Chang'an romantic

Chapter 105 Complete Departure

The King of Wu's Mansion was almost completely busy. It was not finished until dawn, and the people were ready to go. Li Ke asked everyone to rest for an hour or two, and then left.

In fact, Qin Mubai is not busy, and some chores are in the care of by his subordinates. He took a nap for a while and went back to Qin Mansion at dawn to say goodbye to his family.

Qin Shubao still got up early and practiced martial arts and horse riding in the backyard. He was already sweating like rain. Qin Mubai came to the backyard to find him and told him about going to Jiangzhou.

"That's good. You can leave Chang'an for the time being!" Qin Shubao didn't say much. "As a father, I just want to remind you that Beijing officials are outside, and in fact, there is no sense of superiority. Those state and county officials have been together for a long time, and they are deeply entangled with each other, and they are also very powerful to line up outsiders. Although they are obedient to the people from the court on the surface, they also have a solution in private. People in the officialdom have their own way of survival and the art of being an official, which is not easy to deal with. You are going on a trip with Li Ke this time, which represents the dignity of the royal family. You should pay attention to avoid mistakes everywhere.

"The child can save it, and the father can rest assured." Qin Mubai answered and talked to Qin Shubao about the idea of taking the demon girl and those orphan girls to live at home.

Qin Shubao thought for a little and nodded: "Yes. After hearing the good name of this demon girl for a long time, how can he sit back and watch her be defiled by a prodigal son like Yuanchang, the king of Han? Pick her up and those orphan girls! Although the Qin Mansion is small, it can still live with them. Although his father was incompetent, Yuanchang, the king of Han, did not have the courage to dare to come to the Qin Mansion of the Twelve. It's a good thing to take in an orphan girl. Your mother and sister and I have nothing to do, and we can also help the demon girl take care of those orphan girls.

"Thank you, father!" Qin Mubai was greatly relieved. Unexpectedly, my father was always cold and arrogant, but his heart was so kind and full of justice. With him, I can completely rest assured!

In fact, Li Shimin has always treated his old ministers very well. Even if he is an old meritorious official who has retired to the second line, Li Shimin has never ignored it, let alone done anything to "unload the mill and kill the donkey". There were dozens of meritorious officials in the founding of the country, and later there were twenty-four meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion, who were famous in later generations, which are all powerful explanations.

It is precisely because of emperors like Li Shimin that the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty did not have "flying birds with good bows, cunning rabbits and dead dogs cooking", but became more and more noble. Although some people have become extremely ministers (such as Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji), and some people gradually fade out of the stage (Qin Shubao is the representative), as long as Emperor Li Shimin is alive for a day, these founding ministers will never be forgotten by people, and will not be reduced to a vulnerable group.

Moreover, Emperor Li Shimin has always been most disgusted with the people of the royal family who bully the people. If such a thing happens, instead of protecting his shortcomings, he will be stricter with the members of the royal family and implement double standards.

Therefore, although Li Yuanchang, the king of the Han Dynasty, ran rampant in Chang'an City because of the favor of the former emperor Gao Zu, he did not have the courage to provoke the founding father of Qin Shubao. Otherwise, the emperor will know, and without asking who is right and who is wrong, the emperor will definitely make a mistake with Li Yuanchang first.

Later, Qin Mubai said goodbye to his mother and sister again, roughly cleaned up a simple salute at home, and was ready to go to the Wu Wangfu and set out with most of the people. Before leaving, Qin Mubai handed over his family affairs to his sister Shuang'er. Although this new family hasn't stayed for a night, it's at least a family. Although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, there are several people in the house to manage. The money, goods and contract books have now been handed over to the little housekeeper, Shuang'er.

Shuang'er was a little reluctant to leave Qin Mubai, and on the other hand, she was a little proud and happy: "Hee hee! On the days when the third brother is away, I am the master of your family! As long as I have free time, I will go to your house to take care of it. By the way, I'm going to take the demons and those little girls to your house. You can toss as much as you like!"

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "It's up to you. As long as it doesn't burn a fire.

Mother Liu Shi patted Shuang'er's head with a smile: "You wild girl! Your brother asked you to take care of him, not for you. By the way, if the demon girls are not used to living here, you can invite them to live with your brother. Anyway, your brother is not at home now, and the house is empty. Your father... he is too serious. For my mother, I'm worried about the demons. They are restrained and not used to it.

"I know, mother!" Shuang'er snickered happily, "If we go to my brother's house, we will be really free!" No one cares!"

Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled, "There is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is the king. OK, I'm leaving. Mother, little sister, take care!"

Later, Qin Mubai arrived at the Wuwang Mansion. Everyone was already having breakfast, and soon they were ready to go. Qin Mubai put on his horse and walked in the front with Li Ke. He led hundreds of troops out of the royal palace and walked to Chang'an Street.

"Mu Bai, let's go to the West City and go to Zhuque Street." Li Ke said.

"I understand." Qin Mubai smiled. Li Ke's intention is obvious. In fact, it is the nearest to go to Jinguangmen from the Wuwang Mansion. But he deliberately wanted to go around the West City and Zhuque Street. Undoubtedly, it was to let more people know that Li Ke was ordered to go out and went back on the stage.

Sure enough, when the citizens of Chang'an saw this well-equipped and dazzling team from afar, they all looked forward to it. Li Ke was dressed in a formal purple Lulong Dynasty uniform, wearing Sanliang Jinxian's crown, and his face was radiant and walked in the front. Qin Mubai is a full-length hanging, golden armor, a unicorn robe, a waist hanging treasure knife, and holding the Qin family's "golden gun" that is eight feet long and weighs dozens of kilograms for the first time, which is majestic and eye-catching.

Behind them are Li Ke's "King Wu of the Tang Dynasty" flag and the special Kirin battle flag for Baiqi. Whether it is Baiqi or a private soldier of the Wuwang Mansion, they are all high-headed horses, high-class bright armor and scarlet robes.

It's hard not to pull the wind when such a team of people walk on the street.

Seeing them coming from afar, the citizens consciously flashed and watched on both sides, and there was a whisper in the crowd.

"Is that the King of Wu? I haven't seen him so ostentatious for a long time. After hiding for a long time, where are you going this time?

"It should be ordered to travel, otherwise it will not be so publicized. Last time I heard that he was demoted to the position of governor and went back to Chang'an to reflect on himself. It should have been more than half a year, right? Now it's back on the stage.

"It is said that the king of Wei and the prince are fighting secretly, and everyone wants to forget the king of Wu. I didn't expect him to come out of the mountain again now... This Chang'an city is going to be more lively!"

"Oh, isn't that a hundred riders? This time, the king of Wu went on a job, and the emperor actually sent a hundred riders to accompany him. It seems that he is going to do something big! It seems that the emperor did not forget the king of Wu and sent his own guard to him. We haven't heard that the prince or the king of Wei have had such preferential treatment!"

......

The group of people didn't walk fast. In Chang'an City, they swaggered through the market and deliberately had a good time. Qin Mubai thought to himself that Li Ke was announcing his "high-profile return" to everyone. For more than half a year, his palace has been as quiet as stagnant water. It seems that he can't stand loneliness. In addition, the ministers who had made friends with him in the past stayed away from him when he was in trouble and turned to the prince or the king of Wei, which may also make him a little angry. Now it's like deliberately showing off like this, which means hitting them in the face. Or show the banner and intend to recruit another group of people to come back and re-enter the effect.

It seems that Li Ke is not really willing to "be a prince of peace" as he said. In fact, he is still a little ambitious.

After leaving the Mingde Gate, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was quite soothing, as if he had put down a heart-sized stone of pleasure and relief.

"Mu Bai, do you know how I feel now?" Li Ke suddenly asked.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease."

"No, no!" Li Ke took a long breath again and said, "I feel like I suddenly regained my freedom after being locked in a cage for a long time. I haven't breathed the air outside Chang'an for a while, and I haven't seen the magnificent mountains and rivers. Just now, I raised my eyes and looked at the city of Chang'an and Qinchuan, which was eight hundred miles away. I was really relaxed and refreshed.

"Fish into the sea and birds fly to the sky, that's probably the case." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's a rare opportunity. We must do our best in this Jiangzhou errand. Moreover, it should be done well. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences of the abandonment of all the previous efforts are unimaginable.

"Of course I understand." Li Ke frowned and said, "There is no fairness in the world. Some people have done wrong all their lives, but as long as they do the right thing, he will always be right; some people will do good things all their life, but only do one wrong thing, then he will always be wrong. Mu Bai, you and I are probably the last kind of people.

"It's true." Qin Mubai answered with a soft smile and thought to himself: Li Ke finally vented his dissatisfaction. Is he insinuing that he is too Li Chengqian? This man Lulu is incompetent and unworthy, but just because he is the first son of the Empress Changsun, he becomes the crown prince indisputably. Li Ke is recognized as the most emperor-like and most capable prince, but because he is a concubine, he is doomed to have nothing to the crown prince in his life. If he wants to "comp for the savings", his bloodline and origin alone is an almost insurmountable mountain.

He compared me to the same kind of person as him, which is actually right. To put it bluntly, Baiqi is a bodyguard. He should do a good job. The emperor and the members of the royal family are safe, and the work is in place. But as long as you make a mistake, it will be irreparable. This time, I haven't taken the initiative to make a mistake, but I have entered a dangerous situation because of Princess Gaoyang's "blaming". It can be seen that my seemingly beautiful hundred riders is actually a thankless and high-risk job.

"Your Highness, General Qin, the disaster is like fire. Let's start quickly!" Quan Wanji came forward and said.

"Okay, let's not talk about it - pass on the king's order, rush to Jiangzhou, and move forward quickly!"
