Chapter 10 Shocking Four

Soon after, Qin Mubai brought medicinal wine and wine utensils. Naturally, it was Qin Shubao who personally took the cup for the emperor. As soon as the wine was poured out, Li Shimin was shocked: "Uncle Bao, what kind of medicinal wine is this? As soon as the pot comes out, the room is full of fragrance!"

"Why don't your majesty taste it?" Qin Shubao smiled and sold his customs.

Li Shimin picked up the cup curiously, sniffed it carefully between his noses, and said with a smile, "It seems that I'm ignorant. I can't smell what kind of wine is this? Well, you'll know after tasting it."

After saying that, he took a sip.

Since he is the son of heaven, he is naturally extraordinary. Li Shimin's skill of tasting wine is extraordinary. The wine was just in his mouth. Li Shimin rolled up his tongue and tasted it carefully. Suddenly, his eyes widened and his face turned a little red. It seemed that he wanted to spit out what was in his mouth, but he had to swallow the wine in a bit awkward way.

"Cough, cough!" Li Shimin coughed repeatedly, "What a strong wine! Lie! Lie!"

He said three "lie" in a row, which scared Li Ke under the seat: "Father, are you all right?"

Qin Shubao was calm and not busy. He stroked his long beard and smiled, "Your Majesty, how about this wine?"

Li Shimin waved his hand repeatedly, took a few breaths to recover, and laughed loudly: "Good wine! I have never drunk such a strong wine in my life! If it had been more than ten or twenty years earlier, if you drank a cup before the battle, your blood would be boiling all over, and there was no fear of killing at all, haha!"

"Your Majesty is not inferior to the heroism of those years!" Qin Shubao also laughed. The two men who had been bleeding side by side on the battlefield seemed to have returned to the past.

"Who dares to drink a bucket of such spirits? Uncle Bao, you and I have always been the best in alcohol among everyone, but this kind of wine is estimated to fall to the ground after drinking half a pot - tell me quickly, what kind of wine is this? So strange!" Li Shimin looked at Qin Shubao with interest and asked.

Qin Shubao smiled and raised his finger to Qin Mubai: "Your Majesty, you'd better ask the dog. He made this wine."

"Hmm?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Qin Mubai standing beside him, and said, "Qin Sanlang, where did your wine come from?"

Qin Mubai's heart lit up, and he thought that his father intended to let me make a show in front of the emperor... Such a thing is obviously unavoidable.

Therefore, Qin Mubai bowed his hand without hurry and said, "The villain dares not deceive your majesty. This wine is made in a unique way in the Tang Dynasty. It is brewed by a secret method taught by a master who has achieved Taoism by chance.

"Is there such a thing?" Li Shimin was slightly surprised and wrinkled his thick eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully. "Since it is the secret method of getting a Taoist master, is it Taoist fairy wine?" Since it is an unprecedented fairy wine and comes from your Qin family, I will give this wine the name... Qin Fairy Wine! Uncle Bao, don't think I'm greedy. I'm going to have a good drink today. I have to bring some back to the palace and the concubines to taste it slowly. You won't be stingy, will you? Haha!"

Qin Shubao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, hasn't the bitter wine in this village in Weichen's family become the royal wine? Ha ha! Weichen doesn't dare to be stingy, just send half of the altar to your majesty - the remaining half of the altar, but the dog is used to filial piety to Weichen's rheumatic and cold legs, can't you give it all to your majesty at once? Haha!"

"You Qin Lao Er are really stingy with me!" Li Shimin laughed loudly and turned to Qin Mubai and said, "Qin Sanlang, don't you know how to make this wine? I will give you a royal decree. Every time I make wine for your father in the future, I will also make a jar of wine for me. I am willing to buy it with a lot of money.

"The villain obeys the decree. It's an honor for the villain to serve your majesty. Qin Mubai arched his hand and smiled, saying that Li Shimin, the emperor, was kind and knew how to respect "intellectual property rights" and did not force me to tell him how to make wine.

Since he likes it, I will take the initiative to offer it if I choose an opportunity in the future. Maybe it's a way to come from a picture? Even if you can't make a fortune in this way and use the emperor as a live advertisement, it is also a business opportunity and unlimited financial resources.

Since it is an opportunity, there is no reason to let it go!

Today, the Qin Mansion is like a family banquet, where monarchs and ministers drink in the same room. From time to time, Qin Mubai thought that the rumor that Li Shimin treated his ministers like relatives did not seem to be a false beautification.

"It seems that I'm really right to come today. It's worth the trip!" Li Shimin laughed in a good mood and said, "Come on, Qin Sanlang, you don't have to be polite. Just sit next to Ke'er and share this Qin Xian wine with him!"

"There is no wine, no meat, no feast." Qin Shubao patted his hand, "Come on, let's have a banquet!"

"Shubao, I know that you have never liked sex, but if there is wine and meat, if there is no music, it is not a feast, but I am a good mouthful." After saying that, Li Shimin shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Since the death of the queen, I haven't been so relaxed and happy for some days. Do you mind giving me some music and letting me have fun?"

"Since your majesty has an order, how dare you not obey it? But Weichen is indeed an excellent actor who doesn't have a family. Qin Shubao naturally knew Li Shimin's hobby and said with a smile, "Come on, go to the West City quickly..."

"Hence." Li Shimin interrupted Qin Shubao with a mysterious smile and said, "Shubao, you have a top musician in your house. Who are you going to invite outside?"

Qin Mubai, who was sitting at the bottom, was moved: What does the emperor mean? It seems to be a little aimed at me!

Qin Shubao was stunned. He blinked his eyes and thought for a moment, and shook his head blankly: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you said. The old and young members of the Weichen family, including servants and maids, are not half proficient in rhythm.

"So I said, you, a father, really don't know your son." Li Shimin smiled mysteriously, "The father drinks a banquet, the son serves each other, presents music, and makes a whirl dance. It is both the joy of human family and the way of filial piety. After saying that, he pointed to Qin Mubai: "Qin Sanlang, what are you waiting for?"

Qin Mubai was slightly shocked: Strange, why did the emperor suddenly play this?

Qin Shubao was even more surprised: "Your Majesty, why did you say this? Liang'er has not learned the rhythm and dance since she was a child. Let Weichen send someone to invite Qu Ji Youling!"

"No, no!" Li Shimin waved his hand repeatedly and looked at Qin Mubai with a straight smile.

Qin Mubai had to stand up and arch his hand and said, "I don't know what kind of instrument do you want the villain to play?"

Li Shimin smiled and said with interest, "Of course it's a pipa."

Qin Mubai's heart moved: Strange! How could the emperor know that I could play the pipa? Did he hear it when he heard the people in Zhaoling, or when he went to Zhaoling in person?

Thinking of the inexplicable adjustment order again, Qin Mubai's heart interrupted: It's very likely!

"Liang'er... Can you play the pipa?" Qin Shubao asked with some trembling. Although the emperor's virtuous sergeant is lenient and benevolent, the crime of bullying the king is not so easy to carry.

"Father, don't worry." Qin Mubai was calm. He got up and smiled and arched his hand and said, "Since your majesty has a decree, the villain has to make a fool."

Li Ke, who was beside him, blinked suspiciously at Qin Mubai and said to himself, "No, my father began to talk about learning from teachers. Is it a pipa?" Impossible! Qin Mubai and I have known each other for so many years, and I have never seen him play any musical instrument. Not only that, he is simply an idiot in music! On the contrary, I have heard for a long time that my father has learned how to play the pipa since he was a child. His musical attainments may not be much better than some court musicians... Today's events are really weird!

The pipa is here.

Li Shimin was full of interest. Qin Shubao was hesitant. Li Ke was curious and surprised - under the gaze of the three people with different looks, Qin Mubai smiled calmly and said, "I don't know your majesty, what song do you want to hear?"

"Of course, it's your best song." Li Shimin didn't know the name of the song he heard in Zhaoling that day.

"Follow the decree." Qin Mubai was even more clear when he saw the emperor's eyes: It seems that the emperor has indeed been to Zhaoling and has heard it with his own ears!

Holding the pipa twisting his fingers on the upper string, Qin Mubai's expression was restrained and his right hand fingers quickly touched the pipa string, and the wonderful sounds of "dong-dong" made the three people present couldn't help tremble slightly.

These notes, like the magic that penetrates the soul, firmly attracts their attention. In addition, Qin Mubai's unique skills and gestures of playing the pipa surprised Qin Shubao and Li Ke.

"Is there anyone in the world who plays the pipa directly with his hands? It's really unheard of!"

Li Shimin held the wine glass in his hand and his expression was silent, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he had been absorbed in the appreciation of the music.

A song "Overlord Unloaded Armor" came out. Qin Mubai held the pipa vertically and held his neck in his left hand, stroked the rhythm, and swept the five fingers of his right hand flexibly on the four strings. The melody of Overlord Unloading Armor is ups and downs, and the rhythm is unrestrained and heroic. When the music reached **, his left hand also added skills such as pushing, belting, hitting, closing, twisting, etc. The sound of the song was strong and powerful, as if it were a band playing an ensemble.

Li Shimin was completely lost. He didn't know when he had put down his wine glass. Unconsciously, he learned Qin Mubai's gesture to twist his neck and pluck the string, and his body shook slightly rhythmically left and right, as if he was intoxicated.

Qin Shubao, who has always been like the collapse of Mount Tai and does not change color, has been stunned on the spot. He opened his mouth slightly and opened his eyes wide, and his eyes are ever-changing, as if he has returned to the ** years when the golden iron horse galloped on the battlefield. Thousands of troops and enemies are facing the current, and his horses are currently rushing in the rain of knives, guns and arrows, and everyone is open. Yi Wei I am the only one!

Li Ke brought a glass of wine to his mouth, but forgot to drink it, and his movements were still.

When the music reaches the end, it is the ** of Overlord Unloading Armor. The Han soldiers besieged Yu Ji and danced, and then said goodbye to Xiang Yu...

Generous, passionate, sad and tragic! - Beauty is thin, and the hero is late!

Li Shimin's movements stagnated, unconsciously thinking of the Empress Changsun, who had just passed away; Qin Shubao was also a little stunned, recalling how heroic he was in the first half of his life, but now he is lying on the couch like a useless person... Thousands of emotions and sighs.

The two bleeding men's eyes were a little wet.

Li Ke was so shocked that he didn't dare to throw his eyes on the seat, so he had to lower his head and pretend not to know.

"Bong-dong-dong-dong!"

The four-string cracks, and the song is over.

The room is full of silence.

With a bang, the wine glass in Li Ke's hand fell on the table, and the wine overflowed, and the room was full of wine fragrance.

"I am rude, and I hope my father will forgive me!" Li Ke left the table in panic and bowed.

Li Shimin, who was sitting in the seat, suddenly came to his senses, waved his sleeves and wiped his eyelids with an inadvertent action. He waved his hand and said, "Forgive you for your innocence, get up."

Qin Mubai smiled and thought that Li Ke was a thoughtful and clever smart man. He diverted everyone's attention with his seemingly reckless behavior to cover up the emperor's gaffe.

Qin Shubao held up a wine glass and stared at his son who made him feel a little strange. He didn't say anything for a long time, as if he hadn't recovered.

"How's it going, Uncle Bao?" Li Shimin changed his mood and expression quickly, and turned his face and smiled.

"This... Weichen doesn't have a dark rhythm. It's hard to say." Qin Shubao didn't want to boast, so he had to reply with a wry smile.

"Haha!" Li Shimin laughed and said, "If you want me to comment - Qin Sanlang's hand is a pipa, and his technique is unprecedented. The music is as impassioned as martial arts and military music, and it is lingering and affectionate, which is different from any popular pipa music in spring and snow nowadays. Therefore, Qin Sanlang can be called the first master of Pipa's music!"

"The villain dares not." Qin Mubai put down the pipa and bowed his hand.

Qin Shubao and Li Ke were shocked: a generation of masters?! The emperor rarely gives such a high evaluation to anyone!

"Shubao, do you believe that I'm here to learn art?" Li Shimin smiled relaxedly and said, "Qin Sanlang, would you like to accept me as a student and teach me how to play the pipa?"

"Ah?" At this time, even Qin Mubai exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, this must be!" Qin Shubao said in a hurry, "The dog is stubborn, how can he be the emperor?"

"Alas, Uncle Bao - those who learn without the ability of the elders and the young are the first, and those who learn without the noble and lowly are the masters!" Li Shimin waved his hand carelessly, "Who in the world is omnipotent? Even if I am, there are many places where I am not as good as others, so I have to study with an open mind!"

"No, in a word, this is not!" Qin Shubao fell down and refused.

"Well... I asked him to present the score of this song, and I will go back to the palace to think about it by myself. Is this okay?" Li Shimin helped Qin Shubao and shook his head helplessly and smiled. He knows Qin Shubao's personality, and it seems that he has to step back.

Qin Mubai bowed his hand and said, "The villain should obey his own orders. He can write music now."

"Come on, take the four treasures of the study!"

Qin Mubai sat down and wrote a score of "Overlord Unloading Armor" in the way of "Gong Shang Jiao Hui Yu", which was done in an instant.

Li Shimin held the ink music score in his hand, looked carefully and exclaimed again: "Good word! At the end is a unique and good word with an iron hook and silver!"

Qin Shubao has already seen Qin Mubai's handwriting, and there are too many amazing things that happen today. He is already a little numb and not surprised.

"Qin Sanlang, I have never heard of this font. Did you create it yourself?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, that's right." Qin Mubai had to respond shamelessly. It's not worth telling him that this thin golden italic was created by a faint king of the Song Dynasty hundreds of years later, right?
