Chapter 51 Magnificent
[Add update, ask for red tickets, thank you!!!]
Qin Bin smiled and introduced the middle-aged man to Qin Mubai: "Second brother, this is the Tu order of the superintendent Zuo's office, and he is an old friend of his father."
"I've seen the Tu Order." Qin Mubai smiled and bowed his hand.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Tu Shiling hurriedly got up and bent down to bow and saluted, "General Qin is a senior official. How dare he accept the general's gift if he can't get the seven-grade order?"
"Since it's my father's old friends, that's the elders. That's how it should be." Qin Mubai sat down and asked his second brother, "Why are the two brothers free today? Are you here to relax?"
Qin Tongxin said bluntly, "To tell you the truth, the third brother, we were appointed by our father and specially invited Tu's order to ask for something."
"What's the matter?"
"It's like this." Qin Tong said, "My father's health is getting better and better, and he has a good tendency to recover. Now he practices martial arts at home all day long and has developed a set of 'Taiji Qin Gun', which is really exquisite. After his strength gradually recovered, he missed the 80 catties of the iron gun he was used to at the beginning, so he asked us to ask for an order to recast a handle with reference to the iron gun he used in those years.
Qin Bin added with a smile, "You should have heard of the third brother. The iron gun used by my father when he fought in the world, known as the 'tiger-headed golden gun', was not only heavy and domineering, but also quite exquisitely made, which could not be made by ordinary craftsmen. Now, my father's gold stove gun is collected in the palace. Whenever there is a major court meeting, he takes it out for exhibition. Naturally, it is not easy for my father to take it back from the emperor. Therefore, I specially asked for the Tu's order to be the supervisor's office to recast it.
Will be the supervisor, which is an important government house specially responsible for the construction of civil palaces and forest water conservancy. The subordinate Zuo School Office is responsible for creating special "limited edition" gold and silver jewelry, rare objects, weapons and armor and other things.
Qin Mubai nodded and arched his hand to Tu's order, "This is really necessary to work hard."
Tu's order was a little flattered: "It's a little thing. I didn't bother the two elders to invite them in person. Just send a letter, but the two princes are really polite. Now there are three princes coming forward. Do you dare to do your best?
Qin Tong and Qin Bin looked at each other and smiled separately. From the performance of the order, it can be seen that the name and face of Qin Mubai are bigger than the two of them. It is not surprising that although Qin Tong has been in the army for many years, he is now a five-grade general, but he is a gatekeeper of the palace guarding the gate. Although this position is important, after all, he is a little monk in the temple, and he has face but can't stand it. Qin Bin is just a school scholar in the Hongwen Museum. Although he is a member of the emperor's think tank, he is still an insignificant nobody now.
In contrast, Qin Mubai, the emperor's beloved general, the commander-in-chief of Qinxun Guards, and today's famous person, is going to be much better!
Qin Tong said, "Third brother, you haven't been home for many days. Today, we happened to meet each other. How about our three brothers go home to visit our father together?"
"This is what I mean."
Qin Tong laughed and said, "Third brother, don't be surprised if you see your father again. For more than half a year, my father has been reborn, and the father who was proud of the heroes and invincible seemed to have come back. His new shooting method is more than several times more powerful and domineering than before - by the way, the three of us learned the maze, fist and gun separately. This shooting method should be passed on to you, right?
Qin Mubai nodded and smiled: "To tell you the truth, big brother, it's indeed a pass. Otherwise, how can my little brother's martial arts advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time and take over the position of Baiqi in one fell swoop?
"Oh, I'm envious!" Qin Tong clapped his big fist and shouted, "If I had known that I had learned guns in those years, I would not have learned maces!" Anyway, if I hadn't been an officer of the Royal Forest Army, I would have wanted to run for the Hundred Horses!"
"Haha, what did the big brother say!" Qin Bin smiled and said, "The Qin family's maze is a unique secret skill, which is only passed on to the direct descendant. This mame is the painstaking efforts of my father's life, which can be called the best in the world. I don't know how many people in the world who practice martial arts are greedy for the trick you have learned. Why are you still jealous of the shooting techniques learned by your third brother now?
"Hey hey, the more the better!" Qin Tong laughed loudly and suddenly thought about it and said, "Third brother, since you have inherited your father's shooting, why don't you ask Tu Shiling to build a golden gun for you? My father said that you were as powerful as when he was young and strong, you must be able to use it.
"Oh, this..." Qin Mubai was still thinking for a moment. On the other side, Tu ordered hurriedly arched his hand and said, "If the third son needs it, please open your mouth. The subordinate will do his best!"
The three brothers laughed together. This order is really self-conscious.
"Okay, then there will be a labor order."
The three brothers and Tu Shiling took a drink for a while and agreed on the matter, and then left the restaurant to prepare for home. When she left the banquet, Wu Mei Niang also specially came to greet the two brothers to salute them, to avoid their drinking money, and said that they would not accept any money as long as they came here in the future. The famous female owner of the world's first wine suddenly appeared in the hall, causing a lot of shock and onlookers.
Qin Tong and Qin Bin were shocked by the surprise of their sister-in-law and praised them endlessly. On the one hand, she naturally admires her beauty and cleverness, and on the other hand, she is quite satisfied with this polite and generous sister-in-law.
Qin Mubai smiled in his heart and said that this charming woman usually only knew how to carry trouble with me in private, but in fact, she was also a general person. What's depressing is that the two big brothers can be free of charge in the future, but I, as a husband, charge several times or dozens of times... This little girl, don't let me save a penny of private money!
The three brothers went out of the restaurant and went home. Along the way, we discussed martial arts and tactics and some insignificant court affairs, and we talked happily. Qin Mubai and the two eldest brothers have always got along well, and they can't learn much from them. Especially his second brother Qin Bin, who works in the Hongwen Museum, is contacted by the central ministers of the court every day, and they discuss various national affairs with the emperor. Under the influence of his ears and eyes all the years, his insight is extraordinary, and he knows many unknown secrets. For example, which prime minister has which former officials, and the emperor has opposed or approved of which minister's political opinions.
The circle of core courtiers of the Tang Dynasty has not been contacted by Qin Mubai. From Qin Bin's mouth, Qin Mubai knew that the emperor's most trusted minister was Changsun Wuji, and the most valued and trusted was Fang Xuanling, but he respected, feared, hated and loved Wei Zheng. There are also rising rookies such as Chu Suiliang and Ma Zhou, who are increasingly loved and valued by the emperor, and his future is bound to be bound.
Listening to Qin Bin's words, Qin Mubai felt that it was better to read for ten years, and he kept all this in mind. This is of great benefit to him in the future.
The three brothers went home together, and Coke ruined the Qin family. Even Qin Shubao, who usually doesn't smile, laughed. At the family banquet, the three brothers drank wine for Qin Shubao and congratulated him on his recovery. The Qin family has great hope of recovery.
After seeing his father after more than three months, Qin Mubai found that he was indeed very different from the past. Now Qin Shubao, with a ruddy face and full muscles, and his body is straight and walks like the wind, always exuding a heroic and domineering spirit of the peak martial arts!
"In the past six months, my father's health has greatly improved, and his symptoms have almost improved. It's time to return to the army." Qin Shubao stroked his long beard and said leisurely.
"Ah? Is your father coming back?" The three brothers were surprised at the same time.
"What, what's wrong?" Qin Shubao smiled and said, "I'm only 50 years old. If it weren't for the perennial illness, how would I be willing to retreat behind the scenes? After the Tang Dynasty pacted the northern Turks, his father had never experienced military affairs. Over the years, Li Jing, Hou Junji and Yu Chigong have made great achievements in the battle between the south and the north, but they don't have the name of Qin Qiong alone. He is not as good as Li Jing as his father, but at least he is no worse than Hou Junji and Yu Chigong! In a moment, my father will go to see the emperor and ask him to return to the army and return to the army!"
"Good, great!" Qin Tong and Qin Bin shouted excitedly, "If my father comes back, another good minister will be added to the Tang Dynasty. My Qin family is bound to recover!"
Qin Mubai was not in a hurry to cheer. He frowned slightly and was silent.
Qin Shubao had already noticed Qin Mubai's expression and asked, "Sanlang, what do you think?"
Qin Mubai arched his hand and said, "It's a great good thing for my father to recover from his illness, and the child also understands the mood of being eager to come back. However, it is not very appropriate for my father to go to your majesty's 'an official position' in such a hurry.
"What is the third brother talking about?" Qin Tong retorted, "My father is in the State of Shangzhu. The position of General Zuo Longwuwei has always been held by my father. How can I talk about 'require for an official position'?"
Qin Shubao frowned and waved his hand: "Don't worry, let Sanlang say it in detail. He must have his reasons and opinions.
"Yes, father." Qin Mubai said, "It's true that my father is still the third-grade general of Zuolong Wuwei. But may I ask - where is the army and where is the camp today's Zuolong Wuwei?
"Uh, this..." Qin Tong was stunned and said with a long sigh, "The third brother said it. Two years ago, His Majesty the emperor reorganized the imperial forest army and reorganized the left and right dragon guard, which used to guard the imperial city, into the left and right Yulin guards and the left and right Qianniu guards, and served as the commander of the general. In addition to the original left and right Jinwu guards and left and right guard guards, the sergeants and generals of the imperial imperial army have all been replaced, and the military power is directly in the hands of the emperor. The former Zuolong Wuwei Yulin Army no longer exists. My father's position as a general is just a false job.
"Not bad." Qin Mubai said, "My father used to be a general of the imperial army. If he asks the emperor for instructions to come back at this time, it is equivalent to asking the emperor for military power. This is bound to put the emperor who is used to holding military power in a dilemma. Even if it is not so easy to transfer your father to serve in the field army of left and right guards and left and right guards. Over the years, Li Jing, Li Xun, Yu Chigong and others have taken charge of military power one after another. How did the emperor insert his father in for a while? In addition, even if it is inserted, isn't it going to take away part of the military power of Li Xun and others and offend others to cause other contradictions?
