Chapter 63 Deep Thoughts

Back to the Baiqi military camp, Qin Mubai happened to pass by the military prison and saw two soldiers walking into the military prison with two large food boxes.

"Come here, what did you mention?" Qin Mubai called the two.

The two non-commissioned officers came to the salute and said, "In reply to the general, this is the dinner prepared for the four maids of honor as General Changsun and General Yuchi."

Qin Mubai asked them to put down the food box, took off the lid and took a look, and said, "Is this food for prisoners? Lotus leaf chicken, stewed mutton tripe, and such a big black sesame sesame oil cake and good wine. This is obviously to entertain VIPs - send these things to my government, and I want to spend the night.

"Ah, this...General..."

"Do you dare to squeak?" Qin Mubai frowned slightly, and the two sergeants hurriedly answered. Qin Mubai then asked a sergeant to send the night, and another sergeant went to send a message to the eldest grandson in the military prison, saying that each of the four maids has a steamed bun and a pot of water a day. Just don't starve to death and die. Let's talk about it for three days. During this period, no one is allowed to say a word to them, otherwise they will be punished for disobeying the military order.

By the way, ask Changsun Huan to come to the government office to spend the night together.

When he returned to the government office, he had set up the eating utensils, and Changsun Huan came. There was no one around, and the eldest grandson hurriedly said, "Brother Qin, you may not have gone too much, right?"

"What's the hurry, eldest grandson. Sit down for a long time, and we will talk while eating. Qin Mubai smiled and motioned his eldest grandson to sit down.

Chang Sun Xun gritted his teeth and sat down patiently.

Qin Mubai knew that Changsun Fu didn't want to offend Princess Gaoyang. Although he was ordered to supervise the four maids of honor, he tried his best to please them.

"The eldest grandson, those maids of honor are used to being domineering, and they can't put anything else in their eyes except Princess Gaoyang. The more you are courteous to them, the more arrogant they will be. Qin Mubai said with a smile while drinking wine for his eldest grandson and said, "We will work in the palace for a long time in the future. If several maids of honor can't control it, who will give us face? What can we take to stand in the palace?

"Brother Qin's words are certainly tenable and reasonable. But... Since we know that they are the people of Princess Gaoyang, we deliberately make things difficult and torture them. Isn't this a great feud with Princess Gaoyang? Changsun said, "I also know the importance of maintaining the military prestige of Baiqi, but there is no need to feud with the royal family for this! After all, the royal family is the head of the family, and we are servants. It's reasonable for evil servants not to oppress the Lord, isn't it?

"Wrong." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Generally speaking, we do serve the whole royal family. But when it comes to the royal family, we represent the dignity of the emperor. The royal family is higher than everyone else, but the emperor is even more supreme in the royal family. Today, there is Princess Gaoyang who dares to challenge the emperor's power. If we don't cure her, it's hard to guarantee that some princes and princesses or princes will challenge one day. In the long run, where does the imperial power exist? What's the value of Baiqi? Therefore, this time, Princess Gaoyang's challenge is not our hundred riders, but the emperor. Do you understand?"

"Uh, this..." Chang Sun Lai blinked his eyes and nodded thoughtfully. "So it is... It seems that Brother Qin can still see clearly and far away."

"It's not that I can see clearly and far away. In terms of being an official, I'm definitely not as good as your eldest grandson. Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I just always grasped a core - Baiqi. I always have to stand in a unified position with the emperor to be invincible. It's unreasonable to offend a royal family for the sake of the emperor, and you don't have to be afraid of anything. On the contrary, if we neglect our duty because we are afraid of offending a Gaoyang princess, that's really wrong. The emperor must be disappointed in us and will no longer trust us.

"I understand." Changsun Xun nodded, "In different environments, our responsibilities are different. In the world, what we want to maintain is the imperial court; in the imperial court, what we want to maintain is the royal family; and within the royal family, what we want to maintain is the emperor. Is that so?"

"You got it right." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Cheers!"

"Brother Xie Qin, dial!" Changsun Xun also breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart: In just two months, Qin Mubai was smarter than before, and he used his cleverness on the blade. He can always grasp the core of the matter. His vision and insight are far beyond most of us. Such talents are really terrible! ...It's strange that he is only about 20 years old. How can he be as old as my father's kind of people? What a monster as a monster!

On a summer night, the four maids of honor cursed in the cell, waiting for the stinky men to send them to serve them. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, everyone was hungry and thirsty again. There was no movement, and the mosquito repellent incense was also burned, which was really bitter. He shouted and scolded for a while, but no one paid attention to them. Later, I was exhausted and fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, Qin Mubai got up early as usual and arranged to go to Daming Palace to change shifts and take over, and took time to the military prison to have a look.

The four maids of honor were sweaty in a steamer-like cell, and two of them cried.

"Bad Military Academy, Stinky Man - Let us out!"

"Sisters, it's him. Do you recognize him? That's him! He caught us!"

"You will regret it! If you abuse us like this, Her Royal Highness will make your whole family die!"

......

Qin Mubai walked to the cell with his hands behind his back. His face was heavy and his eyes were solemn. He hummed softly, and the four maids of honor trembled neatly.

Qin Mubai did not talk nonsense with them. He waved his hand, and a military academy behind him threw four steamed buns and four water bags into the dungeon.

The maids looked at it and were dumbfounded. The steamed bun is dirty when it falls to the ground. How can it be eaten? Even if they can eat... These maids of honor have grown up with Princess Gaoyang and have the habit of eating with their masters. How can they eat such coarse rice?

The court ladies quarreled again.

"Hateful, how can you eat this kind of thing? Why don't you keep it for yourself?

"Don't eat! Don't eat! We want iced sour plum soup and mung bean soup to relieve the heat!"

"Let us out! We are starving to death. Let's see how you can speak to the princess!"

......

"Shut up!" Qin Mubai shouted, which made them scream. Looking at them, Qin Mubai snorted coldly in a low voice, "I'll tell you the truth, if Her Royal Highness hadn't taken the initiative to plead with me, you wouldn't have thought of these steamed buns and water bags - I don't know how to praise, and I like to eat them!"

After saying that, Qin Mubai turned around and left.

Several maids of honor were completely discouraged. They know that this time they really met the role of the king of Yan. For a moment, there was a whining cry in the cell.

Out of the cell, Changsun asked, "Brother Qin, when will this be locked up?"

"It will be closed for three days. Then, when they take the initiative to admit their mistakes and kowtow to beg for mercy, they will consider letting them go. After saying that, Qin Mubai strode away.

After listening to this, Changsun Xun sighed softly. He didn't wait for Qin Mubai to go far, so he got into the cell. He is not stupid. Qin Mubai can tell him this, which is nothing more than to ask him to inform these maids of honor and advise them to be soft and cooperate well as soon as possible, so that he can also plead for Qin Mubai to agree to release people as soon as possible. Otherwise, after such hot weather for a long time, it is really difficult to say whether any of these three young women will be tortured to death, and the matter may be made a big deal, which is not good for anyone.

Thinking about it this way, Qin Mubai actually doesn't really want to embarrass these four women.

"The system is dead and people are alive. He is really smart when he knows how to be flexible... Qin Mubai is really changeable and exquisite!" Changsun can only be secretly amazed in his heart.

Qin Mubai, together with Cheng Huaibi and Yu Chi Baoyun, took the Baiqi sergeant who changed shifts to pick up the emperor in the harem. Li Shimin deliberately said to Qin Mubai before, "Mubai, you don't have to go to court with him. From now on, you can have more rest, and I will give you a relaxing job - take some people to the Penglai Hall in the harem and guard the King of Jin!"

"Weichen obeys the order." Qin Mubai agreed.

Although the two of them talked nonsense, they could not be missing. This at least let the soldiers of Baiqi know that Qin Mubai, who may not appear in the court class in the future, was specially ordered by the emperor to do other errands, rather than being transferred or for other reasons. In this, everyone will not stop speculating and causing unnecessary trouble.

The stability of generals is particularly important for the military heart of an army. Li Shimin and Qin Mubai both deeply understand this truth.

The emperor's car drove away. Qin Mubai led the remaining team of hundred riders and went to the Penglai Hall.

The little prince Li Zhi and Li Mingda were still asleep and did not wake up. The two little guys' bedroom was placed together, and the bed was only a few feet away. Several wet nurses and maidservant take turns to serve them to ensure that there is no shortage of people around them all the time.

Qin Mubai has never been a father, and he has no experience in the work of this kind of father. He feels a little confused and has a big head. Fortunately, it seems that you don't have to feed, wash diapers and sing lullaby by yourself, otherwise it's really frustrating.

After waiting outside the bedroom for a long time, Li Zhi and Li Mingda got up and were rinsed by the maids and were having breakfast.

The two little guys sit at the same table and eat on several sides, and they are not allowed to be fed by others. It's that you eat one chopstick and I eat one spoonful by myself, and we don't feed each other all the time.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but be amused when he saw such a scene after entering.

"Brother Jiu, what my father said yesterday, the heroic general is coming!"

"I don't know if he has eaten yet!" Li Zhi blinked his eyes and waved to Qin Mubai, "General, come here, shall we have dinner together?"

"Ha ha, I've already eaten it. Your Highness, use it slowly by yourself. Qin Mubai smiled relaxedly and said, "After dinner, can I take you for a cool walk in the back garden? The morning air is the freshest, and the flowers are also the most fragrant!"

"Good! Brother Jiu, let's eat quickly!"

"Good, good!"

The maids who were waiting frowned: This arrogant and rude man did not say "serving" the two little princes, but said that he took...

Qin Mubai thought clearly in his heart. If you want to be a good dad, you must first get closer to your children and make them feel that they are their good friends and good partners, so that you can better guide them. And he has a deeper idea in his heart: In case, Li Zhi will become the emperor in the future... I have to leave my special impression in his mind since I was a child, not an ordinary minister's bodyguard!
