Chapter 96 Serial Meter
When leaving the bedroom of Princess Gaoyang's mother and daughter, Qin Mubai really breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, the current hurdle has been crossed. At least, it's just a beautiful man's trick. Princess Gaoyang finally agreed and first expressed her willingness to compromise and accept the marriage.
That is to say, at this time, the emperor can get off the stage, and the monarch will not be damaged.
Qin Mubai did use the probation of the army, but it was used for the emperor. Anyway, you must first win some time for yourself. As for the "poison plan"... it can be implemented slowly step by step. As long as there is time to mediate, there is no need to worry about no chance.
When walking out of the Xianju Hall, a Baiqi primary school suddenly walked to Qin Mubai, secretly gave a wink and whispered, "General, as soon as you entered the hall, General Changsun suddenly left in a hurry."
"I know." Qin Mubai nodded and raised his feet and left.
Looking at the expression of the small school's eyes, Qin Mubai understood a general idea - this small school is reminding Qin Mubai that Changsun is likely to run to the emperor to complain!
Despicable!
It's really a time of adversity before you know who is a friend and who is the enemy!
Usually, this eldest grandson behaves obediently and dares not make it again. But as soon as he was in trouble, he hurriedly took action and fell into the well. Now everyone in the palace knows that I, Qin Mubai, have a great relationship with Princess Gaoyang's refusal to marry, and I am a "major suspect". At this time, I came to the Xianju Hall. In his opinion, it must have been a private conspiracy with Princess Gaoyang, or even an affair.
With a sneer, Qin Mubai went straight to Penglai Hall. At this time, the emperor was having fun with Li Zhi and Li Mingda.
Walking outside the Penglai Hall, Qin Mubai happened to bump into Changsun. The two looked at each other, and the eldest grandson suddenly looked confused, and with a gray face, he slightly arched his hand and said "General Qin" and walked away.
Needless to say, this guy must have been scolded by the emperor. You deserve to sue me for false accusation!
Entering the Penglai Hall, Qin Mubai heard Li Shimin's bright laughter from the bedroom from afar, and Li Zhi and Li Mingda were full of childish laughter. In fact, Li Shimin has always been like this. No matter what unpleasant things happen in the court, no matter how bad he is, he always smiles when he comes here. In front of Li Zhi and Li Mingda, he has always been an amiable, kind and fraternal father.
Perhaps Li Shimin treated Princess Gaoyang like this when he was a child, right? Otherwise, Princess Gaoyang would not be so rebellious**. Seeing that Li Shimin was too kind to Li Mingda, she would be jealous. Suddenly, when she learned that Li Shimin was going to marry her, she resisted hysterically. In fact, maybe Princess Gaoyang may not really hate the love or dislike the marriage, but she can't accept Li Shimin's attitude towards her for a while.
In fact, what did Li Shimin do wrong? Doting on your daughter, although a little too much, is indeed a manifestation of paternity; taking care of the meritorious old minister to marry a daughter, one is to stabilize the imperial power and the other is to attract important ministers, which is also a matter of a king's duty; if you want to marry your daughter better, this is the good wish of most fathers.
But these things are connected in a series, from doting to "abandonment" and "utilization", which makes Princess Gaoyang feel a great gap, so it is unacceptable at all.
Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed: As the saying goes, it's really hard for a clean official to cut off the housework. Li Shimin is a wise man, a great man and a wise man, right? Such an excellent man can't take care of the housework. Although he hopes and works hard to be a good father, it backfires!
This is just a small Princess Gaoyang. He has 20 or 30 children, and there are also some adult sons who are fighting for the throne... Li Shimin, the emperor, is really heartbroken. Especially after the death of the eldest grandson who was in charge of the harem. No wonder he wanted to set up a hundred-rider army to come to the harem to protect the royal family. In fact, it was also to strengthen his control over these concubines and children.
Walking outside the bedroom, Qin Mubai invited the servant to inform him, and soon he was summoned to enter.
Li Zhi and Li Mingda were still so innocent. When they saw Qin Mubai, they laughed happily and greeted the village head one by one.
Li Shimin looked at it with a smile. After a little fight, he called the nurse to take the child away, and specially gave Qin Mubai a seat. He sat down with him and tasted tea together.
"Mu Bai, you just went to Xianju Hall. How's it going?" Li Shimin asked.
Qin Mubai arched his hand and replied, "To your majesty, Weichen is lucky not to humiliate his life. He has persuaded Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang to agree to marry the Fang family."
"Do you really agree?" Li Shimin frowned slightly and questioned a little unbelievable.
"I dare not bully you. Her Royal Highness did verbally agree." Qin Mubai said, "But Weichen can see that Her Royal Highness is still a little reluctant and unwilling, but she is forced to compromise helplessly."
"Compromise?" Li Shimin paused and nodded with a smile, "Does my unruly daughter also know how to compromise?"
"In fact, everyone knows how to compromise when there is no way." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Weichen said to the princess that your majesty was forced to marry by the envoys of Tubo. Because your majesty has agreed to the Tubo people's marriage request before, it is not easy to repent. Moreover, the Tubo people also knew that His Majesty had a beautiful daughter waiting for her boudoir, and she was urging her to marry Tubo every day. Then, Weichen exaggeratedly described the Tubo people... In addition, the virtuous and courteous concubine persuaded her, and Her Royal Highness finally agreed verbally first.
"This damn girl insists on eating hard but not soft." Li Shimin seemed to smile, and wiped his nose with a little joke and said, "No matter what, it can make her soft for the time being, and things will be easy to do. The rest of the things will be left to me and Yin Defei.
"Your Majesty, in fact, Weichen has played a very small role in persuading Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang. What's more, it's the persuasion of the Yinde Concubine. Qin Mubai said, "The Empress Yinde is very intelligent. Obviously, she knows too much about Princess Gaoyang than Weichen. She knows what the princess is thinking, what she is afraid of, and what she is worried about. A few words of persuasion are better than the long talk of Weichen's words.
"I believe this." Li Shimin smiled and said, "My imperial concubine has always been knowledgeable and righteous, virtuous, beautiful and intelligent. Moreover, she has been living with Gao Yang all year round, and she knows Gao Yang very well. I am not as good as her. However, I also know that Yin Defei has always been a little doting on Gao Yang. What she often does is to protect her, even if she does something wrong, she will not beat or scold. You have made great contributions to her persuading Gao Yang this time. You did a good job."
What's the credit for me? It's all about your killing "deterrence" at work! Fortunately, I and Yin Defei are not too stupid. I understand your intention. Otherwise, I don't know what's going on after making a dead soul under the knife. It's really like a tiger! - Qin Mubai thought so in his heart.
"Weichen doesn't know what the final effect will be, so he can only try his best." Qin Mubai arched his hand and deliberately sighed back.
"Ha ha, what are you sighing!" Li Shimin felt much more relieved and laughed, "I know that the biggest grievance this time is actually you. But those who achieve great things must first have a mind. If he can be angry and wronged, won't Han Xin still endure the humiliation? I was also beaten to Chang'an City by Jie Li, and I was forced to give him food, grass and livestock before I let him retreat. But in a few years, he became my prisoner!"
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and Weichen must not be as good as your majesty." Qin Mubai said.
"Haha! However, I know that you are a rare person. Li Shimin laughed a few times, was thoughtfully silent for a moment, and said, "Let's not discuss the matter of Gaoyang for the time being. Wait until I go to the Xianju Hall to ask her what she means, and then we will think about it. I'm going to ask you another thing now."
"Your Majesty, please give me an instruction."
"What do you think of Changsun Fu?" Li Shimin asked.
"General Changsun... He has always been the deputy of Weichen. His ability is outstanding, and he is also more prestige among the sergeants. Moreover, he comes from a famous family and has a wide range of friends. He is very charismatic in the army, and his own ability is also good. He is erudite and versatile. Qin Mubai said so. But he was thinking that the emperor was probably dissatisfied with him because of his eldest grandson's complaint just now, and asked me his opinion and attitude towards him. At this time, of course, I can't fall into the well and say bad things, otherwise I will become a person like Changsun and be looked down upon by the emperor. And I am a chief, and the small report to my subordinates in front of the emperor is also a manifestation of incompetence and narrow-mindedness.
"In this way, Changsun Fu is a young talent with both virtue and talent, a rare talent?" Li Shimin said with a smile.
"That's true." Qin Mubai replied, "Although Weichen has had a little friction with him, it's just a little unpleasant in private and insignificant. In the army and in business, we still live in harmony and cooperate with each other. Generally speaking, Weichen thinks that Changsun Fu is a very competent deputy envoy of Baiqi. In time, it must be more capable."
"Is that so? But I don't think so." Li Shimin sneered and said, "Changsun Huan, he may be a little smart. He also has some martial arts skills with the martial artists at home. From then on, he has been pretentious. I see that he is flashy on the surface, narrow-minded and can't tolerate things, and his conduct is far less than that of his father and brother. It's not a good thing for such a person to stay with me for a long time. Therefore, I decided to transfer my eldest grandson from a hundred horses and transfer him to another army to serve. What do you think?"
