Chapter 97 No punishment but reward

At this time, the emperor suddenly talked about the expulsion of Changsun, which caught Qin Mubai quite a little caught off guard and didn't know what medicine was sold in his gourd. Is it because Changsun Huan came to sue him for a false accusation today and fired him? That's not enough!

After thinking about it quickly, Qin Mubai couldn't help trembling in his heart and thinking of some clues.

There must be a deep reason why Li Shimin expelled the late queen's nephew. Baiqi is a special army. Li Shimin also has special and strict requirements for this army. The first priority is to be able to "contain royal secrets".

Baiqi is on duty in the inner palace, and he can always see a lot of royal privacy. If you can't keep it a secret, it will be the most fatal mistake. Because no one wants their own privacy to be exposed to the public, not to mention the emperor of Regret.

But Changsun Xun has such a problem - he loves to report, and his mouth is not strict. Now Qin Mubai can be said to be in trouble, so he immediately ran over to falsely accuse the emperor and fell into the well.

What Li Shimin probably thought was that Changsun Huan was usually well-behaved and respected his immediate superior Qin Mubai, but at this juncture, he came to the bottom of the well. He can betray Qin Mubai today, and tomorrow he may betray the royal family and reveal his privacy.

Such a person, such conduct habits, can't be trusted!

Because of his small opinion, Li Shimin decided to fire his eldest grandson. Whether he is his own relative or not, the privacy of the emperor is far more important than any relative!

At the same time, the emperor is undoubtedly sending a dangerous signal to Qin Mubai: If you dare to spread rumors outside, the consequences and consequences may be worse than that of Changsun. Changsun is my nephew, so you don't have to say.

Kill the chicken and warn the monkey!

Li Shimin's move is not exposed, but it is a hidden murder!

In fact, thinking about this clearly is just a flash of time. In the palace and around the emperor for so long, Qin Mubai's sense of crisis and political ** have already risen sharply. Although he has not become an old treacherous and slippery, at least he knows how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.

So he said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty has a will, and I can only obey it. But Weichen also has some suggestions. I don't know whether to say it or not?

"Tell me." Li Shimin said relaxedly with a smile, "The reason why I ask you is to hear your opinion! It has always been my advice strategy to speak freely and brainstorm. In addition, you are a hundred riders, and of course you have the most say.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister said so." Qin Mubai said, "Although Changsun Xun does have some small shortcomings, he does not hide his flaws. He is indeed a rare talent. And he has been working in the Hundred Horses for so long and is familiar with everything. Among the three deputy envoys, he is actually the most capable. Otherwise, Weichen could not be so relaxed that he could accompany the King of Jin and the Princess of Jinyang in the Penglai Hall every day. If Changsun Fu is suddenly withdrawn, the normal operation of Baiqi may fall into a temporary dilemma, and it will be difficult to find a person to completely replace Changsun Fu in a short time. That's one."

"It makes sense. What about the second one?"

"Second, Baiqi is His Majesty's personal guard, a special army that serves the royal family. Therefore, the appointment and removal of officials are different from other ordinary armies." Qin Mubai said, "After the general is transferred, it must be difficult to adapt to the environment and work of Baiqi for a while. That is to say, the generals of Baiqi can be transferred out and adapt to any army; but the generals of other armies may not be able to adapt to Baiqi. Moreover, Baiqi has always been a strict whole. If there is a place of discord, it will inevitably affect the cooperation of the whole group. Your Majesty transferred Changsun Fu, and there were only two of the three deputy envoys left, and he was one of the most important deputy envoys. Then Weichen had to be in charge of the barracks every day.

"In what you said, this eldest grandson can't be transferred away?" Li Shimin said with a smile.

"It's not that it can't be transferred... At least before that, Your Majesty should choose a replacement for him." Qin Mubai said.

"I have someone to choose." Li Shimin said, "Let's use Li Junxian!" He has been with you since the establishment of Baiqi. It should be no problem, right? Just make him a little tired and serve as a deputy envoy and a long history. As for his position as the general of the gatekeeper, it was changed to a procurator. His rank and salary remained unchanged. The military affairs of the gatekeeper were first handed over to others to take care of him. He didn't have to worry about it, but let him concentrate on his affairs. Until you have the right person to replace him as his deputy envoy, I will restore him to the position of general of the guard. What do you think?"

"Since Your Majesty has made all the arrangements, Weichen has nothing more to say." Li Shimin arched his hand and said, "I will obey the holy order."

"Ha ha!" Li Shimin laughed and said, "Mu Bai, I just like your responsible and serious attitude. Also, you have a general's heart. I have always known the contradictions between you and your eldest grandson. Changsun Xun repeatedly made things difficult and slandered you, but you can keep saying good things for him at this time, which is enough to show that you are a good-looking and open-minded person. I have always believed that the state of pacifying the world has a skill that can be used; but to protect the country and the people, it is necessary to have good morality and practice. In a prosperous era, we need a person like you who is upright and capable, to share my worries and contribute to the country. Compared with the two, Changsun is too far away from you!"

"Your Majesty's praise!" Qin Mubai drew a black line in the corner of cold sweat: Fortunately, I reacted fast enough and cleverly. I didn't say bad things about Changsun at this time like Changsun, or strongly supported or even encouraged the emperor to expel Changsun. Otherwise, I will definitely have to get out of here like him, and there will even be worse consequences.

The meaning of the emperor's words is probably that I have passed his "moral test". He should be able to believe that I am not a frivolous person and will go out to reveal the privacy of the royal family.

It's so dangerous!

It's really like a tiger, killing step by step.

Although this Baiqishi looks beautiful on the surface, it is too hard and risky. I might as well find a way to change my job!

"Regardless of the result of Gaoyang's matter, you have done a good job so far. You should be rewarded. And you have suffered a lot of grievances, and I want to compensate you even more. Li Shimin said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly in his heart: Is this an empty check I wrote to me? The gourd radish is a big stick, and the superiors like to play this kind of routine.

"Your Majesty, these are actually all things within the affairs of Weichen, and Weichen dares not ask for rewards." Qin Mubai smiled a little awkwardly and said, "If your majesty really wants to reward... Weichen still has two days of vacation!"

"Haha! I know that you are different from those vulgar officials, and you will ask for some gold and silver beauty or good horses. But if you don't ask, I will give it to you. Because it has always been my purpose to reward and punish the guilty. Li Shimin laughed and said, "I was really uneasy about your vacation because of your illness. This is what I owe you in private. It's really hard to say what happened so far without you that night. As a father, I must also thank you. Well, you can persuade Phennu and Yanzi to reassure them later, and then you can go back to rest. I owe you two days of vacation, and I will pay you back ten days. You are indeed tired during this period, and you should have a good rest. In addition, I will give you a house in Chang'an. You are also not young. Sooner or later, you will get married. It's somewhat inappropriate to live with your father all the time.

"This... Your Majesty is such a generous gift that Weichen dares to receive the salary without merit?" Qin Mubai quickly arched his hand and said in panic.

"It doesn't matter." Li Shimin smiled and said, "My son is my heart. Can't she live as good as a house? In addition, the child slave is also the direct prince, and he will open the house in two years. I will make you the king of Jin and fully assist Phennu. I can see that he is obedient to you, and even better than treating me as a father. If you want to choose Wang Fu for him, you are the best candidate! Therefore, it is necessary for you to be independent in advance. You can take this house at ease!"

"In that case, Weichen will thank the emperor for his kindness!"

"So, you step back." Li Shimin patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder with a smile and said, "In these ten days, you can rest at home at ease. I will let people choose the house, and then you can start taking care of it. After finishing the work, I will go back to the palace and take office. You can hand over the affairs of the army to Li Junxian and the other two deputy envoys. Now, you go to the Royal Garden to find Zhinu and Yanzi first!"

"Weichen quit..."

Out of the bedroom, Qin Mubai went to the Royal Garden to find Li Zhi and Li Mingda. He tried his best to persuade the two little guys, and then took a long breath and went to the Baiqi Camp.

At this time, he thought, in fact, I just casually talked about the two-day vacation. Unexpectedly, the emperor gave me ten days with a wave of his hand. It seems that he wants to get me out of the sight of Princess Gaoyang first, and then deal with the whole thing coldly. Princess Gaoyang's wedding has caused a lot of uproar. Now he has separated our two parties and waited for another ten days and a half months. When the limelight is over, it will slowly calm down.

Then the emperor accidentally gave me a house... This intention became clearer. Chang'an City, the first city in the sky, is a place with an inch of land and an inch of gold. How can it be easy to build a house? Many officials have been transferred from the local government to municipal teachers, and they have not been allowed to settle in long homes for three or five years. This difficulty is like buying a luxury house in the current center of Beijing, and it is too much.

With such a heavy reward, Li Shimin only wanted to convey a meaning to his subjects: Now that Princess Gaoyang has promised to marry the house, Qin Mubai not only has no fault, but also has merit. That is to say, it is rumored that he has an affair with Princess Gaoyang, which is pure fiction. Otherwise, why did I reward him without killing him? Moreover, it is well known that the blasphemy of the monarch in the turbiding harem is enough to kill anyone more than a hundred times!

This is indeed a trick! It's far more than a hundred times better than explaining to everyone with all your words!

"Li Shimin is extremely smart and resourceful, and his wrist is really awesome!" Qin Mubai sighed secretly.
