Chapter 335 The Temple is far away

Originally, according to Qin Mubai's prior itinerary, he stayed in Xiangyang for at most six or seven days, and then turned to Yangzhou for a tour. Unexpectedly, after all, their group of people still have too big goals, and it is extremely difficult not to leak the news.

Xiangzhou was originally a place where Qin Mubai made a foundation, saying that he was half a local emperor and not a country. Now that the "old lord" has returned to his hometown, the officials and merchants above and below, as long as they can have a little relationship, they can do their best to flatter sincerity.

Today's assassin's visit to the door, tomorrow's captain will make a post visit, and the leaders of the three major chambers of commerce who are close to Wu Mei Niang's business are invited to each other, and even the local gentry have sharpened their heads to find relationships. They want to invite Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang to come.

If you reach out and don't hit the smiling face, you can't touch other people's kindness. For more than half a month, I visited an average of one or five households a day before I finally got some entertainment.

Even if it is a delicacy, it is disgusting to eat. Qin Mubai finally understood the truth that people are afraid of being famous and pigs afraid of being strong. Don't underestimate the people in Xiangyang, the emperor of the mountain. Their noses are not as dull as those of rich families in Chang'an. Qin Mubai's feat in Lanzhou has spread all over the world. At present, he is going to marry Princess Gaoyang. It is difficult for such a young man to be underdeveloped. As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to be officials. Qin Mubai can be said to have made a fortune in Xiangyang. Xiangyang people naturally regard him as half of their fellow villagers. This is "geting relatives and bringing old friends". It is also natural for them to squeeze up and squirm.

Since he became an official, Qin Mubai, who has not bullied his superiors and is not humiliated, has always put on airs. He can talk happily with the princes and nobles, and can also get along with the nine-grade officials, so he is very popular. This time he revisited Xiangyang's hometown, he really felt the feeling of "coming home in brocade".

It's just that this trip has been delayed. In this way, it was about to celebrate the Spring Festival on the road, so after discussing with his mother and others, Qin Mubai decided to spend the New Year in Xiangyang. Qin Mubai sent an urgent letter to Chang'an to his eldest brother Qin Tong and his second brother Qin Bin, asking them if they would like to come to Xiangyang together during the annual leave to find a new way to spend the New Year. A few days after, he received a reply from his eldest brother Qin Bin. The letter said that he and Qin Bin had just received a transfer order, and the two brothers entered the Baiqi together, serving as deputy envoy and Changshi. During the Spring Festival, the two had to stay in the palace, so they could not come to Xiangyang. Please forgive your mother, third brother and princess.

Qin Mubai and others were very happy to receive this letter. I didn't expect this to be settled so soon. It seems that the emperor's heart has indeed been clear. Before asking Qin Mubai once, he had a little meaning of "asking guests to kill chickens", and he insisted that Qin Mubai take the initiative to ask him for this favor.

This old man, monkey spirit! Even if you give benefits, you can't give them for nothing! - Qin Mubai laughed.

In fact, Qin Mubai also knew in his heart that he had made great achievements in Lanzhou, and the court rewarded him from top to bottom, but did not give Qin Mubai any substantial commendation. On the one is that he is going to marry the princess, and this princess is the greatest reward. On the other is, Qin Mubai is too young. Now he is a four-grade official. If he is promoted, he will be bigger than his father's official. This is not good. Therefore, Li Shimin changed the reward to his two brothers.

In this way, there are four men in the Qin family, all of whom are in high positions. For a while, they have become a new force in the court!

Princess Gaoyang is naturally happy. Although she never cares about the family, at present, it is such a custom, just like the 21st century. Which girl doesn't want to marry a better husband? In the past, although Qin Shubao was the second-grade Shangzhu Kingdom, the Qin family did decline. Gao Yang Gong mainly got married, and he really tasted a little condescending to get married.

Not now. The Qin family is really prosperous! Not to mention that Qin Shubao sits in Lanzhou to block half of the western line of the Tang Dynasty, which is more important than that of Li Xun. Let's say, which of the three sons of the Qin family is also a new star in the military world. Especially Qin Mubai, one of his contributions, made his two brothers leap over the Dragon Gate overnight and became a senior officer of Baiqi, the emperor's confidant, and a popular man in the future!

The perfect marriage that Princess Gaoyang longs for is nothing more. This is probably also in Li Shimin's mind - the perfect marriage that should belong to Princess Gaoyang. Now it seems that Princess Gaoyang's marriage to Qin Mubai is many times better than marrying Fang Yuai at the beginning.

Now, the weight of Qin Shubao is not much lower than that of Fang Xuanling; but Qin Mubai is stronger than the love of thousands of houses, which is the biggest difference between the two. From this, it can also be directly seen that the emperor's painstaking efforts are regaining face for himself. The Qin family is developed, and Princess Gaoyang's remarriage is not so eye-catching.

The only thing that will feel very shabby should be Fang Xuanling. Princess Gaoyang cried and hung up and ruined the brown imperial marriage. If Princess Gaoyang gets married in the future, Fang Xuanling will feel a little better; but it seems that Princess Gaoyang really needs to climb Gaozhi to "job"! Now, Fang Xuanling may be more painful and depressed than being directly slapped in the face.

I don't know what method the emperor will eventually use to comfort Fang Xuanling, a meritorious old minister who has been following him for many years. Qin Mubai also thought a lot about him. After all, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are now the emperor's most powerful and confidant. But now, these two court bosses have a big or small feud with Qin Mubai. As his marriage with Princess Gaoyang approaches, this hatred and contradiction become more and more prominent. Nowadays, the competition for the direct crown prince is becoming more and more fierce. Fang Xuanling is actually a kind and loyal person. He has been entrusted by the Empress Changsun and has been trying his best to assist the prince Chengqian.

Li Shimin has not abolished Li Chengqian for a long time. An important reason is that a group of court ministers led by Fang Xuanling are adhering to the traditional concept of direct concubines and opposing the abolition. Therefore, Fang Xuanling is a staunch prince. Behind the king of Wei, there is a considerable group of young officials and the emperor's subjective love; while Changsun Wuji has been relatively low-key in recent years because of the dying sentence of Empress Changsun, "foreign relatives are not important". In the years of Emperor Changsun's new death, he even did not specialize in the code. It's just that he has recently returned to the imperial court to hold a real position.

But for a long time, no one has dared to ignore the influence and strength of him, the emperor's brother. He is like a real hungry wolf. He does not show mountains or dew. He never makes a statement on the abolition. He is not close to the prince or the king of Wei, but he secretly approaches the young prince Li Zhi.

Just like in history, when the prince and the king of Wei fought both sides, Changsun Wuji strongly supported Li Zhi, resulting in the emergence of Tang Gaozong in history.

Qin Mubai is far away in Xiangyang, but his heart is still in Chang'an. Far away from the world, there is a sense of clearness for onlookers. For more than ten days, he has been thinking about this question every day when he is having a banquet: If it is really the same as in history, and finally Li Zhi will win the throne with the help of Changsun Wuji, a strange soldier, what will happen to Qin Mubai have?

Changsun Wuji is greedy for power, which is recognized by history, which is also the consensus of Jin Jintang. One of the biggest common reasons why he gave up Li Chengqian and Li Tai, two nephews who were the same to him, was that these two kids were too difficult to control for his eldest grandson Wuji.

Yes, for powerful ministers, a king who is not easy to control is obviously fatal.

Li Chengqian is absurd and unruly. Now that Li Shimin is alive, he still has some scruples. When Li Shimin returns to heaven, whose account will he buy? Changsun Wuji? Don't be kidding! Except for giving his uncle a week during the Spring Festival, he usually thinks he doesn't know him.

Not to mention Li Tai. Everyone in Chang'an knows that Li Tai only loves young talents and likes those "vulnerable groups" who hide under his wings to survive and please, which proves that Li Tai is very strong. He never flattered his uncle, and the two of them have always been very uncomfortable. If he finally ascends the throne, where can Changsun Wuji go?

This is a comparison. Changsun Wuji can only choose Li Zhi, who is young, weak and a little weak in personality. The icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow. Now Li Zhi is just a little prince raised in the deep palace, with no power and prestige. If his eldest grandson Wuji ascended the throne alone, he would be the only powerful minister! A powerful minister who is not the only one!

Changsun Wuji's abacus is very loud. Once he succeeds, it is definitely below one person and above ten thousand people. It's more moist than following Li Shimin now!

Qin Mubai, of course, doesn't want his satisfactory calculation to be completed. Isn't it secondary to the contradiction between him and the son of his eldest grandson Wuji? Most importantly, Changsun Wuji chose Li Zhi. It is clear that he wants to choose a "King of Shoucheng" who can continue and maintain the prestige of his chastity and prosperity. His eldest grandson Wuji is enough to be famous in history.

But what Qin Mubai wants is a "opening king"!

From the 21st century, he is not satisfied with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty at all!

The Tang Dynasty can be completely better. Why does it take the prosperity of Zhenguan as the end? As a credit for lying down and sleeping?

This is the biggest difference between the two! It can also be said that there is a complete divergence of political opinions, and even antagonism!

If Li Zhi succeeds in power with the help of Changsun Wuji, what's the use of him, Qin Mubai? Since there is no need to expand the territory, any general can protect the territory.

There is no need to guess that after the Lanzhou incident, Qin Mubai is now regarded as the biggest potential enemy in the mind of Changsun Wuji. At that time, the emperor stood in a row to support this weak boy to do such a few big things... Finally, the meritorious Li Jing was old, and now a young Li Jing appeared, which was enough to make his eldest grandson Wuji uneasy.

In terms of seniority and credit, only Fang Xuanling can keep pace with Changsun Wuji in the court; but Changsun Wuji still has another layer of status as a national relative, so Changsun Wuji is really not afraid of Fang Xuanling at all. As for Wei Zheng? He is old, and his eyes are almost blind, and he is not taken seriously by Changsun Wuji. If you keep going through this, Fang Xuanling, who has not been in good health and is older, may not be able to survive his eldest grandson Wuji.

Now there is Qin Mubai, who is only in his twenties, and the mood of Changsun Wuji can be imagined.

Far away from Xiangyang, Qin Mubai seemed to have smelled the beacon smoke ignited by Changsun Wuji. Although there is very little conversation between the two, the fight between them has been quietly opened.

There is also a big and small person. Qin Mubai wants to settle it before he officially fights with Changsun Wuji. That is - Li Yuanchang, the king of Han.

In the middle of the night, Qin Mubai quietly came to a hidden courtyard outside Xiangyang City and saw Su Lianqing and the Taitai sisters according to the prior agreement.

Seeing the three women again after half a month, Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a light in his eyes. Su Lianqing is really good at it. In just half a month, she made these two murderous and cold twin beauties, who are generous and graceful, sometimes small jasper, and sometimes talented and unrestrained. They can not only resist people thousands of miles away, but also be charming.

"Good! This is the best!" Qin Mubai smiled happily and said, "If you want to refuse to welcome him, you can be the best hooked!"

Su Lianqing, who pretends to be the mother of the two of them, is a little old-fashioned, but she is also Xu Niang's half-old charm. She laughed and said, "General Qin, it is rare to see you use our crooked evil way with your sword. Tell me, what on earth is in that boy's hand that makes you deal with him so painstakingly? As far as I know, even if he is the prince, he is really not your opponent in terms of strength.

"You don't have to ask so much." Qin Mubai said, "Actually, I don't know what he has in his hand. In short, it is a top secret and important thing. As long as you two sisters can successfully lurk to him, I don't care what means you use, be sure to bring it to me. Even if you can't get it, it will be destroyed. If you succeed, I will guarantee the three of you that you will be prosperous and your descendants for the rest of your life.

"Good!" The three women answered simply, "This gift, let alone picking up something, even if you ask us to kill him, there is no other way!"

"No, don't kill him." The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth hooked gently and smiled coldly, "What else can I play if you kill him?"

The three women were stunned at the same time. They wanted to laugh, but they couldn't. They rarely saw Qin Mubai show such an "evil" expression. So it seems that that guy really offended Qin Mubai. Because they have all learned the power of Qin Mubai, but they have never heard that he really hates and calculates who. But with his ability and scheming, if he really wants to do something bad, that man must be extremely miserable.

"When you are so ready, you will leave Xiangyang and go to Chang'an. I have a handwritten letter from Wu Mei Niang here. With it, you can directly find Wu Yuanqing or Wu Yuanshuang and enter the Qinxian Pavilion to make a living. Qin Mubai said, "With the recommendation letter from Wu Mei Niang, the big boss, Qin Xiange will definitely support you 'mother and daughter'. In a few hours, you will be popular all over Chang'an. At that time, the one will definitely come to disturb him. Next, I don't need to teach you anything.

"Great move, General Qin." Su Lianqing said with a smile, "I thought you wanted us to take the initiative to approach that man, but I didn't expect it to be such a roundabout way. Wonderful, it's really wonderful. This is really seamless. If that man deserves to die, let me take the initiative to come up.

"I will, for sure." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "If he doesn't come up, he won't be the biggest wine and sex person in Chang'an."

"Well, we'll start tomorrow."

"I'll leave tonight. Waterway, I have arranged a big boat in Baguidu. Go ahead, right now!"

"...You arranged it so carefully. Well, I'll leave!"

After a time of incense, Qin Mubai walked out of the small courtyard and lit a small lantern and hung it on the firewood door. After a while, an inconspicuous carriage drove slowly.

Qin Mubai's face was full of a blurred smile. He stepped forward and opened the curtain in person. Inside, a jade-like pink hand was stretched out, and he took the style to get off the horse.

"Mu Bai, you are really getting worse and worse." Wu Mei Niang's pink face and peach cheeks, Mei smiled, "It even broke me."

"What do you say?" Qin Mubai pretended to smile and gently took her into his arms. The driver drove the car into the courtyard and settled down.

Wu Mei Niang put her hands on her chest and steamed into the palm of her hand: "Go into the house. It's so cold!"

"Why, are you in such a hurry to enter the bridal chamber?" Qin Mubai laughed badly.

"Shut up, you apprentice, who wants to enter the bridal chamber with you?" Wu Mei Niang blushed in an hour, pushed her hands in front of Qin Mubai's chest, and skillfully broke free and trotted towards the candlelight swaying room.

"Do you still say no?" Qin Mubai grinned and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "It's been more than half a month. I finally got her drunk when Gao Yang was unprepared. I also put aside those water pump-like maids and secretly got you out of the city. If I don't cook rice with raw rice tonight, I will be sorry for the ancestors of the Qin family! ...No wonder men are greedy. This feeling of cheating is exciting!"
