Chapter 372 Enmity

When Qin Mubai came home, it was noon when he was about to have dinner at home. When I entered the door, the house was very lively, and a lot of people came.

Princess Wu Mei Niang and Princess Gao Yang came and were chatting with Qin's mother and Shuang'er in the room. Now, Wu Mei Niang is often inseparable from Princess Gaoyang. In the words of Princess Gaoyang, "We are bed-sharing sisters" - compared with the "table-sharing table" when men drink and banquets, she came up with a new term for bed-sharing, and even Qin Mubai had to praise her for her talent.

In addition to the two daughters-in-law of the Qin family, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, came, and there was also a guest who rarely came to the door, Su Dingfang.

Two men staggered on the horse court in the backyard, talking about martial arts and military tactics and current affairs, and waited for Qin Mubai to come home. Depending on the situation, there are some things.

Qin Mubai took a photo in the front hall, Princess Gaoyang and others, and then arrived at the horse court in the backyard. Li Daozong and Su Dingfang really chatted passionately. When they saw Qin Mubai coming, they smiled from afar.

"You two, what's the matter laughing so happily?" Qin Mubai came over and asked.

"Of course, there is something ridiculous, that's why I laughed like this." Li Daozong gently picked the corners of his mouth and said playfully, "My daughter is going to throw it to the frontier like bait. Whether the Tubo people want it or not, they treat her as if she is a addition. Can't such things be funny?"

Qin Mubai arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't think too much. Since Your Majesty appointed you as a gift for marriage, it may be because you will be unhappy in your heart.

"What did you say?" Li Daozong was stunned and said, "Your Majesty asked me to be a wedding envoy? Why don't I know?"

"Oh?" Qin Mubai was stunned, "No one has told you yet?"

Li Daozong shook his head, looked at Qin Mubai thoughtfully and said, "You were not at home this afternoon. Are you going to see the driver?"

"Hmm." Qin Mubai nodded and admitted.

Li Daozong frowned gently and said, "What else did Your Majesty say?"

"Nothing, just talk to me about some personal matters." Qin Mubai said, "He appointed you as a gift, so he handed over the initiative of marriage to you. From this point of view, the emperor also considered your face. In addition, more importantly, I feel that the emperor is not very enthusiastic about the marriage. Otherwise, he can ask Changsun Wuji to appoint an official of Hongyu Temple, but why do he want to let Princess Wencheng's biological father be the wedding envoy? He clearly knows that you are against marriage.

"Yes, there is an article in it." Li Daozong frowned and said, "It can be seen that His Majesty is also under the pressure of public opinion in the court that he has to take a compromise plan. At this time, he specially appointed me as the wedding envoy, which was intended to let our main war faction take more initiative in dealing with the issue of Tubo. All right! No matter how powerful the eldest grandson Wuji is in the court, he can't dominate us outside generals. It is the decision-making power of whether to make peace and whether to give marriage or not, and it is more in our hands. Of course, as long as we don't do too much to embarrass the emperor.

"There is one more thing. It turns out that my father has been in the army for a long time." Qin Mubai sighed and said, "When the prince and Li Maogong discussed earlier, he said that he was as fierce as fire. If he resisted the order in anger, it would be very unfavorable to us. I didn't think that such a thing still happened. It seems that my letter is either late or doesn't work at all.

"Oh?" Li Daozong and Su Dingfang looked at each other in surprise and asked, "What did Your Majesty say?"

"The emperor naturally knows that if such news is put in the court, especially when we can't fight with the two factions, it will definitely cause a drastic change. Therefore, he suppressed the news, and even Changsun Wuji didn't know it. Qin Mubai said, "Here, I have to mention the character Chu Suiliang. On the surface, he and Changsun Wuji are the same Zuo Fuyoubi, the king of Jin, the prince of the country, but he and Changsun Wuji are really not the same. He is just the emperor's confidant. Other than that, he may not turn to anyone. The military newspaper was quietly detained and submitted to the emperor. Previously, when voting in Hongwen Hall, he also resolutely adopted a neutral attitude.

"Uh-huh..." Li Daozong nodded and said, "Changsun Wuji is too strong. In his eyes, everyone who stands in the same camp as him must succumb to him and does not sit on an equal footing. Look at his attitude towards Fang Xuanling, Chu Suiliang and others, as if he were their leader. People who are officials in the dynasty, especially Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other great Confucian sages, who is not arrogant? Changsun Wuji often puts on such a high posture in front of them, which is also reasonable to vaguely provoke their disgust. This time, Fang Xuanling unexpectedly joined our main battle faction. Wei Zheng changed his position for the first time in his life. I have to say that it has a lot to do with Changsun Wuji's behavior.

"Maybe!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "In terms of talent and morality, Changsun Wuji is not superior to Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, but in terms of seniority background, this is Changsun Wuji's greatest advantage. Of course, he relies most on the emperor's trust in him. People's desires are always expanding. In the year or two after the death of the Empress Changsun, because of the queen's last words, Changsun Wuji said that his relatives could not interfere in politics or the family disaster would not be far away, so he closed the door for a long time to concentrate on the code. In the past two years, the emperor and Changsun Wuji seem to have forgotten the last words of Empress Changsun, so Changsun Wuji finally rose up again and was reused, and gradually entered the main cabinet to lead hundreds of officials. Well, we have seen it this time! Changsun Wuji waved his arm, and more than 80% of the court officials above the third grade were as cicadas, and even the king of Wei did not dare to make up. If we still stay in Chang'an to fight with him, we will die. As soon as possible, all obediently go to the frontier to find the bad luck of the Tubo people! In that place, at least life and death are up to you. Even if you die in battle, you have to be vigorous, which is far better than the cold gun and hidden arrows of your own people in the court.

"Well said." Li Daozong nodded with a smile, raised his finger to Su Dingfang and said, "Then you should know, what is your brother here for?"

Qin Mubai looked at Su Dingfang and said with a smile, "Do you also want to go to Lanzhou?"

"I guessed right." Su Dingfang arched his hand and smiled and said, "Su has been in the prison guard for several years. Sooner or later, he is a good gatekeeper. This time, Mu Bai's return to Lanzhou will definitely have a military rise, just in time to employ people. Su is not talented, and he is willing to work for Mu Bai!"

"Brother's words are heavy!" Qin Mubai said in a hurry and surprised, "In terms of using troops, I will definitely be far from you. With the help of his brother, Lanzhou is really like a tiger with wings! - I just don't know whether his teacher agrees or not?

"I didn't ask." Su Dingfang smiled and said, "My teacher doesn't care about the situation in the court now. I'm going to Lanzhou, and he doesn't want to interfere. Instead of this, it's better not to embarrass him. When the matter is settled, I'll tell him again.

Li Daozong laughed and said, "This is interesting. One of the three students of Duke Wei was nestled in Lanzhou. Hou Junji, Su Dingfang, Qin Mubai, what will it be like for the three of you to fight together? I'm really curious, haha!"

Qin Mubai also smiled and said, "Although Hou Junji is the brother of the two of us, there is little contact. This time, he was demoted to Liangzhou due to the reckless disaster. He must have been full of anger. When I returned to Lanzhou this time, I had to persuade him to help me. In addition, Ding Fang is going to Lanzhou. Of course, I, Qin Mubai, raise my hands in favor of it, but the Ministry of War has the final say whether to go or not!"

"Just kidding, the minister of the Ministry of War is Li Wei. He dares not agree with me and demolished his broken house! Fang Xuanling is responsible for the transfer of troops in Lanzhou this time. He is much easier to talk than Changsun Wuji. As long as it doesn't violate the principles of the court, it's basically no problem. Li Daozong laughed and said, "Su Dingfang must go to Lanzhou. In this way, Lanzhou has your Qin family father and son, I, Hou Junji, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanche brothers and Qi He Li, plus your tiger generals Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai, that place is an important stronghold of our military. Mu Bai, everyone still takes you as the core! You have to fight for it. You have to lead our group of people to make great achievements!"

The three of them laughed loudly, so happy!

Qin Mubai said, "Changsun Wuji refuses to go to war with Tubo, and he also doesn't want to let us lead the army outside. Those of us who lead the army have the confidence when we have military power. Who is afraid of his eldest grandson Wuji? Moreover, if he gains military achievements, he will also stand on the court, which will also pose a great threat to his status. It can be imagined that Changsun Wuji's heart is like a depression of bitter water, but there is nowhere to tell. He can only watch us swagger to Lanzhou.

"However, the roots of the army and generals are still above the court after all. If we have to, we'd better not have an open conflict with Changsun Wuji. Li Daozong said, "There is no good result in insulting him in public like Yu Chi Jingde. I heard that the emperor called Yu Chi Jingde and scolded him after the meeting yesterday. Then late last night, Yu Chi Jingde opened the gate of Chang'an and ran back to his station. Yuchi Jingde is like a fire and has always been at peace with Changsun Wuji. This time, the hatred between the two is big. If he doesn't restrain in the future, sooner or later he will say Changsun Wuji. Yu Chi Jingde is a reckless man. If he wants to play with power, how can he be the opponent of Changsun Wuji?

"Yes! Then let's all learn from it! Just don't provoke Changsun Wuji if you have nothing to do. Qin Mubai said, "Other than that, if he makes an article for us and wears small shoes on the grain and salary, it will be enough for us. Anyway, this time I go back to Lanzhou, I don't know how much money the court will allocate to me? Or should I go back to Lanzhou alone and rely on Lanzhou's inherent soldiers to be self-reliable?

"I don't know." Li Daozong shook his head and said, "This account is in the mind of Fang Xuanling, who is the mastermind of the military and state affairs and is responsible for the transfer of troops to Lanzhou. To ask, go and ask him."

Qin Mubai was stunned, smiled bitterly twice, and said, "It seems that I have to visit this room Xuanling... I just don't know if I enter his house, will be torn apart by the famous female tiger in his family?"

Li Daozong laughed and said, "No one knows this. You can ask for more blessings!" Fang Xuanling is an open-minded person, which is well known in the world; but he has a jealous and fierce wife, which is also world-famous! A big prime minister of Fang Xuanling was actually afraid of the inside, hey hey... Qin Mubai, you smashed Fang's love into pieces with three or two punches. If you still dare to go to the door of Fang's house, I, Li Daozong, admire you!"

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "Mu Bai, the man dares to do it. If the wife wants to stop you from Fang Xuanling, she will admit it. However, according to my estimation, although Fang Xuanling is afraid of it, he will never allow his wife to mess around in front of big things. Go with peace of mind. It will be all right."

"Okay, then I'll go for a walk!" Qin Mubai gritted his teeth and said, "Besides, if you can go to Lanzhou with someone, you have to nod Fang Xuanling!"

At noon, Qin Mubai left Li Daozong and Su Dingfang to have lunch at home. After dinner, Qin Mubai inadvertently said that he was going to Fang Xuanling's house. The whole family was stunned and hurriedly said that Fang Qin's family had a revenge. How could they communicate with each other? Qin Mubai insisted on going, and his mother, sister and others could not persuade him.

Finally, Princess Gaoyang made a tragic decision and said that she must accompany Qin Mubai to the Fang family!

The people present are even more scared! Who doesn't know that Princess Gaoyang had a marriage contract with Fang Yuai before? This is also the first poisonous introduction of the two families. Princess Gaoyang has to follow her. Isn't it causing trouble?

Wu Mei Niang smiled and persuaded Qin's mother and Shuang'er to say, "You still need to tie the bell to untie the bell. Mu Bai is an official in the court, and Fang Xuanling is the central Zaifu. How can he not contact each other? If this hatred is kept brewing there, the hatred will be even more hatred in the long run. It's better to show a little mind to take the initiative to resolve this hatred. If it can be solved, of course, it is the best; even if it can't be solved, the situation will not be much worse than now. After all, the Fang family does not dare to touch Mu Bai and the princess.

Hearing what Wu Meiniang said was reasonable, Qin's mother, Shuang'er and others were unwilling to stop it.

Princess Gaoyang's eyes turned around, and she grabbed Wu Meiniang with a smile and said, "Mei Niang, you are so resourceful and talkative. Go with us!"

"What am I going to do?" Wu Mei Niang was stunned.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "There is an extremely famous jealous woman in the Fang family, who is Fang Xuanling's wife and Fang's beloved mother. If it weren't for a role like you, you wouldn't be able to control her. Sooner or later, I will be a big deal. Mei Niang, let's go together and help me!"

"Okay, I can rest assured that the three of you will go together!" Qin's mother hurriedly matched the way.

Wu Meiniang shook her head helplessly and smiled and said, "Since my aunt has an order, Mei Niang should obey her own life."

Li Daozong and Su Dingfang stood aside to watch the fun and said with a smile, "Look at this family, even the women are wise, intelligent, brave and resourceful people. Tut-tut, Qinmen is not popular, God doesn't allow it!"

"The prince seldom flatters. Qin had to laugh a few times in his heart, haha!" Qin Mubai laughed loudly and said to himself: It is said that there must be a good woman behind a successful man to support him - there is a group behind me. Can I not succeed?

"Prepare, let's go to Fang's house!"

"Wh, wait! First, send servants to the door of Fang's house to stare. We have to ask Fang Xuanling to go back to the house before we can go. Wu Mei Niang said, "Otherwise, if only his wife is at home, aren't we going to the fire?"

"It's still Mei Niang who is careful! OK, it's up to you!"

Fang Xuanling, who was sick for a while in the emperor's bedroom, moved out of the palace and lived in his own house after he appeared in the Hongwen Hall on that day. Although the emperor still invited him to stay in the palace for medical treatment, he also insisted on refusing.

At this time, there is still a spiritual case of the house relic on the main hall of the house, and the spiritual case of the owner has not been demolished. The mother Lu cried in front of the hall every day, staged the tragedy of white-haired people sending black-haired people. After Fang Xuanling returned home, she refused to ask her to demolish the spiritual case. Fang Xuanling was helpless, and she also had some indescribable sadness and sadness, so she was forced to do it.

Qin Mubai, Princess Gaoyang and Wu Mei Niang came by car, with the driver of the son-in-law and the princess, which seemed very formal and grand. The door of the Fang family was closed, and there was a sound of sadness and crying inside. Qin Mubai's heart trembled when he heard this.

"Why don't we come back another day?" Princess Gaoyang said with some trembling, "They are doing the funeral. I guess the house's love has not been buried yet... My God, I really don't know how they collected the body for the house. His head has been beaten into Mu Bai..."

"Oi, stop it." Qin Mubai waved his hand and said, "I know that Fang Yuai has been buried for many days. It is estimated that the spiritual position of the supply has not been dismantled, and the water and land dojo at home has not been stopped. I have limited time and can't wait. It's also a knife to stretch out your neck and shrink your neck. It's all here. There's no reason to look back - I'll call the door!"

Princess Gaoyang and Wu Mei Niang got out of the car and followed Qin Mubai. When the three arrived at the door, Qin Mubai patted the beast head ring on the door.

After a long time, someone came to open the door. A middle-aged male servant opened the door and looked at the three men and women with gorgeous clothes in front of him. He was surprised and asked, "Where did the three come from? What's the matter with my master?"

Qin Mubai politely arched his hand on the servant, which made him a little flattered. He said to him, "Your Excellency, please tell your wife, and say that Qin Mubai, the emperor's son-in-law, Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang and his wife, came specially to visit."

"Ah!!!" The servant was so scared that he couldn't help shouting. He forgot the respect and courtesy and pointed to Qin Mubai in a trembling voice, "You say... are Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang?"

"Exact" Qin Mubai said calmly, "Please inform me."

"Wait!"

With a "bang", the servant closed the door like a ghost and ran to the inner room quickly. Standing outside the door, he was also heard screaming all the way - "Master, madam, big deal, big deal!" Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang are here!"

Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang shook their heads with tears and laughter, while Princess Gaoyang stamped her feet anly: "How can it be! He treats us like a flood beast. This servant deserves to die. He is so rude!"

"Forget it. When people hear our names, they forget everything. After all, he is a subordinate. Don't pick on him. Qin Mubai said, "But this also illustrates a problem. At present, the Fang family may be very angry with us. It's better to talk about the change of the tiger's color.

"It doesn't matter." Wu Meiniang smiled calmly and said, "Killing is not just a nod. Since we take the initiative to come to the door to resolve our hatred and reach out without hitting the smiling face, if there is a reasonable person in the house, it will not embarrass us much, at least not today. What's more, Fang Xuanling is a modest gentleman who measures magnanimity. He is the head of the family and will be fine.

After hearing his words, Qin Mubai couldn't help smiling and said, "Mei Niang, you are not in the court, but you know more about the people in the court than I do. It's a pity that you don't enter the court as an official.

Wu Mei Niang smiled and said proudly, "You're right. I remember that my mother once told me that when I was a child, a famous teacher, Yuan Tiangang, showed me the appearance and said that if I was born as a man, it would be the order of the emperor. If I am an official, there will be nothing wrong with you men! Maybe... I can still be a queen!"
