"Haha, Uncle Bao! I'm not wrong, your Sanlang is indeed a rare talent!" Li Shimin said with a smile, "He can brew fairy wine, play good music, and write such good calligraphy.
Being versatile is rare!”
Qin Shubao was also surprised and delighted. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are so flattering. A dog can't be good at literature and martial arts. It's hard for him to get into the palace with some rudimentary tricks. How can he be talented?"
"Don't be too modest." Li Shimin asked the attendant to carefully collect the music score, looked at Qin Mubai with a smile, and said, "Qin Sanlang, you are outstanding with your unique skills, and you are also a general after a famous official. Have you ever thought about it?
To survive the consequences in the future?”
"In reply to Your Majesty, I have been ordered to go home to serve my sick father, so I won't do anything about it for the time being." Qin Mubai replied.
"The traitor is stupid!" Qin Shubao scolded him sternly, "A man has ambitions in all directions. My father has not passed away and I don't need you to keep filial piety. There are many servants in the house, so why do you need to serve him?"
"What father teaches is that children know their mistakes." Qin Mubai accepted it with his hand, but secretly laughed in his heart: It's interesting. I tried to play hard to get, but my father beat the snake and put a stick on it to help sing the chorus. The father and son even performed a double act in front of the emperor.
"Haha, filial piety comes first, so Qin Sanlang is not wrong!" Li Shimin smiled, nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Originally, when I saw that you had a skill, I wanted you to enter the Taile Department of Taichang Temple.
It is not appropriate to serve as a palace musician, but when I think about it, you are born as a general and have a transcendent status. How can you become an opera actor? Moreover, if I arrange other official positions for you, you must also go to the palace yamen from time to time to handle errands. I am afraid it will be a problem.
It affects your ability to serve your father. Therefore, although I intend to promote you, I am still in a bit of a dilemma. Why don't you tell me what job you want?"
Blank check?----Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a little excited, and it was a signed blank check issued by the emperor, with the amount filled in by himself!
Qin Shubao was silent on the sidelines. It was obviously hard for him to express any opinions at this time, otherwise it would look a bit artificial and overdone. He could only wait and see what happened and let his son deal with it on his own.
Qin Mubai thought in his heart: Today's actors and actresses are not as popular as the film and television stars of the 21st century. They are the lowest and lowest class of people, and they cannot even be ranked among the four major classes of "officials, farmers, industry and commerce"; besides, since the Tang Dynasty,
Li Shimin really thought carefully about governing the country with benevolence and filial piety. Now that he has written a blank check, what grade should I ask for and what kind of official position is reasonable?... I am distressed. I am not familiar with the official system of the Tang Dynasty.
So familiar!
Just as Qin Mubai was having some embarrassing thoughts, Li Ke, who had been listening silently, seemed to see his difficulty. He stood up and bowed his hands and said, "Father, I have something to say."
"speak."
"Thank you, Father." Li Ke said, "There happens to be a vacancy in Erchen's house. The seventh-grade Dongge sacrificial wine should be suitable for Qin Mubai. The Dongge wine ceremony is not busy, and the Erchen's house is far away from Qin Mubai."
The mansion is not far away, Qin Mubai can still go back to serve Duke Yi after midnight every day. Moreover, it is not convenient for his father to study with his master, but it is not a problem for his sons and ministers. If Qin Mubai goes to serve as an official in his mansion, his sons and ministers will
You can learn winemaking, folk art and calligraphy from him, and you can also compete with him in martial arts and archery and listen to Duke Meng Yi's instructions. This is better than letting your son idle around all day long. Please give me your permission!"
"Hmm? Ke'er's suggestion is quite good." Li Shimin thought for a moment and nodded, "It's just that the Dongge sacrificial wine is from the seventh grade. The official position is low and the salary is scarce. I wonder what you, father and son, think about it?"
"Quizi has no talent, no morals, and no achievements. He was just a soldier in the army. Wei Chen thinks that even giving him an official position from the ninth rank to the next is too flattering and will make Wei Chen feel ashamed and uneasy." Qin Shubao bowed his hands and bowed solemnly.
, "Moreover, I am worried that the dog's stubbornness and incompetence will make him qualified for the post of offering wine in the East Pavilion of Prince Wu's Mansion? Your Majesty and the King of Wu should think again."
"Uncle Bao, you are just too modest." Li Shimin smiled indifferently, turned around and said, "Qin Sanlang, have you ever been willing?"
"Your Majesty has decreed the grace of the King of Wu, and the villain will deeply appreciate it. The villain"
