When Qin Mubai entered the imperial study to meet the driver, he heard the sporadic sound of the pipa, and Li Shimin was actually playing with it.
"Mu Bai, you came just in time." Li Shimin waved to him with a pleasant smile, "Come here, give me some pointers. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure it out. What is the secret of playing the pipa with fingers?
"
"This... I don't dare." Qin Mubai bowed his hands and did not move.
"It's okay, come and sit next to me." Li Shimin ordered the eunuch to bring it to sit in the group, and then placed a seat on the emperor's throne.
It is a great honor and favor to allow ministers to ascend the imperial staircase with the emperor. Any minister who meets the emperor can only look at the imperial staircase and is not allowed to look directly at the emperor to show awe. Hence the term "Your Majesty".
.
Qin Mubai hesitated for a moment, then walked up to the Royal Majesty and sat down. Li Shimin handed him the pipa and said with a smile: "Relax a little. We are not discussing matters in the Jinluan Palace now, and there are no other people. My usual approach is to serve the emperor and his subjects in the palace.
, Your Highness is a relative. I invite you here today just to give you some advice on pipa skills."
"How dare I give you some advice, Your Majesty?" Qin Mubai bowed his hands and bowed.
"There is no age in learning, and those who are capable come first!" Li Shimin said with a smile, "Actually, this is the case with everything in the world. No one dares to say that he is good at everything. No matter how great the sages throughout the ages are, they are never
Almighty. For example, most of the sages are men. No matter how sages they are, if they want to continue their relationship and have children, do they still have to rely on women?"
"Haha, what your Majesty said is absolutely true." The emperor deliberately created a relaxed atmosphere, so Qin Mubai laughed. He thought to himself: The emperor definitely didn't ask me to teach some pipa. What he said just now was
Hidden secrets——Does that mean that you are advising me that as a leader, you must closely unite your subordinates and give full play to the strengths and specialties of each subordinate?
"Well, you'd better play me a piece of lute first. I said goodbye to the Qin Mansion that day, and I really miss your pipa music! Although Tai Leling learned the art from your teacher, the music he played was still
I can't compare with you." Li Shimin said with a relaxed smile, "I rarely have free time today, but I really want to listen to this wonderful pipa song."
"Your Majesty has an order, and I should obey it." Qin Mubai took the pipa and played with the strings, and said, "That day, Your Majesty listened to "The Overlord Disarms," and today I will play you a song ""
How about House of Flying Daggers?"
"Okay!" Li Shimin nodded, "The Overlord disarms bravely and tragically. House of Flying Daggers should refer to the scene when Han Xin laid out a plan to defeat Xiang Yu in Wujiang, right?"
"That's right. In comparison, "House of Flying Daggers" is more impassioned and high-spirited. It is a song of victory." After Qin Mubai finished speaking, he immediately started playing.
An impassioned pipa martial arts song burst out, and Li Shimin listened to it like crazy. When the music ended, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! Wonderful! It's really the sound of nature, and it goes around the beams."
Three days without stopping!"
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. Some trivial skills are not enough to reach the level of elegance. I am ashamed of myself."
"Well... Mu Bai, you are versatile in both civil and military skills. You are a rare talent." Li Shimin smiled and nodded, and said meaningfully, "Let's just say that this pipa, although it is a low-level skill, can still reveal a person's character and talent.
.You are very smart and have excellent understanding, and you must be proficient in what you learn. I have also seen your calligraphy. Each stroke of regular script is self-contained and has everyone's style. It can be seen that you are a passionate and motivated person who is good at creating and studying.
Having such qualities when you are young will lay an excellent foundation for success."
"The humble minister has little virtue and talent, and there are too many things to learn." Qin Mubai knew that the emperor was about to enter a formal topic, so he followed his words, "As far as commanding the army is concerned, the humble minister has nothing."
As you know, you are always walking on thin ice for fear of making a mistake.”
"Haha, do you think I'm here to reprimand you when I announce your arrival?" Li Shimin smiled, stopped making excuses, and said directly, "You did nothing wrong regarding Yuchi Baoyun. Change it.
