Chapter 199: Apprentice Banquet

Li Shimin was revered as the Khan of Heaven, and everyone was celebrated together. Qin Hao was also busy. With the demise of the Eastern Turks, the Hexi Corridor was once again held in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. The Silk Road connecting Europe and Asia was finally reopened after more than five hundred years.

As the leader of public opinion and intelligence chief of the Tang Dynasty, which of the dozens of countries in the Western Regions must not send spies? There are so many tribes in Tiele, which one must not instigate two people first? The Western Turks have not been willing to fight within the past two years. Do they have to provoke them? Qin Hao is better, but Ma Zhou and Du He have been tired long ago.

However, no matter how busy he is, he has to hurry up while he is having fun, and that is the formal ceremony of taking in disciples with Wei Zheng.

Chinese people pay attention to rituals when doing anything. If something big happens to them, they must call all the old and young men in the village to testify. Otherwise, it won’t count, and taking disciples is no exception. Although the relationship between Wei Zheng and Qin Hao is well known, it is like the couple who received the certificate but did not hold the wedding. Although they are also a couple, they always feel that they are almost there.

On this day, Qin Hao got up early, washed his face and brushed his teeth under Xiaodie's service, and shaved his mouth. He didn't know if it was a beard or fluff. He was dressed handsomely, but he almost applied makeup.

Wearing a decent Shu Jinru scholar shirt, a Su Xiu flower, bird, landscape robe, a jade-inlaid crown, a tiger-headed sheepskin green cloud boots, a gold-jade belt tied around his waist, and an ivory carved table fan in his hand. Anyone who sees it has to secretly praise him, and he looks like a romantic talent and a cool scholar.

Qin Hao is now considered a rich man. Since it was a ceremony, he didn't mind making the show bigger. Although Wei Zheng's family was smaller, it was still fine to set up thirty or fifty tables. The dishes were made of bear's paws and abalone, and the wine was made of aged grapes in the Western Regions. Wei Zheng was poor, so these things were prepared by himself.

When I arrived at the Wei Mansion, I met my master and my wife. My master Pei smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. It was the first time I saw Qin Hao so pleasant, and I even gave Qin Hao a red envelope with a smile. Although it was only a good money, it was quite comfortable to touch the heavy one.

He was busy until noon, and the civil and military officials in the court were almost on the way. As a disciple, Qin Hao stood at the main entrance as a welcome guest. Of course, people who came to congratulate him today are naturally indispensable. He has always been poor and making trouble without anyone asking about it. He has a distant relative in the deep mountains. One of the master and apprentice is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is the right-hand man of the crown prince. He is the most handsome man of the Tang Dynasty. If he has a little connection, who doesn’t want to be familiar with him?

But in fact, most of these people are not even familiar with each other. Whether they are poor relatives who are not close to each other or small officials who have never spoken much, in fact, they may not even be able to see Wei Zheng's face. When they enter the door, they are also treated by the housekeeper. Being able to say a word to Wei Shuyu is considered luck.

Qin Hao was waiting for the court to get off work at the main entrance. Those who could walk through the main entrance were all big shots. Today, when we welcomed the door, we would say a few words to each other, and we would have decided on the relationship between elders and younger generations.

In a short while, the nobles who didn't go to court arrived first. The first one to greet was Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong undoubtedly had a good impression of Qin Hao. Although his health was no longer good, he still patted his shoulder with his thick big hands, and insisted on asking Qin Hao to go to their house to see the genealogy, saying that the two of them could still get a little kinship.

What is more amusing is that the gift Qin Qiong gave was actually a pair of golden maces. It was not the pair given to him by Li Shimin, but he made it as it was based on the style. Nowadays, all the people of the Tang Dynasty and even the grassroots soldiers thought that Qin Qiong was using double maces, so this was naturally Qin Hao's pot. Giving a pair of golden maces to Qin Hao was also considered a good relationship. Qin Qiong was in poor health. In the future, Qin Hao had to take care of his descendants for this pair of maces.

Qin Hao is more familiar with those in the civil service system, and these improper nobles are not very familiar with them. So Qin Qiong introduced them one by one. Zhang Liang is a tall and fat man, Duan Zhixuan is a literati-like white-faced person. Although Hou Junji is of high status and powerful position, he is very polite to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao has never had much contact with these big guys, and they are not very familiar with Wei Zheng. The gifts they give are not very special. Even if they are just average, they are quite valuable.

The princes immediately followed the royal relatives. Led by Li Shentong, the highest-ranking princes, all touched Qin Hao's head, as if touching him would make him grow up.

Li Shentong laughed loudly. The more he looked at Qin Hao, the more satisfied he felt. Not to mention how much money Qin Hao had earned in Luoyang, he also looked at the relationship between Qin Hao and his son. The real power parties among royal relatives had undoubtedly good impressions of Qin Hao, such as Li Daozong and Chai Shao. If it weren't for Qin Hao this time, Chai Shao would have made a complete soy sauce when he went to war, so the gifts he gave were also valuable.

Even the idle princes were a little enthusiastic about Qin Hao, and the tall Qin Hao was awkward. You should know that Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong were not short of money at the level, while those Li family princes who were eating and waiting to die to raise fattening pigs were really lacking. They all know how much Qin Hao made to Li Shentong, and who wouldn't want to take this ride?

Qin Hao looked left and then, and couldn't help but feel disappointed among the princes. He felt a little disappointed. Li Shentong seemed to know what Qin Hao was thinking, and patted Qin Hao's head and whispered: "Good boy, don't worry, your business is the matter of my Huaian Prince's Mansion. I will never ignore it. Now that we are in peace today, let's see how I will help you achieve good things."

Qin Hao was very happy, so he hurriedly thanked him. Li Xiaogong also called him uncle. With his help, he would have to be of some effect. With this joy, Qin Hao looked at the red jade coral sent by Li Shentong so much liked him.

Immediately after the princes, Li Jing and Li Ji came together. Qin Hao hurried forward to greet him. The words given by Li Jing were actually Wang Xizhi. Then Li Jing said, "I think you can write books like Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I think you understand military affairs. I intend to sort out my lifelong experience in using military affairs and write them into military books. If you are interested, you can come to me to study. The future of my Tang Dynasty will depend on you young people in the future."

When Qin Hao heard this, even if the hanging heart was over, it seemed that Li Jing was very clear about his intentions and obviously appreciated it. Who said that Li Jing was a political idiot? He was an old man who always stood in the wrong team but ended up having a good end. How could he not understand?
