Chapter 781: True Nepotism

Wang Ping'an got the old nun's assurance, and said a few good words, and then saluted and said goodbye. Coming and going secretly did not alarm the other nuns in the temple.

The old nun sent Wang Ping'an away, closed the courtyard door, walked to the table, opened the cloth bags one by one, reached out and grabbed a handful of yellow copper coins, and said with a smile: "I really didn't take these things seriously before, but now once I am helpless, I find that these so-called dirty things are so likable!" ”

She shouted to the other quiet room: "Sisters, the little doctor of peace has sent dividends, everyone come out to take a look, let's divide it!" ”

The concubines and nuns came out of the house one after another, and when they saw these many copper coins, their eyes lit up and they sighed.

At that time, although they also knew the importance of money, they didn't take it to heart, and they only felt that the world's first major event was to please the emperor.

But once the old emperor died, they were sent out of the palace to become nuns, helpless, and lived a hard life, only then did they feel that it was better to have money, and only with money could they live a happy life. Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of eating and drinking, I can do the master!

Just like an old eunuch who has no children and no daughters, these concubines and nuns are also very fond of money, far more than ordinary people.

The old nun repeated what she had just said to Wang Ping'an to the concubines and nuns. The concubines and nuns shook their heads one by one, none of them were stupid, people from Gongdou never minded thinking about the worst.

Some concubines and nuns said: "That little god of peace is a good means of healing, he can get the people in the palace out, and he even got them into the temple to be nuns." If it weren't for him, it is estimated that the talented person named Wu Meiniang would be like us now, eating here and waiting for death! ”

The old nun sighed and said, "She only left the palace one step ahead of schedule, so she is different from us, there must be no her name on the book, she can be a new person, maybe she can enter the palace again!" ”

"Isn't she going to serve two generations, father and son?" Some concubines and nuns said.

The old nun hurriedly sighed and said, "What will happen to her, it has nothing to do with us. The important thing is whether we will have a comfortable life in the future. We have reached this point, everything should be seen, thinking that others are useless, or caring for ourselves is the most important thing! ”

The concubines and nuns nodded together, the old nun's words were very reasonable, they no longer had any qualifications to fight for it, it was better to care about themselves if they cared about others, they could live well, that was really good.

The old nun said again: "Sisters, pay attention in the future, if someone comes to ask, let's give a testimony to that Wu Meiniang, so that she can enter the palace smoothly." Old sister, I guess she won't have any big deals, the emperor likes her, but it's just because it's fresh, the more you can't get it, the more you want to get it, and after a while, you will snub her. Our favor was sold to that little doctor of peace, and we will count on him to send us money in the future! ”

The concubines and nuns nodded together, and they all said that it was reasonable. If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are not at home, if you don't know how to live a hard life, if you can live a better life, who wants to be bitter!

Wang Ping'an left the Ganye Temple, and then returned to Chang'an, and then hurried slowly, he must return to the Guogong Mansion before dawn, take a rest, because tomorrow is the court meeting, a half a day, in case you fall asleep at the court meeting, it will be a big mess!

In the second half of the night, he entered the city again and returned to the Guogong Mansion, where he immediately went to bed to recuperate.

There was no gossip in the second half of the night, and before dawn the next day, Wang Ping'an got up, and after freshening up, he drank a bowl of ginseng soup for the first time to replenish his strength, and then changed into court clothes, rushed to Chengtianmen, and waited to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, the sky was about to be dark, and many courtiers had already gathered outside the palace, waiting for the court. When the ministers saw that the king had arrived safely, they all stepped forward to speak, and they were close to him.

Wang Ping'an coped for a while, and when he saw that there was no eldest grandson Wuji and others in the crowd, he wondered in his heart, eldest grandson Wuji had always been the most interested in the last dynasty, why did he come late today?

When I was wondering when I was a child, a minister came over and greeted: "Wang Xiang, look at the circles under your eyes that are a little blue, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

When Wang Ping'an heard the sound, he saw that it was a minister in his fifties and almost sixty, wearing a four-grade official uniform and a goldfish bag around his waist. This person has never seen it before, but looking at this person's dress, he guessed that it should be a special minister, the official rank is not high, but he has a high title.

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Yes, I have been busy these days and I haven't slept well." We've been missing for some days, and you've always been okay at home? ”

The old minister was very knowledgeable, and when he looked at his words and looks, he knew that Wang Ping'an didn't know who he was, and he was waiting for himself to introduce himself first. He nodded and said, "Fortunately, greetings from the king, everything is going well in the old man's family, but Mrs. can't often see the queen, so I miss it very much." Today, I also told the old man that I wanted to go to the palace to visit the queen and talk about the relationship between mother and daughter. ”

Wang Ping'an sighed softly, it turned out to be the emperor's father-in-law, Wang Renyou! I heard that this Wang Renyou was born in the Wang family of Qi County, and he is a wealthy family of the first-class scholar family in the Tang Dynasty, with deep roots and huge power, but they have not seen each other before.

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "Lord Wang, my face has not been in Chang'an for a while, I always come and go in a hurry, and I haven't gone to the house to visit you, don't be surprised!" ”

Wang Renyou is very graceful, although he is old, he can be very well maintained, especially the beard is beautifully trimmed, and he looks like a beautiful man. He stroked his long beard and said: "The king is polite, the old man has been doing assassination history in Chenzhou, but he was recalled to Chang'an after the emperor ascended the throne, and now he is just a loose official, and he has not yet been granted, and he is still waiting for news!" ”

Wang Ping'an nodded, and said with great concern: "Lord Wang is the ruler of the country, isn't it simple to teach it, if you are interested, why don't you come to my province?" ”

Wang Renyou hurriedly said: "Thank you to Prime Minister Wang, it's just that the old man is only interested in water conservancy and other things, and he is not good at auditing current affairs, so it is not appropriate to go to Menxia Province." ”

He didn't speak too much, even if he refused, he said it very directly, but his expression was sincere, and there was no sense of losing face at all.

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "If Boss Wang wants to go to which, as long as you say hello to Benxiang in advance, Benxiang will go to Shangshu Province to talk about you and ensure that you are satisfied." It's just that Boss Wang is the ruler of the country, and I'm afraid I don't need anything about it. ”

Wang Renyou hurriedly said: "Wang Xiang said that he laughed, the old man has a lot of places to use you, and there is something recently, I want to bother Wang Xiang." He looked around, lowered his voice, and said: "It's not convenient to talk here, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the old man asks the king to come over to the house, can the king take time?" My wife cooks a good dish, and she often chatters, I want to invite Wang Xiang, Wang Xiang has to give face! ”

"Ouch, look at what you said, this isn't a slap in the face! Mr. Wang and his wife enjoyed the meal, and the little nephew could not rush over. That's it, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the little nephew will go with you. Wang Ping'an immediately changed his name, and changed his name from his own appearance to his little nephew.

But he said sweetly, but his heart was trembling, this is something to ask me, if it is good, it must be related to the harem. The emperor's father-in-law invited a treat, and the mother-in-law cooked herself, it is estimated that the matter is not trivial, I just hope that it will not be related to Wu Meiniang!

After the two finished speaking, the Chengtian Gate also opened, and the ministers rushed in. Wang Ping'an lagged behind everyone and walked relatively slowly, and suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, and when he looked back, it was the eldest grandson Wuji and them.

The prime ministers had just arrived at the right time, and as soon as they got off the carriage, the palace gate opened, and when they came over, the other ministers had already gone inside, and they had no time to greet them.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly turned around, and after greeting each other, he said, "Uncle, uncles, why are you late today?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "It's too late, isn't this just right." ”

Ma Zhou said: "What's the good of coming early, you can't be surrounded by a group of people and ask questions." ”

And Chu Suiliang said: "Today we want to discuss the affairs of Yingzhou, the emperor will send troops, this is a big fat difference, countless people are staring at it, if we arrive first, we must not be smoked to death by sycophants." It's hard to refuse anyone who asks us to do something, so let's just come late, so as not to listen to their verbosity. ”

Wang Ping'an laughed dryly twice and glanced at Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou happened to be staring at him as well, and when he saw him coming over, he said, "You recommended Xue Rengui as a deputy general, how many gifts did you receive from him?" I really didn't expect that Xue Rengui has always been upright, but he has also learned to follow the doorway, and he still takes your doorway. ”

Wang Ping put on a surprised expression and said, "Is it to receive gifts when you go to the door?" Ah, this is for him to pick up a bargain, I don't know the rules, he came to my door, empty-handed, I didn't even ask for it. Lost, lost, next time you have to collect the money first, and then do things! ”

The prime ministers laughed, entered the main hall of the palace together, stood according to their ranks, and waited for the emperor to arrive.

Wang Ping'an stood in the third place in the first row, the first was the eldest grandson Wuji, and the second was Ma Zhou, he was the third, and he was in front of Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang.

He looked back and saw that the emperor's old man was almost standing outside the main hall. Although Wang Renyou is the national ruler and has the title of Duke of Wei, his rank is low, even if he is the emperor's father-in-law, he can't stand forward, far away from Wang Ping'an!

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The emperor is coming soon, don't look around, you look like a prime minister." ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly claimed that he was, and he didn't dare to look back again, and stood up in an orderly manner.

After a long time, Shi Zhongchen came out and shouted in a long voice: "Go to the court!" After shouting and stepping aside, Li Zhi slowly walked up the steps and sat down on the dragon chair.

The ministers fell to their knees together, and the mountains shouted long live.

Li Zhixuan raised his arm and said, "All Aiqing are exempt from courtesy, so let's do something!" The tone of his voice was quite tired, and he seemed to feel a little exhausted when he heard the voice.

Wang Ping'an and the ministers got up, he looked up at Li Zhi, and saw that Li Zhi actually had two big panda eyes, it was obvious that he hadn't slept well, maybe he was thinking about Wu Meiniang.

The eldest grandson Wuji also saw Li Zhi's appearance, his brows furrowed, and he thought: "Whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, the new monarch ascends the throne, all of them are diligent, even if they are pretending, they have to pretend to be a year and a half." But Zhi'er is good, he doesn't even want to pretend, and the word diligence has nothing to do with him! ”

Thinking about it, there is something to say, the eldest grandson Wuji was the first to leave the court and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the rebellion against Li Ke, the three provinces have already reached a conclusion, and the charter has been drafted, please take a look at it." He took out the Taoist chapter from his sleeve and held it high, Shi Zhongchen went down the steps, took the chapter, and put it in front of Li Zhi's table.

Li Zhi opened the chapter, glanced at it a few times, and said, "What, do you want to change Li Ke's surname, surnamed Xiao?" This one...... It doesn't seem necessary, right? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Li Ke rebelled, can no longer be regarded as a member of the royal family, this kind of disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial person, can no longer have the surname of the country, so it is more appropriate to change the surname, he and his descendants, are not allowed to enter the ancestral ancestral hall again, enjoy the worship of future generations." ”

Li Zhi looked at the ministers and asked, "What do you Aiqing think?" No disease, you say? This is his habitual inquiry, he has long been accustomed to asking Wang Ping'an about everything, so now he naturally said it casually.

At this moment, the distance between relatives can be regarded as undoubtedly revealed, and the ministers sighed in their hearts, Wang Ping'an, a little guy, is so favored that it is simply unreasonable. I heard that he ignores government affairs, runs around all day long, and is nowhere to be found, what other ideas can such a person come up with? If the expectation is good, he must have seconded the proposal and agreed with the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji!

The eldest grandson Wuji also thought to himself: "This child without disease was cultivated by me, and he must follow my words." ”

Wang Ping'an was busy out of the court, and he cooperated with everyone's ideas, and did not disappoint the eldest grandson Wuji at all, and said: "The minister thinks that the eldest grandson's suggestion is very reasonable, and the minister seconded it!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was very proud, how about it, I'll just say, Wang Ping'an is the best at being a man, how can he oppose me!

The other ministers pouted together, thinking: "No wonder the eldest grandson Lao'er supports Wang Ping'an, and Wang Ping'an listens to him for everything, doesn't this mean that the Menxia Province has been merged into Shangshu Province, what does the eldest grandson Lao'er want to do, to be a powerful minister?" ”

Li Zhi sighed, and looked down at the chapter again, and after reading it again, he felt a headache, there were too many things written in the chapter, and he was really not interested in letting him think about them one by one. Besides, why does he think about everything, if he is in charge of everything, then what is such a large group of ministers doing?

He raised his head and said, "Why isn't it written on this who is the commander?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately said: "The old minister thinks that it is most appropriate to send General Li Ji and Li to go. As for the adjutant general, General Xue Rengui can be sent. ”

This court meeting is mainly about this matter, and other trivial things are easy to say, except for who leads the army. Whoever leads the army as the main general, then the general will pick the generals from the Weifu where he usually serves, so to determine the name of a chief general is equivalent to the name of a group of generals, and this expedition to Yingzhou is a steady victory, maybe it can take advantage of the situation to enter Goguryeo, this kind of big fat difference, the competition is naturally fierce, so it is necessary to discuss it now.

Who knows, what about such an important matter, Li Zhi actually said: "No disease, what do you say?" ”

With a sizzle, the hall was full of gasps, and even the eldest grandson Wuji wondered, when did the emperor become so convinced of Wang Ping'an, why did he ask him everything!
