Chapter 782: Li Zhi's Lonely Life

Li Zhi asked Wang Ping'an about everything, but it wasn't like this before, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, he had to listen to Wang Ping'an's opinion on everything, but because last night, he had been thinking about Wu Meiniang's affairs, so he couldn't sleep all night, and this matter could only be done by Wang Ping'an, he thought that Wang Ping'an thought too much, so he naturally asked Wang Ping'an at the court meeting, not deliberately showing favor.

Wang Ping'an grinned, and thought: "When the emperor asks me like this, it is estimated that other ministers will be red-eyed, and those who want to entrust me to run the official must have a long queue in front of my house, so it will be much more inconvenient for me to do anything in the future." The Emperor is really confused. ”

He didn't rush to answer, but tilted his head and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, but the eldest grandson Wuji didn't squint, ignored him, and let him make his own decision. Wang Ping'an had no choice but to say: "The minister thinks that the eldest grandson's suggestion is very reasonable, and the minister seconded it!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is even more proud, good boy, my old man didn't hurt you in vain!

And the ministers in the hall were all heaved in their hearts, this Wang Ping'an's answer was really concise, and it was exactly the same as the answer just now!

Li Zhi hummed and said, "Then let's do it, the three provinces will discuss various matters, and draw up a charter for me to use." Anything else? ”

The discussion of the big court meeting is naturally a big matter, and ordinary small things can be done normally, and there is no need to bring it up at this time. The ministers didn't have anything to play, they didn't squeak.

Li Zhi waited for a moment and said, "Since there is nothing to do, then retreat from the court, and come with me without illness!" With that, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and left.

The ministers hurried to shout long live again. After getting up, they looked at each other, I looked at you, and thought in their hearts, no, I thought that this time I would have to fight with my tongue, those generals had to break their heads in order to lead the troops to the battle, but the emperor didn't even give them a chance to talk and recommend themselves.

Not to mention that the generals recommended themselves, even Ma Zhou, the prime minister, didn't give him a chance to speak. The eldest grandson Wuji handed the chapter upward, and the emperor asked Wang Ping'an, and then dispersed!

The ministers shook their heads together, this great court meeting is too hasty, the current emperor deals with state affairs, compared with the previous emperor, it is really 108,000 miles worse, if it goes on like this, the court will produce powerful ministers.

Wang Renyou, who was standing behind, looked at Wang Ping'an in front of him and thought: "This Wang Ping'an is amazing, it seems that the matter should be no problem if he asks him, but I don't know if the Xiao family has begged him?" Well, it doesn't matter if the Xiao clan begs him, if you talk about how the Xiao clan can compare to my Qi County Wang clan, what the Xiao clan promised to give Wang Ping'an, my Wang clan doubled it. ”

He followed the ministers out of the palace, but did not leave, but waited at the carriage, wanting to wait for the king to come out safely.

Wang Ping'an followed Li Zhi to the Manna Palace. As soon as he entered the main hall, Li Zhi withdrew the eunuchs and palace maids, Shi Zhongchen was very good at looking at them, although the emperor did not explicitly let him leave, but he still found an excuse to go out and did not listen.

There was only one servant left in the palace, Wang Ping'an, and Li Zhi said: "No disease, how do you think about it, but have you come up with a good way?" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "I haven't come up with a good way yet, but the minister has found the witnesses, who are the concubines in the palace before......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi was taken aback and said hurriedly: "How can you tell those people about this, they all know Mei Niang, and they were all from the palace before!" ”

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said: "This, not necessarily, there are still many people who don't know Mei Niang." He told the emperor about last night's events.

After Li Zhi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see." I remembered that you and I had a word before that you were not sick, saying that money can make ghosts grind, and ghosts laugh haha. I don't want to know another sentence today, it turns out that money can also make nuns commit perjury, and I laughed haha, it seems that money is indeed a good thing! ”

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "That is, money is a good thing, don't talk about others, just say the minister's father, and the name is Wang Youcai!" ”

Li Zhi laughed twice, and began to worry again, and said: "But there are witnesses, how did Mei Niang enter the palace, and how did she find a good reason?" I thought about this reason all night yesterday, but I didn't come up with anything, it's really distressing, it seems that you have to be disease-free to think about it! ”

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, before going to court just now, at the gate of the palace, the prince Wang wanted to invite me to the banquet and let his wife cook for himself. The minister thinks about it, it seems that even if the minister is the prime minister, he can be the king and the boss, and he doesn't need to curry favor with the minister so deliberately, right? ”

"Ah, you said that Wang Renyou wants to invite you to dinner, he wants to beg you to do something, right? It won't be that you want to go your way and ask an official to do it, right? "Li Zhi is inexplicable, can the national abbot still lack officials to do, he is just busy, he can't take care of him, as long as the officials send the promotion documents up, how can he not approve it, can he ask for the king's peace, is it possible that the old man of the country wants to enter the door and save it?

Li Zhi touched the corner of his forehead and said, "I was just busy for a while, I didn't think of him, why is he in a hurry?" ”

Wang Ping'an clapped his hands lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the problem is here, you didn't think of him, he is the current ruler, who do you forget, you can't forget him, isn't forgetting him equivalent to forgetting the queen!" ”

Li Zhi sighed, and said a little dazedly: "It seems that I really haven't seen the queen for a while, it seems that the last time is at the enthronement ceremony, and I haven't seen it since." ”

Wang Ping'an pursed his lips slightly, thinking: "There have been a lot of days, I even came back from Goguryeo, for such a long time, the two of you haven't seen each other, you have snubbed her, and you have been snubbed for too long, and you have forgotten that there is such a wife!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Your Majesty, the minister estimates that the prince does not necessarily have to find a minister to ask for an official, but wants to remind the emperor through the minister, so that you can see the queen more." By the way, Your Majesty, have you recently had a new favorite, so the queen was scared, so you told the king? ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "No, I haven't called a concubine to sleep for a long time, but I went to see Xiao a few times, but I didn't spend the night with her, I went to see the child, she gave birth to a little prince for me, and she was full of my favor." ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "It seems that the queen is afraid that Concubine Xiao Shu will rob her of her seat!" The emperor thinks, in the harem, you only love Concubine Xiao Shufei, doesn't this mean to give others a feeling, don't you love 3,000 fandelies, only favor Concubine Xiao Shufei alone? How can the queen not be afraid! ”

Li Zhi was very surprised and said: "No, I didn't pamper the Xiao family, I went to her, just to see the child, not to see her!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "But others look like they are favored, and Concubine Xiao Shu is not only favored by the emperor, she also has a prince, others will even think that the emperor wants to make her son the prince!" ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "The child is still so young, how can he be made the crown prince now." When he said this, he was a little depressed.

The Li Dynasty has never had any trouble with the establishment of the crown prince, although the prince always has accidents, but there is no trouble in establishing the prince. Li Yuan established Li Jiancheng because Li Jiancheng was the eldest son, and Li Shimin established Li Chengqian because he was the eldest son. Although they did not become emperors in the end, they had one thing in common, that is, they were all born to the queen, and they were both the eldest sons.

But it won't work when it's Li Zhi's turn here, Queen Wang didn't give birth, and Li Zhi's eldest son was a concubine, so after he ascended the throne, he was not in a hurry to establish a prince. Of course, because the eldest grandson Wuji controls the government, a big reason is also on the eldest grandson Wuji, he has not yet figured out which prince will be more beneficial to him to appoint as the prince, so he does not allow Li Zhi to establish the prince, and Li Zhi is not in a hurry to stand, but he is still uncomfortable in his heart.

Wang Ping'an said his discomfort and whispered: "Because the queen has no prince, she is afraid, afraid of being abolished, which is also human nature." The minister estimated that the prince was looking for the minister, just to find out the news, and wanted to persuade the emperor to pamper the queen more, if you don't spoil her, she can't give birth alone! ”

If this was said by someone else, no matter how good Li Zhi's temper was, he would have to be slapped in the face, but this was said by Wang Ping'an, and he felt very reasonable. Nodding, Li Zhi said, "Then I will see the queen more in the future?" By the way, you're her cousin! ”

Wang Ping'an snorted and said, "I can't do it accurately." But the minister thought, can Mei Niang's matter pass the queen? Your Majesty, otherwise you should see Concubine Xiao Shu more often, and treat her better, so that the queen will be more afraid, and the prince will also beg the ministers, and at that time, maybe Mei Niang's affairs will take a turn for the better! ”

Li Zhiqi said: "Turnaround? Even if there is a turnaround, they will not have anything to do with the concubines in the palace, it's too late for them to object! Alas, it's a headache to think about, I didn't sleep all night last night, and now I have a worse headache just thinking about it. If you don't have any disease, I'll leave this matter to you, hurry up and figure out a way! ”

Saying that, Li Zhi stood up, patted Wang Ping'an's shoulder heavily, and said, "I trust you very much!" "The attitude and tone, dare to be the same as Changsun Wuji and Shi Zhongchen, he has not learned anything else, but he has learned a lot of means of patting the minister's shoulder, especially for Wang Ping'an!

Wang Ping'an quit the palace, and Li Zhi went back to the harem to make up for sleep.

did not go to Dongtai, Wang Ping'an deliberately did not deal with government affairs, in fact, the government affairs of Menxia Province belong to the convergence type, Zhongshu Province does the planning, Menxia Province audits, and Shangshu Province implements. The plan made by Ma Zhou, how could there be a major mistake and no need to be reviewed, and Wuji, the eldest grandson of Shangshu Province, wished that Wang Ping'an would not do anything, and he would do it for him, so it didn't matter if Wang Ping'an went or not, on the contrary, he could still be popular.

Wang Ping'an walked out of the palace gate, and from a distance, he saw Wang Renyou greet him with a smile on his face. Wang Renyou smiled and said, "Wang Xiang, can you let the old man wait, let's leave now?" Just now, the old man has sent someone home to ask his wife to prepare wine and food, let's have a few drinks today! ”
