Chapter 769: Meeting but Not Daring to Meet
Chapter 769: Meeting but not daring to meet
Wang Ping'an was stunned for a moment, what kind of situation is this, why did the emperor want to pay a private visit to the people, or nuns, but visited a group of prime ministers and generals?
The eldest grandson Wuji arrived first, and he didn't get off the horse, he blew his beard at Wang Ping'an and glared at him: "Little bastard, you have nothing to eat......
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Back to my uncle's words, my nephew hasn't eaten yet!" ”
Chu Suiliang also came to the front and said with a smile: "Wujigong, why bother, Wuji is also a big person, he has become the prime minister of the country, why are you still scolding him, you don't give face to the disease-free good child!" ”
Fang Xuanling smiled and said nothing, he and Wang Ping'an were not very close, although Wang Ping'an had been kind to him, but he was also grateful in his heart, and he refused to say it.
Li Zhi arrived at the end, and he said to Wang Ping'an: "No disease, I said that we would go to Ganye Temple to visit, but my uncle and they entered the palace early, so we had to go together, so we had to go together!" ”
Wang Ping'an stiffened his scalp and clapped his hands and said: "Okay, now the spring is bright, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it is really a good time to go out to play, let's go to the suburbs to play together, move our muscles and bones, and eat a few more bowls of rice!" ”
He turned around, turned on his horse, accompanied Li Zhi, and walked northwest together.
On the way, seeing that others were a little far away, Wang Ping'an asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what's wrong, why are so many people walking together, how did they know that you were leaving the palace today?" ”
Li Zhi said loudly and said: "Isn't it that Shi Zhongchen, he talked a lot, and told Ma Zhou that we were going to Ganye Temple to hide and relax, and Ma Zhou immediately told his uncle, and then as soon as it was dawn today, my uncle took someone to block me." ”
Wang Ping'an grinned when he heard this, and thought: "It is estimated that Shi Zhongchen is afraid of making another Wu Meiniang, and he is not easy to say clearly, and he can't stop it, so he simply told the eldest grandson Wuji and asked everyone to follow, saying that it was a companion, but it was really a supervision." Well, the superintendent doesn't count, because Shi Zhongchen won't tell the eldest grandson Wuji, and Wu Meiniang's matter won't come out of his mouth, but as long as he lets people follow the emperor, then the emperor won't be able to be romantic! ”
After walking for a while, I came to a small town, which was not big, but there were a few restaurants, and at this time the smoke was curling, and the shops were cooking, but they were not making breakfast, and the ordinary people did not eat breakfast, they were preparing for the lunch meal.
Wang Ping'an said: "Your Majesty, there is still ...... Uncles and uncles, you must have never had breakfast, why don't you go to the front and find a place, sit down and rest for a while, eat something, and make up for it! ”
Li Zhi smiled: "Okay, I haven't eaten anything outside for a long time, but I miss the folk snacks a little." Let's go eat Hu Cake, add more minced mutton and haggis soup to it. ”
As he spoke, he turned back to the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Uncle, that haggis soup tastes strange, you will definitely like it!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "Why does it taste strange, the old minister has to like it, I haven't eaten the haggis soup!" ”
Everyone talked and laughed, and entered the town together, and found a restaurant, there were many of them, and the restaurant was small, and the eldest grandson Wuji thought that it was too aggrieved inside, so he asked everyone to sit outside together, and each found Mazha to sit.
But this restaurant is too small, and it is all the business of porters and grooms, and the diners have always eaten with a flatbread in one hand and a rice bowl in the other, squatting at the door, or sitting on the threshold, snoring and leaving, without so much attention.
The store even has a shortage of Mazha, Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji have Mazha to sit on, and when it is Wang Ping'an's turn, he can only find a few bricks to sit on, Mi Xiaomiao and Ouyang Li They don't even have bricks, so they can only squat.
After a while, the hard cakes and haggis soup were served, and Li Zhi and the others nibbled on the flatbread and drank the haggis soup, and ate happily. For Li Zhi, if he wants to eat like this every day, of course, it will be unpleasant, but once in a while, it will have a unique flavor. And the ministers were able to sit with the emperor and drink haggis soup, but they were all very honored, and felt that this was the emperor's trust in them.
Wang Ping'an was eating, but he felt someone coming over, and when he turned his head, it was Xue Rengui. In front of Wang Ping'an, this general does not have the same majesty as in books and operas, but has a smile on his face, giving Wang Ping'an a feeling that this general is stammering himself.
Xue Rengui approached Wang Ping'an and whispered: "Wang Xiangye, otherwise let's change, you sit on Maza, and the last will sit on a brick?" ”
Wang Ping'an felt quite interesting, he swallowed his mouthful of cakes, and said with a smile: "No need, you are an elder, much older than me, and this is not a court, what kind of grade are you talking about, let's come according to your age!" ”
Xue Rengui is not a grinder, he laughed twice, and went straight to the point, he said: "I usually have too little contact with Wang Xiangye, and the last general wanted to visit, but I was afraid that it would be abrupt and cause your unhappiness." That's the case, and there will be something to ask for. ”
"Something to ask me?" Wang Ping'an said. He is a figure who doesn't care about the three, as the prime minister, but he is not autocratic, this General Xue Rengui, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the guard general of the Xuanwu Gate, what can he ask for!
Xue Rengui whispered: "Wang Xiangye, the last general has been in the capital for too long, his body is itchy, he has the heart to serve the country, and he wants to go to the border to create a career." Isn't this just a war on Goguryeo's side, can you help, help the last general mention it in front of the emperor, and let the last general go to Yingzhou to lead the troops? ”
Wang Ping'an sighed, this is to ask for release, this is to make progress! He smiled and said: "This, it's easy to say, anyway, the matter of conquering Goguryeo has not yet been decided, and it will not be said until the day after tomorrow at the court meeting, at that time, I suggested to the emperor that I send General Xue, and it will be done, but it is estimated that you can only be a deputy." Zhengshuai is either General Li or General Wei Chi. ”
Xue Rengui was overjoyed, this Wang Xiangye is really easy to talk to, no wonder everyone calls him a good person, he is really a good person! As soon as he was happy, he sent Wang Ping'an a good person card.
Xue Rengui said: "How can the last general be compared with General Li and General Wei Chi, it is already very good to be a deputy." Thank you for the promotion of Wang Xiangye, the grace of cultivation, the end will never dare to forget! ”
Wang Ping'an hummed twice, and sighed in his heart. I think back then, when I first met Wei Chigong, how cautious he was, but time has passed, and Xue Rengui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty who will also have great achievements in the future, is begging for his promotion, and he agreed, and it even became a cultivation grace for him...... This is really, the world is uncertain!
The eldest grandson Wuji saw the two of them whispering, so he asked, "What are you two talking about, sneaky?" ”
Chu Sui thought in his conscience: "This eldest grandson, as for the elder, could it be that Wang Ping'an, as the prime minister, has become a sneaky person when he talks to the generals of the Wei Mansion, and he has to report everything to you?" It's too authoritarian! ”
Chu Suiliang interrupted and said with a smile: "Isn't it, look at the sneaky appearance of the two of you, in broad daylight, you two must have something dirty, quickly say it and listen, let us comment." ”
Li Zhi also looked over here, but he said, "You two don't think the haggis soup is delicious, and you want to change the taste?" He actually thought about eating.
Wang Ping'an smiled: "How can there be, how can there be sneaky." General Xue is asking his ministers...... Ask me about Goguryeo, and I'll talk to him, nothing else! ”
Xue Rengui was so embarrassed that he could only keep nodding his head and said, "Yes, yes, the villain is asking about the prince of Goguryeo, and asking if the Goguryeo people like to eat Hu cakes!" ”
Li Zhi sighed and said: "Goguryeo people probably don't like to eat Hu cakes, I heard that two days before the disease, they like to eat pickles, the saltier the more they love to eat, in order to eat pickles, they can call people dad!" ”
Everyone laughed, and even the shopkeeper who was cooking in the house heard it, and said with a smile: "You don't know yet, our Wang Xiangye just beat Goguryeo down, and accepted the king as his godson. It's not surprising that the pickles are so delicious that they can make the king call his father! ”
Everyone laughed even louder, and the eldest grandson Wuji was also happy, and he asked, "No disease, you say, how delicious are those pickles, and why does the king of Goguryeo love to eat them so much?" ”
Wang Ping'an sighed, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe there is a shortage of salt in that place, so the locals love salty food!" ”
"Nonsense, that place is by the sea, how can there be a lack of salt, the lack of father is almost the same, that king wants to recognize our Wang Xiangye as a father, so he found an excuse, not to say that he was subject to eating pickles, and by the way, he recognized his father!" The shopkeeper teased.
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Leave virtue under your mouth, that little king can now be regarded as our courtier of the Tang Dynasty, don't scold it!" ”
Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji and others nodded one after another, and they no longer made fun of the little king of Goguryeo, of course, they called him the dung king in their hearts, and they should still be called, but they didn't say it to the public because of their own identity.
The shopkeeper snorted and entered the back room, where there was a voice, presumably he and his wife talking, not loudly, but only separated by a curtain, and people outside could still hear it.
I listened to the shopkeeper say: "A group of unproductive people, they don't even dare to scold, they don't have the slightest courage, they only deserve to squat to eat, squat to pull!" ”
People outside, look at me, I look at you, and laugh again. said that they are unproductive, then the entire Datang, I'm afraid there will be no more promising!
Everyone didn't care, and they didn't blame the shopkeeper, after eating and drinking, they threw down the food money, they burped, got on the horse and continued to walk in the direction of Ganye Temple.
After walking for a short time, you arrived at the mountain gate of Ganye Temple.
Ouyang Li dismounted, went up the steps, slammed the door, and shouted: "Host, host, come out quickly, the gentlemen have come to see you again!" ”
When the nun guarding the door inside heard this, she was taken aback and thought, "I just came yesterday, why did I come here again today, it's really fatal!" She immediately opened the door, clasped her palms together, and recited Amitabha Buddha first, not even daring to raise her head, and said, "This donor, what are you doing?" ”
Ouyang Li looked back and saw that Wang Ping'an nodded, then he turned his head and said, "Go and tell your host, your matter has been committed, and the emperor will come in person to punish you and make you unable to be a nun!" ”
Li Zhi listened interestingly in the back, got off the horse with a smile, walked up the steps slowly, and said, "This master, go and talk to the host, and say that I am here." ”
The nun raised her head at once, as a bhikshuni who knew the guest, she naturally remembered the appearance of Li Zhi, who had been here when Li Zhi was the crown prince, and she had seen it.
Although she took the medicine sent by Wang Ping'an, her symptoms of diarrhea were so good that she no longer had diarrhea, fortunately she didn't pull anymore, otherwise she would have to pull her pants now, but her body was weak and she hadn't fully recovered!
Seeing that it was really today, this nun took a few steps back, and one accidentally sat down with a thud! She has no master, she can't even speak, and she can't even recite Amitabha Buddha completely, and she really thinks that the emperor is here to ask for sin!
The eldest grandson Wuji and others also walked in, and as soon as they entered the temple, Chu Suiliang said: "What's the matter, why is there a strange smell in this temple?" ”
The symptoms of the nuns' diarrhea have indeed improved, but because of the weakness, so they have not had time to clean, there is indeed a smell in this temple, although it is not serious, but there is a wind blowing, it will still come over.
Wang Ping'an followed into the temple, waved at the nun and said, "What are you still sitting for, why don't you go and report to the host, is it possible that you still imagine that we waited outside for a long time like yesterday?" ”
The nun was so frightened that she jumped up from the ground and shouted, "Don't dare, don't dare, the poor nun will go and report to the master!" Completely ignoring the etiquette, he ran to the backyard in a panic.
The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "What's the matter, why are the nuns in this temple so rude, they don't even give courtesy, they just run away!" ”
Chu Suiliang said with a smile: "I still want people to behave in a way, others are using their heads, and everyone is using their buttocks to smash the ground, you are still not satisfied!" ”
Everyone shook their heads together and walked into the main hall, waiting for the arrival of the presiding nun.
The nun rushed into the quiet room where the old nun was presiding, and told the emperor about the arrival of the old nun, and the old nun almost turned his back on him, the prime minister came yesterday, and today it is even worse, even the emperor came. But why did the emperor come and not announce it in advance!
The host Lao Ni hurriedly said: "Quick, go and call the free, if there is something, let's let her top it!" ”
The nun hurriedly went to find Wu Meiniang again. Wu Meiniang was sweeping the floor outside the stone room at this time, cleaning up the stone room yesterday and cleaning up the yard today. Hearing the nun say that the emperor is coming, she was surprised and delighted, Wang Ping'an is really doing things, so she invited the emperor, is the emperor coming to see her?
Wu Meiniang threw down the broom and ran forward like crazy, and when she ran to the front hall, the closer she got to the front hall, the slower her footsteps, and finally stopped, not daring to go inside. She hid outside the hall, followed the window, and secretly looked inside, and her heart was so nervous that she almost jumped out of her cavity!
At this time, Li Zhi stood in front of the Buddha statue, looking at the incense burner, and the presiding nun had already arrived at this time, and was stammering, saying that she didn't want to rebel, she was a nun, and she couldn't rebel!
No one else squeaked, but the eldest grandson Wuji listened strangely and asked: "Don't panic, host, you are a monk and a woman, how can you rebel?" Did someone frame you? Say it, it's your decision! ”
