Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 400 Imprisoned
Changsun Wuji made a decision, the ministers kept silent and backed away one after another. You looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all at a loss. Could it be that something big happened in the palace?
Wang Ping'an was dragged by Changsun Wuji and entered the palace gate. Changsun Wuji dismissed the guards and asked, "No illness, how did I treat you in the past?"

Wang Pingan bit the bullet and said: "Grace is higher than the sky, love is deeper than the sea."

Changsun Wuji held his hand tightly and said, "Then tell me the truth, what happened in the palace?"

There is no way to hide this matter, but the truth should not come out of your own mouth.Wang Pingan said in a low voice: "The emperor is not feeling well, something happened last night, that's why... well, I'm still hiding it from the emperor. For the specific situation, you can ask Director Shi, I was also called into the palace urgently, I don't know So yes!"

Changsun Wuji groaned, breathing heavily, he closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and asked, "What's the matter with the prince?"

"His Royal Highness is extremely sad, there is no movement... nothing!" Wang Ping'an was trembling in his heart, this is his own uncle and nephew, and at a critical moment, he even became suspicious!
Let alone uncles and nephews, even if they are fathers and sons, or brothers, it's just a matter of falling out. This is the emperor's house, not under the eaves of ordinary people!
Only then did Changsun Wuji feel relieved, and said: "The old man is thinking about it, it's fine...it's fine if nothing serious happened!" He glanced at Wang Ping'an and said: "You hit the Jingyang Bell, and you have already committed a crime. Big crime, although the old man is willing to plead for you, but you have to take the initiative yourself, go to Dali Temple to accept the crime!"

Wang Pingan knew in his heart that it would be unrealistic to muddle through what happened last night, and he would have to suffer a lot!He said: "Yes, I will go to Dali Temple to accept the crime!"

Changsun Wuji said: "You don't need to say anything, just wait for the old man to save you."

"I'll save you!" Wang Ping'an saluted, bowed his head and walked out of the palace gate, intending to go to Dali Temple.The ministers looked at him, but no one said a word, and no one dared to ask him at this time.

As Wang Pingan walked, he thought, "No one is arresting me? This is not in line with Changsun Wuji's style!" As soon as this idea came up, a team of guards came running behind.

The leading captain said: "Your Majesty, I will send you to Dali Temple, so I can serve you on the way!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Then I'll have to work!" Under the "protection" of the imperial guards, he went to Dali Temple.

Changsun Wuji went out of the palace gate and said: "You gentlemen, go back to your yamen. There is nothing serious in the court. Go back and tell your officials that the Big Dipper was shining brightly last night, which is a once-in-a-lifetime omen of good fortune. , So the Jingyang bell was rung in the palace to announce the good news to the people. After you return to the Yamen, ask the officials to write congratulatory memorials, congratulate my Great Tang, congratulate my emperor!"

The ministers all said in unison, "So that's how it is. The Big Dipper is shining brightly. This is the best of luck!" But everyone thought in their hearts, "I found the reason, and you really know how to make it up." what!"

"Historical Records" says that fighting is an imperial car, and if you say good things about the Big Dipper, you are flattering the emperor. Changsun Wuji can't do it alone, so let everyone follow along!
It's fine if you have a reason, whoever takes the imperial car will get the same salary!The ministers turned and left one after another, and let the subordinates write flattering memorials!

Only Fang Xuanling, Chu Suiliang, Ma Zhou and other important officials stayed behind, surrounded Changsun Wuji, and asked, "What's going on?"

Changsun Wuji said: "I don't know too much about the specifics. You have to go to the palace and see the emperor to know!"

"Then what are you waiting for, everyone, let's enter the palace now!" Fang Xuanling said.

The people didn't stay any longer, and entered the palace together to meet Li Shimin.

When they arrived at Ganlu Hall, they saw Shi Zhongchen waiting at the door with a smile on his face.Shi Zhongchen said with a smile: "The emperor knew all the adults were coming, he is waiting inside!"

After taking Wang Ping'an's medicine, Li Shimin's condition stabilized. Strictly speaking, as long as he didn't struggle, his condition could be controlled.After a slight improvement, Li Shimin also understood what he should understand. Last night, he must have almost failed to hold on. As a result, even the Jingyang Bell rang!

Li Shimin was also afraid in his heart, how can he not be afraid, there are few people in the world who are not afraid of death.As soon as he understood the matter, he told Shi Zhongchen that he would not summon concubines again, at least four at a time, and he had to deal with the remaining troublesome matters, otherwise there would be chaos in the court into a ball.

He didn't blame Li Zhi for his recklessness. After all, his son cared about him. Anyway, his son was a good son and filial.

After Li Zhi came back from Chengtianmen, Li Shimin met him and praised him for handling it well, but when he heard that Wang Ping'an had gone out to take responsibility, Li Shimin became worried again.

Last night, Wang Ping'an saved himself, and in the morning he went to take the blame for Li Zhi. Where can I find such a good minister?But then again, the current Wang Ping'an is still young, and he is loyal to himself and Zhi'er. He has done so many things, and Zhi'er's temper will spoil him to the extreme.

Wang Ping'an doesn't have too much power now, so what if he can follow?A powerful minister, the reason why he can become a powerful minister starts from the step of being trusted by the monarch!
Li Shimin thought to himself: "Wang Ping'an is a good boy, but if you want him to continue to be a good boy in the future, you have to suppress him, otherwise he will be proud of being pampered, and there will be endless troubles!"

He wanted to suppress Wang Ping'an, so naturally he sent Li Zhi away first. Just as he was thinking about how to suppress Wang Ping'an, Changsun Wuji and the others came!
When old comrades met, they naturally had something to say. Li Shimin vaguely explained his illness, saying that there were many concubines in the harem, and he wanted to have more children.

For the emperors of the feudal dynasty, the more children and grandchildren, the better. This is understandable. The emperor explained it himself. If any of the ministers asked again, they would be in need of repairs. Even the eldest grandson Wuji did not dare to ask more.

After that, Li Shimin changed the subject and said that Li Zhi accidentally knocked on the Jingyang bell, and Wang Pingan took the initiative to take responsibility.This matter can only be known in a small area, and other ministers cannot be known. If it can be covered, it must be covered.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly talked about the Big Dipper, Li Shimin nodded in agreement, this is a good reason.But when it came to Wang Ping'an's talk about assassins in the palace, Li Shimin didn't talk about it this time!
Li Shimin said: "This Wang Ping'an is too ignorant to do things, why doesn't he have Wuji's ability, and he uses the Big Dipper as an excuse!"

Chu Suiliang said: "Ginger is still very old, but Wang Ping'an is indeed a little tender. After tempering, it will be better!" He owed Wang Ping'an a favor, so naturally he wanted to speak kindly at this time, and wanted to persuade the emperor to take Wang Ping'an's affairs seriously. Lift it up, put it down gently.

Changsun Wuji also owed Wang Ping'an a favor, so he said: "The emperor wants to test Wang Ping'an?"

Fang Xuanling and Ma Zhou naturally understood that the emperor was going to use the emperor's technique!
There is a very conventional method to suppress important ministers in the future.For example, when the emperor finds a certain minister, he doesn't need it now, but his son will need it in the future, but he is afraid that his son will not be kind to this person and he will not be able to control him. What should he do?The old emperor took action and sent this man to prison, where he was locked up until the new king ascended the throne.

Xinjun "occasionally" thought of this minister. Although this minister is "useless", he can do it with him or without him, but let him out, let him have a little work, and avoid eating in prison for nothing.

After the minister was released, he naturally thanked the new king, thanks to His Majesty, if you can't remember me, I will have to eat in prison!In this way, if the old emperor shows power and the new emperor shows grace, this minister will be honest and obediently work for the new emperor!
Many emperors have used this trick, and Li Shimin is not the first, nor will he be the last.Not to mention far away, the nearby Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Minister of Guan, almost made people think that the old emperor was crazy!
Ma Zhou frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Ping'an has already gone to Dali Temple to confess his guilt. It is no problem to lock him up, but the reason has to be found. He has no actual fault. If he is locked up for a long time, it may be inappropriate and cause some serious problems. Some thoughtful people speculate that he is the crown prince's favorite, and I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about it!"

Changsun Wuji and the others nodded together. The prince's favored minister was imprisoned. I am afraid that others will think that the prince has fallen out of favor and that the prince will be abolished again. Then there will be big troubles!

Chu Suiliang thought for a while, and said: "It's okay to be locked up for a few days. Let Wang Pingan cool off in Dali Temple. The emperor took this opportunity to see the reactions of some interested people. After a few days, find a reason to send Wang Pingan Go out on business and let him stay away from Chang'an for a period of time, one can hone his character, and two can make the prince forget him."

Changsun Wuji was most concerned about the emperor's health, and said: "Wang Ping'an has superb medical skills, if he stays away from Chang'an..." What he meant was, if the emperor fell ill again, who would he turn to for treatment?
The ministers were silent, yes, Wang Ping'an is really not easy to deal with, he has the ability, and it really takes a lot of effort to sharpen his edges and corners!

Li Shimin was silent for a while, and said: "Let's let it go first, delay for a while, and then worry about it in a few days!"

Shi Zijue has always been easy to use. The ministers nodded together. Officials can't do other things. The ability to delay things doesn't need to be taught, everyone can do it!

At this time, Wang Ping'an had already arrived at Dali Temple. He didn't know that he was going to be tempered. He only thought about one thing now.

I made a great contribution last night. The three emperors before and after the Tang Dynasty have all received my great kindness, Li Shimin's life, Li Zhi's reputation, and Wu Meiniang's future!
But what kind of reward is waiting for you?

After entering Dali Temple, it was still Qin Shaoqing who received him.I heard that Wang Ping'an came to confess the crime because he rang the Jingyang Bell. Qin Shaoqing was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask, so he invited Wang Ping'an to the backyard directly. It's not up to him to decide what to do with such a big matter. We have to wait for the emperor's imperial decree!
