Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 489
Of course, Mi Xiaomiao couldn't talk to Wang Pingan about the affairs of the inner palace. No matter how much Wang Ping'an was favored by Li Zhi, he was still a foreign minister after all.There is a saying that everyone knows the secret, but it must not be said from my mouth!
Mi Xiaomiao knew this well, and he said a word, that is to say, he abided by this principle and did not offend Wang Ping'an, and he also expressed a hint that it was not that Li Zhi had no close relationship with anyone, but that the close people were a little out of order.How can it be unethical? There is only one situation, the person he is close to is the emperor's harem.

Wang Ping'an also blinked his eyes, and said: "I have a niece named Wu Meiniang who works in Lixia Palace. Her mother was sent to Xuzhou by me. After I return to Beijing this time, I plan to take my parents from When Xuzhou received Chang'an, her mother would naturally follow, I would like to ask, is there any taboo in the palace to allow concubines to see their relatives?"

Mi Xiaomiao hummed, and thought: "So you know about that thing, I don't know who told you, but I can't tell you more."

He said: "There are many taboos, but there is no need to go to the palace to meet. Isn't your niece in charge of the peony in Lixia Palace? You can let her choose the flower fertilizer by herself, and then ask her mother to dress up as a flower farmer and go to Ye Ting Waiting at the palace, then we will meet each other, and there is no need to worry about taboos."

Wang Pingan said, and nodded, there is no doubt that Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang have hooked up, otherwise Mi Xiaomiao wouldn't be able to say that.Since he knew that Wu Meiniang was in charge of planting peonies, it meant that he must have paid attention to it. Why should he pay attention? Naturally, Li Zhi often went there, otherwise, a little court lady who planted flowers could fall into the eyes of Grand Duke Mi?Grandpa Mi is very busy, he won't pay attention to useless people!
Wang Pingan sighed in his heart, it really should come sooner or later, there is no way to stop it, we can only let nature take its course.But then again, why bother? Without Wu Meiniang, how could there be a prosperous Tang Dynasty?Even if you want to take care of it, it's not about her business, but about An Lushan's father...or grandpa or something, as long as he finds out and kills him, there will be no future troubles.

Mi Xiaomiao looked at Wang Ping'an and said, "My lord, what are you thinking? You say you don't feel bad, but you feel really bad in your heart?"

He sat next to Wang Ping'an, and said again: "This time, Director Shi ordered our family to come to comfort you. Don't take the frustration in front of you in your heart, let alone complain. Once you complain , I'm afraid it will eventually reach the emperor's ears, then you will really be frustrated, even in the future... it will be very difficult to be proud!"

Wang Pingan knew that he had misunderstood, and he was thinking about Wu Meiniang's matter, not because he was frustrated or not.At the banquet just now, he had already learned that he was left idle. It is estimated that Shi Zhongchen was afraid that he would not be able to see through the situation in the court, complained indiscriminately, and caused the emperor's displeasure, so he kept idle himself. That's why he asked Mi Xiaomiao to say these things of.

He said with a smile: "Master Mi laughed at me. I am a lazy person, not an official. After returning to Beijing, I can just study behind closed doors, study medical skills, get a few more prescriptions, and sell them for money." Please have a drink."

Mi Xiaomiao said: "You're right if you think so. Also, it's about next year's scientific examination. Aren't you the deputy chief examiner? At that time, Dudu didn't mention this matter. Director Shi reckoned that the emperor couldn't forget this... Ha, you can ask Mr. Chu yourself for the rest of the matter when you return to Beijing!"

Wang Pingan said, Chu Suiliang is the chief examiner, and he is one of the deputy chief examiners. Since the emperor didn't mention this, it means that he still has hope!He asked: "Of course I want to ask after I return to Beijing, but the chief examiner... what does it mean?"

Mi Xiaomiao chuckled twice, stretched her waist, and said, "Where does our family know about this? Our family only knows that when the chief executive Shi just gained power, he personally promoted a group of people in Ye Ting Palace and sent them to the palace. For the emperor to use, isn't this group of people legitimate now?"

Wang Pingan nodded, it was still for the prince, he wanted to let himself choose the team for the prince!He said: "It's night, Mr. Mi has been traveling hard, so let's rest, I'm going back to sleep too."

As he said that, he walked to the door, and suddenly he turned around and asked, "What kind of stimulation has the emperor received?"

Mi Xiaomiao was slightly taken aback, but he couldn't hide it, so it was better to tell the truth, he said: "I have fainted twice, and my body is not as good as before!"

Wang Pingan didn't speak any more, went out of the room, and closed the door for Mi Xiaomiao.Mi Xiaomiao sat on the bed, sighed softly, took off her clothes and covered her quilt, and fell asleep.

Wang Ping'an returned to his room, and two little girls waited for him to wash his face and feet. After Wang Ping'an went to bed, he thought to himself: "I'm afraid Li Shimin will die. No way!"

Turn off the lights and go to sleep, don't worry about the ancients!
In the next two days, more things happened. Fang Xuanling arranged the affairs of Zheliu County one by one, and ordered the Guazhou Governor You Xiujie to be removed from his official position and escorted back to Beijing.The governor of Shazhou rushed over, and after seeing Fang Xuanling and Wang Ping'an, he thought he was Wang Ping'an's personal person from now on, and specially recommended one person to take the temporary post of governor of Guazhou, and Fang Xuanling agreed. Guazhou got involved with Wang Pingan again.

The grasslands that originally belonged to the Dayan tribe, from Shazhou, to Zheliu, to Yumen Pass and Guazhou, were almost all involved with Wang Pingan. It can be said that this is already Wang Pingan's fundamental place.Of course, the prerequisite is that Li Shimin will no longer change Wang Pingan's other fiefs.

The resettlement of the Turkic people was temporarily handed over to Shazhou Inspector and Gu Lantian. As long as they followed the precautions arranged by Fang Xuanling, there would probably be no major problems.

After everything was settled, Wang Ping'an, Fang Xuanling and others returned to Chang'an with a team of personal followers.

Everyone was happy to be able to return to Chang'an, but it was bitterly cold outside the pass, so there was really nothing to wait for, Chang'an was better, and you could get what you wanted.In the entire team, there was only one person who was unhappy, and that was Wang Wendu.

Wang Wendu was kicked out of the gate by the ministers like a rubber ball. He saw the huge credit in front of him, but he didn't get any credit, didn't get any credit, and offended a circle for nothing. people.If he wasn't depressed, he would be too open-minded, to the point of being heartless.

Everyone knew that he was finished, so no one paid attention to him, but there were exceptions, such as Xu Jingzong.Xu Jingzong is also unlucky, but he is different from Wang Wendu. Wang Wendu entered Baoshan but returned empty-handed. He didn’t even see Baoshan. , I just picked up the dung, and I have suffered a lot. After returning to Beijing, I don't know what will happen!

Both of them were frustrated people, so they still managed to get along. They ate and slept together, and they became brothers. They were accepted by Tang Xuanzang and became lay disciples of Buddhism.

They were unlucky, and they didn't joke with others. Tang Xuanzang saw it, and immediately stepped in, talking about karma with them.Ever since, in order to find spiritual sustenance, they worshiped Tang Xuanzang together.

And on the way, a small apprenticeship ceremony was held, which was presided over by Wang Ping'an, an eminent monk of the White Horse Temple.Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty gave each of them a dharma title.

Wang Wendu was always restless and could not stand the heat of the world, so Tang Xuanzang decided to name him Nai, but Nai only means patience, but has no vigor, and the meaning of comeback is in it. The word "Nai" is connected with the word "neng". Both have the meaning of patience, but Neng has more talented explanations, so it was finally named Neng.Tang Xuanzang's apprentices were from the generation of Wu Zi, so Wang Wendu's official name is Wu Neng.

Xu Jingzong was glib and liked flattering, which was impure in mind and was not good for practice, so Tang Xuanzang named him Jing, hoping that he would be a clean and good person.Therefore, Xu Jingzong's dharma name is Wujing.

Tang Xuanzang originally wanted to accept Wang Ping'an as his apprentice, and advised him to stop worrying about mundane affairs and become a Buddhist disciple with all four elements empty. He also wanted to name him Wukong, but Wang Ping'an sternly refused.

Wang Ping'an's reasons are very legitimate and sufficient. He is the junior disciple of the abbot of the White Horse Temple, and he made friends with Tang Xuanzang's peers. How could he be his apprentice? Wouldn't he be a generation shorter? This great monk wanted to take advantage of him, of course he refused accepted.

Tang Xuanzang had no choice but to give up. As for Fang Xuanling...Fang Xuanling didn't answer him at all. What kind of teacher and student are still apprentices, go ahead and play!

There was only such a small episode along the way, and nothing else happened, so I hurried back to Chang'an before the end of the year.

Before we entered Chang'an, we were still a hundred miles away from the city, and we were almost out of Gyeonggi. No officials came to welcome us, but a large group of monks came, more than 3000 people, all from Chang'an and surrounding monasteries. The monks, and all the abbots of the monastery, all came, and there was no one left, and all of them were present.Not only did they come, but they also brought with them more than [-] people, all of whom were good men and women who believed in Buddhism.

So many people did not come to greet Wang Ping'an and Fang Xuanling, but Tang Xuanzang.Although Tang Xuanzang was not very likable when he was breaking willows, he was full of allusions all day long, and everyone who saw him would hide away, but in fact he went west to Tianzhu and retrieved Buddhist scriptures, which was a very remarkable thing at the time. He must have great perseverance, he is definitely an idol of this era!
When the monks from various monasteries in Gyeonggi learned that Tang Xuanzang had returned to Beijing, all the abbots came out and traveled a hundred miles to meet Tang Xuanzang and welcome him back to the capital of the Celestial Dynasty!
The welcome ceremony is quite grand, and the degree of extravagance is staggering. The faithful men and women are really willing to spend money!One after another, the floats are pulled by white oxen, and various birds are brought in cages for release.There is even a rich man who even brought grain and a big pot to give porridge along the way. No matter who it is, just point to the direction of the float that Tang Xuanzang is sitting on and recite Amitabha, and he will be full immediately!

Tang Xuanzang brought back Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu, and Wang Ping'an retrieved them for him without any loss. At this time, these Buddhist scriptures were put on floats for the people to watch.Along the way, countless people bowed to the floats and chanted the Buddha's name.

Looking at the grand occasion in front of him, Fang Xuanling said: "It's too extravagant. In the early Tang Dynasty, people's lives are not rich. It can be used in the ceremony of worshiping Buddha, but it is so extravagant and wasteful. It really makes people feel distressed! No disease , what do you say?"

Wang Pingan didn't say a word, neither nodded nor shook his head, and didn't express any opinions.

Di Renjie was always by his side. Seeing that Wang Pingan turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, he said in surprise: "Brother, I have read the history books. It was said that during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the monarchs of various countries built temples and supported monks so much that they spent too much. When there is a war in the country, even the military salary cannot be paid. Now that this kind of thing has happened again in my Tang Dynasty, don’t you have any ideas?”

Wang Pingan said to him: "What other people believe in is their business. Even if you don't believe it, don't make rash comments. Maybe you will believe in it in the future!" He is a lay disciple of Baima Temple, but he never recites the Buddha's name, but he also does not interfere with other people's recitation.

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Brother's demeanor is really rare."

After walking for a while, he suddenly said: "Originally Xu Jingzong and Wang Wendu were the most unpopular people here, but now they are lucky enough to sit on the float as disciples, really it's unreasonable !"

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "One of them is called Wu Neng and the other is Wu Jing. They just need Wu Kong. Why don't you go join in the fun and ask Xuanzang to be your teacher. You can be that Wu Kong, and you can also sit on the float. Let's have a good time, don't be sour and jealous of them here!"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to listen to his allusions all day long."

Wang Ping'an said: "This is called a misfortune. How can we know that it is not a blessing. The two of them were frustrated in the officialdom, but they made back their capital here and were worshiped by the people. This master thinks it is really worth it."

He rode his horse and rushed to the front, and said to Tang Xuanzang: "Brother, let me lend you this white dragon horse. If you enter Beijing on a horse, it will show your hard work in learning Buddhist scriptures even more than riding a float."

Tang Xuanzang said with a smile: "That's fine, the poor monk is used to riding a horse, but Leng Ding is really not used to riding a car." He really got off the float and rode on the white dragon horse. Xu Jingzong and Wang Wendu also got off the float , one left and one right by Tang Xuanzang's side.

When they got off the float, Wang Pingan sat on it honestly. He waved to Di Renjie and said with a smile, "Brother, don't you want to ride on the float? Come on, it's not bad for us brothers to sit in Beijing!"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Brother really has a trick!" He also got on the float, holding the scriptures triumphantly.

After walking a long distance, more and more people greeted Tang Xuanzang. Di Renjie got a little tired of sitting. He picked up a scripture and read it, and found that it was full of Sanskrit. With a thought, he hid the scripture in his arms. I plan to keep it as a souvenir.

Wang Pingan saw it, and whispered: "You took Master Xuanzang's precious lump, be careful that he will fight you desperately."

But Di Renjie said: "If there is one or two missing, there is no need to work hard. The big deal is to push it to the troubled one. Who told him that the law is called troubled!"

Wang Pingan hummed, and he also took out two scriptures, picked out the thick ones, hid them in his arms, and said with a smile: "Then I'll keep a souvenir too, don't tell others!"

The two brothers laughed softly.

It took two days to walk a hundred miles straight before arriving outside Chang'an City.

Looking from a distance, there are countless people standing outside the city, almost the same as when the Olympic Games were held, the number is too many to count!

Di Renjie shouted: "Brother, is Master Xuanzang so famous? Are these people here to welcome him, or come to welcome you?"

Wang Ping'an kept silent, thinking: "It is written in the book that when Tang Xuanzang returned to Beijing, Taoists and customs rushed to welcome him, and all the capital stopped the market. It seems that this is indeed a historical fact! He left a beautiful legend for future generations, so am I right?" What else do you have to leave behind?"

He stood up from the float and shouted: "Senior brother Xuanzang, I would like to offer one hundred thousand guan... I was wrong, I am willing to help you design a wild goose pagoda!"
