Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 557
Li Shimin smiled and said: "In the past, Wang Ping'an never talked much, but today it is surprising that he has something to play. Well, let's talk about it, Xu Jingzong is not suitable to be the governor of Yazhou, so what is he suitable for?"

Wang Ping'an said: "My Majesty, Yazhou is located in a remote place, and the people's customs are brutal. I'm afraid that Xu Jingzong is not qualified for the post of governor!"

In the early Tang Dynasty, Yazhou belonged to Lingnan Road and was under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Zhongdu Prefecture.The beautiful scenery here in later generations is a good place for tourism and vacation.But in the early Tang Dynasty, this was not the case here. In Yazhou at this time, except for the local residents, most of the people who went to the Central Plains were prisoners.Every time the government issued a judgment to exile to Lingnan, except for special circumstances, generally speaking, the prisoner was exiled to the direction of Yazhou.

To be honest, the folk customs are brutal and brutal, which is not wrong to describe Yazhou in this era. There are indeed many strong people, and the local officials here are extremely difficult to be. Yazhou more than 1000 years ago was very different from later generations. Except for the same scenery, there is no place to compare it with.

Li Shimin was suddenly amused, and asked: "How do you know that Xu Jingzong is not up to the job? Where did you know it? You will offend people greatly by saying that!"

Xu Jingzong was relegated to Yazhou to be an official with the position of Minister of Zhongshu. worth it!

Wang Pingan thought: "Offending people? Is this called offending people? Then what do you call it? Yes, you are doing it for his own good, and everything is for his sake!"

He said: "My minister has his own grounds. The situation in Yazhou is special. If you want to be a good magistrate there, you may have to use thunderous means to suppress the local lawless people, but Xu Jingzong is absolutely unable to suppress it." Because he believes in Buddhism, he doesn't beat people, he doesn't kill people, he doesn't even curse people, he is peaceful, how can he manage such a dangerous place well?"

After listening to Wang Ping'an's words, the ministers nodded inwardly. There are many prisoners exiled in Yazhou.Everyone thought so in their hearts, but on the surface everyone shook their heads, expressing their attitudes, greatly disapproving, and would never agree with Wang Pingan, lest they offend Zhangsun Wuji.

Li Shimin said: "Believe in Buddha? There are too many people who believe in Buddha. Is it possible that you can't be an official because you believe in Buddha? Punishing criminals with national laws does not affect practice. It has nothing to do with whether you believe in Buddha or not." !"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "The emperor doesn't know that Xu Jingzong has already converted to Buddhism and has a dharma name named Wujing. He is the proud disciple of Master Xuanzang. In fact, as Master Xiangma just said, he often When you bend over your desk at work, you are not dozing off, but reading scriptures silently in your heart, which is practicing cultivation!"

Li Shimin frowned. How did you say that? Could it be reasonable to sleep while working?Changsun Wuji was also puzzled, he didn't understand why Wang Pingan wanted to speak well of Xu Jingzong, he asked: "Wang Pingan, what exactly are you going to say, just say it bluntly, don't talk too much about it."

Wang Pingan agreed, and said: "My minister thinks that Xu Jingzong is not suitable to be an official in Yazhou, but he has another advantage, that is, sincerity and sincerity. Recently, good men and women in Chang'an are planning to raise money for charity. For Master Xuanzang, an eminent monk who came back from Tianzhu, he built the tallest wild goose pagoda in history, named Tongtian Pagoda. To build this pagoda, one must be a person who sincerely pays homage to the Buddha, so I think Xu Jingzong is suitable for this job. It would be perfect for him to take care of related matters around the Inspiration Temple after he has built the pagoda."

Only then did the ministers understand that they wanted Xu Jingzong to be a person similar to Miaozhu, and it was too much talent for Zhongshu Shilang to be a Miaozhu!But that's okay, it's better than going to Yazhou, at least you can stay in a prosperous place like Chang'an, and you don't have to travel thousands of miles to suffer!

Changsun Wuji laughed, this is not very good, in fact, it is better to exile Xu Jingzong to Yazhou, at least he lost power, but he will not be ridiculed by his old colleagues in Chang'an, and he can still be in Yazhou Scratch the ground and domineering.But if he really became a person like Miao Zhu, where would he put his face, and how would he face his former colleagues in the court?
Li Shimin also laughed out loud, and he asked, "What do you love, what Wang Ping'an said?"

None of the ministers said anything, they all looked at Changsun Wuji, even Ma Zhou looked at him, as long as Changsun Wuji said yes, no one could say no!

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment, but Li Ke took the first step, stood up, and said loudly: "I want to report to the emperor, my son thinks it is inappropriate, Xu Jingzong is not suitable to preside over the construction of the Tongtian Buddha, let him go out of Beijing early and go to the cliff. It would be better to go to the state. My minister agrees with the proposal of the elder grandson!"

Seeing him jumping out to speak, Changsun Wuji groaned in his heart, little bastard, how do I want to deal with others, can I allow you to talk too much!He took a step forward and said: "The old minister thought that what the King of Wu said was absurd. Just now, the old minister didn't know that Xu Jingzong had the name of Wujing, and he sincerely worshiped the Buddha, so he proposed to let him go to Yazhou as an official, but now that he knows Naturally, he will not be allowed to go again. The veteran thinks that letting him preside over the construction of Tongtian Pagoda is an act of knowing people and doing good things, and it is only natural to manage the temple property in the future!"

After a pause, he looked at Li Ke, and said again: "So, the king of Wu can't make the best use of the situation, and can't be able to know people well. It's because of too little reading, and he can't learn from history. The emperor should let Wu Wang go home Let’s study, and wait until he can learn from history, and then go to the court to assist the emperor and the crown prince, that’s all.”

Wang Pingan glanced at Li Ke, and thought: "Why did he come out and say such nonsense? He will be punished in the end, it's inexplicable."

The ministers all thought in their hearts, Li Ke followed your words, and he would be reprimanded by you.He followed your words and agreed with your point of view, but it turns out that he has read too little, and even learned from history.If you just say that you are annoying him, it will be fine, how much trouble will be saved!
Li Shimin laughed twice, waved his hands, and said: "When Ke'er comes home, study hard!" He "concerned" Li Ke for a while, and said: "Then Xu Jingzong will not be allowed to go to the cliff. Let him preside over the construction of the Wild Goose Pagoda. Also, the monk Xuanzang asked him to come to Chengtianmen tonight. I want to see him. I have heard the prince mention him these days. I also want to see if he is What kind of a person."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin was a little tired, stood up, and walked slowly towards the apse.Shi Zhongchen screamed, "Retire!" The ministers saluted together and sent the emperor off.

Changsun Wuji looked at Wang Ping'an and said, "You talk a lot today, so what good does Xu Jingzong do to you, to say nice things for him?"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "Be kind to others, be kind to others!"

Changsun Wuji laughed a few times, said, "Abusing good people!", turned around and left.Fang Xuanling and the others behind him shook their heads at Wang Ping'an without saying anything, and followed Changsun Wuji away.

Wang Pingan sighed and thought to himself: "What do you mean by abusing a good person? Didn't I want Xu Jingzong to use his spare heat and let him make money for me! Although there are many talented people in the Tang Dynasty, there are not many officials like businessmen." Well, there are very few people like Xu Jingzong, if I don't make good use of it, I'm too stupid!"

While thinking in my heart, while walking out of the hall, I suddenly heard someone talking behind me, but it was Li Ke.

Li Ke said: "No disease, then Xu Jingzong is now a street mouse, everyone is calling for beatings, his career has come to an end, it is meaningless for you to help him, you can no longer benefit from him, why bother?" Did he offend Uncle Guo?"

As soon as Wang Ping'an turned around, seeing him, he hurriedly said, "Be kind to others, be kind to others!" It's still the same sentence.

Li Ke said with a low laugh: "Well said, be kind to others. You are not sick, this king is also kind to others today, and I helped you!"

Wang Pingan groaned, but didn't understand what he meant.

Li Ke gave him a tug and said, "I heard that monk Xuanzang has some skills, why don't we go and see together?"

Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, the official is living with him, and I can go to see him with the prince."

The two left the palace and rode together towards the Inspiration Temple.On the way, Li Ke said: "No illness, today for you, I have been trained by my uncle Guo, even my father is dissatisfied with this king, and let me go home and study more! Tell me, how should you repay?" My king?"

Wang Pingan snorted, and said, "How...how do I start? Well, my lord values ​​my subordinates, and I am very grateful. If my lord has something to ask my subordinates to do, just say so."

Li Ke smiled and said: "It seems that you don't understand what's going on! Well, I will explain it to you." He paused for a while, glanced at Wang Ping'an, saw that he was really at a loss, and did not seem to be fake, and then said: "Uncle Guo has always disliked me, so there is no need to hide this fact. Anyone with eyes can see it. If you are not sick, you don't have to pretend to be confused, right?"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "You can tell it by yourself, do you still need to ask me? Changsun Wuji doesn't like you, so is it possible that you like him? Calling Uncle to your face and Uncle Guo behind your back, it's clear that you don't like him." I like him!"

If you think this way in your heart, but you can't say it out of your mouth, then you will be so incapable of being a human being!Wang Ping'an said in a daze: "Would you? No way, I've never felt this way before. The eldest grandson seems to be very concerned about the prince!"

Li Ke chuckled, this kid is really cunning.He said: "Okay, then you can continue to think so! Whatever the king says is good, the uncle of the country will definitely say something wrong and must oppose it. So today the king risked being reprimanded to help you say it." Good words, as soon as this king said that he agreed to exile Xu Jingzong to Yazhou, you see, the uncle of the country immediately said no, and changed his mind in front of everyone! This king is not the same as helping Did you keep Xu Jingzong?"

Wang Pingan made a sound, and said: "It turns out that... In fact, the prince doesn't have to be like this, but because of the dismissal, the prince is embarrassed."

Li Ke laughed dryly, and said, "Then how are you going to thank me? I was punished because of you!"
