Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 558 List
Wang Ping'an thought: "This man is really petty. No wonder he can't become the crown prince, and he will die in the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji in the future. How can this kind of heart become a big weapon. Although Li Zhi is cowardly, he is also stronger than the prince. He is much stronger, at least Li Zhi will never open his mouth to ask for benefits just because of such a trivial matter!"

With a smile on his face, he said: "My lord, I am very grateful for your kindness to me, and I will always remember it in my heart. Otherwise, what do you think of my lord's invitation to drink?"

Wang Ping’an’s words are very clear, you can help me, even if I don’t need your help, I still thank you, I invite you to drink, it’s just a meal, I definitely can’t thank you, but if you have something to do in the future, don’t worry , I will definitely help you in turn!

At any rate, they are considered relatives. Even if Li Ke is not very authentic, if something happens to him, Wang Pingan will not sit idly by and will do his best to help him, even because of saving Li Ke's life, he and his grandson It's possible for Wuji to turn his face.

Changsun Wuji will clean up Li Ke in the future, and Wang Pingan will save Li Ke, and if Wu Meiniang cleans up Changsun Wuji in the future, Wang Pingan will also take action to save Changsun Wuji.In the royal family where the favor is as thin as paper, he is already impeccable in doing this, and it is so interesting!
A sentence that will always be kept in mind is the best promise!

But Li Ke was still not satisfied, he said aggressively: "Let's make a note of this drink for the time being, as you repay me for speaking for you. However, the reprimand I received, you can't use a drink, Just perfunctory?"

Wang Pingan laughed a few times, and said helplessly: "Yes, how can one meal of wine be enough to repay the lord's kindness? How about two meals? Three meals are also fine!"

Li Ke let out a sigh, and said: "No disease, don't talk nonsense, you'd better keep it to curry favor with Uncle Guo, but this king is not interested in it." He looked around on the horse, and saw The guards all followed from a distance, then reached into their arms, took out a folded paper, and handed it to Wang Ping'an.

"Look at this, and estimate how many people you can take care of?" Li Ke said.

Wang Pingan took the paper, opened it, and saw that it was a list with dozens of names written on it, followed by family background and place of origin.

Looking at this list, Wang Ping'an found that he knew none of them, but he was sure that these people were all scholars who were referenced by Jinke, and they must have been voted into Li Ke's school by investment bank papers.

Wang Pingan frowned, and said: "Could it be that these people are all famous chefs in Beijing? Your lord, do you want to try their skills one by one? I just don't know which restaurant chefs they are from?"

Li Ke waved his hand and said, "Don't pretend to be confused for me. How could these people be chefs? They are all scholars who took the exam and voted for me. Look, how many of these people do you know?" , when grading papers, can you take care of one or two?"

Wang Pingan groaned, and said: "So it's not a chef, but they are all scholars. Then it's not easy to handle. There are too many people. If you can get a few Jinshi in one subject, I'm afraid it will be an extra one." , not so much, right?"

Li Ke said: "Who let you get all of them, and you don't necessarily have to be Jinshi. There are some people who have studied Mingjing. Few people get Jinshi, but there are many Mingjing. You can take care of three of them. "

"Thirty percent? Then there must be about twenty!" Wang Pingan shook his head and said, "It's really hard for me to be an official. I can't take care of so many people no matter what!"

Li Ke thought for a while and said, "What about the [-]%?"

Wang Pingan still shook his head and said, "There's no way to take care of so many, the lower officials can't even take care of ten, at most three!"

It is enough to take care of three.There are so many princes and nobles in Chang'an City, and the scholars are throwing their scrolls all over the sky. If everyone comes to ask him to take care of them, how much will Wang Pingan have to take care of, three or four hundred?In addition, Chu Suiliang has to take care of, and there is another deputy chief examiner to take care of, it can't be thousands of pieces!
With so many people taking one course, in the next ten or 20 years, there is no need to take another course to get a scholar, and just take enough money at one time?

Li Ke snorted, and said: "Three is three. This king will show you, these three people, you must be selected, and they are all from the Jinshi Department."

Wang Pingan said with a bitter face: "They are all Jinshi? This is too difficult. I have to discuss it with Mr. Chu. It depends on whether he agrees or not."

Li Ke snorted, and said: "Chu Suiliang and Uncle Guo have a very good friendship. If you ask him to discuss it, he will definitely not agree. Then why does the king write this list? Why do you need to do it?"

"Then it's really difficult for me!" Wang Pingan put the list into his arms, thinking: "These days, people who go through the back door speak harder than me, the back door."

Seeing that he had accepted the list, Li Ke smiled and said: "It's so good, you did this for me, and I will definitely not treat you badly in the future. If Uncle Guo makes things difficult for you, you can find him This king is, everything is up to this king to make decisions for you."

Wang Pingan thought: "You should take care of yourself, because you are also worthy of singing against Changsun Wuji? Hey, when did Changsun Wuji feel sorry for me?"

He said: "My lord, I don't understand what you said very well. The eldest grandson didn't make me feel bad!"

Li Ke snorted twice, and said, "Really, I didn't make things difficult for you? Well, when it's difficult for you, you can tell this king that it won't be too late for this king to make decisions for you!"

He secretly said in his heart: "Wang Pingan does not admit that there is a conflict with Changsun Wuji. However, what the concubine mother said should not be wrong. How can the news from the palace be false? But, what exactly did he have with Changsun Wuji?" Contradictions, I should send someone to investigate carefully, maybe not only can catch Wang Ping'an's handle, but also easily catch Zhangsun Wuji!"

The two no longer mentioned the nomination list, nor did they mention their eldest grandson Wuji, they changed the subject and only talked about the lantern festival at night, chatting and laughing, and came to the Inspiration Temple.

To put it bluntly, the Taoism in the officialdom is to punish people, regardless of other dynasties, at least the officialdom in the early Tang Dynasty was indeed like this.Li Ke and Wang Ping'an's faces were full of enthusiasm, as if they were brothers.But secretly, Li Ke planned to thoroughly investigate why Wang Pingan went to Ganye Temple, trying to catch him.

Wang Pingan was not idle either, thinking in his mind that the list given by Li Ke must not be as simple as asking him to win three Jinshi. If there is another theory, he must ask Di Renjie to analyze it and see if there are any in it. trap.

With their own minds, the two came to the Inspiration Temple.At this time, the Inspiration Temple was full of faithful men and women inside and out, all of whom came to see Tang Xuanzang, and Tang Xuanzang opened the altar for several days to explain scriptures to the people.

Looking at the thousands of people, Li Ke said in surprise: "The monk Xuanzang has such a reputation among the people, it is really unexpected! Didn't he just go to Tianzhu and bring back a few scriptures?" , how can it be so famous?"

Wang Pingan said: "Tianzhu is a hundred and eight thousand miles away, and it will take more than ten or twenty years to come and go. It is inevitable to say that it is hard work, and it is normal for the people to respect him."

Li Ke snorted, and said: "Then what should I do, I can't get in at all, and I still want to have a few words with Monk Xuanzang!"

"Why don't we go through the back door?" Wang Ping'an suggested.

Li Ke waved his hand and said: "Is this king someone who walked through the back door? Since there are so many people here, it doesn't matter if you don't see them now. Anyway, you can see them at the lantern festival at night. It's not too late to talk about the scriptures with him at that time. Go in by yourself." Let's go to Chengtianmen earlier in the evening." After finishing speaking, he turned his horse's head and walked away.

Wang Pingan grinned in the back, thinking: "This person is really talkative. He has already arrived at the door, but he insists on not going in. He is a person who went through the back door, so what is the list he gave himself just now? Isn't that just going through the back door?" .” Shaking his head, he also turned his horse’s head and entered the Inspiration Temple through the back door.

After Li Ke walked away, he beckoned to his captain of the guards and said: "This king has tried it out. There is indeed a gap between Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji, but it is not clear how the conflict arose. You send someone to go and find it carefully." Find out how the two of them got so dirty. Find out quickly and report to me."

The captain of the guard asked: "Where do we start, where do we start to investigate?"

Li Ke thought for a while, and said: "The news first came from Ganye Temple, let's start from there to investigate. At that time, Wang Pingan ran to find Li Zhi and said something to him. Who was there at that time? If there is any abnormal behavior, it must be thoroughly investigated, and there must be no omission."

The captain of the guard agreed, and began to think about how to start the investigation.

Let's say that Wang Ping'an returned to the Inspiration Temple, and he sent someone to inform Tang Xuanzang that the emperor ordered him to go to Chengtianmen to watch the lanterns at night, so that Tang Xuanzang could prepare in advance.He went into his room and saw Di Renjie waiting in the room.

Wang Pingan said: "You came just in time, I have something to look for you. By the way, why don't you study in the small manor, what are you doing when you come back?"

Di Renjie got up, took off his coat for him, and said, "I've been restless for the past few days, and I couldn't read the books, so I came back to look for elder brother. Brother, have you finished the subject of the scientific examination?"

Wang Pingan thought: "You have also learned to go the back door, and you are so direct that you even ask the exam questions." He said: "I have come down a long time ago. I knew it last year. Changsun Wuji told me personally."

Di Renjie was taken aback, and shouted: "It's already down? Brother, why didn't you tell me!"

Wang Pingan said angrily: "You are so worthless, you can't answer the paper by yourself, and pass the exam firmly!"

Di Renjie blinked his eyes, and said: "It's not difficult to pass the exam by myself. I still have the confidence, but now I want to pass the exam. This is more difficult, and I can't just rely on my elder brother to work hard when grading the papers." , the little brother has to work hard on his own."

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "The reason I can't tell you in advance is not because I'm afraid that you won't say it out loud, but because I'm afraid that when you usually talk or read a book, you pay attention to that aspect, and people will guess it in the end. cause trouble."

After a pause, he said again: "But it doesn't matter now, the exam will start after the Lantern Festival. In these few days, as long as you are careful and keep less contact with people, you are not afraid of leaking the exam questions. Listen carefully, about policy theory There are two questions in total. One is the new method of disaster relief, and the other is about smallpox, so it must be one of them, and the new method of disaster relief is more likely."

Di Renjie sighed, and said: "So it's these two questions, my brother should have expected it earlier."

"You think you are a god, and you can even predict the exam questions!" Wang Pingan said casually, sat down on the chair, took out the list, and read it.

Di Renjie said: "It really should have been expected long ago. When the elder brother and the younger brother met, he was also a scholar waiting for the exam. But after a while, he changed and became the deputy examiner. With the age and qualifications of the elder brother , why did you become the deputy chief examiner? It’s not because these two questions are related to you, you don’t need to take the exam at all. The result is good, you don’t take the exam, it’s all right, but you passed us in the exam, and became a teacher in the same year .”

Wang Pingan chuckled twice, looked through the list carefully, and made sure that he didn't know anyone among them.

Di Renjie paced slowly in the room, thinking about how to answer. As long as he knew the topic, everything would be easy. For him, it was not too difficult to write two strategies.

Wang Pingan put the list on the table and said, "Brother, don't think about strategies first, just look at the list and see if there is anyone you know."

He didn't directly name the three people, but asked Di Renjie to see for himself.

Di Renjie hummed, sat at the table, picked up the list, and said, "My little brother is not familiar with these people... Well, I know this, I haven't met, but I know who it is."

He pointed to a name on the list, and this name happened to be one of the three names given by Li Ke.

Wang Pingan said: "How can you know each other if you haven't met before, but family friends and elders know each other?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "It's not that the elders know each other, but I have heard about the elders of this person." Pointing to the name of the person, he said: "This person's surname is rare, and his ancestral home is here, so it is easy to determine who it is I heard that this man's grandfather offended Changsun Wuji and was killed by Changsun Wuji."

Wang Ping'an's eyes flickered, and he asked, "What else?"

Di Renjie looked down at the list and thought about it. After a while, he pointed out two people and said: "The situation of these two people is the same as that of the previous one. They are descendants of Changsun Wuji's rival. Are they also scholars? Those who took the exam today?"

Wang Pingan nodded and said, "Exactly. I was entrusted by one person to select these three, and all three of them are from the Jinshi Department."

Di Renjie snorted, pointed to the list and said, "Brother, as long as the eldest grandson is in power for a day, these three people will not be able to pass the exam. If you take care of these three people, don't say whether you can take care of them, as long as you mention it, It is tantamount to completely offending the eldest grandson, the person who gave you this list has no good intentions."

Wang Pingan snorted and said, "As expected, it's really a trap. Guess who gave me this list?"

Di Renjie lowered his eyelids, thought for a moment, raised his eyes, and said, "It must be Wu Wang Li Ke!"
