Chapter 583
Changsun Wuji ignored Li Zhi, he asked Wang Ping'an, "Wang Ping'an, the emperor sent you to govern Qingzhou, are you willing?"

The prime ministers looked at Wang Pingan and smiled, asking this question, how could Wang Pingan say no reason, even if he didn't want to, he had to say yes, and he had to say yes happily.

Wang Pingan showed a joyful expression very cooperatively, and he said: "Of course I am willing, I have no experience in governing the region, and now I finally have the opportunity, I thank the emperor for his cultivation!"

Li Shimin laughed twice, and the prime ministers also laughed with him. Everyone had a great foresight, and Wang Ping'an was not only willing, but also very happy.

Everyone else laughed, but Li Zhi's face became more bitter.He thought to himself: "No disease, why did you agree so happily? At least you pretend to be embarrassed. Maybe the emperor won't send you to leave Chang'an. Even if you leave Chang'an, you have to go somewhere closer. Then Gyeongju is too far away!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Wang Ping'an, step back, go back and pack your luggage, and leave Beijing immediately."

This time Wang Ping'an couldn't happily agree, he said: "I would like to report to the emperor that I can't leave Beijing immediately, my parents have just arrived in Chang'an, and I haven't fulfilled my filial piety yet, please allow me a few more days. Let Weichen accompany parents."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Then I will give you three days to prepare. However, why don't you bring your parents and go to Qingzhou together, so that you can fulfill your filial piety."

Wang Ping'an was overjoyed. When he took office in Gyeongju, he could bring his family with him. That's great. It's better for the whole family to go to Gyeongju than to separate!He said: "My humble minister, thank you!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and told Wang Pingan to leave.Wang Pingan immediately resigned and left the hall.But he didn't return to the new house immediately, but went to the Chongxian Pavilion, hoping to wait for Li Zhi to come back.

After waiting for a long time, Li Zhi came back from Ganlu Hall, his expression was as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, full of bitterness.

Wang Pingan welcomed Li Zhi into the palace and asked, "Your Highness, what did the Emperor say to you after I left?"

Li Zhidao: "I didn't say anything, I just asked about Gu's homework, and asked Master Ma to give questions to take Gu's exam."

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It must be that he didn't answer the question well, otherwise his face wouldn't be so ugly." He couldn't ask what the question was, so as not to make Li Zhi even more unhappy.

He asked: "Your Highness, I am going to Qingzhou. This is arranged by the emperor, and I have no choice but to go. But what are your plans, Wu Meiniang?"

Li Zhi sat down heavily on the chair, and said: "Guzheng is worried about this matter! No disease, what are your plans for Wu Meiniang? She is your niece!"

Wang Pingan grinned, what do you mean?Chau Qing'er is my niece, so I have to be responsible, it has nothing to do with you?He said: "What I mean is, can I let Meiniang and I go to Qingzhou together? Qingzhou is far away from Chang'an, so go there to avoid the limelight. After a long time, no one pays attention to this matter. She It's not too late to come back!"

Li Zhi was overjoyed. He grabbed Wang Ping'an's hand and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then Gu won't worry! Just let her go to Qingzhou with you. With you taking care of him, Gu will be relieved."

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "I will live up to Your Highness's trust. I guarantee that Wu Meiniang was alone when I went, and there must be two when I come back!"

Li Zhi was startled for a moment, then realized that Wang Ping'an was talking about the safety of mother and child.He sighed: "Look at Mei Niang, she wants to enter the palace in the future, and that child... No matter how you say it, he is an orphan, so the title of a prince must be given, otherwise Gu will be too sorry for the two of them." !"

Wang Ping'an hurriedly comforted him, saying: "Your Highness, these are all things for the future, and I will leave them to the minister to handle, and they will be sure to be safe. Just relax!"

Li Zhi sat on the chair and was silent for a long time. He was worried all night and didn't close his eyes. He had been checked by his father just now, and his energy had already run out.He stood up slowly and said: "No disease, you go back and do things well, now apart from you, no one can trust you anymore!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Your Highness, go back to rest earlier, and I will go back to prepare now!" After that, he left the hall.

After leaving the East Palace, he rode back to the new house.At this time, the new house is full of guests and friends, including officials, big businessmen, and Jinshi from the new department, all of whom have come to flatter Wang Ping'an on his housewarming!

Seeing Wang Ping'an's return, the guests rushed forward, flattering words flooding towards him like a tidal wave.

Wang Pingan looked at Di Renjie in the crowd, and saw that his brother had an unnatural expression on his face. He was not as red as he was two days ago. He probably knew the "bad news" about Wu Meiniang. Sister Wu was very kind to him. His sudden death made him feel sad, which even diluted the joy of Zhong Xiangtou.

There are too many guests and friends, there are three to four hundred people. Although the hall of the new house is large, it is also crowded.Wang Pingan cupped his hands at everyone, and said: "Everyone, thank you for coming. Although I have the joy of housewarming, I am afraid that this joy will disappear in a blink of an eye. Well, it should be said that after this housewarming joy, there will be another one." Happy housewarming!"

Everyone was stunned, what does this mean?Hamidi reacted quickly, and he immediately said loudly: "The old man wants to congratulate the prince. Could it be that the emperor promoted you again, so that the layout of this house is now small, and you need to replace it with a bigger one?"

Everyone thought to themselves: "No way, he got promoted again? He got promoted too fast, it's too enviable, it's simply hated!" Most of the people present thought this way However, everyone was overjoyed, not as if Wang Ping'an was promoted, but as if they themselves were promoted!
In the hall, there was a lot of praise, all of them boasted that Wang Ping'an was young and promising, not only handsome, but also talented, with a lot of money in his family, it is really important to look good, to be an official, to be rich, to have money, to have anything What!

Wang Pingan nodded with a smile, and when everyone was flattering to a climax and praising him for being king, he raised his hand and pressed down to signal everyone not to shoot anymore, he had something to say.

Everyone quieted down, straightened their necks, and waited for Wang Ping'an to speak. It seemed that Wang Ping'an was going to show off, bragging about his new official position.Everyone has made a plan. As soon as Wang Ping'an finishes speaking, he will immediately flatter with the loudest voice, and he must shoot before others, so as to show sincerity. Otherwise, there are too many people in this hall. They all flatter, and they can't show themselves!
Wang Pingan slowly said in a low voice, "I have been released as an official, and I am the governor of Qingzhou!"

As soon as the voice fell, the house was full of applause!There was a big businessman who was the most impatient, he put his words to his lips early, and when Wang Pingan finished speaking, he sprayed out!
The big businessman shouted: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!"

In the middle of his shouting, the other guests shouted together: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince..." Although they shouted together, the first half of the sentence was loud enough to overturn the roof of the house, but the second The half-sentence was suddenly lowered, and the sound was weak!

As a majestic duke, he actually became the governor of Gyeongju, which is obviously demotion!Wang Ping'an's current rank is the second rank, and Qingzhou is a small place, a small state, and the governor is no more than the rank of the fifth rank. This time, he has been lowered by several ranks. How big a mistake must be made to be punished? Such belittling!

After the house was full of applause, there was a complete silence, and the hall was terribly quiet. No one spoke, and they all stared at Wang Ping'an!
After a while, Hamidi said: "Your Majesty, are you kidding? Hahaha, the old man laughed, you can continue talking. Are you kidding?"

Wang Pingan shook his head, let out a long sigh, and said, "I went to the Ganlu Palace today, and it was the eldest grandson who told me about this in front of the emperor. The emperor also said that I can only play tricks and not do practical things." , so they want to send me to Qingzhou to do practical things, and they want me to leave Beijing in three days.”

The matter is this matter, but it depends on how it is said.The emperor said that Wang Ping'an could only play tricks, so he was asked to practice for a while, and he was asked to leave Beijing in three days because his parents had just arrived in Beijing, both of which were to take care of him and hope that he would become a talent.But Wang Pingan sighed before speaking, the words were still the same, but the meaning changed, just the opposite!
It's hard for others to ask, but Hamiti has a deep friendship with him, but he can ask, "My lord, why did you send you to Qingzhou? Why?"

Wang Pingan sighed again, and said, "Not only is I going there, but Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan, two new scholars, also want to go there together!"

Hearing what he said, everyone "understood" in their hearts at the same time, this must be the fraud in the examination room and it was found out.Among the new subjects, Di Renjie is Wang Ping'an's sworn brother, so he ranks first, while Qiu Tingxuan is not only his fellow villager, but also the son of Teacher Wang Pingan, with an extraordinary relationship, so he ranks second!
It is obvious that Wang Ping'an did something wrong when he was selecting the Scholars. Not only did his cronies win the Scholars, but they were also No.1 and No.2.As a result, how is it now, it has been found out!The imperial court can’t say that this scientific examination is tricky, isn’t that tantamount to slapping the imperial court in the face, but it can vent its anger. Once Changsun Wuji lost his temper, he sent the three of them to Qingzhou, and they were together go!
There was no sound in the hall, no one flattered, no one said flattering words anymore.Many people even thought: "Wang Ping'an is going to be in big trouble... It's not that he's about to fall, but he's already fallen!"

Wang Pingan sighed for the third time, and said: "I'm too tired and have a buzzing headache, so I won't be with you any more. You can do whatever you want. Come here and prepare the best banquet for everyone. Don't be rude!" After finishing, he bowed his hands to everyone and went to the backyard.

Instead of going back to his room, he went to the side hall and sat there waiting.After a while, Di Renjie walked in quickly, followed by Qiu Tingxuan.

Wang Pingan raised his head and smiled and said, "How is it? Everyone outside has almost left, right?"

Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan looked at each other, Qiu Tingxuan said: "No illness, you want to see what a friend in need is, right? You want to see who will leave and who will stay when you are unlucky?"

Wang Pingan laughed and said, "You two stay!"

Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan glanced at each other again.Qiu Tingxuan suddenly let out a long sigh, and said: "I really don't know how you usually behave in the world, but you have managed to do this!"

Wang Ping'an's smile gradually faded, and he said, "Could it be that they are all gone, even Hamidi?"

Di Renjie said loudly: "Brother, you were wrong this time! None of the people outside left, everyone is worried about you!"
