Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 597
Majesty's speech is actually a form. The magistrate who was sent to the outside world bids farewell to the emperor, listens to the emperor's entrustment, and handles affairs well when he goes to the locality.

The Song Dynasty paid the most attention to this form, thinking it was an important means of strengthening local control, mainly because the rulers of the Song Dynasty were frightened by the situation in the late Tang Dynasty when local officials refused to accept the central government.At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the magistrates were released, and the emperor often invited the magistrates to have a meal in order to show his favor. It was also a helpless monarch in the last days.

However, Wang Ping'an lived in the early Tang Dynasty, and the emperor was Li Shimin.If Li Shimin treats Wang Pingan to a meal in order to show his favor, so as to encourage him, it would be like daydreaming.

Wang Pingan took Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan to the Ganlu Hall, and was scolded by Li Shimin so badly that the three of them were in cold sweat. When Li Shimin let them leave, the three escaped from the Ganlu Hall almost as if they were fleeing for their lives.

Wang Pingan took them to the East Palace again to say goodbye to Li Zhi.

On the way, Qiu Tingxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "When I was at home, I often heard from my father that the resignation of an official is actually the most important part of being an official. If there is something wrong with the response, The emperor will often withdraw the appointment, and the officials will not even think about their future in this life. When I heard my father say it, I didn't feel anything, but today I really feel the danger when I really give the speech!"

Di Renjie also said: "Yes, little brother, I broke out in a cold sweat just now. I thought the emperor didn't send the three of us to be officials, but sent us out!"

But Wang Pingan said with a smile: "You two, this is the first time we have spoken with the emperor face to face, so I don't know the emperor's speaking habits. The emperor scolded us so much that it shows that there is nothing wrong with us. If he doesn't train us, Just say a few words, then when we go to bed at night, we have to think more about it, what is it that is not doing well?"

Qiu Tingxuan shook his head and sighed: "Isn't this a scolding? Could it be that being scolded by the emperor is still a good thing?"

Wang Pingan patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Brother Qiu, my benefactor, the old man must have taught you how to figure out what you want. I don't need to say more about the way to figure it out, but you can't forget it after learning it, just like reading a book." Yes, it’s not good to study hard or to read dead books. You have to learn and use it. If the emperor doesn’t train us, then someone else will train us. Let’s go to see the prince. Of course he won’t train us, but we have to meet again later. Mr. Ma and Mr. Changsun, if their training is changed, then our future... will be in jeopardy!"

Qiu Tingxuan nodded, seemed to understand but didn't understand, but Di Renjie said: "It seems that this is the way to be an official, you have to learn more, what the superiors think, we have to figure it out in advance !"

The three of them talked and walked, and came to Li Zhi's East Palace, and went straight to the Chongxian Pavilion.

Li Zhi knew that Wang Ping'an was leaving today, so he waited here early, waiting for Wang Ping'an to say goodbye to him.When he saw Wang Ping'an came with two new Jinshi, he didn't know what to say, but just encouraged him according to the usual practice.

After encouraging, Li Zhi asked Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan to go out and wait. He left Wang Ping'an behind and said, "I'm not sick, what happened to Mei Niang, is there any arrangement?"

Wang Ping'an was silent for a while, he was about to leave Beijing soon, and it would be inconvenient not to say some things at this time.He said: "Meiniang is not feeling well. I have already prescribed medicine for her and sent her on the road ahead of time. Your Highness does not need to worry about this. However, it seems that King Wu is aware of what happened to Wu Meiniang. During the polo meeting yesterday, They actually sent people to follow..." He told Li Zhi what happened yesterday.

After Li Zhi heard this, his complexion changed drastically, and he faintly turned blue. He stammered a little: "If this is the case, will Li Ke send someone to follow you to Qingzhou? He must find out about this matter. Yes, he won't kill Gu, he won't wait for it to stop!"

Wang Pingan said: "Don't worry, Your Highness. One of King Wu's spies is named Gao Wanquan. He is still with me. I am going to take him to Qingzhou this time. I will keep him under strict supervision and relax my vigilance once in a while."

Li Zhi was puzzled and said: "Since you know that Li Ke sent spies to your home, why do you still let the spies stay by your side and relax your vigilance?"

Wang Ping'an said hesitantly: "Of course you have to relax your vigilance occasionally, so that he can send the news to King Wu. Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as we control the people who are connected, we will be safe. King Wu can only get fake news, and because of fake news If you make a wrong judgment, you only need to catch his mistake and give him a blow, and he will stop!"

"Give him a blow, but how can you give him a blow?" Li Zhi felt a headache, because he had no talent in intrigue.

In fact, Wang Ping'an didn't have much talent, but at least he read too many novels and watched too many movies and TV dramas in later generations. Even if he never ate pork, hasn't he seen a pig walk?

He said: "How to give him a blow depends on the specific situation in the future, but there is one point that His Highness must pay attention to. No matter how the eldest grandson wants to punish King Wu after he is hit, you must stop him. Cry to the emperor, saying that you should remember the brotherhood, you don't want to hurt your siblings."

Li Zhi frowned and said, "Why is that? He's always thinking of plotting against Gu, if he can be hit, and he can be dispatched with the opportunity, wouldn't it be great, so he won't have to worry about it in the future!"

Wang Pingan shook his head and said: "Even if you don't send him out, he will lose his momentum and lose his edge, and he won't be able to stand up again in the future. But if you show your kindness, Your Highness, then the crown prince will be even more powerful." stable!"

Li Zhi thought for a while, and said, "You mean, you want Gu to be a good person just like you?"

Wang Ping'an was used to being issued a good person card, but Li Zhi thought so too, thinking he was a good person.He didn't try to argue, but said: "Your Highness' position as the crown prince will definitely become more secure. Think about it, the more merciful you are, the less the emperor can abolish you, and he will never let King Wu advance to the throne."

"This Gu really doesn't understand. My father would never talk to Gu about this, but every time my uncle talks about Li Ke to Gu, he always tells Gu that you have to hit a snake seven inches. You must not be soft-handed, so as not to be caught by the snake." Bite, why do you want to persuade Gu to be a good person instead?" Li Zhi said.

What Changsun Wuji taught Li Zhi is exactly the opposite of what Wang Ping'an said now, two attitudes towards political opponents.Changsun Wuji was indeed ruthless enough, and Li Ke died in his hands in the end, but it was also because of Li Ke's death that Changsun Wuji lost the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, so that in the future, when Wu Meiniang came to power, he would not be counted. It was too difficult to win over a group of ministers who supported her.

Wang Pingan said: "Your Highness, no matter how you say it, King Wu is the emperor's son. No father is willing to punish another son for the sake of one son. A kind of thinking, that is, if you become the emperor in the future, your brothers will not suffer, but if your brother becomes the emperor, brother-in-law may happen. Not to mention for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, it is just to prevent siblings from happening The emperor will not abolish you in the matter of mutual killing, and even if you make some mistakes, the emperor will turn a blind eye, close one eye, and pretend not to know. The minister said so, your highness, do you understand? "

He made his words quite clear. He was telling Li Zhi that for an old man like the emperor, his son was the most precious thing. For the sake of his son, the emperor could give up or even take certain things seriously.For example, regarding the matter of Wu Meiniang, to the emperor, she is nothing more than a palace maid, and she is also a woman who may not remember who she is. Even if the incident happens in the future and is exposed, the emperor will not pursue it , and no one is even allowed to mention it.

Let the emperor choose between a son and a woman, and he will definitely choose a son.It is not certain how others choose, but the current emperor will definitely choose this way.

Li Zhi suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that this is to hold back the matter of Mei Niang. Wubing, if you don't tell Gu about this, Gu really can't think of it!" He couldn't tell Changsun Wuji about this, so just It's up to Wang Ping'an to give him advice.

Wang Pingan thought for a while, and then said: "Be kind to others! You can't tell if a person is good or not in a short period of time, just like a woman is pregnant. After a long time, it will naturally show up. So your highness, don't take kindness too small. , as long as you accumulate more, your status will be unshakable, like King Wu...he will be a prince at most in his whole life!"

He talked a lot again, Li Zhi couldn't stop nodding, and wrote down what he said.The two parted soon, and they would not see each other for at least a year or two, so the scene was a little sad.

After finishing what he needed to say, Li Zhi asked Shi Aiguo to take out a large box of valuables, which were regarded as gifts for Wang Pingan, and the eunuch moved them to the gate of the palace so that Wang Pingan could take them away when he left.

After bidding farewell to Li Zhi, Wang Pingan went out of the hall to take Qiu Tingxuan and Di Renjie, and then went to the West Terrace to meet Ma Zhou.Ma Zhou didn't say much, but wrote a fan for Wang Pingan as a souvenir.Afterwards, the three of them left the palace again, went to Shangshu Province, and bid farewell to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji gave the same instructions, and he also brought out many gifts, some from Mrs. Changsun and Li Yiren.During the polo meeting yesterday, he specially asked his wife to talk to Li Yiren, to be more affectionate to the little princess, and said that he would give Wang Pingan some gifts in Li Yiren's name.The little princess's gift came from him, doesn't it prove that his uncle has done a good job.

Chu Suiliang, Fang Xuanling and others also came to see him off, and everyone had gifts.Wang Pingan received a circle of gifts and had to hire a carriage to pull these gifts.

I thought it would be all right, the three of them left the city and planned to find the Wang couple, but unexpectedly, there were countless people waiting three miles away from the city, all of them had gifts, and all of them were for Wang Ping'an to see him off come!
