Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 778
The matter of Wu Meiniang cannot be spread in advance.It should be that Wu Meiniang was allowed to grow her hair first, and then secretly entered the palace and was canonized as a concubine by Li Zhi. When it became an established fact, she would not be afraid of being known.It is not very important to hide it from others, what is important is to hide it from Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and other senior officials.

As long as it became a fact, even if Changsun Wuji found out, there was nothing he could do, he could only hold his nose and admit it, but if he found out in advance, then Wu Meiniang would never want to enter the palace, and would even be killed.

Changsun Wuji's support for the first emperor Li Shimin will not weaken slightly because of Li Shimin's death.The former emperor's concubine became the current emperor's concubine, what is this?Hasn't this become the custom of some barbarians?The important officials of the Tang Dynasty were firmly opposed to this kind of thing.Especially this incident happened to the emperor of this dynasty. If Changsun Wuji knew about it, he would have to oppose it desperately. He would definitely kill someone, without any doubt.

Therefore, Wang Ping'an's plan is to complete the facts first, and then inform Zhangsun Wuji, just like in real history, except that in real history, the people who did this were the parents and uncle of Queen Wang. But now this matter has to be done by Wang Pingan!
Wang Ping'an was in a hurry, and shouted at Ouyang Li: "What's wrong with that, how could you overhear this matter, how did you guard at that time, how could you make such a big mistake!"

Ouyang Li also knew that the matter was serious. He knelt on the ground, not daring to get up, and said: "Master, please calm down. This matter, this fact is really unexpected. It may be that the one at that time was hiding in some dark room, so it belongs to I didn't find it!"

At that time, because he was only interested in eavesdropping on the conversation in the stone room, he relaxed his precautions against the outside world, but now that Wang Ping'an was in a rage, how could he dare to tell the truth, he could only infer that it was a secret.

Wang Pingan said angrily: "This time you have caused a big disaster. If you don't cover it up, everyone will suffer together. Apart from that, who else knows?"

Ouyang Li thought that Wang Ping'an was going to kill someone to silence him, so he hurriedly said, "According to Wu Meiniang, it seems that the news has not spread. If the master is worried, why don't we send a group of guards to pretend to be robbers and go to the Ganye Temple? Killed all the nuns, then set fire to the temple, and we will do it tonight, master, do you think this is appropriate?"

Wang Ping'an scolded: "It's a good fart. If such a big thing happened, the things that could have been covered up have to be found out. You treat everyone else as fools. Hundreds of people died at once. Such a huge case. Who dare not check?"

"Then, what should we do?" Ouyang Li was sweating profusely.

Wang Pingan said: "Prepare the horse, leave the city immediately, and then go to the Ganye Temple. Also, go to the accounting room and bring all the cash. I will send it to the concubines and nuns. It will be a dividend. Now I have something to ask them gone."

Ouyang Li hurriedly got up and went to prepare the horse to collect the money.Wang Pingan rushed out of the Duke's mansion and waited at the door.Ouyang Li and all the guards then came out, hugged him and rushed towards the city gate.

The house leak happened to rain all night, and when we arrived at the gate of the city, the gate had already been closed.Wang Pingan regretted it too late. If he had told Li Zhi about the city gate earlier, the city gate would have been open now, and now it was closed, and he would have to climb the city wall again. This is bad luck.

Finding a place with weak guards, Ouyang Li climbed up the city wall with Wang Ping'an on his back and left the city, while the Ouyang brothers followed with copper coins on their backs.

After leaving Chang'an City, they had no choice but to run because they had no horses. Ouyang Li carried Wang Ping'an on his back, performed lightness kung fu, and ran to Ganye Temple.

Wang Pingan didn't dare to enter through the main entrance, so he went around the side gable and was carried in by Ouyang Li. At this time, the nuns were doing evening classes in the front hall, and there was no one walking around in the temple. They arrived safely at the place where the concubines and nuns lived. .

Wang Pingan did not wait for Ouyang Li to come forward, he went directly to the door, knocked on the door lightly, and said: "Master, I am Wang Pingan, please open the door quickly."

The concubine and nun inside heard this, and the concubine and nun who had received Wang Ping'an before came out, opened the door, saw that it was Wang Ping'an, and wondered: "Ping'an, it's so late, why are you here again? The host didn't accompany you right?" She looked out.

Wang Pingan rushed in, beckoned Ouyang Li and others to bring in the copper coins, and closed the door again.He said: "This official is here to give bonuses to the teachers. This is the first sum. It was delivered to my residence by Xu Jingzong himself, and I sent it to the teachers. Because this is the first time, the next The official came here in person, not wanting to disturb the teacher in front, so he entered the temple secretly."

The old nun snorted and didn't quite believe it, but she didn't ask. They sent money to them, so why should she ask so many things, it's not good.But after all, she was born in the palace, and she understands that everything abnormal is a demon. Wang Ping'an is so late and sweating profusely to send money, there must be something wrong.She asked: "Ping'an little doctor, what's the matter with you, you might as well just say it, we are our own people, if we can help you, we will definitely help."

Wang Pingan laughed dryly, talking to a sensible person is straightforward, and there is no need to beat around the bush.He said: "There is indeed something that needs to be troubled by the teachers. To tell the truth from the teachers, the emperor fell in love with a woman who was the late emperor's concubine before he ascended the throne."

The old nun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "You can't talk nonsense, you have to figure out whether it is the late emperor's concubine or a court lady, this is very different! Some court ladies are not real concubines even though they have ranks. , They didn't serve the late emperor, but some concubines may serve the bed, but they don't necessarily have a rank, which one are you talking about, this is absolutely unmistakable!"

Wang Ping'an said: "It's the official concubine serving the bed. When the emperor was the crown prince, he fell in love with her, but this concubine died of illness. To put it bluntly, she is the Wu Meiniang who was stripped of her talent title!"

The old nun snorted, and said with some doubts: "Wu Meiniang? Who is that? I don't think I've heard of it before! Talented people? There are a lot of talented people in the palace, and now there are seven or eight people living here. If it was the one whose title was stripped, then it was a crime, and I may not have seen it before!"

Wang Ping installed a look of regret, and said: "This Wu Meiniang is a miserable person, she was not favored by the emperor, unfortunately she fell ill and passed away!"

The old nun looked gloomy, thinking of her life experience, that Wu Meiniang is pitiful, so why not herself, otherwise she could be a nun here!

Wang Pingan said again: "However, when the emperor came to visit the teachers and wives in the temple, he accidentally saw a nun whose appearance was seven or eight percent similar to Wu Meiniang. It touched the scene and made him think of Wu Meiniang again."

The old nun showed a smile on her face, and said: "If you say that, I will understand. The emperor wants to take this little nun into the palace, right? It's no big deal, but what trouble did you encounter? This little nun was married before. Human, right?"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, that's what happened, and she came back from Turkic. She once married a Turkic King Khan. After the death of King Khan, she went back to the Central Plains and entered the Ganye Temple. Became a nun!"

The old nun suddenly realized, and said: "That's how it is. If the emperor wants to take her into the palace, it will be troublesome. After all, she is a widow, and she is a widow left by the Turkic people. It is fine for ordinary people to marry her, but if you marry into the royal family , It’s really a bit good to say and not good to hear!”

Wang Ping'an said: "Who says it's not! That little nun is either someone else, or the young master Liao Kong from the monastery!"

The old nun frowned again and said, "No, who is that? There are many nuns in this monastery, and I haven't met a few until now. I only know one host and a few of her senior disciples. Nothing else acknoledged."

Wang Pingan said again: "This matter is a bit troublesome. The emperor wants to take Kong into the palace, but he is also afraid that others will gossip. If someone says that Kong is the former Wu Meiniang, what should we do? It's too ugly!"

The wrinkles on the old nun's face stretched out, and she said with a smile: "Little doctor Ping'an, you came to us in such a hurry, has there been rumors? You want to find some witnesses to prove that Kong is not Wu Meiniang, right? This is easy to handle, if anyone comes to ask us, we will say that she is not Wu Meiniang, what a big deal!"

Wang Pingan finally breathed a sigh of relief. People who have been tempered by Gongdou are not ordinary. After he said the first sentence, he could think of the next sentence, and immediately agreed.He kept saying thanks.

But the old nun's eyes flickered, and she said again: "Little doctor Ping'an, there are two kinds of things in this world, one is death without proof, which is the best, because there will be no future troubles, and the other is that you must have a certificate, otherwise others want to frame you. You can say whatever you want. The matter you just mentioned belongs to the second type. If the old man and the sisters helped you to complete the proof, but lost their lives because of it, and it was made into a death without proof, it would be not good for the emperor. Yes. Because there are no witnesses, others can speculate wildly, and bring up this matter after a while, saying that what we did was perjury, then you will have a hard time arguing, and you will not be able to tell whether it is true or false It will greatly damage the reputation of the emperor, after all, it is not a glorious thing to accept the late emperor's concubine!"

Wang Pingan was taken aback, and sighed in his heart, Gong Dou really trained people, this old nun didn't believe what I said at all, and she even thought of killing people to silence her, fearing that she would be silenced by herself after testifying!It's really amazing, she just didn't give birth to a child, otherwise she is still a character!

The old nun looked at Wang Ping'an and thought to herself: "If a concubine dies in the palace, even if she is abolished, it must be recorded. If Wu Meiniang is really dead and there is no falsification in the procedures, why are you so nervous?" , came to beg us in the middle of the night? Then Wu Meiniang is Wu Meiniang, but I don’t know what method you used to get them out of the palace!”

Wang Ping'an nodded heavily, and said: "Then if someone takes advantage of this in the future and wants to make a fuss to attack Kong, and the officials, please stand up and speak up!"

The old nun smiled, and said: "Sure, sure, don't worry about the little doctor of Ping An!"
