Chapter 230 The Poetry and Essay Conference was held

Li Shimin asked a series of questions, puzzled Shi Zhongchen's question. His alcoholism disappeared when he swept the floor. He quickly knelt straightened and thought to himself: "What's wrong with me? I actually lost my etiquette. Fortunately, the emperor did not blame me, and gave me some old face!"

After wiping the sweat, Shi Zhongchen grunted a few times before frowned and said, "When the emperor said, I'm not asking. I've seen such dilapidated houses before, so I didn't take them seriously. I don't know which tribe the child belongs to!"

Li Shimin said angrily: "It's true that drinking alcohol will make things happen. After drinking two sips of wine, you actually missed my major affairs. What should you blame!"

Shi Zhongchen was shocked. He didn't know that this was discussed by the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty. He was a eunuch who would not ask about such a military matter. How could he know that Li Shimin was about to find a fallen prince of the Turks. In order to find such a person, he sent all the secrets to the grassland!

Without waiting for his answer, Li Shimin immediately said, "It's in Inspiration Temple, right? He immediately ordered someone to surround Inspiration Temple... No, he sent someone to secretly follow him. First, he wanted to find out the origin of the Turkic boy, and second, he wanted to find out whether he had any contact with the grassland now!"

Shi Zhongchen hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll do it now!" He got up and was about to run out of the palace.

"After proving it, give it back quickly!" Li Shimin said again: "Also, why did Wang Ping'an accept him as his apprentice, why did he brew strong wine? Is this wine sold to the grassland? What's more, you have to understand."

As soon as Shi Zhongchen was halfway through the run, he quickly turned around and said, "Yes, I'm going to secretly investigate and investigate, so I will definitely not miss the emperor's affairs again!" He was turning around and about to run outside the hall.

Just then, Li Shimin said: "This Wang Ping'an is very lucky. A blessed person doesn't have to be busy. His blessing seems to be quite good. Isn't there a poem in a few days? I will go and see it when the time comes, but don't tell me it for now!"

Seeing that the emperor did not mean to blame him too much, Shi Zhongchen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Wang Ping'an is indeed a blessed person. The emperor went to see him specially. Of course, his blessings are quite good. This was accumulated by his ancestors in ten lives!"

Seeing that the emperor had no other instructions, he turned around and ran out of the palace to send an order to order the imperial guards to do business.

Temple of Inspiration.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the front yard, Wang Ping'an went back to the Zen room in the back yard and studied the brewing method of strong wine with Wu. Wu explained the brewing method in detail. Wang Ping'an recorded it on paper. He planned to cover this method for a few years first, and after earning enough money, he would disclose the secret method. There was no hurry.

After Wu finished speaking the secret method, he asked, "Young Master Wang, I heard that you will go to Qujiangchi in a few days to hold a big poetry meeting. Can you take us mother and son to see it?"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Of course, what's the problem? If you are willing to go, then let's go together!"

Wu thought for a while and asked, "That Lord Shi in the palace seems to have a good relationship with you. Will he support you?"

"That's not necessarily true. He may not be able to take time out in the palace." Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "Do you want to make more friends with big people? To be honest, this big person in Chang'an City is not very easy to talk to. Just look at me, it's not a small name, but he has only been summoned by His Royal Highness once, so His Royal Highness ignores me again!"

Wu called her son, hugged her shoulders, and said, "Your kindness and you will eventually grow up. It is always good to let him see the big scene!" She pressed her son and said, "Your Majesty is willing to accept you as your disciple, so why don't you pay your respects to your mentor!"

Wu Youren knelt down obediently, kowtowed to Wang Ping'an eight times, and shouted: "Advisor Wu Youren, pay homage to his mentor."

Wang Ping'an laughed a few times and thought to himself: "You have never been willing to say your real name. You have only traded with me before. No matter what you say to repay kindness, you are talking about the future, and there is nothing at all. This time, I found that I recognized the eunuch leader in the palace, so I respected me and wanted to become a disciple. It is really realistic to do this in life!"

But it’s right to think about it. Only realistic people can make the most use of reality. Wu is so smart and capable, maybe he will really take his son back to the grassland in the future and do something exciting!

Wang Ping'an reached out to help him and said, "I'm free. We'll be a family in the future, so there's no need to be so polite!" He helped Wu Youren up, but he didn't ask the apprentice's name. He just said a lot of encouragement, so that Wu Youren could do his best and make a career.

Seeing that Wang Ping'an was very reasonable, even though he accepted his son as his apprentice, he still did not ask about his identity to avoid making things difficult for him. Wu was really moved and did not thank him for his kindness. She did not flatter her and did not talk to her skills. How would she repay her in the future? It depends on her actual actions!

Three or five days later, something beyond Wang Ping'an's surprise. Although his reputation had already resounded throughout Chang'an and more and more people were supposed to seek medical treatment, the fact was just the opposite. Somehow, the number of people coming to Linggui Temple suddenly decreased.

The second day, there were the most people, nearly 20,000 people, but the third day was not the case, only eight or nine thousand people came, while the fourth day only more than one thousand people came. On the fifth day, it was the most exaggerated. There were only three people outside the temple, one was Zhao Bi, the other was Lu Xiuzhi, and the other was Qiu Tingxuan, who had not shown up for a long time!

As soon as the three of them entered the temple, Zhao Bi said in surprise: "Wujian, you didn't offend any big shot, right? Why did the Inspiration Temple suddenly become deserted and become the same as before?"

Lu Xiuzhi also said: "After we entered the yard, we met many big men at various intersections leading to the temple, one by one, and even came up to cause trouble for us. If we hadn't mentioned the name of the prince-consort of the house, we would probably not have been able to get in this time!"

Wang Ping'an was shocked. No wonder the temple was so abnormal these days. Someone was blocking the road outside and preventing the people from coming! He said: "I didn't offend anyone. At most I offend the Imperial Medical Office. But they don't seem to have such a big force, and they can actually send people to block the road!"

Zhao Bi asked again: "Aren't you anyone in Zuowu Guard? What did they say?"

Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "Three days ago, someone from Zuo Wuwei said there was something important and transferred my entourage. By the way, I have a child in my family who is also named after Zuo Wuwei. He is the lowest-level military officer, and he was also transferred to it, saying that he has important official duties. It has been several days since he was there and has not come back. I thought it was a normal official business, so I didn't think much about it..."

Qiu Tingxuan had a lot of experience in dealing with things. He heard him say this and said, "That must be something wrong. Maybe someone wants to attack you, so he transferred the guards around you. However, this matter is quite strange. Not to mention whether you offended any senior official, but since that person can have such great power, if he wants to attack you, it is probably not necessary to make such twists and turns?"

Wang Ping'an remained silent. He really couldn't remember who had offended any big shot, and even if he offended it, it didn't matter. He had been summoned by the prince. He was considered a person with a backer. Who dared to do so hard for him? Isn't he afraid of offending the prince?

Zhao Bi said, "I think this matter is easy to resolve, so there is no need for us to guess here. The poetry and prose meeting will be held tomorrow. The three of us are here today to make a final decision with Wubian. Once the conference is held tomorrow, we will see the prince consort. If you have any questions, I will do it, and that's all!"

"That's true!" Wang Ping'an sighed. If it really doesn't work, then he will go to find Yuchi Gong. It is estimated that Yuchi Gong should return to Chang'an at this time. No matter who he offended, Yuchi Gong will be able to settle it for him, so there is no need to worry too much.

Lu Xiuzhi told him in detail about the process of the poetry and prose. After hearing this, Wang Ping'an was amused and cried, and said angrily: "I said, two brothers, are you holding a poetry and prose, or are you going to meet with a foreign mission? Why did you get all the people from the foreign countries? Why are they willing to come?"

Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi looked happy on their faces. Zhao Bi smiled and said, "This is really strange. You said that we, the people of the Central Plains, did not invite people from the foreign countries, but those people from the foreign countries came to us and asked for invitations, saying that we wanted to see the romanticism of our Central Plains scholars, and that we would send people from their country to take the Jinshi exam!"

Lu Xiuzhi also smiled and said, "It's really new to people from foreign countries who can come to our Celestial Empire to take the exam!"

Wang Ping'an didn't think there was anything strange. He was just a person like the sentencing Tang envoys to come to China to seek fame and fame, and then return to China, and he could become a high-ranking official or even a marquis with this diploma!

Qiu Tingxuan was not as excited as the two of them. He shook his head and said, "This poetry and prose event has caused too much trouble. Too much is worse than too much. If there is any storm, it will be a loss!"

The four of them didn't say anything else. Anyway, it didn't matter what Wang Ping'an was, and Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi were too excited, so they didn't care about many other things. Only Qiu Tingxuan kept shaking his head, as if he would disagree with poetry and prose. The scene was really too big!

Preparations were made in advance, although it was tedious, but Wang Ping'an didn't have to do much. After the four of them spoke for a while, they parted. Wang Ping'an just wondered who was trying to make things difficult for him!

At the fourth update of the next day, Zhao Bi and others came again, called Wang Ping'an, and took a car to Furong Garden in Qujiangchi with him. Wang Ping'an brought all his family with him, and even brought Hui Zheng and the two monks in trouble with him, taking them to open their eyes and see them for a long time!

A fleet of carriages and horses left the Inspiration Temple and rushed to Furong Garden. After a short while of walking, we arrived!

Stopped the car outside the park, Wang Ping'an got out of the car, looked into the park, and only glanced at him, he shouted, "Everyone, Brother Zhao, Brother Lu, it's too much, what are you? Have you wrapped the entire garden?"

I saw a small bridge and flowing water built in Furong Garden. Not only that, the garden also used unskinned pine branches to build hundreds of flower sheds. The flower sheds were full of blooming flowers. I don’t know which method was used, but they were planted on the roof!

All of these are not counted. Each flower shed has newly opened a stream before. The stream water is drawn from Qujiang Pond. On the open space surrounded by the flower shed, cranes, peacocks, sika deer, and rabbits are actually raised freely. I don’t know where I got two little camels, and they all fed leisurely in the open space. It seems that life is pretty good!

What you want is this effect, what you want is to surprise others!

Zhao Bi laughed and said, "This scene cost me and Brother Lu 100,000 yuan. It is unprecedented. I dare to guarantee this. No one will come later. To put it less, within a hundred years, the two of us will never meet the two of us who dare to spend money again by the Qujiang Pool!"
