Chapter 791: Concubine Xiao Shu also knew about Wu Meiniang
Chapter 791 Concubine Xiao Shu also knows Wu Meiniang
After entering Chang'an City, Queen Wang no longer covered her cover and entered the palace from Xuanwu Gate. Wang Ping'an kept sending her to the door and watched Queen Wang enter.
Wang Ping'an waited at Xuanwu Gate for a while, and the general of the Northern Yaya, Xue Rengui ran out in person. After Queen Wang's phoenix driver entered, Xue Rengui pulled Wang Ping'an and entered the garrison, and retreated the general. Xue Rengui bowed to Wang Ping'an to the ground.
Wang Ping'an understood in his heart that Xue Rengui was thanking him for nominating him. He smiled and helped Xue Rengui up and said, "General Xue is polite, why bother? We are our own people, why are you so polite? I feel embarrassed!"
Xue Rengui said with gratitude: "Prince Wang, the young general has been watching the gate in this Xuanwu Gate for many years. This is naturally because the late emperor trusts the young general. Long's kindness is like this. The young general dares to guard it without any effort. But then again, is the new dynasty new? The young general always thinks that he can go out to lead troops and do more for the country. Last time, because of the war, he specially asked Lord Changsun."
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "This time you have fulfilled your wish. Lord Changsun helps. Can't you lead your troops to fight? Moreover, this time, the attack on the rebel king will win or lose. The credit can be made steadily. At that time, a royal edict is issued by the court, and General Xue will be able to defend Mu's side, which is a hundred times more glorious than guarding Xuanwu Gate now!"
It is the early Tang Dynasty, not the middle Tang Dynasty, but the late Tang Dynasty. The generals guarding all directions are not very powerful. It is impossible to say that they are more glorious than guarding Xuanwu Gate. It is better to guard Xuanwu Gate than guarding any place. However, the generals guarding all directions have a great degree of freedom. As long as they are on their own acre of three parts, they will say whatever they say. Even if the eggs are born on trees, who dares to refute that they were laid by hens?
Xue Rengui smiled and said, "That's not right. It's like in Chang'an City, where princes and ministers are everywhere on the streets. When young generals see anyone, they have to kowtow to salute. If they leave Chang'an, it will be someone else who salutes the young general!"
Wang Ping'an laughed twice and said, "If there are so many princes and nobles in Chang'an City, it's so numerous that it's so numerous. If you walk on the street, suddenly a tiles fall from the sky, and people on the street are accidentally smashed and hit ten people, nine of them are all princes and the remaining one is still nobles, so many are too many. It's so difficult for the tiles to be difficult, and it's embarrassing to anyone not to smash them!"
Xue Rengui was stunned and didn't immediately understand how a piece of tile could hit ten people? After thinking about it for a while, he realized that Wang Ping'an was telling a joke. He hurriedly said, "Who said it was not? It would be fine if he just saluted the princes and nobles. Sometimes when he met an eunuch with a higher rank than a young general, he had to saluted him. That would make him feel depressed!"
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "There are not many eunuchs of higher rank than you. Could it be that Shi Zhongchen is here, and you dare not salute him? Do you dare to complain in front of him and see if he beats you? Well, Shi Zhongchen will not beat you, he doesn't have to do it himself, he will let you beat yourself!"
Xue Rengui whispered: "Suang Wang, the young general wants to visit the mansion tonight. I wonder if you have time?" This was quite obvious. This was to give Wang Ping'an a gift.
Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "Brothers, you don't have to worry about this person who doesn't visit. If you are going to war, the expenses will be great. At least you have to prepare armor for your confidants. If you look for the Wei Mansion to adjust it for you, you won't get any good equipment. You can save all your money to buy equipment for your subordinates!"
Xue Rengui said embarrassedly: "That's not what happened? The young general feels sorry..."
Wang Ping'an patted his shoulder with his expression of being a mentor on his face and said, "I trust you very much. General Xue, after you arrive at the front line, you must fight bravely to fight the enemy and make contributions to the country and the emperor. In this way, I will also ask for merit in the court. When talking about you to others, I will also have face. After all, are you recommended by me? Let us join together to fight for my prosperous Tang Dynasty for the rest of our lives and contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"
When Xue Rengui heard this, he admired him. No wonder Wang Ping'an was able to become prime minister at a young age. It is indeed extraordinary. Judging from the great principles of others, he is very skilled. He has made a lifelong contribution to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Who can say this? Only our Wang Xiangye can say it!
Xue Rengui expressed his admiration and even claimed that he was willing to follow Wang Xiangye and work hard. But he was still a little embarrassed. No matter what, he had to repay him after he suffered such great benefits. This is the basic principle of being a human being. He talked about the visit again.
Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Forget it before going to the battle, don't go to the true nature. This way, if you really have this intention, I will not refuse. Why not wait for you to return in triumph and go to my place again. I will welcome you and celebrate the merits by the way. What do you think?"
There is no favor in the officialdom. If Wang Ping'an blindly refused to let Xue Rengui give him gifts, then things would inevitably cause Xue Rengui's panic. Xue Rengui would have random thoughts. Why did Wang Ping'an not want my gift? Why? Maybe it would also cause suspicion and estrangement. Therefore, gifts are not something that you don't want to accept. Things have developed to a certain stage and cannot be taken without taking them.
On the contrary, when Wang Ping'an said that Xue Rengui would be successful and then visit him, he would go to his place to visit him. This means that I will accept you now, and you may not be able to give you much. After all, you have not made a fortune yet, so you will put the gifts on the gifts first. After you come back from the war, you will make a fortune and give me a gift. Can you give me more? I am considerate of you. This is called taking care of the matter first and then collecting money!
Xue Rengui was relieved. He was not afraid that Wang Ping'an had a big appetite, but that he had no appetite. Any general who went to war to return to the court would have to make a fortune. Even if Wang Ping'an had a big appetite, he could feed him. He was afraid that others would not let him feed him. Then there was a statement here, and what was said was not clear, but the most fatal thing!
Xue Rengui immediately stated that as long as he could come back alive, the first thing he did after returning to the court was to sit in Wang Ping'an and chat about family matters.
The two of them were polite, and Wang Ping'an also entered the palace. He went directly to Ganlu Palace to meet Li Zhi, and wanted to tell Li Zhi about what happened today.
He deliberately walked slowly. It was estimated that Queen Wang had finished speaking with Li Zhi and left the Ganlu Palace. It was about the same time that he asked to meet Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was indeed waiting for him. When he heard Wang Ping'an arrive, he immediately announced that he would enter the hall. Without waiting for Wang Ping'an to salute, Li Zhi jumped out from behind the Longshu desk and waved: "Everyone retreats, everyone retreats!"
The little eunuchs and palace maids who served in the hall quickly went out, and no one dared to stay. These days, Shi Zhongchen had been in poor health and did not serve in the hall. Shi Aiguo and Mi Xiaomiao were not qualified to be on duty here for a long time, so the eunuchs in Ganlu Hall appeared in a gap, which was just convenient for Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an to discuss things.
Li Zhi ran to Wang Ping'an and said, "Wujian, the queen just now, and said she wanted to bring Mei Niang into the palace. She was thinking of a way, saying that she would not do anything else, just to make me live a happier life. Is this true? What can the queen do? You think of the solution, why didn't you tell me in advance? Now tell me quickly!"
Wang Ping'an listened carefully to what Li Zhi said. In the first half, he called himself me, and in the second half, he called himself me. This shows that how Queen Wang did things and could not make Li Zhi anxious. In other words, he did not take Queen Wang seriously at all. When he asked himself what method he had, he began to be anxious. This shows a problem: his position as a minister in the emperor's heart is far higher than that of the queen, the queen, the position of a wife!
Wang Ping'an was very happy. He said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, please sit down quickly, let's say something slowly."
Li Zhi said: "Can I not be anxious? I waited for the news and didn't even eat." He took Wang Ping'an's hand and refused to let go, pulled Wang Ping'an to Longshu's desk and sat down together.
Wang Ping'an said: "It's not that I didn't tell the emperor in advance, but that I thought of my method temporarily. After arriving at Ganye Temple, I listened to the advice of the host Lao Ni, and then I thought about letting Mei Niang be a substitute."
He told Li Zhi about the incident, and Queen Wang had already told Li Zhi about the rough process, especially about the substitute, which made it clearer.
After hearing this, Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Those former concubines didn't recognize Mei Niang? This is really strange. It was impossible for Mei Niang to know anyone when she was in the palace. How could no one recognize her? And that old concubine, why did she say that she had a birthmark on her back? What if Mei Niang really had a birthmark behind her, wouldn't it be a big deal!"
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Master, how could anyone not know Wu Meiniang? The key question is, what is the use of recognizing it and what benefits can it bring to them? There is no benefit, but the disadvantages will come immediately. No benefit cannot be up early, no benefit can only be bad. Who is stupid to do this kind of thing!"
After a pause, he said again: "As for the birthmark pointed out by the old concubine, it is impossible to have problems. First of all, Mei Niang may not have that big birthmark. Even if Mei Niang is the only one in the millions, she can still use this birthmark as evidence to say that she is not a martial artist in the past!"
Li Zhi frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out. He said, "The birthmark that the old concubine said is crucial. It can directly prove that this is empty, and it is not the same as Mei Niang. But what if Mei Niang really has it, what should I do?"
Of course he knew whether Wu Meiniang had a birthmark, but he didn’t understand the birthmark proposed by the old nun. Why did he ask?
Wang Ping'an said excitedly, "Your Majesty, as long as you put forward the birthmark, Mei Niang's family will not come out to refute it anyway. My daughter is dead, how could they mention sad things? Moreover, I protect them tightly and will not let them be asked about it. So it is better to use the birthmark as a certificate. As for if Mei Niang really has a birthmark, then that's not easy to deal with? Anyway, the only one who has seen the birthmark is the only one. As long as she says it is different from the birthmark she has seen before, that's fine. On the contrary, it can lead to a comment that Xiao Wu Mei Niang is destined to be with the dead Wu Mei Niang."
Li Zhi yelled, suddenly realized, and said, "This is the same as you said before, it makes people say two words, and it makes sense to say it!"
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Yes, as a testimony, isn't it just a matter of touching the upper lip with the lower lip!"
"Then, the queen will take Mei Niang into the palace in a few days and ask her to copy scriptures in the palace?" Li Zhi asked. When he thought of his meeting with Wu Mei Niang in the palace, and his meeting was open and honest, he became excited.
Wang Ping'an said: "That's natural. It won't take long to do it. At most, it will only take a month. As long as Mei Niang's hair grows out and no longer has a bright bald head, she can enter the palace. Moreover, the emperor can also officially enthrone her a title, such as Zhaoyi or something!"
Li Zhi was itchy and said, "A month is too long, I can't wait, it's better tomorrow... Well, in a few days, let the queen summon her into the palace!"
Wang Ping'an nodded and smiled, "This is what the emperor is in, but it can't be too fast, otherwise there will be rumors. Maybe someone will think of the emperor's visit to Ganye Temple, saying that you have long fallen in love with Master Kong, but the queen brought her into the palace and let's wait for the matter to be cool."
Li Zhi sat on the dragon couch and kept twisting his body. He wanted to go to Ganye Temple again, wanting to tell Wu Meiniang the good news in person. He asked, "How can I let things cool down? If I accept a nun as a concubine, this matter will never cool down. Someone will definitely discuss it. I am afraid that my uncle will intervene. He has always been disgusted with such things, and I am afraid that it will make things difficult for Meiniang!"
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "He would want to make things difficult for Wu Meiniang, but it's a pity that he doesn't have enough skills."
Before Wang Ping'an could come up with an idea, Li Zhi himself came up with an idea. He said, "I have found more work for him these days. The matter of opening the city gate day and night is not big enough. It is better for me to let him parade on behalf of the emperor. Isn't this going to go to Liaodong? The military service is gathering, and I will ask my uncle to go to read the military parade and other things, and preside over the expedition, so that he can't take care of me."
Wang Ping'an raised his thumb and said, "Great, this plan is great, the emperor is wise."
After discussing the two, Wang Ping'an then left the palace. Before he could leave the palace, he just left the Ganlu Palace, and saw a person coming in front of him. It was a small eunuch. The little eunuch seemed to be waiting for Wang Ping'an, and ran over and bent over, and said, "Prince Wang, the youngest is from the palace of Concubine Shu. He has followed the emperor's will. I want to ask you a few words?"
Now Wang Ping'an and Xiao Shufei have already fought against each other clearly. At this time, we cannot please both sides of the front and rear. He glared at his eyes and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, let it go if you have farts. I am busy and don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"
The little eunuch shivered, okay, not too big and had a bad temper. He said, "Prince Wang, have you just accompanied the Empress out of the palace? But did you go to Ganye Temple?"
Wang Ping'an shook his sleeves and said, "What did you say? The voice is too small and I can't hear it clearly." He pushed the little eunuch away and said, "I don't bother to listen. Go back and tell your Empress Xiao, pack your luggage and prepare to move it into the cold palace!"
The little eunuch was shocked and stunned.
Wang Ping'an strode away, and he was funny in his heart. Let's make a fuss. The more happy Xiao Fox makes the fuss, the faster Queen Wang acts, and the closer Wu Meiniang will enter the palace.
