Chapter 804 Wang Ping'an insists on justice

Wang Ping'an and the other two immediately entered the house. Changsun Wuji closed the door and the four of them sat down around the table. Changsun Wuji sat on the bed, while Wang Ping'an and the other three sat on the stool.

Changsun Wuji looked at Wang Ping'an and said softly: "Wujian, have you accompanied the Queen to Ganye Temple? What is the Queen here to do, but is she asking for a child?"

Wang Ping'an's heart was pounding. He did not answer immediately. Instead, he passed Changsun Wuji's words in his mind several times, thought it through, and then answered. He said: "Reply to the words of my uncle, the queen came to Ganye Temple with her nephew, but she did not burn incense specifically in front of the Buddha, nor did she say that she was asking for her child. She just didn't know if she had any requests in her heart."

Changsun Wuji nodded softly and looked at Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang, wanting to hear their opinions.

Fang Xuanling said: "The queen has no son, which is a heart disease. The more she is, the less she likes to be mentioned. Even if she asks for a son, she probably has to ask for it privately and will not ask for it in front of others, so as not to be spread and be laughed at by others."

Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji nodded. This is the same as having a sick and jealous treatment. Some people don’t like to be told about their shortcomings. The higher the status of a person, the less they like to say others’ shortcomings. For a woman, Queen Wang’s status has reached its peak, and the queen has no children, which means she cannot become the empress dowager in the future, so it is normal for her not to let others know that she is sad.

Chu Suiliang asked, "Not sick, the Empress must have met those former concubines, but what abnormal behavior did she do?"

They didn't ask about "Little Master Lekong" and killed Wang Ping'an, Wang Ping'an wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. Even if the other party asked, he would pretend to "finally" remember it and try his best to talk about Kong becoming the queen's substitute.

Wang Ping'an said: "This is an abnormal behavior. As a minister, it is hard to discuss the emperor, but the Empress did make a mistake. When she saw those former concubines, she actually cried. On the way back to the palace, there seemed to be crying in the car. However, I did not dare to comfort me and could only pretend that I didn't hear it!"

If it were them, they would pretend not to hear it. Even if they knew that the Queen Wang was sad, they would not dare to comfort me. This was not a question of good intentions or bad intentions, but a question of etiquette. For the priests, there was something that the superiors didn't want people to know. For the ministers, they should take the initiative to avoid it, and they should not even ask questions.

Changsun Wuji said: "Wujian, the matter of the Empress Ganye Temple is quite sudden. Moreover, the attendants and palace maids in the palace have always been messing around. They will only make a mess in private, but if they really ask, they will be mysterious and unwilling to say it. Why did the Empress suddenly come to Ganye Temple? Do you know the inside story?"

Although Changsun Wuji sent someone to the palace to inquire about the news, some things were as he said. The people in the palace always acted like "I know everything, but I don't say it", so they were anxious and couldn't ask anything. If there was enough time, it was still possible to ask it.

Wang Ping'an knew very well that such a thing would be spread sooner or later. If he didn't tell him, it would be bad. It would be better to just skip Wu Meiniang's story and just say something explicit.

Wang Ping'an said: "If you want to say that the Empress suddenly came to Ganye Temple, my nephew really knows the reason. My uncle asked me, and he really asked the right person!"

The three prime ministers became nervous when they stood up, looked at Wang Ping'an together, and said in unison: "What's the reason? Tell me quickly!"

Wang Ping'an said: "It is said that I didn't really see this, but the Empress was originally whispered. It is said that Concubine Xiao personally went to the Empress's palace and still carried the little prince. Somehow, she made the Empress very angry. It happened that I was in the Ganlu Palace at that time, and the little eunuch came to me and asked me to treat the Empress, for fear that she would faint from anger. Isn't that a big deal?"

The three prime ministers looked at me, and I looked at you, thinking in their hearts: "As expected, it really has something to do with Concubine Xiao Shu, and it also has something to do with the little prince Li Sujie."

Wang Ping'an continued: "Although some words were not clear, I went to the Queen's place and could see that it was probably related to the little prince. The Queen was so angry that she almost fainted. Although she had no major problems, she coughed and couldn't get angry. She really struggled for a long time."

Changsun Wuji had a premonition that the truth of the matter was about to be revealed. He asked, "Then the queen came to Ganye Temple, right? Can you be sure it was because of Concubine Xiao Shu and the little prince? It's certain, is it certain?"

Wang Ping'an pretended to think about it and said, "But it was not direct, because the Empress did not mention the matter of Ganye Temple at that time, but seemed to be asking the Emperor for complaints, so I accompanied her to see the Emperor. But at that time the Emperor was getting angry, so the Queen did not go in immediately."

He paused and then said again: "The emperor was getting angry with Concubine Xiao Shu. The attendant and the palace maid who were serving in the Ganlu Palace heard it, but no one could tell what it was. It must be that Concubine Xiao Shu and the emperor said something, but the voice was not loud when he said it. Later, the emperor got angry and the voice came!"

The three prime ministers came out together, and they were almost certain now that what Concubine Xiao Shu and the emperor said at that time must be the matter of becoming a crown prince.

This is what happens in this world. They are not afraid of anything else, but are afraid of preconceived ideas. They believe that it is the matter of establishing the crown prince, so they try their best to associate various clues into the matter of establishing the crown prince. They never expected that Concubine Xiao went to talk to the emperor about Wang Ping'an's private entry into the harem. The emperor was angry because he was afraid that Wu Meiniang's affairs would be exposed. No matter how smart they were, they could not have thought of this.

Changsun Wuji couldn't wait to ask, "What did Concubine Xiao Shu and the Emperor say, have you heard?"

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "I didn't hear that my nephew was with the Empress outside at that time. However, after Concubine Xiao came out, she looked at the Empress with a gloomy face with her eyes squinted, without caring about the etiquette, which made the Empress very angry. When I went in to see the Emperor, the Emperor talked about the intention of letting my uncle go on military parade on behalf of the emperor. Then the Empress entered the hall and talked about the Ganye Temple, saying that she was praying for the Emperor. The Emperor naturally agreed, and then the Empress withdrew and I came out too."

He said the order of the whole incident in a confusing way, not mentioning Wu Meiniang at all, but only talking about the palace battle between the queen and Concubine Xiao, and implying that Concubine Xiao had the upper hand in this palace battle.

But there was a loophole in his words, that was, Li Zhi said about the military parade of the emperor. It was not what Queen Wang said directly after seeing the emperor, but what Queen Wang said after returning from Ganye Temple.

What are the three prime ministers? They don’t know some things, so Wang Ping’an can say anything, but they know some things. It will be difficult for Wang Ping’an to get away with it again.

Changsun Wuji immediately heard something wrong with this matter. He asked, "Wujian, are you saying that the emperor wants me to parade on behalf of the emperor? Is it the day before the emperor Ganye Temple? I told you?"

Chu Suiliang and Fang Xuanling also looked at Wang Ping'an solemnly, waiting for his answer.

Wang Ping'an uttered, thinking: "Oh no, I made up a loophole just now. Such a tiny loophole was caught immediately. It seems that you have to be very careful when making up things in the future. These three old prime ministers are not easy to fool!"

He nodded and said, "Yes, I said it in advance, but I just mentioned it. Of course, my nephew dared not talk about such a major event. After accompanying the queen from Ganye Temple, the emperor formally proposed it and hinted that my nephew should tell you about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room was silent for a moment. Then Changsun Wuji clapped his hands, spread out his hands, and looked at Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang. The two prime ministers were on the verge of their heads. Things were completely certain, it was the matter of establishing a crown prince!

Wang Ping'an tilted his head and asked, "What, but my nephew doesn't know what's going on, so I'll ask my uncle to explain."

Changsun Wuji yelled and said, "You are not a fool. Even if the emperor has not said it clearly, can you still guess it!"

Chu Suiliang also said, "No need to pretend, there is no outsider here, so put away your tight-lipped trick! Is the emperor going to establish a crown prince? Do you want to establish Concubine Xiao Shu's son Li Sujie as the crown prince? This is a big deal. If you know something, you must not hide it. You must tell it clearly!"

Wang Ping'an was shocked. His surprise was not pretending, but really surprised. Why did the three of them think things wrongly, and they were ridiculously wrong, and they actually thought about the matter of releasing the crown prince?

Wang Ping'an said: "You can't guess such a big thing, right? The emperor has never revealed any words, and the Queen has never asked me to tell me!"

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "The Empress has never said it, but the father-in-law invited me to his house for a banquet, and the wife of Wei personally cooked and made a few good dishes for me! Could it be that they were paving the road in advance, or wanted me to help me?"

Chu Suiliang said casually: "Of course I want to ask you for help. They want to find out the whisper from your mouth!" After saying that, the three prime ministers blinked together. What are they doing now? Isn't they just trying to get Wang Ping'an's whisper? It's exactly the same as what Duke of Wei did!

Changsun Wuji's expression became extremely solemn. He asked, "Wujian, do you say, if you ask the emperor to make suggestions, are you willing to make suggestions and make Concubine Xiao Shu's son the crown prince?"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Good guy, I'm forcing me to stand on the team now! But this team is very good. Judging from your appearance, I want me to stand in the queen's team. After all, the queen is my cousin. But I'm not stupid when you slip. As long as I stand in the queen's team, you will have to force me to repair Xiao Shufei and treat me as a knife, so I won't use it as a weapon for you!"

Wang Ping'an thrust his waist and said, "As a subject, of course, we must take the emperor's meaning as a criterion. The emperor said that whoever we make the crown prince should support us, we should support us. There is nothing to hesitate about!"
