Chapter eight hundred and sixtieth walls have ears
Chapter 860: There are ears in the partition wall
Li Zhidao: "Shi Aiguo has followed me for many years and has done things safely. If he is sent to Yingzhou, he will be worry-free. The people around me can trust him the most!"
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Then send him! However, he had just died of his brother and his mood might be unstable. If he sent him, he had to teach him what to say in advance, so as not to mess up the matter if he said the wrong thing in a mess!"
Wang Ping'an said, "The fire is refining real gold. Now is the time to test Shi Paiguo. If he can make contributions in this matter, according to his wishes, he might as well give him a title. In this way, he can turn grief into strength and successfully fool Li Ke back!"
Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji came out in unison, but shook their heads together.
Changsun Wuji said: "The title is the grace of the country. How can one be given to a eunuch? Wouldn't it be necessary to get the power of the eunuch? In the long run, it is not good for the country. This must not be done!" He looked at Wang Ping'an with dissatisfaction, thinking that what Wang Ping'an made was a fool!
Li Zhi also said: "Uncle is right. You are not sick. You have always understood what you have done, but why did you come up with such an idea this time, which is contrary to the ancestral system!"
Wang Ping'an uttered, looked around, and said, "The Empress was frightened and was unwell. Why not go back and take a rest?" He pretended to be concerned and asked Queen Wang.
Queen Wang understood that this was to clear the scene. Wang Ping'an had something to say to the emperor alone. She was dizzy and didn't want to stay here. She also sent Shi Zhongchen's younger brother to do dangerous errands, which was very suitable for her.
Queen Wang slowly stood up and said, "It's still brother who feels sorry for her sister. Isn't it uncomfortable?" She squatted at Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, I'm leaving. Let's prepare some midnight snack for you. You won't leave for a while, right?"
Li Zhi frowned. He didn't want to spend the night here tonight, but in front of Changsun Wuji and Wang Ping'an, he was embarrassed to refuse.
Queen Wang begged: "Emperor, I dare not stay alone. The moonlight is deep and I am afraid in the palace..."
"Okay, then you go and prepare for midnight snacks. I and my uncle have discussed good things without illness, so I will go and eat your midnight snack." Li Zhi said a little impatiently. He still didn't agree to spend the night here, just said he just had midnight snacks.
Queen Wang was a little embarrassed, but she had no choice but to take the palace maid Xiu'er, a group of small eunuchs and palace maids out of the main hall. In the hall, except for the three kings and ministers, Wu Meiniang, who was hiding in the back hall, was left.
Wang Ping'an and others all had all been exposed, and then said, "Your Majesty, there are no outsiders here, so I will make it clear. Just as my uncle said, Shi Aiguo is in a state of uneasy now. He sent him to Yingzhou, and he was qualified, but he was afraid that he would not be able to do it. He was afraid that he would have any thoughts in his heart."
Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "What ideas can he have? I trust him so much, why should he have ideas?"
Changsun Wuji said, "It is inevitable to have ideas, so the old minister just said that he should teach him well, and he also enlightened him by the way."
People have different status and status, but they think differently. Changsun Wuji understands what Li Zhi can't understand. If you want to drive someone to work hard, you can't just say that you trust him, especially people like eunuchs. Their ideas are often very special. If you just say that you trust him, he may not be able to repay kindness. If things are not done well, can he still make trouble? Moreover, he is not young anymore, and he will make trouble. If he finds a place to spend his old age, he cannot find him. If he wants to punish him, he cannot punish him.
Li Zhi looked at Wang Ping'an and said, "Then let Wubian teach him? If you don't say it, I can't feel it. Once you say it, I think that this is true, and I have to teach him to accomplish it."
Wang Ping'an said: "Even if he is enlightened, he has to give him benefits. If he loses his business, he will only have a life at most. Since he has no family, he will have no worries. If he really sacrifices his life, he will really be unable to deal with him."
"Then I won't send him there, it's so troublesome!" Li Zhi waved his hand impatiently.
Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji shook their heads together. Why are they so impatient? They can't hide when they see trouble. It's not OK to hide. The trouble is still there and will not disappear by themselves.
Wang Ping'an said: "I just said, can I give Shi Aiguo a title? The emperor and uncle said it is inappropriate. Now I think about it, it is indeed inappropriate. The title cannot be given casually. However, it may not be necessary to give it to me. Just talk. If we don't take it seriously, let him take it seriously!"
Li Zhi said with a thunderous voice and said, "It's okay to deceive him, but Jun Wu doesn't joke and let me lie to him. That's not OK. You have to do this without illness!"
Wang Ping'an grinned and was the worst thing about Li Zhi as a minister. It was that after you made an idea, you had to do it. If this idea was easy, things might not be easy to do!
Wang Ping'an said: "After you, I will do it. If you give him a title, Shi Paiguo is not necessarily keen on it when he is old. However, all eunuchs love something, and all eunuchs are like this. As long as we start from this aspect, we will hit it with one blow and make him obedient."
Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Love money? Not necessarily. Shi Aiguo must not be short of money. Maybe there are many industries outside the palace. Not to mention his second half of his life, even ten lives will not be able to spend it."
Li Zhi said, "Does all eunuchs love money? But I have never seen any eunuch love money!"
Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji thought to themselves: "Of course they won't say they love money in front of you, so they won't ask you for bribes!"
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Eunuchs love money, mainly because they are insecure. Well, this sense of security is because they are afraid that they have no support for their old age. Because they have no children to support them, they leave the palace when they are old and have no one to support them. They will be desolate in their later years. Loving money is mainly for the sake of having money and having a good ending."
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "That's true."
Seeing that Wang Ping'an was justified and well-founded, Li Zhi nodded again, and he nodded, thinking that this is true. The eunuch loves money to be able to support her old age.
Wang Ping'an said: "If we can give Shi Aiguo a son, let him inherit the incense of the Shi family, and promise to give him a title, wouldn't that be enough!"
Eunuchs love to collect godsons the most, and even to collect godsons, but the people they collect are also eunuchs, and few people take godsons belong to ordinary people. Wang Ping'an means to find an ordinary person to be a son for Shi Zhongchen, who can pass on the seeds and inherit the seeds.
Li Zhi said: "Then this is still fooling him! That's right. Just fool him. As long as he can do things well, it will be done. But if he gets things done well and really gets Li Ke back safely, will he really give his son a title?"
Let’s fool Shi Aiguo and then let Shi Aiguo fool Li Ke. After all, if the fooling is really successful, that’s good, but there is a little trouble, that is, I really give Shi Aiguo’s son a title?
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "We just made a promise in advance, saying that we should give, 'to give' and 'to give' are two different things. If Shi Aiguo really does the work, we can send his son to do something, such as being a military aide or a lieutenant. If he really makes military achievements, he will be awarded the title. This is a law that is made by the ancestors. If that person dies on the front line, we cannot say that we have broken our trust!"
Wang Ping'an said: "That's the case. If you do this, you will definitely be foolproof!"
After saying this, Li Zhi said, "Okay, then let's do it like this. Who should I choose to be his son? I'm afraid it won't work if I find an ordinary person?"
Changsun Wuji said, "This is not urgent. Isn't the emperor going out of the palace to hunt? The palace has to do great rituals, so that Shi Aiguo can follow him. When Wuyan is doing rituals, he has to report to you. He meets Shi Aiguo in private, and tells about this matter and then let Shi Aiguo choose one in the army or the accompanying gurus. Isn't that okay? The incident happened suddenly, and he didn't have time to think too much, and he would only be grateful. He picked a son out of his way, and the matter was done. He did not leave any traces, so he couldn't see that we were fooling him!"
Wang Ping'an said: "You can arrange someone in advance to get closer to Shi Aiguo. Shi Aiguo is easily moved when he is losing. So wouldn't he accept that person as his son? It's natural!"
Li Zhi said: "It's so troublesome. Is it necessary to win over patriotism like this?"
Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji said with a head, "It's worth it, and it's not troublesome."
Changsun Wuji whispered: "The eunuchs in the palace may have some... Well, what do you think? You need to win over them so that they will not have any unfaithful intentions. We will not only fool Shi Paiguo, but also spread dust and sand, and bewildered by those who may have unfaithful intentions!"
Changsun Wuji did not believe in ghosts and gods. He believed that Shi Zhongchen's death was very likely done by some people in the palace. If this is true, wouldn't the emperor be in danger? An accident happened once, and everyone thought it was an accident, but there was a precedent for imitation. Maybe next time, someone deliberately caused some accidents and had to eliminate these accidents in the bud.
Li Zhi said: "That's fine. What do you say, just do it! Will Mi Xiaomiao be the chief manager? After Shi Aiguo left Beijing, he will take over the position of chief manager?" For the eunuch who was a little arrogant, he couldn't remember anyone else, and there was only Mi Xiaomiao!
Changsun Wuji and Wang Ping'an agreed.
They discussed things here, but at the same time ignored one person, that is Wu Meiniang in the back hall. In the eyes of the three kings and ministers, the matter they discussed was some conspiracy, but it was still a small matter. If one analyzes it in a few words, it was of course a small matter!
But for Wu Meiniang, it was like a bolt from the blue. She suddenly thought of who she could rely on in the palace and court in the future and who would she be the confidant!
