Chapter 782 Li Zhi's lonely life

Li Zhi asked Wang Ping'an everything, but it was not the case before. In front of the civil and military officials in the court, he had to listen to Wang Ping'an's opinions. However, because last night, he had been thinking about Wu Meiniang's affairs, which made him sleepless all night, and this matter could only be done by Wang Ping'an. He thought about Wang Ping'an too much, so he naturally asked Wang Ping'an at the grand court meeting, not deliberately expressing his grace.

Wang Ping'an grinned and thought to himself: "The emperor asked me this, and I guess other ministers would be jealous. Those who want to ask me to do business must line up a long queue in front of my house. Then, wouldn't it be much more inconvenient for me to do anything in the future? The emperor is really confused."

He was not busy answering, but he turned his head and looked at Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji looked at him without squinting, and ignored him and asked him to make a decision. Wang Ping'an had no choice but to say, "I think Lord Changsun's suggestions are very reasonable, I will discuss them!"

Changsun Wuji is even more proud. Good boy, I didn’t love you in vain!

The ministers in the palace were heartbroken. Wang Ping'an's answer was really concise, and he was just right!

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Then let's do it like this. The three provinces congress and draft a charter for me to use a seal. Is there anything else?"

It is naturally a big deal to discuss the big court meeting, and ordinary small things can be done in normal times, and there is no need to raise them at this time. The ministers did not say anything to report, and they did not say anything.

Li Zhi waited for a moment and said, "Since there is nothing wrong, then leave the court. Come with me without illness!" As he said that, he stood up, shook his sleeves and left.

The ministers quickly shouted long live again. After getting up, they looked at each other and looked at you, thinking in their hearts, no, they thought this time they had to fight, and the generals had to break their heads in order to lead their troops to fight, but the emperor didn't even give them the chance to speak and recommend themselves.

Not to mention the generals recommended themselves, even Prime Minister Ma Zhou did not give him a chance to speak. Changsun Wuji handed the memorial to the top, the emperor asked Wang Ping'an, and then he scattered the court!

The ministers shook their heads together. It was too hasty for this dynasty to hold. The current emperor's handling of national affairs is really a thousand miles away from the previous emperor. If this continues, powerful ministers will surely be released from the court.

Wang Renyou, who was standing behind, looked at Wang Ping'an in front, and thought to himself: "This Wang Ping'an is amazing. It seems that it should be fine for him to ask him. But I wonder if Xiao has taken action to ask him? Well, it doesn't matter if the Xiao clan members beg him. For example, how can Xiao clans compare to the Wang clan in Qi County? What does Xiao clan promise to Wang Ping'an? I will give it twice as much as my Wang clan."

He followed the ministers out of the palace, but did not leave, but waited in the carriage, hoping to wait for Wang Ping'an to come out.

Wang Ping'an followed Li Zhi to Ganlu Hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Li Zhi shut down the eunuchs and palace maids. Shi Zhongchen was very good at looking at him. Although the emperor did not tell him to leave, he still found an excuse to go out and did not listen.

Only Wang Ping'an was left in the hall. Li Zhi said: "No illness, how are you thinking about that? Have you come up with a good solution?"

Wang Ping'an said: "I haven't come up with a good idea yet, but I have found the witnesses, they are the concubines in the previous palace..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Zhi was shocked and said anxiously: "How can you tell those people about this? They all know Mei Niang. They were all from the palace before!"

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "This is not necessarily the case. Most people don't know Mei Niang." He told the emperor about what happened last night.

After hearing this, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's it. I remembered that you said to me Wuyan before, saying that money can make ghosts push the mill, and make ghosts laugh. I didn't expect that today I knew another sentence, it turns out that money can make nuns perjury, and make them laugh. It seems that money is indeed a good thing!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "That's right, money is a good thing. If you don't talk about others, just say your father, and your name is Wang Youcai!"

Li Zhi laughed twice, and began to feel sad again, saying, "But there is a witness, how can Mei Niang enter the palace? How can she find a good reason? I thought about this reason all night yesterday, but I didn't think of anything. I was really distressed. It seems that you have to think about it without illness!"

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, before you went to court, at the palace gate, the father-in-law, the eldest son-in-law, wanted to invite me to the house for a banquet, and let my wife cook in person. After thinking about it, it seems that even if I become the prime minister, I don't need to please me as the eldest son-in-law, right?"

"Ah, you said Wang Renyou wanted to treat you to dinner. He wanted to ask you for something, right? He didn't want to go your way and ask for an official position, right?" Li Zhi was puzzled. Can the father-in-law still lack an official position? He was just busy with his work and didn't care about him. As long as the Ministry of Personnel sent the promotion documents, how could he not criticize him? Is it necessary to ask Wang Ping's safety? Could it be that the old man of the father-in-law wanted to go into the door and save money?

Li Zhi touched the forehead and said, "I am just busy with things and I haven't remembered him. Why is he anxious?"

Wang Ping'an clapped his hands gently and said, "Emperor, the problem lies here. You didn't think of him. He is the father-in-law today. You have forgotten who you can't forget him. Isn't forgetting him the same as forgetting the queen!"

Li Zhi exclaimed and said in a daze: "It seems that I haven't seen the queen for a while. It seems that the last time, it's better to be at the throne ceremony. I haven't seen it again since then."

Wang Ping'an curled his lips slightly and thought to himself: "That day has been a lot. I even got back from Goguryeo. For such a long time, the couple of you have never met. You neglected her, and you have been neglecting her for too long. I have forgotten that you have such a wife!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Emperor, I guess the father-in-law doesn't necessarily ask me to ask for an official position, but I want to remind the emperor through me, so that you can see the queen more. By the way, my husband, have you had a new favorite recently, so I scared the queen, so I told the father-in-law?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "No, I haven't summoned my concubines to bed for a long time. I just went to see Xiao a few times, but I didn't spend the night with her. I went to see the child. She gave birth to a little prince for me, which was very pleasing to me."

Wang Ping'an said, "It seems that the queen is afraid that Concubine Xiao Shuzhao will snatch her seat! Your Majesty, you only love Concubine Xiao Shuzhao in the harem. Isn't this to give others a feeling? You don't love Concubine Xiao Shuzhao, but you only love Concubine Xiao? How can the queen not be afraid!"

Li Zhi said in surprise: "No, I don't like Xiao. I went to her place, just to see the child, not her!"

Wang Ping'an said: "But others seem to be favored by others. Moreover, Concubine Xiao is not only favored by the emperor, but also has a prince. Others seem to think that the emperor wants to make her son the crown prince!"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "The child is still so young, how could he make him the crown prince now?" He felt a little depressed when he said this.

The Li Dynasty had never had much trouble with the establishment of the crown prince. Although the prince always had trouble, there was no trouble with the establishment of the crown prince. Li Yuan established Li Jiancheng because Li Jiancheng was the eldest son, and Li Shimin established Li Chengqian because he was the eldest son. Although they did not become emperors in the end, one thing was the same, that was, they were all born by the queen and were all the eldest sons.

But it was not possible for Li Zhi to come here. Queen Wang did not give birth to children, and Li Zhi's eldest son was born in a vassal family, so after he ascended the throne, he did not rush to establish a crown prince. Of course, because Changsun Wuji controlled the government, the big reason was also Changsun Wuji. He had not yet decided which prince to be the crown prince would be more beneficial to him, so he did not allow Li Zhi to establish a crown prince, and Li Zhi did not rush to establish a crown prince, but he still felt uncomfortable.

Wang Ping'an expressed his discomfort and whispered: "Because the queen has no prince, she is afraid of being deposed. This is also a natural habit. I guess the father-in-law is looking for me to find out the news and ask me to persuade the emperor to favor the queen more. If you don't favor her, she will not be born alone!"

If someone else said this, no matter how good Li Zhi had a good temper, he would have to slap him in the face. But when Wang Ping'an said this, he felt it made sense. He nodded and Li Zhi said, "Then I will see the queen more in the future? By the way, you are her cousin!"

Wang Ping'an yelled and said, "It's not accurate. But I wonder, can Mei Niang's affairs pass through the queen? Emperor, otherwise you should meet Concubine Xiao Shu more and be nicer to her, so that the queen will be even more afraid, and the father-in-law will also ask for ministers. At that time, Mei Niang's affairs will turn around!"

Li Zhiqi said: "A turnaround? Even if there is a turnaround, it will not be related to the concubines in the palace. It's too late to object! Alas, it's really a headache. I didn't sleep all night last night. Just thinking about this matter, the headache is even worse now. Without illness, I will leave this matter to you. Come up with a solution quickly!"

As he said that, Li Zhi stood up, patted Wang Ping'an's shoulder heavily, and said, "I trust you very much!" His attitude and tone were like Changsun Wuji and Shi Zhongchen. He had not learned anything else, but he learned a lot of ways to pat the minister's shoulder, especially Wang Ping'an's most used!

Wang Ping'an left the palace, and Li Zhi returned to the harem to take a break.

He did not go to Dongtai, and Wang Ping'an deliberately did not deal with government affairs. In fact, government affairs in the provinces belong to the connection type. The Secretariat does the planning, the Secretariat reviews, and the Secretariat implements it. The planning made by Ma Zhou is unlikely to have major mistakes and does not require review. Changsun Wuji of the Secretariat wished that Wang Ping'an would not be in charge of the affairs, but he would do it for him. Therefore, whether Wang Ping'an goes or not has much to do with it, on the contrary, he can gain a good reputation.
