Chapter 226

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, we can plan like this. We will send a secret agent to the grassland to find the Turkic royal family that has been annexed. In front of the messengers, let this declining royal family come out and complain, telling him the pain of being annexed by the tribe..."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Then we, as suzerain, will send troops to avenge him and destroy that domineering tribe! In this way, we will really become famous as a teacher, and other tribes will not resist, after all, they are also Being harassed by that big tribe, my army of the Celestial Dynasty is actually eliminating one harm for them!"

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands at his eldest grandson Wuji, and said, "Mr. Wuji is brilliant!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Where is my cleverness, this is obviously the idea you came up with!"

Li Shimin patted the table and said: "Okay, let's do this, immediately send people to the grassland to find the fallen prince and grandson, and tell him that we, the benevolent and righteous teachers of the Tang Dynasty, are willing to avenge him!"

The three monarchs and ministers laughed, as long as they found a solution, everything would be easy!

After chatting for a while, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling retired from the palace, and Li Shimin started reviewing the memorial again.

Seeing that the prime ministers had left, Shi Zhongchen hurried into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, I have done what you told me to do a while ago, and I have done it!" On the Longshu case.

Li Shimin was taken aback, and thought: "What did I tell you to do?" He looked down at the poem manuscript, and said, "Well, this poem is well written, but I can't remember what you are going to do for a while. !"

Shi Zhongchen accompanied him carefully and said: "Your Majesty, you forgot, the last time His Highness the Crown Prince got two good poems, one of them was written by Wang Ping'an, which was about the white dog and the yellow dog, and I don't know who the other one is, Your Majesty I specially asked the old slave to find it!"

Li Shimin groaned, remembering what happened, and asked, "Did you find that person?"

Shi Zhongchen showed a smile and said: "If you go back to the emperor, this old servant has found it. But this person really makes this old servant speechless. I never thought it would be him!"

Li Shimin was in a good mood, and he didn't mind Shi Zhongchen's trickery, but he said with great interest, "Who is that person? Well, let me guess, it can't be Wang Ping'an, right?"

Shi Zhongchen yelled, with a flattering expression on his face, he said: "The emperor is the emperor, you are so wise, you are not the same as Wang Ping'an! I really did not expect that he could write two poems with very different styles by himself. Tang Liguo, in terms of talent and learning alone, can be ranked No. [-]..."

Having said this, Shi Zhongchen had a look of remorse on his face, he twitched his mouth lightly, and said: "Look at this old slave's stinky mouth, how can I, an old slave, be able to comment on the talents and learning of scholars!"

Li Shimin laughed and said: "This is really strange. Since it was done by the same person, why didn't Zhi'er know about it last time? Didn't Wang Ping'an know that this incident would make him rise to the top? Why didn't he tell Zhi'er about it?" clear?"

Shi Zhongchen thought for a while, and said: "Maybe he doesn't know his own talents, but this old slave doesn't know. Do you want to ask His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "There is no need for that. At the beginning, I had contempt for the person who proposed poetry in the restaurant, thinking that although he had talent, he was not talented. But now that things are clear , but I feel that he knows how to advance and retreat, which can be regarded as humility, much better than those people who have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze beside Zhier!"

I looked down at the poem again, and when I said that this thing is the most lovesick, I suddenly felt a pain in my heart, thinking of the deceased eldest grandson empress.Li Shimin sighed, and said: "Zhi'er is the most similar to his mother, but his temper is a little slower, not strong and decisive..." In front of outsiders, saying that his son is not good, this is not in line with his personality.

Changing the subject, Li Shimin asked: "What is Zhi'er doing recently, are you still looking for Wang Ping'an?"

Thinking about my son struggling to find the person who proposed the poem, but I found out first, I feel a little uncomfortable.It is a good thing that the son is stronger than the father, but the son is much weaker than the father, how can it feel good to be a father!
Seeing the slight change in the emperor's face, Shi Zhongchen knew what the emperor was thinking, maybe he blamed the crown prince for not being up to date, so he had to speak up quickly!Recalling what his younger brother Shi Aiguo said yesterday, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has been studying poetry and books every day these days, and his knowledge has improved a lot. , pray for the emperor!"

"Ah, what?" Li Shimin was taken aback, and quickly asked: "The blood-piercing scriptures, he wants to use blood to transcribe the scriptures, this silly boy, who told him to do this?"

Shi Zhongchen said: "It's Princess Gaoyang." He hurriedly added: "Your Royal Highness must do the same!"

Li Shimin was taken aback, and said: "What's wrong with these children, why do they suddenly want to do such a thing, tell them quickly, don't do this!"

Shi Zhongchen murmured repeatedly, nodded and said: "The princess wanted to prick the blood scriptures with His Royal Highness at first, and His Highness also agreed. But the princess was afraid that the blood pricking would hurt her body, so for the sake of His Royal Highness, she again It is better to invite eminent monks, especially lay disciples, to get together and talk about Buddhism in order to pray for the emperor!"

He thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe it's the thoughts of lay disciples, not too... Maybe it's similar to ordinary people, that's why the princess said that. The princess and His Royal Highness are brothers and sisters, so everything is considered for His Highness !"

What is going on, how can an old man like Shi Zhongchen not understand the truth, but it is not easy to tell the truth when he understands it, he just needs to tell the truth about what happened, and add a few words A word of kindness and it will do!

Li Shimin's complexion sank, and he said: "I'm afraid Gao Yang wants to see those lay disciples, but he doesn't have the ability to give orders!"

Li Shimin is Li Shimin, as soon as he heard it, he immediately understood what was going on, and he was really unhappy!His displeasure was not with Princess Gaoyang, what kind of tricks his daughter likes to play, what to do with the prince, it doesn't matter, what kind of tricks can a little girl come up with!
The thing that made him unhappy was Li Zhi's attitude. Gao Yang asked him to pierce the blood scriptures, and he agreed. When the topic changed and asked him to meet lay disciples, he changed his mind and agreed. Being swayed by a woman really disappointed him.As the heir to the empire, it is unreasonable for him to do whatever a woman asks him to do!

Li Shimin wanted to pat the table, but held back, snorted, and said: "Are you going to summon those lay disciples in the East Palace? Go tell Zhi'er, read the history books carefully, and use history as a mirror, so that you can know the ups and downs, talk about Buddhism and Taoism, Do it in your spare time!"

Of course Shi Zhongchen knew what the emperor was thinking at this moment, but Li Zhi and Princess Gaoyang were raised by him, and he really didn't want the emperor to feel dissatisfied with them. To meet lay disciples, he didn't intend to meet in the East Palace, and he didn't say that he wanted to meet specially. He did meet in his spare time. I heard that he was going to meet at a big poetry and essay meeting. By the way, this is an elegant event. , His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always has his own ideas and measures in doing things, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about him!"

Immediately after changing the topic, Shi Zhongchen said with a smile: "It's a coincidence to talk about this poetry and prose meeting. It turned out to be because of Wang Ping'an. I heard that it was because he defeated the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau with his own strength. Just for fun, a poetry meeting is going to be held. Because Wang Pingan was summoned to Beijing by His Royal Highness, His Highness knows people very well, and his eyes are like a torch, which is really admirable! His Highness wants to take this opportunity to meet with the princess Scholars, also meet the disciples of the lay school by the way, kill two birds with one stone!"

When Shi Aiguo talked about this matter yesterday, Shi Zhongchen didn't pay much attention to it. The poetry meeting took too much time, and there were so many things in his palace, so it was impossible for him to pay special attention to any one.So when his younger brother Shi Aiguo said it at the time, he didn't care about it, let alone asked in detail, but today he found out that this Wang Ping'an was that Wang Ping'an, so he specifically told the emperor.

Li Shimin said, "It's Wang Ping'an again. He defeated the people from the Imperial Medical Office? When did this happen? How come no one mentioned it to me?"

Shi Zhongchen, who is too specific, doesn't know, but he is Linglong, so he naturally knows how to answer, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how does Wang Pingan compete with the Imperial Medical Office? I will ask for you later, but about Wang Pingan, There is another interesting story!"

Then, he told Li Shimin what he had just heard about how Wang Ping'an cured lovesickness.
Li Shimin laughed loudly after hearing this, and said: "This Wang Ping'an is really interesting. Last time he wrote about a yellow dog and a white dog, but this time he said that he was not a scumbag. Apart from being witty, he is actually quite witty!"

He boasted a word, then nodded and said: "It seems that Zhi'er does have foresight, and I am very pleased to be able to call this person to Beijing. His knowledge of people makes me happy. However, this Wang Ping'an does have some skills. Well, the medical skills are not bad, even I am interested in him now!"

Shi Zhongchen was thinking about going to see Wang Ping'an. Hearing what the emperor said, he hurriedly joked, "Your Majesty, seeing that you are tired all day long, my heart really hurts. Otherwise, when this poetry meeting starts , if you are free, you might as well go to relax, let the scholars bathe in the grace of heaven, and secondly, take a look at that Wang Pingan, he speaks witty and witty, maybe the emperor can make you happy for a while!"

Li Shimin was indeed very depressed these days, and was irritated by the troubles of the Turks. Today, he finally thought of a solution to the Turks, so he should breathe a sigh of relief.He said: "It's fine, it's fine to relax. However, don't mention this matter to outsiders. I may not be free, so I don't want scholars to wait in vain and break their trust."

Shi Zhongchen said: "Your Majesty, why don't I go to see Wang Ping'an, see if he has any other interesting things, and come back and tell the Emperor?"

Li Shimin picked up the manuscript, looked at it again, and said with a smile: "This Wang Ping'an, every time I hear about him, I can smile. He is really a lovely person. Well, go and see him. If you have something interesting, come back and tell me!"

Shi Zhongchen hurriedly said: "Old servant complies with the order!" He bowed his body to salute, stepped back, and left the Ganlu hall.
