Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 652
Before Li Ke saw this letter, he first learned roughly from the letters of He Lu's two staff members that Wang Ping'an might have raised an outsider, but He Lu's staff did not check it out at the time, they were just guessing.But now he saw Wu Meiniang's letter, there was no sign that Wang Ping'an had a concubine, just from the surface, it was just an ordinary letter from home, how the wife missed her husband, that's all.

But preconceived, Li Ke had the idea of ​​Wang Ping'an raising a concubine in his heart, and after reading Wu Meiniang's letter, he naturally thought that this was the truth, and it was a fact that had been verified. He had already released the news to maliciously slander Wang Ping'an. Character, now that he has the evidence, he naturally refuses to let go, and of course he will have to make a lot of trouble.

Li Ke put the letter into his bosom and ordered his horses to be prepared. He went to the palace in person and asked to see his mother Concubine Yang.He couldn't see his father and emperor, but seeing his mother and concubine was not too difficult, so he just found a reason and entered the palace.

When he came to Concubine Yang's palace, Li Ke took out the letter and let Concubine Yang read it, and told Concubine Yang the news from Qingzhou.But he didn't say it was conjecture, but directly told the concubine mother that this is a fact, he sent thousands of cattle to check it out, and Wang Ping'an was sorry for the royal family.

After reading the letter, Concubine Yang was noncommittal and did not express her opinion immediately. Instead, she sat in front of the Buddha statue and recited Buddhist scriptures softly.

Li Ke waited for a long time, a little impatient, and asked: "Mother, this is a great opportunity to bring down Wang Ping'an, and my son doesn't want to let it go. Do you think I should show this letter to Yiren first, and then let me She went to cry to her father?"

Concubine Yang opened her eyes and said slowly: "It's useless. It might be useful for you to find someone else, but it is definitely useless to find Yiren. On the contrary, not only will she not go to your father to cry, but she will have doubts about you." , and even go to her brother and uncle, saying that you deliberately sow dissension, if others don't say it at that time, it is Changsun Wuji, how he will deal with you, you should figure it out yourself."

Li Ke was taken aback, and said, "Why? My son doesn't understand. Is it possible that Yiren can endure this kind of thing? Wang Ping'an didn't become a son-in-law, so he dared to act recklessly. After Yiren passed through the door, I don't know how much he would suffer. How could she not Resent Wang Pingan?"

Concubine Yang looked at her son, sighed softly, and said: "Why, because mother is also a woman, how can you not know women's minds? Yiren has already abolished a son-in-law before, and if you abolish another one, it will feel bad to you at most. This younger sister is very unlucky, she encounters unkind people every time, but for her, this is a terrible thing, maybe she can't stand the blow, and she will hang herself. Tell me, will she hide this from you? Father? Others can say this, but she can't!"

Li Ke grunted, and thought: "A woman's mind is really difficult to guess, what the concubine mother said seems to be the truth." He said: "Then Yiren can swallow this breath, she doesn't seem to be able to bear this kind of grievance people!"

Concubine Yang shook her head and said: "What if she can't bear it? Besides, she doesn't need to bear it. As long as she gets married and becomes the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, she can handle even Wang Ping'an, let alone clean up an outer room." It can be cleaned up. Besides, there is no need for her to do anything, as long as she hints, countless people will rush to clean up the outer room for her. Not to mention her, even the mother is in the palace, what can she want to do? , do you still need to do it yourself?"

Li Ke groaned, he really has no experience with palace fighting, not only is he not clear about the methods of women fighting women, he is not in the mood to study it, but when the concubine mother said this, he thought of his own family's affairs again, as if It was indeed very easy for his princess to clean up his concubine, and she could do it quietly, and I often only found out afterwards.

He asked, "Then, who should my son ask for this letter?"

Concubine Yang looked at her son, beckoned him to sit beside her, patted the back of his hand lightly, and said, "Ke'er, you are still not experienced enough, those staff in your mansion are too useless, even This kind of thing can't give you a good idea."

Li Ke said angrily: "Mother and Concubine is too right. Those staff members are useless one by one. Except for the bad boss, they will not come up with any other ideas. If there is someone like Wang Pingan by my side, I won't be able to do it." When things started, they were hindered everywhere, and now it's hard to even see the emperor's face!"

Concubine Yang said: "It is impossible for Wang Pingan to rely on you. You must be clear about this, but it is not difficult to get benefits from him. In the court, if you want people to listen to you and do things for you, it is nothing more than two things." , either make people want something from you, or be jealous."

"This son is quite clear, but how to get Wang Ping'an to ask for something is too difficult. It can only be a taboo, so the son wants to write something in this letter." Li Ke agreed with the concubine mother's statement, But I don't know how to use this letter.

Concubine Yang said: "If you want to make a fuss about this letter, the best way to do it is to not write a word, a blank paper. Others don't feel anything when they read this blank paper, but Wang Pingan reads it, and I'm sure he will be terrified!"

Li Ke tilted his head and said, "A blank piece of paper? Why, my son doesn't understand!"

Concubine Yang put the letter into an envelope, put her hand into Li Ke's arms, and said: "Don't mention this matter again, and don't let people spread it, as if it didn't happen. Soon, you will Knowing the result, Wang Ping'an will definitely give in, and will take the initiative to contact you and give in to you, and you should remember that no matter what he hints, you will pretend to be confused. The more you don't mention it, the more afraid he will be. Also, send the person Withdraw all, let the wind calm, let the waves calm!"

Li Ke touched the letter in his arms, but he still didn't understand why the mother concubine said that, he said: "I also ask the concubine mother to explain clearly, why did you do this?"

Concubine Yang smiled and said: "Ke'er, you really should read history books carefully. If you don't know which one to read, just read "Sui Shu". Things about the Sui Dynasty are just as useful in our Tang Dynasty!"

Thinking of her life experience, she felt a little sad. As a princess of the Sui Dynasty, it was very embarrassing for her son to read about his grandfather's brutal deeds.

Li Ke reads all kinds of books, but he doesn't like to read "Book of Sui". He is the grandson of Emperor Sui Yang, and when Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji wrote about Emperor Sui Yang, there is no good thing to say. Of course, he doesn't like to read it. that book.

Concubine Yang said: "If you want Wang Pingan to be afraid of you, you don't need to do anything, he will know how to deal with it as soon as you do it, but if you don't do it, he will have to think about it all day and night, thinking about what will happen to you. Do it, can't eat well, can't sleep, until he is tortured to the point where he can't stand it anymore, he will give in to you. Although the wind is calm and the waves are calm, who knows what will be like under the water's surface? "

Li Ke suddenly realized, and said: "The more you don't know, the more you are afraid, but you are not afraid when you know. Yes, you are right, mother concubine, this is a very clever method of deterrence!"

Concubine Yang waved her hand and said, "Ke'er, go back and read "Sui Shu" carefully, especially the biographies about Yu Wenshu!"

Li Ke saluted, left Concubine Yang's palace, and returned to his own palace. He collected Wu Meiniang's letter. According to his mother, he really didn't make any trouble. Go spread rumors again, and stop talking bad about Wang Ping'an.

He found "Sui Shu" from the study, turned to the part of Yu Wenshu, and read it carefully.Of course he knew who Yu Wenshu was, but he had never read how Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji wrote Yu Wenshu. to understand.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I look at it!Only then did Li Ke understand why his mother and concubine let him read Yu Wenshu's biography, and the immoral things that separated Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty from the former prince Yang Yong were all done by Yu Wenshu, who paved the way for Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. On the road to the throne, the book unabashedly states that Yu Wenshu is greedy and despicable.But it was just such a person who actually killed a prince and helped establish an emperor!
Li Ke was overwhelmed, if only he had a confidant like Yu Wenshu, if he killed Li Zhi for him, wouldn't he be able to become the prince and ascend the throne!

It's useless to just think about it, there must be such a talent, Li Ke sighed again, he had nothing to do, and it happened that his father was studying behind closed doors, so he took advantage of the opportunity to read "Sui Shu".

After a few days, the Qianniu bodyguards sent to Gyeongju came back first, and they all wished to push off the task quickly. After returning, they reported some irrelevant things to Li Ke, and then returned to the Wei Mansion, not to board Li Ke again. Ke's door is closed.

A few days later, Li Ke kept quiet, until he himself didn't care about Wang Ping's raising a concubine.Suddenly, the butler came to him that day and told him that someone from Qingzhou came, and it was a messenger sent by Wang Ping'an!

Li Ke was both surprised and happy. What surprised him was that the words of his mother and concubine really came true. He had tossed and tossed and tossed Wang Ping'an before, but he suffered losses one after another. No matter how much trouble there was, Wang Ping'an sent a messenger after it stopped.

Li Ke asked the housekeeper, "How many people are here? Did you say what they came for?"

The housekeeper said: "There is only one person in the open, and I don't know if he is accompanied in the dark. I asked him what's the matter, and he only said that there is a secret letter sent, and he must present it to the prince face to face!"

Li Ke thought to himself: "Secret letter, present it to me in person? That means something important has happened. Could it be that Wang Ping'an has really given in?" He asked the steward to call the messenger into the main hall of the palace. He wanted to receive the messenger openly. The wind is calm, let the waves calm down, so why do you need to be sneaky and arouse suspicion!

It was Ouyang Yi who came to deliver the letter. He and Ouyang Shuang went to Beijing together and arrived a long time ago. Just in case, they didn't come to see Li Ke immediately.He came to see Li Ke in the open, while Ouyang Shuang was in the dark. If something unexpected happened, it would be good for someone to report back to Gyeongju.

When Ouyang Yi was introduced into the main hall, he was puzzled, why did Li Ke open up his affairs, knowing that I was the master's messenger, but didn't let me into the study, but met in the main hall instead, he was afraid that I would violently assassinate him?This is too high a view of me, even if you want his life, you can't come to his house in broad daylight!
After waiting for a while, Li Ke came out. Ouyang Yi hurriedly saluted. Li Ke didn't tell him to sit down, but instead said, "What's the matter with Wang Ping'an calling you here? Tell me quickly, I'm busy and don't have time to spend more time with you." You talk."

Ouyang Yi was a little embarrassed. Before coming here, he and Ouyang Shuang had discussed how Li Ke would react when they met him. What he expected was nothing more than a scene of courting him vigorously, or scolding him angrily, but he did not expect such an indifferent attitude. , as if he was an insignificant person.

Li Ke doesn't take himself seriously, but Ouyang Yi has to take himself seriously, he said: "My lord, my master has sent a secret letter, please turn your back around, so I can show it to you at the end." .”

Li Ke snorted, waved his hand, and said: "This king has nothing to tell others. I never like to trust wax pills. If your family has any nasty things to ask this king, please don't open your mouth. This king won't listen. Come here, see off the guests, I will reward him with ten copper coins for his hard work in the capital!"

As he said that, he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, ignoring Wang Ping'an's messenger to the extreme.

Ouyang Yi thought to himself: "Ten copper coins, I'll pick you up!" He hurriedly said: "Don't leave, my lord stays behind. The last general said something wrong, please don't be offended, my master's letter is here, please After the prince read it, he repaired a letter and will bring it back at the end of the day." He took out the letter from his pocket and presented it respectfully.

Only then did Li Ke stop, took the letter, sat back at the desk, opened it and read it.He only glanced at it briefly, and his heart was beating wildly. The technique taught by his mother and concubine was really effective, and the effect was astonishing. It seems that he really has to read "Sui Shu" carefully in the future, it is really learned!

The letter made it clear that Wang Ping'an gave in, surrendered to himself humbly, and also offered credit, even sending the blueprint of the big water truck intact, as a stepping stone!
Li Ke was overjoyed, and carefully read the letter from beginning to end. When he raised his head, his face was full of disdain. He waved the letter and said, "Your master wants to be the king's lackey? Go back and tell your master. ..."

He suddenly thought, what should he do if this matter is placed on Emperor Sui Yang?Is it to push it away, or to accept it?Emperor Sui Yang should have distrusted Yang Su at the beginning, but after Yu Wenshu recruited Yang Su for him, he still showed his trust, so that Yang Su became his lackey and worked for him. Now it's Wang Ping'an's turn!

He immediately changed his expression, retreated with disdain, put on a smiling face, and said with a smile: "Your master is too wrong to say that. This king has always regarded him as a brother. Don't let him belittle himself in the future. Like that It's so embarrassing."

Ouyang Yi knelt down on the ground and said: "In the end of the future, the master once said, I beg the prince to show mercy, accept this letter, and the prince will send me back in the future. My master will go through fire and water, and he will die!"

Li Ke hummed, took the letter, read it again, and said, "What else did you say?"

Ou Yanyi hurriedly said: "My master said that thanks to the invention of this water wheel, the prince can use it in Gyeongju. Now that the water wheel has been built, please report this matter to the emperor to celebrate the emperor. , celebrate for the people of the world!"

The muscles on Li Ke's face twitched, and he said, "Really? Is that what your master said?"

In front of his eyes, a picture had already appeared. He was standing in the court hall, being praised by his father and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty... This kind of treatment was only enjoyed by Li Zhi before, and he didn't think it would be his turn soon!
