Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 705 Li Ke Becomes a Big Fat Man

Wang Pingan was very "understanding" and said: "Okay, then I will copy this letter. In fact, I also hope that you can spend more time with His Royal Highness, the deeper the relationship, the better. I will copy the letter right now, all for Mei Niang what!"

Wu Meiniang quickly blessed him again, saying: "Uncle loves Meiniang the most, Meiniang knows it very well."

Wang Pingan smiled, sat behind the table, spread out the paper, picked up a pen to copy the letter, and Wu Meiniang rubbed the ink for him.Not long after, the letter was copied. Wang Pingan took the envelope, put the long letter and the short message into the envelope, and said, "Light the candle, I want to write the envelope."

Wu Meiniang lit a candle and dripped a few drops of candle juice on the mouth of the envelope. Wang Pingan took out the small seal and sealed the envelope.He picked up the letter and said, "I want to send someone to Chang'an to deliver the letter. Is there anything else Meiniang can tell you?" She needs to be satisfied with everything.

Wu Meiniang thought for a while, and said: "Uncle, it's better to send a trusted aide. Meiniang thinks that if the crown prince reads the letter, he will definitely call a messenger to ask about the situation. Uncle, it's best to explain it so that the trusted aide doesn't know what to say. Don't tell the crown prince about Mei Niang, then the matter will basically be settled!"

Wang Pingan nodded with a smile. If Li Zhi really married Wu Meiniang, it would be a blessing or a curse. This woman plotted against him, and she plotted into her bone marrow. It would be unbearable for this kind of wife to be replaced by someone else. Get up!

Wang Pingan promised, took the letter out of the house, called Ouyang Li in the courtyard, and ordered him to send a brother to Chang'an to deliver the letter, and told what to say when he saw the prince, according to Wu Meiniang's instructions. Not loud, but just enough to be heard in the room.I did this to reassure Wu Meiniang that what you have told me, uncle, I will fully support, completely follow your wishes, and let you handle it without any worries.

Wu Meiniang listened in the room, she was very satisfied with Wang Pingan's actions, and was even more grateful in her heart. She felt that Wang Pingan was meticulous in handling things and was very considerate of others.

After finishing the order, Wang Pingan did not send Ouyang Li to go to work immediately, and Wang Pingan entered the room again, saying: "Meiniang, you heard it just now, it's appropriate to say that, do you want to add anything?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Thank you uncle for being careful, but there is no need to add anything. Meiniang also wants to thank the brother who sent the letter. I hope he can bring back good news."

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "The good news will definitely be brought back. Thank you, there is no need. He can do things for you, which is what he should do." He opened the door and sent Ouyang Li to do things.

Wang Pingan didn't stay in the yard too long. After going out, he called Huang Xiaoya and asked her to serve Aunt Yang well. He also promised that if she served Aunt Yang well, he would find her a good husband's house in the future and let her eat well and drink spicy food.Huang Xiaoya was overjoyed, she was finally able to make a name for herself, she didn't like spicy food, but she liked it so much that it was delicious!

After finishing the affairs in the back house, he went to the main hall. On the first day of the new year, there were countless people who flattered him.Although this kind of entertainment is very unnutritive, but I have to deal with it, otherwise I will not give others face.

Face is very important. If others give it to you and you don’t want it, it will offend them. If others ask for it but you don’t give it, it will offend them even more. So as long as it is about face, it is not trifle!
When Wang Pingan came to the main hall, he saw that there were people inside and outside the hall!He sighed in his heart, it's really embarrassing for these buddies, many of them were drowsy here last night, but seeing them again this morning, all of them are full of energy, and some of them can even be called They are imposing, with a loud voice, talking and laughing loudly, recalling the past and looking forward to the future, there is nothing they don't talk about!
When everyone saw Wang Ping'an coming, they got up at the same time, and some people who thought they had a good relationship with Wang Ping'an called out, "My lord, why don't you sleep a little longer, last night was very late, you should get enough energy today. We have to keep drinking!"

Wang Pingan laughed loudly and said: "Everyone, gentlemen, good brothers, if you talk about drinking, who is afraid of whom? But only one thing!"

Everyone asked together: "I don't know what the prince is afraid of?"

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "I'm afraid that there are not enough tables in my house, and there is no room for you to drill!"

The hall roared with laughter, seeing Wang Ping'an's humorous words, everyone stepped forward to flatter and say auspicious words, hoping to use this occasion to get closer to the governor, and to brag in front of those who couldn't come to the governor's mansion, how they are, Get the attention of the governor and the prince.

After being lively for a long time, Wang Pingan finally said: "Everyone, today is the first day of the new year. According to the rules of the court, it is time to pay New Year greetings to the chief. Thanks to everyone's love, everyone came to me to celebrate the new year. I am really grateful But then again, I am not the biggest official in Gyeongju now, and there is a thousand-year-old King Wu, and I have to pay New Year's greetings to him."

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent. You look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.What happened to King Wu, everyone in Qingzhou is not clear now, King Wu and the prince had a falling out, and the prince and the prince in front of him jointly attacked him so much that he could only stay in Maling County.Such a fallen king and grandson is worse than a drowned chicken. Everyone hides far away, and they will never come forward to make do with it.

Wang Pingan said again: "According to the etiquette of the officialdom, I have to take all the adults to visit King Wu to pay him a New Year's greeting. I can only accompany you less. But, to be honest, King Wu is not I really want to meet the guest, so I will go to pay him New Year's greetings, it is according to the rules, but you don't have to go, I can represent you, or if any lord wants to get close to King Wu Qiansui, will you go with me?"

The businessmen and the elders didn't respond. Anyway, it was not their turn to pay New Year's greetings to King Wu, but the officials bowed their heads together.The officials thought to themselves: "Don't be joking, King Wu has turned against the prince. Going to pay him New Year's greetings at this time will offend the prince if it is spread, and the king of Wu may not want us to go. Why bother? Why bother with hot faces? It's no use sticking to someone else's cold ass!"

Among the officials, there was only one person who raised his head, that was Qiu Tingxuan, he had no choice but to be the magistrate of Maling County, so he couldn't hide even if he wanted to!

Wang Pingan waited for a while, and seeing that no one said anything, he sighed and said, "Then I will go by myself and do my best. Everyone, those who celebrate the New Year, go home and reunite with your family, and have a good New Year. After the new year, we still have to keep busy!"

Hearing what he said, everyone naturally left one after another, and no one dared to stay. If the Lord Inspector arrested him and paid New Year greetings to King Wu together, it would be boring and extremely uncomfortable.

After a while, everyone dispersed, leaving only Qiu Tingxuan and Di Renjie.Di Renjie asked: "Brother, do you want my younger brother to go with you? But let's make it clear in advance that I have nothing to say when I see King Wu. If you make him unhappy, you can't blame me!"

Wang Pingan laughed and said, "Just say you don't want to go, and you'll be fine. Where did all this nonsense come from!" He took Qiu Tingxuan out of the Governor's Mansion and rushed to Maling County.

On the way, Wang Pingan asked Qiu Tingxuan, how is Li Ke doing recently, is he still fooling around with those Goguryeo people?Qiu Tingxuan answered him, he didn't know how Li Ke was fooling around, because he never went to Li Ke's side, as long as Li Ke didn't call him, he would never take the initiative to see him, and it had been half a month since I saw him, but from the last time we met, I found that Li Ke was a little fatter and a little fatter. For Li Ke's age, it's too early to put on weight!
Wang Ping'an didn't ask any more questions. Qiu Tingxuan didn't like to get involved in the battle between the princelings and the Wu royal party. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it would be difficult to ask something from him. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but that he I just don't know, and I don't want to know.

Along the way, they only talked about next year's spring plowing plan, but never about Li Ke.

When he arrived at the Maling county government office, Wang Ping'an asked to see Li Ke after a report.After a while, a servant reported inside, saying that King Wu went to bed late last night and hadn't gotten up yet, so Wang Ping'an and the county magistrate had to wait for a while until King Wu woke up.

Wang Pingan had no choice but to wait outside, but this waited until the afternoon, until the sun was westward, and Li Ke ordered someone to tell Wang Pingan that he could go in.

Wang Pingan thought: "Isn't it intentional to fix me and let me wait outside to vent my anger?" He asked Qiu Tingxuan, "Brother Qiu, does Wu Wang usually wake up so late? Could it be today? ?”

Qiu Tingxuan shook his head and said: "Usually I don't pay attention to it, but it's true that there are singing and dancing in the back house every night, and the sound of gongs, drums, silk and bamboo is constant."

Wang Pingan laughed and thought: "It must be a play, what kind of decadence do you want to play, so that I can relax my vigilance against him. This is really a dream. Too many people have used this trick in history, and he even Use it, it’s too underestimating me!”

Together they came to the back house and entered the flower hall. This flower hall has been built into a conservatory. It is very hot inside, and all the furniture and furnishings have been removed. It is empty. There is a thick carpet in the middle of the floor. There is a low table with a huge screen behind it.

There was no one in the room, so Wang Pingan had to wait with frown, and waited another quarter of an hour. The room was hot, and Wang Pingan was already sweating on his forehead, when he suddenly heard a voice from behind the screen, it was Li Ke's voice.

Wang Pingan took a step forward, knelt down to salute, and said, "King Wu, my subordinate Wang Ping'an, I wish you a happy new year!"

Hearing the rustling of his clothes, Li Ke sat heavily behind the table and said, "Get up, don't be too polite, it's Chinese New Year today? Oh, yes, last night the blasting rod sounded all night!"

Wang Pingan was taken aback, and thought: "No way, you don't know about the Chinese New Year, it's too nonsense!" He raised his head and said with a smile: "My lord, you..." Before he finished speaking, he choked!
I saw Li Ke sitting behind the table, his face was so round and his body was even fatter, maybe he weighed [-] to [-] catties, he seemed like a different person!
