Chapter 583: Governor of Qingzhou

He was very afraid that Old Mrs. Yang would not be able to stand the blow, so he had prepared all kinds of emergency relief items, but he did not expect that Old Mrs. Yang would be sad, but he did not express too much and did not faint.

Wang Youcai whispered at Yang and signaled her to come forward to comfort her. Yang is very easy to talk to now. He lost a daughter in his old age, and no one can stand this kind of thing.

Yang stepped forward, patted the back of the old lady Yang gently, and said, "Don't be too sad. A person's life span is destined by God, so I can't force it. Fortunately, Mei Niang is not young and does not mean to die. She will definitely be born in a good family in the next life and she will no longer have to endure hardship."

Wang Ping'an asked Ding Danruo to take the towel and hand it to Old Mrs. Yang, saying, "Just be sad and changeable. Mei Niang left peacefully and did not suffer much. If she knew that you were so sad, if you hurt your body again, wouldn't she be relieved to leave!"

Old Mrs. Yang took the towel, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Don't persuade, don't persuade, I understand that I have experienced many separations in my life and death in my life, and I have long been indifferent to it. It's just that poor child Mei Niang, who is young and has not enjoyed her blessing for a few days, but she left so early!"

Old Mrs. Yang was born into a prominent family, but she married into the Wu family when she was in her forties. She used to live in Buddhism and lived in Buddhism as a noble lady. It was naturally indescribable to hide it in places like Ganye Temple. After suffering for decades, she married into the Wu family, but she did not have a son, but only had a daughter. Once her husband died, she was abused by her stepson.

Under this kind of life and death, she has long been indifferent to life and death. Moreover, she believes in Buddhism and regards life and death as reincarnation. She is superstitious but as long as she has sustenance in her heart, she will often be open-minded in character. She is very sad when her second daughter dies, but at this time she can only pray to God to protect her and let Mei Niang enjoy her happiness in the next life.

After a lot of comfort, it was almost dawn that the Yang family and the mother were getting better and stopped their sadness.

Wang Ping'an said: "It's dawn, you can lie down for a while! All those who leave have left have to continue to live. The future life of the girl, you have to worry more about her. If you have a few things, what will she do!"

Old Mrs. Yang's eyes and nose were red, and she said, "I know, I know, there is no need to persuade the elder brother. The old sister has experienced the world and will not hurt her body." She patted Wu Xiaomei and said, "Jiao'er, you can get up too, let's go back to the room.

Wu Xiaomei stood up sadly, supported her mother and was about to go back to the room. Old Mrs. Yang suddenly asked, "Brother, what disease does Mei Niang have? Why did she leave just by saying that?"

Wang Ping'an had already thought about this, and he said, "Actually, Mei Niang is similar to Jiao Niang, and her body is not very strong. The people in the palace said they had an acute illness, but after seeing it, it cannot be considered an accident. She had known that she was not good. Otherwise, how could she find a good son-in-law for Jiao Niang, and how could she ask me to take care of you!"

Old Mrs. Yang kept muttering: "Mei Niang, Mei Niang, Mei Niang..."

The mother and the mother supported each other and returned to their room. Wang Youcai and Yang were also tired. They said a few words to Wang Ping'an and went back to their houses.

Wang Ping'an didn't close his eyes all night and felt very tired, but he couldn't sleep. He had to send the news to the East Palace quickly. Li Zhi was still waiting. It was probably because the prince hadn't been asleep all night, so he might be in a hurry to jump up and down!

After washing his face with cold water and encouraging his spirits, Wang Ping'an went out and took the guards to the East Palace.

His new house was not far from the East Palace, and it arrived in a short while. After entering the palace, he went straight into Chongxian Hall. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Li Zhi sitting in the hall, wearing yesterday's clothes, and a layer of beard grew on his chin, looking very haggard.

Seeing Wang Ping'an arrive, Li Zhi hurriedly ran over, grabbed his hand, and asked, "No sick..."

Wang Ping'an quickly said, "Your Highness is relieved, everything goes as planned, and no accident comes out. Mei Niang hides in Yangmazhuang. I sent a decent guard to protect her. This matter has been resolved smoothly."

Li Zhi did not sleep all night and stayed in Chongxian Hall for a whole night. He was really worried that Wu Meiniang was a little surprised. If Wu Meiniang had an accident, his accident would follow. He was a cowardly person who could not bear the big things. The biggest thing he encountered in his life was this. How could he not worry?

After hearing Wang Ping'an say everything goes well, Li Zhi let out a long breath and fainted and his body fell soft!

Wang Ping'an was shocked. The prince was too masculine. Old Mrs. Yang didn't faint, but he fainted, but he didn't bring a sniffing bottle either!

He helped Li Zhi, put Li Zhi on the chair, and pinched Li Zhi's people hard. Li Zhi let out a loud voice, woke up, gasping for breath, and his chest fell.

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "The things are handled well, your highness, don't worry!"

Li Zhi said tiredly: "Don't worry anymore, don't worry anymore. I didn't close my eyes all night last night, just for fear of something wrong. I'm not sick, you did this well, and let the orphans lose a big worry. You are really the lonely Zhang Zifang!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Your Highness has been awarded too much."

As the two were talking, Shi Aiguo came in from outside, and his eyes were red, and he seemed to have not been asleep all night. Li Zhi was worried while sitting in the hall, while he was worried while sitting in the side hall, which was not easy.

Seeing that Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi had a happy expression on their faces, Shi Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that everything was going well, just as it went smoothly! He said, "Your Highness, the emperor holds a court meeting today and lets you go there. It just so happens that the prince is here, so you can accompany your highness to the Ganlu Palace!"

Li Zhi was shocked and just now he was nervous. He asked, "My father wants to hold a court meeting? But today is not the day for a court meeting, but what important thing is there?" He was guilty and thought that his father had discovered something and wanted to punish him!

Shi Aiguo hurriedly said, "It's not a big dynasty meeting, but a small dynasty meeting. Only a few prime ministers participated. There was also a man from Ganlu Palace just now, saying that you would come over with your highness." He glanced at Wang Ping'an and said, "I heard that I had called the prince and sent someone to your mansion."

Now, Wang Ping'an became nervous and said, "I called me too, I don't know what to discuss?"

Shi Aiguodao: "I don't know this, you will know it when you go."

Li Zhi sighed and said, "I will go to the back and wash my face. Now let's go to the Ganlu Palace. If you don't have any illness, you can wait here." He stood up and went to the back hall.

As soon as the prince left, Shi Aiguo immediately asked, "Are you all right?"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "It's all done!"

Shi Aiguo sighed and said, "This is the most dangerous and helpless thing we have experienced in our life. I really don't know what the prince is wrong. How did he do such a thing? It's really heartbreaking!"

When Li Zhi was not in front of him, he said that the Crown Prince was not here. There was no way, I really couldn't bear it anymore. This was a bad thing!

Wang Ping'an said: "Why can you know the good or bad luck when you lose your horse? It seems like a disaster now. Maybe in a few days, it will turn into a good thing. Who can tell the things in this world accurately!"

Shi Aiguo said with a sneer and said, "Good thing? It is possible that such things will become worse and better? There is really no possibility!"

Wang Ping'an had no choice but to say, "Let it go with the flow, let it go!"

While talking, Li Zhi finished washing up and came out of the back hall and said, "No sick, let's go!"

The two left Chongxian Hall together and rushed to Ganlu Hall.

In Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin was joking with the prime ministers. Now the Tang Dynasty is peaceful, there is no worries within the people and no war outside. This is a rare good time. The emperor and ministers are naturally relaxed. After discussing today's government affairs, they began to talk about the new Jinshi. How the new Jinshi paraded on horseback and how the poems compete in Furong Garden are all very interesting in their eyes. It is good to be young, and you can squander your youth at will!

Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi entered the hall and bowed to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at his son and asked, "Zhi'er, your eyes are red and your spirits are depressed, but you haven't had a good rest?"

The father cared about his son, and this sentence was normal, but he was shocked by Li Zhi. He didn't sleep last night, thinking about Wu Meiniang, and was afraid that his father would know. Although he knew that his father could not know, he was still afraid.

Li Zhi said: "When I say to my father, my son did not sleep well last night. He was studying in Chongxian Hall. As he read, he fell asleep. He was at the desk all night. Now he was sore in his back and felt uncomfortable all over his body."

Li Shimin said with a oh, "Loyal minister, bring a bowl of ginseng soup for the prince. Well, pick it up more, everyone drinks it to replenish qi and blood."

Shi Zhongchen agreed and asked the little eunuch to get the ginseng soup.

Li Shimin said again: "Don't think that if you are young, you can't care about your body. When you get old, your problems will come to you, just like your father."

My father was kind, and Li Zhi felt guilty and whispered: "My son can do it, I will pay attention to it in the future!"

Li Shimin looked at his son and thought to himself: "I really don't worry. Such a big man is enough, so staying up late to have fun, but he still said he was studying!" After looking at his son, he looked at Changsun Wuji again and nodded.

Changsun Wuji immediately said, "Wang Ping'an, what do you think of the scholars who passed the imperial examination this year? Just say that the Jinshi students will be successful."

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "What does the evaluation mean? Could it be that I have to change the ranking? No, it has been announced!"

He said: "I think that the Jinshi who have passed the imperial examinations today are all well-educated people who are well-educated in poetry and books, and are all gentlemen." He refused to put the words to the point of being honest and said nonsense, which was equivalent to not saying anything.

Sure enough, Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "You said this as if you didn't. If you weren't a person who was well-educated in poetry and books, how could you pass the imperial examination? If you weren't a gentleman, would you still be a bandit or a robber?"

The king and his ministers laughed out loud, and Ma Zhou said, "Donald Wuji is asking you, see if those new Jinshi can be sent directly to local officials and handle civil affairs."

Only then did Wang Ping'an realize that he was asking these new Jinshi whether they had the actual ability to handle the poor. Is it necessary to ask, those who have never been an official can have experience in this area, especially those who have been writing books all day long, and ask them to become local officials directly. If they have not had three or five years of rest, they can get their political achievements.

He said: "If you want to be a local official, the empress thinks that these new Jinshi can be the deputy to the county magistrate. If you are directly in charge of the party, it seems inappropriate."

This sounds very reasonable, but in fact it is still nonsense. In the early Tang Dynasty, few new Jinshi were directly sent to the local government to preside over government affairs. Although they were very glorious when they were promoted to the Jinshi, they were not even very big when they talked about official positions. Even if they were like Di Renjie, it was extremely difficult to become county magistrates. They either went to various departments to train or be deputy to local officials. These two ways were there. Except for very special circumstances, no new Jinshi would directly become local administrative officials.

Changsun Wuji said: "Wang Ping'an, since you think so, there is some reason. Although everyone knows this principle. However, this year the court plans to send some new Jinshi to be county magistrates. What do you think?"

Wang Ping'an immediately said, "The emperor is wise, and all the ministers are very good at seeing each other. I also think that they should let them experience it well and share the worries of the court as soon as possible."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You have two things to say, but no matter how you say it, it makes sense!"

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "Thank you, the emperor!"

Changsun Wuji said, "Are you praising you? You will listen! The first two new Jinshi students this time are those you strongly recommend. I will give these two people to you, let them go to Qingzhou, divide them into two counties, and let them be county magistrates!"

Wang Ping'an whined, but he didn't understand. What does it mean to give it to him? Since they were asked to be the county magistrate in Qingzhou, how could they give it to him?

Changsun Wuji said: "Wang Ping'an, you go and be the governor of Qingzhou. Experience these two new Jinshi and make them useful."

Li Zhi was listening and suddenly became anxious. This was to let Wang Ping'an leave Beijing. Qingzhou is far away from Chang'an. Where can he leave Wang Ping'an now and he can't leave for a moment!

Li Zhi said anxiously: "Uncle, let Wubing be the governor of Qingzhou. Isn't this a demotion? Wubing did not make any mistakes!"

Li Shimin said: "What is demotion? The governor is a local official and is in charge of government affairs in a state. Wang Ping'an has no actual dispatch now. It is most appropriate for him to do this. Besides, this time he was sent to Qingzhou, one was to train him to practice a new Jinshi, and the other was to train himself. He could not handle any government affairs and would be polite. What is the purpose of it?"

This was a bit harsh, but when the emperor said, Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an were honest. Even if this matter was forcibly determined, it could not be changed.

Li Zhi looked at Wang Ping'an and thought to himself: "What should Mei Niang do? After leaving without illness, who will take care of her? I will take care of her? But I can't do it, I can't take care of her!"

Wang Ping'an was surprised for a moment and was overjoyed. It would be great to leave Chang'an. The sea is wide and the fish leaps with the sky high and the birds fly. This is a good opportunity to show off!

He also thought of Wu Meiniang, but he and Li Zhi thought differently. Wang Ping'an thought: "Wu Meiniang wants to have a child, and it is too dangerous in Chang'an, and it may not be hidden, especially Li Zhi, which is easy to expose his strength. But it is different to go to Qingzhou. Who can run there and track down whose child Wu Meiniang gave birth to?"
