Chapter 695 Li Ke meets Wang Ping'an, like a mouse meets a cat

Wang Ping'an agreed and said, "Yes, I will continue to say..." He suddenly stopped, looked at Li Ke, and said, "Prince, you just said, what's wrong? But the wound hurts, should you change the medicine or something?"

Li Ke was in a state of confusion at this time, angry and hated, but helpless. Hearing Wang Ping'an pretending to care about him, he waved his hand in anger and shouted, "You are hesitant, but you dare not say anything? Okay, since you don't dare to say it, then don't say it, let's break up now!"

Li Zhi yelled and said, "Third Brother, why don't you know the good people's hearts? Wujian cares about you! Besides, is it going to be a part of the meeting? I haven't said it yet, how can you give orders without authorization!"

Li Keqiang suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, then continue to drive, Wang Ping'an, please continue to say, I'm listening!"

The merchants and officials were amused when they saw the prince and the King of Wu quarrel in public. Everyone had heard that the brothers were not dealing with each other, but they were just heard that few people had seen it with their own eyes, especially the merchants. They usually don’t even have the chance to meet the prince and the King of Wu, but today they were very excited to see them singing on the stage. They felt that it was the happiest thing in the world to watch the royal brothers quarrel!

Many people even secretly took out the pen they carried with them and wanted to record it on their sleeves. This is something that can be hyped up to their descendants. Back then, my grandfather, I met the prince, the emperor, and I fought with his brother in public. It was a hot summer day, the sun was like a fireball, just above your grandfather and my head...

Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, then Xiaguan will continue to say that the plan of the prince and Xiaguan is very good, which can be regarded as beneficial to the country and the people. However, because the stall will be very large, it will spread to the whole world. If there is a mistake, it will affect the livelihood of too many people and the income of the court. So I suggest that you can find a pilot first, let the pilot first carry out this plan, and then promote it to the whole world?"

Li Zhi smiled and cooperated with Wang Ping'an very much. Following Wang Ping'an's words, he asked: "Pilot, what does this mean?"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Just like popularizing the flood truck, it will be first tried in Qingzhou, and then promoted to the entire Tang Dynasty. We can first build a Qingzhou investment yamen, then try this plan, check the reaction in Qingzhou, find out the mistakes, and accumulate experience. In this way, it will be much safer to promote and popularize the entire Tang Dynasty?"

Li Zhi smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth and nodded, "You are a safe plan, very good, very good, I agree very much. However, who will host this pilot?"

Wang Ping'an pointed to Li Ke and said, "This plan was proposed by the prince, and the name was also given by the prince. He took the main credit, and the minister also borrowed the money and shared a small portion. This is not something that the prince emphasized repeatedly just now, and everyone heard it. In this way, it is better for the prince to preside over it and the minister assisted the implementation. When will the pilot be successfully completed? The prince will return to Chang'an, build the above-mentioned position of the emperor, and build the Datang Investment Office to promote it to the entire Tang Dynasty!"

Li Zhi clapped his hands and said, "Very good, your suggestion is so good, it's true. Third brother, if you hadn't repeatedly emphasized whether this credit is a disease or not, you would have been recruited by your father back to Beijing in a few days. But that's fine, you stay in Qingzhou to guide the water conservancy project and continue to guide..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud plop!

Li Zhi, Wang Ping'an, and everyone present looked at Li Ke together! He saw King Qiansui of Wu leaning back and falling from the chair, lying on the ground in an ugly posture!

Inside and outside the hall, a silence appeared briefly, and everyone was silent and stunned. Looking at King Qiansui of Wu who fell to the ground. After a while, the entire front yard of the governor's mansion was in chaos. Everyone started to shout, while Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an ran towards Li Ke together and helped him up.

Li Zhi shouted: "Third brother, third brother, are you okay? Why did you suddenly fall?"

Wang Ping'an shouted, "Let the emperor take the pulse for the prince. Your Highness, don't worry, this is not a big problem, it's just that the phlegm rushes up..." He didn't need to take the pulse, just by looking at Li Ke's symptoms, he knew what was wrong with him!

The merchants and officials all surrounded him and looked at Li Ke and thought to himself: "Why bother? Why bother? He has to go against the crown prince. He is the future emperor. If you go against him, there will be no good results!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Everyone disperse, don't surround me, let the prince get some breath!" He pressed Li Ke's Renzhong acupoint with his hand and pinched it hard. Li Ke felt pain and woke up slowly!

As soon as Li Ke woke up, he would not mention the regret in his heart!

If a person is fooled once, there is nothing to say, but if he has no experience; but if he is fooled again, it would be a bit too stupid. However, a person like Li Ke, who is not stupid, fell into the same trap twice, and not long after, they were all traps made by the same person, exactly the same, without even a single difference, so how could he not not sputum rush up!

This is the trap of the waterwheel model. First give him the credit and then let him execute it. But fortunately, Ma Zhou always said a few good things to him in the court. But now, he also gives him the credit and then let him execute it and then let him guide it. It was really the same trap twice, and they were all set up in the same place, and the key places were Qingzhou!

But, who said good things to him this time?

Li Ke thought to himself: "Popularize water trucks and use Qingzhou as a pilot. I will guide you. No matter how they delay this water conservancy project, there will always be a time to complete it, otherwise it will miss the farm work and the people will rebel. So even if they let me run from each county, there will always be a time when I finish it, and I will still be able to return to Beijing.

But there is no such thing as investing! Not to mention anything else, even if the money is invested, everything is on the charter. But if those so-called skilled craftsmen cannot invent things for a year or two, or even three or five years, then I will wait? Even if they invent new tools and promote them, they will have to be a year later. It is not certain whether it is good or not. Why did Wang Ping'an ask me to stay in Qingzhou? Isn't it just to hold me back?"

I regret this, and Li Ke's intestines are almost bleak! Why is he so stupid? Even though he knows that Wang Ping'an is full of bad water, he still tries hard to get along. The more he makes up, the more unlucky he gets. Even the crutches are on. If he continues to do this, he will be finished!

Seeing Li Ke awaken, Li Zhi hurriedly asked someone to bring water over, and Wang Ping'an performed an examination for Li Ke. After a while, Wang Ping'an finished the examination and said, "It's okay, the prince was just excited for a moment, so he fell down. There was nothing to do. He didn't need to take medicine, just calm down his mind!"

Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an stood up together and pressed Li Ke back to the chair.

Li Zhi said: "Excited? Third brother, why are you excited? Did you say that after hearing Gu's hearing that Gu wanted to hand over such an important task, you fell down so happy? Why bother? Third brother, you don't have to be so happy. Brother, I just remember the love between brothers and sisters, so I left you a name in history and admired by people in later generations. A small matter, you don't have to thank Gu anymore!"

Li Zhi's other skills have not increased, but his genius skills have become more and more advanced, and he speaks very smoothly. He felt very sympathetic to Li Ke when he saw Li Ke fall, but when he heard that Li Ke has nothing to do, he immediately disliked him again. If he encounters such a thing, how can Li Ke sympathize with him? Brother, don't talk about the second brother, how can he fight?

After Li Zhi was in the case again, he said, "Since the third brother is so happy, it is definitely right to leave this matter to the third brother. As long as you are passionate, you can do the errands well. Third brother, whether our income can increase in the future of the Tang Dynasty depends entirely on you!"

He picked up his pen and continued the memorials, writing all the supplementary words of Wang Ping'an on it. After writing, he immediately stamped the wax seal and asked someone to send it to Chang'an, and refused to give Li Ke a chance to resist!

Li Ke was now depressed, sitting on the chair without saying a word, without saying a word. He had figured it out, and he could not beat Li Zhi because Li Zhi himself was not good, but he had Wang Ping'an, and Wang Ping'an could not do it anymore. As long as Wang Ping'an was there, he would not be able to win the battle for the crown prince.

Since you can't fight, then stay away from it, slowly develop your strength, find your own Zhang Liang, and find someone who can defeat Wang Ping'an. You can't recruit a large group of useless waste like you are now. Those aides are really useless and cannot assist you at all. It's better to find someone else!

As long as you figure this out, you will understand everything. Li Ke will not say anything or care about anything anymore, and just accept it. What do you say, then do it? I can’t give in!

In fact, Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi used regular methods to fight against Li Ke. There was no assassination or something, much better than Li Ke. But this is what happened in this world. Li Ke felt that Li Zhi was too merciless to him, but he never thought that when he fought against Li Zhi, he had never shown mercy, but he had never succeeded!

Seeing that Li Ke didn't say anything, Li Zhi looked at Wang Ping'an. Wang Ping'an hurriedly nodded to him, saying that Li Ke's affairs were just like this, and then discuss how to invest!

Li Zhi no longer answered Li Ke, who was depressed, and talked with the merchants about how to invest and how to start a new deal. Although it was Li Ke who gave guidance, what could Li Ke really guided? The key decision was that Li Zhi and Wang Ping'an still had to do it!

But once we talk about specific details, we will involve a lot of things, such as the proportion of each person's investment, the dividends, the contacts between the government and the merchants, how to recruit craftsmen, how to treat craftsmen, how to operate, and so on, things like hemp ropes, and it is hard to figure out.

Li Zhi was still a little interested at first, but in just two quarters of an hour, he yawned and found an excuse to go back to the back house to rest and go to find Wu Meiniang to have fun.

Shortly after Li Zhi left, Li Ke left the governor's mansion using the excuse of having to take care of arrows and simply returned to Maling County. Can't he afford to offend? What kind of guidance does not mean? He doesn't talk nonsense with others, and no one talks with him, and no one pays attention to each other. That's the best!

Only Wang Ping'an was left. This plan was originally thought of by him, so he naturally had to be fully responsible. He called Di Renjie and the two brothers to discuss things with the merchants and finalize all matters one by one.

Such a major matter could naturally not be solved in a day or two. After that, a meeting lasted for five consecutive days, which made Wang Ping'an so busy that he almost died. Only then did he finally handle the matter well, sort out his clues, and wrote a detailed plan to send it to merchants and officials in Qingzhou to read, and also reported it to the court!

Li Zhi has been leisurely in the past few days. Every day, he either lived a life of a couple with Wu Meiniang in the house or ran to the construction site to accept the cheers of the people. He gained a lot during this trip to Qingzhou, with political achievements, wins the hearts of the people, and has beautiful women.

But there will always be a day of comfort. According to the original plan, Li Zhi's itinerary in Qingzhou has come to an end. Chang'an has stepped up 800 miles and sent official documents. First, he agreed to the plan of the Datang Investment Agency, which can be tried in Qingzhou first, and second, he is urging Li Zhi to return to Beijing soon.

On this day, Li Zhi called Wang Ping'an to the yard where he lived, accompanied by Wu Meiniang and talked to Wang Ping'an. Li Zhi said, "I'm not sick, I'm going to go back to Beijing. According to the route that my uncle set for me, I have to go to several other states and can't stay in Qingzhou anymore!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Your Highness can only return to Beijing with confidence. Mei Niang has his own ministers to take care of her and will not let her suffer any grievances."

Wu Meiniang looked gloomy and stood up to bless Wang Ping'an, but she didn't say anything.

Li Zhi reached out to hug Wu Meiniang's shoulder, but thought that this was in front of Wang Ping'an, so he had to change it to pat Wu Meiniang to show comfort.

Wang Ping'an glanced at Wu Meiniang and thought to himself: "Mei Niang is very realistic. She knows that she can't keep Li Zhi, so she won't force her to stay, but she must want to use the child as a kite string and hold Li Zhi. She is embarrassed to say this, so let me tell her for her!"

Wang Ping'an said: "When autumn comes, Mei Niang will be full-term. I wonder what your Highness plans for the child? Should I send it to Chang'an, or stay in Qingzhou and be raised by my ministers?"

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang looked at him with a gaze. He had no choice but to say, "If I were sent to Chang'an, I couldn't accommodate this child, so why not stay in Qingzhou!"

Wang Ping'an naturally knew that the child could not be sent to the capital, so he said, "However, on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, I will write to Your Highness to tell you the situation of the child. Your Highness would be better to reply in time. I read the letter to your child and let your highness grow up with him. In this way, even if the father is not around, the child can feel the warmth of his father. When he meets him in the future, he will not be alienated from Your Highness!"

His words were sincere, for the sake of the children and for Li Zhi.

When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red. He felt that he was too sorry for the child and also sorry for Wu Meiniang! When Wu Meiniang heard this, she felt even deeper and couldn't bear it. She cried out with a wow cry. Her voice was already louder, and Wang Ping'an changed her medicine for her. At this time, not only did her voice no longer feel hoarse, but she also returned to her previous clearness day by day.

Wu Meiniang cried, making Li Zhi cry, and her cowardly nature exploded instantly. The two of them hugged each other, hugging their heads and cried bitterly!

Wang Ping'an grinned and the two emperors cried loudly. If he was a minister, he would be too unfaithful. He had to raise his sleeves, pretend to wipe his tears, and cry with him!
