Chapter 375 Will she be Wu Zetian?
Wang Ping'an ran down the city wall and entered the Yeting Palace. This was the place where eunuchs and palace maids lived. The guards were the most relaxed. He walked out of the palace along the small gate and turned to the street.
At this time, most of the people in Chang'an City went out to watch the fun, especially those who did business, ran out of the city to make a fortune. There were few pedestrians on the road and almost no one was seen.
Wang Ping'an left Chang'an City directly from Kaiyuan Gate. When he came outside Chang'an City, the racing team had passed, so he had to go around and return to Xuanwu Gate again.
Di Renjie and the others were all waiting at Xuanwu Gate. Wang Ping'an was not there, and they were not interested in following the strong men. Outside the Xuanwu Gate, only they were waiting.
After Wang Ping'an arrived, Di Renjie came forward and said, "Brother, why did you come here until now? But you were dragged down by the matter?"
Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "There is something that is quite difficult. I guess I may not even be able to go home in the next few days, so I have to stay in the palace!"
Di Renjie said with a thunderous voice, "But someone in the palace is seriously ill?" He was very capable of reasoning, and Wang Ping'an only said one sentence, and he guessed what was going on!
Wang Ping'an said: "That's right, there are patients in the palace that need care!" He did not say who needed care, but asked Ouyang Shuang to lead the horse and turn over the horse, and said: "Let's go chase the prince, so that he won't be impatient when I wait."
Two little girls were riding a car, while the others followed Wang Ping'an to ride a horse. Di Renjie suddenly said, "Brother, the emperor's illness should not be revealed for the time being, right?"
Wang Ping'an nodded, tilted his head to look at him, and smiled, "How did you guess that the emperor was sick?"
Di Renjie laughed and said, "Who dares to waste my brother's time now? Aren't you afraid that the prince will blame me? If I were as expected, I would have been giving medicine to the emperor just now."
"Brother, don't guess something. Just understand something in your heart, but don't talk about it everywhere." Wang Ping'an was very satisfied. As a brother, he was indeed first-class ingenuity and could guess everything!
Di Renjie said: "Isn't this telling my elder brother? How dare I act deaf and dumb?"
Everyone chased the brigade all the way, and soon after, they caught up with the brigade at the Golden Light Gate. The strong men ran very fast and were very busy, but the big businessmen did not allow them to run for too long. They had to stop and stop every other mile and take a break and delay the time for a long time. This way they could do business! After spending a lot of advertising fees and not letting them do their business, who could do it?
Under the protection of the imperial guards, Li Zhi sat under a noodle stall with a famous and time-honored brand in the Tang Dynasty and ate noodle soup. This noodle stall was set up by a big businessman. He set up dozens of such stalls in total. In order to enhance the advertising effect, he specially honored Li Zhi for a "tasting" money. As long as His Royal Highness can drink a bowl of noodle soup on his stall and let the people see it, his purpose will be achieved!
Li Zhi has discovered now. What is a money tree? Prince Li himself is a money tree. Wherever he sits, he will make money!
Therefore, he will not sit down easily now, except for filial piety, and the degree of filial piety must be satisfied, so that he will sit down for a while!
Wang Ping'an found Li Zhi in the crowd. It was easy to find him. There were the most people in the place. The prince must be there! He squeezed into the crowd and said, "Your Highness, you are here, let me find him!"
When Li Zhi saw him, he waved his hand and said, "What's wrong? Why did you come? You didn't see the good show just now!"
Wang Ping'an walked to him and sat down. The big merchant brought the noodles and soup to him. The big merchant was in the grain business. That day, Wang Ping'an told the special offer in the medicinal food shop, and he was also present. The big merchant really wanted to get the name of special offer. When he saw Wang Ping'an, a big man who was the only one in front of the prince, wouldn't he be flattering?
Wang Ping'an did not explain why he came late, and smiled and said, "What's the good show? Let's hear it."
Li Zhi said: "It's such a good show. Those guys who participated in the race did not participate one by one, but participated in groups, all wearing the same big shorts with the name of the business name printed on it. It looks good when running, just like the military exercises, and my father laughed!"
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "They learned to wear big shorts as they were, but they didn't give me the tuition fee. I'm so sorry!"
Li Zhi also laughed, talking about the lively momentum just now, and was full of excitement!
While everyone was resting, the big merchants organized various performances, including those who were performing hand-held, those who played monkeys, those who performed puppet shows, and all of them were under the banner of the business, which was very popular in later generations. The big merchants were sponsors.
Wang Ping'an looked at the lively scene and said in his heart: "If this continues, the Tang Dynasty might have entered the capital society in advance. Once business becomes more developed, the level of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce will naturally be dissatisfied with the merchants... There will be no revolution!
After eating and drinking, after watching the program for a while, the team started racing again. As Li Zhi said, countless strong men participated in the cold run, with at least a dozen of strong men, probably from the shop's own mates, and hundreds of people seemed to be hired strong men, wearing colorful clothes, and they were so conspicuous that they came from their big shorts. They ran around and shouted while running!
It can be said that the merchants in the early Tang Dynasty brought the advertising effectiveness to the extreme. It is expected that after the Chang'an race, the merchants in the entire Tang Dynasty will follow suit. The business of the Tang Dynasty will be strongly stimulated and develop explosively!
Wang Ping'an accompanied Li Zhi to "preside over" the convening of the conference, following the whole way. He waited until sunset and returned to the palace. He didn't run the whole journey today, and he had to continue running tomorrow!
The people were still in full swing. After entering the city, they celebrated and even put the stalls in Furong Garden. They held small competitions in the garden, comparing everything, some climbing trees, some swimming, and even some young and evil knights set up a ring and started fighting to compete for the name of Chang'an's first martial arts master!
The people are so lively, let’s not describe it for now, just talk about Wang Ping’an. He accompanied Li Zhi to the East Palace first. Li Zhi played for a day and was tired and rested early. Wang Ping’an went to Xitai and waited in the empty Secretariat, waiting for Shi Zhongchen to come to find him.
It was not until the moon was on the branches, and it was almost the second day that Shi Zhongchen came to find him personally. After the night fell, foreign ministers like Wang Ping'an could not go to the harem. He did not go to the Ganlu Palace, so he could only wait in the Secretariat of the Outer Court.
Shi Zhongchen did not come alone, and he also brought a concubine to him. This concubine was the martial arts talent who was beaten during the day!
Wang Ping'an was shocked. Why did she bring her? What did she do? Didn't it mean that outsiders could not know about this? He looked at the concubine. During the day, he didn't have the chance to see the concubine carefully. Now he finally had the chance to see clearly.
I saw that this palace man was relatively plump, with a round face, curved eyebrows, and white skin. He felt like he was a little jewellery. He did not look like he was from a big family. Moreover, she acted normally and did not look like she was beaten up!
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Is it possible that the torture guard deliberately letting water out and did not suck her hard?" Looking at the concubine carefully, he felt that Wu Zetian was not very good-looking. She was too far behind the two little girls in his family. She could not be said to be as bad as 100,000 miles, but there were definitely tens or 20,000 miles!
When the concubine saw Wang Ping'an, she stood aside in a manner and lowered her head. She did not speak when she came to see him. She looked gentle but she was really gentle, but she didn't even have any sense of pleasure.
Wu Zetian in history should not be like this. Why didn’t he perform at all as a strong woman? She looked like a young wife who was angry! It’s hard to believe how she hooked up with Li Zhi. Could it be that Li Zhi was good at this? No, Li Zhi should like the kind of person who can make decisions for him, rather than the kind of person who has to make decisions for her!
Shi Zhongchen pulled Wang Pingan aside and whispered: "Sick-free baby, our family is up tonight. Even if we have to sleep, we have to sleep outside the emperor's hall. If something happens, we have to rely on our family to arrange it. Do you think?"
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "That's natural. Many things in the palace are subject to Uncle Shi. How could he leave you?"
Shi Zhongchen nodded to the concubine and said, "Although there are many people in the palace, nothing else can be believed. This palace man was scared during the day and his mouth should be very strict..." After a pause, he said, "Her mouth is strict, but he is not lucky... Well, if we don't talk about this, you should understand it."
Wang Ping'an said, "I understand, my nephew understands everything!" He looked at the concubine and thought to himself, "Why do you want her to come? Ah, I understand, Wu Zetian must have been flirting with Li Zhi while serving the emperor, and thus got along!"
I felt very uncomfortable. I still couldn't change history. Wu Zetian still had to meet Li Zhi after all, but I became the one who made the bridge!
Shi Zhongchen pulled him a few steps away, pressing his voice very low, and whispered: "This palace man has lost his holy favor. The emperor will never favor her again, but she doesn't know yet. Our family asked her to come, first, to learn medicine from you, so she thinks she will be favored, so she will work hard and dare not slackew. Second, if something happens in the future, it will be necessary..."
Shi Zhongchen blocked the concubine's sight with his body, and made a knife with one hand, slashing downwards!
Wang Ping'an took a deep breath. It seemed that the concubine thought to herself: "Let her come here, it turns out that she is planning to destroy her mouth afterwards! What a pity, no one can destroy her mouth." Her eyes turned to Shi Zhongchen, and she felt pity. It is very likely that you will be silenced in the future!
Suddenly, my heart trembled. Will I be silenced? Surely, no, the emperor's condition has not been made public now, and Shi Zhongchen wanted to cover it up. If it is made public, there will be no silence!
I couldn't help looking at the concubine again, but I didn't expect that my fate was like her, and I had to rely on Li Zhi. Although the prince was incompetent, it was very useful to be amulet!
Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "I understand, my nephew understands it!" He didn't dare to say it was unclear!
Shi Zhongchen sighed, patted Wang Ping'an's shoulder and said, "I'm all counting on you, I'm all counting on you!" Then he waved his hand, turned around and walked to the concubine, as if he wanted to remind her a few words.
Wang Ping'an quickly turned his head and acted like I was not eavesdropping, but his ears were ridged, wanting to hear what Shi Zhongchen wanted to give instructions.
Shi Zhongchen blocked Wang Ping'an's sight with his body and said to the concubine in a low voice: "The emperor asked someone to whip you during the day. It was a bitter show. The reason why our subordinates showed mercy is to give you an important task and ask you to commit crimes and make meritorious service. Do you understand?"
The concubine nodded quickly. Like Wang Ping'an, she didn't dare to explain it.
Shi Zhongchen said again: "That person is Wang Ping'an, the best in traditional Chinese medicine in Chang'an City. He wants to show the emperor the insomnia. Our family wants you to supervise him to see if he is focused on making medicine. You also need to check carefully whether he is making medicine according to the prescription. Can you do this well?"
The concubine nodded again. She didn't expect that Shi Zhongchen would hand over such an important task to her. She felt a little excited. It seemed that she was not far from the days of favor!
Shi Zhongchen whispered: "You must report any abnormality to us in time if he has any problems. Also, if he asks you, you are not allowed to tell him, and you are not allowed to leak the matters in the palace, otherwise... Humph, our family is not always merciless!"
The concubine thought to herself: "Show mercy? Those twenty whips almost beat me to death. If I hadn't been forcing myself now, I would have fallen to the ground long ago, and my back would still be so painful!"
She hurriedly said, "Yes, I will do as the chief executive said!"
Like the expression he had just told Wang Ping'an, Shi Zhongchen sighed again and said in a very trusting tone: "I'm all counting on you, I'm all counting on you!"
The concubine was very moved and squatted and saluted Shi Zhongchen to show her gratitude, thanking the chief executive for giving her such an opportunity!
Shi Zhongchen stopped talking, turned around and nodded at Wang Ping'an, left Xitai, and returned to Ganlu Palace.
Wang Ping'an heard nothing, and he didn't expect that Shi Zhongchen's old traitor had slipped to this level. Seeing that General Shi Da left, he walked up and said with a very good attitude, very gentle and gentle, "Is this Empress Wu's surname?"
The concubine nodded slightly without saying a word.
When Wang Ping'an saw her, he thought to himself, "Is your surname Wu really your surname?" He asked again, "Are you a talented person? I wonder how many people in the palace have the surname Wu, but who has the same surname as you?"
The concubine shook her head and said softly: "No one in the palace has the same surname as me, and there is no talented person with the same surname!"
To be sure, Wang Ping'an asked again: "Are you a talented person?"
The concubine nodded and said, "Yes, I am a talented person!"
Wang Ping'an swallowed his saliva and sighed in his heart. It turned out to be Wu Zetian... Alas, this woman looks gentle, but she is not gentle at all. I have to be careful when I get along with her!
The concubine suddenly said, "Are you the little genius doctor of Ping An? Will you teach me how to decoct medicine?"
Facing the future boss, Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Of course you will be careful. If you...you learn, you can decoct medicine for the emperor alone, and I won't have to stay in the palace!"
The concubine smiled and said, "You won't teach others again, are you? You helped me, how do you want me to thank you?"
