Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 296 Competing for places
He continued: "Your Majesty is a sage king who has left his name in history. Of course, your stone carvings must be 100% identical to yours, and there must be no deviation. I suggest that you should wear the most handsome clothes, and let the The four civil and military ministers cooperate with you to form a theme, so that the carved stone sculptures will be more vivid."

"Well, you can arrange this matter and notify me when you are ready, but I have a request, the queen wants to be with me." Li Er said.

The officials were shocked, the queen wanted to accompany Li Er to carve, so there was one less quota, which made them worry that they would not be ranked.

Hearing this, Wang Pingan quickly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work. The boulders in the center of the commercial square have been placed properly. One is taller and the other four are smaller. This is what we designed beforehand. If you change your mind now, Your Majesty, That would delay the entire construction period, and besides, the boulders were transported back and forth, and the waste of manpower and material resources was not worth the loss.”

Then he turned his head and winked at the civil and military ministers beside him, meaning: "You guys still don't say a few words, don't you really only need three places?"

Everyone received Wang Ping'an's eyes and nodded one after another. For the sake of leaving a place in history, they went all out.

Cheng Yaojin stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that since the arrangement has been made in advance, we should not change it, lest the people say that you are a fool like Yang Guang."

Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help frowning, looking at him with anger on his face.

At this time, Du Ruhui also took a step forward and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Cheng Zhijie's words are not rude, although Your Majesty, you can't be with the Empress this time, but we can choose another place to engrave the dragon faces of Your Majesty and the Empress." and Fengyan."

"Then what does Ai Qing think is more suitable?" Li Er asked after calming down a little.

Changsun Wuji also stood up and said: "At present, there are two places that can be carved, one is the first hospital in the Tang Dynasty, and the other is the academy that Ping An often mentions. I believe that the academy in Ping An must be all the academies in the entire Tang Dynasty. All of them together don’t compare to that.”

"Hehe, Mr. Wuji won the award. The boy just handed over the knowledge taught by his teacher before. Only the future will know whether it is good or bad." Wang Pingan said modestly.

Wang Ping'an just smiled, waved his hands, and didn't say much, he was acquiescing.

However, Li Er began to think about these two places, and felt that both places were good choices, so he asked: "What do you think, dear dears, which of these two places is more suitable?"

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Return to Your Majesty, if you carve with the empress, then the academy is more suitable. If you only carve the empress alone, the hospital is more suitable."

"Why?"

"Because the academy is a place to teach everyone to learn. The stone sculptures of His Majesty and the Empress are placed there, as if their parents are urging them. And the hospital is a place to save people and treat diseases. Putting the phoenix face of the Empress in the hospital is like a The angels in white are caring for them," Wang Pingan explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head slightly to see Li Er's expression, but he nodded slightly, while Cheng Yaojin who was beside him gave him a thumbs up.

Wang Pingan curled his lips, then lowered his head again, waiting for Li Er's reply.

I only heard Li Er say: "Let's put this matter aside for now, according to the original plan, you go to prepare and inform me when the time comes.

Li Er paused, and said maliciously: "Ping An, I can do it at any time. As for the other four civil and military ministers, you can go and make sure."

Immediately, Wang Ping'an found that there were more than a dozen pairs of hot eyes looking at him all around, wanting to swallow him alive.

Wang Pingan said: "Thank you for your concern, I have already made a decision."

Li Er showed a treacherous smile, and said: "In this case, then you all step back, I will wait for your notice tomorrow."

Wang Pingan said: "Observe the order."

As soon as everyone left the palace, Wang Ping'an was blocked by Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others.

Wang Pingan knowingly asked: "Uncles and uncles, you intercepted my nephew here, what is the so-called?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Ping An, I'm straight to the point, I'm sure I'll be one of the four civil servants and generals."

"This old man should have one too. How can I say that this old man and you also went to rescue the disaster together. We have shared joys and sorrows together. You should be able to fulfill this wish of this old man, right?" Du Ruhui said.

"Wait, why did the two of you determine the quota? Did you ask us brothers? Your wish is still granted, so what should we do with our wish? Who will help us fulfill it." Fang Xuanling was suddenly dissatisfied.

Wei Zheng cupped his hands against the air and said, "How do you behave like this, how can you be worthy of His Majesty and the people of the world. Get out of the way, four civil servants and generals, I believe Wang Ping'an has his own ideas in his heart."

"Haha... Li Jing, did you see that this is a scholar!" Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly.

Changsun Wuji smiled instead of anger: "Zhijie, you mean to give up this quota, which will make it easier for our colleagues."

"Who dares, which bastard dares to snatch my quota, I will kill him alive." Cheng Yaojin said viciously, joking how he could give up this quota.

"I am Lao Niu too, one of the places belongs to my Lao Niu." Niu Jinda also stepped forward and said without hesitation.

As soon as the two said it, the others quit, first of all was Yu Chigong, he took a step forward, took off his shirt, showing his dark muscles, and shouted: "You two want a place, unless you beat me .”

"Do you think I dare not?"

After Niu Jinda finished speaking, he put on a posture and wanted to rush up to fight Yu Chigong. They are military generals, and they are all people who do not move their hands. If you beat me, I will obey you.

Standing in the middle, Wang Ping'an became excited. How many people can there be in this world to see the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties fight with their own eyes?

It's a pity that the good show was interrupted by Li Ji. He stood up and said, "Everyone, there are only four places. No matter civil servants or military generals, many people will always be disappointed because of this. Why don't we think of a way so that everyone has no complaints."

Changsun Wuji said: "Brother Maogong is right. We can't use force or rank to suppress people just because of quotas. We are all brothers."

"It's all Ping'an's fault. Why are we only given four places? It's fine if there are more than [-] places. Nothing will happen." Cheng Yaojin began to blame Wang Ping'an at this time.

Wang Pingan twitched his lips, feeling that he had turned into a donkey with good intentions, so he said displeasedly: "My nephew has a way to let everyone decide the candidates for the quota."
