Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 360 This is Invented by the Empress

Wang Pingan learned some news from the official, that among the disaster victims, [-] were women, there were nearly [-] adults, and the rest were either children or the elderly.

All the victims saw the biggest official of the relief house nodding and bowing to the young man, very respectful, looking at Wang Ping'an, they couldn't help feeling awe in their hearts.

"Master Ben knows, now you call a few representatives of the disaster victims over, and say that I have something important to discuss with them, and don't leave in a hurry, step aside first, and Master Ben will ask you about the almshouse later. Some situations." Wang Pingan said.

The official responded: "Yes." Then he shouted to the victims: "Listen everyone, this young master is from the Prince's Mansion. Now I have something important to tell you. Choose a few representatives from among you. Talk to the young master."

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion on the scene. Many people were talking about Wang Ping'an's identity. They knew that the official in charge of the almshouse was named Cao Mingren, and he was a good official. In their minds, Cao Ren was a big official, very big high officials.

Seeing that the high officials in their minds were all respectful to the young man, the victims put away their contempt for Wang Ping'an, and developed a strong sense of awe, but they still couldn't stop the people's gossip.

Cao Ren only heard the discussion, but he didn't mean to send a representative at all, so he said loudly again: "To the people of the Tang Dynasty, I know that your hometown was hit by a flood, so that you fell here, and I deeply appreciate it. My sympathy, now His Royal Highness knows about everyone's affairs, so sending people here now is to find a way out for everyone.

Now you are sending five people as representatives to discuss your future with this young master on behalf of everyone. "xd
The scene suddenly became lively again. This time they were discussing who would be the best representative. Not long after, five representatives were selected. One of them was Zheng Liuer because she knew Wang Pingan first, and the other four They are all old people of a certain age, and they are all a few old people with high morals and high prestige. .

The five of them walked up to Cao Ren, bowed to Cao Ren first, and said, "I have seen you, sir."

Cao Ren waved his hand and said, "There is no need to salute, hurry up and meet the person sent by His Royal Highness with me."

After speaking, he brought five representatives to Wang Pingan, saluted Wang Pingan and said, "Master, these five people are the representatives of the disaster victims."

"Yes." Wang Pingan nodded lightly and said, "Master Cao, please stand aside, and I have something to discuss later."

Zheng Liuer and the other four representatives walked up to Wang Ping'an, put their feet on the ground, knelt down and said, "Caomin has seen you."

Wang Pingan quickly helped the four old people up and said, "Old people, please get up quickly, you don't need to kneel down when you see me in the future."

"Thank you, sir." The five stood up at the same time.

Wang Pingan said: "Liu Er, have you told everyone the purpose of my trip?"

"Liu'er said it, but everyone doesn't believe Liu'er and Sister Dongxue." Zheng Liuer said with annoyed expression.

The other four representatives heard that they wanted to kneel down again to intercede for everyone, but were stopped by Wang Pingan, who only heard Wang Ping angrily say: "I forgot what Wang said so quickly, and there is no need to bow down in front of me."

The four representatives had no choice but to get up again, and one of the representatives said: "Thank you, my lord, for letting us old bones avoid kneeling, but the old man has to say something inappropriate. Liu'er told everyone to use wool to make clothes. Nonsense, the old man has lived for decades and never heard that wool can be made into clothes."

"That's right, it's not just the old Zhao who hasn't heard of it, the three of us haven't heard of it, and even everyone hasn't heard of it. We even asked Mr. Cao, and even he didn't know. Finally we asked Liu Er and Miss Dongxue, they can't give us a clear answer, my lord, how can you make us believe this." Another old guy said.

"Yes."

The other two representatives also nodded.

Wang Ping'an looked at Zheng Liu'er, and Zheng Liu'er also looked at Wang Ping'an at this time, she felt that she hadn't handled the matter entrusted by En Gong, so she immediately lowered her head in shame.

He glanced at Dongxue who was still in the pile of victims, smiled helplessly, and said: "It's all my fault that I didn't arrange it well, so that you don't trust me. In fact, the prince didn't order me to do this. Wool can be made into wool." Regarding the sweater, the Empress ordered me to manage a woolen workshop."

"Hi~"

The four representatives all took a deep breath, showing admiration.They never imagined that the one who built the wool workshop was the empress, who was the mother of the Tang Dynasty and the most respected and beloved person in everyone's mind.

Seeing their awe-inspiring expressions, Wang Pingan was secretly amused. He decided to tell a lie. This lie would make the eldest grandson's name go down in history and enjoy the title of "Mother of Wool".

He solemnly said: "It all started after the flood. When the Empress learned that the flood had ruined many people's homes and left their homes, the lives of the people were miserable. This caused the Empress to miss food every day. Unexpectedly, I saw her getting thinner and thinner day by day."

"Then how can it be, how can the empress not think about food and tea for us?

The others were also in great pain and excited, beating their chests and stamping their feet. Looking at this posture, it seemed that everything was their fault.

Wang Ping'an smiled inwardly, but on his face he also pretended that the Empress Empress was thin and his heart ached, and then he solemnly lifted those old men up.

Zhao Hao, Cao Ren and Zheng Liu'er who were standing beside them all looked at Wang Ping'an suspiciously.

Zhao Hao thought to himself: "Young master obviously thought up the matter of wool, but for the sake of the common people, he gave the credit to the empress. The young master is really great. I must protect the young master well in the future."

Wang Pingan didn't expect that Zhao Hao's sincerity would be even more sincere with his lies.

Zheng Liuer thought to herself: "Yesterday, Young Master Engong clearly said that he came up with it by himself, and then he said that he would take him to see the empress, why did it change again today? Could it be that Master Engong wanted to take the credit of the empress? Ah! Master Engong is really How audacious!"

If Wang Pingan knew that Zheng Liuer would think so, he would definitely yell for injustice.

However, Cao Ren was indeed full of doubts. He muttered in his heart: "I didn't hear that the empress is getting thinner day by day. Could it be that my news is out of date?"

He stared at Wang Pingan for a while, and suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "Could it be that he is Wang Pingan, Flying Tiger General Wang Pingan, who has been rumored among the people and officials recently? Yes, it must be, it must be .”

Cao Ren looked at Wang Ping'an excitedly, and said in his heart: "He is a prodigy, a child of a strange person. The idea of ​​the wool workshop must have been thought up by him, and definitely not by the empress. But he gave all the credit to the empress. What good would that do him?" He thought about it and couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and thought: "So that's the case, no wonder, no wonder he was favored by His Majesty and Empress at such a young age, and he can still achieve such a high official position. It turns out that he is not only outstanding in ability, the main thing is that he can It is a great contribution to give them by surprise, so that they receive such a big gift without knowing it."

He nodded, and finally knew why he could only stay in the poorhouse and not be promoted. It turned out that he had no merit to give to the people above, and now he finally found a way to be promoted.

If Wang Pingan knew what was going on in Cao Ren's mind, he would have said dumbfoundedly: "I have never thought about it so much before. I sincerely want to help the people. As for credit, I don't care at all, because credit is for me. It is too easy to say.

Wang Ping'an didn't know what the three of them were thinking. He helped the four elderly people who were too excited, and said, "Old people, get up quickly. If the empress finds out, you are kneeling in front of me now, and I won't be able to eat and walk around." of."

The four representatives stood up in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, this is caused by excitement."

"It's not wrong, we have a good queen, this is the blessing of our people, the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty!"

Several others nodded in agreement.

Wang Ping'an continued: "It may be that God took pity on our good queen, and suddenly one day the queen passed out at noon for no reason."

"Ah! Is your lady okay?" Old man Zhang asked nervously.

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "Of course it's fine, not only is it fine, but also something great happened?"

"What, you actually said that it's a good thing for your mother to faint? It's really rebellious." Old man Zhang said angrily.

Wang Pingan shook his head and smiled wryly, "Mr. Zhang, why did you let me finish my sentence? Although the empress fainted, it wasn't a real faint, but a fairy dream."

"Immortal dream?" Everyone said in unison.

Wang Ping'an said solemnly: "That's right, it was the fairy dreaming. After the empress fainted, she woke up not long after, and she kept saying thank you god, thank you god... Actually, the empress herself didn't know Is my dream a fairy dream, so she came to me and told me that there was a fairy in the dream who taught the empress how to make clothes from wool. At that time, I made wool into wool together with the empress.”

At this time, Zhao Hao took out Wang Ping'an's experimental wool very consciously, and showed it to everyone, and said: "Everyone can see clearly, this is wool made of wool."

The four representatives, Zheng Liuer and Cao Ren, stared blankly at the ball of khaki wool in Zhao Hao's hand, feeling suspicious in their hearts, it didn't look like wool at all.
