Datang all-rounder

Chapter 216

Sitting in his office, Wang Ke looked at the people coming in and out, and felt that he was so important for the first time.I used to run around every day, and I didn’t feel this way. I just felt that I could help and do a little bit. Now, these people come to me, and the old killers in the third headquarters are like going to work. Every morning Just come here directly, and when I get off work at night, I go home directly from my place.

What Wang Ke discussed with a few old killers these days is how to build this ship. Wang Ke really doesn't like the current style of the ship. These old killers don't understand, but Wang Ke knows it. Today's boats are all flat-bottomed and shallow-bodied. It is no problem to sail in rivers, but it is impossible to sail in the sea. The big waves in the sea are no worse than those in rivers. Once encountered, the flat-bottomed boat has no way to avoid them. Yes, once it reaches the crest, it is completely a lone leaf, and there is no possibility of escape.

Wang Ke told the truth of this to the old killers before he listened to it, took out the ship graphics he drew, and explained it carefully, so that the old killers understood it, and then let them together To discuss how the artillery should be arranged, after all, they are much more familiar with this matter than themselves.

While they were arguing, Wang Ke stood up and walked out of the room. He was locked in the room for a long time. There were people coming and going, and the air seemed to be very bad. Wang Ke also wanted to come out for a change. angry.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Wang Ke saw Imperial Physician Xiao from the Imperial Hospital walking by, Wang Ke was moved in his heart, opened his mouth to stop Doctor Xiao, and asked, "Master Xiao, where did you go in such a hurry?" what?"

Now Wang Ke is a celebrity in the court, and he is also very popular in front of Comrade Li Er, so there is no reason why others don't know him.

Seeing that it was Wang Ke who called him, Imperial Doctor Xiao quickly walked over, cupped his hands at Wang Ke and said, "Master Xiao Wang is busy."

Wang Ke said in her heart: "Busy, I'm busy. I'm helping others, but I don't do any of my own things."

He didn't dare to say this out of his mouth. After all, Comrade Li Er had entrusted him with this matter. He didn't do it himself, but instead pulled a bunch of veteran killers over. Now they are arguing non-stop in the room.

Wang Ke also hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It's right to serve the emperor. I don't know where Master Xiao came from?"

Wang Ke also knew from the route that Imperial Physician Xiao walked, that Imperial Physician Xiao must have just come out of the palace, but he didn't know who went to the palace to see a doctor. For such things, Wang Ke was still very willing to know of.

Doctor Xiao has nothing to be on guard against Wang Ke. In his opinion, Wang Ke is a son-in-law and a nobleman named by Comrade Li Er. Now he is also a worthy official of the emperor in the court. Regarding the affairs in the palace It's okay to know, even if I don't say it now, Wang Ke will know everything as long as he asks the princess to go back to the palace. At that time, I won't have to offend this little king

Doctor Xiao looked around and found no one, so he said to Wang Ke: "Your Majesty, I don't know, the last time His Royal Highness fell on his leg, I was treated by this old man. Every three days, this old man will come in The prince will take a look to see if there is any improvement. Today is exactly the time, and the old man just came out of illness for the prince."

Wang Ke didn't expect that he would encounter something related to the prince today. This is what he wanted to know the most, so he quickly asked: "By the way, I have been very busy these days, and I don't know if His Royal Highness's leg has healed. , and ask Mr. Xiao to introduce one or two!"

Wang Ke said it nicely, but he knew very well in his heart that the prince Li Chengqian must have been lame, but the history books did not say when it happened, and Wang Ke was not sure if it was just this accident that made him suffer. Li Chengqian became crippled, and now he can just ask.

Doctor Xiao didn't know what Wang Ke was thinking, he thought Wang Ke was concerned about the prince's condition, so he couldn't help but sighed, and said with a sad face: "How can he be cured, His Royal Highness's bones are broken, What we can do now is to prevent His Highness the Crown Prince's leg from being abolished, but from the old man's point of view, even if it is cured, the leg will not be the same neatly, walking..."

Wang Ke heard that Doctor Xiao was hesitating, and he seemed hesitant to speak like that. He knew that it was difficult for him to say it, but he already understood in his heart that this matter was exactly what he thought. This Li Chengqian must be lame. Now, as this fact cannot be changed, the temperament of Li Chengqian, who was already perverse, will become even worse. According to the history books, Comrade Li Er gradually lost the last trace of goodwill towards him, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. Under the circumstances, Li Chengqian was finally taken down, and Li Zhi was replaced as the prince.

What Wang Ke has to do now is to shorten this process. However, Wang Ke does not want Comrade Li Er to push Li Zhi to the top, but to let Li Ke stand out. From a historical point of view, Comrade Li Er The most capable son who died unjustly came to change the direction of Datang.

Wang Ke believed that Li Ke would do better than Li Zhi. If Li Ke came to power, there would be no future Wu Zetian meddling in politics, let alone the Anshi Rebellion in the future. At least the decline of the Tang Dynasty would be delayed for a long time.

Wang Ke pretended to be sympathetic and said: "If this is the case, then the prince will be pitiful. The emperor and empress do not know how heartbroken they will be."

Seeing Wang Ke standing there sighing, Imperial Physician Xiao was also moved by Wang Ke. In his eyes, Wang Ke at this time is not only a person with outstanding ability, but also extremely sympathetic, making himself wish to be with Wang Ke. Ke said all the words from his heart.

Doctor Xiao sighed and said: "Yes, the old man is incompetent. He can't restore His Royal Highness's legs to the original state. He is really ashamed of the emperor!"

What Wang Ke wants to know now is how the prince Li Chengqian is doing now, is it still the same as before, or worse than before, or will it change after this catastrophe? Get better slowly.But Wang Ke can't ask directly about this kind of thing. If he asks directly, it is very likely that Doctor Xiao will be suspicious.

When Wang Ke was in a dilemma and at a loss, Imperial Physician Xiao took the initiative to say: "Now the old man is most worried about His Royal Highness's temper, which is very bad for his recovery!"

As soon as Wang Ke heard this, she knew that what she was thinking could be answered, and the others put the words on her lips. If she didn't know how to seize this opportunity, she would die like a bear.

Wang Ke pretended to be surprised and asked: "What do you mean by Mr. Xiao? Is there something wrong?"

Wang Ke knew that if he asked directly, he would definitely not get as many things as he would know from such a question. If his tone changed, this Lord Xiao would definitely tell him about Li Chengqian's current situation in detail. I will add a few words to it, and I am not afraid that the imperial physician will not tell me everything he knows.

Wang Ke's prediction was correct, facing his own question, Imperial Physician Xiao said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you don't know, His Royal Highness is very impatient, and he has always been honest with us. This time This incident greatly stimulated him, and his temper changed even more, it really gave this old man a headache!"

Wang Ke heard Imperial Physician Xiao say that Li Chengqian was short-tempered, but he just said that he was short-tempered. Knowing that he didn't dare to say it clearly, Wang Ke pretended to understand and said, "Yes, this is a difficult task. But whoever encounters This matter will make me feel unhappy, and my temper will change, and when His Royal Highness's leg recovers, I should be fine."

Wang Ke's words seem to be comforting, but in fact it is not the case.Just now Doctor Xiao has made it very clear that Li Chengqian's leg will never get better.Wang Ke said so, just to let Doctor Xiao pour out all the bitterness in his stomach, so that he can know more about Li Chengqian's affairs.

Maybe it's because Doctor Xiao thinks that Wang Ke already understands his difficulties, and he believes in Wang Ke even more, so he can speak out all the words in his heart, and he has no scruples when he speaks: "My lord, you don't know Ah, His Highness the Crown Prince has a bad temper. In recent years, as he got older, he has done a lot of outrageous things. The Emperor is not as pleasing to His Highness as before, but His Highness the Crown Prince does not think about it. , on the contrary, he is even more unscrupulous. This time I broke my leg, and my temper became even stronger. In the past, when the old man went to the palace to see a doctor, His Royal Highness would at most ignore him, but now he is slightly displeased. The old man cursed loudly. The old man has served the emperor for many years, even if he has no credit, he has worked hard, but he has ended up like this. If the emperor has not treated the old man well, the old man really wants to sue his old age and return home."

Wang Ke was secretly happy. The more people who are dissatisfied with the prince Li Chengqian, the better for him. As long as these people can tell him about the prince's situation at any time, he can find a way to deal with the prince. , by that time, hey, I am afraid that the crown prince will have to be replaced.

Wang Ke looked at Doctor Xiao sympathetically and said: "Master Xiao, we are doing this for the sake of the emperor, not for anyone else. As long as we do our best for the emperor, the emperor will be able to see it. His Royal Highness is still young. Xiao, when encountering such a thing again, I must feel unhappy in my heart. No matter what, he is always the prince. As courtiers, what can we do? We can only do our own things well and keep our integrity The other things can only be dealt with by the emperor."

Wang Ke knows that people at this time are so forthright. In the current Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere in the court is still very upright. In addition, Comrade Li Er can still listen to the opinions and suggestions of his courtiers. What's the matter? No matter who can say a few words, his words will definitely not be approved by Doctor Xiao.

Sure enough, Doctor Xiao twisted his neck, and said to Wang Ke: "Your Majesty is wise, but you can't let the prince go on like this. As the crown prince, your highness should be humble, and you should always pay attention to your words and deeds." , we as courtiers, how can we look at His Highness the Crown Prince like this and remain indifferent!"

Wang Ke laughed heartily, but said on his mouth: "But His Royal Highness is not wrong. If His Royal Highness is impatient, it is not a way to report to the emperor. His Royal Highness has suffered from this catastrophe, and his temperament has changed. It's also forgivable."

Wang Ke seemed to be desperately trying to excuse Li Chengqian, but in fact, he was trying to find out if Doctor Xiao knew about Li Chengqian's bad habits. After all, this Li Chengqian is now in the position of prince, and he has not done anything radical. To let Comrade Li Er It is very difficult to have a disgust for him. Although Wang Ke can often hear some news from the eunuchs in the palace, but that is because he had no place to stay before. I went in under the name of the study, now that I have an office, without Comrade Li Er summoning me, it would not be so easy to get in.This source of news is not as smooth as before.I seized this opportunity today, how could Wang Ke give up so easily!
Hearing Wang Ke's words, Imperial Physician Xiao was also excited, and hoped to express to Wang Ke the words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Cheng Zhijie coming out of the room and said to Wang Ke, "Boy, come in quickly. Mrs. Li wants to talk to you."

Wang Ke knew that what Cheng Zhijie said about Mr. Li was Li Jing, so he asked him to go in. There must be some disputes, or all the arrangements have been made, so he has to go and see for himself.

Knowing that there is no way for Wang Ke to continue talking with Doctor Xiao now, he could only smile and said to Doctor Xiao: "Master Xiao, I can't talk anymore today. Master Li Jing is looking for me, so I have to go and see. Someday Kong, please invite Master Xiao to come here to taste tea, let's continue chatting. Or I can go to Master Xiao's place."

Doctor Xiao hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Master Xiao Wang has a lot of affairs at court, just go as soon as possible. I will definitely come to visit when I have time, how can I let Master Xiao Wang come to our imperial hospital." After saying that, he saluted Cheng Zhijie and left.

Wang Ke looked at the back of Doctor Xiao going away, and then walked back into the house with Cheng Zhijie.

He knew that even if he didn't find out any valuable news today, the imperial doctor Xiao would definitely come to talk to him. At that time, he might be able to hear some news that is beneficial to him. If he really didn't come , then it’s okay to go there by yourself, as long as you can get some valuable news, there’s no harm in walking around.
