Datang all-rounder

Chapter 217

There was a rush, and ten days passed in a blink of an eye. After the matter of the navy was implemented, Wang Ke was also free.Although it seems that things have been done, Wang Ke always feels that there is something in his heart that has not been done. After thinking about it, he does not know what he has not done. I don't think about anything, I just sit in the office to refresh myself.

Just as he was enjoying himself, he heard footsteps coming from far to near outside the door. He could tell that this was coming towards him, and the footsteps were so hurried, he thought there must be some urgent matter.

Wang Ke quickly sat upright, grabbed a book from the table, and pretended to look, Wang Ke knew that it must not be a good thing to come to him at this time, and it must be something from Comrade Li Er again. Crazy, come to find yourself, otherwise other people will not walk like this.

When the visitor walked into the door, Wang Ke peeked at him. He was an eunuch, and he was praising himself for guessing correctly, when he heard the visitor say to him: "The Queen's Majesty, Master Xuan Wangke enters the palace to meet you."

When Wang Ke heard what the visitor said, he was stunned for a moment. He guessed that it was someone from the palace, but he didn't guess that it was someone sent by the empress changsun. what.

Wang Ke stood up, cupped his hands towards the visitor and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, do you know why the empress is calling me?"

At this time, Wang Ke really didn't know how to address himself to this eunuch. Ordinarily, it is normal to call him the official, but Wang Ke thought that after all, he was someone close to Empress Changsun. My own impression will be better, and at least one of Empress Changsun will not speak ill of herself in the future. Thinking of this, Wang Ke thought about changing her name, but after much deliberation, she couldn't figure out how to say it. Finally, I choked out the word "I".

The eunuch was already very sensitive to other people's attitude towards him, but now he heard Wang Ke speak to him very humbly, and he felt very comfortable, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's just the empress I need to ask Master Xiao Wang about something."

When Wang Ke heard that it was nothing serious, he just let go of his heart, and when he said the last sentence, he immediately brought it up again. He couldn't figure out what the eldest grandson empress asked him for. Logically speaking, it was nothing. It should also be Empress Changsun who called herself through Comrade Li Er, and shouldn't have sent someone directly to call herself in.Now that Empress Changsun sent someone directly like this, I'm afraid there will be some serious matter.

Wang Ke cautiously asked: "Does my father-in-law know why the empress called me? If I need something, I have to come out to get it later, but it will be a waste of time."

The purpose of Wang Ke's saying this is to get some news from this eunuch. What Wang Ke is most afraid of now is Comrade Li Er's family. If he doesn't say anything, he will call you in first. I was completely unprepared.

The eunuch laughed and said: "Master Xiao Wang, you should follow our family as soon as possible, the empress is still waiting. Our family doesn't know what the empress is looking for, but I just saw the empress smiling when she was talking, so it shouldn't be so. It's a bad thing."

Wang Ke knew now that none of the eunuchs who came to pass on the message knew anything, but the last sentence reassured him. He could tell that it was not a bad thing, as long as it was not a bad thing, Wang Ke had nothing to fear That's right, after entering, just see the tricks and dismantle them.

Following the eunuch all the way into the inner palace, because Wang Ke knew it was not a bad thing, he was not so nervous. When he saw the empress Changsun, he saluted and said, "I don't know what the empress wants to come to the servant, only the servant can do it." Yes, I will definitely go through fire and water."

Empress Changsun smiled and said to Wang Ke: "There is nothing serious in this palace, so don't talk about it so seriously, Mr. Wang. It's just that it's going to be cold this day. Today, I let the people in the palace try the warm kang and Compared with last year, the warm wall is not so warm, so I specially sent someone to invite adults to come in and take a look."

When Wang Ke heard that this was the case, she was really relieved.It's easy!When Wang Ke was a soldier in later generations, he knew what was going on. He didn’t need to ask. It must be that the people in the palace didn’t clean it up after a whole winter. There was a lot of soot left in the flue. caused by patency.

Wang Ke cupped his hands to Empress Changsun and asked, "Empress, this heated kang and warm wall have not been cleaned since they were used last winter."

When Empress Changsun heard Wang Ke's words, she was very surprised, and asked, "Does this still need to be cleaned?" Wang Ke's face was really covered with black lines at this time, and he petrified on the spot.

What is this called? How can the flue be used if it is not cleaned? There is a lot of soot that needs to be walked along. Before reaching the corner, some soot will fall into the flue. After a long time, it will accumulate a lot, and there will be a thick layer on the wall of the flue. If it is not cleaned, the heat will not be easily dissipated when it is used again in the next year, so it must be cleaned once a year."

Wang Ke told the story thoroughly, and Queen Changsun understood it.

In order to prove that what he said was true, Wang Ke removed two bricks on the warm wall by himself, pointed to the thick layer of soot inside and said, "Please look, empress, there is such a thick layer inside. How can you feel warm if you don’t clean it up before using it again?”

Empress Changsun nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly called someone to deal with it.

After the arrangements were made, Empress Changsun sat down and said to Wang Ke: "My lord, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know how my little son will spend this winter."

When Wang Ke heard Empress Changsun talking about Jinyang Princess Li Mingda, she remembered that she hadn't seen this princess for a long time, so she quickly asked, "Is the princess all right, are you okay now?"

Empress Changsun said with a contented smile: "Okay, I have paid attention to what Mr. Xiao Wang said, and now my little son is growing very well, eating smoothly, and sleeping soundly, what kind of disease is that?" It hasn’t been posted either. It all depends on Mr. Xiao Wang’s guidance. Eben Palace really has to thank Mr. Wang.”

As soon as Wang Ke heard this, he stood up quickly and said: "The Queen's words are serious. Those who are small ministers should do what they should do. I can't afford the Queen's thanks. As long as the Queen has something to do with the servants, just open your mouth." , the minister will die!"

Empress Changsun smiled and beckoned Wang Ke to sit down, and asked cordially, "How is your king? Do the two princesses respect Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang?"

Wang Ke had just put his butt on the chair, when he heard the question from Empress Changsun, he stood up quickly and said, "Thank you, Empress, for your concern. The son of the Chen family is fine, and he has been taken by his mother all the time. The parents of the ministers also Good. The two princesses also respect their parents."

As Wang Ke said, he muttered in his heart: "If you want to ask this question, you can finish it at once, and if you want to sit down again, don't you have to stand up if you continue to do this? Sitting and standing will not exhaust me to death!" "

Empress Changsun beckoned Wang Ke to sit down again and said, "My lord, you don't need to be polite, just sit and talk to me. There are no outsiders here. Your lord Wang is considered a family, so you don't have to stand up all the time."

Wang Ke hurriedly thanked her, and then sat down in a proper manner, listening to Empress Changsun's questioning.

Wang Ke talked with Empress Changsun for a long while, and seeing that Empress Changsun was tired, she quickly stood up and said goodbye, but Empress Changsun didn't want to keep her, and waved Wang Ke back out.

As soon as Wang Ke walked to the corner, he saw the prince leading a group of people laughing and walking over. The two eunuchs behind the prince were still carrying things like wild ducks in their hands. It could be seen that this must be somewhere Just got back from playing.

Wang Ke stood aside silently, thinking to himself: "Can this prince come and go in and out of the palace at will?"

In Wang Ke's heart, it is very strict to enter and exit the palace. Could it be that no one cares about the prince entering and exiting at will?
When the prince passed by Wang Ke, he also saw Wang Ke, tilted his head, and let out a heavy "hum", without even looking at Wang Ke, he walked over directly.

Wang Ke didn't speak, bowed silently to the prince, and walked out.

From Wang Ke's point of view, the prince himself really didn't want to salute him, but now he had no choice but to flatter him falsely. Only when he got a fatal handle on him could he fight the prince.As for the prince's face now, I have to bear it, and I can't show any impatience, otherwise I will have no good fruit to eat.

Wang Ke walked all the way to Comrade Li Er's imperial study, looked in the direction of the imperial study, and just saw that Eunuch Yang was about to enter the door, so he ran over to say hello, "Eunuch Yang, you are busy!"

Eunuch Yang looked back, it turned out that it was Wang Ke who greeted him, turned around with a smile and said to Wang Ke: "So it is Mrs. Xiao Wang. I don't know where Mrs. Xiao Wang came from. He is here to find the emperor!"

Wang Ke called Eunuch Yang to stop, actually he had some ideas, he wanted to ask if no one cares about the prince going out of the palace at will, if not, then he would have to find a way to make a fuss about it.

Now seeing Eunuch Yang asking about it, he hurriedly said: "No, the empress called me over just now, and asked me about the heating kang and warm wall. As soon as I came out, I saw the crown prince bringing a group of people back to the palace." Go, it seems that I still have a few wild ducks. As a courtier, I can only make the prince want to leave, but I only come out now. As soon as I come here, I will see my father-in-law. Talk about it, everything is..."

Wang Ke didn't finish his sentence, but Eunuch Yang had already understood what Wang Ke meant. Although he was very happy in his heart, Lord Wang still remembered himself, but what Wang Ke said was that the crown prince had just returned from the palace, so let him Frowning, he murmured: "Why, this prince has left the palace again?"

Eunuch Yang's expression and tone undoubtedly made Wang Ke understand that the crown prince had not left the palace once or twice, and he did so secretly. Eunuch Yang may have known about it, but Comrade Li Er definitely did not know about it.From this point of view, Comrade Li Er must not have allowed the prince to leave the palace.

Wang Ke immediately pretended to be worried and said: "Eunuch, you have to talk to the prince about this matter. Now the prince's leg injury has not healed. If you run around, don't let the wound recur. It will be bad. He But my prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can I make the emperor feel at ease!"

Wang Ke's voice was still low at the beginning, but the more he spoke, the louder his voice became, he seemed very excited, as if he was very worried about the prince.

Seeing that Wang Ke's voice was getting louder, Eunuch Yang looked into the imperial study room, kept waving his hands to make Wang Ke quiet down, and said, "My lord, don't let the emperor hear you, if the emperor I heard that the prince has to be disciplined again, when the time comes, let the prince know that you told the emperor to know, why don't you trouble yourself!"

Wang Ke secretly smiled: "Isn't the prince causing me too much trouble? I just want Comrade Li Er to know that it is my intention to let the prince be scolded!"

I thought so in my heart, but Wang Ke said something else.Pretending to be very surprised, he asked: "Why, doesn't the emperor know that the prince is leaving the palace?"

Eunuch Yang said in a low voice: "It's fine for the prince to go out of the palace before, just talk to the queen, but every time the prince goes out, he will cause trouble. The emperor has already banned the prince from going out of the palace without permission. But the prince doesn't know why. I promised well in front of the emperor, but when I turned around, it changed immediately. Our family also knew that the prince had gone out several times secretly, but the trouble was not serious, so our family quietly suppressed it without telling the emperor. If the emperor finds out, it will be terrible!"

Wang Ke pretended to be suddenly enlightened and nodded.

The two were chatting lively when they heard a voice from the imperial study: "What are you talking about? Who left the palace without permission?"
