Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 753

Seeing that Wang Pingan was stunned, Changsun Wuji quickly explained: "I don't want to torment you, but the emperor will go out to meet you in person tomorrow. You are the hero who beat Goguryeo to surrender. The emperor has just ascended the throne not long ago. You have returned triumphantly. It is the first major event of the new dynasty, so the emperor has to greet you in person, and you have to greet him thirty miles away, which is the highest specification, but you are now camping twenty miles away from the city, how can the emperor greet you what!"

Only then did Wang Pingan understand that Li Zhi was going to welcome him out of Chang'an tomorrow.The emperor greeted him thirty miles away, so he had to be at least seventy miles away from the city!

If the emperor walks thirty miles, then he will have to walk thirty miles at least tomorrow, but as a subject, he has to walk a little longer than the emperor, but he can't let the emperor wait for him, so if the distance is more than thirty miles, he has to walk more. Add another ten miles, so retreating forty miles is just right!
Wang Ping'an said: "The emperor actually wants to go out to meet him in person, this... is really not good, how can this little minister dare to bother the emperor..."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, it will be dawn after you talk nonsense. After returning, you have to let the soldiers rest for a while, so that they can recover their spirits tomorrow, otherwise the soldiers will be full of fatigue. What's the proper way? Let's set up camp, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it on the way."

Wang Pingan quickly agreed, and sent an order to tell the soldiers to pack up quickly and follow him back.The generals who followed him back to Beijing Yaowu this time were all carefully selected, and they belonged to the people who would do whatever the chief told them to do.Although Wang Ping'an's order was tossing people, none of the soldiers complained. They immediately pulled out the camp and returned on the way.

On the way, Changsun Wuji called Wang Pingan aside, and the two were alone.Changsun Wuji said: "No disease, do you still remember what I promised you when I sent you to Baekje?"

Wang Pingan uttered a cry, and said, "Uncle, are you talking about a job under the family?" In private, he referred to his elder Sun Wuji as Uncle, based on his seniority from Li Yiren.

Changsun Wuji hummed, and said: "Exactly. This matter has been settled. After meeting with the emperor tomorrow, the emperor will appoint you as a servant in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of Chang'an. Yes, then you have to pretend to decline, don't just agree, if you don't refuse, people will think you are in a hurry and crazy to want to be a waiter!"

"How can my nephew want to be a servant, but the prime minister, my nephew doesn't have the ability!" Wang Pingan hurriedly rehearsed and declined first.

Changsun Wuji chuckled twice, and said: "Our family, you don't have to play tricks. There are three provinces in the imperial court. The Shangshu Province is managed by the old man, and the Zhongshu Province is managed by Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou is not bad. Although he usually has his own ideas, as a prime minister, how can he be a person who has no ideas. He and the old man are still cooperative. The only thing left is that the servant is not a man, and he always sings against the old man. In the past, when the late emperor was there , the old man can only put up with him, now that the new king has ascended the throne, why keep the old man, isn't it an eyesore!"

Wang Pingan thought to himself: "The lord servant seems to be a few years younger than you. If he is called old and immortal, what will happen to you?" He said: "Then, what happened to the previous Xiangye , as a deputy to your nephew?"

Changsun Wuji snorted, and said: "What kind of deputy, if you beat a snake to death, you will suffer from it instead! The old man found his fault, and asked several ministers to join him in a book, saying that he is old, incompetent, and stupid. , sent him home to retire.”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "After that, the Tang court will become your one-word hall!"

Changsun Wuji said again: "After becoming a servant of the province, you still have a lot to learn. Don't be shy. Of course, you don't seem to be a shy person. As long as there are things that you can't make up your mind about, don't be shy. Just come and ask this old man, this old man decides everything for you, understand?"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand, of course my nephew understands. In fact, my nephew is just a name, and my uncle has to come to get the idea of ​​saving money. But in the future, my uncle will work a lot."

Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "The old man is never afraid of being tired, but afraid of being idle!"

Wang Pingan looked at Changsun Wuji's smile, and sighed in his heart, this uncle really didn't say anything to him, although he wanted to hold the government firmly in his hands through himself, which was selfish.However, is there any private person in the world?There should be such a person, but unfortunately I have never encountered it.Then Changsun Wuji's selfishness doesn't matter, at least he is promoting himself.

But then again, what about Wu Meiniang who is now a nun?The Tang Dynasty can do without Changsun Wuji, but it is absolutely impossible without Wu Meiniang. Without Wu Meiniang, there will be no future emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Meiniang is obviously far superior to Changsun Wuji in administrative methods.In case the two of them fight in the future, who should I help?What a headache!

After Changsun Wuji and Wang Pingan finished their private conversation, other ministers came up and asked Wang Pingan about everything and asked him to explain in detail what happened in Goguryeo.There is no way, some things can only be said by Wang Pingan. Now Chang'an gossip is flying all over the sky, and it is not clear which version is true and which version is false. No one knows the truth except Wang Ping'an!
However, Wang Ping'an naturally wouldn't tell the truth to so many people. It's a big joke, and there are historians among the ministers. If you write him down, then he will stop messing around in the future, and don't change his name to Wang Lv'er, and add another word, Wang Hun Lv'er!

Wang Pingan just said that when he was at sea, he captured some Baekje people and learned that Baekje had been prepared, but Goguryeo was not prepared, so he temporarily changed his plan and went to attack Goguryeo. Although it was a risky move, who made him loyal? As for the country, if there is danger, you have to go. If there is no danger, first create the danger, and then go.Fortunately, risks and benefits coexist, he finally surrendered Goguryeo, and accepted the king as his godson, and made Goguryeo's civil wars continue, laying the foundation for Datang to destroy Goguryeo!

Not all the ministers believed his words, they all saw that just now Changsun Wuji called Wang Pingan aside and whispered, maybe this was what Changsun Wuji taught him.But even if you don't believe it, but such a high-sounding reason was taught by Changsun Wuji, who is full enough to expose it?People in flower sedan chairs carry people, hello, hello, everyone, at most, just keep silent!
Seeing that the ministers were noncommittal, Wang Pingan quickly hinted that he had gained a lot from the expedition this time. The adults strategized in the court and won the victory thousands of miles away. It's just a meritorious service.So he specially prepared a gift to show his gratitude, everyone has a share, and no one will be lost.

This is called knowing how to be a human being. If you have the credit for yourself, how annoying it is!This time you swallowed all the credit by yourself, and you didn't say to leave a mouthful of soup for others after eating the meat.Are you just enjoying the scenery in the court?Be careful in the future, everyone, we can't drink soup, so you can't eat meat!
After the hint, the ministers immediately beamed with joy and praised Wang Ping'an greatly. Wang Ping'an's reputation was successfully upgraded immediately.No one else can beat Goguryeo to the ground except you, the prince!
Amid the sound of slapping horses, the army drove out for forty miles. At this time, it was already past midnight, and there was not enough time.Wang Pingan didn't let the soldiers set up camp, so he stayed overnight in the wild. He told about the emperor's personal visit tomorrow, and the soldiers were overjoyed. It would be impossible to show their admiration for the emperor.

The whole night was full of things, and the ministers dragged Wang Pingan to talk and did not let him rest. Wang Pingan had no choice but to endure, talking with the ministers and satisfying their curiosity.

The next morning, Wang Ping'an ordered the soldiers to eat more. I am afraid that they can only eat this meal during the day, and there is a lot of physical work to be done, so it is not certain when to eat at night!

After eating, the army set off and rushed to Chang'an City again!
Hurrying on the road today is completely different from yesterday. Yesterday it was only the people near the official road cheering along the way, but today it is crowded with people. People from other prefectures and counties are here near Gyeonggi. Both sides of the official road are full of people. Go, you can't see the end at a glance!
Wang Pingan rode on a white dragon horse, holding a large flag captured from Goguryeo himself, followed by ministers and two thousand generals.Amid the cheers, they traveled forty miles.

From a distance, under the canopy of Huang Luo, among thousands of subjects, Li Zhiduan was sitting on a horse, fully clothed, waiting in front, waiting for Wang Ping'an!
From the moment he was able to see the emperor, Wang Ping'an dismounted immediately, raised the flag with both hands, and shouted loudly: "I am the king of the Tang Dynasty, mighty!"

The soldiers behind shouted in unison: "Mighty!"

The people along the way also shouted loudly, the mighty sound shook the heavens and the earth.On the road to Beijing, there may not be 30 people gathered now, but there are more than 10,000+ people. There are people all over the mountains and plains. When they shouted, even the earth would shake!
When Li Zhi saw Wang Ping'an, he thought to himself: "It's great to be back at last! It's just... well, why did you get off the horse so early without illness? It's almost a mile away. He came over with a big banner, He is not tired!"

With a royal horse under his crotch, Li Zhi went up to meet him and shouted, "Wang Ping'an, is Goguryeo safe?"

Amidst the thundering mighty voice, Wang Ping'an was so far away that it was impossible for him to hear the emperor's words.But the people followed the emperor and shouted: "Wang Ping'an, is Goguryeo safe?"

Wang Pingan held the big flag in his hand. The weight of the big flag was not light. He regretted it in his heart. If he had known it would be lighter, he held such a heavy flag in his hand, his arms were sore, and he had a tendency to tremble!
He shouted: "Gaoguryeo Daan, from the king of dung to the common people of the Li people, all submit to my Tang!" I can't take care of it anymore, I should let him be dung, I have to let him be!
The people shouted again, repeating Wang Ping'an's words, and passed them on to the emperor!
Li Zhi rode his horse galloping, his yellow cloak unfolded against the wind, and he looked like an emperor on horseback. He shouted: "I am the master of the Great Tang Dynasty, mighty!"

Seeing the emperor's demeanor, the common people all cheered, and all the people said: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

In less than a mile, Li Zhi rushed to Wang Ping'an and said loudly, "Wang Shizhong, you have worked hard!"

Wang Ping'an knelt in the middle of the road, raised the flag with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the military flag of Goguryeo. I dedicate it to the Emperor!"

Li Zhi smiled all over his face, and shouted in a louder voice: "Okay!" He bent down and took the big flag, but as soon as he took it, he grinned, good guy, this big flag is heavy enough, it is enough More than 20 catties.What kind of flag is this, why is it made so heavily!
Wang Ping'an got close to him, and when he saw the emperor grinning, he immediately knew that he thought the flag was too heavy, and it would be difficult for him to hold the banner, not to mention the emperor, don't tremble halfway, and throw the flag on the ground again, that would be a joke up!
As a confidant minister, it is natural to think about the emperor.Wang Pingan shouted: "Your Majesty, the country of Goguryeo's dung, my Tang Dynasty conquered it to avenge the sons of the Central Plains, but the hateful things about Goguryeo cannot be forgiven. I also hope that the emperor will step on this flag to show evil for my brother Zhongyuan." , follow the will of heaven above, and respond to the hearts of the people below!"

Li Zhi thought to himself: "It's so good. In your words, you are really a buddy. You can even see that I think the flag is too heavy!"

The emperor's horse stepped on the battle flag of the enemy's country. With such awe and prestige, how could the people not cheer loudly, and the voice of long live once again rang out overwhelmingly!
Li Zhi stretched out his hand and said to Wang Pingan: "Wang Shizhong, you and I will ride together, let's go back to the city together!"

Sharing a ride with the emperor, Wang Ping'an was so happy that he almost fainted.When Li Shimin was alive, in order to show his trust in the minister, he often asked the minister to share a car with him. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi went further and wanted to ride with him!
Wang Pingan stretched out his hand, but said: "This, this, this is not right!" He took Li Zhi's hand, used his strength to get on the horse, and sat behind Li Zhi.

Li Zhi smiled and said: "What's wrong, if I say it's done, then everything will be done!" He patted the royal horse, and galloped along the road to Chengtianmen!
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji felt a little sour in his heart, but no matter how favored Wang Pingan was, he was always his own. He couldn't say anything else at this time, so he could only follow the emperor's wishes.He thought to himself: "This Wang Ping'an is really dizzy. Didn't I ask him to refuse everything first? He actually just talked about it, but his ass was honest and blunt. He really got on the horse!"

Helpless, Changsun Wuji shouted: "Wang Shizhong has made great contributions to the country, and deserves to be treated with courtesy by the emperor. Long live the emperor!"

The ministers had no choice but to shout, but everyone thought in their hearts: "The prince has become a servant of the king, and this Wang Ping'an has finally reached the top of the courtiers!"

The highest officer of the Menxia Province is not called the Men order, but the servant, and the servant is one of the prime ministers.Wang Ping'an became a servant, which means that he has become one of the decision makers of the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Pingan is the only one who has been a prime minister under the age of [-]. Although not hereditary, the prime minister is not unprecedented, but there will be no future ones!
