Chapter 272: Prince Dotiti

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "This is natural, and the lower officials can get the method of preventing smallpox, is it ...... It was in the Chongxian Pavilion to turn the book, and under the guidance and inspiration of His Royal Highness the Prince, the method found was all the work of the Prince, and the lower officials were just the people who handled it, and they did what they were instructed to do according to His Royal Highness the Prince's instructions! ”

Shi Zhongchen laughed twice, patted Wang Ping'an's hand, and said, "You are a smart young man, you only need to understand everything." ”

He thought for a while, and then said: "No disease, our family has always treated you as our own nephew, and there are some things that our family is not interested in talking about others, but we have something to tell you." ”

Wang Ping'an immediately changed his words and said, "Little nephew, listen, please teach Uncle Shi." ”

In his eyes, Shi Zhongchen doesn't seem to be a eunuch, not the kind of person who has no ability, but prefers to play with power, maybe because of the emperor's relationship, in front of a strong monarch like Li Shimin, it is not Shi Zhongchen's turn to play tricks. But Shi Zhongchen is not like a eunuch, but like a big bureaucrat, he speaks and acts, all according to the habits of being an official, and he also loves to stick a fake beard, if he takes off his eunuch clothes, puts on a three-grade official uniform, and goes to the gate of Zhongshu Province or Menxia Province to stop, it is really easy for others to misunderstand and think that he is a Xiangye!

Shi Zhongchen said: "Being an official, if you want to be big, there are two situations, one is that the credit is so great that it is boundless, just like the eldest grandson, his credit is great, so he doesn't have to care about anyone, but even so, if he has credit, he will not say that it is his own, but will definitely share it with others." The other is to slowly accumulate merit in order to get promoted and get a knighthood, which is more difficult. This kind of practice, with the merit, don't swallow it alone, don't think that the merit is made by yourself, so the reward should be all by yourself, and the credit should be shared with others, do you understand what our family means? ”

Wang Ping'an hummed and nodded: "The little nephew understands, Uncle Shi is telling the little nephew that if you want to take it, you have to give it first, and only by letting everyone get the benefits, will they let the little nephew get more benefits!" ”

Shi Zhongchen clapped his hands and smiled: "What a smart baby, as soon as our family says it, you can understand." You think, if you make a meritorious service, which is supposed to be only three points, but you give two points to others so that everyone can get benefits, then you must not think that there is only one point of merit left, and the reward you get is only one point.

When everyone gets the benefit, not only will they not share your reward, but they will hold your credit upwards until ten points, because only if your credit is great, then they will be able to share the credit by the way, and they are actually praising themselves. In this way, your remaining credit will easily become 10 points, and the 3 points of credit you have made, plus the one you give to others, will often become 17 or 8 points, or more, so that the benefits that everyone gets will not increase together! ”

Wang Ping'an understood as soon as he heard it, this was to teach him to be an official, to teach him how to mix better in the officialdom.

In fact, this principle is very simple, and it can often be encountered in modern times. For example, when someone does a good job in business, has great achievements, and is praised in a meeting, he must say who to thank first, and who to thank second...... In fact, I didn't do anything, it's all everyone's credit, how to say it, and then say that I'm just lucky, in fact, I don't have any ability at all, it's all with everyone's help that I have today's performance, and then how to say it.

Then there will be applause below, leaders and colleagues have expressed their satisfaction, this time to give this person a bonus, in the future, when the salary is raised, and when you make extra money, you can be sure that everyone will continue to think of this person!

If during the speech, the person forgot to say who he thanked and did not give credit to him...... Then it's a big trouble, and the consequences are serious, just wait and see, make sure that the little shoes are put on this person one by one!

The same is true in ancient and modern times, and this kind of thing is happening every day, which is not surprising at all!

Wang Ping'an understood this truth, but he didn't know how to say it specifically, he was afraid that if he said it wrong, the good thing was not done, but it became a bad thing. He said: "Uncle Shi, my little nephew has never done such a thing before, what should I do, please teach me!" ”

Shi Zhongchen smiled and nodded, although there was no one else in the car, he still lowered his voice and said, "After seeing the emperor, you have to say this, so and so, so and so ......."

After listening to Shi Zhongchen's "guidance", Wang Ping'an really felt bad in his heart, and thought: "Li Zhi, Li Zhi, so many people have helped you and worked hard to pave the way for you, you haven't been a good emperor in the future, I'm really sorry not only for yourself, but also for others!" ”

It turned out that Li Shimin summoned Wang Ping'an in the East Palace, which made it clear that he wanted to give a spoonful of credit to Li Zhi, and he, the prince's son, had nothing to do except for coming out of the belly of the eldest grandson queen, except for the root Zheng Miao Hong, there was nothing else.

If you want to grow into a big tree, as the king of a country, shelter the people of the world, it is not enough to rely on the good belly of the old lady, you have to have some ability, and you have to have some loud political achievements. But what about Li Zhi, so far, nothing is useless!

So Li Shimin wanted to let the matter of smallpox have something to do with Li Zhi more or less, so Wang Ping'an was summoned to Chang'an by the prince, and he knows people and has a good eye, which is also a kind of ability!

But the people at the bottom think more. Wang Ping'an knew that Li Zhi would become the emperor smoothly, although the degree of the nest can be described as outstanding, but he did become the emperor. But the people of this era don't know that there is a big threat to Li Ke, and they always think that Li Zhi is in danger of being abolished at any time, and as a courtier, he has the obligation to eliminate this danger for Li Zhi!

In fact, if someone else is replaced, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, he will also teach the same similar words, so that Wang Ping'an "knows the times and is a handsome"!

The carriage did not stop, all the way to the palace, entered the East Palace from Chongfu Gate, and went straight to Chongxian Pavilion! In front of the door of the hall, Shi Zhongchen went in to hand over the order, and Wang Ping'an waited outside the door.

After a long while, the little eunuch came out and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the emperor has summoned you in!" ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Thank you little father-in-law for your report." He reached into his arms, took out a few golden melon seeds, and stuffed them into the hands of the little eunuch.

The little eunuch was overjoyed, he had long heard that Wang Ping'an was generous, and everyone who saw him could be beneficial, and today he only passed on a letter and was rewarded. Holding the golden melon seeds tightly in his hand, the little eunuch led the way in front of his head, and whispered: "Lord Wang, there are not only the emperor and the prince in the palace, but also the eldest grandson, all of whom are important ministers of the state, and half of them are great heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion. ”

The little eunuch looked left and right again, and said even more quietly: "Your courtesy to General Li Ji and Li must be thoughtful!" After saying that, he immediately lowered his head, walked with his head down, and stopped talking.

"Thank you for your advice!" Wang Ping'an said with a smile. It's been a long time, so many people are waiting to see me, and they have to be considerate to Li Jili for a few days, why is this? However, this little eunuch took my money, and what he said was naturally useful!

Coming to the outside of the main hall, Wang Ping'an looked inside, good guy, the old man in the hall, except for Li Zhi next to Li Shimin, the rest of the people are not young, it seems that these people are the characters on the tip of the pyramid of the Tang Dynasty. I heard the little eunuch say in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, Wang Ping'an, a scholar of Chongxian Pavilion, has come by order." ”

Li Shimin was looking down at something, he didn't raise his head, he hummed, and said, "Xuan." ”

The ministers in the hall turned their heads together and looked at Wang Ping'an, except for Li Ji, in fact, they were all at the poetry meeting, and they had seen Wang Ping'an, Li Ji was sick and did not participate in the poetry meeting, this was the first time to see Wang Ping'an.

Li Ji touched his beard and thought, "How can he be so young, can he?" ”

Wang Ping'an took a deep breath, crossed the threshold, and entered the main hall, he did not go forward, but knelt down behind the threshold, and said loudly: "The minister Wang Ping'an sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Wei Chigong whispered to Li Ji: "Mao Gong, don't look at his young age, how is it, he knows how to be polite, he is not reckless at all!" ”

Li Ji nodded slightly, coughed twice, and didn't say anything. As a courtier, it's not normal to know how to be humble and humble, what is there to praise.

Li Shimin glanced up at him and said, "Come forward and speak." The attitude was very flat, and he didn't even say anything about giving the seat, just like he didn't know Wang Ping'an before.

Wang Ping'an got up, walked closer, and knelt down again, but didn't let him get up to reply, so he could only kneel!

Li Shimin didn't say anything superfluous, and asked directly: "I heard Wuji say that you have a way to prevent smallpox, but is it true?" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "The minister has indeed obtained a new law, but it still needs to be verified. ”

Li Shimin said again: "How did you get this new law? ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "It is under the inspiration of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the minister obtained this new law!" ”

Li Shimin sighed, immediately closed the concerto, smiled on his face, and said, "Yes, how did you get the new law under the inspiration of the crown prince, and tell me in detail." Come, give a seat! ”

Shi Zhongchen smiled, lifted up an embroidered dragon pier, and placed it at the end of the ministers, allowing Wang Ping'an to sit down, while winking at him. That means to say, "Look, what our family teaches you outside, it's not in vain." If you want to say that the minister was watching the shepherd boy in Wuli Village and discovered the new law, then you should kneel and reply. But as soon as you say that it was inspired by His Royal Highness the Prince, how about it, there will be a seat immediately!

Wang Ping'an sat on the embroidered dragon pier and said: "It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who took the ministers out of the city, talked about the suffering of smallpox, and then asked the ministers to see the shepherd boy herding cattle......"

Before he finished speaking, the ministers got up together and said: "It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first mentioned the suffering of smallpox, and asked Wang Ping'an to think about it!" ”

Li Zhi's face turned red, and he was embarrassed to answer, but his eyes looked at Wang Ping'an, and there was a look of gratitude in his eyes.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "It turned out to be a method that Zhi'er came up with, I have to listen to it carefully." Come on, show Wang Aiqing tea! ”

Shi Zhongchen hurriedly brought Wang Ping'an a cup of tea and smiled at him again.

Wang Ping'an took the teacup and thought: "I only mentioned two sentences about His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a seat, Cheng Aiqing, and now even the tea is in hand, it seems that the word prince will have to be on his lips from time to time in the future!" ”
