Chapter 304: Purple Robe

Wang Ping'an agreed, and hurriedly climbed the high platform, thinking in his heart: "Thank you to the emperor, the prince, and the elders who live in the previous years, so that I can make some small achievements...... By prayer, this dialectic was completed! ”

He went up to the high platform, knelt down for Li Shimin, and said loudly: "The little minister Wang Ping'an, meet the emperor, long live my emperor!" ”

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed in his heart, he robbed Wang Ping'an of all the credit, and he didn't leave anyone at all, he didn't even figure out what was going on, so he successfully prevented smallpox, and Wang Ping'an spent a lot of effort, only in the name of praying!

If he is the emperor now, then he must immediately crown the king and peace as the prince of the country, regardless of whether he has military exploits or not, it doesn't matter, if the smallpox disease is compared to a foreign enemy, which enemy is more terrible than it? Wang Ping'an was able to win the smallpox disease, which was a great feat, and no general could compare with it!

It's a pity that now he is not in power, and what he can do for Wang Ping'an is not too much!

Li Shimin did not apologize at all, he was a real emperor, not like Li Zhi. The king wants his ministers to die, how dare the ministers not die? You can only do what you want, otherwise you don't know the times!

Fortunately, Wang Ping'an is very knowledgeable about current affairs and is a handsome man, if he dares to show the slightest dissatisfaction, I am afraid that he will be clicked immediately, not to mention Wang Ping'an, even if he is a hero in Lingyan Pavilion, as long as he dares to crook his mouth at the emperor, he will be clicked immediately!

Li Shimin hummed and nodded at Wang Ping'an, this kid is good, his mouth is very strict, he never speaks nonsense, and he never takes credit, and he knows how to be a courtier. This is very good, such a courtier is promoted, so people can rest assured, if they talk nonsense and complain nonsense, then there is no need to reuse this kind of person!

"Wang Ping'an, you help the prince to distinguish the smallpox matter, and you are committed to the country, and you are hereby promoted to the Marquis of Liuxian County, the governor of Shazhou, and the position of the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, I hope you will serve the country, the imperial court, and the prince!" Li Shimin slowly said the words!

It turned out that when they were in the car, what they whispered was this, but didn't Li Zhi say that he wanted me to be the assassin of the sandbank, how did he become the governor of the sandbank?

Wang Ping'an said: "Thank you...... The minister is foolish, the minister is ashamed and dare not be, how can the minister be ...... "This set of unwritten rules is really tiring, every time you have to do this!"

After three resignations and three thanks, Wang Ping'an became a prince, and by the way, he became the governor of the king!

The people shouted loudly again, rejoicing for the king's peace.

The predecessors sprinkled sand in order to confuse the eyes of future generations, but in the eyes of the people, it was not very easy to rub sand. The official article, that's what it looks like, but what the truth is, no one will be unclear!

Who has done good deeds for the people, the people know in their hearts!

Li Zhi stepped forward to help Wang Ping'an, took his hand, stood behind Li Shimin, and accepted the cheers of the people!

After being lively for a long time, Li Shimin issued an order, the people celebrated by themselves, and the ministers followed him into the palace, and the Taiji Hall set up a banquet and feasted the ministers to celebrate the victory over the plague!

Wang Ping'an followed the crown prince Li Zhi into the Taiji Palace, sitting at the end of the ministers, he was ready, no matter how few people came to toast him today, he had to drink until the glass was dry, men, you should be bold, especially in this kind of banquet, you should let everyone know that I am the governor of the king, but a pure man, very drunk!

He thought it was very beautiful, and he drank until the glass was dry, and during the whole banquet, there was not a single minister who toasted him, but they were all toasting to Li Zhi, round after round, and he was completely ignored!

Wang Ping'an was angry in his heart, how did he do it, don't you know, I am now the governor, a hundred years later, my official position will be the envoy of the festival, and I can influence the people of the dynasty!

However, a hundred years later, the festival envoy should be a little different from the governor a hundred years ago, and he didn't know much about the setting of the rank, so he had no choice but to ask a minister next to him, this minister was wearing a purple robe and sitting on top of him.

Wang Ping'an said with a smiling face: "My lord, not long after the lower official entered Beijing, he doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, dare to ask the governor how many officials he is, should the lower official prepare for a new official uniform?" As he spoke, he looked at the minister's purple robe.

He meant to ask, am I qualified to wear a purple robe like you?

Somehow, the minister's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and he didn't know if Wang Ping'an's question was too direct, or the question was too unclassy, so he had such an expression. After a sigh, the minister said: "I'm afraid I have to prepare a new set of official uniforms, but the governor is a higher rank, and if you wear an official uniform, it may not be based on this rank!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed, but he didn't understand.

The minister looked at him and thought, "Alas, this boy is really pitiful, and he has clearly done a great job...... I'd better not say it explicitly, he'll figure it out sooner or later himself! ”

He said: "This official also has the title of governor, and he is from the third grade!" What he said was quite vague, he only said that his rank was from the third grade, but he didn't say how many grades Wang Ping'an had!

Wang Ping'an didn't understand the twists and turns, and he was overjoyed in his heart, saying that he is now a third-grade official, although he is the lowest among the third-grade officials, but he is also a third-grade official, and he is qualified to wear a purple robe. Last time, he also said to the two little girls at home, if you put on the scarlet robe, will the purple robe be far away, sure enough, it's not far, isn't this just going on!

As soon as he was happy, the smile on his face increased, and he was no longer angry that no one toasted him. It's right to think about it, what's there to be angry about, the Taiji Hall is full of big officials, and even the one who sits on top of him has the title of governor, it is estimated that if he is not here, then this minister will have to be the last seat!

Everyone is a big official, of course they won't take themselves in their eyes, just a governor, is it difficult to become such an official position, and everyone can still run over to slap themselves up!

Wang Ping'an was psychologically balanced and happy, others didn't toast him, so he went to toast others, patted his ass, told jokes, and had a pleasant meal!

It wasn't until the moon was on the branches that the banquet was dispersed, Wang Ping'an burped wine, went out of the palace, and saw Di Renjie and the Ouyang brothers waiting outside the palace, he smiled and said: "Go, go back to the Inspiration Temple!" ”

Di Renjie greeted him and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are the governor, but it's a pity that you are only the governor of the sandbank, a little smaller!" ”

Ouyang Li and the others said: "Congratulations to the master for sealing the marquis, although Zheliu County is not a good place, but it is a great thing to be able to seal the marquis!" ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "I don't want my Wang Ping'an to have a marquis one day." He looked at Di Renjie and said, "By the way, what did you say?" The governor's official position is smaller? Isn't the governor the biggest official in the region? ”

He and Di Renjie got into the carriage, and Ouyang Li and others rode horses to escort them.

Di Renjie sat down in the car and said, "Big brother, the formulation of our official rank in Datang is relatively complicated, and it is understandable that you don't understand." He explained to Wang Ping'an how big the official position of governor was in the Tang Dynasty!

The official name of the governor is not new, it existed as early as the Three Kingdoms. And in the Tang Dynasty, because it was in the era of reform of government soldiers and recruitment, so there were many changes, the governor of Li Shimin's period was different from the Li Zhi period, and the Li Zhi period was different from the Tang Ming Emperor's period, if you are not a person of this era, it is really easy to get confused!

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the governor was originally the commander of the marching army, holding the power of the army, and later changed the governor to the governor, but the military power has been deprived. The governors are divided into several types, for example, the metropolitan governors are led by the king of the sect and do not actually go to the post, while the rest of the governors are divided into upper, middle and lower three, all of which are also remote leaders and do not really go to the local government to take office. What really took charge of the local military power for the governor was actually the long history of the local area.

Any emperor who ascended to the throne by force, after ascending the throne, the first thing he did was to weaken the military power of the generals who helped him fight the world in the first place. Han Gaozu, Song Taizu, and Ming Taizu are all like this, and Tang Gaozu is also like this, but Han Gaozu and Ming Taizu are bloody, and Song Taizu is a cup of wine to release military power, as for Tang Gaozu, let the military generals "remotely lead" military power.

If Wang Ping'an was born a hundred years later, in the era of Emperor Tang Ming, if he was to be the governor, he would be majestic, and he would really be the supreme governor of the feudal town, but now it is the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is not so "amiable", what feudal town to establish, and which courtier to go to other places to be the envoy of the festival!

Wei Chigong and these ministers all have the title of governor, but they are all officials in the central government, and they do not go to the local place to take charge of the army, and only when they go out on the expedition, they carry the title of governor and lead the troops to fight.

is the same as the history of assassination, and the state in which he served is different, and the rank is different, and the same is true for the governor. For example, the history of the Thorn in the Gyeonggi area can be done from the third or fourth rank of the official, but the Thorn History outside the customs can only be made of the fifth grade, the farther away from the emperor, the smaller the grade, the grade of the Thorn History of the Shazhou is very small, from the fifth grade, then the rank of the Governor of the Shazhou is from the fifth grade, just "control" the history of the Thorn, but there is no real power!

Li Zhi was very kind, what he promised to Wang Ping'an was the history of Shazhou Thorn, and after telling Li Shimin, Li Shimin did not agree, and refused to hand over the official position with real power to Wang Ping'an, but did not reject Li Zhi's suggestion, but instead promoted Wang Ping'an by half a level, became the governor of Shazhou, and let Wang Ping'an lead Shazhou, the glory is glorious enough, but there is no actual benefit!

From this point, it can be seen that Li Shimin's wrist is much stronger than Li Zhi, and he will not give too much power to whoever he likes. Li Zhi trusts whoever he trusts, so he tries his best to give power to this person, make this person happy, and he himself is happy, and then he is issued a good person card!

After listening to Di Renjie's explanation, Wang Ping'an was disappointed in his heart, and said: "After getting the governor of Shazhou for a long time, it turned out to be only an official position from the fifth grade, which is a bit too small!" ”

is also the governor, how can there be so much difference between the early Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as two kinds of officials. Suddenly, I remembered that at the banquet, the strange look of the minister who sat on his head, it turned out that people were very happy to see him, and they were embarrassed to ruin his interest, so they didn't say it explicitly!

Di Renjie saw that he was quite disappointed, and hurriedly comforted: "Big brother, you can think the other way around, the official position of governor can be hereditary, in the future, you have a son, my little nephew will be a five-grade official as soon as he is born, you don't have to work as hard as us, to earn benefits for future generations, this is not more meaningful than you being a big official!" ”

Wang Ping'an was right, and he felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and he smiled: "Your sister-in-law still doesn't know where she is, you just remember that your little nephew is here, it's too early." sighed, and said: "I thought I could wear a purple robe, but after a long time, it was still a scarlet robe!" ”

Di Renjie laughed twice, and suddenly said: "Big brother, then you are now the marquis, among the titles of my Tang Dynasty, the marquis is from the third grade, you can wear a purple robe!" ”

Wang Ping'an was stunned for a moment, suddenly slapped his thigh, and said, "Can the marquis wear a purple robe?" I, I, I can wear a purple robe! "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, he patronizes the official position of the governor, because the official name is too shocking, and ignores the title of marquis, because the place in Zheliu County is too disturbing!

As a result, the sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the official position that he pays attention to is small, but the title that he ignores is big, and he can finally wear a purple robe!

Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "Tomorrow, let Ouyang Li go and get me a purple robe to wear, we will also be majestic!" ”

Ouyang Li heard his master calling him in the car, probed over, and said, "Master, what did you say?" ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Tomorrow you go to the ministry and ask me for an official uniform, purple!" ”

Ouyang Li sighed, but said: "Isn't the official uniform above the third grade to be prepared by yourself?" There is a ready-to-wear shop specializing in official uniforms, and the subordinates will go to order a few sets for the master tomorrow and come back, and change them to wear! ”

Talking and laughing, soon when they arrived at the Inspiration Temple, Ding Dan Ruoke Lianwu and Huizheng and them had already come back, and they were all waiting in the temple, wanting to celebrate Wang Ping'an!

So, the big feast dispersed and the small feast was opened, and it was another time to eat and drink.

The next day, Wang Ping'an didn't go out, and ordered Ouyang Li to go to a ready-to-wear shop specializing in official uniforms, and quickly made him a purple robe and official hat, and on the third day, he put on a purple robe, and then went out and went to the Imperial Medical Office.

When I arrived at the Imperial Doctor's Office, the purple robe and jade belt walked around the yamen, went from room to room, showed my identity, recognized the subordinate officials by the way, stayed up until sunset, and he was the east, and went to eat and drink!

For more than ten days, he came over like this, and he didn't do anything practical. For example, if there are other officials to handle the promotion of cowpox, he will not bother.

The weather is getting cooler and cooler, and late autumn is coming.

Wang Ping'an has been living in the Inspiration Temple these days, he has no mansion, and he refuses to go to other people's houses to borrow it, so he can only live here.

In the evening of that day, he came back from the Imperial Doctor's Department and saw Di Renjie sitting under the big tree reading, so he said: "Brother, you don't need to read, your eldest brother and I did the main exam, and you are still afraid that you will not be able to pass the Jinshi!" ”

Di Renjie smiled: "Big brother, I naturally know this, I originally reported the Ming Jing, but I changed it to Jinshi, just waiting for you to point me to the middle head!" ”

He shook the notebook in his hand and said, "I'm reading the book of building a house, the eldest brother has put on his purple robe, and he still lives in the monk's temple, it's not a problem, your Hou Mansion has to be built early!" ”
