Chapter 280 It's easy to get on the boat, but it's hard to get off the boat

Di Renjie heard him say the words "I'd rather offend ten gentlemen than offend a villain", shook his head with a smile and said: "Big brother, you have a good reason, but when it comes to doing things, it is completely different. You said you didn't want to offend the villain, but you offended more than 200 people last night! The younger brother can vouch for it, they are all villains, and there is not a single gentleman, at least like our brothers, there must be no frank gentlemen! ”

Wang Ping'an laughed, patted his pocket, and said: "Brother, what you said is good, eldest brother, I am definitely a gentleman, so I know that they will definitely say bad things about me behind my back, but I still have to be good to them, make them ashamed, and let them learn what is the truth of being a man." This is called repaying grievances with virtue! ”

Di Renjie reads poetry and books and repays grievances with virtue, this is the words of the sage Confucius, he doesn't know the reason! He shook his head and said: "Big brother, don't take it out of context, Old Master Confucius's temperament is as fierce as fire, when he said this, there was a following!" ”

If the sentence of repaying grievances with virtue is complete, it should be: repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue? Repay grievances with straightforwardness, repay virtue with virtue! Confucius did not teach people to repay grievances with kindness, but when he explained the Analects, he deliberately took the words out of context and distorted the original meaning.

If others treat you with kindness, you will repay with kindness, if others treat you with grudges, don't be polite, a brick flies over, and hit him with a full face, this is the original intention of Confucius!

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "Sage Kong's personality is as fierce as fire, but your eldest brother and I have a gentle personality, so I don't do anything about shooting people's bricks!" ”

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "If you should slap the bricks, you have to slap him ruthlessly, how can it be polite." Big brother, I see that you still haven't read the sage's book thoroughly, how can you be a man, you should be happy and revenge! ”

Wang Ping'an walked out of the house and said, "But your eldest brother and I like to live in a nest!" "Come to the front yard, ask Ouyang Li to lead the white dragon horse, get on the horse and leave the temple, and rush to the ministry.

There was nothing to say all the way, and it stopped very much, and no one ran out to ask him to be a confidant, and the road was smooth, and it didn't take long to arrive at the yamen of the ministry. When he came to the door, he turned over and dismounted, and there were already officials who caught up with him, bolted the white dragon horse to the pile in front of the door, and someone led him into the second hall, which is a place for officials to report their official bodies.

A director surnamed Liu went through the formalities for him, everything went well, except for the official seal to be cast, the rest did not work much, it was all done, and Wang Ping'an was also issued with a set of four-grade military generals' official uniforms, the earl of the Tang Dynasty was the rank of the four grades, and Wang Ping'an could wear this official uniform in the future.

Director Liu said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this matter of reporting the official body is almost the same, as for the official seal, it will have to wait a few days, and when it is cast, the lower official will send it to you." In addition to the official seal, do you want a small seal, such as engraved with the 'Shizhen Folding Willow', depending on your grade, you can use a silver private seal. ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, then it's hard work for Master Liu, the official seal is the court's money, and I have to pay for this private seal myself, right?" In this way, I will double the money for making the small seal, please be sure to supervise the life, and let the craftsman make the silver seal more exquisite! ”

Director Liu is overjoyed, even if he doesn't double it, he has a lot of money, let alone double it. He said with a smile: "I have heard that Lord Wang is a bold person, and he likes to make friends the most, and he didn't believe it at all, but when I saw it today, it was not true at all with the rumors!" ”

Wang Ping'an said twice: "I like to make friends, this is true." Don't hide it from Lord Liu, just yesterday more than 200 scholars came to my residence and begged me to be their confidant! ”

Director Liu thought to himself: "So many people begging you to be a confidant, it is indeed a thing worth showing off, but you tell my ministry about this matter, but it's useless, you have to go and talk to the ministry of etiquette, and it's not our ministry to manage the examination papers!" ”

He didn't want to listen to Wang Ping'an's show-off, but he said: "Oh, it's really gratifying that Lord Wang is so respected by the scholars!" Lord Wang, you are the first genius in Chang'an, if you have free time, you really have to take a good look at the end of the school! ”

Wang Ping'an sighed twice, took out the list of scholars copied by Di Renjie from his arms, and said: "It's these people who begged me to be a confidant, and they said that they wanted to worship me as a teacher, but Master Liu, you have also seen that the hair on my mouth has not grown completely, how can I accept students, and I accept more than 200 people at once!" ”

"Look at what you said, ambition is not in old age, heroes have been teenagers since ancient times. They are willing to worship, you just accept it, what is there to be polite! Director Liu smiled as he spoke, and took over the long list.

Suddenly, he frowned and said, "Why are these people not getting smallpox after their names, why is this?" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "This is a long story, listen to me slowly talk about it for Liu." ”

Hearing that he had a long talk, Director Liu grinned, you said that everyone is very busy, you should leave quickly after finishing things, what are you tired of here! He shouted, "Come on, hurry up and make a good pot of tea for Lord Wang, and ask for the best tea!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Director Liu is too polite, this list is of great use, the scholars above have the heart to contribute to the imperial court, but there is no way to serve, so they found me here and wanted to participate in the dialectical how to prevent smallpox!" ”

Director Liu sizzled, looked down at the list, and said: "There are so many people, let's have more, the matter of distinguishing smallpox and the evil disease, the lower officials have also heard about it, it is an extremely dangerous thing, if it is not good, even if it is not good, even if the court wants to find someone to participate, it is also necessary to give benefits, why do these scholars, if they don't want any benefits, they also want to participate, what are their intentions?" ”

People who are officials in the ministry have a problem, they always think about people in the bad way, always think about who has done something, what is the purpose, whether they want to be promoted by the head, so as soon as Wang Ping'an said it, he went to the heart to ponder!

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "Not only do they have no bad intentions, but they also scraped together 10,000 yuan to come out, saying that they would dedicate it to the imperial court and use it as the cost of smallpox, so that the imperial court would not be able to save a fortune!" ”

Director Liu sizzled again, and said: "Ten thousand, this money is not small, enough for expenses, what do these scholars want to do?" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "I just want to serve the country, and at the same time, if the emperor can know their names, it will be even better!" So I think so, this money will definitely be dedicated to the emperor, and the emperor will ask who donated it when he learns about it, and then he will ask Director Ma to report this list...... Well, you can also write your own name, and you definitely don't need the people on the list for dialectic, it's just a waiting list, everyone can use this to make a name for themselves, and they can be known by the Son of Heaven, which is a great thing! ”

Director Liu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Write the names of the superior and subordinate officials...... Then you don't have to! ”

At this time, a small official who looked quite energetic, holding a tray, brought the tea up, and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Wang Ping'an with a stammering face. Wang Ping'an didn't drink it, smiled at the little official, stood up and said goodbye to Chief Liu, and left the ministry.

Director Liu personally sent it out, after returning to the room, he was still confused, seeing that the little official had not left, he picked up the list and said: "There was something just now, the official didn't understand, maybe the authorities are a fan, you are a bystander, think about it for me, maybe you can figure it out." And he told him what had just happened.

After hearing this, the little official laughed hesitantly and said, "Lord Liu, isn't this an obvious matter!" These scholars are so hard to please them, just to let the emperor know their names, the prince is a person who does things, so isn't this for them to entrust the relationship, to you! ”

Director Liu hummed and said, "He is so kind, he wants to make a name for so many people at one time, what benefits can he get, what is his intention?" ”

The little official smiled and thought, "Ask what your intentions are, your suspicious problem just can't be changed!" ”

He said: "Pull people on the boat, these gentlemen have come to him to ask for confidants, according to the usual practice, he will definitely not be able to give all the fame, and whoever falls behind will offend people." If the prince does this, isn't it equivalent to being famous, but he is still promoted to the emperor.

The scholars went to ask his confidant, this is to get on his ship, it is easy to get on the ship, if you don't get famous, it is easy to get off the ship, but the prince has brought their fame to the emperor, which is equivalent to ...... It's like putting a soldering iron on the butt of a war horse, and these soldiers have been marked by him, and if they want to get off his ship, it will be difficult, and if they dare to sing against him in the future, they will be said to be ungrateful, and no one will dare to accept them as henchmen! ”

Director Liu slapped his thigh and said: "Among the officialdom, betrayal is the most taboo, these scholars are considered to have gotten on the thief ship, and if they can't be officials in the future, if they become officials, they all have to become Wang Ping'an's faction, and they can't get out if they want to, so they can only listen to his orders, this Wang Ping'an is enough to have a skill!" ”

The little official suddenly said: "Lord Liu, this list has been handed over to you, and you will report it to ......."

Director Liu screamed, his face was full of surprise, and he shouted: "Isn't this equivalent to that I have a relationship with him, and I will handle this matter, isn't it equivalent to ...... me?"

The little official nodded, thinking, "Yes, your buttocks have also been scalded with a soldering iron and marked by the prince!" ”

Wang Ping'an left the Ministry of Officials and went to the Ministry of Rites, and the two departments were not far away. When he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, the person who handled the formalities for him this time was a director surnamed Tian.

Wang Ping'an reported the name of his parents, and reported his hometown, his real estate in Xuzhou, and the amount of land and property, from now on, these fields and properties do not have to pay taxes, he belongs to the privileged aristocratic class, can shelter the tenants in the family, and has the privilege of not paying taxes.

When Wang Ping'an talked about the industry in Beijing, the Tian master was taken aback and said, "Lord Wang, you want to build your earl's mansion in Yang Xuangan's old mansion?" This one...... Isn't that a big deal? ”

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "It's not small, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money!" ”

Tian Zhu said: "Lord Wang, the court has a law, that Yang Xuangan's former residence is at the level of the Guogong Mansion, your Earl's Mansion can't be built so big, if you want to repair it and live in it directly, it won't work, you have to cover it again, and you have to build it smaller!" ”
