Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 303
Wang Ping'an was also taken aback, how the reprimand came so quickly, and it was delivered in the middle of the night.According to the route, it was Li Zhi's memorial that was sent to Chang'an quickly, and the emperor immediately gave his approval, and then sent it back, without any delay!
Feeling numb in the scalp, Wang Pingan thought: "This time the disaster is really serious. It is a big joke to let me be the deputy examiner. The emperor will be furious when he reads the memorial. Otherwise, it would be impossible to do it so quickly." The reply has been issued. Maybe this matter has already been spread in the court, and it will spread to the people. When people in later generations comment on the idiom "overestimate one's strength", they will definitely write like this: A long, long time ago, There is a man named Wang Pingan..."

Li Zhi swayed, fell down on the bed suddenly, and shouted: "The orphan has a headache, the orphan has a headache! There is no disease, the orphan can't go to pick up the order, so I will pick you up on my behalf!"

Wang Ping'an was in a hurry, did he make a mistake, can someone else do it for such an important matter as receiving the imperial decree?Don't say you have a headache, even if you are going to die now, you will have to be carried away!

He said: "Your Highness, don't do this, even if the emperor wants to punish, he is also punishing the minister. What does it have to do with you, the emperor will not reprimand you, let's go to receive the order together!"

However, Li Zhi rolled around on the bed, and he said: "How does the emperor punish you? It has nothing to do with you!"

Suddenly, he stopped rolling, sat up straight again, and said strangely: "No disease, last time the emperor named you the county uncle of Zheliu, you immediately agreed, and what did you say to thank the Lord for your kindness, last time you agreed so quickly , why do you have to push back and forth this time?"

Wang Pingan grinned, scratched his head, and said: "This, this... people, they always have to grow up. I didn't know the rules last time, so I agreed a little faster. Now that I know, of course I have to refuse again and again." Already!"

Li Zhi fell on the bed again, and continued to speak half-deadly: "So, the father will not punish you, but he will punish Gu, and the ministers will also read jokes, saying that Gu likes things in the cup..."

Just as he was talking, he heard Li Ji shouting outside the door: "His Royal Highness, the emperor's imperial edict has arrived, and it was sent by Director Shi. Hurry up to receive the edict!"

Li Zhi groaned, sat up and said: "It was sent by a loyal minister, it seems that the father is really angry! I, I..." When he was anxious, he didn't call himself lonely, and called wake me up.

Wang Pingan said: "Your Highness, why don't you just hide in the room for a few days, and you may be able to avoid the emperor's punishment, maybe the emperor will forget about it!"

What he said was sarcasm, the dignified prince, who did something wrong, was afraid of his father's punishment, could it be that he is still a child?

But Li Zhi didn't realize it was ironic, and said: "How can hiding is a way? How can Father forget such an important matter!" He jumped off the bed, put on his shoes, straightened his clothes, and rushed to Wang Ping'an With a wave of his hand, he said, "Let's go, He Gu to receive the imperial decree!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Okay, I'm still a little tough!" He followed behind and left the house with Li Zhi.

Seeing them coming out, Li Ji stepped aside quickly, revealing Shi Zhongchen behind him.Shi Zhongchen's head was covered with sweat, but his face was serious. From the expression on his face, he couldn't guess the content of the imperial decree, whether it was good or bad.

Li Zhi came to the courtyard, knelt down facing Chang'an, and said, "My minister Li Zhi accepts the order!"

Shi Zhongchen unfolded the imperial decree and read it.The imperial decree was quite long, and it was written by Chu Suiliang as soon as it was heard. It was written in parallel, four Li six, and he wrote it no matter how difficult it was for people to understand.

Li Zhi had a smile on his face when he heard it halfway. He was not afraid anymore, because this edict was all about boasting about himself, saying how he had foresight, how he found Wang Pingan in the vast crowd, and how young Wang Pingan was. Promising, you can be a role model for scholars in the Tang Dynasty!

This is not to punish me, this is to praise me, saying that I did the right thing!

The most important words are always left to the last. When Shi Zhongchen read the last sentence, Li Zhi was overjoyed. He never thought that what he said after he was drunk was rated as a wise move by the ministers, and We also want future generations to be politicians, follow suit!
Wang Ping'an was stunned when he heard that, he knelt beside Li Zhi, his body was so stiff that he couldn't even move!Impossible, Li Zhi drank too much when he presented the memorial, could it be that the ministers also drank too much when listening to the memorial in the court, and Li Shimin even approved the memorial when he was very drunk?

He actually made me the deputy chief examiner!

"Here!" Shi Zhongchen finished reading the memorial, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said: "His Royal Highness, hurry up and receive the decree!"

Li Zhi even smiled all over his face, and said: "Minister Li Zhi, accept the edict and thank you!" After receiving the imperial edict, he stood up and said with a smile: "Loyal minister, why did the emperor agree to let Wang Pingan be the deputy chief examiner? "

Shi Zhongchen said with a smile: "The crown prince has far-sighted considerations, for the sake of my Tang Dynasty's century-old plan. Of course, the emperor will support it. How could he not agree!"

He looked at Wang Ping'an, and saw that Lord Wang was still kneeling upright, without even the slightest reaction!He hurriedly said: "No illness, it's time to receive an order to thank you!"

Wang Ping'an groaned, came back to his senses, and said, "Thank you? But how can the little minister, He De, be able to be the deputy chief examiner? This, this, this is absolutely impossible!"

Shi Zhongchen stepped forward to pull him up, and said with a smile: "Didn't the imperial decree say that the crown prince wants to set an example for future generations, and the emperor agrees very much, so you must set an example for the scholars of the world, and you must not let it down." The emperor and the crown prince have great expectations for you!"

Wang Pingan stood up slowly, thinking: "I have become a role model for scholars in the world? How did I do it? Why don't I know?" He was at a loss, and really couldn't say anything!

Shi Zhongchen knew in his heart that no matter who was suddenly subjected to such a great honor, or blow, no one could hold back, and it was impossible not to be in a daze!
Looking at Wang Ping'an, although he is polite, he has no hair on his mouth, and he is not even twenty years old. How can he be the chief examiner?Alas, it's really... If you say you can do it, you can do it, but if you don't accept it, you can't do it!

Shi Zhongchen turned to Li Zhi and said, "Your Highness, under your guidance, the big problem of identifying smallpox has been solved, right?"

Li Zhi nodded quickly, and said: "It's easy to solve, without any effort!"
Shi Zhongchen said: "That's good, the grand ceremony has been prepared in the capital, and we will wait for your Highness the Crown Prince to return to the capital. Let's stay for another day, and we will return to Beijing the next day!"

Li Zhi said, "Go back to Beijing so soon!"

He is still a little unwilling. Once he finds out that he is drunk, it doesn't matter if he gets into trouble. Anyway, as long as his father and uncle are there, he can solve everything for him, and bad things can be turned into good things. He doesn't want to do that. I went back to Beijing early, how nice it is to stay outside, how free I am, I can play however I want!
Shi Zhongchen said: "The court cannot be without a prince for a day, how many political affairs are waiting for you to go back and deal with the prince!"

"Then, all right!" Li Zhi reluctantly agreed.

Li Ji gave Shi Zhongchen a house, arranged accommodation for him, and everyone went back to the house to rest.

The next day, the news spread that the emperor personally appointed Wang Pingan as the deputy chief examiner. The scholars were overjoyed and ran to congratulate Wang Pingan, but Wang Pingan told them that from today until the end of the scientific examination next year, he will I won't collect the papers anymore, and I won't be anyone's confidant anymore!

But the scholars didn't care at all, they had already "worshipped into the gable of their mentor" and became Wang Ping'an's disciples, so there was no need to submit any papers, ask for a confidant, we are all the deputy chief examiners of you The disciples of the old man are a family, regardless of each other!

After a busy day, they packed their luggage, and just after midnight that night, everyone set off and left Shikeng Village.The soldiers raised their torches and began to burn the village.Smallpox patients lived here, and the syndrome differentiation was carried out. Although the results are good, the small village must be burned down before the results are spread to the world, lest unsuspecting people come in and be infected with smallpox. Prevention is not cure!
When he left the village, Wang Ping'an looked back and saw that the fire was so bright that the valley was brightly illuminated.He lived in this small village for half the summer and then half the autumn, and he has some feelings. Now that he is leaving, the small village will be turned into ashes.
Outside the valley, there was already an army waiting, and there were countless carriages, all of them came to pick up the people in the valley. All the people who participated in the trial had to go to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor and receive the cheers of the people!

In the middle of the night, the soldiers lit torches, and the group of nearly a thousand people stretched out for more than two miles. The long line was winding, like a long dragon, swimming slowly!

They set off in the middle of the night in order to reach a place thirty miles away from Chang'an before dawn. That would be the starting point of the parade for the people of Chang'an to welcome Li Zhi and others back, and the end point would be at Chengtianmen. The city celebrates, making it a grand ceremony like the Lantern Festival!
The brigade moved extremely fast and rushed all the way. Although the people in the cart were extremely bumped and uncomfortable, none of them complained. They all knew that the important moment was coming!
In one breath, they rushed out for sixty miles, but before they reached the designated place, the number of people who came to welcome Li Zhi and Wang Pingan began to increase gradually in the dark.

The common people held torches in their hands and cheered on the side of the road. When the convoy passed by, they followed behind and walked towards Chang'an City together!There were more and more people, and the line was getting longer and longer. After less than ten miles, tens of thousands of people followed the line. The torches lit up the night sky, and there were cheers one after another!

The twilight receded, and the east was pale. The brigade came to a place thirty miles away from the city. A high platform was erected here early on. On the high platform, stood two generals, both wearing gold helmets and armor, with red back covers. Cloak, these two generals are none other than Yu Chigong and Cheng Zhijie!

Around the platform, there are [-] to [-] people gathered, all of whom are from the villages and towns outside Chang'an City. They came early, not to welcome Prince Li Zhi, but to welcome Wang Ping'an. No matter how important the prince is, it is better to prevent It is very important for Wang Pingan to eradicate the evil of smallpox and eliminate the threat of the plague!

Seeing the brigade coming from a distance, Yuchi Gong said: "My good fellow, there are so many people, it seems that the parade has already started!"

But Cheng Zhijie said: "They are all people from the villages and towns outside the city, not too many, wait until the gate of the city, you can see, I guess at least one hundred thousand!"

The two smiled together, walked down the high platform, came to the side of the road, and greeted Li Zhi.

Li Zhi got out of the car, imitating Li Shimin's usual appearance when he was on tour, holding on to the railing with both hands, with a serious expression.But the excitement in his heart was indescribable, he was going to be cheered by all people again, this feeling was really good.Better than listening to music and watching dances, better than drinking and having fun, better than playing with the concubines in the Eastern Palace... In short, this is the most intoxicating thing in the world!

Wang Pingan stood behind Li Zhi, leaned against the car door, put his arms around his shoulders, and looked at Li Zhi's expression.It's funny in my heart, and I'm excited again. This prince of the Tang Dynasty is a very emotional person. He is happy and sad. Be happy, like a child.

Li Zhi turned his head and said: "No disease, look, Yu Chigong and the others are here, this is the first batch, there are two more batches to follow!"

Wang Pingan hummed, thinking: "The emperor won't come out of the city to greet him in person, will he?"

Arriving in front of the high platform, Li Jizong immediately stepped forward, and immediately greeted Yu Chigong and Cheng Zhijie. After seeing the ceremony, the two generals strode forward, knelt down in front of the carriage frame, and said in unison: "Welcome the prince back to Beijing!"

Li Zhi raised his hand triumphantly, and said: "The two lovers are free from courtesy and will return to Beijing together with Gu!"

"I obey the order!" Yu Chigong and Cheng Zhijie stood up, got on their horses, and guarded the side of the prince's chariot.

Yuchi Gong winked at Wang Ping'an, and Wang Ping'an smiled back, it was considered a greeting!

The people beside the high platform cheered together: "Welcome the prince to return to Beijing, and welcome Wang Taiyi to return to Beijing!" After shouting, they followed the brigade and walked towards Chang'an together.

Boom, boom, boom, some people brought drums and began to beat them, and some people who looked like Li Zhi took out their copper gongs and beat them bang bang, as if they were clearing the way for Li Zhi to sing the gong .

After walking another ten miles, I saw another high platform in front of me, on which stood three ministers, they were actually Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang, and behind them stood forty to fifty thousand people, all of them were black and white. people!

After the three veterans came forward to greet Li Zhi, they didn't ride in the car, but also got on the horses to protect Li Zhi's back, while the common people behind the high platform also joined the brigade.

After walking about ten miles, the city wall of Chang'an was right in front of us, and there were countless people standing in front of the moat. The number of people was so large that we couldn't estimate the exact number. They were all people, a sea of ​​people!

Wang Pingan looked up to the city gate, and saw yellow canopies standing in the city tower, and flags of various designs lined up from the city wall far away, and the number was countless.

Suddenly Li Zhi said: "Ah, the father is here!"
