Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 322 Zhongshu Sheren
Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard the words. He originally wanted Wang Ping'an to approve the memorial on his behalf, in the name of a scholar of the Chongxian Hall.But after all, the name is not right and the words are not right. After all, a bachelor is not qualified to read the memorial before it is approved.

But if Wang Ping'an entered the Ministry of Education, then he would be qualified, not only to read before approval, but also to give advice.Well, Zhongshu Sheng, this is what he does!
The central organization of the Tang Dynasty was divided into Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province.The Ministry of Zhongshu is in charge of decision-making, which is reviewed by the Ministry of Education and finally handed over to the Ministry of Ministers for implementation.Among the three provinces, the Zhongshu Province ranked first. Without the decision of the Zhongshu Province, there would be no work for the other two provinces. The other two provinces are based on the work of the Zhongshu Province!
In the era of Li Zhi, if you want to be a prime minister, you must add the title of Tong Zhongshu Menxia Sanpin. This title is a sign of participating in politics.

Li Shimin gave Wang Pingan an official position of giving up, which is the fifth rank in terms of rank.But don't think that this is a demotion for Wang Pingan. He has been demoted several times from the third-rank Lord Hou. When he becomes a fifth-rank official, he is actually promoted, and it is a big promotion!
The work of Zhongshu Sheren is to attend the Jinzou, discuss the table and chapters, and manage the affairs of the Zhongshu Province.This job is very important, and it is the only way to become a "good prime minister"!

Wang Pingan has been in this position for several years. As soon as Li Zhi ascends the throne, he will be promoted to the position of Minister of Zhongshu in the first place. Shuxing, become Zhongshuling!
What does Zhongshu Ling do? He is in charge of the emperor's administration!
Li Zhi couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said: "Father, Wang Ping'an may be younger, he is not yet twenty!"

Li Shimin stroked Li Zhi's hair and said, "It's better if you're under twenty, so you can train him and make him your confidant. If you're older and have ideas in your heart, then you can train him. But it's too late! I think back then, when father and uncle met each other, they were younger than you!"

Li Zhi hummed, nodded heavily, and thought: "Although my uncle treats me very well, he is an elder after all. He often scolds me, and sometimes I am afraid to see him. Uncle will only be sincerely respectful to my father. But Wang Ping'an It's different, he is loyal and absolutely respectful to me, just like an uncle is to his father, so, Wang Ping'an is the person I will use in the future!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Father has been worrying about vaccination for the common people for several days. I don't want to be solved by Zhi'er today. Well, this is a great thing."

He rushed to Shi Zhongchen, who was standing in the distance, and said, "Add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, let Zhi'er accompany me to eat!"

Shi Zhongchen hurriedly brought over the bowls and chopsticks, and brought hot water towels for Li Zhi to wipe clean, and then accompanied Li Shimin to eat and enjoy the family happiness!

Outside the woods, Wang Pingan stood under a big tree, and Ouyang Li was hiding in the tree.Ouyang Li hid among the leaves, and said: "Master, the guards inside took a total of 18 yuan of gold bricks. They didn't dare to carry them with them, but hid them in a tree. They probably want to come back to get them at night."

Wang Ping'an snorted and said, "It's only 18 yuan, and their appetite is too small!"

Ouyang Li laughed and said, "One piece per person is quite a lot, save some money, it will last for a lifetime!"

Wang Pingan did not raise his head, but kept looking into the distance, and said: "When they get benefits, it means they are on our boat. No matter what they see, they dare not talk nonsense. On the contrary, even if someone asks, they will We tried our best to conceal the gold from Yang's old house, and we have saved it, and if we spend it in the future, it will not attract attention, I guess the emperor will give me some of it instead!"

Ouyang Li smiled and said: "That's natural. But, to be honest, the gold can't be spent no matter how much it is spent. That Yang Su was really too greedy back then!"

Wang Ping'an snorted: "If you are not greedy, you can ruin your family and bring disaster to your descendants!"

While talking, he suddenly heard footsteps in the woods, Meng Dadian came out, Ouyang Li hurriedly hid in the tree, without making a sound or moving!
After Meng Dayian came out, he made a military salute on the ground, and said to Wang Pingan: "Master Hou, the gold bricks have been counted. A rough estimate is about 11 taels, not much more, but it will not exceed 12 taels!"

Wang Pingan hummed, and said: "Okay, just count it!" He stood by the forest with his hands behind his back, looked at Chang'an, and asked, "Brother Meng, do you have any ambitions to be a guard in the palace? "

Meng Datian didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "A low-ranking person can be regarded as a person with ambition, and I estimate that the general of the Weifu will never think about it in this life, but if he can be a general of Jinwu, he will be satisfied! "

Wang Pingan turned his head, smiled at him, and said: "Officials should be regarded as Jinwu, and wives should be regarded as Yin Lihua. This is the ambition of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. I don't want to be a Jinwu general even if I don't want Brother Meng!"

Meng Datian smirked a few times, scratched the back of his head, and said: "I didn't think so much about the humble job, I just thought, since I'm already working as a servant in the palace, why not be the most beautiful job, if I can stand behind the emperor , how wonderful that would be, Guangzong Yaozu!"

Wang Pingan nodded and said, "That's true. As a human being, you should have some ambition. Your ambition must be achievable!"

Meng Dadian thought for a while, and then said: "Master Hou, you will definitely be a prime minister in the future, and you will be in charge of the government affairs, just like the eldest grandson!"

Wang Pingan snorted and said, "Don't dare to think about it, don't dare to think about it!"

After saying this, he walked slowly to a big rock and sat down without making a sound. Meng Dayian followed and stood behind him.

After waiting for a long time, it was almost noon, and in the distance, dust was rising from the direction of Chang'an, and a group of cavalry came galloping here, with several large carts in the group!
Wang Pingan stood up and said: "The people who meet us have arrived, so many people have come!"

Meng Dayian's heart jumped wildly, he and the guards inside hid the gold bricks, fearing being discovered by others, he felt guilty and short of breath, said: "There is a battalion here! Why, why are there so many people here?"

"The large number of people here proves that the emperor attaches great importance to this matter!" Wang Pingan stepped forward, cupped his hands at the leading general, and said, "Thanks for your hard work!"

Lai Jiang got off his horse and knelt down to Wang Ping'an on one knee: "Your Majesty has worked so hard! The emperor has ordered me to escort the gold bricks to Beijing!"

Wang Pingan said: "The gold bricks are inside, guarded by the guards in the palace, absolutely nothing will be lost!"

The general stood up and smiled at Meng Dayian: "It turns out that General Meng is in charge of guarding, so there must be no mistakes!"

Meng Dayian trembled when he heard this, his heart was pounding, he smiled unnaturally, and said: "Naturally there will be no mistakes. Well, you have a lot of people here, and there are many people with mixed hands, although everyone is a brother. , but seeing so much gold, it is inevitable that you will have more thoughts, you have to watch out, don't let them take the sheep by hand!"

The general hurriedly said: "I will watch over it!" As he said that, he looked back at the soldiers he had brought, not all of them were his confidants, and he really had to be stricter.

Wang Ping'an was happy, this Meng Dayian could make up for the omissions, he said the words first, if there is a responsibility, it will be pushed to the general in front of him!

It was easier to handle things with more people. The gold was packed into boxes and transported to carts. A battalion of soldiers guarded the convoy and returned to Chang'an City.

At this time, all the ministers of the DPRK and China had arrived. They learned that Wang Ping'an had made another contribution. He actually obtained a treasure map from some old servant of the Yang family and presented it to the prince. , to charge... can only be used as domestic money!

Wang Ping'an first entered the Ganlu Hall, first saluted Li Shimin, and then ordered people to carry the gold to the hall.Open the lid of the box, and the temple is full of golden light!
No matter whether it is Li Shimin or the officials, they all exclaim in admiration, more than one hundred thousand taels of gold is a lot. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a large amount of gold in one go!

Although historians of later generations do not agree with the rule of the Sui Dynasty, they have to admit that the Sui Dynasty is indeed an extremely prosperous and powerful dynasty in Chinese history!

In terms of prosperity and strength, the Tang Dynasty can only be compared with the Sui Dynasty when Li Longji was in power, the most powerful era of the Tang Dynasty.In other words, after more than a hundred years of recuperation, the Tang Dynasty regained the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty!

However, due to the brutal rule of Emperor Sui Yang, historians of later generations deliberately avoided the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty, and only talked about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!In principle, if a person is good, then everything is good for that person, and if a person is bad, then nothing is good for that person. Anyway, the history books of the Sui Dynasty were written by Tang Dynasty people, so what good things can there be?
Sure enough, the eyes of the monarchs and ministers in the palace were shining with gold, but they all said that the Sui Dynasty deserved to die. Yang Su embezzled so much gold. From this, it can be deduced that Emperor Sui Yang was so tyrannical at the beginning. Then it can be deduced that my Tang Dynasty replaced the former Sui Dynasty, it was in accordance with the will of God, and in response to the hearts of the people!

As a result, the treasure offering meeting turned into a meeting of criticizing struggles, and then a meeting of flattery. The officials once again praised Li Shimin and Li Zhi, the father and son, to the sky. !
Among all the compliments, Wang Ping'an still had nothing to do with it.And Wang Pingan stood at the end of the group of ministers, beside the threshold of the main hall, and like the ministers, he was full of praise, each mouthful of the emperor's martial arts, the prince's mighty power, no ancient emperor before, and no emperor since!It was as if the whole matter had nothing to do with him, and he just found out about it!
The more he is like this, the more Li Zhi feels that he is caring, the more he feels indebted to him, the more he wants to reward him!

The officials in the hall praised for a long time, their mouths were dry, and finally stopped.Li Zhi hurriedly took advantage of this gap to tell Wang Ping'an and his plan to open various medical institutions in front of his father and ministers!

As soon as this idea was uttered, the ministers immediately fell silent!
This is a good idea. After all, vaccination is not a one-year or two-year event. It needs to be carried out for a long time. It can’t be done every time by collecting donations. Where will the money come from?No matter how prosperous Li Zhi is, it is estimated that he will not be able to hunt for treasure every year!
And once the institution mentioned by Li Zhi is established, not only will the court receive more income, but the common people will also get practical benefits. In any case, the large number of pharmaceuticals in the country can reduce the price of medicines, and make many people who could not afford medicines in the past The common people can have medical treatment when they are sick.

Other institutions like what Li Zhi said, such as sheltering the lonely and widowed elderly, are a concrete manifestation of the old people's need to depend on themselves, and it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people!

However, it is absolutely impossible for this idea to be conceived by Li Zhi. Such an orderly and huge idea, His Royal Highness, the wise prince, should have referred to other people's suggestions, and this suggestion... none of the ministers changed it. head, but three words emerged in everyone's heart, Wang Ping'an!

There was silence in the hall for a long while before Li Shimin asked: "My lords, what do you think of what the crown prince said?"

Changsun Wuji was the first to leave the class, and said: "The old minister thinks it is very good, and it can be carried out. The crown prince has obtained Yang's treasure, so he can carry out this matter!"

Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang also came out, saying: "My minister seconded the proposal!"

Li Shimin hummed, turned his gaze, looked at a member of the class, and said, "Ma Aiqing, what do you mean?"

A minister in the court class who was only about forty years old, but as old as sixty years old, walked out slowly and said: "I think it can be implemented, and I will leave this matter to the minister. Within a few days, the minister will do it." The specific matters can be stated in a list!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Then I will leave it to Ma Aiqing!"

This Ma Aiqing is none other than one of the famous prime ministers in the last years of Zhenguan, Zhongshuling Ma Zhou!

Ma Zhou was not a hero in Lingyan Pavilion, nor was he from a wealthy family like other prime ministers.He is an out-and-out person who becomes a prime minister by his own ability, and is a typical man of action.

At the same time, Ma Zhou is also Li Zhi's teacher. In other words, as a bachelor of Li Zhi's Chongxian Hall, Wang Ping'an should also call him a teacher. Book early!

Ma Zhou was born in a poor family, and was born in a poor farm family for generations. His parents died when he was young, and he was lonely. He was always looked down upon by others.When I came to Chang'an when I was young, I had no food or clothing, and I was stared at and ridiculed countless times!

But gold shines everywhere. With a policy theory, he was appreciated by Li Shimin, and thus entered the court, first as a Zhongshu Sheren, and then as a Zhongshu Ling.

Li Shimin once said in public that if I don't see Ma Zhou for a day, I miss him!And Ma Zhou also devoted himself to death in office, before Li Shimin died!

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, with Ma Aiqing's words, I can rest assured." He waved to Wang Pingan behind him, and said: "Wang Pingan, come forward."

Wang Pingan agreed, stepped forward and knelt down.

I heard Li Shimin say: "Ma Aiqing, Wang Ping'an is the companion student of the Prince's Chongxian Hall, and he is still your disciple, so I will leave it to you. I will be a servant in the Ministry of Education, and you will be trained nearby..." Suddenly After a pause, he said again: "In case he will become the deputy chief examiner next year, and when he approves the papers, there will be a joke!"

Ma Zhou glanced at Wang Ping'an, nodded, and said to Li Shimin, "I obey the order!"

Wang Ping'an was taken aback, and his heart beat wildly. He knew that there must be a reward, but he never thought that he would enter the Zhongshu Province and become a Zhongshu Sheren!
