Chapter 304 Purple Robe

Wang Ping'an agreed and quickly climbed up to the platform, thinking to himself: "Thank you, thank the emperor, thank the prince, thank you for the seniors and seniors who live in it, I can only achieve some small achievements... By praying, I completed this dialectic!"

He went up to the high platform, knelt down for Li Shimin, and shouted: "Little minister Wang Ping'an, pay homage to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Li Zhi felt a little embarrassed. He snatched all Wang Ping'an's contributions, not giving him a single trace of it. He didn't even understand what the dialectical diagnosis was, so he successfully prevented the disease of smallpox. Wang Ping'an spent all his efforts and only had the name of prayer!

If he was the emperor now, he would have to immediately make King Ping'an the Duke of the Kingdom. Regardless of whether he had military achievements or not, it doesn't matter. If he compared the evil smallpox disease to the enemy of the Gentiles, which enemy is more terrifying than it? Wang Ping'an can defeat the evil smallpox disease, which is a great military achievement. No general can compare with it!

Unfortunately, it’s not his rule now, so there are not many things he can do for Wang Ping'an!

Li Shimin did not apologize at all. He was a real emperor, but he was not like Li Zhi. If the king wanted his ministers to die, how dare he not die? If you want you to do anything, you can only do whatever you want, otherwise you will be unaware of the current affairs!

Fortunately, Wang Ping'an is very sensible and a hero. If he dares to show any dissatisfaction, he will be caught immediately. Not to mention Wang Ping'an, even a hero in Lingyan Pavilion, as long as he dares to be slandered at the emperor, he will be caught immediately!

Li Shimin nodded and nodded at Wang Ping'an. This child is very good. He is very strict and never speaks randomly. He never takes credit. He knows the duty of being a subject. This is very good. Only when such a subject is promoted can people feel at ease. If he talks randomly and complains randomly, there is no need to reuse such a person!

"Wang Ping'an, you have made contributions to the country to help the prince diagnose smallpox. You are hereby promoted to the Marquis of Zheliu County, the governor of Shazhou, and the position of Imperial Hospital. I hope you can serve the country well, serve the court, and serve the prince!" Li Shimin slowly said the words!

It turned out that when they were in the car, this was what they said in a low voice, but didn’t Li Zhi say that I would be the governor of Shazhou, how could I become the governor of Shazhou?

Wang Ping'an said: "I thank you... I am foolish, I am ashamed of you, I dare not take it. What kind of virtue can I do..." This set of unwritten rules is really tiring, I have to do this every time!

After saying and thanking each other three times, Wang Ping'an became the prince and the governor!

The people cheered loudly again, happy for Wang Ping'an!

The predecessors scattered sand to conceal the eyes of future generations, but the people were not very easy to knead sand. Official articles were just like to do, but no one would be unclear about the facts!

The people know who did good things for the people!

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

After a long time of lively, Li Shimin issued an order, and the people celebrated themselves, and the ministers followed him into the palace, and held a banquet for the ministers, using it to celebrate the victory over the plague!

Wang Ping'an followed the prince Li Zhi into the Tai Chi Hall and sat at the end of the ministers. He was ready. No matter how few people came to toast him today, he would have to drink until he drank. As a man, he should be more generous, especially at such a big banquet. Everyone should know that I, the Governor of the King, are a pure man, and have a lot of alcohol!

He thought it was pretty and he was drunk. At the whole banquet, there was no minister toasting him. Instead, he toasted Li Zhi, one round after another, and he was completely ignored!

Wang Ping'an was angry. What happened? Don't you know, am I the governor now? A hundred years later, my official position will be the governor, and I can control the people in the court!

However, the Jiedushi a hundred years later and the governor a hundred years ago should be a little different. He didn't know the setting of grades very well, so he had no choice but to ask a minister next to him, who was wearing a purple robe and sat on his head.

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Sir, the lower officials have just entered the capital and don't know much about the matter in the court. How dare you ask what the governor is? Should the lower officials prepare for a new official uniform?" As he said that, he looked at the purple robe on the minister's body.

What he meant was asking, do I have the right to wear a purple robe like you?

Somehow, the minister suddenly showed an embarrassing look on his face. I wonder if Wang Ping'an asked too directly or the question was too unclassified, so he actually had this expression. He uh, and the minister said, "I'm afraid I have to prepare a new set of official uniforms, but the governor has a higher title. If you wear official uniforms, this level may not be the basis!"

Wang Ping'an said oh, but he didn't understand.

The minister looked at him and thought to himself, "Oh, this child is so pitiful. He has made great contributions... I'd better not say it clearly, anyway, he will understand it myself sooner or later!"

He said, "I also have the title of governor, and I am from the third rank!" What he said was quite vague. He only said that his governor was from the third rank, but he did not say what level Wang Ping'an was!

Wang Ping'an didn't understand the twists and turns, and was overjoyed. He said that he is now a third-rank official. Although he is the lowest among the third-rank officials, he is still a third-rank official and is qualified to wear a purple robe. Last time he told the two little girls in his family that if he wears a red robe, will the purple robe be far away? It's not far away. Isn't it just put on it?

When I was happy, the smile on my face became more and I no longer got angry at no one toasting him. I thought it was right, what was there to be angry about? The Tai Chi Hall was full of high officials, and even the one sitting on my head had the title of governor. I guess if it weren't for me here, then this minister would have to be the last seat!

Everyone is a high-ranking official, so of course he won't take himself seriously. He is just a governor. Could it be that he has become such an official position and that everyone can come here to curry favor with him?

Wang Ping'an was mentally balanced and became happy. If others didn't toast him, he would toast others, flatter and tell jokes. The meal was enjoyable!

It was not until the moon was on the branches that the banquet ended. Wang Ping'an burped out of the palace and saw Di Renjie and Ouyang brothers waiting outside the palace. He smiled and said, "Let's go back to the Inspiration Temple!"

Di Renjie greeted him and smiled and said, "Brother, you are the governor, but unfortunately you are the governor of Shazhou, a little smaller!"

Ouyang Li and others said, "Congratulations to the master for being a marquis. Although Zheliu County is not a good place, being a marquis is a great thing to be a marquis!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "I don't want me, Wang Ping'an, to be a marquis for one day." He looked at Di Renjie and said, "By the way, what did you say? The position of the governor is a little smaller? Isn't the governor the largest official in the local area?"

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

Di Renjie sat in the car and said, "Brother, the official ranks of our Tang Dynasty are quite complicated, and it is understandable if you don't understand." He explained to Wang Ping'an how old the position of governor was in the Tang Dynasty!

The title of the governor was not a new one, but it was found in the Three Kingdoms. In the Tang Dynasty, because it was in the era of reform of government soldiers and recruiting troops, there were many changes. The governors during the Li Shimin period were different from those during the Li Zhi period, and the Li Zhi period was different from those during the Minghuang period of the Tang Dynasty. If it were not for the people of this era, it would be easy to get confused!

The governor in the early Tang Dynasty was originally the general manager of the army and held military power. Later, the general manager was changed to the general manager, but the military power had been deprived. The governor was divided into several types, such as the general governor was led by the sect king and did not actually take office. The other governors were divided into three types: upper, middle and lower, and they were all remotely controlled and did not really take office. The one who really took over the local military power was actually the local chief minister.

The first thing any emperor who ascended the throne by force after ascending the throne was to weaken the military power of the generals who helped him conquer the world. This was the case with Emperor Gaozu of Han, Emperor Taizu of Song, Emperor Taizu of Ming, and Emperor Gaozu of Tang, but Emperor Gaozu of Han and Emperor Taizu of Ming were killed and blood flowed into a river, Emperor Taizu of Song released military power with a cup of wine, and Emperor Gaozu of Tang asked the generals to "recruit" military power.

If Wang Ping'an had been born a hundred years later, in the era of Emperor Minghuang of Tang, if he was the governor, he would be so majestic and would be the highest commander of the vassal state. But now in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was not so "kind and amiable". He would establish a vassal state and let any minister go to other places to become a governor!

Ministers such as Yuchi Gong all had the title of governor, but they all served as officials in the central government and did not take charge of troops in the local area. They only took the title of governor and led troops to fight when they went to war.

The same governor is the same, and the same is true for different states of office, and the governor is the same. For example, the governor in the Gyeonggi area can be from a third or fourth rank, but the governor outside the pass can only be a fifth rank. The further away from the emperor, the smaller the rank. The rank of the governor of Shazhou is very small, and he is from the fifth rank. Then the governor of Shazhou is from the fifth rank, and he just "controls" the governor of the governor, but he has no real power!

Li Zhi was very kind. He agreed to give Wang Ping'an the governor of Shazhou. After talking to Li Shimin, Li Shimin refused and refused to hand over the official position with real power to Wang Ping'an. However, he did not reject Li Zhi's suggestion. Instead, he promoted Wang Ping'an half a level and became the governor of Shazhou, allowing Wang Ping'an to take Shazhou from afar. The glory was glorious enough, but there was no practical benefit at all!

From this point of view, we can see that Li Shimin is much better than Li Zhi. He will not give anyone too much power just because he likes. Good man card is not destined to be with Li Shimin. Li Zhi trusts anyone and gives power to this person to make this person happy. He is also happy, and then he is given a good man card!

After hearing Di Renjie's explanation, Wang Ping'an was disappointed and said, "I've been working on the Shazhou Governor for a long time and he's just an official position from the fifth rank, which is a bit too small!"

The same governor, why are there so many differences 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 minister who sat in the head was strange. It turned out that people were very happy to see him and were embarrassed to discourage his joy, so I didn't say it clearly!

Seeing that he was quite disappointed, Di Renjie hurriedly comforted him: "Brother, you can think about it the other way around. The position of governor can be hereditary. In the future, if you have a son, my little nephew will be a fifth-rank official when he is born. You don't have to work hard like us and earn benefits for future generations. This is not more meaningful than being a high-ranking official!"

Wang Ping'an was right to think about it, and he felt a little relieved. He smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is still there, but you remembered that your nephew is coming, which is too early." He sighed and said, "I thought I could wear a purple robe, but after working for a long time, I was still a breeze robe!"

Di Renjie laughed twice and suddenly said, "Brother, you are the marquis now. Among my titles in the Tang Dynasty, the marquis is from the third rank. You can wear a purple robe!"

Wang Ping'an was stunned, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Can the marquis wear purple robe? I, I can wear purple robe!" The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. He was just thinking about the position of governor, because the official title is too shocking, and he ignored the title of marquis because the place in Zheliu County is too annoying!

As a result, the sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the official position he paid attention to was smaller, while the title he ignored was larger. He could finally wear a purple robe!

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

When Ouyang Li heard the master calling him in the car, he leaned over and said, "Master, what did you say?"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Tomorrow you go to the Ministry of Personnel and ask me for my official uniform, it's purple!"

Ouyang Li said, but said, "Don't you need to prepare the official uniforms of third grade or above? There is a ready-made garment shop that specializes in official uniforms. I will go to order a few sets for the owner tomorrow and change them to wear them!"

Talk and laugh, and soon arrived at the Inspiration Temple. Ding Danruoke, Lianwu, Hui Zheng and others have been back long ago, and they are all waiting in the temple, wanting to celebrate Wang Ping'an!

So, the banquet ended and a small banquet was held, and there was another meal and drink.

The next day, Wang Ping'an refused to go out and ordered Ouyang Li to go to a ready-made garment shop that specializes in official uniforms. He quickly made him a purple robe and an official hat. 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 Medical Office, I walked around the yamen with purple robes and jade belts, went to see each room, showed my identity, and recognized my subordinates. I waited until the sunset, and let him go to eat and drink!

This is how he has been here for the next ten days, and he has not done anything practical. For example, if other officials have to deal with it, he will not work hard.

The weather is colder every day, and late autumn is coming.

Wang Ping'an has been living in Inspiration Temple these days. He has no mansion and is unwilling to live in other people's houses, so he has to live here.

In the evening of that day, he came back from the Imperial Medical Office and saw Di Renjie sitting under a big tree to study, he said, "Brother, don't need to read books anymore. Your elder brother, I am the chief examiner. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to pass the Jinshi!"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Brother, I naturally know this. I originally reported to the Ming Dynasty, but I changed it to a Jinshi. I'm just waiting for you to point my middle-shaped head!"

He shook the book in his hand and said, "I am reading a book for building a house. My elder brother has put on his purple robe and still lives in the monk temple. It's not a big deal. Your marquis's mansion has to be built early!"
