Chapter 303: The Prince

Wang Ping'an squinted his eyes and looked fixedly, and saw that under the umbrella cover of Huang Luo, it was Li Shimin who was standing, although he was too far away to see his face clearly, but from the color of his clothes, it could be concluded that it was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor himself actually came to greet him personally!

Since the former Sui Dynasty, if the emperor welcomes the returning courtiers, there is only one situation, that is, the courtiers go out on the expedition, and after a great victory, the class teacher returns to the court, except for this, there is no second situation, this is an unwritten rule!

But today, Li Shimin personally welcomed out of the palace and arrived at the head of Chang'an, which shows that he attaches great importance to the results of this dialectic, and regards this dialectical smallpox matter as a battle to fight, and Li Zhi is regarded as a "trainee royal driver", and he returned with a complete victory!

The winner of this campaign is Li Zhi, not Wang Ping'an, the reputation is enjoyed by Li Zhi, the reward is won by Wang Ping'an, the two monarchs and ministers, each has its own needs, each has its own gains!

The people who went out of the city to greet them were innumerable, and they all crowded at the gate of the city, cheering at Li Zhi and others.

Li Zhi got out of the car, and the guards on both sides embraced him, opening a way through the crowd. Li Zhi took Wang Ping'an and the military generals of Wenchen in the passage and walked towards the moat!

cheering all the way, Li Zhi waved to the people from time to time, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, if it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people around, he would have to sing to show the joy in his heart!

Wang Ping'an showed a faint smile on his face, and kept nodding to the people, which was considered a return of courtesy, but he never raised his hand to greet him, leaving the limelight to Li Zhi to come out, he himself knew each other very well, and he was honestly a minister!

Coming to the moat, Li Zhi knelt down to Li Shimin in the city and failed miserably, while Li Shimin in the city also bowed slightly, which was regarded as a small half salute. Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin left the city tower, came down the stairs, and walked to the city gate, during which time Li Zhi knelt all the time and did not get up.

It doesn't matter if he kneels, everyone else has to kneel with him, Wang Ping'an complained in his heart, which Cheng wanted to kneel for so long, his knees were numb, if he had known this, he would have asked Ding Danruo to prepare a knee pad for him, hide it under his pants, and he wouldn't have to kneel so hard!

Li Shimin was full of majesty, and slowly walked on the suspension bridge, and the people were all excited when they saw the emperor come out, it was the first time they had seen the emperor so close!

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" The common people knelt down in rows, and the way they expressed their excitement was very simple, that is, to shout hooray!

Li Shimin came to Li Zhi, helped him up, and said loudly: "Prince, how to prevent smallpox in this syndrome differentiation, and can it be successful?" ”

Li Zhi said loudly: "Emperor Qiqi, under the guidance of the ministers, how to prevent smallpox and evil disease has been successful!" ”

"Prince and all Aiqing, you have worked hard!" Li Shimin was still talking loudly.

Wang Ping'an and the others hurriedly said: "The ministers are not hard, this is all the work of the prince, and the ministers are just acting on orders!" ”

Li Shimin hummed, stepped forward to take one of Li Zhi's hands, and led him to the hanging city. After walking a few steps, Li Shimin suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Wang Ping'an, keep up!" ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes!" He bent down slightly, followed behind Li Shimin and Li Zhi, and walked towards the city gate.

The rest of the ministers are far away, and they will follow after the three of them cross the suspension bridge!

The people who were close to heard the conversation between Li Shimin and Li Zhi began to cheer, the Tang Dynasty surpassed any previous dynasty, and finally conquered the plague of smallpox, which was an unprecedented good thing, and everyone rejoiced. When the people behind heard the cheers, they also knew that the dialectic was successful, and they cheered, and the cheers were like a sea of cheers!

The ministers saw Wang Ping'an following closely behind the emperor and the crown prince and crossing the suspension bridge, and they all sighed in their hearts, this prince is afraid that he will be promoted in the near future and become an upstart in the officialdom, and the speed of the rise, after the founding of the country, I am afraid that he will have to rank first!

The three monarchs and ministers entered the city gate, and countless courtiers on Suzaku Street also began to cheer, shouting long live the emperor and a thousand years old the crown prince. They didn't see anything outside the city, but as soon as the emperor entered the city gate, it was clear who would be favored, and there was only one minister who accompanied the emperor's father and son in, and this person was Wang Ping'an!

Li Ke stood in the first row of the ministers, his heart was really depressed, every time he invited the favor in front of the king, every time he planned it very well, and he could invite it every time, but he couldn't get the favor, every time someone made a stumbling block, and every time he took the lead in making a stalk, it must be the eldest grandson Wuji, I really don't know how he offended this uncle!

Looking at Wang Ping'an, who followed behind his father and younger brother in a proper manner, Li Ke thought: "This person does have the ability, but it is not important to have the ability, there are too many capable people in the court, it is not unusual, the key is that he can always use his ability to get additional rewards, last time he was crowned, this time I am afraid that he will have to be crowned, right?" Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no, it should be said that since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he has not relied on military exploits, shadows, or nepotism, and he is the only one who can obtain the title of marquis! ”

Coincidentally, at this time, the ministers entered the city gate, Li Ke looked at Chu Suiliang, and thought in his heart: "Even a character like Chu Suiliang has not been awarded the title of marquis, Wang Ping'an has obtained it!" Alas, it seems that the father and emperor intended to promote the young courtiers, and he prepared in advance for what happened after Li Zhi ascended the throne! ”

As soon as he thought of this, he was unspeakably irritable in his heart, and planned to go into the palace to see his mother after the matter was over, tell her about the matter, and let the mother give her ideas!

Li Shimin took Li Zhi to Longlin, he beckoned to Wang Ping'an again, and said, "Wang Ping'an, you can drive for me!" ”

What he meant was to let Wang Ping'an be a coachman and give him a car! This is not to underestimate Wang Ping'an, but a great honor, only the most trusted courtiers can get the glory of driving for the emperor, and even driving a car for the emperor once, can be written into the epitaph, glorifying the ancestors!

Wang Ping'an agreed, boarded the dragon chariot, and said secretly in his heart: "It's bad, to drive such a big carriage, even if I have driven the carriage before, I can't adapt to it for a while!" ”

He was frightened, but the carriage began to move, and two generals dressed in the uniforms of the six-rank military attachés, one on the left and one on the right, stood beside him, smiling at him. These two generals are the real royal attendants, the chauffeurs who drive for the emperor.

It is an honor to drive for the emperor, but it is not really to ask the favored courtiers to drive such a big carriage, but just stand on the driver's seat and make a show, if you really let the king drive safely, Li Shimin will not do it, what if the car is driven into the ditch!

It was these two generals who really drove the car. The general on the left smiled at Wang Ping'an and didn't speak, while the general on the right whispered: "Lord Wang, this time it's going to be promoted again, the villain will give you congratulations first!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed softly, how can you call yourself a prince, is she really going to be a marquis? He is not an official fan, although everyone says that he can be the prime minister and the prince of the country, but he himself never thought that it would really be like that.

But no one in the world will not like to be promoted to make a fortune and leave a name in history, if someone really says that he doesn't like it, there are only two situations, one is that this person has already done this, and the other is that this person knows that he will never be able to do this!

Wang Ping'an is still very concerned about what kind of "cattle man" he can become! With a slight smile on his face, he reached into his arms, took out a large handful of golden melon seeds, stuffed them into the general's hand, and whispered, "Buy a glass of wine for the brothers!" ”

It is said that Wang Ping'an is generous, and whoever gives him good news will be beneficial, and when I see it today, the rumors are true! The general felt that the golden melon seeds in his hand were heavy, and according to the amount, it was enough for him for more than a year!

As soon as he was excited, he couldn't help but tremble, and as soon as the reins tightened, Herod, the horse pulling the cart in front, hissed, which startled him, and the sweat on his head immediately flowed down. The general next to him turned his head sideways and glared at him fiercely, be careful, now he is driving for the emperor!

Li Shimin and Li Zhi stood in the car, waving frequently to the people on Suzaku Street, smiling, and their expressions remained the same, but the two of them were whispering something, probably talking about Wang Ping'an, but the voice was too small, and Wang Ping'an, who was in the driver's position, couldn't hear it at all!

The people were even more enthusiastic, cheered loudly, and began to run with Long Yuan, constantly waving and shouting to the people in the car, trying to attract the attention of the emperor and the crown prince!

The carriages and horses marched, and after a short time, they went out of Suzaku Street and came to Chengtianmen Square!

On the square, a high color platform was built, on which a big red carpet was laid, draped in red and green, and there were 9981 lanterns, which was very festive!

Li Shimin got off the dragon chariot, took Li Zhi to the high platform, and said loudly to the ministers of civil and military affairs and the people: "The last time I sued the sky, I and the monarchs must act against the sky and eliminate the smallpox disease, and today I will sue the heavens, my Tang army and people are united, and they have defeated the smallpox disease, and I hereby tell Haotian that God knows!" ”

This time, there was no difficult letter to heaven, he just shouted: "Gentlemen, who insisted on eliminating the smallpox disease that ravaged the world?" ”

The people shouted in unison: "It's Wang Ping...... It's the emperor! ”

Li Shimin said again: "Who insisted on dialectic? ”

This time, the people learned to be obedient, and shouted again: "It's the emperor!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, and said loudly again: "Who is in charge of the dialectic?" ”

The people thought to themselves, "Aren't these all done by Wang Ping'an?" They replied loudly: "It's the prince!" ”

Li Shimin spread his hands and said loudly: "Who guided the dialectic, so as to draw the final result, so that my people of the Tang Dynasty will be free from the suffering of smallpox?" ”

"It's the Prince!" The people answered in unison!

Wang Ping'an stood in the crowd, his hands raised high, and he also shouted loudly: "It's the prince!" But I thought in my heart: "Rush in love, it has nothing to do with me!" ”

Li Shimin put down his hand, nodded, and said, "That's right!" ”

He looked at everyone and said, "In this dialectic, there is a courtier who has been by the prince's side, praying for the prince's blessing and praying for the blessing of the people of the whole world, so pious that he moved the heavens and made the dialectic successful, who is he?" ”

The people couldn't answer this time, and there was a person who prayed for blessings every day? Listen to this, is it a monk? Which temple is a monk?

Li Shimin asked and answered himself, pointed to Wang Ping'an below, and said: "He is Wang Ping'an, Wang Wu'an!" Facing Wang Ping'an, he waved his hand and said, "Wang Ping'an, come forward and listen to the seal!" ”
