Chapter 280: Easy to get on the boat, but difficult to get off the boat

When Di Renjie heard him say "I would rather offend ten gentlemen than offend a villain", he smiled and shook his head, "Brother, you have a very smooth truth, but when it comes to doing things, they are completely different. You said you don't want to offend a villain, but last night he offended more than 200 people! I can guarantee that they are all villains, not even a gentleman, at least as if we brothers are like this, there will definitely be no gentleman!"

Wang Ping'an laughed, patted his pocket, and said, "Brother, you said this well. Brother, I am definitely a gentleman. So I know they must say bad things about me behind my back, but I still have to be nice to them, shame them, and let them learn what is the principle of being a human being. This is called repaying grievances with kindness!"

Di Renjie was well-read and repaying his grievances with virtue. This is the words of the saint Confucius. He didn't know the truth! He shook his head and said, "Brother, don't take the truth out of context. Confucius is as strong as fire. When he said this, there was something to say!"

If the sentence of repaying grievance with virtue is complete, it should be: How can we repay grievance with virtue with virtue? Repay grievance with virtue with virtue! Confucius did not teach people to use kindness to repay grievance with revenge. That was a pity for later generations. When explaining the Analects of Confucius, he deliberately took the meaning out of context and distorted the original meaning.

If others treat you with kindness, you will repay you with kindness. If others treat you with grudges, don’t be polite. Fly over and hit him with a brick and his face full of blooming. This is Confucius’ original intention!

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Sage Kong is as strong as fire, but your elder brother, I am gentle, so I won't do anything to pat people!"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "If you need to make a decision, you have to pat him for being a ruthless person. How can you be polite? Brother, I think you haven't read the saint's book thoroughly. How can you be a coward? You should be happy to be avenge yourself!"

Wang Ping'an walked out of the house and said, "But your elder brother, I like to live a cowardly life!" He came to the front yard and asked Ouyang Li to lead the white dragon horse, get on the horse and go out of the temple, and rush to the Ministry of Personnel.

There was nothing to say along the way, and it was very quiet. No one ran out to beg him to be a confidant. The road was smooth and he soon arrived at the office of the Ministry of Personnel. When he arrived at the door, he turned over and got off the horse. A yamen runner had already met him and tied the white dragon horse to the stake in front of the door. Someone led him into the second hall, which was a place for officials to report to the officials.

A chief officer named Liu handled the procedures for him. Everything went smoothly. Except for the official seal that had to be cast, the rest were all done without much effort. Wang Ping'an was also given a set of fourth-rank military uniforms. The Count of the Tang Dynasty was of the fourth-rank rank, and Wang Ping'an could wear this set of official uniforms in the future.

Master Liu smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, it's almost done to report to the official body. As for the official seal, you have to wait a few days. Once it is cast, the subordinate will send it to you. In addition to the official seal, do you also need a small seal? For example, if you engrave the "Shizhen Climb Willow" in the form of your grade, you can use silver private seals."

Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Chief Liu. The official seal was paid by the court, so I have to pay for this private seal by myself, right? Let's do it, I will give you the money for making small seals. Please be sure to supervise it well and let the craftsmen make the silver seal more refined!"

Master Liu was very happy. Even if he didn't double it, he would make a fortune, let alone double it. He smiled and said, "I heard that the King of Kings is a generous person and likes to make friends the most. I originally didn't believe it, but when I saw him today, it was true that the rumors were all right!"

Wang Ping'an laughed twice and said, "I like to make friends, and this is true. To be honest, Lord Liu, just yesterday there were more than 200 scholars who ran to my residence and asked me to be their confidant!"

Master Liu thought to himself: "It is indeed a matter worth showing off so many people asking you to be a confidant, but it is useless to tell me about this matter to my Ministry of Personnel. You have to talk to the Ministry of Rites. It is not our Ministry of Personnel to take charge of the examination papers!"

He didn't want to listen to Wang Ping'an's show-off, but he said, "Oh, it's really gratifying to be so respected by the scholars! Wang Jue, you are the number one talented man in Chang'an. If you have free time, you have to help me with the poor students!"

Wang Ping'an laughed twice again, took out the list of scholars copied by Di Renjie from his arms, and said, "It's these people who ask me to be my confidant and say they want to take me as their teacher, but you have also seen it. My mouth is not full, so how could I accept students? I even took more than 200 people at once!"

"Look at what you said, ambition is not as high as age. Heroes have been young since ancient times. They are willing to worship, just accept it, so what are you polite!" Director Liu said and laughed, and took over the long list.

Suddenly, he frowned and said, "Why are these people's names still not smallpox? Why is this?"

Wang Ping'an said: "This is a long story. Let me slowly talk about Master Liu."

Hearing that he had a long talk, Master Liu grinned, saying that everyone is very busy, you can leave quickly after finishing the work, why are you tired of getting tired of it here! He shouted: "Come on, hurry up and make a pot of good tea for Mr. Wang, and ask for the best tea!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Master Liu is too polite. This list is of great use. The scholars above are willing to contribute to the court, but they have no way to serve, so they found me and wanted to participate in the dialectics to prevent smallpox!"

Master Liu said hissingly, looked down at the list, and said, "So many people, there are a little more. I have heard of the serious disease of smallpox. It is extremely dangerous. If it is not done well, even my life must be paid. Even if the court wants to find someone to participate, it will still be beneficial. Why do these scholars need to participate if they don't have any benefits? What are their intentions?"

People who are officials in the Ministry of Personnel have a problem. They always think about bad things, always thinking about who has done something, what purpose, and whether they want to be promoted through reasons. So when Wang Ping'an said that, he thought about it intently!

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Not only did they not have any bad intentions, but they also raised 10,000 yuan to the court and said they would give it to the court as the expense of dialectical smallpox. In this way, the court can save a lot of money!"

Commander Liu hissed again and said, "Ten thousand guan, this money is not small, it's enough expenses. What do these scholars want to do?"

Wang Ping'an said: "I just want to serve the country. At the same time, if the emperor can know their names, it would be even better! So I think so, this money must be dedicated to the emperor. After the emperor knows it, he will ask who donated it. At that time, he will ask the headmaster to report the list... Well, you can also write your name on it. For dialectical diagnosis, you will definitely not need the person on the list. It is just a waitlist. Everyone can use it to make a name and be known by the emperor. This is a great thing!"

Commander Liu quickly shook his head and said, "Write the name of the superior and subordinate officials... then there is no need!"

At this time, a very smart and sensual official brought the tea with a tray, and poured Wang Ping'an a cup of fragrant tea with a flattering look on his face. Wang Ping'an did not drink it, smiled at the minor official, stood up and said goodbye to Master Liu, and left the Ministry of Personnel.

Master Liu personally sent it out. After returning to the room, he was still confused. Seeing that the minor official had not left, he picked up the list and said, "There was something that I didn't understand just now. Maybe it was because the authorities were confused. You are a bystander. Think about it for me, maybe you can figure it out." He said what had just happened.

After hearing this, the little official laughed and said, "Mr. Liu, isn't this an obvious thing! These scholars are trying so hard to please the emperor to know their names. Wang Jue Ye is a person who does things, so isn't this just for them to contact you!"

Master Liu nodded and said, "He was so kind and wanted to make so many people famous at once. What benefits could he get? Where is his intention?"

The little official smiled and thought to himself: "I asked again what I meant. You can't change your suspicious problem!"

He said, "Take people on board the boat. These scholars ask for their confidants to come to him. According to the usual practice, he will definitely not be able to make all famous. Whoever falls behind will offend people. Isn't it equivalent to making all famous? He will still make them to the emperor.

The scholars went to ask his confidant, and it was easy to get on his boat. If they didn't get famous, it was easy to get off the boat. But the King of Kings made their reputation to the emperor, and he put them on his mark on the butt of the war horse. If they wanted to get off his boat, it would be difficult. If they dare to sing with him in the future, they would be said to be ungrateful, and no one would dare to accept them as being a confidant!"

Commander Liu slapped his thigh and said, "In the officialdom, we should betray the most important thing. These scholars have been on the pirate ship. It would be fine if they can't become officials in the future. If they become officials, they will become Wang Ping'an's faction. They can't even get rid of them. They can only follow his instructions. Wang Ping'an is very skillful!"

The minor official suddenly said, "Mr. Liu, I have handed over this list to you and you will report it..."

Director Liu shouted with surprise, and shouted: "Isn't this equivalent to having a relationship with him? I'm taking care of this matter, isn't it equivalent to taking me..."

The little official nodded and thought to himself: "Yes, your butt was also stamped with a soldering iron by the King of Jue Ye and marked it!"

Wang Ping'an left the Ministry of Personnel and went to the Ministry of Rites. These two ministries were not far away. When he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, the person who handled the procedures for him this time was a headman named Tian.

Wang Ping'an reported his parents' names and hometowns. His real estate in Xuzhou and the amount of land. From now on, these lands will no longer have to be paid taxes. He belongs to the privileged aristocratic class and can shelter the tenants at home and have the privilege of not paying taxes.

When Wang Ping'an talked about the industry in the middle of the capital, Director Tian was shocked and said, "Sir Wang, do you want to build your Earl's Mansion on Yang Xuangan's old house? This... this project is too big, right?"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "It's not small, I guess it will cost a lot of money!"

Master Tian said: "Mr. Wang Jue, the court has rules. Yang Xuangan's old house is at the level of the Duke's Mansion. Your Earl Mansion cannot be built so big. If you want to repair it, you can't move in directly. That's not possible. You have to take it off and build it smaller to build it!"
