Chapter 488: The Imperial Order is here

Wang Ping'an was overjoyed, stood up and looked at the officials around him. The officials around him also looked at him. Everyone knew that he had come. After waiting for these many days, the imperial edicts finally came!

An official shouted: "I am congratulating you first!"

As he took the lead, the officials said in unison: "Congratulations to the prince, you are going to ask for your Gaosheng wine!"

Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "Wine is easy to say! "

Xu Jingzong reacted faster than anyone else. He was a famous flatterer, but he could flatter him much more than others. He stood up and shouted, "The prince... no, no, it should be the prince. The official congratulations to you in advance. It is a matter of time before you can congratulate you in advance!"

Wang Ping'an yelled and said, "It's too difficult to be the prime minister, and it's not easy to be a Duke. How could I have such great contributions to the court that I can make me a Duke!"

The officials thought to themselves: "Hey, this fat man Xu is really good at speaking. If this imperial edict has granted Wang Ping'an as a public servant, then he is foresighted and curled Wang Ping'an to get the throne. But if this imperial edict has not given Wang Ping'an as a public servant, it doesn't matter. The 'a matter of time' in his words, 'can't wait for that time', there is no honest word, and flattery is still loud. And even if he has not promoted Wang Ping'an's title, he can still say with surprise, "The Prince, the Lord, the official is right, are you going to go one step further from the throne..."

Flattering is really a science. You have to study it carefully to master this technique. If you shoot randomly, you won’t be able to do it!

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "Everyone, put down what you have at hand first and follow me to receive the imperial edict. By the way, I will quickly notify Lord Fang and Governor Gu and the others and ask them to go to the front yard to receive the imperial edict, so don't waste time!"

He led a group of officials to the front yard and saw a eunuch standing in the yard. He recognized that this was Mi Xiaomiao, who was the one who brought himself from Xuzhou to Chang'an and hadn't seen him for some days.

Wang Ping'an asked his men to set up a table of incense. He came to Mi Xiaomiao with a smile on his face and bowed, "Mr. Mi, you have always been good. Look at this robe, you have been promoted!"

Mi Xiaomiao smiled and said in a poor voice: "Mr. Wang and Marshal, isn't this a blessing for you? Our family has just been promoted... Oh, look at our stinky mouth, how can we call you Wang and Marshal? Isn't this a waste?"

His eunuch had a temper arose, and he deliberately kept half of it, and did not say anything intact, waiting for Wang Ping'an to ask.

Wang Ping'an's heart was thundering. Could it be that he had really been promoted? He asked in cooperation: "Mr. Mi, what do you mean? Is it possible that the court has surrendered my title and demoted me?" He deliberately pretended to be frustrated.

"Look at what you said, what are you talking about? Where can the imperial court give you a title? The emperor still can't bear to you!" Mi Xiaomiao said with a smile, patted the imperial edict in his arms, and said mysteriously: "Guess, what is said in this imperial edict, our family will definitely not be able to guess!"

Yes, even if you guess it right, it is hard to say it out loud! Wang Ping'an said, made a thoughtful statement, and said, "I really can't guess this. But since I sent Lord Mi to deliver the order, there must be something important, otherwise how could I send you here if I could go so far!"

Mi Xiaomiao has a strange appearance and a baby face. After hearing Wang Ping'an's words, she smiled even more brightly. He said, "Look, look, your mouth is so sweet. No wonder the emperor loves you, and His Royal Highness also spoils you. Even our General Manager Shi always takes you to heart."

He looked back and saw that Fang Xuanling and the others had not come out yet, he said again: "We are working in the East Palace. This is not our turn to send the imperial edict. But General Shi Da saw that the prince really misses you very much, so he specially ordered our home to come to you so that he could tell you something that others could not say!"

Wang Ping'an said oh, feeling something faintly in his heart. He said, "I have to stay in private and talk to you tonight!"

Mi Xiaomiao nodded and said, "Success, that's all, Wang...gong!" As she said that, she laughed loudly.

The two words behind him were quite loud. Not only did Wang Ping'an hear them, but all the officials behind him heard them. Everyone exclaimed in unison, "I've really been named Duke, how old is Wang Ping'an, so I'll be named Duke!"

Xu Jingzong rushed over and shouted, "Prince, Prince, congratulations! Oh, this is Eunuch Mi, who is famous in Chang'an. He has heard of his reputation for a long time and is well-known!"

He is good at flattering, but if he slapped too much, he would inevitably be kicked by a horse. He just pricked his ears and heard that the eunuch's surname was Mi, but he didn't notice that Wang Ping'an always called him Lord Mi, not Eunuch Mi. In this era, the word "六" was a respectful title for the powerful internal officials, so he called Eunuch Mi!

However, what Mi Xiaomiao hated most in her life was that others called him father-in-law. As long as he could not admit it, he never admitted that he was a eunuch!

When he brushed the ground, his face fell off. Mi Xiaomiao snorted, rolled his eyes at Xu Jingzong, turned his head and ignored him!

Xu Jingzong's legs became weak and almost knelt on the ground. With such an eunuch's attitude, could the court have done anything to him? The eunuch has always been snobbish, and those who are in power have tried their best to step on him, and those who are in power have trampled on him. Are he going to be unlucky? He didn't expect that it was the word "father-in-law" and he thought there was a rebuke about him in the imperial edict!

At this time, Fang Xuanling rushed over after hearing the news, and Gu Lantian and Wang Wendu also arrived. There were a large group of civil servants and generals following them, all of whom came to listen to the imperial edict. They all knew that this imperial edict must be about rewards, and they might have their own share.

Burn incense and kneel down.

Mi Xiaomiao launched the imperial edict and read it loudly. The first one was naturally a big praise to Fang Xuanling. He was an old comrade-in-arms of the emperor. Even if his contributions were not the first, he had to be ranked first. This is called identity.

Fang Xuanling was moved when he heard that he wanted to give him a son to be a marquis. Both of his three sons had a future, and the last one was missing. What he was most worried about was his younger son's problem, but he didn't want it to be solved all at once.

He sighed in his heart. He thought that this border patrol was a big chore, but unexpectedly, he was attracted by Wang Ping'an's light. He took advantage of his east wind and even made his youngest son a Marquis. He was so happy! He turned his head and looked at Wang Ping'an from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that Wang Ping'an was very nervous and listened with all his attention.

The imperial edict then praised Gu Lantian and other Yumen Pass generals, rewarded them one by one, and spoke for a long time.

Wang Ping'an knelt on the ground, sweating on his forehead, thinking, "Why can't this be me yet?"

The imperial edict was read until the end, and Mi Xiaomiao said: "The prince of Zheliu County, Wang Ping'an, has made great contributions to defending the territory. I am very pleased. The prince is also happy. He specially asked to be promoted to the title of King Ping'an. I think of it. Although Wang Ping'an has made achievements in field wars, it is very small. How can he be promoted? The prince repeatedly begged, but I can't resist and make an exception. Wang Ping'an was promoted to the title of Duke of Zheliu County, and was hereditary of 2,500 acres of Yongye Land, and the title of Grand Governor of Gaza State..."

Wang Ping'an was confused. Although Mi Xiaomiao had already told him in advance that he had been named Duke, when he heard it, he still felt like he was still in a dream. He finally entered the first level of the Tang Dynasty court. How could he have thought of it before? He was just the son of a little landlord in Xuzhou, and he could even be ranked as Duke!

When he was excited, he didn't hear the words afterwards. When he came to his senses, he only listened to Mi Xiaomiao dragging his long voice and said, "I'm here. Everyone, I haven't received the order to thank you, so when will I wait?"

Everyone shouted long live. Fang Xuanling took the imperial edict, stood up, and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, this young master, how do you call me?"

He called Mi Xiaomiao a father-in-law and added a small letter. Mi Xiaomiao didn't dare to lose face with him, and had to smile and said, "Little Man Mi Xiaomiao, you have met Master Fang before, you don't remember!"

Fang Xuanling thought to himself: "What are you? Why do I remember you?" He nodded and smiled: "It turns out to be Eunuch Mi, no wonder it looks so familiar. Come here, get two thank-you gifts and put your bags on Eunuch Mi."

The entourage agreed and hurriedly ran back to withdraw the money. The officials present looked at Wang Ping'an together and thought to himself: "Wang Ping'an has always been generous. Lord Fang has rewarded two stakes. I wonder how much he will reward?"

But Wang Ping'an did not express anything, but just pulled Mi Xiaomiao and invited him into the hall. Mi Xiaomiao had no expression of unhappiness at all, and kept making friends with Wang Ping'an, with a slight eunuchs who loved money the most, and did not act angry if they didn't give it to them.

Seeing that they had all entered the hall, Fang Xuanling opened the imperial edict and looked at it, thinking: "Wang Ping'an's duties have been slapped. This is to be recalled to the capital for idleness. This kind of young talent who wants to be literary and martial, and does not need it now. I will keep it for the future... The emperor's dragon body is probably not very good!"

Shaking his head and sighed, Fang Xuanling put away the imperial edict and entered the hall.

After the imperial edict was passed, the rest were naturally a banquet, eating, drinking and having fun, self-praise and mutual praise. Even Tang Xuanzang was invited to the table. At least he was still in the name of an envoy, so he could naturally be on the table!

Eat and blow, and allusions fly around until the moon rises on the branches, and then they are all over and over.

Wang Ping'an and Mi Xiaomiao went to the backyard. Wang Ping'an personally arranged a residence for him, intending to talk to him about "talk and talk".

After the servant brought the hot water towel, he stepped back. While wiping his face with the towel, Mi Xiaomiao said, "Prince, you will set off for Beijing in three days. After returning to Beijing, you will have to think about it behind closed doors. Don't you feel uncomfortable, right?"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "What's so uncomfortable? I have a salary to support and don't have to do anything. How many people are envious of it? How can I feel uncomfortable?"

Mi Xiaomiao laughed and said, "You are not uncomfortable, but the prince is uncomfortable. I always feel that I owe you something. The prince has this kind of heart. Prince, you will be successful in the future. Hey, I said it wrong, you have already achieved success now!"

Wang Ping'an also laughed a few times, but said, "Who is the prince getting closer to recently? I mean the people in the palace."

Mi Xiaomiao blinked her eyes, her eyes turned, and said, "I haven't gotten close to anyone, Your Highness has always been respectful, who can I get close to!"
