598 Reward according to merit

The prince was forced to take the throne unwillingly.

After sitting on the throne, facing a large number of things every day and piles of memorials, how could he have the time to grieve for the Crown Princess? Even when he returned to the bedroom in the dead of night, he fell asleep quickly.

A few days later, the emperor rewarded those who had contributed to the palace coup.

Master and disciple Sun Sicheng and Wan Ping'an made great contributions in rescuing the Emperor and the Empress. Afterwards, they actively organized a rescue doctor team to go to the military camp to rescue the dying and the wounded. They made great contributions. The Earl of Jing'an became the Marquis of Jing'an, and the Earl of Ping'an became the Marquis of Ping'an.

The earl suddenly became a marquis, and this sudden joy made the old men in the Sun family almost faint with joy.

Mei Niang and Wan Changsheng also felt as if they were in a cloud of confusion, unable to recover for a long time.

Ping An and his master received a lot of rewards, including the hot spring villa he had always dreamed of, which was no worse than what his master had gotten from others.

His official position in the Hanlin Academy was also promoted from the sixth rank of compiler to the fifth rank of bachelor.

At the same time, he was appointed as the prince's teacher, responsible for teaching the prince, and the time was set to start in April.

The 100th day after his mother’s death is a period of heavy mourning for a son. During this period he basically stays at home and recites sutras for his mother. The following three years of mourning are the same as those of ordinary people.

General Huang continued to command the camp outside the capital and was awarded the title of Marquis of Anding, which was inherited for three generations.

General Hao was appointed commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, awarded the title of Earl Ding'an, and given several rewards. The former commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard went to Minzhou to take over the military camp.

Duke Jingguo was neither rewarded nor punished. He was meritorious in suppressing the rebellion, but he was derelict in his duty by not taking good care of his family.

In fact, their two families had already separated, so how could the elder brother manage his younger brother's family? He had already separated from his nephew because of his lawless behavior.

But this is what it means to be implicated. The Duke's Mansion can be kept safe and sound. Duke Jingguo has already smiled to the heavens. How can it be injustice and no credit?

Wang Wei was originally the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Because the Dali Temple Minister was old and sick, he temporarily handled the affairs of the Dali Temple Minister. This time he officially took over the position of Dali Temple Minister, and was promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank, a promotion of three levels.

Zhang Jinping took over Wang Wei's position as Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and was also promoted three levels.

…

Ping An didn't feel much about the change from Earl to Marquis. He hadn't even moved into the Earl's mansion before it became the Marquis's mansion.

As for the fact that the third generation of the earl became the hereditary marquis, he did not feel any great joy. It would be fine if his descendants were ambitious, but if they were not, they would not be able to keep the title no matter how good they were. Besides, he had already been taken away by the Taoist priest by that time and no longer cared about worldly affairs.

On the contrary, he actively bought away many high-quality properties that his godfather had left for him, and even took over many good servants. After all, if there is property, someone has to do the work.

The prices of these farms, shops and fertile lands were much lower than the purchase prices in the pawnshop. Ping'an had not even spent all the dividends he received before the New Year, let alone the unexpected fortune of 50,000 taels.

He began to understand his master's indifference to money. He earned far more than he spent, and the surplus was there year after year. It was really just a number.

Of course, this is just his understanding. He only has more than 20,000 taels of cash left, which is not much. All his income over the years has become assets.

The 50,000 taels of silver that I got unexpectedly have not been touched at all. This money will probably be used to buy real estate eventually. Only when money makes money can you do what you want to do continuously.

Sun Sicheng didn't mind the title becoming hereditary, but the old man liked it very much, so that was fine.

If you ask him what is most annoying now, it is the syphilis patients pouring in from all directions.

Fortunately, Ping An gave him an idea. Only the patient's family members could come to register, receive precautions, and sign the medication agreement. There was no extra payment or debt, and the price of the medicine was not cheap.

The effect of such treatment is definitely not as good as the two-pronged approach to treating Bai Jiaming, but it is beneficial to themselves. The patients do not have to come in person, so it will not affect the clinic's business. They do not even have to meet the patients, they only need to provide medicines, and the patients' families can come to discuss the medication situation from time to time.

They had no intention of sympathizing with such patients. To some extent, being able to go to such places to play was really not a good thing.

If they even show sympathy to such people, there will probably be more patients like this coming in, which will not only cause Baicaotang's business to plummet, but their own people may also be at risk of being infected.

Sun Sicheng looked at his pocket watch and said, "Ruyi, Ping An hasn't come yet? Is he not in the front hall?"

Ruyi shook her head: "No, Master Ping'an didn't come today, but didn't you promise Zhu Yuanzheng yesterday that you would go to the Imperial Hospital this afternoon?"

Sun Sicheng slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory. I almost forgot. Bring the medical kit and call Da Zhuang. Let's go now."

The Queen Mother recovered slowly and seemed to have psychological problems. She was very depressed, often felt sad involuntarily, and even had some anorexia.

This is a bit bad. Ping An said that this is depression. When it is serious, one will do things that hurt oneself. It is very likely related to the death of the Crown Princess. I heard that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is still very good.

Yuan Zhu was very worried about this, so he found him and hoped to study the treatment together. He had to go since he was called, otherwise he didn't want to go to the Imperial Hospital again.

Ping An got off work at noon and went to the Hao family.

The two elderly people in the Hao family had a coma, and their son and grandson were both injured. They were so shocked that they were bedridden. After a few days of treatment, they recovered, but they were weak and had no energy.

Ping An has been helping the two elderly people with their health issues during this period.

"Grandpa Hao, Grandma Hao, you are almost well. Come back and stay at my farm for a while. The plum blossoms have already bloomed a little. Next month, both peach and plum blossoms will bloom. Please help me pick more peach blossoms and I will make peach blossom wine for you. Plum blossom wine is also fine."

The old lady smiled from ear to ear: "Your grandfather Hao has wanted to go to the farm for a long time. Isn't he waiting for your son to be born? After the three-day wine, we will go to the farm immediately. The farm is much more comfortable than the city."

The old man said, "I still like to drink Bei Feng Lie, that's more powerful. Peach Blossom Wine tastes good, but not as good as this."

The old lady glared at him and said, "Ping An, listen carefully. Don't give this old man peach blossom wine later. Bei Fenglie can't drink it now. If he drinks a few more sips, his throat will be sore. He is old and he can't refuse to admit defeat."

Ping'an watched the old lady and the old man bickering with a smile in his eyes. The Hao family members all have good personalities, they are both heroic and warm.

Speaking of children, Awu's due date is in the next two days, and his heart suddenly started beating fast.

"Grandma Hao, it's all your fault for talking about the child. Tomorrow is the due date. My heart is beating like a drum. I'm going back. I'm not going anywhere today. I'm staying at home to take care of my wife."

Ping'an asked Qingshi to pack up the medical box and leave.

The old lady laughed: "Your whole family are doctors, why are you in such a hurry? Hehehe, you are such a child."

Mrs. Hao came over and said, "Mom, what are you laughing at? Did you go safely?"

"He left. I told him to go to the farm after his son's third-day bath. Then he remembered that tomorrow was Awu's due date. He said his heart started beating fast. What's there to be beating about? The whole family is doctors. Awu is pregnant and she looks fine. My daughter-in-law, Lei's daughter-in-law, has had a poor appetite these past two days. Is she pregnant again?"
