Suning was given the hereditary first class of the third marquis.

This is the second day after Suning honestly went home, Li Er Majesty Xià sent the Ministry of Rites as a messenger to Su Mansion to personally give the seal, with the most formal holy decree, the jade seal of the country, as well as a brand new Hou dress and a series of rewards, etc., the brand new Li Er Majesty Xià personally wrote the big plaque of the Sanyuan Hou Mansion was hung at the main entrance of the Su Mansion by a special person beating gongs and drums, and the stone lion at the door was also replaced, more expressive, more powerful and ferocious, of course, in Suning's view, it is still the same ugly, The same is full of Li Erma's bad taste.

Money was rewarded innumerable, silk cloth was rewarded innumerable, the most precious Shu brocade was rewarded with three thousand horses, gold, silver, jade, pearls, agate and other unknown jewelry were rewarded with dozens of boxes, and then the eldest son Su Qingren was given an official position, and the second son Su Qingli was also given an official position, the previous marquis title can only shade one son, but now it is obvious that two sons can be shaded, Suning's mother and Su Dingfang's mother were given a first-grade edict together, Li Ruihan and Qin Ziyue were renamed as a second-grade edict together, as the so-called one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, Even the servants of the Su Province were rewarded with money, meat, and cloth, and they were all overjoyed.

But this is not enough, although Suning's official position has not changed, it is still the left servant of the vertical and horizontal department, but it has changed from the third grade to the third grade, and suddenly jumped a big level, and the rank has been doubled, and the title has also been promoted from the Pillar Country to the Pillar State, the highest rank, Datang now has less than fifty people with this highest rank, Suning is the youngest among them, Du He and Xue Rengui have not yet reached the rank of the Pillar State, and the current medal is still very golden.

Suning is not the first marquis, but he is the first marquis who can have children and grandchildren who can continue to be hereditary, as long as there is no rebellion, as long as there are men. You can rest with the country, which is not a promise that any emperor can make.

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest son can inherit his father's title, but there is a price to inherit the title, that is, every other generation, he must be demoted to a first-class title, and after the Tang Dynasty implemented the fifteen-level title system. Every other generation, three levels will be lowered, and only a few exceptions can be made, such as Qin Qiong's death, Qin Qiong's son Qin Huaidao inherited the title of third-class duke, and only two levels were reduced.

Other people are still the same, which means that although there are more titles and ranks, they are inherited and classified as commoners after five generations, and you don't have powerful descendants, and you will be honest as a commoner after five generations. Don't blame Datang, Datang has done its best.

But Suning's title is different, as long as he doesn't rebel, he is a first-class marquis, his son is a first-class marquis, and his children and grandchildren will be first-class marquis, as long as there is no rebellion, as long as there are men who can inherit the title. The title of Marquis of the First Class Sanyuan will always belong to the Su family, and it will always belong to Suning. The Su family Zhuangzi in Sanyuan County will always be the property of the Su family, and Sanyuan County will always be the fief of the Su family, no one can change it, and neither can future emperors.

Many people have smelled a different smell from this reward.

Three days later, the premonition that many people had was confirmed - His Excellency Li Yuan, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, died on October 13, the 18th year of Zhenguan.

The news that Suning was given the title of hereditary recumbent and retired with the country was instantly robbed of headlines and lost attention.

Nine years of emperor. Eighteen years of the emperor, the last twenty-seven years of His Excellency Li Yuan's life was spent like this, he died quietly alone, and after Suning left, he did not eat. Didn't drink water, didn't even say a word, Li Erma Xià went to see him, Empress Changsun went to see him, the entire royal family went to see him, he didn't see anything, he didn't see anything, three days later, he died in the exclusive palace of the Emperor Taishang, Daming Palace, at the age of seventy-eight.

Compared to another time and space, he lived nine years longer, but Suning preferred to believe that if he had the right to choose, he would not choose to live for nine more years, he would rather die in the ninth year of Zhenguan than live to the eighteenth year of Zhenguan.

However, this cannot be changed.

The emperor decreed, the whole country mourned, the whole city of Chang'an City was white, more solemn than when Qin Qiong returned to Beijing, Li Erma's family and the entire royal family wore linen and filial piety together, and the ministers changed into plain clothes, and the court was boycotted for ten days, and no fire was allowed to make cooked food on the seventh day to show mourning.

The mourning hall of His Excellency Li Yuan is set up in the Hanyuan Palace, a huge palace, the coffin of His Excellency Li Yuan is placed alone, the royal family led by Li Er's majesty Xià cried to the sky, many people fainted on the spot, and even fainted several times, woke up several times, and fainted again.

Suning and Li Ruihan were wearing filial piety clothes, mixed in the crowd of crying and earth-shattering, Li Ruihan was also infected and burst into tears, and Suning just quietly looked at the spiritual position of His Excellency Li Yuan, without saying a word, obviously, Li Ermajesty did not cry or shout, but just knelt quietly under the spiritual seat of His Excellency Li Yuan, quietly looking at his father who had been under house arrest for eighteen years, his psychological activities at this moment, Suning thought, no one should ever understand, and he would not let anyone understand.

His Excellency Li Yuan should be relaxed and relieved before leaving, eighteen years of house arrest, he has already done what he should and shouldn't do, he has no need to save zài at all, not only he thinks so, it is estimated that Li Ermajesty also thinks so, so in order not to let Li Ermajesty Xià put more effort to kill himself, His Excellency Li Yuan killed himself......

Is it really necessary? Suning didn't dare to speculate, and he didn't want to speculate.

After that, as Suning expected, news came from the palace, Li Ermaxi was too sad, after the ten-day boycott of the dynasty, he announced an indefinite recuperation, and announced that Li Chengqian was the prince of the prison country, and before he did not recover his body, he had full authority to deal with state affairs, except that the military power of the government was not handed over to Li Chengqian, Li Ermaxi no longer asked about any government affairs, and all things were handled by Li Chengqian, assisted by Suning, and the names of the governors of the three provinces were countersigned and sent to the seven ministries to handle. I didn't pass through the route of Li Er's Majesty at all.

A qiē seems so natural, so natural, no one thinks this is incorrect, but Su Ning knows that this should be the one he said before that strengthened Li Erma's belief, although he blackened his face and let himself go, but what he said was exactly what he thought in his heart, and he couldn't let go. is the throne, and even he will worry that he will follow in the footsteps of His Excellency Li Yuan, this time he completely delegated power, not only because he was tired, but also because it was a test, otherwise. He would not fail to hold the Tiger Talisman in his hand and did not hand it over to Li Chengqian.

The 16 Guards Army is still under his control, all the government soldiers are under his control, and the command of the standing army has been transferred to Li Chengqian, but the elite of the standing army is far away in the frontiers and fighting hard, and some veterans are also serving as town defenders in various places, except for the prince Liu who is directly under Li Chengqian, there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and only less than 50,000 standing new troops are still training and have no combat effectiveness. And the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves of the 16 guards directly under the control of Li Er's majesty is eyeing it.

Li Er Majesty left a hand for himself, maybe this is fear, maybe this is worry, maybe it can also be said to be the last test, Li Chengqian is facing the final test, if he makes a slight move, the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves will instantly clean him up, and the soldiers and horses he controls are not the opponent of the elite division in charge of Li Er Majesty at all. Unless the Western Army of the Anxi Protectorate and the Liaodong Army of Liaodong Province come back, at that time. Only then did Li Chengqian have the strength to confront Li Erma.

However, not to mention the eastward transfer of the most elite army to the west, let alone the westward transfer of the Liaodong Army, as long as Li Chengqian uses the standing army tiger talisman, it is estimated that in the next second, he will be captured by Li Erma's people who don't know where to plant, and then abolished. It is also questionable whether the soldiers and generals of the standing army will obey Li Chengqian's rebellious orders.

The emperor at this time was not only sensitive, but also overly sensitive, and those mentally ill people with persecution paranoia had the same effect, the old emperor at this time. It is the most dangerous existence, the so-called companion is like a companion tiger, there is nothing more terrible than this time, there are some things that should not be done, those who could be pardoned in the past will now be killed, and there will be no mercy.

Li Chengqian's face could not see a smile at all, and there was no smile on the faces of the subordinates of the East Palace and the officials of various ministries, the entire East Palace was brightly lit, and there was an endless stream of officials and subordinates coming and going, piling up a mountain of official documents, one after another of government and military affairs, so that Suning could not see when he could rest, could he deal with it, and could he be truly relieved.

The East Palace is about to be crowded, and the small and broken space is filled with all kinds of quarrels, all kinds of shouts, shouts, and shouts, and you can see two or three or a group of officials from different departments arguing all the time. One after another official documents were handed to him, and then he reviewed them and signed them, and then handed them over to other people who needed to sign, a total of five names, the prince's, his own, and the governors of the three provinces, all of which were indispensable.

The efficiency of handling government affairs is very high, but the emperor can rest because of the large amount of government affairs accumulated by the ten-day strike, but the people of the world still have to fight for life, and no one can stop working, stop eating, stop making money, and stop going to the toilet.

The death of His Excellency Li Yuan does not seem to bring any sadness to the East Palace, people are doing what they should do, just tying a strip of white cloth on their heads, symbolizing the death of a big man, but this big man did not have any impact on the dynasty, his death did not even bring any chaos to the country, it seems that he is just an ordinary old man, not the emperor, and has the name of the emperor.

Perhaps, Datang no longer needs him since eighteen years ago, and he himself knows very well that he is no longer needed in this world.

So how do you deal with yourself? Cry? Laugh? Call? Shout?

Li Chengqian paralyzed himself with endless government affairs, handled government affairs wholeheartedly, ate when there was food delivered to his eyes, and dealt with government affairs when there was no food delivered to his eyes, sometimes he looked up, more often he kept his head down, and didn't care about anything else, anyway, it is his job to deal with government affairs now, in order to ensure that the operation of the Tang Empire will not fall into a state of collapse, he has to do this, if he doesn't do this, who can ensure his safety?

No one can be sure.

Li Chengqian didn't understand what Li Ermaxi was doing this for? In the interval between dealing with government affairs, how could the helplessness in the eyes of him and Suning escape Suning's eyes? He was worried, he was afraid, he was afraid, he felt a deep malice sweeping towards him, he was afraid that anything he did not do well would give Li Er Xià a reason to abolish him......

And the death of His Excellency Li Yuan exacerbated his fears.

He won't do that kind of thing, but if no one guides him, he will be forced to do that kind of thing, maybe if he can't bear the final test, he will definitely face such an end, Li Erma is not only his son, at least in Suning's opinion, Li Ke is also a good candidate, although it is a little difficult for Suning and him to communicate because of Li Su's affairs.

This position, such a status, is really terrifying. (To be continued......)
