Chapter 763: Waves

A right thing, in fact, was done very accidentally, it was a "clever hand", unintentionally, and was promoted to the rank of knight, Li Su's mood is indescribable, glory is a must, of course, there is a little bit of emptiness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Almost the whole village of the old folks gathered outside the gate of the Li family, Xu Mingzhu did not dare to slack off, hurriedly ordered the servants to move the table, met the tea, invited the villagers, and then invited several respected elders in the village to sit down in the front hall of the house, as the housewife to accompany a few old people to talk and greet, respectful words, warm attitude, without half of the arrogance and indifference of the new magnates, attracted the praise of several bosses in the village, but did not dare to be too rude, the front hall did not even dare to drink a sip of tea and respectfully retired.

Countless people have watched Li Su grow up from childhood to adulthood, and in terms of generation, it is either uncle or grandfather and grandfather, however, every villager knows very well that no matter how the Li family and his wife call the villagers the same uncle and grandfather as before, the identity is different, it is different.

He is no longer the bastard boy who caught fish by the river with his bare butt and his friends by the river and dug birds' nests in the trees, but the high-ranking Tang magnates, who have to enter Chang'an City every day to discuss with His Majesty the Emperor about the major matters of social welfare and people's livelihood.

Restrained and introverted, advancing and retreating appropriately, after several elders left a bunch of congratulatory words, they retreated very wisely, and the tea served by the Li family did not even move. According to the old people, the poor and lowly are blessed with a thin life, and after drinking the tea of the powerful family, God can't see it, and it will lose the number of life.

The villagers still gathered in front of the gate of the Li family and refused to disperse, and the village elders came out of the Li family, their faces were filled with joy and honor, and they scolded the villagers when they stepped out of the threshold, and scolded everyone for not understanding the rules and losing etiquette, and then urged everyone to disperse quickly, so as not to cause trouble to the grandfather of the Li family.

The villagers were just about to go back after giggling for a while, when they heard the horses' hooves rumbling in the distance, and a burst of yellow dust rose on the country road, and the horses were near, and everyone found that the leader was a eunuch, holding a roll of yellow silk in his hand, and he shouted at a sharp voice from the gate of Li's house.

"Congratulations, Li Jialang is the prince of the county, and the holy decree has arrived-"

Everyone at the door of Li's house was stunned, and then they all knelt down and bowed their heads, and in the blink of an eye, a large area of black pressure knelt on the ground.

…………

…………

If the most excited and excited people in the Li family are not Li Su and Xu Mingzhu, but Li Daozheng, especially after hearing the eunuch read that Li Su's deceased mother was posthumously named the lady of Qin, Li Daozheng suddenly burst into tears.

After the eunuch left, Li Daozheng went alone to the grave of his deceased wife in the west of the village, brought incense, candles, paper money and two jars of spirits, and walked all afternoon, until it was almost late at night, and he returned home exhausted.

No one said anything until Li Daozheng was alone in front of the grave of his deceased wife, Li Su waited until midnight, and saw that Li Daozheng was drunk when he came home, his eyes were red and swollen, and tears were faintly visible.

In the eyes of Li Daozheng and Li Su's father and son, the lady of Qin Guo posthumously sealed by Li Shimin is much heavier than Li Su, the county prince, if the Li family does have a happy event today, there is only the happy event of posthumously sealing the deceased mother.

After doing this, Li Su didn't feel very happy, and only had a faint regret in his heart.

"The son wants to raise but the parent is not there", perhaps it is the truest portrayal of Li Su's heart at the moment, sometimes Li Su even secretly thinks that if he can come to this world earlier, as early as an infant, will his mother's fate change?

**************************************************************

Jin Jue not only represents the improvement of status, but also a series of treatments, such as giving land and food, such as the mansion is allowed to expand a few zhang, how many feet is allowed to be raised in the mansion, and ...... The imperial court allowed and supported eight concubines.

The so-called "concubine", naturally refers to a woman, although literally with a "concubine" word, but the identity is much higher than the concubine room, usually when the head of the family marries the main room, the sisters who marry with the lady of the main room can be sisters, or they can be clan sisters, the lowest status is the personal maid who accompanies the lady when she is waiting for the word in her mother's house, and after the marriage, she waits for the head of the house as a "concubine".

Of course, if you have to explain it more bluntly, the word "concubine" actually exists entirely because of the mother's family in the main room. It's easy to have three long and two short, in case the wife of the main room dies, the marriage is divorced, and the head of the family doesn't think that he can straighten the little fox spirit outside from now on, and there are "concubines" waiting to take over the position of the main room, anyway, they are all out of the same mother's family, and the concubines who are righted for the main room, and those who seek and take are of course still standing in the position of the mother's family.

The reason why concubines have a higher status than concubines is not only because they can replace the main room, but also because their status is recognized by the national court, and they will be given a monthly salary that matches their status level. In contrast, the status of the concubine is much lower, only a little higher than the maids and servants in the backyard of the inner house.

It can be seen that the ancient people were indeed very good at playing, and they could come up with such a high-sounding name by collecting sister flowers, which was really a daring beast of the art master......

With the etiquette system of the Tang Dynasty, now Li Sugui is the county duke, and he is also qualified to marry eight concubines to enter the door, as long as the names of the concubines are reported to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites will immediately give the concubines the corresponding identities and make a list, and the court will also give the monthly food and rice, and those concubines who enter the door are no longer little vixens, but are protected by the laws of the imperial court...... Little vixen.

The Li family was talking, and sure enough, a flowing water mat was placed under the big locust tree in the center of the village for three days, and the whole village was really lively for three days.

When everyone's excitement passed, the days gradually returned to normal, and the Li family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The plaque at the gate has already been replaced with a new plaque, and the big characters of "Jingyang County Mansion" are shining brightly, revealing a majesty from afar, coupled with the neat military appearance of the more energetic subordinates at the door, the Li family, the emerging gate valve of the Tang Dynasty, finally revealed a trace of heritage.

After the excitement passed, some not-so-good influences gradually surfaced.

The matter of Li Sujue's sealing of the county prince has gradually spread inside and outside Chang'an City, and as Li Su expected, the whole city exploded, and it was the courtiers who were particularly shocked.

Li Su has made meritorious contributions to the Tang Society, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great achievement. People who know the inside story know this very well, but no matter how much merit they make, the court is a place of seniority after all, and many old heroes who have followed Li Shimin Rongma all his life before and after the saddle have not been mixed with a county prince when they are about to die, why did Li Su, a hairless bastard boy with a hairless mouth, become a bastard? On weekdays, he is lazy and lazy, and he is passive and slacking off, and the errand of Shangshu Province can be regarded as burning high incense if he can come two or three times a month, as for the character...... This one has no face to mention, and I am afraid that Li Su will have no face.

When he was in his twenties, how did he become a county magistrate? Is His Majesty's affection for him so deep? Especially in recent years, His Majesty intentionally or unintentionally took back some of the titles that were awarded back then, and many heroes even made a little insignificant mistake, in exchange for Li Shimin's anger that seemed to be true or false, and then the will was to cut the knighthood and degrade it, the title of the Tang Dynasty was reduced and demoted from generation to generation, if Li Shimin's intentions were measured with the worst malice, maybe he was burning incense and bathing in prayer to God in the dead of night every day, asking those old guys who were knighted to kick their legs quickly, and it was best for the whole family to die......

In such an environment, Li Su is the only one who swims against the current, and he is named a county prince in his twenties, which is really unbelievable.

There are scolded, unconvinced, and jealous, of course, it is not excluded that some people quietly cast spells to prick the villain with needles, cursing Li Su to die without illness and ascend to bliss early.

Some people are silently jealous in their hearts, and they scold a few words at home, but some people are really unhappy.

After the news spread, several supervisors of the Imperial History Observatory immediately went to the sparse and asked Li Shimin to retract his fate, there are many reasons for the sparseness, Li Su is too young, his virtue is not enough to convince the public, although he has an inch of merit, he is not qualified to be a prince, and there are even more upright guys who directly advise Li Shimin not to be too favored, and the Li family also has a British duke Li Ji, plus a Li Su, the Li family will become stronger and stronger.

Because Li Ji's prestige in the army is too deep, and Li Suqi, strictly speaking, also started from the military, as an emperor, restricting balance is the right way, but you gave the Li family a county prince...... Dare to ask Your Majesty, do you feel that your recent life is not exciting enough, so you want to find some trouble for yourself and challenge the limits of survival?

In all fairness, the content of several supervisors in the imperial history is not deliberately aimed at Li Su, they are aimed at this matter, and it is also to eliminate hidden dangers for the Tang Dynasty, after all, Li Shimin opened this opening, how to judge merit and knighthood in the future, the standard is a little confusing, how much merit is considered a great merit? How much credit can be crowned a prince? Are the heroes who followed His Majesty to the death and fought the country a big or small achievement?

Li Su's promotion to the rank of the lord was quickly raised to the political level by the courtiers, as Li Su had predicted, it is impossible to know how much benefit he will get after the promotion, but it will definitely cause trouble.

Now, Li Su is really in trouble, and he is attacked by a group, Li Su suddenly feels like a cat, the fish didn't touch it, but provoked a fishy body, it's really ...... Are they all blind? Can't you see cats so cute? How can you bear to hurt it?
