At the age of twenty-three, he was named the county duke. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Not only for Li Su, but also for the whole world is a very shocking news, Li Su is still a little confused, blinking vigorously, as if to confirm whether he is dreaming.

The title of the Tang Dynasty is not a cabbage, especially in recent years, after the world has been determined, Li Shimin has intentionally and unintentionally reduced the title, and the hero is often demoted to one level, if the descendants do not make outstanding achievements, then the title will be passed down from generation to generation, and the generation will be lower than the next, until it is finally completely removed.

In such an environment, Li Shimin's unprecedented new sealing of a county public office was unexpected.

Jin Jue is naturally a good thing, the glory of the ancestors, the descendants of Yin'en, if Li Su does not have a trace of excitement, it is inevitably a little hypocritical, to be honest, I am still very happy in my heart, people's nature is to climb up, who doesn't want to live a better life and have a higher status?

But the joy soon passed, and Li Su thought of the troubles in the future.

The county prince in his twenties, the precedent of the Kaili Dynasty, no matter how shameless he feels that he is indeed the first pillar of the ancient history, but he was crowned the county prince at such a young age, it is still a little too much, Li Su originally thought that he would have to wait until he was in his thirties to be crowned a prince.

If the news of the closure of the county is spread, so many ministers in the court, Cheng Biting Jin and Li Ji and these generals will naturally have no opinion, but they can't keep others secretly jealous in their hearts, slander behind their backs, and even provoke some right and wrong, after all, not everyone in the court of Tang Zhenguan is a good person.

"Your Majesty, uh, the virtue of the minister is not high, and he is not respected, so he is given the title of county prince at such an age, isn't it...... Uh, what, the minister doesn't even have an heir. Li Su cautiously probed.

Li Shimin sneered: "You also know that you are not virtuous or respectful? I have given you a knighthood because you are meritorious, does it have anything to do with whether you have an heir or not? This is what you deserve, rest assured to receive it. ”

Li Su looked at Li Shimin's drunken face, and said cautiously again: "Your Majesty, are you ...... Half in the bag? Think about it, if you wake up and find that you regret it, and then issue an order to take back the title, the minister's face will fall to the ground and you can't pick it up......"

Li Shimin glared: "Presumptuous!" I have a golden mouth, and my words are like a tripod, how can I take it back? Who am I? ”

"The minister lost his words, and His Majesty forgives the sin."

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "I have forgiven you enough for your sins over the years, if I really care about you in everything, my Yang Shou will be ten years shorter......"

Li Su was startled, and his forehead suddenly sweated, and this sentence ...... It seems to mean something else, but no matter how much I think about it, I still can't figure out the true meaning of the words.

"No, not to...... Your Majesty will live to be 10,000 years old. Li Su grinned dryly.

"The matter of the knighthood is so decided......" Li Shimin glanced at him lightly, took a sip of wine from the cup, and said: "You have made so many contributions to the Tang Dynasty over the years, I have been pressing your promotion reward because you are too young and unstable, and now it is almost enough, the matter of Zhenla rice seed, you have indeed made a great contribution, the Datang Sheji has been consolidated because of the rice seed, and it is reasonable to seal you a county duke, presumably the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will not say anything." ”

Li Su's expression showed hesitation, Li Shimin's sharp eyes found it, and he couldn't help but snort, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, am I the kind of emperor who gags people's mouths?" ”

Li Su thought for a while, suddenly got up and saluted him, and said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and the minister has a reluctant request......

"Say."

"The minister is willing to exchange the title for the identity of the deceased mother."

Li Shimin frowned: "Oh? Why did Zi Zheng say this? ”

Li Su pursed his lips and said: "The minister has a big crime, when his mother died, the minister's father did not know the court etiquette system, and set up a pair of stone horses in front of the grave of the deceased mother......

Li Shimin nodded: "It is true that the stone horse is set up as a commoner, but this has nothing to do with you, you were just a naïve child back then, and I am not guilty." In fact, since you know that you have exceeded the system, why don't you secretly remove the pair of stone horses? It's not a big deal, and after the withdrawal, I just opened my eyes and closed my eyes and it passed. ”

Li Su said solemnly: "Since my father set up a stone horse, the minister does not plan to remove, the minister is willing to use his own merits and titles to exchange for the deceased mother's identity as a dignified stone horse, in order to comfort the soul of the deceased mother in the sky, the minister has a filial piety, and I also ask Your Majesty to fulfill it." ”

Li Shimin sneered: "What do you think of the title I gave you?" Can I exchange the goods for exchange? Your deceased mother's overtime is overdue, your knighthood is knighthood, the two things have nothing to do with each other, take the title for the deceased mother's identity, you can think of such a ridiculous idea! ”

Li Su hurriedly handed over his hand: "The minister has heard that 'the Holy Son of Heaven rules the world with filial piety', if Your Majesty becomes a jade and adds a good story after the ages, why doesn't Your Majesty allow it?" ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Take the words in "The Book of Filial Piety" to block me, right? If I don't agree, will I become a faint monarch who obstructs the filial piety of my courtiers in the future? ”

"The minister doesn't dare to have this thought, just for the son of man, Tengda and don't know the shade, is it for unfilial piety, what face does the minister have to enjoy the glory?"

Li Shimin glanced at him deeply, was silent for a moment, and said: "That's it, I will fulfill your filial piety, posthumously seal the Li family as the lady of Qin, according to the Tang Dynasty etiquette system, only the mother or wife of a civil and military courtier can be crowned the lady of the country, and your title of county duke is only from the second grade, it is not enough, today I have made an exception for you, and, since you have been crowned the county duke, your wife's decree has also been promoted to the second grade, as for your father's ......"

Li Su hurriedly said: "The minister is the father of the family and his wife Xie Majesty Longen, but the father of the family is indifferent and does not like the official Lu, please don't think about it, the father is in good health, and it is enough to have a minister in front of his knees to support Tiannian." ”

Originally, Li Su was reluctant to be promoted, but now Li Shimin's meaning seems to be that even Li Daozheng is sealed by the way, at that time, a double lord will inevitably make a big splash, causing greater criticism to the Li family, and with Li Daozheng's temperament, it is certain that he will not want to accept any official title, Li Su simply resigned on his behalf.

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

The matter of Jin Jue was decided in this way, and Li Su's mood was much better.

The good mood is not because he was promoted, but he finally did something for his deceased mother, the mother who never met, but gave him life, Li Su did these posthumous things for her, and he can only talk about the regret of not being able to fulfill his filial piety.

When the conversation was almost over, Li Su saw Li Shimin pick up another cup and drink himself, so he got up and said goodbye.

Li Shimin was really in a bad mood today, and he just waved his hand when he heard this, which was a response.

Li Su silently withdrew from the main hall, and when he retreated to the gate of the hall, seeing Li Shimin's lonely and gloomy appearance, Li Su's heart moved, and he couldn't help but feel a little pitiful.

That's right, the emperor who holds the sun and moon in his hands and rules the world is just a poor person in Li Su's eyes, and in his life, only power is completely his own.

He worked hard to become an emperor, everything he gained and lost, did he ever measure it or not?

Perhaps, there are only pros and cons left in his heart now, and he no longer needs to think about the question of whether it is worth it, and that heart has long been numb after being tempered by blood and betrayal.

Now, he is sitting alone in the empty and cold hall, silently drinking to himself, what is the feeling in his heart? The monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, how many people could sit with him without guilt and drink and sing?

Heaven and earth are alone, and they are so lonely.

Li Su's feet that were about to step out of the temple gate were retracted for some reason.

He still doesn't like Li Shimin very much, because the emperor is always high, and Li Su hates the feeling of looking up to others.

However, he didn't mind having a few drinks with a lonely old man.

Stopped, gathered his legs, turned around, and Li Su looked at Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... I'd like to have a few drinks with you. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, suddenly raised his head and stared at him, for a long time, and smiled.

"Come on, give me a seat opposite me, and serve good wine and food!"

This is Li Shimin's answer, this moment, Li Shimin is like a lonely mountain guest alone in the mountains, and finally waited for a passing guest.

Sitting down again, the treatment was very different, the low table in front of Li Su had been placed opposite Li Shimin, and the two monarchs and ministers were only a stone's throw apart, looking at each other and smiling.

Li Suxian picked up the wine cup and raised his eyebrows in respect.

"The minister is the longevity of His Majesty, and the longevity of the Tang Dynasty, and he wins."

This time, Li Su did not cheat and play tricks, the wine cup was drunk, the liquor entered his throat, and his stomach seemed to be on fire, revealing a bit of hot comfort in the discomfort.

Li Shimin laughed, and then drank it all.

"This wine, only at this moment to drink a little taste, wonderful!" Li Shimin blurted out with a smile.

Li Su smiled: "It's the first time that the minister feels that the home-brewed wine is so delicious. ”

Li Shimin put down the wine cup, sighed, and said with a sad expression: "I didn't expect that the person who could accompany me to drink was not my children, but you." ”

Li Su also put down the wine cup and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty looks depressed, do you have any worries?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head: "My Tang Dynasty, Jingping in the four seas, and Wanbang Chaohe, even if there are slight flaws, it is not enough to worry, why worry?" ”

If it were someone else, Li Su would definitely have nothing to say, so being so sad today is actually worrying about the new words? Translated into the vernacular, it is hypocrisy, doing.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this to Li Shimin when he killed Li Su, so he had to change his dry previous life panacea to comfort.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing is to be happy......

Li Shimin didn't eat this, and said coldly when he heard the words: "If you have nothing to say, shut up for me, drink your wine well, don't talk this nonsense." ”

Li Su smiled dryly.

Li Shimin sighed and said in a low voice: "It's been eighteen years since Zhenguan, and it has been eighteen years since I ascended the throne, and all my life's work has been poured into this community, and I have paid too much for the Tang Dynasty......"

Li Su was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty's contribution is valuable, at least the Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger under Your Majesty's rule, the people are getting richer and richer, the country is becoming more and more stable, Your Majesty has done many things that your predecessors can't do, with these, Your Majesty can be proud of the emperors of the past and present." ”

Li Shimin smiled: "You know how to comfort people, yes, the most focused thing I have done in my life is to govern this country, and now I am happy to see that the country is strong, and I am enough to wish." ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Therefore, even if Your Majesty drinks alcohol today, this wine should not be stuffy wine, but a celebration wine, in order to reward yourself for many years of hard work has not been in vain, in order to thank yourself for creating such a prosperous world, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, Your Majesty should be able to float a lot." ”

Li Shimin laughed: "Emperors throughout the ages, who can be better than me?" I can do it, yes, when the big white is floating! ”

After speaking, Li Shimin took the cup and drank it all.
