997 Resigned

The truth of things is often beyond people's expectations, how future generations talk about it, how to catch the wind and catch the shadows, after all, it is difficult to know what the original truth is, as long as many things are over, it is impossible to know the original situation, such as the axe and candle shadow, who knows what happened between Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi? No matter how to catch the wind and shadows, can you give a convincing answer for everyone?

"Do you have no other way to go than to resign? Although this matter came from your family, but you didn't know it, since Li Yingmeng has left, and the rest of the party has been wiped out, I won't pursue it, as long as this matter is kept secret, why do you need to resign and leave? It's a big deal to say that the remnants of the Tibetan Turks are not dead, and all the people need an explanation, not that you resign and leave here! Li Chengqian was very unhappy with Suning's disheartened appearance, thinking that this was not the Suning he knew at all, so he reprimanded Suning: "A woman makes you depressed so much? Are you still the Su Sanming I know?! ”

"No one else knows about it, and if it is not made public, who can know? The courtiers can't say it, and the folk rumors have no basis, how can they be confirmed? You don't have to worry, this matter is not a big deal, until the matter calms down a little, Erlang and I will return to the Sanyuan County Palace, and no one will discuss it anymore, now the court has a lot of affairs, a thousand things, if you leave you, Cheng Qian is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with so many things. The eldest grandson tried his best to persuade.

Li Chengqian then persuaded: "Persia has just been attacked, and Duhe is about to go to war with the Romans again, and there are many affairs, how can he pass through Persia?" How to navigate Arabia? With different races and language barriers, how can I incorporate it into the territory that my Tang Dynasty can really govern? What I need is not a generalized national policy. It's a specific strategy, Sanming, only you can give me a strategy! I won't allow you to resign! ”

Suning was silent, looked at Li Chengqian silently, and said, "My heart is in turmoil, even if I stay." I can't do my best to give advice, instead of letting me stay here like a walking corpse, it is better to let me leave here and travel the world, and it can also play a role in deterring you from all directions, Cheng Qian, this is the last place I can help you, as for Persian Arabia and Rome, the court and the central junjie will naturally assist you. There's no need for me to stay. ”

Li Chengqian said angrily: "How to deal with the vertical and horizontal departments? Except for you, who will be able to master the vertical and horizontal parts without traveling cuΓ²! Aside from you, how can I trust someone else to hand over the vertical and horizontal divisions? How old are you? How old am I! We have tomorrow! And the future! You haven't been a prime minister yet, you still have a long way to go, you don't want it anymore, you don't want it in the future! Do you remember what you said to me? ”

Suning said: "Now Zhang Wuregret, the director of the Jiangnan Branch of the Vertical and Horizontal Department and the history of the Hanzhou Thorn, can be qualified for this position, this person has been valued by me since more than ten years ago in Tubo, and he has been proficient in large and small things in the vertical and horizontal department. After experiencing the Jiangnan and Lingnan Rebellion, it has grown rapidly. It can be entrusted with important tasks, but it has never been famous, and if it is necessary to grant him the position of secretary of the vertical and horizontal department, it will take some time, first to be summoned to the Beijing division on the grounds of his outstanding political achievements, and then he will be promoted to the right attendant of the vertical and horizontal department. After staying for a period of time, he is allowed to serve as the secretary of the vertical and horizontal department, and his person can be qualified and trusted. ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and was furious: "Why are you disappointing me so much!" ”

Only Li Ermaxi didn't say a word. Looking at Suning's disgraced face, he sighed deeply: "Li Yingmeng, I really didn't know that Jiancheng still had such an illegitimate daughter, if I knew, get rid of it as soon as possible, and there would be no disaster today...... Cheng Qian, don't blame Sanming, it's all my fault, I did the wrong thing at the beginning, and the disaster has been left behind to this day, not only to hurt your mother, but also to Sanming to the point where it is now, it's all me, it's all me! ”

Li Chengqian's face was extremely ugly, and in the end he sighed deeply, sat on the chair, and sighed: "Father, what's the use of talking about this now, whether it's right or wrong, it's no longer important now, the important thing is that Sanming can't go, the Battle of Persia has just ended, there is no official in the court who is better at dealing with foreign affairs and business than Sanming, and I can't let Sanming resign in public or private." ”

Suning shook his head: "The officials of the vertical and horizontal departments have been trained by me, and they can deal with these things very well, Cheng Qian, you are the emperor, and you should be in charge of these things, not me." ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "None of this is important!" I just won't allow you to be so depressed! After all these years, no matter what happens, you haven't been like this! The Turks have survived, Lingzhou, Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Western Regions, Liaodong, Waguo! We have all survived, no matter how difficult the situation is, you Su Sanming have never been so depressed as today! You're only thirty-one years old! Not ninety-one! I won't allow you to give up on yourself like that! ”

Suning still didn't make any improvement, the eldest grandson saw that Li Chengqian was so angry, and Li Erma didn't plan to interject with a guilty face, so he had to stand up and play a round: "Chengqian, you calm down first, now is not the time to say this, Sanming, you said you were leaving, so what are you going to do with Su?" What to do about the future? What do you do with your children, your family? ”

Suning said: "It's been decided, I, Rui Han and the rest of the concubines and young children left Chang'an City and traveled around, my mother is too old to travel for a long time, stay in the fiefdom of Sanyuan County, and hand over the affairs of the Su Mansion to my brother to take care of, and the older children will stay and go to school, and hand them over to my brother and Shizun to take care of them, and the rest will remain unchanged, that's all." ”

Li Ermajesty closed his eyes and sighed slightly, Li Chengqian didn't say a word, he was silent, the eldest grandson looked at Suning silently, and suddenly said: "Are you planning to go to the Tang Dynasty to find traces of Yingmeng?" ”

The eldest grandson who said this sentence was a breakthrough.

There are only four people here, Suning also told them the truth, the eldest grandson is a woman, and he knows the inside story best, Suning can't bear to kill Li Yingmeng, let him escape, Li Erma XiΓ  feels guilty, and he is also old and abdicated, all of them are passing by the clouds, all kinds of past surfaces in front of him, endless remorse and loss, in the face of Li Yingmeng's matter, in addition to shock is guilt, he can no longer raise a trace of killing intent, Li Chengqian faced the silence and complicated feelings of Suning and Li Erma, and decided not to pursue Li Yingmeng's personal responsibility.

Li Chengqian only ordered the extermination of Li Yingmeng's remaining party. Li Yingmeng, who was nowhere to be found, no longer cared, he knew that since Li Yingmeng was gone, since Suning let her go, there would be no more accidents, and this matter was related to the personal reputation of Li Erma and Suning. Once it is known to the public, I don't know what kind of chaos will be made, especially now that the civil official group that controls the daily notes and the compilation of historical books is extremely tough, if they find out, who knows how it will be written in the history books?

After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, he personally ordered that no one should be killed for his words, and that he would never be punished for his words, and that it would be an iron law.

Li Erma's XiΓ  can't touch the history books, let alone Li Chengqian. The living man who followed him was very young, but his personality was quite upright, Li Chengqian knew that it was impossible to know what was written in the living note from his hands, unless he was removed from his post, but this is very important, and the other positions are easy to say, only the two positions of the living room and the servant are particularly sensitive, and the rank is very low. However, if Li Chengqian wanted to move, he would certainly arouse doubts and inquiries from the Manchu ministers. And these two positions are almost impossible to change without the approval of the Manchu ministers.

Among them, Wei Zheng's hard bone is the most difficult to gnaw, Wei Zheng, who should have died in another time and space, is still alive at this time, Li Erqi still can't suppress him, let alone Li Chengqian, the main problem maker and opponent in many decisions are Wei Zheng, no matter whose decision it is. Even Suning's has to pull Suning's Jianyì onto the operating table for dissection, picking bones from eggs little by little, and almost equipping it with a light microscope, Li Chengqian is always made by him to lose his temper. You can only give in, which is probably the difference in this plane.

After that, the Tang volume of the "Zizhi Tongjian" compiled by Suning - the two volumes of Wude Zhenguan were also announced, and it is said that the officials who planned to compile the history books and personal memoirs of the dynasty were like treasures, Li Chengqian did nothing, and the Emperor Li Erqi was silent, acquiescing to the publication of these two volumes of articles that disclosed a considerable part of the inside information, and then after the announcement, the world did not seem to be as shaken as imagined, except for a few old Confucians clamoring to kill Suning.

Maybe it's really as Suning said before the announcement, the thing happened under everyone's noses, the movement was very big, and everyone knew it in their hearts, but they didn't say it, thinking of the benefits of Li Erma, even if they said it? If it is Yang Guang, not to mention that there is still a rebellion; Therefore, the literati do not seem to have much idea of avoiding Li Erma, Emperor Li Chengqian can't say anything against it, he personally set his year name as Chenghe, which means that he doesn't care about avoiding things, if he intervenes at this time, it is tantamount to slapping himself in the face, changing the order day and night, and going back on his word, which is definitely not the way of the king.

"I have been married to her for more than ten years, and the person next to my pillow for more than ten years, I can't persuade myself to forget about this person's existence in any way, and believe that she has done such a thing next to my pillow, I don't know who is more important in her heart so far I or Li Jiancheng, but I also want to ask her personally, I didn't ask before, but if I can see her again, I must ask, otherwise I won't be at ease for the rest of my life, and I can't blind myself to death, Cheng Qian, maybe you can't understand, But that's how I feel right now, I feel like I've done what I should have done, I've done what I shouldn't have done, and now it's time to leave, even if I don't have it. Suning said.

Li Chengqian was silent, the eldest grandson was silent, and the uncomfortable silence lasted for a while, and then, it was Li Ermaxi who broke the silence, his body trembled slightly, and only stopped for a while, as if he had made some important determination, and said: "Suning, I give you one last order, if you can see her again and apologize to her for me, just say, I can't live with their father and daughter." ”

Li Chengqian's eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible, but the eldest grandson showed a relieved smile, as if he had a premonition, Suning was stunned at first, and then showed a relieved smile: "Minister Suning obeys the orders of the emperor!" ”

On the seventeenth day of the first month of the third year of Chenghe, the three original marquis of the country, the Shangzhu country, and the vertical and horizontal department of Shangshu Suning resigned for the fifth time, the ministers were silent, and the emperor Li Chengqian was helpless, so he agreed, and then, in addition to rewarding Suning with the wealth that could not be spent in several lifetimes and the rank of a civil official, he also made the decision to promote Suning to the first-class Qin Guogong, and the title "Qin" was the same as the title "Qin" before the emperor Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to show the royal favor, and the title of Marquis of Sanyuan was inherited by Su Qingren, the eldest son of Suning, Su Fuyi's treatment was promoted to one level, and the other three sons of Suning were blessed and received official positions.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengqian didn't know what kind of psychology he had, and did something that shocked and puzzled the whole world...... (To be continued......)
