After leaving Ning County, Suning continued to walk south and came to Lingnan, which was called a deserted land in the past, but is now one of the richest areas in the entire Tang Dynasty. Here, he once competed with all the powerful landlords. , there is also the sugar cane plantation he purchased for his family. There is the Su family's villa here. There is no need to waste people's energy to build a residence. However, when the Su family's motorcade slowly drove into Guangzhou City, some sharp-eyed people discovered This is Mr. Su no, Mr. Su's motorcade. They will not forget that it was Suning who came here alone in the ninth and tenth years of Zhenguan. Then, a desolate land became one of the most densely populated and affluent areas in the entire Tang Dynasty, and one of the places with the most foreigners. , is also one of the areas with the most developed shipping industry, and is also one of the places with the strictest rule of law. Several major ports here, led by Guangzhou Port, have thousands of sea-going ships moored here every day, and the most prosperous transactions During the season, there are more than 10,000 sea-going merchant ships staying here at the peak time. People here will not abandon their traditions and will not forget to farm every spring. During the busy spring farming season, few people do business in Lingnan. Once the spring plowing is over, the main labor force in the family will come to the seaside to engage in their second career - seafarers. Come here There are too many seagoing ships, and there are too many foreigners and people from the Tang Dynasty doing business. Naturally, more and more people need to be hired. However, foreign businessmen do not know the customs here, so they often need more local people to help them. Naturally, local businessmen also need local people, foreign businessmen also need local people, and foreign businessmen need local people even more. Therefore, there are obviously not enough local people here, so more and more landless farmers from the north are moving south because of this. It promoted the great development of Jiangnan and even Lingnan. Suning was the first to promote banknotes here. The convenience and official credibility of banknotes have been well verified here. Therefore, the development of banknotes has rapidly promoted the development of business and opened up the constraints. The last shackles of business development, business began to take off. Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan, Jinyang, Xiangyang, Changsha, Jinling, Guangzhou, and countless big cities have set up money warehouses and set up national banknote issuance offices guaranteed by the court's credibility. The existence of banknotes is increasingly recognized by businessmen. Dependence, and in large maritime cities like Guangzhou, banknotes have almost replaced bulky copper coins and become the main currency in circulation. Banknotes are no longer the simple savings certificates they were originally, but have become currencies that can be used for transactions. For this reason, after Suning inspected here for a period of time, he wrote a letter to Li Chengqian specifically, asking him to pay more attention to the use and issuance of banknotes. Issue as many banknotes as there are copper coins. Never treat banknotes as copper coins. Copper coins as paper currency will only cause the country's economic collapse. We must strictly guard the money warehouse and never let a copper coin be embezzled, because at this time, even a penny may be lost in a thousand miles. Anthill. Suning was also well received in Lingnan. People in Lingnan regarded Suning as their benefactor and the god of wealth. This was especially true for Feng An, who had already reached his sixties. He also planned to bring Suning to his luxurious mansion. Inside, Suning waved his hand. There was a princess, a princess, and a daughter of a prince in the family. They were all tigresses, and they could not be offended. Feng An laughed loudly and did not insist anymore, but he still took Suning on the trip. many places. Suning himself also went to many places, including ports for inspections and various county and state capitals. He heard that Li Chengqian had the idea of ??restoring the three-pole system of prefectures, counties, and counties. Suning also agreed with this. The way of the Tang Dynasty is not administrative divisions. The administrative divisions from the imperial court down to the imperial court were prefectures. It was okay four years ago in Zhenguan. However, now, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has expanded three to four times, and the number of prefectures has increased by hundreds. It is difficult to manage directly. It is urgent to restore the three-pole system. . The customs of various places, the current administrative and economic status of various places, as well as the current status of the army in these places, whether the garrison troops are doing their duty, whether the generals are doing their duty, etc. Although the Tang Dynasty also had a rotation system for generals and army garrison, it was not as terrifying as the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty directly It killed the country's military talents, and the Tang Dynasty's policy was only aimed at supporting the military and self-respect. His Majesty Li Er and Li Chengqian would not be as idiotic and cowardly as Emperor Zhao. If the army loses its powerful commander, and military thieves What's the difference? On-site inspection, careful consideration, careful wording, and writing to Li Chengqian to inform him of the real situation in the surrounding areas. He praised some good things and exposed and reprimanded some bad things. In this process, Suning spent a lot of time. Year after year, I went to one place after another, one remote village after another, one historical city after another, climbed mountains, swam across rivers, ate insects, drank mare's milk, and had Li Chengqian's order to patrol the world as a talisman. , Suning can do it no matter where he goes. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There were few places to go and the distances were relatively close. Suning could still go home to celebrate the New Year every year. But after a few years, the places he went to started to be very far away. It was alsoSeeing that, Suning began to march towards the territories newly occupied by the Tang Dynasty, towards the plateau mountains that were regarded as barren lands by the people in China, and went to the hometown of Tubo, the hometown of Tuyuhun, the hometown of the Western Regions, and the hometown of the Western Turks. The homeland of the Eastern Turks, the homeland of Goguryeo, the homeland of the Japanese Kingdom, etc Whether the officials treated the local foreigners rationally, whether the local Han people bullied the foreigners, whether the foreigners maliciously resisted the government's good intentions, whether the land was developed, whether the foreigners recruited soldiers Whether it has started, whether houses have been built, whether war wounds have been restored, whether the economy, culture, and population have been developed in accordance with actual conditions, whether the basic policies of the court have been implemented, whether measures have been adapted to local conditions and seek truth from facts Year after year , year after year, Suning never stopped moving forward. He no longer based himself in the court, but insisted on traveling to places. He could do things that the emperor could not see and the officials in the capital could not see. Seeing that he can praise benevolent officials with political achievements, he will never tolerate the treacherous and evil people. He will not ignore the three elders who fight against the weak officials, nor ignore the local powerful who collude with the government. The place beyond the reach of the emperor's whip is where Mr. Su Ning administers justice. Year after year, year after year, time seems to have not brought any changes to Suning, but it clearly tells Suning that it has passed Du Ruhui is gone. He has a dream. He wants to be full of peaches and plums. The world's famous teacher, he came to school in the suburbs of Luoyang. After he left the court, he became a teacher and elementary school teacher, teaching young children in his hometown of Luoyang to read and practice calligraphy. He became famous all over the world and brought out countless students. student, knowing that his time was running out, he wrote to Suning to ask him to come to Luoyang. Under the warm sunshine of the winter afternoon, Suning listened to Du Ruhui's last class and watched the students Du Ruhui brought out to take the imperial examination. The students delivered good news and the children read loudly. On that winter afternoon in the seventh year of Chenghe, Du Ruhui was lying on the couch with a smile on his face, as if he had fallen asleep. He put his hands on his stomach and held a piece of paper. It was Du He's good news. Du He led Anxi The army annihilated 200,000 elite Roman legionaries in the great battle, achieved a decisive victory, and continued to advance steadily Du Ruhui seemed to be enjoying something. Suning knew that Du Ruhui was enjoying the sound of reading and the warmth that came from a child. Proud Du Ruhui was sixty-eight years old, living twenty-three years longer than in another time and space. His Majesty the Supreme Emperor Li Er and the Emperor Li Chengqian were greatly saddened after hearing the news. They sent the Crown Prince Li Xiang and the second prince Li Jue to wear sackcloth in person and attended the funeral together with His Majesty the Supreme Emperor Li Er and the eldest grandson of the Supreme Empress. The ministers together gave Du Ruhui the posthumous title of Cheng, and he was awarded the title of First-Class Duke of Lai. Li Jing left, he had a dream, he wanted to come back from the time he left, and he was on the way back from visiting his hometown in East Turkestan with Suning. He said that he didn't have much time left in this life. He has no regrets. The person he loves the most is ahead of him, and the grandchildren he cares about the most are getting married and starting a business. With his descendants, he has no regrets. The only thing he misses is the grandson who met Suning for the first time. The grassland was where everything began, and Suning himself missed it very much. Supporting Li Jing, who was already too old to walk, he stood on the grass. Li Jing smiled and said to him, if he hadn't accidentally ordered the scouts not to mess around due to doubts, then the scouts would have taken Suning's life immediately. Will everything still be what it is today? Going to Dingxiang City, Suning saw the traces of the first battle he had fought so unluckily - the traces carved with a dagger. Li Jing also said, if the Turks who defended the city had not understood the art of war, you Can the boy escape unscathed? Li Jing had no regrets. On that beautiful sunset in the spring of Chenghe's tenth year, Li Jing lay in the carriage, looked at Suning with squinted eyes, held Suning's hand tightly, and died with a smile on his face. He was eighty-five years old. He lived seven years longer than in another time and space. He wrote several military books, all of which were used as teaching materials for the military academy. The students he brought out during the ten years he served as a military college priest all became the Tang Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that the backbone of the army is full of peaches and plums. Emperor Li Chengqian left the court for three days and wrote the word "Military God" in his own handwriting. He sent Crown Prince Li Xiang to give it to Li Boyao in person to show his royal favor. He and His Majesty the Supreme Emperor Li Er and the eldest grandson of the Supreme Queen personally attended Li Jing's funeral and cared for him. The coffin wept bitterly, and he posthumously named Li Jing the first-class Duke of Wei, with the posthumous title of Jingwu. His Majesty Li Er also left. He also had a dream. When he was alive, he saw the Tang Dynasty and the people in peace, and Li Chengqian was shrewd and capable. One year after Li Jing and Du Ruhui passed away one after another, and eleven years after Chenghe, His Majesty Li Er left his beloved forever. In the Tang Dynasty, he left peacefully and contentedly. One month before he left, the first railway track in the Tang Dynasty was laid. Li Tai¡¯s chubby body chased the first train in this time and space for a long time. His Majesty Li Er Sitting in the car, he smiled happily; the day before he left, Du He led his army to attackIn Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, the good news came that Wang Xuance had captured the Roman Emperor alive. One day later, His Majesty Li Er lay on his favorite bamboo raft. Suning personally steered the boat for him. He drank the last bowl of fish soup and passed away with a smile. The whole country mourned. The whole city was in mourning. Emperor Li Chengqian cried bitterly. , fainted three times and woke up three times. For this reason, he withdrew from the court for ten days and together with the ministers, he conferred the posthumous title Emperor Wen on His Majesty Li Er. Qin Guogong Suning said that the posthumous title was inappropriate and suggested that the posthumous title should be drafted as Emperor Guangxiao, the Great Sage of Civil and Military Affairs. The temple name was Taizong, which was adopted by Li Chengqian and buried in Zhaoling. The death of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor Li Er brought a huge blow to Emperor Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian was unable to handle government affairs for a time. Crown Prince Li Xiang was appointed as the Prince Supervisor to replace Emperor Li Chengqian in handling state affairs. During his period as Supervisor, Li Xiang handled government affairs properly and received a lot of rewards. The minister praised his style of supervising the country as it was when Li Chengqian was supervising the country in the past, which is worthy of praise. There are also rumors that Li Xiang's success in supervising the country is inseparable from the help of the two sons Suning stayed with him. His Majesty Li Er left with everyone's thoughts. Suning wrote an elegiac couplet for him, and buried his lifelong pride - Wan Min Shu with him in Zhaoling. An hour before his death, His Majesty Li Er told Suning that he was buried with him. There is no need for luxury, and there are definitely no living beings. The only thing that is definitely needed is the book of the people that was submitted by the people when he abdicated In the thirteenth year of Chenghe, Fang Xuanling, a veteran of the three dynasties, passed away, and Li Chengqian mourned him. After three days of absence from court, he was called the "old man of the country". In the fourteenth year of Chenghe, Wei Zheng, a veteran of the three dynasties and a famous remonstrator, passed away. Li Chengqian personally presided over the funeral, held the coffin and cried bitterly, saying that his father always warned him when he was still alive. An admonisher like Wei Zheng is like a mirror, which can tell him what he has gained and what he has lost, and prevent him from making stupid mistakes. With the death of Wei Zheng, he has lost a mirror. In the fifteenth year of Chenghe, Li Zhen, the son of Li Shiji, the chief of staff and the supreme commander of the army, was injured in a military operation on the mainland across the East China Sea and died. He was only forty-four years old and was the first senior general to die among the first-year military university students. It is said that he was also a good friend of Suning Su Gongye. Su Gongye cried bitterly for him. His father Li Shiji was so sad that he resigned from the post of chief of staff. His position was succeeded by Du He, the general who successfully destroyed the Roman Empire. In the 20th year of Chenghe, the 48-year-old Chenghe Emperor Li Chengqian fell ill. After he recovered, his energy was not as good as before. Li Chengqian went to the 28-year-old Crown Prince Li Xiang on the eighth day of May in the 20th year of Chenghe and called him the Supreme Emperor. He helped Li Xiang ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, handed the imperial seal and the emperor's talisman to Li Xiang, and left the palace with a big stride, and came to live in the palace in Sanyuan County where his father, the late emperor Li Er, once lived. The Empress Dowager, the eldest grandson, lives in the palace in Sanyuan County. After Crown Prince Li Xiang came to the throne, he announced a general amnesty for the whole country and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Yonglong. In the 20th year of Chenghe, the fourth emperor of the Tang Dynasty officially proclaimed himself emperor. The books were different. What Li Chengqian received was one hundred thousand people's letters praising the Supreme Emperor Li Chengqian's abdication. Li Chengqian left the core of power of the Tang Dynasty with one hundred thousand people's letters and he was very satisfied. The first thing Yonglong Emperor Li Xiang did after he ascended the throne was to try to summon Suning, a veteran of the three dynasties and first-class Duke of Qin, who was still traveling around the world, to return to the court to assist the new emperor. Suning refused, but he himself returned to Sanyuan with his family. County, gave a congratulatory memorial to Yonglong Emperor Li Xiang, and then went to the palace of Sanyuan County to visit Li Chengqian. After leaving the court, Suning felt that time passed quickly, as if he had just attended the funeral of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor Li Er yesterday, and today Li Chengqian is the Supreme Emperor. The Chenghe Dynasty passed in a flash, and Suning did not know if it would happen again. , the Yonglong Dynasty has passed, and he will also be buried. Suning always has the illusion that yesterday he was a teenage prince, and today he is a fifty-year-old veteran of the three dynasties. The first person to be a minister. Changsun Wuji passed away, Yuchi Gong passed away, and Niu Jinda also passed away. There are not many veterans of Zhenguan left. Those who are alive today are all elders. Suning is naturally the youngest one. With Li Chengqian's abdication, the ministers of Chenghe era They also began to go downhill. Emperor Yonglong Li Xiang was more inclined to appoint young people to serve in practical positions. For example, he promoted Suning's eldest son Su Qingren to the position of Zonghengsi Right Minister, and he is now the youngest senior official in the Yonglong Dynasty. In this regard, Suning raised objections and believed that Su Qingren was not talented enough to bear such a responsibility. However, Li Xiang did not listen to Suning's request and only comforted Suning without doing anything more. Li Chengqian looked at Suning with some worry. He looked a little funny: "Qingren, that kid was trained by me. He has been from the bottom of Zongheng Division to where he is today. Although he is not very old, I can see his shrewdness and ability. Zicheng Father¡¯s business, isn¡¯t it great?¡±Suning sighed and said: "I hope he won't inherit everything from me and just do what he likes to do. The title of Marquis of Sanyuan of the Chuan Kingdom is enough for me, the Su family, to enjoy forever. For the rest, I still have I really didn¡¯t think too much. Qingren can be an official according to my instructions, but I am very worried about the children in the future" Li Chengqian poured a glass of wine for Suning and said with a smile: "As you said to me before After all, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Why do you think so much? I don¡¯t care about what Xiang¡¯er can achieve, so how can you worry about Qingren? But now, you still can¡¯t forget Ying Meng? Sachet, it¡¯s been twenty years, right?¡± Suning was stunned, lowered his head, looked at the sachet that had been tied around his waist, and showed a somewhat nostalgic look: ¡°It¡¯s been seventeen years, and it¡¯s been ten years since she left me. It has been seven years. I don¡¯t know where she has been, how well she is doing now, or even whether she is still alive. I don¡¯t blame her. I have forgiven her a long time ago. Before His Majesty passed away, he held my hand, Let me not blame her and say that this is all her fault. He was not forgiven by Meng'er when he was alive. He hopes that one day Meng'er will forgive him and I can go to his tombstone and tell him the news" Li Chengqian drank He drank a glass of wine and sighed: "Seventeen years, seventeen years. I have been the emperor for twenty years. I don't know how long I will be the emperor. All the elder friends and old acquaintances have left one by one. I didn¡¯t stay. Seeing that we are getting older. Every time we meet, we lose one. No one knows whether we will meet again this time or next time. Sanming, if you can still see Yingmeng, tell her for me, I I can¡¯t help her. Before my father left, he asked me to identify an opportunity to vindicate my uncle. I didn¡¯t dare because I was afraid of something happening. I didn¡¯t know if Xiang¡¯er would do this, but I couldn¡¯t help her.¡± Suning smiled, picked up the glass and drank it down, sighing: "Cheng Qian, it has been thirty-six years since we met. Thirty-six years, we can still be together, why not look forward to the next thirty-six years?" What about next year? When we are seventy and eighty years old and have become old monsters, it will be the best if we can still drink together. Today, the Tang Dynasty has exceeded my original imagination. I just hope that I will. When I was alive, I could see the train, but now I really see it. I hope I can see the firecrackers when I am alive. Now I can see it. I hope that when I am alive, the country will still be peaceful and the people are safe, and the Tang Dynasty will still be unparalleled. Now I I still saw it, so I dreamed about seeing more, seeing farther, and seeing a better tomorrow. Chengqian, you also hope so, right? " Li Chengqian smiled and nodded: "If it is possible. If I live for another thirty-six years, I will definitely be able to see what I want to see, and you will definitely be able to see what you want to see. Sanming, really, I really have a hunch that this is really the case! " Suning Ju Li Chengqian raised his glass: "Live for another thirty-six years!" Li Chengqian laughed and raised his glass: "Live for another thirty-six years!" Live for another thirty-six years Live for another thirty-six years Live for another thirty-six years ¡ Such words are still lingering in his ears, as if what happened yesterday, just like in a dream, but when Suning woke up from his dream, he was shocked to find that the time was already ten years later. In the blink of an eye, Li Chengqian It had been five years since his death, but he had not kept his agreement with Suning. On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Yonglong, Emperor Li Chengqian passed away in his palace in Sanyuan County. He was fifty-three years old. In the blink of an eye, Suning was already sixty years old. , his wife Li Ruihan died of illness a year ago, and his beloved concubine Ling'er Lan'er passed away one after another. After Suning lost his best friend, he lost his beloved wife and concubine. In the seventh year of Yonglong, Changsun Chong died of illness. In the ninth year of Yonglong, Yuchi Baolin died of illness. In the tenth year of Yonglong, the Empress Dowager Changsun Gao passed away Friends left Suning one by one, and family members also left Suning one by one. My mother passed away, and everyone left Suning. His aunt passed away, his brother Su Dingfang passed away, Cui Xiaoyi, the most effective behind-the-scenes helper, died of illness, leaving only Zhang Long among the four guards who was still loyally guarding Suning, Chen Xie passed away of illness, Wang Hui was old, Xia Yan was seriously ill and could not afford it. Lin is seriously ill and cannot afford it Suning feels more and more that the longer he lives, it is a burden and a torture for the living. Suning is no longer willing to stay around Chang'an City. He hopes to stay far away from here. Yes, it¡¯s best to go to a place where no one knows, so that you can no longer hear the news that you don¡¯t want to hear, and you don¡¯t have to endure that kind of pain. No matter who the bad news is, you don¡¯t have to know it Around yourself Only Chun'er, his ordinary wife, and Wu Zhao, his concubine, are left. Their youth has passed and they are entering their twilight years. Suning wonders what will happen if he loses the two of them? The Su family, which was sparsely populated at first, is now becoming more and more prosperous. Suning's grandson Su Zhe has reached the age where he can receive military training. Su Qingren has achieved his former position - Minister of the Zongheng Department. The Su family has become a great power. One of the top families in the Tang Dynasty, as long as he is still alive, this will not happenHow to change. Since the death of Li Chengqian, Emperor Yonglong Li Xiang has summoned Suning to the court several times every year. Suning declined without exception. He would rather patrol the world for the emperor than be the number one in the court that Li Xiang had prepared for Suning. People - the position of Shangshu Ling, this is the highest civil servant position in the Tang Dynasty. Because His Majesty Li Er once served as Shangshu Ling, the position of Shangshu Ling is not easily awarded to others, and Shangshu Ling is equivalent to the real prime minister. If there is In the case of Shangshu Ling, the original prime ministers, Zuo Pu She, will take a back seat and become the deputy of Shangshu Ling. Only then can it be said that he is truly under one person and above ten thousand people, and has a high position of power. In Li Xiang's mind, except for Suning, the last remaining veteran of the Zhenguan Dynasty, even the still-living demon king Cheng Yaojin was not qualified to assume such a position, not to mention that Cheng Yaojin also suffered a defeat and was stained. Li Xiang, who has become a mature emperor, increasingly hopes to be assisted by experienced ministers like Suning who are experienced and talented but have no desire for power and gain. Suning's sincere teachings during his childhood had a great impact on Li Xiang. Li Chengqian also told Li before his death. Xiang must "serve Suning as his father" and must not do anything rude. But Suning just didn¡¯t agree. After all the people he was most familiar with passed away, Chang'an City was already a sad place, and Suning was unwilling to approach it again. However, in the thirteenth year of Yonglong, the 41-year-old Yonglong Emperor Li Xiang suddenly fell ill and became seriously ill in a short period of time. Before his death, he abdicated the throne to his fourth son Li Chang, who was only ten years old, and helped Li Chang with his own hands. He ascended the throne, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Qianyuan, and then issued the last order to recall Suning. He dragged his mortal body and waited with his last breath. This time, Suning did not refuse. When he learned that Li Xiang, who was only 41 years old, was suddenly suffering from illness. Seriously ill, 63-year-old Suning rushed back to Chang'an City and once again stepped into Chang'an City, which he had not set foot in for more than ten years. Li Xiang finally waited until Suning. One month before his death, Suning rushed back to Chang'an City and saw Li Xiang who was seriously ill. Li Xiang held Suning's hand with tears in his eyes and asked Suning to take the position of Shangshu Ling. Choosing the fourth son Li Chang to succeed him was a helpless move. The first three sons were all ineffective, and his eldest son was even less effective. He would never allow his eldest son to succeed, so he resolutely decided to pass the throne to the smart and kind fourth son Li Chang, but Li Chang Chang was too young, only ten years old. He hoped that Suning could assist Li Chang, stabilize the court, intimidate the civil servants and generals, and even the unconvinced people. Suning agreed with tears in her eyes. Li Xiang grabbed Suning's hand and said: "I hope my father-in-law will teach Chang'er strictly, remember the love of my great ancestor, grandfather, and father, and protect me for thousands of years in the Tang Dynasty. Xiang'er is very grateful" Suning choked and said: " Your Majesty Suning obeys the order." Li Xiang looked at Li Chang who was crying and said solemnly: "After your father passes away, you should serve Prime Minister Su as your grandfather. You are not allowed to make decisions on all matters in the court without permission from Prime Minister Su. Everyone in the court must obey the instructions of Prime Minister Su. All domestic and foreign affairs are decided by Prime Minister Su before they can be implemented. In this way, my father can rest in peace." Li Chang knelt on the ground and cried: "My son. Obey the decree! "On the seventh day of the seventh month of the thirteenth year of Yonglong, Emperor Yonglong Li Xiang died of illness in Chang'an City at the age of forty-one. He was named Zhongzong in the temple and posthumously named Emperor Dahe and Dasheng. Emperor Qianyuan Li Chang, who was only ten years old, ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. He appointed the first-class Qin Duke Suning as Shangshu Ling and the head of the ministers. He was in charge of national affairs, domestic and foreign affairs, and fully respected Su's wishes. Starting from July of the first year of Qianyuan, , Suning became the de facto ruler of the Tang Empire and held a high position of power. However, Suning abided by the etiquette of being a minister and did not bully the young master, which was a good story for a while. For example, the etiquette of going to court is that the emperor sits first, and the ministers sit behind. The young emperor Li Chang respected Suning. When going to court, he saluted Suning first and asked Suning to sit first. Suning refused to sit down. The emperor must sit first, and he sat behind. The little emperor was at a loss. , Suning kept standing. Suning refused to sit down, and the ministers did not dare to sit down. Finally, the servants around him persuaded the little emperor to sit down first. The little emperor sat down helplessly. Suning then saluted the little emperor, said "Long live", and then sat down. , Suning sat down, and the ministers dared to sit down. The little emperor repeatedly raised this point with Suning, saying that it was his father's order to treat Suning with the same etiquette as he treated his grandfather. It was natural for him to do so. Suning stood up every time and said seriously: "The etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, How can we abolish it? The late emperor trusted me and entrusted me with important matters. I was so grateful that I did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, for fear of damaging the important affairs of the country. Your Majesty is young, but you are the emperor of thousands of people and the emperor of ninety-five miles! The Lord of tens of thousands of living beings! After all, I am a minister. Your Majesty is the emperor. To be an emperor, you must have dignity and know etiquette. Otherwise, how can you serve the public? I will only take charge of the government for a few years. When your Majesty reaches adulthood, I will return to the government. Your Majesty, will your Majesty realize the importance of etiquette only then? I hope your Majesty will never mention this matter again, so that I can feel at ease. Otherwise, how can I see the late Emperor with my dignity after my death?Meet Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Taizong face to face? "The little emperor Li Chang felt an unprecedented feeling of being respected. From then on, he became more and more respectful to Suning. In domestic and foreign affairs, he fully respected Suning's will. In the appointment and dismissal of officials, and even the selection of concubines, Suning must help him decide. Suning gave He expressed his own opinions, but also allowed Li Chang to learn to make his own choices instead of simply relying on himself. He tried his best to make Li Chang understand that the emperor could decide things by himself. Year after year, Li Chang gradually matured. In 1999, the 70-year-old Shangshu Ling and Duke of Qin Suning resigned from his post and returned to Emperor Li Chang on the grounds that Emperor Li Chang was of age and had enough knowledge to be emperor. Li Chang was shocked and asked to be appointed official. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked and asked Suning to stay as Shangshu Ling and take charge of the government. Suning was determined and refused Emperor Li Changzhi's appointment three times and insisted on leaving the court. Li Chang repeatedly failed to persuade him to stay, so he had to bid farewell to Suning with tears. After leaving Chang'an City, Li Chang also planned to marry Suning and become king, but Suning refused. In the seventh year of Qianyuan, during the reign of Li Chang, the fifth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Suning had no contemporary friends. Yaojin died of illness in the second year of Qianyuan, and he personally drafted a posthumous title for him. Cheng Chumo also died of illness a year later. Li Boyao died of illness in the sixth year of Qianyuan. Du He, Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and others were getting old. Suning didn't know Will he be able to see them again after he leaves However, Suning was determined. He left Chang'an City with the old man who followed him, as well as a wife and a concubine, and went to where he promised to be thirty years ago. In Ningxian, where he grew old, the house was always being cleaned and taken care of. Everything was the same as it was thirty years ago. When Suning came here, things had changed, people had mixed feelings, and he was unwilling to leave here in the ninth year of Qianyuan. The eldest princess of Linchuan, Li Chun, who had been married for more than ten years, passed away before Suning. From then on, Suning was left with only the last concubine, Wu Zhao. Suning was heartbroken, so she personally built a coffin for Chun'er, wrote the tombstone with her own hands, and buried her. On the right and left of the tomb prepared by his family, his beloved wife Li Ruihan has been sleeping quietly for almost twenty years, waiting for Suning to reunite with her. The charming twin sisters are also waiting for Suning in another world. Arrival, waiting to continue being husband and wife in another world. The long-lived gunpowder prince Li Tai passed away in the eleventh year of Qianyuan. Since then, all the sons of His Majesty Li Er have passed away. Suning also lost his beloved disciple. It brought the age of steam and gunpowder, giving people unlimited possibilities and hopes, but he always stayed in his own era and continued to be his own gunpowder prince in his own era Suning has never been seen again since then. He did not allow Wu Zhao to leave his sight even half a step away from Wu Zhao, for fear that Wu Zhao would go before him. In his memory, Wu Zhao had lived for a long, long time. He had always looked forward to this, but God did not fulfill his wishes. In the 13th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Wu Zhao died of illness. She held Suning's hand tightly, as if desperately trying not to let her last breath escape. She stared at Suning closely, tears bursting out of her eyes. She said she was reluctant to let Suning go. Living alone, but she did not succeed, and the last person around Suning also left After that, Suning often sat alone under a big mulberry tree. That big mulberry tree was his first time forty years ago. When I came here, the whole family planted it together. At that time, everyone was still there, but now, no one is here. There is nothing wrong with living a long life, but it will be very painful. The one you love will die first. Suning was unwilling to bear the pain again The afternoon sun was warm, and it was quite comfortable on the body. In the warm climate of the South, the big mulberry trees would not turn yellow due to autumn and winter. Suning strolled under the big mulberry tree, He raised his head, looked at the lush green leaves, and sighed slightly. It had been twenty years since Qianyuan, and he was already eighty-three years old. He and Li Chengqian had agreed to live together for another thirty-six years, but Li Chengqian broke his promise and left himself alone. Although he was not willing to do so, Suning was even worried that God would impose the unfinished years of Li Chengqian's life on him. If that were the case, wouldn't it be good for him? Too cruel? "Don't look at me as just a sheep. The green grass becomes more fragrant because of me, the sky becomes bluer because of me, and the white clouds become softer because of me. Don't look at me as just a sheep. The cleverness of sheep is unimaginable ¡¡± Suning suddenly heard a burst of singing. He frowned, instinctively feeling that something was not right. Following the sound of the singing, Suning suddenly saw a shepherd boy riding a sheep walking towards him from a distance. As he walked closer and closer, Suning felt more and more familiar with this song. Where did he hear it? When did you hear it? Why, why do you always feel that this song should not appear in Datang? "I won't be sad if there are any problems that hinder me. I won't panic if there is any danger around me. Even if there are wolves around me, it's just a game~" XiaoThe shepherd boy's singing was getting closer and closer, and the people were getting closer and closer. Suning's eyes gradually became moist. When the little shepherd boy passed by Suning's eyes, Suning had not recovered yet, but the little shepherd boy looked at the old grandfather with tears in his eyes. , quite confused: "Old man, why are you crying? Is there something sad?" Suning finally came to his senses. Looking at the cute little shepherd boy in front of him, Suning wiped his tears and asked with a smile: "My little friend, what are you doing this year? How old are you?" The little shepherd boy replied innocently: "Eight years old!" Suning nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Who taught you the song you just sang? Been there." The little shepherd boy's eyes widened, and he tilted his head and asked doubtfully: "Old man, have you heard of it? No, my ancestor told me that she only taught me how to sing, and no one else in the world could sing. Oh the ancestor seemed to have said that someone else taught her to sing, what is her name? By the way, her surname is her husband! Grandpa, do you know this husband? " Suning smiled and looked at the person in front of her. The little boy asked: "Maybe I know you, little friend, how old is your ancestor this year? Is he in good health?" The little shepherd boy replied: "My ancestor is quite old, he is already eighty-six years old. People say that my ancestor is a longevity star! They all hope that my ancestor can continue to live and plan to celebrate her 90th birthday! However, my ancestor is in good health and does not need help when walking! She still has something to do, but I don¡¯t know.¡± Suning stretched out her palm, smiled, and stroked the little shepherd boy¡¯s head while shedding tears: ¡°Little friend, what¡¯s your last name?¡± The little shepherd boy looked in front of him. The strange crying grandfather said: "My surname is Su. The ancestors said that this is the ancestral name of our entire family. We must not forget that our surname is SuOld man, please don't touch the top of my head anymore. The ancestors said, If someone touches the top of your head, you will not grow tallerOld man, why are you crying again" (End of the book) r1152?
