    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 we went to and the distances were relatively close. Suning could still go home for the Chinese New Year every year. But after a few years, the places he went to started to be very far away and he wouldn¡¯t return to Chang¡¯an for two or three years.It was also common for Suning to move to the newly occupied territory of the Tang Dynasty, to the plateau mountains that people in China considered barren land, and to the old places of Tubo, Tuyuhun, the Western Regions, and the Western Regions.  The hometown of Turks, the hometown of Eastern Turks, the hometown of Goguryeo, the hometown of Japan, etc

    Have officials treated local foreigners rationally, have local Han people bullied foreigners, have foreigners maliciously resisted the government¡¯s good intentions, has the land been developed, has foreign conscription begun, have houses been built, and have there been any war wounds.  In recovery, has it developed the economy, culture, and population in accordance with the actual situation? Has it implemented the basic policies of the court? Has it adapted to local conditions and sought truth from facts

    Year after year, year after year, Suning never stopped moving forward. He was no longer based in the court, but insisted on traveling to places. What the emperor could not see, what the officials could not see  He can see everything. He can praise benevolent officials who have achieved political achievements, but he will never condone the treacherous and evil people. He will not ignore the three elders who fight against the ignorant officials, nor ignore the relationship with the government.  The place where the powerful colluded and the emperor could not reach was the place where Mr. Su Ning administered 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 left. He had a dream. He wanted to be a famous teacher with students all over the world. He was educated in a school in the suburbs of Luoyang. After he left the court, he became a teacher and an elementary school teacher, teaching students in his hometown of Luoyang.  The young child read and practiced calligraphy, and became famous all over the world, bringing out countless students. When he knew that his time was running out, he wrote to Suning and asked him to come to Luoyang. Under the warm sunshine of the winter afternoon, Suning listened to the last words of Du Ruhui.  In one class, I watched Du Ruhui bring out the good news from the students who took the imperial examination, and listened to the children reading 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, smiling broadly??The day before he left, Du He led his army to capture Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, and 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 no living beings are needed. The only thing that is definitely needed is the book of the people that was submitted by the people when he abdicated

    In the 13th year of Chenghe, Fang Xuanling, a veteran of the three dynasties, passed away. Li Chengqian mourned for him. He withdrew from court for three days and called him the "old man of the country." In the 14th year of Chenghe, Wei Zheng, a veteran of the three dynasties and a famous remonstrator, died, and Li Chengqian personally mourned him.  Presiding over the funeral, holding the coffin and crying bitterly, he said that when his father was still alive, he always warned himself that admonishers like Wei Zheng are like a mirror, which can tell him what he has gained and what he has lost, and avoid making stupid mistakes. Wei Zheng  With his death, he 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 child was trained by me. From the bottom of the Zongheng Department to where he is today, although he is not very old, I appreciate his shrewdness and ability."Here, isn¡¯t it great for a son to inherit his father¡¯s legacy?  "

    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 what about the children in the future, I am very worried"

    Li Chengqian poured a glass of wine for Suning and said with a smile: "As you said to me before, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Why do you think so much? I don't care what Xiang'er can achieve, so how can you do it?  Are you worried about Qingren? But now, you still can¡¯t forget Yingmeng? 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, it's been seventeen years since she left me, I didn't know she was gone  Where, how are you doing now? I don¡¯t even know if she is still alive. I didn¡¯t blame her. I had forgiven her a long time ago. Before His Majesty passed away, he held my hand and told me not to blame her, saying that this was all  It was her fault that 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 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 have been the supreme emperor, all the elders, friends and old acquaintances of the past are gone.  , none of them stayed. Seeing that we are getting older, every time we meet, we lose one. No one knows if we will meet again this time or if there will be another time. Sanming, if you can still see Yingmeng, tell her for me.  , I can¡¯t help her either. Before my father left, he asked me to spot an opportunity to vindicate my uncle. I didn¡¯t dare. 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 Nian? When we are seventy and eighty years old and have become old monsters, it will be best if we can still drink together. Today, the Tang Dynasty has exceeded my original imagination, really.

    I just hope that I can see the train when I am alive. Now I really see it. I hope that I can see the firecrackers when I am alive. Now I also 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 strong and prosperous.  Pi, I still see it now, so I dream about seeing more, seeing further, and seeing a better tomorrow. Chengqian, you also hope so, right?  "

    Li Chengqian smiled and nodded: "If I can live 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 premonition  , that¡¯s really it!¡±

    Suning 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 yearslive for another thirty-six yearslive 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 the dream, he was shocked to find that the time was already ten years later. In the blink of an eye, Li Chengqian passed away.  It has been five years, but he has 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 also a sixty-year-old man.  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 also 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, Empress Dowager Changsun Gao passed away

    Friends left Suning one by one, and family members also left Suning one by one. His mother passed away, his eldest aunt passed away, his brother Su Dingfang passed away, Cui Xiaoyi, the most powerful behind-the-scenes helper, died of illness, and only Zhang Long remained loyal among the four guards.  Geng Geng's bodyguard Suning, Chen Xie died of illness, Wang Hui was getting old, Xia Yan was seriously ill and couldn't afford it, Xiang Lin was seriously ill and couldn't afford it

    Suning felt more and more that living longer was a burden and torture for the living. Suning was no longer willing to stay around Chang'an City. He hoped to stay far away from here, and it was best to go to a place where  Where no one knows, you can no longer hear news that you don¡¯t want to hear, and you don¡¯t have to endure that kind of pain. No matter whose bad news it is, you don¡¯t have to know it

    Suning only has his wife Chun'er and his concubine Wu Zhao left by his side. 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 Mansion, which was sparsely populated at first, is now becoming more and more prosperous. Suning's grandson Suzhe has reached the age where he can receive military training. Su Qingren has already achieved his former position - Minister of Zonghengbu, Su family's secretary-general.He has suddenly become one of the top families in the Tang Dynasty, and this will not change as long as he is alive.

    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 that my father-in-law will teach Chang'er strictly, remember the love between my great ancestor, grandfather, and father, and protect me in the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years. Xiang'er is very grateful"

    Suning choked with sobs and said: "My lord, 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. No matter how big or small the affairs of the court are, you are not allowed to make decisions on your own without the permission of Prime Minister Su. Everyone in the court will wait for you."  , all must obey the instructions of Prime Minister Su, and all domestic and foreign affairs must be 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: "I obey the decree!"

    On the seventh day of July in 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 his posthumous title was Emperor Dahe, Dasheng and Zhaoxiao.

    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!  Lord of tens of millions of living beings!

    "After all, veterans are ministers, and Your Majesty is the emperor. To be an emperor, you must have dignity and know etiquette, otherwise how can you convince the public?  The old minister has only been in charge of the government for a few years. When your Majesty comes of age, he will return to the government. Is it possible that your Majesty will not know until then?The importance of etiquette?  I hope that your Majesty will never mention this matter again in the future, so that the old minister can feel at ease. Otherwise, how can the old minister meet the late emperor after his death?  How could they meet Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Taizong?  "

    The young 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 make decisions. Suning gave  His own opinions also taught Li Chang 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 the seventh year of Qianyuan, the 70-year-old Shangshu Ling and Qin Guogong Suning, a veteran of the four dynasties, resigned from his post. Emperor Li Chang came of age and had sufficient knowledge to become emperor.  The government was governed by Emperor Li Chang and he requested to be appointed official.

    Li Chang was shocked, and all the civil and military ministers of the court were shocked. They all asked Suning to stay as Shangshu Ling and take charge of the government. Suning was determined and refused Emperor Li Chang's appointment three times and insisted on leaving the court. Li Chang repeatedly failed to persuade him to stay, so he had to  After bidding farewell to Suning and leaving Chang'an City with tears, Li Chang also planned to advance Suning to the throne 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. Cheng Yaojin died of illness in the second year of Qianyuan. He personally drafted a posthumous title for him, and Cheng Chumo was also there.  He 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 if he would still see them after he left

    However, Suning was determined and left Chang'an City with the old man who followed him, as well as his wife and concubines, and went to Ning County, where he had promised to live his whole life thirty years ago. That house was always being cleaned, and someone was cleaning it.  Take care of it, everything is the same as it was thirty years ago. When Suning came here, things were different, people were mixed, and she 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 20 years, passed away before Suning. From then on, Suning was left with only the last concubine, Wu Zhao. Suning was so heartbroken that she personally built a coffin for Chun'er and wrote the tombstone in her own hand.  , she was buried on the right side of the tomb prepared by her family. On the left side, her beloved wife Li Ruihan had been sleeping quietly for almost twenty years, waiting for Suning to reunite with her. The charming twin sisters were also on the other side.  One world is waiting for Suning's arrival, and another world is waiting for them to continue being husband and wife.

    The long-lived gunpowder prince Li Tai passed away in the eleventh year of Qianyuan. His Majesty Li Er's sons have all passed away since then. Suning also lost his beloved disciple. He brought the Tang Dynasty into the steam age. The gunpowder age gave 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

    Since then, Suning has never left Wu Zhao, nor allowed Wu Zhao to leave his sight, for fear that Wu Zhao would die before him. In his memory, Wu Zhao had lived for a long, long time, and he had always looked forward to this, but  Unfortunately, Wu Zhao died of illness in the 13th year of Qianyuan. She held Suning's hand tightly, as if desperately trying not to let her last breath escape. She stared at Suning closely, tears welling up in her eyes.  She said that she was unwilling to let Suning live alone, but she failed, and the last person around Suning also left

    After that, Suning often sat under a big mulberry tree alone. The big mulberry tree was planted by his whole family when he first came here forty years ago. At that time, everyone was still there.  But now, no one is gone. There is nothing wrong with living a long life, but it will be very painful. Suning is not willing to bear the pain of losing the one he loves before him

    The afternoon sun was warm and comfortable on the body. In the warm climate of southern China, the big mulberry trees would not turn yellow due to autumn and winter. Suning strolled under the big mulberry tree, raised his head, looked at the lush green leaves, and sighed slightly.  He breathed a sigh of relief, it has been twenty years since Qianyuan, and he is already eighty-three years old. He and Li Chengqian had agreed to live together for another thirty-six years. Li Chengqian broke his promise and left himself alone in this world, but he overachieved.  Although this was not what he wanted, Suning was even worried that God would impose the unfinished years of Li Chengqian on him. If that were the case, wouldn't it be too cruel to him?

    "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 and instinctively felt 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.  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?

    "What's the matter?No matter how difficult the problem is, I won't be sad. If there is any danger around me, I won't panic. Even if there are wolves around me, it's just a game" The song of the little shepherd boy is getting closer and closer.  , 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 come back to his senses. However, the little shepherd boy looked at the tearful old grandfather and was quite puzzled: "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, how old are you this year?"

    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? I seem to have heard it somewhere."

    The little shepherd boy's eyes widened, and he tilted his head and asked doubtfully: "Old man, have you heard of it too? No, my ancestor told me that she only taught me to sing, and there is no one else in the world who can sing Oh  The ancestors seemed to have said that someone else taught her to sing. By the way, her surname is husband, and she is called husband! Grandpa, do you know this husband? "

    Suning looked at the child in front of him with a smile and asked: "Maybe we know each other, little friend, how old is your ancestor this year? Is his health okay?"

    The little shepherd boy replied: "My ancestor is very old, but he is already eighty-six years old. People say that my ancestor is the longevity star! They all hope that my ancestor can continue to live, and they are planning to celebrate his ninetieth birthday! However,  My ancestor is in good health and doesn¡¯t need help when walking! She also said that she wants to continue living, but she still has things to do, but I don¡¯t know.¡±

    Suning stretched out her palm, smiled, and while shedding tears, she stroked the little shepherd boy's head: "Little friend, what's your last name?"

    The little shepherd boy looked at the strange crying old man in front of him and said: "My surname is Su. Our ancestors said that this is the ancestral surname of our entire family. We must not forget that our surname is Su Old man, please don't touch the top of my head anymore."  , the ancestors said that if someone touches the top of the head, the person will not grow tallerOld man, why are you crying again" (End of the book) r1152
