Tang Ning still underestimated Emperor Chen's determination. With the general trend of the court to suppress the powerful and the number of people who have been reducing their titles over the years, Emperor Chen actually went against the trend and granted him a Marquis of Dingguo.
When Tang Ning learned the news, he actually refused.
No other reason
Although the Marquis of Dingguo sounds domineering, before him, this title was granted to the dead. It is unlucky to be granted to the living.
Of course, he was a broom star. Chen State was defeated by him from the Six Ministry to the Shangshu Province to Jiangnan, to Chu State, grassland, at home and abroad. Naturally, he didn't have to worry about anything unlucky.
He was thinking about what he would be awarded this time. What would Emperor Chen reward him next time he made great contributions?
The official position cannot be promoted again, and the marquis is also in one step. Going further up is the Duke of the State of Chen. Which one of the existing Duke of the State of Chen has not been half of his body? Tang Ning would rather Chen convert these rewards into silver than ask for these useless names.
You don't want it, don't want it to give it to me!
Xiao Jue looked at him with a jealous look on his face and said: Ah, Marquis of Dingguo, my father is not qualified to be granted this. Since the founding of Chen State, there are only three of you who have won this honor. Do you think this is a cabbage, and you are worthy of it?
Tang Ning glanced at him and asked: Can cabbage be eaten and can make buns? Can the title of Marquis of Dingguo be?
Xiao Jue said angrily: This is something that can be remembered in history and will last forever!
Tang Ning looked at him and asked: Can you eat it?
The honor that no one dares to imagine in his dreams is within his reach, but he looks disgusted. What makes Xiao Jue even more depressed is that with his understanding of Tang Ning, his disgusting is really disgusting...
Xiao Jue felt even more depressed, threw an invitation on the table, and said: In three days, remember to prepare a big gift!
Xiao Jue came to send an invitation this time, and he and Lu Ya will get married in three days.
It is said that Mr. Xiao specially invited officials from the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac based on their birth dates and horoscopes. The calculated date was three months later. Lu Ding held it on his neck with a knife and asked again, and then changed the auspicious day to three days later.
Their marriage was without any signs. It was purely a rush to put it on the shelves. Lu Ya was already a little pregnant. If she delayed it, the old Lu family would be shameless in the capital.
Although the Lu family is a general's door, the general's door is not all shameless. The Lu family is a relatively shameless type in the general's door.
These days, the Xiao family has been in the doorstep.
After Tang Ning was promoted, Xiao Jue inherited his position and became the right general of the left guard, which was the first joy.
Tang Ning's Zuo Xiaowei General was originally the position of Mr. Xiao. After being replaced by Mr. Tang Ning, Mr. Xiao was already one of the three Dukes and was named Grand Marshal. He became one of the six most respected people in the Chen State court. This is the second joy.
Mr. Xiao, who can't stand up, is going to get married, this is the third joy
The Xiao family’s wife is pregnant, and the Xiao family, which is not prosperous, finally has a descendant, which is the fourth joy.
Although they don’t know whether Lu Ya will give birth to a son or a daughter, they are not worried about not being able to afford a second child. As long as they keep giving birth, they will give birth to a son sooner or later.
Now the Xiao family has become the top general in the capital from a declining noble family. In order to continue the family, it is necessary to spread the branches and leaves.
In the eyes of officials and the people in Beijing, whether Mr. Xiao is ranked third or Xiao Jue is promoted to general, the influence of these two things cannot be compared with Tang Ning's title of title.
Mr. Xiao is the father-in-law of the country. When he was young, he also made great contributions to the country. His Majesty has loved the Xiao family for many years. It is not surprising that he can be ranked among the third Duke.
Xiao Jue's position as a general was achieved by him working hard in the northwest, and others were convinced.
Only Tang Ning was named the Marquis of Dingguo, which was beyond everyone's expectations
Not to mention that the imperial court has not been granted a title for marquis for decades, he is the first person to be granted a title for marquis in recent years. Just the status of a marquis in the state is, no one in the capital can surpass him.
This also shows from the indirection that his position in His Majesty's heart is higher than that of all ministers and all powerful people.
Of course, the people doubted that it was not that he was not worthy of this title. With his achievements, it would not be surprising to be a king at the beginning of his country.
However, the title of Marquis of Dingguo has never been easily granted to others, and often chooses to use other alternatives. His Majesty broke the precedent this time, and I don’t know what he has.
After careful consideration, he was already in a high position and there was no reward for his reward. It seemed that he had only one way to win the title.
Generally speaking, when you arrive at this position, the emperor should worry about whether he will be arrogant because of his favor. His great achievements will shock the Lord, but His Majesty does not seem to be worried at all. Instead, he gives him all the trust and grace. This is an extremely abnormal thing for an emperor who is well versed in the art of emperors and is good at playing with the balance of power and skills.
Compared to His Majesty's thoughts, they are more curious about the feelings of the Tang family.
How glorious the Tang family was once, and Tang Ning was just an abandoned son of the Tang family at that time
What about now?
The Tang family has declined, and there is only one Zhongshu Sheshou She can still take action. The former abandoned son of the Tang family is now the Marquis of Dingguo, the General of Zuo Xiaowei, the Minister of Personnel, and the Left Secretary of the Shangshu...
Any of these titles can bring countless political resources to the Tang family and King Duan, but such people were pushed out by them back then
In the Tang family, the atmosphere was very depressing
How glorious and festive the other Tang Mansion in Beijing is, how depressing and depressing the Tang Mansion is.
The other party returned from a victory in the north and was named General and Marquis of Dingguo. He was praised and supported by the people of the capital. The servants of the Tang Mansion became more and more cautious. If the owner of the mansion was in a bad mood, they would even breathe wrongly.
A servant sighed leisurely when he thought of this. If the head of the family had chosen another path back then, how glorious would the Tang family be?
He just walked with his head down, and suddenly bumped into someone. When he looked up, he immediately panicked and bowed and said repeatedly: Young Master, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it...
Tang Zhao was reading a book in his hand, and without looking at him, he waved his hand and walked forward on his own.
The servant of the Tang family was a little relieved. Everyone knew that the second young master of the Tang family now had the best temper. Even if the servant made a mistake on weekdays, he would not punish him, or he would not be too lazy to punish him.
He will not waste his time other than reading books every day, except reading books
It's strange that the second young master used to hate reading, but since he was sentenced to two months in prison for talking back to the master, he was like a different person. He was so busy reading that he never went out to drink flowers and wine, nor was he stumbling with other dandy people in the capital, and locked himself in his room to read books every day...
The servants of the Tang Mansion were talking about this. Some people said that the second young master was enlightened, and some people said that he was crazy. No matter what the reason was, the second young master seemed to have changed his other person, but it was recognized by everyone.
Tang Mansion, inside Tang Huai's study room
Tang Huai rubbed his palm and asked softly: Marquis of Dingguo..., what does Your Majesty want to do?
Could it be a praise or killing?
Tang Qi looked gloomy and thought for a while, and said: This boy has become a climate. With His Majesty's thoughts, he must have been wary of him. Now the south of the Yangtze River has been settled, the northwest is flat, the birds are hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked. He has done something before...
Just a shit, the rabbit is not dead yet, what dog meat to eat...
Before Tang Huai could speak, a voice came from outside the door.
Tang Zhao walked into the study, took two books from the bookshelf, put them under his armpit, looked back, and said: Chen State is in a turmoil now, facing enemies everywhere, so he doesn't need such a good talent, but instead goes to suppress and praise him. Dad, are you stupid to be Your Majesty?
What do you know about a bastard? Tang Qi lowered his face and said: Jiangnan is stable, and there are no enemies on the grassland. Why is Chen State in a turmoil?
There is no enemy on the grassland? Tang Zhao glanced at him and asked: Do you know why Sushen people repeatedly violated the border?
Tang Qi said: Su Shenren is ambitious and wants to occupy Chen's land...
They live well on the grassland, and when they are full, they put their heads on their belts, and run to Yinshan to fight against the border army.
Tang Zhao looked at him and said: If Heiman hadn't been forced to stay on the grassland, would you think they would have nothing to do?
He glanced at Tang Huai and Tang Qi and said: Heiman is the biggest threat on the grassland. Sushen people were beaten like dogs on the grassland. When they destroyed Sushen, the next one was Chen Chu.
He changed his tone and said: This is just a grassland. In the past few months, Guizhou has been in chaos. If there is chaos in Guizhou, the two Jiangnan roads will be threatened immediately. What's more, there are Xiaowan in the Western Regions eyeing them. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the plateau in the west. The surroundings are in chaos. Your Majesty still wants to suppress the heroes. Are you fools who you think Your Majesty is a fool?
Tang Qi frowned and looked at him and asked: Who told you this?
Read more books and newspapers, and guess less about your Majesty's thoughts... Tang Zhao patted two books under his armpits, and walked out the door and said: There is a golden house in the book, and there is a beauty in the book. The ancients really didn't bully Ah...
When Tang Ning learned the news, he actually refused.
