Li Sheng asked himself that this was not a matter of picking and choosing, but this was not the time of the Qin and Han dynasties. At that time, let alone the serious titles of marquis, even the ordinary Marquis of Che was a proper high-ranking official and generous salary.
In this era, due to the development of papermaking technology, more and more folk heroes have developed, and the threshold has accordingly become higher, so they want to be crowned dukes. Now that printing has also been invented, the Tang Dynasty will have more talent reserves in the future.
Obviously, a higher-level title will have to be given, otherwise no one may work for Datang.
Of course, Li Sheng didn't really care about the Duke or anything else, but what Li Sheng cared about was that this Marquis... he had always been quite satisfied with.
To say it is high, it certainly cannot be called too high, but to say it is low, the treatment is actually quite good - although Li Sheng has not had any income from the fiefdom in these years, the total amount is not low.
Of course, the most important thing is that the position of the Marquis is very safe and inconspicuous. Li Sheng also knows that the ancient officialdom is not as peaceful as the officialdom of later generations. For a Marquis to hang out for a few years and then follow Fan Li's example and run away directly. This is the most perfect script.
.
However, everything in the world is not that simple. Li Sheng also knew that when people are in the arena, they cannot help themselves... But when they go from the arena to the temple, they have even more control.
Therefore, Li Shengping has always had a very clear self-positioning - he must not give the emperor a chance!
Promotion and salary increase are good, but the cost is an extremely troublesome life, so Li Sheng Xunsi might as well not give up.
In short, after thinking about it like this, Li Sheng is naturally very wary of things like high-ranking officials and generous salaries... After all, he doesn't just need these things.
Of course, Li Sheng didn't think that he would really be granted the title of Duke, because the title of Duke... could only be obtained by military generals who had made great contributions in the turbulent wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty, or because of the Xuanwu Sect.
People who have done their best.
As for the others? Li Er is famous for cherishing feathers and attaching great importance to MG.
but……
Just the day after the steel ship... no, it was now called the steam ship trial, Li Sheng received a piece of news that was speechless and confusing——
Li Sheng, the Marquis of Shengxiang, was canonized as the King of Shengxiang!
Food town...eight thousand households!
The level of this food town is almost close to the "ten thousand households" of the Han Dynasty - but the significance is completely different, because the early Tang Dynasty experienced troubled times, and the population was much larger than that of the Western Han Dynasty at its peak!
This food town once surpassed the level of all the princes of the dynasty...
The best in the world!
This is another Wangjue and a food town with 8,000 households. This time, Li Sheng was directly frightened.
Damn it, this Li Er is so generous, he must be poisonous...
Li Sheng instinctively thought of this, and his brain realized very quickly that he might have been involved in some court or palace political dispute...
This probability is really not small.
And in the face of this situation... Even if Li Sheng had always consciously stayed away from the court and authority, he had to weigh it now. This prince... also has eight thousand households, which is too heavy!
It's just that, after all, Li Sheng has consciously stayed away from the world of authority for so long, and he still doesn't know much about the division of power in the court and the spheres of influence of the various powerful figures. But then again...
Since such great luck had fallen from the sky, Li Sheng thought about it and gradually realized that it was probably best for him not to be exposed to too much of this kind of thing.
Who knows... what will happen in the future.
As long as Li Er doesn't summon him personally, then... he once "left the place", and he will continue to leave the place in the future, no matter what he does, just keep a low profile and be done with it...
Li Sheng quickly calmed down his panic and nervousness and returned to his stall.
It is also because Li Sheng is more interested in cruise ships than his reputation in the court, and it is also because Li Sheng feels that he has not much interaction with people from all walks of life in Chang'an...except for Lao Li and others, so it should be
There will be no situation where someone will be praised and killed if he offends someone, so although this problem is not small, it will soon be ignored.
But on the other side...
Although Li Sheng no longer cares about this matter, the people of the Tang Dynasty still care about how our holy prince is doing now, and they even talk about it with great interest.
In the past, people often argued with people about which constellation in the sky Li Sheng descended from, but now that there are new materials, people are naturally more interested.
But besides Li Er, the people, and the officials in the court... there were others who were also worried about this matter.
For example, Queen Changsun and Changle. Because they finally opened their eyes, experienced, and even personally participated in military and state affairs, Changle's situation is not small now, and they are naturally more concerned about the fate of the emperor's brother. I imagine that the emperor's brother can be crowned king.
This princess has contributed a lot in conquering Goguryeo in the past, and her contribution is not small. Can't she also be crowned a queen?...
In addition to the palace, there are of course many people who are secretly watching this kind of thing.
for example……
Wang Jing and others with the fifth surname Qiwang gritted their teeth when they saw the news.
The combination of a cowardly king and a treacherous minister goes one step further, which is simply unbearable.
for example……
Jin Baiman and Pu Yuji, these two miserable ladies who fled to Japan but were unfortunately sent to the Tang Dynasty as gifts, were naturally paying attention to the news.
I learned that Li Sheng was actually canonized as a king...
This made both Jin Baiman and Park Yuji feel extremely frightened.
Even in their hometown, the title of prince is the most dangerous official position. A certain native prince - usually his majesty's good brothers or sons - is already in a high position and has great influence.
And the king who will be canonized the day after tomorrow is even more terrifying.
The princes who are born the day after tomorrow usually have to have great meritorious service, otherwise they will never be canonized. And those who can be canonized...
It is conceivable that they are not just idle people. Their merits are not in vain, and they often make great contributions to the country.
In the past few years, due to the similar geographical location, both Baekje and Silla's top officials had a lot of knowledge about Goguryeo, and they were also guessing... When would Goguryeo's Yeon Gaesumun be banned?
The king comes out.
This person's grand prestige and powerful methods are unparalleled in the entire world east of Mobei.
However, in an instant, Yeon Gaesumun died, and Goguryeo was destroyed in the blink of an eye...
Although Silla was inexplicably killed as a wild monster, the survivors of the Baekje royal family, Kim Baekman and Park Yuji were also very curious. Yeon Gaesumun was an unparalleled hero, but they were all destroyed by this man in one blow. This Li
Who is Sheng... exactly?
This product is so awesome!
While sighing, Pu Yuji had a deeper mind and had always served Li Sheng wholeheartedly without doing anything extraordinary. Jin Baiman, on the other hand, kept telling himself...
