Mrs. Gaoming is nothing more than a monthly salary from the court, which is not much.
Moreover, after the person dies, the imperial edict will be automatically revoked.
But the title is different, but it can be passed down.
Therefore, except for the founding of the country, titles would be more frequent. Later emperors, whether they were Ming soldiers or faint emperors, would not grant titles easily.
Once you are granted a title, you will be granted a city, which means that those people do not need to pay taxes to the court, and their taxes belong to the noble.
The more titles you confer, the less the court's income will be.
Titles are divided into hereditary and non-hereditary titles. Non-hereditary titles will gradually decrease after three generations.
If it is the lowest baron, it will be taken back after three generations.
Although Lin Xuan was looking for a baron, Li Shimin did not grant him the title lightly in order to show the importance of the title.
After speaking, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and Li Zhi and said, "Come back with me."
"Yes." The two of them responded and came to Li Shimin.
Li Zhi glanced at the unfinished corn with some reluctance.
Li Shimin said: "By the way, hand over all the corn to me, and don't keep any of it."
Lin Xuan knew that after Li Shimin took away the corn, it ended up in Li Shimin's stomach, but he did not dare to refute and asked someone to take out the corn that had been cooked before.
Li Shimin took the corn and left with the courtesy of Lin Xuan's family.
"Master, am I Mrs. Gaoming now?"
Until Li Shimin left, Zhang Qing still couldn't believe it.
She never thought that one day she would still be sentenced to death.
"Mother-in-law, generally the wife or mother of a marquis will receive a royal title." Li Lizhi said with a smile.
Lin Dongyang didn't know what to say at this time. They were a good family, his wife was Mrs. Gaoming, his son was a marquis, and his daughter-in-law was a princess, so he and his daughter were the only ones who were still white.
"Xuan'er, it doesn't matter whether dad has a title or not. Anyway, dad is your only son. You are already a marquis. Who will pass it on to? When you go to the battlefield, you must pay attention to safety. You must not take risks just to make meritorious deeds. You know
Huh?" Lin Dongyang warned.
"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter what title Xuan'er holds, your safety is the most important." Zhang Qing also recovered from the surprise of the imperial edict and said.
Seeing that Li Lizhi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, Lin Xuan quickly said: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I naturally know that my life is the most important."
Lin Xuan's words were not meant to comfort them. He admired those who were loyal and brave very much, and also admired those who risked their lives for the ideals in their hearts.
But he is just a small person, so I admire him, and he cannot risk his own life just for merit.
Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing worriedly warned them a few more times before taking Lin Wanxi away.
Li Shimin took all the corn away, and the roasted corn could not be eaten. Lin Xuan had people clean up the yard, and Li Lizhi and he returned to the living room.
"Husband, your injury has not healed yet. How can you set out tomorrow? Why don't I go to the palace to beg my father?" Li Lizhi said.
"No need, I used Jade Dew Cream and it's almost healed. I'll take a carriage there at worst."
If today's incident had not happened, Li Lizhi's plea might have been useful, but it is unlikely that she would plead now.
Seeing what Lin Xuan said, Li Lizhi had no choice but to give up and said, "My husband is leaving tomorrow, do you want to take your cousin with you?"
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that Li Lizhi was talking about Changsun Chong and said: "That's right, His Majesty punished him to be sent to the heroic guard, and he will naturally be taken with him tomorrow."
Li Lizhi hesitated for a moment and said: "Husband, my cousin was very good to me in the past. Can you please take care of me?"
Lin Xuan looked at Li Li and asked, "Did someone ask you to plead for mercy?"
"Well, when I came back from the palace yesterday, my aunt stopped me on the way and asked me to plead with my husband so that he would not embarrass my cousin."
"My aunt used to take good care of my mother and treat me very well. I really can't refuse her. If my husband is in trouble, then forget it." Li Lizhi said.
Lin Xuan sighed and said: "Li Zhi, Your Majesty is about to mobilize the army to attack the grassland. There will be countless armies going out by then. Do you know why Your Majesty asked the eldest grandson to rush to the heroic guard to surrender?"
Li Lizhi shook her head.
"Because Your Majesty knows that no matter which army he is placed in, whoever the general is will give Duke Zhao face, so Your Majesty asked Chang Sun Chong to come to the heroic guard. If I take care of Chang Sun Chong, I am afraid Your Majesty will cause trouble for me."
Lin Xuan smiled bitterly.
Although the generals and civil servants did not deal with him, Cheng Yaojin often criticized Changsun Wuji.
But Lin Xuan believed that if the eldest grandson was allowed to rush into Cheng Yaojin's hands, Cheng Yaojin would not embarrass him.
Without him, no one can guarantee that they or their family members will not make mistakes.
I will help whenever I can.
Cheng Yaojin knew very well that Li Shimin didn't really want to do anything to Changsun Chong, so he would naturally betray Changsun Wuji to save face.
Although Li Shimin didn't really want to do anything to Changsun Chong, he wanted him to suffer, so he put him here with Lin Xuan.
If he shows mercy, Li Shimin will definitely make trouble for him.
"In this case, my husband just took me as my concubine."
A cousin is not as important as her husband, Li Li understands this very well.
…
Because Lin Xuan was about to go on an expedition, Li Lizhi took the initiative in the evening. She lost all her shyness in the past and allowed Lin Xuan to enjoy it.
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan dressed neatly and went to Chang'an accompanied by his family.
He needed to go to the clan mansion, pick up Changsun Chong, and then set off.
When he arrived at the Zongren Mansion, Liu Da came forward to negotiate with the guards of the Zongren Mansion, and the guards went in. Changsun Chong was taken out not long after.
I don’t know if the clan’s mansion took care of Changsun Chong in advance, or if Changsun Chong didn’t suffer in it at all.
Apart from Changsun Chong being a little depressed, he was no different from usual.
Lin Xuan had no intention of talking to Changsun Chong, so he directly asked someone to lead a horse to him.
"Lin Xuan, I want to go home first, and then go to the army with you." Changsun Chong said.
"His Majesty's imperial edict did not say that you can go home. If you want to go home, I will not stop you. At most, I will report it to the police and say that you have absconded out of fear of crime." Lin Xuan said calmly.
"You..." Changsun Chong pointed at Lin Xuan angrily.
Although Li Shimin was angry when he beat Princess Gaoyang, he would not really do anything to her. However, if he dared to openly resist the order, even Changsun Wuji would not be able to protect him.
Although Changsun Chong is a playboy, he is not a fool. He naturally understands this truth.
Lin Xuan ignored Changsun Chong and directly ordered his soldiers to turn around and head outside Chang'an City.
Changsun Chong stood there, hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, got on his horse, and followed.
He wanted to go home because he wanted to bring some guards and money. The brave guards were all Lin Xuan's people. It was very easy for Lin Xuan to harm him.
Now he no longer has time to think about it. Changsun Chong only hopes that his father can send some people over.
Lin Xuan was not surprised at all when he learned that Chang Sun Chong had followed him. He would be happy if Chang Sun Chong went back. What a pity.
