After speaking, Li Er gave a solemn salute to Bai Fan!

Bai Fan stood up slowly, looked at Li Er, and saw the sincerity on his face. Although he didn't know what made him change like this, it was of course a good thing to be able to do this instead of tearing his face apart!

Bowed to Li Er, "Fan doesn't necessarily want an apology from His Majesty, but just doesn't want His Majesty to lose himself in the vortex of power and desire! Only when His Majesty wakes up, can Fan have the will and strength to contribute to the country. If His Majesty sinks from then on , even if Fan is freed, it will be a disaster for the world if you and my monarch and ministers are at odds!

Anyone who received His Majesty's gift today was not to accept His Majesty's apology!Instead, I want to ask His Majesty for one thing! "

Li Er was a little confused, you begged me to do something, and you asked me to salute you?What logic?

I saw Bai Fan said, "Fan has never entered the court, and today I want to apply for an official position with His Majesty!

I would like to follow the example of Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng, and bluntly say that admonishing the emperor should not avoid swords, prisons, and life and death! "

Li Er nodded in praise, "Using copper as a mirror, one can straighten one's clothes; one can learn from people, one can know gains and losses; one can learn from history, one can know successes and failures!

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only Xuan Cheng has the character of a literati to admonish the court!He is my mirror!

I am so relieved that you have this heart!I agree to this matter!

But can you tell me why you begged me to give you an official position, and why did you want me to salute you?You didn't mean to take advantage of me on purpose!Boy, you are so unkind! "

Bai Fan shook his head and retorted, "Why? This official position is not for wealth and honor. It is a profession of dancing on the tip of a knife. Give me a salute, and I will risk my life to advise you about your gains and losses. This is for your own good. wrong?

It is risky to scold you face to face, if you are not careful, you will be sent to prison and beheaded, otherwise why is Lord Wei the only one who is bold in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? "

Li Er thought it made sense, but why was there still a voice in his heart that seemed to tell him that he had been fooled?

The two monarchs and ministers met again and returned to the Palace of Political Affairs. Bai Fan did not ask Li Er how he figured out how to release himself, because he took the initiative to go to prison to force Li Er to bow his head and admit his mistakes with his own identity. Only the emperor who dared to face himself , in order to truly gain the trust of the courtiers!

In the Palace of Political Affairs, Bai Fan once again raised the matter of building a racecourse!

"Why do you insist on keeping the racecourse as a private property? I can promise not to enslave these BMWs and fulfill my promise to that BMW. The entire racecourse can be handed over to you for management, and the court will contribute people and efforts. Isn't it enough to just name it?" Li Er was puzzled!

"Your Majesty, it's not that Bai Fan doesn't trust the imperial court, but that once this peerless racecourse falls into the imperial court's hands, it will involve the distribution of power. This is like a shocking treasure. We can't guarantee that everyone will not be tempted to make a move!

Therefore, it can only be left in Bai Fan's private hands. Bai Fan does not enter the court, and no one in the official family dares to mess with him, so I am the most suitable!

Moreover, I want this racecourse for Zhongnan Academy. Civil servants and generals trained by the academy will go to the racecourse to choose mounts in the future. Isn’t this the same as raising horses in the imperial court?It also avoids the pretext of the villain's coveting! "Bai Fan explained the reason in detail!

After hearing this, Li Er nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, it is true! But, even so, I can't just give you this grassland with a radius of twenty miles!"

Why?Bai Fan was puzzled!

Thank you book friends for your eternal friendship!Today Chapter 5 was delivered, and there will be another chapter tonight!

Chapter 204 Release Bai Fan, Li Er admits his mistake

"You have been rewarded with a title for your military exploits, and you have been granted a land according to the title. You have established an academy in Lantian, so if I give you land now, it will be difficult for you to go to court! Because it is not a horse farm of the country!" Li Er was serious. road.

Bai Fan said anxiously, "Can't I exchange the title?"

Li Er laughed loudly, "What do you think the title of the Tang Dynasty is? I have heard of those who have been conferred for meritorious service, how can they exchange their titles for wealth! Besides, because you have the title of Lantian, you have the territory of Zhongnan Academy. Once the title is released, the land of Zhongnan Academy will be nationalized, do you want the pasture or the academy?"

Bai Fan opened his eyes wide, and looked at Li Er in surprise, "How could this happen? Your Majesty, you are still thinking about your past revenge, and you deliberately punished me, right?"

Li Er's face darkened, "I am the king of a country, how can I go back on my word? Who do you think I am?"

"I don't know who you are, but just one sentence put me in a black prison for three days," Bai Fan muttered.

"You call it a black prison? Don't think I don't know. My infatuated niece goes to the prison every day. After going there for a long time, your kid enjoys all the blessings in there. Is that called a prison?" Li Er scolded with a smile.

"Hey! Married a good daughter-in-law, even if you want to suffer."

"Then go back and enjoy the blessings, I can't give you twenty miles of pasture!"

"You are the king of a country, so you don't have any privileges? If you have any conditions, you can ask them!" Bai Fan asked.

Li Er spread his hands helplessly, "Do you think I don't want to contribute? There are thousands of hard-earned BMWs. Even if you don't want to be military horses, just pick two horses out of them as mounts, that's tempting enough!

But in an area with a radius of twenty miles, who would agree to those old guys in the court?If I insist on giving it to you, do you think Wei Zheng would dare to bump into his death in the hall? "

Bai Fan had an idea, "Then can I buy it with money?"

Li Er began to think about it, then shook his head and refused after a long while, "No, although the matter of spending money to buy it may pass through the court, and there is also a folk saying of buying and selling land, but such a large area of ​​dozens of miles has different meanings!

Once the trend of selling land is on the rise, will the rich and the powerful join forces to buy up the country's land in a big way?Have you thought about this consequence?This method must not work! "

Bai Fan also thought about this place, and it was really not feasible, so he changed his mind, "Then what about renting? I pay the imperial court every year for land rent, anyway, that piece of grassland is not used by anyone, so just pay the rent!

It can also increase the income of the imperial court, and one day the imperial court does not want to rent it, and can take back the site!

After the kid has made military exploits in the future, will you be kind enough to reward me there? "

Hearing this, Li Er said with a smile, "Now I know it's my favor? He was merciless when he scolded people! That's you boy, who would dare to change? Well, that's it. As for the rent, let's convert it according to the local price. I will order you to discuss with Cousin Xiaogong!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

After three days in the prison, he finally came back from prison. When he returned to the Bai family in Chang'an, he found that Li Jing, Zhang Chuchen and his wife, Zhang Qi and Zhang Zhongjian were all there!

As Bai Fan's aunt, Zhang Chuchen came forward to burn incense for Bai Fan to get rid of the bad luck. It is an old folk custom that after being released from prison, he must go to get rid of the bad luck. The Bai family has no elders, so Zhang Chuchen can only act on his behalf!

In the living room of the White Mansion, Li Jing was the first to speak, "Don't meddle in the court affairs from now on, you boy is too straightforward, so you are not expected to be in the court! Why don't you join the army with me!"

Hong Fu Nu interrupted, "What army do you join? Isn't the army the imperial court? I made a promise in the prison before, and I will teach in the academy with peace of mind in the future, and don't care about the affairs of the world anymore!

Hurry up and get married with Heping, your aunt is still waiting to bring up your children! "

Bai Fan evaded, "Ping'er is still in good health for the 20-year-old agreed upon!"

The red-haired girl was about to reprimand her when Zhang Zhongjian said, "I think my nephew is the most like me. He likes to be free and easy. Why don't you go to the rivers and lakes to be free and easy in the future! With your martial arts, the number one in the world will be yours sooner or later. Restraint by the imperial court?"

"Brother, you," Li Jing persuaded, disagreeing with Zhang Zhongjian's point of view.

Bai Fan laughed and said, "Third Uncle is right. My nephew really has a martial arts dream, but now he still has an unfulfilled career, so he has no time to enjoy himself in the world. Let's wait until the future! I am really unwilling to retire to the mountains and forests after failing to make a career! "

"Okay, it's a good thing for a child to have his own ideas, so let's stop trying to persuade him, it's not like we don't know his temperament!

Remember, Fan'er, you must never cause trouble again in the future, you will soon be an adult with a family and a job, and you can't do anything recklessly!

Ping'er is still waiting for you in the backyard, go and see her, she has been exhausted these days, you seem to be enjoying a blessing in prison, but she is so tired that she is really suffering in prison! "

After Bai Fan heard this, he immediately became worried, bid farewell to the elders, and ran towards the backyard quickly!

In the backyard, Li Wanping was washing Bai Fan's clothes with her own hands, she looked like a model of a good wife!

Bai Fan hurried to catch up, grabbed the clothes and threw them aside, pulled Li Wanping to sit down at the stone table in the yard, Bai Fan said distressedly, "You are weak, how can you do these jobs? Didn't Xiao Lan do them all in the past?" ?”
