In fact, all officials also have their own petty secrets in their hearts, especially those with high official positions. Many people are already powerful and powerful ministers. People's hearts also came alive. With this standard for becoming a king, although it is extremely difficult, it is also an opportunity.

The most important thing is that this throne can be hereditary. It can be said that it has surpassed the status of the Tang royal family as a king. After all, the royal family is not hereditary. , King Jin like Li Jiancheng cannot be passed on to his son in the future.

At this time, old Li Yuan stood up and said: "The smooth return of the fairy food to the country this time is actually not only the Feng family's great contribution, the first contribution should be Lantian Hou Baifan. After all, he proposed the overseas fairy food, and he directed the shipbuilding. The picture was provided by him, Feng An was crowned king, so Bai Fan's first contribution, I think, should also be rewarded to Wang Jue."

hiss……

The civil and military officials all took a breath, and looked up at the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, but the old Li Yuan was really as deep as the sea, and what he thought in his heart could not be easily seen through, so many people quickly and slowly lowered their heads. No more words.

Li Er didn't expect that his father's sudden play was a bit inexplicable, but he was relieved after thinking about it for a while. What his father said was reasonable on the one hand, and on the other hand, Bai Fan had repeatedly made great achievements. It is no longer suitable, and I have long wanted to make him the Duke of the state, but because he is young.

Later, Bai Fan became famous and became the uncrowned king. A name doesn't matter anymore. But at this time, his father Li Yuan took this opportunity to propose, which can be said to be scheming. One person is related to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. The current situation is that the Li family of the royal family can't offend him, so they can only try to win him over.

Back then, he married a girl, but now Bai Fan has four children, and the Bai family has a large family, and a title can be passed on to future generations, which is also a wooing.

So after he figured it out, Li Er agreed, and he was thinking of calling Bai Fan the king in his heart.

At this time, none of the civil and military officials spoke, neither agreed nor objected, all because of Bai Fan.

In my heart, I support Bai Fan as the king. For example, old Li Jing, my nephew can be regarded as the ancestor of the Guangzong Yaozu. He can stand side by side with the king, and he can be hereditary. Now, the Bai family will be rich and worry-free from now on!

There are those who do not support it in their hearts, but no one dares to stand up, because Bai Fan is the uncrowned king, whoever dares to stand up for this matter will openly judge his family's wealth, even the black-faced Wei Zheng dare not, after all, the king is a legacy of thousands of years Things that are different from dressing etiquette.

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, I think it's inappropriate!"

This voice broke the short-term calm in the hall. Everyone looked back, and it turned out that it was Lan Tianhou himself, who had collapsed beside the pillar and was in pajamas. This made everyone puzzled. Stupid or what?don't want?

"In short, why are you doing this? I have clear rewards and punishments, what's wrong with you? You lived and died for the Tang Dynasty, built academies to educate the people, and cultivated countless talents for the country. A Marquis would not be worthy of you for such merits.

I know that you are indifferent to fame and wealth, and don't even want an official position, but if you don't reward the merits of immortal food and enlightenment, how can you convince the public? "Li Er persuaded.

Bai Fan waved his hand and said: "Anyone who is dedicated to the country is not someone who is greedy for fame and fortune, as long as the Tang Dynasty prospers and the people have enough food and clothing.

Although a prince is nothing, you all know that I am not used to being praised by others. The Marquis of Lantian is very good. Every day when I walk on the street, the neighbors and folks will call me the Marquis kindly to greet me. If you are good, call me brother, boy , if His Majesty gives a prince?It is estimated that the common people are keeping a respectful distance from me, so this matter is inappropriate.

I also hope that Your Majesty will be merciful and let the ministers go, a Marquis of Lantian is enough, if it is not to use the name of a nobleman to go out to bluff foreign countries, even the Marquis of Lantian would feel redundant. "

……

"Boy, wouldn't it be more bluffing to give you a king title if you go out?" Li Jiancheng asked puzzled.

"Father-in-law is talking nonsense. There are still a group of foreign envoys in the prison. If you don't believe me, you can ask them. They are afraid that you will be more Jinwang, or that I, the Marquis of Lantian, will be more afraid."

you……

Li Jiancheng was helpless when he was teased by his son-in-law, so he just laughed and cursed and ignored him.

"Boy, do you really want it? You must know that the throne can be hereditary, so don't miss this opportunity!" Li Er asked.

"Really, the Bai family has a small family, a marquis is enough to support the family, what is a hereditary king? First, I have four sons, and one title is not enough. Second, if someone inherits the title in the future and becomes a dude Not a scourge?

So don't insist on it, Your Majesty, it's just a name, even if there is no such prince, I believe that no one will underestimate you when you travel all over the world. "Bai Fan explained sincerely.

Hearing his explanation, everyone nodded secretly, and Li Er also praised in his heart, and his evaluation of Bai Fan was higher. There are really not many people who can keep their hearts clear in the face of huge temptations.

"Well, let's discuss this matter later."

"Your Majesty, I have something to do at home, can I take my leave first?" Bai Fan asked.

This sudden sentence made Li Er puzzled. Could it be that the sentence of being the king scares you?No way, this pilgrimage has just begun, and there are things to assign, how can you leave?Just about to ask why, at this time Fang Xuanling laughed loudly and said: "Jane, you don't want to run away and renege on your debt, do you? You have to pay us for the previous bet, how can you just walk away?"

Chapter 5 and Five

Fang Xuanling's words immediately reminded all the officials present, and many people booed after him. It is not the style of the richest man in the world to leave after losing.

Bai Fan groaned in his heart, and forced himself to argue: "How is it possible, how can a man stand in the world without integrity?

However, our bet clearly stated that the bet is whether the news is worth coming in pajamas. In my opinion, it is just a little food, and it is a small problem. I have lost my composure.

The minister went back to change his clothes, and came back after changing clothes. "

... Everyone didn't expect that at this time, this guy can still make such a sophistry?

Changsun Wuji laughed and said: "In short, whether it is worth it is not up to you alone, it needs to be recognized by everyone. Your Majesty said that Feng's Immortal Food has made great achievements through the ages.

Besides, you can't quibble here. Looking back at Old Wei, he firmly thinks it's not worth it. Now?I've already taken off my clothes and I'm with you, so I turned my back on the spot, doesn't it just prove that this news is worth coming in your pajamas? "

Bai Fan turned his head and looked at Wei Zheng, who was almost gone, and cursed in his heart, Old Wei, old Wei, I paid you to be a babysitter, not to stab you in the back, you are really the best teammate to cheat.

Wei Zheng rubbed his nose and tried to persuade him, "Jane, I'm willing to admit defeat. Old Wei, I can't think of anything more important than being able to feed and clothe all the people in the world."

Yu Chigong also persuaded: "Yes, Brother Jian Zhi, everyone thinks it's worth it, and His Majesty also thinks it's worth it, won't you be exonerated in this way?

Do you really want to be punished for the crime of disrespect in court? "

Looking at the serious black face in front of him, Bai Fan felt for the first time that the IQ of this black guy had greatly improved. He had grown from being a single muscle back then to being blocked at both ends now. No matter how much you have been, you are not a good person, my dear brother, I want to be quiet.

Li Er saw that everyone was begging for money around Bai Fan, and he knew why Bai Fan was in pain after a rough calculation, and said with a smile: "Okay, Zhu Qing, don't be around Jian Zhi anymore, he is the richest man in the country , I won't miss you a little money.

In short, you don’t have to worry about this point. Immortal food returns to the country to celebrate together. This bet is just to add to the fun. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. Just treat it as the happy money you gave to everyone to celebrate the great joy. It’s rare to be full of civil and military With such a gathering, if you want to sell favors to these lovers on weekdays, it is not easy.

You, a big man who can even buy Gaochang Kingdom, care about this? "

I……

Seeing Li Er nailing himself to the wall with one sentence, Bai Fan opened his mouth a few times, he didn't know what to say, the debt could not be repaid, and it would be good to lose his favor and reputation.

"Everyone, the Immortal Grain has arrived in Lingnan, and it will be spring time soon, so we need to send people to welcome the Immortal Grain immediately to catch up with the spring breeding. This matter is of great importance, and there must be no mistakes or carelessness." Li Erlang said.

Yu Chigong stepped forward and said: "The final general is willing to lead a large army and rush to the south of Lingnan to escort the immortal food to Chang'an."

All the generals bowed down and asked for a fight.

Li Er's eyes swept over these ministers and generals, as if he was selecting candidates one by one.

"It's a long way to Lingnan, and it's very difficult and dangerous. We need to guard against bandits and barbarians from all over the world. Now that the news has spread, this escort mission is extremely difficult.

In my opinion, with Hou Junji as the commander and Bai Fan as the deputy commander and commander, we will lead an army of [-] left guards to go south to escort the immortal food, and at the same time, [-] Xuanjia troops will go together.

Two generals, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, were sent to accompany them. Although they are escorted by the country this time, you need to be careful as it is a big battle, and you must not make any mistakes.

The loss of fairy food is the loss of the people and the country. If the fairy food is stolen by thieves, it is not only a loss, but I am afraid it will be a disaster for our Tang Dynasty in the future. "

"The last general waits to obey orders, and protects the immortal food in ten thousand deaths."

Yu Chigong was a little anxious, he sent a vanguard army to fight, and sent a little monkey to escort him, what about himself?

Li Er looked at Yu Chigong who was blushing, and laughed loudly: "Jingde stayed here to guard the defense of the imperial city, not deliberately ignoring you, but we have more important things to do when we stay here. You can't.
