What the???

Li Er said that he wanted to give the Feng family the title of king, this news shocked everyone at once, it is a rule not to be crowned king with a different surname, does Datang want to break this rule?

"Your Majesty, you can't, since ancient times, different surnames have not been crowned kings, but for the sake of the rules passed down for the stability of the dynasty, how can the Tang Dynasty set this precedent?" An old minister stepped forward to admonish.

Many courtiers came up to advise, and Li Er was not the slightest dissatisfied, after all, the matter of being crowned king with a different surname was very important, and no one objected to it, which meant that there was a problem.

"Is it the work of Mingjun to not be rewarded?

The Feng family does not avoid life and death to retrieve the immortal food and benefit the people of the world, how great is this merit? I thought that it was bigger than the troubled times of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and I felt that a one-word prince was light, but Feng Gong was righteous, only for the well-being of the people, not for personal honor and disgrace.

At the beginning of the shipbuilding, the Emperor Taishang had promised Feng Gong, and this matter was successful, and Feng was crowned as the king side by side, and was admired by all the people.

Of course, this is one of them, the most important thing is the great merit of the Feng family, and the title of king is the expression of the imperial court. ”

"However, as soon as the case of a king with a different surname is opened, I am afraid that it will leave a disaster for future generations!" Fang Xuanling said worriedly.

Li Er laughed: "Zhuqing, everyone has seen the standard of Feng's kingship, it is a great merit for the benefit of thousands of generations, and the merit is immeasurable."

I hereby promise that if anyone has this immeasurable merit in the future, Datang will not mind adding another prince with a different surname, and those who come will not refuse to do more and more, only by rewarding and punishing the old and dilapidated, Datang can far surpass its predecessors.

You must follow the example of Feng An, the king of Yue, and sacrifice your life and death to benefit all people.

To be able to have such a brother with a different surname, I can't ask for it, Datang, I can't ask for it! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the officials bowed in unison.

All that has been said and done, who can refute it? If calculated according to the size of the merit, the matter of immortal grain does exceed the merit of the founding of the Tang Dynasty Anbang, but you can't give up the throne to the Feng family, so it's not too much.

In fact, hundreds of officials also have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, especially those with high official positions, many people are already extremely powerful ministers of the government and the opposition, and the rule of not being crowned king with different surnames restricts the ambitions of many people.

The most important thing is that this throne can be hereditary, and it can be said that it has surpassed the status of the Tang Dynasty royal family, after all, the royal family is not hereditary, and every emperor will crown his own brother as a one-word prince, that is to say, like Li Jiancheng, the king of Jin cannot be passed on to his son in the future.

At this time, Lao Li Yuan stood up and said: "The smooth return of the immortal grain this time is not only the great merit of the Feng family, the first merit should be Lantian Hou Bai Fan, after all, he proposed the immortal grain overseas, he commanded the shipbuilding, and the nautical chart was provided by him, Feng Ang was crowned the king, so Bai Fan's first merit, I think, should also be given to the prince to show his praise." ”

Hiss......

The civil and military officials all took a breath and looked up at the Emperor Li Yuan, but the old Li Yuan was really as deep as the sea, and what he thought in his heart was not something that could be seen through casually, so many people quickly lowered their heads slowly, not daring to say more.

Li Er didn't expect that his father suddenly played this hand, which was a little inexplicable, but after a little thought, he was relieved, what his father said was on the one hand, and on the other hand, Bai Fan had repeatedly made great contributions, a marquis was no longer suitable, and he had long wanted to crown him as the prince of the country, but he was young at his age.

Later, Bai Fan became famous and became the uncrowned king, a name no longer matters, and at this time, his father Li Yuan took this opportunity to propose, it can be said that he is scheming, first, to show Bai Fan in the homeopathic glory, and secondly, there is also the intention of wooing, after all, Bai Fan alone is related to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, and the current situation is that the royal Li family can't offend him, so they can only try to win him over.

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

So after thinking about it, Li Er agreed, and he was thinking about Bai Fan in his heart.

No one spoke at this time, neither agreed nor objected, all because of Bai Fan.

There are those who support Bai Fan to be the king in their hearts, such as Lao Li Jing, his nephew can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, a word side by side king, and he can also be hereditary, this life is the ultimate of human ministers, his brother Bai Da can also smile Jiuquan, and the Bai family will be rich and worry-free from now on!

There are also those who don't support it in their hearts, but no one dares to stand up, because Bai Fan is the uncrowned king, who dares to stand up for this matter, is to openly judge the wealth of others, even the black-faced Wei Zheng does not dare, after all, the king is a matter of thousands of years for future generations, which is different from the etiquette of clothes and hats.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!"

This voice broke the temporary calm in the hall, and everyone looked back, it turned out to be Lantian Hou himself, who had collapsed next to the pillar before, dressed in pajamas, which made everyone puzzled, a good thing for the king, who is not looking forward to it, are you stupid or what? No?

"Jane, why are you doing that? I have clear rewards and punishments, what's wrong? You were born and died for the Tang Dynasty, built academies to educate the people, and cultivated countless talents for the country, and a marquis of such merits is no longer worthy of you.

I know that you are indifferent to fame and fortune, and you don't even want an official position, but if you don't reward the merits of immortal food and education, how can you convince the public? Li Er opened his mouth to persuade.

Bai Fan waved his hand and said: "Anyone who is dedicated to the country is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune, as long as the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and the people are not short of food and clothing."

Although a prince is nothing, but you all know that you are not used to being praised by others, Lantian Marquis is very good, every day walking on the street, the neighbors will cordially call the Hou Ye to greet me, if you want to call me brother, boy, if Your Majesty gives a prince? I guess the people are keeping away from me, so it's not appropriate.

I also hope that Your Majesty will be gracious and let go of your subordinates, a Lantian Marquis is enough, if it is not for a nobleman to go out and bluff foreign countries, the ministers even feel that this Lantian Marquis is redundant. ”

……

"Boy, isn't it more bluffing to give you a king name?" Li Jiancheng was puzzled.

"Father-in-law said that there are still a group of foreign envoys in the prison, if you don't believe it, go and ask, they are afraid that you will be more King Jin, or will they be afraid that I, the Marquis of Lantian, will be more."

You......

Li Jiancheng was teased by his son-in-law, and he was helpless, so he laughed and scolded and ignored it.

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

"Really, the Bai family is a small family, a marquis is enough to support the family, what is a hereditary prince? First, I have four sons, and one title is not enough, and second, if anyone inherits the title and becomes a son of a gentleman in the future, wouldn't it be a disaster?

So Your Majesty don't insist anymore, it's just a name, even if there is no such king, the minister believes that no one will despise him when he goes all over the world. Bai Fan explained sincerely.

Hearing his explanation, everyone nodded secretly, Li Er also praised in his heart, his evaluation of Bai Fan was one level higher, there were really not many people who could keep their minds clear in front of the huge temptation.

"That's fine, let's discuss this matter later."

"Your Majesty, if there is something in the minister's family, can you retire first?" Bai Fan asked.

This sudden sentence made Li Er puzzled, could it be that a sentence of sealing the king scared you? No, this court meeting has just begun, and there are things to assign, how can you go? I was about to ask why, but at this time, Fang Xuanling laughed and said, "Jian Zhi, you don't want to run away and repay the debt, you have to pay us for the previous gambling contract, how can you just leave?" ”
