Datang Library

Chapter 504
What? ? ?
Li Er said that he would crown the Feng family as king. This news shocked everyone. It is a rule that people with different surnames should not be crowned king. Is Datang going to break this rule?
"Your Majesty, you can't. Since ancient times, different surnames have not been crowned kings. It is a rule passed down for the stability of the dynasty. How can the Tang Dynasty set this precedent?" An old official stepped forward to advise.

Li Er was not dissatisfied at all when many courtiers came up to persuade him. After all, it is of great importance to be crowned king with a different surname, and no objection means there is a problem.

"Is it the Ming Jun's action not to reward those who have made meritorious deeds?
The Feng family did not avoid life and death to take back the celestial food and benefit the people all over the world. How great is this merit?I thought it was bigger than the Jianguo of the Tang Dynasty in the troubled times. I feel that a word of Wangjue is light. It's just Feng Gong's high righteousness, only for the well-being of the people and not for personal honor or disgrace.

At the beginning of the shipbuilding, the Supreme Emperor had already promised Duke Feng that the matter would be accomplished, and the Feng family would be granted the title of king side by side and respected by all people.

Of course, this is one of them, the most important thing is the great achievements of the Feng family, and being crowned king is the expression of the court. "

"However, once the case of conferring a king with a different surname is established, I'm afraid it will cause disaster to future generations!" Fang Xuanling said worriedly.

Li Er laughed loudly: "Masters, everyone has seen the Feng family's criteria for being a king, it is a great achievement that has benefited thousands of people for thousands of generations, and its merits are immeasurable.

I hereby promise that if anyone has such immeasurable merits in the future, Datang will not mind adding a king with a different surname, and the more people who come, the better.

You must follow the example of King Feng An of Yue, and sacrifice your life for the benefit of all people.

To be able to have such a brother with a different surname is what I wish for, Datang, what I wish for! "

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the officials bowed and saluted.

Having said all of this, who can argue?If it is calculated according to the size of the credit, the matter of the fairy food did exceed the credit of the founding of the Tang Dynasty and Anbang, but it is impossible to give up the throne to the Feng family, so the word king is not too much.

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?"
