But he knew that all this was brought about by the young man in front of him.

After a long while, Li Er gently closed the memorial, took a slow breath, nodded and praised: "Whether it is the summary of this expedition, or the opinions about the exclusive doctor and guards, they are all amazing."

"The description of the fire flint gun and the thunderous thunder also completely subverted my previous combat thinking. It is really refreshing."

"What's more important is that my worthy son-in-law did not keep it secretly, but dedicated the manufacturing methods of two national weapons to the imperial court. I am very pleased."

When these words came out, Yang Fan was really flattered. He even secretly exclaimed that he was lucky and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

As an emperor, he can be said to be a loner. Even if he is close to someone, he will deliberately keep a certain distance.

And now he actually calls Yang Fan a good son-in-law because he has obtained the manufacturing method of the flint gun and the thunderous thunder, which shows that he has long coveted these two sharp weapons.

Fortunately, he showed me the manufacturing methods of these two things as soon as he met me.

Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to be cared about by an emperor.

However, His Majesty Li Er was able to say these words and deliberately expressed his closeness, so he must have valued Yang Fan very much in his heart.

Hearing the praise, although he was a little proud in his heart, Yang Fan had to be more modest: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. Being loyal to the empire and performing duties for the court is what a humble minister should do."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled, slowly leaned back on the dragon chair, and said: "It is a good thing for young people to be modest, but there is no need to belittle oneself."

"From ancient times to the present, there have been countless talented and beautiful people, but not all of them can grow into pillars of the country."

"There is not necessarily a factor of luck in this, but more importantly, many people feel frustrated and frustrated when they encounter setbacks and unfair treatment. Then they become depressed and then drift with the crowd, disappearing from the crowd."

"Therefore, a good son-in-law should not be depressed because his achievements are not rewarded, nor should he be proud because he has achieved his ambition. Only by settling down and waiting for an opportunity to soar into the sky, this is what a wise man does!"

As a generation of emperors, how could His Majesty Li Er teach such earnestly to a junior?

Even Prince Li Chengqian did not get such an opportunity.

Therefore, the old eunuch Wang Huangui standing nearby was almost shocked.

Although Yang Fan was a little flattered, he still said gloomily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your teachings."

Generally speaking, when a superior praises a subordinate lavishly, even affectionately.

In addition to being very optimistic about this person, it also means that this person's rewards have been reduced or eliminated.

His Majesty Li Er's words of encouragement are both instruction and comfort.

Seeing Yang Fan's appearance, His Majesty Li Er's handsome face broke into a smile. Although his words just now contained an element of comfort, he was indeed moved.

Otherwise, as an emperor, he would not be able to say such words to a junior so easily, so he waved his hand and cursed with a smile:

"Okay, I will remember all your achievements for you. Who can show you the sad face? People who don't know would think how wronged you have been."

"It's also for your own good that I don't give you a promotion. Many people are watching you. If you get too many rewards at once, it will harm you."

"However, it doesn't make sense to receive no reward at all for such merit. Let's do this. I grant you permission to erect twelve halberds in front of your house."

"In addition, seeing that you love your concubines as much as you want, and are very romantic, and that you have several beauties in your house before your first wife has even entered the house, I will grant you three more titles as a concubine to show your merits."

Upon hearing His Majesty Li Er's reward, Yang Fan smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

According to the ancient etiquette system, those with an official rank, rank, or honors of three or more grades were allowed to erect a halberd in front of the gate of the residence.

Feng Jian's "Xushi Shi·Li Ji" records: "The opening ceremony of setting up halberds: Twenty-four halberds are given to the Taimiao, shrines and palaces, sixteen halberds for each grade, fourteen to ten halberds for the prince and below... The halberd system began in the dynasty.

also."

A person like Yang Fan, who started as a third-rank official and set up the Twelve Halberds, is certainly unprecedented, not to mention unprecedented.

What's more, His Majesty Li Er also granted three places for Gaoming's wives. His Majesty the Emperor really treated Gaoming's wives as cabbages and gave them to Yang Fan.

But there is nothing we can do about it. Yang Fan's contribution is too great. If all of them are real seals, His Majesty Li Er really doesn't know what kind of reward he will get.

In the opinion of His Majesty Li Er, it is most appropriate for these false names to be used for rewards.

Although he knew that these were all false claims, Yang Fan was happy.

Standing a halberd in front of the door was a symbol of status. In the early Tang Dynasty, not everyone was qualified to stand in front of the door.

Moreover, Yang Fan also knew that at his age, it would be impossible for him to advance further in his official position in a short time.

Now that he has fulfilled the promise he made to Wu Meiniang in this way, it can be regarded as an explanation.

Looking at the cheerful Yang Fan, His Majesty Li Er narrowed his eyes and laughed, not knowing whether it was because of tiredness or something else.

Although he was still in a state of excitement, His Majesty Li Er seemed a little tired. He waved his hand and said to Yang Fan:

"Soldiers who go on an expedition cannot return home without reporting. After a while, you will go to the Ministry of War to register, hand in the order, and declare the time. Then you will return to the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion with the official who announced the order. This will also be considered as the etiquette for soldiers returning to court."

"In addition, you and Li Junxian should investigate the ambush case as soon as possible after tomorrow, and then quickly devote your energy to the reform of the imperial examination..."

After saying that, His Majesty Li Er stood up and walked out of the back hall door without waiting for Yang Fan's answer.

promise!

Yang Fan agreed and slowly stepped back.

When I came outside the palace, the roof was covered with snow. I rubbed my hairy hands and looked at the bright sun. At this time, the sun penetrated the thick clouds and looked shining brightly.
