Yang Fan was indifferent to His Majesty Li Er's sensational speech, which made His Majesty Li Er's mouth twitch.

This kid is so annoying that he doesn't even express his words when it comes to this.

If other ministers had heard of such "chicken soup", they would have jumped up to express their sincerity.

However, it was precisely because of Yang Fan's special case that His Majesty Li Er's determination was even more determined.

Only a guy like Yang Fan who is not tempted will not be bribed by others, and His Majesty Li Er is relieved to hand over such an important department to him.

Obviously, His Majesty Li Er had already anticipated this result, and just let out a sigh of relief and continued with a calm expression:

"Oh, it's a pity. I know you don't want to be the head of this department because you feel you are under too much control."

"Since you don't want to, I won't make things difficult for you. Although it's difficult to find a candidate, there are still some. It seems that only Duke Chen, Hou Junji, can be held responsible for this matter!"

Hearing this, Yang Fan no longer dared to remain silent.

This move is simply a way to get rid of the firewood from the bottom of the pot, it is really ruthless.

If Hou Junji was asked to take charge of the manufacturing of firearms, wouldn't that guy have to make hundreds of pistols to assassinate him?

The possibility of even throwing the sky-blasting thunder into my bed...

If this is true, I will never have a safe life from now on!

Thinking of this, Yang Fan quickly raised his chest and said firmly: "Just just now, I was moved by Your Majesty's trust, so I forgot to reply, please forgive me."

"After your Majesty's guidance, I have completely realized my mistakes and know that it is not important to only care about my own freedom and freedom, and not take the affairs of the country and the world to heart."

"Your Majesty's words are like lifting a pot of initiation, which makes me suddenly awaken to the point where I know that life is like a person who only knows pleasure but does not do things, wouldn't he become a rice worm?"

"Don't worry, your Majesty, and I'll hand over this mission to me. I promise that I will devote myself to my entire life until I die."

"After taking office, I will surely create the most powerful firearm, arm our Tang Dynasty soldiers to their teeth, and make those strange guys tremble under the mighty army of the Tang Dynasty."

Although he said it beautifully, Yang Fan felt frustrated.

In the future, I faced the surveillance of His Majesty Li Er all day long, and life was really hard.

But I can only respond first, it is better than giving it to that guy Hou Junji.

You should know that Hou Junji was impeached and dismissed from office by himself. Now he wants to eat his own meat and drink his own blood.

How dare Yang Fan let him control such a powerful tool easily?

His Majesty Li Er's trick was too high, which forced Yang Fan to jump into the pit himself.

Seeing Yang Fan's look as if he was dead, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but feel angry and amused, and cursed: "It's okay to devote all your efforts, but who wants you to die?"

"Don't worry, even if you use all your abilities, as long as you do it well, I will not treat you badly!"

"I will not restrict your freedom. As long as all the craftsmen are familiar with the manufacturing process, I will not force you to go or stay."

"In addition, in order to relieve your pressure, I have sent King Li Zhi of Jin to help you manage this firearm shop."

"Don't look at him as young as he is quite smart. As long as you teach him more, you will definitely help you a lot."

"Now, the firearm workshop will take some time to be completed, so you can rest for a while. As for King Li Zhi of Jin, let him study by your side first! I will let him come tomorrow."

"Abide by the order!" Hearing this, Yang Fan quickly agreed, but he secretly despised him.

The emperor is indeed the emperor. Although he trusts himself very much, he sends his son to monitor him in a blink of an eye. Who is this?

However, he couldn't guess what His Majesty Li Er wanted to play.

Such an important department did not allow Prince Li Chengqian, the legitimate heir to come to participate.

Instead, let the youngest son Li Zhi come. Why is this?

Isn’t His Majesty Li Er afraid that his sons will perform a scene of killing his brother?

Although His Majesty Li Er is absolutely capable, his level of cultivating successors is really not very good.

Because the successor trained by wolf sex education is bloody, it is not necessarily a qualified emperor.

No wonder none of the many princes ended up well.

Of course, Yang Fan didn't dare to say these words because he was afraid that His Majesty Li Er would send someone to kill him.

After the serious matter was said, His Majesty Li Er squinted his eyes and shook on the rocking chair, humming comfortably, obviously in a good mood.

But Yang Fan was plotted by Li Er for no reason, and he was extremely unhappy and said nothing.

Princess Gao Yang on the side was a little confused. The two of them were still sitting here. Will they still go to Junyangfang?

Fortunately, Yang Fan said to Xing'er who was waiting outside: "You should take His Highness the Princess to meet Mei Niang and the others first, I will come later..."

"Your Highness, why don't you ask me to go down first?" Xing'er asked respectfully.

After more than a year of going there, Xing'er had already grown into a graceful and beautiful girl.

After Wu Meiniang's deliberate training, this little girl was very eye-catching and immediately asked for instructions with great sincerity, Princess Gaoyang was the future mistress of the Hou Mansion.

Seeing his father compete with his future husband, Princess Gaoyang could only shake her head helplessly, respond, and followed Xing'er away.

Suddenly, the whole yard suddenly became silent.

His Majesty Li Er ignored Yang Fan and squinted until he was stinged by the sunlight. He said lazyly: "If you have time, you can build a few such chairs for me. You need to use the best red sandalwood. Well, just do it in these few days."

Yang Fan's eyes were not open and he refused directly: "Your Majesty, I am not free. Today I am going to Junyangfang and I will stay there for several days. Besides, I don't have the best red sandalwood."

His Majesty Li Er was not angry: "There are many things in the Rosewood Department. If you ask someone to pick it up directly, it is said that it was approved by me!"

Yang Fan had to find another reason: "Didn't Your Majesty ask Weichen to be responsible for the newly built firearm yard? Making a chair is not within the scope of Weichen's responsibilities."

His Majesty Li Er snorted and said, "I am the emperor. What I say is an imperial edict. You can do whatever you say. Why do you talk so much nonsense?"

Yang Fan was speechless and suddenly realized that he was speechless!

But he was unwilling to be instructed by His Majesty Li Er to do work, so he said: "Is it a bit too extravagant to use top-quality red sandalwood to make such a chair? Isn't Your Majesty afraid of being impeached by the Censor?"

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand indifferently and said, "With that old man Wei Zheng rarely causes trouble for me for no reason. As long as he doesn't make trouble, who am I afraid of?"

"Besides, Du Feng has just been dismissed from office, so the censors from those aristocratic families dare not talk too much..."

Looking at the proud His Majesty Li Er, Yang Fan preached like an elder: "Your Majesty, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The king is an example in the world. He should be diligent and thrifty in the family and be strict with himself."

"Rosewood is extremely precious. His Majesty is a bit inappropriate to enjoy such extravagance and waste, right?"

"How can I be a righteous minister be willing to be a flattering minister or even accomplice the tiger? Your Majesty is so extravagant that I cannot ask the Censorate to make suggestions to the Censorate to report what Your Majesty is doing today."

Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er was furious. The teacup in his hand threw an arc and smashed it towards Yang Fan: "Let you be responsible for making firearms is a trust in you and a cultivation of you. As for such a petty and a petty scruple?"

With agile dodging, the teacup fell to the ground with a bang and broke.

He looked at the best tea set with distress, and Yang Fan said without giving in: "I am petty? I just solved the problem of plowing oxen, but Your Majesty plotted against me as a hero. Does Your Majesty have any reason?"

"What do you want? Do you still want me to give you a gift?" His Majesty Li Er smiled angrily.

Yang Fan smiled and said with a shy face: "I don't want to be promoted either. In order to appease the wounded heart of Wei, Your Majesty will raise our title again. How about it?"

His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

This kid is now a founding marquis. If he is promoted, wouldn’t he become a duke?

Looking at Yang Fan, who didn't want to be an official but only wanted a title, His Majesty Li Er laughed and scolded: "You have just been promoted to the title not long ago, and you want a duke now? It's simply no way!"

"Do you know, all the dukes in the court have climbed out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. They have the ability to dominate the world, and can you compare?"

"If you suffer a little grievance, you want a duke. Why don't you rob it?"

Yang Fan said dissatisfiedly: "Although those dukes helped His Majesty expand territory, the empress also built a large territory for the Tang Dynasty."

"What's more, I'm not sure, I proposed that the imperial examination reform help His Majesty gain talents from all over the world and establish a chamber of commerce, providing His Majesty with abundant funds. How can you not get a duke with such great achievements?"

"Besides, hasn't Your Majesty heard that it is easy to win the world, but it is difficult to defend the world?"

His Majesty Li Er stared at Yang Fan for a long time, but he didn't know what the kid Yang Fan had wrong, but he suddenly wanted to be promoted.

After thinking about it, he still let go: "It is undeniable that you have made great contributions and have made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but the imperial court has fulfilled all these contributions."

"Although you think my reward may be a little small, don't you hear the reason why haste is not achieved?"

After a pause, His Majesty Li Er seemed to have thought of something and continued, "It is not impossible to let me give you a duke. As long as you have great achievements, what's wrong with me giving it to you?"

"Otherwise, even if I give you a duke, no one will convince you, and it will not be good for you."

Yang Fan pondered for a while: "Your Majesty is the truth?"

Yang Fan also knew in his heart that His Majesty Li Er was right.

If calculated based on the merits, although the imperial court's rewards were a little too small in the past, it was given after all.

If he had no other contributions now, His Majesty Li Er suddenly promoted his title, he would indeed be a little lack of confidence and would not be able to convince the public.

Because of the aristocratic families, nobles will never let them go.

After all, in the eyes of these people, it was difficult to get their official positions down, and now that they have brought back a duke in one go, the aristocratic family will definitely not allow it.

For thousands of years, aristocratic families and families enjoyed the life of bells and dining, and enjoyed the status of admiration of thousands of people. How could Yang Fan allow him to rise up in just one or two years and be on par with them?

More importantly, Yang Fan always goes against them...

Of course, Yang Fan wanted to be promoted to the Duke not for a moment, but was thoughtful after careful consideration.
To be continued...
