Chapter Eighteen

"My nephew! Is the fire in the house gone out? Why is it getting colder and colder? Go and take a look!"

"Mr. Nephew! I ordered a pot of high-quality mutton in the kitchen. You can go and see if it is ready. If it is ready, bring it over. Uncle Master invites you to a big meal!"

"Mr. nephew..."

Uncle Master...

Li Chunfeng is so miserable! How could his uncle become like this? What about the image of a master? What about the unique skills of me? It is obviously a peerless playboy!

I was crying in my heart, but I didn't dare to stop my hands and feet. As the saying goes, I took someone's hands short. Since Li Chunfeng received the five hundred taels of Bai Fan's meeting gift, he has been arrested as a strong man by Bai Fan. He does all the work of running errands!

Yuan Tiangang told his junior brother Bai Fan that it would take about six or seven days to start the salt making matters, so Bai Fan was enjoying peace and happiness in Laojun. After all, his physical fitness is too poor now. According to his senior brother, he is the time to grow up and needs to make a lot of money!

On that day, Li Chunfeng had a plan and spoke to his uncle Bai Fan, "Uncle Master, you have been here for several days. I think you are a little bored every day. Why not go to Chang'an City for a walk? There are many places to play in the city and eat and drink a lot. Unlike our Taoist temple, there is no good or bad!"

I thought in my heart that I could help myself, like an uncle, get rid of my uncle, even if it was only one day. I was so tired! I was tired!

But his wishful thinking is destined to fail!

Bai Fan smiled, a good idea!

"My nephew really knows me. Uncle Chang'an City has been acclaimed for a long time! So it's not too late, let's go now!"

What, what? We, us?

Li Chunfeng said a little slow: "This, uncle, Chang'an City is not far from here. My nephew still has to manage things in the temple, so I won't accompany you!"

Bai Fan didn't know what he was thinking and said, "How can I do that? Uncle Master is not that selfish person. Since he has good things, how can he not bring his nephew to share it with him? You have worked so hard these days, how can you not take a break? I'll go find my senior brother and ask him to have a vacation for you, and then you can take me to the bustling Chang'an City to have a good time!

You should know that Uncle Master has never been to this big place and he can’t ride a horse. He needs you to take me with him!”

A few black lines were hanging down on his head! I'm afraid this last sentence is the main reason! After spending many days together, Li Chunfeng believed that he had known this junior uncle enough, but he still didn't expect that Bai Fan would be so evil!

So with Yuan Tiangang's approval, the two of them were together, accompanied by Li Chunfeng's helpless expression, and they went straight out of Laojun Temple and headed straight for Chang'an City!

At this time, the matter of the Qin King seeking money for 15,000 yuan was also in the court!

Li Yuan pressed the turbulent ministers and said, "Yuan Ji, Shimin has already explained the incident clearly, so this matter is a misunderstanding, so don't mention it again!

As for Shimin, he spared no expense to seek talents for the country, which greatly demonstrated my desire to seek talents in the Tang Dynasty, which is very good!

I will send someone to send you the money you spend on seeking talent later, and I will also give you another thousand taels of gold to the Qin Palace as a reward!"

Li Yuanji and Li Shimin stepped forward to thank him!

"Father, my son and I think that Bai Fan is a talented person, and he presents a treasure book for elementary school. He should also reward him for his great achievements!" Li Shimin asked Bai Fan for reward.

Li Yuan nodded with a smile, "No, this guy has a great achievement, and he should be rewarded!

The purpose was to introduce Bai Fan, a scholar in Baijiagou, Sanyuan County, to present the treasure book of elementary school, "Three Character Classic", and made great contributions to the country! Bai Fan was specially appointed as a man in Sanyuan County and was rewarded with 500 mu of fertile land. Thinking of his young age, he was specially allowed to go to the Imperial College for study!"

Your Majesty is wise! All the ministers shouted in unison!

Li Yuanji was very dissatisfied with this result. When Li Jiancheng saw Li Shimin being praised by Li Yuan, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. It was just that he did not show it from Li Yuanji's impulse!

In the prince's mansion, military generals and counselors under Li Jiancheng gathered together, and King Li Yuanji of Qi was also there. The crown prince Li Jiancheng, who was in charge, said nothing, his expression was neither sad nor happy, making people unable to guess what his opinion was!

Li Yuanji said hatefully: "The father is too unfair. Li Shimin is obviously trying to win over the hearts of the people. Such obvious actions are rewarded by the father. It is really outrageous!"

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense! No matter what, that's your second brother, our brother, how can you call him the name directly? The second brother is very committed to selecting materials for the country, he..." Li Jiancheng couldn't continue to say this!

In fact, he knew better than anyone else. The two brothers had already started a fight without realizing it. If he said that Li Shimin had a lot of money to go to Laojun to observe this time, he would never believe it!

Wei Zheng, the first counselor in the next head, spoke: "Your Highness, this plan of the King of Qin is a plan to buy horse bones for a thousand gold. If this happens, no matter who this young scholar Bai Fan is loyal to in the end, the King of Qin will be able to gain the reputation of loving talents!

There are countless hermits and great wise men in the world. If anyone wants to serve the country in the future, whether they will surrender to the Qin Palace or not, the first way they think of will definitely be the Qin King!

Alas! Your Highness of Qin has the Qin Palace in Wen and the Tiance Palace in Wu. It is really a big concern for us!"

Li Jiancheng felt ache in his heart, is he a big trouble?

"If the King of Qin had no conspiracy, the subordinates would never believe it. They just don't know who planned it this time. If you buy a horse bone for a thousand dollars, it will definitely make everyone in the court and the public know it. This is a dignified open plot!

No matter what actions they take next, we cannot stop the Qin Prince's Mansion from adding good talents!”

Alas! Li Jiancheng sighed in his heart, but he didn't know it.

"Your Highness, don't worry, you have to be willing to be talented? In the eyes of the ministers, it's just a sensationalism. Even if this matter is introduced into the city, no one will believe it. Just imagine that even if the Qin Wang family has great achievements, how many tens of thousands of yuan can be used?" The person who spoke was the prince's confidant Wang Si.

Wei Zheng argued: "It is difficult to make a conclusion whether it is sensational or not. Even so, there will always be people who believe it!"

A general sang: "What's the problem? We can also spend money to recruit talents! The Qin Prince's Mansion can afford to pay tens of thousands of yuan, can't our Prince's Mansion afford to pay?"

That's it! Someone on the side began to echo!

Wei Zheng said, "Although it is more legitimate to recruit talents in the Crown Prince's Mansion, the King of Qin used his wealth to exchange for a real talent. Those who could produce a treasure book of elementary school are comparable to those of great scholars. Although we also have money, where can we find talents who can compare with Bai Fan for a while? So this plan doesn't work!

What is most worrying is not the matter of how many talented people are involved in the Qin King’s command, but the backup plan behind the King of Qin. We know nothing about it. No matter what their plans are, what is certain is that they are all targeting us! We have to be careful!"

Li Jiancheng nodded. It’s good, there are many capable people under his command, but only Wei Zheng can really see through the key points!

Just as the grand meeting of the court was gradually spread, Bai Fan and Li Chunfeng had already started a leisurely journey in Chang'an City!

Along the way, Bai Fan looked around and expressed serious curiosity about all kinds of things. He even joked in his heart that in ancient times, Liu Laolao first entered the Grand View Garden, and now I, a young scholar, traveled to Chang'an on horseback. He completely forgot that he was still being held by Li Chunfeng behind him, otherwise with his equestrian level, he would be thrown down in a few steps!

As noon approached, the two were traveling in the bustling East City, but encountered an interesting thing. Bai Fan fully demonstrated his style of watching the fun without much trouble, shouted and started his first brave action in the Tang Dynasty!
