Chapter 297 Does this old guy have something to say?
"That's fine! You go and give the order now. Just say that I haven't seen him for a long time and I miss him a little."
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
Wang Chengen hurriedly went out to deliver orders. When Lin Fan learned that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see him, he was confused. He hadn't done anything important recently. Did this guy really miss him?
"Your Majesty, why are you looking for me?
You might as well tell me first, I will see you then, and I still have a precaution."
Lin Fan said.
"Oh! Your Majesty, your Majesty, when you see your Majesty in the future, you should call him "Father" as an honorific. The last time you called His Majesty "Father" in front of the civil and military officials of the court, His Majesty was very happy for a long time."
Wang Chengen said hurriedly.
"Oh! Eunuch Wang, I didn't expect you to be so verbose. I know this, so I'd better tell you why he asked me to go."
Lin Fan said.
"This... Your Highness, you should ask after you see His Majesty."
Wang Chengen said.
Then, he took Lin Fan to the Qianqing Palace. When Emperor Chongzhen saw Lin Fan, his previous displeasure was instantly wiped away. He wanted to scold Lin Fan, but he withdrew his thoughts.
"Haha! Fan'er, I heard that you sold the farmhouse you opened. Isn't this farmhouse a very profitable business?
Why not keep it?"
"When you ascend the throne in the future, the money earned from this farmhouse can also be used as your internal treasury money. If there is an urgent need, you can use it for emergencies."
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile.
After hearing this, Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Reporting to my father, the popularity of this farmhouse will only last for this year. When chili peppers become popular, everyone in the world can open a farmhouse!"
"Furthermore, as the saying goes, officials should not compete with the people for profit. As a prince, I cannot compete with the people for profit, so I naturally have to let him go."
After saying that, Lin Fan complained in his heart: "Haha! You don't really think I'm so stupid, do you? How could I let such a profitable business as a farmhouse go?"
"The father and son of the Zhao family are the heirs of the living family of hundreds of families. I have taken them as my subordinates. Who can enjoy this farmhouse? Isn't it just as profitable?"
"The money I earn can be used at any time if I want to. Moreover, I have gained the support of hundreds of scholars for no reason, so why not?"
…
Emperor Chongzhen gave Lin Fan a big roll of his eyes. What this boy said was righteous and upright, but what he did behind the scenes was unpredictable!
It seems that I still underestimated him. I didn't expect that he would take the opportunity to conquer the living faction, although this faction can be said to be the weakest among all the schools of thought.
However, Lin Fan also accepted the heirs of the farm family as his disciples. In this way, Lin Fan had the support of two families with hundreds of schools of thought.
Of course, those great scholars from the Hanlin Academy were also accepted as disciples by Lin Fan. If they were included, Lin Fan's current power would be the largest in the court.
"Ahem! It's great that you have such an idea. I fully support it."
Emperor Chongzhen coughed twice and said.
Lin Fan looked at Emperor Chongzhen's embarrassed look and thought to himself: "Damn it! Does this old guy have something to say but is embarrassed to say it?"
"Could it be that he wants to ask about Heshuote?
I have indeed married Nalan Yanran, Princess Heshuote, but this does not mean that Heshuote is the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
"However, Heshuote must be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This old boy won't wait to do it himself. He won't have Watt in his head!"
"After all, I am Nalan Xiongying's son-in-law. How can I use force against him directly? It must be you, the emperor, who first issued an edict to confer Nalan Xiongying as a prince, then gave him Heshuote as a fief, and then sent officials
Used to help govern it.”
"In this way, Heshuote will become the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If he refuses, he will raise the issue of troops again."
well!
Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but shake his head. Emperor Chongzhen was a good emperor, but he was too rigid to achieve great things.
wipe!
Emperor Chongzhen wanted to scold his mother now. He had no idea, yet he was actually complained about by Lin Fan. Moreover, what did this look of hating iron mean?
I am my father, you are just my son!
However, the strategy Lin Fan had in mind was indeed an excellent one. He could directly confer the title. The Nalan Eagle could only accept the conferment. If he dared to refuse, he would have a reason to send troops.
"Fan'er, I've been thinking about Heshuote these days. Do you have any suggestions?"
Emperor Chongzhen said with a deep voice.
When Lin Fan heard this, he immediately gave Emperor Chongzhen a roll of his eyes. This old boy was really thinking about He Shuote.
"Back to my father, I have already married Nalan Yanran, Princess Heshuote, and Heshuote has no objection now. I wonder what advice my father wants?"
Lin Fan asked aloud.
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment. This boy actually pretended to be confused in front of him. He said: "Fan'er, I plan to canonize Nalan Eagle as the Eagle Honorary. What do you think?"
kindness!
Lin Fan was stunned after hearing this. Emperor Chongzhen actually thought of going away from him.
Has this old boy’s IQ awakened?
When Emperor Chongzhen saw Lin Fan's shocked look, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his eyes, and thought to himself, what's wrong?
Do you feel that you and I have come together, are you shocked?
After Lin Fan was shocked, he said in a deep voice: "What my father said makes sense. Since this Nalan Eagle has become my father-in-law, he should be rewarded."
"In my opinion, how about canonizing Heshuote as his fief, and granting him two days of ten thousand hectares, servants, and ten thousand servants?"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Fan'er, your proposal is very good."
He has given so many things to Nalan Eagle. If Nalan Eagle does not accept it, people in the world will only say that Nalan Eagle does not know how to praise, and will not say that he, the emperor, is overbearing.
"Thank you very much, Father, for the compliment."
Lin Fan said.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Wang Chengen, who hurriedly went to get an imperial edict. Emperor Chongzhen wrote the edict in front of Lin Fan.
"Okay, Wang Chengen, now go to Heshuote with the imperial edict. Regardless of whether he accepts the edict or not, you will come back as soon as you deliver it."
Emperor Chongzhen said.
Wang Chengen accepted the order and left in a hurry. Emperor Chongzhen looked at Lin Fan and said: "Fan'er, this is the tea that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has just purchased from the private sector. Yuqian Longjing, you can try it."
Lin Fan looked at the teacup placed in front of him, and after just sniffing it, he realized something was wrong.
Although there is a faint fragrance of tea in this tea cup, there is also a sense of moisture. First of all, Longjing before the rain will not have such moisture.
Secondly, even Longjing tea after the rain will not have such moisture as long as it is newly picked this year.
