Li Er said with some complaints: "Why is it inappropriate? Cheng Qian is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. I have inquired about it. He is also very knowledgeable in the academy and has a very deep friendship with his classmates. He has gone out with you several times to practice. To be honest. , These situations are no less than my 17-year-old father.

At this age, it's time for the prince of Datang to learn to take some responsibility. I believe that my child is a natural leader. "

Empress Changsun stretched out her hand and tugged at her husband's sleeve, as if she was trying to persuade him not to speak like that, as if she had been emphasizing the position of the crown prince, it was a bit overwhelming.

I am afraid that Bai Fan is the only person in the entire Tang Dynasty who has this kind of treatment. He is on an equal footing with the emperor and queen, and he can calm down when talking about the prince.

Li Er ignored his wife's signal and just looked directly at Bai Fan, and Bai Fan also ignored his wife Li Wanping's persuasion. Today, Empress Changsun invited Li Wanping to help her younger brother Li Chengqian out of family affection. Which of these two people is not a proud and arrogant person? In this ancient times where patriarchy is supreme, how can a woman be influenced by a few words?

Bai Fan didn't care about Li Er's emphasis on identity, but laughed out loud. After a long time, he turned to face Li Er and asked a sentence, which made Li Wanping stand up in shock.

"Not to mention whether Chengqian is a natural leader, has His Majesty already made up his mind to hand over the world to him?"

Since ancient times, the important matter of establishing a reserve cannot be discussed privately. Bai Fan asked so bluntly, which has violated the law of the Tang Dynasty.

"Second uncle, forgive me, my husband was just confused for a while..." Li Wanping apologized to Li Er excitedly.

Li Er stopped Li Wanping who was about to kneel down with a smile and said: "I said, today is a family banquet, there is no monarch and ministers, why do you do this, Ping'er?"

Empress Changsun stepped forward and pulled her niece to sit down again, signaling her to leave the matter to the two men.

"Jianzhi thinks that Chengqian is not suitable to be emperor?" Li Er asked tentatively.

Bai Fan didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "I haven't asked Cheng Qian whether he is suitable to be emperor, I'm afraid I should ask His Majesty first about this matter.

Let's put it this way, the establishment of the emperor is actually related to age. His Majesty's enthroned minister said that my father-in-law was not suitable because he was already 40 years old, and His Majesty was only 29 back then. It was just the right time.

The same is true for Chengqian. Chengqian is 17 years old this year. If His Majesty wants to be emperor for 30 years, Chengqian will be 40 years old by then. How many younger brothers are in their twenties and thirties? Which one would you choose? who?

If your majesty wants to be emperor for 40 years or more, ha ha, would you let a white-haired person take over? "

"Hehe, what's the matter? Do you think I can only live another 20 years?" Li Er avoided how long he would be in power, and instead asked about the life limit. Yes, Li Er believed this, what if he really knew?

Bai Fan didn't know how to play tricks, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, the second uncle is the Son of Heaven, and his destiny is unpredictable.

Besides, there is a beautiful example of the emperor's pearl and jade. I believe that the old man can easily live to a hundred years old. You are a son, don't you have an inheritance?

What I mean is that an emperor at the age of 60 will not have enough energy. Governance of a country is not easy. "

After Bai Fan's explanation, adding a flattery about the timing made Li Er very useful. He nodded and stopped pestering him. If a pharmacist rejuvenates like that, he will definitely be able to live until he is 70 years old.

The Empress Changsun and Li Wanping next to her were really the first to hear about the age of the throne. Only the emperor Li Er knew about Bai Fan's debate in the Xuanwu Gate incident, so today they heard that age determines the position, and the children were very surprised. Thinking about it carefully, indeed Makes sense.

Li Er sighed: "Forget it, let's not mention the future of Chengqian. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is always right for the leader Qunlun to go out and experience it. What do you say as a master?"

Li Er bypassed the issue of Li Chu, but the eldest grandson queen who was the mother cared about her eldest son, and quickly said: "Jian Zhi, you say that, what will Cheng Qian do in the future?

Your Majesty, you won't really stand up again because of this waste reserve. "

Bai Fan was a little embarrassed, and forgot that the eldest grandson of the empress was present. This is a wonderful woman through the ages, a model of a generation of virtuous queens and good mothers. In history, he taught his eldest son Li Chengqian to walk the right way several times, but because of his early death, he still did not stop his son from being punished. waste.

Seeing his wife like this, Li Er quickly said tactfully: "How could it be? Chengqian is a good boy and has always been in my heart. He is only 17 years old. I want him to practice more and improve his skills so that I can feel at ease and give up this job sooner." Don't we all agree on a burden, Guanyin's servant girl? I really envy my father's happy life."

Bai Fan secretly gave the emperor a thumbs up, if he can't persuade the queen at this time, then he will definitely be able to stage a scene of the queen's bitter remonstrance at this time.

"Second Uncle and Aunt, I understand the painstaking efforts of the two parents, but Chengqian is only 17 years old after all, too young to be convincing.

This time in the southwestern battlefield, they are competing with each other. If Chengqian can't convince the crowd and cause discord among the same sect, and Li Mingxin finds a loophole, it will not be beautiful if there is a mistake.

Zhongnan College pays attention to teaching students according to their aptitude. The best education is not the path we specify, but each child can find their own seat. What we arrange may not necessarily be right or the best.

The demeanor of the king is not something that comes from training, just like the second uncle, it is born, and the demeanor of the king cultivated the day after tomorrow is just a disguised appearance of a dandy.

Chengqian, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, if he can recognize himself, then he will naturally be able to take the position of leader. We may push the seedlings behind the scenes and encourage them. I don't agree. "

After explaining, Li Er directly gave Bai Fan a thumbs-up. Firstly, he solved the empress' endless entanglement. Second, he had already said in secret, to find out his position, that is to say whether Cheng Qian is suitable to be an emperor. If he can see clearly by himself Now, it will be much more convenient for me to waste storage and re-establish it in the future.

In fact, this also shows that Li Er doesn't want to be the emperor for another 20 years. After becoming the emperor, who wants to hand over the power early?

At the same time, Empress Changsun also understood that subtle influence seems to be more effective than dogmatic words and deeds. At least she has educated her son until she was ten years old. It is not as gratifying as her son's growth in Zhongnan Academy for seven years.

The host and guests had a good time at a family banquet, and Bai Fan also learned about the current situation from Li Wanping. Hong Dali had already been reprimanded by Hong Qianli. Why should such a big event be publicized? The brothers will get it done soon?

The current situation is that the third sister of the Bai family is desperate and needs someone to enlighten her. Zhongnan Academy has already gathered people and horses, and the dean is sent to come back and nod to leave the mountain.

Bai Fan really couldn't persuade the people so much. The first dissuasion was already forcibly partial. Now that he voluntarily abandons his teacher, if he still favors, it will really be unfair to the students, and it is not advisable.

So Bai Fan went back to the academy to give encouragement, and stopped dissuading him. He set a few rules and appointed the adult disciples of the academy.

8 Chapter Thirty

The Lantian Hou Mansion in Chang'an was already in chaos because of the news brought back by Hong Dali.

The third sister of the Bai family fell in love with Li Mingxin, not to mention she was desperate, she was also infatuated. When she saw the token brought back by her eldest brother, she vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Psychological wounds are hard to heal.

From then on, the third younger sister of the Bai family became taciturn, pale and sickly, and her spirits were extremely bad. When others asked how Li Mingxin was, the third younger sister Bai shook her head and said she had forgotten it, but anyone could tell that it was only because of her. He once promised his elder brother Bai Fan that if Li Mingxin broke up with her, she would not be allowed to entangle her, but can it really be done?

When Bai Fan came to the backyard, in the boudoir, instead of the original fragrances, there was a mixed smell of medicine.

"Third Sister, come, let me take your pulse for brother."

Bai Sanmei raised her head and glanced at her elder brother, her dull eyes seemed to be a little brighter, but she quickly lowered her head again.

Shaking his head, he said to Bai Fan: "Brother Lao, don't worry, little sister is fine."

Seeing this, Bai Fan was not surprised, not only did he not step forward to comfort him, but he laughed instead, "Haha, it's fine, don't worry, third sister, Li Mingxin dares to betray your feelings, brother will definitely not make it easy for him.

I have already sent seven of your elder brothers, and this time I will definitely take that guy's head. "

Bai Sanmei stood up abruptly, kicked back three steps excitedly, then rushed to Bai Fan's side, hugged Bai Fan's thigh, and cried, "No, no, don't kill him, my little sister begs you!" You, don't kill him."

"Why???

He is ungrateful to you, if you don't kill him, how can you vent your anger on Third Sister?Those of us who are brothers can't watch our sisters being bullied. " Bai Fan pretended to be angry.

"No, brother, I, I don't hate him, really, it's my bad luck, and I don't blame him either.

Don't kill him, okay? "Bai Sanmei cried and said.

Bai Fan was dissatisfied and said, "What? You still miss him? Could it be that you forgot what you promised to be your brother? If he is ungrateful, my daughter of the Bai family will not be a weeping little girl, nor can I be delayed by a scumbag." youth."

Bai Sanmei shook her head and said: "It's my sister who is not good, it's my sister who failed my brother's expectations, but he is not guilty of death, I... I am willing to take the family law and beg my brother to forgive him."

At this time, a person suddenly rushed in from outside the house, pointed at Bai Fan and shouted, "Husband, what are you doing? The third sister looks like this, do you still want to reprimand her?"

It turned out that it was Bai Fan's flat wife, Dou Qiongying, who was worried and eavesdropped outside the house. Seeing that Bai Fan was going to start a family law, the straightforward Dou Qiongying rushed out to fight for Bai Sanmei without caring about other things.

"Oh? According to Madam, what should I do as an older brother?" Bai Fan asked with a smile.
