Chapter 280: Your Majesty, My Minister Wants A Princess
Only then did the ministers heave a sigh of relief, luckily they didn't really give the golden blue dragon to Xu Fan, otherwise the future prince would not even have the guardian animal.
But everyone can probably guess what the emperor meant.
It is to use a ridiculously high treasure to give to Xu Fan, so that he can retreat in the face of difficulties.
Such an obvious emperor's beloved minister, even willing to give such a precious thing to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan also understood Huangfu Longyuan's intention.
In this way, it seems that he has rewarded himself with something, but in fact he will not give anything.
He sneered in his heart.
"In that case, don't blame me later."
On the dragon chair, Huangfu Longyuan thought for a while and continued.
"Well, since the golden blue dragon cub is too precious, why don't you give Xu Fan 1 billion spirit stones, so that Xu Fan can buy whatever treasures you want, Xu Fan, what is your intention?"
Unsurprisingly, everyone was shocked by this exorbitant reward.
1 billion spirit stones!
The annual income of a big city may not be able to exchange for 1 billion spirit stones!
This is almost more outrageous than giving the golden blue dragon to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan did not speak, because he knew that soon there would be ministers who would come out to object.
Sure enough, less than three seconds.
Zhao Qingfeng, the first-rank senior official and household secretary, stood up.
He knelt down on the ground and said in tears, "Your Majesty, you can't. Now that the war is over, many places in the frontier need money and spirit stones."
"After the war with the orcs, hundreds of thousands of people were homeless. They all need a lot of money to resettle them. They also need to repair Qilian City. There are too many places to spend money on infrastructure repairs!"
"Please take the emperor's order back and give Xu Fan a new reward."
"Countless people are waiting for money now. There is really no extra money to reward Xu Fan. If Xu Fan is really given 1 billion spirit stones, then hundreds of thousands of people in the north will not even have food to eat. Please think again, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Qingfeng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was even more ruthless, directly standing on the moral high ground to give advice.
Huangfu Longyuan frowned, and his voice was a little angry, "Hmph, Xu Fan has made great contributions to my Great Xia. If you don't give it up, won't it make Xu Fan's heart cold? Those who sacrificed blood for the country Heart!"
His angry voice resounded throughout the court, and Zhao Qingfeng, Minister of the Household Department, still said in pain.
"He also asked the emperor to withdraw his order and think about the hundreds of thousands of people in the frontier!"
Huangfu Longyuan looked angry, and the court was so quiet that no one dared to speak.
a long time.
Huangfu Longyuan sighed softly and said to Xu Fan.
"The Minister of the Household Department is right. Frontiers also need money. The life-saving money of hundreds of thousands of people cannot be delayed, and Xu Fan's reward cannot be missed."
He said in a condensed voice: "This one billion spirit stones can still be collected by the emperor, if you want it, it will be delivered to you tomorrow."
"I hope that after you get these spirit stones, you can practice hard to defend your home and country."
"So, Xu Fan, do you want 1 billion spirit stones or something else? If you want other treasures, we need to discuss it another day."
Huangfu Longyuan directly handed over the choice to Xu Fan.
This time, the whole court looked at him with envy.
1 billion spirit stones!
It is enough for a beast master to use it for ten lifetimes, and it may not be able to use it up.
But now Xu Fan can get it as long as he nods his head. This day's big temptation is in front of people, and no one can refuse.
The jealous teeth of many rich and powerful children are almost sour.
But those who really understand the emperor's intention secretly think that the emperor is an old fox.
Huangfu Liuguang under the dragon chair kept sneering in his heart.
"These billions of spiritual stones are the life-saving money of hundreds of thousands of people in the frontier. As long as Xu Fan dares to ask for it, he will be insulted by the people all over the country."
"Even if his reputation is high and his reputation is good, as long as it involves relief money for disaster victims, as long as he operates a little bit, he will be ruined and be punished by the people."
"And Xu Fan doesn't want spirit stone rewards today, so he won't want anything from now on. The so-called discussion in the future is just an excuse for delay."
Huangfu Longyuan used this trick very well. It not only showed his love for the hero, but also set a trap for Xu Fan, waiting for him to sneak into it.
Huangfu Liuguang continued to sneer at the expressionless Xu Fan, "Even if you have infinite credit, so what, as long as I don't agree, you don't even want to get one of them. If you get it, you have to spit out 10!"
Xu Fan took a deep look at Huangfu Longyuan, he did not expect that the emperor and his son were so scheming.
He played such a poisonous trick on himself.
If it weren't for the fact that he was not short of money at all, he would have asked for 1 billion spirit stones if he were an ordinary person.
That being the case, then I have no worries at all.
He felt for a while, Huangfu Longyuan and Huangfu Liuguang's life source aura was still very strong, and when Jinglong came out, he had to bite them to death.
Seeing that Xu Fan didn't speak, Huangfu Longyuan thought that he was obsessed with the 1 billion spirit stones, and was struggling in his heart.
This is exactly what I wanted to see.
So, he gave Wei Zhongxian a look.
Wei Zhongxian understood, and with a sharp voice, forced Xu Fan to make a quick choice.
"Xu Fan, all civil and military officials in the court and the emperor are waiting for you!"
"Do you choose to have it, or not?"
Under the spotlight.
Everyone thought that Xu Fan would want the 1 billion spirit stones.
But Xu Fan just said very lightly.
"I don't want 1 billion spirit stones."
silence.
Everyone looked at Xu Fan stupidly, they didn't expect him to refuse so decisively.
Still so calm, the rich and powerful children present thought about it for a while, and they felt that if they replaced themselves with Xu Fan and refused a billion spirit stones, they would never be able to be as calm and calm as him.
They didn't say anything, but they were really shocked and admired in their hearts.
Huangfu Liuguang took the opportunity to say: "Xu Fan didn't joke in front of the emperor, you have thought it through."
"I've figured it out, these 1 billion spirit stones are life-saving money for the common people, so of course I won't ask for them, but" Xu Fan's voice paused, "But I have a request, and I hope the emperor can agree."
Huangfu Liuguang frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Huangfu Longyuan was calm, and said directly: "You can ask for anything, but if you ask too much, the emperor will not agree to you."
Zhao Qingfeng, Minister of the Household Department, raised his voice and reminded: "Xu Fan, you have to think clearly, the country is now in a critical juncture, and you can't ask too much."
Xu Fan sneered: "Don't worry, it's not too much at all, I don't want a penny."
Only then did Huangfu Longyuan say with confidence: "Then tell me, what do you want?"
The corner of Xu Fan's mouth curled up into a smile, and he pointed with his right hand, the beautiful girl in palace costume under the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, this humble minister wants to marry the princess!"
