Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

In fact, Ning Fan has already thought deeply about this matter and deduced it in his mind countless times.

It is certainly a credit to directly escort the culprits Zhuang Wen and Yue Zhongping back to Beijing.

After all, he had an agreement with Emperor Tian'an before, and being named a prince was a sure thing.

But Lin Fan couldn't leave so irresponsibly. He wanted to clear out all the forces belonging to Zhuang Wen's party in Tianjiang Province. Ning Fan even had a plan in his heart. He wanted to make Tianjiang his successor. Basic disk.

The prince Ning Qing was supported by the entire courtier group, so his power was naturally huge, and the fourth prince Ning Xiao had a group of generals standing behind him, who could also be evenly matched with the prince.

If Ning Fan wants to participate in the fight for the heir, he must have enough bargaining chips. In a place like Kyoto, if Ning Fan wants to fight for his own place, he may have to start with General Xiao Zhongzhong.

However, in order to completely compete with the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, Ning Fan must take a longer-term view. This trip to Tianjiang is a good opportunity for Ning Fan.

"Wouldn't it be better for the Sixth Prince to handle this matter yourself? In this way, it will be a great achievement for you when you return to Kyoto. I believe His Majesty will appreciate His Highness the Sixth Prince even more."

Song Chengzhou, the governor of Tianjiang, looked puzzled.

Even Song Chengzhou, who is an evergreen member of the officialdom, can't figure out what kind of medicine Ning Fan sells in his gourd. He doesn't want to take the huge credit, but he just gives it to himself...

"Master Song, have you ever thought about something? Many things have far exceeded my authority as an imperial envoy. If I do well, countless people will naturally applaud me, and my father will appreciate me more, but even if I do well, A little mistake will be caught and magnified infinitely."

Ning Fan didn't hide anything from Song Chengzhou and directly shared his thoughts.

After hearing Ning Fan's explanation, Song Chengzhou was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up, looked at Ning Fan with admiration and said: "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, you are the most intelligent and intelligent person I have ever seen. A prince."

Next, Song Chengzhou had a tendency to hesitate to speak, but he forcibly restrained himself.

Ning Fan looked at Song Chengzhou with a smile, and the two looked at each other in understanding.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, it will be up to the veteran to take charge of this matter. If there is merit, the veteran will try his best to give the credit to His Highness. If there is any responsibility, let the veteran take full responsibility."

Song Chengzhou, the governor of Tianjiang, has decided to fall under Ning Fan's command. Although Ning Fan looks far different from the prince and the fourth prince now, he really has great potential.

In the next few days, although Ning Fan seemed to be traveling around Tianjiang, in fact, the current situation in Tianjiang was constantly changing every day.

To be on the safe side, Ning Fan wrote a memorial of all the major events that happened in Tianjiang every day and rushed them to Kyoto for 800 miles.

"Your Highness, when the court has not yet reached a conclusion on this matter, we cannot kill people randomly. We can only arrest and imprison all these people first. After the court has a conclusion, they will all be sentenced to death."

In the evening, Song Chengzhou came to Qianjiang Courtyard in person and reported the matter to Ning Fan face to face.

"Master Song, you are more thoughtful. Let's handle this matter as you said, but remember not to let a fish slip through the net. Treason is a serious crime and must be eliminated."

After Ning Fan thought about it for a while, he approved of Song Chengzhou's method.

On the surface, Ning Fan did not intervene in this matter, but he also sent people to pay attention to the matter. Almost every move of Song Chengzhou was under Ning Fan's surveillance.

"Your Highness, you still need to do things like confiscation of your home yourself."

Song Chengzhou took the initiative to bring this piece of cake to Ning Fan's mouth.

Confiscating a house is the most lucrative thing to do. After all, a wealthy man like Zhuang Wen has occupied the position of governor of Tianzhou for so many years, and the interests in the government may be frighteningly huge.

"Master Song, I'd better not handle this matter. I'll leave it to you to handle it. Remember to check it thoroughly and register everything. When the time comes, I will present it to my father for personal reading." .”

Ning Fan thought for a while and then decided not to interfere in this matter. After all, this matter involved huge interests. If he intervened, he would definitely be attacked by the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.

Song Chengzhou looked at Ning Fan with some confusion. He didn't know why Ning Fan refused. After all, if you want to participate in seizing the heir, financial resources are also very important. Without strong financial support, it will be very difficult for Ning Fan to turn around in his current situation.

But Song Chengzhou didn't know that Ning Fan didn't take this petty gain seriously at all.

Relying on Tan Mo's little money can only be said to be a drop in the bucket for Ning Fan.

But if you can do business in Tianjiang and sell some fresh things to Tianjiang, it will bring a steady stream of funds to Ning Fan.

In the past few days, Ning Fan has actually been thinking about one thing.

Do you want to keep the stars?

Ning Fan noticed Xingchen's talent.

He has a resolute and steady personality, and is very considerate in doing things. Although he is only a teenager, he is mature and prudent in handling matters.

While Ning Fan was immersed in the first step of building his own business empire, Song Chengzhou said cautiously: "Your Highness, if you are afraid of being criticized, you can participate in the supervision of this matter!"

"This is fine too."

Ning Fan nodded.

The powerful family behind Zhuang Wen has been entrenched in Tianjiang Province for hundreds of years. This inspection of the banker will definitely gain a lot of wealth.

Perhaps this wealth can fill the current emptiness in the national treasury.

Historically, when conducting inspections, officials have always been greedy for ink.

But if Ning Fan sits in charge as an imperial envoy, perhaps corruption can really be avoided.

"Master Song, you have worked hard these days!"

Ning Fan saw that Song Chengzhou's face seemed to have more wrinkles.

It was also today that Ning Fan learned that when Zhuang Wen and his men broke into the Governor's Mansion to arrest Song Chengzhou, they actually killed Song Chengzhou's son!

The old boy was ruined again!

Ning Fan could hardly imagine how Song Chengzhou managed to maintain emotional stability and not reveal his sadness.

"Your Highness!"

Song Chengzhou burst into tears.

"Master Song, I am also responsible for this matter! If I had tried my best to stop Zhuang Wen, this thief, maybe the tragedy would not have happened."

Ning Fan sighed.

Song Chengzhou held back his tears, shook his head and said: "Time is fate, everything is fate! My rebellious son was spoiled and did many things that harmed the people. This time he was killed, it was also his life. I don't feel sorry for him!" "
