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

"Father, this is absolutely impossible!"

Before Emperor Tian'an finished speaking, Prince Ning Qing was the first to jump out and object.

Ning Fan was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that the prince would dare to object.

Although I felt a little unhappy, I didn't feel anything.

The prince's objection is no hindrance to Ning Fan, after all, this matter has been discussed in advance.

"Why not?"

Emperor Tian'an glanced at Prince Ning Qing.

"Father, Ning Fan did a great job in raiding the traitor Zhuang Wen this time! However, I learned that Ning Fan was also involved in a lot of corruption!"

Prince Ning Qing looked back at Ning Fan and smiled sinisterly.

"Tainmo?"

Emperor Tian'an was a little confused, but said calmly: "If you have evidence, show it."

"Father! With so much money, how could Ning Fan not be greedy for money? All we need from you, Father, is to order an investigation, and we will definitely find out."

Prince Ning Qing said unwillingly.

Obviously, he was anxious and couldn't bear to see Ning Fan become the king, so he tried to stop him at all costs.

"Prince, what do you mean? There is no evidence and it's all just speculation?"

Ning Fan didn't panic at all, he sneered.

"Ning Fan, do you dare to swear that you didn't take any money?"

"I don't believe it. More than ten million taels of silver are placed in front of you. How can you not be tempted?"

The prince was sure that Ning Fan was greedy for ink, so he was very determined.

Emperor Tian'an remained silent and watched his two sons arguing without saying a word to stop them.

The other courtiers were silent, but some looked at the prince hesitantly.

A dignified prince of a country, speaking and doing things at this level?

Ning Fan looked angry on the surface, but actually he was very happy in his heart.

The more the prince makes stupid moves, the more he digs his own grave, and Ning Fan is happy to see it succeed.

"Prince, don't use your own thoughts to judge others. You are that kind of person, but I am not!"

Ning Fan sneered and retorted: "I can swear to God, I, Ning Fan, didn't take a penny from the banker's property! Song Chengzhou, the governor of Tianjiang, was in charge of the whole process, and every penny was registered and documented. Can be checked.”

The prince was so angry at Ning Fan's words that he couldn't find the words to refute. He was so anxious that he couldn't do anything.

"Prince, you have lost your temper today! Go down."

Emperor Tian'an said with an ugly expression.

Although Prince Ning Qing was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to wave his sleeves and leave angrily.

"Father, you are the Son of Heaven, and everything in the world belongs to you. As your son, why should I be greedy for a little profit? Now is the time when the great prosperity is in danger, and I will not do that even more. Got it!"

"Only when there is a country can there be a family. Only when there is great prosperity and stability can we, the ministers, be safe and happy!"

"Ministers, do you say yes or no?"

Ning Fan turned around and said to the ministers.

"Yes!"

All the ministers shouted in unison to express their loyalty.

Emperor Tian'an nodded slightly. Today, Ning Fan has completely suppressed the crown prince's limelight.

"Ning Fan, I will ennoble you as the Qing Prince. I will order people to work hard to build the golden book! However, you are now a prince worthy of the name. I hope you can continue your efforts and solve my problems."

Emperor Tian'an encouraged him.

"Father, my son will definitely share his worries for his father."

Ning Fan said happily.

After the court dispersed, many officials came to congratulate Ning Fan.

Of course, only a few officials came to congratulate Ning Fan.

In addition to Cheng Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet, there are several secondary ministers.

Among the six departments, only the Minister of Industry came forward to congratulate Ning Fan, while the other five departments left in a hurry.

On the general side, five or six military attachés headed by Xiao Chong came to congratulate Ning Fan. Most of them were officials from the capital who were guarding the border and returned to the court.

As for the generals who are not under Xiao Zhongjie's control, it's as if they haven't seen them at all...

When Ning Fan saw this scene, he sighed in his heart.

Although the prince is fatuous, he is justified after all, and there are countless people who stand by the prince.

The civil servants and military officers stood on the side of the prince like a crucian carp crossing a river.

"Your Highness, this time, finally realized the power of the clan, right?"

Cheng Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet, said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, Ning Fan could feel Cheng Wei's worry.

"Mr. Cheng Ge, it is true that a wealthy family has such wealth. In the eyes of the imperial court, these wealthy families may all become beggars."

Ning Fan was also in a bad mood.

On the one hand, it was because he was crowned a prince and no one congratulated him. On the other hand, he was also deeply worried about Dakang's future.

Not in his position, not in charge of politics, once Ning Fan went deep into the court, he discovered that Dakang, which seemed to be prosperous on the surface, was actually riddled with holes.

The aristocratic families have almost annexed the land, and ordinary people can only cultivate some barren land. It is difficult to support themselves, let alone pay taxes to the country.

And those aristocratic families sit on a large amount of fertile land but do not pay taxes, and hold huge wealth in their hands, but this wealth is not circulated at all...

"Dakang must have a ruthless person to kill these powerful people, so that the health of the country can continue."

Cheng Wei's eyebrows twitched, and a murderous aura emerged.

"Take your time. There are internal and external troubles at the moment, and there will be greater challenges in the future."

Ning Fan said lightly.

After separating from Cheng Wei, Ning Fan got on the sedan and headed straight to his mansion.

Even though he was crowned king and it was a triumph, Ning Fan didn't get any sense of honor of his own.

Except for Emperor Tian'an who kept his promise, the performance of the other courtiers greatly disappointed Ning Fan.

It seems that right and wrong are no longer important in the eyes of these officials. How to team up is the most important thing.

In addition, there are two other things that worry Ning Fan the most.

The first thing is the assassination last night.

This was the first time Ning Fan faced a life and death crisis after traveling to Dakang.

The coldness of the blade scraping across his neck gave Ning Fan a shuddering feeling to this day.

The second thing is what Ning Fan just hesitated to say in front of the cabinet chief Cheng Wei.

When Ningfan was in Tianjiang, he checked many of Zhuang Wen's letters, some of which were between him and the Huns.

From these letters, Ning Fan saw a sign that the Jurchens were also ready to make a move, and seemed to have the intention to join forces with the Huns to carve up the great wealth.

Of course, Ning Fan had already given these letters to Emperor Tian'an. As for the imperial government's policies, Ning Fan did not have enough strength to influence them yet.

As soon as Ning Fan entered the door, he saw that all of his servants had solemn expressions.

"Your Highness, the identity of the assassin is very hidden and cannot be found out at all."

Luo Yong was the first to come up and report what happened last night to Ning Fan.
