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

"When I'm in a chess game, I'm inevitably a pawn. I have to jump out!"

Ning Fan said calmly.

The rise in status did not make Ning Fan dizzy.

On the contrary, Ning Fan was extremely sober at this moment.

He knew that he was in a whirlpool and his life might be in danger at any time.

But now, I am still too weak...

"Your Majesty, are you going to break out of the chess game?"

A satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Zhong's lips.

Ning Fan's performance gave him too many surprises.

He is determined to make this son-in-law.

It is well known that Mr. Cheng Ge has never participated in party strife. He and I have a tacit understanding, needless to say.

When coming out of Xiao's house, Xiaoyu went downstairs and stopped Ning Fan.

"Heartless person! The lady gave this to you."

Xiaoyu threw the things in her hands into Ning Fan's arms, turned around and left.

Ning Fan raised his head and saw a pair of eyes looking at him from the window.

The two looked at each other, and Ning Fan nodded slightly.

After leaving the house and getting on the carriage, Ning Fan opened the package. He was surprised to find that there was a lock of hair in the package.

"Miss Xiao is cutting off her will. She will not marry anyone but the prince."

Ergou saw Ning Fan in a daze and quickly explained.

Ning Fan held this strand of hair tightly in his palm, feeling extremely moved in his heart.

This is the first time Ning Fan has felt a connection since he came to this world.

He seemed to have integrated into this world, and Xiao Lingxi was the only link to this world.

"Your Majesty, come and see the other courtyard."

Luo Yong's face was filled with a smile.

Ning Fan nodded and came to the other courtyard with his hands behind his back.

At this time, in the other courtyard, the blacksmiths were busy making weapons. Ning Fan couldn't put it down with each piece of well-made weapons.

"There are a thousand sets! We have been walking for a month, and the masters have not stopped."

Luo Yong said excitedly.

Long and short weapons are equipped with repeating crossbows, coupled with personal protective goggles and armor, this set of equipment can be said to be armed to the teeth.

"You must be cautious and keep it confidential."

Ning Fan put forward a cross policy.

Seeing Ning Fan's serious expression, Luo Yong suddenly said with a serious face: "I've been secretly moving these things to the villa in the past few days. The three major village heads have recruited many good talents."

"Hurry up and train your troops."

Ning Fan cherishes words like gold.

The errands at Dali Temple seemed to have been forgotten by Ning Fan. These days, Ning Fan did not attend court meetings, and the court seemed to have no intention of pursuing him.

The days seemed to pass like this, but Ning Fan knew that the storm would come sooner or later.

Sure enough, in the evening, Li Chunan came.

It brought a golden book in which Ning Fan was canonized as a prince, and also brought the decree of Emperor Tian'an, announcing that Ning Fan would attend tomorrow's court meeting.

"My lord, since my last trip to Tianjiang, you seem to have been missing."

There is something in Li Chunan's words.

“On the cusp of the storm, we have to retreat bravely.”

Ning Fan sighed.

Li Chunan smiled and said: "The fact that Your Majesty thinks like this means that you have really seen through it! Now is the cusp of the storm, and His Majesty has to give His Majesty a new job."

Li Chunan revealed a piece of information, and Ning Fan suddenly frowned.

The next day, Ning Fan attended the court meeting.

Ning Fan stood in the queue, listening to the minister's memorial, and his mood sank to the bottom.

There are two pieces of bad news. The first piece of bad news is that there is a shortage of food in the autumn, and Dakang will further deepen the famine.

Moreover, the scope of the famine has expanded this time, and there are already small-scale rebel armies in some places!

The second bad news is that the Huns on the northwest border are ready to move, and their autumn offensive is ready to go.

Because of these two things, the ministers were quarreling fiercely. A group of civil servants and military generals were red-faced and thick-necked.

Ning Fan watched with cold eyes. He found that these people's argument was not to solve the problem better, but just to make a difference.

The two parties, with the prince and the fourth prince as the two main parties, will fight over any issue.

"Ning Fan, I intend to send you as a special imperial envoy to provide relief to the victims. What do you think?"

Emperor Tian'an looked haggard and looked at Ning Fan earnestly.

At this time, when the prince heard that Ning Fan had been entrusted with an important task again, he was so angry that his face turned green.

The special imperial envoy has terrifying power, and Ning Fan can do whatever he wants wherever he goes with the emperor's edict in hand.

"Father, you must not do this!"

The prince was the first to object.

"Why not?"

Emperor Tian'an looked indifferent.

"Ning Fan is still relatively inexperienced. If something goes wrong, it will have an immeasurable impact on our well-being."

The prince said bravely.

"Short of qualifications? He is now a prince! Last time, the case of Zhuang Wen's rebellion was solved, but it is obvious to all! In the whole court, who dares to say that he is not qualified enough?"

Emperor Tian'an scolded angrily.

The prince was scolded until he was speechless, and a group of supporters behind him did not dare to say a word.

Just when everyone thought that Ning Fan would once again obtain the position of imperial envoy with great power, someone walked out of the crowd.

"Your Majesty, I think something is wrong! Prince Qing is indeed not qualified enough. The Ministry of Revenue is the most familiar with handling disaster relief matters."

Cheng Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet, stood up and said.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

Just when everyone in the court was speculating that Cheng Wei was Ning Fan's biggest supporter, Cheng Wei actually jumped out and opposed it.

Even the prince was dumbfounded and looked at Cheng Wei in shock.

"I second the motion! Prince Qing is not qualified enough and may bring unpredictable variables to the matter!"

Xiao Zhong, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, said loudly.

The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were stunned. The two recognized supporters of Ning Fan actually jumped out to oppose it at the same time. What happened?

Emperor Tian'an also frowned and said nothing.

The current situation was unexpected even for him.

"Father, my abilities are limited and I am really not worthy of my responsibilities! If my father wants me to take care of the country's worries, I think it would be better to go to the Imperial College."

Ning Fan volunteered.

Imperial College?

The prince almost laughed out loud when he heard that Ning Fan actually took the initiative to go to the Imperial Academy.

In that kind of place, what kind of future can a group of poor and corrupt people have in their lives?

I originally felt that Ning Fan was a threat to me, but now I suddenly feel that this younger brother is particularly pleasing to my eyes.

"Well, if you want to go, then go."

Emperor Tian'an's mood waned.

The prince and the fourth prince fought fiercely among themselves, exhausting the court's energy.

He originally treated Ning Fan differently and wanted to raise his son, but he didn't know that Ning Fan had no ambition at all.

"Xiao Chong, it's time for you to consider returning to the northwest."

Emperor Tian'an changed the topic and looked at Xiao Chong.

The war in the northwest was tense, so Xiao Chong was used again, which was a helpless move.

"Your Majesty, with Taiwei Chen guarding the northwest, there should be no problem."

Xiao Zhong declined.

Lieutenant Chen Ping has always been Xiao Zhong's mortal enemy.

The last time Xiao Zhong was impeached, it was actually Chen Ping who was behind it.

Now that Emperor Tian'an is seeing the tense war in the northwest, he still wants to activate his most trusted Xiao Chong.

However, Xiao Zhong obviously would not call someone and leave immediately, he was angry in his heart.
