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

"Tell me the truth, did you plan to force your fourth brother to death?"

"Do you think he threatens your position as prince, and deliberately force him to rebel, and then take the opportunity to get rid of him?"

Emperor Tian'an coughed violently, and the corners of his mouth turned a bit red.

When Prince Ning Qing heard these words, he was frightened, trembling all over, and defended loudly.

Ning Fan quietly stepped into the palace gate and just listened quietly without saying a word.

The fourth prince, Ning Xiao, was brave, good at fighting, and had a reckless temperament. The most likely reason was that he was frightened by the prince's tactics and then raised an army to protect himself.

At the critical moment, the prince, regardless of Emperor Tian'an's death, led his troops to suppress the rebellion and directly forced the fourth prince Ning Xiao to death.

Of course, this is just a guess in Ning Fan's mind and must not be spoken out.

Emperor Tian'an's position made him uncertain and unable to see the facts clearly.

Ning Fan could see this clearly. He knew very well that even if Emperor Tian'an had doubts, the doubts would be slowly eliminated due to his doting on the prince Ning Qing.

Ning Fan just listened quietly, listening to the conversation between Emperor Tian'an and Ning Qing, the father and son, and personally witnessed how Ning Qing turned black into white, and how he deceived the wise and powerful Emperor Tian'an into confusion... …

Unfortunately, Ning Fan couldn't speak.

Because not only would no one believe what he said, but he would also be suspected of having ulterior motives, and it might even lead to death!

The great changes in Qiu Shou will have an immeasurable impact on the future of Dakang. If something goes wrong, Dakang will be directly divided, or even destroyed.

What Ning Fan is thinking about now is not the prince's murder of his own brother, but how to calm down the anger of the forces behind the fourth prince Ning Xiao.

Taiwei Chen Ping is a representative of the forces behind the Fourth Prince. At the same time, there are many ministers, family members and even some wealthy businessmen who are betting on the Fourth Prince. Will these people jump over the wall in a hurry? This is a whirlpool, precarious. Although Emperor Tian'an is not old, the long-term information blockade has made this well-off emperor gradually faint.

Ning Fan had a clear understanding of all this, and he suddenly realized that what his thirteenth uncle Ning Yin said was so right.

If you continue to stay in Anjing, you may be shattered by this whirlpool in the future. It is better to take the opportunity to ask for seal, and then develop in a wretched manner.

Even if the world changes dramatically, if you retreat, you can separate yourself to protect yourself, and if you advance, you can compete in the world!

"Father, my fourth brother is suspicious and may have misunderstood the prince's intentions!"

"He sensed that his father might be in danger, so he felt that after the throne fell into the hands of the prince, he might not be able to reap the benefits, so he took the opportunity to raise troops to protect himself!"

"Fourth brother has no ill intentions and is loyal to Dakang. Unfortunately, sometimes he is confused."

Ning Fan, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

When he opened his mouth, it was to defend the prince.

Emperor Tian'an opened his eyes and looked at Ning Fan with some surprise, his eyes full of confusion and shock.

Prince Ning Qing did not expect that at this time, Ning Fan not only did not add insult to injury, but instead tried to excuse himself. This was really unexpected.

"Prince, I will investigate your fourth brother's matter, but there is one thing that I need you to explain!"

Emperor Tian'an ignored Ning Fan's words, but raised his head and looked at the prince with eager eyes.

The prince panicked and his body shrank.

He knew that if the next matter could not be explained clearly, it would be the most dangerous thing.

"Father, my son really wants to lead the troops to save my father immediately! Unfortunately, I am worried that someone in the court will cause trouble and take the opportunity to rebel. Our Dakang will never have peace!"

"In addition, I am also worried that the siege by the army will cause the Huns to jump over the wall and attack the palace desperately. This will not only fail to save my father, but will put my father in danger!"

The prince had clearly prepared his plan and his words were clear and impeccable.

Ning Fan listened and sighed in his heart.

At this point, it is indeed difficult to say that the prince's actions were cold-blooded.

After all, as the heir to the throne, the first thing Prince Ning Qing should do in times of crisis is to return to the court and take charge of the overall situation.

The prince's behavior was impeccable, and Emperor Tian'an had no way of pursuing him.

It's just that his expression looks a little more forlorn.

"What happened to your fourth brother? Let's just say that he died in an accident while protecting me... give him a good burial."

Emperor Tian'an's voice revealed infinite sadness.

Prince Ning Qing also pretended to be sad and said: "Father, I will blame myself for the rest of my life for what happened to my fourth brother! In fact, at the beginning, I really didn't expect that my fourth brother would be so fragile..."

Emperor Tian'an waved his hand: "Everything is fate. You can make arrangements. I'm... tired."

Emperor Tian'an's mood was waning, and he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

"Father, my condolences!"

Ning Fan knelt down and said.

Emperor Tian'an nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Fan'er, thanks to you risking your life to save me this time! You are the first to take credit for me being able to come back alive this time. Tell me, how do you want me to reward you?"

Ning Fan was not too happy after hearing Emperor Tian'an's words.

All he could think about now was the aftermath.

The fourth prince, a strong contender for the throne, died like this. The impact of this incident was too great. I am afraid that nearly half of the courtiers were involved, not to mention Chen Ping in the northwest.

However, Ning Fan also knows that with his current status, he is really not qualified to talk about these things.

Perhaps in Emperor Tian'an's heart, his son was not the successor to the throne from the beginning...

"Father, although my son has been granted the title of King Qing, he has not yet been granted the title of land."

Ning Fan said softly.

Emperor Tian'an was stunned when he heard what Ning Fan said.

Ordinary princes hope to stay in Anjing, so that there is at least some hope.

But Ning Fan decided to go to the fiefdom, which was very strange. Even Emperor Tian'an seemed unable to figure out Ning Fan's thoughts.

"You mean, you want me to grant you a fiefdom? Do you want to grant it?"

Emperor Tian'an looked puzzled.

Ning Fan nodded: "These are troubled times. It's not that I don't want to stay in front of my father and serve! But the matter of the fourth brother makes me... very scared."

Ning Fan tried his best to appear sincere, making this dialogue between monarch and minister as close to a dialogue between father and son as possible.

In this way, the father-son feeling in Emperor Tian'an's heart can be awakened, and it can also leave more room for future operations.

"What are you afraid of?"

Emperor Tian'an asked clearly, but his voice was no longer deep, and his voice was loud and full of majesty.

"Father, my sons and ministers are no different from participating in the struggle for the throne. My sons and ministers... I only hope to cultivate more talents for Dakang, and I only hope to assist my father."

Ning Fan said bluntly.
