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

Emperor Tian'an was like a fierce tiger, looking at Ning Fan quietly.

After a long time, he nodded and said: "I should reward you for your contribution this time! Tell me, what place do you want as a fiefdom?"

Ning Fan had already thought about it. The bitter cold land in the northwest was naturally not suitable for developing the economy and modern industrialization of his vassal. Jiangzhou, close to the Tianjiang River, had a large area of ​​uncultivated wasteland. It was vast and sparsely populated, so it was very suitable. Ning Fan's vision for his fiefdom.

"Jiangzhou! Father, I think Jiangzhou is good. It is my wish to live in that place for the rest of my life."

Ning Fan said quickly.

Emperor Tian'an nodded: "Jiangzhou is a vast area with few people. Are you sure you want such a place?"

"My son, I'm sure!"

Ning Fan said affirmatively.

Emperor Tian'an nodded: "It might not be a bad thing for you to stay away from Kyoto and away from the turmoil!"

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Emperor Tian'an continued to ask.

Ning Fan's mind raced, and he suddenly felt that this was an excellent opportunity.

After thinking for a while, Ning Fan said: "Father, the son, the minister, and the daughter of Marquis Zhenyuan, Xiao Lingxi, are in love with each other..."

"Father, this is inappropriate."

Prince Ning Qing had been listening quietly. When he heard Ning Fan's proposal, he jumped up.

Ning Fan's expression changed. He did not expect that the prince would not let him go even though he had repeatedly retreated.

Could it be that the prince was unwilling to fulfill such a small wish as his own marriage to Xiao Lingxi?

"Why not?"

Ning Fan asked with a cold face.

"Sixth brother, you are confused!"

"The fourth child has just passed away. How can you behave appropriately when you get married at this time? What will the world say about our brothers?"

The prince sneered and said: "My brother has just lost his life, are you embarrassed to get married so soon?"

Ning Fan was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the prince would use this incident to hinder his marriage with Xiao Lingxi, and he was speechless for a moment.

"Father, this matter... I have not considered this matter well, but it is okay not to get married for the time being. I would like to ask my father to grant marriage first."

Ning Fan was unwilling to give up this opportunity, so he tried his best to finalize the marriage.

In this way, you can avoid long nights and many dreams.

Prince Ning Qing's face turned pale when he heard that Ning Fan still refused to give up.

Because in his opinion, he is the future emperor, and Xiao Lingxi, the most beautiful woman in Anjing, should be his crown princess!

Now that Ning Fan has the guts to propose marriage, that is transgression!

"Father, this cannot be done. General Xiao Zhongzhong has a large number of troops. If he marries the vassal king, he must be restricted!"

Prince Ning Qing continued to stir things up.

Ning Fan clenched his fists angrily, feeling his breath stuck in his chest.

As the saying goes, people under the roof have to bow their heads.

At this moment, Ning Fan felt the gap between himself and the prince.

Why can the prince fall apart if he does just a little thing, but the prince forces the fourth prince Ning Xiao to death, but can stand here lightly and unharmed... "The prince is right about this matter. Let’s put it aside for now!”

Emperor Tian'an still felt a little regretful. After all, Ning Fan, as his son, risked his life to embed himself into the Huns' ranks this time, risking his own life and single-handedly breaking the siege of the Huns. He was indeed indispensable.

After thinking about it, Emperor Tian'an said again: "Fan'er, since we are in love, just wait a little longer. I can promise you that once the war in the northwest subsides in three years, you can have sex with Xiao Lingxi by then. Engaged."

Ning Fan was filled with anger, but he did not dare to explode.

Hearing what Emperor Tian'an said at this time, Ning Fan finally felt a little more comforted. Although there was no actual engagement, Emperor Tian'an's words could be regarded as a promise.

Three years!

Ning Fan naturally knows what three years means. I am afraid that by then, the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked, the military power of Zhenyuan Marquis Xiao Zhong will be dismantled, and the court will no longer have to worry about this person!

"Father, all sons and ministers must obey my father's arrangements."

Ning Fan pretended to be obedient and said.

At least, there was no unpleasant emotion visible on his face at this time.

"Father, how can the barren land of Jiangzhou be suitable for becoming King Qing's fiefdom? I have a better suggestion!"

The prince glanced at Ning Fan and said with a sneer.

Ning Fan has a bad conscience. The reason why Jiangzhou is adjacent to Tianzhou and the land is barren is mainly because Jiangzhou is on the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Every year, waterlogging will turn it into a white lake!

Therefore, no one wanted to thrive here, which resulted in large areas of fertile farmland being completely barren and large areas of forest occupying that land.

In fact, Ning Fan has already made a plan. He only needs to build a river embankment where the Yellow River breaks its embankment, and then dredge the river channel. Then Jiangzhou will become a second land of plenty!

"Oh, what do you suggest?"

Emperor Tian'an looked at Prince Ning Qing.

"Yunzhou is adjacent to the northwest border. With Sixth Brother's talent, if he is willing to manage it as a fiefdom, it will definitely become the most solid barrier for our great prosperity!"

The prince said maliciously.

Ning Fan was speechless. The prince was determined not to give up until he made things worse!

A place like Yunzhou can be called a barren land. If it were really used as a fiefdom, it would be almost like exile...

Emperor Tian'an had just rejected Ning Fan in the marriage, but now he felt a little embarrassed.

After all, they are all sons, so being too biased is a bit...

"Fan'er, what do you mean?"

Emperor Tian'an had no choice but to throw this question back to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan was speechless. On the surface, Emperor Tianan was harsh on the prince, but in reality he was doting on him infinitely.

Ning Fan didn't know the reason, but he felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

"Father, guarding the border is also the responsibility of my son! In that case, why not use both places as my fiefdom!"

"In addition, I also have an idea. These two places are deserted and suitable for garrisoning troops. If there is a war on the border, we can provide support at any time."

Ning Fan is not stupid, so he will not give up on Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. It is an impact plain. The fertile black soil can ensure a good harvest of food! Tianjiang is an excellent place to develop textile production. As for Yunzhou, although that place is deserted, it is not completely without merit. Ning Fan also read information from the Ministry of Industry before. In fact, Yunzhou contains underground Lots of minerals!

coal! Gold, silver, copper, iron, etc...

"Lao Liu, do you want two fiefs at once? Your appetite is too big, right?"

"You still want to build a border settlement, but don't you know that the vassal king is not allowed to raise private soldiers?"

Prince Ning Qing was furious and immediately jumped out to accuse.

Emperor Tian'an remained silent and watched Ning Qing's accusations against Ning Fan with a cold eye.

Ning Fan is not a weak person. To be a good old man, he is not in that state yet.

"Prince, didn't you tell me to resist the Huns in Yunzhou? If you don't station troops, what kind of resistance did you ask me to use?"

Ning Fan asked sharply.
