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

Chen Ping's son Chen Tao is indeed arrogant and domineering, but Chen Ping is also a figure who has made great contributions to Dakang.

How can such a person die immediately?

"poison."

Xiao Lingxi only said one word.

Ning Fan's face turned ugly for a moment, he didn't expect the prince to act so quickly.

The fourth prince was forced to die, and Chen Ping, who was the remnant of the fourth prince, was bound to be liquidated.

Previously, Ning Fan predicted that Chen Ping's military power would be slowly weakened in a year and a half.

But the fact gave Ning Fan a loud slap in the face!

The prince actually used such drastic means to directly and neatly eliminate those who threatened him.

"The prince is an extremely dangerous person! You must be careful lately."

Xiao Lingxi had worry written on her face.

Ning Fan looked out the window and lamented in his heart that things were about to change in Dakang.

The entire atmosphere in Dakang, just like the weather in late autumn, has become extremely bleak.

"Doing this can't be called wrong, but the consequences are very serious."

Ning Fan sighed, and actually admired the prince's courage.

If it were him, I'm afraid it would be difficult to make up his mind to do this.

Killing Chen Ping would indeed avoid future troubles, but the direct result would be panic among people.

"There aren't many people in Dakang who can lead troops. Apart from Chen Ping, that's your father! It seems that the imperial court is determined to use Zhenyuan Marquis!"

Ning Fan sighed.

Xiao Lingxi nodded: "My father was summoned overnight last night and left for the northwest early this morning!"

Ning Fan sighed again, not expecting things to become so dramatic.

In such a large empire, things are becoming more and more sloppy.

"The news of Chen Ping's death has not spread yet. It will probably take some time! The cause of death can only be due to illness."

Xiao Lingxi sighed.

No matter whether Chen Ping is right or wrong, he is still the hero. He died like this, which will inevitably make people feel the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox pitiful.

"I'm afraid the alienation will start from now on! The spies from Qiu Shou last time haven't been found out yet. I believe there must be someone in the court who is in cahoots with the Huns!"

In front of Ning Fan's eyes, the figure of the man who got into the Huns' tent could not help but appear.

Ning Fan still doesn't know who this person is, but with such a person in the court, I'm afraid all the secrets are not secrets and will be known to the Huns.

After parting ways with Xiao Lingxi, Ning Fan suddenly thought of Chen Tao, and he immediately ordered someone to call Du Yuesheng.

"The plan to deal with Chen Tao is temporarily suspended."

Ning Fan gave orders to Du Yuesheng.

Originally, because Chen Tao coveted Xiao Lingxi, Ning Fan had murderous intentions towards Chen Tao.

But now that Chen Ping is dead, Chen Tao is like a rootless tree and is nothing to worry about. Such a person can no longer pose a threat to Xiao Lingxi.

Not only did Ning Fan not want to commit any more murders, but he was also analyzing the direction of Chen Tao, a key figure.

Chen Ping means that the Chen family's huge network of relationships will fall into Chen Tao's hands.

This is a pure bastard with no knowledge and skills. He believes that it is only a matter of time before his family fortune is ruined.

But the key point is that Ning Fan thinks it is useful to keep this person.

Perhaps at a critical moment, Chen Tao can take advantage.

Of course, this is a casual move, and it remains to be seen whether it will work in the future.

"Your Highness, it's snowing."

The door was pushed open, and Ergou ordered someone to come in with a basin of charcoal fire.

Unknowingly, it’s already winter?

Ning Fan opened the window, and sure enough, there were scattered snowflakes floating in, not much, but very cold.

"I don't know if those refugees can survive this winter."

Ning Fan was worried.

Old Sardin was still communicating with the Chamber of Commerce. It would take time to raise funds, but when Ning Fan saw the snow, he decided that he could no longer wait.

"Ergou, early tomorrow morning, go and invite Sadin over."

Ning Fan closed the window.

Ergou nodded and said, "Your Highness, while you were away during the day, someone sent a secret letter."

Ning Fa turned around suddenly and said with a surprised look on his face: "Where is it?"

"I kept it close to my body."

Ergou reached into his arms and took out a letter.

Ning Fan took the letter with body temperature and opened it anxiously.

When he opened it and looked at the writing on it, Ning Fan knew it was Li Chunan's arm.

The great eunuch Li Chuan has always had a good relationship with Ning Fan. In the past, Li Chuan was also an old friend of Ning Fan's mother, Concubine De.

From the beginning when Li Chuan came to power, he took great care of Ning Fan and told Emperor Tian'an several times to say good things about Ning Fan.

This sudden letter must be about something important.

With a nervous mood, Ning Fan read the entire letter, frowning and feeling uneasy.

In his heart, Li Chunan revealed an important piece of information, that is, Tian'an Emperor Ning Zhen was taking the alchemist's elixir!

Throughout the dynasties, almost every emperor could not escape a fatal fate, that is, death.

The emperor had the wealth and power to control the world, so he naturally wanted to live longer, so some alchemists would take advantage of the opportunity and become popular around the emperor.

Li Chunan's letter revealed another important information, that is, the alchemist was introduced to Emperor Tian'an by the prince.

Emperor Tian'an was not good at first, but as time went by he became dubious.

Now, I have officially started taking pills.

Of course, taking the elixir is not a big deal, and Li Chuan doesn't need to write a secret letter.

The most important piece of information was that Emperor Tian'an's health was deteriorating and he was suffering from the legendary thirst disease!

This disease is a disease of affluence, and in modern times it is called diabetes.

However, ancient people did not have hypoglycemic drugs or insulin, so once they contracted this disease, their life basically entered a countdown.

Throughout the dynasties, the emperor's health problems have been top secret information!

It is crucial for Li Chunan to disclose this issue at this time.

After Ning Fan read the letter word for word, he lit the letter on a candle and then threw it into the charcoal brazier.

Ning Fan felt relieved after watching the letter burn to ashes.

I thought that Emperor Tian'an would be at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period for at least twenty years.

But for now, Ning Fan estimates that if things go well, there will be no problem in three to five years. After all, the doctors at the Imperial Hospital are not vegetarians.

But the key is that Emperor Tian'an took the alchemist's elixir. This information is too important.

According to Ning Fan's estimation, Emperor Tian'an's lifespan may not be too long. Two years should be the limit!

"Can't wait any longer!"

Ning Fan has no time to develop. He goes to Jiangzhou now, and when he comes back again, he will definitely bring a powerful force with him!

"Ergou, bring me my clothes, I want to go out."

Ning Fan felt restless.

Ergou looked shocked. It was already dark outside and there were still snowflakes falling. Where was Ning Fan going at this time?

"Go to Yongning Xiangxiang! You go and report first, I will be there soon!"

Ning Fan lowered his voice.
