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

"The whole world will support the crown prince's orthodoxy. Is it useful for His Highness to do this? It is nothing more than a desperate struggle."

Duke Chen Guogong looked at Ning Fan with a bit of compassion.

"Chen Guogong, tell me with your own conscience, do you really think that Prince Ning Jing can resist the Huns? If the prince is allowed to inherit the throne, Dakang will be completely destroyed by this autumn."

"But I know very well that in the eyes of you aristocratic families, whether or not the great prosperity will perish has nothing to do with you. Even if the dynasty changes again, you will just change the dynasty to dominate and prosper."

Ning Fan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chen Guogong, so he ordered his men to tie up Chen Guogong and take him away directly.

Behind Chen Guogong Chen Mo is the Chen family chaebol, a wealthy family in Guanzhong who owns countless fertile lands.

This kind of aristocratic family is exactly what Ning Fan wants to eradicate.

"You have no chance. His Majesty was laid to rest last night. I believe the Crown Prince should have already started presiding over the enthronement ceremony today."

Chen Guogong said with a slight sarcasm.

Ning Fan didn't react at all and turned a deaf ear, as if he hadn't heard anything. He just looked at the battlefield. The entire frozen river became a battlefield. Most of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court knelt down and surrendered. They were able to escape. , but only a very small number.

This battle started at dusk and ended at three o'clock in the morning. The biting north wind and the heavy snow in the sky quickly buried the blood on the battlefield.

Although the sun shines through the dark clouds and shines on the ice, the biting snow still shrouds the entire Jiangling Ferry in a cold wind.

This war is not easy for Ning Fan, because if there is a slight mistake, Lang Ping may suffer heavy losses, but the final result is good.

At almost noon, Song Chengzhou, the governor of Tianjiang, personally led an army of 100,000 people to come to support. When he saw the captured soldiers and horses of the imperial court everywhere, Song Chengzhou was shocked.

"Your Highness, I just received the latest news that the crown prince has ascended the throne in Kyoto and is officially named Dafeng."

Song Chengzhou frowned and said.

"Bring me a pen."

Ning Fan's expression remained unchanged, and he quickly wrote a message on the paper with a splash of ink, a thousand words, and every word was as sharp as a knife.

"Your Highness, are you going to start a direct war with the clan? It would be unwise to make too many enemies at this time."

Seeing Ning Fan's essay full of freedom and equality, Song Chengzhou was shocked.

You must know that the main contradiction must be grasped at the critical moment. It is the prince Ning Qing who Ning Fan wants to rebel against, not the family members. If the family members are pushed to the opposite side at this time, the resistance to Ning Fan's entry into Beijing will increase infinitely.

"The wheels of history are rolling, and these sects will eventually be swept into the garbage dump of history. I don't care about these people, and I am not afraid of them uniting at all. I can just unite them and sweep them away."

Ning Fan's expression was full of pride.

If the family members are not eradicated, it will be a cancer for Ning Fan in the future, and it will be detonated sooner or later. He will simply put them into the enemy camp and wipe them out one by one.

The reason why Ning Fan dared to do this was because he had some considerations. The world has been suffering for a long time, and many people who have been oppressed have already become unbearable. At this time, if Ning Fan has to stand firm, he may be able to win more support.

These powerful landowners annexed large amounts of land, causing ordinary people to become homeless and become slaves of the landlords' families.

Ning Fan believes that this group of people are unwilling to be slaves anymore. These people are the most willing to stand up and reshuffle the cards. It is this group of people that Ning Fan wants to win over.

"The countryside surrounds the city? Does His Highness want to rely on some desperate measures to conquer the world?"

Song Chengzhou frowned again when he saw the line of strategy written by Ning Fan.

As a veteran who first stood by Ning Fan and supported Ning Fan with a clear attitude, Song Chengzhou was qualified to question Ning Fan.

Song Chengzhou brought 100,000 elite soldiers, plus the original 50,000 wolf soldiers. Now combined, there are a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses.

Ning Fan's most direct troops are hidden around Kyoto, but at this moment, the imperial court must have deployed heavy defense lines. Once the Dragon Scale Army is exposed, they will immediately be shut down and beaten, so Ning Fan does not dare to use Dragon Scale yet. military.

It was originally a quick war, but it turned out to be a protracted war.

In the evening, a team of hundreds of people came to Ning Fan's tent. In the cold wind, they knelt in front of the tent. Ning Fan walked out of the tent and gave the visitor a big bear hug.

"Your Highness."

Xingchen's face was full of excitement.

For nearly half a year, Ning Fan had only a handful of opportunities to meet Qing Qing. This young man who looked thin but had a resolute expression had been running on the front line of intelligence and became Ning Fan's intelligence chief throughout Dakang. .

At this time, Ning Fan had completely lost face with the imperial court, and the intelligence war was particularly important, so Ning Fan summoned Xingchen to himself overnight.

"This is a memorandum against thieves. I will tell the world about this memorandum early tomorrow morning."

Ning Fan took out the article to accuse thieves and handed it to Xingchen with his own hands.

This is a war of public opinion and a protracted war. The imperial troops led by Ning Qing will definitely not give up. These die-hards representing the power of the landlords will definitely resist to the death.

Ning Fan must rely on such an appeal to win more allies. Only by winning more power can Ning Fan gain a firm foothold step by step and make progress step by step.

"Does His Highness really intend to play it safe and start a long-term tug of war with the imperial court? This will not be a good thing for either Dakang's national strength or the people of Liming."

After Song Chengzhou heard Ning Fan's initial strategy, he broke into a cold sweat.

If Ning Fan's strategy continues as it is, I am afraid that even if Ning Fan finally wins the throne, the entire national power of Dakang will be exhausted.

You must know that Dakang is now in a state of sunset. Both human and material resources are at a historical low.

Now if there is another civil war to consume, once the Huns are free to attack Dakang, I am afraid that Dakang will be unable to fight back at that time.

"This is just what we declare to the outside world. After all, now that the prince has ascended to that position, we are now unjust and unjust, and we must show our own banner as soon as possible."

"Of course, a quick victory is still the best solution, but this requires Mr. Song and everyone here to contain the imperial court's large number of soldiers and horses."

Ning Fan unfolded the map and began to mark the locations of the imperial troops on the map.
