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

"Your Majesty, your appointment has been rejected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Li Chunan came back with Ning Fan's imperial edict with a mournful face.

Ning Fan was reading a book in Nuan Pavilion. Hearing what Li Chuanan said, he immediately stood up, clenched his fists, and his face gradually turned blue.

He was an emperor of a generation, but the emperor's appointment was rejected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is simply a travesty in the world. Doesn't the royal family have the power to appoint and remove officials?

A few days ago, Ning Fan appointed Fang Zhengming as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, but that was just verbal.

Now that Ning Fan has officially ascended the throne, he naturally has to go through a formal procedure to give Fang Zhengming a formal letter of appointment.

But what Ning Fan never expected was that his edict would be rejected by the officials. This was so unheard of that Ning Fan's hands were shaking.

"Is this old thief Zhang Wen, the Minister of Civil Service, bullying me into not daring to kill him?"

Ning Fan slapped the table, ink spread all over the table, and half of the book he had just written was soaked in ink.

Ning Fan looked at the ink flowing on the ground and contaminating the carpet, and gradually calmed down. He knew that anger is the rage of the incompetent. The more he loses control of the situation, the easier it is to become angry.

Sometimes Ning Fan actually hoped that the Northwest Army would come to Beijing to fight with the Northwest Army. It would be best to take advantage of the Northwest Army's entry into the city to carry out a general purge and behead all these civil and military officials and traitorous ministers.

The current situation in Dakang is that the civil and military officials have formed an interest group, and they have joined forces to fight against the imperial power. Except for the one who is still under Ning Fan's control, the other six departments do not obey Ning Fan's orders at all.

It can be said that Ning Fan is now facing the same situation as Emperor Dafeng. The government orders are not clear. Although he is an emperor in name, he is actually a polished commander.

"The old thief bullied me too much."

Ning Fan gradually calmed down and slowly sat back on the bed. His eyes were full of murderous intent, but they also shone with the light of wisdom.

It seems that the arrogance in the court is about to be suppressed. Fang Zhengming, the commander of the Imperial Guard, is a knife in Ning Fan's hand.

It's time for this knife to be unsealed. Let Zhang Wen, an old thief, sacrifice the knife tomorrow.

Several young eunuchs hurriedly came in, put on brand new carpets, and also tidied the desk. Ning Fan had completely calmed down at this time. Looking at the few young eunuchs with unfamiliar faces, Ning Fan suddenly felt refreshed in his heart. Got a new idea.

It is not enough to have the Jinyiwei alone. A violent organization must be established that is independent of it.

In this way, once Jin Yiwei becomes more powerful in the future, he will also have a trump card in his hand that can check and balance Jin Yiwei. Otherwise, the imperial power will be controlled by others sooner or later.

"Go and call Chen Yuanqing for me."

Ning Fan ordered to Li Chuan, who was waiting at the side.

In the evening, Chen Yuanqing rode a carriage to the palace. This was his first time entering the palace to meet Ning Fan, who became the emperor. The atmosphere between the two became a little awkward for a while.

Chen Yuanqing is a lazy person, and he has always looked cool in front of Ning Fan. But now facing Ning Fan, who was wearing a dragon robe and had a majestic face, Chen Yuanqing really couldn't relax. He knelt down on the ground with a very serious look on his face. serious.

"Why, it's only been a few days and you don't recognize me anymore?"

Ning Fan put away the dignity on his face and his tone became warmer.

Chen Yuanqing instinctively wanted to stand up. When he saw Li Chunan standing beside him again, he suddenly woke up. Now Ning Fan is no longer the prince he once was, but now he is the emperor of Dakang.

"I don't dare. In my heart, Your Majesty will always be my boss. Whatever Your Majesty wants me to do, I will do it."

Chen Yuanqing was a rough man, but his words were rough and rational, and what he said made Ning Fan very satisfied.

"Do you know what I asked you to do?"

Ning Fan stared at Chen Yuanqing and said.

"I must be running an errand for the Emperor. Tell me, Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"

Although Chen Yuanqing is stupid and crude, he is not completely brainless.

Ning Fan laughed, shook his head and said, "I think back when Luo Yong and I founded the Dragon Scale Army, the Dragon Scale Army at that time only knew Luo Yong and not you, Chen Yuanqing. But after a series of battles, you are now in the Dragon Scale Army." The prestige is the highest.”

"And Luo Yong has now become your deputy."

Hearing what Ning Fan said, Chen Yuanqing quickly knelt down again, kowtowed to Ning Fan and said: "Your Majesty gave me all my rights. I am only commanding the Dragon Scale Army for Your Majesty. The Dragon Scale Army will always be loyal to Your Majesty. In Dragon Scale, In the hearts of the soldiers, His Majesty will always be an insurmountable mountain for them."

Chen Yuanqing spoke cautiously, but every sentence was reliable. This also made Ning Fan look at Chen Yuanqing with admiration. It seemed that this guy was usually careless and was just pretending. He was really rough but subtle.

Ning Fan is not worried at all about the Dragon Scale Army. After all, the Dragon Scale Army has established Ning Fan's position as the absolute leader from the first day it was founded. In the Dragon Scale Army, Ning Fan is the absolute spiritual leader.

In this team, it is impossible for anyone to oppose Ning Fan, because their main ideas are constantly strengthening, and Ning Fan is the god in the Dragon Scale Army.

No matter how many times the Dragon Scale Army changes its commanders, their only leader will always be Ning Fan, and this will never change.

"I plan to pull out the part of the Imperial Guard that originally belonged to the Dragon Scale Army. They will be led by Luo Yong and become my guards in the palace."

Ning Fan didn't beat around the bush and just told Chen Yuanqing what to do.

The Guards were originally the most elite part of the Dragon Scale Army and had always been in Luo Yong's hands. However, the Guards were still nominally affiliated with the Dragon Scale Army and were under the control of Chen Yuanqing.

Now that Ning Fan wanted to bring out these people again, he naturally had to call Chen Yuanqing.

"It's good to do this. The Guards themselves are the most elite and loyal existence. They will protect His Majesty, and I feel relieved. The Dragon Scale Army will be a knife in His Majesty's hands from now on. I will kill whoever Your Majesty asks me to do." Just kill whoever you want."

Chen Yuanqing said with a murderous look on his face.

Ning Fan nodded slightly, then looked at Chen Yuanqing and said, "You are already a grown-up, shouldn't it be time to find a girl from a good family to marry? Well, when the time is right, I will give you a mansion, and you will be here in Kyoto. Make your home."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Yuanqing was overjoyed.

Chen Yuanqing left, and Luo Yong walked in from the outside. Ning Fan summoned Luo Yong and Chen Yuanqing, one after the other, but Luo Yong could only get Zhao Jian behind Chen Yuanqing, which shows that the status of the two in Ning Fan's heart It has already been replaced.

It is true that Luo Yong has always been the most sincere subordinate around Ning Fan, but Chen Yuanqing's ability far exceeds Luo Yong's status in Ning Fan's mind.
