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

At this time, Fang Zhengming had already guessed Ning Fan's thoughts. He entered the hall and knelt directly on the ground.

"Commander Fang Zhengming of the Jinyi Guards comes to see His Majesty."

Fang Zhengming kowtowed to Ning Fan carefully, then lay on the ground without daring to breathe.

Although Jin Yiwei was apparently in the hands of Fang Zhengming these days, Fang Zhengming knew very well in his heart that the real command power was in the hands of Ning Fan, and he, the commander, was like a puppet on strings.

Because of this, Ning Fan would not feel any psychological pressure if he wanted to kick Fang Zhengming away.

"Fang Zhengming, I have no other intention in letting you come today. Originally, Jinyiwei lacked a Grand Governor. Today, Zhou Qun happened to be here. From now on, I will recognize him as the full-power Grand Governor of Jinyiwei. From now on, you will directly take orders from him."

"Also, the manpower of Jinyiwei is not enough at this stage, and there is an urgent need to expand. I plan to re-establish a West Factory under the original system of Jinyiwei. However, the West Factory is still under the jurisdiction of Governor Jinyiwei, and you are also under the jurisdiction of Zhou Qun command."

"You remember that the official positions for more than 100 Jinyiwei households must be appointed by Zhou Qun himself. You do not have this right."

Ning Fan stared at Fang Zhengming sternly. If Fan Fang proved to be a little dissatisfied, Ning Fan's next actions would make Fang Zhengming completely regret it.

Luo Yong has already obeyed the order and is waiting outside the palace. As long as Fang shows any sign of disobeying the order, the guards outside the door will not be a joke.

"Commander Fang Zhengming, commander of the imperial guard, obeys the order!"

From the beginning to the end, Fang Zhengming's expression was respectful and did not change at all. Seeing Fang Zhengming like this, Ning Fan was completely relieved.

Ning Fan actually didn't know much about Fang Zhengming at first, but through Yueying's secret investigation, the alum gained a deep understanding of Fang Zhengming.

Fang Zhengming has no great ambitions, but he is meticulous in doing things and can do many things to the extreme. This person is not a handsome person, but he is a person who does things.

It is most appropriate to let Fang Zhengming serve as the commander of the Jinyiwei to be responsible for specific matters. With Zhou Qun's talent and vision, I believe he can completely control them in a short time.

of course

The two lines of light and dark seem not to interfere with each other, but they are entangled with each other. As for Ning Fan, as the puppet on the strings, in the end, the one holding the strings is enough to control the overall situation.

Early the next morning it was the day of the court meeting again. Ning Fan dressed up to attend the court meeting, and Zhou Qun also went to the court hall for the first time.

When they heard Ning Fan's three strategies, the ministers murmured among themselves. They had no objections to Ning Fan's expansion of Jin Yiwei, but they discussed Ning Fan's second strategy, which was to stop the rebels at Pingnan Pass.

Of course, the main focus of discussion at this time is whether the 30,000 soldiers of the Beida Battalion can withstand the 300,000 rebels. The whole city is worried about the rebels from the northwest entering Kyoto.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, 30,000 troops cannot resist the 300,000 rebels. I once thought that we must gather all our forces to resist the rebels."

Shi Qian, Minister of War, was the first to stand up.

Ning Fan doesn't have much feelings for Shi Qian. He neither dislikes nor likes this person. For Ning Fan, his only shortcoming is his mediocre talent.

No matter what he does for ten days, this person can't come up with any constructive ideas. Most of the things he does is just follow the crowd or remain silent. At this time, he is the first to stand up and express his attitude. In fact, there is someone behind him, and behind him This person is Taiwei Qin Anguo.

"It is indeed impossible for 30,000 to resist 300,000, but a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. I only have these soldiers and horses in my hands now. What do you want me to do?"

Ning Fan asked back.

At this time, the officials were talking a lot, but they couldn't come up with an opinion.

"Your Majesty, there are at least 50,000 soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the Jinyi Guards. These Jinyi Guards are usually supervising, and the officials are rough in their behavior. In my opinion, it is better to let these 50,000 Jinyi Guards go to the northwest at night to stop the enemy."

Taiwei Qin Anguo stood up.

Seeing Tai Lieutenant Qin Anguo die in person, Ning Fan was shocked, knowing that today's biggest enemy finally took the initiative to show up.

Qin Anguo had been flirting with the rebels in the northwest and secretly exchanged letters. Ning Fan had already grasped everything.

Zhengchou couldn't find a way to attack the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to reach out to him at this time, so of course Ning Fan would be rude at this time.

Originally, Ning Fan planned to use Qin Anguo as bait, but now that he saw Qin Anguo losing his old face and standing up to confuse the public with his lies, Ning Fan naturally could no longer tolerate it.

"The lieutenant's words are wrong. Jin Yiwei has the functions of Jin Yiwei. Jin Yiwei still has many things to do. Going to the northwest to resist the rebels is not something Jin Yiwei is good at."

"But I would like to know what the Taiwei is thinking when he says this. Do you really want to transfer all the power around me to the northwest? Then I will let you do whatever you want."

Ning Fan stared at Qin Anguo coldly, his tone no longer as polite as before.

At this time, the atmosphere in the court instantly turned cold. The ministers below looked at Ning Fan with some horror, because they still remembered that when the emperor became angry, the Minister of Personnel was the first to be unlucky and was pulled out and beheaded on the spot.

Qin Anguo also felt the pressure from the court and Ning Fan. However, he was not panicking at this time. He was a soldier in the world and one of the three princes of the Grand Marshal's court. Of course, he was not someone who would be scared away by a few words.

"Your Majesty, are you overreacting? The old minister is just saying something. If Your Majesty doesn't accept it, forget it. Just think that what I, a dying man, said is all nonsense."

Qin Anguo was indeed scheming. Seeing that Ning Fan was angry at this time, he did not confront Ning Fan directly, but chose to take a step back.

Ning Fan was naturally dismissive of Qin Anguo's extreme push. He actually attacked Qin Anguo today, so there was no turning back. If he didn't take down this old thing today, then the other party would definitely unleash more in the future. Yao Mozi.

"Actually, I know what Taiwei means. Transfer the Jin Yiwei to the northwest and defeat the northwest rebels. By then, the 20,000 private soldiers under your command can occupy Kyoto, echo the northwest rebels, and unite the north and the south."

Ning Fan slightly nodded towards Zhou Qun, who immediately knelt down on the ground, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and handed it directly to the eunuch: "Your Majesty, I have something to report. Lieutenant Qin Anguo, Li Tong rebels He eats both inside and outside, secretly communicating with others, and I ask your majesty to capture this person."

Qin Anguo was dumbfounded when he heard the charges listed by Zhou Qun. His eyes widened and he looked at Ning Fan in disbelief.
