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

Grand Master Li Cun must have many comrades, and there are also many officials who want to escape from the capital while taking advantage of the chaos. This is something Ning Fan cannot tolerate in his heart. These people already have the intention of rebelling, so naturally they can no longer be merciful and stay. Since these people will also be a scourge in the future, it is a wise decision to take the opportunity to eliminate these talents.

When he went to court in the morning, Ning Fan for the first time did not mention the incident of rebellion last night, as if the incident last night had never happened. The civil and military officials seemed to be unaware that no one had ever mentioned that incident.

A storm that almost broke the sky was covered up quietly.

However, the impact of this incident on Ning Fan and the entire political situation of the imperial court was far from over. It was not until five days later that the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Fang Zhengming, hurried to the palace.

The reason why Fang Zhengming hurriedly came to the palace was not to report anything bad to Ning Fan, but to take credit. After these days, the trial of those rebellious officials proved to be very fruitful.

But this time, Fang Zhengming did not come alone, but was followed by dozens of people. These Jinyi guards were carrying big boxes and were grinning from ear to ear. This showed that the contents of these boxes were not light.

"Master Fang, what are you doing?"

Seeing Fang Zhengming leading a group of royal guards carrying boxes straight to the inner court, Ergou had a look of curiosity on his face.

At this time, Luo Yong, who was on patrol with a group of guards, also saw this scene and came over immediately.

In terms of identity and status, Luo Yong and Fang Zhengming were comparable, but after meeting Luo Yong, Fang Zhengming knelt down for the first time, and his expression was very submissive, without feeling the slightest sense of humiliation.

"Master Fang, what are you doing? You and I have the same rank, so you don't have to kneel down and salute me."

Luo Yong was startled and quickly reached out to help him.

After Fang Zhengming stood up, he looked at Luo Yong with a flattering face and said: "General Luo, you are a close minister of the Emperor and a general who has made great contributions. I, Fang Zhengming, admire you very much. I kneel down to you, but It’s not because of our two official ranks, but purely out of admiration for you.”

Fang Zhengming can still talk, unlike Luo Yong, who is usually cold-faced, but at this time, after being complimented by Fang Zhengming, Luo Yong couldn't help but reveal a naive smile.

"Master Fang, please don't be so polite in the future. If His Majesty finds out, he will think that I am arrogant because of his favor."

Luo Yong quickly said to Fang Zhengming.

Fang Zhengming nodded slightly, then pointed to a dozen large boxes behind him and said: "General Luo, according to the regulations of the palace, these boxes must be inspected. Please open them quickly and check them. I will go to see His Majesty right away. .”

Luo Yong was a little curious. He didn't know what Fang Zhengming was doing. He brought more than a dozen boxes into the palace. Was he going to give the emperor some gift?

Luo Yong could still distinguish between official matters and private matters. Although Fang Zhengming's compliment just now made Luo Yong quite useful, when it came to official matters, Luo Yong was still very serious. He immediately ordered several of his subordinates to open the box and began to carefully examine.

As the imperial guards, their duty is to ensure the safety of the imperial city and Ning Fan, so nothing that could potentially threaten Ning Fan can be detected in these boxes.

However, after Luo Yong led his men to inspect it, they found that in addition to some house deeds and land deeds, there was also a large amount of banknotes in the box.

Luo Yong was shocked by the denomination and quantity of these banknotes. Just taking out a stack would be enough for a person to enjoy for ten lifetimes.

But Fang Zhengming in front of him used ten large boxes to pack it. It can be seen that the wealth contained in these boxes is almost comparable to the treasury.

"Master Fang, where did you get so much money?"

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Luo Yong knew that he had inquired about something he shouldn't have inquired about. He quickly patted his mouth gently, and then said to Fang Zhengming: "Forget it, this is not something I should know. Mr. Fang, please go and see His Majesty as soon as possible."

Since there were no dangerous items after checking, Luo Yong was relieved. Seeing Fang Zeming leading his men towards the side hall, Luo Yong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and even felt a little sour.

I am a veteran who has followed Ning Fan to conquer the world, and I have worked hard to reach my current position. On the other hand, Fang Zhengming can already be on par with me in just two months.

It would be false to say that there is no imbalance in my heart.

Ergou, who was standing aside, might have seen the imbalance in Luo Yong's heart. He just heard him say lightly: "General Luo, how long does General Luo think a person like Fang Zhengming can live?"

Luo Yong was stunned when he heard Ergou say this off guard. He didn't know what Ergou meant by this.

"Fang Zheng Minggui is the commander of the Jinyi Guards and has elite soldiers and generals in his hands. How could such a person die so easily? His position will only get higher and higher, and he will be more and more appreciated by the emperor."

“It’s even uncertain whether it will climb on top of you or me in the future.”

When Luo Yong spoke later, his tone was obviously filled with jealousy.

When Ergou heard what Luo Yong said, he just smiled and snorted: "You are wrong. People like Fang Zhengming will not live long at all because he has offended too many people."

Luo Yong broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this sentence. He then realized that he could not even compare with the eunuch next to Ning Fan, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart.

Seeing Ergou quickly chasing Fang Zhengming and others, Luo Yong finally calmed down.

He finally realized that his talent may not be as good as those of those with amazing talents. Instead of blindly envying and jealous of others, it is better to do what he is doing right now.

There were casualties among the Guardsmen in a battle last night. Luo Yong has many things to do next, including paying for the fallen soldiers and dealing with the injured.

"Your Majesty, I have searched the rebellious officials in the past few days, and all the property obtained is in these boxes."

Fang Zhengming looked at Ning Fan with a charming look on his face and ordered his men to bring in several large boxes.

Seeing these large vermilion boxes, Ning Fan guessed that they might contain gold and silver treasures. However, even if they were all filled with gold and there were only a dozen large boxes, it would not be considered a great wealth.

After all, as the emperor of Dakang, Ning Fan still had good taste, so he was not too surprised. He just glanced at Fang Zhengming appreciatively and said, "You have worked hard these days, why bother bringing these things?" , just hand it over directly to the Ministry of Accounts."
