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

In Ning Fan's view, the most important thing for an emperor is to have a strategy. Strategy is more important than anything else. As for knowledge and foresight, that is only a small part of the strategy.

But as time went by, the longer Ning Fan sat on the throne, the more he felt that managing a big country was like cooking a small dish. In fact, managing a country is not that difficult, you just need to grasp some of the main contradictions.

As a king, you don't have to do everything yourself, otherwise you may be exhausted to death.

"Will your Majesty take a bath tonight?"

Ning Fan stretched and just stood up, but unexpectedly Xiaoyu came in at this time.

Seeing Xiaoyu's expectant look, Ning Fan immediately knew what this girl was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Wash it, Fengchen Pupu's body is really dirty today."

Ning Fan borrowed the donkey from the slope and took a peek at Xiaoyu. These days, Xiaoyu's figure became more and more exquisite, and Ning Fan became more and more pleased with her.

When Xiaoyu heard that Ning Fan was willing to take a bath, she immediately understood what Ning Fan meant, and her eyes and brows also brought a hint of spring.

These days, he and Ning Fan lived as a couple. During the day, Xiao Lingxi and Ning Fan were inseparable, while at night, Xiaoyu became Ning Fan's personal person.

The hot bath water exuded the aroma of rose petals. The two maids had already prepared it. As soon as Ning Fan walked in, they took off Ning Fan's coat in the smoke.

However, Xiao Yu did not allow others to interfere with the bathing process. He was involved in the whole process. He was tired of taking care of it independently. Although he was a little tired, he made Ning Fan very comfortable. His whole body was washed, and Ning Fan hardly needed to do it himself. How to move.

In the middle of the night, when Ning Fan was sleeping, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps. He got dressed and sat up. Soon there was a cautious knock on the door. It was the eunuch who came to call the door. Ning Fan guessed that It's an urgent matter in the military.

Xiaoyu's reaction was quick. Regardless of the cold weather, he jumped up and put on his clothes and quickly dressed Ning Fan.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report from the front. The White Lotus Sect is leading 500,000 followers and is rushing to Pingnanguan. At this time, it is less than a hundred miles away from Pingnanguan."

The eunuch led the generals in the army and hurriedly reported to Ning Fan about the young general in the army. His face turned pale with fright. After all, if he disturbed the emperor's rest at this time, if the emperor got angry, he might lose his life at any time.

Especially the news brought is not good news, and the emperor is likely to be angry because of it, and he, the person who came to report the news, is the scapegoat.

However, Ning Fan did not get angry this time. After thinking about it, he said to the visitor: "There is no need to be so panicked. You go back first, and I will come and let everyone gather in the middle of the battle. I Countermeasures must be arranged.”

Perhaps Ning Fan acted too calmly, which made the general who came to report the news feel a little incredible. This young emperor of Dakang seemed to be terrifyingly calm. Even though he heard that the enemy army numbered hundreds of thousands, he could not face it. Change color.

After the general who reported the news left, Ning Fan hurriedly said to the eunuch: "Wang Tian probably hasn't left yet. You should call him from the inn quickly. I want to see him."

The eunuch didn't know why Ning Fan wanted to meet a businessman at this time, but he didn't dare to disobey him. He could only follow his hasty instructions and ran towards the outside of the palace. Ning Fan looked at the man's back with a look of confusion. Thinking.

The reason why he chose to summon Wang Tian at this time was because the Wang family controlled the entire business empire in the northwest. In other words, whether it was the northwest rebels or the refugees of the White Lotus Sect, if they wanted to eat food and grass, they had to rely on the Wang family to be behind them. support.

Without the support of businessmen, it would be almost impossible to fight a war. After all, a protracted war requires a steady stream of logistical supplies, not only food and clothing, but also a variety of medicines, weapons, etc. , these cannot be accomplished by one or two businessmen.

As long as the Northwest Rebels and the White Lotus Sect are held back in terms of logistical supplies, then the war will be won. Normally, Ning Fan will only have to fight with these two parties and slowly wear them to death.

The White Lotus Sect and the Northwest Rebels came one after another, which made people wonder whether the two parties had secretly colluded. However, Ning Fan did not panic at all. Firstly, it was because the poverty barrier was too strong. It can't be broken at all.

Another reason is that Ning Fan feels that there are 300,000 northwest rebels and 500,000 leaders of the White Lotus Sect. Although these 800,000 people are many, they are difficult to manage. With so many people and complex personnel, their combat effectiveness is not good at all. For ordinary people, The threat posed by Nan Guan was minimal.

The only thing that makes Ning Fan feel threatened is that when these two parties come to Pingnan Pass, they will cause immeasurable harm to the civilians outside the pass. After all, if these people have no food, they will definitely Loot around.

Wang Tian was hurriedly woken up from his sleep, and the concubine beside him was so frightened that his face turned pale. But when he heard that the emperor summoned him overnight, Wang Tian didn't understand what happened, but he also knew , when the emperor summoned him, there must be something urgent.

As for whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, Wang Tian couldn't decide for a while, so he could only put on his clothes in a hurry. After a few words with his concubine, he followed the eunuch towards the palace.

"This father-in-law, your Majesty summoned you late at night. I don't know what the matter is. Can you give me a few words?"

Wang Tian felt uneasy. He didn't know what happened to an ordinary businessman when Ning Fan summoned him late at night, so he planned to ask the little eunuch.

As businessmen, understanding human nature is their basic ability, so when Wang Tian said these words, a gold ingot quietly entered the little eunuch's sleeve.

The little eunuch reached out and touched the round gold ingot, his face almost turned into a smile. He hurriedly said to Wang Tian: "There is urgent military information from the front. Your Majesty may be useful to Mr. Wang, but Mr. Wang does not need it." I’m afraid His Majesty is in a good mood.”

With just this sentence, Wang Tian felt that the money was well spent. He was almost scared to death just now, but now he took a breath and felt comfortable all over.

It was an honor to be valued by the emperor and be ordered to serve by the emperor. Wang Tian felt that he was walking like a tiger, and his whole mentality changed.

When the two walked into the palace, they saw Ning Fan, who was waiting in the meeting hall. When he saw Wang Tian coming, Ning Fan quickly waved to Wang Tian.

Wang Tian ran a few steps and knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowing to Ning Fan.

"Mr. Wang doesn't need to be polite. He summoned me late at night. I don't know if he disturbed my rest."

Ning Fan quickly gave a few token words of comfort.

Wang Tianxin said that I was almost scared to death just now, but now I am extremely happy. He quickly expressed to Ning Fan that he was not disturbed at all.
