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

"Your Majesty has his own considerations. He is a very strange person. His thoughts are different from those of everyone in our era. Have you not noticed that sometimes what he does is really right?"

After Xiao Lingxi heard Xiaoyu's complaint, not only was she not angry, but she had a soft smile on her face.

Being able to marry Ning Fan has been Xiao Lingxi's long-cherished wish. Since she and Ning Fan have known each other for so long, Xiao Lingxi's love for Ning Fan has grown day by day.

In the marriage of this era, women have very little autonomy. It is extremely difficult to meet their future husband before marriage. If they are in love, it is simply a blessing.

As for the specifications of the wedding and how grand it would be, Xiao Lingxi didn't care at all. What she wanted was Ning Fan, not these false pomps.

"Miss, you can't say that. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. If we don't do it grandly, we will always have some regrets in the future."

Xiaoyu wanted to say something else, but Xiao Lingxi waved her hand to stop her.

"I'm going to write a letter to my father right now. I'm afraid my father has anticipated this. I just don't know if he will be able to come back in time for the ceremony."

When Xiao Lingxi thought of her deceased mother, she couldn't help but feel sad and her eyes turned red.

When encountering such a big event in life, her mother cannot participate in it, and only Xiao Lingxi can experience all the feelings alone for so many years.

Ning Fan gave the Supervisor of Ceremonies one month to prepare, and one month later the emperor would get married.

The next day, an imperial edict was sent to the Xiao family and the border gate respectively. The emperor's wedding must have three coins of the sixth grade. Everything was in accordance with the etiquette system. More than 20 large boxes were carried in by the eunuchs in charge of rituals. The Xiao family, seeing this astonishing scene, even the other officials living in the alley were stunned.

The family members of the officials were standing at both ends of the alley, and some were standing on the walls of their homes. Seeing this scene from a distance, they all knew that the Xiao family was probably going to be prosperous this time, and that they would never be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth.

The master was not at home, so Butler Wang had full authority to handle the matter. As a young lady, Xiao Lingxi just stood in the attic and watched all this quietly. For some reason, the breeze ruffled the flowers in the garden, and Xiao Lingxi There are thousands of flowers in my heart, blooming at this time.

When Xiao Lingxi did not take over, Xina had the final say on matters in the harem. However, Xina was always too playful and had no experience in presiding over this matter. Therefore, in addition to the chief ceremonial supervisor, the emperor's wife Concubine Rong also participated. Many details of this matter were finalized by Concubine Rong herself.

For the wedding, Concubine Rong also ran to Ning Fan's palace again and again. There was a lot of discussion in the palace, but Xina called all the long-mouthed palace maids to her palace, and slapped each of them twenty times. Only then did the trend of rumors in the palace be curbed.

Ning Fan was about to hold his wedding. This incident did not cause much commotion in the court. On the contrary, Wang Tian, ​​a wealthy businessman from the northwest, suddenly came to Beijing, which caused a huge response in the entire Kyoto.

The first reaction is that Wang Tian is from the northwest, and the northwest is currently in a state of rebellion. It is unknown whether Wang Tian and the northwest rebels have colluded.

The second reaction is that Wang Tian does not have any family background or inheritance background. He suddenly wants to become a high-ranking member of the imperial court from an ordinary businessman, which is unacceptable to many people.

Impeachment memorials from officials came like a snowflake, and even a large number of officials came to Ning Fan every afternoon to be lobbyists.

After lunch, Ning Fan was summoning Wang Tian in Dongnuan Pavilion. He hadn't seen him for a few days. Wang Tian looked a lot darker and thinner, but he was more energetic.

"Your Majesty, the chaos in the northwest should be over in a few months."

Wang Tian carefully sat under Ning Fan and spoke very carefully.

Ning Fan put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Wang Tian with admiration: "The reason why Chen Qiao is invincible in this land in the northwest is probably because of the support of your Wang Family Chamber of Commerce behind him. I don't believe it. With Chen Qiao’s ability, he can raise food so easily!”

Ning Fan revealed the secret with one word, but Wang Tian did not want to show his merit. He just smiled reservedly and nodded to Ning Fan to express that he should do all this. Serving for the imperial court means thinking about the overall situation of the northwest. , if the northwest is stabilized as soon as possible, then the Wang family's business can be restored as soon as possible.

"Why didn't I realize that you are very good at talking, and what you say is very comfortable to listen to."

Ning Fan pointed at Wang Tian and couldn't stop the look of approval on his face.

"How's it going? How much did your Wang family spend on the military in the northwest this time? I will compensate you from the treasury in the future. This is a national matter and you cannot let your family pay."

Ning Fan looked at Wang Tian seriously and said.

This is not because Ning Fan is being polite, but because business matters are handled in a public manner. It is an open matter for the Wang family's origin court to separate official matters from private matters, but this time Wang Tian raises military salary for Chen Qiao, it is a private matter.

In fact, Ning Fan also has another worry, that is, if Wang Tian and Chen Qiao interact so frequently, will they establish a deeper relationship in the future?

You must know that Chen Qiao is a man with strong fighting ability and outstanding military talents. In the future, Ning Fan will be trained as a sharp knife.

If such a person secretly colludes with the court ministers, then this is what the king is most looking forward to, and Ning Fan has to guard against it.

As a businessman, Wang Tian naturally knew nothing about politics. He could not understand Ning Fan's subtext, let alone what Ning Fan meant.

When he heard Ning Fan ask this question, he waved his hands in confusion and said to Ning Fan with a look of fear: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. It is our royal family's honor to work for the imperial court. If there is no imperial army to put down the rebellion, Then our Wang family’s losses will be even greater.”

Ning Fan observed Wang Tian carefully and found that he really had no other ideas, so he left the matter behind.

"Actually, I summoned you to Beijing this time for another reason. I want you to give up your identity as a businessman and come to serve the country. You are also very knowledgeable in doing business. I want you to lead businessmen across the country. Do business and make everyone rich.”

Ning Fan looked at Wang Tian and said slowly.

In fact, before Wang Tian was summoned, he had no idea what the emperor was summoning him for. When he heard Ning Fan say this, he was stunned, as if he had been given a restraining technique.

"Your Majesty may not be able to do it at this time. Firstly, Wang is a talented person with little knowledge and may not have such great ability to live up to His Majesty's expectations. Secondly, our Wang family has been businessmen for generations and has no experience in being an official at all. With an official status, how is it possible to become a high-ranking member of the imperial court all of a sudden?"
