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

A minister actually asked the emperor to greet him personally. This was an explosive situation in any dynasty. Even Yue Ying was a little confused.

But Ning Fan didn't have too many unnecessary explanations. He and Yue Ying took advantage of the night in a carriage and slowly marched towards the suburbs, escorted by hundreds of royal guards.

A full moon hangs high in the sky, next to the spring pavilion in the suburbs. At this time, the grass is desolate and the sky is full of cold moon.

Ning Fan asked the people accompanying him to set up the fire, then warm the wine and serve delicious food.

At this scene, Yueying's eyes were a little blurry. This is the romance that belongs to men. Seeing Ning Fan personally putting a whole sheep on the rack for barbecue, Yueying couldn't help but walked over and started to help.

"Do you think being an emperor means hiding in the palace and hospital every day, surrounded by concubines every day?"

Ning Fan looked at Yueying with a faint smile on his lips.

"Otherwise, does Your Majesty think that an emperor should prepare food with his own hands?"

Yue Ying was a little confused. He didn't know what Ning Fan meant by what he said.

"Don't deify anything or anyone. Even the emperor is still a human being. He has human emotions and a human life."

"For example, tonight you asked me why I came to greet a minister. Maybe in your eyes, it is not necessary or even impossible for me to come to greet a minister, but in my opinion, Zhou Qun is just an old friend of mine who has returned from a long distance. I Is there anything wrong with hosting a banquet to welcome him again? And I cook the food with my own hands. I enjoy the process and fun, and enjoy the feeling of doing it myself. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Ning Fan's series of questions and answers confused Yue Ying.

He found that he really didn't understand Ning Fan. Sometimes Ning Fan was terrifyingly calm, and sometimes Ning Fan was very emotional. In short, Ning Fan was a mysterious figure in Yue Ying's eyes.

"Reporting to your majesty, Mr. Zhou's motorcade will arrive at Chunting soon."

A Jinyi guard came to report, and Ning Fan waved his hand: "Let him come up later."

The bonfire halfway up the mountain could be seen from a distance, and Zhou Qun's convoy naturally saw it too.

Zhou Qun was a little flattered when he heard that the emperor's chariot was greeting him in person again. In his heart, Zhou Qun still had the mentality of a student from the old times. However, after gradually coming into contact with Ning Fan, the sense of class in Zhou Quan's heart gradually faded away. Broken.

Ning Fan had instilled the concept of equality in the world into Zhou Qun more than once. Zhou Qun could not accept it at first, because in Zhou Qun's inherent concept, people have hierarchies, and people are divided into three, six, and nine grades.

But later Ning Fan once told Zhou Qun something, that is, if a baby born to a commoner was raised by nobles and powerful people, the baby would have talents and abilities that did not belong to this class.

This shows that the environment is different, and people's abilities are also different. If the common people are given a sense of humor in life and allowed to study and receive higher education, they will be no worse than the powerful.

Over time, Zhou Qun's thoughts were baptized by Ning Fan, and the deep-rooted ideas of inequality were gradually abandoned.

"Your Majesty actually welcomed me from a distance in person, I am flattered."

Zhou Qun walked up the steps and saw Ning Fan roasting the whole roast lamb on the shelf until it was brown and brown. He was immediately flattered and knelt down towards Ning Fan with a plop.

"Are you overthinking it? I just thought it was dark tonight and I had some fun today, so I came to have a barbecue in the suburbs. It's just that you happened to be passing by, so I asked you to come up and have a few bites and a drink."

Ning Fan laughed.

Yueying on the side was dumbfounded, but Zhou Qun's expression did not change. He stood up and came to the fire diligently, helping to add firewood and make the fire, and also helped Ning Fan prepare the seasonings. His face was full of fatigue from the journey. Completely disappeared in an instant.

Patient Ning Fan took down the roasted whole lamb that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and then placed it on the chopping board and carefully cut it into small pieces. There was a felt cloth on the ground, and several people sat on the ground, eating the fragrant lamb. Chatting.

Ning Fan told Zhou Qun all about the recent murders in Kyoto and the burning of the inn, and after hearing this, Zhou Qun frowned and thought carefully.

"Mr. Zhou, Your Majesty asked me to go to war and completely destroy the entire underground world in Kyoto. Do you think His Majesty has been a little too hasty?"

Yueying did not dare to contradict Ning Fan in front of him, but wanted to use Zhou Qun's words to persuade Ning Fan.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qun's words disappointed Yueying. He did not expect that Zhou Qun's thoughts were the same as Ning Fan's.

"Miss Yueying, you are now the supreme commander of Jin Yiwei. How could you have such childish ideas? I think His Majesty's idea is correct. The demons, demons, ghosts, ghosts and snakes in Kyoto should be completely wiped out. Now is the critical moment. , these people can’t come out to cause trouble.”

Zhou Qun said with a normal expression.

However, after sitting and watching for such a long time, Zhou Qun's bookishness has gradually faded away, and Zhou Qun has been pondering and studying with Ning Fan for a long time, and there is a faint aura of killing and decisiveness in his body.

"Mr. Zhou, do you even think so?"

Yueying's face was full of disbelief.

Zhou Qun glanced at Ning Fan and smiled faintly: "If you just think this is just a murder case, you are totally wrong. The connection behind this is something you can't even imagine. It must be Some people want to sabotage the imperial examination, so they create panic, create public opinion, and create murders. The purpose is to disrupt the stable environment in Kyoto and prevent students from other places from coming to Kyoto to take the exam."

"Miss Yueying, don't you think it's time to take drastic measures at this time?"

Zhou Qun asked back, making Yueying's face full of fear and consternation. She had never thought of problems at this level before.

"These things seem unrelated. How do you feel that these issues are related to the imperial examination? Doesn't reasoning require evidence?"

Yueying covered her mouth with shock on her face.

"Handling cases requires evidence, but politics does not require any evidence. Sometimes you only need some clues, or even just some signs, to take action."

Zhou Qun did not explain too much. For Zhou Qun, suppressing the demons and monsters in Kyoto would be of great benefit to Kyoto and even the entire country. -

In addition to the imperial examination, Ning Fan will also get married soon. If there are still problems with the security of the capital at that time, it will inevitably make the world laugh.

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan's affairs have come to an end. The next reforms in Jiangnan will depend on what Mr. Song Chengzhou does. Everything we can do has been done."
