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

"Your Majesty, actually I have never understood what the role of newspapers is. Is it to let ordinary people know what is happening elsewhere?"

Yueying looked at Ning Fan with a puzzled face and said.

As soon as Yueying said this, Ning Fan and Zhou Qun both smiled helplessly.

Compared with Yueying, she manages Jinyiwei in an orderly manner, but regarding some technical things, Yueying is still too immature, after all, she is too young.

There are some things Yue Ying doesn't understand, and there are some things she still needs to learn.

"If you stay in a temple all day long and listen to monks reciting sutras every day, will you be able to recite a few sentences yourself over time?"

"If you live on the street every day, and your neighbors are doing business every day, then over time, will you also do business? This is a subtle influence. It is actually difficult to change a person's mentality. Yes, it must be affected continuously over a long period of time.”

Ning Fan explained patiently.

"Then why should we influence their thoughts? Isn't it good to let them live according to their own thoughts?"

Yueying became even more confused.

Ning Fan didn't speak this time, but Zhou Qun told Yue Ying a story: "Suppose a village is attacked by horse thieves, and only some people want to resist, while the rest want to escape. What will everyone do at this time?" How can we unify our thoughts? Because once we escape, we will be chased by horse thieves and defeated one by one. In the end, everyone can only wait to die."

"Now you understand the importance of unifying our thoughts. To do something, we must unify everyone's thoughts, influence them subtly, and let them accept our thoughts. At the critical moment when we need to do something, these talents Will stand up and support us."

Zhou Qun's explanation in simple and easy-to-understand terms finally made Yue Ying understand these obvious truths. At the same time, Ning Fan finally saw the problems exposed in Yue Ying. After all, he was a teenage girl. A short education, but the knowledge reserve is still lacking.

"Well, when you have nothing to do, you can join the Fuxing Club, disguise yourself as a man, debate with others as a man and learn some knowledge. After a long time, you will understand all the things you didn't understand before."

Ning Fan actually came up with a good idea, which was to let Yue Ying join the Fuxing Society as a man.

Under the leadership of Ning Fan, the Fuxing Society is now at the forefront of Dakang thought and scholarship. Not only are there numerous talents, but sparks of thought pop up from time to time.

In such a place where a hundred flowers of thought bloom, I believe that Yueying will definitely receive academic baptism, and her knowledge reserve will be further enhanced. In the future, she will continue to shine and exert her own strength in this position.

It wasn't until late at night that the three of them took carriages and returned to Kyoto respectively.

Early the next morning, Zhou Qun entered the court directly.

This official, who has been rumored for a long time and is working hard in Jiangnan, has entered the court, which immediately caused a sensation. The officials whispered to each other and looked uneasy.

When Ning Fan issued an imperial edict to appoint Zhou Qun as prime minister, the whole place was completely silent. All the officials lowered their heads in silent resistance.

After all, Zhou Qun is too young. In the eyes of these officials, there are many people who are older and more capable than Zhou Qun. They don't understand why Ning Fan would choose an unknown man from the wilderness to be the prime minister of Dakang.

And Ning Fan has decided to replace a large number of civil and military officials, so Ning Fan doesn't care at all about the reaction of the civil and military officials. Now that he has Jinyi guards to control the government, what these officials say and do will matter to Ning Fan. Say it doesn't matter.

Zhou Quan, who had changed into a vermilion official uniform after retiring from the court, came to the Dongnuan Pavilion in the harem.

At this time, Zhou Qun was walking vigorously, with a beaming look on his face. After all, in just two years, Zhou Qun was promoted from a commoner to the prime minister of Dakang by Ning Fan. This honor lasts forever. Never before.

"As prime minister, you have two powers that you must hold in your hands. The first is the power of personnel. All civil and military officials in the country will have to leave your hands if they want to obtain official positions in the future. For officials with more than three, I will personally issue the imperial edict. , officials below the third rank will be appointed at your discretion."

"The second is financial power. I want you to keep an eye on the world's money for me. Wang Tian is the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I'm really worried about him. His business ability is good, but his ability to manage the world's money and food is still lacking. .”

As soon as Zhou Qun sat down, Ning Fan expressed his two opinions.

The Prime Minister and the Six Ministries have the power to govern the six ministries. It can be said that one person is less than ten thousand people.

Now that Ning Fan has Zhou Qun as his right-hand man, the pressure in the court will be greatly reduced in the future, and he will no longer have to do everything in detail.

"The most important thing for your Majesty right now is that after the imperial examination, you will reach the northwest. Of course, your Majesty has great military skills and talents. I don't need to worry about these things, but I still want to say that you must beware of the Huns in the northwest."

Zhou Qun has obviously thought deeply about the game of Kyoto. He has already thought about the role Ning Fan wants him to play. He and Ning Fan have already been highly consistent in their thinking. The cooperation between the monarch and his ministers has been tacitly understood. The mind is in tune.

"The Huns dare not make trouble for the time being, but they must be prepared."

Ning Fan nodded solemnly.

Before the rebellion in the northwest has been completely put down, the Huns in the northwest are indeed a worry for Ning Fan, and Ning Fan is getting married soon. Should he recall the northwest general Xiao Chong? This is something Ning Fan has been hesitant about.

Logically speaking, Xiao Chong is his old father-in-law, and his daughter is getting married to Xiao Chong. The marquis will naturally return from the border, but who to send to replace Xiao Chong is definitely a problem.

Ning Fan originally thought that Xiao Zhong was someone who stood by his side to support him, but later Ning Fan gradually understood that Xiao Zhong did not take any side, and the troops under his command were also for the defense of the northwest. raw.

Xiao Chong has never participated in political struggles and has always kept himself out of the world. Even if it is about his daughter, Xiao Chong will not interfere.

With such a border defense general, Ning Fan can naturally rest assured.

"By the way, you have just arrived in Kyoto. You don't have any family members or a mansion in Kyoto. I have already found this place for you. If you see how this location looks like, I will ask Ergou to take you to see it right away. In fact, I have already arranged it for you very early. The search has been completed.”

Ning Fan pointed to a mansion on the picture.
