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

Ergou was hesitant to speak, and the look on his face became more and more embarrassing. Ning Fan didn't hear Ergou's response. When he looked up and saw Ergou's face, he immediately realized that something might be wrong.

"No way. Surrounded by hundreds of royal guards, an accident can still happen. Could it be that the murderer is a god?"

Ning Fan put down the pen he was using to review the memorial and looked at Er Gou in shock.

"Your Majesty, this matter may indeed have some evil nature. The death of the third deceased was exactly the same as that of the third statue. His head was cut off and the victim was allowed to hold it with his hands..."

Ergou's voice trembled slightly when he spoke. It was obvious that this incident had a great impact on Ergou's psychology.

Ning Fan's expression was calm, as if this incident had not affected him in any way. However, after a long while, Ning Fan put down the memorial in his hand, stood up, and came to the window with his hands behind his back.

The position that Ning Fan was looking at was the location of the Great Xiangguo Temple. According to the position of the window where Ning Fan was standing, he could just overlook the entire Great Xiangguo Temple.

"It seems that there is a mole within their chamber of commerce, and there is also a problem with the monks within the Daxiangguo Temple. I am not in a hurry to investigate this matter, but the reason behind it is a bit intriguing."

Ning Fan frowned tightly, thinking about the other party's real secret hidden behind the dark shadows.

Everything in this world must have a reason in the end. Businessmen from Dabo Kingdom were killed one after another in strange ways. There must be some unspeakable secret reason behind this.

"Your Majesty, the Chief of Ceremonies has come here several times to ask if your wedding will be held as scheduled?"

Ergou whispered behind Ning Fan.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter in the yard. Ning Fan looked and found that it was Xina, Concubine Rong and others.

Normally, Huang Yumeng rarely spends time with Xina and the others. Most of the time, she prefers to be quiet. Most of the time, she sits alone in her bedroom, drinking tea and playing the piano.

In fact, Ning Fan didn't know why Huang Yumeng could endure loneliness. She didn't read or write every day. She only drank tea and sometimes meditated, sitting for a whole day.

Ning Fan was in a state of confusion. His mind was full of scenes of having sex with Huang Yumeng last night. It took him a long time to react.

"Has the general arrived?"

Ning Fan suddenly remembered General Xiao Zhongzhong, as a general who rushed back to Kyoto from the northwest border for his daughter's marriage.

"The Marquis of Zhenyuan is already waiting outside."

Ergou said quickly.

This was the future father-in-law, so naturally he would not stand and wait. Instead, eunuchs brought tables and benches and served fragrant tea.

"Let him in."

Ning Fan had high hopes for Xiao Zhong at the beginning, but later during the fight for the throne, Xiao Zhong chose to stand with his hands behind his back and watch, which gave Ning Fan another perspective on this well-off general.

It's not that he dislikes Xiao Zhong, it's just that the close feeling in his heart was slowly erased in the cruel struggle. Now in Ning Fan's eyes, Xiao Zhong is just an ordinary relationship.

"Your Majesty, the General of Zhenyuan, Xiao Zhong, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, is here to see Your Majesty."

Xiao Zhong was dressed in casual clothes, neatly dressed, except for the few gray hairs on his temples, which gave him an air of vicissitudes of life.

He still walked like a tiger with a strong momentum. After walking in from the outside, he calmed down and knelt there like a little sheep.

"General, get up quickly. This time I'm returning to Kyoto from the northwest. It's been a tiring ride all the way. I'm about to go to my house in person to express my condolences."

Ning Fan said a few polite words and asked Ergou to bring the chair.

"Your Majesty, the war in the northwest is coming to an end. The remaining rebel forces have basically been wiped out by General Chen Qiao."

Ning Fan has always been in control of the situation in the northwest, but Xiao Zhong, a bystander, can't see it more clearly. After all, Xiao Zhong is at the northwest border and has a clear view of the fighting situation in the northwest.

Ning Fan was naturally refreshed when he suddenly heard such good news. He nodded with a slight smile on his lips: "I didn't expect what happened in the northwest at the beginning. Chen Qiao was originally just a fourth-class alien." General, no one has ever seen any military talent in him, and no one would have thought that such a person could create miracles in just a few months."

"About General Chen Qiao, many of the legends in the market are related to His Majesty. In short, His Majesty has a keen eye for people. If His Majesty hadn't discovered such a military genius, I am afraid that the war in the northwest would have continued to be delayed for a while. "

Chen Qiao's incident also had an impact on Xiao Zhong. After all, for such a veteran who had fought all his life, seeing the situation in the northwest as if it were overwhelming, Xiao Zhong, as a soldier, also felt envious.

Making a successful career is the ultimate dream of every soldier, and Chen Qiao achieved it in just a few months.

You must know that this credit is enough for Chen Qiao to last a lifetime. With this credit, Chen Qiao put down a huge rebellion in the northwest. This is not something ordinary people can do, and it can be recorded in the annals of history.

"Time is destiny, and times create heroes. If it hadn't been for the Northwest Rebellion, who would have known that such a humble general would turn out to be a surprisingly successful young general."

Ning Fan was also sighing with a smile on his face. When he mentioned Chen Qiao, the general he had personally discovered and promoted, Ning Fan felt extremely comfortable.

"By the way, how is the situation with the Huns? Originally, I was worried that they would take advantage of the instability in the northwest to unite with the rebels to plot against us. But now that the rebellion in the northwest has basically ended, even if the Huns want to Whatever action you take, I'm afraid it's just a tactic to avoid being used against a rat."

Ning Fan was in a good mood and breathed a long sigh of relief. In fact, he had always been worried about the Huns.

If the rebels in the northwest jump over the wall and collude with the Huns, the entire north of Dakang will be in danger. Even the 300,000 troops stationed at the border will face internal and external difficulties.

The two chatted for a while about the northwest border, and then the topic naturally returned to the wedding.

If the emperor wants to marry any woman, his ministers cannot refuse her.

Therefore, Xiao Chong has no decision-making power regarding this marriage. He can only obey and make things as perfect as possible.

All they could say to each other were some polite words. There were no other words besides polite words. Not long after, Xiao Chong walked out of Ning Fan's palace, his face His expression looked a little worried.

Xiao Zhong left with his front foot, and Zhou Qun hurriedly came with his back foot.
