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

Moreover, Ning Fan has been observing the sky recently and noticed that there should be rain recently. As long as a heavy rain falls, these locusts will naturally have nowhere to hide, and then the locust plague will be completely over.

"General Chen plans to do something secretly and catch more locusts so that he can earn some face in front of His Majesty in the future."

Song Chengzhou said to Ning Fan.

"Chen Yuanqing is still very good. I found him among the crowd and gradually promoted him. Facts have proved that he did not disappoint me."

Speaking of Chen Yuanqing, Ning Fan is still very satisfied. After all, Chen Yuanqing's growth has been witnessed by Ning Fan. This kid has grown step by step from a dull young man to the current general. Ning Fan's guidance is among them, and of course more of it. His own efforts.

Seeing that Ning Fan was happy, Song Chengzhou couldn't bear it. He said to Ning Fan in a low voice with a complex expression.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something. If I don't say it, I will feel very uncomfortable in my heart. But if I say it, I am afraid that Your Majesty will think that I am making trouble."

Song Chengzhou seemed very cautious, as if he didn't dare to say anything more.

When Ning Fan saw Song Chengzhou hesitating, he was speechless again. Song Chengzhou managed Jiangnan so well. The great rivers and mountains in Jiangnan have a great relationship with Song Chengzhou. Ning Fan now trusts Song Chengzhou very much.

"Master Song, you are an old minister and you have worked hard and achieved great results. No matter what you say, I will not blame you."

Ning Fan turned around and looked at Song Chengzhou, which was a reassurance for him.

As expected, Song Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ning Fan say this. After thinking for a while, he looked at Ning Fan in a cautious tone and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about letting General Chen lead the Dragon Scale Army for a long time? Over time, this Dragon Scale Army will no longer be the Dragon Scale Army, but the Chen Family Army. Once a team is branded by one person, if His Majesty wants to command this team in the future, he must pass this person. …”

After Song Chengzhou said these words, he seemed to have used all his strength. After he finished speaking, he was sweating profusely and looked at Ning Fan in horror.

Ning Fan was also a little surprised. She never expected that Song Chengzhou would say such words to her, but Ning Fan soon felt relieved. In fact, this problem was very common in the era of the feudal dynasty.

An army often needs to be branded with a general, so that such an army can have combat effectiveness. However, if this is not done, then the soldiers will not know the generals, and the generals will not know the soldiers, and it will be difficult to cooperate with each other.

Although letting a general lead a personal team to fight is very effective, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the soldiers in this team only follow the orders of their generals, and some soldiers even do not even know who the emperor is. have no idea.

I believe that as long as their general pulls out his sword and orders them to rebel, these soldiers will rush up without hesitation.

"The problem Master Song mentioned does exist, but I still trust Chen Yuanqing."

Ning Fan thought for a while, and then gave Song Chengzhou a reassurance.

"General Chen is indeed trustworthy and loyal to His Majesty. What's more, when he pacified Jiangnan, General Chen Yuanqing worked hard and made great efforts. If Your Majesty were to change someone at this time, it would inevitably be a problem. Those soldiers were heartbroken."

Song Chengzhou seemed to know Ning Fan's thoughts very well.

At this time, Ning Fan heard Song Chengzhou's remarks and nodded in agreement.

"Actually, Your Majesty does not need to replace General Chen. Instead, he should reform the system and establish a figure in the army who can check and balance General Chen. If they involve each other and check and balance each other, then this team will always be loyal to Your Majesty."

As a veteran of the generation, Song Chengzhou was loyal to the emperor Ning Fan, because he saw with his own eyes the dilapidated scene in Jiangnan, which was brought to life in Ning Fan's hands.

He also saw with his own eyes how the overwhelming locusts were controlled by Ning Fan. In Song Chengzhou's eyes, Ning Fan was a truly wise king and could be called the emperor of the ages.

Being able to give one or two opinions to such a person would definitely leave his name in history, so Song Chengzhou couldn't care less at this time.

After Ning Fan thought about it for a while, he felt that what Song Chengzhou said made sense. In ancient times, if the emperor was not confident about a general, he would send a supervisor, who was often a eunuch.

The supervisory army has great power and represents the emperor.

However, many times these eunuchs often do not know how to command the military indiscriminately, causing the generals to make mistakes in command, thus causing huge troubles to the war. Therefore, Ning Fan will never follow this old path, but he has thought of a new way, which is to Send a political commissar to the army.

Of course, the name political commissar is not suitable for this era, so Ning Fan decided to equip Chen Yuanqing with a soldier. The right to join the army is second only to Chen Yuanqing. He also has military decision-making power. Many things need to be signed by the soldier and the general at the same time, or both at the same time. Only with a seal can the order be issued.

This will eliminate the trouble of the general becoming a dominant family in the army and turning the entire court team into his own private army.

"Master Song's reminder is not bad. After I return, I will discuss it with Zhou Qun and send one to each legion to join the army."

Ning Fan said to Song Chengzhou.

Song Chengzhou originally thought that Ning Fan would be furious, but Ning Fan actually listened to his opinion with an open mind, which made Song Chengzhou extremely happy. In fact, the generals outside who support their troops and respect themselves have always been Song Chengzhou's biggest concern. The country of Kang finally welcomed a wise monarch.

The entire country will also usher in two hundred years of national destiny. When the entire country is prosperous and developing smoothly, Song Chengzhou will never allow anything else to happen.

"Your Majesty, it seems that this locust plague is not too troublesome. You just came up with a few methods to completely suppress this locust plague. It seems that the natural disaster is not irreversible."

Song Chengzhou stood beside Ning Fan and said sincerely.

He really admired Ning Fan, rather than flattering him. In Song Chengzhou's mind, Ning Fan was a wise king comparable to the ancient saints.

"You just need to remember these two sentences: everything depends on man, and man can conquer nature. Human power is endless. Instead of drifting with the tide and letting nature take its course, it is better to resist and take the initiative to transform."

Ning Fan took the opportunity to speak to Song Chengzhou.

After patrolling for a day, Ning Fan felt that all the bones in his body were aching, but seeing the locust plague being slowly suppressed, Ning Fan was still very happy in his heart.
