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

After hearing Xiao Lingxi's words, Xiao Zhong fell into silence. As a professional soldier, he has always been unwilling to interfere in political affairs, but this time Emperor Dafeng secretly entered the military camp of the Northwest Frontier Army, which posed a big problem for Xiao Zhong.

Emperor Dafeng was the former crown prince and the eldest brother of the current Saint Ning Fan. He suddenly appeared in the military camp in the northwest. Some generals who were nostalgic naturally couldn't bear to take action against Emperor Dafeng.

If Emperor Dafeng was allowed to gain a foothold in the northwest military camp, once the 300,000 troops of the northwest frontier army fell into the hands of Ning Qing, the entire Dakang would fall into separatism and rebellion again.

"Father, how could you be so confused? You must know that you made a big mistake if you did not report the news to His Majesty as soon as possible. If you are still hesitating at this time, then my daughter really has nothing to say."

Xiao Lingxi stamped her feet anxiously.

Xiao Chong seemed to have finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth, stood up and walked outside: "I will enter the palace immediately and tell His Majesty the news."

Ning Fan had just fallen asleep with Huang Yumeng, who was as soft as jade, in his arms.

I don't know if it's because of burning incense and chanting sutras all day long, but Huang Yumeng always has a refreshing smell on her body. It's hard to describe the smell, but it always makes people feel peaceful and relaxed.

The two hugged each other and whispered, and Ning Fan felt that all the fatigue in recent days had dissipated. After all, the person in his arms was as gentle as jade and considerate. No matter what worries he had, he didn't need to take them to heart at this time.

Just when Ning Fan was about to turn over and take the next step, the eunuch's hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

When the emperor stayed in the concubine's womb at night, the eunuch would not disturb him unless there was something serious, so when he heard the eunuch's hurried footsteps, Ning Fan stood up and got dressed.

Although Huang Yumeng was a little reluctant, she started to turn over and help Ning Fan button up. While helping Ning Fan get dressed, she whispered to Ning Fan to be calmer and not to be impulsive.

"What will happen at this time?"

Ning Fan was a little uneasy because Ergou's voice could be heard outside the door. Ergou's tone was a little different from usual, with hoarseness and fear.

"Stop yelling, it's coming soon."

Ning Fan got dressed and walked to the front hall, where he saw Ergou standing there with a pale face and his body still shaking a little.

"what happened?"

Ning Fan asked with a cold face.

He had been forgetting sleep and food for days. He finally had some time to relax today. Unexpectedly, he encountered something like this, which would put no one in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, General Xiao Zhongzhong is here and brings news about the whereabouts of Prince Ning Qing."

Ergou tried his best to lower his voice.

When Ning Fan heard Er Gou mention the word Ning Qing, his body couldn't help but trembled. However, his face was calm and he walked steadily outside, while Er Gou followed closely.

Ning Fan kept a cold face and said nothing along the way. He was thinking in his mind, what kind of trouble would Ning Qing want to cause this time? The world is now controlled by Ning Fan. What trump card does Ning Qing have at this time?

Suddenly Ning Fan thought of one thing, and that was the Northwest Frontier Army. The Northwest Frontier Army consisted of 300,000 people. They were absolutely loyal to the imperial court, but the relationship between the Northwest Frontier Army and the imperial court had always been somewhat alienated.

This relationship is very subtle, that is, according to Ning Fan's understanding, the border troops in the northwest are only loyal to the country, not to the emperor himself. They protect the territory of Dakang rather than the imperial court.

And this time when Xiao Chong entered the palace late at night, there must have been some commotion in the northwest. At this time, he heard Ergou talking about Ning Qing's affairs. Ning Fan had already guessed that after the rebellion in the northwest was put down, Ning Qing was desperate. , Gouji jumped over the wall and sneaked into the northwest frontier army camp.

The northwest frontier army has a total of 300,000 people, which is related to the northwest barrier of the entire Dakang.

It would have been better if Xiao Zhong was in the northwest. No matter what, Ning Fan believed that Xiao Zhong would not be confused. But now Xiao Zhong is in Kyoto, and Ning Fan is not familiar with the situation in the northwest frontier. If Ning Qing really took advantage of the situation and took control of the border army, the harm to the entire Dakang would be devastating.

"What did Xiao Chong say?"

Ning Fan gritted his teeth.

When he saw Xiao Zhong in the middle of the night today, Ning Fan felt that Xiao Zhong's expression was a little abnormal. Thinking about it, Xiao Zhong should have known the news from the northwest at that time, but Xiao Zhong kept the news secret and kept it secret. The concealment continued, and now Ning Fan had the urge to directly send Xiao Chong to prison, or even cut him into pieces.

"The general didn't say anything. He just said that he had something urgent to do and wanted to see His Majesty. After the old slave asked several times, General Xiao revealed that it was related to the former prince Ning Qing."

Ergou was also in a panic, following Ning Fan and even lost his shoes.

"I asked you to build the West Factory. How did that happen?"

Not only was Ning Fan not in a hurry at this time, but he was in a mood to start talking to Ergou about other things.

This is the necessary ability for an emperor, that is, the ability to withstand stress. When encountering something, just be angry and lose your mind to blame. Resentment is of no use. The first thing to do when encountering a problem is to calm down. Come down and go figure it out.

Ning Fan was calm enough now. He forced himself to calm down and not think about the consequences, but how to solve the problem.

"The team of Xichang has been basically established. Currently, there are about several hundred people. These people must ensure their absolute loyalty to His Majesty and their ability. The number of people in Xichang is good or not."

Ergou was asked by Ning Fan about going to the West Field, but he explained it clearly and told Ning Fan the details and organizational methods.

"You have done well. I will give you greater abilities in the future. However, you must pay attention to loyalty on the one hand and ability on the other. Don't forget about the other aspect, which is the restraint on these people. Everything is We must follow the law and give you rights, but you are not allowed to do whatever you want."

Ning Fan warned Ergou while walking.

In fact, Ning Fan's words were not just a shot in the dark, but the current Jin Yiwei has shown signs of success. It has too much power and will inevitably become arrogant and domineering over time. This is the purpose of Ning Fan's establishment of the West Factory. , in order for Jinyiwei and Xichang to supervise each other and check and balance each other.

The two of them came to Nuange while talking. At this time, Xiao Chong was standing at the door. When he saw Ning Fan coming, he quickly knelt on the ground.

Ning Fan snorted coldly, walked past Xiao Zhong, ignored him, and walked directly into the palace.
