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

At this time, Ergou helped Xiao Chong up and whispered in Xiao Chong's ear: "Let's explain the matter clearly later. Admit your mistakes when it's time to admit them. You will soon be His Majesty's father-in-law."

Xiao Zhong nodded solemnly, turned around and walked into the palace, kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

"Can you control the things in the northwest? If you can't control it, I will immediately ask Chen Yuanqing from Jiangnan to lead an army of 100,000 people directly to the north."

Ning Fan stared at Xiao Chong coldly.

In fact, Ning Fan now has three cards in his hand that he can play. Even if the northwest frontier army commits rebellion, Ning Fan is not so panicked. It's just that the situation is very good now, and Ning Fan doesn't want to cause trouble.

In addition to the Chen Yuanqing Corps in Jiangnan, Ning Fan also has Huang Chao Corps and Chen Qiao Corps. These three trump cards are all victorious teams.

Even if they meet the border troops who have been fighting the Huns all year round, their strength is not much different.

"I can generally control the situation in the northwest. I just need to ask for your Majesty's instructions on how to handle the matter of Prince Ning Qing."

Xiao Zhong considered the words and spoke to Ning Fan humbly.

Hearing what Xiao Zhong said, Ning Fan suddenly became angry. He slammed the table and stood up suddenly, pointing at Xiao Zhong's nose and yelling: "Have you always thought that you are loyal to the imperial court? Have you always thought that you are loyal to the court?" You are loyal to the people of Dakang and Liming, but in fact you are just a confused person."

Ning Fan's scolding made Xiao Zhong confused. He didn't know why Ning Fan suddenly became angry.

"I will tell you today that you are wrong, and very wrong! You think that you have done your duty by not interfering in the government affairs of the court, staying away from politics, and guarding the borders properly. In fact, this is a big mistake. ”

"The bounden duty of a soldier is not to guard the border, but to obey orders. If soldiers don't obey orders, then what use do I need these soldiers? Guarding the border, I can replace it with someone else, so why use your smelly and hard body? Mao pit stones?"

Ning Fan was really angry and showed no mercy. He was sarcastic towards Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong knelt on the ground and did not dare to express his anger. He lowered his head with a look of shame on his face. He admitted that Ning Fan was right. Sometimes Xiao Chong actually reflected on himself, but he had been like this all his life. Life is about to come to a close, and it is not easy to change.

"I know I was wrong, but this mess in the northwest can't be dealt with now. I must return to the northwest. Even if Your Majesty wants to replace the border troops in the northwest, you need to do it slowly, and you cannot replace them all at once."

Xiao Zhong thought for a while and then said sincerely to Ning Fan.

His daughter was about to marry the man in front of him. Xiao Chong felt a heartfelt paternal love for Ning Fan at this moment and had no thoughts of rebellion.

So at this moment, he put himself in Ning Fan's shoes and put aside his previous obsession.

"Regarding Ning Qing's matter, you should deal with it immediately after you return to the northwest. Don't touch him and have him sent to Kyoto."

"If someone runs away, you don't have to look for them."

Ning Fan motioned for Xiao Zhong to stand up, and Ergou moved the chair at this time.

Xiao Chong was confused by Ning Fan's words. He didn't know what Ning Fan meant. Shouldn't it be time to eliminate the root cause? Why do we still want to keep Ning Qing as a scourge?

"Your Majesty, can you please say a word? Prince Ning Qing is a headstrong man with great ambitions and few talents. It is useless to keep him. If he is allowed to escape, there will only be greater troubles in the future. Your Majesty, it is better to eliminate the root cause once and for all."

Xiao Chong rarely made such suggestions, but at this time, for Ning Fan, he could not do the first evil thing in his life.

In fact, although Xiao Zhong had killed many people in his life, it was all fighting against foreigners and killing those Huns. Xiao Zhong had a clear conscience, but if he was asked to do those intrigues and power struggles, he had never participated in them.

But this time Xiao Zhong decided not to be aloof anymore. For the sake of his daughter, he decided to give it a try and remove Ning Qing's stumbling block for Ning Fan no matter what.

"There's no need to root out the roots. After all, Ning Qing is my eldest brother and has a blood connection. Send him to Kyoto and choose a place to care for him and let him spend the rest of his life in peace. If he wants to leave, let him go. , Such salted fish can’t actually make any waves.”

Ning Fan smiled indifferently. In fact, he didn't take Ning Qing into his heart at all. He was only worried about the northwest frontier army. If the northwest frontier army could be firmly controlled by Xiao Chong, then the prince Ning Qing would be nothing. .

"Is this really okay?"

Xiao Chong was a little unbelievable. The hearts of emperors have always been cruel. He never expected that Lin Fan could let Ning Qing go so generously.

"It will be more painful to let him live than to kill him. Let him witness my grand ambitions with his own eyes. Doesn't he want to compete with me? Let him witness with his own eyes what this world will become in the future."

There was a trace of pride on the corner of Ning Fan's mouth. He didn't even bother to eradicate the root cause.

Xiao Chong seemed to have never known Ning Fan before. At this moment, he finally realized the loneliness in Ning Fan's heart, and finally realized the powerful emperor's heart in Ning Fan's heart. At this moment, Xiao Chong finally gave in.

"Nachen set off overnight and rushed to the northwest to eliminate this hidden danger as quickly as possible."

Xiao Chong gritted his teeth and decided to rush to the northwest overnight.

"You are not too young, so you don't have to be too anxious on your way. I will mobilize the army and set up many checkpoints along the way to prevent unexpected events, but you can only send 800 miles to rush and put your own I want to tell my close associates to stabilize the situation there first, and then we can deal with it when we get there."

Ning Fan had already thought of a solution for Xiao Zhong.

Xiao Chong is not young anymore, he is over 50 years old this year. It is very rare in this era that such a body and bones can still be powerful.

After sending Xiao Zhong away, Ning Fan was no longer sleepy. He sat alone by the window, looking at the full moon in the sky, thinking about something in his heart. After thinking about it, Ergou brought a pen and paper , Ning Fan continues his creation.

"Your Majesty, what is the name of your book? Is it almost finished?"

Ergou looked closer and found that Ning Fan was writing a novel.

"This one is called Yi Tian, ​​and it's the third sequel to The Condor and The Condor."

Ning Fan didn't hide it.

He is now rewriting these novels not because Ning Fan wants to make money, but for Dakang's future cultural soft power.

Just like Ning Fan said before, the Dakeng now has the momentum of dominating the east.
