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

Now, as soon as Ning Fan opened his mouth, he wanted to make Shen Mengxi a marquis. Shen Mengxi's face turned as red as if he had been given blood, and she looked at Ning Fan in disbelief.

"Don't think I'm joking. You have no joke. Since I said it, I can do it."

Ning Fan's expression became solemn again.

"Okay! If you can't do it in half a year, I'll come and see you then."

Shen Mengxi gritted her teeth and said to Ning Fan.

Flowers bloomed and fell, people came and went, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Just a month before, the steam locomotive had completely completed all experiments.

Under the auspices of Ning Fan, the steam train made a whining whistle, puffed out white smoke, and marched along the rails at an increasingly faster speed. The surrounding officials were stunned. Expression, because no one has ever seen such a big iron guy running at such a fast speed.

Although a month had passed since the incident, Ning Fan still couldn't help but curl up his lips when he thought of that exciting scene.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing and cold outside. You'd better come inside."

Xiao Lingxi brought a goose feather cloak and put it on Ning Fan, but Ning Fan shook his head. His blood was boiling and his whole body was steaming. He didn't feel cold at all. When he raised his head, he saw the sky. He didn't know what. Snowflakes were already falling.

The scattered snowflakes look particularly beautiful.

As soon as Ning Fan stretched out his hand, a few snowflakes fell on his palm, but because of the temperature in his palm, these snowflakes melted quickly.

"More than half a year has passed, why is there still no news about Qin Ying's fleet?"

Ning Fan frowned and couldn't help but feel worried.

Anything can happen on the vast sea, especially under huge winds and waves. Wooden ships in this era may not be able to withstand such huge winds and waves.

In addition to accidents such as wind and waves, there are also various accidents at sea, such as encountering reefs, food shortages, ammunition shortages, diseases, etc.

"Your Majesty! Good news, good news, Your Majesty."

A young eunuch was shouting and running in the distance, while Ning Fan, who was standing in the yard, raised his eyes and looked over in surprise.

He saw the little eunuch holding paper in his hand, lying on the ground, then getting up again and continuing to run, looking excited.

"There is no decency to be in such a panic. Even if it is a big matter, we should proceed slowly and speak slowly, so as not to lose the royal dignity."

Ergou stopped the young eunuch, scolded him and took the memorial away from him.

The little eunuch saw that all the credit he had received was about to disappear, and his face was full of frustration. Unexpectedly, Ergou turned his head and said coldly: "Follow me, and you will tell His Majesty in person later." Condition."

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ergou to be so generous. Not only did he not take away his credit, but he also wanted to allow himself to meet His Majesty in person. You must know that although he is in the palace, he can meet His Majesty in person in the palace. There aren't many people.

"Thank you, Chief Steward."

The little eunuch said cautiously.

In the eyes of the young eunuch, the eunuch-in-chief, Ergou, was as towering and tall as Mount Tai. You must know that these two dogs not only controlled everything in the palace, but also controlled the terrifying West Factory.

In the past six months, many things Xichang has done are enough to make people frightened, because Xichang has launched various bloody activities and carried out bloody purges one after another in the officialdom.

In the huge Kyoto, no one can talk about Xichang without fear, except those who have never done anything wrong, but these people will probably shudder when they hear Xichang.

"You haven't done anything wrong. What are you afraid of when you meet our family?"

Ergou may have sensed the fear in this handsome little eunuch's heart, so he couldn't help but said coldly.

"Master Dog, they all say that you are very powerful. They say that you kill people just like you eat vegetables. You can kill more than a dozen people in one go."

Although the little eunuch was scared, he still said obediently.

Ergou couldn't help but laugh when he heard what the little eunuch said. He shook his head and said, "You still think too much. I won't kill people for no reason. I will only kill people when Your Majesty lets me kill people." , and most of the people I killed were bad people.”

"The vast majority of them are bad people, so you also admit that some of them are good people?"

The little eunuch caught the loophole in Er Gou's words, followed closely behind Er Gou with small steps, and whispered.

"There are no good people. The people you mentioned are extremely bad people. They have committed heinous crimes and of course deserve to die."

Ergou said matter-of-factly.

The two of them were talking and arrived in front of Ning Fan in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, this little Chunzi has something to tell you."

Ergou said to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan nodded and looked at the handsome little eunuch behind Ergou. This little eunuch was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was almost carved in the same mold as Ergou back then.

"What do you want to tell me? Don't be afraid. Speak slowly. I'm not a tiger and I don't eat people."

Ning Fan felt that the young eunuch was a little scared, so he took the initiative to comfort him.

After thinking for a while, the little eunuch said to Ning Fan in a panic: "Your Majesty, someone just reported outside the palace gate that there is a beggar who wants to see you."

After hearing what the eunuch Xiaochunzi said, Ergou suddenly became angry.

It was not easy for him to have an attack, so he glared at Xiao Chunzi, then turned to Ning Fan and said, "Your Majesty, this Xiao Chunzi is ignorant. It's the first time he offends you and spares him."

Ning Fan raised his head and glanced at Ergou. He smiled and said, "What kind of beggar wants to see the emperor? Such beggars are rare."

Xiao Chunzi was frightened and told Ning Fan stammering that the beggar had handed over a piece of paper, which was the piece of paper in Ergou's hand.

At this time, Ergou quickly picked up the dirty paper in his hand, and after taking a look, his expression changed a little.

There are two words written crookedly on this piece of paper, vaguely the word Zhang Jian.

When Ning Fan saw these two words on the paper, he was stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes. It had been nearly a year since he sent Zhang Jian overseas to find shipbuilding skills. , Unexpectedly, Zhang Jian had news at this time.

"Quick! Go and invite this beggar into the palace. I want to see him in person."

Ning Fan didn't care about changing clothes, turned around and walked out of the palace.

Ning Fan ran out of the palace in a panic. Xiao Chunzi ran faster than Ning Fan. Not long after, they met at the entrance of the palace. Looking at the ragged Zhang Jian, Ning Fan could hardly believe his eyes.
