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

Seeing Chen Qiao's furious look, Ning Fan looked a little surprised.

He and Yue Ying looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, while Chen Qiao was confused by Ning Fan's inexplicable smile. He didn't know what to do and was even a little at a loss.

"If a person does something wrong, that person does not necessarily deserve to die. People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It is understandable that people will take risks for their own benefit. I also appreciate your courage."

After laughing, Ning Fan's expression became serious. There was no disgust or anger in his eyes when he looked at Chen Qiao. Instead, he was filled with awe of fate.

Does Chen Qiao have military talents?

That must be there!

In Ning Fan's mind, Chen Qiao's military ability ranks first among the young generation in today's well-off society. He is a god-of-war figure.

It's a pity that Chen Qiao has a fatal weakness, that is, he is eager for quick success and quick gains, and he only looks at the present, not the future. Although Chen Qiao has unparalleled military and strategic vision, politically Chen Qiao is just a mentally retarded child. .

He doesn't know how to hide his power and bide his time, doesn't know how to follow the rules, let alone wait silently and follow the trend.

At the beginning, Chen Qiao only saw the chaos in the northwest and planned to go to the northwest to occupy the mountain and become king, but he never imagined where the people's hearts and minds in the northwest were.

He came to the northwest by force and wanted to separate the northwest and make himself king. However, he never expected that Ning Fan would defeat him in just two moves.

But one thing is that Chen Qiao's contribution to Dakang cannot be erased. After all, it was he who ended the warlord war in the entire northwest, and it was he who ended the rebellion in the northwest. Without Chen Qiao, Ning Fan would have taken over the northwest. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, at least in a short period of time, Ning Fan will not be able to free his hands to clean up the chaos in the northwest.

"What do you mean? Does it mean Wusu lost?"

Chen Qiao looked at Ning Fan keenly. He knew that if faced with the pressure of the grassland, Ning Fan would never be so relaxed and comfortable. At this time, Ning Fan's expression could only mean one thing, that is, Ning Fan Victory has been achieved throughout the entire battle.

But after thinking about it, Chen Qiao felt a little incredible and couldn't even believe that all of this was true.

After all, Ning Fan has to face not only the pressure from the grassland, but also the huge pressure from his northern neighbors. It is impossible for Ning Fan to deal with all this alone. After all, with the strength of Dakang now here, it is impossible Use the power of a family to deal with the power of the entire grassland.

"You are not too stupid. Wusu has been completely defeated and fled deep into the grassland with five hundred cavalry. At this time, he should have been caught by the hidden line I planted at the Ur Pass."

Chen Qiao was a respectable person, so Ning Fan didn't want to tease him, so he told the truth directly.

But the reality is that if you tell the truth, few people will really believe it.

When Ning Fan said these words, Chen Qiao first showed an expression of disbelief, and then a mocking expression appeared on his face.

It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's that he can't believe it. It's all too incredible.

"You have to know that modern firearms are completely different from the wars in the cold weapon era. It's like if you hold a wooden stick and I hold a machete, how can you fight with me?"

Ning Fan made an appropriate metaphor.

Chen Qiao was emotional and his chest heaved violently. He knew that he had no hope in this life. Ning Fan, as the emperor, could not lie. All of this should be true.

But at this moment, he was still a little unwilling.

"What about the Rakshasa people from the north? They cannot be defeated easily. The Rakshasa people are extremely powerful in combat. Even if you have muskets and artillery, you will not have an advantage when facing the fallen people."

Chen Qiao looked at Ning Fan and said with a bit of luck.

"The Rakshasa people came from the north, and 200,000 people detoured back to the northwest area. They tried to enter the northwest from Jiange, but were blocked by a line of defense. Then I sent 300,000 troops to help, and it took a month. Time to completely annihilate the Rakshasa people."

Ning Fan put his hands behind his back and said slowly.

His tone was full of calmness, but there was an undoubted power inside and outside the words.

Chen Qiao's eyes quickly dimmed, as if two lights in the dark night lost their light in an instant.

"It seems that I am about to die, but if I can be received by His Majesty in person, I will die with no regrets. I have done something wrong before, and I must pay the price for my mistake!"

After experiencing a lot of things, meeting a lot of people's ups and downs, Chen Qiao's heart has completely calmed down. He knows that he will finish this life.

"I will not kill you. You are a meritorious minister. You once helped me put down the rebellion in the northwest. Even if the merits and demerits are equal, you can still survive, so there is no need to worry about this."

Ning Fan smiled lightly.

Hearing that Ning Fan wanted to spare his life, Chen Qiao didn't believe it at first, but seeing the sincere expression on Ning Fan's face, he finally believed it. However, at this moment, Chen Qiao did not feel happy at all, but instead had a look on his face. A hint of loneliness.

If a person has no hope, what is the difference between living and dying? After all, Chen Qiao has climbed high mountains. If he is allowed to live in the trough, his life will be without brightness.

So at this moment, Chen Qiao was not happy at all when he heard that Ning Fan was willing to pardon him.

Ning Fan had long expected that Chen Qiao would show such an expression. He was not surprised at all. He just shook his head and turned to walk outside. At this time, he was no longer interested in saying anything to Chen Qiao.

Ning Fan would not retaliate with kindness. After all, if he is disloyal once, he will never be disloyal. If a person like Chen Qiao is given the right to hold a high position, he will still rebel a second time when the time is right. .

"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with Chen Qiao?"

After walking out of the dungeon, a cool breeze blew from outside, and Ning Fan suddenly felt relaxed all over.

Hearing Yue Ying's question behind him, Ning Fan fell into deep thought. Indeed, if he didn't kill Chen Qiao, there would be many problems that would be difficult to deal with next.

"Previously, Chen Qiao never said where the four major families were hiding, but this time His Majesty pardoned him. I believe he will reciprocate the favor."

Yueying smiled and said.

Ning Fan wasn't too worried about the so-called four major families. After thinking about it, he decided to postpone the matter for a while.

It's Ning Fan's habit to put off things he can't make up his mind for a while. After all, things get better if they take things slow, and there's no harm in taking things slow for many things.
