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

In the Forbidden Palace, Ning Fan saw Prince Ning Qing chasing after him from a distance.

Seeing this scene, Ning Fan's lips curved into a sneer.

Ning Fan quickened his pace and walked into the Chongde Hall before Prince Ning Qing caught up with him.

"Father, the incident at Wangyue Tower has been investigated."

Ning Fan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Tian'an.

Emperor Tian'an, who was reviewing the memorial, didn't even raise his head, as if he didn't hear it.

Ning Fan looked up and saw Li Chuan walking towards him.

Ning Fan quickly handed over the confession in his hand, and there was also an official document with a big seal from Shuntian Mansion.

Li Chunan carefully took the official document, turned around and walked forward, handing it to Emperor Tian'an who was sitting on the dragon throne.

The entire hall was eerily quiet, and you could even hear the sound of Emperor Tian'an turning over the paper.

"Father, please don't listen to Ning Fan slandering me!"

A hasty voice came, and Prince Ning Qing appeared at the door of the hall.

He looked panicked and looked at Ning Fan with eyes filled with resentment.

When Ning Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, saw this scene, he said nothing and his expression did not change.

"What's wrong with shouting loudly?"

Emperor Tian'an finally raised his head and looked at Prince Ning Qing with a touch of disgust in his eyes.

Ning Qing and Emperor Tian'an looked at each other, and suddenly felt cold and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Father, what Ning Fan said is actually slandering my son and ministers. You must not listen to the slander."

Prince Ning Qing spoke sternly.

Emperor Tian'an's eyes fell on Ning Fan, but Ning Fan said nothing and looked as usual.

"Are you so impatient? You bastard!"

Emperor Tian'an's eyes were full of sarcasm when he looked at Ning Qing.

Ning Qing seemed to realize something, and a look of regret flashed across his face.

At this time, Emperor Tian'an slowly opened the official document and confession submitted by Ning Fan, with a calm expression on his face, as if there was no surprise at all.

"More than a dozen lives..."

Emperor Tian'an looked over with cold eyes and stared at Ning Qing coldly.

Prince Ning Qing was stabbed by this powerful and oppressive gaze, and his body immediately curled up, as if his whole body had shrunk by half.

"Father...it's all slander..."

Ning Qing was trembling with fear.

There was a sneer on Ning Fan's lips. In what he submitted, he didn't even mention the word "Prince". At most, he just pointed all the real evidence to the Prince's Mansion. Prince Ning Qing didn't have three hundred taels of silver here. .

"It seems that you did it!"

Emperor Tian'an put down the official documents and confessions in his hands and looked at Prince Ning Qing with cold eyes.

"No... I didn't do it, someone under my command took it upon themselves to do it!"

Prince Ning Qing was so frightened that his face turned pale and he could not speak clearly.

"Bastard!"

"Look at what you are like now? You are stubborn and will retaliate. I teach you this country, how can you tell me to rest assured?"

Emperor Tianan roared.

"Father, I know my mistake..."

The prince was trembling all over, kowtowing repeatedly and shivering all over.

After the angry roar, Emperor Tianan quickly calmed down.

The prince is the crown prince of a country. If he is guilty, it will be difficult to deal with it.

If this matter was done in vain, it would obviously be unfair to Ning Fan, so after Emperor Tian'an calmed down quickly, his expression became darker.

"Ning Qing!"

"My son...my son is here..."

Ning Qing kept trembling.

"You are not strict with your subordinates this time, and you allow your subordinates to do evil. I will punish you by shutting yourself up for half a month and not planning to go out!"

"As for the person who committed the crime, he will be handed over to Shuntian Mansion for justice!"

Emperor Tian'an said slowly.

Ning Qing originally thought that he was in trouble this time, and even if he was not abolished, he would be severely punished.

Who would have thought that Emperor Tian'an raised it high and put it down gently, just thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors, and there didn't seem to be any severe punishment.

Ning Fan, on the other hand, had expected all this and was not surprised at all.

This is not a family matter, nor a simple case, but very serious politics.

The prince is the crown prince and cannot be deposed easily!

Before deposing the prince, you must carefully consider the forces of the ministers and officials behind the prince. A single move can affect the whole body, and a slight mistake will cause huge disasters.

Therefore, it is reasonable and reasonable for Emperor Tian'an to deal with it this way.

"Thank you, father! After my son returns, he must discipline his subordinates well."

After Prince Ning Qing heard Emperor Tian'an punished him, not only did he not figure out the underlying reason, but he looked complacent.

The look he looked at Ning Fan even contained a hint of provocation and pride.

Ning Fan was speechless for a while. How did such a person become the prince?

"You should step back first."

Emperor Tian'an said slowly.

The voice was neither sad nor happy, and there was no emotion at all.

Ning Qing looked at Ning Fan proudly, stood up and left quickly.

The Chongde Hall fell into silence.

Emperor Tian'an looked at Ning Fan intently. He wanted to see anger, grievance and other emotions on his son's face. Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Ning Fan always looked as usual.

"Don't you feel aggrieved by how I handled it?"

Emperor Tian'an looked at Ning Fan.

"My son, I think it is reasonable and reasonable for my father to deal with this."

"It's just a pity that so many innocent people died in vain. Their lives were not taken lightly."

Ning Fan sighed.

Emperor Tian'an didn't expect Ning Fan to be so transparent. He seemed to get to know his son again.

When talking to smart people, you don't need to talk too much, just a few words will make sense. This is what Ning Fan and Emperor Tian'an are like now. For the first time, father and son have a tacit understanding.

"There must be someone responsible for this. I will ask Shuntian Mansion to provide compensation. Of course, the perpetrators will also have to pay the price."

Emperor Tian'an said calmly.

Ning Fan had already gotten the result he wanted, so he didn't stay any longer. He stood up and said goodbye, then turned and walked out of the hall.

Looking at Ning Fan's back, Emperor Tian'an was lost in thought for a long time.

"Little Plum, tell me, how can a person change so much?"

Emperor Tian'an sighed.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Sixth Prince is talented and intelligent, maybe that's the way it is."

Li Chunan said cautiously.

"Ning Qing, you are becoming more and more disappointed..."

Emperor Tian'an rarely showed his emotions, even in front of his trusted eunuchs, he rarely revealed any information.

But this time, he seemed really disappointed and couldn't help but sigh.

Li Chunan acted as if he hadn't heard anything and stood there watching his nose and heart without saying a word.

Ning Fan walked out of the palace gate and saw Prince Ning Qing standing by the roadside waiting for him from a distance.

"Ning Fan, you don't come to pay your respects even though you have met my eldest brother. Do you still see me as the prince in your eyes?"

Ning Qing looked at Ning Fan coldly.

This time, the two of them had broken up, and Ning Qing stopped pretending.

"Brother, why are you dissatisfied with me?"

Ning Fan pretended to be dumbfounded.

Seeing Ning Fan's appearance, Ning Qing's face turned livid with anger. He smiled gloomily: "I never thought that those people from Shuntian Mansion would be so close to Sixth Brother! Ning Fan, Ning Fan, I never thought you were So much power has developed without saying a word!"

"What, you want to compete with me, the eldest brother, for that position?"
