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

Ning Fan was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people and directly ordered them to be detained. Then he reopened the sea chart and began to analyze the battlefield situation.

Although Dakang's fleet now has an absolute advantage, the English's manpower has not been destroyed too much. According to Ning Fan's current estimate, less than 10% of the English's real manpower has been destroyed. In other words, if the English fight back with all their strength at this moment, it is possible to turn the tide.

Therefore, Ning Fan dared not be negligent at this time. He had to make plans for the next step and thoroughly consolidate the results of his success.

Half a month later, the English fleet was completely destroyed by Dakang's artillery fire. Although Dakang also lost some warships, overall, it was not seriously damaged.

After ten years of hard work, this fleet has been honed in secret and has finally shown its most powerful side. The old warships of the English are simply powerless in front of the latest ironclad warships.

"Your Majesty, the Queen of England has written you a letter personally. Shouldn't we just let her go now?"

Qin Ying looked at Ning Fan speechlessly. After spending nearly a month together, Qin Ying had a new understanding of Ning Fan.

That is, Ning Fan has an indelible bandit spirit. This spirit is the driving force that enables Ning Fan to continuously make correct decisions and achieve success.

"Their queen said that she wants to divide the world equally with our Great Kang. The Western and Eastern territories will not interfere with each other. The western territories belong to them, and the Western territories belong to our Great Kang. Neither side can cross the border. They even forbid us from doing business with them. Do you think this is acceptable?"

Ning Fan said with a sneer.

Qin Ying, who was standing by, was dumbfounded after hearing what he heard. This was not a condition that a defeated country could propose. This was simply the condition proposed by the victor among the victors. Only a true boss among bosses could propose such a stupid condition.

Not only did Ning Fan refuse to agree, even Qin Ying, who was listening to Ning Fan's narration, was so angry that she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"Your Majesty, why don't we just rush to the English's lair and completely destroy their country to prevent future troubles?"

Qin Ying was really angry.

Ning Fan was amused by Qin Ying's words. Not to mention sailing on the sea, it would take at least one or two months to reach England. Even if he could get there, there was no need to cross half the world to seek revenge.

Three months later, half of Dakang's seagoing ships were converted into merchant ships. These merchant ships carried a large amount of goods every day and were shipped by sea to all parts of the world. Dakang's goods were transported to these places and sold, or exchanged for goods.

Qin Ying, who is in charge of a huge fleet, has a special liking for sailing on the sea, and is also good at doing business.

Everything was just as Ning Fan had asserted. The English hegemony at sea had completely declined, and the day of Dakang's complete rise had finally come.

A year later, Ning Fan suddenly appeared in Zhongnanhe. Under the secret protection of the Military Intelligence Department, Ning Fan came to a mysterious and dilapidated Taoist temple in Zhongnanhe.

"Daolang, do you think there is any hope for my problem?"

Ning Fan looked at the old man with white hair and a youthful face in front of him with some nervousness.

According to Huang Yumeng, the old man in front of him was at least two hundred years old.

"Your Majesty is in good health, there is nothing wrong."

The old Taoist priest said with a smile.

However, this is not the answer Ning Fan wants most. Now that the world is stable and united, the issue that Ning Fan is most worried about and concerned about is whether he can have offspring.

As an emperor, if he cannot have descendants and appoint a crown prince early, it will be extremely detrimental to the entire country.

After repeated requests from several women in the harem, Ning Fan finally came to Zhongnanhe, saying that he was going to swim, but in fact, he was begging for a child with a large sum of money...

"Your Majesty's problem is a bit troublesome, but I can solve it."

The old Taoist priest always had a smile on his face, and he seemed to have no worries, which could make him depressed. Ning Fan was naturally skeptical about what the old Taoist priest said.

Why can't he continue his offspring? In fact, Ning Fan himself knew that it must be a punishment for himself as a time traveler.

In Ning Fan's mind, he had actually long since decided that he would not have any descendants, and this time he came to Zhongnanhe just to give an explanation to the women in the harem.

But now when Ning Fan heard this old Taoist priest say that he could still be saved, his first thought was not to believe it.

Ning Fan lived in Zhongnan for a whole month. During this month, apart from basic entertainment activities, he spent most of his time drinking a very bitter herb.

Ning Fan drank it in the morning, at noon, and at night, and his mouth felt bitter even in his dreams.

Another year has passed, spring goes and autumn comes.

And from the palace came good news that shocked the whole country. On the night of the wedding, the queen gave birth to a prodigal son.

This sudden news shocked the government and the whole country.

Ning Fan was holding his newborn son, feeling extremely sad.

He never imagined that after traveling to this era, he could still leave his bloodline behind.

The old Taoist actually said at the beginning that Ning Fan should not have children. Forcing Ning Fan to have children would cause some other changes.

No one could tell exactly what these changes were, but before leaving, the old Taoist gave Ning Fan a sword and asked him to carry it with him at all times.

"Your Majesty, it's a bit cold outside. Don't let the little prince catch a cold."

Several palace maids who were experienced in taking care of children were startled when they saw Ning Fan standing in the corridor holding the newborn prince.

You have to know that it was just after the Chinese New Year, the weather was freezing cold, and the little prince had just been born and was very weak. If he caught a cold at this time, the chances of the child dying would probably increase greatly.

"Zhou Qun, the State Council is running pretty well under your leadership. I have a new proposal. What do you think?"

Ning Fan handed a thin book to Zhou Qun.

Ning Fan opened the book and looked at it carefully for a while, then a look of great shock appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, you mean that Dakang will take the road of a republic in the future, and you want to give up the position of emperor and become a commoner. How is this possible?"

Zhou Qun was really shocked by Ning Fan's decision. He would never have thought that this man would actually abandon the throne of the emperor and be willing to be an ordinary citizen.

"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass by, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success or failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few times. The white-haired fisherman on the river is used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine happily meets. So many things in ancient and modern times. , all in a joke."

Ning Fan looked at the full moon outside the window, feeling a mixture of emotions.
