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

Things have come to light, and Ning Fan is also happy.

I really wanted to tell Xiao Lingxi the news immediately, but after thinking about it, I held back.

Three days are coming soon, and tomorrow should be the day of the court meeting.

By then, it will naturally be decided how Xiao Zhong will deal with it.

In Changle Palace, the prince was walking around irritably.

He thought his strategy was foolproof, but he didn't know that in the end it would be a waste of water.

Xiao Chong actually would rather die than join his army, which made the prince a little angry.

Snapped!

An emerald wine glass was smashed to pieces by Prince Ning Qing, who was so frightened that the maids nearby turned pale and trembled.

"Come here, call Yan Wudao!"

There was a hint of violence in the prince's eyes.

After a while, a young man with a pale face and a black cloak walked in.

The prince looked at this pale and colorless face and suddenly felt disgusted.

"Tell me, why didn't Xiao Chong give in? Did he want to die or something?"

The prince stared at his military advisor coldly.

Yan Wudao had made two mistakes in a row, which was the limit of the prince's patience.

Yan Wudao raised his head and looked at the prince. Seeing the prince's furious look, his eyes showed deep disappointment.

To put it bluntly, the prince is a person who cannot withstand any setbacks.

In his eyes, everything must revolve around him, and everything he wants to accomplish must be according to his will.

"Your Highness, it can only be said that Xiao Chong does not take you seriously. In his heart, you may not be considered a towering tree that can protect you from wind and rain!"

Yan Wudao did not appear cowardly because of the prince's rage. On the contrary, his eyes were firm.

"Then what do you want to do? Tomorrow is the court meeting. Do you want him to die or live?"

The prince was completely in a state of collapse.

Xiao Zhong holds military power. In the prince's view, such a person should serve him and become a dog crawling at his feet.

It's a pity that Xiao Zhong doesn't know how to praise, and he sent lobbyists twice in succession, but he was immediately disgraced by Xiao Zhong.

"I'm afraid the prince has no control over this matter! His Majesty has handed over the matter to the cabinet for decision, so whether Xiao Chong lives or dies, the cabinet's opinion plays a decisive role."

Yan Wudao's face was expressionless.

Bang!

The prince kicked the table over and yelled angrily.

Seeing that he was about to take control of the huge military power, Ning Qing almost collapsed emotionally when he suddenly lost this opportunity.

"Why!"

"I am the prince! I am the heir apparent! Xiao Chong, why does he have that?"

……

On the other side, in the fourth prince's mansion, the same situation was happening.

"What on earth is Xiao Chong thinking? Does he really want to die?"

The fourth prince Ning Xiao had an angry look on his face.

In his opinion, Xiao Zhong should stand on the same front as him, so that he could be on par with the prince with military power and a clear sword.

But now, the dream burst like a bubble, catching Ning Xiao off guard.

"Your Highness, the people in the cabinet and Xiao Zhong have always refused to deal with each other. Xiao Zhong is probably dead this time! Instead of thinking about how to win over this person, it is better to think about how to divide the power from Xiao Zhong!"

"Once this person dies, who will your Majesty choose to take over the military power?"

……

Regardless of whether he was the crown prince or the fourth prince, at this time no one expected that Ning Fan, the most inconspicuous and the most despised by them, would play a decisive role in this matter.

It was Ning Fan's powerful statement in the early stage and his rescue of Cheng Dong later that combined, these two things combined, influenced Cheng Wei's thinking.

As a result, things developed in a direction that no one expected.

Xiao family, tonight is also a sleepless night.

Xiao Chong stood in the yard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

One night many years ago, when Emperor Tian'an was still an ordinary prince, they once admired the moon together.

But now, there is no private communication channel between the monarch and his ministers.

Apart from a formal memorial, there was no chance for me to say a few words about remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness.

"Father, the results of the cabinet discussion will be reported to the court tomorrow. I'm afraid your matter will have to be finalized."

Xiao Lingxi's face was full of worry.

"It doesn't matter! Your Majesty wants me to die, which means I have no value to Da Kang."

Xiao Zhong said calmly.

"Father, this is not fair!"

Xiao Lingxi burst into tears.

Xiao Chong smiled indifferently: "General Bai Zhan, which one of them died on the hospital bed? I'm nearly fifty years old and have already lived enough. What's the point of living a few more years? The only one who can't let go is you. .”

Xiao Chong looked at his daughter lovingly,

"Father, His Highness the Sixth Prince promised me that he will definitely save you."

Xiao Lingxi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhong shook his head: "Sixth Prince? Although his recent performance is impressive, he has no power and is not favored. I'm afraid he won't be able to play any role."

After Xiao Zhong's words, Xiao Lingxi couldn't help but retreat in her heart.

Compared to the fourth prince and prince who held great power, Ning Fan was indeed a small figure.

After all, Ning Fan was just an idle prince, without even a regular position, and he was not qualified to participate in court meetings.

Even if I want to plead for my father, I don’t have the qualifications or opportunity...

After a sleepless night, Xiao Chong woke up the next day and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the withered and yellow leaves all over the yard.

He put on his armor and military uniform, walked out of the house with a solemn look, and went straight to the Forbidden Palace.

At this time, Cheng Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet, was already dressed and ready to go out.

But before going out, he still came to his son's hospital bed and planned to take a look.

"Father, I feel much better. I no longer had a fever last night, and the wound also felt itchy! It seems that the Sixth Prince did not lie to me. The alcohol is indeed useful."

Cheng Dong lay on the bed, feeling much better.

Cheng Wei didn't believe it, but when he lifted the gauze, he didn't smell any rotten smell.

The flesh and blood around the wound is not as red and swollen as it looked a few times before.

"It really is……"

"Son, you must survive this time! You must use the alcohol and endure the pain. According to His Highness the Sixth Prince, rinse several times a day."

Cheng Wei's face showed joy.

At the same time, some doubts arose in my heart. Are there really many invisible bugs in this world as Ning Fan said?

"Father, how are you preparing to report to His Majesty?"

After Cheng Dong felt better, he began to care about things outside.

"You're just recovering from your injury, don't worry too much."

Cheng Wei didn't want to say more and planned to turn around and leave.

"Father, I know that you and General Xiao Zhong don't get along! But now, Dakang really cannot live without generals! If the Xiongnu goes south, who in the court can stop it?"

Cheng Dong said loudly.

Cheng Wei's body paused for a moment, and finally left.

In fact, Cheng Wei had already heard such words from Ning Fan, and now that he said them from his son, Cheng Wei felt quite relieved.
