Chapter 295 The Emperor's Mindset?
Listening to Ning Fan's self-deprecating words, Emperor Yu couldn't help but have black lines in his head. This bastard actually considered the girl from Fengxiang Tower first!
Mentioning this romantic place in front of all the courtiers is simply a disgrace to the royal family!
"Ahem!"
Even Shen Li couldn't help but cough a few times and defended Ning Fan: "Your Majesty, His Highness King Yong is a man of temperament and should be an unintentional person. Don't get angry!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zheng Xuan laughed loudly and said: "Girl of Fengxiang Tower, Your Highness, you are the first-class prince of Yuzheng, but you still miss such a romantic place?"
"If it spreads out, wouldn't it make my people in Dayu laugh?"
"His Majesty!"
Lin Qiushi also took a deep look at Ning Fan and said in a deep tone: "I think that His Highness King Yong is a great talent, but he has lived in a deep palace for a long time and cannot sympathize with the sufferings of the people!"
"I think there is no harm in letting His Highness King Yong go out and experience it for a while!"
The words of the old fox were of course watertight. Zheng Xuan couldn't help but his expression lit up with a look of admiration on his face: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Lin said is absolutely true. King Yong is the hero of our Dayu, but he still needs to withstand the ups and downs before he can do it. Become a great tool!”
When Emperor Yu heard what the two said, he couldn't help but look a little thoughtful. Chen Qinghe and Ji Sui's expressions tightened, and they were about to step forward to speak, but they heard Emperor Yu say: "What Mr. Lin said is not unreasonable!"
"According to my ancestral system of Dayu, the second child has indeed reached the age where he will die!"
"but……"
Hearing the turning point, Lin Qiushi continued: "Your Majesty, the land of Huainan is now ownerless, and the land of the sixteen states has been ruled by King Huai for a long time, and the people's customs are fierce. I think that His Highness King Yong can take on this important task!"
"Father!"
Ning Fan also raised his feet to go out of the queue, knelt down directly on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Son, I am willing to share my father's worries and go to Huainan to live in peace!"
"What Mr. Zuo and Mr. Zheng said is not unreasonable. King Huai has been cultivating the sixteen states of Huainan for many years. Now the entire Huainan regards King Huai as a local emperor and has no respect for the imperial court in his heart!"
"My son wants to go there in person, bring order to the chaos, and establish the legitimacy of the court and the power of the Father!"
"If we cannot bring the people of Huainan back home within three years, I am willing to be punished!"
Ning Fan's statement immediately shocked all the officials. Even Emperor Yu couldn't help but look startled, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Ning Fan was thinking.
Couldn't this stupid boy understand the situation?
It is easy to leave Beijing but difficult to return!
If he was really sent away, who in the court would take a remote prince seriously?
"Ning Fan, have you thought clearly?"
"Back to my father, as long as I can share your worries, I will do my best to help you!"
"Whether it is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, or a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, I will never regret it!"
When Emperor Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look very pleased. There was also a touch of emotion on his face. He nodded frequently, but he couldn't make up his mind for a long time.
Now that King Sheng has died in the Western Territory, the second child is his most promising candidate for the crown prince. If he is really assigned to the throne, won't the position of the East Palace continue to be shelved?
"His Majesty!"
Guo Jia, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly came out of the queue, cupped his hands slightly and said: "When heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, work his muscles and bones, starve his body, deplete his body, and mess up his place." Because of this, you can use your heart and patience to gain what you can’t do!”
"well said!"
Shen Li's face was filled with shock. Such shocking words came from the mouth of a junior who had just reached the age of 18. He was really formidable!
"Your Majesty, since Your Highness has such ambitions, the veteran also agrees!"
"Father, worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness!"
"My son, you will serve me, Dayu, till your death!"
…
After some brainwashing by the emperor and his ministers, and with the help of Zheng Xuan and other villains, Ning Fan's plan finally came into effect.
Emperor Yu asked him to leave Beijing in half a month, go to Huainan to join Fan, and take over the land of sixteen states!
"Hahaha!"
"I didn't expect that this idiot Zheng Xuan would unintentionally do me a big favor!"
"And the old fox from the Lin family may have made the wrong calculation!"
As soon as he left the palace, Ning Fan couldn't help but smile and looked at Guo Jiaqi who was standing aside: "Now that I can lead the sixteen states of Yanyun, within three years, I am confident that I can turn it into an iron plate!"
"My lord, Prime Minister Lin does not know about the death of His Royal Highness Prince Sheng in battle!"
"For them, as long as they can send you out, no matter how much they pay, they will definitely make a profit!"
"You know, for a prince who is at the height of his power, being sent to the frontier is tantamount to being relegated to the cold palace. It is easy to leave but hard to come back!"
"yes!"
Ning Fan also said with emotion: "I am afraid that my father is also hesitant, otherwise he would never agree so easily!"
"The sixteen states of Yanyun have been managed by King Huai for decades. They are bound to be very exclusive. They don't even have much attachment to me, Dayu!"
"Now that the king has taken the initiative to take over this mess, the courtiers naturally have no objections."
"I have the confidence to turn Huainan into a paradise within three years!"
There was a sparkle in Ning Fan's eyes. In the capital, he couldn't let go and show off his ambitions. But if he was let out, let alone the system, he would use his later methods, with the help of Guo Jia, Chen Gong and others, to govern. In the land of sixteen states, there is more than enough poke!
Besides, it’s time to pick the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the house now!
Spring plowing is approaching, and he is about to leave Beijing. If he can sow seeds in Huainan, he will surely have a bumper harvest when the autumn harvest comes!
"Lord!"
"Marshal Yue is still in the East Territory now, and Your Majesty has not yet made up his mind whether to fight or make peace. Why not make some plans in the East Territory first?"
"Tell me more!"
Ning Fan and Guo Jia and others rode in the same carriage. Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "With the current national strength of Dayu, it will take time to wipe out the national destiny of Donghuai!"
"So, we still have to negotiate in the end, but the bargaining chips for peace talks are in our hands!"
"What do you mean?"
"Use the national destiny of Donghuai to achieve the reputation of Pengju!"
"Create a reputation as a war god in the East Territory!"
Ning Fan's eyes showed a hint of With a thoughtful look, he pondered for a long time, nodded slightly and said: "Leave this matter to Wan San!"
"This king intends to let Pengju and Shubao stay in Beijing!"
"With their talents, they will definitely be able to occupy a place in my Dayu army within three years!"
"That's right!"
Guo Jia stroked his beard with a smile, and said through the car window: "General Pengju has the talent of a great commander. Now your majesty intends to weaken the prestige of the north, and the Zhenguo Army has also been separated..."
After hearing what Guo Jia said, Ning Fan couldn't help but look stunned for a moment, his eyes were absent-minded, and a touch of emotion appeared on his face.
It turned out that everything seemed invisible, but there was a calculation!
In the battle of Li Jin's western border, he lost soldiers and generals, but he did not get any reputation, and the Zhenguo Army was also separated invisibly. One of the three commanders was in the west and two were in the east. Even if it was an eastern expedition, the credit fell entirely on Yue Fei...
Is this the mind of the emperor?
