Chapter 601: Proportion and Exchange, Crowning the Queen!
"Father, how about the post of Zhongshu Ling be held by Duke Shen?"
"Can!"
Emperor Yu nodded his head and agreed without thinking. Shen Li was born in a poor family and was an upright man. He had a high prestige both among scholars and among scholars all over the world.
Moreover, Duke Shen is an acceptable candidate for both the imperial court and King Yong, but the only one who would be more uncomfortable is probably the left prime minister.
"Does your father have a favorite candidate for the position of servant?"
Hearing Ning Fan's question, Emperor Yu knew that the second son was preparing to take the position of the Attendant. After pondering for a moment, he raised his eyes and said: "My subordinates are responsible for reviewing government orders, which is of great significance. Now the emperor can hold this position. There are not many candidates.”
"How is Kong Ming?"
"Um!"
Ning Fan nodded, it seemed that he had underestimated the tacit understanding with Emperor Yu, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Father, you are going to let the two uncles, King Song and King An, come out to take charge of the overall situation. But what’s the meaning?”
"hehe!"
Emperor Yu smiled, as if he did not expect Ning Fan to ask a question directly in front of him, and replied: "King Song and King An were also my supporters back then. After I ascended the throne, they began to keep their doors closed. out."
"Although he has been neglecting government affairs all year round, his talents are enough to take charge of his own affairs."
"My son, I understand. In this case, it is up to my father to decide on the candidate for Shangshu Ling."
"Shang Shu Ling..."
Emperor Yu glanced at Ning Fan speechlessly. Now that the candidates for Zhongshu and Shizhong have been decided, how can Shangshu Ling still have any room for maneuver?
There are prime ministers on the left and right, and Shen Li, the right prime minister, has received the Zhongshu Order and is a highly respected minister. How can the left prime minister Lin Qiushi be demoted and returned to his hometown?
Therefore, among these three positions, one will definitely be left for Lin Qiushi. At this point, neither Ning Fan nor Emperor Yu can directly push Lin Qiushi down.
"Father, I heard that Ji Sui, the Minister of War, and Xie Xingxian, the Minister of Work, have resigned?"
"hehe!"
A contemptuous smile appeared on Emperor Yu's face: "I don't believe you don't know the inside story."
"My father is wise, and my son does know a little bit."
"However, in the final analysis, it is just because of the Tianyu Army. If the two adults are dismissed from their positions because of this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the courtiers to convince the public!"
"I have already discussed this matter with your mother and concubine, and there is no need to discuss it further."
"Father!" Ning Fan suddenly had a solemn look on his face, and his tone became a bit more high-spirited: "The mother-in-law is the mother-in-law, and the sons and ministers are the sons-in-law. Master Ji and Master Xie have dedicated their lives to the court, but now they have ended up like this."
"My son, if you don't accept it, the courtiers will not accept it either!"
"Second brother, it's not time for you to have the final say in this world."
"Father, I have not forgotten my identity. However, I have something to say, which I can tell my father in person today."
Seeing Ning Fan putting away his usual cynicism and having a solemn look on his face, Emperor Yu was also beating his heart. Is it possible that this kid wants to quarrel with him?
For a moment, Emperor Yu felt a little flustered. To be fair, in the past two years, if King Yong had not held the sword, set the agenda, pacified the family, eliminated corrupt officials, and defended the four directions, the great Yu today might have been riddled with holes.
Personally speaking, in the past two years, King Yong's relationship with him has made him feel more relaxed than ever before, just like an ordinary father and son, sometimes joking, sometimes fighting, and even in the eyes of foreign ministers, it is a bit too absurd.
But Emperor Yu enjoyed this relaxed and happy atmosphere, although sometimes he was really annoyed by this traitor.
"Just tell me!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly, first took a step back, and then he and Emperor Yu stood up respectfully and bowed to Emperor Yu. He cupped his hands and said, "Father, I have no wrong thoughts when I return to the capital this time, let alone Half-hearted.”
"Yes, I know."
Emperor Yu's eyes glanced at the soldiers who were stopped by the men in black outside the palace, and a thought suddenly came to his mind. If the group of soldiers were to rush in and kill him now, could the group of men in black stop him?
"Father, today's Dayu is standing in the heaven and earth, surrounded by powerful enemies on all sides. My son intends to rape Yu. Can you ask my father to abdicate... Oh no!"
Ning Fan accidentally said something smoothly and quickly took it back: "What I mean is, if the father trusts me, can he delegate power?"
"When my son takes over the world and unifies the Central Plains, my father will still be able to dominate the country!"
"The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes!"
When Emperor Yu saw Ning Fan saying such 'rebellious and unethical' words, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately...
It's still a familiar smell. This treacherous son really doesn't let him worry.
"I grant you the power to supervise the country and give you the Emperor's Sword. However, it's time for the Xie family and the Ji family to beat them up."
"Since you insist on letting them come back, I will do it."
"but……"
Before Emperor Yu finished speaking, Ning Fan showed a smile and said calmly: "The Tian Yu Army no longer needs to exist. This military reform requires the reorganization of the four border armies and a major change in the organization. It’s just broken up.”
"Um!"
"Report——"
Before the two of them had finished their discussion, they heard a loud shout from outside the palace. Jiang Wei stepped forward with eager steps, first saluted Emperor Yu, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, all the enemy troops from the east, west and south gates have been captured. After being repulsed, the Mobei army in the city also exited the city gate."
"The three generals Chen Qingzhi, Qin Qiong, and Lu Bu led their troops to pursue them, and they have already started a confrontation outside the city!"
"Um!"
Ning Fan was not surprised by this result. If the White Robe Army, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and Xuanjia Army all came out to defeat Mobei, there was no need to talk about conquering the world. Go home and plant sweet potatoes!
"Now, the Mobei army is defeated one after another, and the imperial city is as stable as a mountain."
"We won't be in a hurry now, it's their turn."
"The army is going deep alone, with no food, grass, or supplies. I want to see if they are willing to kill their horses!"
"Tell Chen Qingzhi to block their escape route!"
"promise!"
Jiang Wei bowed respectfully and strode away. Ning Fan looked at Emperor Yu, grinned and said, "Father, why don't you take charge of the expedition yourself?"
"Let's take Mobei down first."
"..."
Emperor Yu glanced at him angrily and said calmly: "I am an old man and I don't dare to go out for a walk anymore. The journey from Huainan to the capital has cost me half of my life."
"If we go to conquer Mobei in person again, I'm sure we'll stay there."
"Father, your words are serious, how could this happen?"
"hehe……"
Emperor Yu was too lazy to continue chatting with him. He turned to look at Wei Ying aside and said softly: "Wei Ying, draw up the decree!"
"Um?"
Both Ning Fan and Wei Ying looked at Emperor Yu with puzzled expressions. He looked slightly dazed and said calmly: "Canonize Concubine Xian as the queen, and the news will be spread throughout the world within three days!"
