"Father, over the years, the Chen family has colluded with the King of Huainan, conspired to rebel, and controlled the government. It is a crime that cannot be punished!"
"Chen Fang, the fourth son of the Chen family, colluded with Donghuai to create trouble for the new army and planned to launch a palace coup!"
"Such a heinous family should have their homes searched and executed, and all their members should be removed!"
Seeing the murderous look on Ning Fan's face, even Emperor Yu felt his heart tremble, and said in a deep voice: "It's easy to destroy the Chen family, but what happens after that?"
"Have you ever thought about how Huainan will react?"
"How can the civil and military officials of the dynasty, the scholars of the world, and even the other three of the four major families stabilize the situation of the dynasty?"
"Father, I just received news that Mr. Shen is already on his way to Beijing."
After hearing Ning Fan's words, Emperor Yu also showed a trace of tangle on his face. If he said he didn't want to take action against the Chen family, it must be a lie. Among the four major families, the Hu family controlled the world's salt channels, and the Shui family controlled Dayu's water transportation. In Fukou, the Lu family's grain store almost monopolized the world's grain stores and manipulated grain prices.
He could tolerate all these, but only the Chen family took advantage of the imperial court's weaknesses!
You must know that Dayu is different from other countries. There are powerful enemies on all four borders. He has been suffering from wars all year round. There is a huge demand for weapons, armor and horses, and there is no room for any mistakes!
But such an important strategic material is controlled by an aristocratic family!
The Chen family even colluded with Huainan and plotted a rebellion. No matter what, Emperor Yu would not tolerate him!
But is it too early to kill him now?
"Father!"
Seeing the tangled look on Emperor Yu's face, Ning Fan spoke again: "Tomorrow the three princes will lead the army. As long as we can take down the Chen family's arms private workshop and horse farm with thunderous momentum, the Chen family will It won’t pose any threat to us!”
"As for the direction of Huainan, as far as I know, Huainan is in contact with the south and is not fully prepared. With Lu Kan's nature, he will never take action rashly!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Seeing the solemn look on Ning Fan's face, Emperor Yu pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "I don't want you to interfere in this matter!"
Ning Fan also had a look of emotion on his face, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. The Chen family was a giant, not to mention the many disciples and old officials. The party members in the court and the reputation among the people alone were enough to overwhelm him, the prince!
What's more, no one knows what kind of power the Chen family hides secretly!
Once Ning Fan personally destroys the Chen family, the secret forces of the Chen family will surely launch endless revenge. By then, the offended force will not be just a single Chen family, but all the scholars in the world!
In this era, the power of these aristocratic families is extremely influential, and no one can ignore it!
"Father, looking at the entire court now, there is no one more suitable than my son!"
"No one but Jin Yiwei can handle this case!"
"No one in the civil or military court is willing to risk the disapproval of the world to destroy the Chen family, because they don't want to stand on the opposite side of the world's famous families!"
"But Erchen doesn't care!"
A free and easy smile appeared on Ning Fan's face. If he wanted to fulfill his ambitions in this era, he would have to stand on the opposite side of the aristocratic family!
Now, he is not sitting on the dragon throne, so there will be no direct conflict between the family and the court!
In this way, with Emperor Yu acting as a buffer in the middle, no matter which step you go to, there is room for maneuver!
Only by severely defeating the Chen family and letting everyone in the world see what he can do, can he take advantage of the situation and throw out Wang Zha, giving this poor family a chance to stand out!
"Son, I know that you have a groove in your chest, you can hide the world, you are ruthless in your methods, and you have a good plan in your belly."
"There are faint shadows of your imperial brother back then, but he is more tactful and worldly than him, but sometimes he is a bit more violent!"
"I didn't expect that in just one month, your whole person seems to have been completely transformed. In the blink of an eye, you can already share my worries. I am very happy!"
It was rare for Emperor Yu to show his true feelings, and his eyes when he looked at Ning Fan had a touch of warmth, but he quickly restrained himself and sighed sadly: "In the past, I expected you to become a talented person, but now you can really take charge of yourself. It really makes me feel distressed!”
Emperor Yu knew that this time, Ning Fan took the initiative to stand in front of him, and the Chen family had to be eliminated. But if he took action personally, he would definitely turn the world's aristocratic families against the imperial court!
At that time, the court will inevitably be in turmoil, but if Ning Fan can stand in front and block the spearhead of the family, the pressure on Emperor Yu will be much easier!
"Father, there are things a man should do and things he should not do!"
"My son has made up his mind, I have no regrets!"
Ning Fan's words were resounding. Emperor Yu's expression froze and he nodded slightly: "Have you considered the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance clearly?"
"Replying to my father, I recommend Chen Qinghe as the governor of Nanhe County!"
"Chen Qinghe!"
Emperor Yu couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he said leisurely: "I know this person. When he was the Minister of Household Affairs, he bumped into powerful people in the court, and was demoted from the capital by your grandfather. This person has a strong character and integrity. What's wrong?"
"Is this person very close to you?"
"Reporting to my father, I don't know Master Chen!"
"oh?"
Emperor Yu couldn't help but show a hint of surprise: "Then why did you recommend this person?"
"Father, I have sent Jin Yiwei to investigate the conduct, style, and evaluation of the officials in the world. Mr. Chen has a reputation as a virtuous man and is not afraid of the powerful. I have also heard about what happened back then!"
"However, Mr. Chen once sat in the position of the Ministry of Household Affairs. If he can return to the temple now and go one step further and control the Ministry of Household Affairs, he will definitely be able to relieve his father's worries!"
"Um!"
Emperor Yu nodded appreciatively and said with a smile: "How can you bear to hand over such an important position as Minister of the Ministry of Finance to an outsider?"
"Father, what you said is wrong!" Ning Fan shook his head slightly and said with a stern face: "This Minister of Household Affairs does not have the final say alone. He must not only get the approval of the father, but also be able to block the civil and military affairs of the imperial court. Mouth!"
"The most important thing is to be able to fulfill a position and benefit one party. Otherwise, what is the difference between my ministers and those ministers who form cliques for personal gain?"
"well said!"
Emperor Yu suddenly felt very happy. He looked at it and sighed deeply: "I still underestimated you before!"
"In that case, it's up to you to say hello to Chen Qinghe in advance!"
"After three days, the imperial decree is conveyed and you can enter the capital!"
Ning Fan knew that Emperor Yu wanted him to betray Chen Qinghe's favor, so he slightly handed over his hand: "Thank you, father!"
"Go down first. Tomorrow the Duke of Zhen will return to the court. You and Ji Sui will personally welcome him on my behalf!"
"According to the order!"
Ning Fan strode out of the palace. Emperor Yu looked at the retreating figure and murmured: "Second brother, you are more suitable to take my seat than the eldest brother, but it's a pity..."
