Chapter 73: Risking the world's disapproval, I don't care

"Father, the Chen family has colluded with the King of Huainan over the years, plotted rebellion, and controlled the government. They are simply guilty of unforgivable crimes!"

"Chen Fang, the fourth son of the Chen family, colluded with the spies of Donghuai, disrupted the new army, and wanted to launch a palace coup!"

"Such an unforgivable family should be confiscated and executed, and all the accomplices should be eliminated!"

Looking at Ning Fan's murderous face, even Emperor Yu was also shocked and said in a deep voice: "It's easy to destroy the Chen family, but what about after that?"

"Have you ever thought about what the Huainan side will do? What's the reaction? "

"How can the civil and military officials of the court, the scholars of the world, and even the other three families of the four great families stabilize the court?"

"Father, I just received news that Mr. Shen is on his way to Beijing."

After hearing Ning Fan's words, Emperor Yu also showed a trace of entanglement on his face. If he said that he didn't want to take action against the Chen family, it would definitely be a lie. Among the four great families, the Hu family controlled the salt road in the world, the Shui family controlled the water transport ferry of Dayu, and the Lu family's grain store almost monopolized the grain store in the world and manipulated the grain price.

He can tolerate all these, but only the Chen family has grasped the soft underbelly of the court!

You must know that Dayu is different from other countries. There are powerful enemies on all four borders. They have been suffering from wars for many years. The demand for weapons, armor and war horses is very large, and there is no room for error!

But such important strategic materials are controlled by a family!

Even the Chen family colluded with Huainan and conspired to rebel. In any case, Emperor Yu would not tolerate him!

But is it too early to kill now?

"Father!"

Looking at the tangled look on Emperor Yu's face, Ning Fan spoke again: "Tomorrow the three dukes will lead the army back. As long as we can take down the Chen family's private military workshop and horse farm with thunder and lightning, the Chen family will not pose any threat to us!"

"As for the Huainan direction, as far as I know, Huainan is in contact with the south and is not fully prepared. With Lu Kan's character, he will never act rashly!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Looking at Ning Fan's solemn face, Emperor Yu pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "I don't want you to interfere in this matter!"

Ning Fan's face also showed a touch of emotion, and his heart couldn't help but warm. As a behemoth, the Chen family, not to mention the disciples and old officials everywhere, just the party members in the court and the reputation among the people are enough to overwhelm him, the prince!

What's more, no one knows what kind of power the Chen family hides in secret!

Once Ning Fan personally destroys the Chen family, the secret forces of the Chen family will surely launch endless revenge. By then, the offended forces will not only be the Chen family, but the scholars of 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, no one is more suitable than me!"

"This case is not Jinyiwei, no one can handle it!"

"No one in the court is willing to risk the world's disapproval to destroy the Chen family, because they don't want to stand on the opposite side of the world's aristocratic families!"

"But I don't care!"

Ning Fan showed a free and easy smile on his face. If he wants to realize his ambitions in this era, he must stand on the opposite side of the aristocratic families!

Now, he is not sitting on the dragon throne, so there will be no direct conflict between the aristocratic families and the court!

In this way, with Emperor Yu acting as a mediator in the middle, no matter where he goes, there is room for maneuver!

Only by severely damaging the Chen family and letting the world's aristocratic families see his methods, can he take advantage of the situation to throw out the trump bomb and give the world's poor a chance to stand out!

"Son, I know that you have a lot of ambitions, and you are ruthless and have good plans."

"You have the shadow of your royal brother in the past, but you are more worldly-wise than him, but sometimes you are more violent!"

"I didn't expect that in just a short month, you have been reborn. In a blink of an eye, you can share my worries. I am very pleased!"

Emperor Yu rarely showed his true feelings. There was a little more warmth in his eyes when he looked at Ning Fan, but he quickly restrained it and sighed: "In the past, I hoped that you would become a talent, but now you can really stand on your own, which really makes me 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 himself, it would inevitably put the world's aristocratic families against the court!

By then, the imperial court will inevitably be in turmoil, but if Ning Fan can stand in front and block the spearhead of the aristocratic families, the pressure on Emperor Yu will be much lighter!

"Father, a real man has his own way of doing things and his own way of not doing things!"

"I have made up my mind and I have no regrets!"

Ning Fan's words were so powerful that Emperor Yu paused and nodded slightly: "Have you considered the position of the Minister of Revenue?"

"Reporting to Father, I recommend Chen Qinghe, the governor of Nanhe County!"

"Chen Qinghe!"

Emperor Yu's eyes lit up and he said slowly: "I know this person. He was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, but later he offended the powerful in the court and was exiled from the capital by your grandfather. This person has a strong character and is upright. Why?"

"Do you have a close relationship with this person?"

"Reporting to Father, I have never met Lord Chen!"

"Oh?"

Emperor Yu couldn't help showing a trace of surprise: "Then why did you recommend this person?"

"Father, I have sent Jinyiwei to investigate the personalities, reputations, and assessments of officials all over the world. Lord Chen has a good reputation and is not afraid of the powerful. I have also heard a little about what happened back then!"

"However, Lord Chen once worked in the Ministry of Revenue. If he can return to the imperial court and take charge of the Ministry of Revenue, he will surely help my father!"

"Yes!"

Emperor Yu nodded in appreciation and said with a smile, "How can you bear to hand over such an important position as the Minister of Revenue to an outsider?"

"Your Majesty, you are wrong!" Ning Fan shook his head slightly and said with a serious face, "This position of the Minister of Revenue is not decided by me alone. Not only must I get my father's approval, but I must also be able to shut up the court officials!"

"The most important thing is to be competent for the position and benefit the people. Otherwise, I will be with those who form cliques and engage in private interests. What's the difference between a minister of Gou?"

"Well said!"

Emperor Yu was immediately delighted, and sighed deeply: "I underestimated you before!"

"In that case, you should say hello to Chen Qinghe in advance!"

"Three days later, the imperial edict will be delivered, and you can enter the capital!"

Ning Fan knew that Emperor Yu intended to let him do a favor for Chen Qinghe, and bowed slightly: "Thank you, father!"

"Go down first, tomorrow the Duke of Zhenguo will return to the court, you and Ji Sui will welcome him on my behalf!"

"As ordered!"

Ning Fan strode out of the palace, Emperor Yu looked at the gradually receding back, and murmured: "Second brother, you are more suitable to take my position than the eldest brother, but it's a pity..."
