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

Chapter 381 The decisive battle is coming

If Chen Yuanqing can defeat the rebels here, the entire war will be completely over.

"This battle should be the decisive battle. Before I reach the capital, the rebellion in Jiangnan should be completely quelled. It's time for you Jinyi Guards to be dispatched. Don't let the imperial army suffer too much damage."

Ning Fan said to Qianhu Lei Zhen of Jinyi Guard.

The most important thing in a war is intelligence, and Jin Yiwei can provide the most authentic intelligence to the imperial army. This is one of the reasons why Ning Fan has such a clear grasp of the entire war situation. After the rebellion in Jiangnan is quelled this time, a large number of Jinyiwei troops will be sent to the northwest to assist Chen Qiao and Huang Chao in quelling the rebellion there.

After the entire seven provinces in Jiangnan were judged, Ning Fan was actually excited and happy. The rebellion in Jiangnan was like a sore being popped.

It is better to expose it earlier than to be exposed later. According to Zhou Qun, this time is just right. The Eighty Thousand Rebellion in Jiangnan also directly indicates that the big landowners and bureaucrats in Jiangnan will be completely destroyed. Crush.

When Ning Fan returned to the capital to preside over Dakang's first imperial examination, it was because of Ning Fan's own considerations. At the current speed, the first batch of talents selected from the imperial examination will be able to enter training in two months. stage.

In five months at most, this group of talents can be entrusted with important tasks and sent to various places in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Your Majesty has been sitting on the boat these days and wandering around. I feel that my feet are weak. Why don't we go to a nearby market town to play today? I heard that there is a place called Qianlong Town nearby. It is very popular there. It’s bustling, and it’s the March fireworks season recently, and there’s also a temple fair here.”

Huang Yumeng said with some yearning.

Fireworks fall in Yangzhou in March, and Ning Fan also yearns for the folk customs of various places.

Dakang has a large territory and a lot of people, but many places are very poor, but the Jiangnan area is a complete exception. Jiangnan is a land of plenty, and many places are very wealthy, especially some large markets with a population of tens of thousands and are prosperous. The level of affluence is astonishing.

Ning Fan had heard of Qianlong Town before. It was as prosperous as Kyoto. The economy of this place was very prosperous because of its specialties.

The specialty Qianlong silk is a kind of silk with a special texture. Made from this Qianlong silk, the clothes are smooth and smooth, and it is cool and refreshing when worn. It is an absolute luxury in this era.

Ning Fan couldn't withstand the offensive of the beautiful woman, and after being nudged by Huang Yumeng, he finally agreed to take Huang Yumeng and Xiao Lingxi to Qianlong Town to attend the temple fair.

"The crowds of people are shouting and cheering. The ostentation is too big and it affects the people. Let's just visit privately incognito."

After Ning Fan thought for a while, he made a decision.

However, his simple decision made Jin Yiwei a little embarrassed. After all, they had to protect Ning Fan, and safety was a very important task.

If something goes wrong, they will be punished from top to bottom, so the Jinyi guards never dare to be careless about Ning Fan's safety. Even these days, the vegetables, rice and noodles used on Ning Fan's dragon boat have been passed by every level. layer filtered.

If the raw materials of a dish want to enter Ning Fan's mouth, they must be tasted by ten or even dozens of people to ensure safety before entering Ning Fan's process.

Moreover, there are many people at the temple fair and the personnel are very complicated. It is even more difficult to protect Ning Fan's safety. If Ning Fan appears at the temple fair as the emperor, then the clearance is certain, but in this way the meaning of visiting the temple fair is lost.

Lei Zhen was also worried. He was the person sent by Jinyiwei to be responsible for Ning Fan's safety. Don't forget that he was called Lei Zhen and you would think that he was a reckless man. In fact, although Lei Zhen was tall and tall, he was a bold and careful person.

"Your Majesty, you want to pay a private visit incognito to understand the public sentiment. I dare not object to this, but security issues must also be taken seriously."

Lei Zhen felt a big headache, because if Ning Fan went to the temple fair, it would be difficult to solve the safety problem.

Moreover, Ning Fan also gave an order to the Jin Yiwei, that is, they are not allowed to affect the temple fair of the common people, let alone let the common people know that the emperor has come, everything must be kept secret, which is the most difficult thing.

At this time, Ning Fan had changed into a white robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking like a handsome young man.

Xiao Lingxi and Huang Yumeng also put on men's clothing at the same time. They were like fairies descending from the Nine Heavens to the mortal world. Although they were dressed in men's clothing, they had charming faces.

"I do have an idea."

Ning Fan felt a little funny when he saw Lei Zhen's embarrassed look.

Ning Fan himself is a special soldier, and Wang Ye has naturally participated in actions that failed to maintain security. Ning Fan himself has experience in security.

When Lei Zhen heard what Ning Fan said, his ears suddenly twitched, as if he was willing to hear the details.

"Look what the three of us are wearing?"

Ning Fan nodded at Lei Zhen.

Lei Zhen suddenly understood and looked at Ning Fan with surprise on his face and said: "Your Majesty, I understand. I will select five hundred smart and capable personnel from the Imperial Guards and let them wear common people's clothes and blend into the temple fair tomorrow." ."

Hearing that Lei Zhen wanted to send 500 people to protect his own safety, Ning Fan thought it was too exaggerated. He shook his head and eventually reduced the number to 200 people.

Ning Fan has admired Qianlong Town for a long time, but when he actually arrived in Tianlong Town, he was finally amazed by the prosperity of this small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The three of them took a small boat and slowly entered Qiannong Town through the waterway. Looking at the bustling crowds on both sides of the strait, Ning Fan felt as if he was in another world. This kind of scene can only be seen in ancient games in later generations, and even Even TV series can't capture such an authentic feeling.

After landing, Yinfan found a lot of Jin Yiwei personnel around. These Jin Yiwei personnel were often tall and had sharp eyes. Although they were mixed in the crowd, Ning Fan could still tell at a glance that these were Jin Yiwei's personnel. .

Although Ning Fan, Xiao Lingxi and Huang Yumeng were dressed in ordinary clothes, they still attracted attention when walking on the street. Whether it was appearance or temperament, they were unique beings in such a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Especially Huang Yumeng and Xiao Lingxi, both of them have different figures, but their appearance and temperament really make many young girls look at them sideways, and some girls even take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Brother Ning, I want to eat candied haws."

Huang Yumeng gently pulled Ning Fan's arm.

Ning Fan was so entangled by Huang Yumeng that he couldn't help it. With a sweet smile on his face, he led Huang Yuwang to the stall selling candied haws. Xiao Lingxi looked at the backs of the two of them and couldn't help but smile.
