The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Chapter 182 The target is the Martial Emperor

The Second Prince has been caught with something wrong. It can be said that all the officials in the Ministry of Justice will listen to Ning Yi.

As long as they go to the court to testify together, the second prince will be thrown into jail immediately. Not to mention fighting for the throne, he will even lose his life. How can he not be afraid now?

Looking at the confident and high-spirited Sixth Prince in front of him, the Second Prince took a deep breath. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't. He sighed helplessly and said, "Sixth Prince, go ahead and say it. I admit defeat, but I have only one request: Don't harm my mother."

Ning Yi smiled on his face, but was delighted in his heart. Your mother is my woman, and she often acts coquettishly in this prince's arms.

But Ning Yi thought again, if this is the case, then he is his mother's man, so shouldn't he call this prince dad?

That’s not right, there’s still that old guy on the throne.

The two brothers have the same father, but he calls me "Dad" behind my back. Isn't this a mess?

Ning Yi thought about it again, and it seemed that this logic was wrong. This prince was not the real Wu Lingyun, and had no blood relationship with their Wu family. Who had the same father as him? The old guy above was just the old emperor.

After pretending to be the Sixth Prince for a long time, Ning Yi even felt like he was the Sixth Prince.

Ning Yi smiled and advised: "Second brother, please don't say that."

"How could I, a prince, harm your mother? She is so kind."

"Besides, this prince will not harm you."

The Second Prince was puzzled: "What do you mean? Don't you want to settle the score with me?"

He found it unbelievable. In his own opinion, if he caught Ning Yi's handle, he would definitely beat him to death.

That way, nothing will happen to me.

Who would dare to compete with me for the throne then?

Ning Yi smiled faintly and said, "This prince said he would not embarrass you, and that means he would not embarrass you."

"You are still the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and you are still the Regent. I even promise you that once you ascend the throne, you will be a free and unrestrained vassal king, and you can choose any place in the Wu Kingdom."

"If you're worried, that's fine. This prince will help you conquer a neighboring country, and you'll be the emperor there."

The Second Prince shuddered: "You, are you so kind?"

If Ning Yi wanted to deal with him now, it would be done in minutes.

But Lao Liu actually gave himself so many ways out. Isn't this just asking for trouble in the future?

Ning Yi smiled confidently and said, "Of course, as long as you cooperate with me."

"Because this prince's goal is not you, nor the position of Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, but the one sitting on the Dragon Throne. He is the real opponent."

Speaking of the old guy in the palace, Ning Yi looked at him with a long gaze and felt emotional.

The Martial Emperor is worthy of his name, he is quite powerful.

Ever since the fourth prince got into trouble, he has been weakening the crown prince's military power while also trying to force him to fight with the second prince from time to time.

Didn’t Emperor Wu just want to see the people below fighting with each other so that he could sit safely on the dragon throne and act as a referee?

This way no one can threaten his throne.

Similarly, Ning Yi also knew that if the second prince fell.

If no one competes with him, Emperor Wu will target him.

If the Martial Emperor wants to deal with him, Ning Yi will not be able to resist with his current strength.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to push the second prince to the position of prince, and the two of them continue to compete in name only.

In order to calm Emperor Wu's mentality, I took the opportunity to develop slowly.

The Second Prince's eyes widened: "Sixth Prince, do you still want to compete with Father?"

"Impossible, you can't beat him at all. You have no idea how terrifying he is."

The second prince suffered a great loss at the hands of Emperor Wu.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a mess now.

If he still had the 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, even if Emperor Wu knew that he had framed his brothers, what would he be afraid of?

I believe that Emperor Wu would just give him a scolding.

He didn't want to push his son, the crown prince, into a corner. If he really started a rebellion, with 100,000 troops surrounding the capital, what would Emperor Wu use to resist?

Ning Yi rolled his eyes and said, "That's your father, not this prince's father."

"This prince has to fight, otherwise there will be no good ending. Second brother, believe it or not, in his heart, it is very likely that the true heir is not you, nor this prince."

The Second Prince was suddenly shocked. After a moment of daze, he finally reacted and gave a wry smile: "A word of truth awakens a dreamer. I was indeed deceived by him."

The Second Prince, who was previously full of enthusiasm, had never thought of Ning Yi's words.

He felt that Emperor Wu had at most not yet decided who would be the successor. It would simply be a matter of choosing between him and the Sixth Old Man.

Unexpectedly, after the Sixth Prince said this, the Second Prince had no choice but to believe it after having experienced so much.

Ning Yi said leisurely: "So, we have to fight. If Second Brother is willing to help this prince, this prince will give you enough protection, otherwise..."

The second prince has now reacted and has no way out. He knows that even if he doesn't cooperate, the sixth prince can still deal with him.

"Even if I help you, it's not so easy for the emperor to move. After all, he is..."

Ning Yi quickly interrupted him: "Isn't it just military power?"

“It’s not like this thing has always been there.”

Ning Yi naturally knew that the most powerful thing about Emperor Wu was his military power.

In the entire Dawu Kingdom, although Emperor Wu is now seriously ill, a large amount of military power is still in his hands.

He only needs to say a word, and there are many generals in the country who will obey his orders.

Han Dingtian was nominally the commander of an army of 200,000 in the north, but the generals under him only obeyed the imperial edict.

That’s not all. There are also troops from other places and countless generals who were promoted by him personally and follow the Emperor Wu’s lead.

But Ning Yi has his own confidence. He just needs to take it slow and he can defeat all of Emperor Wu's troops.

What he lacks now is time. When the time comes, he will naturally let Emperor Wu know that his orders are no longer effective and no one in the entire Great Wu Kingdom will listen to him.

Seeing how confident he was, the Second Prince shook his head slightly and stopped trying to persuade him.

He even thought in his heart that he wished Ning Yi would touch the hard rock of Emperor Wu, so that Old Six would get beaten to a bloody pulp, and he might have a chance to turn things around.

However, the Second Prince was puzzled: "Sixth Prince, I have a question."

Ning Yi took one look at him and knew exactly what the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace wanted to ask: "Do you think it's strange that the entire Ministry of Justice listens to me?"

How could the Second Prince not be surprised? He always felt that the entire court should listen to him.

It was very easy to deal with Lao Liu. On the surface, Lao Liu only had more than a thousand little servants who trained him all day long.

And there are those little brothers, just two or three big and small, but how did the Sixth Brother suddenly take control of the entire court?

Ning Yi said leisurely: "It's very simple. Besides that person, there is another person who can command all officials, and that is the Prime Minister."

The Second Prince suddenly understood: "No wonder, no wonder it is so, the Prime Minister actually deceived me like this."
