Chapter 175 I also come to pay my respects
Ning Yi silently watched the Dongfang family team leave and turned back to the mansion.
Qin Haifeng couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, have you compromised with the King's Uncle?"
He really couldn't figure out what the prince and the king's uncle were talking about.
It actually made the two people, who were already at loggerheads, become like brothers.
Ning Yi smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just promised some benefits to the Dongfang family."
As for what happened between him and Dongfang Qing, no one could tell.
But you can tell Dongfang Wang.
It can also be guaranteed that even if Dongfang Wang knew, he would not dare to tell anyone.
After all, Dongfang Qing is related to the honor of the Dongfang family, and it can be said that if one suffers, all will suffer.
Although Dongfang Wang was dissatisfied, he had to conceal this scandal.
Similarly, in order to gain the support of the Dongfang family, Ning Yi had no choice but to expose Dongfang Qing.
In this way, Dongfang Wang can get absolute benefits, and he will no longer help the second brother.
Ning Yi looked at Zeng Rou and said, "Girl, send a message to the Intelligence Department."
"Next, continue recruiting soldiers."
"Ah?" Zeng Rou was stunned, a little surprised: "Your Highness, isn't the capital under martial law now? It's not appropriate to recruit more soldiers."
"No problem." Ning Yi didn't care: "No need to come to the capital."
"They can go to Bingzhou and Kaizhou and recruit 10,000 each."
"The sixth batch of students will be leaving for Hushan Pass in the next two days. Tell the Intelligence Department to recruit the eighth batch of students immediately."
Ning Yi's words surprised them both.
This time, Ning Yi quietly gathered 8,000 troops near Hushan Pass. Together with the students of the sixth term, he almost gathered 10,000 troops.
Prepare to form the third army once the sixth batch of servants are in place.
They had 50,000 soldiers and horses directly under their command.
But now His Highness has directly ordered the Intelligence Department to send an army to Bingzhou and Kaizhou respectively. Isn’t that too bold?
Qin Haifeng is generally responsible for Ning Yi's communication matters.
He worriedly said, "Your Highness, Bingzhou and Kaizhou are not too far from the capital, but we are not familiar with these two places. Training troops there would easily be discovered by local officials, and it would also be difficult to transport food, fodder, and weapons. If Your Majesty were to learn of this, it would be extremely disadvantageous to Your Highness."
He really couldn't understand why Ning Yi would set up military camps in these two places. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Ning Yi smiled confidently and said, "It doesn't matter. The old emperor won't know, and no one will tell him."
"As for food and weapons, it's difficult for us to transport them, but it's easy for the Dongfang family to transport them. We're not familiar with the local officials, but the Dongfang family is. That's enough."
This is the effect he wants.
Just now in the hall, the idea of choosing a location for training troops was raised. Dongfang Wang said on the spot that they could just go to Bingzhou and Kaizhou, which are close to the capital, to train and set up camp there.
The local prefect is one of their own, and many officials at all levels below him have a good relationship with the Dongfang family.
Besides, Ning Yi can just train the guard team in the name of the Dongfang family.
Although the number of people in this escort team is a bit large, how would others know about it?
With the support of the Dongfang family, Ning Yi will be able to handle many things easily.
Don’t underestimate the fact that there are nearly 200,000 newly mobilized troops and horses near the capital, as well as tens of thousands of newly selected imperial guards.
But Ning Yi can set up a military camp further out.
By then, the entire capital city will be surrounded by Emperor Wu’s troops, while outside will be surrounded by Ning Yi’s troops.
I believe it will shock everyone.
Ning Yi is now acting as confident.
With the Prime Minister on their side, the Dongfang family was won over. As for the Second Prince, he had long since ignored him.
It has become a decoration without any threat.
As for the Confucian scholars who followed him, the nominally benevolent prince.
Apart from talking big, what other abilities do you have?
Ning Yi looked down upon these people who talked about morality and justice but were actually useless.
......
In Kunning Palace, Ning Yi came to hang out with the Queen again.
Since Dongfang Wang wants Dongfang Qing to get pregnant sooner, Ning Yi naturally has to try his best.
Although he was taking advantage of Dongfang Qing, Ning Yi didn't feel any guilt at all.
Of course, after ascending the throne, he will definitely protect the most beautiful woman in Wu State.
At present, Ning Yi can make good use of anyone in order to ascend the throne.
After the storm.
The two of them hesitated for a while before putting on their clothes.
Ning Yi sat on the chair, hugging the beautiful woman and was reluctant to let go.
Dongfang Qing also let go completely and gave herself to the Sixth Prince, whom she could not stop.
Sitting on his lap, acting like a little girl, she fed Ning Yi wine and said tenderly, "Your Majesty, I was tortured by you just now and I felt really bad. You don't feel sorry for me at all."
Looking at Dongfang Qing who was still pouting and acting coquettishly, Ning Yi gently kissed her and coaxed her: "My beloved, I don't just feel sorry for you, I love you with my whole body. Come and let me love you all over."
"Oh, Your Majesty, you are so bad, chuckle chuckle chuckle ..."
The two people in the hall were laughing and talking happily when someone outside suddenly shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
Dongfang Qing, who was acting coquettishly just now, sat up nimbly as if on a spring.
He quickly tidied his clothes and sat in the main seat.
Ning Yi felt a little bored, so he stood up and said with a smile: "My beloved, I'm leaving first. You should have a good rest and wait for me to favor you next time."
Dongfang Qing, who was sitting in the main seat, raised her willow-shaped eyebrows and smiled gently, saying, "Your Majesty, I will remember your words and will not break them."
Looking at the two of them like lovers in love, Ning Yi turned around and left with great satisfaction.
As soon as I walked out of the hall, I saw the second prince walking towards me in a brocade dragon robe.
The Second Prince frowned when he saw him here: "Sixth Prince, why are you here with my mother?"
"That's what I said." Ning Yi leaned his hands on his back and walked over. "Second brother, the Queen is your mother, and she is also my mother. Naturally, I come to pay my respects to her."
"Are you so kind?" The second prince didn't believe it at all.
"Believe it or not." Ning Yi passed by and said, "Second brother, you can go ask the Queen."
Watching Ning Yi leave, the Second Prince asked the maid at the door, "Why did the Sixth Prince come to my mother's place?"
Well, the palace maid didn’t dare to say anything more, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked.
They had no choice but to explain: "The Sixth Prince came to see the Empress and said he had something important to discuss."
"What important matter do they have?" The second prince muttered to himself.
Logically speaking, the Sixth Prince had no connection with the Empress, and she was not his biological mother, so how could she be so kind as to come and pay her respects?
The second prince has been having trouble with the sixth prince recently.
He was also thinking about how to get rid of Lao Liu's group of followers in the court.
So far, the effect is very good, and Tan Donglin and the other two are almost being squeezed out of the capital.
The second prince also had someone keep an eye on Ning Yi to see if the sixth prince could find any way to hold on to these younger brothers.
If he can't protect it, I believe no one in the court will be willing to follow him in the future. Otherwise, if something happens and he gets into trouble, there will be no one to help him. Who would like that?
