Chapter 170 The King's Uncle Visits
In the capital, at the Sixth Prince's Mansion, a super luxurious carriage arrived at the door that morning.
Dozens of strong guards were protecting him.
Dongfang Wang came out of the carriage dressed in brocade clothes.
He stared at the plaque of the Sixth Prince's Mansion with a complex and secretly hateful look, snorted coldly and said lightly: "Go and knock on the door."
The old butler was honest next to him, but very courageous in front of outsiders.
He said calmly to the servant at the door of the prince's mansion: "Tell your Highness."
"The prince's uncle is here to visit, tell him to come out and greet him."
Ning Yi was watching his more than a thousand servants undergoing rigorous training in the front yard.
Since the last battle, the servants seemed to have been sublimated. Just from their appearance and aura, one could tell that they were quite different from before.
After going to the battlefield, you will complete a transformation.
He felt that his future students must participate in actual combat before being placed in the army.
Otherwise, with only a few months of training and no practical experience, your strength will really be insufficient.
Ning Yi is now waiting slowly, although he is no longer expanding.
After just a few months of rigorous training in the military camp, the First Army and the Second Army have already developed combat effectiveness.
The officers and soldiers have become quite coordinated, and it is expected that they can be deployed for battle at any time after some time.
However, if the new army wants to have absolute combat effectiveness and be trustworthy, it must have actual combat experience.
Therefore, among the new army, whenever any mission is dispatched, they are drawn from the army.
Try to give them a chance to take turns on the battlefield.
At present, outside the capital, the hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops have become the army mobilized by the emperor.
The generals all obey the emperor, and it is difficult for others to interfere.
Ning Yi even had to stop using the magic flower used by the Intelligence Department.
If this method were discovered and exposed, Ning Yi would have no chance of survival in the Great Wu Kingdom and would definitely become a target of attack and killing.
However, some tricks can still be used in other directions.
Especially in the direction of Hushan Pass, which is only more than 300 miles away from the capital, it is the territory of Duke Dingguo.
The army of more than 70,000 nominally at Hushan Pass was under the command of Duke Dingguo.
According to intelligence reports, Duke Dingguo has been operating in Hushan Pass for many years, and his current military strength has actually reached 100,000.
The troops of the entire Hushan Pass are ready to go into battle at any time, which is a rare phenomenon.
After all, although Hushan Pass is an important defensive stronghold of the capital and a barrier to the north, it is located in the inland area after all.
It is normal to be lax at ordinary times.
Now I am much more positive.
Ning Yi felt that Duke Dingguo of Hushan Pass might very likely rebel in the near future.
For this purpose, the Intelligence Department was specifically sent to reach out to Hushan Pass.
Find a way to use the magic flower on some generals in Hushan Pass who are not particularly valued.
On the premise of greatly weakening Duke Dingguo's military strength, he remained undiscovered.
On the other hand, the Intelligence Department was asked to select the most reliable troops of more than 8,000 from the troops left behind by the Fourth Brother.
They hid in the mountains less than a hundred miles away from Hushan Pass and carried out strict training.
Before long, the sixth batch of students will head towards Hushan Pass to serve in the army.
By then, this army of 10,000 soldiers will be enough to capture Hushan Pass at the critical moment with the help of internal and external forces.
It has been a while since the incident involving the fourth brother, and no one is talking about it anymore.
Since the Beijing camp replaced the large group, the emperor has been completely relieved.
Ning Yi didn't care about the threat from the second prince at all. He was just a child who grew up in the deep palace.
The only thing he had left were the 20,000 soldiers and horses that could be eaten at any time.
He hardly even had to do anything, because the old Emperor Wu was probably watching him with a covetous eye.
At this time, the servant came to report: "Your Highness, the King's uncle is here to visit. Please go out to greet him."
Dongfang Wang arrived in person, and Qin Haifeng immediately said, "Your Highness, since he's here, it seems the matter can be resolved. Why don't you go out and greet him? After all, he is the emperor's uncle."
The Queen's elder brother and the Emperor's brother-in-law.
Logically speaking, Ning Yi should also call him uncle.
But Ning Yi said calmly: "This prince has official business to attend to, so I will not go out to greet you. Let the uncle come directly to the central hall."
After giving the order, he turned around and left. To Ning Yi, Dongfang Wang now had several leverages in his hands, yet he acted like the king's uncle and failed to recognize the reality.
If you are not convinced, just go back. We will never stop you.
The servant came out and told the old housekeeper: "Your Highness has official business to attend to. Please come directly to the Central Palace to be my guest."
"Nonsense." The old housekeeper glared. "My master is the uncle of the emperor. Even the Crown Prince would have to bow if he saw him. But the Sixth Prince is so rude."
The old butler is very dignified. As the saying goes, a seventh-rank official is the best in front of the prime minister.
Not to mention that he is the emperor's uncle, even the prefect or the governor would greet the old butler when they see him.
But the servant said calmly, "Since the uncle-in-law does not wish to be a guest, please go back."
"You..." The old butler pointed at him and wanted to get angry.
I never thought that a little servant would dare to speak to him like that.
If it were in Qingzhou, he would have been beaten to death with clubs.
But this is the capital city. No matter how much the old butler cares about his reputation, he knows that the capital city is not a place where he can lose his temper and act wildly.
What's more, he was standing at the gate of the Sixth Prince's mansion, and he also knew about the problems between his master and the Sixth Prince.
"Hmph." The old butler snorted in dissatisfaction: "I'll settle the score with you later."
The servant curled his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to him, muttering in his heart, we are all servants, but you, the steward of the emperor's uncle, are so domineering and don't even think about where you are coming from.
In the entire capital, when it comes to domineering, who is more domineering than my prince?
The old butler had no choice but to report to the uncle who had been waiting for a while: "Master, they are so rude that they didn't even come out to greet you and let you go to the palace by yourself."
Dongfang Wang's eyes also flashed with anger. In the entire Great Wu Kingdom, he was not afraid of anyone except the Emperor Wu.
Even if Emperor Wu wanted to deal with him, he must have sufficient evidence, otherwise all the aristocratic families would not agree.
If it were any other time, the Sixth Prince would have gone up and scolded him if he dared to do this to him.
But now, when he thought about the fact that the Sixth Prince had a hold on him, he felt so aggrieved.
He also had a grim expression on his face, and said lightly, "It's okay, let's get down to business first, and we can talk about the rest later."
Anyway, the Sixth Prince can't escape. As long as we can get through this hurdle, there will be plenty of opportunities and ways to deal with the lawless Sixth Prince in the future.
Enter the Sixth Prince’s Gate.
The first thing I saw was a large square where a group of soldiers wearing fine armor and holding various weapons were fighting fiercely.
Dongfang Wang watched for a while before asking a nearby guard, "Were you defeated by them?"
The guard beside him lowered his head with a bitter expression: "Master, their fighting power is extraordinary."
"Extraordinary bullshit." Dongfang Wang was very dissatisfied and had no intention of lowering his voice.
"They are just a bunch of little brats. They defeated you with just a bamboo pole. What a bunch of losers."
