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

The Sixth Prince killed Wang Kui, the Director of the Grain Storage Department, in public in the hall of the Grain Storage Department. He was a third-rank official.

Emperor Wu was shocked at first, then furious: "You bastard, you've caused me so much trouble again."

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Emperor Wu was so angry that he couldn't stop coughing. The virtuous concubine beside him was also shocked at first, and then her eyebrows suddenly lit up with joy. She gave a look to a palace maid beside her. The palace maid silently stepped back and left to report the news to the Fourth Prince. Such a big news must be seized well.

The virtuous concubine immediately helped the Emperor Wu to smooth his chest: "Your Majesty, please do not let your anger harm your body."

Emperor Wu was already furious as he spoke, and it wasn't light. He coughed for a while before saying in a cold and angry tone: "Old Six, this rebellious son, is so audacious. It's outrageous."

However, he did not immediately order the arrest of the Sixth Prince. Instead, he asked Chief Steward Zhao to go to the Grain Storage Office to inquire about the situation.

Not long after, Manager Zhao came back and gave a detailed account of the oral descriptions given by other staff members of the Grain Storage Bureau.

Although Emperor Wu's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold, his anger had subsided a little.

The virtuous concubine looked at Emperor Wu eagerly, hoping that the emperor would order the arrest of the Sixth Prince and take him to the prison for strict interrogation.

Unfortunately, the Emperor Wu just listened to everything and said calmly: "There will be a morning court tomorrow. Let Lao Liu attend."

Emperor Wu had not attended the morning court for a while because of his serious illness. Now he actually held a separate morning court because of the Sixth Prince's matter.

In the living room of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the Fourth Prince laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, Sixth Brother, ah, Sixth Brother, your performance this time really made me very happy."

"Brother, I was just thinking about how to deal with you, but you ended up stabbing yourself first. Are you stupid or foolish?"

The Fourth Prince was extremely happy. He was the Chief Secretary of the Grain Storage Department, a third-rank official, but was killed on the spot by the bastard the Sixth Prince.

This was the first time since the founding of the dynasty that a prince had executed an important official on the spot.

According to the rules of the Dawu Kingdom, if an official breaks the law, even if you have actual evidence, you still need to arrest him at the Dali Temple first, interrogate him strictly, and have the three judicial officials sit in court together to confirm his guilt before handing him over to the emperor for execution.

Let alone the prince, even if you were the emperor, you couldn't just kill a minister for no reason.

Killing ministers without any evidence at will, how could anyone in the court feel safe?

Lao Liu’s recklessness this time could not save him no matter what.

The Fourth Prince immediately ordered the butler, "Tell the Prime Minister to have our people report the Sixth Prince to the court tomorrow morning. This time, I will make sure this bastard never gets a chance to stand up again."

Thinking of the scene where he was suppressed by the Sixth Prince a while ago, the Fourth Prince's back teeth itched.

Now I think that if Lao Liu is thrown into the Heavenly Prison, I will go there myself to deal with him and torture him with all kinds of tortures.

The news spread quickly in the capital. In less than two hours, a large number of officials in the capital had received the news.

There was shock, contempt, and excitement, especially the group of civil servants, who colluded with each other and threatened to smash the arrogant and domineering Sixth Prince to death with a hammer.

Killing a third-rank civil servant in public, who among the civil servants in the court would be willing to forgive him? Otherwise, everyone's life would be in danger in the future.

The real Sixth Prince was watching the training of the new servants in the Prince's Mansion as if nothing had happened.

Qin Haifeng dressed them all in neat and tidy clothes, and they all had dark skin, and did various exercises in the front yard.

Ning Yi found it quite boring.

Although there were only twenty guards, Qin Haifeng's training did not involve lining up or standing at attention. He just asked each of them to lift various objects and exercise.

If everyone trains individually, how can we produce elite soldiers?

The servant at the gate came running to report: "Your Highness, a eunuch has come to the palace."

Ning Yi had already prepared everything and nodded slightly: "I understand."

Qin Haifeng came over and said worriedly, "Your Highness, this person who came to the palace must have been executed by the Emperor. You must be careful."

This time is not like the last time they arrested His Highness. Last time, the Sixth Prince could be said to have framed him.

But this time you executed an official in public, so you can't deny it.

According to the laws of the Dawu Kingdom, killing a court official without reason would be equivalent to rebellion and treason.

Ning Yi didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry, it's just a eunuch coming, not the imperial guards. What's there to be afraid of? Let's go and greet him."

Qin Haifeng's mind was full of worries, but seeing that his prince didn't take it seriously at all, he could only follow him and leave.

He also scolded the guards who had stopped training: "You are the ones training. Anyone who dares to slack off will be whipped ten times."

As soon as I reached the gate, a eunuch walked in.

Ning Yi went up to him, bowed, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Zhao, why did you come in person?"

This eunuch Zhao is the most trusted person around Emperor Wu, and everyone has to be very polite when they see him.

Even the princes and concubines in the harem did not dare to neglect him.

Ning Yi's address of "you" brought a slight smile to Eunuch Zhao's originally cold face.

"I have been ordered to inform His Highness."

Ning Yi didn't rush to ask about the situation, but instead instructed: "Haifeng, immediately send the servants to the main hall to prepare good wine and drinks. Eunuch Zhao has come all this way, he can't go without even a sip of wine."

Qin Haifeng was very smart at this time. He took the order and ran away quickly.

Eunuch Zhao smiled and waved his hand: "Your Highness, please don't bother me like this."

"I only have one message for you. I need to return to the palace to report immediately."

"Is that so?" Ning Yi nodded seriously, "Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Zhao."

The next moment, Eunuch Zhao was stunned. Ning Yi bowed deeply towards the palace, then raised his hands to the sky and said, "Please convey the emperor's order."

Eunuch Zhao was enlightened. He used to convey the emperor's words to certain ministers, princes and nobles, as well as princes and princesses.

Just give him some instructions casually, at most give him some silver or something like that.

Someone like the Sixth Prince even bowed towards the palace with his hands raised to the sky. Isn't this gesture a little too respectful?

Eunuch Zhao couldn't possibly say that Your Highness was acting so pretentiously, as it was too fake.

Not to mention him, even Qin Haifeng and a group of guards were confused. What was His Highness doing? Was he acting?

"Ahem." Eunuch Zhao coughed twice to ease the awkwardness, then shouted in a duck voice, "Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered you to attend the morning court tomorrow."

It’s just this one sentence, you can just say it casually in your daily life.

If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor took this matter very seriously, and that the Sixth Prince, despite being a prince, had committed such a serious crime, Eunuch Zhao wouldn't have had to come himself, and could have just sent a eunuch to run errands.

Some young eunuchs, in order to save trouble, would just tell the gatekeeper when delivering the message and then turn around and slip away.

This was the first time Ning Yi had ever seen such a grand scene.

After listening to this, Ning Yi shouted loudly towards the palace: "I will obey my father's order."

The whole process was quite impressive. Everyone else looked at them strangely, and some even couldn't help but burst out laughing.

However, after being glared at by Qin Haifeng, who also looked aggrieved, he immediately behaved himself.
