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

Ning Yi's words scared Censor Zhang.

He looked worriedly at the expressionless emperor on the stage.

If the Sixth Prince really forced him to go to Hushan Pass, he would be scared to death.

He might be able to talk in the rear, but can he really go to the battlefield? That would cost lives.

Censor Zhang immediately said, "Sixth Prince, I am only the Censor..."

"What's wrong with the Censor?" Ning Yi said disdainfully, "Isn't the Censor an official of the Great Wu Kingdom?"

"How many county magistrates and prefects, as well as countless students, have fought against the barbarians on the front lines. You're not saying that you, a dignified censor, dare not contribute to the fight against the barbarians, but only shout from the rear?"

Han Yushi immediately said, "Sixth Prince, are you afraid to let others question you?"

"You threaten to go to war if anyone questions you?"

Ning Yi sneered: "Asking you to resist the barbarians and contribute to the Wu Kingdom, is that a threat?"

These words made Han Yushi depressed. This was clearly a threat, but he had no way to explain it.

Ning Yi glanced around at the group of people talking nonsense and said calmly, "If anyone feels that I haven't contributed much to the resistance against the barbarians, it's very simple. Go to Hushan Pass and experience it for yourself. Then I will personally lead you to the battlefield."

"Let you all experience it with your own eyes, so that you don't have to keep doubting and skeptical. You're just talking nonsense, and none of you dare to contribute to the country."

These words made the crowd of talkers blush and became very angry.

Some ministers lowered their heads and wanted to laugh. The Sixth Prince didn't leave any way out for his talkativeness.

This is what it means to force the mouth cannon to death.

Another imperial censor stood up and snorted coldly, "Sixth Prince, if His Majesty were to ask you, would you also want His Majesty to go to Hushan Pass and see for himself?"

Speaking of His Majesty, the old emperor on the stage looked at the sixth brother with a flash of his eyes.

He was already dissatisfied with Lao Liu, so naturally he allowed these imperial censors to question him.

Now that it has come to this, let’s see how Lao Liu responds.

There was even danger in the old emperor's eyes. If the sixth brother dared to disrespect, the old emperor would put him in jail right now.

As for Hushan Pass, even if a marshal is forcibly sent, I believe it will take until after the New Year for the training of the army to be completed.

Besides, the barbarians are still negotiating, so there is no need to fight them.

This time even the prime minister, who had been silent all this time, looked over.

The Prime Minister frowned slightly. He glanced at the Second Prince and quickly realized that the Second Prince was deliberately causing trouble.

Similarly, it is also understood that the Second Prince also guessed the old emperor's intention, and it was only with the old emperor's support that he would go against the Sixth Prince.

He was very worried that the Sixth Prince would give the wrong answer, otherwise once the old emperor got angry, there would be really no one who could save him at this time.

Ning Yi's expression was calm as he solemnly bowed to the Emperor Wu: "Father, of course, is different."

"Because my father once led an army of hundreds of thousands and personally fought a decisive battle with the barbarians, and even defeated them. My father worked tirelessly for the Great Wu Kingdom, and even personally killed the barbarians on the battlefield. For many years, he spent a lot of effort on the Great Wu Kingdom, which is why the Great Wu Kingdom has always been peaceful and prosperous."

"Father is an expert in military affairs and state affairs. Who in the entire Great Wu Nation can compare to him? He is truly an emperor unparalleled in history."

Ning Yi's words left many ministers stunned.

This is really praising the Emperor Wu to the extreme, saying he is both civil and military.

Emperor Wu's expression relaxed, and he became even more excited when he heard that he was the greatest emperor of all time.

If this title were written into history, it would be much more glorious than that of countless emperors in the past.

Ning Yi looked at the imperial censors coldly again: "But you, you know nothing about military affairs. When I asked you to experience the battlefield, you were all scared to death. You can only talk nonsense in the rear, and you dare to compete with father."

"When it comes to leading troops in battle, governing a country, and military strategy, are you even a match?"

Naturally, the imperial censors would not refute such words. If they did, it would be denying the achievements of Emperor Wu.

Ning Yi even bowed and said loudly to the Emperor Wu, "Father, I suggest that these imperial censors go to the battlefield to experience it. Otherwise, if they interfere in military affairs without any knowledge, it will be a disruption to the government and even worse than talking about military affairs on paper."

Several imperial censors were frightened and immediately looked at the second prince anxiously.

The Second Prince is their master. If the master cannot save them, they will end up in a miserable state.

Who would want to go to the battlefield at this time?

The second prince was also anxious. He didn't think the old emperor would really do that.

The old emperor didn't rush to answer. He just looked around and asked, "Second brother."

The Second Prince then stood up and bowed honestly: "Your son is here."

The old emperor said calmly, "Sixth Brother is your younger brother. As his elder brother, shouldn't you also say a few words?"

Ning Yi rolled his eyes in his heart. The old man clearly knew that these dogs belonged to the second brother. He let the second brother speak at this time, wasn't he just trying to give the second brother a way out?

He still secretly supports the second brother and wants him to compete with him.

The Second Prince coughed, then stood up and said, "Father, Sixth Brother is right."

"It's true that you haven't seen the battlefield yet, so you're asking random questions. It's better to talk about it on paper."

But the Second Prince changed the subject and said, "But the Imperial Censors are, after all, civil officials who are well-versed in history books. If they are forced to go to the battlefield without even any training, wouldn't that be deliberate deception?"

Ning Yi smiled and said, "Second brother, that's no problem. I can train them for a few months and make sure they can all hold a knife."

The Second Prince looked at him unhappily and said, "Sixth brother, has the situation on the front line reached the point where we must force all these scholars to go to the battlefield?"

"Who says scholars don't have to go to the battlefield?" Ning Yi stepped forward and said quickly, "How many county magistrates and prefects on the front lines fought desperately against the barbarians until their cities were broken and their people were killed? Aren't they scholars?"

"Of course, if that's the case." Ning Yi pointed at a few pale-faced imperial censors and said, "We can let them go to the front and serve as county magistrates first. That should be fine."

This won't work either. The county magistrates on the front lines are all eager to leave. How many of them are willing to become officials at this time?

The second prince's face was terribly gloomy.

He really didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that he would really start arguing with Lao Liu, which was really not going to work.

Finally, the Martial Emperor said, "Okay."

"The issue of human life is the business of the Ministry of Personnel. It's not something you two brothers can decide with just a few words. What will happen then?"

Ning Yi also knew that after hearing what the old emperor said, he should stop.

He took the initiative to bow and said: "Father, I have taught you this. I will remember it."

Ning Yi now listens to the old emperor the most, and whatever the old emperor says is what he does.

I will never go against the old emperor, I will just deal with it perfunctorily for now.

As long as he pretends to be a grandson now, the old emperor will not target him, and he will have enough time to slowly get things in order.

Otherwise, it will only bring momentary pleasure, but will ruin big things.
