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

The reason why people kept questioning Ning Yi about the issue of Hushan Pass.

After all, it was just that Emperor Wu was suspicious and dissatisfied.

This was asked by Emperor Wu himself, so the Prime Minister naturally did not dare to say a word on behalf of the Sixth Prince.

Because from the peace talks, the Prime Minister finally helped the Sixth Prince, but only in name for the sake of the Great Wu Kingdom.

Next, the Prime Minister naturally had to keep a certain distance from the Sixth Prince to avoid being suspected by the suspicious old emperor.

Once the old emperor knew that the Sixth Prince deliberately wanted to stay in Hushan Pass, he would immediately remove the Sixth Prince from his position as commander.

Now, how to resolve the old emperor's doubts about the Sixth Prince secretly raising 30,000 cavalrymen depends on the Sixth Prince himself.

The Prime Minister didn't say anything, and no one in the court dared to say a word to help Ning Yi.

It is up to the Sixth Prince to explain it himself.

Ning Yi felt that he had done enough and explained himself clearly. If you, the old emperor, are still not satisfied, I can disband them in name only, right?

Lord Cheng also turned to look at Emperor Wu.

The old emperor pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in relief: "Okay."

"Old Six worked very hard at Hushan Pass to resist the barbarians. Everyone saw how the battle went."

"The court is currently in trouble, and it's not easy for Lao Liu to persist. When the court recovers next year, I will provide good support to Hushan Pass."

His words were a final conclusion, and many people felt relieved.

Ning Yi also felt relieved, otherwise it would be really annoying if the old emperor kept holding on to him.

In fact, he knew that the reason why the old emperor was so relieved was because of Ning Yi's last words, that once the new army arrived next year, the commander-in-chief would be replaced.

He immediately handed over the command of 30,000 cavalry.

This would make the old emperor feel that no matter what the 30,000 cavalrymen of Lao Liu looked like, they could be just a group of beggars.

Next year, when the 100,000 new troops arrive at Hushan Pass, Lao Liu will have no choice but to hand over the 30,000 cavalrymen.

If Lao Liu dares not to hand it over, he will have the opportunity to take action against him.

The following feast was much simpler.

No one bothered the Sixth Prince anymore.

But the second prince was unhappy, and he wanted the old emperor to deal with the sixth prince.

Even if it was just those 30,000 worn-out cavalry, they had to be dealt with one by one.

As a result, Lao Liu said that he would hand over the military power next year and let him go.

The second prince doesn't care whether the sixth prince hands over his military power or not.

He also understood that even if he was reluctant to hand over Lao Liu's 30,000 miscellaneous cavalry, it would be useless.

But once the Sixth Brother was handed over, the old emperor felt relieved. In this case, when would it take to deal with the Sixth Brother?

On the way back, Ah Jiu said unhappily, "My husband, that emperor is so evil. He even keeps thinking about your tens of thousands of cavalrymen."

As the ninth princess of a barbarian tribe, she had naturally witnessed too many deceptions and schemes.

Do you really think there is peace among the barbarians?

Ning Yi hugged his pretty wife, whose face was filled with dissatisfaction, and chuckled, "You are from a barbarian tribe, so naturally you don't care about tens of thousands of cavalrymen."

"But in Wuguo, tens of thousands of cavalrymen are really dangerous."

The barbarians are a tribe and they have a lot of cavalry.

The able-bodied men of their barbarian tribe, both men and women, have often ridden horses since childhood and are all very good at horsemanship.

Moreover, there are more places to raise horses. It can be said that horses have become the second pair of legs for these barbarians.

But the Wu State couldn't do that.

The Wu people mainly engaged in farming, and they had very few livestock.

What's more, war horses that can fight on the battlefield are even rarer.

Cavalry is also the natural enemy of infantry. If infantry and cavalry meet in the wild, the cavalry has many ways to deal with the infantry.

However, it was very frustrating for infantry to deal with cavalry. Even if they won, they could only watch the cavalry leave and had no chance of catching up.

Therefore, if those princes have tens of thousands of cavalry, they are quite powerful, and ordinary people in the country dare not bully them at will.

The reason why Emperor Wu always asked the Northwest for troops was that he gave many privileges to the generals in the Northwest.

Because the northwest can really form a cavalry team of tens of thousands, and that is his real arsenal.

This is also the reason why Emperor Wu was too lazy to win over the Beijing camp at Hushan Pass, and always wanted to win over Yu Shengfei's 30,000 cavalry.

Ah Jiu pouted and said, "But they were only tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers and horses. The emperor still blames you. How petty."

Ning Yi didn't know what to say. This Ninth Princess simply had no idea about cavalry.

Yang Ziqin frowned and said, "My husband, His Majesty is not very kind to you today. You must be careful."

Speaking of this, Ah Jiu became even more dissatisfied: "My husband fought for his emperor in the battlefield at Hushan Pass. After returning from the Spring Festival, not only did he not reward me, but he also kept targeting me. How can this be possible?"

"My dear husband, you might as well let me, Ajiu, write a letter to my father Khan and ask him to take refuge with us. It would be better than being bullied in Wu State."

"Don't say that." Ning Yi frowned: "This is extremely treasonous."

He didn't want Ajiu to talk nonsense. Even though she was born a barbarian princess, she was now the prince's consort.

This is still the capital.

If someone with ulterior motives were to tell the emperor about this, it would be disastrous.

Of course, even a fool knows that Ning Yi would never surrender to the barbarians.

Just because he has a prince's hat on his head, don't even think about joining him.

Even if he took refuge there, the treatment he would receive would not be good.

The outcome will definitely not be any better.

But this doesn't stop others from attacking him.

Yang Ziqin also said immediately: "If this gets to His Majesty's ears, my husband will be even more passive."

Ah Jiu knew it, but she was still dissatisfied: "Who made the emperor treat my husband badly?"

Yang Yi asked her to be quiet and not talk nonsense.

"Remember, this is the capital. If you speak carelessly, you will lose your head."

He didn't want the two unscrupulous women in his family to be heard bickering by the old emperor, which would cause him to become suspicious again.

It was exhausting trying to dispel the old emperor's suspicions.

Of course, Ning Yi comforted him: "You don't have to worry about your husband. Once I reach Hushan Pass, everything will be much safer, and you will be safe too."

The two of them didn't understand what it meant.

Only Ning Yi himself knew that once he arrived at Hushan Pass, if anyone wanted to kill him, Ning Yi could just give an order and the 200,000-plus troops at Hushan Pass would immediately rise up in rebellion.

I believe that the entire court, including Emperor Wu, must be shocked, and he wouldn't even dare to fart.

But when that time comes, it will be time for a complete showdown.

Once the old emperor knew about the military power he held, Ning Yi would have no choice but to take action, otherwise he would be remembered by the old emperor at any time and would cause all kinds of trouble for him.

Sometimes Ning Yi feels very tired, because there is always an old emperor above him who is suspicious of him and makes him hide things.

The old emperor refused to die.

If the old emperor died, then he could forcibly occupy the capital. Who would dare to oppose him?

All the princes in the world had to recognize him as the new emperor, but it was a different situation if the old emperor was still alive.
