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

Looking at Eunuch Zhao leaving, Ning Yi looked pensive.

Qin Haifeng was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "A eunuch, just one trip, and took away so many Yuanbao, how cruel!"

Gao Qingshui was equally unhappy: "My Great Wu Kingdom was ruined by these corrupt people."

Ning Yi just shook his head slightly: "It's worth it to exchange a few gold ingots for his reminder."

"only……"

Ning Yi didn't say anything else, but asked Gao Qingshui to handle the aftermath.

Take Qin Haifeng and a group of guards to the palace. As for the servant, he just needs to go back home.

Ning Yi has high hopes for this group of servants, and he requires them to learn both civil and martial arts.

The reason I brought them here this time was actually to let them see the world.

Ning Yi was lost in thought all the way, wondering why Eunuch Zhao was saying all this to him for no reason.

Just the reminder from Eunuch Zhao just now is enough to be considered a serious crime.

What the emperor said to whom, what his current mood is, and whether he is happy are all secrets.

Wasn’t the former commander of the Imperial Guard imprisoned for these things?

Ning Yi would never think that this eunuch Zhao was trying to curry favor with him.

He and Eunuch Zhao had no private relationship at all, and Wu Lingyun had even been disrespectful to Eunuch Zhao in the past.

Could it be that Eunuch Zhao gave him a few more large ingots because he had listened to Emperor Wu's instructions twice and was very respectful?

Stop talking nonsense.

Trust the other princes and give him more.

As for the performance of listening to the emperor's oral instructions, maybe this black-hearted eunuch Zhao is just playing tricks on him.

......

In the imperial palace, the imperial study room.

The Fourth Prince was chattering away and accusing the Sixth Prince.

"Father, the Sixth Prince is truly overbearing and overbearing. Not only did he lead his troops into the Grain Transport Office's defense zone without the permission of the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court, he also stopped the ships carrying relief grain and even arrested all the merchants. He even beat up officials from the City Defense Department."

Sitting on the recliner, Emperor Wu had a very bad expression on his face, his eyes were gloomy, and his unconcealable anger showed that he was very angry.

The virtuous concubine who had been serving him all the time gave the Fourth Prince a look, then smiled and massaged Emperor Wu's legs. "Your Majesty, although the Sixth Prince is usually quite arrogant, he has indeed gone a little too far this time. Just talk to him."

It seems that Concubine Xian is speaking for the Sixth Prince, but in fact, she knows Emperor Wu's character very well and is deliberately adding fuel to the fire.

"Sixth brother, you don't take me seriously." Emperor Wu finally spoke coldly.

The fourth prince's eyes lit up, and he was filled with admiration for the prime minister.

The Prime Minister is so powerful that he can even come up with such a trick.

He can confuse right and wrong and turn the tide, even if he has all the evidence.

Even though he worked hard all night, he still had to face the emperor's wrath.

When the old guy gets angry at him, let’s see how you, Lao Liu, will respond?

The Fourth Prince sighed again, "Father, I will persuade him more. Just stay in the mansion and do his disaster relief work well."

"But he refused to listen and even threatened that he had the Dragon Pattern Sword in his hand, so there was nothing to be afraid of."

"Father, I'm not reporting the Sixth Brother. It's just that the Sixth Brother, holding the Dragon-patterned Sword, has no regard for the law and doesn't take anyone seriously. Last time, he executed a third-rank minister, and since then, everyone who sees him holding the Dragon-patterned Sword is afraid. He's really gone too far."

Speaking of the dragon-patterned sword, the emperor's eyes twitched violently.

He originally gave the dragon-patterned sword to the sixth brother because he was worried that he would be bullied in the capital.

It's just for self-protection. After all, the sixth prince is the only one with no background.

Who knew that this bastard would be so arrogant and domineering, using the dragon-patterned sword as a talisman to commit crimes.

It brought shame to him.

"Where's Lao Liu? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Eunuch Zhao, who had returned earlier, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has received the oral instructions and has made all arrangements and is leaving immediately."

Just then, a young eunuch at the door called out, "The Sixth Prince has arrived."

"Let him get in." Emperor Wu cursed angrily.

As Ning Yi stepped into the palace, he immediately knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to my father. Long live the emperor."

Emperor Wu did not rush him to get up, but asked coldly: "Sixth Brother, do you admit your guilt?"

Ning Yi looked up in confusion: "Father, what crime have I committed?"

I happened to see the idiot Fourth Prince standing next to Emperor Wu, with a serious expression and excitement in his eyes.

The Fourth Prince immediately reprimanded him, "Sixth Brother, you've already come before our father, are you still trying to hide this?"

"Father is very observant. He knows everything you do."

Ning Yi frowned. Why did the Fourth Prince's tone sound so like he had committed a terrible mistake, and he was the righteous one?

"Your Majesty, please explain clearly." He was too lazy to pay attention to the Fourth Prince.

There was no rush to produce the confession after the interrogation, as the current situation seemed a bit abnormal.

Emperor Wu snorted coldly: "You are really stubborn and unyielding."

The Fourth Prince was the most active: "Sixth Prince, you led the army to raid the Canal Transport Office's docks at night, intercepted the relief grain ships, arrested all the merchants, and targeted the officials of the City Defense Department. Didn't you do all this?"

Ning Yi suddenly understood that it was the Fourth Prince's grandson who had come here to confuse right and wrong.

What a great move to turn things around and transplant flowers and trees.

Put all the blame on Ning Yi first.

But the Fourth Prince didn't have this brain. With his stupid look, he couldn't think of this situation.

Then it can only be the idea of the old fox prime minister behind the scenes.

Ning Yi immediately shouted, "Father, I did this out of urgency."

"Because those merchants actually took the relief grain and replaced it with moldy grain. As the person in charge of the entire disaster relief operation, I naturally cannot allow such evil deeds to happen. I personally went to catch them red-handed."

"Stop it, Sixth Prince." The Fourth Prince immediately retorted, "If you wanted to steal the disaster relief grain, just do it. Why are you even making up excuses?"

"Since you discovered they were replacing the moldy grain, why didn't you report it to the Dali Temple? Why didn't you report it to Yingtian Prefecture? Instead, you led the troops out on your own. You don't take the laws of the Dawu Kingdom seriously, and you don't take your father seriously. What are you trying to say?"

The Fourth Prince was so happy that he went crazy. This was what the Prime Minister had taught him, that he must hold back the Sixth Prince from privately mobilizing troops.

This would make Emperor Wu feel that Old Six didn't take him seriously at all.

As expected, Emperor Wu looked very bad, and he stared at Old Six who was kneeling on the ground with cold and dangerous eyes.

He actually didn't care about disaster relief food, nor did he care whether Lao Liu would mobilize troops.

Because the only ones Lao Liu can mobilize now are the few hundred imperial guards that I gave him.

But what made him angry was that Lao Liu not only did not notify these government offices, but also did not notify him. He acted on his own and did not take him seriously at all.

Ning Yi remained unmoved and said calmly, "Because they have the support of some powerful figures behind them, and these government offices all have spies of these powerful figures. Reporting them would only alert the enemy."

The Fourth Prince was nervous, but his face was serious as he shouted, "Sixth Prince, shut up! If you had admitted your mistake earlier, your father would have given you a lighter punishment. Where did these businessmen get the support of the powerful? They even have spies in every government office. Is the court of our Great Wu Kingdom really that insolent?"

Emperor Wu's patience had reached its limit: "Sixth Brother, you can do it. It seems that I have been too indulgent to you."
