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

Once Wu Lingyun ascends the throne**, Yang Ziqin will be the queen.

The Yang family will naturally benefit greatly from following, and the Minister of War Yang Long can even become the next prime minister.

For Wu Lingyun, this is absolutely very important to rely on for the power of ascending the throne.

But for Ning Yi now, it is a big trouble.

Once the Minister of War discovered that he, the prince, was an imposter, there was a high possibility that he would be directly controlled by the Minister of War and used as a puppet.

This is not the life Ning Yi wants.

Perhaps others cannot find out whether Ning Yi is real or fake, even his biological father, Emperor Wu, cannot find out that his son has been switched.

But the person who has been sleeping with her husband for many years, the wife who has just married, must know her husband very well.

Ning Yi looked at the prince's wife's subordinates who were making money by making false accounts under the guise of the Sixth Prince's residence.

There's nothing we can do about them.

Now that he has no power, how can he possibly compete with the Shangshu who is at the peak of his power in the dynasty.

Ning Yi even wanted to temporarily cut off ties with the private soldiers who were secretly trained and stockpiled outside the city.

Although he had temporarily put aside the issue of supporting his own private soldiers, it was impossible for Emperor Wu not to become suspicious of him.

If there is any flaw, I believe Emperor Wu will not be so lucky the next time he comes to catch him.

What Ning Yi has to do now is to integrate all the power of the Sixth Prince.

Wait for Emperor Wu to die so that we can quickly attack and take over the entire Wudu.

As for the fighting among the princes, Ning Yi was too lazy to get involved.

There is also the Fourth Prince who always wants to cause trouble for him and always tries to flatter him in front of the emperor. It would be best to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible.

At this time, Qin Haifeng came over and saluted: "Your Highness, I have hired new servants and retainers. It won't be long before the entire mansion is clean."

Ning Yi nodded slightly. He was still very satisfied with Qin Haifeng.

Although Qin Haifeng was very loyal to the Sixth Prince, the Sixth Prince Wu Lingyun is now dead.

And I am the real Sixth Prince, so his loyalty is to me.

Ning Yi was quite happy to accept this loyalty: "Okay."

"You did well, Haifeng. I was not wrong about you. You are indeed the person I trust the most."

This made Qin Haifeng's face full of gratitude.

He immediately knelt down and saluted: "This is what I should do."

The Sixth Prince in the past would never praise a personal guard who was originally a private.

Even though Qin Haifeng is the commander of the prince's personal guards, in the eyes of the Sixth Prince, he is still just a dog.

Ning Yi's casual compliments and words of belief could deeply move this tough guy.

Ning Yi sighed, these ancient people were so easy to fool.

Thinking about the important matter, Ning Yi asked, "Why is the prince's wife not in the palace?"

Qin Haifeng immediately explained: "Your Highness, the Yang family had already sent someone to pick up the prince's wife when Your Highness went to the palace."

Ning Yi understood, after all, this was about training private soldiers with the intention of rebellion.

If it happened under normal circumstances, it would be enough to wipe out the entire family. Since the Yang family and Ning Yi are relatives by marriage, they are naturally important targets.

He wanted to take the princess away as soon as possible to distance himself from the Sixth Prince.

Ning Yi sneered: "Isn't this just trying to cover up one's mistakes?"

The Sixth Prince is a member of the royal family, so he would naturally not be careless about his marriage. How could the emperor not know when he married the eldest daughter of the Yang family?

Even without the emperor's consent, the marriage would not be possible.

Do you think that if something happens to the Sixth Prince and your Yang family takes the Princess away, it will be considered a divorce?

Go and dream your own dreams.

It was simply that Yang Long felt that he could use his status as a senior official to plead with the emperor.

Ning Yi threw down the account book in his hand and said calmly: "It's time to let the princess return home."

"I will immediately have someone notify the Yang residence and have them send the princess back."

Qin Haifeng just bowed and prepared to leave.

Ning Yi rejected the suggestion: "There's no need to let her go back home."

"This prince has his own plans." Ning Yi now looks confident.

The mysterious instructions made Qin Haifeng confused. He didn't dare to ask more questions and just accepted the order with a bow.

Ning Yi changed into casual clothes and went out. After all, wearing a dragon robe all the time was too eye-catching.

Stroll over to Zuixianyuan, a restaurant that looks quite luxurious.

The shopkeeper came forward with a big smile on his face when he saw Ning Yi: "Oh, Your Highness, you are finally here."

"Just now, I heard that a group of fierce imperial guards wanted to capture Your Highness. I was frightened. I am worried about Your Highness's safety and have been asking people for information."

"Now I finally see His Highness return safely. It is true that His Highness is a man of great fortune."

Ning Yi glanced at him calmly and nodded slightly: "As long as you have the intention, it's fine. If you do your job well, this prince will definitely reward you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The shopkeeper smiled and invited Ning Yi in.

The shopkeeper looks to be only about forty years old, but he calls himself an old slave.

What he said just now was quite beautiful. It sounded like he was very concerned about Ning Yi's safety. He was probably afraid that something would happen and implicate Zuixian Garden.

The shopkeeper invited Ning Yi to the quietest and safest private room in the back, poured tea and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any instructions for this visit?"

Ning Yi didn't even touch his teacup. He sat there calmly and asked, "Do you have any news about the disaster relief in Fanghai City?"

"Of course there is." The shopkeeper said immediately, "Last time, His Highness asked me to collect all the information related to the case in Fanghai City."

Ning Yi was muttering in his heart that Fang Haicheng's case was previously handled by the Fourth Prince, and the Emperor Wu had just taken it from him and handed it to Ning Yi.

Wu Lingyun had actually asked people to collect information about Fang Haicheng before. It seemed that the Sixth Prince had already set his sights on Fang Haicheng.

Ning Yi said calmly, "How's the investigation going?"

"I'll get it for you right away." The shopkeeper bowed and left immediately.

Soon the shopkeeper placed a set of sorted materials in front of Ning Yi.

Ning Yi frowned and looked for a while, and had a general understanding of the disaster situation in the entire Fanghai City.

Fanghai City is very close to the imperial capital. A while ago, a landslide occurred there, causing countless people's houses to collapse, and there were casualties everywhere. People were displaced and homeless.

The prime minister was shocked and recommended the fourth prince to provide disaster relief.

Ning Yi looked at the ministers who went to provide disaster relief.

They are all officials from the Prime Minister's faction. They are not focused on disaster relief at all. It is clear that they are using the guise of disaster relief to allow officials in their own camp to gain more benefits and strengthen their own forces to fight for power.

By the way, you can also make friends with the wealthy and powerful people in Fanghai City, and make your presence felt in front of the emperor. It is really a great thing to kill several birds with one stone.
