PDLP Chapter 148 Stop dreaming
Chapter 148 Stop dreaming
Emperor Wu was very sensitive to such matters, and he immediately asked Eunuch Zhao to send someone out of the city.
Eunuch Zhao is the second prince's man, so it is even more impossible for him to hide it, and he dare not hide it.
Not long after, when the young eunuch came back, he reported the information he had obtained, which was very comprehensive.
Emperor Wu was so angry that he slammed the table: "How dare he be so audacious, you rebellious son!"
"Come here, bring this bastard to me."
"Cough cough cough cough cough"
Emperor Wu's face turned red and white from coughing.
The virtuous concubine was also frightened and massaged his back.
Ning Yi was happy in his heart, Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, you always complain about me in front of this old guy.
This time, I, the prince, will also sue you.
This is a good opportunity to let the old guy hold you down hard and make you behave yourself.
Make time to give yourself the opportunity to grow.
If it weren't for the Fourth Brother making trouble, Ning Yi could still proceed step by step and slowly increase his strength.
When the old man dies, he can raise the banner and take over the entire capital.
With the cooperation of Han Dingtian in the north, it was easy to unify the north.
Ning Yi took a quick look at the old emperor who was coughing non-stop, and felt very worried.
Old man, you can't die now. You must hold on. At least you can hold on for a year before you die.
The Fourth Prince was forcibly detained by the Imperial Guards.
Even if he wanted to rebel, this was the capital and he didn't dare to move.
As soon as I entered the imperial study, I saw the old emperor sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face.
The noble and virtuous concubine's mother beside him kept giving him glances.
The Sixth Prince, who was standing beside the table, once again put on an expression that made him very annoyed, a half-smile.
The Fourth Prince also secretly inquired about what was going on with the Imperial Guards.
He pretended to kneel down and cried, "Father, I have been confined to my house to reflect on my mistakes. What did I do wrong to make you so angry?"
"Hmph." The Martial Emperor snorted coldly, staring at him with a gloomy expression: "Fourth Brother, you are capable."
"You actually joined forces with the barbarians to rebel, and even promised to cede five cities to them. What do you want to do? Do you want to die early?"
The Fourth Prince shuddered. He had already thought of a countermeasure, and he cried out with tears and snot, "Father, you have wronged me."
"I don't have any connections with the barbarians. I just went to the inn to look for Atulu. I'm still not giving up on the Ninth Princess. I didn't do anything else."
The Fourth Prince pointed at Ning Yi, who was laughing at him, and shouted, "Father, it must have been the Sixth Prince who reported me, right?"
"He must have framed me. Father, he saw that I was still obsessed with the Ninth Princess and wanted to frame me. I beg you to investigate."
The Fourth Prince refused to admit it, since he hadn't started a rebellion anyway.
Moreover, he and Aturu only discussed it verbally and did not leave any evidence.
Ning Yi said with a half-smile, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, you are really good at making random accusations."
"The fact that you were joining forces with the barbarians to rebel was discovered by my father himself, and the entire capital knows about it."
"I only accused you of sending someone to assassinate me, but I didn't frame you."
When Ning Yi said this, the Emperor Wu was also furious: "You rebellious son, you still refuse to admit it. Now the whole capital knows it."
"What else do you have to hide?"
"You have allied yourself with the barbarians, betrayed the Wu Kingdom, and even assassinated your own brothers. Your crimes are unforgivable. Go directly to the Heavenly Prison and give a good account."
The Heavenly Prison is the most terrifying place in the Wu Kingdom.
Anyone who goes in there has almost no chance of coming out alive.
The Fourth Prince was shocked. He didn't want to go to the Heavenly Prison now as he hadn't started his army yet.
The virtuous concubine beside her was also extremely anxious. She immediately shouted angrily, "Fourth Brother, tell the truth."
"Do you really want to rebel? It's all over the place, saying you've raised an army of 100,000."
A hundred thousand troops?
Reminded by Concubine Xian, the Fourth Prince's mind raced, and he immediately prepared himself. He kowtowed and cried, "Father, I am innocent. I am truly innocent."
"Where do I find an army of 100,000 men?"
"You can ask the entire Beijing Camp to investigate. Most of the Beijing Camp commanders are close to my second brother and have nothing to do with me."
After hearing this, Emperor Wu was also confused.
Although he couldn't know all of the people in the Jingying camp near the capital, he had a general idea of who had a good relationship with the second prince.
If the Second Prince was told that he was preparing an army of 100,000 to rebel, Emperor Wu would absolutely believe it.
But look at the fourth brother who is kneeling on the ground in front of him, with a swollen forehead and tears and snot.
This guy, except for his good relationship with the two guard camp commanders at the beginning, was dealt with.
The leader of the mob he had gathered was also dealt with. How could he gather 100,000 soldiers in such a short time?
Since he didn't have a hundred thousand troops, Emperor Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with a grim expression: "Then what's the matter with you assassinating Lao Liu?"
This matter made the Fourth Prince even more aggrieved. He was also full of confidence: "Sixth Prince is slandering me, when did I ever assassinate him?"
Since Emperor Wu no longer asks about the Fourth Prince’s military affairs.
Ning Yi naturally wouldn't keep chasing her.
The current Emperor Wu is almost a deaf man in the palace, and everyone around him has betrayed him.
There's no need to sue him anymore.
All you need to do is hold down the fourth kid and make him quiet and behave himself.
Don't insist on investigating randomly. The old guy is too suspicious and even Ning Yi's troops will be found out. That would be a waste of time and effort.
Now the old man dares not to touch anything except the second son, and he will not be merciful to the princes.
The old man can allow the next successor he chooses to have troops.
But he would not allow other princes to secretly hide so many soldiers and horses. Once he knew about it, he would definitely do his best to destroy him.
He didn't want his son to suddenly start fighting with him if he died one day.
Ning Yi also said righteously: "Fourth brother, besides you, who else would assassinate me?"
"If you want to rebel, you must first get rid of me, the stumbling block that always opposes you."
Ning Yi has no actual evidence at all, but it’s okay to disgust the fourth brother.
The Fourth Prince immediately yelled at him, "You're lying! You have no evidence and you're accusing me."
"Father, I'm going to sue him for defamation."
Seeing the two brothers quarreling, Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the fourth brother passed this hurdle, nothing else mattered.
The old emperor frowned at the two rival brothers and snorted coldly, "Alright, stop arguing."
"Go away, don't delay my rest here."
The two brothers bowed and left together.
However, facing the background of the fourth brother, the old emperor said calmly: "Fourth brother, if you have any more small thoughts, don't blame me for being cruel."
The Fourth Prince trembled and broke out in a cold sweat.
As soon as they came out of the imperial study, the two brothers disliked each other.
The Fourth Prince stared at Ning Yi with gritted teeth, wishing he could skin him alive.
"Sixth Brother, you bastard, do you feel bad if you don't cause me trouble?"
Ning Yi looked at his dirty face and said with disdain, "Look at how shameful you are."
"You still want to sit on the throne? Don't dream. You will never be worthy of it."
