Chapter 171 Can the uncle of the king testify?
Dongfang Wang had naturally heard that the more than a thousand elite soldiers led by the Sixth Prince were the group of servants that he trained day and night in the mansion.
You can find out about this kind of thing if you just ask around.
The Sixth Prince had no military power. The only people he could mobilize were the thousands of young servants in the mansion.
It is said that they were kids selected from the refugee camp.
Not only do they train day and night, but they also learn to read and write.
This made many people laugh.
I think the Sixth Prince wants to be a teacher.
But if you want to train your children to read and write, why do you still need to train them?
Do you still want to be a master of both civil and military affairs?
In the end, he will be neither good at literature nor at martial arts.
However, it was this group of servants who were ridiculed by outsiders as being weird and incompetent, but they actually defeated more than a thousand elite guards who were carefully trained by the Dongfang family and were fully armored this year.
Not only were there heavy casualties, but when they returned, they were all like plucked roosters, without even their weapons, armor, and carriages.
But Dongfang Wang was very angry.
Now he could only think that it was the bastard Sixth Prince Wu Lingyun who had taken advantage of the situation and launched a sneak attack to succeed. Otherwise, who would have believed that a small servant boy of the same number of more than a thousand people could defeat the most elite soldiers, many of whom were veterans retired from the border army.
Entering the main hall in the middle courtyard, I looked around and saw the Sixth Prince drinking alone at a large table.
Seeing Dongfang Wang, Ning Yi took the initiative to stand up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Oh, my uncle, you came at the perfect time. I just prepared the wine and food. Please take a seat quickly."
Dongfang Wang's guards were stopped outside the door, and he was the only one who came in.
Of course, he couldn't believe that the Sixth Prince could do anything to him if he came to him in person.
Although Dongfang Wang was extremely dissatisfied with the Sixth Prince, he even hated him.
But he just said calmly, "Sixth Prince, you are very busy with official duties. How can you have the time to receive an uncle like me?"
It was full of sarcasm, meaning that you, the Sixth Prince, asked your servants to tell him that you were busy with official duties.
In fact, I was just drinking here and was too lazy to entertain my uncle.
Ning Yi smiled on the surface, but he was extremely contemptuous in his heart. What can a brother-in-law of the emperor do? Even if he is the Emperor Wu, who cares about family affection? He still guards against his son day and night.
Besides, you are the second prince’s uncle, not this prince’s uncle.
Of course, you can also become my prince in the future, no, my brother-in-law. After all, your sister often calls me Your Majesty.
Thinking of Dongfang Qing, Ning Yi's heart was filled with reminiscence. Although that woman was in her thirties, she was still as charming and graceful as ever. She was even more gentle and charming than before, making people linger.
"My Lord, please don't say that. This prince is really helpless."
"After all, the assassination attempts I've encountered these past few days have made this prince very worried. I'm already timid, and now I don't even dare to leave the house. Even in broad daylight, I have to be accompanied by at least a dozen guards. I hope your Majesty will understand this."
Ning Yi's words were a subtle sarcasm. On the surface, he said that he was a coward, but the focus was still on the assassination.
The assassination was also done by people under your command, Dongfang Wang. You blame me for not going out?
Speaking of assassination, Dongfang Wang's eyes twitched wildly. He came here for this very purpose.
Now that the Sixth Prince had pointed it out, the King's Uncle had no choice but to give up asking further questions.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Ning Yi personally poured him a glass of wine with a smile: "My Lord, you have come from afar and must have been very tired on the way. Rest well in my house for a few days. This prince will make sure to have someone treat you well."
Dongfang Wangcai has no time to stay in the Sixth Prince's mansion.
He simply drank a glass of wine and directly called out, "Sixth Prince, just tell me, where is my son?"
He came to the capital for two reasons: first, to rescue his son.
Secondly, of course, he wanted the Sixth Prince to let the assassination go.
Ning Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, my uncle. Your son, my cousin, is currently enjoying himself and has not suffered any injustice at all. He just has some problems that need to be dealt with. Once they are dealt with, I will make sure he returns to you happily to fulfill his filial duties."
Ning Yi was practicing Tai Chi and refused to say where Dongfang You was.
I will not say to release him. Anyway, there is a problem, so just solve it. The key to the problem is what your uncle-in-law thinks.
Dongfang Wang snorted coldly and slammed the table. "Sixth Prince, although my son is usually arrogant and trouble-making, there are some things he knows not to do. He can't offend you, the Sixth Prince. But you actually forcibly abducted him. Are you deliberately opposing my Dongfang family, or do you look down on our family?"
Dongfang Wang is not Dongfang You. He has been in charge of the Dongfang family for many years, so naturally he would put the blame of the problem on the other party first.
Ning Yi didn't buy his tricks and poured him more wine with a smile: "Uncle, you are wrongly accusing this prince."
"This prince has no personal grudge against my cousin. It's just that I happened to catch him reselling military supplies."
"As the prince of the Great Wu Kingdom, how could I possibly turn a blind eye? But as his cousin, I can't really send my cousin to the Heavenly Prison, right? So, I can only invite my cousin to the capital first and teach him a lesson. There are some things that cannot be done carelessly, and I hope he will mend his ways."
Dongfang Wang simply didn't believe this lame excuse. What does my son need you to teach him?
Dongfang Wang was very dissatisfied with this: "There are many people reselling military supplies. My Dongfang family has been doing this for a long time, and other families are also doing it. Why don't you go and cause trouble for other families, Sixth Prince?"
This is also what Dongfang Wang is seriously dissatisfied with. You are a prince, but you have nothing better to do than to disguise yourself as a scholar or commoner and lead a large army to capture my son.
But why don’t you go to other families? Do you dare?
Ning Yi, however, immediately said seriously, "Uncle of the King, you can't say such things carelessly."
"You said other families are doing this too? Do you have any evidence?"
"Once the evidence is produced, this prince will personally go to find them. Otherwise, my uncle and I will personally go to see the emperor. As long as you can speak to the emperor in person, do the same at other times. This prince will personally ask the emperor to send troops to deal with them."
"Selling military supplies is a serious crime. It constitutes treason and rebellion. No one can allow it."
This guy spoke so righteously that the corners of the mouth of the king's uncle Dongfang Wang twitched wildly. He was so shameless.
I'll give you evidence of other families reselling military supplies?
Why do I owe you so much?
Moreover, Dongfang Wang also knew that it was impossible for him to say these things in front of Emperor Wu. Once he said them, it would be irrelevant whether Emperor Wu would severely punish those families or not.
But those aristocratic families will never let him go and can unite and deal with the Dongfang family at any time.
"Sixth Prince, you don't have to do this." Dongfang Wang simply didn't mention it.
Anyway, no matter what, his son was caught reselling military supplies, and he can't wash himself away from this matter.
It is also impossible for other noble families to unite with their Dongfang family to oppose the royal family because of this matter.
