Chapter 2060 Killing with a Soft Knife(1/2)
In fact, the imperial palace is still the previous palace, and some of the things inside are still the same as before. Just like the Qinzheng Palace, some of the things here are things that existed when the Eastern Empire was established, and have a history of hundreds of thousands of years.
, these things can be said to be the most valuable antiques, but no one comes here to estimate their value, because these things have no economic value at all, some of them are all political value, so I just want to come in.
Those two vases are the same. They have been around for who knows how many years. They are taller than people. If such things were sold in the antique market, each one would be worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver. But who would take this thing?
Are you going to sell it? This is no joke. If you take it out, as long as the Eastern Empire Government still exists, you will be decapitated.
In the past, King Ning came here with ease, but in the past ten thousand years, it was a different situation. Every time King Ning came in, His Majesty felt uncomfortable, because his younger brother relied on the power to get it from the sea.
Some of his things were so powerful that he couldn't catch his pigtails, so he could only let him continue to be so rampant. He would often make long speeches in the court, sentence after sentence, and this is what he said.
His home court was the same. His Majesty the Emperor's face didn't have any brilliance at that time. It was all taken away by Prince Ning. At that time, Prince Ning couldn't even think about what His Majesty the Emperor was thinking in his heart. Now
King Ning felt it. In history, King Ning felt such a thing twice. The last time the emperor ascended the throne, he knew that this place no longer belonged to him. But at that time, it made him more motivated to fight. Now with that
Times have changed again, and now I have no fighting spirit at all.
"Your Majesty, my Majesty, long live my emperor." Although King Ning was a little dazed after entering the hall, he still did not forget the etiquette he should have and saluted immediately. Hundreds of people on both sides
The eunuchs all looked directly at themselves. They had learned royal etiquette for several years. Although they had not used it much in the past few years, they could still do it with their eyes closed. I want to be in these places.
Investigate your own faults. You are all doomed to fail. As expected, there is some disappointment on the faces of several eunuchs. It seems that they have also discussed it and want to give King Ning a blow. Those who just went to announce the imperial edict.
That guy's hand was broken. They all must have known about it. They were all holding their breath. They had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time, and they were thinking of coming up with an explanation to avenge that guy. Unexpectedly, Prince Ning still had someone here.
If you really can hold on, I won't give you any chance at all.
"Haha, as long as we are equal, we brothers don't need to engage in those false etiquettes. You may not remember it. This matter should have been 6,000 years ago. Didn't the Empress Dowager Xiaokang say it when she was still here? We
Brothers all exist for the sake of the empire, and these kneeling moments can take up a lot of our time. What the Queen Mother said at that time was very true, and I have been listening to it. In the past 6,000 years, it seems that you have
According to what the Queen Mother said, just give me a nod when you come in. Why did you start such a big gift again today? I'm a little uncomfortable with it." His Majesty the Emperor said with a smile. Ordinarily, the emperor of a country should not be like this.
You are so petty, you shouldn't hold on to such a thing after remembering it, but if you think about it from another's perspective, it doesn't matter that you are an emperor, and all the people in the world kneel down to you, but it is this younger brother who unites
The empress dowager at that time did something like this for herself, not kneeling before the emperor. At that time, the power of the empress dowager was very huge, and her emperor was just an emperor on the surface. At that time, I was afraid
It was Prince Ning who colluded with the Queen Mother to eradicate himself. Don't think that something like that would never happen. Everything at that time was possible. He had been on the throne for ten thousand years. When he was on the front line a few days ago, the capital was still
There will be people who are ready to take action, not to mention that he had only been on the throne for three thousand years at that time.
The Empress Dowager Xiaokang was not their biological mother, but a queen from the previous dynasty, who was their aunt. When she became the Empress Dowager, she wanted to live her own life honestly. As for the relationship between their brothers,
She would not ask about the fight, but she had to be involved later. On the surface, she was the person with the highest status in the entire empire. Except for the fact that she could not interfere in the national affairs of the previous dynasty, she could not interfere in other matters.
It is possible to ask. King Ning took a fancy to this, so he kept transporting some valuable things to Shoukang Palace. Outside, he paid more attention to some of the children and nephews in the Empress Dowager's family. When the emperor
When I saw it, it was already too late. Prince Ning had already become a good person. And when it came to money at that time, the emperor was not as powerful as Prince Ning. The income of the entire empire was a lot, but the expenses were also a lot.
Wanting to make some weird things to make the Empress Dowager happy is a bit unreasonable, and the courtiers will not be willing to do so. Then after two trips, the Empress Dowager will become Prince Ning's person, no matter what
Whenever there was an opportunity, he would pull Prince Ning out and praise him properly.
Fortunately, this period of time is not very long. The Empress Dowager is just an ordinary person, and it only lasts for more than ten years. However, those ten years are the most dangerous time in the emperor's life. At that time,
The emperor's overall strength was lower than the two of them. If they used force at that time, he would really not be able to support it. But at that time, the Linghu family was on the emperor's side, and they would not care about Prince Ning and the Queen Mother.
Yes, in the hearts of the Linghu family, the emperor is the most important. Thinking of this, the emperor's heart also hurts. He really wants to go back to that time. At least the Eastern Empire was much stronger than it is now. It's a pity.
Yes, after I eradicated the power of the Queen Mother, I set my sights on the Linghu family. If I didn't do that, the Linghu family would rebel sooner or later. This matter has two sides. How should I do it?
Mistakes will occur. The current situation is acceptable. King Ning is the last stumbling block for him to control the entire empire. Some time ago, he has already beaten the major forces in the country. If King Ning does the same,
, then he can truly master the empire. It took tens of thousands of years for him, the emperor of the empire, to master the empire. It feels embarrassing to say it, but this is the real situation.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, a minor minister is guilty of death." Prince Ning would not say a single unnecessary word to defend himself. Because he knew that anything he said at this time would be useless. It would be better to confess his crime honestly now. If he did not plead guilty, he might
There will be more things waiting for him, and he will plead guilty. This is different. The emperor will always find a crime for himself. At that time, he may have a flaw, and the only thing he can rely on now is
It can be the common people's mouth. Let's see what kind of crime he can find for himself to punish himself. If he has no crime, he will be a fool if he comes here randomly. Hearing King Ning's answer
Finally, His Majesty the Emperor also frowned. This guy is indeed not a simple person. He came here thinking that he would be punished today. Unexpectedly, this guy actually kicked the ball back. This crime is not good.
He made random arrangements. It can be said that Prince Ning's previous reputation was much more powerful than the reputation of the Linghu family. If he punished him randomly, the people would not care about it and would say that he, the emperor, could not tolerate it.
He would be very shameless about the fact that his younger brother had such great achievements that he could conquer the master.
"Prince Ningjun, your fiefdom is gone now. Is the Cao Family Trading Company's offensive really that powerful? Isn't your army known as the most powerful army in the entire empire? I remember that none of my Wu Weijun were your cavalry.
Why is it that now your army can't even deal with the army of a mere trading company?" The emperor really couldn't think of where to open his mouth to this guy. He could only start when King Ning lost the territory of the Eastern Empire.
.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor, this Cao Family Trading Company uses some new weapons. My brother's navy is the same as other navies in the empire. They were all killed without even going out. They were all very dead.
It was so heroic that no one surrendered. As for Wei Chen's cavalry, it was even more tragic. Although they did not win, it was not my men's fault. The gap between the weapons in the army and strategic thinking was really big, so
I won't win. It's not about other things. I am willing to accept any punishment. I just want the court to send troops quickly. When the time comes, I am willing to be a pawn and regain the land of our empire as soon as possible.
We can also face the ancestors of our empire properly during the sacrifice." This guy rolled his eyes and took everything on his own head. No matter what you think, anyway, we
But if you have a good attitude of pleading guilty, another thing is the matter of the land in your belly. Naturally, Prince Ning knew that the court had already given it to the Cao Family Trading Company. We also want to see what kind of person the emperor is.
What do you mean? In fact, at this time, King Ning still refused to admit defeat. He made His Majesty the Emperor look bad at this time. How was he different from before? King Ning regretted it after he said it. This can only make His Majesty the Emperor even more embarrassed.
I resent myself, but I can’t say it out loud, but I feel uncomfortable. No matter what the fight between us is, no matter who wins, this thing belongs to our own people, but you colluded with outsiders, talking about the ancestors’
At that time, he clearly saw the emperor on the stage moving a little uncomfortable. Of course he was uncomfortable, and he might not have the face to sit on the stage.
"I have also seen all the issues on the front line, and they are none of your business. The Cao Family Trading Company will indeed be a serious concern for us in the future. However, the losses to our empire have been too great in recent times. I have summoned several people just now.
The generals have discussed this matter. They all agree that the resources of all aspects of the empire are now in decline, and the army has just recovered from the war against the Linghu family, and the rear areas are also somewhat unstable. The three major empires
Things aren't too peaceful over there, so it's better not to act rashly now. The imperial court has already negotiated peace with the Cao Family Trading Company. After a period of time, we can study the tactics of the Cao Family Trading Company. By that time
Just start the war, don't make unnecessary sacrifices." The emperor is the emperor, and the level of his words is beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Just like now, it is obvious that he committed an act that humiliated the country and lost power. How did it become
You are in this state now, as if it is someone else's fault. Anyway, the emperor will not make mistakes. Others will take the blame for you no matter what. What you want to do is your own business, that is
Prince Ning dared to ask, but other people did not have the courage.
"Prince Ning, I won't follow you around here anymore. You must know what your situation is now. You have just lost your fiefdom. After all, we are all brothers. The emperor can't see you without your own."
Regarding the territory, you still can’t go back to NW Province for the time being, but I know that you have been there for eight out of ten years, and you may not be used to the climate in the capital. So I
I will entrust you with the ten cities in the northern part of nw province. In the past, when you were a prince, I could give you a province. But now you are just a county king, and the ten cities are considered very good. Although this has not been done over the years.
The economic strength and population of the ten cities have begun to decline. But after all, they are all on the coast, and things should be very good. With your talents, you will definitely be well governed there, so you have to open up the situation.
, so all these taxes and other taxes will be reduced or exempted for you within ten years." His Majesty saw that Prince Ning was also slippery, and it was enough for him to twist him into a county prince. At this time, he wanted to catch more things.
There are also some impossible things. Just forget it when you think about it. I am too serious. If this enfeoffment continues, it will be a matter of time for this kid to die there. It is impossible for Prince Ning to escape again.
, would the Cao Family Trading Company be willing? No.
King Ning knows what those ten cities are. It can be said that they are some abandoned cities. These cities were still very good 2000 years ago, but now there is no cultivated land and no population. This is all because of himself.
The reason is that they relied on their own power. At that time, the mines required a large number of working people, so they moved all these people to their own provinces. It is because of this that the place slowly became deserted.
After coming down, I didn’t expect that what I did back then would have to be paid back. I wonder if I would have regretted it if I had known about this. Even so, Prince Ning could more or less be able to leave the capital alive. He
I never thought I would leave so easily, but when I arrived in those ten cities, it was a doomed situation, and there was no way it would get better. It was an area I was too familiar with, and since the entire NW province was
Cao's Trading Company's territory, so it is impossible for me to stay well in the north of them. The NW Province is most closely connected with the surrounding area. Since Cao's Trading Company is a trading house, it wants to dump goods.
If you do, you will definitely be their roadblock. If they don't take action against you, you will be sorry for yourself. Thinking of this, Prince Ning's eyes darkened. This guy is going to kill someone with a borrowed knife. It's the same as last time, but even if it was your plan.
No matter how good it is, everything will change and you won't be able to succeed just like that.
Killing people with soft knives is what King Ning can think of now. His Majesty the Emperor is really very clear about his calculations. He himself does not want to be charged with killing his brother, so he has to use the hands of the Cao family business to get rid of him.
Fall, this move is really too high. I will definitely do something when I get there. I will still have my own strength at sea. I even have the greatest strength at sea. I still have more than two people at sea.
The island land of hundreds of provinces still has a population of more than 10 billion, and even a lot of wealth. He can make a comeback, and he also discovered a huge continent, which is as big as the Western Empire.
On the island, everything there is a blank, the land is fertile, and it is definitely not a barren land. As long as you can live well, the world in the future may belong to someone else. It may be yours.
, but it might be mine, all of this is unknown.
"What? Brother Emperor, do you feel that the fiefdom I gave you is not very good? In fact, you also need to consider the internal affairs of the imperial court. Our empire has been really weak recently, and I have no choice but to do so. If you can have
I won't do it in other ways. This is the only way now. I hope you can understand that many times, we in the royal family just have to do things that others can't do." The emperor looked at Ning.
Wang didn't speak for a long time. He naturally thought that Prince Ning could go to that place. If Prince Ning didn't go, he didn't know what his future path would be.
In fact, the emperor wanted to kill Prince Ning a long time ago, but a powerful move turned everything into nothing. When the emperor's people wanted to kill Prince Ning, who stopped them?
Get the emperor's news and seal the emperor's people tightly. In the past, there might have been a Linghu family in the Eastern Empire, but now the Linghu family is gone and they don't have the ability to take care of this. Then
The only one left is the Magician's Guild of the Eastern Empire. His Majesty the Emperor still remembers the scene when the president of the Magician's Guild came to him.
On that day, reports were reported from below that King Ning had successfully passed through that province. His Majesty the Emperor was simply angry. He was so angry that he wanted to punish everyone below. It had been so many years. He had already gone through so many years.
This is the time I have been waiting for. Prince Ning has already challenged his bottom line. He can't continue to let him live freely like this. He must give him a little more strength. Who knows that he still can't do this?
What happened was that just when His Majesty the Emperor was about to attack his subordinates, the eunuch outside said that the president of the Magician's Guild was here. Such a person's status in the Eastern Empire was very high, even if he was involved in the Eastern Empire.
The emperor does not need to kneel down.
"Haha, why did today's matter fail? It turns out that the president's person is there, and I don't understand this matter. Hasn't the Magician's Guild led by the president never been involved in the affairs of our royal family?
?What kind of price did Prince Ning offer, and he even asked you to participate? Can I give it to you too?" The emperor felt very angry at the time, and he knew it when he saw the president.
The thing may not be possible. The man in front of me hasn't made a move in three thousand years. The last time he made a move, he fought off a level 10 warrior with a level 10 monster. His strength is simply unfathomable. It is said that he is now
To be continued...
