Chapter 141 Go ask Princess 9
After hearing the report from the head of the Intelligence Department, Ning Yi sneered, "Old Fourth, you're just a dog that's always eating shit."
The shopkeeper had already arranged for spies to enter the Fourth Prince's mansion, and he had found out that the Fourth Prince was having an affair with Aturu, who had just arrived in the capital.
"Watch closely and make sure to find out what they are plotting."
The shopkeeper bowed and accepted the order: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will investigate them thoroughly."
The shopkeeper is now very confident. Since the intelligence department was reorganized, its efficiency has been extremely high, and spies have been planted all over the capital.
They were even deployed in various parts of the country.
Even some princes' palaces were assigned personnel.
However, with so many people, a lot of money was wasted, and they could only make money by relying on caravans and restaurants built in various places to collect intelligence.
The shopkeeper reported another matter: "Your Highness, the commander of Xiqing Gate has been captured."
Ning Yi was very satisfied with the news: "Xiqing Gate is an important gate in the west city, guarded by 3,000 soldiers."
"From now on, Xiqingmen will belong to this prince. The other Beijing troops must continue to work hard."
After the shopkeeper left, Ning Yi instructed Qin Haifeng: "From the fifth round, select one hundred well-performing servants and prepare them to join the Xiqing Gate garrison next month."
Qin Haifeng nodded. They had already discussed this matter.
"Your Highness, where are the soldiers at Xiqing Gate?"
"Of course they'll all be replaced." Ning Yi said, "What's the point of keeping those soldiers who only pretend to bully the common people? Transfer them all away. Xiqingmen can only be safe with our own people."
"It's Yang Long's turn to contribute."
For such a long time, Yang Long, the Minister of War, has not provided much help in military affairs.
At this time, how can he not contribute?
All he had to do was to say that the commander of the garrison at Xiqing Gate had surrendered to the Sixth Prince, and he could transfer all the officers there from the Ministry of War.
......
Several days passed.
With the assistance of Yang Long, Ning Yigang replaced the entire garrison at Xiqing Gate.
Yang Long, the father-in-law, was naturally happy about this. It was a good thing that the commander of the western city gate was willing to submit to his son-in-law.
As for those grassroots officers, just replace them.
As long as the leader remains the same, no one will care.
The head of the intelligence department came running over to report: "Your Highness, this old servant has something important to report."
Ning Yi glanced at him and could tell from the shopkeeper's expression that the matter was serious.
Back in the study, the shopkeeper took out a letter and said, "Your Highness, this is the information that my subordinates have obtained from the Fourth Prince's mansion at the risk of their lives. Please take a look."
Ning Yi took the letter, opened it, and was immediately attracted by the content.
I couldn't help but sigh: "Old Four, Old Four, you are so bold."
The letter said that the Fourth Prince once discussed with the Prime Minister and decided to cooperate with the barbarians.
Kill the second prince first, then let the barbarians attack the border, and let the old emperor send troops to support the border.
Once the capital is short of troops, it will be a dangerous time.
The fourth prince immediately led his army to seize the palace and forced the old emperor to abdicate.
Then cooperate with the barbarians, cede cities, and promote and confer titles on border army generals to stabilize them.
By then, when the capital is under control and the border troops are stabilized, the entire world will belong to him, the fourth prince.
Ning Yi took a deep breath. After thinking about it carefully for a while, he had to admit that if the fourth brother's plan was carried out smoothly.
There is really a great chance of success.
"No wonder this guy has been so quiet lately, not bothering me anymore. Now he's targeting the Second Prince."
It is estimated that in the eyes of the Fourth Prince, he is ready to give it a try, and all he needs to do is to remove his biggest competitor, the Second Prince.
As for Ning Yi, a guy with only a few hundred servants can be dealt with at any time.
Ning Yi frowned and tapped his fingers on the table. This was His Highness's habit when thinking about problems.
Everyone in the room was silent, not daring to speak, for fear of disturbing His Highness's thoughts.
Finally, Ning Yi stopped pointing and looked at the shopkeeper: "Go and have someone inform the Second Prince to be careful of the Fourth Prince's assassination."
The shopkeeper was a little confused: "Your Highness, is it necessary to remind the Second Prince?"
"After all, the Second Prince is also an enemy."
He is the head of intelligence and has people stationed in the Second Prince's mansion.
Of course, I also know that the Second Prince also regards Your Highness as an enemy.
Ning Yi shook his head slightly: "At this time, the Second Prince cannot fall. This prince needs to wait for time to form a three-way balance of power."
Although he also hoped that the second prince would die sooner.
But he couldn't die now, otherwise with his current strength, he would not be able to stop the mad Fourth Prince.
Are we going to use the 20,000 new recruits who have just been trained?
If he is given another year, he will be able to gather tens of thousands of troops.
By then, he would wish that the Fourth Prince would kill the Second Prince, and then the Fourth Prince would start a rebellion.
At that time, Ning Yi was confident that his hard-trained army would be enough to crush the Fourth Prince's private soldiers and let him know what the gap was.
The shopkeeper obeys the order and follows His Highness's arrangements.
Ning Yi stood up and said, "Let's go to the inn."
Qin Haifeng worriedly advised, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince is currently cooperating with the barbarians. If you go to the posthouse at this time, wouldn't you be walking into a tiger's mouth?"
"Not really." Ning Yi said with a smile: "If the fourth brother wants to cause trouble, he must find a reasonable enough opportunity."
"No matter how foolish you are, you wouldn't act rashly at this moment. Even if I were to run to his house and scold him or slap him twice, he would definitely endure it."
"Besides," Ning Yi said, "it's only natural for this prince to visit his fiancée."
Ning Yi hasn't seen the Ninth Princess since the last poetry competition.
This time, we will go there and see if we can start from the Ninth Princess and destroy their plan, or at least get to know some more detailed plans first.
There were many guards guarding the entrance of the post station.
The Ninth Princess was sitting in her room with nothing to do. Ever since she was chosen as the marriage partner, she never went back to the barbarian tribe and lived directly in the capital of the Dawu Kingdom.
Atulu had just returned, and he came back in the name of a marriage envoy.
He also brought the Barbarian King's order, asking the Ninth Princess to marry the Sixth Prince, and to serve the Barbarians in the capital and gather information.
A servant came to report: "Princess, the Sixth Prince wishes to see you."
"Why is he here at this hour?" The Ninth Princess, dressed in noble barbarian attire and with bright eyes, wondered, "It's still too early for the wedding."
The maid beside her smiled and said, "Perhaps the Sixth Prince misses Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Hehe." The Ninth Princess sneered. She didn't believe that the Sixth Prince would miss her.
He might not even care about her as his fiancée.
It can be seen from the two times she was thrown into the lake.
"Call him in."
Just as the maid was about to leave, the Ninth Princess suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "Wait a minute."
"You guys go and prepare, this and that..."
The two maids were surprised: "Your Highness, he is your fiancé, it is not good to do this."
"What's wrong with that?" The Ninth Princess rolled her eyes beautifully. "This is how I want to deal with him, to avenge the humiliation he inflicted. I can also use this as a threat to force him to marry that woman, Yang Ziqin."
