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

Chapter 253 Dalang, it’s time to take medicine

The dragon and the phoenix are upside down after the storm.

Dongfang Qing snuggled in his arms, muttering over and over again about the pain of missing him.

Ning Yi hugged her, stroked her smooth back, and said with a wry smile: "My dear Qing'er, it's not that your husband doesn't want to come and see you."

"It's that old guy. He's too insidious. He even pretended to be sick in private. How hateful."

When mentioning the Martial Emperor, Dongfang Qing's beautiful eyes were filled with hatred: "Damn old thing."

"The most inhuman thing, the shameless and depraved Emperor, has even deceived me."

She hated the emperor, that old guy, who had taken away her youth when she was only a teenager, and was still plotting against her.

Dongfang Qing raised her handsome face again, looked at Ning Yi with her beautiful eyes flashing, and said: "Husband, how about I think of a way."

"What method?" Ning Yi was surprised: "Can you still control him?"

Dongfang Qing's beautiful eyes flickered twice. "In fact, I have already bribed a palace maid beside him. I am considering whether to secretly drug him and poison him to death."

Ning Yi shuddered. The pig trotters who had been taking advantage of her stopped moving.

He felt very strange about this scene, as if he was thinking, "Dalang, it's time to take medicine."

And I am the scourge that is Ximen Qing.

Suddenly it occurred to me that the city gate that I seemed to have secretly occupied was Xiqing Gate. Could it be such a coincidence?

Ning Yi immediately advised: "Don't do anything rash."

Dongfang Qingmei's eyes were filled with confusion: "Husband, why?"

"Qing'er is also doing this for you, so that you can ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible, and then you can accompany Qing'er in the palace day and night."

"Don't you want to accompany me sooner?"

What the hell is companionship? Ning Yi muttered in his heart, this prince ascended the throne for the sake of all the people in the world, for the prosperity of the entire Dawu Kingdom, and to do real great things, not just for you, a woman.

Of course, Ning Yi didn't dare say this, otherwise Dongfang Qing, the woman he had just coaxed into his arms, would get angry again.

Ning Yi advised her: "Qing'er, this is too dangerous. The old man is very insidious. Every time he eats, he has several people test for poison. How could he be poisoned so easily?"

"Also, if he's discovered, he'll definitely investigate everyone. If he finds you, he won't show any mercy. For your safety and our bright future, you must be patient."

"When the time comes, my husband will personally lead the entire court, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, to the palace to kick the old emperor out. Then, he will solemnly embrace you in public and officially declare that you are the woman he loves most. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, there will be no recovery. For you, for my husband, and for our future children, please do not do anything stupid."

Dongfang Qing was so moved by the bright future he talked about so earnestly that tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

"Husband..." Dongfang Qing took the initiative to kiss him, her heart full of love.

When Ning Yi came back, he was muttering in his heart that Dongfang Qing was such a cruel woman.

He actually thought of poisoning the old emperor.

If the old emperor was really that easy to poison, he would have died countless times. How could it be her turn to do it now?

All we can do now is to calm down this silly woman Dongfang Qing and let her wait patiently.

Having her in the palace would be helpful for the emperor to have some advice from time to time.

After all, with the cunning and suspicious character of Emperor Wu, he would not doubt anything when he saw the Queen speaking well of the Sixth Prince.

Because the queen's biological son is the second prince, the sixth prince has no blood relationship with her.

No one would have thought that the Queen had shamelessly slept with the Sixth Prince several times.

......

Ning Yi has been very busy recently. He goes to the Jingying camp outside the city almost every other day.

But every time I pass by Xiqing Gate and look at the three big characters on it, I always feel uncomfortable and want someone to change the name of this gate.

The capital city has also been very lively recently.

Troops from various princes gathered in the capital city one after another.

When they had gathered about 30,000 to 50,000 people, the emperor ordered a veteran general with great merit to lead 5,000 to 8,000 cavalrymen to the northern border and deploy them in various places along the border.

They said that there were 5,000 to 8,000 soldiers as escort, but in fact they were just keeping an eye on them and would attack directly any vassal king's soldiers who dared to disobey.

Perhaps these vassal soldiers were arrogant and domineering in their hometowns, but when they arrived in the capital, they became obedient.

As long as the court in the capital provides them with food and drink, they have nothing to complain about.

The number of vassal kings' soldiers assembled in the capital alone was as high as more than 100,000. Although they were all selected by the vassal kings, their combat effectiveness was not very good.

But they are elite troops after all, much stronger than the old Beijing camp.

And this does not include the troops in the west and northwest, who also received orders one after another and had to send troops to the border.

According to statistics, there are as many as 200,000 elite troops.

With so many troops heading to the border, the old emperor and the court felt that the border was finally stable.

Han Dingtian no longer complained and cried for help.

But Ning Yi was not optimistic. Perhaps these vassal soldiers could stop the barbarians' attack when they reached the border.

But that is a situation where they can fight, and they will hold their ground.

But if the war goes against their will, these vassal soldiers will definitely not fight so desperately.

They had no belief in defending their country. They only knew that the vassal kings gave them money and food, and their families were all in the vassal kings' territories. The vassal kings were the emperors they should truly be loyal to.

So Ning Yi, now we must seize the time to forcefully train the Beijing Camp.

Qin Haifeng was puzzled. Seeing the Sixth Prince making the Beijing Camp train in strange formations every day, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what exactly is the purpose of this formation?"

The soldiers of the Beijing camp were seen forming square formations, with a circle of shields outside, and on top of the shields were silver spears, forming a forest of spears.

The inside was hollow, with archers standing inside. Under the orders of the officers, they were constantly training in groups, which looked extremely chaotic.

Ning Yi leaned his hands back and said calmly, "It's used to deal with cavalry."

"Can this formation deal with cavalry?" Qin Haifeng was very curious.

He thought it unlikely. Based on his experience in battles back then, this kind of formation was almost useless.

Such a thin defense circle can be easily broken through by cavalry.

The most effective formation for infantry to deal with cavalry is the phalanx, which is so thick that cavalry cannot break through.

But this hollow square formation is really hard to believe.

Not to mention cavalry, I guess even infantry can break it easily.

But Ning Yi insisted on training like this, and he even went to the base several times in person.

He took the initiative to let several old servants around him teach the Second Army, and also sent the elite servants who had already obtained this kind of formation to train the First and Third Armies.

The Fourth Army, which had only been trained for two months after its formation, and the Fifth Army also received the same training.

The only difference is that in addition to archers, the new army also has three-barreled guns and tiger-dun cannons that can fire a bunch of shotgun shells.

One training session can be very powerful.
