Murong Villa has properties not only in the Ling Kingdom, but also in other neighboring countries. The Nanming Kingdom, which is extremely open to trade, is indispensable for the Murong Villa industry. Although in Nanming, Murong Villa is not as presumptuous as in the Ling Kingdom, but it cannot be underestimated.
A force to behold.
This is also the instruction Dongfang Ye gave Qin Yi two years ago. He has always been a person who wants to arrange everything in the future at the first step. Murong Villa cannot cover the sky in Ling Kingdom with one hand. Even if he buys a lot of properties privately, in the
After all, he still has to give face to the court, so Dongfang Ye has long thought about extending his hands to the surrounding Nanming and Xia Kingdom once the development of Ling Kingdom has stagnated. However, his thoughts are inconsistent with Qin Yi's.
The two profiteers hit it off immediately and started making preparations immediately.
Using merchants to lay hidden stakes in Nanming was the reason why Dongfang Ye was able to know the internal disputes within the Nanming royal family at the first time. As far as he knew, the seventh prince was the son of Concubine Xian, and the power of Concubine Xian's mother's family was the most astonishing in the court.
In addition, the mother-in-law of the seventh prince's head wife is an honorary prince who holds military power, so the voice for supporting the seventh prince as heir is the highest. However, in fact, the power of the seventh prince is also a thorn in the emperor's heart. The sharp-edged seventh prince
, I still don’t know when I lost the emperor’s favor.
Dongfang Ye originally did not want to participate in the disputes between the Nanming royal family, but now that the seventh prince of Nanming colluded with the British king of Ling Kingdom, this was something that neither he nor the emperor could tolerate. Dongfang Ye could stand by and watch the princes compete for the crown prince, but if
He would never tolerate using the lives of the people and soldiers as stepping stones.
"Has everything been arranged at the palace?" Dongfang Ye still stood by the window and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Yao Li will disguise himself as Young Master and stay in Prince Rong's Mansion. His subordinates have arranged for people to meet him outside the palace. Prince, don't worry." Who would have thought that Yu Jian, who saved Prince Rong two years ago and gradually became his confidant, actually actually
It is the hidden stake of Murong Villa.
"I have worked hard for you these two years. When things here are over, you can go back to Linyang." Dongfang Ye turned to look at Yu Jian and said to him, "Mrs. Yu has been waiting for you for a long time. I heard that your son
I can already recite poetry.”
In the past two years, Yu Jian has been with King Rong and never left. In fact, he had a chance to return to Linyang, but in order to avoid the possibility of exposing his identity, he endured all the thoughts and thoughts.
Reluctant to give up.
"Thank you, Mr. Yu." Yu Jian bowed and thanked him. He killed someone when he was young. Although the person was a corrupt official, he had to pay for the murder with his life. Dongfang Ye sent people to the death row to change him out, and then sent someone to take him out.
His wife who was sent to the frontier was rescued. From then on, Yu Jian stayed at Murong Villa and worked for Dongfang Ye.
"I'm afraid there will be chaos here soon, King Rong. You and Yao Li will leave when you see the opportunity and don't get involved in these things." Dongfang Ye added.
"Yes." Yu Jian took out an account book from his sleeve, "This is the account book of King Rong's private military operations in the past two years, as well as his records of buying and selling official positions."
Dongfang Ye took the account book, flipped through two pages, and praised: "Well done."
With these things, it shouldn't be difficult to bring down the Seventh Prince. In addition, there is a plan to privately place the Ling Kingdom County Prince under house arrest. Dongfang Ye doesn't need to explain the meaning. Emperor Nanming should be able to understand it.
Late at night, a dark shadow flashed into Dongfang Ye's room. Dongfang Ye looked at the face that was exactly the same as his and was amazed. There were many people with extraordinary abilities around him. Every time he saw Yao Li wearing his own face,
There is always a strange sense of dissonance.
"I'll have to work hard for you from now on." After changing his clothes, Dongfang Ye told him twice before disappearing. Yao Li bowed slightly towards his leaving figure, then took off his coat gracefully and hung it on the mahogany hanger.
, took a book from the bookshelf and went to bed, leaning on the cushion and reading.
A guard walked by outside the door. He saw the sickly figure on the bed through the window. He nodded slightly unconsciously and secretly sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being a prince from a noble family. He showed extreme elegance and nobility even in a deserted place.
What a character...
Somewhere in the Nanming Palace, a dark shadow flashed past, and calm returned. The guards on night watch did not notice anything amiss and continued walking along their usual path.
Dongfang Ye's Qinggong has always been excellent, and his night vision ability is even better. He just got a map of the palace outside the palace. He just glanced at it briefly and remembered it in his mind. He knew that Emperor Nanming had not entered in the past two days.
Instead of staying in the imperial study room, he headed towards the imperial study room.
"Who?" If you think that the gentle-looking Emperor of Nanming doesn't know martial arts, you are totally wrong. Although Nanming values culture over martial arts, this emperor is someone who values martial arts over martial arts. Although he has never experienced troubled times.
, but he is also a person who is deeply familiar with the art of war. When he was young, he went to war with his uncle. He had no military merit, but he still had some reputation in the army.
Dongfang Ye walked out of the shadows. He didn't feel any awkwardness about breaking into the palace, nor did he feel any embarrassment about being discovered. Instead, he walked towards the emperor's desk in a leisurely manner with a smile on his face.
Two dark shadows appeared behind the emperor. They stepped forward to block Dongfang Ye's steps and looked at him defensively.
"Prince Heng of the Xia Ling Kingdom came to visit late at night, so I'm sorry to disturb you." Dongfang Ye, who had always been calm, looked at the Nanming Emperor on the dragon throne with a smile.
"Why did Prince Heng appear in my imperial study?" Emperor Nanming narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Dongfang Ye, and secretly admired in his heart, the young master Dongfang Yuan is indeed a great one among men.
"Why does this king appear in Nanming? The emperor must know it very well, right?" Dongfang Ye has stayed with an emperor for ten years, so he naturally knows it. If King Rong of Nanming robbed the king of Lingguo, the emperor of Nanming didn't know.
, then his throne may not be secure.
"It seems that I overestimated the guards of Prince Rong's Mansion." Emperor Nanming suddenly laughed and did not directly answer Dongfang Ye's question.
"Prince Rong underestimated me." Dongfang Ye replied lightly. He was not self-righteous, but stating the facts.
If King Rong is really a bit weak, it would not be that after planning for so long, the Seventh Prince still cannot take the position of Crown Prince. It can only be said that he is not capable enough, or it should be said that he is not as good as Emperor Nanming, but this is not the case.
It is also natural, otherwise the person sitting on the dragon throne should be His Royal Highness.
"Not only did Prince Rong underestimate Prince Heng, I also underestimated Prince Heng." His tone was still indifferent.
The two looked at each other, but no one spoke for a long time, as if they were waiting for the other person to speak, or as if they were evaluating something in their hearts.
After a long time, someone finally spoke.
"I wonder if the Emperor is interested in knowing the whereabouts of the legitimate prince?"
