I really became a king.

Chapter 316: An alternative way of “releasing military power over a cup of wine”?
After Shi Yu left, Jiang Yi sat alone in the room and pondered for a while. Although he had made a decision, he was still a little hesitant.

Should we take this opportunity to join forces with Donglan Shiyu to completely eradicate the Ye family of Bailing?

The risk is great, but it is not impossible to succeed.

The rise of the Bailing Ye family occurred during the hundred years since Ye Xinmei came to power. They definitely have some foundation, but it is only at the level of a nouveau riche. As long as they are ruthless and do not care about the cost, the possibility of success is very high.

More importantly, he and the Ye family of Bailing are now in a situation of life and death, especially after Ye Ke's death in his hands, the situation has reached a point where it cannot be eased.

Either you die or I die, this is the true portrayal of his relationship with the Ye family of Bailing.

"Let's do it! As long as we can eliminate the Ye family in Bailing, it's worth paying some price!"

Is the foundation of the Bailing Ye family strong? It is strong. Although it is a nouveau riche rise, it spans the secular world and the secular world, and there are many strong people in the family.

Take the eighth realm for example. According to the information he obtained, in addition to Ye Dingtian, there should be one to two eighth realm strongmen in his own clan. In addition, there are several strong men from other families who have been won over to serve.

This is just the intelligence collected by Jiang Yi, and there may be more hidden in the dark.

As for the realm below the eighth, it has to be said that the Ye family's fortunes have soared in the years since Ye Xinmei ascended to the throne, and talented people have emerged in large numbers. The number of strong men in the sixth and seventh realms is already the foundation of a top wealthy family.

Jiang Yi tapped his fingers rhythmically and began to calculate the power comparison between the two sides in his mind.

First of all, the most powerful person in the eighth realm, under his command are Fulong and Fulong’s two good friends, which makes three people in total. Even if the Ghost Lord Fang Yue who is in the Yinshan Realm is added, their strength is still not enough to face the Ye family.

But there is also Shi Yu. Since Bo Shidang dared to arrange for the establishment of a new dynasty before entering the Yinshan Secret Realm, the hidden power must be not small...

At this moment, the voice of Ning Wuze, the head of the Shadow Department, asking for a meeting came from outside the door.

Jiang Yi put aside his thoughts for the moment and asked the other party to come in.

"Your Highness, Grandpa has something for me to tell you." Ning Wu Ze came in, bowed, and spoke directly.

"Oh? What?" Jiang Yi's mind straightened up. If he guessed correctly, the content of the message must be related to the undercurrents in the past three months.

"The wind is strong and the waves are rough, so keep a low profile!" Ning Wu Ze finally said these eight words slowly.

Jiang Yi was silent. He understood what Ning Donglai meant by these eight words. He had indeed been too aggressive in the past few years, but the situation forced him to do so. If he didn't show off his aggressiveness, he would die...

During the three months since he was away, the capital of Dali had been undercurrents, and something had been brewing in secret, as if it was waiting for him to die in the Yinshan Secret Realm before it could explode.

But now he is back, alive, and with supreme power having killed countless people. I am afraid that those people who have been secretly restless for the past three months will not be willing to accept this.

Ning Wu Ze looked at Jiang Yi, whose face was as gloomy as water, and continued, "In the morning court tomorrow, His Majesty may be conferred the title of Prince."

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. The title of prince is truly second to none in the Dali royal family, and each of them is extremely powerful.

But if you want to be crowned a prince, you must have real military achievements.

Although Jiang Yi has risen like a comet in recent years, and challenged the secular sects with his own strength, and shined in this Yinshan Secret Realm, he is still far from being promoted to the title of prince.

"Prince? Didn't you say what kind of merit he was promoted to?" Jiang Yi suddenly said with a playful smile.

Ning Wu Ze had obviously received relevant information from his grandfather a long time ago, and said without any hesitation: "Rebuilding the Sun and Moon Terrace and establishing the merit of supporting the sky, this achievement can break the precedent..."

Jiang Yi chewed over these words slowly, and suddenly sneered, saying: "Achievements that support the sky? What a great achievement that supports the sky? Is this the final reward based on merits..."

Ning Wu Ze was dejected upon hearing this. It was obvious that his grandfather had already explained it clearly to him. To reward people based on their merits in the name of supporting the sky, the hidden meaning was that they could retire after achieving their goal and enjoy wealth and glory. It even had a bit of a "final verdict" in it.

After all, one person would only need one to achieve the feat of supporting the heavens, and then they could retire and enjoy their wealth and luxury...

Jiang Yi was speechless for a long time. This reminded him of the "cup of wine to release military power" in the previous Zhao Song Dynasty. A cup of turbid wine removed the military power of the general. Now, they wanted to use a prince's hat to remove the 100,000 sun and moon double wheels in his hand.

If there was no hidden meaning behind this, Jiang Yi would be happy to be promoted to the prince. Because according to the ancestral system of Dali, once promoted to the prince, in addition to having a larger personal guard, he can also openly openly establish a government and build his own private army.

Of course, the size of a private army would certainly be limited. And although this was an ancestral rule, it was too taboo, so it had long been in name only.

Since the establishment of the Dali Dynasty, there have been many people promoted to the title of prince. However, it was only during the early period of the dynasty that many princes followed the ancestral system to establish their own palaces. After that, no prince dared to establish his own palace, because those who had such thoughts were dead.

Of course, even if he was promoted to prince, Jiang Yi would not really openly establish a government and build a capital, but he did have a righteous status and could thoroughly consolidate his control over the Sun and Moon Terrace.

But now they want to use this opportunity to deprive him of his military power and make him retire. Just a prince title is really not enough...

"Is this what my great grandfather meant?" Jiang Yi asked.

"The Emperor has not expressed his opinion on this, but he seems to be somewhat interested..." Ning Wuzhe carefully conveyed his grandfather's words, fearing that they might be misunderstood by Jiang Yi.

"Yes, who wouldn't be tempted? These are the Sun and Moon wheels that could overwhelm the entire secular sect in ancient times..." Jiang Yi murmured, his expression a little unpredictable.

He remembered what Mo Qiuxian had said to him: Be careful of your grandfather.

He really found this royal grandfather a little hard to figure out.

As an emperor, he was absolutely cruel. After Prince Duan Jiang Lie became a useless person, he simply abandoned him, even though he was his most beloved prince.

And it's not just that. To watch the seven sons of Prince Duan walk onto the Longmen Arena is not just a matter of cruelty. If Jiang Yizheng hadn't knocked on the palace gate on the Fire Bridge, the Longmen Arena would have become a fair arena.

The lineage of Prince Duan has long been extinct.

As an emperor, it is rare to be so cold-blooded.

But after he won the Longmen Tournament, the other party's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and they supported him more than ever before.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to wield the Hundred Thousand Sun and Moon Wheels at such a young age. Before entering the Yinshan Secret Realm, he even sought his opinion. It seemed that as long as he showed that he did not want to go to the Yinshan Secret Realm, he would not have to go.

But in just three months, the other party's attitude changed again, and they even had the intention of depriving him of his military power by using an empty title of prince.

Was he afraid that he would become more powerful? Threatening his position? This was normal, but Jiang Yi always felt that there might be other reasons, and it was not that simple. Especially after Mo Qiuxian said that, this feeling became stronger.

"What should my great-grandfather-in-law know?" Jiang Yi had a hunch, but unfortunately these old monsters have lived for so many years and like to be secretive when speaking.

Ning Wu Ze glanced at Jiang Yi carefully, feeling a little embarrassed. He was wondering how he could convey his grandfather's suggestion without offending his own prince, but he didn't expect Jiang Yi to take the initiative to ask.

"Does Mr. Ning have any good suggestions?"

After hearing Jiang Yi's words, Ning Wuzhe pondered for a moment, and finally decided to convey his grandfather's original words without moving a muscle: "Endure! Attack!"

Jiang Yi closed his eyes slightly, and tapped the handle of the seat with his right hand, as if analyzing the hidden meaning of the two words. As for Ning Wuze, he stood there quietly, and seemed to be thinking about the meaning of the two words.

"Why can't these old monsters, who have lived for a long time, explain themselves clearly..." Jiang Yi muttered to himself.

He understood the meaning of the first word, which was nothing more than asking him to be patient. But if he was patient, how could he "attack"? Did it mean that he should use attack as defense and advance as retreat?

"Does Mr. Ning have anything else to say?" Jiang Yi asked.

Ning Wu Ze shook his head, but seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "If you have anything else to say, just tell me directly."

Ning Wu Ze then said, "Grandfather and I will perform a play at the banquet today. After the banquet, I will use this opportunity to leave the Ning Mansion and join the Sun and Moon Platform completely."

Jiang Yi nodded without commenting. This play would probably be very clumsy no matter how it was performed. However, for someone of Ning Lao's status and position, it didn't need to be realistic. An excuse would be enough.

And Ning Wu Ze can also use this opportunity to stay in the Sun and Moon Terrace, and Ning Dong Lao can also say with a clear conscience that I have tried my best!
The child has grown up, I have taken care of him, but he doesn't listen and even ran away from home. What can I do...

"Have you prepared accommodation in advance?" Jiang Yi asked.

"It's ready. Hehe, it's really big, almost as big as the Ning Mansion. Everything is ready, including the servants who will leave with us..."

Jiang Yi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. The grandfather and grandson had just fallen out, and then they moved out of the Ning Mansion. The speed at which these things were packed up... Anyone who is not a fool can see that this was prepared in advance.

But this old man Ning is quite interesting. He is clearly telling everyone that we, grandfather and grandson, are just acting. So what?

This might be a way of supporting himself, and Jiang Yi couldn't help but feel touched.

But at this time, Ning Wuze's face looked a little strange, and he hesitated and said: "But there is only one house..."

Jiang Yi didn't understand. What's wrong with a house? Even if you have a family, it's enough for you to live in.

"This... In addition to our family, there will be another person leaving with us." Ning Wu Ze continued to hesitate.

Jiang Yi felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked, "Who else will leave with him?"

"My little aunt..."

Little aunt? Jiang Yi looked a little uncomfortable. It seemed that this little aunt from Ning Mansion was the wife of Jiang Shihuai, a disciple of Prince Zhong. Later, she severed her relationship with Prince Zhong's Mansion and moved back to Ning Mansion.

More importantly, Jiang Shihuai had mentioned indignantly before him that it seemed that "he" had some unclear relationship with this young aunt... and Jiang Shihuai acquiesced...

This is a bit embarrassing, but the problem is that I don’t remember this at all now.

"Ahem, what nonsense! Why is your aunt getting involved? This drama has been overdone." Jiang Yi coughed unnaturally.

"Hehe...hehe..." Ning Wu Ze also smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to continue this topic.

"But just come out." Jiang Yi was speechless and said perfunctorily.

"Yes, yes, but... the house I found can't accommodate everyone..." Ning Wu Ze could only move the topic forward himself.

No more room? Jiang Yi looked at Ning Wuze speechlessly. You are kidding me. Just now you said that the area is very large, not inferior to the Ning Mansion in any way. Now you tell me that there is no room?
Ning Wuze, who was a little anxious at Jiang Yi's look, knew that he had to find another excuse. Without thinking, he changed the topic and said, "Actually, my aunt is not on good terms with my wife..."

"Hehe..." Jiang Yi didn't say anything, but just sneered repeatedly. Are you kidding? Everyone in the entire Dali Capital knows that the little aunt of the Ning family likes her niece-in-law, Ning Wuze's wife, the most. Now you tell me that they are not getting along?

Ning Wuze sighed in his heart that this was too difficult, so he made up his mind and said affirmatively: "Yes, we just had a falling out!"

"Then you should find her another place to live." Jiang Yi had no choice but to say.

"It's too dangerous for my aunt to live alone." Ning Wu Ze said without thinking.

Danger? Jiang Yi was completely speechless. Ning Donglai had a daughter in his old age, and doted on her. Not to mention her martial arts skills, as soon as her daughter was born, she personally wrote to the Emperor of Dali and transferred half of her personal guards to this little aunt.

What's even more ridiculous is that the Emperor of Dali actually agreed, and even ordered that even if Old Ning was a hundred years old, this group of guards would still belong to the young aunt of the Ning Mansion, and the system would not be abolished until the other party was also a hundred years old.

Who is Ning Donglai? He has fought in the Nine Frontiers for most of his life. The personal soldiers under his command are extremely powerful. Not to mention guarding the house, it is enough for him to form an army with them as the backbone.

Jiang Yi looked at Ning Wuze, but the other party had obviously made up his mind to be shameless. He turned his neck and looked away.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Jiang Yi said with gritting his teeth.

"Let my aunt move into Prince Yi's Mansion..." Ning Wu Ze was waiting for this sentence and continued without hesitation.

Jiang Yi's face was a little ugly. What was going on? Why should Jiang Zhongbao let him take over the sin he had committed? But then again, this Ning Mansion's aunt was not the first one. Take Mi Qingqing for example. Her innocent body was taken over, which was more like a "blessing"...

Ning Wu Ze seemed to notice that Jiang Yi was somewhat relaxed, and he was secretly delighted, and continued: "This is what my grandfather meant, and it is also what my aunt wants, and... and my aunt said that she is now free and her body is clean, and the prince... the prince can do whatever he wants, and she will not refuse... refuse the prince again..."

Ning Wu Ze felt a little jealous as he spoke these words. He thought about how his aunt had never said such a humiliating thing. Even when she married into Prince Zhong's mansion, she walked into the mansion in military uniform and with a sword. Jiang Shihuai, that bastard, could only watch helplessly all these years...

But now, these words have lowered him to such an extent that even the last bit of reserve has been let go.

In her entire life, my aunt has never been so compromising!
