I really became a king.

Chapter 331 The dove takes over the magpie's nest?

The grand court meeting ended in a rather grand and auspicious way. It can be said that it was an unprecedented grand court meeting in thousands of years.

At every grand court meeting, important national policies that would influence the strategic direction of the entire dynasty would be made, but this time was different, nothing was accomplished.

There were hundreds of thousands of people, a huge crowd, and many of them even came from various states and capitals. It was like a big fair.

Three things, but in the end, none of them was accomplished.

The first thing was to seize the military power, and the target was Prince Yi Jiang Yi, which was an alternative "giving up military power with a cup of wine". He used the title of prince to exchange for the 100,000 Sun and Moon troops in Jiang Yi's hands, but in the end, the military power was not obtained, but the title of prince fell on Jiang Yi's head.

Moreover, he also has the right to establish his own government, which is the prince title that Jiang Yi wants.

The second thing was to abolish all the academies in the world, but in the end, none of the academies in the world were abolished, and instead, Jiang Yi's success was achieved.

One word can teach the whole world. Relying on a word from a sage in the previous life, Jiang Yi became the common teacher of scholars all over the world, was respected as a saint teacher, and won the hearts of scholars all over the world.

Of course, in the eyes of most people, this false reputation has no effect and is just a flashy name. After all, scholars are the most useless group in this world. The saying "scholars are useless" is very appropriate in this world.

To some people, the title of "Holy Master" seems like a great irony.

But whether the facts are what they think, we can only wait and see.

The third thing is to abandon the Demon Realm Pass. This is only the first step. Once the decision is made to abandon the Demon Realm Pass, the second step will be to move the capital.

But this matter was stopped by Jiang Yi again, and the "price" was to permanently station troops in Western Xinjiang!

In the eyes of many people, the price paid by the Prince of Daliyi was too high. It was tantamount to asking for imprisonment. What he lost was not only a comfortable life, but also a bright future as a member of the royal family.

This time he traveled far to the Western Frontier, the possibility of returning in his lifetime is very slim. He might even be imprisoned in the Demon Realm forever like that extinct branch of the royal family, generation after generation, and his descendants.

Many people felt sorry for this, and even secretly cursed Jiang Yi for being a hopeless case and a coward.

Yes, in the eyes of many people, Jiang Yi asked to be stationed in Western Xinjiang forever because he was afraid and retreated, which was a compromise to the surging trend against him in the past three months.

So they choose to go to a cold and bitter place to protect themselves.

No matter what people speculate about this, one thing cannot be denied: if the Demon Realm Pass is preserved, there is no need to move the capital.

Therefore, once the grand court meeting was over, the entire Dali Imperial Capital was immersed in joy, which was the joy of ordinary people. The imperial capital would not move south, which meant that ordinary people like them would not have to leave their homes.

So after the grand court meeting was over, when Jiang Yi walked out of the palace gate, countless people heard the news and rushed over to greet him.

No matter what the original intention of this Prince Daliyi was, whether he was afraid of death or weak, he did provide a way of survival for tens of millions of residents in the imperial capital.

Jiang Yi didn't expect the scene to be so grand, but seeing their heartfelt joy, he felt a lot lighter in his heart.

Moving the capital involves many aspects and even affects the life and death of many people.

If at today's grand court meeting, it is really decided to abandon the Demon Realm Pass and move the imperial capital south, then, let alone the wasteland dotted with countless oases in the western suburbs of the imperial capital, it will be directly exposed to the iron hooves of the foreign troops.

Once the imperial capital moved south, most of the border troops in Humen and Heshuo would also move southward. Without heavy defense, Humen Pass would basically exist in name only.

For the vast majority of people living around the imperial capital of Dali, in a sense, their country was truly destroyed and their families were ruined.

"What on earth do you think?"

Jiang Yi was walking towards Prince Duan's palace when he heard a voice in his ears. It was Ning Donglai, one of the eight military leaders.

"Mr. Ning, do you think there is still a place for me in the imperial capital of Dali?" Jiang Yi slowed down his pace and waited for Ning Donglai to sit over, then they walked side by side on the official road.

Ning Dong looked at Jiang Yi, shook his head and said, "No matter what, there are many other options, but you chose the most difficult one..."

After that, he pointed in a certain direction with his eyes and said, "See? Many people are gloating over the misfortune because they solved the biggest hidden danger without any effort."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi looked around and saw that many people who had come out of the palace together were looking at him with contempt.

Especially the people from Ye Xinmei's faction. They were originally racking their brains over how to get rid of the big trouble of Jiang Yi, but they didn't expect that Jiang Yi would imprison himself.

Once they enter the Western Frontier, the suffering will be like a sea. From then on, Jiang Yi, the great enemy they fear so much, will be imprisoned forever in the narrow, bitter and cold land of Demon Realm Pass.

"It's better to go to the Western Frontier to avoid the limelight first..." Ning Donglai sighed. After all, the other party was too aggressive and too upright.

Fortunately, I am not alone, and there are 100,000 Sun and Moon troops accompanying me. I believe I should be able to gain a foothold among those arrogant soldiers and at least protect myself.

Jiang Yi didn't say anything. Hiding from the limelight? It should be said that he was a hidden dragon in the abyss. When he returned to the capital of Dali next time, he would soar to the sky.

After bidding farewell to Ning Donglai, Jiang Yi, accompanied by Ding Ren and a pair of other guards, walked towards Prince Duan's Mansion. On the way, he met many colleagues. Those who were close to him would come up to him and exchange a few words, while most of them would just nod slightly in greeting.

Since the two mansions separated, Prince Duan's mansion suddenly seemed empty, with only the seventh child Jiang Zhongshuo and his biological mother living here.

Perhaps because of Xiaoqi's biological mother's personality, the entire Prince Duan's Mansion became low-key, even to the point that there wasn't even a gatekeeper outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Jiang Yi frowned, thinking that this was too low-key. When it came down to it, it was because Xiao Qi's biological mother was too soft-hearted and timid because of her background.

"An Daohui has met His Majesty."

Just as he arrived at the gate of the palace, An Daohui, who had taken over as the chief steward of Prince Duan's palace, happened to walk out. When he saw Jiang Yi, he hurriedly saluted.

"Get up." Jiang Yi looked at the old man from Prince Duan's Mansion in front of him and felt that he looked much more listless.

This is not like the iron-blooded steward who has been with Prince Duan Jiang Lie for most of his life.

Probably because he knew the news that Jiang Yi requested to be stationed in Western Frontier forever, An Daohui looked at Jiang Yi's expression and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jiang Yi knew what he was going to say, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Chief Steward An also doesn't think highly of me?"

"Don't worry, the Western Frontier may be a graveyard to others, but it is the best place for me."

Then he stopped talking about this topic and asked, "Where is the prince?"

Ever since the separation of Prince Duan and Prince Yi's palaces, Jiang Yi requested an imperial decree to confer the title of the seventh child, Jiang Zhongshuo, as the Crown Prince of Prince Duan.

"Your Highness, the prince is studying. I will go and call him now."

"No need, just take me there." After saying this, he walked towards Prince Duan's mansion.

An Daohui was leading the way half a body behind, looking a little uneasy. After walking in for a while, Jiang Yi felt something was wrong. The entire Prince Duan's Mansion was too quiet, but there was nothing strange about the quietness.

After all, both Xiaoqi and Xiaoqi's biological mother are quiet people.

But where were the people? The entire front yard was completely empty, not to mention the guards, not even a maid or old woman was to be seen.

When he divided the palace, although he deliberately reduced the number of personnel in Prince Duan's Palace, including the guards, eunuchs, maids and old women, there were still several hundred people left.

But now, in the Prince Duan’s mansion, there was not even a single guard in the entire front yard.

And An Daohui's expression became more and more uneasy, and finally his forehead was covered with a layer of sweat.

Jiang Yi noticed it and frowned, "Why, Manager An, do you have something to say?"

An Daohui gritted his teeth and was about to say something, but at this moment, a noisy sound came from the backyard. The most piercing sound was a shout, accompanied by a weak wailing.

Jiang Yi stopped and looked at Ding Ren, whose face was also pale at this time.

Although he didn't know what had happened in Prince Duan's Mansion, the scene was definitely abnormal, and he, as the eyes and ears of his own prince, was completely unaware of it.

This was a serious dereliction of duty, but he was also extremely confused. What on earth had happened in Prince Duan's Mansion? Why didn't he get any news at all?

Jiang Yi simply stood there and didn't move, because the noise was getting closer and closer.

As for An Daohui, he simply knelt on the ground with his forehead touching the ground, motionless.

Jiang Yi ignored him and just looked at a small archway not far away with interest. The small archway connected to the backyard of Prince Duan's Mansion.

Soon, a group of people came out from the archway. There were quite a few of them, about a dozen or so.

But Jiang Yi frowned deeply, because these people looked unfamiliar. Although they were dressed in bright clothes, they seemed out of place in this palace.

The leader was a dark-skinned woman, surrounded by some strong women.

Two of the strong old women were holding a young girl. The girl was wearing the uniform of a maid in the palace and seemed to be a maid in Prince Duan's palace.

"What are you doing and how did you get in?!"

As soon as they walked out of the archway, the dark-skinned woman in the lead saw Jiang Yi and his group and immediately questioned them.

Jiang Yi didn't say anything, but just looked at her expressionlessly. The maid, who had been hanging her head weakly, raised her head when she heard the words, and a hint of life suddenly appeared in her lifeless eyes.

"My Lord, I am innocent."

Prince? The expressions of the dozen strong women changed. Where did the prince come from?
The dark-skinned woman in the lead seemed to have remembered something and must have guessed Jiang Yi's identity. However, there was no fear on her face, but instead a hint of disdain.

At this time, Ding Ren had already walked over with several personal soldiers and took the maid from several healthy women who were already a little mad.

The dark-skinned woman looked angry and wanted to yell something, but swallowed it back under Ding Ren's cold gaze.

“Someone, come here, where have you all gone? We didn’t even know someone broke in…”

The dark-skinned woman took a few steps back and suddenly shouted loudly towards the backyard. Then there was a noisy sound of footsteps, and several men dressed in the uniforms of royal guards ran out breathlessly, followed by a dozen servants in blue.

"Who! Who dares to act so rudely in my Zhang Mansion!"

Zhang's Mansion? When did this place become Zhang's Mansion? Jiang Yi looked at the group of people in amazement. The few people in the lead, who were dressed in the uniforms of the palace guards, were indeed disheveled and sloppy. They didn't look like guards at all.

On the contrary, the dozen or so blue-clothed servants behind him were full of energy and vigor, faintly emitting a murderous aura.

"See you, my lord!"

After seeing Jiang Yi, more than a dozen servants in blue immediately knelt on the ground. On the contrary, the palace guards stood there with a confused look on their faces.

"Who can tell me what happened?" Jiang Yi's face looked a little ugly. Although he couldn't call out the names of these dozen servants, he recognized that these dozen blue-clothed servants were the former guards of the palace.

However, those people dressed in the uniforms of the royal guards were all strangers.

Then he turned to look at An Daohui, who had been kneeling there motionless from beginning to end.

"Go and invite your two masters!" Jiang Yi said to one of the servants in blue, then turned around and walked towards the former Gongqi Hall, ignoring An Daohui who was still kneeling there.

The servant in blue was cheered up and ran to the backyard as soon as he received the order.

"How dare you..." The dark-skinned woman wanted to yell when she saw this, but was knocked to the ground by a personal soldier with the handle of his sword.

"You...how dare you hit me? I'm Xiao Qi's aunt!"

"Slap!" Upon hearing that, Jiang Yi paused, gave a cold scold and walked into the Jingqi Hall.

Xiao Qi? Can you just call him Xiao Qi casually? Apart from the brothers and the elders of the royal family, even Cao Yude of the Military Affairs Department had to respectfully address Jiang Zhongshuo as the Crown Prince or the Seventh Master when he saw him.

However, he already had a vague guess in his mind that it seemed that the Prince Duan's Mansion had been "occupied by someone".

Jiang Yi couldn't help but feel a little absurd. This was the Prince Duan's mansion, and it was right under the noses of the Dali royal family, yet someone had blatantly occupied its nest.

This is truly the biggest mistake in the world!
As soon as he entered the Jingqi Hall, Jiang Yi was stunned. Is this still the same Jingqi Hall as before? Why did it give him the feeling of being poor?

Because the entire Huqi Hall was empty, the white tiger painting was gone, the extremely expensive armchair was gone, the entire Huqi Hall had become an empty room, even the decorations on the walls had been stripped off.

So much so that you can hear the echo of your footsteps when you walk inside.

Then Jiang Yi remembered something, turned around and walked out of the Jingqi Hall, raised his head to look above the gate, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The plaque of the Jingqi Hall was also missing. No wonder he always felt something was wrong when he entered the door.

Jiang Yi had an ugly look on his face. He waved his hand and entered the Jingqi Hall again. He just stood there in the empty hall, waiting for the real owner to arrive.

At this time, in the backyard, some people were happy and some were worried when they heard that Jiang Yi had come. Of course, there were also those who were dismissive, those who thought they were well-informed: they were exiled to the Western Frontier and couldn't protect themselves, why did they come here to show off their power!
Little did they know that even if Jiang Yi was in a state of desolation and could barely protect himself, he was still no match to them.

"Shuo'er, you must speak up for your uncle and aunt later. Remember, we are a family." A gorgeously dressed lady said to a child of seven or eight years old as she walked.
