I really became a king.
Chapter 334
Chapter 334
Jiang Yi felt very upset. Was it because he had not given enough? Or was he too saintly?
He wholeheartedly supported his younger brother to become the heir to Prince Duan's Mansion, and for this purpose he even "drove" several older brothers out of the Mansion, just to ensure that the other party could take over the Mansion smoothly.
Among the brothers, the seventh brother Jiang Zhongshuo was the least competitive, but because of his young age and strong plasticity, Jiang Yi chose him.
But now it seems that he was really wrong.
Even if the entire Prince Duan's Mansion was emptied, Jiang Yi was angry but not heartbroken.
What really chilled him was that the other party was actually secretly communicating with Queen Ye, and it seemed that they had a close relationship. Even everything that had happened in Prince Duan's Mansion during this period was inseparable from the shadow of Queen Ye.
"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, you are really not little anymore..."
"Have you forgotten the Dragon Gate Contest that nearly wiped out the entire Duan Palace?"
"Knowing clearly that the Duan and Yi mansions are already at loggerheads with the Imperial Grandmother, why did you take this step?"
Jiang Yi stopped. He actually wanted to ask Xiao Qi these questions in person, but he was so discouraged that the result would be the same whether he asked or not. It would be even worse not to ask.
Although he was only eight or nine years old, he was really not young in this world and already had the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Obviously, the other party chose another path, and between Prince Yi's Mansion and the Imperial Grandmother, he chose the Imperial Grandmother.
Looking back at the door of the Qitang that had been closed again from the inside, Jiang Yi felt a chill in his heart.
In this matter, the Empress Dowager must have known that it would not cause any real harm to her and that her purpose was purely to disgust her.
Jiang Yi was sure that from the moment he stepped into Prince Duan's Mansion, a piece of news must have spread throughout the entire Dali Imperial Capital:
You see, Prince Yi does not recognize me as his royal grandmother, but the heir to the Prince Duan’s Mansion whom he carefully selected, and his most beloved youngest brother, is different from him and still recognizes me as his royal grandmother.
Jiang Yi was even certain that emptying the entire Prince Duan's Mansion was probably the work of the Empress Dowager. After all, the wealth that Jiang Yi left to the Prince Duan's Mansion was enough to make many people jealous.
As for Kang Jong Suk and his mother, and their family, they are just pawns in Queen Ye's hands.
Jiang Yi shook his head, then looked at the two figures still kneeling on the ground, his heart filled with anger.
If Kang Jong Suk made him feel disheartened, then these two made him furious.
As the leader of two underground intelligence forces, he knew nothing about the dealings between Kang Jong Suk and Queen Ye, which was a serious dereliction of duty.
"If you two feel that you are not up to the task, I will call back Lu Fan's Blood-Clothed Guards." Jiang Yi said coldly.
The two people who had been kneeling on the ground did not say anything, but just knelt there motionless.
"Take care of yourself. This is your last chance." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
At today's grand court meeting, he requested to be stationed in the Western Frontier forever, but considering the special nature of Prince Duan's Mansion, it was inconvenient for him to go to the Demon Realm Pass with them, so he reported to the emperor and asked him to keep Jiang Zhongshuo's branch in the Dali Imperial Capital.
So after the court meeting, he rushed here, just to check in with Xiao Qi in advance and arrange things for after he left. But he didn't expect to see this scene.
After Jiang Yi disappeared, Fu Long, who was always inseparable from him, did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked to the side of the black-robed man, but did not do anything else. He just said:
"Is this what you think of as your extraordinary strategy? Think about it carefully. If it happens again next time, I will be the first one to kill you without your help!" After saying that, he chased after Jiang Yi with great speed.
After Jiang Yi and the other person left, the two people who had been kneeling on the ground with their heads down slowly stood up and looked at each other with bitterness in their eyes.
Then they walked towards An Daohui together...
On the second day, news spread from the capital of Dali: Jiang Zhongshuo, the newly promoted prince of Prince Duan, was imprisoned! And all his relatives who had followed the "chicken and dog ascended to heaven" were also expelled, and of course, a few heads fell.
The one who imprisoned Kang Jong Suk was none other than Prince Yi, but the King and Queen of Dali turned a blind eye to it and said nothing.
At the same time, many people noticed that the entire Dali Imperial City was filled with a faint smell of blood, but those who were well-informed knew that this was the result of the new Prince Yi's internal purge.
Through this incident, Fuquan and Ding Ren also realized that there was a traitor among their hidden agents in the capital of Dali, and his position was not low. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be kept in the dark, so a major purge was imperative.
When their purge proposal was submitted to Prince Yi's palace, they only received six words: It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go!
The two men instantly understood what their prince meant. As they were about to set off for the Western Frontier, their power in the Dali Imperial Capital would be weakened to the extreme.
Therefore, absolute loyalty must be guaranteed, and anyone with any ulterior motives must be eliminated.
Therefore, Dark Tiger and Shadow Pigeon, the two largest intelligence agencies under Jiang Yi, launched an internal purge with lightning speed. At the same time, they also launched fierce retaliation against the underground forces affiliated with Ye Xinmei, and started a bloody battle with them.
Dali Palace, Dingyuan.
The Dali Emperor Jiang Zhenyi looked at his first wife in front of him and said with a wry smile: "Are you satisfied now?"
Ye Xinmei snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves and walked out of Dingyuan.
Jiang Zhenyi looked at the departing figure, his eyes flickering inexplicably, and he seemed very restless.
As for Jiang Yi, ever since he returned to Prince Yi's Palace from Prince Duan's Palace, he issued an order: All the nine tribes of the Sun and Moon Terrace must set out in one month and head to the Demon Realm Pass in the western border.
At the command, the Sun and Moon Terrace camp at the foot of Luofu Mountain began to move, with people coming and going in an endless stream, and everything proceeding in an orderly manner.
Jiang Yi had nothing to worry about because before the grand court meeting, he convened a secret meeting with the heads of the nine Sun and Moon tribes and all the core backbone personnel.
Everything is based on the principle of voluntariness. Those who don't want to go to Xinjiang can go, but they must leave the Sun and Moon Wheels behind.
Originally Jiang Yi thought that a large number of people would leave. After all, the Western Frontier Demon Pass was too notorious and no one was willing to spend the rest of their lives there.
But surprisingly, although many people left, they were all middle and lower-level personnel, and no key core backbone personnel left.
Jiang Yi felt very relieved, as these people would be the core team for him to build his own personal power in the future.
The only ones who made him a little hesitant were the three brothers Jiang Zhongchi. Life in Western Xinjiang was too hard, and they were afraid that they would not be willing to leave the glamorous world of the Dali Imperial Capital.
Jiang Yi didn't want to force anyone, so he was prepared for his three brothers to visit him.
Moreover, Prince Duan's mansion cannot be left empty all the time, it must have an owner, so it would be good for the three brothers to stay. He did wait for it, Jiang Zhongchi came on behalf of the third brother Jiang Zhongshu and the fifth brother Jiang Zhongren.
As soon as he entered the door, he said with a bitter face: "Sixth brother, you have to allocate some manpower to me, the third brother and the fifth brother."
Jiang Yi didn't think it was strange. After all, their lives would not be easy after he left. But with him there, the royal grandfather would not really care about their lives. As long as they were willing to behave themselves, they could still be a rich man.
"Don't worry, second brother. I will leave the Bullfighting Cavalry to you. Just don't show off in the Dali Imperial Capital anymore..." Jiang Yi felt quite a bit of recognition for his second brother, who never failed to deliver at critical moments.
As for the Bull Fighting Cavalry, they were originally the personal guards of Prince Duan's Palace, so it was natural for them to stay. In addition, An Daohui would also stay.
The presence of this old man in the palace will be a great help to the brothers.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhongchi looked at Jiang Yi with contempt. If he hadn't taken into account that Jiang Yi was in a high position now, he would have slapped him in the face. Is your second brother that kind of person?
In the end, Jiang Zhongchi left contentedly, with a proud step, because this was the first time he had the "upper hand" in his relationship with Jiang Yi, and he left with Jiang Yi's imperial edict to dispatch five thousand troops.
Jiang Yi felt relieved when he saw Jiang Zhongchi leaving with a look of "a villain who has succeeded".
Fathers and sons fight together in battle, and brothers fight together. After all, the other side is the person closest to him in this world. At the critical moment, he also hopes that the brothers can unite and overcome difficulties together.
As for the 5,000 men and horses, they were there to help the three brothers move. The three brothers planned to take these men and horses to sell all their properties and farms, and then gather all their properties in the Dali Imperial Capital, and then transport them to the Western Frontier together.
But he still had some thoughts, and before leaving, he vaguely confirmed with Jiang Yi, whether this trip to the Western Frontier was a sign of a hidden dragon in the abyss or a dog that had lost its home?
After getting a satisfactory answer, he left contentedly.
"A stray dog?" Jiang Yi sneered. This was probably the opinion of the majority.
They thought that Jiang Yi had decided that he could no longer survive in the capital of Dali, so he was willing to go to the bitter cold land of Western Frontier. Little did they know that this was exactly what Jiang Yi wanted.
Who says that being far away from the political center will inevitably lead to gradual marginalization? As long as the planning is done properly, it is possible to become a powerful vassal state, or even another "King of Western Frontier".
Jiang Yi took a look at Luofu Mountain where Prince Yi's palace was located, and felt a little reluctant to leave.
This was the base she had built with great difficulty, but now she had to give it up.
Originally, what he was most worried about was the Luofu Cave Heaven hidden here, but now, this problem no longer exists, because the Luofu Cave Heaven is not here at all.
With a flip of his hand, an exquisite square seal appeared in the palm of his hand. It was the Luofu Cave Heaven Seal. After months of continuous refining by the golden little man, it was finally completely refined.
At first, Jiang Yi was very excited, as he had the chance to explore the Luofu Cave before leaving and take away all the opportunities he could.
As for what he couldn't take away, he would leave it here for now. After all, no one except him knew about the existence of Luofu Cave Heaven. And without the Luofu Cave Heaven Seal, he couldn't enter, so it was safer to stay here.
However, after a careful investigation with the help of the Luofu Cave Heaven Seal, Jiang Yi discovered that the information obtained by this body in the previous life was wrong, and Luofu Cave Heaven was not here.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. The vastness of the Manghuang Continent was boundless. Even with the Luofu Cave Heaven Seal in his hand, finding a paradise on earth would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
He always felt a little unwilling in his heart. After seeing the hidden secrets of Yinshan Mountain, he had always been coveting this paradise. But now, his wish had not been fulfilled.
"Let everything take its course."
With a sigh, Jiang Yi stopped thinking about it and started strolling around Prince Yi's palace.
Since the end of the grand court meeting yesterday, the entire Prince Yi's Mansion has been plunged into a bustle of activity. Under the leadership of the eldest aunt Jiang Ning, everyone started to move, and everything that could be packed up was packed up.
He didn't even want to leave behind some flowers and plants. Although after traveling to the western border, the Prince Yi's Palace and even the entire Luofu were still Jiang Yi's private territory, there would definitely be people who would have other ideas. Maybe one day that unreliable grandfather would give this palace to someone else.
So Jiang Ning decided to take away everything she could.
Looking at the busy people and some items that had been packed up, Jiang Yi grinned. There were indeed enough things. If they really had to take them all with them, the 100,000-strong Sun and Moon Army would probably become a bloated logistics force.
However, looking at his sister's busy and excited expression, Jiang Yi didn't say anything.
In fact, he knew in his heart that compared to himself, this elder sister wanted to leave the dangerous and dangerous capital of Dali as soon as possible, especially after experiencing the previous arranged marriage, she didn't want to stay here for a moment.
Even if I have to go to the cold and bitter western Xinjiang to be exposed to the wind and sun, I don't want to stay here and live in fear.
After walking around, Jiang Yi found that he seemed to be the only one doing nothing in the entire Prince Yi's Mansion. Everyone else was busy.
After walking around for a while, the tempting aroma of food wafted into Jiang Yi's nose. He looked up and saw that it was obviously not time for dinner yet, so why did the kitchen start to get busy?
And from a distance, there could be a burst of noisy chattering, especially the shouting of Tuo Xiaoliu, who seemed really busy.
It didn't matter anyway, so out of curiosity, Jiang Yi went straight to the kitchen.
My goodness, there were dozens of people busying there. There were a total of ten stoves, all of which were in use at this time. Pots of food after pots of food were moved to a small side room next door.
Jiang Yi was extremely curious. Who was he cooking for? He was such a big eater.
That small side room was less than a square meter at most, and couldn't accommodate many people at most. But now, large pots of various dishes were brought into the small side room, enough for dozens of people to eat. Could they all be pigs? Even a few pigs couldn't eat so much.
And it's far more than that, because the stove is still busy.
"Alas, I don't know where the prince got this pig from. It's such a big eater. I can never feed it enough..."
Tuo Xiaoliu was wearing an apron with his sleeves rolled up, revealing a wet white arm. Perhaps because he had been busy at the stove, his entire face was flushed.
"Eat it if you can. You are so picky that you don't even look at ordinary pig food. It's better than what people eat!"
Tuo Xiaoliu looked at the small side room and fanned it angrily with his hands, his eyes filled with an indescribable resentment. This was not a pig at all, it was clearly an ancestor.
However, the other party was brought back by her own prince, so no matter how reluctant she was, she had to serve him wholeheartedly, for fear that he would starve to death.
"Sister Xiaoliu, when will this end? It's almost noon and we haven't even finished breakfast for this pig..." A young cook nearby couldn't help but complain.
Tuo Xiaoliu looked up at the sky and said weakly, "Yes, I have to cook lunch for this pig soon..."
