Chapter 173: Become an independent country?
Dongfang Wang's face looked extremely ugly. Ning Yi's words made him stop in his rage and he couldn't say a word.
He didn't know what to say, and naturally he didn't want his sister to suffer such a fate.
"Humph, even if she, a bitch, is executed, it's better than the entire Dongfang family losing face."
Dongfang Wang now started to curse Dongfang Qing.
How could she have the face to live after doing such a thing? What's more, she was having an affair with the prince, and he was her junior.
Ning Yi rolled his eyes: "Dongfang Wang, your Dongfang family has a strong reputation."
"But if Qing'er gets into trouble and is executed by the old emperor, what will become of your Dongfang family?"
"Let alone the leader of the noble family, the old emperor's wrath can burn the entire Dong family to ashes, not to mention the two things that this prince has control over."
Dongfang Wang was silent. Even though he hated the bastard Sixth Prince in front of him, he also felt that Dongfang Qing had brought shame to the Dongfang family.
But his life and the Dongfang family cannot be ruined by these two shameless dogs.
He also believed that if Emperor Wu knew about their scandal, even if the guy in front of him was cut into pieces, the Dongfang family would suffer an even worse fate. Maybe even their ancestral graves would be dug up.
"What do you want?" Dongfang Wang asked with a grim face.
Ning Yi smiled and said, "My Lord, this prince is now on the same side as your Dongfang family, isn't that right?"
"If anything happens to your Dongfang family, this prince will also be in trouble."
"Similarly, if this prince were to meet with misfortune, your Dongfang family would also be destroyed."
"Besides, if I ascend the throne, won't you still be the emperor's uncle?"
"I will never be such a disgusting uncle of the emperor." Dongfang Wang turned his head away angrily, but his tone was much better.
He now finally understood why the smiling Sixth Prince in front of him said that he would continue to be the emperor's uncle after he ascended the throne.
He thought he was the emperor's uncle, but that was only in name only, not by blood at all. He would never believe such nonsense.
But now it seems that Wu Lingyun actually wants Dongfang Qing to continue to be his woman.
Ning Yi didn't care about Dongfang Wang who was angry now. He knew that no matter who it was, the proud woman of the entire family would be very angry if something like this happened.
But the interests of the family and his own life are the most important.
"But Uncle King." Ning Yi said, "Whether you like it or not, this prince will call you Uncle King from now on, and even now. I even guarantee that if I ascend the throne, I will allow the Dongfang family to split the land and become king."
"Huh?" Dongfang Wang looked at Ning Yi in shock: "Become king?"
"That's right." Ning Yi said seriously, "Cousin, are you just thinking about joining an aristocratic family in the Great Wu Kingdom?"
"Only hanging around this kind of wealthy family? Have you ever heard of any aristocratic family that has truly lasted for a thousand years?"
"If the Dongfang family really wants to last for a thousand years, they can only split the land and become kings. And they won't be like those vassal kings, but directly establish their own country."
This kind of thing is almost impossible to happen, let alone him, a person of an outsider surname. Even the vassal kings of the royal family could not split the land and establish their own country. They were only the princes of the Dawu Kingdom in name.
But the attraction was too great.
Now Dongfang Wang is just the king of Qizhou, and no one dares to provoke him.
However, if the royal family wants to deal with them, there are still ways to do it. For example, the Sixth Prince now has something on their side and can deal with him at any time.
But if you want to be crowned king, who would dare to do so casually?
Then he would become the real emperor.
But Dongfang Wang was no fool. He suppressed his ambition and said calmly, "How can I trust you?"
With his words, Ning Yi smiled secretly in his heart. The old man was now beginning to be moved.
After pouring the wine and clinking glasses, Ning Yi said, "This is also what I promised Qing'er."
"Haha." Dongfang Wang sneered: "Qing'er, that silly girl is stupid, but I am not stupid."
"Since ancient times, we have heard of empress dowagers who served two dynasties and ministers who served three dynasties, but we have never heard of empresses who served two dynasties."
Ning Yi already understood that Dongfang Wang just wanted a guarantee from him now.
"No need for a queen. Qing'er will be the queen mother after this prince ascends the throne."
"And this prince promises that, in addition to her as the Queen Mother, I will marry the daughter of the Dongfang family as my Imperial Consort after I ascend the throne. Is this enough?"
While Dongfang Wang was lost in thought, Ning Yi leaned closer and whispered, "I don't want to be told of my relationship with the Queen Mother after ascending the throne. If that happens, all the princes in the world will rebel, won't they?"
Dongfang Wang took a deep look at the Sixth Prince, whose eyes were burning with rage. After a moment of thought, he nodded slightly, "That's right."
As long as he sits on the throne, he can make other mistakes, but if his relationship with the Queen Mother is exposed.
I believe he will become infamous and the entire Dawu Kingdom will curse him.
Moreover, the entire group of vassal kings will explode collectively, and they will immediately rebel and fight against the tyrant.
Filial piety is very important in the Dawu Kingdom. At least in name, fathers should be kind and sons should be filial.
The Sixth Prince actually cheated on his father and had an affair with the Queen. No one would tolerate this.
Dongfang Wang immediately said, "But I have two conditions."
"You say." Ning Yi smiled. As long as Dongfang Wang was willing to put forward conditions, everything else would be easy to discuss.
Dongfang Wang immediately said, "First, I will choose the place where I will establish my country."
"No problem." Ning Yi agreed on the spot. "Moreover, in order to help the prince and to reassure the country, after I ascend the throne, I will first defeat a neighboring country and hand it over to the prince. Then the prince will only need to take the Dongfang family to be king. This will give an explanation to the whole world."
This is fine, Dongfang Wang nodded immediately. After all, if they want to establish an independent country, it is impossible to do so within the territory of Dawu.
Don't be fooled by what the Sixth Prince says now. He will definitely not agree when the time comes. No emperor in any dynasty will allow the existence of a country within a country.
Dongfang looked at Zhou Dao and felt very satisfied when he saw Ning Yi thinking this way.
"The second one." Dongfang Wang also whispered: "This old man needs Qing'er to get pregnant again before the old emperor passes away."
"Huh?" Ning Yi was incredulous: "Uncle, why is this happening?"
Dongfang Wang finally smiled, but it was just a superficial smile. He said calmly, "If Qing'er gets pregnant, my Dongfang family will be truly tied to the Sixth Prince."
"Otherwise, I don't believe you."
Ning Yi looked at the old guy leisurely. What a old fox, what a shameless thing.
Isn't he just afraid that once he ascends the throne, he will immediately deny his responsibility?
This is what Ning Yi originally thought. For him, no matter whether it was Dongfang Qing or the Dongfang family, no matter how many promises they made, once he ascended the throne, they could go back on their word at any time.
The old man thought that just because Dongfang Qing was pregnant, he could tie this prince up?
It seems that you know nothing about this prince.
Ning Yi nodded seriously and said, "Okay, this prince agrees to your request, but the Dongfang family must fully support this prince's ascension to the throne."
