Building a big ship doesn't require much money, it mainly consumes iron and wood. It just so happened that after the local emperor found his daughter, he gave the Tiansheng Dynasty three iron mines.

"Leave the shipbuilding to me, and as for the consumables used in the ship, just report to the Nine Gates Governor's Office as much as you need."

Emperor Chenyu bowed and said, "I obey your command."

As night falls, the great tyrant stays in Yihe Palace tonight.

At this time, the Second Prince's Mansion.

The news that Concubine De had recovered from her illness soon reached the Second Prince's mansion.

The second prince was sitting in the hall reading the intelligence. "Great, God is helping me! This Concubine De is probably possessed by evil spirits. She will be fine once Taoist Master Baiyun enters the palace. However, according to the news, it seems that my father and his men are going to Lingdao."

The Nine Gates Admiral chuckled, "Second Prince, our chance has come."

"Yes, after years of waiting, I finally got a chance to rebel. When my father, together with Consort De and others, leave the Tiansheng Dynasty, it will be the best time for me to rebel. I have been waiting for this day for three full years!"

In just three years, his younger sister was already three years old.

However, he holds a great secret.

He is the only one in the world who can hear the voice of the royal sister. He firmly believes that he is the chosen one and the most special one among all the princes.

With this good fortune, he must realize his ambitions.

"Uncle, this time, it all depends on you."

That's right.

The Nine-Gate Admiral is his uncle.

His mother was a talented lady named Yang in the palace. She was of a lower rank and was not among the four concubines and seven concubines. She was timid and unpopular.

The reason why she was able to conceive a dragon seed was because Concubine Xian caught a cold during those days when she was in the emperor's bedroom, so she had no choice but to let Lady Yang take over.

In the harem, it is very common for concubines to form cliques and factions, and everyone wants to cultivate their own people.

Yang Cainu was very pregnant, and during that one time of serving the emperor in bed, she became pregnant with a dragon seed.

Unlike Concubine Xian, her belly has remained still for all these years.

No one in the court knew about the relationship between Yang Cainv and the Nine Gates Admiral.

Yang Cainv never left the palace and lived with her grandmother in a villa since she was a child. She rarely came into contact with her brothers in the clan.

She was a child who was sent to the countryside. Later, when the palace selected talents, Yang was recalled.

It can be said that there is no brother-sister relationship between the Nine-Gates Admiral and Yang Cainv.

The reason why the Nine Gates Admiral approached the Second Prince was simply because he wanted to use the Second Prince's relationship to climb up the ladder.

The Second Prince was already short of people under his command, and coupled with his relationship with the Nine Gates Admiral, the two of them hit it off and worked together to achieve great things.

The Nine Gates Admiral said, "Second Prince, the Emperor has assigned the Sixth Prince the task of shipbuilding. The Sixth Prince is always cautious. If he gets involved in shipbuilding, he might find out that we are recruiting soldiers and secretly building weapons."

"General An Guo is one of ours. In the past three years, we have been working behind the scenes to make and sell weapons, and we have earned a lot of money. These things are the most important money for us to do big things."

Recruiting soldiers and managing relationships, which one doesn't cost money?

But he did not want to start a rebellion. After all, that was a serious crime of treason. He just wanted to gather his strength in secret and train his own people.

Now that his father was about to leave the Tiansheng Dynasty again, he had already made a thorough plan. He was ready to send elite troops to ambush his father as soon as he left, and then forge a false edict of succession, so that he could ascend to the throne legitimately.

Then, replace all the guards with your own people.

To be on the safe side, he still had to secretly have his own troops to prevent some ministers in the court from rebelling.

He felt that he was very smart because he achieved his goal at the lowest cost.

The Nine Gates Commander: "So, Second Prince, before the Emperor leaves the Tiansheng Dynasty, we must be cautious at every step."

"Go and make the accounts of iron ore and weapons materials more serious. Don't let Lao Liu find out the clues."

"yes."

…

A month later, Di Chenyu entered the imperial study room with a consumables report, "Father, I think there is something wrong with this matter."

The Great Tyrant has read the memorial and found that the problems pointed out by Emperor Chenyu have already been reported to the Ministry of War.

The Tyrant frowned, "What has your second brother been doing recently?"

"I just came back from abroad a while ago. Apart from attending court as usual, I have not left the palace."

"The second prince is a quiet one." The great tyrant put down the memorial. In his impression, the second prince had always been taciturn and very close to the fourth prince. It was just that the fourth prince had gone out to study and had not returned for quite a while.

"I will personally investigate this matter."

I hope the second child can always be so law-abiding.

If you plot something that you shouldn't plot, haha.

Emperor Chenyu knew that his father was always cautious and strict when it came to matters concerning his second elder brother.

"Go, call the third brother in. I have something to say to him."

When the third prince came in, the tyrant saw a bright light on his head.

Tyrant: ???

Abao, who was lying on the small couch, just woke up.

The little girl sat up straight.

【Where did this monk come from? 】

The Third Prince turned his back to A-Bao, turned his head towards her, chuckled, and waved his hand, "Good afternoon, Imperial sister."

Po was drinking water from a chubby bottle when he burst out laughing.

She was nearly three and a half years old, and her teeth had all grown. She laughed so hard that she fell on the couch, "Third brother, why are you bald?"

The Tyrant also looked at Di Li with a sullen face, "Old Third, what are you doing?"

"I heard that Father is planning to visit Ling Island soon?"

Tyrant: ...

Is it for fun?

It should be said that he went to fulfill his vow and save Concubine De's life.

"Father, after you leave, who do you plan to let govern the country?"

Tyrant: "I summoned you here today because I wanted to talk to you about this."

He wanted to make arrangements in advance so that the third child could be mentally prepared.

"Oh, Father wants me to be the governor of the country again?"

A look of reluctance.

Di Li's face looked as painful as if he was constipated. Oh my God, someone come to save him. He doesn't want to be a censor, he doesn't want to be a censor!

"What do you mean again?"

"Last time when Father went to Lingnan, didn't he let me supervise the country?"

"Yes, this time when I go out, you will still be in charge of the country."

"I don't want to be in prison."

Tyrant: "It's not something you want to do or not."

Although the third brother is a bit lazy and a bit salty, he is still capable of governing the country.

"Third brother, you are in charge of the country. I am very confident in you."

"Father, have you ever seen a bald governor?"

The tyrant couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows, "You didn't make yourself bald just because you didn't want to control the country, did you?"

The third prince chuckled, "Yes, yes, yes."

Tyrant: ???

Why is the gap between people so big?

He was very eager to let the third son be the regent, but the third son would rather be a monk than be a regent.

The second brother, on the other hand, tried his best to get this position.
