King Anding's toughness was beyond everyone's expectations.

No one expected that there would be someone in Chu State who dared to go against Crown Prince Chu Ning.

In the State of Chu, everyone knew about the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and the matter of descendants of the previous royal family was obviously proposed by the Crown Princess.

If you oppose this matter at this moment, you will be at odds with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

For a moment, the scene was extremely quiet.

But at this moment, Chu Ning stared at Chu Jing calmly and said slowly: "So, King Anding disagrees with this?"

Chu Jing said proudly: "It's not that I don't agree, but your Majesty and all the princes don't agree!"

"Your Highness, if you insist on doing something that so many people oppose, you will be making an enemy of everyone!"

Once these words were spoken, Chu Ning was put on the opposite side of everyone.

But at this moment, Deng Hongwen couldn't help it, so he took the initiative to step forward and said in a deep voice: "What does Prince Anding mean by this?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has fought many battles for the court over the past four years, and I don't know how many life-and-death crises he has experienced!"

"Now, the prince is only telling your majesty what he thinks of the people of the previous royal family, but you are forcing him so hard."

"Could it be that you think that all the troops outside the capital are yours, and you want to hold His Majesty and the princes hostage and make them obey your orders?"

Chu Jing was being aggressive, how could Deng Hongwen allow him to be so arrogant?

Seeing that Chu Ning seemed to have no solution, he had to stand up and refute.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Jianye also stood up and refuted: "Prince Anding, most of the descendants of the previous royal family were killed, and the ones left now are not powerful enough, otherwise your majesty would not treat the Crown Princess and her mother well."

"Now there are just a few more people. Why do you have to hold on to it and even force the princes and the tutor to express their opinions?"

Even Lu Xiuwen, who now locks his eyes every day, said in a cold voice: "Prince Anding has just arrived in the capital, and he still doesn't understand many things. This matter is not as complicated as you think."

These three people are now high-ranking officials in the court. When they speak, their momentum is no less than that of Prince Anding.

Although the Grand Tutor and the three princes have expressed their opinions, Prince Anding is, after all, just one person.

Sitting on the dragon throne, when Emperor Chu saw this situation, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to deal with this matter as quickly as possible and, according to King Anding's wishes, expel the descendants of the previous dynasty from the State of Chu.

But judging from Chu Ning's words now, this matter might not be that simple.

One careless move may even lead to a fight between the two sides.

Of course he also wanted to take back the power from Chu Ning, but now was not the time.

Thinking of this, the emperor could not help but speak: "Okay, okay, my dear ministers are all thinking about me, this matter is not urgent, let's put it aside for now."

After saying this, the emperor stood up and waved his hand: "I am tired, let's leave the court!"

But when Prince Anding heard this, his eyes turned cold, a hint of coldness flashed across his face, and he interrupted the emperor's steps with a loud voice:

"His Majesty!"

In the surprised eyes of the King of Chu, King Anding said coldly: "Don't forget why Han Xing became Qin's internal accomplice!"

"These people from the previous dynasty are all trouble. If they are kept, it will only make Di Wenyao and others worry."

"We must take precautions against the lessons of the past. Your Majesty, please order the execution of all the descendants of the previous royal family except the Crown Princess and her mother!"

These words shocked everyone and made the Taifu's face change drastically.

To speak in this way would completely offend the prince.

Today it was clearly the prince who took the initiative to offer these people a chance to live, but King Anding insisted on killing them.

Once the two sides compete, it will definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers.

Now that Wei and Han were in a decisive battle, it should have been a time for them to reap the benefits, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen in the country.

If internal strife occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, the Grand Tutor took the initiative to persuade Chu Ning without waiting for him to speak: "Prince Anding, this is too much!"

"If we kill the descendants of the previous dynasty's royal family, our dynasty's reputation will be ruined and we will even be laughed at by the world."

"Our dynasty has always emphasized filial piety and governed the world with benevolence and filial piety. If we cannot tolerate the descendants of the previous dynasty's royal family, wouldn't we be losing trust with the people of the world?"

Due to the power of King Anding, although he had surrendered just now, he could not watch King Anding and the prince quarreling now.

The emperor cannot intervene in this matter, so let him, the tutor, be the bad guy.

But the King of Anding sneered when he heard this: "Grandmaster, His Majesty just said that he doesn't want to keep these people. What, do you want to disobey his order?"

"Humph, it seems that the Crown Prince disobeyed the Emperor's order yesterday, and you all don't take His Majesty's words seriously!"

He turned to look at the emperor, bowed, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I think the court should be reorganized, so that some people don't think that he has the final say in the court!"

"What's worse, they even dared to disobey His Majesty's orders. How audacious!"

Although it was not stated explicitly, Chu Ning's disobedience to the emperor's order yesterday was mentioned at the beginning.

This is clearly aimed at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked up at the emperor and said calmly: "Father, Prince Anding is right!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

What does the prince mean by this?

You actually agree with King Anding’s statement?

If the imperial court is to be rectified, wouldn't many officials have to be taken down?

Not to mention the ministers, even the King of Chu stared at Chu Ning in surprise and asked, "What do you mean, Prince?"

Chu Ning did not look at the emperor either, but stared at Prince Anding, sneering: "Prince Anding is right, some people regard this court as their own, and whatever he says is the truth!"

"I even completely forgot that you, the emperor, are the master of the court!"

"How can we keep such a rebellious person?"

The two men stared at each other, with cold light flashing in their eyes. A hint of murderous intent rose from both of them, and they stared at each other without giving in.

At this moment, they only have each other in their eyes!

They all knew that if they wanted to gain power in the court, they had to defeat the other party.

When the emperor saw this situation, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Although he wanted to regain power, he didn't want to escalate the situation. Once Chu Ning and King Anding fell out, it would definitely be a fierce battle.

By then, the State of Chu would probably fall apart.

Thinking of this, the emperor took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"enough!"

The emperor roared, "I have already said that we will consider this matter in the long run and will not deal with it for the time being!"

"As for the descendants of the previous royal family, let them come to Kyoto City first, and then we'll talk about the results!"

"Retreat!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for anyone to speak.

The ministers reacted and bowed, "Farewell, Your Majesty!"

The emperor left, but the officials present did not dare to move.

Because, in the middle of the hall, Chu Ning and King Anding were still looking at each other.

Chu Ning said indifferently, "Does Prince Anding think that all the troops in Kyoto are yours, so he wants to control the court?"

This bland sentence instantly ignited the conflict between the two parties.

Chu Ning would not keep a hostile person forever.

If it can be solved, it should be solved as soon as possible!
