Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chu Ning looked at the dragon crown in front of him, his heart surging!

This is something no man can refuse.

As long as he wants, he can get it!

To say I wasn't excited would be a lie.

However, he also understood that once he accepted the dragon crown, the problems and pressures he would face would be far greater than before.

The mere fact that one had gained power illegitimately could cause the State of Chu to fall apart.

If an emperor obtained the throne by illegitimate means, how could the royal family members let it go?

It's impossible for him to kill all the royal relatives, right?

If you really do that, wouldn't you become a tyrant?

By then, you will definitely become a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat you.

Looking at the dragon crown in front of him, Chu Ning suddenly turned around and reached out to stop the master who was still kowtowing, and said calmly:

"Taifu, there is no need to do this. I know how to handle this matter."

But the old tutor burst into tears, lowered his head and cried, "If Your Highness the Crown Prince does not refuse this, I will not get up."

Now that Chu Ning has taken over the dragon crown, the State of Chu will never have peace.

As the Grand Tutor, he was only concerned about the State of Chu, and this was the last thing he wanted to see.

Of course, he also understood that Chu Ning needed a way out at this moment.

And he is willing to be this step!

Seeing that the Grand Tutor was so insistent, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "I have not yet received the dragon crown, and I have no intention of becoming the emperor for the time being."

When these words were spoken, the three people present were a little surprised.

The emperor was stunned and stood there.

Chu Ning has been busy for a long time, isn’t it just for this dragon crown on his head?

Now that he has already handed it over voluntarily, why is Chu Ning like this?

Could it be that he thought wrong?

Feng Mulan opened her mouth, as if trying to persuade him.

But when she saw the emperor standing beside her, she finally curled her lips and said nothing.

But the Grand Tutor came to his senses after his initial daze and was overjoyed: "Your Highness, it's absolutely right to think so!"

"Don't worry, in this Chu State, no one can threaten your position now, and I, your Highness, will firmly support you!"

The reason he expressed his stance at this moment was simply because he was worried that Chu Ning would go back on his word.

At the same time, he was also telling Chu Ning: The throne will be yours sooner or later, so there is no need to rush.

Chu Ning certainly understood the meaning of the Grand Tutor's words and chuckled, "Grand Tutor, there is no need to be so nervous. There were just some misunderstandings between me and my father today."

Turning to look at the emperor, he asked with a smile, "Father, what do you say?"

Is this guy transgender?

Having the upper hand, he actually gave it up? This was not Chu Ning's personality.

Could it be that this guy is planning something again?

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Chu Ning with some caution and said coldly: "History books are nothing but toys in the hands of the victors!"

What it means is that you, Chu Ning, won, and whatever you say goes.

Chu Ning knew that the emperor couldn't put down his face for a while, so he was too lazy to beat around the bush and said calmly:

"After this incident, I finally understand something. I still have to control the military power in my own hands!"

"I suggest that from now on, the Imperial Guards be led by the Crown Prince's Consort Feng Mulan. What do you think, Father?"

Feng Mulan was overjoyed and was about to express her gratitude, but then she thought of something and turned to look at the emperor.

This matter still needs the emperor's consent.

The Emperor of Chu's face turned pale in an instant.

He knew that Chu Ning was using this incident to weaken his power.

Once the imperial guards were handed over to Feng Mulan, it would be equivalent to handing over the last military power in his hands.

From now on, he can only follow Chu Ning's orders.

Although he was unwilling, he knew that he had no choice at the moment.

Moreover, at the moment of losing just now, he was already disheartened, knowing that he would never be able to defeat Chu Ning in his lifetime.

"The Imperial Guards have disappointed me today. It would be better to hand them over to the Crown Prince's concubine to lead them."

The emperor laughed at himself, reached out and took out a purple-gold tiger talisman from his bosom, and handed it to Feng Mulan:

"This is a tiger talisman. The Imperial Guard only recognizes tiger talismans and not people. Whoever obtains this tiger talisman can mobilize the Imperial Guard!"

Feng Mulan was overjoyed, and immediately knelt on the ground, took the tiger talisman with a respectful look, and said solemnly:

"Father, please rest assured. I will never let you down!"

With this tiger talisman, she will have the final say in the palace from now on, and the safety of her and Shen Wanying will not be controlled by the emperor.

From now on, Chu Ning won’t have to worry about their safety when he is away from home!

This completely freed Chu Ning from any worries!

Although Chu Ning did not take over the dragon hat and ascend the throne to become emperor, he took control of the imperial guards and the palace, which had completely weakened the emperor's power.

The current emperor only has the right to review memorials to the emperor.

While thinking, Chu Ning said calmly: "Father has been busy with state affairs for many years and is very tired. I want you to rest for a while."

"While my son is in Kyoto, all memorials will be sent to the East Palace. I will share the burden for you."

Not only did they take away the military power of the imperial guards, they also weakened his power to review memorials. This was an attempt to completely sideline the emperor!

The King of Chu was not surprised by this. He looked at the dragon crown in his hand and smiled contemptuously: "You might as well just wear the dragon crown instead of doing this."

Not only does he not have military power, he doesn't even have the right to review memorials to the emperor. How can he cope with this?

From now on, when he goes to court, all officials will report domestic affairs to him. Will he handle them or not?

Could this be Chu Ning's revenge, meant to embarrass him?

But he didn't understand. If Chu Ning really wanted to make him miserable, there were other ways to do it. There was no need to use this method.

After all, reviewing memorials is the emperor's most basic power. It is obviously unreasonable for Chu Ning to deprive him of even this power.

But Chu Ning looked very wise and said calmly: "Now is not the time for my son to ascend the throne."

He looked towards the north, a trace of reminiscence flashed across his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I will review the memorials and get used to it for a while."

"By the way, Di Wenyao has managed Bingzhou well in recent years. I plan to transfer him back and promote him to the position of Right Prime Minister."

"It just so happens that Prime Minister Yang Wende is not in the court, so you can let Di Wenyao assist me in handling government affairs."

Since we want to seize power from the emperor, we naturally need someone to help us.

Now that Jia Yu and Liu Shouren are both away from the court, and Di Wenyao's political ability is the strongest among everyone, it is natural to transfer Di Wenyao back to help.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he planned to replace all officials in the court who supported the emperor!

A winner should act like a winner.

He would not give the emperor any chance to turn the tables, and all the power that should be in his hands must be in his hands.

The emperor was helpless and shook his head, saying, "Since you want to handle government affairs personally, then you can do it, but you have to leave this Yangxin Palace to me."

This is his last dignity as emperor!

Even if he is a puppet, he must maintain his dignity.

Chu Ning nodded slightly and said calmly: "Father can of course continue to live in the Yangxin Palace, but you must hand over the shadow guards in your hands!"

"you……"

The emperor's face changed slightly. This was his last trump card and he was very reluctant.

But when he saw Chu Ning's cold face, he knew that if he refused at this moment, the consequences would be unbearable for him.

"Okay, I will let Zhao Ming give you the list of all the shadow guards!"

The emperor sighed and looked decadent, as if he had aged by ten years.

But Chu Ning did not give up. Instead, he took a step forward and his tone became extremely cold:

"Father, let me ask you one last time. Was it really not you who sent the assassin who killed Chu Xiao?"
