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

"Your Highness, will summoning so many people to the capital cause unrest?"

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Di Wenyao, the left prime minister, was a little worried and explained carefully: "Now there are a series of incidents in our dynasty, and several princes have died. This will make the royal family panic."

"Gathering them all together at this moment, I'm afraid they will be worried."

If you count carefully, one prince and one duke have died during this period.

If the old King Qin who gave up his power is included, it means that three princes have been deposed.

Under such circumstances, how could other royal relatives dare to come to Kyoto?

Even the King of Chu frowned and said thoughtfully: "Although the position of Zongzheng is of great importance, there is no need to make such a big fuss about it."

Although I don’t know what Chu Ning is going to do, I always feel something is wrong.

It's just a position, why make such a big deal about it?

If something happens again, it will not be a good thing for the State of Chu.

But Chu Ning said calmly: "Father, don't worry. I will be responsible for all the consequences."

"Father, you only need to issue an imperial decree. The rest is up to you, your son."

Today, he is trying to threaten the emperor in order to control the princes.

He must have a plan for summoning so many royal relatives to Kyoto!

But this matter cannot be discussed at the moment.

Emperor Chu looked at Chu Ning's firm attitude and fell silent.

He knew he had no right to refuse.

But Chu Ning was too much. He wanted to do something but didn't even tell him the reason.

But he just had to disobey!

After all, the four ministers present were all Chu Ning's men and would not speak for him.

After a moment's silence, the emperor reluctantly nodded and agreed: "It is not difficult to issue this imperial decree, but you must think clearly about the consequences."

"The Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom have been fighting fiercely for more than a month. If they decide the winner, they will take the opportunity to attack Liuye City, and our dynasty will have problems again..."

"Father!"

Chu Ning interrupted the King of Chu before he could finish, saying, "It will probably take more than a day or two for the Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom to decide the winner."

The emperor's mind was moved: "Is there any news from the front line?"

Now that the emperor no longer has his shadow guards, he has no way of learning news from the outside world and has no idea of the battle situation on the front line.

Judging from what Chu Ning said, it seems that the situation on the front line is tense!

Chu Ning nodded slightly and smiled: "Yes, the Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom fought very fiercely."

"In the Han Dynasty, there was a champion named Huo Quji, who destroyed 30,000 main forces of the Wei Kingdom in one battle!"

"But the Wei Kingdom was no less powerful. The fierce general Zhang Liao attacked the Han army camp at night, catching the Han army off guard and beheading more than 30,000 people."

"Now the two sides are still at a stalemate, but there are fierce battles every day, with countless casualties."

"Judging from the current situation, it will be difficult for them to determine the winner."

"The other dynasties were naturally happy to see this happen, and they all stood by and watched, waiting for the two dynasties to continue fighting fiercely, consuming national strength and soldiers."

"According to the news from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Han and Wei kingdoms have already started recruiting soldiers."

"While the two dynasties are fighting fiercely, I want to properly handle domestic affairs."

This explanation made the Emperor Chu's mouth twitch.

This kid is so lucky to have come across such a good opportunity.

While the Han and Wei were fighting fiercely and other dynasties stood by and watched, Chu Ning took the opportunity to deal with domestic affairs.

Why didn't he encounter such a good opportunity when he was emperor?

Although he felt a little jealous, the emperor nodded and smiled, "Since the Han and Wei are fighting so fiercely, there is no need to worry too much about the situation on the front line."

"I will write the imperial edict now!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around, walked to the desk, picked up a pen and quickly wrote an imperial edict.

Chu Ning stepped forward to take the imperial edict and took a look at it, then nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you, father!"

He turned around and handed the imperial edict to Deng Hongwen, saying sternly, "Sir Deng, there will definitely be many royal relatives coming to Kyoto City in the future. You, the Ministry of Rites, must prepare for their reception."

"Also, the royal family members have always been overbearing. When you enter the city, you need to explain to them and ask them to be more restrained."

"If anyone falls into my hands, I will not show them mercy."

"Yes!" Deng Hongwen took the imperial edict and bowed solemnly.

"Okay, if there is nothing else to do, let all officials discuss the selection of Zongzheng in the morning court tomorrow."

Chu Ning then made arrangements: "I will not attend the morning court tomorrow. Please ask Father to preside over it."

The emperor was stunned: "Do you have something important to do tomorrow?"

Chu Ning sighed: "This time, the descendants of the previous dynasty's royal family were killed and only Shen Zhengqing was left. The Crown Princess is in a depressed mood, and I want to accompany her."

This reason left the emperor speechless.

This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. He just didn't expect Chu Ning to use this as an excuse not to attend the court.

But it’s good this way, he can go to court again!

The emperor patted Chu Ning on the shoulder and said, "Well, the Crown Princess is kind-hearted. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept this for a while. You should comfort her."

Chu Ning bowed and said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

The other four also bowed and left.

The emperor looked at Chu Ning's departing back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Although he didn't know why Chu Ning gathered so many royal relatives, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and always felt that Chu Ning was planning something this time.

"What on earth is he going to do?"

But then, the King of Chu shook his head again, revealing a hint of amusement: "Stir it up, keep stirring it up, and see how you end up in the end."

He was no longer able to stop anything and could only wait for Chu Ning to stir things up on his own.

At this moment, Chu Ning left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and returned to the East Palace, and went to find Shen Wanying first.

Inside the palace.

Xiaoqing was comforting Shen Wanying when she suddenly heard the palace door open and Chu Ning walked in quickly.

Xiaoqing bowed and was about to speak, but Chu Ning waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

The palace door closed, and only Chu Ning and Shen Wanying were left in the hall, staring at each other.

"This time I didn't think it through."

Chu Ning stepped forward and took Shen Wanying's hand, saying apologetically, "If we could send more people to protect them, perhaps the situation wouldn't be like it is now."

Although Shen Wanying was filled with grief and indignation, she leaned on Chu Ning's shoulder and whispered:

"Chu Yang has a deliberate plan that is hard to guard against. Your Highness is not to blame for this."

After all, no one knew that Chu Yang would actually set his sights on the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Fortunately, Shen Zhengqing was able to stay this time, which was a blessing in disguise.

Thinking of Shen Zhengqing, Shen Wanying suddenly let go of Chu Ning and said seriously, "Your Highness has come at the right time. I have something to ask of you."

Chu Ning was a little surprised: "Why would you and I ask for something?"

But Shen Wanying shook her head and said in a deep voice: "This matter may embarrass Your Highness."

"Now Shen Zhengqing is the only one left in the Shen family, and after this incident, he has seen some things clearly."

"I would like to ask you to give him some training resources and arrange for him to train in the army."
