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

"You want Shen Zhengqing to join the army?"

Chu Ning looked at Shen Wanying with disbelief on his face. "You have to think clearly. If you join the army, you may end up on the battlefield."

Although it seems that there are not many wars in the State of Chu today, who can guarantee that there will not be wars in the future?

If Shen Zhengqing joins the army at this time, and with the time for training and cultivation, he may be able to catch up with the war to unify the world in the future.

But it was Shen Wanying who proposed this, and he couldn't bear to refuse at this time. He could only let Shen Wanying think it over clearly herself.

But Shen Wanying sighed and said, "I have tried to persuade him about this matter, but he was determined. I had no choice but to ask His Highness for help."

It turned out to be Shen Zhengqing's own idea.

If that was the case, then his guilt would be gone.

He will respect everyone's choice!

And we have to give Shen Wanying face.

"Okay, I will arrange for someone to deliver the cultivation resources to him."

Chu Ning said sternly: "I will arrange accommodation for him in the city, and also let him join the city defense camp, and first serve as a centurion in the city defense camp."

"If he can make achievements in the future, I will promote him again."

After all, they are his woman's relatives, so arranging some unimportant positions for them is just to appease Shen Wanying.

Of course, Shen Zhengqing couldn't really become a soldier, so he would first be a centurion.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Shen Wanying was overjoyed and took the initiative to bow.

She originally thought that Chu Ning would at most let Shen Zhengqing join the army, but she didn't expect that he would become a centurion. This was a pleasant surprise.

In this way, Shen Zhengqing can gain a foothold in the city, and she won't have to worry too much about him not being able to survive in the city in the future.

"Okay, there's no need to be so polite between you and me."

Chu Ning helped Shen Wanying up and said sternly, "The bodies of the Shen family have been buried. I will take you there for the burial tomorrow."

Shen Wanying was deeply moved.

He remembered everything about her.

Two lines of tears instantly soaked her eyes, and she didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Chu Ning wiped her gently and comforted her softly: "This matter has a great impact on you. I will stay with you tonight."

After saying that, he pulled Shen Wanying towards the bathroom.

Of course, he had no ulterior motives, he just simply wanted to spend more time with Shen Wanying.

The next day, Chu Ning personally took Shen Wanying to the outside of the city to bury the murdered descendants of the previous dynasty's royal family.

Old Madam Shen and Shen Zhengqing also participated.

Of course, Old Madam Shen also expressed her gratitude for Shen Zhengqing's arrangement.

Shen Zhengqing even knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Ning to express his gratitude.

However, Chu Ning was free now, but Emperor Chu was in trouble.

In the court, the ministers were arguing endlessly.

Inside the Golden Palace, the ministers were arguing and accusing each other for the position of Zongzheng, and the three most intense ones among them were the three princes.

The Fifteenth Prince was filled with anger, and he shouted to the ministers, "My Lords, as the Fifteenth Prince, I am older than my two younger brothers, so the position of Zongzheng should belong to me!"

He knew that he had no chance of becoming the emperor, so he could only fight for more rights.

If he becomes the head of the imperial clan and is in charge of the royal family, even if Chu Ning becomes the emperor in the future, he will have to respect him.

He will never back down on this matter.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers who were usually on good terms with the Fifteenth Prince stood up and echoed him loudly.

"What the Fifteenth Prince said makes sense. You are the oldest among them. This position of Zongzheng should belong to you!"

"Yes, that's right. Your Majesty, please make a decision on this matter immediately!"

"The position of Zongzheng is of great importance. This matter cannot be delayed. Your Majesty needs to decide on the candidate as soon as possible."

This group of people were talking excitedly, and the Sixteenth Prince immediately became annoyed.

"enough!"

With a loud shout, the Sixteenth Prince stepped out of the line and said coldly, "What benefits did you receive from Brother Fifteen that you would speak for him everywhere?"

"Can the position of Zongzheng be held just by age? If an incompetent person becomes Zongzheng, the entire royal family will lose face in the future."

In front of everyone, he blatantly mocked the Fifteenth Prince as incompetent, and all the ministers were speechless!

The fifteenth prince was furious when he heard this. He stared at the sixteenth prince and shouted angrily, "Chu Bin, who do you say is incompetent?"

In a fit of rage, he actually called the Sixteenth Prince by his name.

The Sixteenth Prince sneered: "Look, you can't even tolerate a word, yet you dare to compete for the position of Zongzheng?"

"you……"

The Fifteenth Prince realized that he had been tricked and his face changed drastically: "You are deceiving me!"

The Sixteenth Prince looked indifferent: "You have always been impulsive, why should I deceive you?"

"Please don't play these tricks in front of the emperor. It's not like the emperor doesn't know what kind of person you are."

The verbal confrontation between the two made the emperor on the dragon throne rub his temples involuntarily, looking like he had a headache.

At this moment, the seventeenth prince Chu Yun stepped forward and pretended to be a peacemaker to smooth things over:

"My two brothers, please stop arguing. The final decision on this matter still needs to be made by our father. Why don't you listen to what he has to say?"

Of course he didn't want these two to become the chief patriarchs.

Because he also wants to be in power.

Since he has no chance of becoming emperor, he should just grab more power to ensure that he can have a place in the court in the future.

Besides, who can guarantee that Chu Ning will be able to ascend the throne and become emperor?

If something happens to Chu Ning, whoever controls the royal family will have the possibility of becoming the emperor.

Naturally, he would not give up such an important position.

As soon as these words came out, the fifteenth and sixteenth princes turned their heads, glared at him, and said in unison:

"Shut up!"

The two men relied on their status and did not take Chu Yun seriously at all.

After all, Chu Yun is the youngest now, and they certainly don’t want the position of Zongzheng to fall into this person’s hands.

How could Chu Yun let these two people get what they wanted? He sneered and said, "Are you two brothers trying to settle this matter while the crown prince is away?"

"What a pity! Without the Crown Prince's consent, no one can make the decision."

He turned to look at the Emperor Chu on the throne and asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Father, don't you think so?"

The corner of Emperor Chu's mouth twitched, and he cursed Chu Yun in his heart.

Some things are enough to just know in your heart, why speak them out?

The King of Chu snorted coldly: "You three don't need to fight. The Crown Prince and I have already discussed and summoned all the royal relatives who have the potential to become the head of the clan to come to the capital."

After a pause, he looked at the three people with a playful look and sneered, "Don't the three of you want to become Zongzheng?"

"Okay, then let's see what means you have to snatch the position of Zongzheng from those people."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you want to become a Zongzheng, you need to go through many tests. The final result will be decided by me and the Crown Prince!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three princes became as ugly as they could be.

Those royal relatives have more or less some strength, and have been operating for many years, and have supporters in the court.

It is very difficult to obtain the position of Zong Zheng from the other party!

At this moment, they finally understood why the emperor did not speak at first.

It turned out that he was waiting for them on purpose.

After the King of Chu finished speaking, he stood up and waved his hand, saying, "This matter is settled. The Ministry of Rites will prepare for the reception next."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Of course, he still cursed Chu Ning in his heart.

He has now become Chu Ning's scapegoat, and he is the one who announces all the offending things.

However, with so many people coming this time, he wants to see how Chu Ning will deal with it!
