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

"How dare you speak to His Royal Highness like that!"

In front of Hanguang Temple.

Seeing these princes and dukes making rude remarks one after another, Zhao Yu couldn't help but stand up and refute:

"If His Royal Highness wanted to attack someone, why would he do it in public?"

"And if they really want to take action, why would they only target King Yan?"

These two sentences made everyone present look solemn.

Yes, with Chu Ning's personality, if he really wants to take action, he will definitely deal with them as well. It is impossible for him to target only King Yan.

Could it be that someone is trying to bring this matter to Chu Ning's attention and make them enemies of Chu Ning?

If this is true, then they will become pawns of the other side and be used by the other side.

For a moment, all the princes and dukes were terrified.

Who is that other party? How dare he use them to attack Chu Ning?

What courage does it take!

But not all princes think this way.

King Wu sneered: "Zhao Yu, do you have the right to speak here?"

Zhao Yu's face changed slightly, and he was about to explain, but Chu Ning stopped him with his hand and said calmly:

"Let King Wu continue!"

Zhao Yu stepped aside, and King Wu said coldly: "What if you did this on purpose, Prince?"

"Kill the King of Yan first, so that we will be in a state of panic and suspicion, and then we will not be able to work together to investigate the rumors next!"

He turned to look at Chu Ning and said, "Prince, everything now has something to do with you. I think you should avoid this case!"

Chu Ning was not angry. He looked at the others calmly and asked, "What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then the fifteenth prince Chu Xuan took the initiative to stand up and said in a deep voice:

"Prince, this matter is of great importance and the truth must be found out immediately. Since this matter has something to do with you, I think you should stay away!"

Someone takes the lead and others immediately follow.

The sixteenth prince Chu Bin had a righteous look on his face and said loudly: "Crown Prince, I also think you should avoid it!"

The seventeenth prince Chu Yun was not willing to be outdone and said in a deep voice: "What the two princes said makes sense. The crown prince should indeed consider leaving."

When the other princes saw that the three princes had taken the lead, they naturally lost their fear and began to echo each other.

"Prince, this is a serious matter, and you are also responsible for the affairs of the Zongzheng, so please don't interfere in this matter."

"Yes, the Prince of Yan died on the way out of the East Palace. If the Crown Prince is still investigating the case, it will be hard to be convincing."

"The Crown Prince is now the regent and has many things to deal with every day. It would be better to leave this matter to me!"

"King Teng, what you said is not right. You still need to investigate the person who spread the rumor. You don't have time to deal with this matter. Why don't you let me do it?"

Not only the princes, but even the marquises wanted to intervene.

After all, those princes all want to compete for the position of Zongzheng, while these marquises have nothing to do and want to take the opportunity to deal with this matter so as to enter the court and gain more power.

For a while, there were sounds of attacks one after another at the scene.

No one is willing to give in to the other, and they even expose each other's shortcomings.

Chu Ning watched everyone's performance with an indifferent expression, with no joy or sadness on his face.

He already knew that these people would never let go of this opportunity.

Even though he holds military power and has even become the crown prince regent, if these people seize the opportunity, they will definitely bring him down.

After all, that dragon throne is so tempting!

No powerful man can resist the temptation of the throne.

What's more, the people in front of him are all royal relatives and they all have the potential to sit on that chair.

With such a good opportunity, of course everyone would join forces to keep him out of it!

Zhao Yu was furious when he saw so many people verbally attacking Chu Ning, and he clenched his hands tightly.

If Chu Ning hadn't stopped him, he would have definitely scolded him.

Ling Haoran also looked anxious at this moment.

Based on his understanding of Chu Ning, Chu Ning must be planning something now that he is silent.

These princes and dukes are still thinking of joining forces and are simply dreaming!

While thinking, Chu Ning, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled and said, "Don't you want me to get involved in this matter?"

The scene fell silent, and no one dared to step forward to answer the question.

After a moment, the reckless King Wu snorted coldly and took the initiative to say: "Yes, we just don't want the prince to interfere!"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, a hint of amusement appeared on his face: "Okay, as you wish, I will not interfere!"

The unexpected answer stunned King Wu.

Did you agree so easily?

This is not like Chu Ning's style.

While being surprised, Chu Ning continued, "Since I will not intervene, I must send someone who can calm the situation down to handle this matter."

"I wonder if anyone has any recommendations?"

King Wu glared and said, "I am willing to take over this matter!"

But the Sixteenth Prince snorted coldly: "King Wu, you are not in Kyoto City and are not familiar with the affairs in the city. Let me come."

But the Seventeenth Prince also stood up to object at this moment: "My brother is busy with affairs, why don't you let me handle this matter?"

No one wants to miss this opportunity.

Now, all the prominent royal family members have come to the matter of the Zongzheng. If the murderer of Prince Yan can be found, perhaps he can become the Zongzheng without having to investigate the matter of spreading rumors!

But the other princes and dukes were not happy and they all spoke out in rebuttal.

Suddenly, the scene became noisy again.

Chu Ning was not in a hurry either, he just waited on the side, like a spectator who was eating up the audience.

It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that everyone reacted.

"Prince, tell me, who should be entrusted with this matter?" The impatient King Wu asked first.

Chu Ning shrugged: "Didn't King Wu just tell me to stay out of this? I dare not say anything now."

King Wu laughed awkwardly and said, "Although the Crown Prince cannot handle this matter, he can choose one of us to take charge."

"Really?"

Chu Ning sneered: "I thought you had forgotten me and thought you could decide this matter on your own!"

This simple sentence, accompanied by the rising momentum from his body, instantly suppressed the power of everyone else!

Under everyone's gaze, Chu Ning said calmly: "You don't have to argue about this matter!"

"Since I will not participate, let Prince Chen take the lead and investigate together with the Ministry of Justice."

He knew that only Prince Chen had not formed an alliance with the other princes, and did not want to investigate the matter of spreading rumors.

In this case, King Chen is the one with the least time, so it is of course more appropriate for King Chen to investigate the matter.

The unexpected answer left everyone stunned.

The fifteenth prince raised his eyebrows and frowned, "Prince, Prince Chen was not present due to health reasons."

"Of course I know!"

Chu Ning said calmly, "It is precisely because King Chen is in poor health that the chances of him being the mastermind are slim. It is fair and just for him to investigate this matter!"

"As for you all, you should continue to investigate the matter of spreading rumors."

"I will not take back what I have said. Whoever finds out who spread the rumors will be the leader!"

The mastermind behind the scenes wanted to disrupt Prince Yan's rhythm by poisoning him.

But he won't be fooled!

Now that the other party has made a move, it is now his turn to catch the other party's tail!
