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

"Quick...quickly go out and take a look!"

Above the Golden Palace.

Everyone was silent for a long time. Finally, Emperor Chu was the first to react and walked quickly out of the hall.

The princes looked at each other, shocked in their hearts and with a look of disbelief on their faces.

None of them had expected that King Wu would be so bold as to kill their people.

Seventeenth Prince Chu Yun's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "Everyone, if this is true, we must not let King Wu go today!"

The Fifteenth Prince, who had joined forces with King Wu, frowned upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Maybe there is a misunderstanding."

But the Sixteenth Prince narrowed his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes: "Misunderstanding? Can you kill people just because of a misunderstanding?"

When King Wen saw that the three were about to quarrel again, he could not help but say, "Your Highnesses, let's go out and take a look first."

The three of them snorted coldly and went out of the hall.

Afterwards, a group of kings and princes immediately followed.

Di Wenyao waited until these people left before waving his hand to call over a eunuch: "Immediately inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of what just happened!"

After saying that, Di Wenyao took the lead and led the civil and military officials towards the palace gate.

Soon, Chu Ning received the news.

East Palace.

Chu Ning was accompanying Shen Wanying to get up and prepare to wash up and have breakfast.

Suddenly, Zhao Yu came quickly with a eunuch.

"Your Highness, something happened!" Zhao Yu's heavy voice made Chu Ning frown.

Putting down the silk scarf in his hand, he turned around and asked, "What happened?"

The eunuch who came to report hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the guards at the palace gate have reported that King Wu has killed many people and is holding their heads at the palace gate, waiting for the princes and dukes to claim them."

Chu Ning was slightly startled.

King Wu... is he so tough?

If I kill so many people at once, wouldn't that offend everyone?

When she was surprised, Shen Wanying's delicate face showed a hint of surprise:

"King Wu will surely be condemned by everyone for his actions. This is a serious matter. Your Highness should go over and take a look."

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "You can eat first, no need to wait for me."

After saying that, he took Zhao Yu and a team of white horse cavalry and headed straight for the palace gate.

As the Crown Prince Regent, it was impossible for him to stand idly by when such a big thing happened.

At this time, the emperor had already arrived at the palace gate with princes, ministers, and all the civil and military officials.

As they passed, everyone saw King Wu leading the way, each holding a head in his hands.

The soldiers behind were also carrying two heads each, and the heads, still dripping with blood, gave off a disgusting smell.

The emperor covered his mouth from a distance and shouted angrily: "King Wu, what are you doing?"

King Wu held up the head, bowed from a distance, and shouted, "Your Majesty, I wanted to go to court today, but I didn't expect these people to be following me outside the palace."

"I thought they were bad guys, so I took people to kill them all. But I didn't expect someone to say they were spies, so I brought their heads here."

After saying this, he threw the head in his hand toward the palace gate and said to the group of princes and ministers, "Everyone, come and take a look. Are there any of your people among them?"

The soldiers behind him followed suit and threw the heads in their hands over.

At one moment, dozens of heads rolled down the door, and blood kept flowing as the heads rolled.

The princes and ministers were extremely angry.

They clearly saw their own spies, but no one dared to admit it.

If they now admit that the spy was theirs, then the fault lies with them, and King Wu's reason for killing people is valid.

Therefore, they can only refuse to admit it!

But if they deny it, then King Wu's killing of these spies will have nothing to do with them, and they will not be able to convict King Wu.

It was not until then that the princes and nobles reacted.

King Wu's seemingly reckless behavior actually had such a plan in mind.

The scene became eerily quiet.

Emperor Chu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that everyone would be silent at this time.

He turned around and stared at everyone in surprise, and asked, "My dear ministers, why don't you go up and take a look?"

The silence at the scene was deafening!

The King of Chu was stunned.

What about your momentum?

Where was the energy you were clamoring to punish King Wu just now?

Why don’t you take it out?

What's the matter with everyone keeping silent?

If you victims don't come forward, do you expect him to seek justice?

Just as the emperor was surprised, the seventeenth prince's mouth twitched, he lowered his head and whispered:

"Father, among these heads, none of them belong to me."

Although he said this, he was always staring at the two heads out of the corner of his eyes, and his heart was bleeding.

That was clearly the spy he sent out personally!

"is it?"

Emperor Chu looked at Chu Yun in disbelief, then turned his gaze to the sixteenth prince Chu Bin.

"What about you?"

Chu Bin straightened his back, suppressed his inner killing intent, and said in a deep voice: "Father, there are no people of yours here."

"Is that so?"

Emperor Chu seemed to come back to his senses and turned his gaze to the fifteenth prince Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan was very smart. Without waiting for the emperor to ask, he took the initiative to smile and said, "Father, I am on good terms with King Wu. How could I possibly send someone to keep an eye on King Wu?"

Although he said that, his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly.

It was obvious that he was speaking against his will.

When the emperor saw the attitudes of the three princes, he immediately realized that he had become the one who was exposed.

He wanted to seek justice for these people, but who knew that they would become such cowards.

Well, since you guys don’t want to admit it, he won’t bother with this matter.

Anyway, he no longer has the final say in Kyoto City.

The slacking King Chu couldn't help but roll his eyes and sneered, "Since these people are not yours, there must be some bad guys secretly spying on King Wu."

"In that case, King Wu did a good job in killing me!"

You don't want to admit it, right?

That's fine, let's just let this matter pass!

Upon hearing this, King Wu burst into laughter and said, "Your Majesty is wise. As for these spies in the dark, I will kill as many as they come!"

After saying this, he looked at the princes provocatively and shouted loudly: "Everyone, you have admitted it yourself. These spies are not your people. I did not kill them wrongly!"

In a word, he wanted to stop these people from using this as an excuse to settle accounts with him in the future!

Everyone's face changed slightly when they heard this.

It was not until then that they realized how powerful King Wu was.

It seems very reckless, but in fact it contains a mystery.

They don't dare admit that they killed their people, and they haven't found anyone to seek justice for this matter.

Although he couldn't swallow the anger in his heart, he had no choice but to swallow it down in the face of such a situation!

The silence at the scene emboldened King Wu's arrogance, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Since everyone is silent, then I killed so many spies this time, which can be considered a great achievement, right?"

He turned to look at the King of Chu and said loudly: "Your Majesty, should you give me some rewards?"

Not only did he kill someone, he even took credit for it!

The corner of Emperor Chu's mouth twitched.

I've seen thick-skinned people, but I've never seen anyone so shameless!
