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

"Hahahaha, this is the clue I got!"

Prince Wu's Mansion, living room.

Prince Wu laughed heartily and handed the document from the Ministry of Justice to the fifteenth prince Chu Xuan who came to inquire.

After taking the document and reading it carefully, a smile appeared on Chu Xuan's face.

"Uncle Wu Wang is really amazing. Only you can get this document from the Ministry of Justice."

He paused, frowned and said, "However, this document is a bit strange. Since we don't know who poisoned him, why does Ling Haoran suspect that it was Sixteenth Brother who poisoned him?"

King Wu's laughter stopped abruptly, and a look of doubt appeared on his face: "This is also what is strange about this king. Why would you suspect the Sixteenth Prince for no reason?"

"Although this document states that the Sixteenth Prince has a formidable doctor who is proficient in medicine, this does not prove that the Sixteenth Prince is a suspect."

There is just a doctor in the mansion, but he becomes a target of suspicion?

It's too childish.

The two looked at each other, and then King Wu picked up the cup of water on the table and drank it all, with a ruthless look on his face:

"How about this, tomorrow morning when the Sixteenth Prince is in court, I will go to his house and find the doctor to ask him?"

This made Chu Xuan's face change slightly: "That won't do. He is a prince after all. If we agree to search his mansion, he only needs to report us and others will add insult to injury."

"Now is the critical moment in the competition for the position of Zongzheng, and we must not let anyone else get hold of us."

If it were any other time, I would just go in and ask the doctor.

But now is a critical moment. If they really do this, they will definitely become the target of others' attacks.

If they were to be criticized at this time, they would lose the chance of becoming the Zongzheng.

King Wu's face suddenly became a little ugly: "This won't work, that won't work either, then what's the point of this clue for me?"

After saying that, he threw the document on the table to the ground in annoyance.

But Chu Xuan shook his head, took the initiative to stand up and pick up the document, and said with a smile: "If the hard way doesn't work, we can try the soft way."

"After the morning court tomorrow, I invite my sixteenth brother to visit my house. Uncle Wu has sent someone to invite the doctor in his house to come and see the patient. I'm sure he won't dare not come."

"As long as this person comes, with Uncle Wu Wang's methods, we will definitely be able to get clues from him."

King Wu, who was originally angry, suddenly lit up when he heard this and laughed loudly: "Great idea, great idea!"

"In that case, I will not attend court tomorrow!"

After the two of them finished their discussion, Chu Xuan stood up and said, "I will not disturb Uncle Wu's rest. Goodbye."

"Come here, see the guests off!"

The two exchanged pleasantries before Chu Xuan left.

Nothing happened during the night, and time passed quickly until it was the morning of the next day.

The sky was still dim and dark. Now it was October and the daybreaks came later.

At the hour of Mao, you still need to carry a lantern or hold a torch to see the road clearly.

Civil and military officials came to the palace to attend court as usual.

"The auspicious time has come, the morning court begins!"

As the eunuch's shrill voice rang out, officials entered the Golden Palace one after another.

However, after everyone entered, they found that it was not the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, but Chu Ning standing in front of the dragon throne with his hands behind his back!

Today's morning court session will be presided over by Chu Ning!

No one was surprised by this. After all, this kind of situation often occurred after Chu Ning took control of the imperial guards and Youzhou troops.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Civil and military officials bowed in greeting.

Chu Ning glanced at everyone and did not see King Wu, but he did not mention the matter on his own initiative. Instead, he nodded and smiled:

"No need to be so polite, everyone. I will preside over the morning court today on behalf of my father."

After a pause, he pretended not to know, looked at the crowd and asked, "Where is King Wu?"

There was total silence in the hall.

"King Wu is not here?"

Chu Ning snorted coldly: "Last night, I received a memorial from Lord Ling, the Minister of Justice. Prince Wu actually took people to the Ministry of Justice last night and forced Lord Ling to hand over the clues of the Yan Wang case."

"Humph, if you disregard the laws of the country like this, I will never let you off easily."

Judging from the situation, he wants to punish King Wu.

The fifteenth prince Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes, and a hint of worry flashed across his face.

If no one speaks for King Wu at this moment, he will be in big trouble next.

This is not a good thing for him.

Thinking of the alliance between the two, Chu Xuan immediately stepped out of the class and said loudly: "Prince, Uncle Wu Wang did this to find the murderer as soon as possible."

"Please, Prince, for Uncle Wu's painstaking efforts, don't pursue the matter."

"No investigation?"

Chu Ning snorted coldly: "If everyone is like King Wu, then is there still national law?"

"Whether he is investigating the case of Prince Yan or not, what he did is against the rules!"

Seeing that he could not persuade him, Chu Xuan could only make the next best choice: "Although King Wu is wrong, but considering his sincerity, please be lenient with him."

Perhaps because of his better attitude, the anger on Chu Ning's face eased a lot.

After a moment's silence, he said helplessly, "Forget it, King Wu is indeed here to investigate the case of King Yan."

"Moreover, the death of Prince Yan might be related to the person who spread the rumors. Prince Wu wants to become the head of the clan, so he is naturally willing to take a risk."

"But if everyone is like King Wu, wouldn't that be chaos?"

"Well, since I have summoned the Prince of Yan to Kyoto, I cannot sit idly by and watch him die."

"Master Ling, tell everyone the clues you got and ask him to help investigate."

"There is strength in numbers. Maybe you can find some clues."

When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.

If they can intervene in this matter and find the murderer, it will be a great achievement.

What's more, Chu Ning also said that this matter might be related to the person who spread the rumors!

Once the murderer is found, the person who spread the rumors will also be found, and the position of Zong Zheng will naturally be easy to capture.

The Sixteenth Prince Chu Bin, who was the first to react, had his eyes light up, and he quickly looked at Ling Haoran and asked:

"I wonder what clues Lord Ling found?"

Ling Haoran seemed to have been prepared. He immediately took out several memorials and handed over the one with the Sixteenth Prince's name on it:

"Your Highness the Sixteenth, please take a look yourself."

Chu Bin couldn't wait to go up and take the letter.

The other princes and dukes were also anxious at this moment and came forward to ask for the memorials. Ling Haoran distributed the memorials to everyone one by one according to the names written on them.

After seeing this, everyone's expression changed slightly and they all looked at other people.

However, the object they were looking at was a little strange.

The Sixteenth Prince looked at the Seventeenth Prince, the Seventeenth Prince looked at Prince Teng, Prince Teng looked at Prince Wen, and Prince Wen looked at Prince Chen.

There was a hint of suspicion in everyone's eyes.

This scene made the fifteenth prince Chu Xuan feel a little strange.

Logically speaking, everyone's memorial should have the same content, so why do these people suspect different people?

Surprised, Chu Ning said in a deep voice: "Okay, everyone knows the clues, and now you will assist the Ministry of Justice in the investigation!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Next, he just had to wait and see the show.
