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

"Your Majesty, I dare not influence your decision, but I think the title of King of Chu is the title of Taizu. If it is given to Chu Ning, I am afraid it is a bit inappropriate."

The prince was no fool, how could he not hear the dissatisfaction in the emperor's words.

If you continue to hold on, the emperor will definitely dislike you!

The emperor frowned, shifted his gaze from the crown prince to the other princes, and asked:

"What do you think of what the prince said?"

The second prince was the first to step forward and said in a deep voice, "Father, I think what the Crown Prince said makes some sense."

Seeing someone taking the lead, the other princes became bolder and stood up to respond.

"Father, in the history of our dynasty, no one has ever dared to use the title of King of Chu!"

"Chu Ning was born in the common people. It would be a bit hasty to make him the King of Chu just because of his military achievements."

"Yes, father, even if you want to confer the title of prince on Chu Ning, he doesn't necessarily have to be the King of Chu."

For a moment, the princes were filled with indignation.

The emperor took in everyone's performance and a look of displeasure flashed across his face.

Someone is trying to stop me from doing what I want to do?

What a bunch of traitors!

Humph, when I asked you to go to the front line, you all made excuses and didn't want to go.

Now that Chu Ning has gone there and made great contributions, why can't I make him the King of Chu?

However, they all opposed it. If I force them to become the King of Chu, these rebellious sons would definitely feel resentful.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, his gaze turned cold, and he reprimanded: "Enough!"

The emperor snorted coldly, waved his hand to interrupt everyone who wanted to continue talking, and said in a cold voice: "I will only make the decision on this matter!"

He turned to look at Feng Anguo and asked in a gentle tone, "Lord Feng, your daughter also participated in this battle and performed well. What do you think about this?"

If Chu Ning's reward was higher, Feng Mulan's reward would naturally not be less.

Feng Anguo has been in officialdom for many years, so it is impossible for him not to know this. As long as someone stands up to support, this can be accomplished!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Feng Anguo, and everyone knew that he was the focus.

As long as the emperor has support, he will definitely push for the appointment of King of Chu.

The Crown Prince became anxious at this moment, and quickly winked at the Second Prince, indicating that the Second Prince should speak.

Feng Anguo is your man, you can't ignore him at the critical moment!

The second prince looked a little unhappy.

Although Feng Anguo is my man, he always does what he wants, and even I cannot control him.

Forget it, never mind, this king must make his attitude clear!

The second prince narrowed his eyes, stared at Feng Anguo and said in a deep voice: "Master Feng, this matter is of great importance, you must think it over carefully!"

Feng Anguo frowned.

As a military general, he was actually involved in a political incident.

If he agreed with the emperor's opinion, he would definitely offend all the princes.

But if I refuse, the emperor will definitely be displeased with me.

What a dilemma!

It is not right to express an opinion, and it is not right not to express an opinion.

However, this matter involves his own daughter after all, he cannot just turn a blind eye to it, much less play dumb.

Thinking of this, Feng Anguo stepped out of the line and bowed to the Second Prince, saying seriously: "Second Prince, what you said makes sense. This matter is indeed of great importance and needs to be handled with caution."

After replying to the Second Prince, he turned to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I believe this matter concerns the reputation of Taizu and the royal family, and I need to consult the Imperial Clan Court first."

Anyway, he neither agreed nor objected, he just referred the matter to the clan affairs office. I believe the emperor and the second prince would not blame him for this.

If the clan affairs office thinks it is inappropriate and casually gives Chu Ning the title of Prince, which in turn affects my daughter's reward, then I will accept it!

These words made the Crown Prince and the other princes feel greatly relieved.

Although Feng Anguo did not refuse, he did not agree either, and did not give the emperor a reason to directly decide the matter.

The emperor frowned. He didn't expect Feng Anguo could be so cunning.

However, there is some truth in this statement. After all, the title of King of Chu was used by the founding monarch. If his descendants want to use it, they should ask the clan office.

The emperor nodded slightly: "Master Feng's words make sense."

He turned to look at an octogenarian with white hair and a cane in the train and asked, "Uncle Wang, what do you think about this?"

This man's name was Chu Yu. He was the emperor's uncle. He was named King of Qin and was in charge of the clan office.

Chu Yu sighed, stood up with his cane, and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, this has no precedent in our dynasty."

The emperor frowned, feeling somewhat unhappy.

But Chu Yu then added: "However, in the laws of all dynasties, there seems to be no provision that prohibits the use of the ancestor's title. I cannot make the decision on this matter, so Your Majesty can decide."

The meaning is very clear. There is no clear rule that prohibits the use of the ancestor's title, but no one has ever used it in history. The final decision is in your hands, the emperor.

If you are not afraid of what people in the future will say, you can just make a decision!

But the emperor hesitated.

Once you are really crowned King of Chu, the responsibility will be on me.

These guys are as cunning as ghosts. It is impossible to get definite support from them.

Even Feng Anguo is like this, let alone others.

However, these words have already been said. If I back down now, how will I have any face in the future?

The emperor narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed out loud.

The laughter was so loud that all the ministers were surprised and looked up.

The emperor stopped talking, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "The reason why our Taizu became the founding emperor is because of his courage!

Now that Chu Ning has defeated the Zhao army and annihilated 200,000 enemies, with such achievements, what's wrong with being named King of Chu?

Someone, come here, draft an edict immediately to confer the title of King of Chu on Chu, and grant him Bingzhou as his fiefdom!

In addition, Guan Yun was appointed General Pingxi, Zhao Yu was appointed General Pingdong, Ran Ming was appointed General Pingbei, Feng Mulan was appointed County Lord, and the rest were promoted three levels and rewarded according to their merits! "

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene fell into deathly silence.

Closed!

He was really crowned King of Chu!

Your Majesty wants to support Chu Ning, otherwise he would not have been named King of Chu.

The prince's face became extremely gloomy at this moment.

King of Chu!!

How could Chu Ning deserve to be named King of Chu? This is the title of the founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty and the symbol of the Great Chu State!

He is worthy of being a mere illegitimate child?

No, we must not let Chu Ning come back alive, otherwise he will become a great threat to me.

We must find a way to get rid of Chu Ning!

At this moment, the prince made up his mind that he must kill Chu Ning, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with him once Chu Ning became powerful.

Humph, let Chu Ning show off for a few days. When he returns to the capital, I will make sure he is killed without a burial place!

However, Chu Ning cannot have an easy time now.

Want food and fodder? Dream on!

"Father, I am grateful for your kindness, but I think the food and fodder mentioned in your victory report are unnecessary."

The prince was the first to come to his senses and spoke eloquently: "Since he has occupied the enemy's camp, he must have obtained the enemy's food and grass. Three hundred thousand people's food and grass must be several million dan at least. He is not short of food and grass now!"

Once you are crowned King of Chu, you can forget about food and grass!
