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

Feng Mulan's feat stunned everyone.

Feng Mulan took the wine glasses from the dozen or so officials who came to toast her and drank them all in one gulp.

Even the emperor was stunned.

Although I had heard of Feng Mulan's name and knew her character, I was still shocked when I saw such a tough Feng Mulan in person for the first time!

However, the matter of taking back the military power cannot be delayed because of Feng Mulan.

Since there is no way to keep forcing him to drink, I'll just have to force it.

Fortunately, Chu Ning has drunk a lot now, and his mind may not be clear anymore.

The emperor suddenly laughed out loud: "I've heard that Lord Feng's woman is a heroine. Not only did she make great contributions on the front line, but she was also so generous when drinking!"

"But then again, Chu Ning has drunk quite a bit, so that's about it."

The officials who had been toasting heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and they all bowed and left the pavilion.

Shen Wanying breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the emperor spoke, the matter would be over.

She pulled Feng Mulan's hand with some heartache.

Feng Mulan shook her head at Shen Wanying, patted her chest and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when it comes to drinking, no one can beat me!"

Even though she drank more than a dozen cups, Feng Mulan still acted as if nothing had happened.

Chu Ning smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Feng for helping me out. Otherwise... well... otherwise I would have to be carried back tonight."

Feng Mulan glanced at him and snorted coldly: "I'm not here to help you out. I just came out because I saw Wanying was worried!"

As she said this, she snorted and sat down next to Shen Wanying with a proud look on her face.

Chu Ning shook his head, he had no way to deal with this tough girl with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

At this time, the emperor smiled and said, "Well, I have almost finished drinking. I have a few words to say."

Everyone suddenly became quiet and looked at the people in the pavilion.

The emperor slowly stood up and said calmly under the gaze of everyone: "Our army won a great victory in this battle, but it was not without losses. The father and son of the Chang family died on the battlefield, leaving our army without a commander on the front line.

Although Chu Ning managed to turn the tide, he had not experienced too many major battles and did not have much experience on the battlefield. Although he won this battle, it was mostly due to luck.

Moreover, Chu Ning is about to marry Princess Shen and has no time to take care of the frontline battles, so I plan to let Feng Anguo take over the command of the frontline troops. "

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

The prince, who knew the news in advance, was not surprised and looked like he was enjoying the show.

Chu Ning, Chu Ning, now that you have lost your military power, I wonder how you can be so arrogant!

It will be easy to deal with you then!

Without military power, other ministers will not look at you differently. Even if you are named King of Chu, you still cannot threaten me.

The prince was very happy, looking like he was enjoying the fruits of his labor.

The other ministers who did not know the news looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

Chu Ning's performance on the front line was remarkable, but he didn't expect that his military power would be taken back as soon as he returned.

Everyone looked at Chu Ning at this moment, waiting for his answer.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Ning smiled slightly and reached out to take out the military token from his sleeve.

This is a military talisman carved from a special black stone. There is a lifelike tiger on it, which looks very ferocious.

Everyone was stunned.

No way, Chu Ning would hand over the military command so easily?

Even Shen Wanying was a little surprised.

Didn't you say you were prepared? Why did you bring the military token and call it out on your own initiative?

She thought Chu Ning would delay the matter by saying that he did not bring the military token.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Chu Ning held the military token in both hands and said with a smile: "Father, what you said makes sense. This son of mine did have some luck in this battle. Since you want to take back the military power, then this military token must be returned."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and a hint of doubt flashed across his face.

No, that's not right.

With Chu Ning's character, how could he easily hand over the military command?

No, I have to ask clearly!

The emperor did not take the military order, but smiled and asked, "Chu Ning, I am doing this for your own good. I believe you will not blame me, right?"

Chu Ning chuckled: "How could a son blame his father? I can't thank him enough."

This left everyone dumbfounded.

The emperor wants to take back your military power, and you actually want to thank him?

The emperor was also stunned.

But the prince sneered: "Eighteenth brother, why bother to be mysterious? If you have any objections, you can raise them on the spot!"

Chu Ning laughed: "I have no objection. Even if the emperor doesn't mention this tonight, I will take the initiative to return the military token. Otherwise, why would I bring the military token here?"

The prince laughed, his face full of disdain.

No one would believe such words!

However, the suspicious emperor frowned and asked, "Tell me clearly, why do you want to return the military token on your own initiative?"

Chu Ning rolled his eyes, glanced at everyone, and said with a wicked smile: "Father, take the military token first."

But the more he did this, the more uneasy the emperor became.

The more the emperor got to know Chu Ning, the more he felt that this kid Chu Ning must have some conspiracy waiting for him.

"Explain the situation clearly first, and I will take back the military command later!" The emperor was unmoved.

Chu Ning felt a little disappointed and sighed, "Alas, Father, think about it, if I destroy the Zhao army of 200,000, will they just let it go?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed slightly.

The emperor even asked hurriedly: "Does the Zhao army still want to attack our dynasty?"

Chu Ning nodded and said, "That's right. I had already found out before I returned to the court that the Great Zhao Dynasty was recruiting soldiers and horses to avenge their grievances. In just half a month, they had gathered 50,000 strong men!"

"Fifty thousand people?"

The emperor frowned and said, "Even if these 50,000 men are sent to support the front, we can still resist them with our current military strength."

Chu Ning chuckled, "That's right. Even if they have 50,000 men, we have Dingxiang City, so they still can't get in. Father, don't worry. Just take the military token first."

But the more anxious Chu Ning was to hand over the military command, the more the emperor felt something was wrong.

"Are there any difficulties on the front line? Tell me the truth!" the emperor asked with a sullen face.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to have no intention of accepting the military order, Chu Ning could not help but feel a little disappointed and said, "The imperial court has always neglected the food supply for the frontline troops, and Bingzhou has been plundered by the Zhao army. Now it is extremely poor and cannot afford to support our frontline troops.

I really don't want to go and collect food anymore, so please let someone else handle this problem."

After a pause, Chu Ning turned to look at the Crown Prince and said with a wicked smile, "I feel that the Crown Prince seems to want this military token very much. Why not let the Crown Prince take it over? From now on, the mobilization of troops and the collection of food on the front line will be under the command of the Crown Prince.

Oh, by the way, the cavalry and Modao troops that I have formed will not stay at the front line, and this can also reduce the burden on the court's grain supply."

When these words were spoken, everyone was dumbfounded.

The emperor wanted to take back the military power, but Chu Ning cut off the source of the problem.

Chu Ning had to take away the troops he had organized himself, leaving behind the troops originally in Dingxiang City, and the new commander would be responsible for the food supply of these troops.

Who dares to go there?
