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

The next two days in Kyoto were very peaceful.

There was no movement in the Prince's Eastern Palace, and news also came from the Ministry of Justice that Du Yuanji had brought trouble upon himself and should be executed!

At this point, the case came to an end and Chu Ning was found not guilty!

Naturally, the civil and military officials did not dare to say much about this. As the year was coming to an end, no one wanted to cause trouble.

And two days later, the Prince of Chu's Palace also welcomed guests.

It was a clear day.

Three carriages and a guard team stopped at the gate of the palace. Leading them was a middle-aged man wearing a green robe and with an elegant appearance. He glanced at the palace and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

This person is Han Xing, an old minister of the previous dynasty and the son of the former general!

Ever since he received Shen Wanying's letter, he has had a strong interest in Chu Ning.

It is said that the King of Chu was less than 20 years old. It was shocking that he defeated 200,000 soldiers of Zhao at such a young age.

The reason I came here this time was, on the one hand, at the invitation of Shen Wanying, and on the other hand, I also wanted to see His Royal Highness the King of Chu with my own eyes.

While he was deep in thought, Shen Wanying came out from the carriage behind, followed by two people getting out from the two carriages respectively.

"Wow, this Chu Palace is so grand!" laughed an old man with white beard.

A middle-aged man in black with a feather crown and scarf beside him shook his head: "It's a royal palace, how can it not be magnificent?"

The two of them sang in unison, causing another broad-faced, long-bearded old man to snort coldly: "You two just like to be so literary!"

Finally, the thin old man in blue clothes tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Well, we are here to see the King of Chu today, so it is not certain whether we should leave the mountain."

Shen Wanying laughed softly, "My dear uncles, you better be careful. The King of Chu is not an ordinary person."

"is it?"

The elegant middle-aged man at the beginning smiled calmly: "I want to see how he is so special."

Shen Wanying nodded slightly and led everyone into the mansion.

The guard at the door knew Shen Wanying, so he naturally didn't dare to stop her and immediately went inside to report.

Chu Ning, who was practicing shooting in the yard, heard that Shen Wanying had come with her men. Without saying a word, he dropped his spear, wiped his face with a silk scarf, and ran straight to the living room.

These people are the source of his wealth, and he must treat them well.

In the living room, six people were talking, when they suddenly heard a voice from outside: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has arrived!"

The six people turned around and saw Chu Ning walking towards them in a blue suit with a smile on his face.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the King of Chu." The five people saluted Chu Ning, and Shen Wanying nodded slightly to Chu Ning as a greeting.

Given their current relationship, there would naturally be no politeness.

This scene was also keenly noticed by the other five people.

They looked at each other secretly and realized that their princess had been completely conquered by Chu Ning, otherwise their relationship would not be so close.

At this moment, their curiosity was aroused.

How could the princess, who has always been so arrogant, be conquered by Chu Ning?

How could an illegitimate child born in the common people make the princess willing to marry him?

While everyone was thinking, Chu Ning smiled and said, "No need to be polite, please sit down and talk."

Everyone took their seats, and Shen Wanying naturally sat in the main seat next to Chu Ning.

This move was equivalent to telling the other five people that she had recognized Chu Ning!

At this time, the maid brought fragrant tea, and the living room was immediately filled with the aroma of tea, making people feel refreshed.

Chu Ning was the first to speak and said with a smile: "It is my honor to have you all here. I invite you all to stay and have lunch with me at noon today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged scholar in blue said calmly: "This matter is not urgent. I have something to ask you. I wonder if the King of Chu can help me solve this problem?"

Chu Ning glanced at this person, and Shen Wanying beside him smiled and explained: "Uncle Han Xing's ancestors were known as military gods. In the past, on the battlefield, Uncle Han defeated an enemy army of 100,000 with only 50,000 soldiers and horses. He has the style of his ancestors."

It turns out he was born a military general, no wonder he cares about war.

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "I see. Mr. Han, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Han Xing was not polite and asked directly: "I have heard about the Battle of Dingxiang, but there is one thing I don't understand. How can you be sure that Murong Zhu will definitely transfer the central army and take the opportunity to attack and kill him?"

This is the key to this battle. If Murong Zhu had not transferred the central army, Zhao Yu would not have been able to kill him!

So Han Xing was very curious about where Chu Ning got the confidence to let Murong Zhu mobilize the central army.

In response, Chu Ning smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. I played a psychological game on him, making him think that it would be easy to attack after the south gate was opened.

At that time, he was eager to avenge Tuoba Yan, and the enemy had little food and grass, so he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. That’s why I concluded that he would not miss this opportunity, so I asked General Zhao Yu to lead the cavalry to go around behind him in advance. "

Han Xing fell silent upon hearing this.

To be honest, if he were to command this battle, he would definitely not have the courage.

With a long sigh, Han Xing bowed his hands in awe and said, "You are truly a hero in your youth. I admire you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-bearded old man behind him chuckled and said, “This battle is enough to show that your highness’s military talent far exceeds that of ordinary people, but it also involves gambling.

However, there can be no gambling in governing state affairs. If you are not careful, it may lead to civil unrest. Your Highness, although your policy of equalizing the land tax is good, it touches on the interests of some people.

Once these people take the lead in opposing it, Your Highness, I'm afraid your policies will be difficult to implement."

Shen Wanying took the opportunity to introduce: "This is Uncle Zhang Zheng."

The interview is coming!

Chu Ning's heart moved, he looked at Zhang Zheng and said with a smile: "The interests of a minority cannot represent the interests of the majority. As long as the majority agrees, the opinions of these people do not need to be adopted."

Zhang Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "What if they strongly oppose it, or even go against the imperial court, and don't want to hand over the good farmland in their hands?"

These words made Chu Ning's face show a murderous intent: "If this is true, I will take them all down as the governor of Bingzhou and confiscate all of them within two days."

"What a spirit!"

The middle-aged Chen Shiming, wearing a feather crown and black clothes, smiled and said, "Such a thunderbolt method will surely shock Xiao Xiao, but Your Highness, have you ever thought about what the court will think of this matter?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "My father has handed Bingzhou over to me for self-governance. Within seven years, I will have the final say on Bingzhou's affairs!"

Li Chengwang, an old man with a broad face and long beard, laughed heartily, stroked his beard and said with satisfaction: "That's how it should be. Only thunderbolt methods can accomplish thunderbolt deeds!"

But in the end, the thin old man in blue, Di Wenyao, frowned and said, “This move is bound to cause dissatisfaction among the local wealthy families. Once they move their families, it will be detrimental to the people of Bingzhou and the reputation of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Moreover, without the support of these people, it would be difficult to provide food and wages for the soldiers on the front line.”

It has to be said that these are people with real talent and knowledge, and they consider all aspects of the problem carefully.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled mysteriously: "What I want is for them to leave Bingzhou!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
