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

East Palace, at the gate.

Chu Ning looked at the thorny bushes in front of him and sneered in his heart.

The prince had already prepared this thing and was waiting for him.

But since I dared to come, how could I not have any preparation?

Hearing the footsteps behind him, a strange smile appeared on Chu Ning's face.

The person you've been waiting for is here!

Next, it’s my turn to show off... No, it should be said that I should get close to the opponent and show off my power.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Ning put on a panicked look and said in a trembling voice, "Please forgive me for not understanding what the prince said.

The incident at the Ministry of War was caused by Minister Feng, and it was my father's order to have me serve as a guard under Lord Feng.

Not to mention the matter of Lord He, I have never informed my father about this matter. It has nothing to do with me.

If my brother were to impose these two crimes on me..."

Before Chu Ning finished speaking, the prince interrupted with a cold snort, "Shut up, how dare you talk back to me? Who gave you the courage?

Humph, just because you contradicted me, I am more than enough to make you kneel down and be punished."

It seems that Chu Ning will not accept punishment obediently. I must use my power as the crown prince to suppress him.

But what the prince didn't know at the moment was that the emperor was standing outside watching this scene with an expressionless face.

The surrounding eunuchs and guards of the Eastern Palace had been controlled and all knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Everyone gasped when they heard the prince's arrogant words.

The prince is in trouble today after saying such things in front of His Majesty!

At this moment, Chu Ning, who had his back to the emperor, sighed and said, "Forget it. If the prince wants to punish me, how dare I disobey him?"

After taking a look at the thorns, Chu Ning was about to kneel down.

But in my heart I was shouting, "Emperor, please speak!"

If you don't speak, he will really kneel down.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't want to see his son kneeling on the thorny bushes, so he said coldly:

"The prince is so majestic!"

Chu Ning felt relieved and turned around quickly, but a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Greetings, Father. I wonder why you are here?"

The emperor glanced at Chu Ning, and a hint of kindness and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Humph, if I hadn't come, you would have been carried away from the East Palace today!"

The prince in the hall also recognized his father's voice. His face changed drastically and he hurried out of the hall.

"My son, please see your father!"

"Humph, I don't have a son like you!"

The emperor snorted coldly, and the first words he said made the prince tremble all over.

He knew that the emperor must know what had just happened.

It's over, this is big trouble.

The prince's face immediately turned gloomy.

This damn Chu Ning, it’s all his fault!

Chu Ning is a troublemaker!

Although he was angry, the prince did not lose his mind. He knew that he had to explain clearly now to avoid misunderstanding with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am terrified. Please listen to my explanation. Actually..."

"enough!"

The emperor rudely interrupted the prince and said coldly: "In order to help He Peng, you actually wanted to take back the 100 war horses and even wanted to deliberately punish Chu Ning. Do you really think I don't know anything?"

The prince's face suddenly became as gloomy as water.

Conspiracy, this is definitely Chu Ning's conspiracy.

This bastard came here deliberately to apologize, but secretly sent someone to inform my father so that I could embarrass myself in front of him.

Despicable, so despicable!

What should I do now? My father won’t listen to my explanation anymore.

The prince panicked.

He never thought that one day Chu Ning would force him to this point.

The emperor glanced at the prince, his face still furious, and pressed him, "You have nothing to say? I was right and you can't refute me, right?

As a prince, you even have to take back the gift for meeting. If this gets out, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, but I am!

Are you going to punish Chu Ning? You even prepared the thorns. You are so impressive, Prince!"

The emperor became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and the sword in his hand could not help but tremble.

Chu Ning laughed secretly in his heart, but pretended to comfort him on the surface: "Father, this is just a small matter, you don't have to make a big fuss about it, and don't punish the prince brother.

After all, the prince is also doing this for the court."

He just wanted to remind the emperor to punish the prince immediately!

The prince was stunned by these words.

I am going to punish Chu Ning, why is Chu Ning pleading for me?

But when the emperor heard this, it didn't make sense.

After all, Chu Ning was born in the common people and did not dare to offend the prince.

Even if the prince asked him to kneel on thorns, he would still plead for the prince.

Why is there such a big gap between people?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he disliked the prince!

The emperor glared at Chu Ning fiercely, his face full of annoyance: "At this time, you are still begging for mercy for the prince, you are too honest!

But the prince has gone too far this time, and I must punish him.

This matter was caused by you. Tell me, how do you want me to punish the prince?"

The prince was dumbfounded on the spot.

Do I have to ask Chu Ning’s opinion before punishing myself?

There is no way this bastard will let me go.

Just now I almost made him kneel on the thorns. Now that he has the chance, he will beat me to death.

The prince panicked and quickly turned to look at Chu Ning, his eyes full of threats.

Chu Ning laughed secretly in his heart.

Are you afraid now?

However, his goal was to go to the front line, not to stay in this treacherous city of Kyoto. It would do him no good if he offended the prince to death.

After thinking for a while, Chu Ning sighed and said, "If my father must punish me, then punish my brother the crown prince by giving me another hundred war horses!

I want to serve the country. If I have more horses, I can kill more enemies on the battlefield."

The prince was dumbfounded. Was Chu Ning really going to let him go?

The emperor was stunned.

Even at this time, Chu Ning was still thinking about going to the front line to serve the country.

Comparing the prince and Chu Ning, one is as far apart as heaven and earth. There is no way to compare them.

Thinking about what the prince did, and then looking at Chu Ning’s current attitude, they are all my sons, why is there such a big difference?

Well, Chu Ning must not dare to offend the prince, so he does not dare to make any request.

The emperor sighed and said, "You kid, you always wrong yourself like this. As the crown prince, he is the heir to the throne of the country. If he has done something wrong, he must pay the price for it.

Since you are willing to contribute to the country, one hundred horses are too few. Give me one thousand!"

The prince's mouth twitched.

One thousand war horses, this is not a small number.

When the emperor saw that the prince was silent, he glared at him and said, "Why, prince, are you unhappy?"

"With pleasure. I'll ask someone to arrange it right away!" The prince dared not hesitate and nodded in agreement.

But the emperor didn't want to let him go, and said coldly: "You have disappointed me so much, I will punish you to kneel in the ancestral temple for a day. If you dare to cause trouble for Chu Ning again today, I will never let you off easily."

If you dare to make Chu Ning kneel for half a day, I will make you kneel for a day!

After saying that, the emperor turned and looked at Chu Ning: "This matter was caused by He Peng. How do you want me to deal with this person?"
