Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne
Chapter 369: Doubt? If there was a survivor, you should have told me earlier!
"I never expected that our army would win another great victory!"
"Yes, I heard that the 200,000 Zhao troops were completely wiped out. It's really gratifying!"
"Who says it's not true? In all these years, our dynasty has only had one good fight with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. I didn't expect that it would happen again after a year."
"That's right. This great victory has made our dynasty gain face in front of other dynasties."
Outside the Yingwu Palace.
The officials who received the news were talking about it.
No one expected that this war would start so hastily and end so quickly.
In just half a month, 200,000 Zhao troops were reduced to ashes!
The ministers were very excited and came to Yingwu Hall happily one by one.
But unlike outside the temple, they did not dare to make loud noises inside the temple.
In the quiet hall, the emperor sat in the main seat, with people standing on both sides.
The prince leading on the right had a gloomy face.
How could those damn Bingzhou soldiers be so powerful that 200,000 Zhao troops were destroyed so easily by them.
No, this must be fake news!
Humph, I will definitely question the person who brought the good news later.
The prince did not believe it and thought that the victory report was wrong and that it was false news deliberately sent back from Bingzhou.
While he was lost in thought, the sound of footsteps disturbed the peace in the hall.
The emperor's eyes lit up and he laughed, "Chu Ning is here."
"Your son greets you, father!" Chu Ning stepped forward and bowed.
The emperor nodded slightly and said, "No need to be polite. This time, Bingzhou won a great victory and annihilated 200,000 Zhao troops. This is cause for celebration. It shows that you have governed Bingzhou well."
Chu Ning was about to say something modest, but the Crown Prince stood up and said in a deep voice, "Father, has this great victory been confirmed by anyone?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the hall changed slightly.
Everyone knows that the prince does not want Chu Ning to become powerful at the moment. With such military achievements, it is impossible for the court not to reward Bingzhou.
The prince's doubts were reasonable both emotionally and logically, both publicly and privately.
Chu Ning grinned and looked at the prince with a playful look on his face: "Why, Prince, do you think the Bingzhou troops are lying about military intelligence?"
The prince sneered: "The 200,000 Zhao troops are not made of paper, how could they be completely wiped out in just half a month?
Even if your Bingzhou troops leave again, even if there are 200,000 pigs left there for them to slaughter, it will take more than ten days, right?"
The second prince narrowed his eyes and stood up to agree: "Brother Crown Prince is right in his concerns. We cannot jump to conclusions on this matter!"
The Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince looked at each other, then stood up together and said, "Father, what the Crown Prince said makes sense."
"Such a record is too amazing. I think we should send someone to check it out to prevent someone from claiming credit for the victory!"
We must never allow Chu Ning to become more powerful, we must suppress Chu Ning's momentum!
Anyway, they have more people and Chu Ning is alone, so he can't win against them at all.
This scene made the emperor's face extremely gloomy.
The great victory at the front should have been a cause for celebration for everyone, but unexpectedly, his own son, in order to fight for power and profit, actually questioned the victory report.
However, this good news was indeed too outrageous. It was unbelievable that two hundred thousand soldiers were wiped out in such a short time.
For some reason, the emperor felt a little shaken.
"Chu Ning, what do you think about this?" The emperor waved his hand for everyone to be quiet, his eyes fixed on Chu Ning.
Chu Ning lowered his head quickly, looking terrified: "Father, I just learned about the great victory on the front line and I don't know much about this matter.
However, since several brothers are questioning this matter, why not let the person who reported the victory personally describe the battle situation at that time? "
It's hard to explain at this time.
The only way to deal with this group of scoundrels is to use even more scoundrel methods.
Let magic defeat magic!
The emperor nodded slightly: "Okay, come on, please let Princess Feng in."
Everyone was stunned.
County Lady Feng?
There was only one Princess Feng in the Great Chu Dynasty, the lawless daughter of Minister Feng.
The prince's expression changed slightly.
How come she came back in person to report the victory?
While everyone was surprised, Feng Mulan was invited over from the side hall.
"See Your Majesty."
Feng Mulan's eyes stayed on Chu Ning for a moment, and then she bowed to the emperor.
The emperor nodded slightly and said, "The Crown Prince and others feel that the results of this battle are too shocking, and would like you to tell us in detail about the battle."
Feng Mulan, who already had a bad temper, suddenly glared at the prince and stared at him: "Why, is the prince doubting the authenticity of this battle?"
The prince was about to explain, but Chu Ning beside him laughed and said, "Brother Prince, I think even if there are 200,000 pigs, you will have to kill them for half a month."
Feng Mulan was immediately furious, pointing at the prince's nose and yelling, "Well, we are serving our country on the front lines, fighting to the death and killing the enemy, but you, the prince, are doubting us behind our backs!
If you doubt that this war is fake, then go to the front line and see for yourself, or you can go to the battlefield yourself next time."
In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, Feng Mulan did not give the prince any face and started scolding him.
The prince looked extremely unhappy.
I am obviously not the only one who has doubts, why do you have to scold me?
No, we can't leave those other guys out.
The prince's face was full of sternness, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter is not only suspected by me, but also by several of my brothers."
The Second Prince and others' faces changed drastically.
Just as they were about to open their mouths to explain, they were greeted with a barrage of criticism from Feng Mulan.
"Okay, I didn't expect you all to doubt this battle!"
Feng Mulan gritted her teeth and spoke, a hint of anger flashing in her beautiful eyes: "Next time if the enemy invades again, I will ask my father to report to His Majesty and ask you all to go to the battlefield."
The second prince suddenly panicked.
Feng Anguo is my own man. If Feng Anguo really recommends him to my father, won’t I really have to go to the battlefield?
"Ms. Feng."
The second prince smiled and said, "We are not questioning it, but we think it is incredible that an army of 200,000 was wiped out in such a short time."
The fourth prince nodded in agreement: "Yes, we have no intention of targeting Miss Feng."
Even the usually calm and wise Eighth Prince smiled and explained: "We are just expressing our thoughts, not intentionally making things difficult for Miss Feng."
Feng Mulan glanced at the four people coldly and snorted: "This battle is a plan arranged in advance by the King of Chu. The enemy troops are divided into two groups. One group will be ambushed by our army, and the other group will be raided by our army and destroyed by fire attack.
Since you don't believe it, then please order your majesty to bring Zhao Wuji to the prison for questioning. I believe that if this person exists, you should no longer have any doubts, right?"
When these words were spoken, the prince and others were shocked.
Zhao Wuji was the third prince of the State of Zhao. If even this man was captured alive, then the Zhao army must have been annihilated, otherwise it would have been impossible for Zhao Wuji to be captured given his identity.
The emperor of course understood this, and immediately laughed and said, "So Zhao Wuji was also captured by you, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Then, the emperor's face straightened and he glared at the prince and the others: "Do you believe it now?"
The prince and others didn't dare to speak.
At this time, Chu Ning stood up and said with a smile: "Father, since this matter has been confirmed, should we talk about the military order next?"
