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

Prince Chu's Mansion.

Chu Ning's return made Shen Wanying and others overjoyed.

Ran Ming couldn't wait to get close and ask, "Your Highness, why did His Majesty suddenly let you come back?"

Shen Wanying also looked at Chu Ning with a puzzled expression, her eyes full of curiosity.

Under everyone's expectant eyes, Chu Ning took a sip from the teacup and said with a smile:

"Tenth brother was so eager to make a contribution that he found someone to pretend to be a witness and slander me, but I saw through his crime on the spot. This made my father completely disappointed in Tenth brother."

As soon as these words came out, Ran Ming laughed out loud: "This tenth prince is such a fool."

Liu Shouren, who followed Chu Ning back, changed his expression: "General Ran Ming, you can't say this carelessly. If the Tenth Prince hears it, I'm afraid something big will happen."

"What are you afraid of!"

Ran Ming rolled his eyes: "I'm not afraid of him. He framed Your Highness this time, and I haven't even settled the score with him yet."

Speaking of settling accounts, Ran Ming's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chu Ning, expectantly asking, "Your Highness, are we going to settle accounts with the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince next?"

These two days have been so frustrating!

If Shen Wanying hadn't stopped him, Ran Ming would have gone to the Fourth Prince's mansion and made a scene.

The refined salt was stolen, which concerns the reputation of the palace. Of course, we can't just let it go like this!

Now that Chu Ning is back, of course he has to settle the accounts.

But Chu Ning raised his lips slightly when he heard this, revealing a hint of amusement: "There is no rush for the Crown Prince and Fourth Brother. I have plenty of time to play with them slowly.

The most important thing now is to find the murderer who killed Lord Wang and Myna. Wait, the king has come out, and some people will be anxious! "

After saying that, Chu Ning stood up, his face straightened, "I've been in the prison of the Ministry of Justice for two days, and I feel uncomfortable all over. I'm going to take a bath and have a good rest first. Sir Liu, you can go back and do what you need to do."

After saying that, Chu Ning stood up and walked towards the backyard.

Ran Ming was stunned: "Your Highness, what about me?"

Chu Ning's figure disappeared from sight, but his voice came: "You take the white horse cavalry and be on standby at any time."

"This……"

Ran Ming touched his head, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he had no choice but to turn to Liu Shouren for help:

"Master Liu, what does your highness mean by this?"

Liu Shouren narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful: "I don't know what Your Highness is going to do next, but since Your Highness asked you to be on standby at any time, I believe something will happen next, so just do it!"

After saying that, Liu Shouren turned and left, leaving Ran Ming alone standing there in a daze for a long time before going downstairs to prepare.

At this time, the Tenth Prince revealed his hideous side in the mansion.

The Tenth Prince’s residence, living room.

There were more than a dozen chairs on both sides, all of which were now full of people.

Those on the right are all wearing court robes of civil officials or people from aristocratic families, while those on the left are military generals wearing armor.

Sitting in the main seat, the Tenth Prince sat with a gloomy face and no expression.

After taking a quick look and finding that everyone was present, the Tenth Prince said coldly, "Everyone, I have been placed under house arrest by my father!"

Everyone was silent, and everyone knew the seriousness of the matter.

Once a prince is placed under house arrest, he will definitely become the target of attack by others.

Presumably, the Tenth Prince summoned him this time in order to make arrangements in advance.

However, when the Tenth Prince saw that no one was talking, a ferocious look appeared on his face: "Putting me under house arrest will make me completely lose the qualification to succeed the throne.

And with Chu Ning's character, he won't give up easily. Do you have any countermeasures?"

After the words fell, there was silence in the hall.

No one dared to speak at this time, and no one dared to easily bring bad luck.

Moreover, from the meaning of the Tenth Prince's words, it was obvious that he was targeting Chu Ning, and everyone felt a little scared.

It’s okay to deal with others, but when dealing with Chu Ning, not only is the chance of winning slim, but there is even the possibility of being retaliated by Chu Ning.

Everyone in Kyoto City knows that Chu Ning is not a person who will suffer any loss. If you offend Chu Ning, you will have a hard time.

As everyone was thinking, the Tenth Prince sneered, "You're all silent, right? Are you scared now?

Humph, don't forget, I have already taken action against Chu Ning, and even asked my father to imprison him in the Ministry of Justice. Given his personality, how could he let it go? "

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Yes, they have already taken action against Chu Ning.

Even Deng Hongwen frowned and looked thoughtful at this moment.

Seeing that no one was talking, Deng Hongwen had no choice but to stand up and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, what you said makes sense. Now that we have shot the arrow, there is no turning back.

If we have to take action, we have to do it as soon as possible and not delay any longer, otherwise the situation will be unfavorable to us!

Your Highness being placed under house arrest by His Majesty this time is equivalent to telling other ministers and aristocratic families that you have no chance of becoming the emperor!"

The Tenth Prince, who was already angry, had a cold look in his eyes, with a hint of cruelty flashing across them.

"Lord Deng has the same idea as me!"

The tenth prince stood up suddenly and said in a cold voice: "My Lords, we are all on the same boat now. If the boat capsizes, no one will have an easy life.

Now the only way is to get the boat across the river and everyone gets what they want!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, then stood up in unison and said loudly: "We are willing to follow Your Highness!"

The Tenth Prince then revealed a look of satisfaction: "Very good, with your help, this will surely succeed!

General Zhao, General Zhou, General Wang, you must take your men to wait at the gate of the imperial palace tonight. Once the gate is opened, you must immediately rush in and take control of the palace!

Lord Chen, Lord Li, and Lord Hu, the three of you will go to the palace tonight to meet our father, the empress, and the crown prince respectively to delay time.

This prince and Lord Deng will lead people to guard outside the palace and stop all the troops from going to the king's defense!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed drastically. No one had expected that the Tenth Prince would actually control the palace.

This is rebellion!

General Wang, who was wearing armor, immediately asked, "Your Highness, are you planning to control His Majesty?"

The tenth prince sneered: "This is my last chance. Since my father has put me under house arrest, I can only give him a taste of his own medicine!

As long as I control my father and the palace, I will immediately ask my father to abdicate. By then, it will be easy to deal with Chu Ning."

As long as he successfully ascends the throne, wouldn't it be easy to deal with a prince?

Although he was under house arrest by the emperor, everything would be fine as long as he became the emperor.

If you don't let me be the emperor, then I will seize the throne myself and become the emperor!

Everyone then understood that the Tenth Prince had such great ambitions.

It's not about dealing with Chu Ning, but about dealing with the emperor.

Directly usurp the throne and become emperor!

But Deng Hongwen suddenly asked, "Your Highness is so confident, and he can even open the gate of the Imperial Palace. Is there an insider?"

The tenth prince laughed wildly, walked up to Deng Hongwen, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master Deng is really smart!"

"Yes, I have an insider. You just need to do as I say, and I will accomplish great things tonight!"

"As for the troops, don't worry. I have more than just these!"

This time, the Tenth Prince is finally going to show his strength!
