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

The Tenth Prince and Xiao Tianming were tied up and taken to Yingwu Palace.

Looking at the civil and military officials in the court as well as his brothers, the Tenth Prince no longer had his former heroic spirit.

His hair was disheveled, his head was drooped, and there was a hint of death on his face.

Xiao Tianming on the side had a calm expression on his face, as if he already knew what would happen to him.

As soon as the two came up, the prince could not wait to step forward and scolded them: "How dare you two collude with each other, why don't you kneel down and apologize to your father!"

But the Tenth Prince laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Apologize? Why should I apologise?"

He stared at the Crown Prince and sneered, "Brother Crown Prince, you live in the palace, but you didn't send troops to support Father last night. But now you jump out. Do you want to steal the credit from Eighteenth Brother?"

Even if we fail, we can't let the prince and Chu Ning have an easy time!

Especially Chu Ning, last night's plan failed because of him.

If I could stir up a conflict between the Crown Prince and Chu Ning, it would be worth it even if I died.

When the prince heard this, he immediately became anxious.

He wanted to show off and appear in front of the emperor, but he didn't expect to be outwitted by the Tenth Prince.

"Old Ten, stop talking nonsense!"

The prince scolded coldly: "You have raised an army to rebel, which is extremely treasonous. Why don't you admit your mistake to your father?"

"Admit your mistake? Hahahaha!"

The tenth prince roared to the sky, and his laughter shook the entire Yingwu Palace.

When the laughter stopped, the Tenth Prince stared at the Crown Prince and said, "Why did I rebel? Wasn't it because you forced me to do so?

After Bage died, all the other brothers, led by you, wanted to divide Bage's property and even joined forces to suppress me!"

At this point, the tenth prince turned to look at the emperor and laughed angrily, "The one who caused all this is you, father!

If you hadn't allowed everyone to fight for power, how could things have turned out like this?

It was you who wanted us to become the stepping stones for the crown prince, and it was you who always wanted to balance the forces of all parties, but have you ever thought about us?

We are your sons too. You are not treating us as human beings at all. We are just your pawns!"

The Tenth Prince, who was getting more and more excited as he spoke, finally gave it his all. After he finished talking about the Crown Prince, he turned to the Emperor.

But he was not satisfied yet.

Seeing that the emperor had a gloomy face and didn't speak, he turned to look at Chu Ning beside him.

"Eighteenth brother, do you think that because you saved our father last night, he will look at you differently?"

The tenth prince shook his head and laughed: "No, you are wrong, absolutely wrong, I know who my father is better than anyone else!

Your timely rescue last night will only make my father wary of your strength, and he will definitely find ways to weaken your military power next time.

You, like me, are just a chess piece in the hands of my father. You will not be able to escape from his grasp."

After these words came out, the emperor finally couldn't help but roared: "Enough!"

"You are such a rebellious son. You have so many reasons to rebel. Do you think they will believe you?"

We can’t let the Tenth Prince continue talking. If he continues, a seed will be planted in everyone’s heart.

But the tenth prince still looked crazy, laughing wildly, "Father, you are anxious!"

"you……"

"Don't be impatient, Father. I still have a lot to say."

The tenth prince ignored him and said frantically, "Over the past six months, it was first the second brother, then the eighth brother, and now it's my turn.

Who will be the next one?

Is it the third brother, or the fourth brother? Or is it you, the eighteenth brother?"

Every time he called out a person's name, he would walk up to that person, looking like he was giving orders.

All the princes, except Chu Ning, lowered their heads and remained silent.

On the one hand, they could not refute the Tenth Prince's words, and on the other hand, they did not want the emperor to see their expressions at the moment.

Although he didn't want to admit it, what the Tenth Prince said was the truth.

The emperor wanted to balance the forces of all parties and wanted the princes to serve as stepping stones for the crown prince. This was an open secret.

However, although everyone understood it in their hearts, no one dared to say it out loud.

They could only do what the emperor wanted.

And, they had to do it!

The Tenth Prince was right, they were just pawns in the emperor's hands.

If you want to jump out of the chessboard, you can only kill the chess player!

The emperor looked at the silent princes, then at the nearly crazy Tenth Prince, and a cold expression appeared on his face:

"How dare the traitor Zi'an be so presumptuous? Come, take him out and execute him on the spot!"

If you keep talking, all your secrets will be exposed.

The Tenth Prince cannot be allowed to speak again. The only way is to kill him.

At the command, the imperial guards rushed in immediately.

But at this moment, the Tenth Prince suddenly roared: "Wait!"

The emperor frowned.

The Tenth Prince's eyes turned cold, and a look of determination flashed across them: "Before I die, I have something I hope your father can tell my mother."

The emperor was silent for a moment and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

After all, he is my son. I can't not even give him time to say a last word.

The tenth prince took a deep breath and said, "Tell my mother that I am unfilial and cannot serve her. I hope she can treat me well in the future."

After saying this, the Tenth Prince's eyes suddenly widened, his whole body aura suddenly exploded, and he roared: "My dear brother, I am here to see you!"

Then, before anyone could react, the Tenth Prince suddenly slammed hard into a palace pillar.

"boom!"

Blood splattered, and red and white objects scattered all over the ground, dyeing the majestic Yingwu Hall red.

The splattered blood splashed on the emperor's face, and the pungent smell of blood made him stunned for a moment.

But then the emperor reacted.

This rebellious son was actually crashed to death in Yingwu Palace!

How would he live in the future?

"Rebel!"

The emperor reacted and roared, "Come here, drag his body out, drag it out quickly!"

The imperial guards immediately stepped forward and carried the body out.

However, when the corpse passed in front of everyone, everyone saw the Tenth Prince's wide-open eyes.

Don't rest your eyes!

Even Chu Ning was a little stunned at this moment. He didn't expect that the Tenth Prince would end his life in this way.

However, the Tenth Prince’s words just now left a deep impression on him.

Are all princes stepping stones to the crown prince?

While deep in thought, the emperor's eyes were cold. He turned to look at Xiao Tianming and said coldly: "You have followed me for many years. I can give you a whole body."

Xiao Tianming knelt on the ground and said calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

After he finished speaking, he kowtowed three times and then there was no more movement.

Chu Ning frowned and went forward to check, only to find that Xiao Tianming had severed his meridians and died!

The fallen body symbolized that the Shadow Guard Commander had ended his tragic life.

The emperor looked at Xiao Tianming's body coldly and waved his hand: "Drag him out!"

The imperial guards came up and carried the body out.

The emperor returned to his seat, his eyes flashing coldly, and said in a cold voice: "All the rebels who refuse to surrender will be exterminated!

All the surrendered rebel troops will be handed over to Chu Ning and sent to the front line to redeem themselves for their crimes!"

After a pause, the emperor's expression eased a little, and he said calmly: "Next, it's time to talk about rewards."

After dealing with the rebels, of course, those who suppressed the rebellion must be rewarded.
