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

Chapter 578: Is face more important or is going down in history more important?

The emperor looked at Chu Ning's disappearing back and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly!

"Is he threatening me?" the emperor gritted his teeth.

It's actually easy to ask him to think carefully?

What is this if it's not a threat?

The emperor, who was getting angrier and angrier, clenched his hands suddenly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "My two beloved ministers, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

The Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister sensed the murderous intent in the Emperor and were shocked.

"Your Majesty, you must not take action at this moment!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the situation on the front line is favorable to our dynasty. If we attack the King of Chu at this moment, the situation on the front line will definitely fail!"

"The front line is full of Bingzhou soldiers and horses. If something happens to the King of Chu at this moment, they will definitely rebel."

"The Bingzhou troops are different from other troops. They are raised entirely by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. They are not very loyal to the court."

The two of them talked back and forth, making the emperor's face gloomy.

How could the emperor not know these principles?

But he couldn't stand Chu Ning's attitude, nor could he accept the fact that the soldiers on the front line didn't listen to him.

Even if that army was raised by Chu Ning, they were still the army of Chu. How could they not obey the orders of the court?

The emperor, who was getting more and more angry, snorted coldly: "Do I have to let Chu Ning and I do what he wants? He is now asking to transfer officials from Bingzhou to govern Zhao State. It is obvious that he wants to occupy Zhao State!"

The emperor is not stupid, so how could he not know Chu Ning's purpose.

Once all the officials governing Zhao State are from Bingzhou, the imperial court will have no control over Zhao State in the future.

But the Grand Tutor smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, we can only agree to the King of Chu's request first, and then slowly find a way to replace those people and gradually control the State of Zhao."

Yang Wende also suggested: "The current situation is not favorable to the court. We can only rely on the King of Chu first. Once Zhao is completely conquered, the court will have many ways to regain control of Zhao. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much."

The emperor fell silent upon hearing this.

If the emperor agreed to Chu Ning's request, it would be tantamount to bowing to Chu Ning, which would make him feel ashamed.

But if he refused, once something happened on the front line, the emperor's wish to leave his name in history would be completely ruined.

He might even be written as a tyrant by historians!

Such a good situation cannot be ruined in his hands.

On the one hand, it was a matter of his own face, and on the other hand, it was a matter of making his name known in history, which made the emperor somewhat difficult to decide.

Although he knew that what the two ministers said made sense, the emperor was unable to make a decision.

After a long while, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Let me think about this matter!"

"Zhao Ming!"

"The old slave is here."

"Send someone to see what Chu Ning is doing. I want to know his every move."

"Yes!" Zhao Ming responded and immediately stepped back to arrange for shadow guards to follow him.

The Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister looked at each other and then bowed at the same time: "Your Majesty has worked hard all night. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave."

The emperor nodded slightly, and the two of them turned and left.

After leaving the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, the two looked at each other again, their faces full of helplessness.

"Sir Yang, why do you think His Majesty does not agree to the King of Chu's request?" The Grand Tutor frowned and asked first.

Yang Wende sighed: "How can a ruler be easily threatened? Especially when it is his own son?"

The Master came back to his senses.

In the end, the emperor couldn't let go of his pride.

"Ah~"

With a long sigh, the Grand Tutor shook his head and said, "The situation on the front line is so good. I hope Your Majesty will not turn a good thing into a bad thing."

In their view, face issues are not as important as conquering Zhao State. As long as they can capture the capital of Zhao State, they will be famous in history. What a great achievement!

Face seems insignificant compared to such achievements.

But Yang Wende shook his head: "Some things are difficult for us to understand unless we stand at your Majesty's level. Let's just wait and see what happens."

The Grand Tutor nodded: "That's the only way, but the prince was beaten last night, I want to go over and take a look."

"I will go with the Master."

"please!"

The two of them went to the East Palace together to visit the beaten prince.

At this moment, Chu Ning returned to the Prince Chu's Palace.

Palace, living room.

The candle burned out, the wax dripped into a torch, but the eyes of the waiting person never left the hall door.

Shen Wanying, who had not slept all night, now looked tired, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked very haggard.

When the Chu Palace was surrounded by the four Xiahou brothers, she was always worried, but in order to stabilize people's hearts, she pretended to be calm and created a situation that the Chu Palace could cope with, so that the people in the palace could unite.

This time, the Xiahou family and Chu Ning fought fiercely outside the mansion for two days, and she did not have any rest because she was too worried about Chu Ning.

Staying up late for several days in a row made her look tired.

The maid Xiaoqing beside her couldn't help but persuade her: "Miss, you should go and have a rest first. If you continue like this, you will be in trouble."

Shen Wanying looked determined, shook her head and said softly: "How can I sleep well if I can't see the prince come back?"

Xiaoqing frowned and wanted to persuade him, but footsteps were heard outside the hall.

"The prince is back!"

Shen Wanying's eyes lit up and she immediately ran out of the hall.

When I arrived at the door of the living room, my eyes met with Chu Ning who came in.

Looking at the beauty waiting for him, Chu Ning raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Why didn't you take a rest?"

Before Shen Wanying could speak, Xiaoqing behind her pouted and muttered softly, "Why else? Of course I'm waiting for you."

Although the voice was small, Chu Ning heard it clearly.

Feeling Shen Wanying's concern, Chu Ning was moved. He reached out and held her in his arms, and comforted her softly:

"Didn't the king tell you to go and rest? Don't worry about other things. The king can handle it."

Shen Wanying smelled the familiar smell and couldn't help but hug his waist with both hands, saying softly: "Such a big thing, of course I have to wait for you to come back."

Chu Ning smiled slightly: "The matter has been resolved. This prince has been appointed as the general, Lord Feng as the Minister of War, and General Han Xing as the Vice Minister of War."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Wanying's heart was finally at ease. Once her tense nerves relaxed, she could no longer hold on and fainted in Chu Ning's arms.

Feeling that the beauty in his arms was motionless, Chu Ning couldn't help but look down.

Noticing that Shen Wanying had her eyes closed and remained silent, he reached out and felt her pulse. He was relieved to find that she had fainted simply from overwork.

Chu Ning picked up Shen Wanying by the waist and walked towards the backyard while ordering: "Xiaoqing, immediately order someone to collect the money in the mansion. This king will need it!"

"Yes!" Although Xiao Qing didn't know what Chu Ning was going to do with the silver, she immediately went down to make arrangements.

Soon, the entire Chu Palace became bustling.

And this matter soon spread to the palace.

Half an hour later, in the Imperial Palace, inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After listening to Zhao Ming's report, the emperor showed a look of surprise on his face: "Strange, what is Chu Ning doing with the silver?"

Zhao Ming said cautiously: "Your Majesty, does the King of Chu want to go to Zhao State, so he wants to take all the silver away?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's face changed drastically!
