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

"Finish this matter?"

Chu Ning's eyes were cold as he scanned the four people one by one: "Come here like this, you admit that you blocked my reinforcements today!"

The prince was about to deny it, but Chu Ning did not give him a chance to refute. He snorted coldly: "In this case, there is no need for me to be polite to you!"

"Now you are the ones who are willing to pay a price. I am not forcing you to do so, right?"

Yang Yuntao nodded quickly: "If it can calm the King of Chu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to contribute to the harmonious coexistence between brothers."

No one else can describe the word "apology" in such a pure and elegant way.

Chu Ning glanced at this person and sneered, "You are good at talking, but your words also remind me that we should live in harmony at this moment, so as not to be taken advantage of by others."

After a pause, Chu Ning pointed to the ten princes' guards outside and said in a deep voice: "In today's battle, the ten brothers' guards have contributed a lot. I can't let them work in vain."

"How about this, the four brothers take out 100,000 taels of silver and give them to them."

These words made the prince and the other three feel relieved.

Although 100,000 taels of silver is a lot of money, when divided among four people, it is only a little over 20,000 taels per person.

This little bit of silver was nothing to these princes.

"Okay, I promise you, I will send someone to deliver the silver to the Prince of Chu's Palace in a while!"

After the prince finished speaking, he turned and left, wanting to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

But Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Crown Prince, I didn't say that this is the only request."

The departing figure paused, the prince's face darkened, he turned around and stared at Chu Ning: "Are you kidding me?"

Chu Ning shrugged, with a playful look on his face: "I dare not play tricks on you, Prince. It's you who are too anxious and want to leave before I can finish what I'm saying."

If there is a chance to trick the other party, of course you can't let it go easily.

Although we cannot take direct action against these four people now, we must make them pay a heavy price.

You want to cover up this matter with just 100,000 taels of silver?

Go dream!

The prince realized that the matter was not as easy to resolve as he had imagined, and his already gloomy face turned even darker.

"If you have something to say, please say it quickly. I'm waiting to return to the palace to report this matter to my father!" The prince was very unhappy.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning's eyes turned, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and then he shook his head: "Brother, I haven't thought about it yet."

"You..." The prince was so angry that his veins popped out, and he wanted to punch Chu Ning's smiling face.

Fortunately, Yang Yuntao quickly interrupted and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu hasn't thought of it, why don't we wait until you think of it?"

"Makes sense!"

Chu Ning looked at Yang Yuntao with admiration: "Master Yang is still good at talking!"

"Four brothers, what do you think?"

The prince glanced at the fourth prince and the other three and nodded.

The situation was such that they had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, tell me when you think of it!"

The prince snorted coldly: "But I have to be frank with you. If your request is too excessive, we will not agree to it."

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious look: "Don't worry, my request is definitely within the capabilities of you brothers."

"It better be so!"

The prince flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave, but then he thought of something and stared at Chu Ning and asked, "Are you done?"

He was afraid that Chu Ning would stop him if he wanted to leave.

Every failure makes you wiser. Having lost someone once, you can’t lose them again, right?

Chu Ning shrugged: "Since the prince has agreed to my request, the matter is settled."

The prince snorted coldly, turned around and left without saying a word.

Yang Yuntao bowed to Chu Ning and said with a wry smile, "I will take my leave."

The other three princes looked at each other and then left.

After everyone left, Ran Ming said indignantly: "Your Highness, I think it would be better to take this opportunity to kill them all!"

Chu Ning rolled his eyes at him and said, "If we can kill them, do you need me to tell you? Don't forget where we are. This is Kyoto City. Nothing can be hidden from my father's eyes.

Once this prince really takes action, father will definitely not stand idly by."

Liu Shouren on the side also explained with a smile: "General Ran Ming, don't worry, this matter is not completely over yet."

Ran Ming's eyes lit up: "I know that Your Highness is not someone who will suffer losses. Your Highness, tell me, what should we do next?"

Chu Ning shook his head and ignored him. He turned and looked at Su Tingmei who had been silent.

"Mr. Su, we can continue."

Chu Ning asked calmly, "Tell me, who are you colluding with, and from whom did you get the news that the king wanted to transport silver?"

Although he was interrupted by the arrival of the prince and others, Chu Ning did not forget about it.

Although the mastermind was Su Tingmei, Chu Ning knew that there must be other people colluding with her.

All those who took action this time were Xiahou Ren's subordinates, and there must be people hiding in the city.

If these people are not found, they will definitely become a serious problem in the future.

The reason why he agreed to Su Tingmei's request and gave the Sizhou soldiers a chance of survival was for this group of hidden people.

The Xiahou family has been operating in Kyoto City for many years, and their influence is spread throughout the army. Except for Su Tingmei, no one knows what positions these people hold now, and whether they want to avenge the Xiahou family.

The Sizhou soldiers are just minions and are not a concern. It is the generals hidden in the army who are the cancer.

Must be cleared!

Su Tingmei sighed: "Is His Royal Highness the King of Chu trying to eliminate them completely?"

"Do you think I should keep them?" Chu Ning asked back.

Su Tingmei was silent for a moment, then shook her head helplessly: "In fact, there are more effective ways than eliminating them."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Chu Ning became interested.

Su Tingmei's face straightened: "I can give you a list of the generals involved in this matter. I don't care how His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants to punish these people."

"However, there are still some generals who have received favors from the Xiahou family but did not participate in this matter. I can also give the list to Your Highness, but please give you a way to survive."

Chu Ning sneered: "A chance to live? Why? Killing them can solve the problem once and for all, why should I give them a chance to live!"

Su Tingmei stared at Chu Ning with a serious face: "Your Highness Prince Chu's future achievements will definitely be more than this. If you can establish prestige in the army, you will definitely get more support in the future.

If you are willing to give them a chance to live, I can persuade them to be loyal to you."

After these words were spoken, a thoughtful look appeared on Chu Ning's face.

I have to say, this is indeed an attractive condition.

Since these generals did not participate in this matter, it means that they have the imperial court in their hearts. If they can subdue these people, their influence in the army will be further expanded in the future.

Su Tingmei is really amazing. With just a few words, she can buy a glimmer of hope for that group of people.

However, if one wants to keep those people who have received favors and support from the Xiahou family, then Su Tingmei's life must be saved.

But Su Tingmei happened to be the mastermind behind this incident, and the emperor would not let her off easily.

If you want to get the support of those generals, you must save Su Tingmei!

It seems that if we want to make this happen, we will have to submit a lot of memorials!

While he was deep in thought, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the barracks.

Then, Zhao Ming's shrill voice rang out: "The decree has arrived!"
