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

Today's court was particularly lively because of Chu Ning's impeachment.

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne narrowed his eyes and a cold look appeared on his face.

The fingers tapping on the armrest moved rhythmically, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes as he looked at the prince who was already standing behind Chu Ning.

Although I don’t know why these people stand on Chu Ning’s side, the situation is clearly unfavorable to the prince.

If he didn't stand with the prince, the prince would definitely lose today's game.

Once the prince loses, Yang Yuntao will die!

Thinking of this, the emperor's tapping fingers suddenly stopped and his squinting eyes suddenly opened.

"You all think that Yang Yuntao is involved in the robbery, but the only evidence is Su Tingmei's one-sided statement."

The emperor said coldly: "Now Su Tingmei has led the Sizhou troops to Yunzhou. It is impossible to confront this person."

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately bowed and saluted: "Father, you are wise! How can you judge a person based on only one side of the story?"

Looking at Chu Ning, he sneered: "Besides, it is still unknown whether this is what Su Tingmei said. Maybe it is just Eighteenth Brother talking nonsense!"

"Eighteenth brother, I know you never suffer any loss. You must feel uncomfortable about your money being robbed this time. But even so, you can't slander others at will!"

With the emperor's support, the situation turned around instantly, and the prince even wanted to sue Chu Ning!

Chu Ning looked at the prince who was bullying others by taking advantage of his power, with a hint of amusement on his face.

The emperor didn't express his opinion just now, and the prince felt as if he had eaten a dead fly.

Now the emperor seems to be inclined to support him, and he seems like a different person.

However, do you really think that the emperor can help and save Yang Yuntao?

"Brother Crown Prince said that I made a false accusation. Then show me the evidence of my false accusation!"

Chu Ning said calmly, "According to the laws of our dynasty, whoever reports the case must provide evidence!"

"Just like I impeached Yang Yuntao for leaking information, I produced Su Tingmei's confession."

Since you want to play, then I’ll play with you!

It's a false accusation, right? Show me the evidence.

The prince's face suddenly turned dark.

He just said this casually, but Chu Ning caught him and kept holding on to it.

Is this guy born in the year of the dog?

The prince had a dark face, staring at Chu Ning, clenched his hands, and said coldly: "Eighteenth brother, why are you so serious? I just want you to know how it feels to be impeached."

"Since there is no solid evidence, and Father doesn't want to make things worse, why don't we just stop here, okay?"

"not good!"

Chu Ning refused straightforwardly, turned his head and saluted the emperor: "Father, if this matter is not investigated thoroughly, it will definitely affect the morale of Bingzhou's soldiers!"

"As a general, I command all the troops in the country and have the authority to handle this matter. If you think the evidence is insufficient, I ask you to keep the troops from Liang Province!"

The emperor frowned and asked: "Why do you want to leave the Liangzhou troops behind?"

Chu Ning said calmly, "Although we are investigating who leaked the news, there are soldiers from Liangzhou in Jingdu City, I believe we can find out soon."

After these words were spoken, the emperor's face became extremely ugly.

Could it be that Chu Ning was deliberately impeaching Yang Yuntao, but actually wanted to use this incident to keep the troops in Liangzhou?

If this is true, then hasn't he been fooled?

No, we must not let the Liangzhou troops stay in Kyoto.

At this moment, the city defense camp has been taken over by Ran Ming, and the four city gates are also in the hands of the Liangzhou troops. Once Chu Ning does something, his life may be in Chu Ning's hands.

The troops from Liangzhou must return to Liangzhou!

Thinking of this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "It was decided long ago that the troops from Liangzhou would return. How can we change the order overnight?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and was about to speak, but the emperor interrupted him with his hand, "You kept them here just to investigate the robbery of the silver, why bother with so much trouble?"

"How about this, temporarily dismiss Yang Yuntao from his position as the Chief Justice of the Ministry of Justice, and you and the Minister of Justice Ling Haoran will investigate this matter together."

"Are you satisfied with this?"

If you want to change Chu Ning's mind, you can only solve the problem from the root.

Chu Ning just wants to find out the truth, so let him find out.

Rather than letting the Liangzhou troops stay, it would be better to sacrifice Yang Yuntao.

Although this has weakened the prince's power and prestige in disguise, as long as the prince rebuilds the Sizhou camp, he will be able to make up for this loss.

But the prince's face changed drastically when he heard this.

Chu Ning convinced his father with just a few words. Yang Yuntao was in danger this time!

At this moment, Yang Yuntao's face was full of disbelief. He didn't expect that he would be dismissed from his post!

But it is obvious that Chu Ning did not produce any substantial evidence.

Yang Yuntao, who was getting more and more annoyed the more he thought about it, suddenly kowtowed heavily and shouted: "Your Majesty, I do not accept it!"

"Dissatisfied?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes: "Why, are you questioning my decision?"

"I dare not...but..."

"enough!"

The emperor threw away his dragon robe and stood up suddenly. The aura of a superior emanated from his body and pressed down hard on Yang Yuntao.

"I don't want to hear your explanation. It's just a simple investigation. Why are you so resistant? Are you really guilty?"

How dare this person not listen to him? He is so bold!

Didn’t you see that Chu Ning wanted to keep the troops from Liangzhou? At this time, even if it is for the court, you, Yang Yuntao, should sacrifice yourself.

What a selfish person! He was trying to protect this person just now!

Thinking of this, the emperor took a deep breath and made a prompt decision: "Since you are guilty of your crime, it further proves that you are related to this matter."

"Lord Ling!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"This person is from your Ministry of Justice. You must not bend the law for personal gain. Investigate the facts!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Okay, this matter ends here. Chu Ning, you must immediately withdraw the troops from Liangzhou from Kyoto!"

The emperor knew Chu Ning's purpose. He had already made concessions, and it was time for Chu Ning to express his position.

Chu Ning's eyes rolled and he saluted: "Father, the soldiers of Liangzhou had a fierce battle yesterday and need to rest for three days."

The meaning was clear: he had to find evidence of Yang Yuntao's guilt within three days and bring him down.

Only after Yang Yuntao is captured will he let the troops from Liangzhou go back.

Before this, no one can let the Liangzhou troops leave Kyoto!

Such a tough attitude made the emperor look a little ugly. In front of everyone, Chu Ning not only did not give him face, but also threatened him in a roundabout way.

But unfortunately, he only had the imperial guards at his disposal at the moment, and he really couldn't do anything to Chu Ning.

Taking a deep breath, the emperor forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and looked at Chu Ning coldly:

"Three days. I'll give you three days. If the Liangzhou troops haven't left after three days, I'll hold you accountable!"

After saying this, the emperor turned around and left angrily.

All the ministers immediately bowed and saluted: "Farewell, Your Majesty (Father)!"

As soon as the emperor left, Chu Ning immediately looked at Yang Yuntao and sneered, "Master Yang, it seems that you can't go back home today. Come with me and Master Ling to the Ministry of Justice!"
