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

Chu Ning picked up a pen, wrote a note and handed it to Huo Quji next to him.

After taking a look at the document in his hand and finding no problems, Huo Quji then handed it to the Han Emperor Liu Che.

After reading it, Liu Che chuckled and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He then personally handed the three documents to Dou Lianyi.

Dou Lianyi took the three documents and read them carefully before nodding and saying with a smile, "Yes, they are indeed consistent with what the King of Chu said."

After she finished speaking, she took out a receipt from her sleeve and motioned to the maid beside her to give it to Chu Ning.

The maid held the certificate in both hands and handed it to Chu Ning in front of everyone.

Chu Ning took a look and found that it was indeed the receipt for a bet of one million taels of silver.

At this point, the transaction between the two parties was completed.

But at this moment, Cao Zhi suddenly stared at the evidence in Chu Ning's hand and laughed wildly, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

"You are a bunch of snakes and rats, colluding together to deceive this king."

"This is clearly a betting receipt. It turns out that the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty also placed a bet. No wonder I lost today!"

“Hahahaha, those poems were definitely not written by Chu Ning himself. They must have been written by someone sent by the Han Dynasty in advance!”

At this moment, Cao Zhi was like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

He has completely lost his mind and only wants to redeem his reputation.

As soon as these words were spoken, the officials around who did not know what was going on were suddenly in an uproar.

"That's indeed the betting voucher!"

“I didn’t expect the Queen Mother to place a bet. It looks like she’s betting on Chu Ning to win. Otherwise, how could Chu Ning exchange the city for this voucher?”

"No wonder the Empress Dowager has always favored Chu Ning. It turns out that she also placed a bet."

"If that's the case, the Empress Dowager might not be able to ask someone to write a poem in advance for Chu Ning to memorize."

For a moment, doubts arose.

Cao Zhi also seemed to see hope. He stared at Chu Ning and laughed wildly, "Chu Ning, I never thought that you would use such despicable means to defeat me!"

"Now that I have caught you colluding in public, what else do you have to say? I did not lose this competition, I did not lose!"

The affirmative tone seemed to prove his guilty conscience.

Chu Ning looked at Cao Zhi who was like a madman, and couldn't help shaking his head, and slowly uttered two words: "Fool!"

"You...you are indeed a bastard. You don't even know the most basic etiquette!"

Cao Zhi sneered: "Go ahead and keep scolding me. This will only make others look down on you even more!"

"is it?"

Chu Ning grinned. "It's not certain who is looking down on whom. You keep saying that I am colluding with the Grand Empress Dowager, and the reason is that the Grand Empress Dowager is betting on me."

"Then I ask you, have you placed any bets? If you have, does that mean you are connected to me?"

Cao Zhi snorted coldly: "As the party involved, I naturally have to place a bet, which is different from the bet made by the Empress Dowager."

But Chu Ning was not willing to give up and pressed the issue, "All the civil and military officials in the court have placed bets. Do you think that I have any connection with all of them?"

"you……"

Cao Zhi was furious: "Don't confuse them. You know very well that they are not the same thing."

“It’s the same thing!”

Chu Ning said coldly: "I opened the market, and anyone can place a bet, so why can't the Empress Dowager?"

"Why, do you look down on the Queen Mother and think that she is a woman and cannot be bet on?"

As soon as these words came out, Dou Lianyi's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

Cao Zhi realized that Chu Ning was trying to trick him, and quickly retorted: "I have never said such a thing, don't slander me!"

"slander?"

Chu Ning's aura suddenly exploded, and his eyes became very cold. He walked towards Cao Zhi and asked sharply:

"You said that the prince and the Grand Empress Dowager were in collusion. Isn't this slander?"

"You said that the Empress Dowager arranged for someone to write a poem for me to recite in advance. Isn't this slander?"

The series of rhetorical questions made Cao Zhi difficult to cope with.

"you……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? You said that this king does not know etiquette. Do you think that you can violate etiquette by slandering this king casually?"

Chu Ning came to Cao Zhi with a cold face and said harshly: "You are a person who doesn't even have a gift. What qualifications do you have to criticize me here?"

"You lost both of today's contests, one in literature and one in martial arts. You should go back and reflect on yourself instead of barking here!"

After saying this, without waiting for Cao Zhi to refute, Chu Ning turned to look at Dou Lianyi, bowed his hands and said seriously:

"Grand Empress Dowager, this person is so rude. I suggest that he be expelled!"

Today, he was going to use Cao Zhi's method to deal with this person.

It is more interesting to treat others in their own way!

Today, Cao Zhi has been defeated in literary talent and is inferior to his opponent in martial arts.

If we drive this person away at this moment, it will definitely be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

He will never show mercy to anyone who dares to offend him.

You were shouting "illegitimate child" just now, let's see if you can still shout it out now!

At this moment, Chu Ning had the upper hand.

Sitting in the main seat, Dou Lianyi, who had just gained the benefit, narrowed her eyes and quickly calculated the gains and losses in her mind.

Obviously, it is in her best interest to cooperate with Chu Ning now.

And Cao Zhi was just a talented person who was trampled underfoot.

No, from today on, the title of the number one talent will no longer exist.

Thinking of this, Dou Lianyi's turbid eyes suddenly opened, emitting a cold light.

"The King of Chu is right!"

Dou Lianyi said in a cold and resolute tone, "King Chen of Wei has repeatedly caused trouble, and now he is slandering me in public."

"From now on, our dynasty will no longer recognize his title as the world's greatest talent."

"Someone, come and expel these three people from the Wei Kingdom!"

After hearing these words, Cao Zhi was stunned and stood there in a daze.

He didn't understand why things turned out like this.

Liu Ye, the Minister of Rites of Wei, turned pale and stepped forward to apologize: "Grand Empress Dowager, Your Highness Prince Chen is young and hot-tempered. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

"Haihan?"

Dou Lianyi sneered: "No need, come on, what are you waiting for, drive them out!"

At the command, the imperial guards who had already entered immediately stepped forward.

"You three, please!"

After all, they are a delegation from another country, so it is impossible for them to use violence right from the start.

But if these three people don’t leave, they will definitely take action!

Seeing this situation, Liu Ye could only sigh helplessly and winked at the Dian Wei. The two of them pulled Cao Zhi away from the left and right.

Seeing this, Chu Ning laughed and bowed, "The Empress Dowager is wise and powerful!"

Dou Lianyi took a deep look at Chu Ning and said calmly, "King Chu, you have defeated King Chen this time, so you must be careful next time."

She was reminding Chu Ning to be careful of cornered things.

Chu Ning smiled slightly and said, "Grand Empress Dowager, please rest assured. I have my own plan to deal with it."

"There is one more thing. Since I have defeated Cao Zhi today, I should also give up the title of the world's most talented scholar."

"I hereby declare that my Chu State no longer recognizes Cao Zhi as the most talented person in the world."

After saying that, he turned to look at the other dynasty envoys and asked, "Everyone, how about you?"

Strike while the iron is hot!

Since I have already made an enemy with Cao Zhi, I will completely crush my enemy to the ground!

He wanted to take away what Cao Zhi was most proud of!
