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

Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

The fourth prince Chu Ying had a gloomy face as he listened to He Qingshan's report.

"Your Highness, I have already said that I will search the area on your orders, but Your Highness the King of Chu not only disagrees, he even allows his soldiers to do so."

He Qingyun ignored the blood on the corner of his mouth, knelt on the ground and shouted: "For the sake of the overall situation, I dare not even take action."

"The King of Chu was so rude that he beat someone in the street. Although he beat a humble general, it actually brought shame upon your name, the Fourth Prince!"

"The King of Chu is so bold and reckless, Your Highness, please punish him severely."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ying, who was already dissatisfied with Chu Ning, frowned, slapped the armrest suddenly, stood up and angrily shouted:

"This is simply outrageous. He actually dared to allow his soldiers to commit murder at the gate of Kyoto!"

"Yes, the King of Chu is too bold and doesn't take you seriously at all!"

He Qingyun added fuel to the fire: "He obviously looks down on you, so he doesn't obey your orders."

"Now that Bingzhou's troops have destroyed Zhao, he has gained the reputation of being the most talented scholar in the world in Chang'an City, and he no longer cares about you, the Fourth Prince."

"Even though you are responsible for the regent, he still does not obey orders. If this continues for a long time, our dynasty will be laughed at."

Although these words were exaggerated, Chu Ying had to admit that they did make sense.

If we continue to allow Chu Ning to continue to develop, it will be difficult to deal with in the future.

At this moment, Chu Ning already had a large army under his command, and his prestige was so great that the people in the city lined the streets to welcome him.

If this continues, not only will he, the prince regent, be unable to control him, even the emperor will find it difficult to suppress Chu Ning.

If you want to suppress Chu Ning, this may be your last chance.

Thinking of this, Chu Ying's eyes turned cold: "This is simply lawless. I must ask him to give an explanation for this matter."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a voice from outside the palace: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister wants to see you."

"Didn't the Prime Minister accompany the King of Chu back to his palace? Why did he come here to see me?"

Chu Ying frowned, puzzled, but still said in a deep voice: "Let the Prime Minister come in."

With permission, Yang Wende walked in quickly.

Just as he was about to salute, he found that He Qingyun was already here. He was stunned for a moment, and then he returned to his normal expression:

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty the Fourth Prince!"

"Prime Minister, there is no need to be so polite. What made you so anxious to find me?" The Fourth Prince sat back in his seat and asked with an indifferent look.

Yang Wende smiled bitterly: "His Highness the King of Chu said that he killed Jia Yu and asked me to come and report this matter so that you can give an explanation to the Han Dynasty."

"Ah...he killed Jia Yu?"

Chu Ying, who was sitting down, was startled and couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Where is the body?"

Yang Wende followed Chu Ning's words: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said that Jia Yu led his assassins to attack him and Princess Changping, so he hated this man so much that he destroyed Jia Yu's body and destroyed all traces of it, resulting in no trace of Jia Yu's body."

Chu Ying, who originally didn't quite believe this, raised his eyebrows and actually began to believe it.

If someone else said that Jia Yu's body was gone, he would definitely not believe it.

But Jia Yu led his assassins to attack Chu Ning and almost killed Chu Ning. Given Chu Ning's temper and personality, it was absolutely impossible for him to leave his body intact.

However, this was exactly what he wanted.

Once this matter gets out, the Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom will definitely not let Chu Ning go.

As long as these two dynasties put pressure on him, he can use this matter as an excuse to take down Chu Ning!

Even if Chu Ning has a large number of troops, he still dares to take action.

As long as Chu Ning is captured first, the troops from Bingzhou and Liangzhou will not rebel for a dead person.

Thinking of this, Chu Ying snorted coldly: "Since Jia Yu attacked my eighteenth brother first, then the Wei State is wrong in this matter!"

"Kill him if you will. I will send someone to inform the Emperor of Han about this matter."

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "However, Jia Yu is, after all, a second-rank official of the Wei State, one of the Nine Ministers, and he holds a high position of power. If we kill him, we must give the Wei State an explanation."

"How about this, I will write a letter to the Emperor of Wei to explain this matter."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Wende's face changed slightly, and he quickly persuaded: "Your Highness, this matter only needs to be reported to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, why do you need to contact the Wei Kingdom?"

The matter was asked by the Emperor of Han Dynasty to be investigated, so of course they had to tell the Emperor of Han Dynasty when they had the results.

As for the State of Wei, they will certainly keep it secret as long as possible.

Otherwise, once the State of Wei knew about this, there was no guarantee that they would not take action.

Even if Wei's troops cannot defeat us, they will send assassins!

Therefore, this matter must not be known to the State of Wei.

But Chu Ying looked solemn and shook his head, saying, "My thoughts are exactly the opposite of the Prime Minister's!"

"It is impossible to conceal this matter. It is better to take the initiative to tell Wei about it to show our sincerity in not being an enemy of Wei."

"Otherwise, once Wei learns of this, they will definitely blame our dynasty, and by then, the situation will be out of control."

This set of rhetoric left Yang Wende speechless.

If he hadn't been concerned about Chu Ying's identity, Yang Wende really wanted to say: It's a farfetched statement!

There was nothing wrong in the first place, but you insisted on taking the initiative to tell the State of Wei about this. Aren't you just asking for trouble?

But Chu Ying was a prince after all, so Yang Wende couldn't say much and could only sigh.

"Your Highness, this is a serious matter. Please consult His Majesty."

He knew that he could not convince Chu Ying, so he could only hope that the emperor would come forward to deal with the matter.

"No need!"

Chu Ying refused without even thinking: "It's just a small matter, why bother father?"

"The construction of the mausoleum is at a critical time. We cannot disturb my father at this moment. Do as I say. If anything goes wrong, I will be responsible!"

"Well... well, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Yang Wende had no choice but to bow and leave.

Of course, he couldn't really remain indifferent, and he would definitely report the matter to the emperor secretly.

There are some things that we cannot let the Fourth Prince do as he pleases!

But Chu Ying knew it all very well. As she watched Yang Wende's departing back, a cold look appeared on her face.

Turning his head to look at He Qingyun who was still kneeling on the ground, Chu Ying showed a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth.

"General He, why are you still kneeling? Hurry up and stand up and talk."

He Qingyun said firmly: "If Your Highness the Fourth Prince does not punish the King of Chu, I will not get up!"

Chu Ying sighed, took the initiative to walk to He Qingyun, helped him up with both hands, frowned and said:

"It's not the right time to deal with Chu Ning, but it will be much easier to deal with the people around him."

"The Bingzhou troops conquered the Zhao State, but the spoils were never brought back. For this reason, Chu Ning asked Ni Heng to return to the court to explain."

"According to the time, this person should be arriving in Kyoto soon. General He can go outside the city to intercept him and convey my order to ask him to hand over the spoils."

"If he refuses, you will kill him on the spot for embezzling the spoils!"

The words were spoken with strong murderous intent.

He Qingyun's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "Your Highness, this is a good idea. If we can get rid of the people around Chu Ning, Chu Ning will become a lonely man in the future!"

"This time, the spoils of war are giving us the best chance to take action against him!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will personally lead the troops out of the city now!"

But just as he finished speaking, He Qingyun felt unsafe and frowned, "Your Highness, if Chu Ning discovers my whereabouts..."

"Do not worry!"

Chu Ying sneered and said, "I will summon Chu Ning now and ask him to explain the murder of Jia Yu, and you will take this opportunity to kill Ni Heng!"

What a good trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

He Qingyun reacted: "It turns out that His Highness had already made arrangements. I was just overthinking it!"

After saying this, He Qingyun bowed and left quickly.

He couldn't wait to get rid of the people around Chu Ning!
