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

In the court, the ministers pressed forward.

No one wants to take over the mess in Zhao State.

Chu Ning looked at the indignant ministers with neither joy nor sadness on his face. He was not surprised by this.

All of this is under his control.

He has made all the necessary preparations to come to the court today.

Seeing that everyone was panicking at the moment and asking him to go to Zhao State to quell the rebellion, he couldn't help but sneer:

"My lords!"

As soon as Chu Ning opened his mouth, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"You want me to quell the rebellion. It's not that I can't do it, but it's too difficult!"

Chu Ning looked around at his ministers and said calmly, "Zhao State is not part of the Chu State. The people hate our dynasty for destroying their country. It is not easy to govern this place.

Now that the rebels have revived and have the support of local people, it has become even more difficult to govern and quell the rebellion.

In addition, Han Xing and Di Wenyao were attacked and are unable to handle military and political affairs, which has caused the morale of our Bingzhou troops to be low.

As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, this battle is bound to be a tough one!

However, for the sake of the State of Chu, the imperial court, and my father, I am willing to resolve this matter.

However, the court must agree to a few of my requests, otherwise I will never deal with this matter."

When they heard Chu Ning was going to make a request, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone knows that Chu Ning likes to take advantage. This time, he must want to ask the court for some silver, just like before.

If it were in the past, when the treasury was empty, they would definitely not agree.

But now that the court is wealthy, what's wrong with giving Chu Ning some silver?

As long as the rebellion in Zhao can be suppressed, everything will be fine!

The prince was the first to speak out: "Eighteenth brother, if you have any requests, just ask!"

The fourth prince Chu Ying was no less enthusiastic, fearing that he would be overshadowed by the crown prince, and continued, "Yes, as long as brother Chu can handle this rebellion, the court will definitely satisfy your demands!"

Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "This is what the two brothers said in front of everyone, I believe they will not regret it.

In this case, I will not be shy and will speak frankly.

The first requirement is that if we want to quell the rebellion, we must solve our own morale problem, so we must give an explanation for the matter of General Han Xing and Lord Di Wenyao. "

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted.

It turns out that Chu Ning wanted to use this incident to protect Han Xing and Di Wenyao!

Knowing is one thing, but whether to reject is another.

If he refuses now, Chu Ning will definitely not go to quell the rebellion. If something goes wrong in Zhao State and the emperor blames him, who will bear the responsibility?

Of course they are the ones who will bear the responsibility!

And what Chu Ning said does make sense.

Han Xing was the commander-in-chief of Bingzhou's army, in charge of an army of 100,000.

Di Wenyao was the governor of Bingzhou, in charge of Bingzhou's finances.

With both of them in trouble, how can the morale of the soldiers on the front line be improved?

The fourth prince Chu Ying raised his eyebrows, turned his eyes, looked at the crown prince and asked, "What do you think, crown prince brother?"

You like to be in the spotlight? Well, then you take charge of this matter.

If the emperor is not satisfied in the future, the responsibility will of course be borne by the prince.

The prince's face changed, knowing that he had been tricked by the Fourth Prince again.

I cursed you in my heart, but I still looked calm on the surface:

"I think what Brother Chu said makes sense. Han Xing and Di Wenyao can affect the morale of the front line. We really can't investigate them at this moment."

Chu Ying nodded slightly: "Since the prince brother agreed, I naturally have no objection. Eighteenth brother, tell me your second request."

Chu Ning just said that he had several requests, but he only mentioned one now.

Given Chu Ning's personality, he will definitely ask for a huge amount.

Seeing Chu Ying being so sensible, Chu Ning smiled, pointed at Wei Xun, and said calmly:

"Since the court has decided not to hold Han Xing and Di Wenyao accountable, the matter of hiding the spoils of war will end here. Should the people in the Censorate give an explanation?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed slightly.

They had heard that Chu Ning held a grudge.

This was the first time they had seen a situation where a grudge was taken on the spot.

Wei Xun's face changed drastically, knowing that he was in great trouble.

Since Chu Ning spoke up in public, he will surely not let this matter go easily.

Moreover, he keenly realized that the implication of Chu Ning's words was that he wanted all the officials of the Censorate to give an explanation.

In other words, Chu Ning was not targeting him alone, but the entire Censorate.

Upon realizing this, Wei Xun's face darkened. He slowly stepped out of the line and bowed respectfully to Chu Ning:

“Your Highness, the King of Chu, today I impeached Han Xing and Di Wenyao, and I did fail to supervise them.

But this matter was done by me alone, and the officials in the Censorate were only involved in it to give me a favor.

I am willing to retire and return home. Please, Your Highness, please do not embarrass other adults."

Wei Xun knew very well that in order to resolve this matter, sacrifices must be made.

The only thing he could sacrifice was his position as Imperial Censor.

Upon hearing this, other officials from the Censorate changed their expressions and began to try to persuade him.

"Master Wei, you can't leave. If you leave, who will take charge of the Censorate?"

"Yes, Lord Wei, if the Censorate is gone, can you still call it the Censorate?"

"At worst, I can go with you, Lord Wei!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, but Wei Xun looked righteous and said loudly: "My Lords!"

"The Censorate is not just mine. From now on, I hope you will abide by your duties, do your part, and don't get involved in other matters."

After saying this, Wei Xun suddenly took off his official hat, took off his official uniform, and placed them respectfully in front of Chu Ning.

"Is His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu satisfied?"

"Since Lord Wei has made such a sacrifice, I will naturally not pursue this matter any further!"

Chu Ning looked proud and did not try to persuade him to stay.

Wei Xun bowed to Chu Ning, then turned and left.

During the whole process, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince Chu Ying did not utter a word.

Because they knew very well that with Wei Xun gone, the position of Grand Censor would be vacant and their people could fill it.

If their people could become Imperial Censors, they would have a suitable reason to deal with officials under their opponents in the future.

Whoever gets the position of Chief Censor can threaten the officials in the court, which will be of great help in winning over other officials.

Therefore, they hoped that Wei Xun would be captured by Chu Ning.

However, Chu Ning had already made two requests, and their patience had reached its limit.

The prince raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Eighteenth brother, are you satisfied now?"

Chu Ning said calmly: "Brother Crown Prince, don't worry. I have one last request."

"No matter what I do in suppressing the rebellion of Zhao, you and the court are not allowed to interfere, otherwise I will give up my responsibility."

Such a request is neither excessive nor inappropriate.

What’s too much is that the court cannot interfere in the affairs of Chu Ning and Zhao State.

What’s not too much is that no one in the court dares to deal with this matter now, and Chu Ning wants to act arbitrarily!

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince could not help but look at the Fourth Prince, and then they nodded to each other.

"Okay, we promise you!"

The prince said in a deep voice: "But eighteenth brother, you must leave immediately to go to Zhao State to quell the rebellion."

"Not urgent!"

Chu Ning said calmly: "Words are not enough, I want you to sign a written agreement!"
