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

He Peng's suggestion shocked the whole audience!

The fourth prince Chu Ying also reacted after being stunned for a moment.

The Crown Prince came out in person, apparently intending to compete with him for the position of Chief Censor.

Chu Ying narrowed his eyes and a cold expression appeared on his face: "Brother Crown Prince also has his eyes on the position of Imperial Censor?"

"Can't you?"

The prince looked indifferent, turned his head and stared at Chu Ying: "Fourth brother, do you have any objection to this?"

Chu Ying said coldly: "The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, he should share his father's worries, and should not focus on the position of Imperial Censor.

Besides, so many people in the court support Lord Liu Yunqing to become the Imperial Censor, so Brother Crown Prince shouldn't compete with Lord Liu for the position, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the prince sneered.

“Although I am the crown prince, my father has asked you, my fourth brother, to be the regent. You are in charge of all the important affairs of the court, so I am very free now.

As for competing with Liu Yunqing for the position of Imperial Censor, that is even more nonsense. The matter has not been finalized yet, how can you say that I am competing with him?"

The two men exchanged sharp words, neither of them willing to give in.

The Grand Tutor and Prime Minister Yang Wende in the hall looked at each other, with a worried look on their faces.

Judging from the current situation of the two, the court today may not be peaceful.

Just as the two were frightened, Chu Ying's eyes turned cold: "Brother Crown Prince, do you want to make enemies with so many adults?

Now most of the ministers in the court want Lord Liu to take up the post of Imperial Censor, but the prince brother insists on interfering.

If the emperor knew about this, he would be unhappy, so you better not make him unhappy, Prince."

Relying on his large numbers, the Fourth Prince made no secret of his ambitions.

He wanted to take advantage of his large numbers to completely suppress the prince.

If the prince fails today, he will be the only one who has the final say in the court from now on.

How could the prince not understand Chu Ying's purpose? A hint of sarcasm appeared on his face, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled contemptuously:

"Fourth brother, are you trying to use our father to pressure me?"

"Don't say that the emperor is not here. Even if the emperor is here, I believe he will consider letting me serve as the Imperial Censor."

The prince pointed at Liu Yunqing and sneered, "Liu Yunqing only entered the court last year. Because he was the second place in the imperial examination, his official position is the third rank.

In just one year, my fourth brother wants him to become the Imperial Censor. Isn't this promotion too fast?

Speaking of which, Liu Yunqing seems to have a good relationship with my fourth brother. Does that mean my fourth brother gives priority to you when appointing people?

If the emperor knew about this, he would probably be unhappy, right? "

Who doesn't know how to use the emperor to pressure others?

What's more, he is the crown prince, so his words are certainly more intimidating than those of the Four Emperors who are princes!

Even though Chu Ying was the prince regent at the moment, he had to consider the consequences when faced with such words.

Sure enough, Chu Ying's face turned gloomy on the spot.

Seeing the prince so determined, he understood that today would probably not end well.

With a sneer, Chu Ying narrowed his eyes and stared at the prince: "With Lord Liu's talent and intelligence, there is no problem for him to serve as the Imperial Censor!

The Crown Prince deliberately brought up the relationship between the prince and Lord Liu, just to take advantage of the situation.

Since you and I cannot reach an agreement on this matter, let the adults present here decide. The minority shall obey the majority!

Those who support Lord Liu as the Imperial Censor stand on the right, those who support the Crown Prince as the Imperial Censor stand on the left, and those who have not yet made up their minds stand in the middle. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yunqing took the initiative to stand on the right.

Others who supported the Fourth Prince also followed.

He Peng glanced at the Fourth Prince, pondered for a moment, and finally stood to the left.

Seeing this, those who supported the prince followed suit.

Prime Minister Yang Wende and the Grand Tutor looked at each other, but neither of them moved. They just stood in the middle, remaining neutral.

The situation is unclear now and they cannot make decisions on their own.

However, behind the two men, several officials chose to remain neutral.

Yang Wende turned around and saw that they were all officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites.

At this moment, Lu Xiuwen finally understood why Chu Ning told him not to act rashly today.

It turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu already knew about it!

Lu Xiuwen and Yun Jianye looked at each other, and they both immediately realized that the King of Chu had already made arrangements.

Originally they were worried that the position of Chief Censor would fall into the hands of other people, but since the King of Chu had already made arrangements, he didn't need to worry.

This scene was seen by the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince and other princes, but they were not surprised.

All the officials of the Ministry of Revenue have been replaced by officials from Bingzhou, and these people certainly will not support either of them.

As for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, there was a major reshuffle after Deng Hongwen became the Minister of Rites, and many of them were replaced by people who supported Chu Ning.

The people from these two departments were not within their consideration at all.

Looking at the people who had already lined up, Chu Ying had a playful look on his face.

"Brother Crown Prince, I believe you have also seen that the majority of ministers now support Lord Liu. You have nothing to say now, right?"

Chu Ying looked very proud and said loudly: "My Lords, I hereby announce that the position of Imperial Censor will be held by..."

"and many more!"

The prince interrupted with a sneer, "Have I ever agreed to your so-called minority obeying the majority?"

Chu Ying's face changed slightly: "What do you mean by this, Prince Brother? Do you still want to continue to dwell on this matter?

In the past, when the emperor made important decisions, he would also consult the opinions of the adults. Why, do you think you are more capable than the emperor?"

Chu Ying would certainly not give up the advantage he had finally gained.

But the prince looked contemptuous and said, "Fourth brother, you are using our father to pressure me again. Now that our father is not in Kyoto, I have the final say!"

"You decide?"

Chu Ying snorted coldly: "I am the prince regent, and I have the final say on all matters of the court!"

"is it?"

The prince laughed loudly and suddenly shouted outside the palace: "Someone come!"

At the command, a group of soldiers in armor rushed in from outside the palace. They held spears in their hands and surrounded all the ministers.

This scene frightened all the ministers so much that their faces changed drastically. No one had expected that today would turn out like this.

Even the fourth prince Chu Ying was frightened to the point of turning pale. He stared at the crown prince and asked, "Brother Crown Prince, are you planning a rebellion?"

"Treason? What a big hat!"

The prince sneered: "I have no intention of rebelling, but you keep saying that the minority obeys the majority, so I will tell you what it means to have the minority obey the majority!

Now I have more people in the palace than you, and they all support me in taking on the role of Imperial Censor!

How about it, fourth brother, do you now understand what it means that the minority obeys the majority? Hahahaha!"

The prince smiled arrogantly, with a smug look on his face.

Today, he wanted to catch Chu Ying off guard!

Today, he is going to take the position of Imperial Censor!

Now, he wanted to let all the ministers know that from this moment on, he had the final say in Kyoto City!
