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

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!"

He Peng came into the hall, bowed and saluted with a very respectful attitude.

The Fourth Prince stared at He Peng closely but said nothing.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The Fourth Prince held the teacup and let He Peng bend over and sip the tea slowly.

Only after finishing his tea did the Fourth Prince put down his teacup, pretending to be unaware of what had happened, and said in surprise:

"Eh? Why is Lord He still bending over? Hurry up and speak."

At this moment, He Peng was already sweating profusely, his legs were trembling, he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly straightened up: "Thank you, Fourth Prince."

Chu Ying laughed: "What is there to thank? You should go and congratulate the prince now. If you take down the position of Imperial Censor, he can get the officials of the Imperial Censorate to impeach me."

He took a deep look at He Peng and sneered, "The prince is really good at this today. He even dared to send troops into the palace.

This plan must have come from Lord He, right? "

There was a cold murderous intent in his words.

Even at a distance, He Peng could sense the Fourth Prince's murderous intent towards him.

He Peng knew that if he didn't give a good answer, he would probably die here today.

Taking a deep breath, He Peng tried to calm himself down.

"Your Highness, to be honest, this plan was indeed made by me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Yushan and Liu Yunqing's faces suddenly turned gloomy.

If it weren't for He Peng's plan, they would have definitely been able to take the position of Chief Censor today.

Chu Ying sneered and picked up the empty teacup in his hand, ready to throw it down at any time.

"Very good, you are honest enough to admit it!"

Chu Ying narrowed his eyes and stared at He Peng: "I am very curious, why do you dare to admit this in front of me!

Actually, if you don't admit it, I can't do anything to you, right?"

The reason why Chu Ying did not immediately take action by smashing the cup was that he was waiting for He Peng's explanation.

Since He Peng dared to come here alone and dared to admit it, there must be a reason.

Sure enough, He Peng said solemnly, "The King of Chu has left the capital, and the situation in Kyoto City will definitely be a confrontation between you and the Crown Prince!

Either you will make the first move or the prince will make the first move, and one of you will definitely fail.

I asked the Crown Prince to dispatch troops into the palace. Although this helped the Crown Prince successfully take the position of Chief Censor, it also planted the seeds of disaster for him!

Once His Majesty hears about this, he will surely be furious.

And if Your Highness can defeat the Crown Prince in the next fight, or even kill him, His Majesty will not blame you, but will only think that you were forced to act.

By then, the crown prince will be dead, the King of Chu will be far away in Zhao State, and the other princes in the city will be powerless to fight with you. The position of crown prince will definitely be yours!"

The Fourth Prince, who was originally angry, suddenly brightened up his eyes and slowly placed the teacup in his hand on the table.

Although he didn't want to admit it, what He Peng said was indeed true.

Sending troops into the palace without the emperor's permission is undoubtedly treason.

In addition, the prince has offended so many court officials today. If he kills the prince in the future, these officials will plead for him.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince suddenly laughed out loud: "It turns out that Lord He did all this for me. I was wrong about you."

"Come here, give me a seat!"

Compared to the depression just now, the atmosphere is much more relaxed at this moment.

After He Peng sat down, he said in a deep voice: "Fourth Prince, now the Crown Prince has asked the Ministry of Justice to cooperate with the Censorate to collect the mistakes you have made during this period. Once this is completed, the Crown Prince will definitely report you for your inability to govern the country!

By then, when His Majesty learns of this, he will definitely let the Crown Prince govern the country, and your advantage will be gone."

The reason why the Fourth Prince can compete with the Crown Prince at this moment is entirely because of the matter of Regent.

Once the Emperor orders the abolition of the regent and replaces him with the crown prince, the Fourth Prince will be no match for the crown prince.

The Fourth Prince certainly understood this, and his expression suddenly became somewhat ugly.

"Humph, as a prince, you actually schemed against your own brother like this. You really are unworthy of being a prince!"

The fourth prince snorted coldly: "My three lords, what do you think?"

The prince came with great momentum, and there were 30,000 Sizhou soldiers in the city. The situation was already very unfavorable for them.

Mo Yushan, the Minister of Personnel, sighed and said, "Fourth Prince, if possible, you should negotiate with the Crown Prince.

The situation is now in the prince's favor. If the prince finds any evidence against us again, he will definitely deal us a fatal blow.

It would be better for both sides to negotiate peace. "

But as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yunqing frowned and said, "Master Mo, this is wrong. You just said that the Crown Prince has the upper hand. Under such circumstances, how could the Crown Prince easily agree to peace?"

"This..." Mo Yushan was speechless.

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, turned to look at He Peng and asked, "What do you think, Lord He?"

He Peng sneered: "It is impossible to make peace. I know the prince's character. The more advantages he has, the more he wants to expand his advantages!

What’s more, the prince has already taken action. Does he have to order the action to stop now?

The only way is to strike first and trap the prince in advance!"

The fourth prince's eyes lit up: "So, Lord He has a plan?"

He Peng said in a deep voice: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince can order someone to write a joint impeachment memorial, but this matter must not be inadvertently known to the Crown Prince, otherwise the Crown Prince will definitely intercept it halfway.

As long as we make preparations in advance, we will be able to capture the prince's men. When the time comes, we can make them confess and prove the prince's guilt!

Once this matter reaches His Majesty's ears, do you think His Majesty will spare the prince?

By then, even if the crown prince is not deposed, he will be imprisoned!

Once the prince loses power, it will be easy for you to deal with him!"

The fourth prince's eyes lit up and he stood up excitedly: "Great, great, the joint impeachment memorial is a bait to lure the crown prince into taking action!

Now that the prince is surrounded by many soldiers, he will definitely be unable to resist taking action. As long as we capture the prince's men, interrogate them outside the city and make them confess, father will definitely punish the prince severely!"

The Fourth Prince paced back and forth in excitement, "No matter how Father punishes the Crown Prince, I have a great chance to take him down!

This is a great plan. Lord Liu, Lord Mo, the two of you will be responsible for contacting the officials and completing the joint impeachment as soon as possible.

Lord He, I'm sorry to bother you with revealing the news. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to gain the trust of the prince!"

He Peng stood up with a determined look on his face and said in a deep voice: "The prince is incapable of protecting my He family, and he couldn't even get my son's body back. I have long given up any hope in him.

This time, I am assisting the Fourth Prince just to revive the He family. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my best to handle this matter!"

After saying this, He Peng bowed, turned around and left.

But what he didn't know was that Liu Yunqing was staring at his departing back, frowning and saying:

"Your Highness, can this man be trusted?"
