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

"Brother Crown Prince wants to protect He Peng?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and stared at the prince coldly: "It seems that if I don't use some tricks today, the prince brother will not hand over the person easily!"

"It just so happens that General Ran Ming has been wanting to stretch his muscles these past few days. Let's take this opportunity to have a fight!"

Turning to look at Ran Ming, he said calmly: "The opportunity you want is here!"

Ran Ming laughed wildly, walked to the prince with majestic steps, and grinned: "Prince, do you want to fight with me?"

Looking at the man in front of him who was like an iron tower, and feeling the strong murderous intent from him, the prince couldn't help but twitch his lips, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

But soon, the prince's eyes were firm, staring at Ran Ming: "You dare to attack me? This is a serious crime of disobedience!"

Ran Ming's eyes widened: "He Peng killed the Fourth Prince, isn't that disobedience?"

This rhetorical question left the prince speechless.

Even Chu Ning looked at Ran Ming in surprise, wondering when this guy became so eloquent.

This was so well said that even the prince couldn't refute it.

But He Peng didn't want to surrender, and sneered: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince intended to plot against the Crown Prince, and I took action to protect His Highness the Crown Prince.

There are reasons for this. Even if Your Majesty knew about this, you would not punish me.

King of Chu, you led your troops back to Kyoto without permission. This is treason!"

In order to clear his name, He Peng focused his attention on Chu Ning.

He knew very well that he couldn't continue to get entangled, otherwise Chu Ning would definitely find ways to deal with him.

The best way to divert this matter is to drag Chu Ning into the water!

The prince reacted immediately, staring at Chu Ning with a sneer, "Master He is right, he did it to protect me, it was not disobedience at all!

It is you, Eighteenth Brother, who have returned at this moment and ignored the battle on the front line, that is a grave sin!"

The two of them sang in unison, and it really sounded like that.

Chu Ning stared at the two of them coldly: "I had expected that you would make excuses, but I didn't expect your reasons to be so shameless.

I have already pacified the war on the front line, so you don't have to worry about it.

As for transferring troops back to Beijing, it's just a normal deployment. Why are you making a fuss about it?

Now, I want to capture the murderer who killed my fourth brother. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy! "

Chu Ning didn't bother to talk nonsense. He waved his right hand and the soldiers behind him immediately rushed up.

The prince's face changed drastically, and he immediately ordered: "Come here, stop them!"

The Sizhou troops were no less powerful; they had just defeated the Fourth Prince and were thinking about getting promoted and making money; no one wanted to be interrupted at this time.

Even when facing the powerful Bingzhou troops, they can only muster up their courage and move forward!

When Liu Yunqing saw this scene, his eyes lit up and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

If a fight breaks out later, he can take advantage of the chaos to kill the prince and avenge the Fourth Prince, which can also be regarded as repaying the Fourth Prince's kindness!

The Fourth Prince has been killed, and he will definitely be liquidated next. He might as well take advantage of the opportunity now and give it a try.

Death is inevitable either way. If I can drag the prince down with me before I die, my life in this world will not be in vain!

However, just as Liu Yunqing was about to give the order to take action, two old voices suddenly came from a distance:

"Your Highness, Prince of Chu, please wait!"

"You two, please don't do anything!"

Amid the astonishment of the crowd, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister rode over on horseback and arrived in front of both sides before they started fighting.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" The two men dismounted and bowed.

Chu Ning put his hands in front of him, stood on his horse, and said nothing.

The prince raised his eyebrows and sneered, "You two gentlemen have come at the right time. The King of Chu wants to arrest Lord He, so please make the decision.

In addition, the situation on the front line is tense, but the King of Chu brought his troops back at this moment. This is deliberately giving the rebels an opportunity and is an act of treason! "

Let’s put a big hat on Chu Ning first!

If Chu Ning made an excuse, he could perfectly avoid the matter with He Peng.

If Chu Ning did not defend himself, he could use this as an excuse to unite the ministers in the court and other princes to deal with Chu Ning.

No matter what choice Chu Ning makes, the advantage is on his side!

A smug look appeared on the prince's face.

Although Chu Ning holds military power and knows how to do business, he is ultimately too young and is no match for him.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister looked at each other, feeling a little frightened.

At this moment, Chu Ning has returned with the Bingzhou troops. If he were to ask for punishment rashly, he would definitely offend Chu Ning and might even make him take risks.

The Grand Tutor sighed and said, "Your Highness is right, but this is a major matter that I cannot make the decision on. I will still ask Your Majesty to make the decision.

As for today's incident, one of the Four Princes has already died, and I, as an old minister, do not wish to see more blood."

He was smart enough not to be fooled by the prince, but he also did not directly refuse and offend the prince.

It will definitely take time to leave this matter to the emperor for decision. During this period, both sides can live in peace.

As for the situation on the scene, Chu Ning was impeached by the prince, so naturally he could not take any action, and the two sides ended the conflict here.

As long as there is no more fighting, today's matter will be settled.

Yang Wende immediately reacted upon hearing this and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Grandmaster, you are absolutely right. Please ask the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Chu to withdraw their troops."

If both sides withdraw their troops at this moment, they will be able to maneuver and resolve the crisis in Kyoto City.

The prince was naturally pleased to hear this, and pretended to be silent and said, "Since both adults feel this way, I won't say much!"

"Someone, put away your weapons!"

The Sizhou troops immediately retreated.

But Chu Ning said calmly with a cold face: "My two lords, I have just said that the rebellion in Zhao State has been quelled, but you have not received the news yet.

As for today's matter, if the prince hands over He Peng, it will be fine. Otherwise, I will not let it go!"

Yang Wende's face changed. Hearing the murderous intent in Chu Ning's words, he was shocked and hurriedly persuaded:

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu, please do not take action again. There are so many people from both sides here now. If you take action, I'm afraid it will affect the entire Kyoto city."

If a war really breaks out, no one will be spared. As the prime minister, Yang Wende certainly does not want to see this scene.

But at this time, Liu Yunqing, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Prime Minister, why didn't you show up when the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince were fighting just now, but instead come out to persuade them now?

Could it be that you deliberately let the Crown Prince kill the Fourth Prince just now? "

This statement is equivalent to labeling Yang Wende from a neutral party to a princeling!

Yang Wende's face changed drastically, and he turned around and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? You guys were fighting fiercely just now, how can I come here to persuade you?"

"is it?"

Chu Ning didn't wait for Liu Yunqing to speak, and sneered: "Then there will be fierce fighting here from now on, so there is no need to persuade me, Prime Minister!"

"Come here, arrest He Peng who killed the Fourth Prince immediately. Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!"

At the command, Ran Ming laughed wildly and swung his spear to kill!

After hesitating for so long, he finally couldn't bear it anymore!

When he heard that an attack was about to take place, he was the first to rush forward!
