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

An hour later.

Chu Ning was in high spirits, sorting out his clothes as he came out of the East Palace.

At the door of the house, Ling Feiyan's face was flushed, and she stared at Chu Ning's departing back with a little resentment.

Thinking of what had just happened, she couldn't help but spit on Chu Ning's back.

At this time, the maid stepped forward and asked, "Crown Princess, why is your face red?"

Ling Feiyan's face straightened: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, go and prepare hot water for me immediately, I want to take a shower and change clothes.

In addition, news came out that the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince were dead, and the King of Chu took control of Kyoto City."

The maid was shocked and quickly bowed and went down to make arrangements.

At this time, Chu Ning had already left the palace and rode back to the Prince of Chu's Palace.

Three quarters of an hour later, in the living room of the Prince of Chu's mansion.

Ran Ming, Lu Xiuwen, Yun Jianye and Jia Yu were waiting in the hall. When they saw Chu Ning coming back, they all bowed at the same time:

"See His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Chu Ning walked to the main seat with a dragon-like gait, sat down, and nodded slightly: "No need to be polite, sit down and talk."

Everyone waited for Chu Ning to sit down before they dared to sit down.

"After today's morning court session, have the princes and ministers made any unusual moves?" Chu Ning looked at Jia Yu first and asked.

Jia Yu nodded and smiled, "As the King of Chu expected, all the princes gathered in the Third Prince's residence, seemingly discussing countermeasures.

As for other ministers, there has been no movement yet. The noble families in the city have not received any news yet, so they are also very quiet.

It was the old King of Qin who took the initiative to write a letter to Your Majesty together with the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor, but the content of the letter is currently unknown."

Chu Ning couldn't help but raise his lips slightly after hearing this, revealing a sneer: "Third brother thinks that he is the third oldest and the most likely to compete with me for the position of crown prince, so he took the initiative to invite other brothers to discuss countermeasures.

It seems that they still refuse to give up and want to fight with me. Humph, in that case, I will give them this opportunity!

Lord Jia, you take care of that matter. Remember, it must be kept secret!"

Jia Yu smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I have made all the arrangements and am just waiting for the fish to take the bait."

"very good!"

Chu Ning nodded with satisfaction: "You have always been very good at doing things, which makes me less worried."

He turned to look at Lu Xiuwen and Yun Jianye and said, "My Lords, you are now the Minister of Industry and the Acting Minister of Justice. Next, you need to deal with the affairs of your department!

As for the Ministry of Revenue, you select trustworthy people and I will promote them. I am sure that other ministers will not dare to object.

Before our father returns to the palace, what we have to do is to stabilize the court as much as possible and prevent the impact of the death of the crown prince and fourth brother from expanding.

During this period, Lord Yun will have to lead the criminal department officials to maintain stability. When my father returns to the palace, you will be able to relax. "

The two men's faces straightened when they heard this: "Your Highness Prince Chu, please rest assured, we will do our best to maintain the peace of Kyoto City!"

Chu Ning looked at the two of them with satisfaction: "I am relieved that you can handle the matter, but in order to prevent any accidents, I still have to make some arrangements.

Lord Yun, you will lead the officials of the Ministry of Justice to be responsible for the east of the city. Lord Lu, you will temporarily lead the city defense battalion to be responsible for the south of the city. Ran Ming, you will lead the 10,000 troops of Bingzhou to be responsible for the west of the city. I will lead the troops of Bingzhou to be responsible for the north of the city.

If you find someone causing trouble, arrest them immediately and don’t let them escalate the situation.”

"Yes!" The three of them bowed and accepted the order.

Although the city of Kyoto is relatively stable at the moment, this is because the deaths of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince have not spread.

Once the news spreads, who knows if it will cause unrest!

After all, many ministers and aristocratic families in the court are dissatisfied with Chu Ning. If they take the opportunity to cause trouble, it will be a troublesome matter.

In order to prevent the other party from taking action, Chu Ning had to strike first.

Now that he has the troops in his control, he only needs to use them to intimidate those little guys.

As long as the other party sees his strength, those people will not dare to make trouble!

Everyone knows Chu Ning's character. If he really makes trouble, people will lose their heads. What's more, Chu Ning has been prepared.

Any smart person would not dare to cause trouble after seeing the situation at the four gates in the city.

"Alright, you guys have worked hard, go and have a rest. From now on, Kyoto City will all depend on you!"

"I'll take my leave!" Everyone bowed and left.

Chu Ning looked at the four people's leaving backs, feeling a little regretful.

If you were alive today and saw his current achievements, you would definitely be very happy.

However, now that the Fourth Prince, the culprit who killed Ni Heng, has been killed, it can be considered as revenge for Ni Heng.

I believe that if your spirit in heaven could sense this, it would be very pleased.

Thinking of Ni Heng, Chu Ning sighed and shouted outside: "Come here, get ready. I will leave the city tomorrow to offer sacrifices!"

Just when Chu Ning was feeling emotional, the Third Prince was targeting him!

The third prince’s residence, living room.

The huge living room was filled with guests today, with more than ten princes gathered together.

Everyone's faces sank, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Sitting at the main seat, the Third Prince scanned the room, and seeing that no one was speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said:

"My dear brothers, you have seen this at the morning court today. Chu Ning is so arrogant. Will there be a place for you and me in the future?

Of the six ministries in the court, he alone controls four, leaving only the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War. If this continues, he will be the only one in power, and we can only become his stepping stones!"

The provocation made the other princes look even uglier.

They knew that Chu Ning's dominance would be disadvantageous to them, but the current situation was unforgiving and they could not do anything to Chu Ning.

The twelfth prince sighed: "Third brother, we all understand the truth, but we can't deal with him now!"

The seventeenth prince was even more worried: "Yes, now Chu Ning has the army in his hands, even the city defense camp and the imperial guards are under his control. If we take action, we will have no chance of winning."

The fifteenth prince sneered: "Attack? What can we use to attack? Our lives?"

It was obvious that the fifteenth prince did not want to have a conflict with Chu Ning.

Seeing that everyone disagreed, the Third Prince frowned and said, "Okay, okay, I didn't ask you to quarrel!

The most urgent task is to find a way to deal with this matter first, and never let Chu Ning completely control Jingdu City."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the scene became deathly quiet.

It's no problem for them to say bad things about Chu Ning, but they don't have the courage to actually fight Chu Ning.

Seeing this scene, the Third Prince's face was gloomy: "Why, are you guys scared?"

"Of course I'm afraid!"

The Sixth Prince sneered: "With Chu Ning's personality, if we provoke him, he will kill us all, do you believe it?

The death of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Brother is a lesson for us. Attacking Chu Ning at this time is no different from seeking death."

After saying that, the Sixth Prince stood up and said, "Let's wait until Father comes back!"

After saying this, the Sixth Prince turned and left.

Seeing this, the other princes stood up and said goodbye.

They are not fools. They know they are no match for Chu Ning, so how dare they take action at this time?

In the blink of an eye, only the third prince was left at the scene!

"You guys~ Humph, just wait for me!"

The Third Prince refused to give up and said fiercely: "I will definitely overthrow Chu Ning before my father returns to the palace!"

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are dead. As long as Chu Ning falls, the position of Crown Prince will belong to him!

For this, he is willing to take risks!
