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

The emperor stared coldly at the tutor and the prime minister in front of him, his expression extremely ugly.

He didn't expect that the two people who had always remained neutral would actually persuade him to settle the matter peacefully.

And even the old King Qin who just left spoke for Chu Ning!

But the more this happened, the more the emperor felt that Chu Ning's power was too great, so great that it had lost balance and was beyond his control.

This is what the emperor can't accept the most!

As an emperor, the most important thing is balance.

But now, the balance has been broken by Chu Ning.

No matter what the old Prince of Qin, the Grand Tutor, the Prime Minister and others said, the Emperor was already wary of Chu Ning.

He knew very well that he could not continue to leave Chu Ning alone, otherwise he would have to compromise with Chu Ning in the future!

Thinking of this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and a cold look flashed across his face: "You two adults are right, I can let this matter go for now!

However, if Chu Ning cannot find the murderer of Mo Yushan within half a month, I will put the blame on him!"

After that, the emperor didn't want to listen to the two people talking anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can leave now!"

"We, the officials, shall take our leave!" Yang Wende and the other man bowed and left.

The two dared not say anything more and turned away.

After leaving the Yangxin Palace, the two looked at each other and sighed.

"Prime Minister Yang, what do you think about this matter?" The Grand Tutor asked first.

Yang Wende smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty made his move only when he was determined. Now it depends on whether His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu will give him a chance.

If the King of Chu can find the murderer within half a month, Your Majesty will have no reason to take action.

However, I have confidence in His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. Kyoto is a small city, and there are only a few people who are capable of taking action. It is easy to find the murderer, not to mention that there is Mo Yingying as a witness!"

The Grand Tutor nodded slightly and said, "On this point, my opinion is the same as the Prime Minister's, but I am still worried that Your Majesty will take action.

Given your majesty's love for the Fourth Prince and the temperament of Consort De in the harem, she will most likely not let the King of Chu off easily."

As the emperor's teacher, the Taifu knows the emperor too well.

Yang Wende certainly understood what the Grand Tutor meant, and a serious look appeared on his face.

If Concubine De blamed Chu Ning for this matter and kept whispering in the emperor's ear, the situation would surely become even more serious.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Wende narrowed his eyes, and a look of determination flashed across his face: "If Your Majesty insists on doing it your way, you and I will stop him!

However, Concubine De has always relied on His Majesty's favor to act arrogantly in the harem and even looks down on the Queen.

I feel that Concubine De has bad conduct and lost her son in middle age, which has caused her to become mentally confused. She should be sent to a nunnery outside the palace to practice cultivation!"

The Grand Tutor's eyes lit up: "I understand. After the funeral, you and I will jointly submit a petition!"

For the future of Chu, they had to respond.

The emperor has his own ideas, but he also has his own opinions as a subject.

From their point of view, they would never allow chaos in the State of Chu!

Chu Ning is now far superior to other princes in both civil and military affairs!

Now that the crown prince is dead, Chu Ning is the most suitable candidate for the heir.

At this critical moment, they did not want the emperor to take action against Chu Ning on his own initiative.

Although they were neutral and supported the emperor, they actually represented the interests of the State of Chu.

What's more, the old King Qin, who is a relative of the royal family, has expressed his approval of Chu Ning, which shows that Chu Ning is deeply loved by the people.

Moreover, if they can support Chu Ning to become the crown prince, when Chu Ning ascends the throne in the future, they will have the merit of following the dragon!

As veteran officials in the court, they are well aware of the dangers of the court.

Although he remained neutral in the past, it was because he did not want to get involved in the fight for succession so as not to bring trouble upon himself.

But now that Chu Ning has such a big advantage, they would be fools if they didn’t make a choice.

Of course, there are some things that cannot be directly expressed, and all they can do is to stabilize the emperor first.

As long as Chu Ning is not blind, he will definitely know what they have done. As long as Chu Ning becomes the prince in the future, he will definitely remember their kindness.

After the two of them agreed, they left.

After all, they still have to deal with the funerals of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, and they have to be involved in many things.

At the same time, in the Chu Palace, a change that would affect the future was quietly taking place.

Prince Chu's Mansion, living room.

Everyone gathered together, even Ran Ming was called in by Chu Ning.

Chu Ning sat in the main seat and said calmly, "I'm sure you all know my father's attitude today. Now my father has given me half a month to find the murderer who killed Mo Yushan's family. What do you think?"

Yun Jianye was about to speak, but Ran Ming shouted first: "Your Highness, if it were me, we should just search the city directly. I believe we will find the murderer."

But as soon as these words came out, Yun Jianye frowned and said, "No, there is a lot of discussion in the city about the death of Mo Yushan's family. If we search now, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the people, which is extremely disadvantageous to Your Highness."

Ran Ming's mouth twitched: "But we have to find the murderer within half a month. Besides searching, what else can we do?"

With his brain, how could he possibly come up with any ideas?

Yun Jianye shook his head, knowing that he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly even if he tried.

Fortunately, at this time, Lu Xiuwen said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible to search the page in a public manner, but we still need to send people to investigate secretly."

Yun Jianye nodded slightly: "Lord Lu is right, I also plan to do so!"

They openly sent people to search, but in fact they were investigating in secret.

But Chu Ning didn't say anything when he heard it, instead he turned his gaze to Jia Yu.

"Master Jia, what do you think?"

Jia Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled: "Instead of us looking for the murderer, why not let the murderer come to us!

Half a month is neither long nor short. It would be difficult to find the murderer using conventional means.

The quickest way to resolve this matter is to let them come here themselves."

This made Ran Ming look puzzled: "Master Jia, the murderer is not a fool, how could he come to our door on his own?"

Lu Xiuwen and Yun Jianye looked at each other. They knew Jia Yu's ability very well and knew he would not speak without thinking. What he said must have a basis.

While thinking, Chu Ning chuckled: "It seems that Lord Jia has a plan in mind. Why not tell me about it?"

Jia Yu pursed his lips and slowly told him his plan.

The more Ran Ming listened, the wider his eyes widened. Until Jia Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but admire:

"Master Jia, I never understood why people called you a poisoner before, but now I seem to understand a little bit."

This made Chu Ning laugh out loud: "It's rare for Ran Ming to say such words. Lord Jia, if you have time in the future, you can help teach Ran Ming."

After saying this, Chu Ning stood up suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a stern look:

"I'll leave this matter to you, Lord Jia. Once you find the murderer, arrest him immediately!"

"Your Majesty, take your orders!"

A cold look appeared on Jia Yu's lips.
