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

Nothing happened all night.

Before the hour of Mao the next day, Chu Ning got up early, changed into purple royal robes, and put on a purple gold crown.

After finishing his preparations, he rode to the palace with a team of guards to attend the morning court.

If it were in the past, he would definitely not get up so early.

But things are different now. He is in control of the situation in the court, and it is the first time that the emperor returns to the court, so he will definitely ask some questions.

So, without waiting for the emperor to send someone to notify him, he went there on his own!

The palace, at the gate.

Officials entered the palace in groups of three or four as usual, while those who knew each other gathered together to discuss.

"I don't know whether His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu will come today!"

"It's hard to say. Today is the first time that His Majesty has returned to the palace to attend court. It stands to reason that he should follow the routine and ask the King of Chu."

"Look, is that the King of Chu?"

"Hey, it really is the King of Chu!"

"Meet the King of Chu!"

When a group of people saw Chu Ning coming, they all bowed to him.

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "My Lords, there is no need to be so polite."

After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the main hall first.

Along the way, whenever a minister saw him, he would stop and salute, and let Chu Ning walk in front.

The King of Chu today is not the same King of Chu as before!

After the death of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, Chu Ning became the most powerful candidate for the Crown Prince.

Soon, Chu Ning arrived at the steps outside the hall and stood behind the princes.

The Third Prince saw that Chu Ning didn't seem to be in the mood to greet him, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Eighteenth brother, why don't you greet us when you see us?"

Chu Ning said calmly: "Third brother, I was just thinking about how to respond to my father's questions today, and I didn't see you brothers."

"You...you are so arrogant!"

The third prince's eyes turned cold: "You are indeed a bastard of low birth. Humph, even if you are a prince now, you still don't know the royal etiquette!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning's eyes turned cold, and his aura changed: "What did you say?"

Chu Ning suddenly appeared in front of the Third Prince with a flash of his body, staring at him with cold eyes:

"If you dare, say it again?"

Such a horrifying scene frightened the surrounding ministers so much that their faces changed slightly and they all looked sideways.

The princes looked at each other, and in unison, they took a few steps back, giving the venue to Chu Ning and the third prince Chu Ming!

If the Third Prince and Chu Ning had a conflict, it would be a great thing for them.

The third prince was also dumbfounded at this moment.

He never dreamed that he was just trying to teach Chu Ning a lesson, but Chu Ning would target him like this.

Now he didn't dare to conflict with Chu Ning, but he couldn't show weakness at this time.

If a conflict occurs, he will definitely not be a match for Chu Ning.

But if he retreats now, how will those ministers look at him?

What's more, now that the crown prince is dead, the fight for the crown prince is about to begin. If he retreats at this moment, how can he fight for the crown prince's position?

For a moment, the third prince was in a dilemma.

But Chu Ning didn't seem to be going to let him go. He was full of murderous intent, staring at him intently, and asked in a cold voice:

"I'm asking you, what did you just say?"

The deafening sound is frightening.

Especially those eyes full of murderous intent, which made the third prince feel frightened.

But the third prince knew that he could not retreat now. If he did, he would lose his chance of becoming the king.

He is the oldest among all the princes at present. According to the laws of the Chu State, the eldest son should be appointed as the crown prince instead of the most capable one. He is the most likely to become the crown prince!

But if he backs down now, not only will the ministers look down on him, but even the emperor will look down on him.

Thinking of this, the Third Prince narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and he looked at Chu Ning:

"Why, Eighteenth Brother, are you angered by what I said?"

"Is it possible that what I said is wrong? Aren't you the illegitimate son of my father among the common people?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Ning raised his hand and slapped him without saying anything.

"Crack~"

This slap landed hard on the face of the unprepared Third Prince, causing the entire scene to fall into silence.

No one expected that Chu Ning would take action.

Even the third prince himself did not expect this.

He thought that Chu Ning was just pretending and wanted to take this opportunity to scare him.

So, he was not prepared at all and was slapped easily by Chu Ning.

In fact, he is skilled in martial arts.

Moreover, his martial arts skills are not weak.

However, he was still beaten by Chu Ning.

The Third Prince's face flushed instantly after he reacted, his eyes were red, and he roared, "You... you dare to hit me!"

Chu Ning sneered: "This slap is to let you know that you can't say anything!"

"Now, I am already a prince, recognized by my father and the clan office. You are just a bastard trying to deliberately humiliate me!"

"Humph, since you want to be humiliated, then I will let you have a taste of humiliation as well."

"If you don't agree, just do it!"

At this moment, Chu Ning displayed his dominance to the fullest.

When the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister, who had retreated to a distance, saw this scene, a strange look flashed in their eyes.

"Strange, why is His Royal Highness the King of Chu so impulsive today?"

"Are you trying to disrupt this morning court session?"

"It's unlikely. Even if he disrupted the morning court, wouldn't His Majesty ask him about the affairs of the court tomorrow morning?"

"Then...what is the purpose of His Royal Highness the King of Chu doing this?"

"I don't understand."

"Then let's continue to watch. If the situation continues like this, His Majesty will definitely come forward."

"Look, the Third Prince can't help himself!"

As the two were talking, the Third Prince was completely enraged by Chu Ning's words!

"Okay, okay, I want to see how much progress you have made in the past two years!"

The third prince roared, turned his hands into palms, and attacked Chu Ning.

But Chu Ning didn't move his body or feet, but waved his fist and hit him hard!

He actually chose to confront the Third Prince head-on!

"boom!"

The two men's four fists collided, and the powerful force knocked them back several steps.

At this moment, they had a general understanding of each other's strengths.

The strength of both sides is equal!

The Third Prince glanced at the scene and did not find Ran Ming, so he laughed wildly:

"Hahahaha, I thought you were so powerful, but you're nothing special!"

Chu Ning snorted coldly: "Really? Then I want to see if you can take this punch."

After saying that, Chu Ning leaped up and punched down hard!

The third prince crossed his hands and actually blocked the punch. Then he exerted force from his waist and shook his arms violently to push Chu Ning away.

Then, the Third Prince rushed forward, attacking with both fists in a series of rapid attacks, determined to take control of the battle.

But Chu Ning refused to give in. His fists were as fierce as a tiger descending from the mountain, and he chose to fight the third prince head-on!

For a while, the two fought fiercely and neither of them was willing to retreat.

This scene was also reported to the emperor by Zhao Ming.

Main hall and side hall.

The emperor is having his dragon robe adjusted by his maid.

Zhao Ming hurried over to report: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the Third Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu are fighting!"

The emperor's face darkened: "What do these two rebellious sons want to do!"

"Hmph, go and take a look!"
