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

Nothing happened all night.

The time came to the next day at Mao time.

In July, the sun rises earlier than usual. Inside the palace, one can see people clearly even without lighting torches.

The imperial palace at this moment was like a dark city, and it looked very depressing from a distance.

At the huge palace gate, officials came in one after another, and there was constant discussion.

After the emperor delivered his order last night, many ministers in the court realized that the third prince would be supported and might even become the crown prince.

For this reason, many people changed their minds and joined the third prince.

But some people just watched and watched the changes and did not follow the trend.

But even so, what people were talking about most at the moment was still the Third Prince and the transfer of officials last night.

This matter is related to the future structure of the imperial court, and everyone wants to consider their own future and prospects.

Just then, Chu Ning and Zhao Yu rode over on horseback.

Everyone bowed, Chu Ning nodded slightly as a greeting, and then took Zhao Yu to the palace.

The steps outside the Golden Palace.

Many princes have arrived. They are standing in an orderly line waiting. Chu Ning took a look and did not see the third prince. He could not help but laugh in his heart.

It seems that the third prince knew that he couldn't cause trouble today, so he came a little late on purpose.

After all, the official appointments are to be announced today. If an accident happens at this time, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the third prince.

Therefore, the third prince must arrive just before the court session.

Sure enough, as time passed, when it was almost time to go to court, the third prince came in with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Third Prince!" Everyone bowed.

The third prince greeted everyone with a kind face, but when he passed by Chu Ning, a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Chu Ning responded calmly without saying hello to him, and let the Third Prince walk to the front of the queue of princes.

At this time, an eunuch came in front of the crowd and shouted in a shrill voice: "The auspicious time has arrived, and the morning court will begin."

Everyone filed in.

In the main hall.

All the ministers gathered together and the emperor walked out from the side hall.

"See Your Majesty!"

"My dear friends, no courtesy!"

The emperor stood in front of the dragon throne and said in a deep voice: "In recent days, many major events have occurred in the court. The crown prince and the fourth son have left me one after another, and officials in the court have also met with accidents.

Although I am sad, I have to restore order for the sake of the overall situation.

Today, I will announce the appointment of several ministers."

Zhao Ming on the side immediately took out the imperial edict and read out the order issued yesterday.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Prince stood up with a look of excitement on his face, and saluted: "On behalf of Lord Jiang and Lord Peng, I would like to thank you, Father, for your grace!"

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "They are all people from your fiefdom. After entering the capital, you should explain the situation in the capital to them so that they can serve the court as soon as possible."

This is blatant support!

The Third Prince was overjoyed: "Don't worry, Father. I know what to do."

After saying this, the Third Prince retreated into the train and deliberately glanced at Chu Ning out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing Chu Ning's expression of neither joy nor sadness, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Pretend, keep pretending!

Wait until Jiang Yongkang and Peng Jinglun arrive and see how you can continue pretending!

At this moment, the third prince was very proud.

At this time, Yun Jianye also stepped out of the class and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

From Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to Acting Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and then to Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, it can be said to be a roller coaster ride, which is not a grace at all.

The emperor seemed to know that he had gone too far. He glanced at Yun Jianye and said calmly:

"Lord Yun has served in the Ministry of Revenue for two years and has been loyal and dedicated to his duties. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yun Jianye replied indifferently and returned to the train.

The emperor glanced at everyone and fixed his eyes on Chu Ning.

Seeing that Chu Ning didn't seem to want to speak, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice:

"Next, let's talk about the funeral..."

"Father!" Chu Ning suddenly interrupted.

The emperor's heart skipped a beat, and his mouth twitched.

I thought Chu Ning would not come out today, but I didn't expect this guy to come out anyway.

It seems that Chu Ning is very dissatisfied with the official appointment just now!

With a vigilant heart, the emperor stared at Chu Ning and said in a deep voice: "Chu Ning, are you dissatisfied with my appointment just now?"

Chu Ning shook his head and said calmly: "Father, General Han Xing was originally the Minister of War, but because of the war spoils of Zhao, the Crown Prince and my fourth brother stripped him of his position.

The positions of the left and right assistant ministers of the Ministry of War have been vacant for a long time. Now one has been appointed, but there is still one position left."

The emperor reacted, narrowed his eyes, and asked coldly: "Who do you want to recommend to be the Minister of War?"

Logically speaking, there should be no talented people around Chu Ning now. What's more, the position of Assistant Minister of War requires military talents, and none of the civil servants around Chu Ning are suitable.

If Chu Ning recommended him casually, just find an excuse to get rid of him.

At this moment, the Third Prince stared at Chu Ning with a sneer on his face: "Eighteenth brother, you have your eyes on the position of the Minister of War? But don't forget that the Ministry of War is in charge of military affairs. If you casually recommend someone who has no talent, I'm afraid it will only cause a joke."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "I haven't even mentioned the name yet, how do you know that the person I'm recommending doesn't understand military affairs?"

"is it?"

The Third Prince had a playful look on his face: "Then you should tell me, so that I and the others can see how capable this person is."

There was a strong threat in the words.

He had already made up his mind that no matter who Chu Ning recommended, he would lead other ministers to oppose it.

The emperor saw that the two seemed to be about to quarrel, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Okay, let Chu Ning talk first."

He was also very curious about who else Chu Ning could recommend.

Chu Ning raised his lips slightly, revealing a hint of amusement: "Father, General Zhao Yu has been in Liangzhou for two years and came back yesterday to report on his work!"

"Regardless of his martial arts or military talent, General Zhao Yu is qualified to be the Minister of War."

"Besides, General Zhao Yu has been stationed in Liangzhou for two years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. Even if it is his turn, it should be his turn!"

The Ministry of War must not be controlled by anyone else.

Although Feng Anguo was not in the Ministry of War before, at least Han Xing was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and no one dared to take action against the Ministry of War.

But last time, Han Xing was stripped of his official position by the crown prince and the fourth prince because of the war spoils of Zhao State, which gave the emperor the opportunity to send someone to take charge of the Ministry of War.

But the Ministry of War is of great importance, so how can we easily let the Third Prince’s people take charge of it?

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

After all the calculations, he had overlooked the generals around Chu Ning.

Although Ran Ming went to Yunzhou, Chu Ning transferred Zhao Yu back!

Things are a bit troublesome.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the third prince, signaling him to speak up and object.

The third prince noticed the emperor's gaze, and his eyes lit up. He took the initiative to step forward and said loudly:

"Eighteenth brother, this is where you are wrong. How can Zhao Yu become the Minister of War without any achievements?"

The Ministry of War can only belong to him!

Chu Ning, don’t even think about getting involved!
