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

Chu Ning's straightforward statement surprised the old King Qin.

But the old King Qin had to consider Chu Ning's words carefully.

The situation in Kyoto is so tense now, and the Third Prince is ruthless. If he really becomes the Crown Prince, it will definitely be disadvantageous to him.

It's not just that the Third Prince holds a grudge as Chu Ning said, he also thought that he was in charge of the Zongzheng Temple.

The entire royal family listens to him, but if he does not express his support for the Third Prince at this moment, how can the other party tolerate him?

The fight for succession is of great importance. One wrong step will lead to a complete loss.

For a moment, the old King Qin hesitated.

Chu Ning was not in a hurry. He picked up the teacup and took a few sips.

Looking at the empty cup of tea, Chu Ning said loudly to the outside of the hall: "Someone, change the tea!"

The tea was gone, but he still didn't want to leave.

His purpose was very clear, he just wanted to wait for the answer from the old King Qin.

Today, the old King of Qin can either express his support for him or for the third prince.

It's impossible to remain neutral!

While he was lost in thought, the maid brought him a cup of fragrant tea.

At this moment, the old King Qin had come back to his senses. Looking at Chu Ning who was drinking tea slowly, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, Prince Chu, do I have to make a choice today?"

"what do you think?"

Chu Ning put down the teacup and chuckled, "It's already this late, you're not still harboring fantasies, are you?"

"Remaining neutral may indeed bring some peace to the Qin Palace, but it will sow the seeds of disaster for your family."

"Remaining neutral means offending both me and my third brother at the same time. You must think carefully about the consequences."

"Although I won't bear grudges like my third brother, if I become the crown prince, I will definitely not allow the Qin Palace to exist."

The last sentence shows the attitude.

Today, the Qin Palace can only choose to stand on one side and cannot remain neutral.

Although the old King Qin was prepared, he still sighed after hearing this: "It seems that I have no way out today. I can only choose His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

"Hahahaha!"

Chu Ning laughed and stood up, bowing and saying, "Old King Qin has found a way out for your family. With your support, I will definitely win the position of Crown Prince!"

"is it?"

The old King Qin shook his head: "You don't understand His Majesty at all."

Contrary to Chu Ning's optimism, the old King of Qin was very cautious about this fight for the throne.

This also aroused Chu Ning's curiosity.

"It seems that the old King Qin knows something. Why don't you tell me about it?" Chu Ning asked humbly.

Although he knew the emperor's character, they had not spent much time together, so he certainly did not understand him as well as the old King of Qin.

He wanted to hear the old King Qin's profound ideas.

"Ugh……"

The old King Qin sighed, took a sip from the teacup, and then said slowly:

“Your Majesty likes the way of balance the most, but your appearance has disrupted His Majesty’s idea, so His Majesty has already thought about getting rid of you.

Even if you command a large army, even if you are the strongest among all the princes, even if you have made many contributions to the State of Chu, His Majesty will not think of these.

The current His Majesty only wants to get rid of you, take back the military power, and support the Third Prince to become the Crown Prince."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He did not doubt the words of the old King Qin.

It was because of the old King Qin's words that made him realize that his situation was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

If he takes any wrong step next, he might become a stepping stone for the third prince.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and flashed a cold look: "Thank you, old King Qin, for reminding me, otherwise I might still have a little fantasy."

Taking a deep breath, Chu Ning saluted the old King Qin again: "Next, this king will spread the word, and you will remain neutral so that you will not be disturbed!"

The fact that he came here to see the old King of Qin could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the emperor and the third prince.

Only by releasing false information can you confuse the other party.

The old King Qin certainly understood this, and nodded, "I thank His Royal Highness the King of Chu for his kindness."

"I've bothered you for too long today. I'll take my leave first." Chu Ning said, turned around and left.

The old King Qin looked at Chu Ning's departing back, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

At this time, a thin middle-aged man came out from behind the screen.

"Father, why did you agree to help him?"

The visitor was none other than the old King Qin's son, Prince of Fufeng, Chu Yang.

He heard all the conversation between the old King Qin and Chu Ning just now, but he did not expect that his father, who always remained neutral, would choose to help Chu Ning.

"Do you think it's still the same as before?"

The old King Qin glanced at his son unhappily, frowned and said, "Didn't you hear what he just said?"

"Or do you actually want to support the Third Prince?"

"This……"

Chu Yang's expression changed slightly, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

His thoughts were exposed, and the old King Qin glared at Chu Yang fiercely: "You have to think clearly about who the Third Prince is. Do you think his words are credible?

He even killed his own brothers at will, do you think he would tolerate our Qin Wang lineage even if we helped him become the crown prince?"

The continuous scolding made Chu Yang lower his head and dare not speak.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

After a long while, the old King of Qin sighed and said, "Forget it. It's a good thing that you have your own ideas, but you can't judge people well. You should listen to me on this matter.

However, you have done something unexpected this time, and maybe you can be of help."

Chu Yang was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

This is preparing to use him!

“I know what to do next about what my father has taught me.” Chu Yang bowed and turned to leave.

The old King Qin shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Compared with Chu Ning, his son has lived for decades in vain.

Fortunately, we stopped the loss in time, and now we just have to follow Chu Ning's plan.

"I hope that this time, the fight for the throne can be completely ended. The State of Chu can't stand it any longer."

In the hall, a sigh was heard from the old King Qin.

At this time, Chu Ning had already ridden his horse back to the Prince of Chu's Palace.

"Your Highness!" Jia Yu, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, bowed.

Chu Ning glanced at Jia Yu, whose face was covered in bloodshot, and patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. How are you doing?"

Jia Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already contacted the other princes last night, and they have agreed to meet you at Zuixian Tower tonight.

However, they did not want the Third Prince to know about this, so they scheduled it for midnight tonight."

These people are quite cautious.

Chu Ning sneered: "Are you scared now? It must be the death of Sixth Brother that made them realize the danger.

But it’s okay this way. This is not a good thing for Third Brother. As long as nothing unexpected happens tonight, I will be able to unite all of them.”

After saying this, he glanced at Jia Yu, who looked exhausted, and comforted him, "Lord Jia didn't rest last night, so you should go down first. You should accompany me tonight!"

"I obey your command!" Jia Yu responded and turned to leave.

As long as the other princes are dealt with tonight, the Third Prince will not have a chance to become the Crown Prince!
