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

The Ninth Prince is dead.

After being fooled by the third prince, he died without dignity.

But this is nothing to the third prince, his real target is still Chu Ning.

He felt uneasy until he saw Chu Ning's body.

At a command, he gathered many Sizhou soldiers and city defense camps and rushed to the Chu Palace.

on the street.

The Eleventh Prince looked at the Bingzhou troops who were fighting with the Sizhou troops in front of him, but he did not take action.

He had the same idea as the fifth and ninth princes, and wanted to wait until both sides were exhausted before taking action.

But at this moment, the Sizhou troops received an order and retreated immediately.

This scene made the Eleventh Prince's face change slightly: "Strange, why did the Sizhou troops retreat?"

"Someone, go and get the news immediately."

The abnormal behavior of the Sizhou soldiers made the Eleventh Prince feel uneasy, and he wanted to know the truth as soon as possible.

The other princes were all experiencing the same thing as the Eleventh Prince.

But the sixteenth and seventeenth princes had already led their troops to fight against the Sizhou troops, so they did not let the Sizhou troops retreat.

In the end, only the four Sizhou troops from the 11th Prince, 12th Prince, 14th Prince and 15th Prince retreated.

For a time, many soldiers from Sizhou went to the Chu Palace in an endless stream.

The news spread quickly.

Of course, the first person to receive the news was the emperor.

Of course, along with this news came some bad news.

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

The emperor, who had recovered some of his spirit, paced back and forth in the hall.

The situation outside the city made him very worried, but he did not dare to send the imperial guards out, for fear that someone would take advantage of them.

As long as he is safe, the situation will not be chaotic.

But if something happens to him, the entire Kyoto city and even the entire Chu State will be in chaos.

Just as the emperor was thinking about the situation outside the palace, Zhao Ming came quickly.

"Your Majesty, something has happened!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?"

Zhao Ming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice: "His Highness the Ninth Prince was killed by His Highness the Third Prince, and his head and body were separated."

Then he quickly recounted what had just happened.

The emperor was furious when he heard this, and his aura suddenly exploded: "Asshole, Lao Jiu is his brother after all, he could have killed Lao Jiu, but why did he humiliate Lao Jiu before he died?"

Killing someone is not the right thing to do, but humiliating the person before killing him not only damages the Ninth Prince's reputation, but also undermines the dignity of the royal family.

At this moment, the emperor completely regretted it.

If he had known that the Third Prince was such a person, he should not have supported him.

But the situation is now like this. Even if he regrets, it is too late. He can only go down this path.

Zhao Ming looked at the furious emperor and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak.

The emperor was so angry that he paced back and forth. Seeing that Chu Ning didn't speak, he couldn't help but yelled, "Speak, why don't you speak?"

Zhao Ming whispered, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince has ordered all the Sizhou troops and the city defense camp soldiers to rush to the Chu Palace."

The emperor was stunned.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and muttered to himself: "Cutting the grass and eradicating its roots, this is very similar to me."

At the same time, the emperor also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since all the troops have gone to the Prince of Chu's Palace, the other princes are safe.

He was really afraid that the Third Prince would get angry and use the troops in his hands to kill all the other princes.

Fortunately, Chu Ning has now attracted the hatred of the third prince.

Thinking of this, the emperor frowned.

If the third brother was not supported at the beginning, and Chu Ning was allowed to develop, and the position of crown prince was passed to Chu Ning, would the situation be different?

With Chu Ning's intelligence, as well as the power and troops in his hands, he may be able to tame all the princes and stabilize the situation!

It was a pity that he was angry for a moment, but because he was concerned about Chu Ning's identity as an illegitimate child, he couldn't let go of his pride after all.

Thinking of this, the emperor sighed and said, "Forget it, let him be."

The emperor turned around and walked towards the inner hall with a hunched body.

Zhao Ming was stunned and didn't understand what the emperor meant.

Then, the emperor's voice came to my ears: "I am tired. When the matter is over and there is a result, you can tell me again."

Zhao Ming responded and turned away.

He knew that the emperor didn't want to care anymore and didn't want to hear any more bad news. He just wanted to wait for the final result.

In other words, the emperor will not interfere no matter what happens in the city next.

Of course, all this can only be done after the overall situation has been decided.

After all, the third prince now has complete control of the situation, and there won't be any more accidents.

Next, we just need to wait for the Third Prince to eliminate the Chu Palace, and then the imperial decree to confer the title of Crown Prince will be issued.

At the same time, the third prince and his men arrived at the destination.

Prince Chu's Mansion.

The gate was closed, archers on the high wall were ready for battle, and soldiers at the door were blocking with tables and chairs.

Outside the palace, Bingzhou soldiers surrounded it and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came.

A group of soldiers escorted the third prince from a distant street.

Looking at the fully armed Bingzhou soldiers who were protecting the Prince of Chu's Palace as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the Third Prince couldn't help but reveal a hint of amusement on his face.

"I have been ordered to investigate the assassination case. Please come out and talk to me, my eighteenth brother!"

However, there was total silence in the palace, and no one answered him.

Fang Liangping snorted coldly when he saw this: "Is this how the Chu Palace entertains guests? Why is there no one to answer your questions?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Bingzhou soldiers automatically recognized a road, and Zhao Yu appeared in front of everyone.

Zhao Yu was furious, staring at the Third Prince, and said coldly, "Go somewhere else to investigate the assassination case. Why are you coming to the Prince of Chu's Mansion?"

The Third Prince laughed: "If there is no solid evidence, why would I come here?"

"Today, when this king was fighting with my thirteenth brother, a mysterious army suddenly came to our aid."

"Now, I suspect that the troops are the assassins, and they are the forces secretly cultivated by the Chu Palace."

"If you know what's good for you, put down your weapons and surrender. I will give you a chance to live, considering that you are the elite troops of the Chu State and have made great contributions."

"If not, you are accomplices, and I will catch all of them in one fell swoop!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yu's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Third Prince, please stop being so aggressive. This is the Prince Chu's Palace, and you don't have the final say!"

"is it?"

The Third Prince's eyes turned cold: "Then I will let you know today who has the final say in this Kyoto City!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many Sizhou soldiers rushed out from all directions and surrounded the Prince of Chu's Palace.

"Now, do you think what I said counts?" The third prince looked very proud.

"is it?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from the Bingzhou soldiers.

The Third Prince's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he suddenly looked towards the source of the sound.

Chu Ning walked out slowly and chuckled, "Does the fact that there are more people means the final say?"
