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

The backyard of the palace.

In the hot summer, even the pavilion cannot block the scorching sun.

There are tables and chairs in the hall, and there is also a piano.

Shen Wanying stood in the hall, feeling uneasy. It was not right to stand, and it was not right not to stand.

Such a big thing happened last night, and no one knew how the emperor would deal with it. She was very worried about Chu Ning.

Seeing this, the maid Xiaoqing could not help but persuade her: "Miss, don't worry, just have breakfast first. It's almost noon now, how can you bear it if you haven't had breakfast yet?"

Shen Wanying shook her head: "How can I eat that?"

As they were talking, the sound of footsteps was heard from outside the yard. They both turned around at the same time and saw a handsome figure walking slowly towards them.

"Your Majesty!"

Xiaoqing jumped over with a look of surprise and said, "You are finally back. Please try to comfort Miss. She hasn't eaten anything since this morning."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows, looked at Shen Wanying and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Shen Wanying stepped forward and took Chu Ning's hand: "I am worried about the situation in the city and your safety. By the way, does His Majesty have any instructions on this matter?"

Chu Ning reached out and smoothed her messy hair, smiling slightly: "Don't worry, my father has already stripped my third brother of all his identities, and this matter has come to a perfect end."

Shen Wanying's eyes lit up and she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Chu Ning looked at Xiao Qing and said, "I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm a little hungry now. Please ask the kitchen to prepare lunch."

"Yes!" Xiaoqing was overjoyed and went downstairs to make arrangements.

She knew that whenever the King of Chu had a meal, her young lady would definitely follow him.

She tried to persuade for a long time, but it was not as good as one word from the King of Chu.

Of course Shen Wanying also understood Chu Ning's intention, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not lunch time yet."

"I am hungry."

Shen Wanying lost her temper when she heard the word "hungry". She could only shake her head and said worriedly, "Although the matter of the Third Prince has been dealt with, the position of the Crown Prince will definitely lead to a court struggle."

Chu Ning laughed, held her shoulder and walked towards the living room: "Don't worry, I have just told Jia Yu and others to arrange this matter."

What more can a husband ask for when his wife is like this?

Now he just wanted to let Shen Wanying eat something as soon as possible, and he could handle the affairs of the court by himself.

Afterwards, Chu Ning and Shen Wanying had lunch and went back to their room to rest together.

Even though Shen Wanying did not participate in last night's events, she did not sleep well that night.

Now that Chu Ning is back, she can finally put her mind at ease.

What happened last night and this morning quickly spread throughout Kyoto.

Suddenly, all officials were shocked!

No one expected that the third prince would die at Chu Ning's hands.

For a moment, many people began to panic.

Most of them supported the Third Prince, but now that the Third Prince has been killed, Chu Ning will definitely settle accounts with those who supported the Third Prince.

Their situation will become very embarrassing!

However, at this time, news came from the city that the court tomorrow morning would discuss whether to appoint a crown prince.

At the same time, Lu Xiuwen and Yun Jianye also released the news that as long as they supported Chu Ning, past events would be forgiven.

For a time, many officials began to become active.

Although other princes also began to win over people at this time, they were clearly not at an advantage compared to Chu Ning.

Of course, some officials were worried that Chu Ning would retaliate later, so they chose to support other princes.

The day passed in a hectic manner, and soon it was the next morning.

Mao Shi.

The sky had already brightened and the outlines of houses on the street could be vaguely seen. Chu Ning led a team of white horse cavalry and headed straight for the palace.

At the gate of the imperial palace, officials gathered in groups of three or four, discussing things as they walked towards the palace.

Chu Ning rode over, and everyone stepped aside and bowed, "Greetings to His Majesty the King of Chu!"

Chu Ning glanced at all the officials, nodded and said with a smile: "My Lords, there is no need to be polite. You go in first. I still need to wait for someone."

The officials were immediately surprised.

Who is worthy of the King of Chu waiting at the palace gate?

Just as everyone was surprised, more than a dozen officials led by Lu Xiuwen arrived at the palace gate.

"I have met His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Chu Ning glanced at them and said with a smile, "Lord Lu's Ministry of Works has provided a lot of help to the front line. When I am free, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The officials from the Ministry of Works were very excited.

Who doesn't know that the King of Chu is as rich as a country? Could the King of Chu's huge reward be only half of it?

At this time, another dozen officials also arrived at the palace gate. The leader was Yun Jianye, and behind him were all officials from the Ministry of Revenue.

Although Yun Jianye had been transferred to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue was composed of officials transferred from Bingzhou, so Yun Jianye was naturally the head of the Ministry.

"See His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"No need to be polite!"

Chu Ning continued to smile and said, "The Ministry of Revenue has been assisting Bingzhou in managing logistics during this period, allowing Bingzhou's troops to destroy the State of Zhao. This is a great achievement that I will always remember. After today, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The official from the Ministry of Revenue looked excited.

At this time, other officials reacted.

The King of Chu has already gained the support of these officials, and he will most likely not easily give up the issue of appointing a crown prince at this morning's court session.

While everyone was thinking, Zhao Yu, wearing armor and riding a horse, arrived with more than a dozen generals.

"I have met His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Generals, there is no need to be so polite."

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Your Ministry of War has been working hard these past two years. Minister Feng has not been in the Ministry of War. Now General Zhao will temporarily manage all the affairs of the Ministry of War. I hope you will work together to help General Zhao handle the affairs of the Ministry of War!"

All the generals said in unison: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will follow General Zhao's lead!"

This scene made the faces of the ministers change slightly.

They understood that Chu Ning was demonstrating to them!

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works have all expressed their support for Chu Ning. If they want to support other princes, they will have to think carefully.

But, this is not the end.

A team of about thirty officials, led by Jia Yu, arrived at the palace gate.

"I have met His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Chu Ning pretended to be surprised: "Why did Lord Jia come with the people from the Ministry of Rites?"

Jia Yu smiled and said, "If we meet on the way, we can come together."

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "You people from the Censorate and the Ministry of Rites have helped me a lot during this period. After today, I will be seriously injured!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

This scene completely shocked the other officials.

Among the six ministries, except for the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Rites, other officials chose to support Chu Ning.

Even the Censorate chose to stand on Chu Ning's side!

It would be fine for other people, but the old guys in the Censorate are all stubborn. If they offend them, their future life will be difficult.

For a time, many officials were secretly discussing this in their hearts.

Judging from the situation, the King of Chu is determined to obtain the position of Crown Prince.

It seems that I can't make a statement easily today. Let's wait and see how the situation develops.

The officials looked at each other and made up their minds that they should not act rashly today.

At this time, Chu Ning waved his hand and said, "Enter the palace!"

Accompanied by officials from five ministries, Chu Ning stepped into the palace with the stride of a dragon and a tiger!
