If Chu Ning takes action, it will naturally not end so easily.

Since it is not enough for officials from five departments to step forward, let more officials step forward!

As Chu Ning looked at other people, the old King Qin was the first to step forward.

Amid everyone's surprised gazes, the old King of Qin slowly walked behind Chu Ning.

The Eleventh Prince, who was originally smiling, was suddenly dumbfounded and the smile on his face froze.

On the throne, the emperor's expression turned ugly at this moment.

As the head of the Zongzheng Temple, he was in charge of the royal family, and all members of the royal family had to obey the old King Qin.

If the old King Qin stands on Chu Ning's side at this time, it will definitely affect others.

While thinking, the Eleventh Prince's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Old King Qin, what do you mean?"

The old King Qin lowered his eyes, his face showing no joy or sadness, and said calmly: "I have already made my attitude clear."

This sentence gave the Eleventh Prince a shock. He was completely stunned and stood there in a daze.

If the old King of Qin supports Chu Ning, wouldn’t the royal family also support Chu Ning?

As soon as this thought came to mind, all the royal relatives in the hall looked at each other, then walked out of the train and came behind the old King Qin.

Suddenly, there were more than a dozen people behind Chu Ning.

But even so, the majority of officials have not yet expressed their views.

At this time, Chu Ning said calmly: "Eleventh Brother, the old King Qin has expressed his position, I believe that the emperor will also change his mind."

"Don't think about it!"

The Eleventh Prince's face was gloomy: "Even if the old King Qin expressed his position, the number of officials who support you is less than half of the entire court."

"You want this to make father appoint a crown prince, but I'm afraid it's not enough!"

He turned to look at the throne and saluted: "Father, my brother the Prince of Chu is determined to become the crown prince, and he even bribed the old King of Qin for this!"

The twelfth prince also said quickly: "Yes, in order to achieve his goal, the eighteenth brother was so despicable that he contacted the old King Qin in advance!"

"The matter of appointing a crown prince must not be so hasty."

They would never let the emperor agree to this, otherwise once Chu Ning became the crown prince, they would have no way to survive.

The emperor looked at the two nervous people and couldn't help but frown, feeling very strange.

He didn't understand why the old King Qin would support Chu Ning at this time.

"Don't be impatient!"

The emperor glared at the two men, then looked at the old King of Qin and asked, "Since the old King of Qin agrees to appoint a crown prince immediately, can you explain the reason?"

The old King Qin slowly raised his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the lessons learned from the past are not enough?"

"The Third Prince alone killed three other princes for the position of Crown Prince. Including myself, four princes died at once!"

"As the head of the Zongzheng Temple, how can I sit back and do nothing? If a crown prince is not appointed, I'm afraid Kyoto City will be in turmoil."

There was a strong warning in the words.

If Chu Ning is not allowed to become the crown prince at this time, if Chu Ning takes risks, the capital city will be plunged into bloodshed again.

Of course the emperor understood the meaning of the old King of Qin's words, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

In fact, he has been gambling all the time!

I bet Chu Ning doesn’t dare to do it.

But what if a fight breaks out?

Even the old King of Qin has this concern, which shows that there is a certain risk in this matter.

As long as Chu Ning is made the crown prince, this problem will not occur.

Thinking of this, the emperor's expression eased a lot: "What the old King Qin said makes sense."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ning took the initiative to speak: "Father, even the old King Qin supports the immediate appointment of a crown prince. I believe that other adults in the court will also make the right choice."

As he spoke, his eyes turned to the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister.

The Grand Tutor looked hesitant and stood there without moving.

Prime Minister Yang Wende hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up and said, "King Chu is right. The position of crown prince is of great importance and must be decided as soon as possible!"

As Yang Wende stood up, some neutral officials followed suit.

This scene shocked the eleventh prince, and he felt something was wrong.

Even the neutral prime minister went there, which meant that Chu Ning had already contacted the other party in advance.

This is coming prepared!

While he was deep in thought, he heard Chu Ning's voice: "The Prime Minister has made a choice. I wonder what your choice is, Master?"

These two people have always been in solidarity. This time, the Prime Minister expressed his position first, which invisibly put pressure on the Grand Tutor.

The Taifu, who was still hesitating, sighed upon hearing this.

As expected, there is no way to avoid it!

Thinking of this, the Grand Tutor had to stand up and said, "This old man and the old King Qin and the Prime Minister have the same opinion. We support the immediate establishment of a crown prince."

After saying this, he stood next to the prime minister.

That is behind Chu Ning!

When some neutral officials in the court saw this situation, they immediately followed suit.

The power of the neutral faction has always been very strong. With the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor all gone, all of them had no choice but to stand on Chu Ning's side.

As a result, the number of officials who have not yet expressed their views is roughly the same as the number of officials who support the establishment of a crown prince.

The only ones who had not expressed their views were the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, a group of the prince's supporters, some officials from aristocratic families, and some who had previously supported the third prince.

When these people saw that the numbers of both sides were almost the same, their faces suddenly turned ugly.

At the beginning, they felt they had a sure win, and even had the emperor's support, so they had the upper hand.

But now, the numbers are equal, and it is still unknown who will win.

Just as everyone was worried, a cruel look appeared on the twelfth prince's face.

"Eighteenth brother, you are so eager to have our father appoint a crown prince. In my opinion, it is you who wants to be the crown prince, right?"

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "Twelfth brother, the matter of appointing a crown prince has not been decided yet, why are you talking about this?"

"Why, don't you want to be the crown prince, 12th brother?"

These words made the twelfth prince's face look ugly.

Although he knew that Chu Ning was a good talker, he never thought that he would be left speechless by Chu Ning.

“You…you are so outrageous!”

The twelfth prince was furious: "Do you really think that if you convince the old King of Qin, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister, the Emperor will agree to appoint a crown prince immediately?"

"Whether or not to appoint a crown prince immediately, it's up to you, brother Twelve."

Chu Ning said calmly, "Besides, they are not the only ones who support this matter!"

These words shocked the twelfth prince.

Could it be that Chu Ning has someone else?

In the train.

Minister of Justice Ling Haoran was moved, thinking that Chu Ning wanted him to stand up.

But at this moment, the Thirteenth Prince, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and said loudly:

"Brother Twelve, you were also involved in what happened yesterday. Don't you know why that happened?"

"The reason why Third Brother is so crazy is because of the Crown Prince. If Father had appointed a Crown Prince earlier, we wouldn't have to fight for it."

"As for what you said about your eighteenth brother wanting to become the crown prince, in fact, everyone has hope, right?"

Although he is a rough man, the Thirteenth Prince is not stupid and he can make logical arguments.

After he finished speaking, the Thirteenth Prince came behind Chu Ning with the officials who supported him.

As a result, there are more people who support the establishment of a crown prince than those who have not yet expressed their views.

Chu Ning has the upper hand!

This scene shocked the emperor.

That kid Chu Ning came prepared!
