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

The atmosphere in the Golden Palace was eerie.

As the ministers stood up to support Chu Ning to become the crown prince, everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor.

The emperor was in a dilemma at this moment.

Establishing Chu Ning as the crown prince could immediately quell the unrest in Kyoto City and completely stabilize the situation.

It can even make the troops in Bingzhou, Liangzhou and even Yunzhou obey the court's orders.

But here comes the problem.

After all, Chu Ning was an illegitimate child, born among the common people. This alone was enough to make him leave a mark in history.

Every emperor will have his name recorded in history books, but it will be a good name, not this kind of romantic affair.

Once Chu Ning becomes the crown prince, or even the emperor in the future, he will be badly recorded in history books.

By then, Chu Ning would be able to steal the show, from being a wandering prince to becoming an emperor.

How inspiring!

But he will become the unfaithful emperor.

But if Chu Ning is not made the crown prince at this time, not only will the situation in the city be difficult to stabilize, but if Chu Ning takes risks, his life may even be in danger.

For a moment, the emperor found it difficult to make up his mind.

At this moment, the eleventh prince could not help but stand up and said in a deep voice: "Father, since ancient times, the eldest son and the legitimate son have always been appointed as the crown prince. Chu Ning is neither the eldest son nor the legitimate son, so how can he be appointed as the crown prince?"

There was no other reason at this point, so they could only use the old rules to prevent Chu Ning from becoming the crown prince.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Eleventh Prince winked at the officials who supported him.

An official immediately stood up and said loudly: "Your Highness the Eleventh Prince is right. In every dynasty, the eldest son is the heir. How can we make the youngest prince the crown prince?"

"Yes, this matter concerns the fate of our dynasty. We cannot easily appoint the King of Chu as the Crown Prince."

"The King of Chu is too young after all. He still needs more experience. The position of Crown Prince must not be given to him!"

"Your Majesty, if you make the King of Chu the Crown Prince, you will be breaking the ancestral rules."

For a time, there were constant voices of opposition.

Upon seeing this, the twelfth prince also quickly stepped forward to agree: "Father, once Chu Ning is made the crown prince, other dynasties will definitely laugh at us. They may even take the opportunity to attack our dynasty, causing chaos in our dynasty."

The alarmist remarks were naturally intended to worry the emperor and make him refuse to make Chu Ning the crown prince.

But Chu Ning narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and a cold look flashed across his face: "Twelfth Brother, our dynasty is currently on good terms with the Zhou Dynasty, and the Yan State is being blocked by General Feng Anguo's army."

"The Han Dynasty and Wei are already at war, and the remaining Qin Guo and Jin have business with me. They can't attack my dynasty at this time."

"If I become the crown prince, I might be able to increase business with Qin and Jin, which would be more beneficial to our dynasty!"

Now that his cards are out, there is no need to hide. He wants to clear his name!

The trump cards are revealed one by one, and he is determined to take the position of crown prince today.

The twelfth prince's face darkened when he heard this: "Eighteenth brother, I just expressed my opinion, but you are so aggressive."

"Humph, with your personality, if you become the crown prince, who knows how you will treat us in the future."

He was reminding the emperor not to let Chu Ning become the second Third Prince.

But it was this sentence that made the emperor frown.

Chu Ning has united so many officials today. If he fails to achieve his goal, will he take risks?

If Chu Ning takes action at this time, can the imperial guards really stop him?

While he was deep in thought, a shadow guard came to Zhao Ming from the side hall and whispered something.

Zhao Ming's face changed drastically, and he quickly walked to the emperor's ear and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the shadow guards discovered that there are many Bingzhou soldiers hidden outside the palace."

The emperor was startled and turned to look at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming nodded and glanced in the direction of Chu Ning.

The emperor understood that these Bingzhou troops must have been arranged in advance by Chu Ning.

It seems that this guy really wants to confront me today!

If the position of crown prince is not given to Chu Ning, today will probably not end well.

Now, after the Third Brother's mischief, the people of Kyoto are in panic. If Chu Ning takes action at this time, the State of Chu will be in chaos!

Chu Ning is much stronger than the third brother. Once he takes action, he will definitely take over the palace directly.

Moreover, with so many officials in the palace supporting Chu Ning, once Chu Ning takes over the palace, he will definitely ascend the throne directly, and there will not even be a need for him to become the crown prince.

The emperor reacted and narrowed his eyes, staring at Chu Ning.

At this time, the ministers also noticed Zhao Ming's little movements and that something was wrong with the emperor. For a moment, the hall fell silent.

Facing the emperor's gaze, Chu Ning showed no sign of weakness. He stood there with his chest puffed out and looked into his eyes.

The two looked at each other, sparks flashing in their eyes.

Only they themselves know what this glance means.

Chu Ning’s attitude is very clear, he is determined to win today.

The emperor noticed the determination in Chu Ning's eyes and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

Although he was unwilling, the emperor also understood that he could no longer stop Chu Ning's growth.

Today, the position of crown prince must be given whether you want to or not.

There is no way out.

Thinking of this, the emperor took a deep breath, stared at Chu Ning and asked, "Did you hear what your brother said?"

"heard it."

Chu Ning said, "Eleventh Brother said that the eldest son should be crowned as the heir, but if the eldest son and the heir are incapable, how can they become the crown prince and help father rule the world?"

"As for what Brother Twelve said, it is nonsense. If I hadn't led the army to rescue him yesterday, Brother Twelve would be lying in the coffin like Brother Five, Brother Six, and Brother Nine."

"you……"

The twelfth prince was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Chu Ning and shouted, "How dare you humiliate your brother in the court? Do you still have your father and the officials in the court in your eyes?"

Chu Ning shrugged: "Don't be angry, 12th brother, I am just telling the truth."

When it comes to talking skills, let alone the twelfth prince, even all the princes combined are no match for Chu Ning.

The twelfth prince was dissatisfied and was about to retort, but the emperor snorted coldly: "Enough!"

Slowly standing up and glancing at everyone in the room, the emperor slowly said, "Chu Ning is both civil and military, and is indeed the best choice for the crown prince!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the princes except the Thirteenth Prince changed drastically.

Chu Ning bowed and saluted: "Thank you for the praise, father."

"Start immediately!"

The emperor said in a loud voice: "Appoint Chu Ning as the crown prince, and have the Imperial Astronomical Observatory select an auspicious day for the enthronement ceremony!"

The crown prince is related to the foundation of the country, so the enthronement ceremony must be grand, and people from other dynasties must be invited to participate.

Therefore, this time must be very long.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!" Chu Ning bowed again.

For a moment, some people in the court were happy and some were sad.

Chu Ning becoming the crown prince will affect the interests of many people.

But what happened next brought new changes to the matter of the prince!
