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

"Okay, now that the Crown Prince's matter has been decided, let the various departments go and prepare."

The emperor felt very tired and didn't want to stay in the court any longer, so he turned around and was about to leave.

The ministers saluted and prepared to see the emperor off.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Qin messenger brought an invitation from the Qin emperor."

When these words were spoken, the emperor, who was about to leave, raised his eyebrows and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

At this time, why did the Emperor of Qin send the invitation?

The emperor suppressed his surprise and said sternly, "Let him in!"

A guard of the imperial guards came into the palace with a man who looked like a messenger.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Chu!"

"No need to be polite, just present the invitation."

Zhao Ming went down, took the invitation from the messenger, and quickly came to the emperor.

After opening the letter, the emperor looked surprised and astonished.

At this time, the Grand Tutor could not help but ask, "Your Majesty, when did the Emperor of Qin send the invitation?"

The emperor laughed and said, "Princess Changping of Qin has reached the marriageable age. The Emperor of Qin wants to select some outstanding people from various countries to see if they can catch Princess Changping's eye."

"Now that our dynasty has destroyed the State of Zhao, we are so powerful that the Emperor of Qin even specifically asked us to send a few more princes in the invitation."

When these words came out, the Eleventh Prince was overjoyed.

If he could marry Princess Changping of the Qin Dynasty, he would have a chance to inherit the throne in the future.

Although Chu Ning has been named the Crown Prince, the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, and Chu Ning is currently just a prince.

If he had more power and prestige than Chu Ning before he was enthroned as the crown prince, he would still have a chance to become the crown prince.

As long as Chu Ning has not been canonized, there is still a chance.

Thinking of this, the eleventh prince quickly stood up and said loudly: "Father, I am willing to go!"

The twelfth prince's eyes rolled.

How could I give such a good opportunity to others? Of course I have to fight for it.

"Father, I am also willing to go to Qin."

The fourteenth and fifteenth princes looked at each other, then stood up and said in unison: "Father, your sons are willing to go too!"

They are not fools and they understand that this is their only chance to become the crown prince.

If he could marry Princess Changping, it would mean he had the support of the Qin Dynasty, and it would be easy for him to become the crown prince.

Even though Chu Ning has been verbally named the crown prince now, as long as he is not enthroned, they still have a chance.

The emperor certainly understood what these four people were thinking, but his eyes were on Chu Ning who didn't speak.

Seeing that Chu Ning didn't seem to want to speak, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked: "Chu Ning, I remember that you seem to have a good relationship with Princess Changping. Don't you want to go to Qin?"

Chu Ning shook his head and said sternly, "Father, I already have Wanying and don't want to have another woman."

"Although I have a good relationship with Princess Changping, it is precisely because of this that I cannot go there, so as to avoid misunderstandings."

"If the brothers are willing to go, then let them go."

As for Princess Changping, he only had business in his mind, and the two sides could only be partners in the business field, nothing more.

What's more, he has already been named the crown prince and has to prepare for the enthronement ceremony. How can he leave Kyoto at this time?

Besides, Princess Changping is an unmarried woman after all. If he goes there, Shen Wanying might be unhappy.

For both moral and logical reasons, and for both public and private reasons, he could not go to Qin.

The emperor was a little surprised to see Chu Ning's firm attitude.

How could Chu Ning miss such a good thing? Logically, shouldn't Chu Ning go for help?

Could it be that this guy really has no intention of marrying Princess Changping?

Thinking of this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance. If we send a prince there, we must naturally send the most promising person to avoid being laughed at."

He glanced at the princes and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Among the remaining princes, the Thirteenth Prince had the best martial arts skills, but his literary talent was far inferior.

As for the other princes, their martial arts skills were mediocre, and although they had some literary talent, it was not much.

If these people are sent to the Qin State, they will probably be disgraced.

It's a pity that the third and sixth brothers are not here, otherwise these two people would be both talented in literature and martial arts and would be able to show off their talents.

Although the remaining few people are survivors, if it weren’t for Chu Ning, they would have been killed by the third brother long ago.

It is not easy to pick the tallest one among the short ones.

While thinking, the eleventh prince rolled his eyes and suggested, "Father, the Qin Kingdom is looking for a husband for Princess Changping this time, and all dynasties will send people there. By then, with all the talents gathered, it is inevitable that there will be a competition."

"Although I have some talent, I am afraid I may not be able to handle it. It would be better if you ask your father to order your eighteenth brother to go with me."

"If you encounter a problem, I'm sure you can solve it with my intelligence."

"As for the matter of enthroning the crown prince, you can prepare for it first. When my eighteenth brother returns from Qin, I think it will be in time."

If Chu Ning could be pulled to Qin at this time, it would be equivalent to delaying Chu Ning.

Once he successfully marries Princess Changping, he will be able to compete with Chu Ning!

The twelfth prince also reacted and quickly agreed, "Father, what the eleventh brother said makes sense. I am also willing to go to the Qin State with the eighteenth brother!"

Such a good opportunity certainly cannot be monopolized by the Eleventh Prince, he must also have a share.

What if Princess Changping falls in love with him?

The emperor looked at the two people vying for the first place, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

If Chu Ning is transferred away at this time, without Chu Ning in charge, the Bingzhou troops in the city will be leaderless.

In this way, he can control the situation in the city.

There is not much danger in going to Qin State to find a wife, so Chu Ning probably has no reason to refuse.

Thinking of this, the emperor nodded slightly: "What you two said is not unreasonable, and the Emperor of Qin also asked me to send a few more princes over."

"In that case, let Chu Ning go to Qin with the two of you."

These words made Chu Ning raise his eyebrows and a hint of coldness flashed across his face.

Transferring him away at this time is clearly an attempt to deliberately sideline him.

Once he left Kyoto at this time, he would be giving up the good situation he had obtained.

Only a fool would agree to this!

Chu Ning immediately stood up and said in a cold voice: "Father, I have already said that this opportunity is for other brothers."

"Besides, the Crown Prince's enthronement ceremony needs to be prepared. How can I leave at this time?"

Even the emperor did not expect such a harsh rejection.

Judging from the situation, if Chu Ning is forced to go to Qin, this guy will probably really take action.

Just when the emperor was in a dilemma, the Qin envoy suddenly took out a letter from his bosom:

"Your Highness, Prince of Chu, this is the letter that Princess Changping asked me to give you. She also said that you will definitely come to our dynasty after reading it!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked!

Where did Princess Changping get the confidence to get Chu Ning to go to Qin with just a letter?
