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

"Chu Ning went to look for Princess Changping, but didn't see her?"

Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

When the King of Chu heard Zhao Ming's report, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He had heard about the relationship between Princess Changping and Chu Ning, but now he hadn't even seen her.

Zhao Ming bowed his head and explained in a low voice: "A woman cannot meet a man before she gets married. Princess Daqin must also abide by the rules."

"However, Gan Long and the Crown Prince have met, and the two seemed to have parted on bad terms, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also brought the imperial edict with him."

The emperor, who was originally a little surprised, suddenly showed a look of helplessness.

"He has grown strong now. I can no longer control him. But if he acts like this, he will definitely offend the Qin State."

The emperor paced back and forth in the hall, raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Pay close attention to the Qin State's movements, and also send a message to Feng Anguo, asking him to recruit troops as soon as possible and deploy heavy troops at the border with Qin State."

Things have already happened, and he cannot change Chu Ning's decision, let alone interfere with the decision of the Emperor of Qin.

The only thing that can be done is to let Feng Anguo prepare in advance. If Qin launches an attack, it will definitely come from Yan.

However, the State of Yan had just been destroyed by them, and it was a time when everything needed to be rebuilt. If the State of Qin took action at this moment, it would be difficult for them to deal with it.

Zhao Ming was shocked when he heard this: "Your Majesty, do you think the Qin Empire will take action?"

The emperor looked at him coldly and said, "Who do you think the Emperor of Great Qin is? Is it really just for the marriage alliance that he is deliberately seeking to form an alliance with our dynasty?"

"Humph, Ying Zheng is a vindictive man. This time Chu Ning made his daughter a concubine, which is exactly the reason for him to take action."

"Just wait. Once this matter is settled, the Great Qin Emperor will definitely take action."

He sighed and said helplessly: "This time, I am afraid that our dynasty will face the most powerful opponent."

Zhao Ming's face changed drastically: "This... Can't we persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let Princess Changping become the Crown Princess?"

"The Princess of Chu has always been sensible and reasonable. She certainly doesn't want to see the two dynasties go to war."

Everyone in Kyoto City knows Shen Wanying's personality. She will definitely not compete for the position of Crown Princess.

As long as Shen Wanying is willing to make concessions, this matter can be resolved.

But the emperor shook his head and said speechlessly: "Do you think I don't know this? But the problem is that Chu Ning doesn't agree."

"He has come to me privately and has expressed his feelings. If Shen Wanying is not the Crown Princess, he would rather not be crowned as the Crown Prince."

"Now that things have come to this, I can only do as he says. However, he must bear any consequences himself."

After thinking about it, perhaps he felt that it was not a good idea to just sit there and wait for death, so he added:

"Immediately ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send some gifts over as a token of my appreciation, and to appease Princess Changping and Gan Long."

"I will go down and arrange it right away." Zhao Ming bowed and immediately withdrew.

Looking at Zhao Ming's departing back, a hint of helplessness flashed in the emperor's eyes.

Chu Ning knew clearly that this was a trap, but he still jumped into it, and no one could stop him.

Although he is the emperor, his power has now been basically hollowed out.

Among the six ministers of the court, five are Chu Ning's men, and the neutral factions such as the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister are no longer able to compete with Chu Ning.

He could no longer control the court, and Chu Ning basically had the final say. Otherwise, he would not have issued that imperial edict to Chu Ning.

"I hope the Emperor of Qin is not ready yet and won't send out troops so soon!"

The emperor secretly comforted himself.

In the next two days, Kyoto was bustling with activity. With so many people gathered together, the economy of Kyoto was boosted.

Many people took the opportunity to earn a lot of money, and they were very grateful to Chu Ning for this.

If it weren’t for Chu Ning, they wouldn’t have the chance to earn so much.

However, conflicts have occurred in the city in the past two days. After all, so many princes, marquises, and provincial governors have come with their families, and there will definitely be some conflicts when they meet.

Fortunately, Chu Ning had anticipated this and asked Guan Yun, who had taken over the city defense camp, to be responsible for public security in the city.

Although there were some conflicts, they were not serious and were all handled properly.

Two days later, Ying Zheng finally received a pigeon message from Gan Long.

Qin State, Xianyang Palace.

Ying was sitting in the main seat, holding Gan Long's handwritten letter in his hand, with a sneer on his face.

"As I expected, Chu Ning will definitely let Shen Wanying become the Crown Princess. Humph, this way, I have a reason to make trouble!"

"Send an order, General Bai Qi will lead 100,000 troops to the border of Yan and wait for orders."

"Order that General Sima Cuo cooperate with General Bai Qi to organize the troops and be ready to attack Yan at any time."

"Pass the order, Ying Ji will be the grain supervisor, responsible for coordinating all grain and wages, and mobilizing soldiers from surrounding counties to the border of Yan."

"This time, with 200,000 Qin troops approaching, it would be fine if Chu Ning surrenders, but if not, I will take the opportunity to seize Yan!"

"Yes!" the soldier responded and immediately went down to pass on the order.

Ying Zheng slowly stood up and walked to the door of the hall. Looking at the howling north wind outside the palace, a murderous look appeared on his face.

Chu Ning killed Bai Zong and Meng Tian, causing the Qin State to lose all face. How could he let it go?

This time, Princess Changping was married off as a chance to put pressure on the State of Chu.

Either Chu Ning surrenders and lets Princess Changping become the Crown Princess, thus giving Qin the opportunity to continue to infiltrate Chu in the future.

Either Chu Ning chooses to fight him to the end, and the Qin army has a legitimate reason to go to war. The two sides go to war, and the Qin army takes the opportunity to seize the Yan area.

After all, the Yan area had just been taken over by Chu Ning and had not yet stabilized. If the Qin State attacked, there was a great chance that it would be able to seize this area.

Once the Yan area was taken, the Qin State would be in direct contact with the Chu State.

By then, it would be much easier for Qin to invade Chu.

"Chu Ning, I am looking forward to whether you will give in or not!"

Ying Zheng sneered and said, "I just don't believe that you would go to war with my Qin State just for a woman!"

Although he had made preparations for the attack and mobilized an army of 200,000, he still didn't believe that Chu Ning would stick to the end.

He felt that Chu Ning was just pretending and putting on an act. If he was not tough, Chu Ning would be tough.

But as long as he becomes tough, Chu Ning will definitely give in.

Thinking of Chu Ning's expression when he received the news, Ying Zheng showed a sneer on his face.

This is his open conspiracy, which is to tell Chu Ning clearly whether he wants to jump into this trap or not!

If she jumped down, Princess Changping would become the Crown Princess of Chu State, or even the future Queen of Chu State.

By then, it would be much easier for the State of Qin to do anything it wanted, and it might even be able to control the government of the State of Chu through Princess Changping!

If Chu Ning did not fall into this trap, then Qin would have a reason to take action. In addition, there are not many Chu troops in Yan area now, and the 200,000 Qin troops will definitely be able to sweep across Yan area.

In short, Qin will not lose this time!

No matter what choice Chu Ning makes, the Qin State will remain invincible.
