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

Chapter 413: Power reduction!

Chu Ning's mentality changed.

As Chu Ning's bedmate, Shen Wanying clearly felt that Chu Ning was different at this moment.

Chu Ning, who has always been cynical, has never thought about the throne or the idea of vying for the throne.

Even if he arranged personnel and officials in the court, his purpose was only to feed the Bingzhou troops and maintain peace in a corner.

But at this moment, Chu Ning clearly felt the power of imperial power.

No matter how powerful you are in the court or how many troops you have, once the emperor speaks, everything can be taken back.

The only way to avoid being controlled by others is to take control of the imperial power yourself.

Or, the power in their hands is so great that even the emperor cannot shake it.

However, Shen Wanying understood that even Chu Ning himself might not be aware of this change in mentality.

She only knew that Chu Ning was in a bad mood at the moment and needed her comfort.

The two of them hugged each other like this, relying on their body temperature to warm each other.

At the same time, in the Imperial Palace, inside the Yingwu Hall.

Civil and military officials gathered together and stood on the left and right sides respectively.

On the main seat, the emperor had a gloomy face and said in a cold voice: "The second prince Chu Ming was so crazy that he surrounded and killed the prince of Zhao. Although I sent the king of Chu to rescue him, he was still a step too late. Now the prince of Zhao has been killed, and Chu Ming committed suicide out of fear of punishment!

Zhao Tianling's death will definitely lead to disputes between Zhao and our dynasty. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was suddenly in an uproar.

"Didn't the alliance succeed? Why did it evolve to this point?"

"The Second Prince is confused, so confused!"

"What should we do? The crown prince of Zhao has been killed. Zhao will definitely go to war with our dynasty."

"Yes, our dynasty has finally recovered and recuperated for a few months. If war breaks out again, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people."

For a time, everyone was very worried, and no one wanted to go to war with Zhao State at this time.

This scene made the emperor sitting on the throne look ugly.

Although he had anticipated this outcome, he could not hide his disappointment when he saw that all the ministers did not dare to deal with it head-on.

What kind of people have I supported over the years!

The disappointed emperor snorted coldly: "Stop arguing, Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Prime Minister Yang Wende, who was named, straightened his face, and quickly stood up, saluted and replied: "Your Majesty, Zhao will definitely send troops, and our dynasty must prepare countermeasures in advance.

If Zhao wants to attack our dynasty, it will definitely pass through Bingzhou. I suggest that His Royal Highness the King of Chu rush to Bingzhou and take charge personally."

This statement was echoed by other officials.

"Yes, Your Majesty. His Royal Highness the King of Chu is in charge of Bingzhou. With His Royal Highness the King of Chu in charge, we will definitely be able to resist the troops of Zhao!"

"Yes, yes, let the King of Chu go to Bingzhou to resist the State of Zhao!"

"Zhao has been defeated three times in a row by the King of Chu. Only the King of Chu can deal with them!"

"That's right, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is the nemesis of the State of Zhao!"

At this moment, the King of Chu became their savior.

However, the emperor did not comment on the answers of the crowd, neither opposing nor agreeing.

After a cup of tea, all the ministers realized that the emperor had not spoken a word, and the noise at the scene gradually quieted down.

After the whole place was completely silent, the emperor turned to look at the Grand Tutor and asked calmly, "Grand Tutor, what do you think?"

The ministers all looked at the Grand Tutor standing in the first seat on the right.

At this moment, the Grand Tutor's brows were furrowed, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

As the emperor's enlightenment teacher, Taifu knew the emperor's character very well.

If the prime minister's suggestion is adopted, the emperor will not need to ask him.

Since you asked him, it means you don't want to adopt the Prime Minister's suggestion.

In other words, the emperor doesn't want Chu Ning to go to Bingzhou!

The Grand Tutor, who understood what was happening, quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate for His Royal Highness the King of Chu to go to Bingzhou."

"Oh?"

The emperor pretended to be surprised: "Why did the Grand Tutor say that?"

The Grand Tutor said sternly, "Your Majesty just said that the King of Chu was also involved in this matter, but he was too late to rescue them. This is one of the crimes of the King of Chu.

The King of Chu had always been opposed to the alliance with the State of Zhao and also opposed marriage, which led to the situation developing to this point. This was his second crime.

Furthermore, our dynasty may not be unable to negotiate peace with the State of Zhao on this matter. If we send the King of Chu to Bingzhou, it will be tantamount to blocking the road to peace talks.

Instead of doing this, it would be better for Your Majesty to punish the King of Chu for his two previous crimes so that he cannot go to the front line, and then dispatch capable people to the front line to command.

On the other hand, we can send peace envoys to Zhao State. If the peace talks are successful, that would be great.”

The emperor nodded slightly when he heard this, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The teacher still understands me!

"My dear ministers, what do you think of what the Grand Tutor said?" The emperor glanced at his ministers.

The ministers were not fools and they all understood that the emperor and the tutor were acting.

If the emperor disagrees, just reject it directly. There is no need to ask for their opinions.

Asking means getting them to agree!

Although they felt that Chu Ning was the best candidate to go to Bingzhou, since the emperor had already spoken, they couldn't say much.

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "Taifu is absolutely right!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since all of you agree with the Grand Tutor's suggestion, this matter will be settled. Let the Ministry of Rites send a minister to lead some people to the State of Zhao for peace talks.

As for the person to go to Bingzhou... let the Minister of War Feng Anguo go."

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers bowed and saluted.

But the emperor was not satisfied, and continued: "As for Chu Ning's punishment, he did fail to save the crown prince of Zhao this time."

After a pause, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Let him be responsible for the imperial examination, and he does not need to take care of the frontline and Bingzhou affairs for the time being.

This matter has been settled. My dear ministers, go and do your respective duties and prepare for war with Zhao State in advance!"

"We obey your orders!" The ministers bowed and withdrew.

Although this meeting did not deprive Chu Ning of the right to govern Bingzhou, it did not allow Chu Ning to go to the front line.

Naturally, the ministers did not dare to say much about this. Who dared to question the emperor's order?

Only Liu Shouren had a sad and worried look on his face.

By doing this, the emperor is suppressing the King of Chu!

With a worried look on his face, Liu Shouren left the palace and went straight to the Prince of Chu's Palace.

Three quarters of an hour later, in the living room of the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

Liu Shouren quickly repeated the emperor's order.

Sitting in the main seat, Chu Ning listened and drank tea.

After listening, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed across them.

"You didn't let me go to the front line, but only let me be in charge of the imperial examination. But you sent Lord Feng Anguo to Bingzhou. Father thinks that Feng Anguo is Feng Mulan's father. I will not refuse this."

Chu Ning sneered: "Bingzhou belongs to me. Anyone who wants to go to Bingzhou needs to ask my opinion!"

Chu Ning was very dissatisfied with the emperor's unauthorized decision to let Feng Anguo go to Bingzhou.

Liu Shouren's expression changed slightly: "Your Highness, do you want to disobey orders?"

"Disobedience?"

Chu Ning sneered: "Father is hoping that I will disobey his orders so that he can take the opportunity to take back some of the power. During this period, Bingzhou has developed too fast and has caused Father's fear!

Feng Anguo used to support the Second Prince, but now that the Second Prince has committed suicide in front of me, there is no guarantee that he will not have complaints against me, and he might even cause trouble if he goes to Bingzhou!

Father, you sent this man to Bingzhou with bad intentions!"

Liu Shouren reacted: "This...what should I do?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, stood up and said slowly: "Since my father has begun to be wary and even wants to weaken my strength, I will make sure that my father doesn't even have the thought of being wary!

This king wants to talk to Feng Anguo in person. If he understands, it’s fine. If not, this king will have to use some tricks! "

Liu Shouren was shocked by Chu Ning's aura.

At this moment, he suddenly felt as if a sleeping dragon was waking up in front of him!
