The best ring

Zhao Xuan's words made Hou Zhong look extremely ugly.

Although his status was indeed not very bright in the past, because of the power in his hands and the trust of the old emperor, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks to him in person. It can be said that Zhao Xuan was definitely the first person to do so!

But he couldn't refute it yet, because Zhao Xuan was the prince and his master. Although he had not been responsible for Zhao Xuan in the past, Zhao Xuan was a member of the royal family after all, and he was fully qualified to scold him.

Thinking of Zhao Xuan scolding him like this in front of such ministers, Hou Zhong wanted to step forward and kill Zhao Xuan.

But he didn't dare. Although he had some skills, it was absolutely impossible for him to succeed as long as he did it. There were many masters at the scene, not to mention there were masters hiding in the dark.

Even if he was lucky enough to succeed, he would not be able to escape unscathed. It was not cost-effective to die together in order to kill Zhao Xuan, at least for him now. Although the situation was unfavorable to him, it was not yet a desperate situation.

Seeing that Hou Zhong was scolded by him, Zhao Xuan was very proud. After Zhao Ke's incident, the throne was no longer out of reach for Zhao Xuan. He also had the ability to reprimand Hou Zhong. people’s confidence.

At this time, Qi Kai, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward with a cheerful face, looked at everyone and said: "As for the matter of His Majesty being poisoned, it is better to leave it to the people of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to investigate. I believe they can investigate the truth of this matter. , This does not require our concern, they are professionals, what we have to do now is to immediately elect a new emperor to handle the affairs of the government and arrange His Majesty's funeral affairs."

Speaking of this, Qi Kai looked at the eldest prince Zhao Xuan and said: "I still think that His Highness the eldest prince is the best candidate for the new emperor. I still support His Highness the eldest prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. If you have any ideas, Might as well say it.”

Zhao Xuan had a confident smile on his face. If something happened to Zhao Ke, no one could threaten him.

Everyone at the scene, those who had clearly expressed their support for the eldest prince before, stood up and agreed. Some people who were neutral before also hesitated, including Li Yang and Zhou Yanfeng.

Although the selection of the new emperor has some twists and turns, judging from the current situation, the eldest prince Zhao Xuan is already guaranteed to win. If they do not express their support for the eldest prince at this time, they may hate them when the eldest prince ascends the throne. .

Just when Li Yang, Zhou Yanfeng and others were hesitant to express their support for Zhao Xuan, and when Zhao Xuan and others were sure of victory, the third prince Zhao Lun, who had been quietly watching the show, suddenly coughed twice.

"Ahem!"

Zhao Lun's coughing sound instantly attracted the attention of many people. After all, Zhao Lun was also a prince, and his statement was equally important.

"Third brother, what's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable in your throat?" Zhao Xuan looked at Zhao Lun and asked.

Zhao Xuan did not take Zhao Lun seriously. Because Zhao Ke had the support of Yuan Ji and others, he could still compete with him. Zhao Lun had nothing, so why should he compete with him?

Therefore, Zhao Xuan had automatically ignored Zhao Lun before.

"There's nothing wrong with my throat." Zhao Lun looked at Zhao Xuan and said, "I'm afraid that if I don't make a sound, you will forget about me."

Everyone looked at Zhao Lun. Zhao Lun was obviously preparing to say something. They were also curious to know what Zhao Lun's attitude was, whether he was supporting Zhao Xuan or preparing to support Zhao Ke.

"What, the third brother has something to say?" Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know what the third brother wants to say."

"What I want to say is that, as my father's son, I am also qualified to inherit the throne!" Zhao Lun said lightly.

Zhao Lun wants to fight for the throne?

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all understood what Zhao Lun meant. Everyone had different thoughts at that moment, but most people felt that Zhao Lun was humiliating himself by doing this. No one supported him at all, so what did he get? Going to argue with Zhao Xuan?

On the other hand, Yuan Ji and others looked at Zhao Lun with thoughtful eyes.

"You want to fight for the throne?" Zhao Xuan was also a little surprised by Zhao Ke's words, but soon a mocking smile appeared on his face: "Third brother, it is important to be self-aware. It is true that you are my father's child. But what are you trying to do to compete for the throne? When my father was still alive, he once said that he would not make you the crown prince. Obviously, you are not qualified to compete for the throne at all!"

The old emperor did say this, and he said it in public. Many people knew that this matter was still a hot topic at that time, and Zhao Lun also became a topic of conversation for many people after dinner.

Seeing that Zhao Lun actually wanted to compete for the throne, many people also remembered this matter.

However, Zhao Lun's expression remained unchanged and he said, "How do you know that my father is not protecting me by doing this?"

"Protecting you?" Zhao Xuan was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Zhao Lun to be so thick-skinned.

"That's right." Zhao Lun said: "My father may have wanted to make me the crown prince, but he was afraid of arousing opposition from many people, including you, second brother, and others, so he said that. But in fact, my father In my heart, I have already been chosen.”

Zhao Xuan looked at Zhao Lun, a little stunned. He never thought that Zhao Lun would actually say such nonsense. He even wondered if Zhao Lun was crazy.

Will the old emperor canonize Zhao Lun as crown prince?

No kidding!

Who doesn't know that the old emperor looks down upon Zhao Lun? Otherwise, the farce in the palace would not have happened. Where did Zhao Lun get the confidence that he dared to say that the old emperor wanted to make him the prince?

Simply ridiculous!

"Third brother, you haven't had a good rest recently. How can you say such nonsense?" Zhao Xuan mocked: "What qualifications do you have to be the emperor of our Yanfeng Kingdom? Do you have the will of my father or the support of the ministers?"

"Brother, you are right." Zhao Lun took out the imperial edict from his arms slowly: "I really have the will of my father!"

When Zhao Lun took out the imperial edict, the whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the imperial edict in Zhao Lun's hand.

They never thought that Zhao Lun actually had an imperial edict on him!

And, the imperial edict that could be taken out at this time obviously did not contain some insignificant things, but was likely related to the throne!

But since he had the imperial edict in his hand, why didn't he come out earlier, but let the eldest prince and the second prince fight here?

Could it be that he wanted to watch the show?

These people actually guessed right. The reason why Zhao Lun didn't take out the imperial edict earlier was to watch the show. With the imperial edict in his hand, he was not panicked at all. The scene of two princes fighting for the throne is not something you can see at any time. He was completely in the mood of watching a show, watching the two of them "perform".
