The best ring

"Damn it!" Yuan Ji's face was so gloomy that he slammed the table.

He made a lot of sacrifices for this matter, even giving away his concubine, but in the end, he got this ending, which really made him very disappointed.

Hou Yi's face was equally ugly. Before entering the palace, they were already thinking about how to celebrate their victory. As a result, things did not develop as they expected.

"Yuan Shangshu, what should we do now?" Hou Yi asked: "I have just discovered that none of the people in the court are cheap. At this critical moment, they all have their own ideas, and all of them are very ambitious. ”

Today's events have shown that the officials in the DPRK are not as honest as they appear on the surface. They have overestimated their influence among the officials.

Speaking of which, this matter was indeed their negligence. Originally, with Hou Zhong in their camp, they could get the handle of many officials. As a result, a series of events later distracted Hou Zhong's attention and made his The focus shifted to Imperial Physician Liu and the First Prince. Precisely because of this, they did not waste too much time and energy on the officials of the court. In their view, as long as they captured Imperial Physician Liu and the First Prince, then Officials in the DPRK will definitely stand on their side.

It is precisely because of this negligence that led to the current result. Now, the situation within the DPRK has changed. Even if Hou Zhong comes back immediately and uses the information in his hands to threaten those officials, it is already too late. The new situation in the DPRK The pattern has been set.

"Those bastards, if I have a chance in the future, I will deal with them one by one!" Yuan Ji said fiercely: "Now, what we can do is to find more useful evidence to prove that the imperial edict in Zhao Lun's hands is false. At the same time, we must Continue to rescue His Highness the Second Prince.”

When Hou Yi heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Doctor Liu is the only one who knows about this matter. His words can't directly overturn Zhao Lun. Where can we find more useful evidence?"

Yuan Ji also frowned when he heard this.

Yes, Imperial Physician Liu is the person who knows this matter best. However, his words still cannot completely prove that the will in Zhao Lun's hands is false. There is only one way to prove that there is something wrong with the will in Zhao Lun's hands. :

The old emperor personally proved it!

But this is obviously impossible. The old emperor has passed away, and this matter has become unproven. Therefore, it is obviously impossible for them to come up with more favorable evidence. In this way, they want to It became very difficult to prove that the imperial edict in Zhao Lun's hands was fake.

On the other hand, it is not an easy task for them to rescue the second prince Zhao Ke, at least not much progress has been made yet.

The current situation is quite unfavorable to them.

"Now that Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang are involved, this matter will become even more difficult," Hou Yi said.

"I've actually seen for a long time that those old foxes can't just sit back and watch." Yuanji sneered, "Now that I have the chance, I can't stand it any longer."

As both ministers, Yuan Ji knew Zhou Yanfeng and others quite well. From the very beginning, Yuan Ji had never underestimated Zhou Yanfeng and others. However, at that time, their main opponent was the third prince Zhao Lun, and therefore, they did not take it too seriously. They also targeted Zhou Yanfeng and several others.

And now, as expected, Zhou Yanfeng and the others couldn't help but get involved.

"They are not easy to deal with, and now they are all involved, making this matter even more troublesome." Hou Yi said worriedly.

The current situation was not good for them, but now that Zhou Yanfeng and others have gotten involved, the matter has become even more difficult.

"It's okay, they can't stir up any trouble." Yuanji said: "As long as we find evidence and rescue the second prince, everything is still under our control. After all, the throne cannot remain vacant. Sooner or later, someone will sit on it. ”

However, Hou Yi was not as optimistic as Yuan Ji, saying: "I'm afraid that even if His Highness the Second Prince comes out, this matter will be very troublesome. Since Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang have entered the situation, they cannot leave easily. The rights they have obtained, Are they willing to give up? I’m afraid that when the time comes, they will find reasons to delay this matter.”

Yuan Ji frowned slightly when he heard this, which indeed made people worried.

Power is a good thing that everyone wants to have. Now that the six ministers hold the power, it would be very difficult to get Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang to give up. Not to mention these two, even Guan Zhuo and Qi Kai would probably not be able to. They would easily give up the rights they had obtained. When the time comes, they can find reasons to delay. After all, the second prince Zhao Ke did not have a will. Although the late emperor summoned Zhao Ke before his death, he did not have time to make any decision. Therefore , if Zhou Yanfeng and others deliberately cause trouble, it will definitely not be easy for them to support Zhao Ke to ascend the throne.

"What you said makes sense." Yuan Ji said: "Zhou Yanfeng and the others will not give up their rights easily. We have to guard against this."

Hou Yi nodded and said: "Now, the only ones who are likely to inherit the throne are the eldest prince, second prince and third prince. If the eldest prince and third prince die, even if Zhou Yanfeng and others want to delay, there is nothing they can do. What an excuse. When the time comes, they can only choose to support His Highness the Second Prince’s ascension to the throne.”

Hearing Hou Yi's words, Yuanji's heart skipped a beat.

Hou Yi's statement is very bold, but also very realistic.

If Zhou Yanfeng and others want to delay and prevent Zhao Ke from ascending the throne, they will certainly jump between several princes. They may not support the eldest prince and the third prince, but this does not prevent them from using the eldest prince and the third prince. After all, one of them is the eldest son and the other has the will. In theory, they can ascend the throne and become emperors. Zhou Yanfeng and others can use these two as shields to prevent them from supporting the second prince to ascend the throne.

But if the eldest prince and the third prince are dead, Zhou Yanfeng and others will naturally have no excuse. In this way, the resistance they will encounter when supporting Zhao Ke to ascend the throne will be much smaller.

In addition, if the third prince is dead, they don’t have to bother to investigate the will. No matter whether the will is true or false, a dead person cannot be emperor, which will save them a lot of time and energy.

Thinking about it this way, the death of the third prince is a lot of benefits for them.

Moreover, Hou Zhong is already hunting down the eldest prince, so killing one more prince now doesn't seem to be a big deal. Killing one prince is killing one, killing two princes is killing one more, so killing one more is completely acceptable.
