The best ring

Wu Fan agreed with Zhou Guang's idea. With one move in his hand, who would be willing to give up his power?

Not only Zhou Yanfeng and others did not want Zhao Ke to be released from prison, Zhao Lun and even the other princes also did not want Zhao Ke to be released from prison.

And Wu Fan also doesn’t want Zhao Ke to be released from prison!

Wu Fan came to Yanyang City this time not just for fun, he had a mission:

Support Zhao Qi to become the emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom!

This task is very difficult. Nowadays, there are many people in Yanfeng who want to compete for the throne, and they all have their own supporters. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Zhao Qi, as a woman, to compete for the throne. Like ascending to heaven.

It is undoubtedly a good thing to have one less competitor. Therefore, Wu Fan also does not want Zhao Ke to be released from prison.

Now that the eldest prince had escaped, the second prince was in prison, and only the third prince was still living safely in his house, Wu Fan first targeted the third prince, Zhao Lun.

Before leaving, Wu Fan asked about the situation in the Hermit Village.

"Sir, everything is fine in Hermit Village." Zhou Guang said: "Although the court no longer recognizes your identity as the captain of the Hermit Village soldiers, the old village chief still supports our industry. The construction of Hermit Village and Production has never stopped, the city wall in the village is about to be completed, and the output of various materials is increasing, except for wine. "

Because of the failure of the previous mission, Wu Fan lost everything in Yanfeng country, but this "everything" was only on the surface. Wu Fan had a good relationship with the old village chief, and the old village chief did not seem to regard the court as Taking his words into consideration, he still supported Wu Fan's matter. There was no sign of chaos in the Hermitage Village. What's more, Niu Er led the team back, which also made the Hermitage Village more stable.

As for the wine, because Wu Fan had brewed it himself before, although this ensured the taste of the wine, the production of wine became a big problem in Wu Fan's absence.

"Ignore the wine thing for now, you just need to do other things well." Wu Fan said.

Nowadays, wine is just a dispensable thing for Wu Fan. Selling more wine can only make more money. And Wu Fan is not short of money now, and there are many things that can make money. Naturally. There is no need to be obsessed with wine.

"Yes, sir." Zhou Guang said respectfully.

During this time in the imperial capital, Wu Fan planned to live in the Zhou Mansion, but this did not mean that he would stay in the mansion all the time. After chatting with Zhou Guang, he left the Zhou Mansion and headed towards the third prince Zhao Lun. Go to the mansion.

Among the three princes, Zhao Lun is still the one closest to the throne and is naturally the one who poses the greatest threat.

At this time, Zhao Lun was receiving civilian officials and military generals in the palace.

This is what Zhao Lun has been doing these days.

At this time, Zhao Lun had realized that the reason why his last coronation ceremony failed was because there were too few people who supported him. He had previously thought that he could successfully ascend the throne and become emperor with the imperial edict in hand, but now that he thought about it, it was too much. He was naive, and there were not enough officials to support him. Even if he had a posthumous edict in his hand, it would still be difficult for him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Therefore, these days, he has been in contact with officials in the DPRK, whether they are civil servants or military generals, whether they are high-ranking or low-ranking, he has seen them all. Although he is a little tired, he has indeed gained something. Many civil servants and military generals have expressed their loyalty to him.

Zhao Lun was happy and regretful about this. He was happy because there were more and more civil servants and military generals around him, and his strength was getting stronger. He was regretful because he had only realized this now. If he had done it earlier, If you lower your profile and have more contact with these civil servants and military generals, then the previous enthronement ceremony may not have failed.

"Fortunately, it's not too late!" Zhao Lun comforted himself.

In Zhao Lun's view, he is still in the leading position in inheriting the throne, ahead of other princes. As long as he gathers enough power around him, the throne will still be his!

Thinking of this, Zhao Lun thought of Yuan Ji and Hou Yi again.

The identity and status of these two people are not comparable to other civil servants and military generals. If he can get the support of these two people, his strength will definitely increase several times. At the same time, it can also weaken the power around the second prince Zhao Ke. You know , Yuan Ji and Hou Yi are strong supporters of Zhao Ke. If these two change their families, it will inevitably be a huge loss for Zhao Ke. At the same time, the officials who had previously moved closer to Zhao Ke will reconsider their choice of camp.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Lun attaches great importance to Yuan Ji and Hou Yi, although he hates these two people very much in his heart. After all, if it were not for these two people, he would be the emperor now, and their lives would be ruined. for his coronation ceremony.

But now, Zhao Lun, who has recognized the reality, has to temporarily put aside his hatred towards the two people and win them over to support him. As for the previous hatred, Zhao Lun will naturally not forget it, but that will have to wait until he ascends the throne and becomes emperor. , and then settle accounts with those two people.

Yesterday, Zhao Lun showed his goodwill to Yuan Ji and Hou Yi, and the two responded very positively. They were invited to be guests. This made Zhao Lun very satisfied and thought it was a very good phenomenon. With this beginning, things will be better in the future. It went smoothly.

In Zhao Lun's opinion, he needs the help of Yuanji and Hou Yi, and Yuanji and Hou Yi also need him. In fact, this desire is greater than his desire for them, because the second prince Zhao Ke is still in prison, and there is no sign of him coming out for the time being. Yuanji and Hou Yi cannot always support Zhao Ke. The reason why they support Zhao Ke is definitely because they think they can get enough rewards from Zhao Ke. Once they realize that they may not get any rewards from Zhao Ke, then they will consider changing their allegiance and choosing a new target.

At this time, he showed goodwill to them again, and naturally he would become their first choice.

"Now, the most important thing is to ensure that the second prince cannot come out of the prison. As long as the second prince cannot come out, Yuanji and Hou Yi will definitely choose to support me." Zhao Lun thought secretly in his heart.

Only when Yuanji and Hou Yi's thoughts are completely cut off, will they firmly support him. Zhao Lun is very clear about this. Once Zhao Ke is released from prison, Yuanji and Hou Yi will abandon him without hesitation and go to find Zhao Ke. After all, they have invested a lot in Zhao Ke before. As long as Zhao Ke is still there, as long as Zhao Ke has the possibility of ascending the throne to become emperor, Zhao Ke will be their first choice. Only when Zhao Ke cannot ascend the throne to become emperor, will they support others instead.
