The best ring
Chapter 2236 Taking Over the Mansion
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Yuan Ji murmured to himself, with a look of disbelief on his face. He subconsciously took a few steps back. When he reacted, he violently shook the second prince's body, hoping to wake him up.
However, it was obviously impossible for Zhao Ke, who had died, to wake up again. The more Yuan Ji shook, the more ferocious his face became.
"Wake up, wake up! You can't die!" Yuan Ji roared rather rudely.
Yuan Ji's gaffe is easy to understand. After all, he pinned all his hopes on Zhao Ke. Even if it was difficult before, he never gave up. But now, just when he thought he was about to succeed, he failed. It was because he couldn't accept such a change.
Hou Yi's face was also very ugly, but he didn't lose his composure like Yuan Ji. He looked at Zhao Ke who didn't move at all, and he was already thinking about his retreat.
Obviously, once Zhao Ke dies, it will be meaningless for him to persist. Other princes may ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor, but it is completely impossible for Zhao Ke alone. For the sake of his future and his own life, Hou Yi must find a way out.
It is not difficult to find a way out, as long as he can find another prince to support him. With his status as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, if he takes the initiative to vote, there is a high probability that he will be accepted. However, his treatment cannot be as good as that of supporting Zhao Ke. , after all, he voted halfway, and it was even more impossible for him to control the supported objects and gain power in the DPRK like He Yuanji had planned before, but at least he could save his life.
However, which prince should be supported is a difficult problem. If he makes the wrong choice again, he may fall into the abyss.
Ordinarily, in the case of the sudden sudden death of the second prince, the only ones who can hope to inherit the throne are the eldest prince and the third prince. The eldest prince is not in the imperial capital now, so he has natural weaknesses. From this point of view, he seems to have no choice but to Support the third prince Zhao Lun.
However, Hou Yi was unwilling to support Zhao Lun.
Because, in Hou Yi's heart, he has never thought highly of Zhao Lun. Moreover, Zhao Lun is not very capable and has many ideas, which are beyond his control. More importantly, he was hostile to Zhao Lun before. Yes, with Zhao Lun's personality, it is not impossible to take revenge on him after he ascends the throne.
But if you don't support Zhao Lun, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome. After all, under the current circumstances, Zhao Lun is already the prince most likely to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. If he doesn't join him, he will be liquidated soon. , even the chance to give it a try is gone.
If you take refuge with Zhao Lun, you may encounter retaliation, but if you don't take refuge with Zhao Lun, you will definitely face retaliation.
From this point of view, it seems that this matter is not difficult to make a decision.
Looking at Yuan Ji who was still shaking Zhao Ke crazily in front of him, Hou Yi had already made up his mind. After leaving here, he would go find Zhao Lun. The faster, the better. If he was slow, he might not have a chance.
While Hou Yi was silently thinking about his own concerns, the hall exploded.
"Your Highness, is he dead?"
"How is this possible?"
"Yeah, you were fine just now, why are you dead now?"
"Looking at the appearance of Yuan Shangshu and Hou Shangshu, it doesn't look like it's fake. It's so surprising."
"The second prince died suddenly, what should we do?"
"Yeah, isn't this a disaster for us? If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
"It's over, it's all over this time."
...
The ministers who attended the banquet were talking a lot, and one of them looked worried. In addition to the unexpected death of Zhao Ke, what they said was more about their worries about their future. As for being sad for Zhao Ke, there were not many. indivual.
Being able to attend Zhao Ke's banquet tonight is to show their support for Zhao Ke. Originally, this is nothing. After all, in their view, Zhao Ke is definitely the next emperor of their Yanfeng Kingdom. , even if it is to let others know that they support Zhao Ke.
But now, Zhao Ke suddenly died suddenly, and everything has become different. No matter who the next emperor of their Yanfeng Kingdom is, it will definitely not be Zhao Ke, and they are supporting Zhao Ke in such a high-profile way. What would the emperor think? How will they be treated?
It’s definitely not going to get better!
Therefore, at this time, they could no longer care about being sad for Zhao Ke, but instead complained more about Zhao Ke.
Zhao Ke's death affected them!
"Everyone!" At this time, Guanzhuo stepped forward, looked at the ministers who were complaining, and said, "Colleagues, you cannot leave for the time being."
"Why?"
"Yeah, why don't you let us go?"
"Guan Shangshu, what do you mean by this? Why don't you let us go?"
...
The people who were already unhappy became even more angry after hearing Guan Zhuo's words. They seemed to have found an outlet to express their dissatisfaction to Guan Zhuo.
Guanzhuo looked at the angry people, unmoved at all. He looked at the people and said solemnly: "Because His Highness the Second Highness died suddenly and suddenly, I need to investigate the cause of his death. Before completing the investigation, none of you can leave here. ”
"Guanzhuo, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that we killed the Second Highness?"
"Yes, Guanzhuo, please speak clearly!"
"Guanzhuo, although you are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, you cannot slander others."
...
Guanzhuo's words made everyone even more angry. They were already uncomfortable because of Zhao Ke's sudden death, but now Zhao Ke actually suspected that they killed Zhao Ke, which made them even more unbearable.
Guan Zhuo said with a gloomy face: "Before the truth is investigated, everyone present today is a suspect!"
"You are talking nonsense! I am leaving, let's see what you can do!"
"Yes, let's see what you can do!"
......
"Guards in the mansion, listen to my orders!" Guan Zhuo said loudly: "I order you as the Minister of Justice to close the gate of the mansion immediately. No one is allowed to leave before the scene is investigated!"
This is Zhao Ke's mansion, so there is no shortage of guards. After learning that Zhao Ke suddenly died, these guards panicked and didn't know what to do. Now they suddenly heard Guan Zhuo's order. They didn't accept or refuse, but seemed at a loss.
"Don't you want to find out the murderer of the second prince?!" Guan Zhuo said in a deep voice.
The guards were refreshed when they heard the words. Some of them went to close the gate, while others stared at the officials in the hall.
Guan Zhuo's words touched their hearts. They really wanted to know the real cause of death of the second prince. The death of the second prince not only affected the ministers present at the scene, but also their guards. As the guards of the second prince's mansion, they shared the honor and disgrace with Zhao Ke. Now that Zhao Ke died suddenly, their future was also affected. Naturally, they were angry.
