Guanzhuo’s position is very important!

Not only Zhou Yanfeng and others realized this, but also Yuan Ji and the other two realized this.

The seven-person group is now divided into two factions, and each faction has the same number of people. In this case, Guan Zhuo, who remains neutral, naturally becomes the most critical figure. Wherever he stands, he will be stronger than the other side and thus gain the power of the court.

Zhou Yanfeng and the other two agreed that they would go to Guanzhuo's yamen recently. Even if Guanzhuo cannot be brought into their camp, they would never be allowed to join Yuanji and the other three.

At the same time, Yuan Ji and Hou Yi, who were heading towards Zhao Lun's mansion, were also thinking about almost the same things, and they also realized the importance of Guan Zhuo.

What happened just now, no matter what purpose Zhao Lun was standing on their side for, it all shows that they and Zhao Lun were also likely to cooperate. In this way, their number was the same as Zhou Yanfeng and the other two, but just being equal is not enough. If they want to control the situation in the North Korea and China, they must overwhelm the other party. Therefore, the importance of Guan Zhuo is very important.

"During this time, we have to go to the Ministry of Justice." Yuan Ji said to Hou Yi: "Whether it is for the second prince's business or Guan Zhuo himself, we have to go to the Ministry of Justice."

There were only Yuan Ji and Hou Yi in the carriage, and the third prince Zhao Lun was in his own carriage.

Hou Yi nodded in agreement.

They just provided new clues to Guan Zhuo, and there was a reason to go to the Ministry of Justice more often. Moreover, they helped Guan Zhuo handle the case. Guan Zhuo should not be too cold to them. They could just strike while the iron was hot and bring their relationship closer to Guan Zhuo. It would be best to pull Guan Zhuo into their own camp. No matter how bad it is, Guan Zhuo cannot join Zhou Yanfeng and others.

Once Guan Zhuo joins Zhou Yanfeng and others' camp, even if they have Zhao Lun's help and even if the second prince Zhao Ke is released from prison, they will be very difficult for them to deal with it later.

"Why do you think Zhao Lun helped us just now?" Hou Yi asked: "In theory, we are not on the same boat as him. He should have understood this himself. If it weren't for our obstruction, he would have ascended the throne and became emperor yesterday. I'm afraid he would have hated us to death. I didn't expect that he would have chosen to stand on our side today without any conditions. It was really surprising."

"I was also surprised at first, but then I figured it out." Yuan Ji said: "From Zhao Lun's perspective, he doesn't want us and Zhou Yanfeng to control the court. What he most wants to see is that we and Zhou Yanfeng are in a stalemate, and no one can control the power. In this way, he can plan his own ascendance to the throne. Otherwise, no matter who we have, he will basically have no hope for him to ascend the throne. He must hate us in his heart, and even wishes us to die. But in this situation, he can only choose to help us. He does this, on the surface, but in fact, he is helping himself."

Yuan Ji was also surprised by Zhao Lun's behavior at first, but soon he couldn't figure it out and said that Zhao Lun had forgiven them, but he didn't believe it at all. He could only say that Zhao Lun did this entirely because of his own consideration and was seeking benefits for himself.

Hou Yi nodded, agreeing with Yuan Ji's analysis. He continued: "So, he invited us to his house, and he also wanted to create the illusion that he had formed an alliance with us?"

"There are reasons for this." Yuanji said: "But I think he might have other ideas."

"What's the idea?"

"The throne!"

"The throne?"

"Yes." Yuan Ji said with a slight look: "Zhao Lun is still coveting the throne, and he will not give up so willingly. His only advantage now is that he has the will in his hand, but his disadvantage is that it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the will. At the same time, because of his past behavior, his image in the hearts of all officials was not good. There were not many people on his side, especially among the six ministers, no one clearly supported him. In this case, it was undoubtedly difficult for him to ascend the throne."

"So, he wants to win us over and let us support him?"

"This is very likely!" Yuan Ji nodded and said, "After Zhou Yanfeng and the other two formed a small group, their desire for power was overwhelming. In this case, it was not easy for Zhao Lun to win over them, but we were different. We were at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Zhou Yanfeng and others, and it was the time to support it. Moreover, the Second Highness has not come out in prison, which also made Zhao Lun feel that it was an opportunity to win over us."

Hou Yi nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. It seems that Zhao Lun is really trying to make a decision, but he is afraid he will be disappointed."

Yuan Ji smiled and said, "Yes, Zhao Lun is destined to be disappointed. We will not support him at all, and he does not deserve our support!"

Yuanji and Hou Yi looked at each other and smiled. Obviously, both of them had the same idea.

The second prince is indeed still in prison, but they have found very critical evidence and people. With these, the second prince will soon leave the prison.

The reputation of the second prince is obviously much better than that of the third prince. It will be easier to choose to support the second prince. Of course, what is more important is the personality of the third prince!

Neither Yuan Ji nor Hou Yi were fools, and at the same time, they also knew Zhao Lun very well.

Zhao Lun is definitely not a generous person. Although Zhao Lun just helped them, in fact, Zhao Lun hated them a lot. After all, it was precisely because of their obstruction that Zhao Lun did not succeed in ascending the throne yesterday. Zhao Lun is also a very scrupulous person. If Yuan Ji and the others really want to help Zhao Lun ascend the throne, they are afraid that it won’t take long before Zhao Lun will settle the score with them.

After all, they are the confidants of the second prince, not Zhao Lun's confidants, and Zhao Lun definitely does not trust them.

Also, after the fuss yesterday, although it was not possible to completely prove that the will in Zhao Lun was fake, I believe many people have doubts about it. Even if they helped Zhao Lun ascend the throne and become emperor, Zhao Lun, the new emperor, would be questioned by many people, and would even cause great trouble in the future.

Therefore, for this reason, Yuan Ji and Hou Yi obviously prefer to support Zhao Ke and wait for Zhao Ke to be released from prison rather than to transfer to Zhao Lun's name.

"However, I don't know when the second prince will be released from prison. We can temporarily deal with Zhao Lun." Yuan Ji said.
