Chapter 2207 bad news
At this time, Zhou Guang would never have imagined that Wu Fan's preferred candidate for the new emperor was not the princes, but Princess Zhao Qi!
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Zhou Guang's lack of imagination. After all, this kind of thing is too incredible. Not to mention Zhou Guang, anyone else would never have thought of this.
While Wu Fan was thinking about helping Zhao Qi, news that Guan Zhuo was preparing to release the second prince Zhao Ke began to spread slowly.
bump!
The third prince, Zhao Lun, who was in the mansion, slapped the table hard, his expression looking extremely ferocious.
"Is that old man Guanzhuo crazy? His second brother poisoned his father, and he just let him go? Does he deserve his father's trust in him? Does he deserve his status as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice?! Ah!"
Zhao Lun let out a series of roars.
Originally, with the eldest prince running away and the second prince in jail, he had the best chance of inheriting the throne. As a result, not only did he continue to encounter accidents and obstacles when he ascended the throne, but now even the second prince who was in jail was about to be released from prison. How could he accept this?
Come on?
The second prince Zhao Ke has come out, which will definitely affect the attitudes of many people, including Yuan Ji and Hou Yi!
Originally, Zhao Ke still had some thoughts about Yuan Ji and Hou Yi. He also believed that after his continuous wooing, the coercion of Zhou Yanfeng and others, and the fact that the second prince could not be released from prison, combined with these things, he was
Yuan Ji and Hou Yi can be won over to support him.
As a result, now that he has not succeeded, the second prince Zhao Ke is about to be released from prison. And Yuan Ji and Hou Yi, seeing the second prince released from prison, can they still come to his camp?
Obviously impossible!
This is what makes Zhao Lun the most angry.
But in fact, when Gu Lin was found, when Gu Lin explained those things, Zhao Lun had some guesses about this situation, but he had previously thought that Guan Zhuo could continue to detain Zhao Ke
For a period of time, especially Hou Chongan
After the news of Zhao Xuan's killing came out, Zhao Lun felt that it was very likely that Guan Zhuo would continue to detain Zhao Ke. Yuan Ji and Hou Yi's previous efforts would be in vain, but he did not expect that Guan Zhuo was not affected by the news. Now
They actually want to release Zhao Ke.
This is absolutely unacceptable!
However, although Zhao Lun was very angry, there was nothing he could do to stop it. He did not have that right, and the relationship between him and Guan Zhuo was not particularly good. Guan Zhuo would not listen to him at all.
Without the emperor, no one in the court has the right to order Guanzhuo.
Zhao Lun was walking back and forth in his living room, and the atmosphere around him seemed extremely depressing. If this matter was not handled well, he would probably bid farewell to the throne completely.
Zhao Lun once again felt that he was alone. Although in the past few days, through his efforts, he had attracted some officials to join him, the time was too short after all, and he had not attracted many officials. Moreover, he had now attracted
None of them were particularly important officials in the court, so they were of little help in this matter.
Could it be that he just wanted to watch Zhao Ke being released by Guan Zhuo, thus adding a powerful competitor to himself?
no!
This is absolutely not okay!
Zhao Lun was pacing back and forth anxiously, and he actually came up with a solution!
"By the way, Zhou Yanfeng!" Zhao Lun suddenly stopped and his eyes lit up again: "There is no emperor now, and no one can stop Guan Zhuo from making a decision, but there is a group of seven people in the court! It has been done before
It has been agreed that all matters in the court, big and small, must be discussed and decided by a group of seven people. If Guanzhuo wants to release the second prince, something as big as this will naturally have to be discussed. This is my chance!"
The more Zhao Lun thought about it, he felt that there was still hope in this matter, and the hope was not small!
The establishment of a seven-member group to discuss major and minor affairs in the DPRK was something everyone had agreed upon before.
The release of the second prince is a big deal, and there is naturally a need for discussion. Regarding this matter, Yuan Ji and Hou Yi know without thinking that they will definitely agree. As for Guan Zhuo, although they have always been neutral before, this time
After all, he was responsible for the matter, and it was his intention to release the second prince Zhao Ke. In this case, he would definitely vote in favor.
As a result, the number of people in favor of releasing Zhao Ke reached three people. Although the number was large, it was not more than half!
There are also three people from Zhou Yanfeng!
You must know that these three people were clearly fighting for power with Yuan Ji and Hou Yi before. Zhou Yanfeng, especially Zhou Yanfeng, was obviously spying on the position of Yuan Ji's official minister. In this case, Zhou Yanfeng and the others would definitely not be willing to see it.
until Zhao Ke was released.
As a result, there are also three people who oppose the release of Zhao Ke.
In the end it’s you!
Can you agree to release Zhao Ke?
How is that possible!
As a result, the number of people who objected reached four, exceeding the number of people who agreed. As a result, Guanzhuo could not release Zhao Ke!
Even if it cannot be closed all the time, it is still okay to continue to close it for a period of time, and during this period, anything can happen.
"We need to talk to Zhou Yanfeng and the others about this first!" Zhao Lun said to himself.
"Come here, prepare the sedan!"
On the other side, Zhou Yanfeng and three others gathered together again. Their expressions at this time were not much different from Zhao Lun's. It was obvious that they had also learned about Guan Zhuo's intention to release Zhao Ke.
The news surprised and angered them.
In their opinion, they and others had spread rumors, and those rumors must have reached Guanzhuo's ears. When Guanzhuo heard those words, he would definitely not release Zhao Ke, and he might even keep Zhao Ke under strict supervision.
But they never expected that Guanzhuo heard the news, but his reaction was completely opposite to what they thought before. Not only did he not intend to keep Zhao Ke under strict supervision, he actually planned to release Zhao Ke.
, this was really beyond their expectations.
At the same time as they were surprised, they were also very angry, because once Zhao Ke was released, it would affect their previous plans. They didn't think that Zhao Lun had the ability to fight Zhao Ke, Yuan Ji, Hou Yi and others alone.
,Perhaps, we also need to add Hou Zhong!
Once Zhao Lun is defeated, and Zhao Xuan takes the initiative to escape, then the candidate for the new emperor will be obvious.
Once the candidate for the new emperor is determined, their group of seven will be disbanded, and the rights they currently hold will also be dispersed.
As staunch supporters of Zhao Ke, the rewards that Yuan Ji and Hou Yi can get will naturally be huge. It becomes even more impossible for them to shake Yuan Ji's position.
