After Guan Zhuo sent Zhao Ke out, he separated from several people. He released Zhao Ke not because he wanted to hold Zhao Ke's thigh, but because of the overall situation. Therefore, he did not think about showing his presence in front of Zhao Ke at this time, nor did he think about deliberately pleasing Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke naturally kept a few words, but when he saw Guan Zhuo insisting on leaving, he didn't say much. He wanted to win over Zhao Ke, but this was obviously not something that could be done in a short while. At present, he needed to understand the situation in the imperial capital first and was locked up here for so many days. Although Guan Zhuo had never abused him, he also lost contact with the outside world and did not know what the situation was like outside.

"Two Secretarys, what is the situation in the imperial capital now?" Zhao Ke asked: "How are the ministers in the court reacting? Also, does the incident of my arrest have any impact on the people?"

"Your Highness!" Yuan Ji said excitedly: "The situation in the imperial capital is a bit complicated now. Your Highness was arrested and his reputation was somewhat damaged. But Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much. This impact will not determine the ownership of the throne. Now, you still have the advantage in fighting for the throne."

Yuan Ji was indeed quite excited, and Hou Yi was also excited.

The two have been active since Zhao Ke was arrested, trying to rescue Zhao Ke, but it is easy to rescue Zhao Ke, but it is difficult to let Zhao Ke come out openly. Now, Zhao Ke has finally been released. Although not everyone agreed, it is also a great progress for Yuan Ji and Hou Yi, and it is already quite good.

As long as Zhao Ke comes out, everything will still have hope.

"Really?" Zhao Ke was so excited when he heard that he had an advantage: "Tell me quickly what happened during this period."

"good!"

Afterwards, Yuan Ji and Hou Yi accompanied Zhao Ke back to the house. On the way back, they told Zhao Ke one by one what happened in the imperial capital during this period.

Zhao Ke listened very seriously. When he heard it behind, his face was already showing more excitement.

"That's great!" Zhao Ke said: "God has eyes! He didn't let the villain succeed! Now that I'm out, I want to take back everything that belongs to me!"

He was imprisoned by Guan Zhuo before. Although he didn't have to worry about his life's safety, Zhao Ke's life was not easy. He was always worried about external affairs. He knew very well that once the new emperor ascended the throne, he would be finished. No matter who the new emperor was, he would not let him go. At that time, let alone being a prince, it would be a question whether his life could be saved.

It is precisely because of this worry that Zhao Ke has not been doing well during this period and has been thinking about being released from prison day and night. Unfortunately, Guan Zhuo is not so easy to persuade. Even no matter how much he thinks, it will be useless.

Fortunately, he finally came out now, and the things outside were not as bad as he thought. The situation was pretty good for him, which made Zhao Ke feel relieved and in a great mood.

"Once the news that Your Highness is released from prison will inevitably cause shock in the court." Hou Yi said: "At that time, I'm afraid that many officials will come to the door to sue."

Although the old emperor was not optimistic about the second prince Zhao Ke, compared with the other princes, Zhao Ke is quite good. There is always someone to sit in the emperor's position, and many officials will think about it in their hearts, compare it, and then choose the candidates to support it.

In contrast, Zhao Ke's conditions are already pretty good. Before, it was just because he was detained, which discouraged many officials. Now that he has finally been released from prison, it will naturally attract many people to vote.

"No," Yuan Ji nodded in agreement: "However, if you want to ascend the throne and become emperor now, the most important thing is to obtain the support of other people in the seven-person group. Mr. Hou and I must support His Highness. Since Mr. Guan chose to release you, you must also support His Highness. In this way, as long as we win the support of one person, we can ensure that His Highness can ascend the throne and become emperor successfully."

"The third brother doesn't need to think about it anymore. He knew that I was out of prison, so he would be so angry that he would not be able to support me at all." Zhao Ke said: "There are only those three ministers left. I just heard you say that the three of them have formed a small group. They did not choose to support me before when it came to the issue of releasing me. It is probably not easy to win their support."

After Yuan Ji and Hou Yi's narration, Zhao Ke naturally knew that if he wanted to ascend the throne smoothly, he could only rely on the support of officials without the support of the late emperor and the will of the will. Among the many officials, the weight of the seven-person group was undoubtedly the heaviest.

Zhao Ke now has the support of three people, but it is not easy to win the support of the fourth person.

"Your Highness is right, this is indeed not easy." Yuan Ji said: "But it is not without chance. The reason why Zhou Yanfeng and the other two gathered together is nothing more than to fight for more benefits. Therefore, as long as you promise enough benefits, I believe that we can differentiate them from it, and we do not want to convince them all, just to motivate one of them, it is enough."

"The Yuan Shangshu said it was reasonable." Hou Yi said: "The alliance between the three of them is ultimately due to interests. As long as there is enough interests, they can be divided. Moreover, we don't have to convince them all, so the possibility of success is greater."

"Those two Shangshu think, who is easier to convince?" Zhao Ke asked.

If you want to successfully inherit the throne, you must convince at least one of the three, and Zhao Ke also understands this.

Yuan Ji and Hou Yi looked at each other and said almost at the same time:

"Qi Kai!"

"Qi Kai?" Zhao Ke was a little confused: "Why it was him? I think it's easier for Li Yang to convince. Li Yang is the Minister of War and is considered a leader in the military general group. Zhou Yanfeng and Qi Kai are both scholars and members of the civil servant group. There were some grudges between the two sides in the past, but now it is easier to divide."

Obviously, Zhao Ke has his own ideas on this matter, and it makes sense.

The conflict between their Yanfeng Kingdom, civil servant group and military general group has been around for a long time, and both sides often fight to the death in the court. Of course, the reason for fighting is for their respective interests.

Therefore, the relationship between the two sides is not good. Now, even if Li Yang formed an alliance with Zhou Yanfeng and Qi Kai for some reason, he may not be able to truly get together in his heart, and there must be a gap.
