Qi Kai was a little disappointed with this failure, but he was still able to accept it, and he didn't even feel much fluctuation in his heart.

Because, in Qi Kai's heart, although he wanted to get rid of the shadow of Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang, joining the second prince's camp was not the best choice, because in that camp, Yuan Ji and Hou Yi already had Yuan Ji. If he joined in, he could only continue to live in the shadow of Yuan Ji and Hou Yi.

Qi Kaike doesn't think that Yuan Ji and Hou Yi will pay more attention to him than Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang.

He joined the second prince's camp, just from one to another, and his situation would not change much. However, the second prince had the most chance to ascend the throne and become emperor at that time, and Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang's plan seemed too crazy in his opinion, so he decided so.

Now that the second prince is dead, he naturally doesn't count the choices he made before.

"Are we pushing the ninth prince out now?" Li Yang asked: "Now the three princes are getting further and further away from the throne. There should be a new candidate. This is the best time."

The three princes, one died, one fled, and the other was arrested. The ministers in the court were confused and didn't know who they should support the emperor.

At this time, if they launch the Ninth Prince, although some people will oppose it, it will also give some confused people a new goal. The most important thing is that all three of them support it, and the Ninth Prince's position in the court will instantly ascend, and some hesitant people will join their camp.

Zhou Yanfeng thought for a while and said, "I agree to launch the Ninth Prince. Now, the ministers in the court all have their own ideas, but no one dares to be sure who the next emperor will be. When we launch the Ninth Prince at this time, we can bring them into the camp. Otherwise, if those who react and choose one of the little princes to support us, we will lose the opportunity and add a lot of trouble at that time."

The ones in Zhou Yanfeng's mouth are naturally Yuan Ji, Hou Yi and others.

Zhou Yanfeng's idea is similar to Li Yang. He thinks that it is the best time to launch the Ninth Prince at this time. After Yuan Ji and the others react, they can choose other targets and seize their initiative.

The initiative is very important!

Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang looked at Qi Kai who had not spoken and asked, "Shangshu Qi, what do you think?"

Although neither of them looked down on Qi Kai very much, they thought Qi Kai was just a fence-skinned man, had no big abilities, and his status was not as good as them.

But now, they are in the same camp after all, and Qi Kai, as the Minister of Rites, also has the right to vote. Therefore, on the surface, they still need to listen to Qi Kai's opinions.

Of course, if Qi Kai agrees, it will be great. If Qi Kai does not agree, they will convince Qi Kai and continue to say until Qi Kai agrees.

When Qi Kai heard the two people's inquiry, he hurriedly said, "Since both the ministers said that, I naturally have no objection, but..."

"But what?"

"However, the eldest prince had an unusual move, and seemed to be preparing to return to the imperial capital. I was afraid that his return would affect our plan. After all, he was the eldest prince!"

"This is also a problem." Li Yang thought for a while and said, "If he really came back, it is hard to guarantee that some people would not choose to ignore what he had done before in order to take into account the overall situation."

"It's possible." Zhou Yanfeng said: "However, Guan Zhuo won't make him feel relaxed. Since he has already captured a third prince, I think he will definitely not mind arresting another eldest prince."

Li Yang's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes! The third prince is suspected of killing the second prince, and the eldest prince is suspected of killing the late emperor. Neither of them is good. Since Guan Zhuo can capture the third prince, he will definitely be able to capture the eldest prince. If he doesn't do anything, we will secretly spread rumors that he is unfair."

"Yeah." Zhou Yanfeng nodded: "During this period, we not only want to launch the ninth prince, but also secretly publicize the fact that the eldest prince is the real murderer of the late emperor. Regardless of whether the murderer is him or not, he will first make his reputation smell bad!"

"What the two ministers said makes sense," Qi Kai said, "Since that's the case, we have nothing to worry about. I also think it's time to launch the Ninth Prince."

"Okay!" Zhou Yanfeng nodded and said, "Since everyone has no objection, let's start taking action immediately. First, contact each of us to trustworthy ministers, point out the ninth prince openly or secretly. After the preparation is almost done, we will ask the other people to discuss the establishment of the new emperor together. In this process, we will take the opportunity to launch the ninth prince. Of course, the matter of promoting the eldest prince cannot be delayed, and we must do it together."

Li Yang and Qi Kai both nodded, and the three of them discussed the details about these matters.

The three of them thought it very well. They thought of a lot of things. Unfortunately, they didn't know that Butler Zhao in prison had changed his words and the third prince might be released from prison at any time. If they knew about this, they would not be as optimistic as they are now.

At the same time, the eldest prince Zhao Xuan, who is far away in the south, is implementing his escape plan.

Zhao Xuan, who had realized that he was under house arrest, did not want to stay in the southern neighboring city for a moment. Although it was safe here, he did not have any freedom. People followed him to monitor him wherever he went, which made him very unhappy.

"Your Highness, do we really want to do this?" Duan Xiuer looked at Zhao Xuan, the eldest prince wearing a servant's costume in front of her, and seemed a little hesitant: "Will this not be good? If something happens outside, your father will scold me to death."

Changing into a servant's uniform was Zhao Xuan's idea. He knew that he had been under house arrest and under normal circumstances, it was impossible for him to leave this residence alone, even if he followed Duan Xiu'er.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan asked Duan Xiu'er to bring a set of servants from the mansion, and he changed it himself, preparing to disguise himself as a servant from the City Lord's Mansion, and follow Duan Xiu'er to leave here.

When the matter was about to come, Duan Xiuer was a little hesitant. How could Zhao Xuan let her repent? He quickly said, "It's okay, this is good, it's very safe in the southern neighboring city. If we go out, there will be no accidents. When we have a play and come back secretly, your father will never find out, and he will even be even more unlikely to scold you."

"But......"

"Nothing is not true!" Zhao Xuan raised his face and said, "Do you not listen to me? If so, there is no need to go out."

As he said that, Zhao Xuan made a move to take off his servant's clothes.
