"What, Shangshu Hou, are you afraid?"

Hou Yi's face changed and Zhao Lun saw it.

"Your Highness, do you think about it again?" Hou Yi hesitated and said, "As soon as this kind of thing starts, there will be no turning back. It would be fine if it succeeds, but if it fails, it will definitely die without a place to bury!"

Hou Yi was indeed a little scared.

It’s okay to let him play tricks. After all, even if he fails, the biggest situation is that he loses his official position and becomes an ordinary person, and his life can still be saved.

But Zhao Lun seized the throne with force, it was different.

If he succeeds, then it will be fine and everyone will be happy. But if he fails, he will not be as simple as throwing away his black hat. He will lose his head! Moreover, it is not that he will lose his head alone, and his entire family will have to lose his head.

This is a serious problem.

Faced with this possible terrible situation, Hou Yi naturally hesitated and even became scared.

"I have no way out!" Zhao Lun said coldly: "With Guan Zhuo's personal and physical evidence, he will never let me go. Once I go to prison, he will completely lose his fate with the throne. No matter who comes to power, I will not have any trouble with me. I will even be liquidated because I have the will in my hand. If the thing is used well, it will naturally be very good. If it is not used well, it will be a hot potato. The new emperor will definitely have concerns and will never save my life."

Hou Yi looked at Zhao Lun and felt a little surprised.

In this matter, like everyone else, he didn't really like Zhao Lun, but from Zhao Lun's analysis, it can be seen that Zhao Lun is not completely brainless. At least in this matter, he is very clear-headed and knows that the difficulties he is facing can even be said to be desperate!

"So, I have no way out!" Zhao Lun said in a deep voice: "I need your help in this matter!"

Zhao Lun is trapped here and can't get out at all, and he has no way to contact the outside world. Therefore, if he wants to notify the generals he contacted before, he still needs Hou Yi's help.

Hou Yi was a little silent, and did not agree immediately or object.

He knows the benefits of doing this and the risks of doing this. He is weighing the pros and cons.

"Shangshu Hou, if you are willing to help me, I will never treat you badly in the future." Zhao Lun began to draw cakes for Hou Yi: "I can confer you as the Minister of Personnel, and even, I can confer you as the King of Different surnames, the only King of Different surnames in our Yanfeng Kingdom! This is my promise to you!"

A king of different surname?!

After hearing these three words, Hou Yi's breathing became rapid.

In recent years, the old emperor attached great importance to titles. The rewards of a baron and viscount were difficult, not to mention higher-ranking titles. Earl and Marquis had not added one more in many years. There were not many dukes in the entire Yanfeng Kingdom. Not to mention the feudal, the few old emperors were still thinking about cutting them off.

As for the king of different surnames in Zhao Lun's mouth, it only exists in legend. Since the founding of Yanfeng Kingdom, there has never been a king of different surnames.

This temptation is too great, so great that Hou Yi cannot refuse. This is a reward for glorifying his ancestors and inheriting the descendants.

If it were just the position of Minister of Personnel, Hou Yi might be moved, but he might not agree. He is now the Minister of Works. Although he also wants to be the Minister of Personnel, he would not bet on his own and the entire family for that position.

But now, Zhao Lun has offered the conditions for a king of a different surname, which makes Hou Yi unable to say anything to refuse.

"Okay, I agree." Hou Yi's excited voice was hoarse: "From today, I will follow Your Highness, your Highness, if you have any questions, please give me yourselves. I will do my best to help you ascend the throne."

Bet!

Hou Yi decided to gamble!

He was unable to stop this temptation, and he also believed that if it were anyone else, he would not be able to resist such temptation.

"Okay, very good." Zhao Lun smiled with satisfaction: "Hou Shangshu is indeed a smart person. Don't worry, I will never treat you badly."

Although Yanfeng Kingdom has never had a king of different surnames, if a king of different surnames can help him ascend the throne, Zhao Lun would never mind giving this quota. For him, the throne and his life are the most important.

Of course, if you agree now, it doesn’t mean that you must fulfill this promise in the future. Only the two of them know this promise. He can change his mind at any time. By that time, he is already the emperor. If you want to change your mind, what else can Hou Yi do to him?

Therefore, this incident was completely beneficial to Zhao Lun's old saying, and it was just a big cake he drew for Hou Yi.

As for whether it can be fulfilled, it depends on his mood at that time.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Hou Yi said excitedly.

At this time, Hou Yi was already full of the words "King of the Different Certificate", so he would not think about other things at all. Moreover, he also felt that Zhao Lun really needed his help at the moment, so Zhao Lun would not fool him.

"I will write a letter and you will give it to them. When they see it is my handwriting, they will believe what you said." Zhao Lun said.

"Okay." Hou Yi said: "By the way, there is another news that may be helpful to Your Highness."

"What news?"

"What happened in the south of Nanling City. The city lord of Nanling City died. Now Nanling City is occupied by a group of rebels. Li Yang is preparing to mobilize the surrounding troops to regain control of Nanling City. Because the imperial capital is not far from Nanling City, Li Yang will also dispatch troops from Nanling City, and it is said that many have been transferred." Hou Yi said to Zhao Lun.

"Is this actually happening?" Zhao Lun was immediately overjoyed when he heard Hou Yi's words: "It's God who helped me!"

Nanlincheng is the sphere of influence of the eldest prince. Now that the lord of Nanlincheng is dead, the eldest prince will have one less help. Even if the eldest prince wants to compete for the throne again, his strength will be greatly damaged.

In addition, Li Yang's transfer of the garrisons near the imperial capital is also conducive to Zhao Lun's next actions. After all, he did not contact too many generals. If the emperor had a large number of troops, it would naturally be difficult and dangerous. But now, God seems to be helping him. Once the garrisons in the imperial capital decrease, their next actions will undoubtedly be much easier and the possibility of success will be greatly increased.

Of course, before this, we must first make sure that Zhao Lun’s people will not be transferred by Li Yang. This requires some operation. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not impossible.
