Chapter 1882 Crazy Decision

"The effect is not very good?" Zhao Xuan frowned and said, "What is his attitude?"

"He has been talking in circles with his subordinates. His subordinates have hinted several times that he is on His Highness's side, but he seems not to understand and is still unwilling to express his position." Gu Lin said.

Yuan Ji is a veteran in the court. He has been in office for many years. It is impossible that he cannot understand Gu Lin's hint. He has not expressed his stance. He can only explain that he does not want to express his stance. To be more precise, he does not want to stand on Zhao Xuan's side. .

This made Zhao Xuan even more angry.

Why don't these people think highly of him?

What is the difference between him and other princes?

These bastards just have no vision!

When I get to the position, I must replace them all one by one!

Gu Lin glanced at Zhao Xuan and hesitated to speak.

"Say what you want to say! Don't hesitate! Is there anything worse now?" Zhao Xuan noticed Gu Lin's strange behavior and couldn't help scolding him.

There really is!

Gu Lin muttered secretly in his heart.

Seeing Zhao Xuan's inquiry, Gu Lin hesitated and said, "Your Highness, the person I placed in the second prince's house has sent back a message."

"What news?"

Zhao Xuan did not show any surprise at what Gu Lin said about someone being placed in the residence of the second prince Zhao Ke. In fact, he knew about this matter, and not only the second prince's There are also people they have placed in the house and the houses of several other princes. When it comes to competing for the position of prince, there is a hostile relationship between them, so Zhao Xuan has to be careful.

Of course, Zhao Xuan also knew that other princes might have spies in his palace, so he was usually very careful about important matters.

"According to the informant's report, Yuan Ji, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has frequently appeared in the residence of the second prince Zhao Ke in the past few days. As for what the two talked about, there is no way of knowing." Gu Lin said.

"What?! Is this really happening?!" Zhao Xuan asked in shock.

"It's absolutely true!" Gu Lin said: "Yuanji is very careful and hidden every time he goes there, and the spy was discovered with great difficulty."

"Damn it! This old man Yuanji is really hateful!" Zhao Xuan said with a ferocious expression.

Although I don’t know what Yuan Ji and Zhao Ke talked about, at this sensitive moment, Yuan Ji frequently goes to Zhao Ke’s house. It is obviously not a coincidence. The possibility of targeting the crown prince’s position is very high!

Thinking that Yuan Ji had been acting crazy and pretending to be stupid in front of Gu Lin, Zhao Xuan believed that when Yuan Ji went to see Zhao Ke, he chose to side with Zhao Ke.

This result made Zhao Xuan angry and scared.

Zhao Xuan knew very well what kind of influence Yuan Ji had in the court. Otherwise, he would not have bothered to make friends with Yuan Ji. However, Yuan Ji not only failed to accept his kindness, but actually got so close to the second prince Zhao Ke. For Zhao Xuan, this was undoubtedly devastating news.

If Zhao Ke gets the support of Yuan Ji, then the possibility of him obtaining the title of prince will be far greater than him!

Seeing that the position of prince seemed to be slowly moving away from him, Zhao Xuan was really panicked.

Gu Lin didn't say any more words of comfort, because he also felt that it was definitely not a good thing for Yuan Ji to see Zhao Ke at this time, and also so frequently. He probably really decided to support Zhao Ke. At this time, what else could he say? Any words of comfort are useless.

"No!" Zhao Xuan forced himself to calm down: "I can't just admit defeat! I can't sit still and wait for death!"

Seeing the madness in Zhao Xuan's eyes, Gu Lin next to him was startled.

Zhao Xuan turned to look at Gu Lin fiercely and ordered: "Gu Lin, I will give you a task to bribe a palace maid who cooks medicine for the old immortal! The sooner the better, no matter what the price, you must do it!"

Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Gu Lin became even more panicked and stammered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

"What to do?" Zhao Xuan's eyes flashed with a trace of madness and hatred: "I want to send that old immortal to death!"

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Zhao Xuan. Although he is responsible for handling political affairs between the DPRK and China, the ministers do not seem to think highly of him. In addition, the old emperor has no particular preference for him and even makes fun of him. In addition, Shang Yuanji and Zhao Ke are getting closer and closer, and none of these things are good for him.

Zhao Xuan didn't want to miss out on the position of prince, especially after he tasted the feeling of power, he didn't want to give up the power in his hands.

Therefore, he has to do something to fight for that position, or even a higher position!

In the past, Zhao Xuan really did not want the old emperor to die suddenly, because the old emperor had not named him the prince yet, but now, because of the change in the situation, Zhao Xuan wanted the old emperor to die immediately, because even if the old emperor was alive The person who canonize the crown prince will most likely not be him. If that's the case, why keep the old emperor? Let him be crowned the crown prince and take back the rights from his own hands?

This is obviously not possible!

If the old emperor dies suddenly, and dies suddenly before he canonize the crown prince, then the court will inevitably fall into chaos. All the princes will have the opportunity to compete for the throne, and he will naturally have the opportunity. Moreover, because he is still in charge of the court. In political affairs, maybe when the time comes, we can take advantage of this to take advantage.

It is precisely because of this that the old emperor must die, and the sooner the better, it is best to die before he is officially canonized as the prince!

Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Gu Lin was frightened and his face completely changed.

Zhao Xuan actually wanted to kill his father and murder the old emperor!

That's treason!

That means losing your head and killing all nine clans!

Gu Lin was really frightened by Zhao Xuan this time. He had never thought about this kind of thing before.

"Why, are you scared?" Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Lin and asked.

"Your Highness, this... this is a treasonous thing. Would you like to think about it again?" Gu Lin said.

"Don't think about it! I've thought about it!" Zhao Xuan said: "If the old guy doesn't die, I will die! Do you think that my brothers will let me go after they ascend the throne? No! They won't let me go, and of course, they won't let you go! So, what I'm doing now is to protect myself and save our lives! As long as this thing succeeds, this Yanfeng Kingdom will be mine! At that time, no one will dare to say anything behind my back! This Yanfeng Kingdom is up to me!"

Gu Lin stared at the somewhat unfamiliar Zhao Xuan in a daze. He knew in his heart that Zhao Xuan was crazy, really crazy, otherwise, he would never make such a crazy decision.

But thinking carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with what Zhao Xuan said. If they don't find a way to protect themselves now, when everything is settled, they will be the ones to die!
