Chapter 1933 Panic and anxiety

Hou Yi's statement instantly changed the atmosphere at the scene.

One side is happy, the other side is worried.

"Hou Shangshu, do you know what you are talking about?!" Zhao Xuan asked Hou Yi angrily.

Hou Yi's statement was fatal to Zhao Xuan. After the two ministers remained neutral, Hou Yi's support would instantly increase the power of the second prince Zhao Ke. Originally, both sides had the support of one minister. In addition, As his eldest son, Zhao Xuan can still compete for the throne, and even the balance of the scene is in his favor.

This was also the reason why Zhao Xuan wanted to assassinate the old emperor before.

But Zhao Xuan did not expect that Hou Yi would express his support for Zhao Ke. This was something Zhao Xuan had not thought of in advance. This accident hit him hard.

"Of course I know." Zhao Xuan's glare did not make Hou Yi retreat. He has been the minister of the Ministry of Industry for many years. Hou Yi's aura is not bad, and not a prince can scare him: "I had a relationship with Mr. Hou before. After the exchange, Mr. Hou once told me that the old emperor promised to let the second prince inherit the throne. Therefore, I support the second prince now because I am following your majesty’s wishes. I don’t think I have done anything wrong!”

Hou Yi's words made everyone at the scene slightly stunned, their eyes wandering back and forth between Hou Yi and Hou Zhong.

These two people have the same last name. Could it be that they are related in some way?

But as far as everyone knows, the two people's hometowns are not in the same place. It is said that the same surname between the two should be just a coincidence and there is no special relationship.

But what do Hou Yi mean by these words?

You must know that Hou Zhong's status is very special. If he wants to gain His Majesty's absolute trust, he cannot have too close contacts with any ministers. But from Hou Yi's words, everyone can know that these two have communicated with each other and should still be able to communicate with each other. More than once, Hou Zhong was able to tell Hou Yi even about His Majesty's establishment of a crown prince. This shows that the relationship between the two is quite close. Otherwise, Hou Zhong would never tell such an important and confidential matter. Hou Yi said.

What is the relationship between the two people, everyone is very confused.

Yuan Ji's eyes also wandered around Hou Yi and Hou Zhong. Seeing the confident smile on Hou Zhong's face, Yuan Ji understood that Hou Zhong, whom he had underestimated before, was bound to have a conflict between Hou Zhong and Hou Yi. They have a rather close relationship, and the relationship between the two should be closer than the relationship between him and Hou Zhong.

As expected, Hou Zhong is not a simple person who has won His Majesty's trust for many years. I had underestimated him before.

Hou Yi's words were obviously meant for Zhao Ke, not only to support Zhao Ke, but more importantly, to increase Hou Zhong's place in Hou Yi's heart. It seemed to be telling Zhao Ke: The reason why I I support you because of Hou Zhong. You must remember Hou Zhong’s kindness.

Without Hou Yi's words, Yuan Ji believed that after Zhao Ke registered, he would definitely be the most important person in Zhao Ke's heart, and his gains would be the greatest.

But now with Hou Yi, Hou Zhong's status and importance in Zhao Ke's heart will inevitably be improved. By then, it is hard to say whether he can still become the most trustworthy person in Zhao Ke's heart.

At the same time, with the constraints of Hou Zhong, it will be much more difficult for Yuan Ji to isolate Zhao Ke and control the government alone.

Yuan Ji glanced at Zhao Ke, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Ke looking gratefully at Hou Zhong.

Yuanji's heart felt a little heavy.

At the same time, Hou Yi's words also caused the mentality of everyone at the scene to change again. Three people in a row said that the old emperor had intended to make Zhao Ke the crown prince. The authenticity of this matter was naturally much higher.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of everyone present, Zhao Xuan became anxious!

He did not expect that things would suddenly take a turn for the worse. The situation that was originally favorable to him would become difficult because of Hou Yi's unexpected statement.

Zhao Xuan noticed that the expressions of Li Yang and Zhou Yanfeng had also changed slightly, and they seemed to be hesitating whether to express their stance at this time.

This is definitely bad news for Zhao Xuan. The two ministers who were originally neutral seemed to be no longer so firm and neutral due to the changes in the situation. It is almost irrelevant who they will support after changing their neutral attitude. Thought.

Zhao Xuan was anxious and panicked. He quickly looked at the last minister at the scene!

Guanzhuo, Minister of Punishment!

Guanzhuo is a relatively special being among the ministers. He has always been unsmiling. Not only did he not have much contact with the princes, he also did not have much communication with the ministers. It seems that apart from eating and sleeping, his life consisted of nothing more than eating and sleeping. Only cases are tried.

Guanzhuo had always had a good reputation for being upright and not afraid of the powerful. The old emperor had great trust in him when he was still alive. He also sat in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment for many years.

Zhao Xuan looked at Guan Zhuo and felt uneasy because he had almost no contact with Guan Zhuo before. Now, he expected Guan Zhuo to support him. Only in this way could the situation be restored. However, in Zhao Xuan's heart He also knew that the possibility of Guanzhuo supporting him was very low. After all, the two of them were not friends, and Guanzhuo had never taken the initiative to express his kindness to him. Even after being arranged by the old emperor to handle the government affairs on his behalf, Zhao Xuan asked Gu Lin tried to win over Guan Zhuo, but was scolded by Guan Zhuo.

Therefore, at this time, Zhao Xuan felt extremely heavy and felt that his hope was very slim.

Compared to Zhao Xuan's despair, Zhao Ke is in a good mood now.

Of the six ministers, two supported him, two were neutral, and only one supported the eldest prince Zhao Xuan, giving him an advantage.

As for the last minister, Zhao Ke did not expect the other party to support him, because he and Guan Zhuo also had no friendship, and Guan Zhuo had never responded to Guan Zhuo's previous advances.

But even so, Zhao Ke is not worried, because he knows Guan Zhuo, and he knows that even if Guan Zhuo does not support him, he will not support Zhao Xuan. The greater possibility is to remain neutral. In this way, he still Occupying a huge advantage, the throne seems to be slowly approaching him.

Zhao Xuan was even thinking about how to fulfill his ambition after ascending the throne.

With everyone watching, Guanzhuo looked calm. He looked at everyone and did not say who he supported or remained neutral. Instead, he asked everyone a question: "His Majesty just passed away. You don't care about the cause of his death. You are here to fight for the throne." , forming cliques, aren’t you ashamed? Are you worthy of His Majesty’s trust in you in the past?”

Guanzhuo's words made everyone stunned. Some people showed embarrassment on their faces, but more people didn't care. The old emperor was dead. No matter what the past was, it was already a thing of the past. They had to take care of themselves. Make plans for the future.

This is true whether he is a prince or a minister!
