Chapter 1990 Blocking the Door

Gu Lin's hesitation made Zhao Xuan even more irritable, and he walked around the palace.

"No! I absolutely can't sit back and wait for death like this!" Zhao Xuan said fiercely: "Let Qi Kai come to see me!"

Qi Kai is the only one among the six ministers who clearly supports him. Although he is only the minister of the Ministry of Rites, it is still better than none.

However, Gu Lin hesitated slightly and said: "Qi Shangshu is currently busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony, so I'm afraid he won't be willing to come."

Gu Lin knew about Qi Kai's change in attitude, but Zhao Xuan didn't know, or was unwilling to accept it.

"What a bullshit enthronement ceremony! We haven't found out whether the edict of the third child is true or false, why should he ascend the throne?!" Zhao Xuan said angrily: "Go and have someone notify Qi Kai and ask him to come see me immediately!"

Seeing Zhao Xuan's insistence, Gu Lin said nothing more and immediately sent someone to notify Qi Kai.

The result was not beyond Gu Lin's expectation. Qi Kai refused to enter the palace to see Zhao Xuan on the grounds that he was busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

"Damn it!" When Zhao Xuan heard the reply, his originally angry face turned even more ferocious. If possible, he would have liked to tear Qi Kai, the loser, to pieces.

But he couldn't and couldn't.

Qi Kai was the only person who had expressed support for him. He could not give up such a minister easily. What's more, he was only a prince now. Although he had a noble status, he still couldn't kill a minister if he wanted to.

"Change and go to the Rites Yamen!"

Since Qi Kai doesn't want to come, then Zhao Xuan will go on his own initiative!

At this time, face is no longer important, because if he fails in this matter, his life is likely to be in danger. In the face of life, face is obviously a trivial matter.

"Your Highness, do we want to sneak over there?" Gu Lin asked.

"No!" Zhao Xuan simply refused: "Not only can we not sneak past, we also need to make the formation bigger so that the third child knows!"

Gu Lin thought for a moment and understood Zhao Xuan's plan. He nodded and said, "I will make arrangements now."

Not long after, Zhao Xuan and Gu Lin appeared at the Rites Yamen. Of course, they were not the only ones who came, Zhao Xuan also brought many people.

Because of the enthronement ceremony, Qi Kai was so busy that when he heard Zhao Xuan coming, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned a little ugly.

"You block it for me. If the eldest prince asks me, he will say that I am out on business." Qi Kai reacted and decided to hide for the time being. Meeting Zhao Xuan at this time would not do him any good.

However, before Qi Kai could leave, Zhao Xuan had already walked in with someone. When he saw Qi Kai, he said with a smile on his face: "Where are Qi Shangshu going?"

Qi Kai looked at Zhao Xuan who was walking towards him, his face was a little stiff, he squeezed out a smile and said, "There are some things that I need to go out to deal with. If your Highness, the eldest prince, needs anything, you can talk to the people below."

After saying that, Qi Kai was ready to leave.

However, Zhao Xuan stopped in front of him and said, "I came here today specifically to meet and chat with Qi Shangshu."

Qi Kai's face became even stiffer, "What do you want to talk about, His Highness the First Prince? We still have a lot of things to do now. How about we wait until the enthronement ceremony is over to talk about it?"

"No, let's talk now!" Zhao Xuan said: "Let's just talk about the throne! Is Qi Shangshu going to talk here, or find another place?"

Hearing Zhao Xuan mention the throne in front of everyone, Qi Kai's heart skipped a beat, but his face became even more ugly.

Qi Kai could finally see that Zhao Xuan had defeated him today, and he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.

Qi Kai didn't have the guts to talk to Zhao Xuan about the throne in public. He didn't know what shocking words Zhao Xuan would say. The other party was a prince, so he might not have much scruples, but he couldn't, especially since he had already stood on the wrong side once before. We are in the team, now we can’t make any mistakes.

Thinking of this, Qi Kai had no choice but to bite the bullet and said to Zhao Xuan: "His Royal Highness, please come inside."

Zhao Xuan glanced at Qi Kai, nodded, and walked inside.

As for the people brought by Zhao Xuan, except for Gu Lin, everyone else stayed outside. These people were originally brought by Zhao Xuan to bring strong momentum and make the noise bigger. When it came time to actually discuss the matter, they were not there. What happened.

In the room, in the slightly dim light, Qi Kai looked at Zhao Xuan and Gu Lin and asked: "The eldest prince came to see Wei Chen. What exactly do you want to say?"

"I want you to support me again!" Zhao Xuan said straight to the point: "I want to fight for the throne! That is my position!"

Zhao Xuan's expression looked a bit ferocious. He had always regarded the throne as something in his pocket. Especially after the old emperor asked him to handle the government affairs on his behalf, he firmly believed that he was the leader of the Yanfeng Kingdom. The perfect choice to be the next emperor.

However, the posthumous edict that Zhao Lun took out shattered his illusions. He was unwilling to accept this. Not to mention that Zhao Lun was not popular with the old emperor on weekdays, even though Zhao Lun was very popular with the old emperor on weekdays. Later, Zhao Xuan would not be so willing to give up the throne.

As long as there is a chance, he will not let it go!

However, when Qi Kai heard Zhao Xuan's words, he shook his head without hesitation and said: "Your Highness, the overall situation has been decided, so don't waste your efforts. It's not that I don't want to support you, it's that I really have no chance. "

Qi Kai supported Zhao Xuan from the beginning. He took a gamble, but in the end, Zhao Lun took out the edict, which left him helpless. In order to protect himself, he could only abandon Zhao Xuan and switch to Zhao Lun.

Now seeing Zhao Xuan still unwilling to give up, Qi Kai felt helpless and emotional. He could understand Zhao Xuan's feelings, but he should accept the reality at this time. If he continued to fight, he would only lose his life.

And Qi Kai was obviously unwilling to lose his life.

"No, there is still a chance!" Zhao Xuan was unwilling to fail: "The third brother has not ascended the throne yet, I still have a chance, even if he ascends the throne, I can overthrow him!"

Qi Kai looked at Zhao Xuan who was in a frenzy and was shocked: "Your Highness, the eldest prince, please don't do stupid things, this... This is going to be beheaded!"

Qi Kai said this not only because he was worried about Zhao Xuan, but more importantly, he didn't want to be involved. Zhao Xuan was crazy for the throne and didn't care about anything. It was impossible for him to get involved.

Qi Kai knew very well that he had chosen the wrong side before, which would indeed make Zhao Lun unhappy, but there were many people in the court who did not support Zhao Lun before. Even if Zhao Lun wanted to take revenge, it would not be his turn. He just had to do his job well. There was no need to follow Zhao Xuan and go crazy. He didn't want to die yet.
