Chapter 2083: Suspicious Li Yang

Li Ziyang's idea was right. Yuanji had more important things to do at this time and had no time to care about him.

"Minister Yuan, the new emperor ascended the throne today. What do you think?" Li Yang said to Yuanji with a faint smile.

Li Yang was the Minister of War, belonging to the military group, and he was also the leader of the military group. Yuanji was a civil official. As the Minister of Personnel, he naturally had a high status in the civil group. Therefore, the relationship between the two of them had always been bad, and quarreling in the hall was a common thing.

In this fight for the throne, Li Yang chose to remain neutral and did not participate in it, while Yuanji chose to support the second prince Zhao Ke. Now that the matter is about to be settled, Yuanji has become a loser. Li Yang naturally does not mind kicking Yuanji when he is down at this time.

Yuanji glanced at Li Yang, who seemed to be gloating over his misfortune, and said lightly: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. Our Yanfeng Kingdom welcomes a new emperor. As a minister, I am naturally very happy."

"Happy?" Li Yang's smile became even more intense: "I don't see that Minister Yuan is happy."

"The late emperor's body is still warm. Does Minister Li want me to be as shameless as you with a smile on my face?" Yuanji mocked.

Li Yang was slightly stunned after hearing Yuanji's words, and the smile on his face unconsciously subsided a little.

During this period, the most concerned thing in the imperial capital and even the entire Yanfeng Kingdom was naturally the selection of the new emperor. Although Li Yang did not clearly support anyone, he was also paying attention to this matter, so much so that he forgot that the late emperor had just died.

Of course, he was not the only one who forgot. He believed that many other people, even Yuanji, did not take the death of the late emperor too seriously, but Yuanji did not show it too much.

"The civil officials are really very cunning." Li Yang thought in his heart.

In previous court battles, Li Yang often failed to win over Yuan Ji. This time, it was rare to see Yuan Ji being defeated. He wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that Yuan Ji would take the opportunity to ridicule him.

"The death of the late emperor naturally makes me extremely sad." Li Yang said, "However, I am also very happy that the late emperor is about to ascend the throne. I believe that under the leadership of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, our Yanfeng Kingdom will definitely return to its peak."

Yuan Ji glanced at Li Yang again and said, "Does Minister Li really think so?"

Do you really think so?

Of course not.

Li Yang also did not think highly of Zhao Lun's ability, and even doubted the authenticity of the will like many people, but now that everything has settled, all doubts are not important. Zhao Lun is about to become the new emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom and the winner of this battle for the throne. He, Li Yang, has also accepted this fact, and naturally he has to choose to stand with Zhao Lun. This is not because he thinks highly of Zhao Lun, but because he chooses to support the new emperor.

However, in front of Yuanji, he naturally would not tell the truth, but said as a matter of course: "Of course, I believe in His Royal Highness the Third Prince. Why, Minister Yuan does not want to see His Royal Highness the Third Prince ascend the throne?"

Li Yang's words were naturally meant to squeeze Yuanji.

As we all know, Yuanji is the Second Prince's man, and after Zhao Lun ascends the throne, he will certainly use Yuanji as a scapegoat. Even if Yuanji said he supported Zhao Lun, Zhao Lun probably would not believe him. If Yuanji said he hoped the Third Prince would ascend the throne, he would be slapping himself in the face. If he said he did not want to see Zhao Lun ascend the throne, Zhao Lun would hate him even more. It was obvious that Li Yang was deliberately pitting Yuanji.

However, Yuanji said without any concern: "Of course, the third prince is not qualified to be the emperor of our Yanfeng country. He is not capable enough to take on the great responsibility. Among the several descendants of the previous emperor, only the second prince is qualified to ascend the throne and become the emperor."

Li Yang looked at Yuanji in surprise. He did not expect that Yuanji had not admitted defeat at this time. He was still stubborn and did not even perfunctorily say anything. He was so direct and straightforward.

Li Yang looked at Yuanji and said: "Minister Yuan, I have to admire your courage, but at this time, you are still unwilling to face the reality. Isn't it too irrational?"

"Rational?" Yuanji looked at Li Yang and said: "My reason tells me that the third prince is not suitable to be the emperor. He will only bring disaster to our Yanfeng country. I also believe that he can't sit on the throne."

The shock on Li Yang's face was more obvious, and in the shock, there was a trace of doubt and thinking.

Li Yang did not believe that Yuanji was really old and confused. Now the coronation ceremony was about to begin. Yuanji could not be unaware of the current situation.

But until now, Yuanji still insisted that Zhao Lun could not ascend the throne. Is this a dead duck's mouth, or does he have something else to rely on?

Although Li Yang disliked Yuanji very much, he had to admit that Yuanji was very resourceful. Yuanji was far from being old and confused now, which meant that Yuanji, who was so confident, must have something to rely on.

But what was Yuanji relying on?

Li Yang couldn't figure it out.

The best way to prevent the third prince from ascending the throne was naturally to find evidence to prove that the edict of the third prince was fake, but from the current situation, Yuanji and others obviously did not find such evidence. If Yuanji and others were given enough time, Li Yang believed that with the abilities of Yuanji, Hou Yi and Hou Chong, it was very likely that such evidence would be found. After all, the strength of Yuanji and his team was not weak.

But the problem was that they had no time. Zhao Lun's enthronement ceremony was about to begin, and Yuanji had no time to turn the tables.

But Yuanji's calmness made Li Yang wonder, and he always felt that things were not that simple.

Looking at Yuanji who was still calm, Li Yang thought to himself: "Is he just trying to hold on, or does he really have something to rely on?"

Li Yang couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Yuanji didn't bully Li Yang anymore. He knew that his words would make Li Yang aware of something, but he didn't care, because it was already this time, even if other people found out, it would not have any impact on them, and would not change the final outcome of this matter.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is here!"

Just when everyone at the scene was thinking about their own thoughts, a shrill voice sounded:

The protagonist of today is here!

Everyone looked in the direction of the Third Prince's arrival, and the Third Prince Zhao Lun instantly became the focus of the whole audience.

If the old emperor was still alive, Zhao Lun would naturally not have such treatment, but now that the old emperor is dead and Zhao Lun still has the will in his hand, the treatment is naturally different. No matter what everyone thinks, Zhao Lun is the protagonist of today.

Zhao Lun was smiling at this time, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

From today on, he would not only be the center of attention of all officials, but also the center of attention of the whole world!
