Chapter 2090 Another way

Neither Yuanji nor Zhao Lun wanted to give in, but at this time, it seemed that they had no choice but to give in. Things couldn't remain deadlocked.

"I agree with Minister Zhou's proposal." Zhao Lun had no choice but to agree.

He was helpless. Although some officials in the court had taken the initiative to show their goodwill to him, the officials with weight were waiting and watching. If he insisted on ascending the throne, not only Yuanji and Hou Zhong would oppose it, but even Zhou Yanfeng and others would also oppose it. Facing these heavyweight officials, he didn't have much to do.

Seeing Zhao Lun agree first, Yuanji and Hou Zhong looked at each other, and then they nodded almost at the same time and said, "I agree too!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang smiled, and even Qi Kai, who had been in trouble, smiled with surprise.

The Minister of Rites is also one of the six ministers!

Qi Kai was originally caught in the middle and it was difficult for him to make a choice. He did not expect that things would suddenly turn around. Not only did he not have to make a difficult decision, but he also became one of the heavyweights in the court. His power had been greatly improved compared to before. This was really a big surprise for him.

The position of the Minister of Rites has always been awkward. Although he is one of the six ministers, he does not have much real power. He is even inferior to some subordinate offices of heavyweight departments such as the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War. He is not the one who makes the decision on major events in the court. Even when the old emperor asks for his opinion, he often ignores him. This is why Qi Kai wanted to take a gamble before. He did not want to stay in this awkward position anymore. He wanted to go further.

And now, he actually realized this wish. He passively realized this wish without any preparation and became one of the people with decision-making power in the court. How could Qi Kai not be surprised?

At this time, Qi Kai even thought that it would be best if Zhao Lun and Yuan Ji could not find any solid evidence. In that case, he could always decide national affairs as the Minister of Rites. If the emperor was really elected, he would lose this power, which was obviously not what he wanted to see.

In addition to Qi Kai's surprise, Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang were also very satisfied with the result.

Originally, the two did not want to stand in line and remained neutral because of caution, but they did not expect that things would take such a turn. Naturally, the two did not want to miss the opportunity. In this way, they went from marginal figures to core figures with great power. Today's events were a huge gain for them.

The coronation ceremony ended in a whimper, but today's coronation ceremony had a great impact on the political situation of Yanfeng State. Everyone had their own ideas and plans for today's events.

"I'm so angry!"

Zhao Lun, who returned to the mansion, was so angry that he smashed everything in the hall to pieces. None of the guards and servants around dared to speak.

Everyone knew that Zhao Lun was angry at this time, and they understood why he was angry.

Zhao Lun did have reason to be angry. He had waited for this day for a long time. He thought he could ascend the throne smoothly and become the supreme ruler of the world, but he didn't expect that something unexpected would happen. Not only did Yuan Ji and others oppose him, but even Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang, who had been neutral before, also took advantage of the opportunity and added insult to injury at this time.

Today's trip to the palace was a failure for Zhao Lun. Unfortunately, he could only accept this failure, otherwise, he might face a greater failure, which was what made him most angry.

Now, if he wanted to ascend the throne, it seemed that there was only one way, that is, to prove that the will in his hand was real and was indeed given to him by the late emperor.

But it was not easy to do this, and it could even be said to be impossible. Liu Taiyi, who wrote the will, had betrayed him. The only other person who could prove this was the late emperor, but the late emperor was dead, and even if the late emperor was not dead, he could not help him testify.

Therefore, in this world, Zhao Lun couldn't find anyone to help him make this proof, that is to say, no matter what, he couldn't prove the authenticity of the will.

What's more hateful is that Yuanji and others have not given up rescuing Zhao Ke. Once Zhao Ke clears his grievances, he will definitely be more likely to ascend the throne than him.

Could it be that he can only give up the idea of ​​the throne?

No!

Absolutely not!

Zhao Lun was unwilling to give up. He had already come to this point. Seeing that he was about to win, how could he give up at this time?

But, if he didn't give up, what should he do?

On the surface, he wanted to prove that the will was true, but this road was no longer feasible. If he wanted to ascend the throne, he could only seek other ways.

How to do it?

Zhao Lun frowned and thought hard. After a long time, he thought of a way, a way that was not a way.

Since there was no way to prove the authenticity of the will in his hand, he simply didn't prove it. He was going to change the way to ascend the throne!

This way was to eliminate opponents and forcibly ascend the throne!

History is written by the victors. As long as he kills his opponents, he can ascend to the throne with the will in his hand. At that time, no one will oppose him or question the authenticity of the will in his hand.

"You forced me to do this!" Zhao Lun thought secretly.

Then, Zhao Lun ordered the servants beside him: "Notify General Liu, General Zhao, General Wu... all come to see me."

"Yes, Your Highness." The servant received the order and responded immediately.

The people Zhao Lun wanted to meet were all those who had surrendered to him during this period, and these people were all generals in the army. If he wanted to eliminate the opponents, he had to rely on the power of the army. The power of his mansion alone was not enough.

Zhao Lun's eyes flashed with a strong murderous intent. Even if he made a mess of the Yanfeng Kingdom, he would ascend the throne. No one could stop him from ascending the throne and becoming emperor, no one could!

On the other side, Yuan Ji and Hou Yi were also in a bad mood. They were also quite dissatisfied with today's trip to the palace.

The two thought that with the testimony of Doctor Liu and their influence in the court, overthrowing the third prince Zhao Lun was basically a done deal. However, they did not expect that Doctor Liu's role was not as great as they thought, and Zhao Lun was not as incompetent as they thought. Facing their attack, Zhao Lun did not panic. What they did not expect was that the ministers in the court did not seem to be so convinced by them. After listening to Doctor Liu's story, the officials in the court did not stand on their side as they expected.

Everything was beyond their expectations!
