Chapter 2128: Gathering in the Imperial Palace

According to yesterday's agreement, the political affairs of the court will need to be decided by seven people. Now, Zhou Yanfeng's proposal to discuss disaster relief seems to be nothing wrong, but if the secret alliance between Zhou Yanfeng, Li Yang and Qi Kai is linked together, it can be seen that Zhou Yanfeng's move is definitely not that simple.

"Minister Yuan, Minister Hou, shall we go together?" Guan Zhuo looked at Yuan Ji and Hou Zhong and said.

Yuan Ji and Hou Zhong nodded.

So the three of them went to the palace together. However, the secret investigation of the eldest prince's murder of the old emperor did not stop. Guan Zhuo handed it over to his most trusted subordinates to handle. After the previous leak, Guan Zhuo severely reorganized the Ministry of Justice and eliminated many people. Although it did not make the Ministry of Justice become a monolithic entity, it has changed a lot compared to before.

When Guan Zhuo and the other two went to the palace together, three people also went to the palace together. These three people were Zhou Yanfeng, Li Yang and Qi Kai. The three did not intend to hide the news of their alliance. Because of Hou Zhong, the three of them knew that they could not hide the secret alliance from Yuan Ji and others, so they simply did not think of hiding it from the beginning.

"Two Shangshus, you two will have to come out to help later." Zhou Yanfeng said to Li Yang and Qi Kai.

This meeting was initiated by Zhou Yanfeng. Since Li Yang and Qi Kai visited him yesterday and formed an alliance with him as the leader, Zhou Yanfeng's self-confidence has greatly expanded.

In the past, because Zhou Yanfeng was only the Minister of Revenue, and his status among the six ministers was not high or low, his presence was not strong, especially in recent years, disasters occurred frequently in Yanfeng country, and wars continued outside, but he, the Minister of Revenue, could not provide enough food, which made him suffer a lot of criticism from the old emperor. At the same time, it also seriously affected his status in the hearts of officials and people, and his right to speak was naturally less important.

Therefore, in recent years, Zhou Yanfeng has been keeping a low profile and did not compete with Yuanji for the leadership of the civil service group. He even thought about just retiring and returning home.

But Zhou Yanfeng did not expect that the opportunity would suddenly come. He went from a person close to the edge to a core figure. At this moment, he was very proud!

"Don't worry, Minister Zhou, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and we will naturally support it."

"Yes, the people in the world are too miserable. Minister Zhou's approach is to save the people from the water and fire, and we will naturally support it."

Li Yang and Qi Kai both expressed their support for Zhou Yanfeng.

Zhou Yanfeng had told the two people what he wanted to do on the way here. It can be said that Zhou Yanfeng's approach was very bold. If the old emperor was still here, or if Yuanji still had absolute authority in the court, his idea would never be realized. But now, everything has changed. The old emperor is gone, the new emperor has not been elected, and Yuanji has lost his absolute power in a series of defeats.

And Zhou Yanfeng has the support of the two of them, so there will naturally be no problem.

"Okay, I feel relieved with the words of the two ministers." Zhou Yanfeng said with a smile.

From yesterday to now, Zhou Yanfeng has been in a good mood. Even last night, he was almost too excited to sleep. This is why he couldn't wait to hold this meeting.

He can't wait!

Years of waiting, years of repression, he needs to release!

With excitement, Zhou Yanfeng came to the palace. Looking at the familiar palace in front of him, Zhou Yanfeng felt a different feeling in his heart. He had never had this feeling before, as if he was the owner of this palace.

"Hmph!"

Just when Zhou Yanfeng was immersed in his own world, a cold snort came from behind.

Zhou Yanfeng turned his head subconsciously and saw that it was the third prince Zhao Lun!

As one of the seven-member group, Zhao Lun was naturally qualified to participate in the council. Being able to participate in the decision-making of national affairs was something that Zhao Lun had never dared to think about before, but now, he was not happy, because he could have made decisions alone, but now, he had to discuss with six ministers before making a decision, which was unacceptable to him.

The initiator of all this was Zhou Yanfeng in front of him.

Therefore, seeing Zhou Yanfeng in front of him, Zhao Lun's attitude was naturally not good.

"Hello, His Royal Highness the Third Prince." Zhou Yanfeng and the other two saluted to Zhao Lun.

Although the three of them were members of the seven-member group like Zhao Lun, and there was no difference in power, Zhao Lun was a prince after all, and his status was more noble than theirs. Therefore, the three of them naturally had to salute when they saw Zhao Lun.

"Hmph, it's good that you know my prince." Zhao Lun said to the three people with hostility: "Don't forget, this Yanfeng Kingdom belongs to our Zhao family, and the one who will eventually sit on the throne will also be someone from our Zhao family. So, I advise the three of you not to go too far and remember your identity. You are just our Zhao family's subjects. Don't dream of snatching power from our Zhao family members."

"Your Highness is overthinking." Zhou Yanfeng said: "We naturally know our identities and always abide by the duties of subjects. The reason why we want to form this temporary group is also for the sake of the court."

"Hmph!"

Zhao Lun naturally didn't believe Zhou Yanfeng's nonsense. In his opinion, Zhou Yanfeng and his people were all traitors who wanted to fight for power and ignored their royal family. When he ascended the throne and became emperor, he must kill all these bastards.

Zhao Lun didn't want to go with these bastards. He snorted coldly and left without paying any attention to them.

Zhou Yanfeng and the other two didn't care. Originally, they never regarded Zhao Lun as the future emperor, so there was no need to be too respectful.

After Zhao Lun left, Zhou Yanfeng and the other two also entered the palace.

Not long after, Guan Zhuo and the other two also arrived at the palace.

It was the first time that several important figures in the court discussed the important affairs of the court after the death of the old emperor. Although other officials were not qualified to attend this meeting, they were also paying attention to this meeting. A lot of useful information could be passed from this meeting.

Zhou Yanfeng and the other two arrived earlier than Guan Zhuo and the other two. When Zhou Yanfeng saw that Guan Zhuo came with Yuan Ji and Hou Yi, he was a little surprised and even a little worried.

It was not surprising that Yuan Ji and Hou Yi came together, but Guan Zhuo, who had always remained neutral, came with these two, which inevitably made people think too much.

"Maybe they just met on the road and came here together." Zhou Yanfeng thought to himself.
