Chapter 2132 Zhao Lun supports Yuan Ji

Zhao Lun chose to support Yuan Ji!

After hearing what Zhao Lun said, everyone was shocked. Even Yuan Ji himself did not expect that Zhao Lun would choose to support him. After all, just yesterday, the two had confronted each other in front of all the officials. It was because of his "sniping" that Zhao Lun did not sit on the throne as he wished.

Therefore, in Yuan Ji's view, it was good enough that Zhao Lun did not stand on the opposite side of him. As for supporting himself, that was absolutely impossible.

However, Zhao Lun did so now, and his attitude was very clear. He had already lost, but with the support of Zhao Lun, he miraculously tied with Zhou Yanfeng, which surprised and delighted Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji was pleasantly surprised, but Zhou Yanfeng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He looked at Zhao Lun in disbelief. He never thought that Zhao Lun would choose to support Yuan Ji.

Is Zhao Lun a fool? Shouldn't he hate Yuan Ji? Yuan Ji prevented him from ascending the throne and becoming emperor. Didn't he want to kill Yuan Ji? Why did he choose to support Yuan Ji at this time? Could it be that the two of them had reached some kind of agreement in secret?

Zhou Yanfeng was in a very bad mood. He was confident of winning the discussion this time, and Guan Zhuo did as he expected, choosing to remain neutral and not helping either side. However, Zhou Yanfeng missed Zhao Lun. He thought that Zhao Lun would definitely choose to remain neutral and not support either side, even if he did not stand on his side, given his hatred for Yuan Ji. However, he never expected that Zhao Lun would choose the option that he thought was the least likely.

What on earth is going on?

Zhao Lun looked at the stunned expressions of Yuan Ji, Zhou Yanfeng and others, and was secretly proud of himself.

He finally had the power to influence the major events in the court!

This feeling of being able to influence political decisions was so wonderful that Zhao Lun enjoyed it very much!

Although Zhao Lun had not yet become emperor, now, in another way, he had experienced the power that only emperors could have, and he felt very happy.

Didn't Zhao Lun hate Yuan Ji?

That was naturally impossible. He could not forget the sniper attack Yuanji had made on him at the coronation ceremony yesterday. If he could, Zhao Lun would have wanted to kill Yuanji.

However, Zhao Lun also hated Zhou Yanfeng, because, in Zhao Lun's view, it was the neutral attitude of Zhou Yanfeng and others that led to the development of things to this point. If Zhou Yanfeng and others had supported him earlier, how could so many things have happened? He clearly had the will in his hand, but Zhou Yanfeng and others just didn't believe him and didn't choose to support him, which made Zhao Lun full of hatred for Zhou Yanfeng and others.

Moreover, the current seven-member group was also proposed by Zhou Yanfeng. In Zhao Lun's view, this was Zhou Yanfeng's attempt to seize power from him, and these rights should have belonged to him only. Zhou Yanfeng did not choose him before, and it must have been because he wanted to seize more power.

Therefore, in Zhao Lun's heart, his hatred for Zhou Yanfeng was no less than that for Yuanji.

Now, even if Zhou Yanfeng wins, he may even use this incident to establish his authority in the court. From now on, the officials in the court will follow his lead, which Zhao Lun cannot accept.

Those should belong to him!

So, he can't let Zhou Yanfeng win!

In Zhao Lun's heart, the desire for the throne has not decreased in the slightest. He will never allow another strong official to appear in the court. Otherwise, it will be more difficult for him to ascend the throne. Once Zhou Yanfeng establishes his authority in the hearts of the officials, Zhao Lun will have to look at Zhou Yanfeng's face in the future. At that time, if Zhou Yanfeng does not support him, it will be basically impossible for him to ascend the throne.

Before today, Zhou Yanfeng had never supported him. Zhou Yanfeng, who has established authority and has more power, can suddenly change his mind and support him?

Zhao Lun is not stupid. He understands that it is absolutely impossible!

Therefore, Zhao Lun must snipe Zhou Yanfeng and not let him succeed.

"Now, there are three votes in favor of Minister Zhou, and three votes in favor of Minister Yuan. There is no winner. I think we should put this matter aside for a while and discuss it later." Zhao Lun looked at the stunned crowd and said with a little pride.

This is exactly the result Zhao Lun needs:

Zhou Yanfeng didn't win, Yuan Ji didn't win, and no one won, which means he won.

As for the lives of the common people, Zhao Lun doesn't care. What he cares more about now is power. In order to fight for the throne, it is worth it to kill some people.

"I agree with the words of the third prince. This matter cannot be determined for a while. Let's talk about it later." Yuan Ji said immediately.

Zhao Lun just supported Yuan Ji, and Yuan Ji immediately returned the favor and responded. He also didn't care about the lives of the people. At this sensitive and critical moment, fighting for power is the most important thing. Otherwise, if he fails, he will lose his life. In this case, how can he care about the lives of the people?

Zhou Yanfeng looked at Zhao Lun, then at Yuan Ji, wondering if the two had really reached an agreement before. Otherwise, why would the two who were at loggerheads before cooperate so well now?

Zhou Yanfeng was in a bad mood because his opinion was not recognized. He was not worried about the lives of the people. What he cared about most now was whether Yuan Ji and Zhao Lun had come together. If Yuan Ji changed his allegiance to Zhao Lun, one was the Minister of Personnel and the other was a prince with a will, then the possibility of Zhao Lun ascending the throne would be greatly increased.

That was definitely not what Zhou Yanfeng wanted to see. He had just gained power and would never be willing to give it up.

"Okay." Zhou Yanfeng nodded and said, "Then let's put this matter aside for now and continue to discuss the next thing."

As a superpower, Yanfeng Country has a lot of things to deal with every day. Even though many things have been handled by the officials below, there are still many things sent to the imperial capital and the palace. These things were originally handled by the emperor, but now they need to discuss and decide together. Relief for the people is just one of these things.

However, Zhou Yanfeng was destined to have a bad day today. All his opinions were refuted by Yuanji. As long as he supported something, Yuanji opposed it, and he opposed it. Yuanji supported it.

What made Zhou Yanfeng even more uncomfortable was that Hou Yi and Zhao Lun always stood on Yuanji's side.

Hou Yi was fine, he was originally an ally of Yuanji, but Zhao Lun's choice made Zhou Yanfeng uncomfortable.

Once was a coincidence, but now it has happened so many times, it is definitely not a coincidence. Zhou Yanfeng guessed in his heart that Yuanji and Zhao Lun must have reached some kind of agreement in private, otherwise, their opinions would not be so consistent now.
