Chapter 2135: All Acting

"Two ministers, please!"

Outside Zhao Lun's mansion, Zhao Lun himself did not enter the mansion first, but waited for Yuan Ji and Hou Yi, and his attitude was very humble.

"Your Highness is too polite." Yuan Ji and Hou Yi said.

At this time, the two were more certain that Zhao Lun wanted to win them over, otherwise, with Zhao Lun's character, he would never do such a "courteous" thing.

"It should be."

The three walked into the mansion together, and Zhao Lun took out the best tea in the mansion to entertain the two.

Yuan Ji and Hou Yi had already guessed what Zhao Lun was thinking, so they were not too surprised or terrified by Zhao Lun's enthusiasm.

"Two ministers, how is this tea?" Zhao Lun asked casually.

"Very good."

"If you like it, you can take some back when you leave later."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The three chatted about nothing, Zhao Lun was not in a hurry to get to the point, and Yuan Ji and Hou Yi were naturally even less anxious.

Finally, after half an hour of nonsense, Zhao Lun couldn't hold back any longer.

"My two ministers, what do you think of what happened today?" Zhao Lun asked.

Yuan Ji and Hou Yi looked at each other and knew that Zhao Lun finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"It's obvious that Zhou Yanfeng planned today's events, and his purpose was to control the power of the government." Yuan Ji said bluntly.

Yuan Ji didn't need to laugh with Zhao Lun on this point, because both sides knew each other's thoughts and positions.

"Minister Yuan is right." Zhao Lun was very satisfied with Yuan Ji's frankness. He felt that this was a good start: "Zhou Yanfeng is a person who doesn't seem to be very ambitious on weekdays, but I didn't expect that he is such an ambitious person."

"Yes, in the past, we were all deceived by him." Yuan Ji said: "Fortunately, the Third Prince was here today to crush Zhou Yanfeng's conspiracy. Otherwise, he would have succeeded. If such a villain controlled the government, it would be a very terrible thing for our Yanfeng country."

"Yes, the government must not be controlled by people like Zhou Yanfeng." Zhao Lun said: "However, now Zhou Yanfeng, Li Yang and Qi Kai are in collusion. If we want to stop them, we can only work closely together."

"The Third Prince is right." Yuan Ji nodded and said: "Only if we stand in the same camp can we stop Zhou Yanfeng and the other two."

Hearing Yuan Ji say this, Zhao Lun was happy.

Yuan Ji and Hou Yi guessed correctly that Zhao Lun invited them this time mainly to win them over.

Zhao Lun now knows where his weakness is, that is, he lacks prestige and support among the ministers. He is supported by important ministers, but it does not mean that no one in the court supports him. After all, he has the will in his hand and is a prince, so naturally there will be people supporting him. However, the number of those who support him is not large, and their status is not very important, which cannot be compared with Yuan Ji and others.

Therefore, Zhao Lun now has his sights on the six ministers.

And today's incident is a good opportunity for him, so he took the opportunity to invite Yuan Ji and Hou Yi.

The result also made Zhao Lun very satisfied, and Yuan Ji and Hou Yi responded very positively.

"It turns out that Minister Yuan also has such an idea, that's great." Zhao Lun said: "Then we will form an offensive and defensive alliance in the future to jointly stop Zhou Yanfeng and the other two from doing anything reckless."

"Good!"

After setting the tone, the three of them talked happily. Yuan Ji and Hou Yi stayed in Zhao Lun's house for two or three hours before leaving, and in order to show his sincerity and attitude, Zhao Lun personally sent them out.

After Yuanji and Hou Yi left, the smile on Zhao Lun's face disappeared instantly, replaced by indifference.

"Humph!"

Zhao Lun snorted coldly and returned to the house.

Obviously, Zhao Lun did not really want to form an alliance with Yuanji and Hou Yi. This was just a choice he had to make. He had not forgotten the trouble Yuanji and Hou Yi had caused him. He even wanted to kill Yuanji and Hou Yi.

However, the situation has changed now. He needs to use Yuanji and Hou Yi. He can only temporarily put down his anger and choose to cooperate with Yuanji and Hou Yi. But putting it aside temporarily does not mean that he has forgotten it. He will only remember this hatred in his heart.

Yuanji and Hou Yi's performance completely deceived Zhao Lun, making Zhao Lun mistakenly believe that Yuanji and Hou Yi wanted to get close to him. Zhao Lun was very satisfied with this, but he did not rush to ask Yuanji and Hou Yi to support his ascension to the throne. He felt that the time was not yet ripe. Yuanji and Hou Yi had just come close to each other, and it was even possible that they had not yet made up their minds. He should not rush.

Anyway, now that things have had a good start, Zhao Lun is not in a hurry. He believes that he can conquer Yuanji and Hou Yi and make them completely surrender to him.

Yuanji and Hou Yi's visit to Zhao Lun has always attracted a lot of attention. When they knew that Yuanji and Hou Yi stayed in Zhao Lun's house for a long time, and Zhao Lun personally sent them out, many people were murmuring in their hearts.

Could it be that the imperial capital is really going to change?

Yuanji and Hou Yi are really going to abandon the second prince and turn to the third prince?

Many people don't believe it, and don't believe that Yuanji and Hou Yi can look up to Zhao Lun, but now that the facts are like this, they can't help but think about it. What's more, the second prince has been imprisoned, and it is normal for Yuanji and Hou Yi to re-choose the object of support.

Everyone's attention was attracted by Yuanji, Hou Yi and Zhao Lun. As a result, fewer people paid attention to the second prince Zhao Ke. In the eyes of many people, even if the second prince was wronged, by the time he came out, the overall situation would have been decided and it would be too late. Therefore, the second prince had no hope.

But Guan Zhuo did not care about these things. After returning from the palace, he hurried to handle the case. Gu Lin and the doctor were settled by him. Not long after he returned to the government office, the subordinates who were sent to the palace also came back to report.

"Sir, we did find the unused poison in the eldest prince's bedroom." The subordinate replied.

Because Zhao Xuan had left the palace, and everyone's attention was on the seven-member team, the process of these people going to Zhao Xuan's bedroom to find the poison was smooth and was not blocked.

Guan Zhuo looked at the poison in his hand and understood everything that had happened. It was obvious that the Second Prince Zhao Ke was indeed wronged and he just happened to be there. The real murderer who poisoned the late emperor was the First Prince Zhao Xuan!
