Chapter 2207 Bad News

At this time, Zhou Guang would never have thought that Wu Fan's choice of the new emperor was not those princes, but Princess Zhao Qi!

Of course, this could not be blamed on Zhou Guang's lack of imagination. After all, this kind of thing was too unbelievable. Not to mention Zhou Guang, no one else would have thought of this.

While Wu Fan was thinking about helping Zhao Qi, the news that Guan Zhuo was going to release the second prince Zhao Ke began to spread slowly.

Bang!

The third prince Zhao Lun, who was in the mansion, slammed the table hard, his face looked extremely ferocious.

"Is that old man Guan Zhuo crazy? The second prince poisoned his father, and he just let him go? Is he worthy of his father's trust in him? Is he worthy of his identity as the Minister of Justice?! Ah!"

Zhao Lun roared in anger.

Originally, the eldest prince escaped and the second prince was in prison. He had the best chance to inherit the throne. As a result, not only did he encounter accidents and obstacles when he ascended the throne, but now even the second prince who was in prison was about to be released. How could he accept this?

The second prince Zhao Ke came out, which would inevitably affect the attitudes of many people, including Yuan Ji and Hou Yi!

Originally, Zhao Ke had some ideas about Yuan Ji and Hou Yi. He also believed that after his constant solicitation, the coercion of Zhou Yanfeng and others, and the fact that the second prince could not be released from prison, he could win the support of Yuan Ji and Hou Yi.

As a result, he has not succeeded yet, and the second prince Zhao Ke is about to be released from prison. Yuan Ji and Hou Yi, seeing the second prince released from prison, can still come to his camp?

Obviously impossible!

This is exactly what Zhao Lun was most angry about.

But in fact, when Gu Lin was found and when Gu Lin confessed those things, Zhao Lun had some guesses about this situation in his heart, but he thought before that Guan Zhuo could continue to detain Zhao Ke for a while, especially after the news of Hou Zhong's assassination of Zhao Xuan came out, Zhao Lun felt that Guan Zhuo was very likely to continue to detain Zhao Ke, and Yuan Ji and Hou Yi's previous efforts would be in vain, but he did not expect that Guan Zhuo was not affected by those news and was going to release Zhao Ke now.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

However, although Zhao Lun was very angry, he had no way to stop it. He did not have the right, and the relationship between him and Guan Zhuo was not particularly good. Guan Zhuo would never listen to him.

Without the emperor, no one in the court had the right to order Guan Zhuo.

Zhao Lun walked back and forth in his living room. The atmosphere around him seemed extremely depressing. If this matter was not handled well, he might have to bid farewell to the throne completely.

Zhao Lun once again felt that he was alone. Although he had won over some officials to join him after his efforts in the past few days, the time was too short after all. He had not won over many officials. Moreover, the officials he had won over now were not particularly important officials in the court, and they were not very helpful for this matter.

Could it be that he had to watch Zhao Ke being released by Guan Zhuo and thus add a powerful competitor for himself?

No!

This is absolutely not possible!

Zhao Lun paced back and forth anxiously, and he really came up with a solution!

"Oh, Zhou Yanfeng!" Zhao Lun suddenly stopped and his eyes lit up again: "Now there is no emperor, no one can stop Guan Zhuo from making a decision, but there is a seven-member group in the court! It has been agreed before that all matters of the court, big or small, must be discussed and decided by the seven-member group. Guan Zhuo wants to release the second prince, which is such a big thing, so it is natural to discuss it. This is my chance!"

The more Zhao Lun thought about it, the more he felt that there was still hope for this matter, and the hope was not small!

The establishment of a seven-member group to discuss matters of the court was agreed by everyone before.

Releasing the second prince is a big deal, so it is naturally necessary to discuss it. For this matter, Yuan Ji and Hou Yi, it is obvious that they will definitely agree. As for Guan Zhuo, although he has always been neutral before, this matter is his responsibility after all, and it is his intention to release the second prince Zhao Ke. In this way, he will definitely vote in favor.

In this way, the number of people who agree to release Zhao Ke has reached three. Although there are many people, it is not more than half!

There are also Zhou Yanfeng and three others!

You know, these three people were clearly fighting for power with Yuanji and Hou Yi before, especially Zhou Yanfeng, who was obviously eyeing Yuanji's position as the Minister of Personnel. In this way, Zhou Yanfeng and the other two would definitely not want to see Zhao Ke released.

In this way, the number of people who opposed the release of Zhao Ke was also three.

Finally, it was me!

Can I agree to release Zhao Ke?

How is it possible!

In this way, the number of people who opposed reached four, exceeding the number of people who agreed, so Guan Zhuo could not release Zhao Ke!

Even if he couldn't be locked up all the time, it was still okay to keep him locked up for a while, and anything could happen during this time.

"We have to communicate this matter with Zhou Yanfeng first!" Zhao Lun said to himself.

"Come on, prepare the sedan!"

On the other side, Zhou Yanfeng and the other two gathered together again. Their expressions at this time were not much different from Zhao Lun's. Obviously, they had also learned that Guan Zhuo was going to release Zhao Ke.

This news made them surprised and angry.

In their opinion, they and others had spread rumors, and those rumors must have reached Guan Zhuo's ears. After hearing those words, Guan Zhuo would definitely not release Zhao Ke, and might even keep Zhao Ke under strict supervision.

But they never expected that Guan Zhuo had heard the news, but his reaction was completely opposite to what they had thought before. Not only did he not intend to keep a close watch on Zhao Ke, he was actually preparing to release Zhao Ke, which was really beyond their expectations.

At the same time, they were all very angry, because once Zhao Ke was released, it would affect their previous plans. They did not think that Zhao Lun had the ability to fight Zhao Ke, Yuan Ji, Hou Yi and others alone, and perhaps, Hou Chong!

Once Zhao Lun was defeated, and Zhao Xuan took the initiative to escape, then the candidate for the new emperor would be revealed.

Once the candidate for the new emperor was determined, their seven-member group would be disbanded, and the power in their hands would also be dispersed.

As staunch supporters of Zhao Ke, Yuan Ji and Hou Yi would naturally receive huge rewards, and it would be even more impossible for them to shake Yuan Ji's position.

Therefore, Guan Zhuo's small move to release Zhao Ke would have a huge impact, and this impact would be a very bad impact on Zhou Yanfeng and the other two.
