Chapter 2212: You can fight for it

"Zhao Lun is being pushed into a corner!" Yuan Ji said, "He knows very well that once the Second Prince is released from prison, he will not be able to defeat him. Therefore, he certainly does not want to see the Second Prince released from prison. In this case, it is not surprising that he would go to Zhou Yanfeng and the other two. At this time, he does not care about his face."

Speaking of this, Yuan Ji paused, and then continued, "This matter is still a problem with the Ministry of Justice!"

"Ministry of Justice?"

"Yes!" Yuan Ji said, "Besides the two of us, only the people on Guan Zhuo's side know that he wants to release the Second Prince. Obviously, Zhao Lun and Zhou Yanfeng When people heard this news, it must have come from the Ministry of Justice. It seems that the Ministry of Justice is not a monolithic entity. "

Yuan Ji's face was worried: "I didn't want to worry about the Ministry of Justice, but the Second Prince is still in prison, and I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

"Accident? What kind of accident could there be?" Hou Yi said: "Could it be that those people dare to attack the Second Prince? They are so bold!"

Hou Yi never believed that anyone would dare to attack the Second Prince. Although the Second Prince was imprisoned, he was not convicted. His status was still extremely noble. If anyone dared to harm Zhao Ke, it would be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

Hou Yi believed that some people in the Ministry of Justice were not strict, but he did not believe that those people dared to do such a treasonous thing.

However, Yuan Ji shook his head and said: "In the face of interests, anything can happen. As long as there are enough interests, there will definitely be people willing to take risks and do such treasonous things. "

Although Hou Yi still didn't believe it, he didn't refute it again, because this was not the point now.

"Now, the most important thing is to get the Second Prince out as soon as possible." Hou Yi said: "Now that the news has leaked, Zhao Lun has taken the initiative to find Zhou Yanfeng and others. This matter may be troublesome."

Speaking of this, Hou Yi's face showed deep worry.

Zhao Lun definitely didn't want Zhao Ke to come out. There is no doubt about this. Originally, they could have gotten Zhao Ke out before Zhao Lun reacted. As long as Zhao Ke was out of prison, it would be difficult to put him in again.

But now the news has leaked from the Ministry of Justice. Zhao Lun will definitely find ways to stop this matter. What could have been going smoothly is destined to have twists and turns again.

Yuan Ji frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I'm afraid Zhao Lun will bring this matter to the table. Once that happens, we can only vote. Guan Zhuo should stand on our side this time. After all, he promised to release the second prince, but Zhou Yanfeng and the other two are hard to say. If they stand on Zhao Lun's side, this matter will really be troublesome." Once Zhou Yanfeng and the others stand on Zhao Lun's side, Zhao Lun will have an absolute advantage, and it will be very difficult for the second prince to get out of prison again. "Why don't we go find Zhou Yanfeng and the others?" Hou Yi said, "Although they were fighting for power with us before, I think the second and third princes should be similar to them in terms of the prince's enthronement. They don't have a clear support for anyone, and they will definitely stand in the camp of whoever gives more benefits. At most, we will give up some interests and win over Zhou Yanfeng and the others."

During the last court meeting, Zhou Yanfeng and the other two clearly wanted to fight for power with them. They still relied on Zhao Lun's sudden statement to save the situation. It can be said that their relationship with Zhou Yanfeng and the others is not good.

But this is a different time. Before, they had the same attitude with Zhao Lun, but now, they are going to be enemies with Zhao Lun again. Similarly, they can also win over Zhou Yanfeng and the other three who were enemies with them before to become allies.

As I said, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. If there is a conflict of interests, yesterday's allies can become enemies today. If there is a common interest, yesterday's enemies can also become allies today.

Yuanji thought about it and said, "It's not impossible. No matter how much Zhou Yanfeng and the other two fight for power, they will eventually choose the prince they support. For them, it doesn't matter who they support. It depends on who can give them the greatest benefit. As long as we are willing to give up some benefits, it is still very likely to win them over."

The more Yuanji talked, the more he felt that this matter could be done.

The reason why Yuanji and Hou Yi thought so was because they didn't know that Zhou Yanfeng and the other two had decided to support the ninth prince. In their opinion, the person Zhou Yanfeng and the other two would support in the end would be either the second prince or the third prince. If it was too much, at most one more eldest prince would be added. Apart from these three princes, Zhou Yanfeng and the other two would not support anyone else.

It was precisely because of this cognition that they felt that Zhou Yanfeng and the other two could be won over, but they just had to give up some benefits. They all believed that Zhou Yanfeng and the other three were waiting for a price, and they could be won over with benefits.

"However, judging from their previous struggle for power, I'm afraid we have to give up a lot of benefits to impress them." Hou Yi said: "I'm afraid they won't be interested in a little bit of favor." Before, Zhou Yanfeng and the other two had already openly wanted to compete with Yuanji for power, which shows that the three of them are now very ambitious. In this case, a little bit of petty profit is indeed unlikely to impress them. In this case, if you want to win their support, you must spend a lot of money.

But if the promised benefits are too many and too big, let alone whether the Second Prince will agree after knowing it, Hou Yi and Yuan Ji will be uncomfortable first. After all, the benefits given up can be said to be snatched from their hands. It is impossible to say that they are not in a good mood.

Yuan Ji obviously understood this point. He snorted coldly and said, "We will give them whatever they want! We are not afraid of them asking for too much, but we are afraid that they will not put forward conditions. As long as they dare to put forward conditions, we dare to agree!"

Hou Yi was slightly startled when he heard this, and looked at Yuan Ji and said, "Minister Yuan, you are..."

Yuan Ji's words scared Hou Yi a little. Obviously, Yuan Ji was indeed ready to spend a lot of money, but if the money was too big, the loss of their interests would be great. At that time, even if they won, I am afraid that they would not get much benefit. This is obviously not what Hou Yi wants to see.

Yuanji looked at Hou Yi, smiled, and said, "Who do you think is the most powerful in our Yanfeng Kingdom?"

"Of course it's your Majesty." Hou Yi said without thinking, "Whoever ascends the throne will be the most powerful."

"If the second prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, will he be the one with the most power?"

"Of course!"

"Who does the second prince trust the most, us or them?"
