Chapter 2248 I'll go with you

Zhao Lun looked at the crowd subconsciously. They all had incomprehensible expressions, but no one stood up to speak for him. Most of them were laughing at the joke. Even Hou Yi, who had intended to turn to him before, was kind-hearted and mute at this time. No words.

Zhao Lun was furious when he saw this. He knew very well that now he was the biggest suspect in Zhao Ke's murder. Everyone wanted to cut ties with him. At this time, no one would stand up and speak for him.

Of course, Zhao Lun's time was not in vain. There were still some civil servants and generals in the court who joined his camp. However, none of these people came to Zhao Ke's dinner tonight, so they were not present. At first, Zhao Lun naturally seemed alone, as if he was isolated.

"Your Highness, let's go." Guanzhuo said again.

While they were talking, Guan Zhuo's people and the guards from Zhao Ke's mansion had surrounded Zhao Lun intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Lun did not come alone. He also brought people with him. However, under the current circumstances, the few people he brought obviously did not have much effect.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

When Zhao Lun said this, he gritted his teeth and looked extremely ugly. If he could, he certainly didn't want to agree, but now, the situation was beyond his control, so he could only agree.

Hearing that Zhao Lun agreed, Guan Zhuo also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhao Lun insisted on disagreeing, a conflict would inevitably break out. Once a conflict broke out, things would become difficult to control. That was definitely not what Guan Zhuo wanted to see. .

Zhao Lun was taken away by Guan Zhuo in full view of everyone. After the two left, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Everyone was whispering, and the content of the discussion was all related to this matter.

Everyone knows very well that what just happened here will definitely affect the situation in their Yanfeng Kingdom. Zhao Lun, like Zhao Ke before, once he is taken away, it will not be easy to get out. Guan Zhuo He will not be released easily, and other forces in the court will not allow Zhao Lun to come out easily.

Zhao Lun's inability to come out would naturally have a great impact on the entire court. After all, after Zhao Ke's death, Zhao Lun should have been the prince most likely to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

But now, Zhao Lun has been arrested, and judging from the current situation, it is not easy to get out. Everyone naturally begins to wonder who is the most likely prince to ascend the throne and become emperor. They are all ministers in the court. Naturally, they are very concerned about the selection of the new emperor. After all, this will be related to their future and prospects.

When everyone was thinking about this matter, the first thing they thought of was the eldest prince Zhao Xuan who had fled to the southern city!

As the eldest prince, Zhao Xuan has an advantage, because he is the eldest son. Secondly, Zhao Ke died suddenly and Zhao Lun was arrested. One of the two princes has completely lost the possibility of ascending to the throne, and the other is also waning from the throne. The journey is getting further and further away. As a result, the possibility of the eldest prince ascending to the throne naturally increases greatly.

But the eldest prince also has his own problems. First of all, he is not in South Neighbor City now. He is far away from the center of power. If he wants to ascend the throne, he must come back first. It is impossible to stay in South Neighbor City.

Secondly, everyone has not forgotten why the eldest prince escaped. If the third prince Zhao Lun is suspected of killing his brother, then the eldest prince Zhao Xuan is suspected of killing his father. Moreover, the suspicions on both of them are very high. , so big that it is difficult to explain clearly, and so big that if he ascends the throne by force, it will be difficult to convince the public.

You must know that the current situation in Yanfeng Country is not good. There are many rebel forces in the territory. If the new emperor cannot convince the people, it will inevitably cause greater riots and give those rebel forces an opportunity. When the time comes, they The situation in Yanfeng Country will be even worse.

Therefore, it would be very difficult for the eldest prince and the third prince to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Since these two people were not good enough, everyone had to consider other candidates, but after many selections, they could not select a qualified candidate. The other princes were either too young or even more incompetent than Zhao Lun. No matter which one it is, there is no way to satisfy people.

What can we do?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They never thought that the candidate for the new emperor would be so difficult to choose. The candidate for the new emperor should have been decided long ago, but now it has been difficult to determine. However, if the throne remains vacant, it will cause a lot of trouble and make people in the territory The rebel forces and the other three superpowers have ideas they shouldn't have.

However, none of the remaining princes were good choices, and everyone had no idea for a while.

Yuan Ji and Hou Yi were also considering candidates for the new emperor at this time.

After the initial anger, Yuanji also had to think about his future.

The third prince is absolutely not allowed. The relationship between the two has reached a freezing point. Therefore, Yuanji will never allow the third prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

But although Zhao Lun was taken away, it did not mean that he had completely lost the opportunity to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Yuan Ji had not forgotten how they persuaded Guanzhuo to release Zhao Ke. Since Guanzhuo could give up his principle for the sake of the overall situation, he would release Zhao Ke. Zhao Ke, then it is difficult to guarantee that he will not release Zhao Lun. After all, with the new emperor, the situation in their Yanfeng Kingdom can be stable. Therefore, Guanzhuo is still very likely to release Zhao Lun. Once Zhao Lun is released smoothly, If he goes to prison, the situation will be similar to that of Zhao Ke, and he will become the most favorable candidate for the new emperor. This trip to prison will wash away the suspicion on him. At that time, if he wants to prevent Zhao Lun from ascending the throne, he will become the most favorable candidate for the new emperor. Extremely difficult.

The reason why Yuanji said this can only mean that he does not know Guanzhuo very well.

Guan Zhuo’s release of Zhao Ke did violate his previous principles, but in fact, at that time, Guan Zhuo had basically concluded that Zhao Ke had nothing to do with the death of the old emperor, so he chose to release Zhao Ke.

Now, Zhao Lun’s situation is completely different from Zhao Ke’s. Guan Zhuo can basically be sure that Zhao Lun is the real murderer behind the poisoning of Zhao Ke. In this case, he will not release Zhao Lun, even if he knows that releasing Zhao Lun can stabilize the situation, he will not do so. This is completely different from Zhao Ke before.

It is precisely because of his lack of understanding of Guan Zhuo that Yuan Ji has this worry, and because of this worry, Yuan Ji urgently hopes to find other candidates to replace Zhao Lun.

But who to choose?

Yuan Ji fell into the same distress as others. He thought about it for a long time, but he also failed to choose a suitable person.

"How about supporting the eldest prince?" Yuanji thought to himself: "After the news of the arrest of the third prince spreads, the eldest prince will definitely not remain indifferent. As long as he can return to the imperial capital, he will have the hope of ascending the throne and becoming emperor."
