Zhao Xuanji sat in his seat, his face like a flat lake.
But the thunder in my heart has already been cleared away.
Isn't it just for the word power that Zhao Xuanji has been fighting for in his life?
He has reached the extreme of being a minister. He doesn't want the foundation he has worked hard for all his life to be as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the imperial power, or he also wants to get greater power, so he has no choice but to fight against the imperial power.
After all, the road he can take has come to an end.
So he had to find a new way out.
But how difficult is it to walk this new road? Since ancient times, powerful ministers have been like stars in the sky. In almost every dynasty, there will be one or two ministers who have overwhelming power. However, there have been no more than three ministers who can lead this road from ancient times to the present.
.
The success rate of treason and usurping the world as a minister is not much higher than that of a person with ordinary qualifications who wants to enter the land of gods.
And Zhao Xuanji's hope is even slimmer.
Because he had already tried it once, and that time, Emperor Daxing woke up and shattered all his hopes, and he failed.
This kind of thing can never happen again.
Even Zhao Xuanji himself knows that unless Emperor Daxing dies suddenly and Prince Li Chen makes a series of stupid moves, the probability of him usurping the throne for the second time is pitifully small.
But now, he seemed to see another way.
Confess the king.
No one can face these two words and still remain calm.
Including Zhao Xuanji.
Although there was no expression on Zhao Xuanji's face, Zhou Ping'an seemed to have already taken everything into consideration. He spoke eloquently: "Your Highness personally said that as long as Mr. Zhao can help the court solve this problem of 20 million taels,
If there is a gap, then the prince will promise to give Mr. Zhao a throne."
"And it is a throne with a fiefdom and real power. In this way, Mr. Zhao is the seventh king with a different surname since the founding of this dynasty, and the first king with a different surname in the Great Qin Empire in a hundred years."
Zhao Xuanji slowly clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice: "Twenty million taels, but are you going to solve the bank's problem?"
Zhou Pingan smiled and said nothing, but not answering was also an answer.
Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "Hasn't His Highness ever suspected that I am behind all this?"
"I doubted it."
Zhou Ping'an admitted simply and straightforwardly, and then said: "But no."
"The reason is very simple. The first person to be harmed by this incident is the East Palace, and the second person to be harmed is Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao has no reason to do this kind of thing that hurts the enemy by one thousand and damages himself by eight hundred. Moreover, it damages the foundation of the imperial court.
Mr. Zhao has his eyes on the world and will definitely not dig his own grave."
Zhao Xuanji laughed and said, "I didn't expect His Highness to praise me so highly. I'm really flattered."
"how?"
Zhou Ping'an asked further, "What does Mr. Zhao think of this deal?"
Zhao Xuanji said playfully: "Are you anxious?"
"I'm anxious."
Zhou Ping'an pointed outside and said: "Nowadays, the bank is queuing up every day. News about the empty treasury of the imperial court, the unfavorable war on the front line, and the imminent large sum of compensation are rampant, and the people's trust in the imperial court is crumbling every day. If at this time, the bank will completely
If the exchange is broken, then a civil uprising sweeping the country is just around the corner. Once such a thing happens, the foundation of the imperial court's rule will be on the verge of collapse, rebellions will rise everywhere, and the imperial court's losses will be even greater."
