Chapter 2046 The pressure drops suddenly
Yuan Ji and others knew how tempting the throne was.
It can be said that all the princes of Yanfeng Kingdom basically have ideas about the throne, and in the end only three princes were fighting for the throne. This does not mean that other princes do not want to be emperors, but they are just their confidence and capital for the throne.
The eldest prince Zhao Xuan, who is the eldest son of their Yanfeng Kingdom, is qualified to inherit the throne. Moreover, there are also a group of supporters around him. It is understandable that he is unwilling to accept the throne.
"It's a pity that Zhao Lun was not dead." Hou Yi said: "If Zhao Lun died in assassination and we used this excuse to attack Zhao Xuan, then we will be the last winner."
"Even if Zhao Lun is not dead, the final winner will only be us!" Yuan Ji said: "Besides, I heard that the assassins who assassinated Zhao Lun were very skilled. They did not choose to retreat even though they knew they were out of the way. Instead, they still tried to assassinate Zhao Lun. In the end, they chose to commit suicide instead of being prisoners. This shows that these people are very loyal to Zhao Xuan. Even if they kill Zhao Lun, we may not be able to use their mouths and use them as weapons to attack Zhao Xuan."
At this time, Yuan Ji's expression had recovered a lot. Although it was still a shame to him to passively send her concubine, he had figured it out that as long as he was the final winner, no one would dare to discuss him in this matter.
It is very cost-effective and completely acceptable to him to seek a turnaround at the cost of a concubine.
After hearing Yuan Ji's words, Hou Yi and Hou Chong nodded in agreement. Hou Chong said in a little amazement: "I really didn't expect that there was a group of such people around Zhao Xuan. No one discovered them before. They were hiding them very deeply. Sure enough, none of these princes are fuel-efficient lights!"
Hou Chong's previous duty was to monitor all officials, and several princes were within his surveillance range. Of course, he naturally could not be as arrogant and domineering as he was to the officials, but there was still basic supervision. However, he had never noticed that there was such a group of people around the eldest prince Zhao Xuan before, which shows how deeply Zhao Xuan hid this group of people.
"If it weren't for being forced to, Zhao Xuan would probably not have used those people." Hou Yi said: "However, from another perspective, Zhao Xuan even sent out those who were hiding deeply, which means that he was really forced to do so, and there was no other backup plan."
Yuan Ji and Hou Chong nodded in agreement.
The people sent by Zhao Xuan were not only hidden very deeply, but also were all good at it. Although they were unable to kill Zhao Lun, they also caused great harm to Zhao Lun. Such people are definitely not ordinary people. I believe that Zhao Xuan would not use those people unless it was absolutely necessary. Those people should be very important trump cards in Zhao Xuan's hands, but now they are used. This can indeed show that Zhao Xuan has no choice but to do with the current situation.
"In my opinion, Zhao Xuan has hidden those people in secret, and probably has other larger purposes." Yuan Ji said: "But now that those people are dead, everything has become a bubble, which has a great blow to Zhao Xuan."
"I just don't know if there are such people in Zhao Xuan's hands. If there are still people, we have to be careful." Hou Yi said.
"The one who is most wary of Zhao Xuan now must be Zhao Lun." Hou smiled and said with a heavy smile: "It is said that the number of guards in Zhao Lun's mansion has doubled. In order to protect his own safety, he even transferred the army from his good generals, which shows how scared he was."
If a prince had privately mobilized his army in the past, this was a big deal and a very sensitive matter. When the old emperor was there, no prince dared to do this, and no prince could do it.
But now the old emperor is gone, and Zhao Lun has a will in his hand. In this way, it becomes possible to be able to mobilize the army. After all, in the eyes of many people, Zhao Lun is already the next emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom. Although it is a bit unreasonable to mobilize the army now, those generals are unwilling to leave a bad impression on the future emperor, right?
It is precisely because of this that the army will enter Zhao Lun's mansion to station and protect it. In this case, it has become impossible for someone to assassinate Zhao Lun.
Fortunately, Yuan Ji, Hou Chong, and Hou Yi did not think about assassinating Zhao Lun. If they took down Doctor Liu, there was no need to use this extreme method.
"The failure of this operation also means that the eldest prince Zhao Xuan has no ability to compete for the throne." Hou Yi also smiled and said, "In this way, our opponent is only the third prince Zhao Lun. With Liu Bing in his hands, Zhao Lun is also in danger, and victory is right in front of us!"
Hou Yi's expression was very excited, and both Yuan Ji and Hou Chong were also happy.
When the old emperor just passed away, they thought they were sure to win because they had the strongest strength, and the second prince Zhao Ke was also the heir appointed by the old emperor.
However, the development of the situation was not as they expected. First, the old emperor died of poisoning, while the second prince Zhao Ke became the biggest suspect. Then the third prince Zhao Lun unexpectedly took out the last emperor's will, which was a bigger blow to them. They, who had an absolute advantage, suddenly fell into a huge crisis.
Fighting for the throne is not a trivial matter. If it is done, it will naturally enjoy endless wealth and honor. But if it is defeated, it will cost a huge price. This price is likely to be their lives!
Therefore, although Yuan Ji and the other two have experienced strong storms, they also felt very stressed during this period.
Fortunately, after their efforts, the situation has reversed. They not only took down Doctor Liu and allowed him to use it for their own use, but also had the key evidence to prove that the will in Zhao Lun was forged. At the same time, the eldest prince Zhao Xuan also lost his own position and handed over his trump card. The development of the situation in all aspects is very beneficial to them.
At this moment, the huge pressure on the three of them was finally released and naturally they were in a good mood.
"By the way, when I came just now, my subordinates reported that the eldest prince had taken his people out of the city." Hou Chong said casually.
"Have you left the city?" Hou Yi was a little puzzled: "What is he doing when he left the city?"
"Who knows." Hou Chong was in a good mood and did not take this matter to heart. He casually said: "Maybe it was because of his failure in action and knew that he had no hope of ascending the throne, so he went out of the city to relax."
Relaxation?
