Is Yuan Ji not clear about the thoughts and expectations of the officials?

No, he knows it!

He knows very well!

To be honest, Yuan Ji's idea is actually similar to them. He also hopes that someone will jump out and publicly oppose Zhao Lun, but this person can be an official, but it cannot be him.

Because, there is a risk of being killed!

Zhou Yanfeng had just died not long ago, and Yuan Ji did not dare to provoke Zhao Lun at this time. Although he did not agree with Zhao Lun in his heart, at this time, he did not dare to disobey Zhao Lun. He could only follow Zhao Lun's words and do it. Otherwise, Zhao Lun would never mind killing another Shangshu.

Therefore, Yuanji chose to compromise very decisively and chose to support Zhao Lun ascend the throne.

Of course, this does not mean that Yuan Ji admits defeat and accepts his fate.

Yuan Ji was just surrendering for the time being. He still opposed Zhao Lun in his heart. The reason why he compromised now was to save his life. After he was safe, he still wanted to fight Zhao Lun.

Yuanji relies on the reliance of the eldest prince. When he contacts the eldest prince, he will join forces with the eldest prince to overthrow Zhao Lun.

Yuanji believes that by that time, there will be many people who will respond to them.

As for now, let Zhao Lun be proud for a while.

"Very good!" Zhao Lun was naturally very satisfied when he saw that Yuanji supported him. He knew very well that Yuanji's status among officials. At this time, he also needed someone with status like Yuanji to support him.

However, Hou Yi looked at Yuanji deeply. With his understanding of Yuanji, he did not believe that Yuanji would give up easily. At this time, he changed his mind so happily, probably because he had other ideas.

But although Hou Yi thought so, he couldn't say anything to Zhao Lun. First of all, he had no evidence. Secondly, Zhao Lun really needs Yuan Ji's support in the current situation. If Yuan Ji had changed his words and Zhao Lun even killed Yuan Ji, it would be somewhat unreasonable.

Therefore, Hou Yi had no choice but to write it down silently.

From Hou Yi's perspective, he naturally hoped that Yuan Ji would be tough, so that Zhao Lun could kill Yuan Ji directly, and Hou Yi would have lost one competitor, and the position of Minister of Personnel is likely to be his.

But now, Yuan Ji is very aware of the current affairs, which makes Hou Yi sigh secretly, knowing that he missed a chance to kill Yuan Ji.

Yuanji's compromise also made Hou Yi realize that Yuanji was terrible, but Zhao Lun seemed to have not seen this.

"Shangshu Qi, what do you think?" Zhao Lun looked at Qi Kai.

Qi Kai looked at Yuanji and then said, "I also agree with Your Highness, you ascend the throne and become emperor."

Yuan Ji didn't dare to object, and Qi Kai was naturally even more afraid.

The smile on Zhao Lun's face became even brighter.

He turned to look at the other ministers present and asked, "What else do you have to say?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they no longer had the excitement they had when they shouted before, and they were hesitating one by one.

Finally, they all made a decision:

"We are willing to worship Your Highness as the emperor."

Obviously, in the face of the threat of death, everyone chose to compromise. Since neither Zhao Lun nor Yuanji stood up to oppose it, they naturally did not dare.

"Okay, very good, hahaha!" Zhao Lun laughed.

At this moment, he felt like he was in control of the whole world, which was very good.

"Shangshu Qi!" Zhao Lun spoke again.

"I'm here." Qi Kai hurriedly stepped out of the line and replied.

"I ordered you to start preparing for the throne ceremony immediately!" Zhao Lun said in a deep voice: "I will ascend the throne early tomorrow morning!"

Although he has not officially ascended the throne, Zhao Lun's name for himself has changed. Obviously, he has brought himself into the role of the new emperor at this time.

"yes!"

Qi Kai did not dare to object to Zhao Lun's request and quickly responded.

It was not surprising that everyone saw Zhao Lun ascending the throne in such a hurry. After all, Zhao Lun even did something like winning the throne by force, so naturally he would not let the ascendance of the throne continue. Naturally, the faster the better.

Yuanji had no expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

As for Hou Yi, although he was a little worried, he was in a good mood at this time. After all, he had taken the right position and chose the right person this time. After that, it was time for him to gain his own investment.

Before Zhao Lun finished speaking, he looked at the ministers present and said, "Then, all the ministers will not go back tonight, so stay here. After dawn, just participate in my throne ceremony."

This was a decision that Zhao Lun had discussed with Hou Yi before.

Both of them knew that this force of seizing the throne would inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among the ministers. If they were asked to go back, no one would know what would happen.

Therefore, the two discussed that after the matter was settled, they would detain these ministers in the palace and wait until Zhao Lun ascends the throne and becomes emperor before they can leave. By that time, Zhao Lun is already the new emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom, so naturally he is not afraid of these people making any small moves in private.

"yes!"

Although the ministers were quite dissatisfied with Zhao Lun's arrangements, they did not dare to refute. The current situation made them feel that Zhao Lun ascended the throne was basically a foregone conclusion and no one could change it. Therefore, they would no longer disobey Zhao Lun at such a moment, because they were making themselves uncomfortable.

Seeing that everyone did not refute their orders at all, Zhao Lun was even more proud.

Zhao Lunke still remembers that not long ago, these ministers looked down on him. Even if he had a will, these ministers were unwilling to be the new emperor. Now, these people have become extremely obedient and well-behaved in front of him. The gap between the two can be said to be quite large.

This made Zhao Lun feel a little regretful that he didn't do it earlier. If he had done it earlier, there would be no need to waste so much time, I'm afraid he would have already taken the throne.

Of course, Zhao Lun would not have thought that if he had taken action early and the eldest prince and the second prince were still there, he might not have been able to control the palace so smoothly.

Zhao Lunzhi looked at everyone proudly, but his brows quickly frowned.

Because, he found that there was one less important person at the scene:

Guanzhuo!

Zhao Lun knew that after he ordered all the third rank and above officials in the imperial capital to enter the palace, not all officials had them. A few of them did not come. Some of them had temporary problems and some were sick. All the eunuchs who sent the order told him about these situations when they came back.

Zhao Lun didn't care about the absence of these ministers. After all, there were only a few people, and they were not too important ministers, and they would not have much impact on the outcome of this matter.
