All Zhao Xingzhi's counselors gathered here. He was sitting on the upper position, his face was dark, his right hand was tightly clasping the edge of the high case next to him, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.
The atmosphere in the lobby was very tense, and except for one young man, everyone looked unhappy.
"It is impossible for my father to suddenly make Zhao Jin the crown prince." Zhao Xingzhi gritted his teeth and slowly squeezed out a sentence.
No one present knew better than him how cold-blooded the emperor Zhao Qian was.
In Zhao Qian's eyes, no one could compare to the dragon chair under his butt, not to mention that a few months ago, he heard that a Taoist priest had offered elixirs to Zhao Qian.
"Your Majesty, there was news before that a man named Tang Mei had developed some elixir to prolong life. How could His Majesty suddenly appoint a prince?"
Another counselor also took over, "This is not just a sudden appointment of a prince. Zhao Jin has transformed from the son of the rebel King Liang into a prince."
"Do you think there is some inside story?" Zhao Xingzhi stared at the counselor who was speaking and asked in a deep voice.
The counselor named by Zhao Xingzhi was named Xue Jiang. He stood up and slightly cupped his hands towards Zhao Xingzhi, "Your Majesty, I have some ideas."
"Say." Zhao Xingzhi took back Gao An's hand and put it on his knees.
Xue Jiang was one of Zhao Xingzhi's most respected advisers.
"It was said that the remnants of King Liang were captured, so His Majesty knew the news." Xue Jiang sharply pointed out the impropriety, "But it has been a long time since King Liang rebelled, so why did he suddenly capture the remnants of King Liang in Bianzhou? ?”
"Furthermore, even if it is really the remnant of the traitor, in just half a month, His Majesty found out Zhao Jin's identity and immediately decided to make Zhao Jin the crown prince."
Xue Jiang shook his head, "I'm too anxious. The one who is consecrated is the position of prince. To put it mildly, the master of the East Palace will pose a threat to the dragon chair."
To put it bluntly, His Majesty is now old and frail, so he should be more wary of the Crown Prince. Why would he set up an obstacle for himself at this juncture?
Not having a crown prince, directly establishing a will and then hiding it, is what your Majesty should do.
"But there should be no doubt about Zhao Jin's identity." A counselor sitting in the middle on the left said calmly.
Xue Jiang glanced at the man, and the emotion in his eyes was a bit dissatisfied. He did not show it directly, but took a step forward and said firmly, "Your Majesty, I think that your Majesty should have known about Zhao Jin for a long time." identity."
Zhao Xingzhi suddenly put his hands on the armrests of the chair and almost couldn't help but stand up, "What should I do?"
"Obviously, that position should belong to me."
Zhao Xingyu is gone, and Zhao Xingzhi is deposed. Originally, he was the best choice for the throne, but now Zhao Jin comes out.
"Just do the opposite." The young man who had always been calm said slowly.
Among the counselors who had solemn faces, angry faces, or frowns in deep thought, the youngest and neatest-dressed young man said something treacherous.
"Confused!"
Before Zhao Xingzhi could respond, an old counselor couldn't hold back and scolded him angrily.
However, the young man just raised his eyelids, looked at him twice, and then slowly lowered his eyelids without making any further sound.
"My lord, you must not do it! Rebellion is a serious crime of beheading! Zhao Xingyu also tried to rebel before, but in the end he failed at all."
Zhao Xingzhi, who was already a little moved, was so troubled by the old counselor's words that he suppressed his thoughts a little bit.
He didn't see Zhao Xingyu's tragic situation with his own eyes, but it was witnessed by everyone.
His fingertips moved, and the hesitation in his heart was revealed on his face.
The young man sitting in the last seat suddenly raised his head, took Zhao Xingzhi's hesitation into consideration, rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and suddenly said:
"My lord, are you going to give up that position to someone else?"
Zhao Xingzhi suddenly glared at the young man.
Not only him, but all the counselors on the field looked at the calm-looking young man.
This matter is related to whether Zhao Xingzhi will be emperor or king in the future, or whether he will be killed by the new emperor.
By Zhao Xingzhi. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 497 Impossible
The future is related to their future, so this news made all the counselors feel unhappy and a little anxious.
But the young man looked as calm as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"Impossible!" Zhao Xingzhi said firmly.
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty's move is indeed very problematic, but as far as my subordinates know, Zhao Jin is the son of a traitor and was highly regarded by Zhao Xingzhi when he first came to Bianzhou."
"Your Majesty, the son of a rebel, even if the rebellion is suppressed, in the eyes of others, it was his father who did it, and Zhao Jin is capable."
The young man asked Zhao Xingzhi a question, which completely disturbed his mind.
"Even if Zhao Jin killed the traitors, His Majesty would not be without suspicion, but he still gave him a real power."
"Minister of the Ministry of War." When the young man read out these four words, he probably felt a little funny and couldn't help lowering his head and laughing.
When he raised his head again, he said something that suppressed the opposition of many counselors, "That is an official position that can directly take over and concurrently serve as Minister of War."
As if he was afraid that Zhao Xingzhi and others would not realize the importance of the problem, the young man added: "Besides, who didn't know that the previous Minister of War was about to retire?"
At this time, it is really unbelievable that Zhao Qian still treats Zhao Jin like this.
Zhao Xingzhi stood up almost immediately.
Xue Jiang on the side was a little reluctant, "Your Majesty, even so, it doesn't mean that His Majesty has been planning this matter."
"Yes, today is different from the past." The person who nodded was another counselor who did not agree with rebellion. He nodded as he spoke.
The young man raised his eyebrows, "How can we be different from the past?"
"If His Majesty was in poor health before, that would be fine. He was unable to maintain the government and needed someone to handle state affairs. But now that the Taoist priests have the elixir and canonize the prince, no matter how you look at it, there is something fishy about it."
The young man raised his hand and put it in front of his ear, clasped his palms together, and patted it, "This adult is more reasonable."
Not only was the other party not relieved, but he was even more anxious and nervous.
Every time the young man speaks like this, it does not mean that he has given in.
"But, your lords, can you think of those people in Bianzhou City?"
Everyone's expressions froze, but on the contrary, the young man raised his lips, "But now, none of them object."
Zhao Xingzhi gritted his teeth, "Ling An! Keep talking!"
"Your Majesty, they are not fools, and they have no objection now."
Zhao Xingzhi's expression became even darker, almost as good as Hei Tan.
