The best ring

What will happen then?

Zhao Lun really hadn't thought about this matter.

Before today, he had always aimed for the position of prince, or even the throne. He also felt that he had great hope of being canonized as prince and ascending the throne as emperor in the future.

Zhao Lun is very confident in this.

Therefore, he has never thought about what will happen to him after his imperial brother becomes emperor.

For a moment, Zhao Lun didn't know how to answer.

"Your Highness, the third prince, since ancient times, the royal family has had no family ties. As a member of the royal family, and also a prince, you should know this very well." Wen Huan continued: "Over the years, for the sake of the position of prince, you and your Those royal brothers have each worked hard, and everyone regards each other as competitors in their hearts. As time goes by, they will naturally become hostile to others, and your position as prince has been vacant for too long. , This has caused the resentment and hostility between you princes to have accumulated for a long time, and it has been difficult to resolve. Am I right? "

Is it right?

Of course it is right, Zhao Lun knows this very well.

In Zhao Lun's heart, he really didn't have much brotherly love for the other royal brothers. He only had wariness and hostility. For the sake of being the prince, he always regarded the other princes as himself. The enemy, after years of accumulation, this hostility has indeed become so strong in his heart that he cannot get rid of it.

Zhao Lun also believed that the other princes would definitely have the same thoughts and attitudes as him, and would also view him in this way, be hostile to him, and be wary of him.

"With this hostility, Your Highness the Third Prince, do you think the other princes will let you go after they ascend the throne and become emperor?" Wen Huan asked.

Wen Huan's words made Zhao Lun feel cold, and he said slightly nervously: "But we are brothers..."

"It is precisely because you are brothers that you are in danger." Wen Huan said: "If you were not a prince, you would not be in danger. In recent years, there have been a lot of overt and covert fights among you princes. Those of us lurking in Yanyang City Secret agents, we already know a lot about this, and there will be more we don’t know. After you have been fighting for so many years, just because you have ascended the throne and become emperor, you will suddenly relax and treat other princes like brothers and sisters. What happened?"

Is this possible?

This is impossible!

At least, in Zhao Lun's view, if he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he would not let go of his brothers. After all, he had been bullied by his brothers in recent years, and his fights with them had almost never stopped. Pass.

"Are you saying that after others ascend the throne and become emperor, they may... kill them?" Zhao Lun asked nervously.

"It's not possible, it's certain!" Wen Huan said in a low voice: "In these years, in order to compete for the position of prince, you have also secretly competed for the support of ministers. Once one of the princes ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will let such a prince have the support of ministers. Does the prince exist? Even if the prince and ministers promise that they will not cause trouble, he will not be completely reassured. "

Zhao Lun nodded subconsciously. Wen Huan's words made sense. From his point of view, he did not trust the other princes completely. He thought so, and he felt that the other princes must also think so.

"So, as long as you fail to become the prince or the emperor, you will be in danger. This danger does not come from your father, but from other princes." Wen Huan said: "The only way you can save your life at the moment is, It means ascending to the position of prince and then ascending to the throne, or... in one step, ascending to the throne directly! "

Zhao Lun's eyelids twitched. He understood the meaning of Wen Huan's words, but this time he did not jump up to reprimand Wen Huan like he did just now. Instead, he looked nervous and hesitant.

Seeing Zhao Lun's reaction, Wen Huan understood that his words had an effect.

In fact, what he said was deliberately aimed at Zhao Lun. If it were another prince, he would have said it differently, but the meaning was almost the same. Wen Huan only said this because of Zhao Lun's character. , In fact, in Wen Huan's heart, although Zhao Lun cannot be called a waste, his ability is really not good. He will even become a laughing stock because of what happened in the hall today. After other princes ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor, They really may not take him seriously. House arrest or just ignoring him are both possible.

But Zhao Lun became hesitant because of his own reasons and felt that he would die after other princes ascended the throne.

"Whether it is being canonized as a prince first, or directly ascending the throne and proclaiming the emperor, it is not easy." Yuan Ding next to him said: "Our Majesty acts very carefully. It is almost impossible to assassinate him. For example, if he is canonized as a Prince, it’s even more impossible.”

As Zhao Lun's staff, Yuan Ding is also the most trusted staff member. His fate is linked to Zhao Lun. If Zhao Lun lives, he will live. If Zhao Lun dies, he will die too!

Obviously, Yuan Ding does not want to die. Not only does he not want to die, he also wants to ascend to a higher position and become a highly respected minister. Therefore, in his heart, he also desperately hopes that Zhao Lun can be named the prince and return to the throne in the future. The one who ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor.

It can be said that for what happened in the hall today, not only Zhao Lun was angry and desperate, but Yuan Ding was also very angry and desperate. His anger and despair were no less than Zhao Lun's.

Therefore, when he guessed that Wen Huan's arrival might help Zhao Lun, Yuan Ding persuaded Zhao Lun to meet Wen Huan, and even stopped Zhao Lun from killing Wen Huan.

As long as there is a chance, he doesn't want to let it go.

However, he also knows the old emperor very well. Wen Huan's idea is unrealistic. Assassinations of the old emperor often happen, but no one has ever succeeded. Yuan Ding doesn't think they will be the exception.

"Yes." Zhao Lun also nodded and said, "There are many guards around my father. Not only are they all powerful, but they are also very loyal to my father. It is impossible to assassinate my father."

When Zhao Lun said these words, it means that he no longer rejects the idea of ​​assassinating his father. In the mood of hatred, in the face of the temptation of the position of the crown prince and the throne, Zhao Lun has abandoned the father-son relationship in his heart and has killed his father.

However, he also understands the difficulty of this matter. He doesn't want to make unnecessary sacrifices. If Wen Huan's idea is just to assassinate his father, then Zhao Lun will drive him out, so that he can live a few more days.

"I didn't say I wanted to assassinate your emperor. I know how difficult that is." Wen Huan smiled and said, "What I meant is that we can do something to stimulate your emperor, and then use the disease to destroy him!"
