The best ring

While Wu Fan, Zhao Qi and others were on their way, the city of Yanyang in Yanfeng Kingdom was full of mystery.

The residence of the third prince Zhao Lun was in a panic, and the servants had a look of fear on their faces.

"bump!"

"bump!"

"bump!"

The sounds of messy things came from the study of the third prince Zhao Lun. The servants passing by subconsciously held their breath and slowed down their steps, not daring to make the slightest movement, lest they encounter unreasonable disasters.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?!"

Third Prince Zhao Lun roared while smashing things.

Yesterday, his father, the old emperor of the Yanfeng Kingdom, issued an imperial edict to let the eldest prince Zhao Xuan act as the emperor. Although Zhao Xuan's identity as the prince was not made clear, everyone can smell something from this arrangement. A different meaning.

In the matter of appointing the prince, the eldest prince Zhao Xuan was undoubtedly ahead of the other princes. Otherwise, the old emperor would not have appointed Zhao Xuan to preside over the government.

At this juncture, the old emperor appointed the eldest prince to take charge of the government, which had to make everyone think too much. The third prince had always had thoughts about the throne, so naturally he could not accept this fact.

"Your Highness, calm down!" Yuan Ding said: "Now the matter is a foregone conclusion, and it will be useless no matter how angry Your Highness is."

"You still have the nerve to say that?!" Zhao Lun glared at Yuan Ding: "As my chief staff member, you don't have a single useful suggestion, so I am defeated at your hands!"

Hearing Zhao Lun's words, a flash of shame and anger flashed across Yuan Ding's face.

As the chief staff of the third prince, his responsibility is indeed to help the third prince. Now, the old emperor appoints the eldest prince to handle the government affairs. Speaking of which, it is indeed his fault.

However, Yuan Ding also had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.

The third prince Zhao Lun has always been stubborn and will not listen to his opinions at all. Only recently has he gotten a little better. This may also be related to the fact that the third prince realized that his many years of hard work have not yielded results.

But is it too late to follow his advice now?

Moreover, the person the third prince trusted most recently was Wen Huan from Shuiyue Kingdom, not him. Now that he saw that something was impossible to do, he was actually blamed, which was really unbearable for him.

However, the third prince was a prince after all. Even though Yuan Ding had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, he did not dare to show it and still maintained a respectful look on his face.

"It is the minor minister's fault that Your Highness calmed down." Yuan Ding said, "However, the most urgent task is not to find someone to take responsibility, but to think of a countermeasure. Otherwise, the position of the prince, or even the throne, will become a big problem." The prince's treasure."

"You don't need to say this?" Zhao Lun said angrily: "Now my father has asked the eldest brother to handle the government affairs. His intention is already obvious. What else do you want from me?"

"Your Highness, as long as His Majesty has not clearly decreed the appointment of the eldest prince as the crown prince, then Your Highness still has a chance." Yuan Ding said.

"Is there a chance? What chance is there?" Zhao Lun asked angrily: "What do you think the ministers in the court will think of such an arrangement made by the emperor? What do you think the eldest brother will think? How can I have a chance?"

Don’t blame Zhao Lun for being frustrated.

The old emperor, his father, has always handled political affairs personally, but now, he has actually handed over this power to the eldest prince Zhao Xuan. This is an unprecedented first time. Although other than that, the old emperor has There are no other arrangements, but even so, it is enough for others to think about.

What's more, the eldest prince Zhao Xuan has always been the only prince who can live in the palace. This alone is enough to make other princes envious.

"Your Highness, the matter has not reached the final moment, you cannot give up." Yuan Ding said.

"I don't want to give up, but I don't see any hope!" Zhao Lun shouted.

Zhao Lun has always had thoughts about the position of prince and the throne. Of course he doesn't want to give up. However, what is happening now makes him have to think more. It's not that he doesn't want to give up, but the old emperor's arrangements are He had to give up.

"Your Highness, there is still hope." Yuan Ding persuaded: "As long as His Majesty has not issued an edict, there is hope. It doesn't matter how the eldest prince handles government affairs. If Your Majesty really wants him to take over the throne, then why not ennoble him by the way? Where is he the prince?"

Zhao Lun was slightly startled when he heard Yuan Ding's words.

Yes, since Zhao Xuan has been asked to handle the government affairs, he can be canonized as the prince. In this way, it will be justified.

However, the old emperor did not do this. He only asked Zhao Xuan to handle the government affairs, but did not make him the prince. This would inevitably make others think too much.

"Where is Wen Huan?" The third prince suddenly thought of Wen Huan.

The previous ambush of the Eighth Prince was also advocated by Wen Huan, but since then, Wen Huan seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.

"Your Highness, I sent people to look for it but couldn't find it." Yuan Ding said: "After all, Wen Huan is from the Shuiyue Kingdom. What he considers must be the interests of the Shuiyue Kingdom first. Therefore, finding or It doesn’t matter if you can’t find him.”

"It was his bad idea that made me attack Lao Ba. This bastard has disappeared and dared not come out now!" Zhao Lun said.

Because of the attack on the eighth prince, the old emperor had opinions and even resentments against all the princes involved in the matter. However, the eldest prince and the fifth prince were not involved in this matter. Now, the eldest prince has been arranged to deal with it. In Zhao Lun's opinion, all this was due to Wen Huan's arrangements.

However, just when Zhao Lun was angry about Wen Huan's arrangement, a servant came to report that Wen Huan asked for an audience again.

"What? He dares to come? He still has the face to come?!" Zhao Lun roared angrily after hearing the servant's report.

"Your Highness, why don't you let him in and see what he has to say." Yuan Ding said.

"Okay! I want to see what he has to say!" Zhao Lun said.

Not long after, Wen Huan walked in under the guidance of the servant. Wen Huan's face was still calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Wen Huan, you still have the face to come to see me?" Zhao Lun glared at Wen Huan.

"Your Highness the Third Prince, why can't I come to see you?" Wen Huan said lightly.

"You still have the nerve to say that?" Zhao Lun became even angrier after hearing Wen Huan's unhurried words: "If it weren't for your advice, the boss wouldn't have the chance to handle state affairs now. Your arrangement has completely deprived me of the possibility of becoming the crown prince!"

Facing Zhao Lun's rebuke, Wen Huan said unhurriedly: "Excuse me, Your Highness the Third Prince, did your father personally issue an order to deprive you of the possibility of becoming the crown prince?"

Zhao Lun was slightly stunned and said subconsciously: "No."
