The best ring

"What? What did you say?"

When the servant of the Hou Mansion was worried about his own safety, Hou Zhong was directly shocked by the other party's words.

Zhao Lun instructed Hou Yi to assassinate members of the royal family? !

What is going on?

Is Zhao Lun crazy? He just ascended the throne and killed his own people. What was he thinking?

The servant of the Hou Mansion was shocked by Hou Zhong's reaction.

"Lord Hou, don't you know about this?"

Hou Zhong shook his head.

"This matter has now spread in the imperial capital. I believe it will spread throughout the Yanfeng Kingdom in a short time." The servant said: "Now everyone in the imperial capital is discussing this matter."

Although Yanyang City was sealed by Zhao Lun, it is not necessary to pass through the city gate to pass on the message. Air messengers are the fastest way to pass the message. Therefore, even if the gate of Yanyang City is not open, this matter should spread soon.

Seeing that Hou Zhong really didn't seem to know about this matter, the servant briefly told Hou Zhong again.

After Hou Zhong heard this, his previous shock dissipated a lot, and he was replaced by fear of Zhao Lun.

This Zhao Lun is too cruel!

In order to ensure the stability of his throne, he actually attacked his own people, and he was so vicious that he killed so many people. All this was because of the throne!

At the same time, Hou Zhong could also imagine how much attention Zhao Lun would pay if Zhao Xuan appeared. Zhao Lun could even kill those royal family members who were not princes. Could he turn a blind eye to Zhao Xuan?

Obviously impossible!

Although Zhao Lun denied this matter, anyone who was not a fool knew that what Hou Yi said must be true, and the real culprit behind this matter must be Zhao Lun.

Hou Zhong also knew how Zhao Lun came to power. No wonder Zhao Lun ascended the throne so suddenly, no wonder so many ministers did not come back that night after entering the palace, and no wonder Yuan Ji and others have not come back yet.

At this time, Hou Zhong had understood everything!

However, this also made it more difficult for Hou Zhong to make a decision.

The two people who could have discussed things with each other were now nowhere to be seen. As for Zhao Lun, his behavior seemed a little crazy. Should he "cooperate" with him?

"Given Zhao Lun's attitude towards the royal family, if I can hand over Zhao Xuan, I'm afraid he will be very happy." Hou Zhong pondered in his heart: "Now that he has ascended the throne and everything is settled, even if Zhao Xuan comes back, it will not have any impact on the overall situation. I want to keep my position, so I can only gain his trust."

Like many people, Hou Zhong also believes that Zhao Lun has ascended the throne and it is not easy to drive him down, especially after Zhao Lun has killed many royal family members who are eligible to inherit the throne.

Although Zhao Lun's reputation has been damaged, it seems that it has no effect on the throne.

As for Zhao Xuan, he is naturally eligible to inherit the throne, but in this situation, there may not be many people supporting him. Although Zhao Xuan's actions are not as excessive as Zhao Lun, Zhao Xuan is also suspected of assassinating the previous emperor. Therefore, in terms of reputation, Zhao Xuan does not actually have any advantage.

As for strength, now the imperial capital and the palace are under the control of Zhao Lun. It is undoubtedly very difficult for Zhao Xuan to seize the throne. The officials in the city may not risk their lives to support him, especially after seeing Zhao Lun's cruel methods.

Zhao Lun can kill even his own people without blinking an eye, so how can he care about the lives of ordinary officials?

Therefore, there will not be many people who support Zhao Xuan, and Hou Zhong himself does not think that supporting Zhao Xuan is a wise decision, and he is also unwilling to take this risk.

In this case, it is natural that surrendering to Zhao Lun is the only choice.

Now that Yuan Ji and Hou Yi have been in trouble one after another, Hou Zhong has no allies. If he can no longer surrender to Zhao Lun, I am afraid that his end will not be very good.

What's more, Hou Zhong also saw an opportunity from the current situation!

Zhou Yanfeng, the Minister of Revenue, is dead!

Li Yang, the Minister of War, is dead!

Yuan Ji, the Minister of Personnel, is not trusted by Zhao Lun and is under house arrest!

Hou Yi, the Minister of Works, betrayed Zhao Lun and must be on Zhao Lun's revenge list!

Guan Zhuo, the Minister of Justice, openly tried the murder of a royal family member, which caused a lot of trouble for Zhao Lun. As a result, he would certainly not be trusted and reused by Zhao Lun.

Looking at it this way, five of the six ministers have been in trouble. Does he have a chance to snoop on those five positions?

Thinking of this, Hou Zhong's heart became eager.

Although Hou Zhong's previous status was not low, his identity was destined to be shady and would be cursed and despised by everyone. How could it be as glorious as a minister?

Therefore, if he could become a minister, it would be a progress for him and what he dreamed of.

"It shouldn't be too much for me to use the life of a prince to exchange for the identity of a minister." Hou Zhong thought to himself.

Thinking of this in his heart, Hou Zhong had made a decision.

He turned around and left the Hou Mansion and went straight to the palace.

He wanted to take a gamble. He wanted to bet that Zhao Lun attached great importance to Zhao Xuan and was willing to pay a huge price to take Zhao Xuan's life!

Arriving at the gate of the palace, he saw that the security was tight. As he approached, many eyes focused on him.

"Who is it?!"

"It's me, Hou Zhong!"

Hou Zhong thought that he had some reputation in the palace. Although his identity was not public, many people knew him.

And now, the man guarding the palace gate obviously knew Hou Zhong, which saved Hou Zhong a lot of trouble.

"Mr. Hou, what are you doing in the palace? Did His Majesty summon you?" the general asked.

"No." Hou Zhong said, "I came to the palace to see His Majesty."

"Since His Majesty didn't ask you to come, please go back. His Majesty said that he won't see anyone." The general replied.

Zhao Lun was annoyed by the group of royal family members. Now he really didn't want to see anyone.

Of course, Hou Yi was an exception, but although the man in front of him was also Mr. Hou, he was Hou Zhong, not Hou Yi, so the general guarding the palace gate would naturally not let him in.

After being turned away, Hou Zhong was not annoyed. He said, "Please inform him that I have news about His Royal Highness the First Prince."

When he said this, Hou Zhong whispered to the general, and while speaking, he was also secretly observing the general's face.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the general's face changed.

"Are you serious?"

As the commander in charge of guarding the palace gate, he was naturally trusted by Zhao Lun. Therefore, he was quite clear about Zhao Lun's affairs and knew that Zhao Lun was assassinating people in the royal family who were qualified to inherit the throne. BIqupai.c0m

And Zhao Xuan was obviously such a person!

"Really!"
