The best ring

"Your Majesty, Lord Hou is back!"

After confirming that Hou Zhong was not lying, the general guarding the palace gate immediately turned around and headed towards the palace to personally report to Zhao Lun.

This was an opportunity to make merit, how could he give it to others?

He trotted all the way and soon arrived at the palace where Zhao Lun was. After reporting, he successfully met Zhao Lun.

At this time, Zhao Lun was still furious. The questioning of the clansmen, the fact that Hou Yi had been missing, and Guan Zhuo's indifference made him quite annoyed. He wanted to order all these people to be killed, but the remaining rationality told him that doing so would not benefit him at all, but would instead arouse greater public resentment and official anger.

Therefore, Zhao Lun had to suppress his anger, but doing so made him sulky. He didn't want to see anyone. If the person who came was not the general guarding the palace gate and said that he had something important to report, he would not even see the other party.

In Zhao Lun's mind, the generals who were responsible for guarding the palace gate and the city gate were very important, especially when the city was in an uproar because of the assassination of the royal family members, the chief generals in these two positions were naturally more important.

Therefore, when he heard that one of them wanted to see him, he also deliberately asked the other party to come to see the emperor.

When Zhao Lun heard the words of this general, he was stunned at first, and then said happily: "Is Hou Yi here? Let him roll in quickly!"

Obviously, Zhao Lun misunderstood, and he thought that the "Hou Lord" in the other party's mouth was Hou Yi.

Now the person Zhao Lun wanted to see most was Hou Yi!

He needed Hou Yi to change his words and put all the responsibilities on Guan Zhuo, saying that it was Guan Zhuo's torture and forced confession that made him frame himself, and only in this way could he wash away the charges on himself.

This was what Zhao Lun thought in his mind. As for whether others would accept this statement, that was another matter. In short, as long as Hou Yi changed his words, he would have an explanation to the outside world, and he would not be as passive as he is now.

Therefore, he was naturally very happy to hear that Hou Yi was coming.

But this happiness did not affect his resentment towards Hou Yi. If it were not for Hou Yi's indecision, he would not be in such a passive position now. Therefore, he had already thought about it. He would let Hou Yi change his words first, and then execute Hou Yi after the storm had passed. People like Hou Yi who could betray him once might betray him a second time. Zhao Lun no longer had any trust in Hou Yi.

However, the kneeling general did not move, but said: "Your Majesty, it's not Lord Hou Yi, it's Lord Hou Zhong, he is back."

"Hou Zhong?" Zhao Lun's smile froze on his face, and he said in a daze: "What is he doing here? No!" New Biquge

Knowing that it was not Hou Yi who came, Zhao Lun was instantly disappointed, and naturally he had no mood to meet Hou Zhong.

Zhao Lun did not have a good impression of Hou Zhong. This Hou Zhong was not a member of his camp before, and Hou Zhong did not show up when he ascended the throne.

There was news before that the person who assassinated Zhao Xuan in the southern neighboring city was Hou Zhong. Zhao Lun had heard about this news, but he was not very interested in it because Hou Zhong did not succeed, and Hou Zhong did not take his order to assassinate Zhao Xuan.

Because of this, Zhao Lun had no interest in meeting Hou Zhong. In his opinion, Hou Zhong wanted to meet him now, most likely to curry favor with him. People like Hou Zhong, Zhao Lun could also cultivate, and there was no need to accept Hou Zhong's surrender. Compared with Hou Zhong, it was obvious that the people he cultivated were more trustworthy.

Unless Hou Zhong had some special value, Zhao Lun was not prepared to accept Hou Zhong.

Even, he didn't want to meet him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Hou mentioned someone."

"Who?" Zhao Lun asked casually: "He didn't see anyone. Does he think that if he finds someone to intercede, I will accept him? Dream on!"

"Your Majesty, Lord Hou mentioned your brother, the eldest son of the late emperor!"

Zhao Lun's originally irritable expression suddenly changed. He looked at the general with a shocked face and asked: "Who? Who do you think he mentioned?"

"Zhao Xuan!" The general said: "He said he knew the whereabouts of Zhao Xuan."

"Where? Where is Zhao Xuan!" Zhao Lun asked anxiously.

Hou Zhong guessed correctly. Zhao Lun really valued Zhao Xuan.

Why did Zhao Lun take such a big risk and let Hou Yi assassinate the royal family members?

Wasn't it to consolidate his throne and let all those who could threaten his throne leave this world.

And Zhao Xuan is also a person who can threaten his throne, and even more threatening than others.

Because Zhao Xuan is the eldest son of the late emperor!

With this status, Zhao Xuan is qualified to compete for the throne, and it is easy to get the support of ministers, especially now that he is in trouble. If Zhao Xuan appears in the imperial capital openly, there will definitely be some people with bad intentions supporting Zhao Xuan, which is a very dangerous thing for Zhao Lun.

He knows clearly how he got the throne, and he will never allow others to take the throne from him in a similar way.

"Your Majesty, Lord Hou didn't say anything, he just said he wanted to see you." The general said.

"Then why are you still standing there? Bring him to see me immediately!" Zhao Lun said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the general left, Zhao Lun waited anxiously.

Originally, after knowing about Nanlin City, Zhao Lun thought that Zhao Xuan would probably die in Nanlin City. After all, Duan Wanming was dead, and Nanlin City was now occupied by the rebels. Zhao Xuan did not bring many people with him when he left the palace before. In this case, Zhao Xuan was probably in danger.

But now it seems that the facts do not seem to be the case. Hou Chong can say this, so Zhao Xuan is probably not dead, and it is very likely that he is ready to return to the imperial capital!

This is obviously not good news for Zhao Lun.

However, it is not too bad. After all, Hou Chong came and took the initiative to mention Zhao Xuan. Most likely, he really knew where Zhao Xuan was. The reason why he mentioned Zhao Xuan to himself should be to take this opportunity to seek credit and let him reward him with an official position.

Zhao Lun did not object to this. He did not want to see Hou Chong before because Hou Chong had no value in his eyes. Without Hou Chong, he could completely cultivate people of the same status.

But now it is different. If Hou Zhong can really bring him news about Zhao Xuan, or even help him catch Zhao Xuan, then he has made a great contribution. In this case, it is not impossible for me to reward him with an official position.

After all, Hou Zhong took the initiative to come to him, which also shows that Hou Zhong intends to join him. In addition, Hou Zhong's ability is not bad, so it is not impossible for me to accept him.
