Chapter 854 After Becoming Emperor 21
With the power that the Prime Minister now holds, he might not have had to do this, but he did it anyway in the end. It's hard to say whether he wanted to test something in this way.
Zhu Chu originally thought this tentatively, but unexpectedly she heard the Prime Minister laugh just as she helped him up.
"It seems that in the past two years, I have still underestimated Your Majesty."
After being polite, they sat down at the stone table. The prime minister didn't ask why Jing Ci came with him, so the young man just let it go and sat down next to Zhu Chu.
To talk about things sincerely, you must learn not to care so much. For the prime minister, the existence of Jing Ci is not important, as long as it does not affect what they want to talk about today.
"I can ask, why did you decide to help me?"
Yan Chu had been the puppet emperor for three years. When the prime minister and the regent faced each other, the other party obviously did not help her. Zhu Chu still hoped to find out the reason for his sudden change.
This will be more conducive to subsequent cooperation.
The prime minister seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect that this question was the first thing she cared about, but he still answered: "Then I will tell you directly. I don't want the regent to ascend the throne, and your majesty is the best candidate."
Now that the regent has not ascended to the throne, he has begun to dictate many things. It is conceivable that if one day he really succeeds, the prime minister's faction who once opposed him will obviously not have a good ending.
"The best candidate? In other words, do you still have any candidates?"
He was still in a relatively weak position, and the Prime Minister would not pay much attention when he spoke, so the loopholes in his words were quickly caught by Zhu Chu.
But it's not surprising. After all, with the regent so targeted, even if these people only think about themselves, they will definitely leave some back-ups so that they won't have no way out at the end.
The Prime Minister's gaze could even be called sincere: "Before this, if the regent takes the throne, we are prepared to rebel and push another prince to take the throne."
Jing Ling is a typical egoist and does not allow anyone to harm his own interests, not to mention someone who has been against him before. It is impossible for the Prime Minister and his party to watch him ascend to the throne.
But after seeing Zhu Chu's performance in the court, he changed his mind.
Zhu Chu had known for a long time that there must be other bloodlines surviving, but he didn't expect that the twists and turns would turn out to be with the Prime Minister.
She had a guess: "Is he the son of the imperial concubine?"
In my impression, the only people who enter the harem from the Prime Minister's family are the Prime Minister's legitimate daughters, who can be willingly supported by the Prime Minister, and they hardly think twice about it. After all, in the end, they are all members of the same family.
The Prime Minister nodded and admitted. He raised his head and looked straight at Zhu Chu with slightly cloudy but still clear eyes: "I can help your Majesty stabilize his power, but there is one condition. The prince must be Sheng'er."
Sheng'er was the prince who luckily survived under the protection of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister almost made the conditions clear, and he wanted to use Zhu Chu to help pave the way for them.
Zhu Chu smiled: "Okay."
During the development of the deviated world line, the Prime Minister's actions failed in the end, but now that he has joined in, many things have changed invisibly.
So far, this matter is considered a win-win situation.
The agreement was forced by the situation, but this is not a two-way use.
