"If it succeeds, the three clans will continue to be rich and prosperous for another hundred years. If they fail, it will be nothing more than beheading of the whole clan. But over the years, they have enjoyed what they should have enjoyed, and they have enough money."
Zhao Xuanji's expression gradually turned ferocious. He stared at the two of them coldly and said, "The most important thing is that if we don't do anything, the result will be even worse. This means that for us, this huge gamble will either win completely or it will be over."
The destined outcome will not change!"
Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi are not stupid, they can understand these words.
Even without Zhao Xuanji explaining it, they knew that this was the path they had to take.
The Prince of the East Palace is too powerful and has risen too fast. He is destined not to be a puppet willing to be controlled by the cabinet.
After the power was seized by the Prince of the East Palace, liquidation was only a matter of time.
As those who controlled the political interests of the past ten years or so, they will be the first to be liquidated.
It's as if you are already poisoned and there is a pill in front of you. If you take it, you may die half of the time, but you will recover half of the time. If you don't take it, you will die sooner or later.
Everyone knows how to choose.
"Mr. Ge, we understand what to do."
Seeing Fu Yuzhi's attitude, Zhao Xuanji nodded and said with a slightly calmer expression: "Go back and make preparations earlier. I'm afraid the days to come will not be easy."
Fu Yuzhi and Zhang Biwu looked at each other and stood up to leave.
Fu Yuzhi left first, followed by Zhang Biwu.
After Fu Yuzhi said goodbye and left, Zhao Xuanji stopped Zhang Biwu.
"Brother Zhang, I have a lot of important things to do next, and I don't have much time to do. There is one thing I hope you can help me with, Brother Zhang."
Zhang Biwu immediately said: "Just give me your orders, Mr. Ge."
"Keep an eye on Fu Yuzhi."
Zhao Xuanji's expressionless words made Zhang Biwu extremely shocked.
"What Mr. Ge means is that he may not be of the same mind as us? But what good will it do to him? And he made it clear just now..."
Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "The biggest difference between him and us is that he is already old and has long thought about retiring. He does not have many children and even fewer relatives, and they have all settled down. In other words, he has already settled down.
We have lost our ambitions, but what we have to do next is to have the determination to burn the boat, but he doesn't have that."
Zhang Biwu sighed softly and said: "We have been colleagues for so many years and have always advanced and retreated together. Now that Wang Tenghuan is dead, I hope Brother Fu will not make mistakes. I will handle this matter well."
Zhao Xuanji nodded, closed his eyes slightly and said, "Thank you."
After bowing, Zhang Biwu exited the study and left Zhao Mansion.
The study was quiet for a while, and Zhao Xuanji closed his eyes to rest.
Suddenly, a voice came from the dark study room.
There was no emotion in the voice, and the report was numb and mechanical: "All the guards in the palace were rotated, and the chief guard on duty at the Palace of Supreme Harmony was killed. And, earlier, the prince went to Fengxi Palace and retreated.
It took half an hour for everyone to come out, and then all the guards, maids and eunuchs of Fengxi Palace were replaced."
"In addition, the prince seems to have acted inappropriately toward the queen while in Fengxi Palace."
These words made Zhao Xuanji, who had not reacted at all to all the previous content, suddenly widen his eyes and angrily shouted: "What did that bastard do to Qinglan!?"
