Chapter 2641 If it falls in the hands of Duke Zhao
Facing the frightened eyes of those two people, Wang Kui raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"You gentlemen, please don't forget that right here in Luoyang City, there is a legitimate son of the Emperor who is qualified to become the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
"..." Zheng Yuanshou stared blankly at Wang Kui, blinking his eyes rapidly. He suddenly felt that the bold idea of the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan was not impossible to realize.
"This, how is this possible? Although King Li Zhi of Jin is the legitimate son, the prince and grandson are still there. It's not right if their names are not legitimate."
"Have you forgotten the allusions from the pre-Qin period? Qin Shi Huang ordered his son Fu Su to accompany the army outside.
Qin Shihuang, on the other hand, was touring the country and did not want to die of illness on the way, so he ordered his son to support Su in mourning and ascend the throne."
"But Zhao Gao, the commander of Zhongche Mansion, united with Prime Minister Li Si, supported Hu Hai, the eighteenth son of the First Emperor, to ascend the throne, and forced Fusu to commit suicide..."
"..." A group of talkative people from aristocratic families who pride themselves on being noble and have positive family reputations all look extremely ugly at this moment.
It's like someone smeared a lot of dog shit on your face.
What kind of allusion is this? Well, there is no problem in using Li Shimin to compare Qin Shihuang, Prince Li Chengqian to Prince Fusu, and Jin King Li Zhi to Hu Hai.
But the question is, who is Li Si? Who is Zhao Gao? These two guys are both notorious villains, okay?
"Gentlemen, our family is from a famous family, and we control nearly half of the officials in the world. If we raise our arms and raise our voices, we will definitely be able to influence the people of the world."
"And it's not just us, but also His Majesty's closest comrade-in-arms, the leader of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Duke Zhao, who has great prestige in the court."
"If he can stand up and support King Jin, and we can support him together, gentlemen..."
"What can he do to the prince Li Chengqian who has no high hopes?"
"Everyone, please think about it carefully. Jin Wang Li Zhi has a soft character, and his concubine comes from a famous family."
"It's just convenient for us to control. What's more, Changsun's official department and Prince Li Chengqian have always been at odds.
He also wants the Changsun family to be blessed with lasting blessings, and he definitely doesn’t want Li Chengqian to ascend the throne as emperor..."
"Brother Rong Yu, please wait for a moment. Brother Rong Yu, take your time... You, your idea is a bit too bold."

Time passed bit by bit, and the Zheng family's servants who were guarding the shore at the end of the corridor were all curious about what happened today.
These talkative people from aristocratic families would only meet here at most in the past.
After discussing some secret matters, they will start talking, laughing, drinking and having fun.
But today, these gentlemen have been staying in the waterside pavilion for almost two hours.
It's really surprising that he is still muttering there in a seemingly endless manner.
In the end, the group of old men finally felt exhausted. Zheng Yuanshou leaned on the couch half-paralysed, and finally made a final decision.
"If we really want to do this, unless...unless it is certain that Li Erlang will die soon."
"Otherwise, what awaits me will be a disaster like the collapse of heaven and earth..."
"That Supreme Emperor..."
"The Supreme Emperor is old and has not been involved in political affairs for many years. If his own son dies in front of his eyes, and the white-haired man gives away the black-haired man, what can he do under such a heavy blow?"
"That's true. Shouldn't we make arrangements first to prevent us from being caught off guard?"
"This is natural. Gentlemen, since everyone thinks it is feasible, then we should all take action and use all means..."

Changsun Wuji stared blankly at the letter in his hand. This letter came from his good friend Chu Suiliang and his confidants who traveled day and night to send it to Luoyang.
Changsun Wuji was completely distracted for a long time, and then he slowly came back to his senses.
The unusual events inside and outside Jinyang Palace described in Chu Suiliang's letters made Changsun Wuji feel extremely complicated at the moment.
He knew very well that Li Shimin was a king with a very strong character and a very good face. If he hadn't really been unable to hold on,
He will definitely control the news, and will also force his appearance to make his ministers think that he is still strong and healthy.
But now, the only people who have seen him are those military ministers with heavy troops. This illustrates a problem. His situation is probably not very optimistic.
The messenger sat on his knees in the study. Changsun Wuji did not speak. He could only stay there, neither daring to ask nor daring to move.
"You go back first and tell Minister Chu not to do anything unnecessary and just keep an eye on Jinyang Palace.
If there is any abnormality, you must send someone to inform me as soon as possible, do you understand?"
"The villain understands and will definitely report back to my master without missing a beat."
Seeing the messenger leave the study under the guidance of the steward, Changsun Wuji raised his hand and gently stroked the Sichuan pattern on his brow that had just been furrowed.
At this time, the steward who had just sent the messenger away hurried back to report that Zheng Yuanshou and Wang Kui had come to visit again.
Changsun Wuji, who hesitated for a long time, let out a long sigh.
"If you don't see me, just say that I'm not feeling well...that's all. Let's meet them first to see what they want to say."
#####
When the host and guest met and sat down, Wang Kui couldn't wait to speak.
"I and Brother Yuan Shou took the liberty of visiting Mr. Zhao today because a major event happened in Jinyang.
The old man was very worried, and after discussing with Brother Yuanshou, he thought it would be better to report it to Duke Zhao."
Changsun Wuji raised his long eyebrows slightly, stroked his long beard and smiled calmly.
"Mr. Wang, please make it clear that I also want to hear what the big deal is."
"The old man received a letter from Jinyang, saying that some weird things happened in Jinyang Palace, the palace where His Majesty lives recently..."
"If it's about Jinyang Palace, I know a little bit about it, so there's no need for you two to talk anymore."
Changsun Wuji looked at these two spokespersons and talkers of aristocratic families, and said with a half-smile.
"This..." Wang Kui couldn't help but froze when he saw Changsun Wuji's reaction. This time, he was left speechless.
"I wonder if Mr. Zhao is interested in another matter?" Zheng Yuanshou, who was on the side, stroked his long beard that reached his belly and suddenly said this.
"What's the matter?" Changsun Wuji's eyes moved to Zheng Yuanshou, and he saw a strange smile on Zheng Yuanshou's face.
"The Duke of Yun State, Zhang Liang, likes to raise sorcerers. I think Duke Zhao also knows this, but I wonder if Duke Zhao knows that the Duke of Yun State raises his adopted son privately..."
"Hundreds of adopted sons, Mr. Zheng, this is a very big deal, are you sure?..." Changsun Wuji's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Zheng Yuanshou in shock.
"Mr. Zhao, if I dare to speak out, I will guarantee it. He is Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang is unknown (Zhang Liang's name is unknown), and he is indeed a man of extraordinary ambitions."
"This handle, in my hands, is just a handle, but if it falls into the hands of Mr. Zhao..."
Changsun Wuji's breathing suddenly became heavy, his eyes flickered for a long time, and then he asked in a hoarse voice.
