Zhou Tianzheng mercilessly refuted Zhou Tianhong's words in front of everyone, and said to Zhou Chang'an: "Father, the Zhao family has been loyal to the imperial court for generations, if it were not for General Zhao's order, it would never have been possible for Fengnancheng and Fengming City to be so stable and prosperous in these years, and the people would not be able to live and work in peace and contentment." www.biquge.info General Zhao has made great military achievements and led the Pingnan army for so many years, and it is natural for the soldiers to obey and believe in him, and the people love and support him, and they also support the imperial court. As for what the seventh brother said on the secret fold, he, the great general of the Qin order, has no name and no military power. I'm afraid it's also because he's too young, not qualified enough, and inexperienced. ”

Zhou Changan didn't expect that Zhou Tianqi would sue Zhao Fengwu, let alone that Zhou Tianzheng would help the Zhao family speak, so he looked at Zhou Tianzheng with his eyebrows twisted inquiringly, but he didn't see any clues.

Zhou Tianzheng respectfully continued: "If General Zhao wants to rebel, he doesn't have to wait until today, and there is no need to retreat from the enemy and betray the country, so Erchen thinks that someone must have framed General Zhao, and that person absolutely cannot have a personal grudge with General Zhao, but has an intention to seal our country." ”

Although the words are not explicit, everyone can hear that the person who "has an attempt" in this statement must be alluding to Zhou Tianhong. Because only Zhou Tianhong is now closest to Nanyue, and he is about to marry Nanyue.

Liu Qingyuan immediately echoed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what the three princes said is extremely true. If there is any difference in the Pingnan army, the first thing that will not be protected is Fengnan City, then Fengming City, and then the entire Jiangnan. More than 20 years ago, General Hong Qiong of Nanyue had already attacked Fengming City, if it wasn't for General Feng Lao to go out in person, I am afraid that the Great Sealing State would have been fierce and unlucky. If the situation of more than 20 years ago reappears, I am afraid that there will be no veterans available in the imperial court. ”

Lin Zhihuai also rarely agreed with Liu Qingyuan, an old opponent, took a step forward, bowed to Zhou Chang'an and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also agrees with what the third prince and Prime Minister Liu Cheng said, it is not the first time that the emperor of Nanyue has rebelled, and when the emperor has dealt with the internal worries of our country, I am afraid that I will face external troubles again." What's more, who can guarantee that General Hong Qiong will not take this opportunity to invade our territory or defect to the battlefield?"

Zhou Changan couldn't help but nod slightly when he heard this, turned to look at Su Ziran, and asked slowly, "Su Aiqing, what do you think?"

Su Ziran shook his head lightly and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen also feels that you must not lure a wolf into the room. ”

Only then did a smile appear on Zhou Changan's face, he turned his head to look at Zhou Tianhong, who had not spoken, and said lightly: "Hong'er, do you have any better proposals?"

Although he was unanimously opposed, Zhou Tianhong remained silent, respectfully saluted Zhou Changan, and said: "Father, the third brother and the two prime ministers are reasonable, but the sons are not thoughtful, and there is no better proposal for the time being. ”

Zhou Changan waved his hand and didn't say anything more, letting Zhou Tianhong, Zhou Tianzheng, Liu Qingyuan and Lin Zhihuai all step back, leaving only Su Ziran to accompany him in the Qinzheng Palace.

After Zhou Tianhong and the others left, Zhou Changan frowned, paced back and forth in the Qinzheng Palace, and after a long time, he asked Su Ziran, who had been standing quietly on the side: "Ziran, you say, what does this secret fold of the Seven Princes mean?"

Su Ziran thought for a while, bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor's words, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince means to tell the emperor that General Zhao can't move, and the Zhao family can't move, no matter whether General Zhao and the Zhao family have different intentions now, they can't move them, and they can't move." ”

When Zhou Changan heard this, he couldn't help but glare at Su Ziran angrily, but he had to admit that what Su Ziran said was the truth. He took a deep breath and slowly asked, "So, Zi Ran thinks that the Seventh Prince and the Zhao family are not in the same boat?"

Su Ziran pondered for a long time, shook his head, and said: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen doesn't know, but Weichen thinks that neither the Seven Princes nor the Zhao family have the intention of rebelling, and the emperor doesn't need to worry too much." ”

Zhou Changan hooked his lips and smiled, stared at Su Ziran's eyes, and asked word by word: "Then according to Ziran's opinion, who has the intention of rebellion?"

Su Ziran stood bent down, silent, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhou Changan looked at Su Ziran inquiringly, and continued to ask: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Su Ziran exhaled heavily, shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that no one has the intention of rebelling, it's just that there are many princes, and they all want this position." ”

Zhou Changan snorted heavily, and said coldly: "Isn't it a rebellion to covet my throne?"

Su Ziran lowered his head and said cautiously: "Back to the emperor's words, Weichen thinks that several princes are very good, as long as the future prince is the first to focus on the country and the people, be wise and martial, have the world in mind, and be benevolent and filial piety, it is the luck of the society and the blessing of the people!"

Zhou Changan's face was a little pale, and he asked lightly: "Then according to Ziran's opinion, which prince is the most suitable?"

Su Ziran did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "Emperor Qiqi, several princes are still young, although they are all very good, but they still need to continue to figure out the way to be a king, and it will take a lot of time to grow into a king." Fortunately, the emperor is in the prime of life, and he is not in a hurry to choose the prince. The so-called see people's hearts over time, who is the most suitable, we will see in the future. ”

Zhou Changan nodded slightly, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, but a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and he said tentatively: "Ziran doesn't seem to be optimistic about the prince, I don't know why?"

Su Ziran was stunned, quickly shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty, Ziran has no such intention. ”

Zhou Changan chuckled lightly and said, "The prince is the prince, but Ziran asked me to re-select the prince, isn't this obvious?"

Su Ziran secretly complained, obviously Zhou Changan asked him who was the most suitable, but he just followed Zhou Changan's words, but at this moment, Zhou Changan said that it was what he meant. However, he couldn't refute Zhou Changan's words, so he could only continue to follow him. After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the best candidate at present, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince marries the three princesses of Nanyue in the future, and gets closer and closer to the Nanyue Kingdom, harming the interests of the Great Feudal State and endangering the Great Feudal Country, Weichen will think that this matter is inappropriate." ”

Zhou Changan listened to Su Ziran's explanation, and also felt that he was reasonable, so he couldn't help but nod and groaned.

In the past few months, Zhou Changan has known Su Ziran's whereabouts well, and knows that Su Ziran often participates in poetry meetings held by Zhou Tianzheng, and is closer to Zhou Tianzheng. Therefore, seeing that he agreed with Zhou Tianzheng's opinion today, Zhou Changan was not surprised.
