It should be said that Zhao Xu's opportunity to announce Empress Meng's pregnancy is really good. If it weren't for Zhao Ji's accident, the ministers' attention would not be on some trivial matters, and it would be difficult for Zhao Xu to get rid of the entanglement of the officials so easily.

In the past, the officials would come out and ask Your Majesty how you can go out in a small way, and how can Your Majesty be lucky with a woman outside the palace without permission? He also had to come up with a lot of truths to help Zhao Xu understand and correct his mistakes. Zhao Xu is imperious, but in the face of those officials, he still has some headaches. These people are not very good at reprimanding casually, so don't say derogatory. Although Zhao Xu also attacked the officials, he still understood the truth that it was better not to do it if he could.

Now, Zhao Ji's crime just provided an excellent opportunity for the queen's pregnancy news. Zhao Xu seized this opportunity, and avoided the possible indiscriminate bombardment of the officials, it should be said that he also knows how to act with a camera.

As for Zhao Ji, with the announcement of Zhao Xu's news, his fate was doomed. He could live this life without worry, but he was destined to live in melancholy and pain. Of course, if it is a few years, the new emperor is merciful, maybe he will give him a false title such as the envoy of the festival, the opening ceremony and the three divisions, but that will not change Zhao Ji's tragic life.

No one cares about Zhao Ji's fate, what everyone cares about is the child in Queen Meng's womb. Although King Jian and King Duan, who are now the most likely heirs, have fallen, this child may not be able to ascend to the throne. In the court, the probability of children dying is very high, and the reason why Zhao Xu was able to ascend the throne was because four of his five elder brothers died, and the other one was highly myopic, so it was his turn to be the sixth child. And Zhao Xu's first son was born with a defect, and a few days ago, not long after Empress Liu was deposed, he finally ended his short life.

Besides, even if this child can grow up safely, it is entirely possible that it is a woman. If this is the case, with Zhao Xu's current body and bones, it is impossible to create a prince again, both physically and temporally.

In other words, once these possibilities mentioned above become a reality, the remaining imperial brother Yan Wang Zhao Yu will also become an inevitable candidate.

For many ministers, this time it was even more difficult than the previous one. At that time, it was Duan Wang Zhao Ji and Jian Wang Zhao who seemed to be fighting, and in everyone's minds, they could estimate which one was more likely, but this time, it was Yan Wang Zhao Yu and a possible nephew who were fighting. It can also be said that King Yan is fighting with fate, this opportunity should be half to half of the ministers in the court are the pillars of the country, high and powerful, and no one should risk being swept out of the court for half the chance. Therefore, this time, everyone tacitly chose not to rely on either side, not to stand on either side, and to wait for the arrangement of fate.

And some people don't have such troubles at all. They don't have to worry about the next emperor at all. For example, Tong Guan.

Tong Guan is a eunuch, if Empress Meng really gave birth to a little prince, he naturally has the skill of being a dragon, and it is indispensable to be reused. But even if King Yan succeeds to the throne, he is an old man in the palace, so he has to use it. Tong Guan is very confident in his ability to deal with others, and he believes that as long as King Yan gives him a chance, he will definitely be able to show his best side, so that King Yan will be impressed from then on.

Therefore, although Tong Guan prefers that the little prince can ascend the throne, he will never mind King Yan ascending the throne. He's in a port of flattery at both ends. After all, King Yan is different from King Jian and King Duan in front. They were popular candidates from the beginning, and the people who showed them favor were like crucians crossing the river, and there were countless people, so naturally they didn't care about him. But King Yan is an unpopular candidate, and no one has been loyal to him so far, and Tong Guan naturally has the best chance to take the lead. Serving the emperor is the duty of their eunuchs.

Tomorrow, it will be Tong Guan's turn to rest, he has not rested for a long time, it is difficult to go out of the palace to live, and Tong Guan's mood has improved. These days, the atmosphere in the palace is very tense, and there are too many things. Zhao Ji's matter will not mention the impact on Zhao Jing and Zhao Xu, but it will have a greater impact on the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager Xiang was already ill, and her depression had reached the point where it was difficult to return, and she was eager to see the king of Shangduan. Unexpectedly, what she heard was such a news.

As soon as she heard the news, she vomited blood on the spot, and soon became angry, according to Tong Guan's estimate, the Queen Mother was only in the past few days. In other words, tomorrow will be the only time he will rest for a long time, once the Queen Mother dies, many ceremonies will have to be carried out, and Zhao Xu will not be able to be a capable person like him.

A person is reused, on the whole, it is a good thing, but sometimes it can also become a bad thing, Tong Guan thought a little shyly.

At this moment, a black figure suddenly floated out of the stab.

Tong Guan's eyes froze. For many days, the man in black didn't come to the door, and he almost forgot that he existed. Since Ouyang Shu's instructions, Tong Guan has been a little calmer when facing this man in black, and he has always been able to deal with it quite easily, and there has been no mistake. But today, he smelled something unusual.

Tong Guan didn't know how to call the man in black, didn't know his age, didn't know his identity, and didn't even know what he looked like, so he used the general character you.

The man in black stood motionless, his eyes shining with a fierce light.

Tong Guan suddenly felt that something was wrong. In the past, the eyes of this man in black were also fierce, but they were by no means as fierce as this time. This time, there seemed to be a power in his eyes that could steam people, Tong Guan just touched his eyes, and immediately his whole body was hot and his scalp was numb. This feeling is really strange, when ordinary people are afraid, they always feel cold on their bodies, but just by looking at the man in black, his whole body begins to sweat.

After a long time, the black-clothed man said coldly: If you come, if you don't come, you won't know if you're sold!

When Tong Guan heard this voice, he immediately understood that this time he had changed people. This man in black should be older than the one he saw before, his voice is more vicissitudes and more majestic, but his eyes are sharper and more exciting. When Tong Guan heard it in his ears, he felt that the pressure was much greater than before, and an unprecedented feeling of emptiness came to his heart.

What does your old man say, in front of your old man, the villain is just a small ant, how dare you sell it, and how can you sell your old man! Tong Guan felt that the man in black today was much stronger in martial arts than the one who came here two times before. The previous few times, he was not an opponent, but this time, he is naturally not an opponent. As for the man in black calling the emperor by his name, he didn't care much about it.

Hmph, don't talk about it, you can be fooled in front of others, but in front of me, you don't want to be confused. Let me ask you, did you know that Zhao Xu's queen was pregnant?
