Chapter 483: Wading into Troubled Waters

"Your Majesty, I don't think his time is running out." Bai Rong lowered his eyes and said softly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

Perhaps it was the time that was running out, which caused the emperor to have a moody temper recently, and the ministers all hung their breath when they went to court, for fear that they would provoke Long Yan and lose their lives.

Luo Zhan nodded: "Recently, the situation in the court has been a little tense, if my guess is right, the emperor has begun to suspect me and Xu Ceyi." ”

This sentence is true, because of their relationship with Gu Ziyuan, the emperor has always been suspicious of the two, if it weren't for the news that Gu Ziyuan had died, I'm afraid the two of them wouldn't be so comfortable now.

The clear-eyed Song Yuyu is an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and I can't tell if this is the emperor's disgrace to the two of them.

"I did think of a solution." Bai Rong suddenly raised his eyes and looked at everyone.

Hearing this, Luo Zhan smiled: "What is the relationship between us, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Bai Rong nodded when he heard him say this, and was about to speak when he saw Gu Ziyuan raise his hand and ask her to talk later.

She reacted quickly, it was because she was worried that the wall had ears. Song Yuyu shook his head: "This place was chosen by me, and there are people all around me, don't worry." ”

Saying this, Bai Rong put his mind at ease and told his thoughts: "The two of you are now officials in the imperial court, not to mention the status of the two of you, at least you have the right to speak. ”

"Now that the emperor has deposed the crown prince, the absence of a leader of the dragons will definitely cause strife. Many courtiers who already have a position are afraid that they will also be restless. The question of who the emperor will appoint as the prince next must have made many people toss and turn. Speaking of this, Bai Rong cleared his throat.

"If we want to muddy the water in the court, we might as well start with them." Bai Rong covered his mouth and smiled, and his smart eyes were full of intelligence.

"You mean, let's make some points that make everyone nervous?" Luo Zhan thought about it for a moment and understood what she meant.

Bai Rong nodded and glanced at him approvingly: "You just let the emperor immediately re-establish the crown prince on the grounds that the imperial court can't be without a prince for a day." ”

In this way, the original princelings will inevitably have another strife, and the old-school courtiers may choose to continue to support the deposed prince, still believing that the deposed princes have a chance to turn over.

Some of the younger courtiers are afraid that they will choose another person to support, such as a few other princes who have not yet entered everyone's field of vision.

"And the two of you can't put forward the court together, and you can't go without the prince's admonition for a day." Bai Rong immediately said again.

Xu Ce also reacted, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked softly: "Do you want us to perform an infighting and let the emperor let down his guard against us?" ”

Bai Rong's eyebrows curled: "Yes, that's it." ”

It's easy, because they've been playing that role before.

Since the emperor is very wary of both of them, then he might as well let him know that in fact, the two of them cannot be regarded as very harmonious.

The people who ascended the throne were already suspicious, not to mention that they made the emperor feel credible in this way. As soon as Gu Ziyuan died, the two of them immediately participated in the dispute for their own interests, which was in line with human nature.

And this can not only lower the emperor's wariness of them, but also create some chaos in the court, such as bringing his ministers to the emperor and forcing him to make a decision to set up the crown prince as soon as possible.

The emperor will also be busy because of this matter, and it will be difficult to get out of it to calculate them in a short time.

Everyone is only speculating about the relationship between them and Gu Ziyuan, but they don't know if they are doing things for Gu Ziyuan, and if there is a dispute like this, it is easy to reassure.

If they do this, they may be able to make Gu Zongtang make mistakes.

What Luo Zhan and Xu Ce have to do now is to act, acting as if they don't know what Gu Ziyuan's identity is, and they also have to act like they don't know that Gu Ziyuan was killed, so that they can avoid the danger of being assassinated.

"Moreover, it is best for this matter to be raised by Luo Zhan, because Luo Zhan has worked with Gu Ziyuan, and the emperor's suspicion of Luo Zhan will be even more serious." After a moment's thought, point out the most crucial point.

Luo Zhan nodded, he did sense that when he was in the last court, the emperor paid more attention to him than before.

Many times he went down to court, and he could feel the cold sweat on his back.

The Son of Heaven was angry and ambushed millions of corpses, he knew this truth deeply, not to mention that the current emperor was moody, and if there was anything that made him suspicious, he would definitely send someone to investigate it, and he would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let go of one.

will be their own

After the idea was finished, Bai Rong breathed a sigh of relief, frowned slightly and said softly: "There may be some risks in today's matter, if you think that you will expose flaws or hindering and threaten your own safety, I will think of some other ways." ”

Hearing her say this, Luo Zhan and Xu Ce also shook their heads: "This is indeed the most reliable and effective way now, the two of us will be more careful, and you should also take care." ”

On the second day, Luo Zhan, according to what Bai Rong said, put forward the proposal of establishing a prince when he was in the last dynasty.

As expected, as soon as he spoke, someone immediately refuted him.

"The crown prince has just been deposed, what do you mean by this kind of thought? Do you already have a better candidate in mind? ”

"As an official of the current court, shouldn't you think about how to assist the emperor, why is your heart full of thinking about which prince to help seize the throne?" A gray-bearded official held a badge in his hand, and his voice was fierce.

Luo Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and sure enough, as Bai Rong said, those who opposed his opinion were basically the original prince's faction, and they were all some older courtiers.

He looked at the slightly younger talents, and saw that they were all pensive, and apparently began to wonder where they were going and where they would stand.

Xu Ce also stood up at this time and looked at Luo Zhan seriously: "Now is not the time to say that this is the case, His Majesty the Emperor is in the prime of life, and the matter of the crown prince can be tolerated later." ”

Luo Zhan frowned as he spoke, and the two stood in front of the hall and began to debate on this matter.

The emperor was annoyed by the two of them, but instead of losing his temper, he clapped his hands and asked the two of them to stop and said, "Retreat from the court, I am tired today." ”

The huge hall quickly emptied, and the emperor let out a long sigh of relief and slowly relaxed a little.

Song Yuyu was lying lazily on the bed, he looked at Zhao Yu beside him, who was diagnosing his pulse, and was a little helpless: "I said I'm fine, but I just pretended to be sick and didn't want to go, so I really don't have to worry about it." ”

The person he named glanced at him lightly, silently put away the medicine bag, stood up and walked out.

And Song Yuyu, who was treated so coldly and indifferently by him, was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a good-looking arc, and he actually felt a trace of subtlety in his heart.

It seems that someone clings to a feather and scratches his heart, not itchy, but a little unbearable.
