Chapter 1768 The official is worried about Lord Zhao

Zhao Xuanji sat in his seat, his face as if he was flat.

But the heart has already washed away the thunder.

Isn’t Zhao Xuanji’s life just for the word “power”?

As a minister, he has reached the extreme. He neither wants the foundation he has worked hard for his whole life to be as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of imperial power, nor does he want to gain greater power, so he has no choice but to fight against imperial power.

In the final analysis, the path he can walk has come to an end.

So he had to open up another new path.

But how difficult this new path is to follow. Since ancient times, powerful ministers have been like stars in the sky. Almost all dynasties have produced one or two powerful ministers, but there have been no more than three who can walk this path through ancient times.

The success rate of this matter is no higher than that of an ordinary person with a root and bone qualification to enter the land fairyland.

And Zhao Xuanji's hope is even more slim.

Because he had tried it once, that time, the Emperor of Daxing woke up and smashed all his hopes, and he failed.

This kind of thing must not be repeated.

Even Zhao Xuanji himself knew that unless the Emperor Daxing died suddenly and the Crown Prince Li Chen made a series of tricks, the probability of his second usurping the throne was pitiful.

But now, he seems to see another way.

Become a king.

No one can remain calm when facing these two words.

Including Zhao Xuanji.

Although there was no expression on Zhao Xuanji's face, Zhou Ping'an seemed to have already thought about everything in his heart. He talked: "Your Highness personally, as long as Lord Zhao can help the court solve the gap of 20 million taels this time, the prince will promise Lord Zhao a throne."

"And it is a throne with fiefs and real power. In this way, Lord Zhao is the seventh king of different surnames since the founding of this dynasty, and it is also the first king of different surnames in the Great Qin Empire in a hundred years."

Zhao Xuanji slowly clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice: "These 20 million taels are necessary to solve the problem of the money house?"

Zhou Ping'an smiled without saying a word, but did not answer, which is also an answer.

Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "Didn't your highness ever suspect that all this was manipulated by me behind the scenes?"

"Suspected."

Zhou Ping'an admitted it simply and bluntly, and then said: "But no."

"The reason is very simple. The first thing that this matter hurts is the Eastern Palace, and the second thing that hurts is Lord Zhao. Lord Zhao has no reason to do such a thing that hurts the enemy by one thousand and damages himself by eight hundred, and it damages the foundation of the court. Lord Zhao's eyes are in the world, so he will definitely not do this thing that can dig a grave."

Zhao Xuanji smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Your Highness would actually polite me like this. I am really flattered."

"how?"

Zhou Ping'an asked, "What's the point of this deal, Lord Zhao wants to do?"

Zhao Xuanji was fun and said, "Are you in a hurry?"

"I'm in a hurry."

Zhou Ping'an pointed outside and said, "Now the money shop is lined up every day. News about the emptiness of the imperial court's treasury, the war on the front line is unfavorable, and the soon to pay a large amount of compensation is rampant. The people's trust in the imperial court is collapsed every day. If the money shop is completely cut off, then a civil unrest that swept the whole country is in front of us. Once such a thing happens, the foundation of the imperial court's rule will be shaky and rise up everywhere, and the court's losses will be greater."

"For this loss, the Eastern Palace will eat the big head, while Lord Zhao will eat the remaining small head. The subordinates are anxious, because they are anxious for the prince, and you are anxious for you, Lord Zhao."
