Zhou Kang also knew about the relationship between Zhou Rui and Li Wanyi. When Li Wanyi came to the capital, the two of them were together almost every day.
Even Zhou Kang was very supportive of the marriage at first, but he didn't expect that now that he had such a good opportunity, Zhou Rui would have to wait a little longer.
This shows that Zhou Rui must have a more ambitious goal in his heart, and even the personal relationship between his children must give way to this goal!
Although Zhou Kang had always felt that Zhou Rui being the emperor was the best choice, but now seeing Zhou Rui's current behavior, Zhou Kang suddenly realized something. I am afraid that he has never really understood his elder brother.
In this case, how could Zhou Kang not be disappointed?
Zhou Kang shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.
On the other side, after the officials retired from the court, they all gathered in the residence of Prime Minister Feng Shen.
These officials all supported the second prince Zhou Wei and already accounted for about half of the court. At this time, they were all sighing and didn't know what to do.
"Prime Minister Feng, we originally thought that we could rely on this matter to establish the second prince's position as crown prince, but we didn't expect that it was ruined by Zhao Feng."
The officials said this with angry expressions on their faces.
After hearing what they said, Feng Shen laughed, waved his hand and said.
"What's the rush? What's his is his, no one else can take it away even if they want!"
"But judging from His Majesty's intentions today, I'm afraid he won't choose the crown prince so early. What's the use of worrying here?"
After hearing Feng Shen's words, the officials all showed puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Master Prime Minister, should we just do nothing and wait for the results quietly?"
"As the saying goes, everything depends on man-made efforts. Is there really nothing we can do?"
Feng Shen shook his head, with a cold look in his eyes.
"Before, we felt that His Majesty had some physical problems, so we were anxious to let His Majesty establish a prince."
"But now that His Majesty doesn't agree, we can do other things!"
At this point, Feng Shen changed the subject and spoke directly.
"That Zhao Feng has caused so much trouble even though he is not in the court during this period. Can't you still see what His Majesty means?"
The officials couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then sneered on their faces. They already understood what Feng Shen meant.
"Prime Minister, please leave this matter to your subordinates. I guarantee that it will be done beautifully!"
Feng Shen smiled slightly and nodded lightly.
At this moment, the second prince Liu Wei walked in from the outside in a hurry. Seeing these officials gathering here to drink and talk, he suddenly became very angry.
"You still have the heart to drink here. Didn't you agree that I could bring military honors by showing off with my troops? Now I have even led my troops to drive the Huns back. How did it end up in this situation?"
Liu Wei said this and directly questioned the ministers. Upon hearing Liu Wei's questioning, the faces of the ministers became a little unhappy.
Feng Shen put down the wine glass in his hand and waved to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei frowned and walked over, then reluctantly raised his hand and shouted.
"teacher."
Before he finished speaking, Feng Shen suddenly raised his hand and slapped Liu Wei on the face!
Liu Wei immediately covered his face in disbelief and looked at Feng Shen with shock.
"Since you still recognize me as your teacher, it's not your turn to yell in front of me!"
"Remember, do everything after planning, don't be impatient! Have you forgotten all the things I have taught you over the years?"
Liu Wei gritted his teeth, his expression showing a hint of humiliation, but he still bowed respectfully to Feng Shen.
"Teacher, the student made a mistake and shouldn't yell in front of the teacher!"
Feng Shen nodded, then gently touched Liu Wei's face and comforted him softly.
"Don't worry, the teacher will definitely help you reach the top position in your lifetime. Don't forget, your mother-in-law is my sister!"
Hearing this, Liu Weicai smiled and nodded vigorously. When he turned around, there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Feng Shen didn't notice this, but looked at the ministers.
"Everyone should stay calm during this time and don't give other officials a chance to make excuses."
"Also, I heard that Zhao Feng's business seems to be quite profitable?"
The officials couldn't help but laugh. Although Zhao Feng had not been dealt with yet, they had already begun to discuss how to divide the spoils.
The capital fell into a new round of calm, as if the previous undercurrent no longer existed, but only by being in it could one faintly feel that the entire capital was filled with an aura of impending rain.
At this time, Zhao Feng and Zhou Tong were rushing back to Zhou Tong's fiefdom.
"Your Highness Princess, let's take a rest here today!"
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Zhou Tong raised his head in confusion and watched as Zhao Feng then opened the curtains of the carriage and looked outside, only to realize that it was still early.
"Are you tired, Mr. Zhao? Why do you have to rest here when it's already dark?"
Zhao Feng smiled awkwardly. Zhou Tong had a high fever last time in the wild. If he hadn't brought some drinks with him, he might not have been able to treat it. He didn't want that to happen again.
Zhou Tong saw Zhao Feng's look and immediately understood what Zhao Feng was worried about. Although he felt that he would not get sick again this time, Zhou Tong was embarrassed to say it.
Zhou Tong nodded with a blushing face.
"Okay, then listen to Mr. Zhao and rest here for one night!"
Only then did Zhao Feng laugh and directly asked the servants he brought to choose an inn to stay at.
After arriving at a pretty good inn in the city and asking for a few rooms each, Zhao Feng took Zhou Tong and the others to stay here.
Logically speaking, as a princess of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Tong should notify local officials when she comes to various cities. However, this is not a hard and fast rule. Zhou Tong does not like those troublesome things, let alone let people come. It bothered myself, so I gave it up.
But what Zhao Feng and Zhou Tong didn't know was that when they left the capital, a group of people followed them from a distance. Now that they saw Zhao Feng and Zhou Tong staying in this inn, those people also They all lay in ambush nearby.
"You see clearly, that man is the target this time. As for the woman, be sure not to move!"
In an inn, I saw a very ordinary-looking man giving orders with a cold expression.
The people around them all looked fierce, and one even had a long scar on his forehead.
