Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Nan Rongxin pondered for a moment, then looked at the officials present, "What do you think?"

No one else dared to express their opinion, and they all turned their eyes to Prime Minister Zhao.

Want to find out what he means.

Although they have always followed Prime Minister Zhao's lead, to this day, they still only have Prime Minister Zhao in their eyes, which makes Nan Rongxin very unhappy.

"Your Highness, even if you want to rebel, it is definitely not now. The time is not right." Prime Minister Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Now that His Majesty is still alive, whether it is treason or forcing the emperor to abdicate, it is high treason for Your Highness. Even if it succeeds, this crime will be branded on Your Highness forever."

"How long do you think we have to wait, Prime Minister Zhao?"

"Wait until Nan Rongzhi ascends the throne. Your Majesty will not have much time left. When that time comes, it will be natural for us to rebel. The victor will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. Neither the historians nor the people will say anything."

There will be fluctuations when every dynasty changes, because dissatisfaction and rebellion will occur from time to time.

As long as one is not rebelling against one's own father, such a rebellious act is understandable.

What Prime Minister Zhao said makes sense. Nan Rongxin has some clues. The rebellion has been decided. The main thing is to choose when to rebel.

Now, or wait until my father passes away.

"What father said is indeed true, but you have overlooked one thing. When the Crown Princess ascends the throne, the Prince of Zhennan will no longer help us."

Zhao Lanxue spoke up at the right time to remind everyone that the choice was in their hands, but not just in their hands.

Now the Prince of Zhennan shares a common goal with them, which is to have the Emperor abolish Nan Rongzhi's status as the Crown Princess.

If Nan Rongzhi ascends the throne, if Prince Zhennan wants to rebel, he will definitely rebel on his own and will not cooperate with them.

Do unnecessary things.

The Prince of Zhennan has a powerful army. If he wants to rebel, the guards in the capital will not be able to stop him.

But everyone knows that Prince Zhennan has his own bottom line in his heart. He is unwilling to rebel against his royal brother, and he has no plans to become emperor himself.

He just wanted to support Nan Rongjing to ascend the throne.

"We can't wait any longer, cousin. Are you sure you can convince Uncle Wang?"

The eldest prince thought for a moment and made up his mind. If he continued to be indecisive, he would only miss another good opportunity.

Cooperating with Prince Zhennan now is the best option. Once Nan Rongzhi is brought down, it will be a war between him and Prince Zhennan.

He was not afraid that the King of Zhennan would bite him back after he succeeded.

He had already thought of a countermeasure. Since he had chosen the path of rebellion, he would go all the way and get rid of Nan Rongzhi and Prince Zhennan.

Although the Prince of Zhennan has a large number of troops, most of his forces are on the border, and there are only 20,000 troops in the capital.

When both sides were preparing for rebellion, he sent people to the surrounding counties and prefectures to mobilize troops to surround the capital.

The actions of Prince Zhennan would conceal the deployment of his troops, and they would be surrounded outside the capital without them noticing.

Once they succeed in the imperial palace, he will let them break into the city and kill Prince Zhennan as well. In this way, he can rest easy without any future troubles.

Nan Rongxin thought that his plan was a good one, killing two birds with one stone, and he must seize this opportunity.

After that, no matter what Prime Minister Zhao said to him, he would not listen. He was determined to rebel.

Seeing this, other officials also persuaded Prime Minister Zhao to rebel, because they really didn't want to wait any longer.

In the past few years, outsiders did not know, but they themselves knew that the family had gradually declined and a new family was rising.

If they don't take action, this century-old family will be destroyed in their hands.

They also longed for the eldest prince whom they supported to ascend the throne, confer titles of nobility and appointments of prime ministers on them, and allow the glory of their family to continue.

Seeing that everyone supported the rebellion, Prime Minister Zhao felt that no matter how much he said, it would be meaningless, and in the end he could only nod in agreement.

But I always feel that something is wrong about this matter.

After the eldest prince and others left the Zhao Mansion, he called Zhao Lanxue to his study.

"father…"

"Crack~"

He went up and slapped Zhao Lanxue in the face, "Asshole, who told you to come here and say these things?"

“Father?” Zhao Lanxue looked at him with tears in her eyes. “I do this for Your Highness, for my father, and for the Zhao family.”

"I think you are doing this for yourself. You didn't want to marry the eldest prince before, but now that you know Nan Rongzhi is a girl, you have changed your mind and want to show off in front of the eldest prince. Is that right?"

Prime Minister Zhao had a gloomy face. He had always known that his daughter was ambitious and he also wanted her to be the queen.

But what can be said is that she is becoming more and more disobedient. She even instigated the eldest prince to rebel without even consulting him.

"You think that just because you came up with an idea to make your father the prime minister, you understand government and can make plans. You are so stupid."

"Father, rebellion is indeed the best option now."

Zhao Lanxue did not make any further arguments, but simply stated this fact coldly.

"Even if it is the best option, we cannot bring up the matter of treason."

This is what Prime Minister Zhao cannot accept the most. Who doesn't want to rebel? They all have the intention to rebel, but they are a century-old aristocratic family. No matter who the emperor is, they can stand firm.

He relies on reputation. There have always been party struggles. It is reasonable for him to support his nephew. Even if the eldest prince is defeated in the end, it will only be a disaster for his family and will not implicate the entire Zhao family.

But if you participate in a rebellion and fail, it will be a disaster for your entire family.

"The eldest prince has the upper hand now and will not fail. If he succeeds, our Zhao family will rise to prominence and become the leader of all noble families."

Zhao Lanxue said slowly, "Father, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. We can't just seek stability, we must also know how to seize opportunities and climb up."

"Look at the Zheng family. Why did Zheng Hong betray us and join Nan Rongzhi? Isn't it because of this idea? Nan Rong Country is about to welcome a new master. Everyone wants to seize this opportunity. Everyone has their own selfish motives."

When mentioning the Zheng family, Prime Minister Zhao's face darkened. "This Zheng Hong, who hasn't even become the head of the family and inherited the title, dares to act so recklessly. He is such an arrogant kid. Sooner or later, the Zheng family will be destroyed in his hands."

"The Zheng family is ruined, isn't that a good thing for us?"

Zhao Lanxue whispered, "Father, this is the eldest prince's opportunity, and it is also our opportunity. It is wrong for my daughter to make the decision on her own, but this matter is a foregone conclusion, and we should seize the opportunity."

Prime Minister Zhao did not answer, but looked at her steadily. The two looked at each other, and Zhao Lanxue did not hide the ambition in her eyes.

In the end, Prime Minister Zhao only asked, "What do you want to get after you succeed?"

"A daughter naturally wants to be the mother of the country."
