Fang Zeduan was promoted to the court by Lu Zhishan, and the Duan family was related by marriage to Lu Zhishan, so Duan Zeng didn't have to hide with Fang Zeduan. To put it bluntly, they were all in the same boat.
"I have been thinking about this for the past two days," Fang Zeduan nodded and said, "Although King Huijun has no intention of seizing the legitimate son so far, Long live the Lord must have been interested in him, and maybe he still is. And now there is a restless Prince Huai in the capital. Although Prince Huai’s crimes are extremely heinous, Long Live Lord may not take him to heart. Maybe after Prince Huai cries twice in front of the Holy Spirit, Long Live Lord will soften his heart again. This is not impossible. precedent."
"That's exactly what I'm worried about," Duan Zeng said with a frown, "Although Prince Ning is in charge of the government now, once Long Live Lord passes away, even if there is no imperial decree to pass the throne, it will not be difficult for Prince Ning to ascend the throne with our support. , But after all, the name is not justified, what I mean is that it is best to ask for the next imperial edict before Long Live Lord dies. "
"But I'm afraid Long Live Lord doesn't have this intention," Fang Zeduan sighed and shook his head, "We all see Lord Long Live's attitude towards Prince Ning. Because of the Eight Hundred Beauties incident, Lord Long Live almost masturbated the prince's penis. The title shows how deeply Long Live the Prince hates the prince. Now that the Prince has ordered Prince Huai to be imprisoned without asking for permission, Long Live Lord may be even more angry. Not long ago, Long Live Lord even actively paved the way for Prince Hui. If there is really an imperial edict to pass on the throne, I am afraid that the title of Prince Hui is also the one above, so where will it be the prince's turn? "
"So, this is the crux." Duan Zeng stroked his gray beard, shook his head and sighed.
The housekeeper knocked on the door outside. Zheng Zuoyang was so busy that he got up and opened the door. He came in with a teapot and a bowl, poured tea for the two of them, sat back, poured himself a cup of hooded stone flower, and took a sip. He put down the tea cup again, raised his head and said to Duan Zeng and Fang Ze: "I have a plan, I can ask Long live the Lord to take the initiative to leave an imperial decree for the prince to pass the throne."
Fang Zeduan was so busy that he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Say quickly."
"Long live the Lord is old and suffering from serious illness, so it is inevitable to establish the throne. Naturally, the left and right ministers should ask for the throne to be appointed in the previous dynasty. Whether it is in terms of age or ability, all the officials in the previous dynasty supported him. It is appropriate to establish a prince," Zheng Zuoyang said slowly, paused, and then said, "Long live the Lord is seriously ill now, but his mind is not confused. Naturally, he is also thinking about establishing a prince at this time. The reason why he is not willing to establish a prince as a prince. The prince, of course, is because he still has hope for Prince Hui and Prince Huai, so if Prince Hui and Prince Huai also request the Long Live Lord to make the prince the prince, they will naturally stop thinking about the Long Live Lord, even if the Long Live Lord still I don’t want to make the prince the crown prince, but with Prince Youhuai and Prince Hui’s request, it will be reasonable for the prince to ascend the throne a hundred years later.”
"What this Young Master said is quite good. It is both reasonable and feasible." Duan Zeng looked at Zheng Zuoyang with a look of approval, and said to Fang Ze, "Brother Fang has a unique vision."
"It's not that Fang is discerning, but that my daughter is discerning," Fang Zeduan was filled with pride, and a trace of pride appeared on his face. He pointed at Zheng Zuoyang and introduced Duan Zeng, "This is Fang's son-in-law, his surname is Zheng Zuoyang. "
Zheng Zuoyang stood up in a hurry and bowed deeply to Duan Zeng: "This junior has seen Uncle Duan and saluted Uncle Duan."
