Right Prime Minister Fan Ziyong said in a sinister tone: "Everything depends on human effort. If the Jinyiwei cannot handle this matter, then I will plan it myself."
Left Prime Minister Lu Zeng frowned slightly, "Since Brother Fan is so confident, I'll leave this matter to Brother Fan.
However, this matter is of great importance. If anything goes wrong, the imperial court will not be able to withstand the retaliation of the Zhenxi Army."
Right Prime Minister Fan Ziyong nodded and said, "I will make sure everything is foolproof before I take action, so Brother Lu, don't worry.
But let me be frank: once Sun Hao is eliminated, I will take the lion's share of the Zhenxi Army."
"That's as it should be. Let's do as Brother Fan wishes."
After the Right Prime Minister Fan Ziyong said goodbye and left, the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister Lu Zeng, the Minister of Personnel Lu Xuan, walked into the study.
"Father, can the Right Prime Minister really get rid of Sun Hao secretly?"
Left Prime Minister Lu Zeng sneered, "If Sun Hao was so easy to kill, it wouldn't be Fan Ziyong's turn to do it."
Lu Xuan asked doubtfully, "Father, does the Right Prime Minister have any support?"
The Left Prime Minister Lu Zeng then said, "The Jinyiwei has received news that Fan Ziyong seems to be secretly colluding with the Parthian Empire and the Cheshi Empire in the Western Regions.
Perhaps Fan Ziyong wanted to use the Parthian Empire and the Cheshi Empire to assassinate Sun Hao."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The Parthian Empire and the Cheshi Empire suffered heavy losses at the hands of Sun Hao several times before. If these two countries could deal with Sun Hao, they would have eliminated him long ago.
However, Sun Hao is indeed arrogant and unreasonable. After the crown prince ascends the throne, keeping him around will be a problem."
Crown Prince Chen Zhao was the second son and eldest legitimate son of the current Liang Emperor Chen Xun, so he was appointed crown prince early on.
Officials from the left prime minister Lu Zeng's faction supported Crown Prince Chen Zhao.
The biological mother of Crown Prince Chen Zhao was Empress Lu, who was the niece of Left Prime Minister Lu Zeng.
Officials from the right prime minister Fan Ziyong's faction supported Chen Yuan, the eldest son of Emperor Chen Xun.
The biological mother of the eldest prince Chen Yuan was Concubine Fan, and Concubine Fan was the biological daughter of the right prime minister Fan Ziyong, so the right prime minister Fan Ziyong naturally had to support his own grandson.
In fact, Emperor Chen Xun favored the eldest son Chen Yuan and once thought of deposing the crown prince. However, due to pressure from officials including the Left Prime Minister, Emperor Chen Xun had to give up this idea.
It is precisely because Emperor Chen Xun had such an idea that the struggle for the throne between the crown prince and the eldest prince has become increasingly fierce.
Left Prime Minister Lu Zeng sighed and said, "If we want to deal with Sun Hao and the Zhenxi Army, we have to rely on the Prince of Yong'an.
The Imperial Guards suffered heavy losses on the southern battlefield. The first thing the court needs to do is to raise as much military funds as possible to help Prince Yong'an restore the strength of the Imperial Guards.
