The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 503 There is a special meaning
Zhao Yao was full of doubts about the fact that his future princess was born as a commoner. He didn't understand why the emperor arranged it like this. If the emperor really wants to kick him out, then what he and He Lianfang have done for him over the years is nothing.

If the emperor had not changed his mind, why would he be given a princess with no background and no power? Is it to make everyone more convinced that he, the King of Han, is really not favored, to paralyze everyone, and to let him continue to hide aside without any danger or trouble?
Does the smelly father really want him to sit in that seat without any blood? Does the smelly father love him so much?
Even if his stinky father really loves him so much that he can't bear to see him in any danger, let alone the slightest bit of blood, then when he ascends the throne in the future, will he be able to stay away from danger and blood? Is it really good for him to protect him to such an extent and wait for him to ascend the throne in the future?

Can a well-protected prince who has never experienced the bloodshed of heirloom really be a good emperor?
The dangers and bloodshed faced by being an emperor are even more cruel. Can an emperor who has never experienced any suffering really manage the country of Zhou Dynasty well?

Zhao Yao thought of Zhao Yao's dream about a certain emperor in history. When he learned that the people had no food to eat, he actually asked why the people didn't eat minced meat.

He didn't believe that his stinky father would protect him like this. There must be some conspiracy behind it, but he couldn't think of it at the moment.

"Ugh……"

Tongxi, who was standing aside, heard Zhao Yao sighing again, and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep sighing?"

Zhao Yao shook his head and said: "I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out." He always thought that he was quite smart and could see through things, or see through some of his father's moves, but this time the marriage arranged by his father was... He really couldn't understand.

Tongxi asked curiously and worriedly: "Your Highness, what is it that makes you confused and makes you so troubled?" He had never seen His Highness so troubled, as if he had encountered some huge problem. .

Zhao Yao raised his eyes and took a look, then sighed slightly and said, "You don't understand."

"My servant doesn't understand, but you can discuss it with the Second Master." If His Highness doesn't understand something, then he definitely doesn't understand it.

"You can't discuss this matter with your second uncle." He had long known about the conspiracy between his second uncle and his father, but his second uncle didn't know that he knew.

"Second Master can't do it, then you can talk to General Chu and the others." Tongxi said, "Although they may not be able to help you come up with a good solution, if you talk to them, maybe you will feel better."

"Chu Huan can talk to him, forget about the others." Among the four brothers, Chu Huan is the smartest, most stable and mature.

"Then this slave girl will call General Chu here."

"No, I'll go find him myself." After Zhao Yao said that, he stood up and left.

Tongxi quickly chased after me, "Your Highness, please wait for me."

Because Chu Huan is stable, mature and wise, Zhao Yao put him in charge of the Shenji Camp last year. Before he took charge of the Shenji Camp, Zhao Yao put him to the test. One of them is marksmanship. At first, Chu Huan's spear skills were poor, but after he trained diligently for a period of time, his spear skills improved rapidly. Now, he has become a sharpshooter in the Shenji Camp.

The Shenji Battalion was not with Zhao Yao's Imperial Guards. The Shenji Camp exists independently, and it belongs directly to Zhao Yao himself.

Zhao Yao arranged the Shenji Camp in Beishan Laboratory. On the one hand, this is because the Beishan Laboratory is heavily guarded, and on the other hand, the firecrackers and bullets needed by the Shenji Camp have always been produced by the Beishan Laboratory.

Before leaving, Zhao Yao went to He Lianfang and told him that he was going to Beishan Laboratory for a while. If anything happened, he would send someone to Beishan Laboratory to find him.

He Lianfang didn't think much about it. After all, Zhao Yao often went to Beishan Laboratory and would not come back for several days.

Zhao Yao went to Beishan Laboratory. Instead of rushing to find Chu Huan, he went to check the improvements of the cannon first. Previously, through the unremitting efforts of Zheng Cheng and the craftsmen, the cannon was finally made. However, there are many problems and further improvement is needed.

The craftsman told Zhao Yao that this improvement was going very smoothly. In a few days, you can test the effect again. After hearing this, Zhao Yao was very satisfied. He praised the craftsmen very much and said that he would give them rewards after the test was successful in a few days.

Once they heard about the rewards, the craftsmen became more motivated.

In addition to cannons, the improvement of pistols is also proceeding smoothly. Also, although the rubber experiment has not yet been successful, it is better than before.

The experiments in the Beishan laboratory went well, and Zhao Yao was very satisfied with it. After walking around the laboratory, Zhao Yao went to the Shenji Camp.

As soon as we arrive at the Shenji Camp, we must first check the training results of the soldiers in the Shenji Camp during this period. Currently, there are still only two hundred soldiers in the Shenji Camp. Although more and more fire guns are being produced now, it is completely possible to expand the Shenji Camp, but in order to ensure the quality of the Shenji Camp, Zhao Yao has no plans to expand at the moment. It will definitely be expanded in the future.

Shenji Camp holds shooting competitions every month. The top three soldiers will naturally be rewarded. Those who perform the worst will of course be punished. If during the competition, his performance is too poor, for example, if he fails to hit the bullseye once, he will be eliminated, kicked out of the Shenji Camp, and returned to the Guards Camp. So far, no one has been so bad that he has been eliminated from the Shenji camp.

Although not everyone has reached the level of a sharpshooter, every soldier in the Shenji Battalion is very good at marksmanship. Their worst training results on weekdays were seven rings.

The soldiers in Shenji Camp all know that they are different from the Imperial Guards. They are Zhao Yao's trump card. Their status is higher than that of the Imperial Guards, and their level of importance is also higher than that of them. The most important thing is that their treatment is much better than that of the Guards. Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that their daily meals include meat for three meals, including pork, chicken, duck, goose, mutton, and various fish from the sea. Also, they have fruit to eat every day. The most important thing is that their monthly salary is also very high. Their salary can fully support themselves and their families, so they don't have to worry about their family's livelihood and can train with peace of mind.

In addition to monthly shooting competitions, hunting competitions are also held every two months. The soldiers in the Shenji Battalion went hunting in the mountains. Shooting can't just hit dead targets, but also live targets. Hunting is the best way to train for shooting live targets.

It's just training, not actual combat, so once pirates appear, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion will go on missions. If you shoot a pirate, you will be rewarded with a hundred coins.

For the soldiers in Shenji Camp, they wish there were pirates every day, so that they can not only get bonuses, but also train their spear skills. Unfortunately, pirates don't happen every day.

When the soldiers in the Shenji Camp saw the King of Han coming, they were all very excited. They are full of worship for Zhao Yao. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Yao is almost like a "god" in their hearts. The reason why they respect Zhao Yao as a "god" is mainly because Zhao Yao made firecrackers, grenades, pistols, cannons and other things. In their opinion, this cannot be done by humans, only "gods" can make such powerful weapons.

Zhao Yao competed with the soldiers in the Shenji Battalion in spear skills, and without any surprise he defeated the entire Shenji Battalion. Although Zhao Yao does not practice spear skills every day in the Shenji Camp, he takes time to practice spear skills every day in the Han Palace.

Seeing His Highness the King of Han's "superb" marksmanship again, the soldiers were inspired and decided to train even harder.

After competing with the soldiers in spear skills, Zhao Yao took Chu Huan to chat. He told Chu Huan that his future princess was born as a commoner. After hearing this, Chu Huan looked very shocked.

"What do you think the old man is planning?" Chu Huan is the person Zhao Yao trusts the most. He would tell Chu Huan anything important. When he knew that the emperor and He Lianfang were secretly plotting for him to become emperor, he also told Chu Huan. "Does the old man not want me to be the emperor?"

"Your Highness, don't you want to sit in that seat? Doesn't the emperor's doing this suit your wishes?" When Chu Huan learned that the emperor and He Lianfang secretly designed Zhao Yao to become emperor, he was not surprised at all. However, Zhao Yao told him this matter, which made him very surprised and very touched at the same time, because he knew that this was because Zhao Yao believed in him. As for Zhao Yao not wanting to fall into the trap and become emperor, he was not surprised at all.

To him, it didn't matter whether Zhao Yao was emperor or not. If Zhao Yao wants to be emperor, then he will fully support it. If Zhao Yao doesn't want to be an emperor and just wants to be a happy and happy prince in Lingnan, then he will support it and will always follow him.

"If the old man really gives up on me sitting in that seat, then I definitely want him to do that." Zhao Yao said with a piece of grass in his mouth and a slight frown, "The key is, has the old man really given up on me?"

Chu Huan thought about it carefully, "I don't think the emperor has given up on you." In order to let His Highness sit in that seat, the emperor and General He had been planning for more than ten years. They couldn't just give up.

"So, I think there must be a conspiracy."

"Your Highness, maybe the emperor arranged for you to have a commoner princess to prevent your relatives from taking over the throne?" Chu Huan guessed.

Zhao Yao had not thought of this, but now that he heard what Chu Huan said, he felt it was very possible.

"It is really possible that a queen who is born as a commoner cannot make trouble in the court without the support of a strong natal family."

"Isn't the emperor always afraid of aristocratic families, so he arranged for you to be a commoner princess?" Chu Huan analyzed, "A queen who is born as a commoner does not have to worry about the queen's natal family intervening in politics, let alone what the queen will do for the benefit of her natal family. Things that endanger the country and the country.”

Hearing what Chu Huan said, Zhao Yao suddenly became enlightened, and he immediately thought of many things.

He raised his hand and patted his forehead, and said with annoyance: "I am a fan of the authorities, but I didn't think of this. Now that I have figured it out, I found that the old man's arrangement has a profound meaning." His stinky father arranged for him to be a commoner. Princess, you really put a lot of effort into this.
