Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 169; Father and son quarrel

Fang Qiao's words about "family" made Fang Zhilan blush, and she did not continue to refuse, but her affection for Huo Junyao, the sister-in-law, increased a bit.

After Fang Zhilan left, Fang Qiao took Huo Jinyan to the study.

He still had a lot of questions about corn just now. As one of the few capable ministers and officials in the Yu Dynasty, he had to find out more about the situation of such good things.

Just when the two of them couldn't stop talking about corn.

In the palace, a fierce quarrel was taking place.

At this time, in Da'an Palace, the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Zhaowu, father and son, were staring at each other.

On the way back from outside the city, father and son had a good conversation. Both of them said that Huo Junyao should be rewarded generously for his two contributions.

Emperor Zhaowu also believed deeply in the promise made by the Supreme Emperor.

He also did not hope that one day in the future, his son would wield the butcher knife against his relatives.

If the prince is still messing around like he did some time ago, he really should seriously consider whether he is qualified for the position of prince.

For this reason, he had already thought about many words to explain to the queen.

But when they arrived at Da'an Palace, the old man suddenly said that he hoped to recall King Jin to the capital.

Emperor Zhaowu was furious immediately.

The King of Qin is currently the top prince among all the princes in the Yu Dynasty, except for the prince, and his fiefdom is also the most prosperous place in the states of the Yu Dynasty.

Logically speaking, such a top prince should be well-known, but he is currently the one that no one in the Yu Dynasty dares to mention.

Because he was not the son of Emperor Zhaowu, but the eldest son of the late Prince Yide.

This Prince Yide was the eldest brother of Emperor Zhaowu, that is, the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor.

He is also the successor who has high hopes for the emperor. He is both civil and military, brave and good at fighting. However, because he is too brave, he was injured many times when the Yu Dynasty was conquering the world.

In the third year after the founding of the Yu Dynasty, due to the recurrence of old injuries, the eldest son, who had continued to have high hopes for the emperor, died suddenly of illness. The death of the successor who had high hopes for him was a huge blow to the emperor at that time.

It even almost led to instability in the country. Fortunately, Emperor Zhaowu was very capable at the time. With his assistance, the situation in the Yu Dynasty was stabilized.

After that, the Supreme Emperor did not establish a prince for a long time. According to his idea at the time, he wanted to let the grandson of King Qin succeed to the throne. However, the grandson was still young at the time, and the ministers in the court wrote letters to object.

After all, the establishment of the Yu Dynasty requires a capable and capable successor. It would be inappropriate to put a young emperor in his place.

After three or four years of hesitation, the Supreme Emperor finally chose Emperor Zhaowu, who had good abilities in all aspects, to inherit the throne.

But before he abdicated, he still gave his grandson generous rewards. Not only did he give the title of King of Qin, the first among the princes, but he also gave him the fiefdom of the two richest states in the Yu Dynasty.

Emperor Zhaowu and his courtiers had no objection to this. After all, they knew the Emperor's thoughts, and Prince Yide was indeed deeply respected by everyone, so they would naturally be more tolerant and caring towards his bloodline.

However, as Emperor Zhaowu ascended the throne and established the crown prince and the title of prince, the situation of the King of Qin became somewhat embarrassing.

After all, everyone knows that this is the master who almost ascended to the great treasure. Even Emperor Zhaowu loves his nephew very much, but as an emperor, it is hard to say whether he will feel resentment in his heart.

Not to mention the existence of the prince, King Qi and King Chu. It is indeed not a problem if King Qin stays in the capital all the time. This is not the case. In order to prevent everyone from staying together and causing conflicts, the emperor directly asked King Qin to go to the fiefdom.

Although King Qin was young at the time, he understood what the old man meant. He didn't want to stay in the capital, so he went to the fiefdom.

And as he left the capital, few people in the capital's court mentioned it again. After all, there was a new master, and he was always thinking about the old master. This would not only cause trouble for himself, but also cause a lot of trouble for the King of Qin.

Especially after the quarrel between the prince and King Qi and King Chu, if this was brought up, not only the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor would be dissatisfied, but these three people would also be angry.

Therefore, King Qin gradually faded out of people's sight, and gradually became a person that the courtiers and dignitaries would not mention.

The King of Qin was also a smart man. Since he left the capital, he would almost never come back except for the Emperor's birthday, when he would write a letter requesting to return to the capital.

Even if it is Emperor Zhaowu's birthday, he will not come back if he does not receive the imperial edict. At most, he will ask the people below to prepare a generous gift.

Moreover, the gifts given each time were of average quality, so they would not make people feel shabby, nor would they overshadow the crown prince, King Qi, and others.

Although Emperor Zhaowu didn't say anything about this, he was very satisfied with the eldest nephew's sensibleness.

There are also many preferential treatment.

However, now the Supreme Emperor actually wants to let King Qin return to the capital. Considering the promise he made to Huo Junyao at the Hot Spring Villa, Emperor Zhaowu still doesn't know what he means.

This is to call King Qin back to train him.

The king of Qin in the past was still young, and the courtiers strongly opposed it, so the emperor had no choice but to do this.

But now that the King of Qin has grown up and has many virtuous names in the fiefdom, if he comes back, how can the virtues of the prince and the three brothers of King Qi and King Chu be compared?

I'm afraid that by then the ministers in the DPRK will also have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Although the fight between the three prince brothers is fierce now, everything is still within the control of Emperor Zhaowu, so there is no need to worry too much.

Even in many cases, there are some shadows of Emperor Zhaowu behind the fights between the three brothers. In his view, brotherly fights have benefits as long as they don't go out of bounds.

After all, this is also a kind of training.

But if King Qin comes back, the situation will become less easy to control. After all, this is the person who once competed with him for the throne.

In some ways, although he is of the same generation as the prince and others, his level is not on the same level.

Moreover, many of the current nobles of the Yu Dynasty were those who followed Prince Yide. If the King of Qin returns to Beijing, it is hard to say how these people will choose.

Therefore, this was an unstable factor that affected the balance. Emperor Zhaowu was naturally unwilling to let him come back.

In addition to the above considerations, there is also the most important point, which is that Emperor Zhaowu does not want to give up the throne.

He doesn't have a son, so why should he let his eldest nephew inherit the throne?

If it were given to the eldest nephew, wouldn't his position in the ancestral temple be very embarrassing a hundred years later?

After all, there is a big difference between being worshiped by a son and being worshiped by an eldest nephew.

Because of these thoughts, Emperor Zhaowu was firmly opposed to King Qin returning to the capital. Naturally, the Supreme Emperor could also think of these. Regardless of whether he had selfish motives, but judging from the current situation, this King of Qin is indeed more reliable than Emperor Zhaowu's three sons. .
