Princess of the auxiliary country

The two stayed at the hot spring villa until they had dinner in the afternoon before leaving.

On the way back to the city, Huo Jingzhi looked at Ning Guogong and said, "Old Cheng, please don't tell anyone about what you saw and heard at the villa today."

Hearing this, Ning Guogong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

"However, the emperor seems to be talking about that homemade bomb in recent days. What are your plans?"

Speaking of which, in the past few days, Emperor Zhaowu would occasionally call several close ministers to the imperial study room to discuss political affairs. This was actually nothing, and it had always been like this.

But these past few times, the topic of discussions about Emperor Zhaowu always turned to homemade bombs.

And those little eyes couldn't help but glance at Huo Jingzhi.

Who doesn't know this scene? Emperor Zhaowu wanted that thing, but was too embarrassed to speak.

Huo Jingzhi also pretended not to see or hear these hints from Emperor Zhaowu.

Hearing Ning Guogong's words at this time, Huo Jingzhi shook his head and said, "That thing does not belong to me. If I made it, I would naturally hand it over without you having to ask the emperor."

"But it was made by my daughter. It belongs to her. Even as a father, I can't ask for it."

"Besides, the laws of the country do not stipulate that certain things must be handed over."

Ning Guogong was silent. How could he not know that Ji Guogong's mansion was quite complaining about the emperor's past actions.

"Having said that, it's not an option to continue like this, right?"

Huo Jingzhi was speechless, and the two of them went their separate ways when they returned to the capital.

At this time, in the imperial study, Emperor Zhaowu looked at Fang Qiao and asked helplessly, "Fang Aiqing, what should I do to restore the relationship with Duke Ji's mansion?"

Hearing this, Fang Qiao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "In my opinion, the emperor has been a little too hasty."

"What do you mean?"

Emperor Zhaowu looked serious.

"It hasn't been long since the last incident. Recently, the emperor has been talking about home-made bombs. I feel that I am a little too anxious."

"You can't be in a hurry. You have also seen how lethal that thing is. If this is used in the military, the combat effectiveness of our Yu Dynasty army will definitely increase to a higher level."

"Now that Yu is looking around at tigers and wolves, how can I not be anxious?"

"Of course I know this, but that thing must have been made by Miss Huo San herself, and it is not prohibited by the laws of the country."

"If others are willing to hand it over, it is a service to the country. If they are not willing, we can't say anything."

Although Fang Qiao understood Emperor Zhaowu's past operations, he couldn't help but feel that he was bullying Huo Junyao too much.

She didn't do anything, yet she was bullied so much for no reason.

It's true that you are the emperor, and it's understandable that you have a lot to consider, but you always have to do some remedial measures in private afterwards.

If you don't try to remedy it, you just keep thinking that others can and must understand you.

It has to be said that Emperor Zhaowu looked down upon Fang Qiao on this point.

Of course, as an emperor, he is used to being aloof, and subconsciously feels that everyone and everything should revolve around him.

Indeed, thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness.

Huo Junyao didn't say anything about this. If you want to cut off the title, you can say nothing nonsense, which can be regarded as achieving this.

Now that you are thinking about other people's things and still saying this, isn't that just trying to kidnap others morally?

To say something treasonous, do you deserve what others deserve?

"Hey, you're right. Some of my past actions were biased, but I can't help it. The stability of the country is more important than anything else." In this regard, Fang Qiao nodded and didn't say much.

After all, what can he say about this thing?

"Your Majesty, I still feel that there is no need to worry about this matter. Miss Huo San is probably still a little dissatisfied. If she is too anxious, it may be counterproductive."

"It's better to figure it out slowly, or you can ask the Supreme Emperor to come forward."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu's eyes immediately lit up.

"Ai Qing is right, I am a little anxious."

After a while, after Fang Qiao retreated, Emperor Zhaowu immediately got up and left the imperial study and went straight to Da'an Palace.

Fang Qiao's words just now reminded him that naturally he couldn't ask for it, so he would ask the Supreme Emperor to come forward. The Supreme Emperor was very kind to that girl and Duke Ji's mansion.

When he arrived at Da'an Palace, before he could speak, the Supreme Emperor said coldly, "Why do you think of me now?"

"I have always thought that your talents are not inferior to those of your elder brother. You have done well in everything in the past, and I am very satisfied."

"But I am very disappointed with some of your actions recently."

"Father."

Emperor Zhaowu's expression changed.

"Once upon a time, you were also a person who was very open-minded and cherished talents very much. When you were conquering the world, you treated those generals with all-round care."

"Why did you abandon all these qualities after being emperor for a few years?"

"Do you really think that since the emperor is so superior, he doesn't have to worry about the mood of his ministers?"

"If that's the case, then why don't they give you what you want?"

Being named and accused by the old man again, Emperor Zhaowu's face became even more ugly, and at the same time he felt a little ashamed.

I have to say that some of the old man’s words really hit the point.

Over the years he has been emperor, his mentality has indeed changed a lot. Although he still does well and attaches great importance to talents, there is always a sense of superiority brought about by the emperor's position inadvertently.

Let him know that he has not done many things properly, and he will not think about making amends.

In his opinion, I am the emperor, and you ministers should understand me more. If I can say a soft word, it will be very honorable. After all, the emperor needs dignity and cannot admit his mistakes like before.

"Don't think about this matter, and it's best not to ask for it."

"Do what you have to do, and others will do it for you."

"I won't help you get it either."

"But, that thing is not good for the military"

Emperor Zhaowu was still a little unwilling.

"So what? The Yu Dynasty didn't have that thing in the past, so was it inferior militarily?"

"You are the emperor of the Yu Dynasty. How to strengthen the military of the Yu Dynasty is what you, the emperor, have to do, rather than others doing it for you."

"Since that girl returned to the capital, she has done a lot for the Yu Dynasty, but she has not received the respect and treatment she deserves. Don't you feel that you are in the wrong on this point?"

After being scolded again, Emperor Zhaowu's face turned green and red, and in the end he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Father, the lesson is correct. It was my son who did something wrong. I will definitely correct him in the future."

"Don't be anxious about everything. Although that girl didn't say anything, she is probably very resentful towards you in her heart. Put your thoughts away first, lest they backfire later."

"You should be lucky that your sister's family loves her very much. With this relationship, there is still some room for maneuver."
