Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 372; Going Narrow
Sure enough, after hearing Gao Fu's words, Emperor Zhaowu had a mocking smile on his face.

"Yes, this is not Zhao De's reason."

"If some people didn't know the importance of the situation, things like this wouldn't happen."

Some people here naturally refer to the prince.

In fact, the prince already knew it when he first arranged for someone to go to the hot spring villa to ask for a meeting with Huo Junyao.

Especially when the person who made the arrangement was Zhou Tong under the command of the East Palace, Emperor Zhaowu was completely disappointed with the prince.

He also guessed the prince's plan. On the one hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to stabilize his position, and on the other hand, he wanted to master homemade bombs.

He didn't care about the former, and even thought that the prince had some brains. Putting aside all the nonsense, this plan was indeed quite perfect, especially at this time when he was about to attack the Turks.

That is a great achievement. If done well, it will directly make his position as the crown prince extremely stable. Even if he wants to depose the crown prince, it will not be easy to do.

Of course, this is without talking about all the messy factors, but what about the prince?
He only saw the benefits, not whether it was feasible or not.

He had caused such trouble to others before, but he still had the nerve to talk to others, and he only sent one person there.

This way of handling it is simply bullshit.

At this point, you are still high and mighty. Shouldn't it be you, the prince, who will go there in person?

Once he goes there in person, apologizes sincerely, and gives an accurate attitude, even if the negotiation is not successful, the relationship can be eased to some extent. In the future, it will be gradually operated, and the relationship will be eased to a certain extent. other.

As for the second point, he is a prince who comes to visit in person. With this status here, at least he will not be turned away directly like Zhou Tong. Although it is a bit bad to rely on status, at least he can see people. .

But what about the prince? Arrange for someone to go there, with the name of Dong Gong, do you think they will be afraid?

It goes without saying that there is no result. If you can't get in through the door, what's the point?
Later, he felt that there was something wrong with the prince.

If you don’t meet anyone for the first time, can you make a change and come to the door to talk in person?
As a result, he simply didn't go, and instead made people spread those random rumors. Even before that, he was afraid that the weapons supervisor would be involved.

Doesn't this tell others blatantly that Donggong is behind the operation?
Not to mention, bringing the weapons supervisor with him is equivalent to bringing him with the imperial court. He wants to use the imperial court to suppress Princess Zhaode.

This time the nature is different again.

If it was just the East Palace, it could be said that the prince and her had some personal grudges, but when the court was involved, it was different.

If the imperial court takes the lead in suppressing it, isn't this equivalent to telling others that the imperial court is going to take action against the Hot Spring Villa?

I don’t even think about how many people are struggling to make a living under the name of Hot Spring Villa. If your court takes action against Hot Spring Villa, it would be equivalent to taking action against so many people. It would be strange if they don’t make a fuss.

Look, not only will the people from all over the country make a fuss, there will also be many people popping up at tomorrow's court meeting. Especially those guys from the noble clan, now they all have quite a lot of business dealings with the Hot Spring Villa, and they all make a lot of money, and they are still making money very steadily, which is much better than before.

They will never give up on this huge money-spinner, and they will never allow anyone to destroy it.

In addition to the courtiers such as the gentry and the royal family, I am afraid they will also make trouble.

During this period, Emperor Zhaowu made a lot of money from the internal funds due to the dividends from the hot spring villa. The internal funds were the purses of the royal family members. In the past, the Yu Dynasty was poor, and the internal funds did not have much money. The royal family members lived their lives. It’s a bit hard to get, haha.

Now it is not easy to have such a profitable business. Every month the salary of the royal family members has increased, and the life is much better than before.

If the prince makes such a fuss, doesn't it mean that they will end their good life?
It's strange that these people are happy.

With this step, the prince first lost his prestige in the eyes of the people, and then the civil servants and nobles in the temple, let alone the nobles, would inevitably follow the hot spring villa.

The King of Qi and the King of Chu also have many people under their command. They will definitely step on such a good opportunity, and the prince will inevitably lose a large number of supporters.

Next is Duke Ji's Mansion, which is a very important figure in the noble group, as well as Fang Qiao and Ning Guogong, they are all top-notch nobles.

There are many nobles who stand with them. Now Princess Zhaode has taken action. He knows very well that Duke Ji will never let go of this opportunity and will definitely stand up and step on the prince.

He was very clear about what happened back then. Ji Guogong definitely had a knot in his heart. Although he would not rebel yet, he definitely wanted to depose the prince or prevent the prince from ascending to the throne. After all, if the prince ascended to the throne, their life would definitely be difficult. .

He knew all this, but he was not angry at all. After all, in his opinion at the time, if the prince wanted to be in power, these were things he should have to face. It would be good to succeed, but if he could not succeed, he could only say If there is insufficient ability, there is no use for such a person to go up.

Although he appointed the crown prince as soon as he ascended the throne, he knew very well in his heart that the crown prince was just a title. If it was really inappropriate, he would not let the crown prince ascend in the end.

He was indeed disappointed with some of the prince's performance at that time, and many shortcomings were exposed, so he did not pay attention to the little thoughts in Duke Ji's heart.

Apart from these people, this time even the prince's royal family members began to be dissatisfied with him.

It can be said that the prince's step directly brought all his roads to an end.

Princess Zhaode involves too many interests and too many people. Many people will not just watch something happen to her, because once something happens, many people will lose a lot of interests.

This includes himself. As for whether he is afraid of such a terrifying force as Princess Zhaode?
Naturally, I am afraid, but I am also relieved.

First of all, although Princess Zhaode is powerful, she never gets close to the court officials. Even the shareholders of the Hot Spring Villa, she does not have too much contact, let alone reach out to the court.

All she does is business.

Although her power would make the imperial court fearful, at present, Princess Zhaode had no intention of entering the imperial court or getting involved with the imperial court. Emperor Zhaowu was very satisfied with this point.

She just focused on doing business to make money and live her own stable life, so what if she was powerful?
The imperial court can get very huge benefits, and he himself can also get huge benefits. They don't cause him trouble, and they even pull those troublesome nobles to correct themselves.
