Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 374; Resignation

"I dare not comment on the emperor's decision."

Don't look at the emperor saying that it was just family chatting at this time, but it also depends on what the conversation is about.

This is a major matter for the crown prince. How dare he, as a minister, say it openly?

"Then what do you think of the prince?"

Emperor Zhaowu also saw Shen Huan's taboo, but instead of forcing it, he changed his explanation.

"His Royal Highness, you were very smart when you were young, but as you get older, your thoughts become more serious, and there are many more people around you."

"It's inevitable that something will go wrong."

His words directly linked to his childhood intelligence, which made it clear that the prince was generous before, but now he is very ordinary. With more people around him, he has more messy thoughts.

It is tantamount to saying that His Highness the Crown Prince is soft-hearted, has no opinions of his own, and is too easily influenced by others.

Such a person would not be well regarded even in an ordinary family, let alone a country's crown prince and future emperor.

As an emperor, if everything will be influenced by the people around him and he has no independent opinion, then what is the use of being an emperor?

Shen Huan's answer was tantamount to directly denying the prince, and it was a disguised answer to Emperor Zhaowu's previous question.

"Yes."

"The child is a good child, but he is too kind and has a soft ear."

"He does not have the ambition and ambition that a prince should have, nor does he have the foresight of a prince."

"Although the people around him have some talents, their vision is limited. They only see some things with their own eyes, but they ignore what the prince's vision should be."

"The prince himself has no idea. It is really not suitable to continue to stay in this position."

As a prince, if you don't have any opinions of your own, you are just a puppet. Moreover, as a prince and a future king, it is really difficult for him to be a dignified person if he only makes petty calculations all day long.

Regardless of whether he is the prince or the king, the scenery he sees is different from that of ordinary people. However, the prince listens to the advice of those who have low vision. He has no vision of his own and behaves randomly. It is really too embarrassing. point.

Let's just say that if someone else had done what happened this time, it would never have caused such a big fuss, at least there wouldn't have been chaos all over the country.

But the prince is different. He represents the royal family. In addition, the weapons supervisor represents the court. Now the matter becomes big.

The prince was afraid that he only saw the advantages at that time. As for the disadvantages, he probably just thought that he would be reprimanded at most and didn't take it too seriously.

This is the gap in vision and pattern, or self-righteousness, not taking others into consideration at all.

As a result, the capital side was not able to get away with it, but someone took action, causing shock throughout the country.

"What do you think of King Qi?"

Emperor Zhaowu spoke again.

As soon as these words came out, Shen Huan understood in his heart that Emperor Zhaowu was testing him.

"The King of Qi is old, has extraordinary knowledge, and has good skills in everything he does. He is a very good prince."

"It's really very skillful, a little too ruthless."

Emperor Zhaowu nodded, but did not spend more time on King Qi.

After all, from the moment he knew that the fire was planned by King Qi behind him, he had already sentenced King Qi to death in his heart. King Qi would never have the chance to ascend to the position of crown prince in this life, let alone become the king. If such a person were to rise to power, with his ruthless methods, I'm afraid none of his brothers would end well.

Especially the two people who had always been at odds with him were the Crown Prince and the King of Chu.

"Where is King Chu? What do you think?"

"His abilities are not bad, and he is also a little clever."

Shen Huan was blunt.

Judging from the current performance, the King of Chu is slightly better than the Prince. Although he has some abilities and some cleverness, these alone are not enough.

Moreover, the maternal power behind King Chu was not a peaceful one, and it was impossible for the emperor not to consider this.

After all, there have been many things related to the dictatorship of foreign relatives in ancient times, and King Chu has a very good feeling for Princess Chu, so it is impossible for the emperor not to consider these things.

"Then we won't establish a crown prince?"

After saying this, Shen Huan understood that Emperor Zhaowu was determined to depose the prince. Although he had guessed it, he was still a little unsure until the emperor was really sure.

Especially since he just asked King Qi and King Chu one after another, this will make people feel like they are making comparisons.

But it is different now.

"I feel that the emperor is in his prime, so there is no need to rush. Moreover, the position of the prince can be regarded as the source of turmoil, especially the current situation in our Yu Dynasty."

"The kings of Qi and Chu are constantly competing. It would be inappropriate to put anyone in the position. It will definitely cause turmoil. It is better to just leave it vacant."

Shen Huan knew very well who the emperor had chosen.

Regardless of the fact that he did not mention Prince Wenruo, he was actually protecting him. If he mentioned him, it would mean that he had gained some status in the emperor's mind. Prince Wenruo is still too young now. If this happens to King Qi Chu, Wang knew that the matter was not easy to handle.

Moreover, the emperor's question about whether to establish a crown prince at this time also shows that he wants to keep this position until Prince Wenruo grows up and can take charge of his own affairs, and it will fall directly on him.

Prince Wenruo is a legitimate son, and after the prince is deposed, he will definitely not have another chance. As the second legitimate prince, it is justifiable for Prince Wenruo to ascend to the throne. No one can fault him. As long as he grows up and has a certain power, With the emperor's support, even if King Qi and King Chu made a fuss, there was nothing he could do.

"Well, I have to think about this matter carefully. You should also take a good rest at home during this period."

Emperor Zhaowu did not arrange a position for Shen Huan. Shen Huan did not want to join the court at this time, so he still remained as the Duke of Zhao and remained at ease.

During the discussion here, the news that Shen Huan resigned from the crown prince's post spread like wings.

"This old guy is quite smart. It seems that the court will be shocked tomorrow."

When Fang Qiao heard the news, he was not surprised at all. At the same time, he was even more sure that the position of the prince could not be saved.

When Huo Jingzhi heard the news, he didn't show any signs and remained calm and calm.

As if nothing was any of his business.

But Shen Huan's resignation caused quite a stir in the capital, among which many smart people guessed something, such as the heat under the hands of King Qi and King Chu.

But they all felt that it was not enough, and they should give a strong dose of medicine to make sure everything was safe.

No, many people started writing memorials that day, planning to light a fire at the court meeting tomorrow.

The nobles had been prepared long ago. Although Huo Junyao did not ask them, they all guessed something as soon as the news from various places spread. At this time, they naturally had to show off.

After all, nowadays, most of everyone's interests are tied together and belong to their own family, not to other members of the noble family. It is definitely a cunning way to stick together to protect one's shortcomings.
