Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 384; Chat

To be honest, Prince Wen Ruo never thought that one day he would be close to that position.

In his consciousness all along, that position belonged to his brother, and as his brother, all he had to do was to assist him.

Let’s work together to develop Yu Dynasty even better in the future.

As for talking about the prince, or the throne, he believed that he did not have that ability.

Therefore, when he heard Huo Junyao's question, he almost didn't think too much, and his face immediately showed unconfidence.

"I never thought about that position, and I also knew that I didn't have the ability to sit in that position, let alone do it well."

Seeing him like this, Huo Junyao smiled.

"How do you know you're not good if you haven't tried?"

"Sit down first. I happen to be free today. Let's have a good chat."

After hearing her words, Prince Wenruo walked to the opposite side of the tea table and sat down. Huo Junyao poured him a cup of tea.

"How much do you know about what your prince brother did?"

Hearing this, Prince Wenruo's expression changed slightly. He was naturally aware of the rumors outside. After all, he held the position of deposed prince, and it was always necessary to reveal some of the prince's crimes, so that the deposed prince could be successfully succeeded.

Of course, he also knew that much of the information that could be published outside had been modified.

After all, the royal family also needs face. Even if it is known that the prince is in charge of many things, the person who actually withdraws and takes the blame will definitely not be the prince.

Most of the names attached to the prince are specious, and they are as much attributed to the prince's laxity in his duties as to his subordinates, rather than to the prince's behavior.

Just like this human trafficking in the suburbs of Beijing, the court knew that the prince was in charge, but what was announced to the outside world was that the officials in the East Palace were doing whatever they wanted by taking advantage of the prince's status, and that the prince was not strict with his subordinates.

After all, this kind of crime cannot be directly thrown at the prince. It is related to the royal face and prestige.

"Do you think a person who is willing to attack innocent people for money can continue to sit in that position?"

"Now he can win over courtiers to do such unscrupulous things just to make money."

"Then one day in the future, when he ascends to that position and needs money, what will he do?"

"Now that he is suppressed by your father, he will have more or less consideration. Even so, he can be bold enough to do these things in the suburbs of Beijing. So what if there is no suppression by your father?"

A dynasty needs to spend money on many things, and the prince is not a capable person.

If such a person is in power, he will make a good situation miserable.

By then, money will be needed everywhere, so given the prince's virtue, he will definitely do everything possible to squeeze and harm the people.

If the king of a country reaches this point, the problem will be serious. If this guy lives a little longer, I am afraid that the dynasty will collapse directly.

If you are lucky, it is short-lived, and the successor has some ability, maybe the dynasty can survive for a while.

Prince Wenruo is also a very knowledgeable person. When he heard Huo Junyao's words, even if he couldn't think too comprehensively, he could still get a glimpse of them. Naturally, he knew in his heart that the prince was indeed not a good person and that he was indeed not qualified for this position.

But, after all, he is his brother from the same mother. The age difference between the two brothers is not too big. This brother has been very good to him since he was a child, and the relationship between the two brothers is really very good.

Even though he knew some of the prince's problems, he would always feel sorry for his brother if he was asked to take over the position.

"The prince has finished speaking, let's talk about King Qi."

"Maybe you think he is very powerful, but he is indeed the least likely person among your three royal brothers to ascend to that position."

Hearing this, Prince Wenruo was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said, "Isn't it possible? Brother Qi Wang is very powerful, very capable, and has a reputation as a virtuous person. How come he is the least likely to rise to the top?"

For his three brothers, in the eyes of Prince Wen Ruo, who had no idea about the position of crown prince, they were all very powerful.

The King of Qi is the oldest and the best to work in the court. He has done many things that benefit the country and the people. He is very capable and has a good reputation.

After he heard that the crown prince's position had been abolished, his first guess was that Brother Qi Wang would definitely take the throne. Even if there was Brother Chu, his choice was more inclined to Brother Qi.

Firstly, the King of Qi was very capable, and secondly, he was the eldest son of the emperor. Although he was only a concubine, there were no rules in the Yu Dynasty that required a direct descendant.

Not only his imperial grandfather nor his father, neither of them said that they had to establish a direct descendant. Everything depends on ability and suitability.

This idea is actually a good one, but it is also quite troublesome. It can easily lead to other people who are also princes having some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Although they all want to cast a wide net to find the most suitable heir, this will also make things very complicated.

Let's talk about the prince, King Qi and King Chu. If the attitude of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were not to give priority to the worthy, then even if the King of Qi and the King of Chu were careful, they would not blatantly target the prince.

And without their persecution, the prince would not have become what he is now.

It can be said that the main reason why the prince has reached this stage is because the king of Qi and the king of Chu are too tight, and he himself is not a very capable person.

That's why he is always in a panic. In order to secure his position, he will try his best to do what he thinks.

The position of prince is the most embarrassing position.

If you do more or less, others will have something to say.

First, let’s talk about doing too many things, just like the deposed prince, who keeps trying to strengthen himself, and then makes too many mistakes. This is because he has a broad-minded father like Emperor Zhaowu.

If he met a jealous and jealous emperor, the prince would give him a heavy slap in the face even if the prince of Qi and Chu came forward to win over the courtiers.

What are you doing?
I am still in the prime of life, and you are just a prince and you are recruiting troops. What, you can’t wait to take over?
It can be said that Emperor Zhaowu was very considerate and really had feelings for the prince as his son by being able to ignore him all the time and let the prince do what he wanted.

Then there is the matter of being a junior. As a prince, sitting in this position also bears a lot of responsibilities. Don’t think that just doing nothing is enough. You are the prince, and if you don’t do some things, how will the emperor think about it? Do you think it's embarrassing for you?

And what about the courtiers? A prince who does not do anything will make people think that the successor is not good, and will not be good for future development, etc.

This is also the reason why, throughout the ages, most princes have not died well.
