Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 385; Discussion

"Prince Qi may have some good abilities, but his character is not that good."

Huo Junyao didn't have a good impression of King Qi.

Although this guy pretends to be a bitch on the outside and has gained some good reputation, he is not a good guy on the inside.

Think about what happened not long after she returned to the capital.

The attitude of this guy who came to her hot spring resort for the sake of the papermaking workshop.

It was really ugly to look at someone who looked down on her but also wanted what she had in her hands.

This kind of person only has interests in his eyes. The greater the interests he faces, the tougher his attitude becomes, trying to rely on his own power to win over the other party and gather the interests.

And because of his status, he can often achieve very good results. After receiving benefits, he will also take great care of the other person. In his words, he uses benefits to repay status. This is why there are so many people around him. human reasons.

Needless to say, he is indeed nice to the people in his camp, but his appearance is somewhat ugly.

Taking other people's interests and binding them to his ship seems to give others status, but why not take other people's interests and cultivate people who can help him?
Although such an approach can gather a lot of people around him, this is all based on the fact that his status has always been stable.

I have no choice, I can't afford to provoke him, I have to suffer this loss in order to save my life.

But one day King Qi loses power, and the backlash he will suffer will be very strong.

After all, no one is a fool. Some people may be willing to accept his approach, but they will have some grudges in their hearts.

If such a person can become an emperor, then he may be able to live a stable life. If not, there is only death waiting for him.

Obviously he knew this himself, so he wanted the position of prince very urgently, just to maintain this advantage. As long as he held the position for another day, the people under his command would not rebel.

"I have also heard about some of the things that Brother Qi Wang did. Although it is not good, it is still a way."

It was indeed very unkind for King Qi to do this, but as a member of the royal family, there was nothing he could do like this.

It can only be said that his methods are rather dirty. After all, facing that position, who is a thoughtful prince who will not do anything?

Although Prince Wen Ruo doesn't like this method very much, he won't be too disgusted with it. After all, it is also a method.

At least those who followed him got a good status, and the life of the whole family was good.

This approach has nothing to do with right or wrong.

"Indeed, on this point, his methods are quite clever, but this is also a disguised form of killing the goose that lays the egg."

"He has laid a lot of trouble for himself. Maybe he can suppress it for a while, but who can be sure that he can suppress it for the rest of his life?"

"There is a lot of chaos in the court. With such a group of thoughtful people, although they dare not do anything openly, there will definitely be no shortage of small tricks secretly."

"A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an anthill. Who can say clearly whether one day it will happen?"

Hearing this, Prince Wen Ruo pondered for a moment and nodded, "My cousin is right, although this method is good, it will also cause a lot of troubles. But based on this alone, it shouldn't make him miss that position, right? "

Although Huo Junyao's analysis was good, this alone was not enough to make King Qi miss out. After all, there are many thoughtful people in this court. Even in today's court, aren't there still many people who are secretly dissatisfied with his father?
The most powerful representative among them is the gentry group.

Therefore, based on this alone, King Qi is not enough to be excluded.

"Yes, this alone is not enough, but there is another day, and the most important point is that King Qi has no people in his heart."

"You should know what your father has always stood for."

Wen Ruo nodded.

"The people are water, and the king is the boat. The water can carry the boat but also capsize it."

"Your father has done a very good job in this regard. The most important thing in a country is the people. Don't think that the court is powerful. No matter how powerful the court is, the number of people is only that small."

"What if a country's army has millions of people? It's not enough compared to the tens of millions of people."

"Suppression by force can only be suppressed for a while. Only when the people are united can long-term peace and stability be achieved."

Prince Wenruo also agreed with this. In the past, he might not have understood why those unarmed people had such powerful energy.

But after coming to Hot Spring Villa to study, he came into contact with more people and heard more things. He also understood that when these seemingly defenseless people reached a certain level, their ability to explode was extremely huge.

It was far beyond what an imperial army could contend with.

In addition, the Yu Dynasty was not established for too long. Although he did not experience the war in the last years of the previous dynasty, there were many people who experienced that period during this period.

The accuracy of the things he has heard is also very high. He can see the leopard from the inside, and naturally he can also know the abilities of some people.

"Brother Qi Wang, isn't he known as a virtuous man? Why do you say he doesn't have the common people in his heart?"

Prince Wen Ruo couldn't figure this out. After all, many of these virtuous names are the attitude of the people. If you treat the people well, the people will naturally help you speak up.

For a man with a virtuous reputation, Huo Junyao actually said that he had no common people in his heart. Isn't this a bit contradictory?
"Xian Ming?"

With a sneer, Huo Junyao continued; "How did he get his reputation? Have you ever heard of any major things he did for the people? It's just some innocuous things like giving out porridge. Do you think his actions like this are... Is it proportional to his reputation?"

There are many officials under King Qi, and what these scholars are best at is writing short compositions.

It's obviously a trivial thing, let's just say giving out porridge. Every year, who among the big households with a little bit of conscience in various places hasn't done this?
It is undeniable that this is indeed a good thing, and it is normal to have some good reputation, but what about King Qi?
He was just a porridge giver, but he used the people under his command to write short essays and publicize his story as if he had saved many people in the world.

Although there is no distinction between doing good deeds, big or small, if you do it with a purpose from the beginning, it is not a pure good deed, especially if you do a small essay later, is this still a good deed?
Prince Wenruo pondered for a moment, carefully recalling some of the rumors he had heard, and felt that what his brother did was indeed not proportional to his income.

Especially when compared with the person in front of him, his imperial brother's sage name is simply embarrassing.

In his opinion, what Princess Zhaode Princess Huo Junyao did was a real good deed, not to mention the food she contributed.

Just talking about this hot spring resort, how many good people has she supported? Although many people here also help her with work, do you think this is not a good deed?

Why has no one done this before? There are obviously many rich people in the capital, but how many people have done this like her in the past?
