Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 389; Speculation

The existence of King Qin is indeed very embarrassing for the current Yu Dynasty.

Not only were his cousins ​​of the same generation afraid of him, but even Emperor Zhaowu actually had this thorn in his heart.

After all, according to the original succession, the position of emperor of the Yu Dynasty should belong to the King of Qin. However, because the Yu Dynasty first met and the King of Qin was still young, the Yu Dynasty needed a more capable monarch at that time.

At that time, Emperor Zhaowu, who had great achievements in both civil and military affairs, was the most suitable for the Yu Dynasty at that time, so the Supreme Emperor chose Emperor Zhaowu to ascend the throne.

"You said that at that time, since the Supreme Emperor was still fine, why did he suddenly abdicate and let the current Emperor take the throne?"

This is something Huo Junyao has always been confused about.

According to her understanding of the Supreme Emperor, she thought this emperor was very powerful and had a unique vision.

His physical condition at that time was not too bad, and he could sit on the throne for a few more years, and directly take over the imperial power when King Qin grew up.

However, he did not choose King Qin, but directly transferred the throne from his eldest son to his second son.

Princess Ningyang obviously didn't believe her answer. After thinking for a moment, she frowned and asked, "Is there something going on with King Qin?"

"This slave doesn't know too well."

He couldn't help but know that such an approach would make King Qin's position very embarrassing.

Seeing her like this, Huo Junyao didn't hide anything, so she told some things she knew.

Huo Junyao first pushed the matcha cake on the side in front of Huo Xiao, then turned to look at Princess Ningyang and asked why the Supreme Emperor abdicated the throne early, why he did not sit for a few years and then directly passed the throne to King Qin when he grew up. .

"Mom, you're here. Come and sit down. I have something to ask you."

Judging from the great emperor's love and care for his eldest grandson, his behavior is really puzzling.

It is even said that it may put King Qin in danger.

Of course, she must be one of the insiders. After all, when the Supreme Emperor was still on the throne, her status was also very high.

Princess Ningyang was a little confused, but she still led Huo Xiao to the tea table and sat down.

"Is there still this?"

"It's nothing, I was just bored and chatting with Wang Xia, and I felt quite curious."

Princess Ningyang was even more confused. Not many people knew about these things nowadays.

As soon as Wang Xia finished speaking, Princess Ningyang walked in from outside with Huo Xiao.

He also explained some things that he couldn’t figure out just now.

"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

"what's the topic?"

There were changes in Prince Qin's palace, and he was also closely connected with people in the capital. This matter was no small matter.

Princess Ningyang's expression suddenly became serious.

"Tell me in detail." Huo Junyao asked Wang Xia to tell him everything he had investigated.

"Now that the crown prince's position is vacant, the Qin Palace's actions, regardless of whether there is King Qin's instruction or not, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle."

"If one thing goes wrong, many people will be affected. I just want to understand the situation back then and then figure out how to avoid this big trouble. You also know that I have some business dealings with King Qin."

Princess Ningyang was silent for a long time and said, "You are right, whether Prince Qin knows about this or not, it will cause quite a stir."

"What's going on with Princess Qin? She's been married to Prince Qin's house for so long. Don't you know that the situation in Prince Qin's house is very embarrassing?"

"You dare to interfere in the deposed prince's affairs. You are simply seeking death."

She was very aware of King Qin's situation. Although it seemed that nothing had happened these years, she knew very well that the people in the palace had never forgotten him.

It was just because the Supreme Emperor was still there and King Qin had his duty that no one touched him and he was allowed to live a pleasant life.

As long as the Supreme Emperor is not around, and someone takes a slight stab at the embarrassment of his status, I am afraid that Emperor Zhaowu will reduce the cost of the Qin Palace.

After all, King Qin was the direct descendant of the lineage and the most qualified successor to the throne. This qualification was even higher than that of Emperor Zhaowu.

As an emperor, even though Emperor Zhaowu had a good heart, he was not generous when it came to issues that touched the bottom line.

Otherwise, why has the King of Qin been just an idle prince for so many years without any official position? Even if it is his fief, the court will arrange officials to deal with it, and he only needs to collect money every month.

He was not allowed to touch even the slightest bit of power, and even the fiefdom had to be strictly guarded.

Just from this attitude, it is enough to see Emperor Zhaowu's resentment and guard against King Qin.

Now that Princess Qin actually dares to get involved in the matter of deposing the crown prince, I'm afraid that the current Prince Qin's palace has been targeted by the emperor.

"Mom, what happened back then?"

Hearing her ask again, Princess Ningyang slowly answered: "Actually, the throne was not given away by the Supreme Emperor. As you might guess, the Supreme Emperor at that time planned to cultivate King Qin for a few years, and then directly Pass it to him."

"Even your uncle has been arranged to go to Junfan."

"But in the end it was Prince Yide who took the initiative and asked your uncle to succeed him."

"As for what Prince Yide told the Emperor at that time, I don't know. I remember that Prince Yide was lying on the bed with only the Emperor beside him. After one night, Prince Yide passed away because there was a funeral. , so your uncle didn’t go to join the feudal clan.”

"After the funeral of Prince Yide was completed, the Supreme Emperor suddenly issued an edict saying that he suffered from frequent injuries to his body and bones, but he passed the throne to your uncle in just over ten days."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao became even more curious. What did Prince Yide say to the Supreme Emperor?
"Did the emperor have any thoughts at that time? Prince Yide was worried that if he followed the emperor's original plan, King Qin would be in danger?"

She was not making random guesses. The emperor at that time was surrounded by many followers.

The civil servants include Fang Qiao, Shen Huan and her father, and there are even more military generals, such as Li Jiujun, Ning Guogong, Cao Guogong, etc.
These are all first-class capable people.

And these people followed the emperor at that time, didn't they ever think about gaining the merit of following the dragon?

I am afraid that I have some such thoughts in my heart. Let’s talk about the emperor at that time. He has been running around to fight since he raised his army. His own merits are not good, and his ability in war is inferior to that of Li Jiujun, the military god of the Yu Dynasty. Not to mention too much.

For such a person with great strategies, great achievements, and many talented ministers of cultural relics around him, if the opportunity is in front of him, is he really willing to succumb to others?
Prince Yide probably saw something, so he proposed to let him succeed to the throne, so as to save the life of his only son.
