Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 391; Speculation

"Impossible, how could he."

In Da'an Palace, when the Supreme Emperor heard what Princess Ningyang said, his old face showed disbelief.

Nowadays, the Supreme Emperor is getting older, his body and bones are getting worse day by day, and he rarely leaves the palace.

More than a year ago, the eunuch who had served him for many years also died of illness. Now the Supreme Emperor spends his old age in secret in Da'an Palace, rarely interfering with outside affairs.

So he wasn't too clear about what happened in the capital some time ago. He only heard the palace people talking about it occasionally, but he didn't pay attention to it.

After all, the Yu Dynasty is now prosperous in the hands of his second son. He is very satisfied with this and is too lazy to ask about those messy things.

Now, the only thing he can still care about in his heart is probably his eldest son's only bloodline - King Qin.

Just now, the eldest princess Ningyang actually said that there was something strange happening on King Qin's side, and she was also involved in the matter of deposing the prince.

The Supreme Emperor did not believe this at all. He knew King Qin best, the eldest grandson. He had been a peaceful person for so many years, but he had never heard of any problems with him.

"Yao Yao heard this news. You also know that Yaoyao's business is spread all over the world and she can receive a lot of news. She is not a person who talks nonsense. How could she be joking about this matter?"

After all, his status was embarrassing and he couldn't do many things. He gave up his rights in the fiefdom to protect himself, but Prince Qin's Mansion was his territory. If he couldn't even control this, I'm afraid that Prince Qin's Mansion would have It fell.

"Father, I still trust King Qin in this matter. It must be that Princess Qin's family has some small thoughts. Don't worry, he is my eldest brother's only bloodline. I will not do anything to him no matter what."

Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor went to the Imperial Study Room to find Emperor Zhaowu, and asked him straightforwardly without any hesitation.

"It's pretty good. I don't know how much better it is than when it was first built."

Now, if he is suddenly told that the other party has changed, how can he believe it?
"Father, can I lie to you about such a thing?"

Although the Supreme Emperor is old, as a former emperor, how could he not see some twists and turns in this?
It is true that Princess Qin was in charge of this matter from beginning to end, and there was no trace of Prince Qin at all.

"No, I have to ask about this."

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, the Supreme Emperor took Princess Ningyang back to Da'an Palace.

However, he didn't believe that King Qin could really be unaware of Princess Qin's actions?
He knew the abilities of this eldest grandson best. Even though he seemed to have no rights in the fief, if he didn't even know what was going on in Prince Qin's palace, it was unlikely that he would be able to stay in the fief for so many years.

Princess Ningyang was slightly startled by this sudden word without beginning or end.

The Supreme Emperor still couldn't believe what Princess Ningyang said.

"Is the current Yu Dynasty not good?"

Seeing him saying the same thing, the Supreme Emperor was silent for a long time, then stood up and said, "Investigate carefully and remember your words. He is your eldest brother's only bloodline. Father doesn't want to see him go to a dead end."

Seeing his old father, who was already in his twilight years, Emperor Zhaowu was silent for a long time before he spoke and told the story in detail.

"Yes, your second brother has done a very good job as the emperor. My father is very satisfied. He asked Yu Chao to hand it over to him. My father has no regrets at all."

"But tell me, why is he still doing this? Doesn't he know how costly it will be?"

If the emperor has no virtue, forget it if you have your mind. The key is that the emperor is doing a good job and the people of the country are living well. Under such circumstances, you must be careful. This is to make the good Yu Dynasty better. chaos. The Emperor would not allow this under any circumstances, even if this person was his most beloved and most guilty grandson, he would not agree.

"Father, you don't have to think too much, he may just be bewitched by some people."

Some of the people here are naturally Princess Zhao of Qin.

Speaking of the Zhao family, although they have a good reputation, they are also very ambitious. They were also famous for a while in the previous dynasty, but later there was a gap in talent.

The current leader of the Zhao family is a relatively mediocre person, but he is honest and settled, knows his own abilities, and never thinks too much about messy things.

Because of this self-awareness, he is quite popular in the capital circles.

But something was wrong with his sons, namely Princess Qin's brothers. They were all extremely ambitious and had high ambitions but low abilities.

Because Princess Qin joined Prince Qin's palace earlier, the emperor arranged some seats for these people. They are not very important, but they are still considered official positions. After all, for many poor families, this is a great benefit.

Moreover, this was proposed by the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Zhaowu, and the meaning was very obvious, that is, he wanted to tell others that they still valued King Qin.

It's just that these people seemed a little dissatisfied with Emperor Zhaowu's arrangements and felt that they were suitable for better and more important positions.

To put it bluntly, I want to have some real power.

In fact, these things had already occurred a few years ago, but they had not spread and were only talked about privately in circles.

Princess Ningyang also learned about it from her eldest daughter, Princess Qingyang. I remember she said at the time that if the Zhao family was smart enough, they would be able to live in peace and prosperity like this.

As long as King Qin doesn't mess around, his status, although embarrassing, is not a life-saving talisman.

If Emperor Zhaowu's lineage touches King Qin for no reason, he will inevitably be criticized. Therefore, for the sake of the reputation of the royal family, as long as King Qin does not mess around, Emperor Zhaowu will always treat him well.

There is absolutely no problem in ensuring his wealth for the rest of his life, and although the Zhao family doesn't look good now, relying on this relationship, as long as they can make some achievements, there is no chance of improvement.

After all, this stability has been guaranteed, and it only requires step-by-step accumulation.

But the second generation of the Zhao family is obviously not self-aware.

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and told Princess Ningyang to step back.

As for what she said about bewitching, there may be some, but if King Qin didn't have such thoughts, how could he be easily bewitched?
Even if something doesn't happen, the Supreme Emperor can still see some signs of it.

Now he just hopes that his eldest grandson will not be stupid and do anything treacherous.

After leaving the palace, the eldest princess Ningyang did not rush out of the city. Instead, she went back to the eldest princess's mansion. Huo Jingzhi was not at the Yamen today, but was writing and drawing at home.

He was also quite surprised when he heard from his servant that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was back.

"Madam, why are you back today free? What happened?"

Princess Ningyang didn't hide anything and told the story directly.

"I hear what Yaoyao means. I'm afraid the King of Qin also had private instructions. Do you think he wants to compete for that position?"
