Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 406; Night Talk

As the emperor of a country, he not only has to consider the affairs of his own reign, but also the affairs of his future successors.

If he cultivated such a behemoth while he was in power, how should his successor check and balance him?

If the successor wants to touch her, in the face of such a terrifying force, can the royal family withstand the chaos?

If the day comes and the Yu Dynasty is in chaos because of this, how will he be viewed by the world as someone who single-handedly allowed such a behemoth to happen?

He didn't want to be known as a sinner of the Yu Dynasty after his death, which he would never allow.

He couldn't move or let it go, which gave him a headache. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a good way, so he could only let it go temporarily. However, he decided to keep a closer eye on Huo Junyao. If there was any trouble, , so that he can prepare in advance.

"I have been thinking about this for a while."

"Oh? Tell me."

Emperor Zhaowu immediately became interested.

"From the current point of view, Zhaode's existence has no harm at all, whether it is for the Yu Dynasty court, the people, or even the royal family."

"Although she is very powerful and has spread all over the country, she is very measured and will never interfere with the court. In this regard, I think she has done a good job, and she is also showing her attitude."

"So I feel that the emperor can trust her."

Emperor Zhaowu did not deny this at all. Huo Junyao felt the most about the benefits of the Yu Dynasty as an emperor, and Huo Junyao was also very sensible. Emperor Zhaowu was very satisfied with this.

"So, the emperor should be worried about the future, is he afraid that the tail will not fall off?"

"Yes."

Emperor Zhaowu did not deny it, and this was indeed the key to his worries.

"There is indeed such a risk, but judging from the current situation, anyone who touches her will suffer backlash."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about the clan members of our royal family. I'm afraid they will be the first to object."

"Huh? What do you say?"

Queen Shen's words made Emperor Zhaowu frown a little. To be honest, the royal family members were not in his consideration. What he was really worried about was the gentry and the people of the world. The former was easy to say. They themselves were a community of interests. If Huo Junyao was touched, it would definitely be damaged. to their interests.

Judging from the knowledge of past dealings, these nobles will definitely not do nothing.

In recent years, with the establishment of the company, the nobles have also settled down. Whether it is the court or the local area, the nobles are not acting like monsters. They can barely be called Shanghai Yanheqing. He is very satisfied with this.

Even the previous eagerness to clean up the nobles has been put aside a lot. After all, although the existence of the nobles is a bit troublesome for him, the benefits are also the same.

If he wants to govern the world, he needs the help of the nobles. As long as they don't act like monsters like they are now, he has no reason to deal with them and make the world a mess. Therefore, this was the reason why he did not dare to touch Huo Junyao, even if it was to suppress her, the nobles would never sit idly by.

This is the first point of worry, then the second and most important point of worry is the people of the world.

The emergence of the company has greatly improved the lives of many people, and some people who have not participated yet have hope. After all, the company will recruit people every time it opens a workshop.

And with the salary of the local workers hanging in front of them, these people will definitely be eager to see the company grow and build new workshops.

If he suppresses the company, it will be equivalent to ruining the hopes of the people. More seriously, if Huo Junyao wants to fight back and reduce some workshops, it will inevitably cause many people to lose their jobs, and all this will be counted on the court. Go ahead and put it on him.

If they cooperate with the noble clan to promote local propaganda, the imperial court will probably be hated by many people.

At the end of the former dynasty, the incident of the Eighteenth Route Army rebelling against the king is still vivid in our minds.

For the sake of an unrealistic suspicion, he did so many things, even leading to years of hard work being wasted. The price was too high, he couldn't afford it, and he wouldn't want to see such a thing.

These two parties alone already gave him a headache, and now Queen Shen actually said that the clan would be the first to object, which shocked him even more.

The royal family members, shouldn't they be on his side?
"In recent years, due to some business cooperation between you and Zhaode, the emperor, the internal funds have generated a lot of income every year. With money, the concubines will naturally not be able to treat their relatives as they did when the Yu Dynasty was first established, and their salaries will inevitably be increased. "

"Over the years, with a lot of money, the clan members have become more and more dedicated to supporting our direct branch. Your Majesty should be able to feel this."

Emperor Zhaowu nodded, and he could naturally feel it. He recalled that when the Yu Dynasty was extremely poor, many clan members came to him to complain about their poverty.

Nowadays, those clan members no longer come to cry for poverty. Even in the past, many clan clan members caused him trouble because of some interests. Nowadays, the number of clan members has decreased a lot.

This can all be truly felt. The royal clan is a relatively special group, and the people in it are also mixed, but they all represent the majesty of the royal family without exception.

As in the past, the royal family members harmed the people for the sake of profit, bullied small officials, and so on. Each and every incident would ruin the reputation of the royal family and erode the prestige of the royal family.

Now that they receive more money every month, they no longer have to do all the twists and turns, which will naturally make the royal family's reputation better. In addition, the people live a good life, which means that the emperor has governed well.

Link by link, Huo Junyao's existence has invisibly affected many people or things, and they are all beneficial to the royal family and the Yu Dynasty. Once she has problems, these will be affected, and the resulting problems will also be very serious. huge.

This is why Emperor Zhaowu now feels that Huo Junyao is such a terrifying existence, because unknowingly, Huo Junyao's influence has begun to threaten him.

"It is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality. Without the income from the Hot Spring Villa Company, the royal family's internal funds can only rely on annual allocations from the imperial treasury."

"And the imperial court spends money in many places. In the past few years, the situation of the Yu Dynasty has been relatively good, and there have been no large-scale natural disasters. But once a large-scale natural disaster occurs, how long do you think, the emperor, the taxes on the treasury can support it?"

"Think about the state of the treasury and internal funds when Zhaode did not appear. Are you willing, Your Majesty, to go back to that time?"

Emperor Zhaowu almost didn't hesitate and shook his head, joking. He felt sad when he thought about the situation at that time. It was completely different from the current situation.
