Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 433; Do you understand her?

Not to mention that Marquis Xuanwu would not be willing to accept this, I'm afraid no one would be willing to accept this.

After all, this concerns the life and death of the entire family. If you put yourself in his shoes, Emperor Zhaowu would not be willing to accept this.

But what?
Marquis Xuanwu actually made such a choice, and he said it so casually that Emperor Zhaowu was shocked and had to think more deeply about it.

What was the purpose of Marquis Xuanwu’s choice?
What exactly is his plan?
Moreover, when he went to the Prince of Qin's mansion today, his communication with the Prince of Qin seemed normal, but it made Emperor Zhaowu feel a little uncomfortable.

These things forced him to think deeply. For a moment he was a little confused, and his expression gradually changed from its original calmness to a heavy one.

As an emperor, he has to plan and understand everything clearly, so that he can deal with everything calmly.

But today, everything seems reasonable, but it also reveals unreasonableness.

He had a gut feeling that this was wrong, very wrong.

"Gao Fu, I have assigned you a mission. Carry it out in secret. Remember not to alert the enemy."

Seeing his expression, Gao Fu quickly bent down and listened respectfully.

After a while, Gao Fu walked out of the imperial study in small steps.

The next day, after the court meeting, Marquis Xuanwu did not rush to leave the palace, but went to the imperial study to ask for an audience with Emperor Zhaowu.

Emperor Zhaowu knew the purpose of his visit, but he did not leave him alone and directly had him summoned into the imperial study.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Marquis Xuanwu explained the purpose of his visit.

After listening to this, Emperor Zhaowu pondered for a moment before speaking; "How much does Marquis Xuanwu know about Zhaode?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanwu Hou was startled at first, then he said, "Your Majesty knows that I have not been back to the capital for many years. Although I occasionally hear about some things in the capital, I know a lot about what Princess Zhaode has done over the years."

Then came a series of praises and compliments, all of which were very pertinent. Emperor Zhaowu naturally could not find any fault with his words.

There is no way. This Princess Zhaode did everything flawlessly in some aspects. She was like a person who helped the Yu Dynasty wholeheartedly. How much benefit has she brought to the people of the Yu Dynasty over the years?
At the same time, it helped the court provide major national policies and brought considerable benefits to the royal family.

Although she also gained some benefits while doing these things, in comparison, those benefits were all within the scope of her duty.

No one could find any fault with him. After all, he had made so many contributions, so it was only natural for him to receive some rewards. In fact, even if he didn't want it, shouldn't he, as the emperor, rush to give it to him?

If nothing is given, it will be a big trouble. Those who help the country will not get the rewards they deserve. Who will serve the country in the future?
"What you said is true, but it is still too one-sided."

"Of course, this is understandable. After all, you have been in Xihuguan for many years, and Zhaode rarely goes out. Not to mention that you don't understand her, there are not many people in the capital who really understand her."

"Don't be ridiculous, but even I can't figure out her thoughts most of the time."

Emperor Zhaowu did not feel embarrassed at all about this.

The simplest and most direct way to understand a person is to have more contact with him/her, and then analyze his/her daily behavior and some big and small things.

However, although Princess Zhaode is now very famous, she rarely goes out. Even the emperor can only see her a few times a year. Although he has arranged people to be with Huo Junyao, what she does when she is at the hot spring villa is either to drink tea and chat, or to help advise on some operational matters of Fang Zhilan Hot Spring Villa.

In these things, one can also get a glimpse of some of her clever tactics and calm state of mind.

But it's not enough to truly understand her as a person.

On the contrary, people like her will give people the illusion that you are gentle and kind.

Emperor Zhaowu was also deeply affected by this. Looking at how she usually arranged for the people around her in the hot spring villa, who would dare to say that she was unkind?

And even though she has a very high status now, she never puts on airs in front of people around her, even in front of a servant. Even when she interacts with servants on weekdays, she always calls herself "I".

Over the years, I haven't heard of her punishing her servants harshly. Even if someone did something wrong, as long as it wasn't something serious like murder or arson, she would basically just deduct ten days or half a month's wages, and she never beat or killed them.

Even if someone committed a serious mistake, she would not beat or scold them, but would simply expel them from the palace and hand them over to the Jingzhao Yin for handling.

Speaking of which, the servants in the hot spring villa are all very grateful to have such a master.

Who can say that such a person is not gentle, who can say that she is not kind?

In this respect, even those ministers with a good reputation in the circle of nobles in the capital cannot compare to him.

For example, Meng Xuancheng. This old guy seems like a decent guy, but doesn’t he still have his own airs? In his own words, it’s some kind of scholarly character.

But this kind of thing would never happen to Huo Junyao. To say that she is not a scholar? You must be kidding. She is still a highly respected scholar in the officialdom.

He suffered a great loss because he originally thought that this girl was a rare and unique good girl in the world.

However, after she arranged everything step by step, he realized that although this girl looked gentle, her methods and schemes were not gentle at all.

He is also bold, careful, and extremely strong.

In short, if you don't provoke her, she won't provoke you. On the contrary, she will give you enough respect. Even if you are just a servant, she will not act bossy.

But once you provoke her, she will have several criteria to judge you.

For minor matters, she would just give a few simple reminders and that would be over. For bigger matters, she would not get too angry and would handle them in a gentle manner.

But once she gets involved in something big, or a big trouble, her attitude will immediately change, and her actions will be very direct and forceful, leaving the other party with almost no chance to resist.

Of course, she won’t give it to them, but that doesn’t mean they won’t resist. But they will still face her thundering blow.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the matter of deposing the crown prince. From the very beginning of the frame-up at the palace banquet, the other party might have just thought it was a trivial matter. After all, at that time, she also didn’t want to promote this marriage, so she didn’t take it to heart at all, and didn’t even hold a grudge.

This can be seen from the fact that she did not do anything towards the Crown Prince and Zhao Yan'er at that time. They did not take it seriously at all. Even though it seemed to outsiders that she had suffered a great loss, she did not take it to heart at all.

But what happened next? The Crown Prince and Zhao Yan'er immediately treated her as an imaginary enemy, and they made trouble every now and then, making the originally small matter gradually become a big one.
