Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 449: Emergency Summoning

Of course, with Fang Qiao's shrewd character, even if Huo Jingzhi didn't tell him these, he would do everything perfectly when dealing with Prince Wenruo.

There is basically no such thing as nonsense. Otherwise, he would not have been the head of the civil servants for so many years and was highly regarded by Emperor Zhaowu, right?
The reason why I told him was simply to give Fang Qiao some peace of mind so that he wouldn't have to worry when something happened.

"We'll have to wait and see how Prince Wenruo turns out, but since Yaoyao said he's good, and judging by the emperor's intentions, he also wants to cultivate power, so he shouldn't be bad."

"The issue of the successor to the Yu Dynasty is also a concern for us old guys. We always hope that this dynasty, which was established with so much hardship, will go further in the future."

As a founding hero, Huo Jingzhi also had deep feelings for the Yu Dynasty.

Although these words may seem a bit presumptuous at this moment, Fang Qiao is not an outsider. The two of them had made a lot of efforts together for the establishment of the Yu Dynasty. They were friends for many years, and their children were in-laws.

Saying these things in front of him is nothing.

"Yeah, I was also worried in the past, but after talking with my brother today, I feel much more relieved."

Fang Qiao felt a lot more relaxed at this moment.

In the next half month, many court meetings of all sizes were held, and Prince Wenruo was able to gain a firm foothold in the court.

From listening more, watching more and learning more in the beginning, to now, Emperor Zhaowu would occasionally call on him to express some of his own opinions.

Prince Wenruo did not disappoint. Although some of his views were still a bit immature, they were quite good for someone of his age.

It was also the first time that Fang Qiao and Huo Jingzhi intuitively felt some of the prince's abilities.

When they were drinking tea and chatting privately, they seemed more optimistic about Prince Wenruo when he was mentioned.

I also understood why Emperor Zhaowu was so anxious to let Prince Wenruo participate in state affairs. He intended to train him carefully, let him get in touch with state affairs early and gain experience.

At the same time, he also admired Princess Zhaode's ability to judge people.

As Prince Wenruo displayed his talents a little, some courtiers in the court became more active and began to tentatively move closer to Prince Wenruo.

Even some people in the Qi and Chu factions, whose roots were not that deep, were slowly and tentatively approaching Prince Wenruo.

With the emergence of this phenomenon, the King of Qi and the King of Chu, who were once in the limelight, have become much quieter during this period of time. Although they did make some trouble at the beginning.

But after being criticized a few times, they all behaved themselves.

First of all, there is nothing wrong with what Prince Wenruo said. Although it is a bit immature, there is nothing wrong with the general direction. It is very good for a child of eleven or twelve years old to say such words.

It is indeed not a good look for those court officials from the Qi and Chu factions to target a child.

In this way, although Prince Wenruo was not considered old at all, he was saved from a lot of trouble.

After all, it is difficult and unpleasant to talk about it when it comes to a child, and both civil and military officials still have to save face.

As for the King of Qi and the King of Chu, although they were resentful, they did not dare to target Prince Wenruo as they had done before with the deposed Crown Prince.

Firstly, as the elder brother, he is much older than them. If they are targeted too much, it will have a negative impact on their reputation.

Secondly, there was pressure from Queen Shen. Some time ago, Queen Shen was too lazy to hold a palace banquet in the palace.

No one from outside the palace was invited, only the imperial concubines were invited. At the banquet, Empress Shen paid special attention to the mothers of the King of Qi and the King of Chu. Her words and deeds made one thing clear: Wen Ruo was young, and participating in government affairs was just to learn, and she didn't want anyone to do anything to him.

There was even talk of deposing the crown prince.

The threat here is very serious. Everyone in the capital knows that the reason why the deposed prince has come to this point is due to many reasons including the King of Qi and the King of Chu.

When Empress Shen mentioned the deposed Crown Prince on such an occasion, it was tantamount to saying again that there were some things that she had not forgotten. The reason she did not take action before was only because the Crown Prince himself was not upright. However, if she thought that she would not take action in the future, she would be very wrong.

After all, he is my biological son, and Wen Ruo is also my biological son. I still remember the past, but if anyone dares to target Wen Ruo this time, don't blame me for being merciless.

After this blatant threat, the next day, the mother of the King of Qi and the King of Chu sent someone to take the souvenirs out of the palace.

After receiving the letter from their mother, the King of Qi and the King of Chu dared not to make any more tricks.

Queen Shen's anger is not so easy to bear.

Even though she has lived in the palace for a long time and has a good reputation, it would be a big mistake to think that she has no temper.

If this guy really gets angry, even Emperor Zhaowu will have to back off.

With Queen Shen protecting and defending them, the King of Qi and the King of Chu naturally did not dare to target Prince Wenruo too much. Of course, this was only on the surface; they were constantly making small moves in secret.

However, when Empress Shen and Emperor Zhaowu learned about these little actions, they didn't say anything.

As long as they don't cross the line, they are happy to have these small targets, because only in this way can they train Prince Wenruo more quickly.

The couple were both very concerned about the affairs of Prince Wenruo. In the past, they were too careless when it came to the deposed crown prince, which allowed someone to take advantage of them. That would not happen now.

However, Prince Wenruo was very calm and composed in the face of such small targeting. Not only did he not suffer any loss, but he also learned a lot.

During this period, after court, Emperor Zhaowu would summon Prince Wenruo to the Imperial Study to ask for his opinions on certain state affairs and would also teach him a lot.

Prince Wenruo has also made great progress under such cultivation. He already has good qualifications, and with such careful cultivation, it is understandable that he grows so fast.

On this day, just after the morning court session, Emperor Zhaowu was planning to let Prince Wenruo go to the imperial study as usual.

An urgent secret report interrupted his arrangements.

After reading the contents of the secret report, Emperor Zhaowu looked gloomy.

"Go, summon Fang Qiao, Huo Jingzhi, Meng Xuancheng, Shen Huan, and Duke Ning to come to the audience."

As soon as Gao Fu saw the expression on Emperor Zhaowu's face, he knew that something big must have happened. He didn't dare to say anything more and just responded by retreating.

"Also, let Wen Ruo come over as well."

Soon, the summoned people gathered at the door of the imperial study.

They looked at each other and asked, what on earth had happened?

Soon, Prince Wenruo also arrived. When they saw him coming, several ministers hurriedly saluted.

They had all seen Prince Wenruo's performance during this period. As they were all close confidants of Emperor Zhaowu, they naturally knew that as long as Prince Wenruo could maintain his performance, he would be the crown prince in the future.
