Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 457; Mother and Daughter Analysis

Well, now hearing my daughter say this, it seems like she hasn’t figured it out yet?

"I, the mother, can't figure out who is behind this. Why does he want to do such a big thing?"

"And it seems that the Turks and Tuyuhun are also involved. Do you think they are from other countries?"

Hearing this, Huo Junyao pondered for a moment. The conspiracies and calculations between countries were nothing and very normal.

But she felt that this time it was impossible, because if it was a fight between countries, the first thing to do would be to target the army, or attack one city at a time, rather than directly targeting the capital.

You have to know that the emperor now has many sons, in addition to the emperor emeritus and brothers.

There are even vassal kings living in other places. If people from other countries target the capital right away, what will it matter even if they are so clever that they can kill all the royal family members in the capital?

Can a country collapse just like this?

This is obviously impossible. Not only is it impossible, it may even arouse greater hatred. By then, as long as a respected vassal king raises the banner, it may cause the whole country to respond.

By then, the country that took action would probably be in big trouble. It is obviously unlikely and unnecessary to make such a big fuss just for a trip.

It’s not like you can control the entire Yu Dynasty just by taking down the emperor.

"This should be impossible. Not to mention that few of the countries surrounding our Yu Dynasty have such capabilities, the rewards alone are asymmetric."

"General Li Jiujun still has a lot of troops, Duke Ningguo still has tens of thousands, Xihu Pass still has 300,000 troops, not to mention the garrisons in other places."

"As long as these forces remain, other countries will inevitably lose more than they gain by doing this, and may even trigger hatred among the entire nation, which is completely like shooting themselves in the foot."

"Moreover, the countries that pose the greatest threat to us right now are the Turks and Tubo. Even Tuyuhun is just a clown, not to mention the other countries."

"The Turks are now in a semi-crippled state. They don't have such great capabilities. As for Tuyuhun, the Xihu Pass alone can stop them. If we want to counterattack, Tuyuhun will not be able to resist at all."

"As for Tubo, I heard there was a plague there. I think they can't protect themselves. Even if there is no plague, as long as they move, they will have no chance to rush to our Yu Dynasty because of Tuyuhun."

Following her analysis, Princess Ningyang nodded repeatedly, her brows furrowed.

"Since he is not from another country, how can he persuade Tuyuhun to help the Turks? Could it be that someone in our ranks is collaborating with the enemy?"

When she thought of this, Princess Ningyang's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"I don't know about this either, but they are making such a big deal, what do they want?"

"What else could this be? Of course it's the throne."

Princess Ningyang gave this answer without any hesitation.

"The throne?"

Huo Junyao shook her head and continued, "Mother, do you think it's so easy to sit on the throne?" "Usurping the throne is not legitimate, will the people of the world accept it? Will the aristocratic families accept it, especially those scholars?"

"Also, just controlling the capital, can you command the nearly one million troops of our Yu Dynasty? Those troops are not for show. Once someone plots rebellion, they will definitely go to the capital to defend the king. Can the person who wants to usurp the throne resist so many troops?"

"You can't risk your life, or even the lives of your entire clan, just to sit in that position, right?"

This is totally unrealistic, and this is what Huo Junyao couldn't understand. It is not so easy to usurp the throne.

The ancients paid the most attention to legitimacy. The current emperor is good and has a high reputation among the people. If someone usurps the throne at this time, will the people agree? Will the nearly one million troops of the Yu Dynasty agree?
"That's right. First of all, that person must have a legitimate reason, so that the people and scholars in the world cannot find fault with him. And he also has an army."

Princess Ningyang seemed to have thought of something as she spoke.

Huo Junyao, who was also beside her, seemed to have grasped something at this moment, and the mother and daughter looked at each other.

"It can't be him, right?"

The two of them said this almost in unison.

Yes, there is only one person in the world who can be justified, stop the gossips of the world, and suppress the army.

That was the King of Qin.

That's right, it's the Prince of Qin. First of all, he is the eldest son of Crown Prince Yide, and the throne should have belonged to his lineage. In terms of legitimacy, his qualifications are slightly higher than Emperor Zhaowu.

If he came to power, the world would not be able to find any major faults. Usurping the throne? It should have belonged to someone else's lineage. At most, this was just taking back what belonged to him.

As for the army, the retired emperor is still there. Even if the King of Qin dealt with Emperor Zhaowu, could the retired emperor really bring himself to kill his eldest grandson?
As long as the emperor is unwilling, his position will remain there and the army will not be in chaos.

If the Prince of Qin had been more ruthless and dealt with Emperor Zhaowu while killing all the male descendants of his lineage, then he would have been the most qualified heir. So what if the retired emperor was angry?

For the sake of the Yu Dynasty, the emperor emeritus might have no choice but to let him take the throne.

Of course, although the identity of the King of Qin is indeed very suitable, based on their understanding of the King of Qin, he does not seem to have such great ability.

First of all, when he was in Qin, Emperor Zhaowu kept a close eye on him, and the King of Qin basically did not show any unusual behavior. After coming to the capital, the King of Qin did not show any abnormal behavior either.

Although there are still many of Prince Yide's former subordinates following him, I'm afraid those people don't have enough power to set up such a big plan.

Besides, even if they made the plan, how many people do they have in the capital?
Currently, the only person in the capital who belongs to the power of the Prince of Qin's Mansion is the family of the Princess of Qin. The Zhao family is just a very small family. They were able to hold several official positions, but they relied on the relationships of the Princess of Qin. How could a small family like them deal with the Emperor in a place like the capital?
As I said before, there are more than 40,000 people in and around the capital.

How many people are there in these two families combined?
There are only two or three hundred people at most. Are they going to cause trouble?
In terms of identity, the King of Qin can indeed be considered legitimate, but in terms of strength, he is not up to par.

Because of this, the two felt that this was completely impossible. Even if the King of Qin had the intention, he did not have the ability.

Even though Huo Junyao seemed to have found out something was wrong with the King of Qin, that was not enough to be noticed in such a big scene.
