Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 466: Attitude
Huo Junyao was quite curious about this.

After all, eating melons is human nature.

However, King Qin did not share his thoughts immediately. Instead, he looked at Huo Junyao meaningfully.

"Cousin Zhaode, are you trying to delay time?"

He was still very clear about what he was doing. Even though the capital and the imperial city were now under his control, he had not taken them completely. There were still many soldiers of the Yu Dynasty outside the capital.

There are even quite a few vassal kings who, if you do not take down the court ministers with thundering means, will ascend to the throne legitimately.

Once the news from the capital gets out, it will probably take less than a day for troops from all over the country to emerge to support the king. By then, with his current force of more than 50,000, it will undoubtedly be a pipe dream for him to defend the capital.

Moreover, once the army to support the king appears, the people of Yu Dynasty will surely be in panic. He wants that position and he also wants revenge, but if this leads to chaos in Yu Dynasty, or even gives others an opportunity to take advantage of it, then he will be guilty of a great sin.

So now he just wants to succeed to the throne quickly and smoothly, which is why he came to see Huo Junyao at this time.

Firstly, he admired his cousin very much, and secondly, he naturally wanted to see what his cousin wanted to do.

But at this time it seems that this cousin wants to delay time. Of course, she also made her attitude clear, that her family should not be touched.

He didn't think of attacking anyone from the Duke Ji's Mansion. Even though Huo Jingzhi was the first to step forward, he had the urge to kill him for a moment, but when he thought of Huo Junyao, his murderous intent subsided.

The reason was simple: he was a little scared of Huo Junyao's methods.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he was afraid, because even if he succeeded in ascending the throne, what the world needed most at the beginning of his reign was stability.

And if the Duke Ji's Mansion was touched, Huo Junyao would definitely not let it go. Once she mobilized the power in her hands, the Yu Dynasty would inevitably be in turmoil, and it would be impossible for him, the new king, to live in peace.

Therefore, he could not touch the Duke Ji's Mansion, and even had to appease or win over as much as possible.

"I didn't expect that the King of Qin would see through it."

Huo Junyao was not embarrassed at all, and then smiled and said, "In fact, it is not a wise move for you to do this, King Qin. Even if you can take the throne, what does it matter? How long can you sit there? Is it worth it?"

Upon hearing this, King Qin fell silent. He did not expect Huo Junyao to be so direct. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that even if he successfully ascended to the throne, he might not be able to keep the position securely.

Emperor Zhaowu has controlled the government for so many years that his power is deeply rooted. So what if he comes to power?

Will these people under Emperor Zhaowu listen to him?

Just like what happened to Marquis Xuanwu back then, Prince Yide is gone. Over the years, has Emperor Zhaowu ever had control over Marquis Xuanwu?
Just one Marquis Xuanwu is like this, what about the people under Emperor Zhaowu?
There are even more, Li Jiujun, Duke Ningguo, Huo Jingzhi, Fang Qiao, Meng Xuancheng, each of them holds an important position in the court. Even if he comes to power, he cannot just touch them directly, because once he does, these people will inevitably unite and counterattack, and then he will have no ability to suppress them.

But what if we know this?
Revenge for his father has become his obsession, and he must sit in that position no matter how high or low it is, which is also for his father's wish.

Obviously, Huo Junyao had seen through his thoughts, so she asked him if it was worth it.

But how can this be measured in terms of worthiness or unworthiness?
Obsession is a really scary thing. You don't care about the consequences at all, and you won't pay attention to the consequences.

"Whether it's worth it or not, I don't know. Since cousin Zhaode came here for the people from Duke Ji's Mansion, I'll give you a favor and send the people from Duke Ji's Mansion out later." Hearing this, Huo Junyao shook his head and said, "Thank you, King Qin, but I'm not leaving just yet."

"Why?"

The King of Qin frowned. He was willing to give face to Huo Junyao because he didn't want to be her enemy. Besides, he didn't really have any murderous intentions towards the Duke Ji's Mansion, so he let her go, just as a favor to Huo Junyao.

But Huo Junyao made it clear that she wanted to get involved, which made King Qin feel that Huo Junyao was somewhat ungrateful.

"I am a businessman. The King of Qin knows businessmen. What kind of situation do I want to see the most?"

"Social stability. Over the years, I have been working hard to create a stable social environment. Over the years, it has achieved some results. I can also earn some money and live a stable life."

"But if you do this now, won't all my years of hard work be in vain?"

"And once the Yu Dynasty gets into chaos, wouldn't my business stalls be affected? That's all hard-earned money. If I lose so much money like this, I will feel really bad. What do you think, Your Highness the King of Qin?"

As she finished her words, the King of Qin's originally gentle face suddenly became gloomy.

In his opinion, these remarks were just excuses from Huo Junyao, pure nonsense, and she wanted to use them to stop his actions.

"Do you really want to get involved?"

There was a hint of murderous intent in the King of Qin's voice.

"It's not that I have to get involved, but you, King Qin, have to cause trouble for me. I have worked so hard for so many years and lost so much money, and you want me to give up just like that. It's really unreasonable."

"After all, a person's life is only a few decades long. If we spend seven or eight years on it all of a sudden, the loss would be huge. How many seven or eight years do we have in a lifetime?"

"Isn't it inappropriate for you to make me sacrifice so much for your obsession?"

Now that she is here, she must get involved in today's matter.

It's not that she has any complaints against the King of Qin. In fact, just as she said, after so many years of planning, she finally has the current scale. Not only can she make money, but she can also ensure her own safety.

She has been living a life of peace and security for the rest of her life, but now you, the King of Qin, suddenly show up, and this is going to disrupt her plans of many years.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. Will the King of Qin be as tolerant to her as Emperor Zhaowu in the future?
It is almost impossible to agree. Her power has been exposed. Emperor Zhaowu himself regrets it, but he has no choice. The trend has been established. But now that the King of Qin has done this, her power has been reduced. If she wants to gather it again, will the King of Qin agree?

I'm afraid that not only will he not be willing, he will also be on guard against her everywhere. In the future, I'm afraid that her life will be like walking on thin ice, which will be completely different from now.

And the most important point is that she has already settled things with Emperor Zhaowu, and she has also trained Prince Wenruo, who is clearly the next monarch. After Emperor Zhaowu passes away, if you calculate the time, she will be old by then.

After Wen Ruo comes to power, because of this relationship, at least her later years will be stable.

This would have meant a lifetime of stability, but now that the King of Qin has done this, it would mean a lifetime of chaos, and even death at an early age if one is not careful. This deal is not worth it.
