Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 484: Leave Your Name in History (Complete Version)

Soon, the news that Princess Zhaode saved the King of Qin with the golden medal of immunity from death spread.

Although everyone was extremely surprised, they all accepted it. After all, that thing could indeed save one from death, and it was issued by both the emperor and the retired emperor. The imperial edict had been issued to you many years ago. Although it had not been made public, after the ministers had seen it, they all acknowledged the existence of the golden medal of immunity from death.

In this way, the King of Qin was spared the death penalty, but his title was not revoked, and he had to live in confinement for the rest of his life.

The King of Qin was very satisfied with this.

After all, being alive is a good thing.

He no longer had any thoughts about competing for the throne. He only wanted to watch his two children grow up. Huo Junyao also visited him and promised that when his children grew up, he would try his best to find a way to send them out to live an ordinary life. If they were good enough, he would also recommend a future for them.

For this, both the King of Qin and his wife were very grateful.

The matter of the King of Qin has come to an end.

Then came the King of Qi and the King of Chu, both of whom were treated very well by the Zhao brothers.

Originally, at the beginning of the Qin King's rebellion, these two people thought that they had a lot of people under their command, and wanted to resist a few of them, thinking that if they could turn the tide, then their position as crown prince would be secure.

As a result, they overestimated their own abilities, and although they had many ministers following them, they were only good at talking.

Facing those people coming down from the battlefield, they were not enough, not to mention that all the civil and military officials were trapped in the palace at that time, so the two of them could only bring the guards from the mansion.

There were only a few thousand people, who were making a lot of noise and thought they could catch the enemy by surprise, but in the end, they were suppressed in the middle.

The Zhao brothers had been on guard against them for a long time, and this time they gave the two of them a terrible beating. Although they did not lose their lives, they were half disabled.

The waste here does not mean physical, but psychological.

These two men had witnessed real power. They originally thought that they had a lot of powerful people under their command and did not take the King of Qin seriously at all. However, when the King of Qin made a move, not only were they defeated, but even their father was almost defeated.

For a while, the two of them lost confidence and felt like they could never recover.

When they really faced death, the little thoughts that the two had originally had were extinguished a lot, and they also knew that they had no chance.

Looking back at what Emperor Zhaowu had said to them, they realized that in the eyes of their father, they were really useless. They were the only ones who were complacent and felt that they had someone to support them and were more than qualified to sit in that position.

Only when they truly experienced the power did they realize how ridiculous they were.

They really don't have the face to continue fighting for that position. They'd better just be princes. If there's a chance in the future and the emperor likes them and chooses them, then they'll take the position. If not, then forget it and don't bother.

Of course, the defeat of King Qin also scared them. King Qin had made such good arrangements, but he was still defeated in the end and almost lost his life. If it weren't for Huo Junyao's help, the whole family would have died.

They don't have the help of Huo Junyao. On the contrary, if they continue to jump around, Huo Junyao will crush them to death.

With the King of Qi and the King of Chu no longer competing with each other, the court of the Yu Dynasty was unusually peaceful.

After two years of recovery, the Turkic side had been brought under control, and the Yu Dynasty was no longer short of war horses, so Emperor Zhaowu directly sent troops to attack Tuyuhun.

Emperor Zhaowu had not forgotten the grudge of the past. With a well-trained army and sufficient food, Tuyuhun was powerless to resist. In just three months, even if it was not destroyed, the Yu Dynasty never stopped conquering in the following years. It conquered almost every year. Such frequent conquests not only did not make the Yu Dynasty stretched its financial resources, but made it more and more prosperous.

As Gaochang, Qiuci and other countries were successively destroyed, the territory of the Yu Dynasty also expanded.

"The emperor has been engaged in numerous wars over the years. Is this okay?"

Although the increase in land area is a good thing, it also brings with it difficulties in management.

After all, those conquered places need people to go there and manage them.

Huo Jingzhi is still the Minister of Works and leads a relatively leisurely life. It is a good opportunity for him to take a break and come to the hot spring villa.

Hearing about his culture, Huo Junyao smiled and said, "As long as we can conquer it, there is nothing wrong with it. As for things that are difficult to manage, we don't necessarily have to manage them ourselves. We can also support their own people to get promoted."

"As long as we can grasp their lifeline, it's not a bad idea to let them manage it."

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi pondered for a moment and nodded, "This is a good idea, but I heard from the emperor a few days ago that he still wants to attack Tubo."

"Let's fight. The Yu Dynasty is now strong, so we should fight."

Isn't that what a dynasty is like? A capable monarch expands the territory, and then slowly some incompetent monarchs emerge, and foolish monarchs lose the territory.

Huo Junyao had read a lot of history in her previous life, and it was just like that.

As for why she doesn't avoid it, that's a joke. She is not a god and she can't live that long. She can only take care of the present, or one or two generations to come. If she is lucky, she can take care of the third generation.

Anything more and she would be powerless.

Being able to ensure their family's stability and prosperity for a hundred years is already very good. Although the Yu Dynasty has been fighting external wars in recent years, some situations have occasionally occurred within the country.

Some nobles are restless. Over the years, seven or eight founding nobles have been killed for committing serious mistakes. Therefore, it is not easy to ensure the stability of a family for a hundred years.

Another year passed, and Tubo was defeated. Although it was not destroyed, it completely surrendered to the Yu Dynasty. The Tubo leader wanted to marry a princess of the Yu Dynasty, and Emperor Zhaowu was about to agree, but Huo Junyao asked, "Why do we send the princess to them if they want to surrender? Instead of them sending the princess to us?"
After she said this, Emperor Zhaowu and all the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to mention their princess's past. Huo Junyao's prestige had been very high in recent years, and even Emperor Zhaowu had to give her face.

Although she is not in the court, she still has to give him face.

In the years that followed, the Yu Dynasty slowed down its pace, and Emperor Zhaowu's health was not very good. Although the poison from the King of Qin did not have much effect on him at that time, it had damaged his foundation, and all these conditions were exposed as he got older.

Prince Wenruo had studied very well in recent years and was made the crown prince. As Emperor Zhaowu became increasingly weaker, the crown prince began to oversee the country, and he did a very good job, showing the demeanor of a wise ruler.

Another five years passed, and Emperor Zhaowu died at the age of 52. Crown Prince Wenruo ascended the throne and was named Emperor Wende.

When Emperor Wende ascended the throne, in addition to conferring a title on the empress, he also conferred the title on the former Princess Zhaode as the Grand Princess of the Yu Dynasty and the Imperial Tutor, a position that was higher than that of a prince and only below that of the emperor.

The Grand Princess Huo Junyao also assisted Emperor Wende wholeheartedly and created an unprecedented era of great prosperity.

Later, Princess Huo Junyao of the Fuguo clan died at the age of ninety and never married. Emperor Wende even carried her spirit tablet into the Confucian Temple and the Ancestral Temple, where it would remain forever. For a woman to enjoy such respect, all later generations were impressed.
