Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 96; Shen Huan confronts the prince

As a prince and a heir to a country, will he be short of people to use?

It's obviously impossible. It can even be said that there are countless people who want to follow him.

However, because of this lack of self-confidence and the paranoia of being persecuted, he saw that everyone was wrong.

Not to mention anything else, as for the subordinate officials in his East Palace, although they were selected for him by Emperor Zhaowu, they were all capable ministers.

Let's talk about Zuo Xiang Fang Qiao, who was the prince's grand master, and let's talk about Meng Xuancheng, who was a remonstrator that even Emperor Zhaowu respected and admired.

They were all dedicated to the founding of the Yu Dynasty, but the prince did not trust them and never asked them what they should do when something happened.

As for the other subordinate officials, it cannot be said that all of them are talented, but they are more than enough to help make suggestions.

As the saying goes, there is no doubt in employing people. As the prince and the future emperor, he will govern the Yu Dynasty in the future, and he will have to deal with so many officials under his command.

If everyone is on guard, not only will he be tired, but he will also make his ministers feel chilled, right?
Emperor Zhaowu had actually discovered this problem a long time ago, but the prince was still young. He thought that with more guidance, he should be able to change.

But his current performance is getting more and more deviated.

In the Zhao Guogong Mansion, Shen Huan was leisurely leaning on the sofa and reading a book.

His mental state is very good, and he doesn't look like an old man over fifty at all.

"Master, the Crown Prince has come down."

Hearing this, Shen Huan raised his head, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his narrow eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he lives in seclusion, he still knows everything about the capital and the affairs of the court.

He used to be an extremely ambitious person, but because of his status as a relative and for the sake of the family's future, he had to avoid suspicion, but the fire in his heart has never been extinguished.

"At this time, you still come to me. I really don't know what to do."

Shen Huan was a little unhappy, but he still had to see the prince when he came to visit him. He saw him put down his book, get up and walk out.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the prince had already walked over quickly. As soon as he saw him, he rushed forward and grabbed his arm.

"Uncle, you must save the orphan this time."

Seeing him like this, Shen Huan's eyes showed a hint of disappointment and boredom.

What's disappointing is that my sister's son is so embarrassing. What's annoying is that if the prince comes to see him at this time, Emperor Zhaowu will definitely know about it.

Prince, since you already know that you are wrong, instead of going to the emperor to admit your mistake and then find a way to make up for it, you come to him instead.

What means?
Undoubtedly, he told Emperor Zhaowu that he knew he was wrong, but he just didn't want to admit it, and he just wanted to fight to the end.

So if Shen Huan really found a way for him, it would undoubtedly be to help the prince fight against the emperor.

What do you make Emperor Zhaowu think?
Why, when I was in power, you couldn't see any opportunities, so you wanted to win over and control the prince, so that when I was gone, you would start trouble?

Isn't this just looking for death?

What he hated was that the prince himself wanted to commit suicide, so why did he drag him along with him?

"Why do you say this, Your Highness? You are the crown prince of a country, and with the Emperor here, who dares to do anything to you?"

These words have already told the prince secretly that you should not come to me, but to your father. Only he can help you.

No one else can help, nor dare to help.

However, the prince could hear the implication behind his words.

"Uncle, I really have no choice this time. Even my mother is not willing to help me. The only one I can trust and rely on now is you." Thank you. I can't bear your trust and reliance. .

Shen Huan rolled his eyes in his heart, was the queen unwilling to help?
She was waiting for the prince to wake up and admit his mistake. Once the prince went over and admitted his mistake sincerely, could Queen Shen not help?

"Your Highness must not say that. I can't afford it."

Seeing that he wanted to continue talking, Shen Huan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

"I've also heard about what happened in the capital. Your Highness is indeed wrong this time, and it's so wrong. The only one who can help you now is the Queen."

"As long as she is willing to stand up and speak for you, you are asking for punishment, and the emperor will not say much."

"As for Duke Ji's Mansion, the relationship between the Empress and Princess Ningyang's sister-in-law has always been close. As long as she talks nicely, the eldest princess will probably give the Empress face."

Unexpectedly, the prince shook his head after hearing this.

"The queen mother only has Huo Junyao in her heart now, and her heart has been turned aside. No matter what Gu says, she won't believe it."

"If she was really willing to help Gu Gu, why would there be rumors spreading in the capital now?"

Shen Huan was a little confused at this time. How could his nephew, who was so smart before, be so stupid now?

"Is it so difficult to sincerely admit a mistake?"

"Gu is the prince, who does she, Huo Junyao, deserve? Is she worthy of Gu to admit her mistake?"

Hearing this, Shen Huan said coldly: "Prince? How long do you think you can hold the position of prince?"

"Princess Zhaode is indeed nothing, and her status cannot be compared with yours, but she is the daughter of Duke Ji Guo and Princess Ningyang."

"Who is Duke Ji Guo to you? Who is Princess Ningyang to you?"

"They are your biological aunt and uncle, and they are also the founding ministers of the Yu Dynasty."

"Mr. Ji Guogong should be the person you trust the most and the person who can help you the most, but what did you do?"

"About the palace banquet, do you really think that everyone else is a fool and can't see the tricks you and Zhao Yan'er are doing?"

The prince was so reprimanded that he didn't know how to refute for a moment.

"Push away the person who supports you the most and is most willing to help you to marry Zhao Yan'er. Do you think Duke Cao will be able to support you if you marry Zhao Yan'er?"

"Stupid, wishful thinking, I tell you clearly, as long as Cao Guogong dares to move closer to you, then it won't be long before the military power in Cao Guogong's hands and the position of minister will have to be replaced by someone else."

"Where do you place your father's authority? Huh?"

"King of Qi and King of Chu, why don't you touch the military power? It's because they are not as smart as you. They don't think that this military power is good? That's because they don't dare to touch it, because once they touch the military power, they are finished. They will never have the chance to have it again in this life. That seat.”

At this time, the prince stood still, thinking about Shen Huan's words in his mind.

In fact, he is not stupid, but because he was forced too hard by King Qi and King Chu, and he also had some psychological problems, he was unwilling to trust others.

When something happens, just hold it in and think about it. Although you are a prince, you are old, and your vision and knowledge are limited. How can you see so many deep things?

He couldn't think of a good way, and he didn't believe those subordinate officials. In the end, he could only discuss it with Guo Fang, the chamberlain who had been following him for many years.

Then Guo Fang is not a good guy, and he has no brains. If he really had a brain, how could he instigate the prince to teach Hongxiu a lesson?

"I'm asking the prince, when you were designing Princess Zhaode, did you ever think that she would be the savior of you and your mother?"
