Princess of the auxiliary country

"Gu, I have thought about it, but I don't want to marry her."

Hearing this, Shen Huan sneered again.

"You don't want to marry her, so you have to destroy her? Then have you ever thought about going over to explain your feelings to the queen and the emperor?"

"I know that you don't dare to go. As a prince, you don't have the responsibility you should have. Instead, in order to achieve your own goals, you plotted against your cousin and your benefactor."

"When you did this, did you ever think that once exposed, you would be stigmatized as ruthless, cold-blooded, and ungrateful?"

"There is no grudge against her, and she is my cousin and even my benefactor."

"Do you think the emperor can allow you to securely ascend to the throne?"

"If you take the throne, will King Qi and King Chu still have a way to live? You are the emperor's son, and so are they. Do you think the emperor will be willing to see them die?"

"Think about it for yourself. If one day you were faced with a situation like this, would you be willing to allow someone to come to power who would swing the butcher's knife at his own brothers?"

Several consecutive questions made the prince stagger back several steps.

He knew a lot about this. When he was still grounded, Queen Shen had someone tell him in private, and said that this was what the emperor said.

It focuses on his ruthless and unjust behavior towards his blood relatives and benefactors.

"Originally, everything has been settled. The Emperor has agreed to your marriage to Zhao Yan'er without pursuing it too much. He is already partial to you."

"What about you? But you didn't know how to restrain yourself. Instead, you vented your anger on a slave."

"Is this the ambition of the crown prince of your country?"

"People say that you are unreasonable and unforgiving. You are indeed unreasonable and unforgiving."

"He is ruthless and unjust, narrow-minded and unyielding, and does things based on his preferences. If it were you, would you be willing to follow someone like this?"

"For such a person, do you think the courtiers will allow you to ascend to power?"

As soon as these words came out, the prince's legs weakened and he fell to the ground with a pale face.

Seeing him like this, Shen Huan didn't stop outputting yet.

Severe cases require strong medicine. While the emperor has not taken any action yet, if the prince changes, there may be another chance.

After all, no one has ever had troubles, so knowing your mistakes can help you improve a lot.

"You always think that your position as the crown prince is unstable, and you always try to win over courtiers everywhere, hoping to consolidate your position as the crown prince."

"But I don't know that the more you do this, the more unstable the position of the prince will be."

"You are the prince. Do what a prince should do. Who can dethrone you from the throne?"

"As long as you don't make a big mistake, even the emperor can't easily destroy you."

"I really don't understand, what are you afraid of?"

"King of Qi and King of Chu? The methods they used against you are just words to take advantage."

"Perhaps you may think that they have too much power with [-]% to [-]% of the court's civil servants standing behind them."

"You have read so many books, but there is one country that the literati conquered with their mouths?"

"Those people can just talk nonsense in the court. You are the crown prince personally named by the emperor, which is equivalent to the future heir of the Yu Dynasty. From the day you ascend to the throne, more than [-]% of the nobles of the Yu Dynasty have your firm support. By."

"They all hold military power, and they dare to attack and kill those who dare to fight. What do the civil servants under the king of Qi and the king of Chu mean to them?"

"Come on, tell me, what are you afraid of?"

The real power of a dynasty is not the royal family or the civil servants, but the huge group of nobles.These talents are the most powerful people in the dynasty society, and they are also the people who the royal family can trust most. They are also the staunchest supporters of the royal family.

Because as long as the imperial power is still the same as the imperial power they defeated in the first place, they can always enjoy the privileges, glory and wealth.

When one is prosperous, both are prosperous, and when one is harmed, both are harmed. This is the relationship between the royal family and the nobles.

After all, if the royal family is gone, will they still be noble?Can I still enjoy the privileges of being an honorary?

When a prince is ennobled, he is the future heir designated by the royal family, and he is also the person on whom the nobles will rely in the future.

As long as they don't make mistakes, it is undoubtedly a dream for those civil servants to want to touch the prince, especially someone like the King of Qi and King Chu who has always been close to the civil servants.

Why does the emperor not allow the kings of Qi and Chu to touch the military power? This is the bottom line. The nobles can only support the heirs he chooses. Anyone who tries to touch other princes will be punished.

This is why the emperor agreed to his marriage to Zhao Yaner and did not take back Cao Guogong's military power.

To put it bluntly, he wanted the prince to get in touch with the nobles first, but Emperor Zhaowu was also afraid that the prince would become stronger in advance.

So he would have some reservations. King Qi and King Chu were not deliberately cultivated by him to check and balance the prince.

At this time, the prince was completely dumbfounded and shocked by Shen Huan's words.

Did it turn out that there were so many people supporting him?

And they are all nobles who hold military power.

"Now you go back to the Queen and admit your mistake sincerely, then go to the Emperor, and finally go to Princess Zhaode in person to sincerely apologize, and maybe you can make some recovery, otherwise you will have no future."

As he spoke, he restrained his previous harshness, his tone became gentle, and he helped the prince up who had fallen to the ground.

He even sent him out of the mansion himself.

The prince returned to the East Palace in a daze, sitting in the main hall in a daze, replaying the words Shen Huan said to him over and over in his mind.

There was too much content in these words that required him to think carefully. At the same time, these words had a great impact on his soul, almost washing away many of his past cognitions.

The King of Qi and King Chu, who gave him a headache and fear, was nothing more than a clown in Zhao Guogong's eyes.

He was so scared. Maybe the nobles were disappointed when they saw him like this?

He sat like this all night, thinking constantly in his mind.

He didn't come back to his senses until the chamberlain came over and told him that it was time to prepare for the morning court.

He mechanically looked up at the sky outside, then slowly got up to wash and change clothes.

At this time, outside the government hall, hundreds of officials have arrived. Today is the court meeting, and many officials who do not usually go to court are here.

With the arrival of Duke Ji Huo Jingzhi, these officials gathered together in twos and threes and whispered about the rumors in the capital yesterday.

"Lao Huo, what happened yesterday? There are rumors everywhere in the capital."

Ning Guo Gong Cheng Yong came to Ji Guo Gong and asked.

He was born with a loud voice. Even if he deliberately lowered his voice, he still attracted the attention of many people, especially those nobles who gathered around him.

"What else could it be? The people in the house are ignorant and offend the nobles, so they should be punished."

Hearing this, Cheng Yong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are the rumors true? Is the maid next to your girl really beaten by the prince?"

Huo Jingzhi didn't say anything more, but his actions were undoubtedly acquiescence. At that moment, many nobles frowned slightly.
