Chapter 364; opportunity
Since ancient times, the prince's battle has been very cruel, even though the crown prince has disappointed her in recent years.
even followed Emperor Zhaowu to have the idea of deposing the crown prince.
But in the end, it was her own son, and it was okay to depose the prince, but she would not want to see his life in danger anyway.
This is also the fundamental reason why she did not hesitate to express her support for the deposition of the crown prince when she knew that Emperor Zhaowu intended to put Wen Ruo on the throne.
If Emperor Zhaowu hadn't shown what she meant to Wen Ruo at that time, she would definitely not have agreed.
After all, Emperor Zhaowu only has a few sons, and the king of Qi and the king of Chu are not good at stubble, if they are allowed to take the throne, I am afraid that either the prince will be in danger, or Wen Ruo may not die well.
As for Wen Ruo's youngest son, Queen Shen is indescribably satisfied, this child has a very good personality and is very kind.
What's more, Wen Ruo and the crown prince are also brothers of the same mother.
In this way, even if Wen Ruo ascends to the throne in the future, the prince will not be in any great danger.
For the prince, she has also figured it out now, his character is really not suitable for fighting in the court, it is better to completely break his mind in the future, and let him be an honest rich idler.
"There's no need for a lesson."
Emperor Zhaowu suddenly spoke, and an indescribable meaning flashed in his eyes.
Empress Shen on the side was stunned and turned her head to look over, the two had been married for many years, and when she saw him like this, Empress Shen knew that he was afraid that he had other thoughts in his heart.
Before Emperor Zhaowu could speak, he withdrew all the people in the room.
When everyone had gone out, he spoke; "Queen, I've been worrying about one thing lately."
Empress Shen nodded, and she had already guessed in her heart what Emperor Zhaowu was worried about.
Seeing her like this, Emperor Zhaowu knew that he understood what he was thinking, so he didn't pick it out.
"I think this is an opportunity."
As soon as he said this, Empress Shen immediately guessed Emperor Zhaowu's plan, and her complexion immediately changed.
"Your Majesty, you can't."
"They are all your sons, although the King of Qi and the King of Chu are not from the concubines, but they also called the queen mother of the concubines for so many years, and the concubines really can't bear to see the three of them come to the point of fighting each other."
The opportunity that Emperor Zhaowu said, Empress Shen naturally knew.
Deposing the crown prince is not a simple matter, and it is not something that can be decided with a fluttering sentence.
There are a lot of old stubborns in the court, if Emperor Zhaowu dares to say that he will depose the prince for no reason, he will definitely be unanimously opposed by these old stubborns.
Especially Meng Xuancheng, this guy is hard and shafted, and he is still a big troll.
Emperor Zhaowu was jealous of him, for fear of being caught by him, if he dared to depose the prince directly without reason, he was afraid that he would be sprayed by this old guy.
Besides, Emperor Zhaowu not only wanted to depose the crown prince, but also wanted to take this opportunity to knock and cut off the wings of the kings of Qi and Chu.
After all, Wen Ruo is only eleven or twelve years old, even if the crown prince is abolished and he is put on the throne, if the king of Qi and the king of Chu do not deal with it well, Wen Ruo will have a very difficult life even if he is the prince.
After all, the king of Qi and the king of Chu don't even pay attention to the eldest son of the crown prince, let alone a second son?
Even he felt that if the King of Qi and the King of Chu were not dealt with well, then even if the deposed prince went well, there would be no problem in supporting Wen Ruo to ascend to the throne.
Wen Ruo is afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of the prince.
Prince, in fact, it was not as unbearable as it is now, after all, Emperor Zhaowu and Empress Shen also put a lot of effort into it.
Why is this happening? It's not because the King of Qi and the King of Chu are pressed too hard, and the prince is too unconfident, the old man tremblingly feels that his position as the crown prince will be snatched away.
That's why they constantly want to increase their own power, rather than enhancing their own strength.
He may think that as long as he has enough courtiers, he will be able to compete with the king of Qi and the king of Chu, but the more he does this, the more dangerous it becomes.
Because there are more people to woo, there are more thoughts.
Many times, even if he doesn't come forward himself, someone will come forward, and those under their command want to have a future, but if they perceive the slightest threat, they will target the opponent.
This is also the fundamental reason why the princes will become more and more obvious after entering the court.
Many things are not actually their intention, but more because of the influence of the people under them.
Others are willing to follow them, that is thinking that there are benefits, so how do these benefits come about? It can only be snatched from someone else's hands.
"Queen, I understand your thoughts, and I naturally don't want to see them like this, but I have to do it."
Although as a father, he calculates his son like this, and his mind is quite dirty.
But he is also the emperor of a country, for the future of the Yu Dynasty, there are some things he has to do, not to mention for the people of the world, even if it is for his own good reputation, he must do it.
If the chosen heir is too crotch-pulling, what if he does a good job?
What will future generations say about him?
Mixed merits, or confused?
He is an ambitious and ambitious emperor, and naturally he will not allow his reputation to be tarnished in the future.
"Don't worry, even the three hairy boys who haven't grown their hair still want to make waves in front of me?"
The battle of the three eldest children was too low-level in his opinion.
If he hadn't wanted to hone them, he would have been able to suppress them with the same means as they did.
But after so many years of observation, he also found that these three good children are really not good.
The qualifications are there, and no matter how much they hone them, they can't achieve what he wants.
Let's not talk about the distance, let's talk about these two recent events.
The incident of Bluestone Lane was the most disappointing for him.
has already made up their minds to kill people and rob money, and they can still leave such a big handle on the scene.
Yesterday, he asked Gao Fu to investigate the incident of Bluestone Lane again, and he still felt that it was too much of a coincidence.
However, Gao Fu's investigation results showed no abnormal findings, and he completely let go of his suspicions.
Because of this, he was even more disappointed that the methods of the crown prince and the king of Chu were too low-level.
Let's talk about the fire, he also asked Gao Fu to investigate, although the process was a little twists and turns, but in the end it was locked on King Qi.
Putting aside this matter for the time being, whether King Qi did it too ruthlessly, judging from King Qi's plan alone, his methods are a little more clever than the crown prince and the king of Chu.
Of course, it's only a little bit.
Although Emperor Zhaowu was somewhat satisfied with King Qi in terms of means, he did not like King Qi's approach, and he could even be said to be a little angry.
King Qi's idea was very good, but the means were too ruthless, and the fire affected many innocent people, and there were many dead and injured.
This was just under the curfew, and many people had not yet fallen asleep, so if the time was a little late, and people had already gone to sleep, would the fire be extinguished in time?
If it is not extinguished in time, how many will be affected?
