Chapter 378; thinking
At first, he still regretted it occasionally, but as the company got better and better, his regret became heavier and heavier.
If I hadn't made a wrong step in the first place, how could I be struggling so much now?
Thinking of what his mother told him, he wondered if he had something wrong with his brain at that time.
His mother wanted to love him even more, the position of the crown princess was so important, how could she only allow him to go out because of her gratitude?
At that time, he didn't understand, but in recent years, he has become familiar with the court, and he finally understands something.
At that time, his mother wanted to draw the Duke of Ji Guo to his East Palace warship by repaying her kindness.
Ji Guogong, that is, his uncle, is not a simple character on the surface, although he looks like a transparent person in the court.
But as long as he doesn't come out, it will inevitably attract the seconding of many officials.
Moreover, the officials in the court never went back to find trouble with him, even the big troll Meng Xuancheng never went to trouble him.
As for other ministers, like Li Jiujun, Ning Guogong, and even Fang Qiao, they will all be targeted from time to time.
It already made him feel terrible.
But there is something that makes him even more terrifying, that is, he can see that Ji Guogong has strong connections in the court, but his father and emperor turn a blind eye to him and use him very much.
It was only after thinking about this that he regretted his mistake even more.
It is estimated that at that time, his mother had already seen Ji Guogong's arrogance and wanted to win him over, but as a result, he only saw Cao Guogong's power at that time, and he ignored this real boss and offended him very much.
Although Cao Guogong is still a little powerful, after those few incidents, he has gradually been marginalized by his father, and when many important issues need to be discussed, there is no Cao Guogong among the ministers who are summoned.
More than once he secretly sighed and regretted it.
So at this time, I heard that Zhou Tong actually wanted to use means to force and snatch the things in Huo Junyao's hands.
His first reaction was fear, and the second was unwilling.
It's easy to understand that he is afraid, now that people are not what they used to be, he is already on the same page as King Qi and King Chu, at this time, if he provokes Huo Junyao again, he is afraid that it will be more difficult.
As for saying that he is unwilling, he naturally still has some illusions in his heart.
I hope that I can find an opportunity to talk about easing the relationship between each other in the future, and then wait until I ascend to the throne, and then directly enter Huo Junyao into the harem after issuing an order.
When she becomes her own woman, after coaxing her, admitting her mistakes, and writing off the past, let her become her own help for eternity.
As for the current crown princess Dong, it is a pity that he has no feelings at all.
Even though Zhao Yan'er had been dead for a while, he still hadn't been to Dong's side, as if she didn't exist.
And the Dong family is also very sensible, and he is not higher than any moth, but arranges the affairs in the East Palace in an orderly manner.
He felt that as long as the Dong family had always been so sensible, it would be nothing for her to sit in the position of the crown princess all the time, and as for the position of queen, he already had a plan in his heart, which was also the biggest bargaining chip he felt would use to win over Huo Junyao.
After all, no woman can refuse to become a queen and become the most honorable woman in the whole world.
"This matter, you have to think about it, you should step back first."
When Zhou Tong heard this, he was still a little unwilling in his heart, and hurriedly spoke; "Your Highness, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and once you get it, the benefits to you will be visible to the naked eye."
"First of all, the position will be very stable, and secondly, it will be able to get rid of King Qi and King Chu again."
"The most important thing is that you have something in your hand, which is a very good hole card."
This Zhou Tong has been talking about the benefits, but he doesn't mention anything about what the consequences will be if this matter is not successful.
I also don't know if I didn't think of doing this, once the news spreads, will the king of Qi and the king of Chu sit still.
"What you said, Lone knows, Lone still has to think about it, you step back first."
Seeing that he said so resolutely, Zhou Tong didn't dare to continue to say more, and honestly bowed and retreated.
As soon as he left the door, a flash of annoyance and disdain flashed across his face.
The crown prince sitting in the main hall was silently thinking about Zhou Tong's words just now.
Although he is not very smart, he is not completely brainless, and he knows the benefits that he has said, but the consequences are not small.
The reason why he agreed to let Zhou pass go was also to see if he could get some advantage by attacking the Turks.
The result has not worked out now, and Zhou Tong still wants him to use strong means.
This has to make him cautious, he already has a different mind about Huo Junyao, and is thinking about finding an opportunity to make up for it, if something happens at this time, I am afraid that there will be no chance to make peace in the future.
Of course, he didn't know that even if nothing happened, there was no possibility of peace, but there was always fantasy.
Moreover, in his opinion, Huo Junyao is his aunt's child, that is a real relative, and the relationship between his father and the queen mother and the little aunt is also very good.
Of course, the most important point is that although he can't stand Huo Junyao, he didn't do that kind of non-stop, it was nothing more than letting Huo Junyao break off his marriage, he was willing to promise a queen's throne, which would be tantamount to making up for it, although it was a few years late, but isn't this son still hers?
Although he knew this very well in his heart, he was also very enthusiastic about the homemade bomb.
Now the situation in the court, the King of Qi and the King of Chu are also getting more and more powerful, especially the King of Chu, who has now gone to the household department, although the King of Qi has nothing to catch, but the King of Qi, he is still quite jealous, so he does not dare to take it lightly.
He urgently needs a big merit to stabilize the current situation.
After thinking about it, he has no way to give up? He was unwilling, and he was even more reluctant to do something to Huo Junyao.
Finally, he slowly got up and found Shen Huan.
Although Shen Huan has been serving in the East Palace all these years, his uncle and nephew basically have little intersection except for the study time of one hour a day.
On the one hand, it is naturally because the crown prince is too busy and is busy wooing courtiers everywhere.
On the other hand, it is naturally because Shen Huan has already understood the emperor's thoughts, and he is naturally unwilling to devote too much effort to the prince, anyway, one will not come to find it, and the other will not take the initiative to move forward.
This prince was suddenly a little embarrassed, and wanted to ask himself how he should choose this uncle, whom he had ignored for a long time.
