Chapter 340 The Skinny Horse from Yangzhou Sent to Disrupt the Country (37)

The high and mighty Regent bowed his head for the first time, appearing to be submitting to the emperor, and his movements were done in one smooth motion.

Only Shi Yanqing himself knew that he had let go of his long-held obsession and was willing to send his son to the throne.

The former crown prince, the newly appointed Prince of Zhenbei, was not willing to lag behind and immediately responded without hesitation.

"Long live the emperor, long ...

——They all bowed their heads for love, there is nothing shameful about it.

Just like that, with the joint efforts of these three powerful men, this incident that could have caused an uproar ended at an extremely fast speed.

Although the ministers still had some doubts and anxieties in their hearts, facing such a strong situation, they could only respond and shout in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand live the prince."

"We, your Majesty, congratulate the Crown Prince. May our dynasty last forever!"

The coiled dragon on the dome of the golden palace seemed to come alive, with its claws bared and dancing in the shadows, as if it wanted to break through the constraints of the dome and soar into the sky.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The little prince in swaddling clothes has now grown into a young man in his prime.

During these ten years, he was carefully cultivated by three "fathers".

Shi Yuzhao is like a rough jade that combines the strengths of hundreds of schools, blooming with dazzling brilliance.

In terms of civil administration, influenced by Shi Wenjin, Shi Yuzhao was well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge, could quote historical books and classics at will, and could talk about the strategies of governing the country with a keen insight into the situation in the court.

When he wrote memorials, his handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and his layout and planning showed the style of a great man. When he talked about how to govern the country and maintain peace, his insights were unique and profound, which attracted the admiration of all the ministers.

In martial arts, Shi Qi Jin taught everything he had learned throughout his life.

Shi Yuzhao rode on his horse, his posture straight and upright like a pine tree, and when he swung his sword, it was like a tiger with wind, and the sword shadows flew around showing his fierce momentum;

He draws the bow and shoots the arrow with a determined look in his eyes. The arrow flies off the string and accurately hits the bull's eye in the distance. His skill of shooting the arrow through the target from a hundred paces away is amazing.

In terms of political strategy and the art of coping, Shi Yanqing's teachings undoubtedly set a good example for Shi Yuzhao.

Faced with the complicated situation and undercurrent of power struggle in the court, Shi Yuzhao showed extraordinary calmness and composure.

He can always quickly grasp the key points in complex situations and skillfully use various strategies to deal with them.

Shi Yuzhao not only knows how to weigh the pros and cons, but can also use thunder and lightning to intimidate those with ulterior motives when necessary.

Every decision he makes is carefully considered, taking into account both long-term interests and the current situation.

Today, Shi Yuzhao is a man who is both capable of maintaining peace and stability in the country through literary means, capable of conquering the battlefield through martial arts, and adept at the art of power and intrigue.

He is truly proficient in both civil and military strategies, and has become the most solid pillar of the empire's future. The civil and military officials in the court and the people of the world have high hopes for him.

In late spring, the setting sun shines through the carved window lattices, casting mottled light and shadows, and cutting out fine golden lines on the jade floor tiles.

Shi Yuzhao gently closed "The Strategy of Governing the World", and the rosewood bookcase and the desk triggered a slight sound, which startled the copper bells on the eaves to tinkle.

He lowered his eyes to adjust the dark pattern on his cuffs. The python pattern embroidered on the black fabric glowed coldly in the twilight, as if immersing this small study in frost.

"The Queen has arrived—"

The moment the announcement broke the silence, stars suddenly lit up in the boy's eyes.

Shi Yuzhao almost staggered to his feet, and even the jade crown that tied his hair was slightly tilted. He looked nothing like the calm and composed person he usually was when assisting with government affairs in the court.

When the bright yellow brocade skirt swept over the threshold, Shi Yuzhao was already kneeling on one knee, but his forehead inadvertently brushed against the pearl tassels hanging from his mother's head.

Only at this time did Shi Yuzhao finally reveal the purest joy that belonged to his age.

Behind him, Qing Wu was leaning on a gilded phoenix staff and walking slowly into the room. She had mutton-fat jade bracelets on her wrists, and as she moved, the jade bracelets collided with each other, making crisp and pleasant sounds.

A jade-inlaid hairpin was inserted in her elegant hair, trembling gently with her steps, gathering all the spring light in the room between her eyebrows.

Her whole body is unattainable, and she is a delicate being nurtured with all the best things.

Qingwu naturally doted on her only son.

In order to allow the three of them to raise Shi Yuzhao wholeheartedly, Qingwu only planned to have this one child.

She also didn't want to hurt her body and beauty any more.

Having this one thing is enough for her to enjoy all the glory and wealth in the world.

Shi Yuzhao never let her down.

However, at this moment, the Crown Prince, who was highly praised by outsiders, suddenly threw himself into his mother's arms like an ordinary child.

In fact, such an opportunity is rare for Shi Yuzhao.

After all, everyone regarded him as the hope for the future of the Dashi Dynasty and placed high hopes on him.

Although his three fathers all loved him, they were also very strict with him.

But to be honest, those three fathers...

Shi Yuzhao doesn't like any of them.

He only loves his mother, who is the most beautiful in the world and the most noble in the dynasty.

And to him, those so-called fathers were nothing more than people trying to compete with him for his mother's time.

He actually knew that those people's love for him was only because they loved his mother and her family.

The expectations and training for him were nothing more than a gesture of goodwill towards his mother.

Moreover, those people were particularly good at vying for favor, and often used the excuse that he needed to study to reduce or even prevent him from meeting his mother.

As expected, the Crown Prince's nose was still lingering with the faint fragrance of his mother. Before he could cherish this gentle breath, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of rings colliding behind him.

Shi Yanqing was wearing a purple python robe, and the golden threads on the robe shone brightly in the candlelight.

He stood there quietly, his hands clasped behind his back. The jade crown on his forehead accentuated his stern features. "Your Highness, the Zhou Li states, 'Boys and girls over seven years old may not sit together.' You are already past the age of a tiara."

"You've grown up now, and you shouldn't treat the Queen like this anymore."

The regent's voice was low and steady, as if it contained endless majesty, but his dark eyes revealed a hint of indescribable emotion.

Shi Yuzhao couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The young man clenched the corner of his clothes, and his knuckles turned blue and white due to the force.

When he was teaching just now, the regent patiently explained the tactics of power in the "Zizhi Tongjian", looking like a stern yet gentle father.

When he saw Qingwu hugging him, his voice turned completely cold.

That's ridiculous.

—— This powerful official who could make things happen in the court became a petty child in front of the queen mother.
