Chapter 1212 Love the Beauty but Not the Country

Meng Nan didn't understand what he was trying to say, and looked at his father blankly, waiting for his next words.

Lord Meng said again: "Eight years later, Dongfang Mu returned to the power of Emperor Taishang. At that time, the imperialists were single-minded, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the throne of Taishanghuang was so stable. Coupled with Dongfang Mu's support, the Chu country became more and more powerful."

"Father, what are you trying to say?" Meng Nan vaguely guessed some clues, and his expression began to change.

"I want to tell you that even if the emperor is young and incompetent, as long as there is a competent regent minister, the country of Chu can still be prosperous and prosperous." High-ranking, still so young, is the best candidate.

Meng Nan smiled reluctantly and said, "Father, I'm afraid you are thinking too much. Even if the emperor really gives the throne to the ninth prince, I'm afraid he just wants to return the power to the emperor. If there is an emperor, do you still need the minister regent? ?"

Master Meng said: "Others may think so if they don't know the inside story, including me, I thought the same way before, but the concubine told the father that the emperor's health is getting worse day by day. Even if he takes over this stall, he will never It won't last long, this Minister Regent, sooner or later, belongs to our Meng family, so he can't escape."

As for the Meng family, he has only one direct son. In recent years, his father's health has not been as good as before. Judging from what he means, does it belong to him?

Meng Nan's heart was surging for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Have the concubine ever said, why does the emperor want the throne?" Meng Nan asked.

The excitement on Mr. Meng's face instantly dissipated, and a cold snort spewed out from his nose, "Hmph—to put it nicely, it means that you love beauty but not the country, and to put it badly, it's because of color --"

"Father!" Meng Nan interrupted him, his face sank.

Mr. Meng was even more displeased: "You are the same, what have you done to yourself for a woman? Tell me how old you are now? The children of your classmates have all gone to school, how about you?"

Meng Nan was annoyed. For the past three years, these words have been repeated in his ears over and over again. Aren't their mouths tired?

"So what my father means is that the emperor intends to give up the throne for Baizhi?" Meng Nan asked carefully.

Lord Meng nodded: "Although the concubine didn't say it clearly, but listening to her words, it should be like this."

"The concubine has never liked to fight, why would she say such a thing to you this time?" The concubine in Meng Nan's memory was as elegant as a white lotus, and it really didn't look like she was willing to be involved in a power struggle.

Master Meng said: "It's not because of the disappearance of the ninth prince. She said that she didn't like to fight, she thought it would be good to have a son by her side. In the future, when the emperor passed away, she would go out of the palace with her son and live there. Enter the palace and live a peaceful life."

But after this catastrophe, she wanted to understand a lot of things. If she wanted to survive in this imperial court, she had to fight and sit in a high position. , do not turn over.

It would be fine if the emperor did not take the seat of meditation. The current emperor, with a kind heart and a bright approach, would never do anything to her mother and son, but what if someone else took this seat?

For her and her children, she had to start planning.

She couldn't trust the people of the Chu family, so naturally she could only count on her parents' family.

"Nan'er, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you must not miss it." Master Meng grabbed Meng Nan's wrist and hurriedly said.
