Chapter 769

"The most cruel punishment for a person is to prevent him from getting everything he wants, and to see the monstrous power in his hands vanish. This is true for men, and it is also true for women."

Dongfang Mu's eyes flickered slightly, with a smile on his face: "Zhi'er means that you want King Xiao and the queen to become the laughing stock of the world, and even be scolded by the world, so that the emperor has a reason to depose them?"

The smile on Bai Zhi's face gradually deepened: "Grandpa, I don't know how to deal with them, and I don't know how to deal with them. However, you and Chu Yan must have a way to deal with them, right?"

Dongfang Mu lightly snorted, "I, Dongfang Mu, never stand in line, all the princes need to rely on their own abilities to gain power. Chu Yan's achievements today are all due to his own efforts. Although I am his master, in the political situation , but he has never helped him, step by step, he is walking by himself."

This is also the biggest reason why he admires Chu Yan, and Chu Feng, who was born in the imperial city, grew up in the imperial city, is two years older than Chu Yan, but he has never set an example as an elder brother for a day, and blatantly in the court Forming a party for selfishness, as long as he has something to do with the waste of the nobles, he is involved in everything. If such a person becomes an emperor, then the state of Chu will not be far from being destroyed.

Chu Feng was able to be named a prince, and he was able to raise his mother to the position of empress. In fact, it was Chu Yan's victories on the front lines over the years.

After Chu Yan disappeared, he took over all of Chu Yan's forces in the northwest before the other brothers. The emperor took everything in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

The emperor knew everything in his heart. In order to stabilize the court situation, he could only slow things down for a while, and open and close one eye to certain things.

But the key and principle have never changed in his heart. Otherwise, Chu Feng would not have been named the prince. As for the queen's position, it would be fine for Su Chun to sit for a while, and it was not known who would sit in the end.

"I once swore before the late emperor's sick bed that for the sake of the stability of the imperial court, I would never stand in line first, would not be in the company of courtiers, and would not hold half of the military power of the country, but now, the situation has been changing, and I have no choice but to Change, if you continue to stick to the previous oath, the future of Chu State will be in jeopardy."

Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows: "So, are you planning to stand in line?" The joy on her face suddenly disappeared, and for some reason, a deep sense of loss surged up in her heart.

Dongfang Mu nodded: "The state of Chu needs a wise ruler, and only with a wise ruler can the state of Chu continue to remain strong, otherwise, the country will be weak, and those neighboring states that have been eyeing our Chu state will surely flood in. At that time, When the country is destroyed and the family perishes, the people of the Chu country will live forever in the danger of water and fire."

Bai Zhi lowered her eyes, sighed softly, sat beside Dongfang Mu, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

Seeing her abnormal state, Dongfang Mu asked, "Zhi'er, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and smiled reluctantly: "No, how can I be unhappy, I'm very happy."

Dongfang Mu can't see through Bai Zhi, this child seems to have a seven orifices and an exquisite heart, with many ideas and thoughts, I don't know what she is thinking now.

Bai Zhi's mood suddenly dropped, and she sent Dongfang Mu away, lying on the couch in a daze.

If one day, Chu Yan really becomes emperor, what will she do? Is she going to be kept in captivity for a lifetime in that cannibalistic harem?
