Chapter 766
"The cruelest punishment for a person is to let him not get everything he wants, and see the monstrous power he has obtained come to naught. It is the same for men and women."

Dongfang Mu's eyes flickered slightly, with a smile on his face: "Zhi'er means to make King Xiao and Empress 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 grew stronger: "Grandpa, I don't know how to play power games, and I don't know how to deal with them most effectively, but you and Chu Yan must have a way to deal with them, right?"

Dongfang Mu snorted, "I, Dongfang Mu, have never stood in line. 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 never helped him with anything, every step of the way, he walked by himself."

This is also the biggest reason why he admires Chu Yan, and Chu Feng, who was born in the imperial city and grew up in the imperial city, is two years older than Chu Yan, but he has never set an example for an elder brother for a day as an elder brother. Forming cliques for personal gain, he would be involved in everything that has anything to do with the nobles. If such a person becomes the emperor, then the state of Chu will not be far from subjugation.

Chu Feng was able to be crowned prince and help his mother to be the empress. It was actually because of Chu Yan's victories on the front line 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 saw everything, but he didn't tell the truth. It didn't mean that he was too old to argue.

The emperor knew everything in his mind, in order to stabilize the court situation, he could only slow things down for a while, and opened and closed eyes on certain things.

But the key points and principles have never changed in his heart. Otherwise, Chu Feng would not be the only prince. As for the empress position, it doesn't matter if Su Chun is temporarily seated. It is still unknown who will take the seat in the end.

"I once swore before the late emperor's sickbed that in order to stabilize the court, I would never stand in line first, not join courtiers, and not hold half of the country's military power. But now, the situation is constantly changing, and I, too, have to If we continue to stick to our 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 without a trace, and for some reason, a deep sense of loss suddenly surged in her heart.

Dongfang Mu nodded: "The Kingdom of Chu needs a Mingjun, and only a Mingjun can keep the Chu Kingdom strong. Otherwise, the national strength will be weakened, and those neighboring countries that have always been eyeing our Chu Kingdom will rush in. Then, When the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, the people of Chu State will live in peril forever."

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

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

Bai Zhi shook her head and forced a smile: "No, how could I be unhappy, I am very happy."

Dongfang Mu couldn't see through Bai Zhi. This child seemed to have a seven-aperture exquisite heart. She had many ideas and thoughts. I don't know what she is thinking now.

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

If one day, Chu Yan really ascended the throne as the emperor, what would she do?Is she going to be kept in captivity for a lifetime in that cannibalistic harem?
