Chapter 116: The Situation of the Meng Family

Jiang Yunqing frowned when he heard this: "Uncle? ”

Meng Shaoning's question just now no longer looked like he was simply chatting with her.

On the contrary, it carries a bit of school examination, even temptation.

Meng Shaoning looked at her: "Don't worry, say it boldly." ”

Jiang Yunqing hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then he pondered and said: "When people are in the world, there are often times when they have to do it, and this is especially true when they are in the court. ”

"Unless there is no power in his hands, or he is dependent on the emperor without a bottom line, and he knows that the emperor will never be jealous, no one can be alone in the struggle for imperial power."

Although Jiang Yunqing did not answer Meng Shaoning's question directly, the words in her mouth already represented her attitude.

Meng Shaoning laughed when he heard this: "You can see it clearly." ”

He put the teacup in his hand on the table and looked at Jiang Yunqing.

"Three generations of our Meng family have been generals, expelling foreign captives for Dayan, pacifying the territory, and killing countless enemies on the battlefield, and the Meng family who died for the world of Dayan is even more innumerable."

"My Meng family is based on the sea of corpses and blood, and the lives of three generations of men are fighting together, so that they have made a lot of achievements and won today's glory."

"My father worships a product as an official, and he has a knighthood, and the eldest brother and the third brother guard the frontier, holding nearly thirty percent of Dayan's military power in their hands."

"Everyone says that my Meng family is prosperous, rich and noble, and envy my Meng family for the emperor's favor, but who can know that the Meng family is now walking on the edge of the cliff, and it may fall into the abyss at any time."

Jiang Yunqing listened to Meng Shaoning's words, and said with a solemn expression: "Uncle is saying that the merit is high and the master is shocked?" ”

Meng Shaoning nodded, sighed and said:

"When the first emperor was alive, he was an extremely wise lord, knowing how to make good use of people, opening up his voice, and even having the same division as his eldest brother and second brother, and having the friendship of teachers."

"The first emperor relied on the Meng family very much, and after ascending the throne, he repeatedly added seals, and then directly handed over the military power to most of the Meng family, and was willing to try his best to help his father and eldest brother to pacify Beidi and Nanyuan, but then the first emperor died suddenly, and Emperor Yuan Cheng then ascended the throne, and the military power held by my father and our Meng family has completely become a hot potato."

"Your Majesty has never been a broad-minded person, not only suspicious and jealous, but also extremely controlling, and because of the discord between him and the former emperor, he can't tolerate the side of the couch, and there are existences that can threaten his throne."

"In the past few years, Emperor Yuan Cheng seems to trust the Meng family, but in fact, he has repeatedly made secret moves, taking the opportunity to cut our Meng family's military power several times, and even trapped my father in Beijing."

"If it weren't for the fact that he still cared about the eldest brother and the third brother who were outside, and he was afraid that the persecution would be too great, which would make the eldest brother and them turn against him, I am afraid that the Meng family would not be so peaceful now."

Jiang Yunqing said in a deep voice when he heard this: "Doesn't grandpa know this? ”

"How could my father not know."

Meng Shaoning said in a low voice, "My father was originally a fierce tiger in the territory and was trapped in Beijing, how could he not understand His Majesty's thoughts, but the Meng family is a loyal person, and my father will never rashly set off a war because of his own selfishness, so that Dayan will fall into the chaos of war." ”

"Over the years, Emperor Yuancheng has been pressing step by step, and my father has made countless concessions."

"The second brother changed from real power to virtual position, stayed in Beijing, I secretly did business, and I didn't dare to touch the slightest official career, but Emperor Yuan Cheng was still not satisfied, and even proposed that he wanted the Meng family to return the military power in their hands to the royal family."

"But Yun Qing, you said that this military power, can you hand it over?"
