Chapter 232: Everything is a chess piece
In the study room of the eldest princess's mansion, the atmosphere was quite dull, only Wu Meiniang and the eldest princess Ji Yunshang looked at each other silently.
The eldest princess was silent for a moment, her heroic eyebrows slightly raised. She lowered her head slightly, put her eyes on the low case again, casually raised her plain white long sleeves, picked up the pen and wrote on the desk, and said indifferently: "Niangniang said that she laughed, how can Yunshang be able to become the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty?" ”
"Your Majesty thinks you can, you can." Wu Meiniang looked at Ji Yunsheng, her eyes were a little complicated.
From Ji Yunsheng's body, she saw her former self. No, she is better than she once was, and she is more helpless. She is still accompanied by a person who is like a brother and a father, but she wants to swallow all the pain and all the tears in her stomach, and there is no one to talk to, and no one to talk to.
"Why?" Ji Yunshang's eyebrows were frowned, and her wrist shook slightly, leaving a heavenly word on the clean paper. She suddenly raised her head to look at Wu Meiniang, and her voice was a little more fierce. She really couldn't figure out whether this was what Mo Chen meant, or whether it was a trap that Wu Meiniang deliberately left behind.
In the royal family, too much blood was left for that throne.
Father and son cannibalize, brothers fight, no one can refuse the temptation of the supreme in the world, and no one can refuse the supreme authority that commands the world.
The prince, and even the emperor, Ji Yunshang had thought about it, and had thought about replacing it more than once, but she controlled the desire in her heart. It's not because of the oath he once made in front of the first emperor, let alone his loyalty to the royal family and the Great Jin. She just didn't want her blood to be stained and let herself become a person who lost herself for power.
"Perhaps, it's guilt." Wu Meiniang sighed, and there was a little more sadness in her voice.
There can only be one king in the Great Jin, so as to ensure that everything is carried out in an orderly manner. Whether it is the fire of the Great Jin Dynasty left on Penglai, or the world that remembers the glory of the Great Jin Dynasty today.
Mo Chen must choose a king for the Jin people on Penglai, a king who can lead them to the new world.
Wu Meiniang didn't know who the best candidate in Mo Chen's heart was, but it was obvious that although the eldest princess had outstanding achievements, she was not the best candidate in his heart. Because the prince is with the country, her future is destined to stay in this world.
Guilty!
The eldest princess's eyes lifted slightly, revealing a look of surprise. She muttered, and suddenly smiled: "Since this is the case, Yunshang naturally can't refuse." It's just that Yunshang wants to know, what is he guilty about! ”
The eldest princess's eyes were slightly condensed, and her voice was a little heavier.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
It was dark, and it was close to the wee hours of the morning. Mo Chen discussed with Dong Zhongshu and the others for several hours before asking the guards to take them down to rest. When a few people left, one person came out of the inner room of the imperial study, and it was the King of Huainan, who had also been very low-key in recent years.
It's just that the king of Huainan at this time obviously has lost his previous confidence and calmness, and his expression is strange and a little shocking in disbelief. It was the first time he knew the news that the end of the world was coming, and it was also the first time he knew about Penglai. For him, the news came too suddenly, and it was too shocking.
King Huainan walked up to Mo Chen, muttered for a moment before asking, "Why?" ”
When Mo Chen heard this, a little appreciation flashed in his eyes.
King Huainan did not ask about the truth of the end times at the first time, let alone ask himself about the purpose of letting him hide in the inner room. Instead, he asked directly why, obviously thinking about it in his heart. For this nimble junior, Mo Chen was a little more satisfied.
"They need a king." Mo Chen didn't explain too much, and said bluntly.
Because he knew that King Huainan was a smart man, and smart people didn't need others to explain much. A simple answer is enough. At least enough for King Huainan!
"The Ancestor doesn't plan to leave?" King Huainan frowned and hesitated.
"Somebody has to do something. Even if you know that there is little hope, even if you can't see the hope of victory, but since the sky has fallen, someone has to try to carry it. The widow is their king, enjoying the worship of all beings in the world, how can they leave them. Mo Chen's voice was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, and as if he was expounding his heart.
King Huainan's eyes were as deep as the night sky outside, looking at Mo Chen's calm face, he was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The ancestor should understand that if the minister was in that position, he would definitely not choose to carry the sky. ”
"It is because I know that I chose you. Yunshang is not good, his temperament seems to be strong, but he is a little less ruthless and decisive. If the widow was her, she would definitely replace her back then, instead of choosing to pay silently. Penglai is made up of three fairy islands, but the real core is Penglai. The other two fairy islands are not so much a spaceship for escape, but as a frigate for Penglai. Their role is to escort Penglai to the other side of the bitter sea. When necessary, you always have to make a choice, even if it's painful, don't you? ”
Mo Chen's voice was indifferent, so that King Huainan couldn't help but constrict his pupils, and his heart felt a little chilly.
He naturally understood the meaning of Mo Chen's words, and no one knew what he would encounter when he broke through the world. When encountering an intractable danger, there is always a certain amount of sacrifice when necessary. And the other two so-called fairy islands obviously appeared to deal with this kind of thing.
Wait, yes!
King Huainan thought of Mo Chen's request for the Kong family and others to invite the heroes of the world's families, and his heart couldn't help but tremble suddenly. These people, obviously, will not be arranged to Penglai Island.
Yes, although Penglai's affairs are secret, Dajin's next actions will definitely not be completely hidden. After all, if you want to screen out enough talents in a huge empire, how can the movement be small. Not to mention that according to the plan they agreed on before, it will take one to two years for people to adapt to Penglai first.
It is impossible to be completely concealed in such a huge project. Instead of letting them guess or even explore the mystery at all costs, it is better to throw a little bait so that they can have peace of mind!
From the very beginning, the Kong family was a chess piece, a chess piece in the hands of the ancestors.
What needs the books that the Confucian family has treasured for thousands of years, and the relics of the ancient sages, are all just excuses. In order to give them the opportunity to enter this plan and take the initiative to jump out to endorse Dajin.
After all, the thousand-year-old Confucian family is a descendant of a saint, what could be more appropriate than letting them come out and endorse?
The ancestor, such a ruthless method, such a deep calculation.
Those people thought they had taken advantage of it, but they didn't know that in the eyes of the ancestors, they were a pawn that could be discarded at any time from beginning to end. It's just that I don't know why the ancestor kept the jumping clown in Luoyang City, and let those Confucian disciples deceive people outside.
"Go down, it's time for you to get ready. In half a month at most, the tunnel fire plan will become a well-known secret of the world's top people. Mo Chen leaned back on the bench with his eyes slightly closed, waved his hand and said calmly.
King Huainan was in a complicated mood and bowed down and retreated.
"King Huainan knows forbearance and is decisive, but he is a good candidate. Penglai is a big deal, and it is the people like you need to make decisions. When King Huainan left, Wu Meiniang's figure appeared silently in the imperial study. She stood behind Mo Chen, massaged his temples, and said softly.
"Yunshang's instructions are clear."
"It's been told, the kid is very sensible. She knows what to do and she knows where she stands. ”
"Hey, Yunshang's temperament can be a stable emperor, but he can't be an emperor who develops the imperial industry. This is also the widow's compensation for her, I hope everything will go well. Mo Chen sighed, a little helpless.
"For her, His Majesty has done enough. If it weren't for the opportunity to give Yunshang a chance, why would His Majesty keep the clowns of the Ram School for so long. Tomorrow, as long as Yunshang acts according to the plan, there will be no suspense about the position of the prince. Wu Meiniang saw Mo Chen's frowning brows, and her jade hand gently smoothed it out and comforted her.
In her opinion, Mo Chen has tried her best and has done well enough.
The major events of the country are not children's games, how can they always be a bowl of water. Whether it is the king of Huainan or the eldest princess, they should be glad that they have such an ancestor.
"Well, if you want to come to Zhu Yuyan, it should have already started. When the tunnel fire plan is on the right track, it will be bitter for you. Mo Chen enjoyed Wu Meiniang's massage and said softly.
Wu Meiniang didn't say anything, quietly enjoying the time between the two.
