Chapter: 4376

"Duke Chen, what you said is right There is a problem. "

Before Mu Guanyu opened his mouth, Mu Wuchang, who was watching, could not listen any more and frowned and said, "In all dynasties, every time there was a dispute over the crown prince, there would be a bloody storm. You have been an official in the court for so many years, you don't even understand this truth, right? Or are you deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid?"

"Master Mu, since it has come to this, I will tell you openly."

Chen Xueliang remained unmoved: "Our Chen family is weak and does not want to wade into this muddy water, let alone participate in any dispute over the succession. Our Chen family has always been a neutral party and will never favor anyone. This is the attitude of the Chen family."

He naturally understood the intention of the Mu Palace, first forming an alliance through marriage to bring together the major forces.

Then support a certain prince to take the throne.

In this way, after the new emperor ascends the throne, the status of the Mu Palace will be further improved.

To put it bluntly, it is all about power.

"Duke Chen, don't blame me for speaking frankly. If the Chen family is just a third-rate force, no one will care."

Mu Guanyu's expression became serious: "But the problem is that the Chen family is one of the four royal families, and you are a duke, with a high position and power. Under such a premise, it is really difficult for the Chen family to protect itself and not be involved in the storm.

Now, there are only two ways for the Chen family.

First, stand in line in advance and support the new emperor to ascend the throne. In this way, even if you are a minister of the dragon, the Chen family will prosper in the next hundred years.

Second, try to stay out of it, which will not please many parties, and finally end up losing both the wife and the army.

You are a smart person, you should know that what I said is true.

No new emperor can tolerate a minister who is in a high position and power and is not under control."

Hearing this, Chen Xueliang suddenly fell silent.

I have to admit that Mu Guanyu's words make sense.

If he was just a lone minister, it would be easy to say, but he has the entire Chen family behind him.

With the power and influence of the Chen family, it is a hot commodity that all the princes are fighting for, and it is difficult to stay out of it.

If you don't stand on the side, you may be used as cannon fodder.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, the Chen family will soon be replaced by new forces.

Once the Chen family is weak, enemies from all sides will flock to it.

There is no need for the emperor to take action, those ambitious people will swallow up the Chen family without leaving any bones.

But on the other hand, if you choose to stand on the side, even if you win, it will ensure the prosperity of the Chen family for a hundred years. JrNovels.com
