But there are some things that just don’t matter if you haven’t witnessed them with your own eyes.
But when she saw how arrogant Qi Envoy was at the state banquet that day, she really couldn't bear it.
Mu Yunhan was very sad: "If there really is a fight, I am willing to take out my money..."
"What matters of family and country are not matters that women and children like you can just talk about?"
Meng Xiang strode in, his voice like a loud bell, and his breath was not smooth: "You young people, you only do things for temporary pleasure, and you don't think thoroughly at all!"
"You think you are very rich, but when it comes to war, what will your little money be enough for? Enough to feed the soldiers across the country for three to two months?"
Mu Yunhan said boldly: "Save one province, that's probably enough?"
Meng Xiang stared wide-eyed: "Then let me ask you, if the war starts, it will be over in March or two months?"
Mu Yunhan whispered: "Isn't there a treasury..."
Prime Minister Meng waved his hand vigorously: "Treasury? You know our treasury..."
He looked sad, stopped talking, and raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever thought about how many people will die? What will be done to compensate for the defeat?"
Mu Yunhan said softly: "But, how can anyone not die in a war?"
If necessary, she will go to the battlefield, she is not afraid of death.
"I thought you were smart, but you turned out to be just as stupid as Sansan!"
Meng Xiang hates that iron cannot become steel, as if he has been holding back all the words, but has no way to say them out. His gray beard is trembling slightly, and his old eyes are red from holding back.
Mu Yunhan was afraid that he would be angry, and seeing that he looked like he hadn't slept for a few days, he quickly said: "Father, don't worry, we are just talking casually at home, don't be angry."
Mrs. Meng also said: "Old man, why are you arguing with your own children? If you are angry, let it go outside. Why will you lose your temper when you get home! Han Han rarely comes over, so you bully her!"
Meng Xiang shook his head, sat down and was silent for a long time. Finally, he raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and asked Mu Yunhan: "Which finger is the most important when making precise movements?"
Mu Yunhan said without hesitation: "Thumbs up."
All precision movements require the thumb to assist the other fingers.
Without a thumb, the movements that the other four fingers can do are very limited.
Meng Xiang said: "Then you still don't understand?"
The emperor is the thumb. He is not willing to fight. He has long been frightened out of his courage by the state of Qi.
Not only will he not support it, he will actually hinder it.
Even if you fight this battle reluctantly, the final result will still be a loss.
If that's the case, why bother fighting?
Meng Xiang's eyes were full of desolation: "Why don't I understand the thoughts of you young people? But people don't live by just impulse."
Mu Yunhan remained silent.
In this case, why not replace the emperor with someone who dares to fight and supports the war?
For example, the prince.
However, such words, and even such thoughts, are treasonous and unethical, and Meng Xiang, who is loyal to the emperor, will definitely not allow it.
Therefore, some conflicts between him and Gu Fenglin are destined to be difficult to reconcile.
Mrs. Meng was busy talking to Xini: "We won't talk about state affairs, and it's rare for the child to come over. Let's have dinner together, and I'll have someone pick up Xiaoying."
Then he asked someone to find Meng Jia: "Where did this homeless guy go? Tell him to go home for dinner!"
Mu Ying came over quickly and gathered in front of Meng Xiang and his wife to please and behave, making the two old people laugh heartily.
Meng Jia, however, didn’t come back until dinner was about to begin. (To be continued)
