"...The old minister tried to persuade Mrs. Lin for a long time, but she couldn't persuade her well. All she was thinking about was worrying about her daughter's life-long events.
The old minister himself also has a bad son in his family, and has never seen his grandson at this age, so he understands the mood of Mr. Lin and his wife..."
Meng Xiang sighed and burst into tears: "I am already over sixty years old, and I don't know if I can see my grandson before I close my eyes, that unfilial son!"
The emperor understood.
The Meng family wanted to marry the Lin family, but they were afraid that he would stop them, so they came up with all these tricks.
As for the Lin family, they had indeed taken refuge with him before.
But now, in order to ride a dragon and have a son-in-law, he accepted the conditions offered by the Empress Dowager and Meng Xiang, and formed an alliance with them.
A group of short-sighted villains who are greedy for profit!
The emperor was extremely angry, but he could not openly oppose it.
Because he did not dare to openly offend Meng Xiang, nor did he dare to openly fall out with the Empress Dowager and others.
This also made him realize the reality. The only one he could rely on was Gu Fenglin.
The emperor's pale and fat face was full of sympathy: "Meng Jia is indeed too willful. It's time to let him settle down. I wonder if the Qing family has a suitable candidate?"
Meng Xiang sighed and said: "The Lin family and the Priest Palace are openly at odds, which is not good for the country. Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager are also in disgrace.
Coincidentally, Zhuo Jing once met Miss Lin and was full of praise for her. Mrs. Lin wanted to live or die, but the old minister had the courage to comfort her."
The emperor cursed in his heart, but his mouth was full of gratitude: "The Qing family is considerate, I don't know how to comfort them?"
Meng Xiang glanced at the emperor and felt that the emperor's honest appearance concealed a cunning and restless heart.
"The veteran told her that she would be able to find a husband with a bright future for Miss Lin!"
"Ah...who is the candidate?" the emperor asked tirelessly.
Meng Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to let Quan Zi share your Majesty's worries!"
"Share the worries..." The emperor wanted to curse, but he opened his mouth and smiled: "That's great. My dear, you are so considerate. I... agree."
Isn’t it just about getting married? Haha, do you really think that you can become a family after getting married? How naive!
He had also seen Meng Jia, a rebellious person.
I'm afraid it would be very difficult for Meng Xiang to get Meng Jia to agree to this marriage.
Meng Xiang was very calm. His goal was achieved, but he was not happy. After thanking him, he brought up the tax reform.
"Your Majesty, the country is currently in turmoil and Qi is eyeing it. I am afraid it is not suitable to promote such a big change. Stability is the most important thing."
The emperor said calmly: "If you don't change, the country will be destroyed. Prime Minister Meng is already a grandfather. Why are you so stubborn?"
Since it's a transaction, let's make a concession to each other.
Meng Xiang did not insist and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is right, I will retire."
For a newborn calf, tell him how powerful the tiger is. He has no way of understanding it without personal experience.
So, let him do whatever he wants first, and then let him touch the wall later in life, and all diseases will be cured.
Meng Xiang and the emperor smiled at each other and parted sweetly.
As soon as Meng Xiang left, the emperor immediately called Gu Fenglin: "You must do a good job in tax reform, otherwise I will look better than you!"
Gu Fenglin said: "This is just the beginning, Your Majesty, we still have a long way to go."
Mu Yunhan and Queen Mother Shen drank the third pot of tea, and the news of Meng Lin's marriage came in.
