Chapter 451: The Secret That Can't Be Said
Your Highness and Your Excellency!
However, the difference of one word, for ordinary people, no matter how they call Mo Bai, it is just an honorific title, no matter what.
But for today's Taoists, the meanings of these two titles are very different, and they are simply incomparable.
When Mo Bai entered the palace before, when the people of the Dao Sect saluted Mo Bai with everyone, they called "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince!" ”
If you don't dig deeper, there's nothing wrong with that.
But now is the sensitive season when Mo Bai wants to unify the Daomen, and this title may not be in line with Mo Bai's meaning.
"His Royal Highness the Prince" is ultimately an identity outside the Daomen, representing the alienation of the Daomen people from Mo Bai, and even the resistance expressed by him to unify the Daomen.
And "Your Excellency King Ming" is different, that is, it represents the Daomen to take the initiative to recognize Mo Bai's leader's status.
These people from two mountains and four gates finally chose "His Royal Highness the Prince" instead of "His Excellency King Ming", which actually shows the will of the giants of the Daomen.
Although it's just a title, it's extremely subtle.
But Mo Bai knew that it was not that he was thinking too much, it was indeed those giants who were expressing their unique influence in the Daomen.
They were telling Mo Bai that if they didn't agree to throw themselves at Mo Bai, there would be no second voice from the entire Dao Gate.
Mo Bai now wants to see if these giants can really hold the sky in the Dao Sect with one hand, and whether they can really make these people dare not recognize his status as the leader of the Dao Sect.
To be precise, in front of the forces of the world, Mo Bai wants to use the title to silently confront the few Taoist giants.
That's why he gave another Taoist salute of Mo Bai, he wanted to see that the influence of the people in this sect was great, and they could make these people fight against him with all their hearts, and continue to pretend to be stupid and call him "His Royal Highness".
still bowed his head and admitted the fact that he was "His Excellency King Ming".
This confrontation undoubtedly has a great impact on whether Mo Bai can successfully subdue the Daomen.
Sure enough, as Mo Bai expected, these Taoist people obviously knew the difference between the two titles.
After Mo Bai saluted, they were obviously unstable, and they did not return the salute immediately, they kept looking at each other secretly, obviously unstable, and they couldn't react for a long time.
……
What's going on?
The people in the Daomen ignored the Mo Bai salute and did not return the salute for a long time?
This strange scene appeared, and the rest of the temple quickly widened their eyes and sensed that something was wrong.
And quick minds such as Zhang Bangli quickly thought of the key, and couldn't help but get nervous in their hearts.
At the same time, everyone's eyes couldn't stop scanning the straight figure of Mo Bai, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, Mo Bai was really overbearing, and these Taoists were all descendants of the two mountains and four gates.
Mo Bai is grandiose, just in front of the forces of the world, who has more influence on them than the giants of Daomen.
This boldness is really incredible, you must know that once these people withstood the pressure and still pretended to be stupid and regarded him as His Royal Highness, there is no doubt that it proves that the giants of Daomen do have unparalleled influence in Daomen, even if he is strong, he can't shake this.
In this way, the struggle between Mo Bai and those giants will disappear from one another.
This is undoubtedly the practice of destroying one's own prestige and increasing the morale of others.
However, is this really the case?
is not a party, and people who don't face Mobai in person can't understand how terrifying it is to stand up to Mobai's coercion.
In this way, these people in the Dao Sect knew that as long as they bowed down and said "His Royal Highness the Prince" again, they could help their Excellencies to increase their momentum.
But, do they dare?
Mo Bai didn't say a word, nor did he urge, just stood in front of them and waited quietly for them to choose.
But the old grandmasters of the two mountains and four sects inadvertently saw beads of sweat on their foreheads, and the minds of the people in the front were full of thoughts, and their minds were constantly changing in their minds, the southern army, the warlord family, and the royal prince......
That's right, just now, what they saw with their own eyes, the strong scene of Mobai standing east and west, fighting north and south, which of these parties is easy to provoke?
But how could Mo Bai ever have any scruples?
What's more, it's not that the people in the Daomen don't know, this King Ming is good to others, but to the people in the Daomen, he has never been soft, once he does it, it must be your life and death......
In the tense atmosphere, several people looked at each other again, and they all saw helplessness and relaxation in each other's eyes!
"What an outlier!" Several people sighed silently in their hearts, and finally the person on the far left took the first step, clenched his fists and shouted: "After Yuqing Mountain, the end of learning Qu Siyuan!" ”
His voice fell, followed by another person, and another person stepped out, alongside him: "Taiqing, Hu Feiye!" ”
"Gu family, Gu Qingchi!"
"Lian Fang!"
When the six of them came out together, they finally bowed to the ground with everyone behind them, and sang in unison: "I've seen Ming Wangzun!" ”
After a bow, the hall was silent.
Everyone looked at this scene with complicated hearts.
King Ming once again ...... Victory!
Zhang Bangli raised his head and looked at Mo Bai, only to see that Mo Bai's face was calm, and he slowly raised his hand, and his voice was ancient: "You don't need to be polite!" Please get up! ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" The Daoists got up and shook again.
Mo Bai turned around, looked around the audience, and finally looked at Zhang Bangli: "Let's go!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Bangli bowed: "Your Highness, please!" ”
The two left.
The eyes of the people behind him were complicated, and it was not until he left for a long time that the hall gradually resumed its voice.
The warlord faction, the national dynasty faction, and the Daomen faction are all gathered together, and they have different moods!
……
On the way to see Dingwu, Zhang Bangli hesitated for a long time, finally stopped, and bowed to Mo Bai with a fist: "Zhang Bangli respectfully thanks His Highness for breaking the siege!" ”
Mo Bai stopped and looked up at him: "What siege?" ”
Zhang Bangli's face darkened, and he said: "If it wasn't for His Highness to come forward before, I am afraid that His Majesty would have to let Chu Ruocai humiliate him today......"
Mo Bai heard this, but suddenly fell silent, and his face became extremely ugly.
Zhang Bangli raised his eyes, saw Mo Bai suddenly became angry, and thought that Mo Bai was angry with his performance at that time, and he became more and more ashamed in his heart, and said bitterly: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will be responsible for this matter, and I will ask Your Majesty for guilt later!" ”
"You said earlier that all this today is Your Majesty's arrangement?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mo Bai suddenly speak in a low voice.
Zhang Bangli nodded, and said in a deep voice: "After all, the Lin family is a minister who rebelled against the country, if everyone is in front of them, let them show off their might, where is the face of our country......
"The ceremonial official once said that the Lin family has a daughter, and the matter of second marriage is ignorant of ethics and is a great in......justice," Mo Bai said word by word: "This was also discussed by you in advance?" ”
Zhang Bangli's face changed suddenly, and he immediately knew why Mo Bai was angry, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, Your Majesty just wants to humiliate the Lin family, and His Majesty guarantees it with the head of the Emperor, and the official is definitely not instructed by us, and the ministers don't know it in advance!" ”
"Really?" Mo Bai's face was expressionless, he raised his head, stared at the palace and said, "Whether you know it or not, it's only this once!" ”
"Yes! Your Majesty should remember that no one will be allowed to insult the princess in the future! Zhang Bangli immediately assured.
"Although I no longer have a prince, I am still in the clan, as a member of the royal family, and the official insulted my wife, and I should be held accountable!" Mo Bai has a calm face.
"Your Highness, I have no right to call the shots in this matter, I should report it to ......Your Majesty" However, Zhang Bangli looked embarrassed, and when he said this, he glanced at his white face, and said carefully: "Your Highness, I am afraid that it is inappropriate to deal with the ceremonial official at this time, it may make some people mistakenly think that the national court is weak, and after all, the ceremonial official is to contribute to the national court, if he is disposed of at this time, I am afraid that the ministers will be separated." ”
Hearing this, Mo Bai stared at Zhang Bangli for a long time and was silent.
"Your Highness, this ......" Zhang Bangli felt furious in his heart.
Mo Bai finally spoke: "Is it very convenient to treat me as a wronged leader, so you really treat me as a fool?" When will I be able to compromise even if my wife is bullied? ”
"Your Highness will never dare to be disrespectful to Your Highness, Your Highness is just asking Your Highness to consider the current situation of the country and the dynasty, and to endure your anger a little, it is definitely not disrespectful to Your Highness......" Zhang Bangli's face changed, and he hurriedly said.
"Don't dare?" Mo Bai lowered his eyes and looked at him: "Do you really dare?" ”
Speaking of this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Mo Bai's mouth: "I desperately killed Mei Qingfeng, and it can be regarded as removing a big trouble for the country." But then, you didn't say hello, and you tacitly agreed with the major forces to divide up my results, did you see that I didn't say anything from beginning to end, so you think I'm really easy to bully? ”
"No, Your Highness, don't misunderstand, this matter is not the work of the national dynasty, but the ...... of the Lin family" Zhang Bangli wanted to explain.
"In the garrison camp of the National Dynasty, the forty-two grandmasters who have recently been added, do you want me to tell you their names one by one?" Mo Bai's expression was cold, and his eyes flashed with evil.
Zhang Bangli opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to deny it, even if they didn't do it first, but in fact, as Mo Bai said, not only did they not help Mo Bai stop it, but they also made a strong move, except for the Lin family, they grabbed the most.
"That's it, I don't care anyway, but now that I want to dominate the Daomen, I heard that someone wants to make a stumbling block in it......" Mo Bai's expression was even colder.
"Your Highness!" This time Zhang Bangli looked serious, and immediately blurted out: "Your Highness, don't listen to slander, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the dynasty, think about it, if the Daomen can be unified by His Royal Highness, it will also be great news for the dynasty, and the troubles that have been harmed for many years will come to an end." The dynasty will only help His Highness, how can it be an obstruction from it? ”
"Really?" Mo Bai's expression was not moved at all, he looked directly at Zhang Bangli, his eyes were as deep as the starry sky: "I heard that there is a voice in the dynasty recently, which shows that the king has always disrespected the dynasty, despised the monarch, and has no closeness to the royal family. In addition, the king of Ming also raised private soldiers, and the vassals in the palace only knew the king of Ming, but they did not know the monarch! This person's mind is weird, and he really has to guard against it. If the Daomen falls into the hands of the King of Ming, I am afraid that more than other forces are controlled by the King of Ming, it is very likely that in the future, even the dynasty can not intervene in it, the Daomen has three mountains and four gates, and a plate of scattered sand has caused chaos for many years. Instead of this, it is better to maintain the current pattern for the time being, and the two mountains and four gates suddenly lost an arm, and it is no longer possible to make waves as they did back then. And the Ming King's purpose is not successful, presumably he will not give up, the dynasty can take advantage of the pressure given by the Ming King to the Daomen, and operate from it, it may not be impossible to subdue the Daomen! ”
As Mo Bai's voice slowly spoke, Zhang Bangli's figure suddenly shook like chaff, his face was full of horror, and his mouth trembled and couldn't make a sound: "Absolutely, there is no such thing as ......"
Mo Bai had already turned around, and his voice was lighter: "It's okay whether it's okay or not, it doesn't mean anything to me." Since I have entered the WTO and killed people, I am already the enemy of the whole world today, how can I not be prepared for a good death? But no matter how you calculate, I don't care, as long as I'm not dead, don't touch my scales.
