Chapter 453: Believe or Unbelieve
"Daomen?" When Dingwu heard this, he obviously asked for a moment, and then said with suspicion: "You said that Xu Fengde gave me a fold, but he was appointed by those people from the Daomen?" ”
"Exactly, those people from the Daomen let this Xu Fengde slander His Majesty, because they wanted to use the dynasty to resist the pressure of my domination of the Daomen." Mo Bai nodded and said in a deep voice.
Emperor Dingwu was silent for a while when he heard this, stared at the book, and was silent for a long time before he raised his head and continued to stare at Mo Bai and said in a deep voice: "Do you have any evidence to prove it?" ”
"Whoever walks by, there will be traces, Your Majesty only needs to check this Xu Fengde, there will always be clues to prove that what the retainers said is true." Mo Bai said in a deep voice.
"Even if what you say is true, it can only prove that Xu Fengde folded up, and there is a Taoist sect stirring up trouble, so what?" Emperor Dingwu reacted suddenly, and his gaze became fierce again: "This can't explain how you know about this." ”
Obviously, for Emperor Dingwu at this moment, what he was most concerned about was not the letter itself.
Whether Xu Fengde is a Dao Sect chess piece or not doesn't matter at all compared to whether Mo Bai may have placed eyes next to him.
Mo Bai's rhetoric could not let Emperor Dingwu feel relieved at all, and he even felt that Mo Bai was deliberately changing the concept in an attempt to confuse the public.
"Actually, not long after you received the excerpt, Erchen had already received the news." Mo Bai was not flustered.
"Hmph, you're amazing!" Emperor Dingwu snorted coldly, but he still said: "You don't think that just by your words, you can make me believe you!" ”
"If the son gets the news from his father, then at most he can only know the content of this excerpt, and how can he know that this matter is a Daomen operation?" Mo Bai Dao.
"That's not necessarily what you found out afterwards!" This statement is indeed reasonable, but Emperor Dingwu still frowned.
Mo Bai also frowned and didn't hear enough, and after being silent for a while, he looked at Dingwu: "If I want to verify, at least I have to start with this up-folded Lord Xu, right?" If Your Majesty must be suspicious, no matter how the minister explains, he can't tell. ”
"You still feel wronged?" Ding Wu saw that he was holding back his anger, and he didn't pull this rebel out and cut it directly, but he didn't want Mo Bai to be impatient first, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but rise again, and Tie Qing asked with a blue face: "Do you believe what you said?" If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why don't you report it to me right away, since you already knew about it two days ago? ”
Mo Bai raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his words: "There are countless people in the world who want to deal with me, just like this kind of book, you can't receive a hundred a day, and it won't be less than eighty, right?" If anyone joins me, I will come to you to defend myself, and even if I have the time to say it, I am afraid you will not have time to listen! To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the relationship between me and Daomen had reached a critical moment this time, I really didn't want to have more complications, and I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to it. ”
"Presumptuous!" Emperor Dingwu slapped his palm on the table again: "Look at your arrogant appearance now, there are many emperors under my knees, and no one has ever dared to be so disobedient as you." I haven't gotten angry yet, you still have a temper? With your unruly nature, I can cure you of a sin of disrespect! ”
"Not angry?" Mo Bai's eyes drooped, and his mind flashed over the cultivators who were already on standby outside the Fang Cai Gate, and he sneered in his heart: "If it weren't for the current situation in the country and the dynasty that requires my existence, I'm afraid that my head would have moved under your order!" ”
Thinking about it, Mo Bai didn't really say that.
He was silent, looking at the various things on the table that were scattered again because of Emperor Dingwu's slap.
Seeing that he didn't fight back, Dingwu suppressed the anger in his heart again, and the room fell silent again for a while.
Both of them were silent with calm faces, and the atmosphere was very stiff.
However, it was obvious that after Fang Cai's conversation, although Emperor Dingwu did not fully trust Mo Bai, the most sensitive aspect of his heart was finally a little lax.
After all, although Mo Bai's words are not good, in the end, they are also true.
After a long time, Emperor Dingwu spoke, and his tone was a little calmer: "Okay, if you want me to believe you, then tell me, how did you learn about this from the Daomen?" They did this thing so secretly, even I didn't find anything wrong, I'm afraid that there are very few people in the Dao Gate, how did you find out? ”
Speaking of this, Mo Bai's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't answer immediately.
"What? Can't make it up? Dingwu's eyes were sharp again.
Mo Bai slowly raised his head and looked at Emperor Dingwu: "It's not that you can't say it, but if you say it, you don't necessarily believe it!" ”
Ding Wu waved his hand and said impatiently: "Whether I believe it or not, is also something that you can speculate about?" Let's just say, I have my own decisions. ”
"I once received an anonymous secret letter detailing the Daomen's attempt to use the national dynasty to counter my domination of the Daomen." Mo Bai said in a deep voice.
After that, he really took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Dingwu.
Dingwu hesitated, but did not directly reach out and take the secret letter.
It can be seen that his suspicion of Mo Bai has reached the highest level, and he used to beat and scold Mo Bai without the slightest hesitation.
However, now, he is obviously afraid that there will be something wrong with this paper, and he knows that Mo Bai is a good doctor, so he may not be able to use his hands and feet on the paper.
Seeing this, Mo Bai sighed in his heart, and said softly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, if you have done anything in this letter, you will definitely not be able to hide it from your son." ”
With that, he placed the letter on the table and took a few steps back.
Dingwu's eyes flashed, and he finally picked up the letter from the table, after all, if Mo Bai was really bold, as long as he called someone in to check at this time, Mo Bai would not be able to escape the death penalty.
Slowly opened it, and after reading it again, his brows furrowed even deeper, and sure enough, as Mo Bai said, this letter made everything clear.
Dingwu paid attention to a few key nodes, Mo Bai said that he didn't know Xu Fengde, and at this time, the letter did not mention who folded it, but only said that the door would arrange for the person trusted by His Majesty to speak.
In the end, it was really anonymous, and after reading it, his eyes flashed, and instead he stared at Mo Bai and said slowly: "How do you prove that you didn't forge this letter yourself and used it to deal with me?" ”
This time, Mo Bai was directly silent, staring at his toes with his head down and not saying a word.
Emperor Dingwu was suddenly a little annoyed and angry, and he wanted to get angry.
What do you mean?
Lao Tzu's suspicion is too much?
Is it excessive?
But there is no way, Mo Bai said before, even if he takes it out, Emperor Dingwu may not believe it, but he Emperor Dingwu forced Mo Bai to take it out.
Emperor Dingwu suppressed his anger, no longer looked at Mo Bai's appearance that made him want to get angry when he saw it, and was silent for a while, and then said: "Just with this anonymous letter, you don't hesitate to believe it?" ”
"Those of the Daomen have a reason for doing so, and if this belief is false, it is a good thing for me. As far as I'm concerned, I don't want what is written in this letter to be true. Mo Bai was not silent this time, but looked up at Dingwu, his voice indifferent.
Emperor Dingwu thought about it, it was indeed the truth, but he still frowned and said: "But don't you feel weird about this matter, who is the person who sent the letter, and how did he know about such a secret thing?" The most important thing is, if he wants to help you, then why should he be anonymous? What was the purpose of this letter? ”
"Naturally, I thought about it!" If you want to say that you haven't thought about it, of course it's impossible, Mo Bai nodded, his eyes were deep: "If I'm not mistaken, this letter is very likely to be from the Lin family!" ”
Emperor Dingwu was a little confused, why did he get involved with the Lin family again.
But he was not stupid, he just noticed the flaw in Mo Bai's words in an instant, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his eyes, and his tone began to be a little uncertain: "Forest thief? The forest thief helped you deal with the Daomen? I don't know when you've become so close to the forest thieves? ”
"Help me?" Mo Bai had a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Do you think that writing to tell me about this is really helping me?" The strength of this letter is a testament to the strength of this letter as your anger and suspicion about me now. ”
"Huh?" Dingwu's eyes shrank suddenly, how could he be ignorant and ignorant if he could maintain it to this day in the troubled times.
Dingwu's mind is actually very deep, but it was just a blind eye before.
At this moment, with Mo Bai's words, his mind suddenly became clear, and he completely understood what Mo Bai meant.
He stood up suddenly, and after taking a few steps back and forth in the hall with his eyebrows, he didn't look at Mo Bai, thoughts flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "In other words, the purpose of the forest thief sending you this letter is actually the same as that of the Daomen, and the ultimate purpose is to provoke?" ”
"If you let Erchen guess, it's not just this letter, even the Daomen will arrange someone to give you an excerpt itself, I'm afraid it will be indispensable to the Lin family's handwriting. It's just that it seems that the Lin family and the Daomen are acting separately and are not mixed together, because in this anonymous letter, it is not stated who is the person who arranged the Daomen to fold, and the person who should write the letter does not know how the Daomen operates. Maybe even the Daomen themselves thought that this matter had nothing to do with the Lin family, but it was certain that this should be a complete bureau designed by the Lin family. First, through some method, guide the Daomen to fold up independently, and then the Lin family will send me a letter behind my back. After I got this letter, I will certainly not be indifferent to prevent you from meddling in the affairs of the Daomen, but as soon as I open my mouth, I must first explain a little, how did I know about this secret letter? ”
"Even if I take out this secret letter, I can't really dispel your suspicions, and I can't tell if I made this letter to deal with you myself. This seems to be a conspiracy, but in fact it is also a conspiracy, and from the moment I receive this letter, it will inevitably conflict with you. In the end, it may cause me to be beheaded by you, and it may also make you have to wash your neighbors, even courtiers. This was bound to cause tension in the court and panic among the courtiers. ”
Speaking of which, Dingwu's expression has become extremely ugly, what he hates most in his life is the forest thief, but at this moment he finds that he is being played with by the forest thief in applause, how can this taste be good?
But even so, at this moment, he still did not give up his suspicion of Mo Bai, and still questioned: "What you said seems to be reasonable, but there is one thing that cannot be explained, the forest thief gave you this letter, aren't you afraid that after you know in advance, you will finally succeed in persuading me not to interfere in the affairs of the Daomen?" Did you really succeed in subduing the Daomen? ”
This time, Mo Bai didn't speak out immediately, and after a while, he said softly: "On the contrary, let's not say whether I can tell that it was the Lin family who wrote this letter, even if I can see it, there is no evidence to prove that this letter was written by them." Therefore, I can't come up with solid evidence to dispel your suspicions in any way. Since the words have come to this, I won't hide it, the reason why you pressed that excerpt and didn't even reveal it to Master Zhang is obviously the content of the excerpt that makes you take it to heart. Now, after such a fuss, your suspicion of me will only deepen, even if you don't blame me this time, I'm afraid that in order to prevent the rebellion of the Ming King in the future, you will make up your mind to intervene and prevent me from successfully controlling the Daomen. ”
"Oh?" When Emperor Dingwu heard this, his eyes suddenly deepened: "Then you say, what should I do now?" Do you believe or don't? Should I support you or oppose the matter of the Daomen? ”
