Chapter 717: Just a Word of Truth
The war in northern Jiangsu was raging, and the Jingyuan City Tower, which was soaked in blood, was already crumbling.
The barbarian war horse, just the last whip, can be a horse to step on the north of Jiangsu, the sword pointed to the Central Plains.
Under such a dangerous situation, most of the provinces of Great Xia were still holding various celebrations for the new emperor's accession to the throne, and they did not smell the blood that had spread to the tip of their noses.
Even above the court, they didn't realize that northern Jiangsu was about to undergo great changes, and the minds of the courtiers were still immersed in the thrill of the new emperor's accession to the throne.
Don't talk about other people, even Mo Bai himself, he didn't expect that Fang Youqun would dare to give up Northern Jiangsu.
After the situation in the palace was settled, Mo Bai did not stay in the palace for a long time, and almost left the palace with all the courtiers.
After having an extra errand on him, he should have entered the palace to work like all the courtiers.
However, in the next few days, he changed his office location to the Ming Wang's Mansion on the grounds that he was ill and temporarily inconvenient to travel.
And since he returned home, the first thing he did was to increase his defense.
Mr. Cai Yuande, who lives next door to the Ming Palace, hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days.
Often in the middle of the night, I only heard the shocking movement next door, and sent a small servant to take a look, only to see that the black-clothed guard who didn't know where to come from entered the Ming Palace.
The Ming Palace's defense is constantly increasing, and there is no fanfare.
But this naturally can't be concealed from those who have a heart, and in the past few days, discussing how many people came to the Ming Wangfu last night has become a hot topic of discussion in the officialdom of Beijing.
However, the discussion is discussed, and this time the movement of the Ming Palace, but it did not make the ministers in Beijing have much reaction.
Although there are also a few courtiers who are worried about the continuous reinforcements of the Ming Palace, they are afraid that the Ming King has bad intentions or has a good intention.
But most of the courtiers did not agree with this view.
It's hard to say whether King Ming has bad intentions.
But it can be explained that the king has a meaning of a book with these black-clothed guards, and most of the courtiers do not agree.
With these black-clothed guards, can you storm Miyagi?
This is obviously impossible, let alone attacking the city, I'm afraid that they won't even be able to walk through the palace gate, and the Beijing camp stationed on the outskirts of Beijing has already surrounded them.
Therefore, few people think that King Ming has bad intentions this time.
Most people feel that the movement of the Ming Palace, just out of defense, is a normal thing.
After all, King Ming and the new emperor in the palace have been in trouble to the point of life and death, although it seems that the new emperor has compromised and stabilized the situation, but who dares to say that the new emperor will really not attack King Ming again?
In this case, it is probably normal for King Ming to be wary of the new emperor.
Therefore, the "worry" and "self-danger" attitude of the Ming Palace, which did not make the court turbulent again, but made the court quickly calm down from the horror on the day of his accession to the throne.
The reason is very simple, the scene put forward by the Ming Wangfu is obviously intended for self-preservation.
Since it is for self-protection, it is unlikely that King Ming will take the initiative to find His Majesty to stir up trouble again, so as long as His Majesty no longer blatantly shouts and shouts to King Ming, then the situation in Beijing will be more peaceful.
For this reason, the ministers in the court even had a tacit consensus that they should keep an eye on the new emperor and never allow him to mess around again.
Everyone knows one thing very well, whether it is for the sake of the dynasty or for their own selfish interests, the events at the enthronement ceremony must not happen again.
To be pessimistic, this dynasty, which has long been in turmoil, will really collapse because of the First World War.
Everyone is on this boat, and if the boat capsizes, it will not benefit anyone.
Therefore, in order to prevent the DPRK and China from causing another incident, the courtiers reached a consensus very tacitly.
There is no way to curb Xinjun's thoughts, so he can only limit Xinjun's hands and feet.
Deal with the unstable factors that will go crazy with Xinjun first.
Cleanse the Qu system!
……
Ming Wangfu.
"This morning, there were several more four-rank court officials who submitted their resignations. At this point, the Qu Guochang line in the Central Plains of the DPRK basically has no influence in the DPRK. ”
Mo Bai sat on the top, listened to Lu Xunyi's report, and just nodded slightly.
Lu Xunyi saw that he didn't mean to say much, so he reminded him worriedly: "Although it is a good thing that the Qu system has been swept out, but with the fall of the Qu system, Hu Qingyan is really a dominant family in the court." ”
Mo Bai shook his head and said: "There is no way, Lao Jiu can't look down on him with internal guards alone, don't look at his age, but his mind is not shallow." If the Qu system does not fall, Lao Jiu will have problems sooner or later, and in order to clear this hidden danger, Hu Qingyan can only be made big for the time being. ”
"It's just...... Hu Qingyan is a thoughtful person, he is now in control of the court with one hand, and he is really in power, even if it is us, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold him hostage anymore. Lu Xunyi's brows furrowed deeply.
"That's true, now that he's really important, no one dares to touch him lightly." Mo Bai nodded when he heard this, but he didn't see any worries, and continued: "However, things are two-sided, and it is naturally a disadvantage for him to cover the sky with one hand, but the power of the court is also concentrated, which is definitely good for the next national battle." ”
Lu Xunyi saw that Mo Bai's face was relaxed, and he stopped talking about something, and said after a moment of silence: "I don't know if Your Highness has ever thought that for Hu Qingyan today, who is the biggest enemy?" "School bag
"It's me!" Mo Bai almost didn't hesitate, Lu Xunyi's voice fell, and he said calmly: "After cleaning up the Qu system and suppressing the neutral faction, Hu Qingyan is now away from covering the sky with one hand, and he only has to kick away my stumbling block." ”
Seeing Mo Bai so neat, Lu Xunyi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then surprised: "Since Your Highness knows, you don't worry about Hu Qingyan's ambitions, Your Highness is bent on planning for the war, which is good, but I'm afraid that Hu Qingyan will not be able to be of the same heart with His Highness, but he doesn't want to fight the flag and deal with us first." “
"For the time being, even if he wants to deal with us, now is not the time. He has just taken charge of the dynasty, and he can't really cover the sky with one hand, and he still needs me to help me contain Lao Jiu. Mo Bai smiled and said, "If you get rid of me now, Lao Jiu will be able to come out immediately." We don't have much foundation in the court, and we don't have much control over him, but Lao Jiu is different, if he comes out now, even if there is no Qu faction, those neutrals will immediately fall to Lao Jiu. ”
Lu Xunyi pondered for a while, and his face was relaxed, but he still said: "I'm afraid that if he is allowed to dominate the court alone, it will eventually become a big disaster." ”
Mo Bai squinted slightly: "Hu Qingyan is not a threat to us, he will not deal with us at least for the time being, but there is one person, he is afraid that he will think about it." ”
"Who?" Lu Xunyi asked.
"Zhang Bangli!" Mo Bai said in a deep voice: "Actually, Hu Qingyan's biggest enemy now, we are just a cloud above his head, and Zhang Bangli is his thorn in the throat." cleaned up the Qu system and suppressed the neutrals. He doesn't care too much about external pressure, the only thing that can make him turn the tables in an instant is the internal collapse, and it just so happens that Zhang Bangli is very likely to do this. ”
When Lu Xunyi heard this, he immediately understood, and hurriedly said, "We must keep him!" ”
Mo Bai nodded: "Don't be nervous, it's not easy for Hu Qingyan to deal with Zhang Bangli, Zhang Bangli is a minister, a neighbor of the Son of Heaven, as long as the Son of Heaven doesn't deal with him, no matter how much the minister moves, it will be difficult to move him." Now Lao Jiu can't open his mouth, Hu Qingyan wants to move Zhang Bangli, and his only way is to use us. ”
"Take advantage of us?" Lu Xunyi really didn't understand: "Can he use us to deal with Zhang Bangli?" ”
"Why not?" Mo Bai smiled: "Don't think that we can see through his thoughts and be able to prevent his methods, it is not impossible to kill Zhang Bangli with our hands." ”
"Your Highness is saying that he will find a way to force us to do it?" Lu Xunyi was not stupid, frowned, and pondered.
"Maybe, after all, this is not difficult, the easiest way is to make a fuss about the war, everyone knows the attitude of our Ming Wangfu towards the war, if Zhang Bangli can make mistakes in the next war, then I am afraid that even if I know that Hu Qingyan is a ghost, I can only kill him to make an example." Mo Bai is calm.
"Then how should we prevent ......" Lu Xunyi was suddenly shocked when he heard this, Hu Qingyan controlled the dynasty with one hand, and it was not difficult to really set up a stumbling block for Zhang Bang.
Mo Bai raised his hand to interrupt: "It's not us who should be guarded. ”
Lu Xunyi was dumbfounded, and then reacted: "My subordinates understand, and I will remind Zhang Bangli." ”
What Mo Bai meant by saying this, that is, let Lu Xunyi go and give Zhang Bangli a wake-up call, Zhang Bangli is not a stupid person, it is enough to give a wake-up.
He is a thorn in the way that binds Hu Qingyan, and Mo Bai naturally doesn't want to see him have problems.
However, these are all things in the future, what will be the situation in the court in the future, there is no need to worry about Mo Bai for the time being.
"There's no need to worry, just find a chance to talk in front of him......" Mo Bai said, his eyes suddenly lifted, his eyelids jumped slightly, his voice was interrupted, and he nodded lightly to Lu Xunyi: "You go down first." ”
Lu Xunyi was slightly stunned, but immediately heard the movement at the door, turned his head, and saw someone coming from a distance, his eyelids jumped slightly, and then he got up cleanly: "My subordinates retire." ”
Lu Xunyi didn't have to leave, he directly used his cultivation, and his figure flashed, and he went out of the door, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Mo Bai shook his head lightly, took a sip of the teacup, and then fell silent.
Soon, three figures appeared at the door.
The person in the center, with a blank face, stepped through the door and entered directly.
Next to her were Ning'er and Qingqing.
The faces of the two were different, Ning Er was younger, with a bitter little face, looking at the white eyes, obviously a little helpless.
On the other side, Qingqing, she has rarely taken the initiative to see Mo Bai, and in the past few days, almost as long as Lin Suyin comes to see Mo Bai, she will inevitably follow her.
Unlike Ning Er, although she seemed calm and unwavering, Mo Bai could see at a glance that she was deliberately gloating.
Lin Suyin walked into the middle hall and stood still in front of Mo Bai.
Mo Bai bowed his head and was silent.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Ning Er helped Lin Suyin: "Niangniang, sit down and talk......
Lin Suyin didn't say anything and didn't move.
Ning'er had no choice but to cast a look at Qingqing for help, but Qingqing just smiled, and then said: "Yes, Niangniang, how tired you are standing up, what do you have to say, sit and say." Don't forget, you've got a baby in your belly, so don't be angry......"
As she spoke, she actually came to the side and sat down first, and continued to speak.
But I only heard an explosion in my ears: "Get out!" ”
Qingqing was startled by this sudden voice, and hurriedly looked at Mo Bai, only to see Mo Bai staring at her with a calm face.
"What are you trying to do with me?" Qingqing muttered, but still got up, feeling embarrassed to go out like this, so she looked at Ning'er and said, "I won't say it's okay, good people can't do it, some people, hum......"
"You're here yourself!" Ning'er was speechless.
Ning Er was pulled out by Qingqing, Lin Suyin stood still, and Mo Bai didn't look at her.
After the two stalemate for a while, Lin Suyin finally spoke: "You just give me a word, can you spare Dingyu's life?" ”
"This matter ......" Mo Bai took a deep breath and was about to answer.
"Can you?" Lin Suyin interrupted him directly, without any expression on his face, and his voice was not wavering: "Mo Bai, you have deceived me enough, I don't ask you for anything now, I just want a word of truth." ”
