When I came to the palace gate, it was already nightfall.

In the past, at such a time, the courtiers have been dismissed, and the palace gate has been closed, but today is different, the palace gate is still wide open, and there are still officials in and out.

When Mo Bai arrived, he happened to see a courtier wearing an official uniform, who was about to leave the palace, but for some reason he had an argument with the soldiers stationed at the palace gate.

Mo Bai was still some distance from the palace gate, but his ears were extraordinary, and he vaguely heard a sentence or two.

The courtier seemed to accuse the soldier of being rude and insulting him.

And the soldiers were warning him not to make trouble.

Several people were arguing fiercely, Mo Bai watched from a distance, and did not approach immediately, so he hid in the dark and observed.

Although it stands to reason, Mo Bai himself knows that it should be useless to observe the soldiers of the forbidden army at the gate of the city.

Even if Lao Jiu and Mo Beichuan had plans to attack him, they couldn't be stupid enough to send the news to the soldiers at the city gate.

If this is the case, wouldn't it be blatantly informing the Ming Wangfu that they are going to attack the Ming King.

But there's nothing wrong with being careful, being cautious and observing a little more always doesn't hurt.

At the gate of the palace, after the courtier and the soldier quarreled, a soldier soon came out of the rear.

It seems that it should be a young general, this young general came forward to exchange a few words with the courtier, the distance was a little far, Mo Bai didn't hear what they said, he saw that the courtier was excited again, and shouted angrily at the young general with a red face: "You are simply too deceitful." ”

The young general seemed to see that he couldn't make sense with him, and when he saw that he was about to make a fuss again, he gave a warning.

After seeing that it was useless, he immediately waved his hand, and immediately several soldiers surrounded him, and directly unsheathed his sword.

Seeing this, the courtier was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and finally didn't dare to make any more trouble, so he turned his head angrily and walked out of the palace and walked towards Mo Bai.

Mo Bai's eyes swept around, and he saw several carriages parked on the side of the road not far away.

Mo Bai knew that these carriages were all here to pick up his own lords, and Mo Bai glanced at the middle of the carriages.

Next to one of the carriages, a coachman was ready, looking at the courtier.

Mo Bai groaned slightly, then raised his feet and walked towards the courtier.

………………

……

After a while, the courtier approached Mo Bai, who had already stood still, waiting for the courtier to find out.

But he didn't want to, but the courtier suddenly stopped, turned to look at the palace wall, and cursed angrily.

"A few dogs are fighting with people, holding chicken feathers as arrows. The old man is a dignified and important minister, and a few reckless men such as you dare to humiliate the old man, and he is so rampant that he is really lawless. ”

"Tomorrow, the old man will go to Namo Beichuan in person to ask who gave you the courage to be rude to the old man."

"Hmph, just wait for Rong Er to be rampant for one night, the old man will definitely pick off this skin on your body tomorrow......"

Perhaps he was so angry that the man didn't even notice that someone was watching him behind him.

The courtier also seemed to be really angry, and stood there and scolded for a long time, but he still couldn't get enough of himself.

Mo Bai didn't have so much time, listening here to how this dignified third-rank master planned to take revenge on several forbidden soldiers.

And to be honest, the courtier's contemptuous attitude towards the soldiers at this moment also made Mo Bai uncomfortable.

"I wonder how those soldiers offended the adults and made them so angry?" Mo Bai couldn't help but interrupt his cursing.

"Who?" The voice of Mo Bai was not salty and not light, and the courtier was suddenly startled, and hurriedly looked back, and saw that it was King Ming, and was immediately startled, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness King Ming?" ”

It was at this time that Mo Bai saw this person clearly, and couldn't help but be very surprised: "Why is Lord Cai?" ”

Cai Yuande obviously didn't expect to meet King Ming, and it happened to be when he was making a lot of nonsense and threatening to take revenge on a few forbidden soldiers.

The cold sweat came down at that time, and he said tremblingly: "It's the lower official, the lower official didn't know that His Royal Highness was in front of him, he offended His Royal Highness, and asked King Ming to forgive him!" ”

"Forgiveness?" Mo Bai looked at him and frowned slightly, this Cai Yuande he had investigated.

Before, this Cai Yuande's family, because they were too afraid of the Ming Palace, caused fear to become ill, after Mo Bai learned about this, he checked this Cai Yuande, and saw that he was not an official who was not upright, but he had never done anything to hurt heaven and reason.

He ordered Ah Jiu to open a prescription and handed it to the next door, the prescription may not be so surprising, but Cai Yuande is heart disease, after realizing that the Ming Wangfu has no ill will towards him, and then there is a prescription to calm the nerves, this disease will naturally be fine.

Sure enough, Cai Yuande was not in a hurry to sell the house after that.

His impression of this Cai Yuande has not been very good, nor too bad, although the two are neighbors, they have never dealt with each other.

But judging from Fang Cai's performance, this Cai Yuande also has the problem of looking down on martial artists, so he said lightly: "This king is just an idle royal family, where can I dare to talk about the sin of this important person, if the adult is unhappy, I am afraid that this king will not be able to keep it." ”

"Woe to you!"

Cai Yuande's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and his knees immediately weakened, and he directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to ask for guilt: "Your Highness forgives your sins, and please ask Your Highness to learn from it, the old minister is just because he was humiliated too much today, and he was angry for a while, so he was quick to speak, and he never had the intention of using his power for personal gain to find trouble with those soldiers." ”

"Tell me, what's going on, why are you arguing with the soldiers at the palace gate?" Mo Bai didn't let him stand up.

"Your Royal Highness Mingjian, the old minister has never been embarrassed by the soldiers...... this courtier was full of grievances, and he was deeply afraid that Mo Bai would misunderstand, so he immediately explained the cause and effect: "There are many events in the court today, and a group of officials have been taken by the forbidden army, which has caused some delays in the preparation of the ceremony, and all the ministries have to work overtime and apportion characters to make up for the lack of those people......"

"Getting to the point!" Mo Bai saw that someone on the other side of the palace city was already looking towards this side, it should be the internal guard stationed in front of the palace gate, and he noticed the abnormality.

However, after finding out that it was Queen Ming, he didn't dare to come, so he looked at this side from a distance on the side of Miyagi.

Cai Yuande immediately put it simply, it turned out that Cai Yuande had a friend in the Ministry of Rites, named Xie Dongming, as the organizer of the enthronement ceremony, after many people in the Ministry of Rites were taken by the forbidden army, they were immediately in chaos, and everyone was busy.

Xie Dongming was really too busy, so he asked Cai Yuande to help him.

This Xie Dongming is very accomplished in calligraphy, and after the incident, Cai Yuande fell silent and asked Xie Dongming for a pair of ink treasures.

"The old man heard before he left office, and today the palace is forbidden, and the search is stricter than before, so it is troublesome, and the old minister did not bring anything except this ink treasure when he left the palace. But I didn't expect that it was a pair of innocent ink treasures, and these soldiers detained it indiscriminately, and the old minister was really angry, so he argued with the soldiers. ”

"Today's search is stricter than the previous days?" Mobai's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"It's stricter." Cai Yuande nodded.

"In that case, the forbidden army's seizure of your Mobao should not be aimed at you alone, why do you want to make trouble?" Mo Bai Dao.

Cai Yuande shook his head and said, "Your Highness doesn't know anything, if it's just a pair of ink treasures, it will be deducted." They are clearly deliberately targeting the old ministers. In front of the old minister, when the Zhang of the Criminal Department was inspected, I saw the guard with my own eyes, but I just rummaged through his box, and only asked a few routine questions, and then let him go. As a result, it changed when I came here, not only did they detain Mobao, but they also interrogated them again and again, and treated the old ministers as thieves in public. At that time, many people's eyes changed when they looked at Lao Chen, and if he didn't make this matter clear, Lao Chen was only afraid that his reputation would be tarnished. ”

"You have a grudge against the Forbidden Army?"

"Lao Chen has always been kind to people, don't say that he is not on the side of the forbidden army, even with his surrounding colleagues has always been harmonious, and there is no grudge."

"Then why do you say they're targeting you?"

"The old minister doesn't know."

In fact, when asked this, Mo Bai already had a guess in his heart.

The reason why Cai Yuande was targeted was because he suffered an unwarranted disaster, because he was a neighbor of the Ming Palace, so he was implicated.

Of course, Mo Bai couldn't say this idea directly.

A Q&A with this Cai Yuande was an unexpected gain.

Mo Bai basically knew everything he wanted to know, so he said in a deep voice: "Lord Cai, if you feel that the Praetorian Guards have targeted you and are dissatisfied with Mobao's detention, you can go to the Praetorian Guards to react, or you can report to the cabinet, or even report to the Imperial Palace." But the only thing that can't rely on the identity of the three-grade important minister, so he made a big fuss at the palace gate, do you think that the other party is just a few generals, and you can bully them casually? ”

"The subordinate is guilty!" Cai Yuande didn't dare to refute and admitted his mistake on the spot.

"Now that wars are raging, it is these sword-wielding soldiers who are bleeding and sacrificing, fighting on the battlefield, and guarding Great Xia. As a great minister of the country, you should have some respect for the generals. Mo Bai nodded, and finally said, "Get up, don't have a next time!" ”

"Remember the teachings of His Highness!" Cai Yuande finally felt relieved, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and slowly got up.

…………

……

If there was one before, I wasn't sure if King De really had an accident, then after seeing Cai Yuande, Mo Bai was completely out of luck.

King De must have had an accident, and he must have been planted in the hands of Mo Beichuan.

Before, he had a doubt in his heart, even if King De trusted Mo Beichuan again, it was impossible for him to be so reckless, and before he went to see Mo Beichuan, he always had to explain something to the henchmen around him.

In this way, if something happens, you can also notify the Ming Wangfu to save him in time.

But so far, the Ming Wangfu has not received any news from King De.

At this moment, through the scene of Fang Cai, through Cai Yuande, Mo Bai understood.

If he can think of this, Mo Beichuan will definitely think of it too.

Needless to say, the increased search of the Praetorian Guards is not because tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, but because it is aimed at the possible backhand of the King of Germany.

After confirming this, Mo Bai was not panicked, but calmer than before.

He did not flinch, and walked directly towards the palace gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Mo Bai took out the sign given by the Queen Mother that allowed him to enter and leave the palace.

After the guards inspected him, he was let into the palace.

Mo Bai did not hesitate and went straight to the imperial study.

At the entrance of the imperial study, there are many soldiers.

Mo Bai didn't break in, he stood at the door and waited for a while, and someone came out.

It's not an inner servant, but Mobeichuan.

"Your Highness!" Mo Beichuan came forward and bowed.

Mo Bai's face was calm, and he didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

Mo Beichuan glanced at him, lowered his gaze again, and then said, "Your Highness, please!" ”

Mo Bai looked at him, suddenly smiled, then nodded, and said softly: "Mo Beichuan, this king may have underestimated you." ”

Mo Beichuan's eyes shrank for a moment, and then calmed down: "Your Highness is laughing!" ”

"Is King De still alive?" Mo Bai asked again.

Mo Beichuan's face was stunned, and he said with surprise: "Why did Your Highness say this?" ”

Mo Bai smiled again, shook his head, ignored him, and raised his feet into the imperial study.

Mo Beichuan didn't follow up, and he didn't seem to plan to follow up.

However, when Mo Bai walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and beckoned to him: "You come in too." ”
