The Ming Wangfu was suspicious of the Southern Army's intentions and wanted to see what tricks they were doing.

Several ministers in the palace learned that the Lin family went to the Ming Palace, and Lin Dingyu couldn't sit still after he even stayed in the Ming Palace.

Hu Qingyan found King De, and the two discussed, and both of them believed that King Ming's actions should not be aimed at His Majesty's accession to the throne.

After all, His Majesty's accession to the throne was originally arranged by King Ming, and he had no reason to obstruct in this matter.

But at this time, King Ming hooked up with the Lin family, what was his idea?

The two pondered the purpose of the opaque king, and they were a little uneasy.

In the end, it was decided that King De would come to the door in person and go directly to King Ming to ask for clarification.

In the afternoon, King De personally went to the door of the Ming Palace.

"King De is here?" When Mo Bai heard the news, a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled at Lu Xunyi, who came to report: "I was thinking about how to find him, and he sent it to the door." ”

"King De must have come here for the Southern Army, and His Highness intends to tell the truth?" Seeing his expression, Lu Xunyi thought a little and asked.

"Well, if our expectations are not bad, the Lin clan is really setting up a situation and has the intention of cooperating with Xinjun, then they must negotiate the conditions with Xinjun in advance. If you want to negotiate with Xinjun, you must first contact Xinjun, and they can only choose one liaison among the four auxiliary ministers, and I guess they will choose King De. Mo Bai said.

"Why is it King De, isn't Qu Guochang a better choice?" Lu Xunyi was puzzled.

Mo Bai nodded in agreement: "Of course Qu Guochang is the best choice, but Qu Guochang has already been targeted by Zhang Bangli and will not give them this opportunity." ”

When Lu Xunyi heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Hu Qingyan is a scheming person, and the Lin family knows that he has the intention of fighting for power with the new monarch, and will not choose him. Zhang Bangli followed the first emperor all his life, and it was impossible for him to cooperate with the Lin family. If Qu Guochang doesn't mention it, then they will indeed only have King De left. ”

"That's right, as long as King De doesn't have problems, no matter what the Lin family wants to do, it will be exposed under our noses." Mo Bai replied.

"Your Highness has found a way to convince King De?" Lu Xunyi saw Mo Bai and seemed to be confident.

"It's not hard to convince him." Mo Bai nodded, stood up, and said softly: "I wanted to contact King De before, but I couldn't find the right time, but this time the Lin family gave me an opportunity......

……

In the main hall, King Ming and King De sit opposite each other.

"After the announcement of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the officials of all provinces have arrived in Beijing one after another, and the warlords have also sent people from all sides, and so far, no one has openly rebelled......

King De did not speak directly, but first explained the current situation to Mo Bai.

"It's a good thing, but it can't be taken lightly, and now it seems to be calm, maybe it's not a sign of a storm coming?" Mo Bai heard this and reminded.

King De immediately nodded and said: "The officials of the provinces of the national dynasty, since the great funeral of the first emperor, the court and the central government have been adjusted again and again, and the problem is not big, and the biggest challenge at present is still on the side of the warlords. ”

Speaking of this, King De no longer detoured, and asked directly: "I heard that people from the Southern Army came to King Ming's Mansion today?" ”

Mo Bai knew his intentions, and couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Wang should have come for this." ”

King De did not deny it, nodded and asked: "As His Highness said, we are now focusing on the warlords, but they have a stir, we don't dare to be careless, I don't know if the southern army came to see His Highness, whether there is any ill intentions, we should prepare early." ”

"The people from the Southern Army have come to me this time to discuss cooperation." Mo Bai nodded.

"Cooperation?" King De's expression froze, and he hurriedly asked, "What can they ask His Highness to cooperate with?" ”

"What else can it be, after they heard about the palace change, they thought that my majesty and I were already on the same page, so they came to me to discuss and unite against your majesty." Mo Bai said it lightly.

King De's face changed, and he suddenly stood up and said angrily: "The forest thief is really uneasy and kind, and he always wants to subvert our dynasty. ”

Mo Bai was calm: "It's not uncommon for them to have this heart, why does Uncle Wang need to make a big fuss?" ”

King De had actually been observing Mo Bai's reaction, and seeing that he was completely silent, his heart suddenly tightened slightly, and he looked at Mo Bai: "Then I don't know what Your Highness plans to do about this matter?" ”

"How?" Mo Bai's eyes raised to look at him and asked, "Uncle Wang, isn't he still worried that I will really cooperate with them?" ”

King De hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not, how can Your Highness not know the ambitions of the warlords, how can they be used?" ”

"Not necessarily." Mo Bai shook his head suddenly.

King De's eyes immediately tightened: "Your Highness, this matter is not a joke." ”

Mo Bai's eyes drooped slightly, and he said, "The people of the Southern Army have already made it clear that if I don't agree to cooperate with them, they will go to Xinjun to cooperate." As long as Xinjun can promise to give them Xijiang Province, they will support Xinjun to get rid of me, Uncle Wang, what do you say I should choose in this situation? ”

King De's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he said without thinking about it: "Your Highness, don't fall for it, how can the dynasty agree to give them Xijiang Province, this is simply wishful thinking." ”

"Uncle Wang really dares to guarantee that if Lao Jiu can call the shots, he really won't exchange a Xijiang Province for my life? It's just for the sake of face, Lao Jiu can give Northern Jiangsu to Qiman, and now for my head, just a Xijiang Province, will Lao Jiu be reluctant? Mo Bai looked at King De quietly and asked softly.

King De opened his mouth, but in the end he could not guarantee it.

Mo Bai looked into the distance, looked out of the door, and said slowly: "Uncle Wang, you have to stand on Your Majesty's side, I can understand." You and Hu Qingyan joined forces to guard against me everywhere, and I can understand it. I know in my heart that you are well-intentioned and do not want to see my royal family kill each other. But you see it now, there are some things you can't control, before the palace change, I also wanted to not interfere with the river water with His Majesty's well water, but in the end you saw it. Today, you should understand that it is no longer possible for Your Majesty and me to live in peace, the banner barbarians, warlords, and even the overweight Hu Qingyan are trying their best to force us to fight, and you, Uncle Wang, are actually doing their accomplices. ”

………………

……

King De returned to the palace with a heavy face all the way, and did not go to Hu Qingyan immediately, but went straight back to the class room and locked himself in the room alone.

This trip to the Ming Palace's mansion made his heart flutter.

Mo Bai's words kept echoing in his mind,

He suddenly felt that he really had to think about it.

His original intention has always been to hope that His Majesty can coexist peacefully with King Ming.

At the beginning, he opposed His Majesty's treatment of King Ming, but now, His Majesty is in a weak position, and he instinctively helps His Majesty to fight against King Ming.

Originally, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this, but today, when Mo Bai said a little, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Help this today, help that tomorrow, whoever is weak, and fight whoever is strong, so that the two of them are always equal and always fighting among themselves, isn't this exactly what the warlords are doing?

As soon as he thought of this, King De felt that he was drenched in cold sweat.

Sometimes people's minds are always limited to the inherent concept, but when they inadvertently jump out, they suddenly realize that they are so stupid.

He thought of Hu Qingyan, Hu Qingyan was not a person on the same road with him from beginning to end, and Hu Qingyan's position was to expect His Majesty and King Ming to fight each other.

But recently, he would get together with Hu Qingyan, and he was thinking about guarding against King Ming......

"Smack!" King De suddenly raised his hand and gave himself a slap, he always thought he was sober, but now he found that from the beginning of opposing His Majesty to deal with King Ming, to now helping His Majesty fight against King Ming, in fact, he has always been someone else's pawn, and he has always been involuntarily used by all those who want His Majesty to fight with King Ming.

Unknowingly, he became an accomplice and did the same thing as them.

When I look back and think about it, King De has to really realize that, as King Ming said, everyone is pushing them to fight, forcing them to fight, how can King De be able to fight against everyone with his own strength?

Peaceful coexistence is simply impossible, and the most important thing that King De should do, and can only do, is to choose one between His Majesty and King Ming, and assist him with all his might.

Choose?

King De showed a wry smile, to this day, does he still have a choice?

There was a knock on the door.

Seeing that after King De came back, he didn't look for him, so Hu Qingyan took the initiative to come over.

King De hurriedly got up to greet him, and when Hu Qingyan saw the slap mark on King De's face, he was taken aback: "What's going on?" ”

King De was stunned for a moment, looked at his hand pointing at his face, reacted, and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, this is the old man's own beating." ”

"I hit it myself, what is the reason for this?" Hu Qingyan was puzzled.

"Don't talk about that." King De shook his head with a wry smile, and changed the topic: "It just so happens that the elder Ge is here, and the situation on the side of the Ming Wangfu has been clarified." ”

Although the elder was suspicious, his eyes stayed on the slap print on King De's face for a moment, but it was still important to get down to business.

After the two sat down, King De told the Southern Army that they were going to cooperate with King Ming, but he didn't mention that the Southern Army said that they would cooperate with Xinjun, and only told Hu Qingyan: "King Ming's side means to pretend to be perfunctory to the warlord's side for the time being, restrain their experience, and avoid letting them not cause trouble everywhere." ”

………………

……

And after King De left, in the Ming Palace, Lu Xunyi was still a little worried in his heart: "Will it be a bit risky to force King De to make a choice now?" ”

Mo Bai muttered: "The opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again, it is far better to use this matter to wake up King De and let him make his own choice, than we take the initiative to win over." ”

Lu Xunyi asked in a deep voice: "After all, the royal family is not interested in us, if he chooses the new monarch......

"If it was before turning his face with the palace, he might choose Your Majesty, but after so many things, Lao Jiu has lost almost every battle in so many battles with the bannerman, with the warlord, with the court, and with our Ming Palace. In the hands of the banner barbarians, they were forced to give up northern Jiangsu. In the hands of the warlords, there is nothing to be done about being forcibly seized several cities. In Hu Qingyan's hands, he had to bow his head and ask me to ask Hu Qingyan to come out of the mountain. In the end, we almost lost our lives at our hands. ”

Mo Bai said, shook his head and said: "After this kind of seed, if King De wants to keep the royal family alive, can he still have hope for Lao Jiu?" ”

Lu Xunyi's face also slowly relaxed, and he nodded excitedly and said, "If King De is willing to stand on our side, our control of the palace will be one step closer." ”
