The cuckoo stayed only for a short time and left after a short time.

After she left, Mo Bai fell into deep thought.

Lu Xunyi said on the side: "Mr. Du's concern is not unreasonable, Qu Guochang is indeed a hidden danger, fortunately, there is no problem yet, and it is not too late for us to get rid of him." ”

Mo Bai said: "It's too late. ”

"Your Highness is worried that he has leaked this matter to others?" Lu Xunyi asked.

Mo Bai nodded: "In order to protect himself, he will definitely do this, as long as we move him, the people he arranged will make the news public." Cuckoo was right, I was negligent, I should have killed him then, it's too late to do it now."

Lu Xunyi thought for a while: "Maybe it's not too late, we can capture him first and force him to ask ......"

"I know that if I recruit you, I will die, if I don't recruit, I may still have a way to live, if I change you, will I recruit you?" Mo Bai shook his head, feeling that there was little hope.

Lu Xunyi's face was stunned and fell silent.

Mo Bai pondered for a moment and said: "It has been a few days since the palace changed, and since Qu Guochang didn't do it immediately, it means that he still has scruples and hasn't made up his mind. You don't have to worry too much, don't alarm him just yet. Leave this matter alone, I'll figure it out. ”

"Yes!"

Mo Bai turned his eyes to look at him: "Now our top priority is the Praetorian Guard Battalion and the Gyeonggi Battalion, as long as we control these two places, we can protect ourselves, does Wu Shuai have an answer from there?" ”

When Lu Xunyi heard this, he hurriedly said: "I was about to report to His Highness, but Wu Shuai replied that the soldiers of the guard battalion are the elite selected from all the armies, and they are only responsible for the royal family, not by any one marshal who can influence alone." The help that Wu Shuai's side can provide is extremely limited, this time at a critical juncture, helping His Highness open the city gate is already extremely risky, if it is not for His Highness's quick control of the situation, I am afraid that Wu Shuai's side has already aroused the suspicion of the dynasty. ”

"If it hadn't been for the suddenness of the incident, I wouldn't have used the people who were ambushed at the city gates." Hearing this, Mo Bai's face condensed slightly, and he nodded.

"We worked hard to ambush the shadows in front of the palace gate, in order to ensure that His Highness can have a way out at a critical moment, and His Highness can be unharmed, even if it is worth exposing Wu Shuai." Lu Xunyi said in a deep voice.

Mo Bai didn't say anything, in fact, as early as when the first emperor was alive and Mo Bai returned to Beijing, the Ming Wangfu had already made a lot of preparations.

In the capital, at the gate of the city, there is Wu Shoucheng, who once served as a group of pro-soldiers, as an internal response.

In the palace, he didn't dare to be careless, and Wu Dashuai arranged the guards as shadows, ready to answer Mo Bai and escape from the palace at any time.

Outsiders think that Mo Bai is full of guts, but if there is no adequate arrangement secretly, how can Mo Bai really run rampant everywhere?

"So, we're doomed to be out of control on the Praetorian Guard's side?" Mo Bai's brows furrowed.

"Wu Shuai means, if you want to completely control it, there is not much chance. However, if His Royal Highness can subdue King De for his own use, he may be able to influence the Janissaries for a short time at the critical moment when the situation is decided. Lu Xunyi said.

"King De?" Mo Bai was a little surprised: "King De is not involved in military power, the forbidden army has put him under martial law before, King De should not be able to control the forbidden army, but Hu Qingyan said that when the forbidden army was under martial law, he was still able to walk in the palace, and finally invited the queen mother." ”

"Your Highness doesn't know that although the forbidden army comes from various departments in the army and has a complex composition, the people in charge of the forbidden army have always been led by people from the royal family trusted by His Majesty. Mo Beichuan, the general who is now in charge of the forbidden army, was originally only a concubine from the palace of Ningfeng County, and his status in the clan was not high. When His Majesty wanted to choose the commander of the forbidden army, this person originally had little hope. Later, it was King De who came forward to recommend this person, and the emperor used him. King De has the grace of knowing him, and if he can ask King De to help, he may be able to play a role at a critical time. Lu Xunyi explained.

"I didn't expect there to be this paragraph!" Mo Bai really hadn't heard of this.

According to Wu Shuai, he was able to know about this matter, or when the first emperor was considering, he also asked his opinion, and at that time he casually mentioned that King De was very optimistic about Mobeichuan. There shouldn't be many people who know about this matter. Only Zhang Bangli should know about it in the palace, and even Xinjun may not know. Lu Xunyi said.

Mo Bai nodded and groaned.

According to what Wu Shuai said, there is really no need to work King De, but what kind of attitude King De will have, Mo Bai is not sure.

Since the death of the first emperor, King De has not targeted the Ming Palace, but Mo Bai understands in his heart that this is just King De out of the consideration of royal authority, hoping to use himself to help the new monarch suppress Hu Qing'an and Qu Guochang, and prevent them from bullying the young lord and abusing power over the dynasty.

If he really wants him to support his rebellion, Mo Bai feels that if he is in the position of King De, if he is not forced to do so, I am afraid that he will never risk the disapproval of the world and help him sit on such things.

While Mo Bai was thinking, Lu Xunyi spoke again: "The Praetorian Guard Camp is not easy to manage, but there is a way for the Gyeonggi Camp to do so." ”

"How?" When Mo Bai heard this, he immediately asked.

"The combat effectiveness of the Gyeonggi battalion and the Praetorian Guard Battalion cannot be the same, or even the opposite, the Praetorian Battalion is all elite, but the Gyeonggi Battalion gathers more powerful children, the first emperor had ordered Fang Shuai, transferred a group of soldiers to fill the Beijing camp, and wanted to rectify the Beijing camp, if we can get the support of Fang Shuai, plus Wu Shuai's help, we can control at least 30% of the Beijing camp, and it is also the most capable 30% of the Beijing camp." Lu Xunyi's face showed a little excitement.

"Fang Youqun ......" Mo Bai is not as relaxed as Lu Xunyi, Fang Youqun is not a bone to gnaw.

Don't look at Mo Bai who has been sending people to protect Fang Youqun and release kindness to him, but based on these, he thinks that he can win over Fang Youqun, and I am afraid that he will underestimate him.

But it's better to have a direction than no direction.

"Okay, then I will work King De and Fang Youqun, King De's side can only find opportunities in person, as for Fang Youqun's side, after a series of things during this time, Fang Youqun's attitude, I am a little uncertain. You send a message to Du Juan and ask her to pay attention to the situation on Fang Shuai's side this time. Mo Bai said.

"Yes!" Lu Xunyi received the order.

Mo Bai stood up: "You can't let the warlord be so idle, staring at us, you have to keep them busy, I'll go to the palace, it's time for Lao Jiu to ascend the throne." ”

After that, he turned around and walked out of the Ming Palace, heading towards the court.

Judging from the appearance, nothing has changed in the palace, and Mo Bai still enters the palace according to the rules.

Lao Jiu was still sitting in the imperial study, discussing state affairs with the courtiers.

Mo Bai didn't go to the imperial study first, but went to see Yuqing first.

The two of them sat down, Yuqing was very surprised by Mo Bai's intention, and asked with a slight frown: "Qu Guochang?" ”

"That's right, this person is a hidden danger and can't be kept, but this king can't be sure now, whether he has made preparations in advance, so some measures must be taken to dig out his hind hands before he can be moved." Mo Bai nodded.

"This ......" Yuqing hesitated a little: "If His Royal Highness wants to get rid of him, Lao Dao can try his best, but dig out his back hand, Lao Dao is afraid that he can't do anything." ”

Mo Bai glanced at him: "Real person, when Lao Jiu attacked this king before, he didn't show mercy to Lian Zun. When Lao Jiu was assassinated before, it was you who stopped the real person, and they have all reached this situation, we are already people tied to the same boat, if this king is defeated, how good can you be? ”

When Yuqing heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he couldn't wait to scold him with his heart.

They can be so passive, because of whom, isn't it all King Ming who put them in step by step?

It's really inappropriate for a son of man to still talk about the wind and cold things here.

But he couldn't do it again, so he could only hold back his temper: "Lao Dao is not shirking, he really doesn't know what to do, even His Highness can't do anything about him, what can Lao Dao do?" ”

"Don't worry, how can this king make it difficult for you, and this king will think for you." Mo Bai smiled and said.

Since you have a way, you can't just go on your own, why do you still find me?

Yuqing is not stupid, he knows that King Ming simply thinks that they are not deep enough, and pulls them to the evil road step by step, until they can no longer jump out.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mo Bai didn't pay attention to his mood, and said in a deep voice: "The real person has been in charge of the Dao Sect for many years, and he must know the magnates in Beijing, is there anyone on the Qu Guochang Mansion who can influence the real person?" ”

"No, the defense forces around Qu Guochang and other ministers are all guaranteed by the internal guards of the country." Yuqing replied without hesitation, he Yuqingshan really had no one to arrange by Qu Guochang's side, even if there was, he would say no.

Unless there is a hole in his brain, he will admit it.

"Your Excellency is not very good in this way, it is true that they are surrounded by internal guards, but in this kind of powerful mansion, which family has not supported one or two grandmasters by themselves, as a confidant, your Excellency still thinks that this king can not know that a large part of these grandmasters who are supported by the powerful are deliberately left by your Taoist sect to stay with the powerful, as for the purpose of you doing this in the first place, do you still need this king to continue?" Mo Bai's face sank.

When Yuqing heard this, he had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Lao Dao admits that there are indeed some secret sons lurking in the capital. But there is indeed no one from my Yuqing Mountain in the palace of the Duke of Qu, when the first emperor was there, although the Duke of Qu was the identity of the prince of the country, and he was in the position of the prince of the country, but the first emperor has always been very protective of his relatives, and the Duke of Qu actually has no real power, so we naturally have no need to make friends with him. ”

"Heh......, the real person has also learned to joke, Qu Guogong didn't have much real power back then, but he was the grandfather of the Nine Emperors, the first emperor has always favored Concubine Lan, and he loves the Nine Emperors, although Qu Guogong has little real power, but his influence has never been small, this king doesn't believe it, you will let him go." How could Mo Bai be deceived by him?

Yuqing shook his head: "Your Highness, the old Dao is really not in vain, the Daomen is not my Yuqingshan family alone, and it is impossible for my Yuqingshan to be friendly with all the important ministers, and there is really no one from my Yuqingshan on the side of Qu Guogong." ”

"Whose people are there?" Mo Bai frowned.
