The four Venerables couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, seeing that King Ming suddenly made such a big move, they thought that something big had happened, but it turned out that they just asked them to send someone to protect Fang Youqun?

Just say hello to them, does King Ming need to come to the palace like this?

During this time, they stayed in the palace, and they didn't have a thorough grasp of the situation outside, and they couldn't understand King Ming's intentions for a while, and after the four of them glanced at each other, they secretly glanced at Yuqing and Taiqing.

But seeing that the two of them were also inexplicable, and they didn't know the expressions inside, they became more and more puzzled.

But there is one thing, they understand that King Ming made such a show in front of the imperial study, and it must have the intention of showing the new monarch.

Several people knew in their hearts, no matter what was going on, in this kind of scene, King Ming would never allow them to refuse.

Don't dare to hesitate too much, the four of them bowed down together and said, "Obey the decree of the king!" ”

"This matter will be handed over to the four of you, remember, the safety of Fang Shuai must not be lost, but anyone who dares to be unfavorable to Fang Shuai, regardless of identity, regardless of the reason......" Mo Bai looked directly at the four respects: "All will not be killed!" ”

Regardless of identity?

Whatever the reason?

When several people heard this, they intuitively felt that there was something implicitly referring to this.

None of them are stupid, obviously with some kind of warning, in front of the door of the imperial study, who can they warn?

Several people couldn't figure out the inside story, but they gasped at the same time in their hearts, and looked at Mo Bai with a shocked look in their eyes.

But I saw Mo Bai's expressionless face, a pair of eyes staring at the four of them, and after the four of them were silent, they still hugged their fists together: "Obey the decree of King Ming!" ”

Seeing that they should respond, Mo Bai didn't say anything more, hugged his fists to a few people, and glanced at Yuqing and Taiqing again: "Two real people, if the situation is really serious, this king will invite the two of them to go to Fang Shuai's side in person." ”

The four can't refuse, what can Yuqing and Taiqing do, they can only give up: "Fang Shuai is the pillar of my Great Xia army, if there is a sending, we have nothing to say." ”

Mo Bai nodded, glanced at the real people of the dynasty, and did not enter the imperial study, turned around directly, and disappeared into the palace forbidden.

Everyone stood at the door of the imperial study, and when they saw Mo Bai just leave, they couldn't help but glance at the imperial study, a little silent.

They were under a lot of pressure, and even at this time, they were a little hesitant whether they should go to meet Xinjun.

When King Ming came out like this, the meaning was already very clear.

Let them protect Fang Shuai, I'm afraid they are on the opposite side of the one in the imperial study.

It can even be said that when he went to Fang Shuai's side, the enemy he had to face might be the one on the dragon chair.

The peace between their new monarch before was broken in an instant, and the relationship between them and the new monarch suddenly became awkward.

They are now in the palace, but they have to confront the new monarch on the bright side, if one is not good, the consequences may be difficult to predict.

The four families were not mentally prepared before, and it was difficult to make up their minds for a while.

After the Gu family master was silent for a long time, he suddenly turned his eyes and glanced at Yuqing and Taiqing, who were standing on the side and were also silent on the spot, and did not move, their eyes flashed slightly, and then said to the three people around him: "Let's go!" ”

After speaking, he arched his hand to the real person of the country, and his figure flashed and left quickly.

The three of them glanced at each other, and then followed the example of the Gu family master, and after saluting the real person, they left.

"Alas!" Yuqing looked at the direction where the four of them disappeared, sighed lightly, shook his head slightly, and also hugged his fist at the real person, his body became lighter, and Taiqing didn't stay much when he saw this.

In the blink of an eye, only the real person of the country was left at the door, he stared at the direction in which the Daomen everyone left, and did not move for a long time, he knew that the Daomen did not enter the imperial study, which meant that they still chose to follow King Ming after all.

In this regard, Guochao Zhenren didn't say anything, but felt extremely heavy in his heart, and suddenly, his hair fluttered, and the figure disappeared.

In front of the palace gate, Mo Bai was already preparing to leave the palace, and suddenly came from behind him: "King Ming, slow down!" ”

Mo Bai paused, turned his head to look to the right, the figure of the real person of the Kingdom Dynasty appeared, and Mo Bai's face was calm: "What advice does Your Excellency have?" ”

The real person glanced at the soldier not far from him, and with a wave of his hand, the momentum suddenly unfolded, surrounding him and Mo Bai, and outsiders couldn't hear their conversation.

The real person stared at Mo Bai for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Your Highness, could it be that you promised the first emperor not to do anything before?" ”

"This king naturally does what he says." Mo Bai said expressionlessly.

"In that case, how can Your Highness explain today's move?" The real person asked.

"This king promised the first emperor not to embarrass the new monarch, but also to help the new monarch. But real person, you better not think that this king made this promise because he was subject to the threat left by the previous emperor against this king. Real people should know that even when the first emperor was in power, this king never gave in, and now just relying on the first emperor's successor, can this king tie his hands and feet? His white eyes froze.

The real person was also slightly imposing: "In this way, His Highness really intends to break his word." ”

"This king has broken his word, but he just wants to tell the real person that this king's promise to help Lao Jiu is not subject to the first emperor, and the real person should not threaten this king with the first emperor's followers." Mo Bai shook his head.

The real person was silent, just continued to stare at him.

Mo Bai continued: "This king is willing to help him, from beginning to end it is only for the sake of the overall situation of resisting barbarians, if he is a promising king, this king should keep his promise and be good to him." But if he acts perversely, will he also let this king help him to abuse him and act in cahoots with him? It's a joke. On the battlefield of northern Jiangsu, how many sons are in order to protect the land, and the blood is sprinkled on the battlefield and does not retreat. Now, as the monarch of the country, this bastard is trying to give up the land on his own initiative, so where are the many sons of Daxia who died on the battlefield in order to protect the country? ”

Hearing this, the real person's face became heavy, his eyes drooped slightly, and he explained: "The old man doesn't understand national politics, but he knows that giving up Northern Jiangsu is not His Majesty's personal honor and disgrace, but the idea of the courtiers who are in the middle of the war." This move is also for the long-term plan of the country, if you do not abandon the protection of northern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu will not last long, Your Majesty will be saddled with the crime of losing the land when he ascends the throne, how can the majesty deter the world? Even if everything is chaotic, Your Majesty can only come step by step, and only then can you clean up the chaos after sitting firmly on the court, which is fundamental. Otherwise, the dynasty will have no backbone, and what will be lost by that time will be a northern Jiangsu? ”

"Real person, since you know that you don't understand national politics, how dare you assert it like this?" When Mo Bai heard this, he directly refuted: "I have never heard that the majesty of the country and the prestige of the emperor can be obtained by taking the initiative to give up the country. The battle with the banner is already destined to be tragic, and without the determination to fight for every inch of land, we will definitely lose. At the beginning of the Mingzhu War, if it weren't for Chen Kezhan fleeing without a fight, the morale of the troops plummeted and they followed suit, how could Mingzhu fall so quickly? How tragic is the lesson of the beginning, and today, it is necessary to repeat the mistakes of the past? Your Excellency, why did Fang Youqun insist on not retreating, Fang Shuai fought all his life, and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, who could know the battle situation better than him? ”

The real person was silent for a moment, and finally did not say anything.

Mo Bai's voice also deepened: "The reason why Fang Shuai didn't retreat was not because he was arrogant, nor was he afraid of being charged with falling into a province, but because he knew very well that the first battle of Mingzhu and Chen Kezhan and others made the morale of the soldiers of Great Xia fall to the lowest point. Now the whole army is up and down, Fang Shuai is the sharpest banner of resistance, and the local people put all their hopes on Fang Youqun, as long as Fang Shuai is still there, even if the city falls, the people will not despair, they believe that Fang Shuai will not ignore them, and will definitely fight back. ”

"Only the people's hearts do not fall, even if the banner man occupies northern Jiangsu, he will not be able to live in peace, but if the people's heart falls, the banner man can quickly subdue northern Jiangsu, take northern Jiangsu as his own use, and radiate the entire territory of Daxia. Therefore, Fang Youqun can be defeated, and northern Jiangsu can also fall, but Fang Youqun must not take the initiative to abandon it. ”

When the real person heard this, his face couldn't help but be moved, although he was a real person, but he listened to the remarks of the courtiers and Lao Jiu around His Majesty, so he would naturally be affected, and unconsciously agreed with their "truth".

Even Fang Youqun resisted the king's order, he also had some doubts about whether Fang Youqun was really worried that after abandoning the defense, he would be burdened with the black cauldron of falling into a province, so he held the army to self-respect.

But at this time, when he heard what Mo Bai said, he suddenly realized.

He believed Mo Bai's words, but after being silent for a while, he still said: "Lao Dao really doesn't know the government, and he doesn't have the right to interfere in the government. However, Lao Dao just wants His Highness to know that His Majesty's actions have a reason, and if His Highness does not agree with His Majesty's strategy, he can enter the palace to discuss with His Majesty, how can he rely on his own point of view, he must think that His Majesty is wrong. Even more on this ground, what is the difference between coercing and rebelling against His Majesty in such a blatant coercion? ”

"Rebellion? Does the real person think that this king is now a rebel? Well, the real man said this, and this king accepted it. Then the king will listen to you, and go to the imperial study to give advice to His Majesty, how about it? Mo Bai looked directly at the real humanity.

"Of course it's good." Seeing that King Ming was so easy to speak, the real person frowned slightly.

Mo Bai nodded: "Before I go, this king wants to ask Your Excellency, once I go to see Lao Jiu and confront him face to face, then there is no way back." Either he listens to me, or I listen to him. I can make it clear to Your Excellency that I will never agree to give up Northern Jiangsu, if Lao Jiu insists on seeing a few times, then, when I resist again, the real person will not be accused of rebellion. ”

"This ......" the real person's brows instantly clumped, and he looked at Mo Bai speechless.

In fact, Mo Bai didn't want to go over to see Lao Jiu, but he knew that Lao Jiu was already very wary of him, and it was impossible to listen to him.

The two will meet, but it is equivalent to a face-to-face confrontation, and if they have different opinions, they will really turn their faces, and there is no room for maneuver at all.

Now like this, although it is also a confrontation, but in the end there is no face-to-face, whether it is the Ming Wangfu or Lao Jiu, at least there is a way out, and there is no need to tear your face on the surface.

Real people are not stupid people, and they are a little speechless for a while.
