Chapter 670: Difficult Choice
After coming out of the imperial study, Mo Beichuan returned to the class room with a complicated heart.
Since the last time King De approached him and showed him that he was inclined to King Ming, Mo Beichuan knew that he would eventually have to make a choice.
I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
waved off his subordinates, Mo Beichuan sat alone in the class room, slowly closing his eyes.
"General, success or failure will be done tomorrow, whether I can be clear about the treacherous and reshape the dynasty depends on the general!"
"I am willing to smear your majesty's liver and brain!"
In the imperial study, the last conversation with His Majesty reappeared in his mind, and His Majesty was still unwilling to give up after all, and he wanted to take a risk in the end.
Mo Beichuan neither dared to persuade nor knew how to persuade him, and in front of His Majesty, he had no other way but to receive orders.
But when he got out of the imperial study, he had to think about whether he really wanted to follow His Majesty to do that last game......
Mo Beichuan can go from a side disciple of the clan who is not taken seriously, step by step to the position of being in charge of the forbidden army, naturally he cannot be a fool who only knows foolishness and loyalty.
His Majesty's promise today that "the countryman will return it" and "wait for the public" can make him feel excited, but it cannot make him get carried away and desperate.
He knew very well that even if he really helped His Majesty get rid of King Ming, His Majesty might not really be able to fulfill his promise today.
Of course, if he can really help His Majesty succeed tomorrow, even if he can't be the prince of Wandai, he believes that His Majesty will definitely treat him well.
For him, that's enough.
After all, his situation is not good now, since the palace change, the guard's counterattack has made him very passive.
It is also now that His Majesty has fallen to this step, otherwise, Mo said that His Majesty would reuse him, I am afraid that if he does not put Mo Beichuan in prison, it will already be a favor.
It can be said that this is also an opportunity for him to regain the emperor's heart.
As long as he can help His Majesty turn the tables this time, His Majesty will definitely not care about the previous matter, not to mention the prince Wandai, at least he no longer has to worry about falling off the horse at any time and ending miserably.
If this opportunity is missed, it can almost be concluded that once His Majesty takes power again, it will be the day when his head falls to the ground.
But if things fail......
Then he Mo Beichuan will definitely not be able to escape the end of death!
Even the whole family, young and old, will be implicated.
Not only that, once Your Majesty turns his face in public, it will be impossible for King Ming to spare His Majesty's life, and then the dynasty is destined to be in chaos because of this battle......
The more Mo Beichuan thought about it, the more shocked he became, no one was not greedy for life, and Mo Beichuan was the same, if there was no way out at all, then he might not think so much, and it would be over.
But when he had one more choice and didn't have to follow Lao Jiu, he was naturally not so resolute, and he naturally had to think about it.
Mo Beichuan's eyes flickered sharply, and in a deep groan, he reached out and picked up the pen on the table, spread out a piece of white paper, and slowly wrote down two big characters.
"Your Majesty!"
Mo Beichuan stared at the word "Your Majesty" for a while, then took a piece of paper and wrote "King Ming!" ”
The two pieces of paper were juxtaposed, and Mo Beichuan stared at the two names, his eyes flashing, and he made a difficult choice.
After muttering alone for a long time, Mo Beichuan's eyes were finally certain.
It seemed that he had finally made up his mind, and after a slight silence, he picked up a pen and wrote down the names on the paper.
"Xu Shimao, Liu Qijun, Zhang Wu, Liu Gongqun......"
After writing down seven or eight names in a row, Mo Beichuan put down his pen and wandered his gaze back and forth over these names.
If there are people from the Praetorian Army, it can naturally be seen at a glance that these people listed on the paper are all powerful generals in the Praetorian Guard.
It can be seen that Mo Beichuan is very cautious, and his eyes stay on each name for a long time, thinking and thinking.
Eventually, his gaze rested on the two names, then crumpled the paper into a ball and said in a deep voice to the door, "Come in!" ”
There was a sound at the door, and then a soldier on duty pushed the door and saluted: "My lord! ”
Mo Beichuan said in a deep voice: "Please come over to the two generals, Xu Shimao and Liu Gongqun!" ”
"Yes!" The soldier received the order and walked away quickly.
Mo Beichuan looked at his departing figure, was silent for a while, his eyes gradually became firm, and he muttered: "There is no turning back arrow when you open the bow!" ”
Xu Shimao and Liu Gongqun are the people he single-handedly promoted and trusted by him.
It can be seen that he finally chose to stand on Lao Jiu's side.

………
On the other side, Hu Qingyan, King De, and Zhang Bangli sat together again.
To be precise, it was Hu Qingyan and King De, who took the initiative to find Zhang Bangli.
The three of them sat together, as if they had encountered some problems, and the atmosphere between the three of them was a little solemn and a little weird.
I only heard Hu Qingyan say with a straight face: "Yu Zheng and Lu Yutong have never dealt with the old man, I am afraid that the old man will come forward to persuade him, not only will it not be successful, but it will be bad." ”
After hearing this, King De and Zhang Bangli were both displeased, and only listened to King De: "In this case, why did the elder agree to let the two of them go to Qu Mansion?" ”
Hu Qingyan spread his hands and asked: "If they don't agree, can they give up?" In that case, you can still bargain with them and let them change people? Isn't this a place where there are no three hundred taels of silver, and it is clear that the heart is empty? ”
The two of them were speechless when they heard this, and after thinking about it, King De glanced at Zhang Bangli, shook his head slightly, and said helplessly: "Then only this king will give it a try." ”
"Is the prince sure?" Hu Qingyan asked.
"How can you be sure? This king has never been involved in court politics before, and although he is familiar with the ministers of the court, he has no deep friendship. But anyway, this king and these two adults have no selfish grudges. Now there is no other way but to persuade hard, hoping that the two adults can put the country first. King De shook his head.
He really can't help it, now that the wood is in the boat, Hu Qingyan has picked his pick, what can he do at this time?
It is definitely not possible to count on Zhang Bangli, Zhang Bangli is a close minister of the first emperor, the head of intelligence, and the ministers of the court and the central government are only afraid of him, and they all want him to die, let him talk, naturally not, and only King De himself will go out.
King Kede is really not sure at all, but if it doesn't work, it must be done, and the news of Qu Guochang's death must not be announced at this time, this is a strategy that has been established for a long time.
Hu Qingyan heard this, but he was worried: "According to the old man, the prince should not go out, after all, when Qu Guogong was here, he had a lot of discord with the prince, and even if his subordinates did not have any personal grudges with the prince, they were afraid that the prince was also very guarded, and they might not be able to negotiate." Now that we are short of time, all the ministers in the DPRK and China are waiting for the news of Yu Zheng and Lu Yutong, and this matter cannot be delayed for a long time. ”
King De was stunned and looked at Hu Qingyan: "What does Elder Ge mean?" The elder of the pavilion can't do it, and neither can this king, can you still let the chief go? ”
Hu Qingyan didn't answer, but his eyes were on Zhang Bangli.
When King De saw Hu Qingyan's appearance, he also looked at Zhang Bangli, his eyes suddenly flashed twice, and he originally wanted to say something, but he also fell silent at this time, waiting for Zhang Bangli to reply.
Zhang Bangli looked at Hu Qingyan and said slowly: "The elder has a grudge with those two, and the prince has a grudge with Qu Guochang, but has he forgotten that Qu Guochang was corrected by me?" If you want to talk about grudges, my grudge with Qu Guochang is the biggest, how can I come forward to negotiate? ”
Hu Qingyan smiled bitterly: "The chief may be able to come up with a way." ”
Zhang Bangli was also straightforward, and got up directly: "Okay! ”
After saying that, he turned around and went out, leaving Hu Qingyan and King De silent.
After a while, King De also reacted completely, and slowly spoke: "Didn't the elder of the pavilion think of it from the beginning, and he wanted to use this matter to test the chief?" ”
When Hu Qingyan heard this, he withdrew his gaze looking at Zhang Bangli's back, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, the old man has no other way but to turn to the chief for help." ”
Speaking of this, Hu Qingyan looked at King De and said casually: "But I didn't expect that two people would jump out at random, and the chief would have a way to ......."
King De's heart sank when he heard this, and he also became vigilant against Zhang Bangli.
As the elder said, this person is really terrifying, and he doesn't know how many people he has in his hands.
If it is said that Hu Qingyan is in power leaning towards the government and the opposition, this Bangli can not do it well, and Hu Qingyan will be able to draw his salary.
Hu Qingyan deliberately made such a play, obviously taking the opportunity to test Zhang Bangli, and at the same time reminding King De to be careful of Zhang Bangli.
King De stood up, did not say much about it, and stood up and left.
"Where is the prince going?" Hu Qingyan asked.
King De said: "I got Mobeichuan to take a trip, His Majesty has not intervened in this matter so far, what is the situation, this king wants to ask, otherwise he will feel uneasy." “
Hu Qingyan frowned slightly, and nodded: "I want to ask." ”
Without further along, King De turned and left.
………………
……
"King De?" Mo Beichuan's eyes flashed, he was waiting for the two lieutenants, but he didn't expect King De to come over at this time.
groaned slightly, but still said in a deep voice: "Please!" ”
After a while, the soldiers led King De in, the two glanced at each other, and Mo Beichuan waved his subordinates back.
"Is there something wrong with the prince?" After the ceremony, the two sat down, Mo Beichuan looked at King De, and muttered in his heart, King De had never come to him in person before, but at this time he came in person, he was a little uneasy, afraid that the discussion with His Majesty in the imperial study was heard by King De.
Sure enough, I only heard King De ask: "Today's matter, the general has reported to Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of regulations Your Majesty has?" ”
When Mo Beichuan heard this, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty didn't say anything, and it seems that he has no intention of interfering." ”
King De's heart was relieved when he heard this: "That's good, now that it's an eventful season, Your Majesty will ascend the throne tomorrow, and it would be great if you could have fewer twists and turns." ”
After that, King De looked up at Mo Beichuan, wondering whether to speak, depending on the situation, there seemed to be no change on His Majesty's side.
The worries on the side of the Ming Palace, maybe there was no problem, but just in case, he still decided to talk to Mo Beichuan, but he heard a faint voice at the door: "The commander and the prince are talking, please wait for the two generals." ”
The words that had already reached the mouth of King De were swallowed immediately, and he asked, "The general still has important business?" ”
Mo Beichuan immediately said: "But it's ordinary official business, don't worry." ”
