Coming out of Zhang Bangli, Mo Bai gave up the idea of getting rid of Qu Guochang with his own hands, and went to find Yuqing instead.

When Yuqing saw him go and return, he was having a headache and putting on a bitter face, but he heard King Ming say: "You don't need to do Qu Guochang's affairs." ”

Yuqing was stunned for a moment, but then he breathed a sigh of relief, and said something about the scene: "What His Highness said, Lao Dao is just worried that his ability will not be able to survive and ruin His Highness's major affairs, and he has no intention of shirking." If it is within the scope of Lao Dao's ability, His Royal Highness only needs to say hello, and Lao Dao has no other words. ”

Mo Bai was noncommittal to his words, only smiled, and said: "Yes, then the king is relieved, although Qu Guochang's affairs have been handed over to others, but this king is not particularly relieved here, just ask your Excellency to help." ”

The smile on Yuqing's face froze instantly, and he was about to speak, when he heard King Ming say, "It's definitely within your ability." ”

Yuqing's mouth closed again, and at this moment, he really wanted to whip himself a few big-eared scrapers and call your mouth cheap......

After being silent for a long time, Yu Qing spoke, but his face was worried, and said: "Your Highness, if this matter is handled by several other Taoist friends, I am afraid that it is not appropriate for Lao Dao to interfere, otherwise, I am afraid that it will increase the misunderstanding, but it will be unfavorable to His Highness." ”

"Don't worry, I didn't hand it over to them, this matter is handed over to Zhang Bangli, he won't mind." Mo Bai replied.

"Chief Zhang?" Yuqing was stunned for a moment, he was still wondering in his heart, Taiqingshan or the four families, which one was so biao and willing to deal with such a troublesome matter.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhang Bangli.

Although Yuqing shirked and didn't want to come forward to do this, in his heart, he didn't want this matter to go wrong.

As King Ming said, now the two sides are already grasshoppers on a rope, and if something happens to King Ming, they will not be much better.

His face became serious, and Yuqing reminded: "Your Highness, I heard that Chief Zhang's current position seems to be on His Majesty's side, let him get rid of Qu Guochang, isn't it ......?"

Seeing his attitude, Mo Bai was still relieved, nodded and explained: "Don't worry, it is precisely because Zhang Bangli is on the side of Xinjun that he is willing to agree to help me get rid of Qu Guochang." ”

"Oh?" Yuqing didn't understand what this meant.

Mo Bai explained: "Zhang Bangli knows very well that I must get rid of Qu Guochang, but once I kill Qu Guochang, Xinjun's side will definitely be unable to help it, and if I don't do it, I will turn against me head-on." In the current situation, Xinjun and I have turned against each other, can he take advantage? Either I will be humiliated again and relent, or I will be pulled down from the throne directly. It was for the sake of Xinjun that Zhang Bangli took the initiative to take this matter over, so as to prevent Xinjun and I from facing each other head-on and suffering losses again. ”

Yuqing was stunned, but felt a little incredible: "But if Chief Zhang does this, Xinjun may not think that Zhang Bangli is helping him, but may think that he is on our side, and when the time comes, our side will think that he is helping Xinjun, and Xinjun will think that he is our person, so isn't he a human being inside and out......"

Speaking of this, Yuqing's eyes were cautious: "Your Highness, it's not that the old Tao is too careful, and the old Taoist really can't see what good Chief Zhang can do to him if he helps us get rid of Qu Guochang." Chief Zhang is a person who has been up and down in the palace all his life, how could he do such a thankless job, I am afraid that there is something greasy in this, His Royal Highness still needs to be cautious, don't fall for his delaying tactics. ”

When Mo Bai heard this, he smiled: "Do you suspect that he has bad intentions and promised to help me, but in fact, the real purpose is to delay time and save Qu Guochang?" ”

Yuqing saw that King Ming didn't care, this time, he was really thinking about King Ming, but King Ming had this attitude, suddenly, he was unhappy in his heart, so he didn't say more: "Your Highness seems to have made up your mind, that's old-fashioned, what does Your Highness send, please command." ”

The ink white eyes fixed on his face, and he saw that he was unhappy, so he was slightly silent, and then said slowly: "Don't misunderstand the real person, this king is not a person who doesn't know good or bad, and your lord's kindness, this king is clear." ”

When Yuqing heard this, his face changed slightly, but his heart was a little softer, and his tone was relaxed: "Lao Dao knows that His Highness's actions must be reasonable, but only out of caution did he say a few more words." ”

Mo Bai suddenly smiled: "It's rare that the two of us can sit together and talk a little more, I don't know if Your Excellency has good wine here, why don't you have a pot, this king and the real person have a few drinks, how about chatting for a while." ”

Yuqing was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Mo Bai for a long time, and he didn't know what nerves he had.

But after thinking about it, anyway, now that the two sides are almost tied together, since Mo Bai has released goodwill and has the heart to be closer to him, he is also willing.

Naturally, there is no shortage of food and drinks.

As for whether it is good wine or not, it has nothing to do with real people, it is all provided by the palace.

As soon as they said hello, their own subordinates hurriedly prepared the wine and food, and the two did not serve the table, and the real person waved his hand, and a low table was placed between the two, and the two were still sitting cross-legged on the futon.

The two drank several glasses together, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

The topic returned to just now, and Mo Bai's voice echoed in the hall, and this time the two of them didn't just talk about Zhang Bangli.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with it, everyone must have his own pursuits, when the palace changed, Hu Qingyan asked the Queen Mother to come out, and if he offended the new monarch, he also wanted to save me, because he wanted to be a minister. Like the warlord, he wants to use me to contain the new monarch and keep him weak. If I were to kill Xinjun that day, he would also help Xinjun resist me. ”

"King De's position is the royal family, and he needs a strong person like me in the royal family to deter Hu Qingyan's ambitions, so as to prevent powerful ministers from bullying the lord or relatives from usurping power. So during the palace change, he also opposed the new monarch killing me, but my role for him was only to help the new monarch deter the dynasty. He actually didn't want me to sit on the throne, because I was not soft on the people of the clan, and if I wanted to choose between Lao Jiu and me, he would still prefer Lao Jiu.

Zhang Bangli, compared with the selfishness of the previous two, his position is much purer. He has little selfishness, mainly on the side of the dynasty and the first emperor, Lao Jiu is the orthodoxy of the first emperor's personal will, so he firmly supports Lao Jiu, which is to maintain the dignity of the first emperor. But at the same time, he also has to think about the future of the dynasty, it is obvious that Lao Jiu is still young, and now it is not enough to support the dynasty, and the dynasty still needs the existence of King Ming. So Zhang Bangli is actually very contradictory, he wants to live up to the trust of the emperor and support Lao Jiu, but he doesn't want Lao Jiu to get rid of me, what should I do, I can only try my best to maintain the status quo and avoid me from having a hard time with Lao Jiu. ”

"So Zhang Bangli himself will not object to the killing of Qu Guochang, after all, Qu Guochang leaked secrets, and it was the dynasty that was ultimately damaged. But if I kill Qu Guochang, I will definitely have trouble with Xinjun, what can Zhang Bangli do, he can only carry the black pot on his head, and swallow his own suffering, he wants to be a loyal minister loyal to the dynasty and the first emperor, this is his pursuit, so he can do this thankless thing, in fact, he is forced to be helpless. ”

"The entire dynasty, except for him, has its own selfish intentions, although it seems that they don't want me to fall out with Lao Jiu, and they all want to maintain the status quo, but when it comes to it, only Zhang Bangli is willing to take the initiative to take this black pot for the sake of the new monarch of the country."

After listening to this, Yuqing didn't say anything for a long time, and finally just glanced at Mo Bai in a complicated way.

He had to admit that in terms of politics, he was not as good as King Ming.

At least it can't be like King Ming, and put everyone and everything on the table clearly.

Yuqing has spent most of his life rolling in the world's disputes, but Daomen has always been in the cracks to survive, precisely because Daomen cannot accurately grasp the most fundamental bottom line of each force.

They have always been tempted again and again, and then tempted, but in the end, they have not been able to get an accurate one.

Mo Bai didn't know what he was thinking, put down the cup, but suddenly sighed: "In fact, this king used to be high mountains and flowing water, an ancient temple, three or two small dishes, and half a pot of wine." But I don't want to step into the red dust once, and I haven't experienced the prosperity, but I have fallen into this grudge and hatred that is constantly cut and sorted out, and I can no longer get rid of it. ”

Yuqing was stunned when he heard this, and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, thought about it, and replied: "Your Highness's wish is also in line with the aspirations of my Taoists, why do my Taoists want to get involved in grievances and grievances, but I don't want to be right and wrong, but I can't escape right and wrong." ”

When Mo Bai heard this, he was silent for a while, but then shook his head: "I don't want right and wrong, but I can't escape right and wrong, this king feels that the first half of this sentence is reasonable, but the second half of the sentence is wrong." ”

"Please advise Your Highness!" Yuqing arched his hand.

Mo Bai said: "Since my generation has cultivated the Tao, we should be calm and calm, and it is right not to be willing to be right and wrong, but it does not mean that we are afraid of right and wrong." My Taoist cultivates a benevolent heart, but it does not mean that I am cowardly, as long as I live up to my heart, how can I escape the word? When encountering ghosts and demons, disrupting our dynasty and harming our people, I should stand up and fight the world with a sword. ”

Yuqing's words, in fact, had the meaning of testing Mo Bai, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this moment.

understands King Ming's attitude towards Daomen, and is still as firm as iron.

He thought for a while and asked: "Your Highness's words have made Yuqing deaf, but there is still one thing to ask for, if when all the charms and spirits are cleared, in the eyes of His Highness, how should my Daoist people behave in the world?" ”

When Mo Bai heard this, he couldn't help but look at Yuqing, he was very surprised, Yuqing's words were obviously asking, if he followed Mo Bai to fight the world, and finally settled the world, how would Mo Bai treat Daomen.

Thinking about the future in these words, it is obvious that he has the heart to truly belong to the Ming King, but he still has worries in his heart.

This is not a trivial question, even Mo Bai has to answer carefully.

If this question is not answered well, it is not good that Yuqing has the heart to join it just now, and it will immediately disappear and change his attitude.

Mo Bai groaned, back then, Daomen followed the Holy Grandfather to fight the world, and in the end, the Holy Grandfather gave preferential treatment to the Daomen, but in the end, Daomen became a disaster for the troubled country.

It is definitely not possible to be like the Holy Grandfather, Mo Bai thought for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Zhenren, why do the banner barbarians dare to invade my Great Xia?" And they can fight my Great Summer Festival and retreat, do they rely on the strength of cultivators? ”
