Chapter 357: The Lin Clan is ruthless
Pearl.
"You saw it all?" After Mo Bai calmly explained that Liang Jun went to reply to the capital, he looked at Jiang Dingyuan, who was standing in front of him with a shocked expression, and said softly.
What do you see?
Naturally, Fang Cai Mobai did not hide it, and said to Liang Jun, no matter his identity, no matter how old or young, but if he dares to stop it, he can kill him.
Although Jiang Dingyuan didn't know what was going on in the capital, he knew very well that Mo Bai was not joking just now, and even had the potential to turn his face with the country and the dynasty with only one step.
Jiang Dingyuan's heart was pounding, and in an instant, he no longer had an advantage in his status in the national dynasty, but at this moment, he was on pins and needles, and his life could be lost at any time.
"Your Highness, I didn't see anything......" Jiang Dingyuan didn't dare to look at Mo Bai, lowered his head and his voice was obviously flustered.
"You don't have to be afraid!" Mo Bai smiled, and then nodded to Tie Xiong standing beside him: "What happened just now is just some personal grudges between this king and the clan, this has nothing to do with you, you see it, this king has done everything, are you still afraid that others will know?" You don't need to be nervous about this, but you do need to think about whether you want to stay in the Ming Palace, or leave?
Jiang Dingyuan looked up at Mo Bai and wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer.
Remain?
Leave?
He was silent, since the Battle of Zhuyemen, he had followed Mo Bai's side, and he had no chance to come into contact with the people of the national dynasty at all, and he had not yet received clear instructions.
The bamboo leaf door is gone, and there is no point in staying in the middle of the bamboo leaf door anymore.
Originally, in this case, he should naturally continue to stay in the Ming Palace, and when he was in Zhuyemen, he received an order from the dynasty to pay close attention to and find out the news of the Ming King.
Now that he has come to the Ming Palace, he should naturally strive to stay and wait for the next instruction to come.
But now that King Ming is so competitive with the dynasty, and his identity has been exposed, can he still stay here?
For a moment, he was at a loss, staying, not staying.
Go, can't go!
Seeing that he stood there for a long time without replying, Mo Bai seemed to see through his thoughts, and did not think of the pestle, and said again: "Since you haven't thought about it yet, then let's stay for the time being, and then tell me when you think about it, if you decide to leave, I will send someone to send you away." ”
Jiang Dingyuan raised his head in disbelief and looked at Mo Bai: "Your Highness asked me to stay?" ”
Mo Bai said as a matter of course: "My Ming Wangfu is now the time to employ people, if you don't leave, why don't you use it?" I dare to use even the people of the Bamboo Leaf Gate who were destroyed by me, don't you dare to use you? ”
"But ......" sounds very reasonable, but Jiang Dingyuan is smiling bitterly, Zhuyemen has no foundation, in other words, they will no longer be affected by other people, and he Jiang Dingyuan is a person from the country, the country has not fallen, he will naturally be affected by the country, can this be the same?
"Whether this king dares to use you or not, it's not something you should worry about!" Mo Bai waved his hand and directly interrupted him: "If you decide to stay for the time being, you will temporarily go to work with the people of Zhuyemen." ”
"Your Highness!" Jiang Dingyuan finally decided to stay for the time being.
"Don't worry about thanks, there is one thing that this king still has to remind you." Mo Bai stood up, walked up to him with his hands in his hand, and said.
"Your Highness, please!" Jiang Dingyuan hurriedly gave up his hand, if His Royal Highness didn't say anything to leave him, he would be uneasy in his heart, and it would be normal to have special requests.
"If you want to go, I will not embarrass you. If you can't make up your mind for the time being, I can also help you get in touch with the dynasty, but you must remember that as long as you work in my Ming Palace, then the task I will give you is above all else, and you must do your best to do it well. If you feel that you can't do it, you are not a Zhuyemen person, you don't have to atone for your sins with them, and you have merit in protecting me, I can give you a chance to let you leave. But it's still the same sentence, if you stay, then I don't care what hardships you have, and no matter what purpose you stay in the Ming Palace, just look at the results of the work, I will reward you for your merits, and I will punish you if you have done so. Do you understand what I'm saying? Ink white said in a deep voice.
"My subordinates understand!" What else can Jiang Dingyuan say?
Isn't that how it should be?
Could it be that His Royal Highness could still keep him in the Ming Palace?
It is already merciful enough to allow him to retreat, as for whether he can really get out of this quagmire in the future, it depends on the side of the country, in short, now, His Royal Highness can give him this opportunity, which is the best ending at present.
With that said, Mo Bai turned around and nodded to Tie Xiong.
Tie Xiong immediately stepped forward, took out two small jade bottles from his arms, handed them to Jiang Dingyuan, and said: "This time, you have meritorious service in guarding His Highness, this is His Highness's reward for you." ”
Jiang Dingyuan took a look at it sweetly, but he was no stranger, when all the people from the Bamboo Leaf Sect came to see His Highness before, they also got these two bottles of pills.
One bottle is used to assist in cultivation, and the other bottle is a healing pill.
For Taoists, gold and silver treasures are naturally not too much, but when they take money, in addition to giving it to secular families, they end up spending more on monastic resources, so the best reward for them is resources that are conducive to monasticism.
Previously, Jiang Dingyuan saw that everyone was rewarded, but he was not rewarded, but was left alone, he thought that His Royal Highness was alive to be rewarded, but how did he expect that the reward did not come, but came to be frightened.
At this time, looking at these two bottles of pills, he naturally wanted, not to mention the pills that assisted in cultivation for the time being, but the healing pills, he was really greedy.
King Ming was originally known as a miracle doctor, and he had performed a secret method before, and he was so seriously injured, and it was only ten days before he regained his bearing.
But......
"Your Highness, your subordinates don't dare to be rewarded!" Jiang Dingyuan forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart and bowed down.
That's right, now that the relationship between King Ming and the dynasty is so tense, I don't know what the situation will be in the future, and it's not sure whether he will leave or stay after that, where does he dare to be greedy for King Ming's reward.
"Take it, if you do things in this palace, you have to abide by the rules of this king, this is to reward you for your previous work, don't think too much!" Mo Bai said lightly.
Jiang Dingyuan glanced up at him, and finally reached out to take it: "Your Highness Xie!" ”
"Do it yourself!" Mo Bai said one last word, and then waved his hand.
When Jiang Dingyuan heard this, his heart became heavy again, and he immediately bowed down and walked out of the door.
……
There were only two people left in the room, Mo Bai and Tie Xiong, Tie Xiong looked at the direction Jiang Dingyuan left, his eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Sixth Master, I think he may not be willing to do things for the palace sincerely, leaving him is afraid of leaving trouble!" ”
Mo Bai narrowed his eyes and said noncommittally: "Cultivators from the national dynasty, their mentors are people from the national dynasty, the cultivation resources are rationed by the national dynasty, and even the secular family members are honored by the national dynasty, it can be said that everything they have is given by the national dynasty, how can they easily rebel, even if they don't remember kindness, the national dynasty has a way to restrain them, just like this Jiang Dingyuan, he lurks in Zhuyemen, and I don't know how many things he has done for the national dynasty, once those things are exposed, can the Taoist sect not hate him to the bone?" At that time, if there is no dynasty as a backer, they will die and have no place to be buried. ”
"In that case, why did the sixth master leave him behind and promise him to help him contact the dynasty?" Tetsuo became more and more puzzled.
Mo Bai didn't care, and said softly: "Why can't you stay, we are not a Taoist sect, he has no grudge against us, and he has never thought of letting him betray the country, as long as he is willing to help me do things." As for taking the initiative to help him contact the country......"
Speaking of this, Mo Bai looked at Tie Xiong and said, "I know what you're worried about, but do you think that if you don't keep him, the dynasty will let us go?" Now the strength I have shown, the influence shown by our Ming Palace, has greatly exceeded the bottom line that the dynasty can let go, for the emperor in such a state of instability today, even if it is his son, where can he have absolute trust, not to mention that this son has not been by his side for a long time, and even had a grudge with him......"
Tie Xiong's heart sank when he heard this, he knew that Mo Bai was talking about leaving Beijing back then.
Tie Xiong was silent, not interjecting in the matter.
Mo Bai didn't say much about this matter, and continued: "Before I first appeared, he might still be able to tolerate it, but now that the Lin clan suddenly publicly recognized my identity as the son-in-law of the commander of the Southern Army, His Majesty is afraid that he will no longer be able to tolerate it!" ”
Tie Xiong was stunned for a moment, how could his heart be pulled to the Lin family.
But after a little pondering, he changed color: "Is it ......?"
"Humph!" Mo Bai's eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly: "Do you still think that in their move, one of them looks up to me and shows favor to me?" ”
Tie Xiong really had this idea before, and he couldn't help but be shocked at this moment: "Tie Xiong was stupid, he didn't expect that the Lin family's move had such a deep meaning, and he actually deliberately provoked His Majesty's suspicion!" ”
"Tie Xiong, you remember, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, especially a giant like the Lin family who dares to change the dynasty upside down, his every move, you just have to think deeply, stand taller, and think farther away." Mo Bai Dundun admonished, and then sneered again: "My father-in-law is indeed ruthless enough, the previous plan to let his own daughter come to Mingzhu to die failed to succeed, and now he has made a comeback, and he immediately began to want to kill my son-in-law, and his family is really in danger of his life at any time, so he must not be careless!" ”
Tie Xiong didn't know anything about killing his daughter, and he was a little dazed at the moment.
Mo Bai didn't explain, his eyes flashed, and he continued: "Actually, my old father-in-law's move is not directly against me, he just hugged the grass and hit the rabbit and stabbed me with his hand, but this blow hit the point. Although in the eyes of outsiders, it is naturally impossible for me to betray the dynasty, give up my status as a prince and run away to do something? But in fact, there is no need for others to think of it, the key is what His Majesty thinks in his heart? ”
"Old ...... The Lin family is so ruthless! Tie Xiong's face was pale, and he opened his mouth to scold the old thief, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed it raw, how is it also the father-in-law of King Ming! As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Sixth Master, since you know that the Lin family has no bad intentions, and now Your Majesty is suspicious, why are you making such a big fuss in the capital today, doesn't this make Your Majesty more and more distrustful?" ”
Mo Bai was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "You don't have enough pattern!" ”
"I have a ...... pattern" Tie Xiong subconsciously spoke, but he was dumbfounded, wasn't he talking about business? But after thinking about it, I understood, since His Highness saw through everything, how could he deliberately fall for the trick? There must be a reason.
Mo Bai said in a deep voice: "You only saw that Your Majesty will doubt whether I will stop being a prince because of Lin's move, and go to the Southern Army to be a concubine, dividing the feelings of my father and son, and stirring up suspicion, in fact, this is nothing, compared to these, I am more worried about Lin's move, which hides the real killer move!" ”
"The real killer move, what does the sixth master mean?" Tetsuo asked.
"Perhaps, it would be better if there was an emperor in this world who could peacefully resolve the civil war!" Even Mo Bai's voice was slightly lowered.
Tie Xiong was shocked, but he happened to see Mo Bai's deep eyes looking at him: "You say, how about me being the emperor?" ”
"Your Highness......" Tie Xiong's lips trembled.
Mo Bai retracted his eyes, and then his voice was calm: "If you want to change the emperor, I am more suitable than other princes to solve the civil strife, after all, I am related to the Southern Army, I am easy to talk, and I am also dedicated to resisting the barbarians...... How about it, do you dare to underestimate the Lin family? ”
Tie Xiong's eyes were already full of horror, and this time he really realized the horror of the upper echelons.
As His Highness said, it was just a casual act of beating the rabbit with grass, and he quietly made a killing move to His Highness.
His Majesty could never tolerate anyone who threatened his position!
The more he thought about it, the paler Tie Xiong's face became, and His Majesty would definitely be murderous!
Mo Bai was still calm, but his eyes became deeper and deeper: "When I first showed my edge before, I asked Lu Xunyi to enter Beijing immediately to open a mansion, and then I sent Lin Suyin to Beijing, which means that my home is in the capital, although I am usually disobedient, but it is still under the nose of Your Majesty." Therefore, just provoking will not make His Majesty murderous against me. Therefore, now I must be vigilant that I have the conditions to replace him as emperor! ”
Speaking of this, he said slowly: "Now do you know why I made a big fuss in the capital? ”
"You...... Are you defiling yourself? Tie Xiong's heart was stunned.
"In addition to self-defilement, there is also temptation!" Mo Bai's eyes became deeper and deeper: "I want to see if Your Majesty is really as jealous of me as I guessed, and it turned out to be so!" ”
"Temptation?" Tetsuo didn't understand.
"If my majesty immediately suppresses it as soon as I make a fuss, then the situation will be fine. If he doesn't suppress it, but lets me make trouble, then it means I'm not mistaken. Now that you see it, it has become so big that everyone has already been killed, but the princess went over first, and His Majesty has not made a move. He didn't move, it only means that he doesn't want to move. What outsiders see is that Your Majesty may want to protect me, or maybe he is afraid of me. But what I saw was different, I only saw that he deliberately made me make trouble, and even he could continue to expand this contradiction quietly, waiting for me to completely offend the Manchu royal family and nobles before he would make a move. ”
Speaking of this, Mo Bai looked at Tie Xiong: "In this way, if I am asked to be the emperor in the future, can these imperial relatives agree?" Not to mention the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, a faint monarch who is not bound by the law of etiquette and dares to kill even his own relatives, they dare not serve! ”
"Your Highness, it's a big deal that we don't rely on the dynasty, why do you defile yourself so much?" When Tie Xiong heard this, he was obviously in a heavy mood.
Of course, Mo Bai understood what he meant, but he shook his head, walked out of the door, looked in the direction of the capital, and said in a calm voice: "We are strong externally, but we can't really be reckless, now that our strength is not enough, we will take a step back, and in the future, in this troubled world, nothing is impossible......"
