Facing Lao Jiu's questioning, Mo Bai shook his head: "The matter of resisting barbarians is the top priority of the dynasty, and it is what you must do as a monarch." I want to fight the flag, in the final analysis, I am also charging for the country and you, in addition, I will not interfere in all matters of the government. Perhaps, you don't have to see yourself as a puppet, think about it from another angle, and you may not be able to see me as a chess piece that is valuable to you. ”

"Sixth brother, although I am not very old, I am not a three-year-old child, and I am not so stupid as to deceive myself. Resisting barbarism is indeed the top priority of the dynasty, and it is also something I must do, but whether it is resisting barbarians or others, it should be my will, not the sixth brother, you have the final say. ”

Lao Jiu disagreed, and immediately sarcastically said: "Otherwise, I will sit on this throne, everything can only listen to you, and if it is not to your liking, it will be difficult to save my life, this is not a puppet, what is it?" Sixth brother, let's ask through the ages, can any emperor not only not resist in this situation, but also willingly be treated as a puppet and at the mercy of others? ”

Mo Bai was not angry at Lao Jiu's sarcasm, but quietly looked at Lao Jiu's face that was blue due to emotional instability, and said slowly: "You are right, but any monarch will definitely want to have supreme authority from all over the world." But throughout the ages, how many emperors have really done it? In the final analysis, this authority is not given to you by the dragon chair under your ass now, but is determined according to the ability of the monarch, the strategy of the ministers, the bravery of the soldiers, and many other national conditions. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Bai stared at Lao Jiu's eyes: "What is the national situation like now, I don't need to repeat it." Now you can barely sit on this chair, which is already very good. Why are you so loud that you want everything to be decided by your will? Is it just your ability to not be on the stage at all? ”

"I ......" Lao Jiu's face turned red when he heard this, and he was about to speak angrily.

Mo Bai directly interrupted him: "You don't have to worry, I know you are not convinced, since I said it before, there must be an explanation between our brothers." I will say what you want to hear and what you don't want to hear today. As for the end, whether you accept it or not, and what decision you make, is up to you. ”

Lao Jiu and Mo Bai looked at each other for a long time, their chests rising and falling, but in the end, they were still taken by Mo Bai's might, looked away, no longer looked at Mo Bai, in order to maintain his pride, and at the same time said: "Okay, I'll see what the sixth brother has to say?" ”

"You keep saying that you can't tolerate me as an unsubordinate, the main reason is that you don't want to admit your mistakes, and you want to give you today's adventure blow and find an excuse to convince everyone, including yourself." Mo Bai asked.

"It's not an excuse, it's what it is. Succeeding in defeat and losing today, I am not wrong. Lao Jiu shook his head and said.

At this time, Lao Jiu, who was strong in the outside world, was really just like a negative child in Mo Bai's eyes, there was no majesty at all, and Mo Bai didn't bother to bother with him, turned around, no longer looked at him, but said: "Okay, from your point of view, you want to get rid of me, you can." Even to be honest, you can have the courage to break the boat, although I am pierced by thousands of arrows today, but in fact, in the bottom of my heart, I have this courage for you, can withstand great pressure, can make this determination, I still appreciate it. ”

As soon as these words came out, the real person and the queen mother, who were sitting on the side and never interjected, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, looking at Mo Bai's back, a little surprised.

Lao Jiu was even more stunned, he was ready to be ridiculed by Mo Bai, but he didn't expect Mo Bai to say this.

The eyes of the three of them were focused on Mo Bai, but they only heard Mo Bai say again: "However, you are still too tender after all, you only have courage but no strategy." You have chosen the most stupid time to do it, and I ask you, if you kill me today. Have you ever considered Fang Youqun's idea, you know, I was poisoned by you because I wanted to protect Fang Youqun. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Bai suddenly turned around and looked directly at Lao Jiu: "Once the warlord learns the news, they will definitely take this opportunity to take advantage of this matter to win over Fang Youqun." Do you dare to make sure that Fang Youqun will not vote for a warlord in order to protect himself? Do you dare to imagine what kind of terrible consequences will be caused by the treason of this military marshal? ”

Lao Jiu's face was ugly, his lips moved, but not a word came out, when he killed Mo Bai, he didn't think so far at all.

Mo Bai ignored him, pressing step by step: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Fang Youqun is loyal enough, the warlord can't win him over, and he will definitely take the opportunity to encourage his soldiers, once the soldiers learn, how can they not immediately uproar, the battlefield mutiny, will be more serious than the consequences of Fang Shuai's treason, can the court suppress it at that time?" ”

"If you take another 10,000 steps back, this army will not be in chaos, and its morale will inevitably be low, and the banner barbarians will take advantage of the unstable heart of our army to attack and take northern Jiangsu. This can be as you wish, but do you dare to think about how to place this group of soldiers who have lost the battle? At this time, they hated the flag and the country, this red-eyed army killed in the sea of blood in the sword mountain, with great resentment, as long as they were slightly agitated, they would become an army of chaos that was even more terrible than the flag barbarian, can you bear the consequences? ”

"Not to mention, the warlord will look sideways like a tiger and wolf, and will try his best to absorb this unstable army, just like when I beheaded Mei Qingfeng and the Daomen was in chaos, they will open their bloody mouths and never give up if they don't devour this army. Will the dynasty sit idly by? Definitely not, we must fight with them, the first emperor is gone, and the king is dead. The dynasty is just a young monarch of the country, and Hu Qingyan is still in the court, will they be afraid of you? ”

"When the time comes, they will not be afraid of you, and with your character, will you be able to endure the contempt of others? I'm afraid not, the joint anti-barbarism will become a piece of waste paper, and there will be a civil war again......"

Speaking of this, Mo Bai stopped talking, paused for a long time, and then looked at the three people present, all of whom had pale faces, and said to Lao Jiu: "Can you bear this consequences?" No, don't talk about bearing, I'm afraid just think about it, you have to be weak. ”

Lao Jiuyi clenched his fists with both hands, his body began to tremble again, and his pale face was raised, looking at Mo Bai, with a strong unwillingness in his eyes, but he couldn't speak.

Under Lao Jiu's gaze, Mo Bai turned his back to him again: "It's right to kill me, the time is wrong, if you replace me with you and want to kill King Ming, you have two chances." ”

"The first time was when I first returned to Beijing, I didn't know that the first emperor was dead at that time, and I didn't have the slightest preparation, if you have enough courage, you should do it as soon as I enter the palace. Although killing me will cause the Daomen to re-establish and add too much trouble to the dynasty, it is not without advantage to kill me at that time. At that time, I could use the power of beheading me to deter the dynasty and announce the arrival of the new emperor's era. At the same time, it can take advantage of the sensation of the great funeral of the first emperor to dilute the influence of the king of the Ming Dynasty. ”

When Lao Jiu heard this, his eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about Mo Bai's words, and after a while, a look of deep remorse appeared in his eyes.

On the side, the Queen Mother's face sank instantly, she stared at Mo Bai's back, and wanted to scold him to shut up, how could she teach others to kill herself?

As for the real person, he closed his eyes, and only he knew that even if he did it at the time, it would be useless.

Outsiders don't know, don't real people know that Mo Bai has always been the one who knows the death of the first emperor.

The real person didn't believe it, since Mo Bai thought that Xinjun might attack him, would he be defenseless?

Mo Bai's voice continued to come, still so calm, as if he didn't care at all about helping Lao Jiu consider killing himself: "The second chance is when Yuqing and the others came to Beijing to meet me, and I had a big fight with several Daomen Venerables. ”

With his voice, Lao Jiu and the Queen Mother couldn't help but think of the scene at that time.

Mo Bai's voice continued: "This time the opportunity is even better than when I first entered the palace, if you don't care about the thirty-seven twenty-one, directly use the thunder momentum, in front of Yuqing and others, get rid of me, and then use my head to deter Yuqing and others, it is impossible to say that even the rebellion of Daomen has been avoided, as long as Yuqing and others dare not oppose on the spot, and then work hard, it may not be possible to use the identity of the new emperor to cooperate with Daomen." After all, Yuqing and the others were mainly afraid of the hatred of the first emperor towards them, as long as you showed enough kindness, they might not be able to accept them. ”

"That's not right." Suddenly, the queen mother spoke: "The emperor seems to have missed the calculation, at that time, the matter of the first emperor's funeral was still in a state of blockade, when Yuqing and others came, the emperor already had the ability to announce the news at any time, if the dynasty did something to you, how could it prevent you from spreading the news after you had an accident?" ”

The Queen Mother obviously wanted to help Mo Bai, or rather, to refute the possibility that the dynasty could kill Mo Bai.

But I only heard Mo Bai wrote lightly: "If it is me, the news of the first emperor's funeral, there is no need to block it at all, whether it is sealed or not, in the end, the people who should make trouble will still jump out, killing the Ming King is a big deal, it can interact with the first emperor's funeral, the threat of the Ming King in the eyes of the warlords is very great, and suddenly the news that the Ming Dynasty beheaded the Ming King, but it will distract the attention of the warlords, so that they will focus on the Daomen without the influence of the Ming King, which is actually a certain pressure for the dynasty." As for how chaotic the Daomen will be, as long as Yuqing and the others are still in the palace and in the hands of His Majesty, the main backbone is caught, and a little chaos is actually not so terrible. ”

After listening to Mo Bai's words, the Queen Mother's body trembled with anger, stared at Mo Bai fiercely, gritted her teeth and thought, "You are going to die!" ”

The hall was silent, Lao Jiu couldn't spit out any longer, he lowered his head, and no one could see his expression.

However, both the real person and the Queen Mother can think that Lao Jiu at this time is afraid that he regrets not being at the beginning, if it is according to Mo Bai's words, if he does it at that time......

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

"These two opportunities, you didn't see it, or you thought about it, but in the end you didn't dare to do it, until today, I have stabilized the situation, and the relationship with Daomen is getting closer and closer, and I also have a certain friendship with Hu Qingyan, after having a little influence on the court, you just used the most unusable reason, the most unusable time, the most untouchable time, to do it."

"What's more important is that you do it, but the result is leaking everywhere, none of them are developing according to your estimates, and in the end, you are defeated, and you almost didn't save your own life." Mo Bai turned sideways, leaned on the windowsill, and looked at Lao Jiu: "Lao Jiu, you have been smart since you were a child, but after all, you are still young and have not honed enough, do you recognize this?" ”
