Yuqing groaned, and then said: "Presumably, Your Highness also knows that our Daomen have three mountains and four gates, although they seem to be in the same spirit, but in fact, they are also competing with each other. They operate in secret, and they will also deliberately guard against other people, who is who, to be honest, many of us can't be sure of each other. ”

"Real person, don't let me ask Taiqingshan and the four families one by one, right?" Mo Bai's eyebrows were tighter, and he knew in his heart that if he really wanted to ask the family, he might not admit it.

Yuqing was also calm: "Lao Dao really didn't deceive His Highness, if His Highness doesn't believe it, after taking Qu Guochang, if it is confirmed that the grandmaster who is supported by him is a person from Yuqing Mountain, Lao Dao is at the disposal of His Highness, and there is no other word." ”

Mo Bai stared at him for a while, and finally couldn't do anything about him, and said in a deep voice, this matter can only be handled by people who have been lurking around Qu Guochang, which is more appropriate.

So he had to get up and say, "Since the true man said so, this king also believed it." ”

Out of Yuqing's door, he went to find Taiqing again, and like Yuqing, Taiqing also denied it.

There was no way, Mo Bai had no choice but to go to Fang Menggu again, but Fang Menggu was more decisive than Ershan Zhenren, and bluntly said no.

Gu Zun even told him that there was no need to ask Lian Zun: "The relationship between our four gates and the national dynasty has always been good, so we don't act like a chicken and a dog like Sanshan." Our dealings with the powerful in Beijing have always been above board, and we don't have so many scruples. When the first emperor was there, whenever there were magnates in Beijing who traveled to inspect the place, the magnates were worried about the lack of internal security around them, and they would take the initiative to borrow people from our four gates, and the dynasty did not stop this, so we didn't have to make friends secretly like Sanshan, and we all planned to interact with the courtiers openly. ”

Mo Bai's face suddenly sank, saying this, Yuqing and Taiqing, there must be one person who fools him again.

But he didn't want Gu Zun to fall into the well this time, but said with a solemn face: "Your Highness, the Daomen is not only our two mountains and four gates, if it is really not Yuqing and Taiqing, then it is very likely to be Shangqing Mountain." ”

"Shangqing Mountain?" Mo Bai's heart suddenly shook.

"Yes, when Your Highness talks about this today, it suddenly reminds me that if Daomen has the deepest penetration in Beijing, it is definitely us, but Shangqing Mountain. The relationship with the country was the most tense back then, and the first to make up their minds to part ways with the country was Shangqing Mountain, they began to lay out from a very early stage, even if Mei Qingfeng is gone now, but the heritage they left in Beijing is not broken. Yuqing was silent slightly, and suddenly spoke.

"If it's really Shangqing Mountain, then it's troublesome." The inky white eyes were condensed, and he said in a low voice.

"Yes, if Qu Guochang really has a shadow left by Shangqing Mountain by his side, and is regarded as a confidant by Qu Guochang, then Qu Guochang's every move will inevitably not escape their eyes." The head of the Gu family also became solemn.

At this moment, he seems to be working with King Ming, in fact, this is not a fraud, when the previous dynasty dealt with King Ming, he even took Lian Zun with a dead hand, making them realize that the new monarch is too dangerous, and he is the one who really dares to kill them, which makes the four families completely abandon the idea of taking refuge in the new monarch.

In fact, if you dig deeper, from the very beginning to the end, as the head of the Gu family himself, he never thought of taking refuge in the new monarch.

If the new monarch wins, the king of Ming will die, and the queen mother will also be implicated, and the queen mother will be his Gu family in the final analysis, and the head of the Gu family will be jealous of the new monarch, and in the end he will not be able to please the end.

It's just that he can't express his thoughts, after all, the four families are a community, and if he throws himself directly to King Ming desperately, he will definitely make the other three families have thoughts about him, so all along, he can only try to show that he stands on the big position of the four families.

Mo Bai didn't say anything more, and got up directly to leave.

The head of the Gu family said again: "Your Highness, slow down! ”

Mo Bai looked back at the Gu family master, and only listened to the Gu family master's words: "Your Highness doesn't have to be too hasty, the situation may not be as bad as Your Highness thinks." ”

"How?" Mo Bai was slightly stunned, he was indeed not ready to wait, and was ready to take Lu Xunyi's measures, directly take down Qu Guochang, and torture him for questioning.

"Even if Shangqingshan really knows the truth, it may not immediately inform the Lin family, as far as we got, the relationship between Shangqingshan and the Lin family is not harmonious, the Lin family did not give Shangqingshan the treatment in the past in the country, Shangqingshan is also wary of the Lin family, especially the last battle in front of the Rongcheng Gate, Shangqingshan suffered heavy losses, and the relationship with the Lin family is becoming more and more tense, and now they may not sell everything to the Lin family." The Gu family is the main road.

"For Shangqing Mountain, this king is what they hate the most, they may not be thorough about other things, but they will not hide this matter, I am afraid that they will not let the Lin family do whatever it takes, first destroy this king, as long as there is no threat from this king, the world is so big, they can go anywhere, and they don't have to look at Lin's face anymore." Mo Bai shook his head.

The head of the Gu family thought about it, and had to admit that this was indeed the case, smiled bitterly, and did not say anything again.

The black white figure flashed, and he went straight to the outside of the palace.

After Concubine Lan, Qu Guochang took sick leave and came to the palace to listen to it.

This seems to be avoiding suspicion, but also a retreat under fear, Hu Qingyan and others understood his thoughts, but they didn't say much.

Mo Bai was halfway through and was about to leave the palace, but he suddenly stopped, and after his expression flickered slightly, he didn't leave the palace again, but turned around.

Zhang Bangli was sitting in the class room, and he didn't go to discuss the matter in the imperial study.

His Majesty didn't call him, and he wasn't in the mood to have that pointless meeting.

Just as he was contemplating the current situation and the future of the DPRK and China, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "I have seen Your Highness." ”

Zhang Bangli turned around and saw that the door had been pushed open, and the figure of King Ming was standing at the door.

Zhang Bangli was slightly stunned, then his face sank to the bottom, and after a little silence, he said to his subordinates outside the door: "You go out first!" ”

The subordinate closed the door, and after leaving, Zhang Bangli took a deep breath before bowing down to King Ming: "I've seen Your Highness!" ”

Mo Bai raised his hand: "No courtesy." ”

With that, sit down directly in the chair.

"I don't know Your Highness is here, but there is something important!" Zhang Bangli had a calm face and a hard tone.

Mo Bai raised his eyes and glanced at him: "I have something to ask you, when the first emperor was here, you have always been in charge of intelligence, and you should have a certain understanding of the situation in the palace of important ministers in Beijing." ”

Zhang Bangli didn't know what he meant by this, so he didn't answer.

"I want to know, do you know which sect of Daomen the sect is the sect master offered by Qu Guochang's mansion." Mo Bai didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Qu Guochang?" Zhang Bangli was obviously surprised, and after hearing the words and pondering for a while, his face suddenly changed slightly: "Your Highness is worried that he will leak secrets?" ”

Mo Bai nodded and did not speak.

Zhang Bangli said: "The grandmaster of the Qu State Mansion is not from the Daomen, his security is all taken care of by the internal guards of the national court, not only him, but our four auxiliary ministers, all around him are clean." ”

When Mo Bai heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed: "Are you sure?" ”

Zhang Bangli nodded, without the slightest hesitation, and said with great certainty: "The first emperor left us, how could it be possible to leave hidden dangers, it was only after strict investigation and elimination of all possible threats that we let the four of us assist the new monarch." If there are other forces lurking around us, we don't have to wait for today, when the news of the death of the first emperor is over, it is impossible to hold on. ”

Mo Bai was stunned, indeed, such a simple truth, how could he not expect it.

In fact, he was too guarded, and after Du Juan pointed out Qu Guochang, he naturally considered all the possible threats, but ignored the simplest situation.

But no matter what, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Farewell!" Mo Bai got up, he knew that Zhang Bangli had an opinion about him, Zhang Bangli's stubbornness, he knew it in his heart, and he had no intention of talking to him more at the moment.

"Wait!" Zhang Bangli took the initiative to speak.

Mo Bai turned around, Zhang Bangli glanced at him, and asked, "Your Highness wants to attack Qu Guochang?" ”

Mo Bai didn't answer, waiting for his next step.

Zhang Bangli was silent for a while, his face was cloudy, he looked up after thinking for a while, and said slowly: "Leave this matter to me, Qu Guochang must have a back hand, with His Royal Highness's ability, it will not be a problem to kill him, but if you want to dig out his back hand, I'm afraid it will not be so easy." I have more experience in this area. ”

Mo Bai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Leave it to you?" ”

Zhang Bangli nodded, but he didn't explain why he took the initiative to help King Ming.

Mo Bai's eyes flashed a few times, and then he was relieved, as if he thought of the reason why Zhang Bangli did this, and nodded: "Okay!" ”

"Help His Highness get rid of Qu Guochang, can you change His Highness's next condition?" Zhang Bangli asked.

Mo Bai's face was calm, and he said calmly: "If I give up the current situation, I can't do it." At this point, I can't go back. And Your Majesty's attitude towards the banner barbarians, I can't accept it, no matter what, there can be no problem with resisting the barbarians, so no matter what you think of me, I won't take half a step back. ”

The light in Zhang Bangli's eyes dimmed, and he didn't say anything more.

Mo Bai didn't say anything more, and was about to turn around and leave, but stopped again and asked: "I heard from the Daomen side that there are many secret sons of Shangqing Mountain in the capital, and many of the grandmasters who are supported and befriended by the powerful mansions are all from Shangqing Mountain, do you have any knowledge here?" ”

"Not only Shangqing Mountain, Yuqing Mountain, Taiqing Mountain, and the four major families are involved, especially after Shangqing Mountain betrayed the Daomen, many people in the Daomen did not follow, but broke away from the Shanmen and stayed in the mansions of some officials and even wealthy merchants. It is difficult to tell which of these people are really out of the Dao Gate and which are deliberately lurking. This matter is not easy to investigate, and the country and the dynasty have only partially grasped it now. Zhang Bang said.

"You will summarize the list of Shangqing Mountain and the first family left in the country, and I will ask the two mountains and four gates to do a screening investigation, and try to know as much as possible." Mo Bai Dao.

With this good thing, Zhang Bangli naturally will not have an opinion, these people are lurking in the capital, and they can not be moved for the time being, but it does not mean that there is no threat, the sooner you grasp it, you can control it as soon as possible.

Zhang Bangli didn't know if King Ming's move was in return for his promise to help get rid of Qu Guochang.

In fact, Zhang Bangli took the initiative to help, not to help King Ming.

Zhang Bangli knew very well that once Mo Bai killed Qu Guochang, Xinjun would definitely not be able to stand it, and there would be a big problem between the two, and according to the current situation, Xinjun would not be able to deal with King Ming, and in the end he could only be humiliated more and more under King Ming.

He took the initiative to take over the matter of getting rid of Qu Guochang, and let him do it, maybe he would be hated to the extreme by the new monarch, but he could make the new monarch not face the king of Ming.
