From Mo Bai's standpoint, he also doesn't want Lao Jiu to be able to govern if he is too smooth.

If possible, he even hoped that Hu Qingyan could become an obstacle to Lao Jiu's rise to power.

It's not that he has the same thoughts as the warlords, but once Lao Jiu successfully takes power, the Ming Wangfu will definitely become the first object he can't tolerate.

At least before driving Qiman out of the country, Mo Bai didn't want to turn his face with Lao Jiu, so when he heard that Hu Qingyan had an accident, he immediately took action.

I didn't say it to the Queen Mother this time, not for other reasons, mainly because I was afraid that the Queen Mother would misunderstand that she had the heart to fight for power with Lao Jiu, and that the Queen Mother would intervene to help.

Mo Bai can have the power to protect himself, but the Queen Mother is in the palace, if she really annoys Lao Jiu because of her interference, it will be dangerous.

As for saving Hu Qingyan, will it be to save a minister of disaster?

Mo Bai is not worried about this, as he said, this is all in the future, and the final result depends on the ability of the chess player.

"The first emperor really has good intentions, and I hope that Lao Jiu can fight for strength and not let down the first emperor's hard work." The Queen Mother shook her head and looked at Mo Bai again, with some bitterness in her eyes.

She saw that her sister-in-law analyzed the situation of the dynasty and had insight into everyone's hearts, which can be described as both civil and military, and she felt more and more pity.

However, due to fate, he lived among the people in his early years, and there was less accumulation in Beijing, if it weren't for this, how could the throne fall to Lao Jiu today?

But then again, if he hadn't been living in the people for many years, how could he have the ability to do it today?

The Queen Mother's heart was complicated, except for a light sigh, she could only secretly feel sad.

It was useless to think too much, the Queen Mother retracted her thoughts and asked: "Then according to what you said, Hu Qingyan is useful to both the dynasty and the warlords, and they don't want Hu Qingyan to die for the time being, so who will do it?" Is it really that the flag can't do it? Have they infiltrated the palace? If it's really them, then people must be found out, otherwise everyone in the palace is afraid that everyone will be in danger. ”

Mo Bai is also very concerned about this matter, if he doesn't find out who is behind the scenes, he can't even rest assured about the safety of the Queen Mother.

"This matter will be taken to heart, and the queen mother does not need to worry too much, since this person used poisoning, it means that he does not dare to commit murder in the open. If there is an accident, you must take it in time, and then send someone to inform the son, if the son is not there, you can also find Ah Jiu to protect her mother for the time being. In the last few words, Mo Bai explained to the old palace maid.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old slave must be remembered!" The old palace maid replied solemnly.

Bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, Mo Bai returned to the mourning hall again.

met King De on the road, and Mo Bai had the heart to ask him about the specifics of Hu Qingyan's poisoning.

"This thing is very strange, and Hu Qingyan himself doesn't know how he was poisoned. He didn't leave the palace last night, he stayed in the palace all night, and before the poison, he didn't have much contact with people, except for Your Majesty, Zhang Bangli and me, and Qu Guochang. In addition, there are several other cabinet ministers, and there is no close contact with anyone else. King De's face was also very heavy, and he could see that Hu Qingyan's poisoning made him very worried.

If you can deal with Hu Qingyan, you can deal with him, such an unaware method, if you don't find this person, they may also be plotted unconsciously.

He asked the imperial doctor, if it weren't for the real person who hung Hu Qingyan's life, and Mo Bai was in the palace, he came in time, I am afraid that it would be a little later, and Hu Qingyan would be difficult to save.

"Hu Qingyan should have a grandmaster guard by his side, what do they say?" Mo Bai asked.

"Hu Qingyan is in the palace, and the internal guards are responsible for his safety, there are eight people in total, and the real person has personally asked these eight people, and they can all guarantee that during their duties, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to poison Hu Qingyan. The imperial doctor examined Hu Qingyan's body again, but found no wounds. King De shook his head.

"The poison of the red spider can also be dissolved in drinking water, and it can also be made into sandalwood, and it is not necessary to be exposed to it to be poisoned." Mo Bai reminded.

King De nodded, obviously having asked the imperial doctor, still shook his head and said: "We have also checked in this regard, in terms of food, Hu Qingyan was in the imperial study last night and this morning with us to accompany His Majesty's meals, from the imperial dining room to the imperial study, the meals have been checked layer by layer, and it is almost impossible to do anything on this." Moreover, if there is really a problem with the meal, then why only Hu Qingyan is attacked? Are we all okay? ”

Mo Bai narrowed his eyes and didn't speak again.

King De suddenly rubbed his hands, looked a little embarrassed to speak, and said to Mo Bai: "The medicine pill that His Royal Highness gave Hu Qingyan today, I don't know...... Is there still a surplus? ”

What does it mean?

Mo Bai was stunned when he heard this, and immediately felt the urge to clench his fists and say goodbye.

But after thinking about it, it didn't seem to be good to refuse in person, so he had an idea and said: "Uncle Wang doesn't know, this pill is extremely difficult to refine, and the only few grains are also used to save emergencies, so I went to see the Queen Mother, and I have given the remaining few grains to the Queen Mother for self-defense." ”

"Gone?" King De's face changed.

"It's gone." Mo Bai is sure.

"This king still has important matters, so he will take a step forward and leave!" King De arched his hand, raised his feet and left.

Mo Bai stared at his back for a while, and suddenly his figure flashed and disappeared in place.

In the middle palace, a black white figure emerged and appeared beside the Queen Mother.

When the Queen Mother saw him suddenly appear, she couldn't help but be stunned, Mo Bai had never entered unannounced, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here?" ”

Mo Bai took out a small gourd from his arms and handed it to the Queen Mother, and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, this gourd is the kind of detoxification pill I gave you last time, this pill is called Innocent Pill, which has a restraining effect on all kinds of poisons, there are still a few grains in this bottle, and the queen mother will put it away." ”

The Queen Mother subconsciously took it, but asked puzzledly: "What you gave to the palace last time, the palace has always been close to you, and you haven't taken it yet, you can put these away in case you need them." ”

Mo Bai smiled and said, "Queen Mother, I just met Uncle Dewang, he asked me for Dan, I don't want to give it to him, lest the one think that I am buying people's hearts, so he said that all the medicinal pills on his body have been left for the Queen Mother." ”

After saying that, the figure swayed slightly, and then disappeared, the queen mother looked left and right, and then said to the old palace maid: "This child, is it really ...... The next time he comes, you must tell him not to come and go like this again, there are no rules. ”

The old palace maid looked at the medicine gourd in the queen's hand and said, "Niangniang, Your Highness is not a person without rules, this is specially for Niangniang to live a better life in the palace, so she came and went in such a hurry." ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth curled slightly, of course she knew that Mo Bai deliberately left this opportunity to give her favors.

She won't refuse this, and she doesn't care about this opportunity to give favors.

The main reason is that Mo Bai said that if Mo Bai sends it, it will indeed make Xinjun feel jealous.

It's much better to turn around and send it out by yourself.

But in fact, the favor he sent out should not be on Mo Bai in the end, which is the most important thing.

After a while, sure enough, King De came.

After going around for a while, the Queen Mother finally couldn't help mentioning the pill.

The Queen Mother nodded to confirm that Mo Bai gave him the pill, but said, the number is not much, only a few pills.

Hearing that it was only a few grains, King De was embarrassed to say that he was asking for pills for himself, but only said that because of Hu Qingyan's poisoning now, he was particularly worried about His Majesty's safety.

But then he talked vaguely about it, not long ago, he and Qu Guochang thought that they had different opinions about King Ming, and even fought with him in the imperial study for this.

As he spoke, he pointed to the old wound on his face to prove that what he said was true.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately poured out two pills from the medicine gourd, divided them into two jade bottles, handed them to him, and ordered him to transfer one pill to His Majesty.

When King De saw it, he was immediately satisfied and thanked the Queen Mother.

After King De went back, he told the Queen Mother about giving the pill, Lao Jiu felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but in the end he accepted it and comforted himself, this is given by the Queen Mother, and even the emperor can't help it............

Qu Guochang stood aside and watched, his eyes glared at the boss, and finally he couldn't help but ask King De: "The Queen Mother gave one?" ”

King De glanced at him, ignored him at all, but bumped Zhang Bangli's arm, and whispered to him to go to the Queen Mother to ask for a grain, and said that this pill is precious, and even the King Ming has no more in his hands, only the Queen Mother has a few grains left in her hand, and it is too late, and it will be taken away by others.

Zhang Bangli hesitated, he was naturally worried that someone would move him, who would want to die if he could live?

But in the end, after looking at the new king, he still gave up, he is different from King De, although King De helped King Ming once, but King Ming and the clan do not agree, this is an open fact.

Therefore, for King De, Xinjun may be more relieved, and for him, Xinjun is very taboo for him to mix with King Ming.

Especially this time when the matter against Lu Xunyi was messed up, he also went to the Queen Mother to ask for Dan, for fear that it would make the new monarch more and more suspicious and dissatisfied with him.

On the side, Qu Guochang was depressed, and he didn't know what he thought, but he really had the face to run to the Queen Mother to ask for Dan......

The Queen Mother was embarrassed, but finally gave him one.

This man is smart, and after he came back, he gave the pill to Xinjun again, and Xinjun had one, so he was embarrassed to ask for him.

……

Mo Bai didn't care about these things, he returned to the mourning hall and continued to kneel with the princes and princesses to guard the spirit of Dingwu.

I don't know if it was due to the influence of Hu Qingyan's poisoning and the temporary inability to come forward to take charge, but in the end, the dynasty compromised with the hundred officials and decided to suspend the spirit for three days.

Mo Bai didn't know what was going on, but Mo Bai suspected that Hu Qingyan should have also taken into account that his poisoning might not have come from external forces, and he also suspected that it might have been done by his own people, so he deliberately picked on it and gave some people a warning to make him understand the price of lightly moving himself.

Stopping the spirit for three days is just a few days of kneeling for the princes, but for the dynasty, the impact is great.

It can be expected that in the past three days, the warlords and banner barbarian forces will definitely go all out to attack the new monarch, so that the new monarch will be exhausted.

There was no need to even expect it, it was only in the afternoon, and rumors suddenly spread in the capital.

For a time, there was all kinds of speculation about the cause of Dingwu's death, and some people said that Qu Guochang, a relative of the new monarch, had secretly contacted the old army and had the intention of plotting against him.

even pointed out which generals in Beijing Qu Guochang contacted, and as soon as this rumor came out, it was immediately criticized.

Some courtiers learned that they went directly to the table, and they did not dare to say that the new monarch was suspected of rebellion, but only said that Qu Guochang would be strictly investigated.

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.

The death of King Yong was also exposed, and some people said that this was the order of Zhang Bangli, the chief of the palace, who went to King Yong's Mansion in person to carry out the order.

Now it's okay, the suspicion of killing the monarch is erupting, and there is another crime of killing his brother, and the Yongwang family immediately exploded, as before, he didn't dare to attack Lao Jiu directly, but he bit him to death It was Zhang Bangli who faked the holy decree and murdered the Yongwang.

It had just begun, and the two royalists left by the first emperor for the new monarch were directly bombarded by heavy artillery.

Because Qu Guochang was "seriously ill and difficult to be a director", Lao Jiu could only be angry in the imperial study, but he couldn't organize effective measures to curb rumors.

can only take the most stupid means and use the Beijing camp to suppress rumors, but there are some things that the army can do, and some things, the army really can't.

Without a list, without a direction, do you arrest people aimlessly?

Fortunately, Zhang Bangli and the others were not vegetarians, so they chose the most direct method, directly forbidding the people to go out, and ordering them to keep filial piety for the emperor at home.

If you don't let people communicate, the rumors will naturally not be so fierce, but this trick is useful for the capital, and it is powerless for other regions.

For a while, officials from all over the country kept calling the capital to inquire about the situation, and even more so, they directly questioned the death of the first emperor and the death of King Yong in Beijing.

Lao Jiu finally fell into the situation he didn't want to face, and for a while he seemed to be in a situation where he was embattled, he was tired of dealing with all kinds of turmoil between the DPRK and China, and all his energy could only be used to deal with his own people, just to be able to suppress different voices, not to let opposition become a continuous trend, and to ensure that he could ascend the throne.

However, the warlord forces have already opened their bloody mouths, desperately encroaching on the foundation of the dynasty when Lao Jiu is tired of running for his life and is unable to take care of them at all.
