Martial law was still in the palace, and after the hundred officials left the Golden Palace, they gathered in six parts according to their part.

Several cabinet ministers went to various ministries to hold forums, saying that they were forums, but in fact, they were on the same main purpose, temporarily stabilizing and appeasing the hundred officials.

But after such a big change, where can the mood of the courtiers be appeased by saying something that does not hurt or itch?

Facing the emperor, the king of Ming, the queen mother, and the Taoist gate on the Golden Palace, the courtiers did not dare to be presumptuous, so they had to suppress their emotions and remain silent.

But this time out of the Golden Palace, when they arrived at the ministries, they couldn't bear it anymore.

Before the scene prepared by the cabinet ministers could be finished, the Qu officials, who had long been distraught, were the first to attack.

"My lord, as an auxiliary minister, even if he is really guilty, he should do it in accordance with the law, how can the dynasty convict and execute him without going through the trial of the three divisions?"

"Yes, if even the first auxiliary minister can be convicted and executed so hastily, then what is the use of national law?"

"Please also ask your Excellency to give an explanation to the people of the world on this matter, otherwise the law will not exist, and I am afraid that the country will not be ......"

In fact, Qu Guogong's death, the cabinet ministers have been kept in the dark, where can they give any explanation?

In the face of the excited Qu officials, the cabinet ministers suddenly complained in their hearts, but they could only appease: "Everyone be calm, don't be impatient, the dynasty will have an explanation about this matter!" ”

You don't have to think about it to know that this statement must be perfunctory.

The Qu department is making a lot of trouble here, and the men and horses of King De, who also died the backbone of the main body, can't sit still, they are even more bitter than the Qu officials.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that King De confessed and committed suicide to bear the black pot for His Majesty.

The officials under King De don't dare at all, and they can't cry out for King De, but they can't do nothing, just wait to be implicated by King De, right?

There was no way, they could only try their best to ensure that what King De did had nothing to do with them, and they didn't know about it at all.

They forced the ministers to give assurances that the dynasty would not be implicated in the affairs of King De.

How dare this cabinet minister be a guarantor?

But if you don't make a guarantee, they won't give up.

For a while, there was a mess in the various ministries, and the Qu family and the Dewang family were still only concerned about their own future, which had already made the ministers anxious.

When other civil and military courtiers asked questions about the dispute between His Majesty and King Ming today that they couldn't answer at all, the cabinet ministers couldn't bear it at all.

If this continues, it will inevitably lead to riots.

The ministers did not dare to let them get together again, so they immediately ordered the ministers to be separated and taken to various public houses for separate placement.

Fortunately, these people kept the bottom line after all, although they were noisy, they still listened to the arrangement after all.

But being resettled separately only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, but there were originally some topics that could not be talked about in public, but after being resettled separately, the ministers who knew each other began to whisper among themselves.

The ministers could not stop them from talking in private, so they could only arrange for people to keep a close eye on the movements in the public house and record the topics they were most concerned about.

It didn't take long for the situation in the various public houses to be summarized by the ministers.

"The mastermind against King Ming, is it King De or ......?"

"King Ming is really forced to fight back? Or are you already ready, just waiting for Your Majesty to make a move......"

"Why did the Southern Army uncharacteristically support His Majesty to deal with King Ming? Is it really Chu Ruocai's own assertions? Or ......"

"What's on that scroll? Why can you let the real person see it, the king of Germany can see it, and Chu Ruo can see it? ”

"Chu Ruocai was executed, how would the Southern Army react?"

"Hu Qingyan and Zhang Bangli openly supported King Ming, what is their intention, did they collude with King Ming earlier, or something else?"

"The two auxiliary ministers of Qu Guogong and King De died suddenly, will the forces under their command be greatly purged?"

"After this incident, what will be the ending of Your Majesty and King Ming?"

The elder only glanced at these questions, and without saying a word, he directly sent them to the imperial study.

……………………

……

On the Queen Mother's side, after having lunch with the Queen Mother, Lu Xunyi came to tell the situation in the various ministries, and handed the report sent by the cabinet ministers to the imperial study to Mo Bai.

After Mo Bai took it and looked at it, he said calmly: "Judging from the reactions of the courtiers, the situation is not bad, and there is basically no suspicion of King De, and most of them have already decided that King De is His Majesty's person." ”

"Yes, there are many people who suspect Hu Qingyan and Zhang Bangli, thinking that they have long colluded with us." Lu Xunyi said.

"It doesn't matter! There will be people who will suspect their intentions in helping us, but they will not think that they have fallen against us. Mo Bai was obviously not worried about this, and only said a word, and then turned to ask: "There is no response from the imperial study?" ”

"I don't know the situation, after Your Majesty returned to the imperial study, he passed on the imperial doctor, and then Hu Qingyan never came out after they went in." Lu Xunyi said.

"Hmm!" Mo Bai nodded: "Then wait a little longer!" ”

It was only three hours of waiting, and it was not until dinner time that there was finally movement in the imperial study.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is invited!" Qingyu Zhenren came to invite Mo Bai in person.

didn't say much, gave the queen mother a reassuring look, Mo Bai got up, and followed Qingyu to the imperial study.

The two of them were silent along the way, and finally Qingyu Zhenren spoke first, and his voice was light: "If Lao Dao is not mistaken, you did the agreement, and King De arranged it by you." ”

It's a question, but it's an affirmative tone.

Mo Bai didn't see the slightest panic on his face, and his voice was equally light: "If this king is not mistaken, Cangming was called back by you, and the arrangement of today's internal guards to besiege me was also arranged by you yourself." ”

Qingyu Zhenren's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his eyes to look at Mo Bai: "Lao Dao let the internal guard make a move, he will only take you down first, and will not directly hurt your life." ”

Mo Bai asked, "What's the difference?" After taking me, can you save my life in front of Lao Jiu? ”

"Yes!" Qingyu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Mo Bai's face did not change at all, and he said in a flat tone: "The first emperor left you a will!" ”

When the real person heard this, his eyes suddenly fluctuated, and he didn't make a sound, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Mo Bai shook his head: "Real person, do you really think that it has reached the point where it is now, and a mere will of the first emperor can make Lao Jiu give up killing me?" ”

The real person said without hesitation: "Even if it is Your Majesty, you can't disobey the will of the first emperor." ”

"If he doesn't obey, what can you do? Do you dare to abolish him, or is it against him? Mo Bai asked unceremoniously.

"This ......" the real person's pupils shrank.

Mo Bai looked away: "Don't talk about a mere will, even if the first emperor comes back to life, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop Lao Jiu from killing me." ”

Speaking of this, Mo Bai raised his footsteps, staggered past Qingyu, and his deep voice reached the ears of the real person with the wind: "Real person, with all due respect, although you are a free real person, in the power struggle, you have never been just a chess piece, and you can't be a chess player." Now, you either choose him or me, and then act as ordered, otherwise, any superfluous thoughts will only end up misleading others and yourself, and even misleading the country! ”

Qingyu watched Mo Bai's figure walk away, his eyes finally dimmed a little, and after a while, he raised his steps again and came behind Mo Bai: "If Your Majesty no longer opposes you......

Mo Bai didn't look back: "I just said, you can't be a chess player, and you will be tried to control the situation again." I can answer you clearly, Lao Jiu and I are no longer at odds. ”

"In this way, even if Your Majesty is no longer your enemy from now on, you will still take Your Majesty's life in the end!" The real person was silent for a moment, his voice heavy.

"Yes!" The ink white is extremely crisp.

The real person was silent.

The two of them went all the way to the imperial study.

Mo Bai stopped at the door and looked at Qingyu Zhenren: "If you choose Lao Jiu, then leaving me in the imperial study will be the last and best opportunity for you to get rid of me." Once I come out of the study, it will be difficult to get rid of me. ”

When the real person heard this, his face sank like water and said: "Kill you, after that agreement is exposed, Your Majesty will also lose his majesty, be spurned by the people of the world, and this dynasty will also collapse." ”

"You can kill me completely, and then let King De confess, everything is instructed by me, although the courtiers may not believe it, but no one should publicly question this confession, and plant this matter on me, it is easier to win the trust of the people of Limin, after all, I am Lin Huayao's son-in-law, and it is more logical for me to sell the interests of the dynasty to him." Mo Bai's voice said lightly.

The real person looked at Mo Bai and raised his eyebrows.

Mo Bai's expression was always flat: "It is impossible for Lao Jiu to give up this last game, and Cang Ming's personality is just the opposite of you, he is a person who admits death, Lao Jiu has given an order, he will carry it out, he agreed, and you can't oppose it." ”

"Do you suspect that we are going to ambush you in the Imperial Study?" The real person said in a deep voice.

"Isn't it?" Mo Bai turned his head to look at him, and his voice was still unwavering: "You first asked me along the way if I did the agreement, and then asked me if I would stay with Lao Jiu in the future, isn't it that I am still hesitant in my heart, wanting to determine from me whether the traitorous agreement really has nothing to do with Lao Jiu, and I also want to know if Lao Jiu and I can still coexist peacefully?" ”

The real person's face changed after all: "You already knew?" ”

Mo Bai's gaze moved away from his face, and his voice was soft: "It's not hard to guess. ”

"If you know everything, why do you want to come with me?" The real person's heart was already shaking, and a pair of eyes were fixed on the white face.

"I knew that Lao Jiu would definitely deal with me today, didn't he still enter the palace? Who wins and who loses, who lives and who dies, each depends on his ability. When you are plotting against me, how do you know if I am waiting for you to do it? Mo Bai said.

With that, Mo Bai raised his steps and wanted to go in.

"Wait!" The real person shouted in a deep voice.

Mo Bai turned his head and said humanely: "No matter what, Your Majesty is Your Majesty after all, there are still rules, Your Highness is waiting here first, and I will report first!" ”

After that, the real person flashed in.

Mo Bai stood at the door, staring at the imperial study in front of him, his eyes flashing slightly.
