When the princess and her entourage entered the palace, they were not blocked like Mo Bai, and they were directly released.

However, after entering the palace, he did not go directly to the middle palace, but was first placed in a palace in the harem, saying that he could not go over until he was summoned by the queen.

After Ah Jiu waited for the soldiers to exit the hall, he suddenly squinted and looked outside the door, and summoned a Bamboo Leaf Sect Grandmaster who was accompanying him, and the two whispered a few secret words.

Seeing this, Lin Suyin waited for Ah Jiu to come over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ah Jiu didn't answer immediately, he groaned slightly, and said: "Your Highness entered the palace first, and now you should be in the Middle Palace, it stands to reason that after we come, we should be able to go directly to the Middle Palace." Placing us here now is a little wrong. ”

"Huh?" When Lin Suyin heard this, his complexion immediately changed, and his eyes immediately looked out of the door, and he didn't see the soldiers and horses sealing the door, so he couldn't see anything unusual, and turned his head to look at Ah Jiu, and asked in a low voice, "Are there any secret guards around?" ”

"Yes!" Ah Jiu nodded, and said: "But Niangniang doesn't need to worry, since we haven't been detained explicitly, it means that they don't dare to attack us easily, maybe someone is worried that His Highness can't suppress His Highness, and he is afraid that His Highness will be in turmoil, so he will arrange it like this to be a guard." ”

When Lin Suyin heard this, she was silent for a moment and asked, "Will something happen to Mo Bai?" ”

Ah Jiu shook his head: "Don't worry, Niangniang, it's still the same sentence, since they didn't detain us openly, it means that they still have scruples and don't dare to openly tear their faces with His Highness." Since this is the case, then Your Highness will be fine, we will return to Beijing this time, Your Highness has no other ideas at all, and some people are too careful. ”

Lin Suyin listened to his calm tone, didn't say anything more, turned around and sat down.

Ah Jiu gave Ling'er a look, asked her to take care of the princess, turned around and retreated and came to the door, looking in the direction of the middle palace in the distance, her eyes contemplative.

In this case, he was really not too afraid, but a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

He felt that it was really not Emperor Dingwu who was in charge of the palace now, otherwise, why did he need to use the means of controlling Niangniang to guard against His Highness?

……

The Imperial Study.

Zhang Bangli stood down, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Ming has been temporarily settled in Cuiping Palace. ”

"Hmm." The young man on the dragon chair bowed his head slightly, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Chief, has my father ever explained anything to the chief before?" ”

"Your Majesty is the King of Specifying?" Zhang Bangli raised his head and looked at the young man who was still wearing a python robe, and suddenly it was the former old nine, the king of Thailand.

"When I heard about my father, I always felt that King Ming had a heart of disobedience, or did things that harmed the country. Now that I have succeeded to the throne, I am very uneasy about this, and I don't know what to do. The King of Thailand has not officially succeeded to the throne, so he has not changed his name, and at this time, a trace of worry flashed on his still childish face.

Zhang Bangli's heart sank immediately when he heard this, His Majesty really couldn't tolerate King Ming.

In fact, when the King of Thailand ordered Princess Ming to be temporarily placed in Cuiping Palace, he felt something in his heart, worried that His Majesty would not be able to restrain himself, and had the intention of using Princess Ming's mother and son to force King Ming to rebel.

Therefore, he kept an eye on it, and as soon as the princess and others arrived at Cuiping Palace, he immediately dispersed the soldiers, in case any soldiers deliberately created an opportunity to conflict with the Ming Palace.

Zhang Bangli knew that this could never be the intention of the first emperor, when the first emperor was alive, he didn't dare to move the king of Ming easily, how could he let the unstable new monarch rashly move to the head of the king of Ming?

Zhang Bangli can understand His Majesty's jealousy of King Ming, but this time, he can't go along with it, otherwise he will be sorry for the emperor's request to orphan, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has never heard the emperor say that the king of Ming has the heart of not being subordinate, and the emperor only explained to his subordinates before his death, and he should warn the king of Ming to be loyal to the monarch and the country, and to obey the affairs of the ministers, so as to help His Majesty sweep away the enemies and internal traitors, and revive the Great Xia Dynasty." ”

"Is that so?" The King of Thailand, who was sitting at the top, stared at Zhang Bangli, raised his hand and touched his face that had been slapped by Mo Bai, and said softly: "I am a little puzzled, I remember that my father once cut his title because of King Ming's disobedience, why does it seem to be regarded as a minister who supports orphans now?" ”

"The first emperor did strip the title of King Ming, because he didn't like King Ming's impulsiveness and irritability, so he punished him. But later, the king of Ming was convinced of the Taoist gate and solved the hidden worries of the dynasty for hundreds of years, and His Majesty recited his exploits and restored the king of Ming. Zhang Bangli knew that His Majesty was already unhappy, but he still bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, King Ming is not only the prince of the dynasty, but also the great dignity of the Daomen, and his identity is extraordinary. On the occasion of the death of the first emperor and the instability of the court, His Majesty must distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and must not fall for the villain's plan to sow discord. ”

When the King of Thailand heard this, his eyes staring at Zhang Bangli suddenly sank, and after a while, he calmed down, and said with a sincere face: "The chief reminds me that I am not familiar with state affairs when I first succeeded to the throne, but fortunately the chief minister is by his side, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”

"As a minister, he should be a loyal monarch, how dare an old minister be so praised by His Majesty?" When Zhang Bangli heard this, he knelt down directly and kowtowed three times.

The King of Thailand looked at his eyes, and then eased up a little, and at this moment, he saw a real figure coming from outside the door, and the King of Thailand immediately looked at it.

Seeing that the real person bowed his head lightly to him, the king of Thailand's heart suddenly relaxed, and then looked at Zhang Bangli and said: "Since my father has a testament to King Ming, and now that King Ming has returned, the chief will go to announce it quickly!" ”

"The old minister retires!" Zhang Bangli raised his head and saw that the real person was coming, and knew that the two of them might have something to say, so he got up and retired.

The real person watched him get up from the ground and go out, his eyes flashed, he looked at the King of Thailand, and said a rare word: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is the orphan minister of the former emperor, and he is even trusted by the former emperor, and he is the most reassuring one among the orphaned ministers left by the former emperor for His Majesty." ”

When the King of Thailand heard this, his expression paused slightly, and then he nodded and said sincerely: "I also regard Chief Zhang as a minister of the humerus, and I will rely on him more!" ”

But after only one sentence, the king of Thailand changed the subject: "Real person, I just heard that the king had done it with you, and I was very uneasy in my heart, and the real person is okay." ”

The real person only said a word, and he couldn't bear to be loyal to Zhang Bangli I and end miserably, so he made an exception and said a few more words, and he would never dwell on this topic again.

Facing the eyes of the King of Thailand, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty Lao cares, the old way has the grace of the emperor, and he can continue to live for several years. ”

"The real person has a deep meaning, I naturally know it, the real person is one level further, presumably King Ming is definitely not a real opponent." The king of Thailand believed this, and when he heard that the real person had made another breakthrough, he was really happy, and felt that the real person must be warning the king not to mess around in this way.

When the real person heard this, he only said: "King Ming can defeat Mei Qingfeng, the old way is a fluke, how dare you say victory?" ”

King Tai's eyes lit up: "King Ming is really so high?" The real person has made a breakthrough, but he still can't win the Ming King? ”

"There are several real people in the world, if they don't really fight to the death, no one knows the outcome. Only King Ming's strength has really been beaten, and it is precisely because of this that he can deter Yuqing and Taiqing. The real person raised his eyes, looked at the king of Thailand, and said: "But although the old man doesn't dare to say that he is the king of Shengming, he is not afraid." ”

When the King of Thailand heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he understood the meaning of the real words, although he may not be able to defeat the King of Ming, but there is no problem in keeping himself safe.

"The real person has seen King Ming this time, I don't know what the situation is?" If the King of Thailand really wants to deal with King Ming, he doesn't expect to rely on real people alone, real people to protect his side, and he can keep himself safe, so he let go of his brows and asked instead.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Lao Dao has already informed the former emperor of the matter, and I haven't seen anything wrong with King Ming." The real person said directly.

"How did he react to the matter of my succession?" The King narrowed his eyes and stared at the real person.

I saw the real person nodding indifferently: "King Ming asked if it was the emperor's decree, and the old man replied, yes." He nodded, indicating that the palace and the Daomen would follow the will of the emperor. ”

"That's it?" The King of Thailand's narrowed eyes instantly widened, and he couldn't hide his surprise.

"That's all." Truly humane.

The King of Thailand couldn't help but stand up, took a few steps back and forth, his steps became more and more brisk, and suddenly, he paused and asked softly: "Does he know that Princess Ming has entered the palace?" ”

"Lao Dao still doesn't know that Princess Ming has entered the palace, and presumably King Ming doesn't know either." The real person whispered, then sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and said nothing.

………………

……

Zhang Bang stood out of the imperial study, and there was a bit of bitterness between his eyebrows.

It is said that once a son of heaven and a courtier, Zhang Bangli has been in the palace all his life, how can he not know this truth.

The so-called minister who entrusts the lonely is the beginning of the prosperity of power, but why not the beginning of loneliness?

It's not that he doesn't love power, but he can't let go of the entrustment of the first emperor, and he can't let go of the rise and fall of this dynasty, however, before the new monarch succeeds to the throne, he makes the new monarch dislike...

Exhaled a long breath and walked briskly to the Middle Palace.

When he came to the gate of the middle palace, he saw that the guards had withdrawn, and he was full of sorrow, how could he not know the process of King Ming's previous hard break and even hands.

The new monarch is so jealous, but the king of Ming is so strong, how can this not cause trouble?

An attendant went in to report, waited at the door for a while, and then came to the humane, and King Ming invited him in.

failed to enter the dormitory, but waited in the main hall for a while, only to hear the sound of footsteps, Zhang Bangli immediately looked over, and saw the black white figure coming.

"I've seen King Ming!" Zhang Bangli gave up.

Mo Bai's face was gloomy, he only nodded, and asked directly, "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”

Zhang Bangli stood up straight and said in a deep voice: "The first emperor said! ”

Hearing this, Mo Bai was silent for a moment and fell to his knees.

Seeing this, Zhang Bangli's eyes moved slightly, and then he spoke: "You were born in the people since you were a child, although I have not fulfilled the grace of nurturing, but you will eventually be the heir of the Great Xia royal family, and you should focus on the rise and fall of the country. Although I am gone, the dynasty is still there, and the new monarch is still there, so you should be careful to obey the ministers, fulfill the responsibilities of the prince, and be sure to assist the new monarch, set the outline of the dynasty, calm the chaos of the country, and reproduce the prosperity of Great Xia. If you don't comply, but there is a mistake in your deeds, I have left a will, and the whole country will be punished! ”

"Sons obey the holy will!" Mo Bai clasped his hands into fists and kowtowed.

"Your Highness, please get up!" Zhang Bangli waited for him to accept the order and spoke.

Mo Bai got up, glanced at Zhang Bangli, and said in a deep voice: "What does the palace plan to do for His Majesty's return to the mausoleum?" ”
