Chapter 500: Voluntary Abdication
Mo Bai sat down again, and suddenly smiled: "You are right, we can't split the two mountains, and we can't split the four gates, they know very well the importance of holding together, since this is the case, can we directly choose the two mountains or the four gates?" ”
Lu Xunyi blurted out this question: "This is even more impossible, let's not talk about whether we can win one side." Let's just say that the grievances and entanglements between Ershan and Simen are too deep, if we really succeed in winning over either party, I am afraid that the other party will be forced to jump over the wall in a hurry and withdraw directly from the Daomen. ”
"You're right!" Mo Bai nodded affirmatively, but his expression relaxed and said: "So what we have to do is to prevent this from happening, in this way, the role of this Evergreen Pill will be brought into play, an Evergreen Pill not only gives them hope to go to the next level, but also allows them to form a strong bond with the warlords, which is equivalent to helping them find a reason to stay in the Daomen, and at the same time cut off a back road that can be evacuated at any time." ”
Lu Xunyi was slightly stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Mo Bai ignored him and continued: "You are worried, this Evergreen Pill has been obtained by the real people of Ershan, and they have fulfilled their wishes, even if they stay in the Dao Gate in the future, they will still be disobedient to me." This makes sense, so let's leave the two of them alone for the time being. Looking at it in another direction, the Venerable of the Four Great Families, I'm afraid they will think differently......"
Speaking of this, Lu Xunyi suddenly realized, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Real people, they have tasted the real sweetness, but instead of being satisfied, they will look forward to the day of real people even more!" ”
"That's right, these four Venerables have been with the Three Mountains for many years, and the Freedom Realm has become a knot in the hearts of their family for many generations. I hope to get stronger and stronger, you say, with this real benefit, will their resistance to us weaken, is it possible for us to take them down first? Although Mo Bai is a question, the meaning is self-evident.
Lu Xunyi still didn't understand, His Highness had already chosen the four gates as the breakthrough.
Speaking of this, Mo Bai suddenly smiled and said, "Besides, those two real people, can they just sit back and watch the four Venerables rise step by step and be indifferent?" You know, the reason why they are so prominent today is because they are real people, and there are only a handful of real people in the country. Can they not worry about how their status will change drastically if the Four Venerables succeed in getting away with it? If you were them, what would you do in this situation? ”
The corners of Lu Xunyi's eyes jumped, and he took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid that not only will I not leave the Dao Gate, but I will do my best to suppress the Four Venerables." And to do this, it is necessary to rely on the side of His Highness. ”
"So, this Evergreen Pill must be given to them, even if there is no reason for them to make a move this time, I will try my best to take the initiative to give it to them, because this Evergreen Pill can completely detonate the desire in the hearts of the Four Venerables. Hope, can also be like a lever, the two mountains and the four gates are currently in a dilemma with the king of the situation to pry, the iron plate of the door, even if only the two mountains and four gates are left, we can not shake, only chaos, we can intervene in. Mo Bai nodded slightly, his voice light.
Seeing the overall situation so clearly, Lu Xunyi couldn't help but have a swipe on his face, at this time, when he talked about the Evergreen Pill, he only felt that his old face was red, where could he not give it, and he would give it if he tried his best.
Lu Xunyi took a deep breath and didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly, he raised his head again and looked at Mo Bai: "Since His Royal Highness has already had an idea, or start from the top, then now that the cuckoo has entered the Daomen, is it just a delaying tactic?" Let them think that His Highness's strategy is to elevate them from the bottom up? ”
This time it was Mo Bai's turn to be stunned, and then a strange smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head slightly: "What do you think?" ”
"Subordinate...... Misunderstood? When Lu Xunyi heard this, he couldn't help but be worried.
"No, that's right!" Mo Bai suddenly became more and more weird, and Lu Xunyi was flustered, not knowing if he had said something stupid again, but he heard Mo Bai say: "Don't say it, it really has the effect of delaying the army." ”
"Your Highness!" Lu Xunyi was stunned.
"Ahem! I really didn't think about it that way before, but now it seems that this hand is not bad. If they can really think so, then the cuckoo's trip is more and more important. Mo Bai waved his hand and said casually, before he straightened up and said: "However, you can't think so, my purpose is the opposite, the cuckoo's side is the focus of whether the Dao Sect can really control it." Starting from the top, it's just helpless, the Daomen has been operating in their hands for too long, we can't do them for the time being, we can only rely on their hands to rule the bottom, but this is not a long-term solution. ”
"In the final analysis, we still have a relationship of mutual use with them, even if the four families join us for their vital interests, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not suddenly turn back under certain circumstances, for example, in a dangerous situation in wartime, when they have to play, they are cowardly and delay the military aircraft, at that time, what should we do? I can't turn my face, and I can't tolerate it. We can't accept this situation. Therefore, to win them over is actually to serve the cuckoo, and to take the opportunity to win them over, let the cuckoo encroach on their power, and really do not put all hope on them. ”
Lu Xunyi's forehead was beading with sweat rolling when he listened, such a clear situation was placed in front of him, and in the end, he was still unable to understand the priority, which made him feel a little depressed in his heart, was he really stupid to this point?
But when he looked up at Mo Bai again, his eyes were full of admiration, I have to say that once upon a time, he controlled the Ming Palace, on behalf of the Ming Palace, dancing the world, this former reckless hero, also inevitably rose a little arrogant, and had the confidence to talk with the world's heroes.
But after Mo Bai's last beating and today's conversation, his arrogance was long gone, and suddenly, he realized that he was so far away.
"Your Highness, your subordinates have failed to live up to Your Highness's trust, and are willing to make way for the cuckoo!" Suddenly, Lu Xunyi took a deep breath, bowed, and said in a low voice.
Mo Bai's face stiffened, and he slowly looked up at Lu Xunyi: "Are you picking a pick?" ”
"Subordinate......" Lu Xunyi's voice became deeper and lower, he saw clearly that for a long time, the Ming Wangfu would be dominated by the Daomen, and His Royal Highness gave the errand of unifying the Daomen to Du Juan, if Du Juan succeeded in helping His Royal Highness control the Daomen in the future, then there is no doubt that the most authoritative person in the Ming Wangfu is no longer Lu Xunyi, but the Du Juan who holds the Daomen.
Rather than waiting for him to bring humiliation on himself, it is better to abdicate himself, which can be regarded as saving some face.
"That's it!" Mo Bai raised his hand, and his voice became cold: "Are you forcing this king to explain to you, why did you let the cuckoo go and not let you go?" ”
"That's not what my subordinates meant?" Lu Xunyi's face turned bitter.
"Whether you think so or not, forget it this time, but never allow a next time." Mo Bai's face sank, and he said slowly: "The reason why I handed this matter to Du Juan was because I thought about it carefully. First of all, there is the issue of ability, but the reason why he is allowed to go, not let you go, is not because your ability is weaker than her. ”
Lu Xunyi wanted to open his mouth to deny that he didn't want Mo Bai to explain, but after listening to Mo Bai, he closed his mouth again.
In fact, where can there be no estrangement in his heart, Du Juan is an outsider after all, he has followed King Ming for so many years, but as a result, in the most important thing, he got Du Juan a woman and let him stay at home.
He didn't say that he had a grudge in his heart, but he really couldn't figure it out.
Mo Bai seems to be stern, but at this moment, his heart is also very sensitive, he knows that if this problem is not explained well, it will be a big blow to Lu Xunyi, and it is not a good thing for the entire Ming Palace.
Fortunately, he had actually thought about this issue for a long time, but he didn't find the opportunity to talk to Lu Xunyi.
It happened that Lu Xunyi took the initiative to mention it today, and he took the opportunity to say: "You and Du Juan, in fact, have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of management. This is due to objective reasons, you have been in control of the Ming Palace, and in the face of various complex battle situations, your ability and experience are extremely good. It can be said that no matter when and where, no matter how big the situation is, even in the inner courtyard of the palace, in front of the heroes of the world, you can also not weaken your aura in my absence, act decisively and simply, and make the most suitable decision for the Ming Wangfu at the first time. ”
After listening to this paragraph, Lu Xunyi's heart suddenly warmed, for a long time, he could always feel that King Ming seemed to be a little dissatisfied with him, or rather, no matter what he did, he would never reach King Ming's wishes.
Although King Ming didn't say it, he could feel it.
Sometimes I think about it, I worked hard, I was scarred several times, and I tried my best, but I couldn't get affirmation, and I really panicked.
And this time, King Ming's affirmation was so crisp that his eyes couldn't help but heat up.
This evaluation is not high, and it can be said that his ability to take charge of himself is almost completely certain.
"As for the cuckoo, compared to you in this regard, there are obvious shortcomings. First of all, due to the lack of opportunities to contact with heroes from all sides, she fell first in momentum. Then when it comes to dealing with complex things, it's far less capable than you. The reason why she is inferior to you in this regard is mainly because the two of you are at different levels, although the Ming Wangfu is not strong, but at the beginning our belief is based on the world, even if we live in a corner, we are psychologically prepared to deal with the chaos in the world. No matter how terrible the situation is, no matter how powerful the enemy, we have no fear in the slightest, and dare to stand up and fight with them. Mo Bai's voice was steady.
Lu Xunyi nodded involuntarily, he couldn't help but admit that Mo Bai's evaluation was indeed the reason.
No matter who he faced, he was never afraid, because he was a member of the Ming Palace, and the Ming King was not afraid of the world, so why was he afraid of the Ming King standing behind him?
"Du Juan was born in the Youth Society, in the pearl, she is naturally majestic, but she is not enough after all, even if she is extremely strong in Mingzhu, but in fact, she is still only relying on the identity of a disciple of Huang Tingfu, she always remembers that it is because Huang Tingfu stands behind her, with the help of the power of Huang Tingfu, she can sit on the leading position. There were clear hierarchical boundaries in her mind, and she placed herself as a small disciple of the Daomen. If you let her suddenly face the entire Daomen, even the dynasty and several warlords, she must be lacking in confidence. ”
Speaking of this, Mo Bai's eyes paused slightly, and her voice was obviously heavier: "But although due to the environment, she is not as good as you in these aspects." But also because of the environment, she has something difficult for you. The Ming Wangfu was built by us one hand and one foot, and the interior was relatively simple, so the Ming Wangfu cultivated your courage to deal with various difficulties, but it also lacked the ability to deal with personnel difficulties. Du Juan is just the opposite, she is a woman, she controls a huge youth club, and the best thing is to deal with all kinds of complex interpersonal relationships, in this regard, don't say that you can't compare to her, even if it's me, I'm afraid it's hard to shoot. ”
Lu Xunyi's expression changed slightly, and he raised his head to look at Mo Bai, with a sudden look in his eyes.
"Yes, in the final analysis, what needs to be solved in this Daomen matter is people, whether it is to win over or split, in the end, the tricks played are all on the human tracks. The cuckoo's lack of momentum and self-confidence can barely be made up for with our Ming Wangfu behind her. But if you are replaced, what will I use to make up for this ability to manipulate complex human relationships? So in the end, I think about it, or she is more suitable, and there is also another consideration, after all, you have a reputation, in order to gain a foothold in the Ming Palace, you have always shown people to be domineering and iron-blooded, which will undoubtedly make you unable to let the people in the Daomen let down their guards, I am afraid that it is more respectful and away. Du Juan is different, she was originally a disciple of Huang Tingfu, and her status is not high, which will make the people in the Daomen guard against him a lot, as long as she is willing to bow her head and salute many elders, she can't say that she can still make those people smile, it is easier for her to blend in, and with her wrist, the probability of wanting to succeed will undoubtedly be much higher. ”
After Mo Bai said this, he finally sighed deeply: "Now do you understand, why is it her and not you? ”
"Bang!" Lu Xunyi kowtowed on his knees, very simply and directly: "My subordinates are sorry for His Highness's cultivation!" ”
"You have been with this king all the way, how many times have you been in the same boat through thick and thin, and your life has been shared, these kings will not forget. How can you not have great expectations after cultivating you for many years? I hope you remember, even if one day, I really don't need you, I won't play any tricks to force you to take the initiative to abdicate, I will only directly explain to you, it's just business, but the feelings are surging, understand? Mo Bai said in a deep voice.
Lu Xunyi got up slowly, looked at Mo Bai, and finally took a deep breath: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, your subordinates understand!" ”
"Okay, it's not easy for us to get to where we are today, don't have a next time!" Mo Bai waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go prepare the medicinal materials and open the furnace tomorrow." ”
