Chapter 451 The Secret That Can't Be Said
Your Highness and Your Excellency!
However, the difference between one word is just a respectful title for ordinary people.
But for Taoist people today, the meanings of these two names are very different and cannot be compared.
When Mo Bai entered the hall before, the people from all walks of life said to Mo Bai as they saluted, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince!"
If you don't go into it in depth, there will naturally be no problem.
But now is the sensitive time when Mo Bai wants to unify the Taoist sect, and this title may not be consistent with Mo Bai's meaning.
"Your Highness of the Prince" is ultimately an identity outside the Taoist sect, representing the alienation of Taoist sects to Mo Bai and even the resistance expressed by him to unify the Taoist sect.
But "Hisser Mingwang" is different, which means that the Taoist sect actively recognizes Mo Bai's position as the leader.
These people from the two mountains and four sects eventually chose "Your Highness of the Prince" instead of "Your Excellency of the Ming King", which actually also demonstrated the will of the giants of the Taoist sect.
Although it is just a title, it is very subtle.
But Mo Bai knew that it was not because he was thinking too much, it was indeed the giants who were expressing their unique influence in the Taoist sect.
They were telling Mo Bai that if they did not agree to cast Mo Bai, there would be no second voice in the entire Taoist sect.
Mo Bai now wants to see if these giants can really capture the sky with just one hand in the Taoist sect, and whether these people dare not recognize his position as the leader of the Taoist sect.
To be precise, in front of the world's forces, Mo Bai wanted to silently confront the several Taoist giants by using the name.
That's why Mo Bai's Taoist tribute was given again. He wanted to see that the people of this sect have a great influence and can make these people go against him wholeheartedly and continue to pretend to be stupid and call him "The Prince".
He still bowed his head and admitted the fact that he was "His Excellency Ming Wang".
This confrontation undoubtedly has a great impact on whether Mo Bai can successfully conquer the Taoist sect.
Sure enough, as Mo Bai expected, these Taoist sects clearly knew the difference between the two titles.
After Mo Bai gave a gift, they were obviously unstable and did not return the gift immediately. They kept looking at each other secretly, obviously unstable and could not react for a long time.
...
What's going on?
The Taoist people actually ignored Mo Bai's reverence and refused to return the favor?
This strange scene appeared, and the others in the hall quickly widened their eyes and noticed something was wrong.
People who are quick-minded, such as Zhang Bangli, quickly thought of the key, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.
At the same time, everyone's eyes were not fixed on Mo Bai's straight body, and they couldn't help but sigh that Mo Bai was really overbearing. These Taoists were all direct forces under the Fourth Sect of Ershan.
Mo Bai was so arrogant that he was right in front of the world's forces, and he wanted to compete with the giants of the Taoist sect with whom had a greater influence.
This courage is really incredible. You must know that once these people withstand the pressure and still pretend to be stupid and regard him as the prince, there is no doubt that it proves that the giants of the Taoist sect do have an unparalleled influence in the Taoist sect. No matter how strong Mo Bai is, he cannot shake this point.
In this way, the struggle between Mo Bai and those giants will increase and decrease.
This is undoubtedly a way to destroy one's own prestige and develop the ambition of others.
However, is this true?
If you are not the person involved, you will not be able to understand the fact that you have to force Mo Bai’s pressure. How terrifying it is to force Mo Bai’s pressure.
In this way, these Taoist people knew that as long as they bowed and called "Your Highness the Prince", they could help their pride to rise.
But, do they dare?
Mo Bai said nothing or urged him, and stood in front of them and waited quietly for their choice.
But the old masters of the Four Sects of Ershan were inadvertently seeing sweat beads on their foreheads. At the beginning, the few people at the forefront were full of thoughts, and their minds kept changing in their minds. The Southern Army, Warlords, and Royal Prince...
That’s right, just now, they saw with their own eyes the powerful scene of Mo Bai standing in the east and west, fighting north and south. Which of these sides is easy to mess with?
But Mo Bai has never had any scruples?
What's more, it's not that the Taoist sect doesn't know. This Ming King is okay to others, but he has never been ruthless to the Taoist sect. Once he takes action, he will definitely be a life-and-death...
In the tense atmosphere, the few people looked at each other again, and they all saw helplessness and slackness in each other's eyes!
"It's such an extraordinary number from the sky!" Several people sighed silently in their hearts, and finally the person on the left took the lead, clasped their fists and shouted loudly: "The descendants of Yuqing Mountain are learning Qu Siyuan!"
His voice fell, and he followed closely, and another person stepped out and stood with him: "Taiqing, Hu Feiye!"
"Gu family, Gu Qingchi!"
"Lian Fang!"
After the six people came out in one after another, they bowed to the ground with everyone behind them and sang in unison: "I have seen the King of Ming!"
After worshiping, the palace was silent.
Everyone looked at this scene, their hearts were complicated.
The Ming King once again...wins!
Zhang Bangli raised his head and looked at Mo Bai. He saw Mo Bai's face calm and he slowly raised his hand. His voice was Wubo: "You don't need to be polite to all your fellow practitioners! Please get up!"
"Thank you, your lord!" The Taoists stood up and bowed again.
Mo Bai turned around and looked around the audience for a week, and finally looked at Zhang Bangli: "Let's go!"
"Yes!" Zhang Bangli bowed: "Please please here!"
The two left.
The people behind him looked at each other with complicated eyes. It was not until a long time after he left that the voices gradually returned to the hall.
The warlord system, the power system of the state and the dynasty, and the Taoist system are all gathered together, and they are in different moods!
...
On the way to see Dingwu, Zhang Bangli hesitated for a long time, but finally stopped. He clasped his fists and bowed to Mo Bai: "Zhang Bangli thanks Your Highness for helping to rescue him!"
Mo Bai stopped and looked up at him: "What are you going to get rid of?"
Zhang Bangli looked dark and said, "If His Highness had not come forward before, I would probably have to let Chu Ruo humiliate him today..."
When Mo Bai heard this, he suddenly fell silent and his face became extremely ugly.
Zhang Bangli raised his eyes and saw Mo Bai suddenly getting angry. He thought Mo Bai was angry at his expression at that time. He felt more ashamed in his heart and said bitterly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I should be responsible for this matter. I will apologize to Your Majesty later!"
"You said before, is this arrangement of His Majesty today?" As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Bai suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Zhang Bangli nodded and said in a deep voice: "After all, Lin is a minister who rebels from the country. If he is allowed to show off his might in full view of the public, what is the face of our country's dynasty..."
"The official of the ritual once said that Lin had a daughter and did two marriages, but he did not know ethics and was a big disgrace..." Mo Bai said word by word: "You have agreed on this in advance?"
Zhang Bangli's expression suddenly changed. He immediately knew why Mo Bai was angry. He quickly explained: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand. Your Majesty just wanted to humiliate Lin. The minister promised Xiang's head. The official's words were not our instructions. I have no idea in advance!"
"Is that true?" Mo Bai looked expressionless, raised his head and stared at the palace and said, "Whether you know it or not, this is only once!"
"Yes! I will remember that in the future, no one will be allowed to be humiliated by the prince's concubine!" Zhang Bangli promised immediately.
"Although I no longer have a royal title, I am still in the royal family and a member of the royal family. The ritual official insults my wife, and he should be punished!" Mo Bai had a calm face.
"Your Highness, I have no right to make the decision on this matter, so I should report it to Your Majesty..." However, Zhang Bangli looked embarrassed. When he said this, he glanced at Mo Bai's face and said carefully: "Your Highness, it is probably inappropriate to deal with the ritual officer at this time. It may make some people mistakenly believe that the ritual officer is weak, and the ritual officer is working for the ritual officer after all. If he dealt with it at this time, it may make the ministers distrust."
Mo Bai stared at Zhang Bangli for a while without saying a word.
"Your Highness, this..." Zhang Bangli felt in his heart.
Mo Bai finally spoke: "Did you really treat me as a sucker and really treat me as a fool? When did I, Mo Bai, even my wife was bullied, compromise?"
"I must not be disrespectful to Your Highness. I just asked Your Highness to consider the current situation of the country. I will be reluctant to be angry, and I will definitely not be disrespectful to Your Highness..." Zhang Bangli's expression changed and he hurriedly said.
"Don't dare?" Mo Bai lowered his eyes and looked at him: "Don't you really dare?"
Speaking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Mo Bai's mouth: "I've killed Mei Qingfeng to the death, and it can be considered a big problem for the country. But next, you didn't say hello, and then you started a tacit understanding with the major forces and divided my results. Did you see me not speak out from beginning to end, so you thought I was really easy to bully?"
"No, Your Highness must not misunderstand that this matter was not done by the state court, but by the Lin family..." Zhang Bangli wanted to explain.
"Do you want me to tell you their names one by one in the garrison camp of the state dynasty?" Mo Bai's expression was cold, and the evil spirit flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Bangli opened his mouth and did not dare to deny it in the end. Even if they were not the ones who took action first, in fact, as Mo Bai said, they not only did not help Mo Bai stop it, but also took action strongly. Apart from Lin, they robbed the most.
"That's fine, I don't care anyway, but now I want to unify the Taoist sect. I heard that someone wants to interfere in it..." Mo Bai's expression became even colder.
"Your Highness!" This time, Zhang Bangli looked serious and blurted out: "Your Highness must not listen to slander. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the dynasty. Think about it, if the Taoist sect can be unified by your dynasty, it will be a great good news for the dynasty. From then on, the Taoist sect that has caused many years of harm will end. The dynasty will only help Your Highness, so how can it interfere?"
"Is that?" Mo Bai's expression was not moved at all. He looked directly at Zhang Bangli, his eyes deep like the starry sky: "I heard a voice in the dynasty recently, which shows that the king has always disrespected the dynasty, despised the monarch, and had no closeness to the royal family. In addition, the Ming King also maintained private soldiers, and the ministers in the palace only knew the dynasty, but did not know the monarch! This person's thoughts were strange, and he had to be guarded against. If the Taoist sect fell into the hands of the Ming King, it would be very likely that even the dynasty would not be able to interfere in the future.
The three mountains and four gates of the Taoist sect have been chaotic for many years. If they are truly unified under the tent of the Ming King, the dangers of the Taoist sect will be gone. The dangers of the Ming King may immediately erupt, and the dangers of the Dao Sect will definitely be a hundred times better than the dangers of the Dao Sect! Rather than this, it is better to maintain the current situation temporarily. The two mountains and four gates suddenly lose their arms and it is no longer possible to make trouble like the past. Moreover, the Ming King's goal is not achieved, and the national dynasty can use the pressure from the Ming King to give the Dao Sect to operate from it, and it may not be impossible to conquer the Taoist sect in the bag!"
As Mo Bai's voice slowly came, Zhang Bangli's figure suddenly trembled like a sieve, his face was full of horror, and his mouth was shaking unsound: "Jue, nothing happened..."
Mo Bai turned around, and his voice became lighter: "It doesn't mean anything to me. Since I have entered the world and killed people, I have been enemies of the world so far, so why didn't I be prepared to have a good end? But no matter how I plan to do it, as long as I am not dead, don't touch my reverse scale.
