Mo Bai was not sure what the queen was thinking, so he pondered for a while and replied: "Since the father has been entrusted to the position of the old ninth emperor, the son minister will naturally follow the order."

When the queen heard this, her eyes fluctuated and she asked again: "Take it serious?"

"In front of my mother, my son will naturally not dare to deceive me." Mo Bai nodded and said solemnly.

The queen stared at him for a while, but didn't know if she believed it, but after silence, she slowly whispered: "Have you never thought that even if you don't fight, Lao Jiu would still be afraid of you in the future and even tolerate you."

Mo Bai heard the sound and nodded, "The queen of the mother does not have to worry. No matter who the new king belongs, the son is indeed unintentional to interfere. But as the queen of the mother said, the son must not ignore the future. The son can accept the new king ascendant, but it is impossible to be unreserved. In the future, it is best if both parties can be at peace with each other."

When the queen heard this, she suddenly raised her eyes and stared at Mo Bai: "Where can the king, the ministers and the ministers come from? Don't you know that for the new king, your so-called peace and stability are already a great rebellion. Who is the king and can tolerate a minister who is not a minister?"

Mo Bai looked at her, her eyes did not retreat, but her tone became lighter: "There is no way. In the current situation, my son can only do this at most. If there is no solution and he will only turn against him in the end, the son may not be afraid."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was no sound between the mother and son for a long time. After a long time, the queen sighed: "Since sooner or later, it is better to break it early than to break it."

"The Queen Mother said..." The Queen shocked Mo Bai. Could it be that the Queen really wants to fight for her?

To be honest, Mo Bai had never thought before, after all, the queen was heartbroken for Emperor Dingwu, and her relationship was definitely not a false one. Will she betray Emperor Dingwu's last order?

The queen had already lowered her eyes. Mo Bai couldn't see her expression clearly, but she was silent for a long time before looking up, her eyes were full of complexity: "Although you were very disagreeable with your father in the past, you were father and son after all. Even if your father annoyed you, you would never harm your life. But Lao Jiu was different. His personality seemed gentle and humble, but in fact, he might not be able to think about brothers and sisters. Now that I am the only one left in this palace, I can't see you again. Instead of waiting for it, it's better to take advantage of the situation that is not stable. I can say a few more words to help you."

Mo Bai's heart trembled slightly, his eyes moved down, and he saw that the queen's hands were firmly entangled, and her knuckles were white.

It can be seen that the queen was carrying heavy pressure when she said this.

After a moment of silence, Mo Bai looked up and looked at the queen and whispered: "My mother doesn't need to be like this. I have already been concerned about the future situation. In the future, whether Lao Jiu can tolerate me or not, at least he will not dare to touch me easily. Not to mention that he is still not rich at the moment, even if he sits firmly on the dragon throne in the future, he will not be able to do anything in this chaotic world."

"Don't think your father is so indulging in you, just underestimate the power of an emperor in a country." The queen was not as optimistic as him and warned seriously.

Mo Bai nodded and shook his head again and said, "Mother, I am not underestimating Lao Jiu. But in terms of the current situation, I have no other way, I can only coexist with Lao Jiu."

The queen raised her eyebrows slightly: "How do you say this?"

Mo Bai said in a deep voice: "I will not hide my mother's position. I have thought about this supreme position. Even if I don't take the initiative to think about it, the ministers in the Ming Palace will help me plan."

"This is natural. Since ancient times, the achievements of the dragon have been sought by ministers." The queen nodded, not thinking that it was criticized.

Mo Bai nodded: "But after thinking a few times, his son finally gave up. First of all, the son has been born among the people since he was a child and grew up among the people. He has no business in the court, and even if he wants to fight, he can't compete."

The queen frowned and said, "If you are worried about this, although I have not been in charge of affairs for many years, I can still help you in the court."

Mo Bai still shook his head: "My mother, let's hear her son say that it is only one of them in the court. The bigger problem is the court's outward?"

"Facing out?" The queen's eyes fluctuated and she stared at Mo Bai.

Mo Bai stood up, with a solemn look in his eyes, and explained in a deep voice: "My mother should know that it is already broken and devastated. Outside, there are flags and barbarians who have stepped on my rivers and mountains, trying to occupy my country with snakes. Inside, there are warlords from all directions in chaos, trying to take the chestnuts from the chaos, and ambitiously want to subvert my ancestral courtyard and replace it."

Speaking of this, Mo Bai turned his head and looked at the queen, and his voice became heavier: "Mother, imagine, if these ambitious people know that their father has collapsed, will they not care about their own affairs? It can be foreseeable that although they can't push down the banner of the country, the ownership of this new king will definitely become the top priority in their eyes."

"Is it because the emperor is afraid of these traitors and becomes cowardly and dare not take this heavy responsibility?" But he did not expect that when the queen heard this, she misunderstood that Mo Bai was willing to escape. She immediately raised her eyebrows and became majestic.

Mo Bai smiled bitterly and sat down again: "My mother misunderstood. It's not that Erchen is afraid that he dare not sit in this big position, but these people will never allow Erchen to sit on it. After finally waiting for his father to return to heaven, how can he tolerate another powerful monarch in the country?"

The queen was angry for a moment, and she instantly understood Mo Bai's meaning, and couldn't help but speak out: "This..."

Mo Bai lowered his eyes and continued: "Old Ninth is still young and his majesty is still difficult to suppress the world. For the time being, he cannot pose a threat in the eyes of the enemy inside and outside. Such a young king is in line with their strategy of eroding the country and the interests of the ministers in the court. Therefore, when he succeeds to the throne, the warlords may make trouble, causing the country to decline more and more, but they will not be directly irreconcilable, and the court officials will not have too much conflict and will fully help him ascend to the throne."

"But if it was me, it would definitely be different. In and outside the court, we will definitely have a unified attitude and deal with me unanimously. Maybe it will cause chaos in the world. It is hard to say whether the country will collapse because of this."

"Therefore, rather than doing this, it is better to hide it for the time being. Even though Lao Jiu could not tolerate me, as long as he had not unified the world and had not cleaned up the chaos, he would not dare to turn against me easily. Even if he had a stubborn thought, the court officials under his command would not let him do whatever he wanted. In the eyes of those court officials, I still have value. At least I can push me out as a shield to resist the pressure of the flag barbarians and warlords."

Speaking of this, Mo Bai actually showed a smile on the corner of his mouth and looked at the queen and said, "The reason why my father asked me to get out early and even chose Lao Jiu in the end was actually because he had already understood that anyone who could sit in this big boss, the third brother, and the ninth brother could sit, but I could not sit in it. Among the big boss, the third brother, and the ninth brother, the ninth brother is the most in line with the interests of all parties. Therefore, the big boss fell on Lao Jiu in the end."

After a while, the thought that had just arisen in the queen's heart was completely extinguished. After a long time, she looked up and said softly to Mo Bai: "If this is the case, you will be really Wuwei Lord..."

"It may not be safe for you to be the king in this troubled time." Mo Bai shook his head and sighed softly.

"But this troubled times will one day be pacified. If you miss this opportunity to soar, you will end up being a minister forever. If you can protect yourself and live a stable life, it would be fine, but now you are about to give birth to children, what will happen to them in the future?" The queen lowered her head and seemed to murmur.

……………………

...

In the garden.

Lin Suyin was sitting in the sun accompanied by the old palace maid. When Mo Bai came out, she saw Zhang Bangli standing in front of her, not knowing what she was saying.

It was ignored that Zhang Bangli was not concerned. Mo Bai's eyes swept Lin Suyin's abdomen, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.

At this moment, he certainly understood why the mother suddenly felt sorry for him and asked him to take the position of the great position.

It turned out that after all, it was because of the child in Lin Suyin's belly that caused the queen's heart to be turbulent.

Mo Bai didn't know what to say, so he sighed in his heart. Even though the queen had not been concerned about the palace affairs for many years, she was still inevitably considering her descendants.

"Your Highness!" Zhang Bangli hurriedly saluted when he saw Mo Bai.

"Yes!" Mo Bai nodded and signaled to Lin Suyin's eyes.

Lin Suyin got up and returned to the palace with the old palace maid. Mo Bai sat down directly on the chair Lin Suyin sat down and asked softly: "Is there anything wrong?"

Zhang Bangli glanced at his expression, saw that his face was calm and he seemed to be in a good mood, so he said, "Your Highness, I have something to ask about your opinion."

"If it involves political affairs in the palace, there is no need to do it. I will do my best if I say nothing, and I will never interfere." Mo Bai raised his eyes and looked at the sunlight, his voice still light.

Seeing his attitude, Zhang Bangli's eyes fluctuated and he felt at ease, but he still said: "Your Highness is noble and his ministers are deeply impressed..."

"It's OK!" Mo Bai raised his hand to interrupt, turning his eyes to him: "I have already said it very clearly. If it is a political matter, there is no need to say much. If it is a political matter, just say it."

"This..." Zhang Bangli hesitated for a while, seemed to think about it, and then said: "Your Highness, I am here because of the heads of the four sects of Ershan who came to Beijing."

Mo Bai heard this and did not speak out, waiting for him to write.

Seeing this, Zhang Bangli continued: "According to the etiquette system of our dynasty, the new emperor will ascend the throne immediately, and one month after the funeral, then the throne ceremony will be held. Now the situation is uneven, so everything has been adapted. I did not intend to summon the four gates of the two mountains to visit the new emperor immediately, but since they have been summoned by His Highness, according to the etiquette system, I should enter the palace to meet the new emperor as soon as possible, and record this interview in history books." Zhang Bangli said in a deep voice.

After saying that, Zhang Bangli stared at Mo Bai without moving.

Mo Bai looked at him, but he didn't say anything for a while. After a while, he said, "Since the etiquette system is like this, then just do it."

When Zhang Bangli heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart. Those who didn't come would have done the cheap.

But since it is here, it must be done. The emperor's succession to the throne is more legal and procedural than ever.

But without Mo Bai's cooperation, he would not dare to do it directly.

No one can guarantee that those who will admit the new emperor obediently?

No one can guarantee that those who did not know the truth would spread the news that the emperor had collapsed?

More importantly, he also said that after returning to the capital, the Ming Dynasty himself had not yet visited the palace for two years but had not yet visited the new emperor.

Can't Mo Bai hear it?

Of course I could hear it, but in fact, he knew that Zhang Bangli had not finished speaking.

Sure enough, Zhang Bangli said again: "As soon as this is the case, I will trouble Your Highness to convey His Majesty's decree to the Ershan Zhenren and the heads of the Fourth Sect."

Mo Bai did not refuse, just said, "Is there anything else?"

"Also, I wonder if the Empress's condition has been relieved. The funeral of the First Emperor, the succession of the new Emperor, and the numerous rewards in the palace may still need to be decided." Zhang Bangli lowered his head and said again.

This time, Mo Bai's expression fluctuated for a moment. After silence, he heard his voice faintly: "Didn't you say that you should do it according to the etiquette system? Then do it according to the etiquette system and let Your Majesty invite the Queen of Mother to decree."

When Zhang Bangli heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he always felt that Mo Bai's words had any meaning. He couldn't help but look up at Mo Bai, but he saw that Mo Bai had returned to his calmness and could not see any clues.

However, the Ming King finally responded to these two things. The Ming King did not make any trouble, and he was worth the trip.

Immediately, Mo Bai looked at his back, his eyes fluctuated for a moment, and suddenly stood up, walked into the central palace, summoned the old palace maid and asked, "Aunt, I remember that Lao Jiu's biological mother died early, and was raised by Concubine Lan, right?"

When the old palace maid heard him ask, she suddenly looked slightly moved, and felt something in her heart. She answered actively: "Yes, according to the etiquette system, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the empress dowager was born as her legitimate mother, and she became the empress dowager of Jin."

Mo Bai nodded and asked again: "Where is Concubine Lan?"

The old palace maid showed no mercy and directly scolded: "Although he had the merit of raising the new king, when the late emperor was still alive, he was demoted to the throne of imperial concubine by the late emperor. Until the late emperor passed away, he had not been restored. According to the etiquette system, even if he was the throne of the queen mother, he was not qualified to be promoted."

"Yes." Mo Bai just nodded and didn't say anything more.

Seeing his expression, the old palace maid bowed slowly and said, "Your Highness, I have said more than that. Now the late emperor has gone, and the empress in this palace has no support. In and outside the palace, the empress has not been in charge for many years. Since the late emperor left, no court officials have come to ask for imperial edicts. This is really a deceptive... I am afraid that someone will be nostalgic and will interfere in the matter of position, which will make the empress aggrieved. Now the only one who can count on is His Highness, and I will ask His Highness to make decisions for the empress."

Mo Bai turned his head to look at her, but his voice was not loud, but there was no doubt. He even said bluntly: "Don't worry, where should the queen be in? I don't believe anyone dares to say "No"? I don't believe anyone dares to say "No" if you should say "No" if you should be in the position of Concubine Lan. I don't believe anyone dares to say "No" if you should be in the position of Concubine Lan."
