The two of them cried and complained, but Lao Jiu came back to his senses and realized that the most important thing at the moment was the matter of the Ming King, rather than being caught up in the dispute between the two.

Although he was upset, he took a deep breath and his eyes slowly fell on King De. After all, King De was protecting King Ming. His eyes gradually became deeper and he had to think about what King De meant to protect King Ming?

Is it the royal attitude? What do they want to do?

His eyes gradually became colder and he stared at King De: "Uncle Wang, what else do you have to say?"

King De was cold all over when Lao Jiu saw it, and his mouth trembled a few times. He knew that the situation was not good, but he was afraid of His Majesty. But at this point, he could only say, "Your Majesty, how dare the old minister confuse his innocence? How could Qu Guochang see the truth clearly? He kept saying that the inner guard saw that the person who fought with the Ming King was Yuqing Zhenren, but what could he do if he saw it with his own eyes? How mysterious is the real person's movement? How can ordinary people see through it? Xiao Wang wants to ask Old Man Qu, you are sure that there will be no thieves assassination? You dare to conclude that Yuqing Zhenren is not helping the Ming King destroy the thief? But he is fighting with the Ming King?"

Qu Guochang was furious when he heard this, and some words could not be said explicitly.

What can't confront the Ming King and join forces to capture the thief?

Yes, if they insist on quibbling, Qu Guochang naturally couldn't confront him, but since he wanted to touch King Ming, how could he give him a chance to go to the palace to confront him?

Just convict them directly, wipe them out immediately in the palace city, and get rid of this important problem, so why should you deal with any matter?

The foundation of the Ming King is in the Taoist sect. Before, although they had the intention to eliminate the Ming King, they were very concerned and never dared to take action.

Now the six masters have entered the palace city, and for some reason, the Ming King suddenly fought with Taiqing, which made Qu Guochang realize that the opportunity to go out to the Ming King was coming.

No matter why King Ming fought with Taiqing, at least it means that the King Ming and the six masters of the Taoist sect are not that close.

If you can take this opportunity to attack the Ming King, the six masters may not be able to survive. After getting rid of the Ming King, you will hold the six masters hostage to control the Taoist sect.

Qu Guochang could see that His Majesty also considered these things and had the intention to attack the Ming King, so he stood up and took the opportunity to take the life of the Ming King.

However, he could only hold these words in his heart, and could not say them openly. King De pretended to be confused, and he had no choice but to look at Zhang Bangli and Hu Qingyan. After all, how to decide in the end depends on the meaning of the new emperor.

However, any decision of the new emperor comes from the support of the four of them. Therefore, since King De jumped out to protect King Ming, it must depend on who Hu Qingyan and Zhang Bangli supported.

Qu Guochang knew very well that although Zhang Bangli did not speak out, he was definitely a faction that supported King De, and he never advocated turning against the Ming King. But today Zhang Bangli never spoke out. Qu Guochang knew very well that there must be something wrong with this. It was probably because Zhang Bangli was beaten by His Majesty and did not dare to speak out.

Therefore, the key at this time is Hu Qingyan. As long as Hu Qingyan expresses his support, no matter how much Zhang Bangli thinks about it, it will be useless.

As for Hu Qingyan...

Qu Guochang's eyes flashed slightly. Hu Qingyan was the old master of the current dynasty. The new emperor was young and his authority was amazing. However, as long as the Ming King was alive, it would be like a stone pressing on Hu Qingyan. No matter whether Hu Qingyan had the will of his family or not, he would definitely not like a huge rock pressing on his head.

King De also looked at them, and finally they pretended to be deaf and could not get over it. However, Zhang Bangli did not speak in the end.

Hu Qingyan glanced at Zhang Bangli in surprise, and had to stand up and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, the old minister cannot see clearly the matter of the ban on military use by the King of Ming and Taiqing Zhenren. However, the ministers think that your Majesty has just ascended the throne and the new dynasty has not yet stabilized. The most important thing at present is to stabilize the court's principles and be smoother. The Taoist sects come to the palace to see Your Majesty, which can help Your Majesty to impose the world. This matter should not be caused by twists and turns."

"Gei Master..." Qu Guochang immediately spoke urgently when he heard this.

But he was interrupted by the shout of King De beside him: "Qu Guochang, Master Ge is a man of a serious and polite word. Don't continue to mess around. The old minister has been tolerating you for a long time. Don't forget that King Ming is the prince of my royal family. Just because you are a little foreign relative, you dare to frame my prince of the Tian family several times. What are you feeling for? Could it be that he really wants to deceive my new emperor at a young age, so he can cut off my imperial relatives with one force to do the act of the foreign relatives' abuse of power?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qu Guochang jumped up on the spot, but this time he was scared: "How dare you defame me? I will be irrelevant with you..."

"Enough!" But he didn't expect that the upper Laojiu suddenly slapped the table, and shouted with a gloomy face: "Take them down and order the imperial doctor to treat them."

The two of them dared not say anything again, and at the same time they looked up at the new emperor above, both of whom were frightened.

It was not until after leaving the door that the two looked at each other, but their eyes were full of murderous intent.

This time, the two of them were not just breaking up. When King De said the last sentence "the foreign relatives abusing power" was destined to be enemies of King De in the future.

Being with the king is like a tiger. No one can detect the changes in the emperor's mind. Qu Guochang was not sure, was the new emperor really not guarding against him?

If there are some things that are not said, everyone is very harmonious. Once they are penetrated, there will always be a meme between the two parties, which is not as close as before.

King De was sent back to the mansion directly, and his family was shocked when they saw this.

King De dismissed everyone, leaving his eldest son beside him, telling the story of today.

When his eldest son heard this, he said with a shocked face: "Why did your father offend His Majesty and the Qu family for the sake of the arrogant people of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Stop..." King De's face darkened, staring at his eldest son for a while, but his face slowly softened, and he sighed for a long time: "Yan'er, it's not that the father wants to protect King Ming, but that he has to protect him."

When Mo Ziyan heard this, she was puzzled and said with a look of ugly expression: "Please give me advice from my father."

King De pondered for a moment before speaking: "The new emperor is young, and the late emperor leaves us to help the new emperor. You should know that the four of us may not be one mind. It is precisely because we are not one mind that the late emperor leaves us to check and balance each other."

"We are the four of us, Hu Qingyan is the chief minister of the court, and all the dynasties are his disciples. This king is the royal family and has the royal family as his backer. Qu Guochang is the Duke of the Kingdom and the grandfather of the new emperor, so he is of great power. However, only Zhang Bangli, although the Zhang family has been loyal and kind all the time, in fact, Zhang Bangli is an imperial minister. If the former emperor was in the past, Zhang Bangli would be the first in terms of power."

"But Zhang Bangli's power comes from the emperor's trust in his power. Once the emperor does not trust in his power, he will soon fall into dust. Today, I see that Zhang Bangli is very different from the past. It must be something happened with the new emperor. If I expected it, Zhang Bangli would be the first of the three of us to be eliminated."

Mo Ziyan nodded, agreed with her father's analysis, and wanted to ask what happened to Zhang Bangli, but it was difficult to interrupt King De, so she could only continue to listen.

King De thought of Zhang Bangli's appearance today, and sighed: "As a result, because of the Ming King, His Majesty was displeased. It's a pity..."

Speaking of this, King De smiled bitterly and didn't dare to say more. Besides, he criticized the emperor for making a taboo. After a slight pause, he continued: "As soon as Zhang Bangli left, we were only three of us, and the balance was broken. Do you think, who is the strongest and who is the weakest?"

When Mo Ziyan heard this, she frowned slightly: "In terms of real power, the strongest one should be Mr. Hu, and the weakest one is naturally Qu Guochang, after all, he is a relative of the foreign country."

King De glanced at him and shook his head slowly and said, "The strongest is indeed Hu Qingyan, but the weakest is not necessarily Qu Guochang."

"Well? My father said that our royal family is the weakest? No matter what, we are also the imperial family of the Tian family. Is it that the weight is not as good as that of a relative of the foreigner?" Mo Ziyan was a little dissatisfied.

King De lowered his head and his voice was inaudible: "In fact, the weakest is... the new emperor!"

As soon as this said, Mo Ziyan's pupils suddenly contracted. He wanted to speak, but King De raised his hand and did not let him say it. He continued in a voice that was inaudible: "The new emperor was the strongest, but once Zhang Bangli left, he was the weakest immediately, because among the four of us, only Zhang Bangli was dedicated to serving the emperor, and he only had the emperor as a support. With his card in his hand, he could use his power to exert force, so that neither of us could jump out of his palm."

"However, now, as soon as Zhang Bangli left, who can he give to the authority he had controlled before? He definitely can't give to Hu Qingyan, so he can only give to the royal family and the relatives of the foreign country. However, the new emperor had just ascended the throne and the Ming king was staring at him. The new emperor would inevitably be afraid of the attitude of our royal family, and he was afraid that we would collude with the Ming king, so he naturally had to guard against us and it would not be possible to make our authority too heavy. Therefore, when Zhang Bangli left, the most benefited from the foreign country."

"But can the relatives of the foreign country be in the same mind as the king? Since ancient times, the royal family has been preventing the relatives of the foreign country from abusing their power, which is a lesson for history books. The power of the foreign country will eventually harm the country. They have great power but do not have the sense of responsibility to share honor and disgrace with the royal family. How can they not cause trouble?"

"So the relatives of the outside world are unreliable. If this continues, the new emperor will not even have a card left. He can only watch the king's power be weakened and even fallen."

Mo Ziyan was frightened by the audition. He didn't realize that the situation was so difficult. He couldn't help but ask: "Father, since you know this, why don't you explain it clearly to the new emperor and let him keep Zhang Bangli?"

King De's voice became more and more bitter: "Do you think the new emperor doesn't understand? If the new emperor can't even understand these, how could he be chosen by the late emperor?"

"He knows everything? Then why do you still have to fold your wings? What does he want to do?" Mo Ziyan's face changed.

King De glanced at him and shook his head gently: "Some things, even if you can see clearly, you can't help it. For the new emperor, some things cannot be controlled for so long, so you can only take care of them first. Now the King of Ming is his biggest threat. If you cannot get rid of Ming, then he will not be able to sit steadily. How can you talk about the future situation? If you can successfully get rid of Ming, then it is not necessary to deal with everything."

"So, even if he knew that Zhang Bangli was his greatest help, he still wanted to abolish this card, just because Zhang Bangli's attitude towards the Ming King was inconsistent with him. Since that's the case, it would be better to abolish it instead of keeping it for the Ming King to be used."

Mo Ziyan thought about it, but in the end she couldn't say anything. Even though she wanted to blurt out a lot of things in her heart, she slipped to her mouth but couldn't say it. What could he do if he was really changed? I'm afraid it was the same choice as the new emperor. The threat from the Ming King was too great.

Speaking of this, King De mentioned today's main topic: "In the past, Zhang Bangli was blocking the front, so I could naturally hide behind, but now that Zhang Bangli was out, I can only come out to protect King Ming."

Mo Ziyan raised her head and waited for the reason why King De helped protect King Ming.

King De didn't keep it a secret: "I said so much just now, you should understand that after Zhang Bangli left, Hu Qingyan and his relatives will definitely be more powerful. Our royal family may become the next one to be eliminated. What will happen at that time? Now there are many external troubles. If my monarchy loses its power, my Mo family's throne will probably be in this generation. At that time, our royal family will probably end up miserably."

"Although the Ming King is arrogant and not liked by my master, who can be more powerful than the Ming King when you look at the entire royal family and even the entire court? No matter what, he is my royal family and a direct lineage. As long as he is here, it will be enough to shock Hu Qingyan and Qu Guochang. No matter how powerful they are, as long as they think of the Ming King, they will definitely not dare to despise the royal family."

"So, from the perspective of our royal family, there is no choice at all when the new emperor cannot control the court. He only has the ability to protect the Ming King. Even if he offends the new emperor for this, he will do whatever he wants. Because I am the only one who offends the new emperor now, but if you give up the Ming King, our clan may suffer in the future."
