Chapter 613
Kneeling in the palace for three consecutive days was actually nothing to Mo Bai. After all, he had the ability to protect his body.
But he still took advantage of the meal time to get up and rest and wandered around for a while.
The main reason is that he can hold on forever, and other princes and princesses have to hold on. Now that the eldest prince is dead, the third prince is imprisoned. Those present are all princesses. The woman is weak and can't kneel for three days.
In the past, Mo Bai had very little contact with them. Many princesses couldn't even shout all the titles, but this time he met them all.
But it was just acknowledging him, and most of them were quite afraid of him, and few of them dared to lean towards him.
Only the eldest princess, perhaps she had a few encounters, but she would say a few words to him from time to time.
Mo Bai also realized that it was mainly because of the incident of King Yong. Now these princes and princesses are in panic. The princesses are not bad. They cannot threaten the imperial power anyway, but some of them have brothers from a mother and compatriots, so they naturally have to worry about their younger brothers.
This is the case with the eldest princess. She had a younger brother who was just ten years old this year. The ninth prince's ruthless methods shocked her, fearing that her younger brother would not escape the fate.
I don’t know what she thought, but she actually came to Mo Bai to seek peace of mind.
On the city tower, Mo Bai could only say helplessly: "Sister, you don't have to worry too much. The trouble of King Yong is so big. In the short term, the descendants left by the late emperor should not have anything to do."
The eldest princess stood beside him, sighed, and said with a sad face: "The more chaotic the court is, the more uneasy I feel."
"Don't worry, at least before I die, those small ones probably can't be ranked." Mo Bai said without comment.
When the eldest princess heard this, she couldn't help looking at Mo Bai, but saw Mo Bai's face was calm and she could not see any fear. She couldn't help but say, "I know, sixth brother, you have great skills."
"Sister, in this chaotic world, the first people who die are often those who think they are capable. If you want to live a stable life, it is better to be mediocre." Mo Bai said in a deep voice.
When the eldest princess heard this, she looked at Mo Bai. Mo Bai didn't say anything more, but nodded at her and said, "Someone is looking for me, I will lose my companion!"
The eldest princess followed his gaze and saw King De coming towards this side. The eldest princess turned around and walked towards the mourning hall, but was thinking in her heart that Mo Bai said, "The first one to die is to think that he is capable. If you want to live a stable life, it is better to be mediocre."
She knelt down in the mourning hall, but Mo Bai's words were still lingering in her heart. She felt that Mo Bai's words should be reminding her.
After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to talk to my mother and stop having any unrealistic fantasies. There are the cruel and ruthless Lao Jiu and the courageous Lao Liu in this palace.
Fighting with them is too dangerous.
Let the Thirteenth brother be an incompetent person.
...
"King Ming!" King De greeted King Ming.
Although King De is an elder, the status of King Ming is no lower than that of him. He still has to be treated with him when he deserves to be treated with him.
Mo Bai bowed his hand and said nothing after returning the courtesy.
"Your Highness, something big happened in Xijiang." King De's face was solemn.
"As expected." Mo Bai was not surprised at all, but nodded lightly.
King De ignored his attitude and said, "Some soldiers and generals of the six cities including Qujiang, Xilin, Changba, etc. stolen and killed the main generals, openly claimed that the late emperor in the court died of murder, and the new king was incorrect in his throne, bewitched the soldiers and wanted to enter the capital and make trouble."
"This reason is OK." Mo Bai nodded.
King De stared at Mo Bai and said, "Your Majesty King knows that these six cities are going to make trouble. Who is the so-called chaos and who is the righteous one?"
"Hmm?" Mo Bai's eyebrows moved this time and looked at King De: "It won't have anything to do with me, right?"
"These six cities are holding the flag of the Ming King, and the sword is aimed at His Majesty today." King De said coldly.
Mo Bai's eyebrows jumped twice and then calmed down again.
Really, except for a little surprise, he didn't find it strange at all.
Whenever Nanyue has a chance, she will never forget to give him eye drops. Mo Bai shook his head gently: "Now all kinds of rumors are flying everywhere, and it is not surprising that there is one more thing about me. The state will just send troops to suppress him."
"The State of China is naturally going to take action, but just as we were dispatching troops, the Southern Army directly descended from the sky with lightning speed. Within an hour, it broke through the six cities' gates and is now guarding the city. After our troops arrived, they refused to retreat. They even said that our army might have plotted against the same party and were mixed with the people of the six cities, and temporarily took over the defense in the city at the request of the people of the six cities. After the State of China is stable and there is no problem, the two sides will send people to discuss the issue of changing defense." King De said with a gloomy face.
"In other words, the rebellion under the banner of this king has been suppressed and wiped out by the Lin family. Now this matter has nothing to do with me." Mo Bai said.
"King Ming, you are also a member of the royal family. Can you sit and see the important town of our country and be robbed so openly by Nanyue?" King De showed anger.
Mo Bai turned his eyes and looked at King De: "Uncle Wang, you should go to His Majesty to say this. It's useless to find me. I have no power, no soldiers, and I don't have that much face, so I can make the Lin family retreat."
"King Ming, the country cannot be in chaos anymore. The warlords have already exposed their fangs. Not only Lin, but Hu, Liu and Zhang are very moved. If this continues, our fortune for hundreds of years of Daxia will really collapse. If the warlords gain power, they will not let you go." King De was anxious.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Mo Bai said.
"Two things, inside the court, please ask Hu Qingyan to come out and suppress internal chaos. outside the court, help the state to temporarily restrain the Lin family, so as not to continue the situation in the Xijiang River." King De said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Mo Bai turned his head and stared at King De for a while before saying, "So, isn't the state going to fight against the Lin family? Don't you want the six cities?"
"No, you can see the current situation of the state dynasty. Not to mention war, even the orders from the upper and lower levels are in chaos. How to fight in this situation? It's good if you win, but if you lose, it's probably not a problem with the six cities. The entire Xijiang River will be corrupt and the consequences are unimaginable. The most important thing now is to complete the deeds of the late emperor first, so that Your Majesty can ascend the throne smoothly. After Your Majesty ascends the throne, stabilize the situation and negotiate with the Lin family. We are not afraid of fighting or reconciliation. Now the main concern is that the Lin family is not in a good mood and will continue to attack other cities in the Xijiang River. He must be restrained." The way of virtue.
"Now, except ascending the throne, the state government does not care about everything else." Mo Bai's face darkened and he said coldly.
"If Your Majesty does not ascend the throne, the chaos will continue. As the situation forces you, this is not what we want." King De said bitterly.
"Sorry, Uncle Wang, it's not that I don't help, it's really impossible. I have no power, no soldiers, and I don't have that much face to get the Lin family to retreat." Mo Bai shook his head.
"King Ming..." King De also wanted to persuade.
Mo Bai raised his hand: "I know Uncle Wang wants me to use the power of the Taoist sect, but what reason do I use to let the Taoist sect take action? Lu Xunyi was captured by Lin before. Now I can't send Lu Xunyi to the hands of the Southern Army again. The Taoist sect can help me save people, but they know that Lin must still let people go. But now there are six cities. Will Lin let go? How many people will Lin fight to the end. How can the Taoist sect die for the state dynasty? Even if I am forced, I will still work but not work. If they don't work, they will not be able to form a real restraint on the Lin family."
King De took a deep breath and settled for the second best: "Okay, I will discuss this with Your Majesty again, but Hu Qingyan's side, Your Highness will have to help you no matter what."
Mo Bai did not refuse this: "Yes, but I have a condition, I must tell me who was the one who poisoned Hu Qingyan."
King De is gone.
Mo Bai looked at his back and was silent for a long time.
He refused to restrain the Lin family, and he had indeed missed the opportunity, but the more important thing was to let Lao Jiu remember this lesson. It was Lao Jiu who personally destroyed the Ming Prince's Mansion's actions to restrain the Lin family. Mo Bai wanted him to remember that sometimes, some things he did had to pay a price.
As for whether the Lin family will be indifferent to the people's hearts and snakes swallow elephants, the state is confused by the authorities, but Mo Bai's bystanders are clear. The Lin family dare not swallow the entire Xijiang River. If they can borrow six cities, they can achieve their strategic goals.
After opening these six cities, they can attack and defend in the future. They cannot really force the state to attack him.
Moreover, in Mo Bai's opinion, it may not be a bad thing to jump out of these six cities. It is always much easier to deal with than those hidden in the dark.
As for Hu Qingyan, Mo Bai felt that it was time to teach him some lessons. He couldn't really think that the royal family had no one. Mo Bai needed him to check and balance Lao Jiu, but it was just a check and balance, not to let him expand, thinking that no one could cure him.
At the same time, helping Lao Jiu also made Lao Jiu realize that he was useful to the country and should not always tolerate him.
When King De came again, it was already two hours later.
This also confirms Mo Bai's speculation. It seems that the person who attacked Hu Qingyan has a very difficult identity, and Lao Jiu has a heart to protect him.
"Your Highness is the hand of an eunuch in the palace, and the man is in the heavenly prison." King De said.
"Eunuch?" Mo Bai sneered, but didn't say more, just said, "I'll just pretend that Uncle Wang is saying the truth. Tell the murderer that Zhang Bangli in the Heavenly Prison, it's best not to have any trouble. The country's anti-barbarians still need him. If he dies for no reason, I am not afraid of anyone's status as a noble person. Whoever dares to make things difficult for me in the anti-barbarians matter, I will kill anyone, even if it's a certain duke or father-in-law."
King De's face changed: "What does Your Highness mean?"
Mo Bai ignored him and said, "I'll bother Uncle Wang to tell Hu Qingyan, and said that I'm waiting for him in the central palace for half an incense stick, and only half an incense stick is the time for half an incense stick!"
After saying that, Mo Bai turned around and headed straight for the central palace.
King De stared at his back, that's it?
