The cuckoo just stayed for a short time and left before it was too long.

After she left, Mo Bai fell into deep thought.

Lu Xunyi said on the side: "Mr. Du's concerns are not unreasonable. Qu Guochang is indeed a hidden danger. Fortunately, there is no problem yet, so it is not too late for us to get rid of him now."

Mo Bai said: "It's too late."

"Your Highness is worried that he has leaked this matter to others?" Lu Xunyi asked.

Mo Bai nodded: "In order to protect himself, he must have done this. As long as we touch him, the people he arranged will make the news public. Du Juan was right, because I was negligent. I should have killed him at that time, but it is too late to do it now."

Lu Xunyi thought for a while: "Maybe it's not too late, we can capture him first and force him to ask..."

"You will die even if you know you're going to be able to survive. If you don't, you might have a way out. If you were you, would you be able to attack?" Mo Bai shook his head, feeling that there was little hope.

Lu Xunyi's face paused and he fell silent.

Mo Bai thought for a moment and said, "It has been a few days since the palace revolution. Since Qu Guochang did not take action immediately, it means that he is still worried and has not made up his mind. You don't have to worry too much, don't disturb him for the time being. Don't worry about this matter, I'll find a way to deal with it."

"yes!"

Mo Bai turned his eyes to look at him: "Now our top priority is the Imperial Guard Camp and the Gyeonggi Camp. As long as we control these two places, we can protect ourselves. Does Wu Shuai have any answer?"

When Lu Xunyi heard the voice, he hurriedly said, "Just about to report to Your Highness, Wu Shuai replied that the soldiers in the guard battalion were selected from the various armies and were only responsible to the royal family, not by any commander who could influence it alone. The help Wu Shuai could provide was extremely limited. This time, helping Your Highness opens the city gate at a critical moment would have been extremely risky. If Your Highness had not controlled the situation quickly, I would have probably caused suspicion from the State Council."

"If the incident had not happened suddenly and had no choice, I would not have activated the people who were ambushed at the city gate." Mo Bai's expression slightly froze and nodded when he heard this.

"We worked hard to ambush the dark boy in front of the palace gate to ensure that your highness can have a way out in a critical moment and that your Highness can be safe. Even if you expose the Marshal Wu, it is worth it." Lu Xunyi said in a deep voice.

Mo Bai didn't say anything. In fact, as early as the late emperor was alive and Mo Bai returned to the capital, the Ming Palace had already made a lot of preparations.

At the capital city, at the gate of the city, Wu Shoucheng, who had served as a group of personal soldiers in the Fang Dynasty, was the inner supporter.

In the palace city, he didn't dare to be careless. Marshal Wu arranged an imperial guard as a secret son and was ready to pick up Mo Bai to escape from the palace city at any time.

Outsiders think that Mo Bai is full of courage, but if there is no secret arrangement, how dare Mo Bai really be rampant everywhere?

"So, we are destined to be out of control of the Imperial Guard Battalion?" Mo Bai frowned.

"Wu Shuai means that if you want to take control thoroughly, there is no big chance. However, if Your Highness can conquer King De for his own use, he may influence the guards in a short time at the critical moment of deciding the universe in one fell swoop." Lu Xunyi said.

"King De?" Mo Bai was a little surprised: "King De did not get involved in military power. The imperial guards had put him in martial law before. King De should not be able to control the imperial guards. However, Hu Qingyan, when the imperial guards were martial law, he was still able to walk in the palace and finally invited the empress dowager."

"Your Highness doesn't know that although the imperial guards come from various branches and are complex in the army, the people in charge of the imperial guards have always been led by the royal family trusted by His Majesty. Now the general Mo Beichuan, who is in charge of the imperial guards, was originally a concubine of the Ningfeng County Prince's Mansion and had a low status in the royal family. When His Majesty wanted to choose the commander of the imperial guards, this person had little hope. Later, King De came forward to recommend this person, and the late emperor used him. King De had the kindness of knowing him. If King De could help him, it might play a role at critical moments." Lu Xunyi explained.

"I didn't expect that there was still this part!" Mo Bai had never heard of this.

"According to Wu Shuai, he could know about this matter, but during the time when the late emperor was considering, he also asked him about his opinion. At that time, he casually mentioned that King De was very optimistic about Mo Beichuan. There should not be many people who knew about this matter. Only Zhang Bangli should be aware of it in the palace, and even the new king might not know it." Lu Xunyi said.

Mo Bai nodded and pondered.

If Wu Shuai said, he really had to work hard on King De, but Mo Bai was unable to figure out what King De's attitude would be.

Since the late emperor passed away, King De has never targeted the Ming Palace, but Mo Bai knew in his heart that this was just King De who was due to the imperial authority and hoped to use himself to help the new monarch suppress Hu Qing'an and Qu Guochang, prevent them from bullying the young master and abusing the power of the court.

If he really wanted to support his rebellion, Mo Bai felt that if he had not had to stand on the stance of King De, he would never have taken the blame for helping him take such a matter.

While Mo Bai was thinking, Lu Xunyi spoke again: "The Imperial Guard Camp is not easy to deal with, but there is a way for the Jingji Camp."

"What do you mean?" Mo Bai asked immediately after hearing this.

"The combat effectiveness of the Gyeonggi Camp is not comparable to that of the Imperial Guard Battalion. It is even the opposite. The Imperial Guard Battalion is full of elite troops, but there are more powerful children in the Gyeonggi Camp. When he was the late emperor, he ordered Fang Shuai to transfer a group of soldiers to fill the Beijing Camp. He wanted to rectify the Beijing Camp. If we can obtain the support of Fang Shuai and the help of Wu Shuai, we can control at least 30% of the Beijing Camp, and it is the most capable 30% of the Beijing Camp." Lu Xunyi showed a little excitement on his face.

"Fang Youqun..." Mo Bai did not have the ease of Lu Xunyi. Fang Youqun was not a bone that was easy to chew.

Although Mo Bai has always sent someone to protect Fang Youqun and express kindness to him, he thinks that he can win over Fang Youqun, so he may underestimate him.

But having one direction is better than having no direction.

"Okay, let's work on King De and Fang Youqun. I can only find opportunities for King De. As for Fang Youqun, after a series of things over this period of time, Fang Youqun's attitude is a little unsure. You send a message to Du Juan and let her pay attention to the situation on Fang Shuai's side this time." Mo Bai said.

"Yes!" Lu Xunyi took the order.

Mo Bai stood up and said, "You can't let the warlords stay so idle, just keep an eye on us, you have to make them busy. I'll go to the palace and it's time for Lao Jiu to ascend the throne."

After saying that, he turned around and left the Ming Palace and headed towards the palace.

Judging from the appearance, everything in the palace has not changed, and Mo Bai still entered the palace according to the rules.

Lao Jiu was still sitting in the imperial study room, discussing state affairs with the court officials.

Mo Bai did not go to the imperial study room first, but went to meet Yuqing first.

The two of them sat down. Yuqing was very surprised at Mo Bai's purpose, and frowned slightly and asked, "Qu Guochang?"

"That's right, this person is a hidden danger and cannot be kept, but I cannot confirm now. He has made preparations in advance, so we must take some measures to dig out his backhand before we can move him." Mo Bai nodded.

"This..." Yuqing hesitated a little: "If Your Highness wants Old Taoist Ran to get rid of him, Old Taoist can try his best, but if you dig out his backup plan, Old Taoist is probably powerless."

Mo Bai glanced at him: "Zhengren, when Lao Jiu attacked me before, he did not show mercy to Lian Zun. When Lao Jiu was assassinated, you stopped Zhen Ren again. It was already this situation. We are already tied to a boat. If I am defeated, how good can you be?"

When Yuqing heard this, her face suddenly darkened, and even with his nature, he wanted to curse.

Isn’t they so passive because of whom, isn’t it all the Ming King trapped them step by step?

Now I am still talking sarcastic here, I am really not a son of humanity.

But he couldn't get angry, so he could only hold back his temper: "The old Taoist is not ruling, he really doesn't know what to do. Even His Highness can't do anything to him. What can the old Taoist do?"

"Don't worry, why would I make things difficult for you? I will think of it for you." Mo Bai smiled and said.

Since you have a way, just go to the house by yourself, why do you come to me?

Yuqing was not stupid, and knew it well. The Ming King simply thought they were not trapped deep enough, so he pulled them step by step on the evil road and could never jump out again.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mo Bai ignored his mood and said in a deep voice: "The real person has been in charge of the Taoist sect for many years and must have known the powerful people in the capital. Is there anyone who can influence the guards of Qu Guochang's mansion?"

"No, the defensive forces around the ministers such as Qu Guochang are all protected by the internal guards of the State Council." Yuqing replied without hesitation. No one was arranged by Qu Guochang on Yuqing Mountain. Even if there was, he would say there was no one.

He will admit it unless there is a pitfall in his mind.

"It's not good for you to do this. It's true that they have internal security protection around them. But in this powerful mansion, which family does not offer one or two masters themselves. As a confidant, do you think I don't know that a large part of these masters offered by the powerful are those who are deliberately staying with the powerful. As for the purpose of your original actions, do you still need to continue to say this?" Mo Bai's face darkened.

Upon hearing this, Yuqing had to smile bitterly and said, "The old Taoist admits that there are indeed some secret men lurking in the capital. But there is indeed no one from me, Yuqing Mountain, in the mansion of Duke Qu. When the late emperor was there, Duke Qu was the father-in-law and was in the position of Duke Guo, but the late emperor has always been very careful about his relatives. Duke Qu actually has no real power, so we naturally don't need to make friends with him."

"Ha..., the real person also learned to joke. Duke Qu had little real power back then, but he was the ninth prince's grandfather. The late emperor always favored Concubine Lan and loved the ninth prince. Although Duke Qu had little real power, his influence was never small. I don't believe it, and you will let him go." How could Mo Bai be deceived by him?

Yuqing shook his head: "Your Highness, the old Taoist really has no slander. The Taoist sect is not my Yuqing Mountain family alone, and I cannot make friends with all the important officials. Duke Qu really does not have people from my Yuqing Mountain."

"Whose person?" Mo Bai frowned.
