The Ming Prince's Mansion doubted the intention of the Southern Army and wanted to see what tricks they were doing.

After several ministers in the palace learned that Lin was going to the Ming Prince's Mansion and Lin Dingyu even stayed in the Ming Prince's Mansion and did not leave, he couldn't sit still.

Hu Qingyan found King De, and the two of them discussed it. Both of them believed that King Ming's actions should not be targeted at His Majesty's ascension to the throne.

After all, the matter of Your Majesty ascended the throne was originally arranged by the King of Ming, and he had no reason to interfere in this matter.

But when King Ming was like this, what was the idea of ​​hooking up with Lin?

The two of them were a little worried about the purpose of the Opacity King.

Finally, it was decided that King De would come to the door in person and go directly to King Ming to ask.

In the afternoon, King De personally visited the door of the Ming Palace.

"Is King De here?" Mo Bai smiled on his face when he heard the news, and smiled at Lu Xunyi who came to inform him, "I was thinking about how to use how to find him, and he came to his door."

"King De must have come here for the sake of the Southern Army. Your Highness is going to tell the truth?" Lu Xunyi asked with some thought when he saw his expression.

"Well, if we expected it is not bad, the Lin family is really setting up a plan and have the intention to cooperate with the new king, then they must negotiate with the new king in advance. If you want to negotiate with the new king, you must first contact the new king. They can only choose one contact person among the four ministers of the regent. I guess they will choose King De." Mo Bai said.

"Why is it King De? Isn't Qu Guochang a better choice?" Lu Xunyi was puzzled.

Mo Bai nodded in agreement: "Qu Guochang is of course the best choice, but Qu Guochang has been targeted by Zhang Bangli and will not give them this opportunity."

When Lu Xunyi heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Hu Qingyan is a scheming man. Lin knew that he had the intention to compete for power with the new king and would not choose him. Zhang Bangli would never cooperate with Lin for the rest of his life. If Qu Guochang didn't mention it, then they would be the only King De left."

"That's right, as long as King De doesn't have any problems, no matter what Lin wants to do, it will be exposed to our noses." Mo Bai replied.

"Have you thought of a way to convince King De?" Lu Xunyi seemed confident when Mo Bai seemed to be confident.

"It's not difficult to convince him." Mo Bai nodded, stood up, and whispered: "I wanted to contact King De before, but I couldn't find a suitable opportunity. This time, Lin gave me an opportunity..."

...

In the main hall, King Ming and King De sat opposite each other.

"After the announcement of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, the officials of various provinces have arrived in Beijing one after another, and all warlords have sent people. So far, no one has made a public rebellion..."

King De did not speak directly, but first talked about the current situation with Mo Bai.

"This is a good thing, but you can't take it lightly. It seems calm now, but it may not be a sign that a storm is about to come?" Mo Bai reminded him after hearing this.

King De nodded immediately and said, "The officials of various provinces in the country have been repeatedly adjusted since the great funeral of the late emperor. The problem is no longer big. The biggest challenge at present is the warlords."

Speaking of this, King De no longer took turns and asked directly: "I heard that the people from the Southern Army came to the Ming Palace today?"

Mo Bai knew his purpose and couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Wang should have come for this."

King De did not deny it and nodded and asked, "As Your Highness said, the warlords we focus on now are the warlords. But if there is any disturbance, we dare not be careless. I wonder if the Southern Army has any evil intentions when we come to see Your Highness, so we would be ready early."

"The people from the Southern Army are here to discuss cooperation with me this time." Mo Bai nodded.

"Cooperate?" King De's expression narrowed and asked quickly: "What can they ask His Highness to cooperate with?"

"What else can it be? After they heard about the palace change, they thought that my Majesty and I were in the same power and irreconcilable situation, so they came to me to discuss and unite against Your Majesty." Mo Bai said lightly.

King De's face changed, and he immediately stood up and said angrily: "Lin Zhe is indeed uneasy and always wants to subvert our country's dynasty."

Mo Bai was calm and calm: "It's not a strange thing for them to have this heart. Why should Uncle Wang get angry?"

King De was actually observing Mo Bai's reaction. Seeing that he was silent at all, he suddenly felt a little nervous and looked at Mo Bai: "Why don't you know what your Highness plans for this?"

"What?" Mo Bai raised his eyes and looked at him, and asked, "Would Uncle Wang still worry that I will really cooperate with them?"

King De shook his head quickly: "Of course not. How could His Highness not know the ambitions of warlords? How could he be used by them?"

"Actually, it may not be." Mo Bai suddenly shook his head.

King De immediately tightened his eyes: "Your Highness, this matter is not a joke."

Mo Bai's eyes drooped slightly and said, "The people of the Nanjun have already stated clearly that if I don't agree to cooperate with them, they will go to find Xinjun to cooperate. As long as Xinjun can agree to give them Xijiang Province, they will support Xinjun to get rid of me. Uncle Wang, what should I choose in this situation?"

King De's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he said without thinking: "Your Highness must not be trapped. How can the state dynasty agree to give Xijiang Province to them? This is simply a delusion."

"Uncle Wang is really sure that if Lao Jiu can make the decision, he really won't trade a Xijiang Province for my life? It's just for the sake of face. Lao Jiu can even give northern Jiangsu to the Qiman. Now for my head, will Lao Jiu be reluctant to leave me alone in Xijiang Province?" Mo Bai looked at King De quietly and asked softly.

King De opened his mouth, but in the end he could not guarantee it.

Mo Bai looked far away, looked out the door, and slowly said, "Uncle Wang, I can understand if you want to stand on Your Majesty's side. You and Hu Qingyan join forces to guard against me everywhere, and I can understand if you target me. I know in my heart that you are kind-hearted and don't want to see my royal family kill each other. But now you see some things. Before the palace change, I also wanted to not violate the waters of Your Majesty's well, but you saw them in the end. To this day, you should understand that there is no possibility of peace between Your Majesty and me. The flag barbarians, warlords, and even the overweight Hu Qingyan are trying every means to force us to fight in the internal struggle, and Uncle Wang, you are actually their accomplices."

……………………

...

King De returned to the palace with a heavy face. He did not go to find Hu Qingyan immediately, but went straight back to the class room and locked himself in the room alone.

This trip to the Ming Palace made him feel confused.

Mo Bai's words kept echoing in his mind.

He suddenly felt that he should really think about it.

His original intention has always been to hope that His Majesty can live in peace with the Ming King.

He had opposed His Majesty's dealing with the Ming King at the beginning. Now, His Majesty is in a weak position, and he instinctively helped His Majesty to fight against the Ming King.

Originally, he thought this was nothing wrong, but today he said something about Mo Bai, and suddenly he felt something was wrong.

Help this today and that tomorrow. Help whoever is weak will help whoever is strong will hit whoever is strong, so that the two of them will always be equal and will always have internal strife. Isn’t this what the warlords are doing?

When King De thought of this, he felt cold sweat all over his body.

Sometimes people's thoughts are always limited to the inherent concept, but when they jump out inadvertently, they suddenly realize that they are so stupid.

He thought of Hu Qingyan. Hu Qingyan was not on the same road as him from beginning to end. Hu Qingyan's position always hoped that His Majesty would fight with the Ming King.

But in recent days, he would actually get together with Hu Qingyan, be careful to be on guard against the Ming King...

"Bang!" King De suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself in the face. He always thought he was sober, but now he found that from the time he opposed Your Majesty's dealing with the Ming King, to now helping Your Majesty fight against the Ming King, he was actually someone else's pawn, and he was always involuntarily used by all those who hoped that Your Majesty would fight with the Ming King.

Unconsciously became an accomplice and did the same thing as them.

When I looked back, King De had to truly realize that, as King Ming said, everyone was pushing them to fight and forcing them to fight. What kind of King De could do? Can he fight against everyone with his own strength?

It is impossible to live peacefully. The most important thing King De should do is to choose one between His Majesty and the Ming King and assist with it with all his strength.

choose?

King De smiled bitterly. To this day, does he still have a choice?

The door was knocked.

Seeing that King De came back and did not go to find him, Hu Qingyan took the initiative to come over.

King De quickly stood up to greet him. When Hu Qingyan saw the slap marks on King De's face, he was shocked: "What's going on?"

King De was stunned, looked at his hand pointing at his face, reacted, and hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand me, this was my own fight."

"I beat it myself, what's the reason?" Hu Qingyan was puzzled.

"I won't talk about this." King De smiled bitterly and shook his head, changing the topic: "It just so happened that Mr. Ge has come, and the situation in the Ming Palace has been cleared."

Although the old master was suspicious, his eyes stopped on the slap on the King of De's face for a while, and it was still important to do the important thing.

After the two sat down, King De said that Nanjun wanted to cooperate with the Ming King, but did not mention what Nanjun said later that he wanted to cooperate with the new king, and only told Hu Qingyan: "The Ming King's meaning is to pretend to perfunctory the warlords for the time being to restrain their experiences and avoid causing trouble everywhere."

……………………

...

After King De left, Lu Xunyi was still a little worried in his heart: "Will it be a bit risky to force King De to make a choice now?"

Mo Bai pondered: "The opportunity must not be lost, and you will never come again. It is much better to use this matter to awaken King De and make his own choices than to take the initiative to win over."

Lu Xunyi asked in a deep voice: "After all, the royal family is not interested in us. If he chooses a new king..."

"If he had turned against the palace, he might have chosen His Majesty, but after so many things, Lao Jiu was defeated almost every battle in the battle with the flag barbarians, warlords, courts, and our Ming Palace. At the hands of the flag barbarians, he was forced to give up northern Jiangsu. In the hands of the warlords, he had no choice but to be captured by several cities. In the hands of Hu Qingyan, he had to bow his head and ask me to invite Hu Qingyan out. In the end, he almost lost his life in our hands."

Mo Bai said, shook his head and said, "After this kind of thing, if King De wants to keep the royal family alive, can he still have hope for Lao Jiu?"

Lu Xunyi's face slowly relaxed, and he nodded and said excitedly: "If King De was willing to stand on our side, we would be one step closer to the control of the palace."
