Imperial city, imperial palace, imperial study.
Zhao Zhen reported everything that happened at the east city gate, Dongfang Mo said nothing.
Until Zhao Zhen left, Dongfang Modu kept holding the memorial and reviewing it on his own.
The old eunuch was silent beside him. Although he had been serving His Majesty, he had never really understood His Majesty's intentions.
He didn't know what happened between His Majesty and Zhao Zhen, so that the life-and-death friendship that was once a brother-in-law became just a formality and full of indifference.
He even didn't know why General Liu Shanhe suddenly decided to climb Yunhai Shibei Mountain more than two years ago. Now he has shown up to prove that he has not left, but there is no report.
"What do you think?" Dongfang Mo approved the last memorial and looked up.
The old eunuch buried his head lower and said cautiously: "Return to your majesty, I can't understand this."
Dongfang Mo looked at the old eunuch quietly.
The old eunuch felt tremendous pressure and quickly apologized.
He knew that His Majesty did not need him to understand, but just wanted him to express his opinion.
The old eunuch hurriedly said: "The old slave thinks that Chang Qing is trying to figure out the holy will, and wants to suppress the four major families and the national master Zhao Zhen for His Majesty."
"Why?" Dongfang Mo asked.
"Fang Lin is the bloodline of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and the White Bone Forest is the bone pit where the soldiers of the previous dynasty were buried. Everything in the previous dynasty has nothing to do with Changqing. This is actually just the duty of the executioner. The prison secretary... and the four major families in the imperial city..."
Dongfang Mo frowned, and the old eunuch quickly shut up. He didn't even know what he said wrong.
"This is the strongest point of Evergreen Scheming City."
Dongfang Mo said suddenly.
The old eunuch didn't dare to ask.
Dongfang Mo walked to the window and looked in the east direction. His eyes seemed to go through layers of space and saw Chang Qing who was escorted to the prison.
"No one can really know what Changqing wants to do, because everyone has a different view of Changqing, and everyone's understanding of Changqing is also different, so their judgments are different. Maybe someone knows , but he stayed in Chixiao City." Dongfang Mo said.
The old eunuch was confused for a while, and suddenly he was shocked, "General Liu?"
Dongfang Mo talked to himself, as if talking to himself, "The strength of Changqing's scheming city is not to strategize, to have control, and to calculate everything. The strength is to... deal with variables. His strength lies in discovering opportunities and taking advantage of them." So no one can predict what he will do next, and that’s because Changqing is always changing.”
"He actually doesn't intend to fight Fang Lin. He is showing weakness on the basis of his original strength. This is actually a contradiction." Dongfang Mo said.
The old eunuch strongly agreed.
Dongfang Mo continued: "The reason why I feel conflicted is because I don't know Changqing's true purpose. If I knew his purpose, I wouldn't feel that this is a contradiction. The fundamental reason is to see clearly who he is showing weakness to."
"Chang Qing, I want to scare the snake away." Dongfang Mo smiled mysteriously.
The old eunuch didn't dare to speak. He didn't dare to ask which snake it was that frightened him.
"If it were you, how should you deal with Chang Qing?" Dongfang Mo asked.
"Old slave, I dare not make any judgment." The old eunuch saluted repeatedly.
"It seems you still don't understand." Dongfang Mo's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said: "Everyone has a different view of Changqing, and of course their methods are different. In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference, but in Changqing's eyes , but it is equivalent to a direct showdown."
Dongfang Mo added: "For ordinary people, they only know that Changqing is the former monarch, an old demon in the mountains and forests, who serves the country and the people, and is chivalrous and immortal. Therefore, ordinary people will support Changqing and will not block the road to snatch the jade pendant. National Preceptor Zhao Zhen also expressed his dissatisfaction.”
"For the four major families, Changqing brought the people of the world to force the palace, dragged them into the water, and killed Zhao Zhen first. From then on, he became famous and stood at the top of the world. Maybe they will guess that this is all my idea, maybe they will I think what Changqing wants to do is what I want to do. If they don’t comply, then they will face the cleanup by me and Changqing. They know that they are being used by Changqing, but they dare not disobey.”
"For Zhao Zhen, because he knows more, in Zhao Zhen's opinion, Changqing's purpose is simpler."
Dongfang Mo paused for a moment and then said: "How do the people treat Changqing, how do the four major families treat Changqing, and how does Zhao Zhen treat Changqing? Because they have different understandings of Changqing, they must treat Changqing differently. Only from all sides After receiving the feedback, Changqing will be able to know the basis of all parties."
"In Fanlin City, when fighting against the big demon alone, the Prison Suppressor activated the formation, but there was only Chang Qing. Chang Qing was not angry that the Prison Suppressor and the city defense army stood by and watched, because Chang Qing knew that with his performance, the Prison Suppressor, The public anger of the city defense army is justifiable. If they really come forward to fight alongside Chang Qing, if it is not because of the immortal bones, it will be abnormal. Bribing Chang Qing, the steward of the Blood Demon Gang, is the best example. Because at that time, looking at , it is only normal to spit at Changqing behind your back, and anyone with integrity will not give Changqing a good look in person."
"Now, if the four major families in the imperial city really have no problems, how should they treat the former monarch and the fifth demon? Even if they don't kill him, they won't show any favors? They should always clarify the relationship instead of being ambiguous. .”
"In the defeat of Chixiao City, the Prison Envoy, the Frontier Army, the Hundred Demon Mountain Forest, the four major families, the two major demonic paths, and, yes, there was also the former Qinglian Gang, were all defeated, and they were all defeated here! "
"They don't know what Changqing is going to do. They think they have done nothing, but they don't know that Changqing has already given them a thorough insight by using himself as bait!"
"Not to mention Baili Jingming and Shangguan Yu, even if Baili Liancheng and Shangguan Jinghong are gone, the result will be the same."
The old lady listened, and her back was soaked with cold sweat.
He had never thought of this! He doesn't even dare to think about it now!
The old eunuch knew that being with a king is like being with a tiger. After being "awakened" by Dongfang Mo, he understood.
Your Majesty should know more than the Imperial Master. Therefore, His Majesty's thoughts and ways of treating Chang Qing will naturally be different from Zhao Zhen!
Even if His Majesty issued an imperial edict directly, Changqing would find out the root cause!
The old eunuch's heart was about to collapse. What kind of confrontation was this?
He also understood that when His Majesty asked him for his opinion, he was trying to use it to his advantage! Use this to confuse Evergreen!
"The old slave believes that we should comply with public opinion and grant Changqing amnesty! The hidden dangers of the Qinglian Gang will be completely eliminated!" the old eunuch said immediately.
"What else?" Dongfang Mo asked quietly.
The old eunuch swallowed and said bravely: "Officer Chang Qing should be reinstated, even..."
The old eunuch did not dare to continue speaking, and carefully glanced at the expressionless Dongfang Mo. The old eunuch took a deep breath and said, "Chang Qing should be allowed to serve as the national preceptor!"
"Because of the neglect of official duties, the prison department is in trouble? Because in your opinion, the purpose of Chang Qing's trip is Zhao Zhen?" Dongfang Mo frowned.
The old eunuch fell to his knees with a thud, not daring to raise his head.
The imperial study fell into silence.
Big drops of cold sweat oozed from the old eunuch's forehead.
"But he came for Zhao Zhen, but not for the Prison Secretary." Dongfang Mo sighed. Sure enough, if he had his way, Chang Qing would really win.
"Don't Changqing have a way to cure Orchid Orchid? If it succeeds, I will marry Changqing."
"As for the position of national master, it is not allowed."
Dongfang Mo thought about it and looked at the old eunuch, "Is it enough to be the emperor's consort?"
The old eunuch had a glow on his back and said respectfully: "That's enough."
Dongfang Mo suddenly fell silent. He just remembered a question.
Changqing calls Nangong Lianxue her cousin on the street! Could it be that... Changqing's random words and deeds are all bait!
Dongfang Mo's eyes suddenly flashed with deep anger, and the power emanating from him made the old eunuch tremble.
The old eunuch had only seen this kind of anger twice in so many years. And the first time was when Changqing crushed the jade pendant!
