evening.

The Prince's Mansion.

Bo Yikao invited Su Jin to a pavilion, cleaned his hands and burned the red stove with bamboo charcoal. Widths of smoke rose up, releasing the clear fragrance of wine.

"At the court meeting today, I couldn't stop Jiang Shang from entering the court." When the wine fragrance filled the yard, Bo Yikao poured wine for Su Jin and sighed.

Su Jin reached out and held the hot wine glass and whispered: "As expected, your old lady is old, she is not confused. She is very clear about Jiang Shang's background."

Bo Yikao nodded and said, "My grandmother appointed him as a senior official in politics and has the right to report all matters in Xiqi. If we do not restrict him, it is afraid that he will become a climate in the future."

"Does the young master have a way to deal with it?"

"If Taoist priest also enters the officialdom, he will definitely be able to curb his power expansion, right?"

Su Jin smiled and said, "I don't have his great reputation and strong background. Even if I enter the court, your old lady will not be named a senior doctor. She is not as good as the other party's official position and good pet. No matter how hard she struggles, it will be false."

Bo Yikao touched him a glass, took a sip of hot wine, and asked in a low voice: "Why did Taoist Master teach me?"

Su Jin drank the wine in the glass in one go, and flipped the small and delicate wine glass with his fingers, saying, "From tomorrow, you will go to greet the old lady every morning and evening, talk to her well, and you can talk about your own difficulties in moderation, but don't complain, and don't ask her for anything.

In addition, bringing small gifts every now and then should not be too expensive, but they should reflect the word "will" and give them to the old lady and the palace maid who serves her."

Bo Yikao was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Will this be too explicit?"

"This is a dignified expression of filial piety. What's so obvious? When outsiders find out, they will only praise you for being pure filial, and will not criticize you for having ulterior motives."

"I'm worried that my grandmother will think more."

"At the beginning, I will definitely think too much, and even be hostile and guarded by your arrival, but time can change a lot of things. As long as you don't want to use her and get what you get with this thing, she will slowly let go of her guard against you. At this time, you will truly get what you want."

Bo Yikao said: "I don't doubt that doing so will improve the affectionate relationship with my grandmother, but we just let the court be eroded by Jiang Shang? If he gathers all the officials together in the future and unifies the voice of the entire court, I'm afraid that my grandmother will not be able to do anything about it."

"Time!" Su Jin said affirmatively: "For us? Time is our biggest bargaining chip. Because of the Killing Tribulation of Gods? The Golden Lotus of the Karma Fire, the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect can't wait? They can't wait? Ji Fa can't wait. In this case, as long as your grandmother can protect you for two to three years, Ji Fa and the Chan Sect Group will be defeated without a fight."

Bo Yikao understood and nodded, "I understand? As long as my grandmother doesn't let go, even if Jiang Ziya joins forces with all officials to force the palace, it is impossible to make Ji Fa the crown prince of the Hou State. The longer the time is, the more beneficial it will be to us."

Su Jin smiled and raised his glass and said, "Drinking."

...

...

Since Ji Chang's mysterious death? Tai'er has relied on her own strength to provoke the entire Xiqi, provoke the foundation of the Ji family's ancestors, and manage the entire feudal state in an orderly manner... This is enough to prove her skills and wisdom.

After Bo Yikao was in a state of confusion for three consecutive days, Tai Er guessed the purpose of his doing so.

But she didn't say anything about it, but wanted to see how long he could last.

If you have to spend two or three months on morning and evening, and then make various requests to yourself? Then the old lady will really give up on him.

It’s not because he’s calculating family affection, but because he’s not patient? I don’t know how to endure, if I don’t even have these two points? I’m born with no big deal.

Ten days? Twenty days? One month, two months...

To Tailui's surprise, for so long, Bo Yikao had never asked her for anything, nor even said a ill-mouthed word from Ji Fa. Every day he just served her, took care of her, accompanied her, listened to her guidance, and listened to her nagging.

In contrast, Jiang Shang used his position to connect with all officials and controlled most of the court in a short period of time. He was obviously just a doctor who had no specific position and was more powerful than ever.

The old lady saw all this and her heart was like a mirror. When Jiang Ziya became completely hot and even became the general trend, her mood gradually changed.

"Yikao, your brother has already controlled most of the court. Since you have decided to fight with him for the position of prince or even marquis, why don't you interfere in court affairs, but instead focus your energy on me?" One day, in the evening, when Bo Yikao came to greet him on time, Tai Er asked straight to the point.

Bo Yikao smiled and said, "My second brother and I have different choices. He chose the kingly way, I chose filial piety. He chose the officials, and I chose the people. I don't know whether I will lose or win in the future, but I don't regret my choice."

"Silly kid, your choice is much worse than him." Tai'e sighed: "When all officials believe that Ji Fa was the one who inherited the throne, can I say that they are all the same? All officials rule the people. Even if all the people know your filial piety and virtue, what abilities do they have? What qualifications do they have to resist the officials for you?"

Bo Yikao said: "If I am now in the court and fight fiercely with my second brother, it will be sad that you are grandmother! You are old, and I don't want you to exhaust your energy and end up in this whirlpool..."

Upon hearing this, Tai Er felt a little moved, but his face was silent: "Have you ever thought about it? If all the officials force me to make Ji Fa the crown prince, how can you deal with it?"

"If all officials dare to do this, then all the people will march and capture all the officials who are not the king in one place." Bo Yikao said: "Xiqi is the foundation of my Ji family, not the rule of the officials. If you use your subordinates to force the Lord to submit, this is a great sin, and the crime cannot be forgiven."

"What if I wanted to make Ji Fa the crown prince?"

"Then Xiqi will cause a storm!" Bo Yikao whispered: "After all, whether it is a virtue or a virtue, my position in the hearts of all people is far superior to Ji Fa. As long as I don't die, he will definitely not be able to sit firmly."

When Tairen heard this, he felt sad and said with tears in his eyes: "You are brothers, why are you going to such a quarrel?"

Bo Yikao sighed, "Grandma, I am my father's first son. But because Ji Fat had a strange phenomenon when he was born, the attention he received since childhood and the favor he received far more than me.

It's okay, but it doesn't matter if he robs me of attention, it doesn't matter if his parents pamper me, but he greedily wants to rob everything from me.

In the past century, in order to ensure the stability of the inheritance of the vassal states, all the vassal states have established legitimates as elders but not as virtuous. I am not only the eldest son, but even more virtuous than Ji Fa. Why should I give up my marquis throne to him?
