Chapter 224 The Ability to Control the World (First Update)

Wang Boan remained silent. As a member of the civil service system, he naturally knew the temperament of those people.

When necessary, some people may bravely stand up, but most people are not like that. They value their own interests more.

If it really comes to that time, I am afraid that just as Pei Xuanjing said, someone will take the initiative to invite him to join.

Pei Xuanjing looked at the silent Wang Boan and smiled and said, "Pei and the Prime Minister are strangers, but because of you and Brother Gu, I have some incense and affection with Shangshu Wang. Pei has long admired Shangshu Wang, but I have never had the honor to meet him. I wonder if you are willing to help and fulfill Pei's wish?"

His attitude was very clear. Now Wang Qiong and Prime Minister Yang Tinghe were competing, and because of Gu Ji and Wang Boan, he first considered Wang Qiong.

He wanted Wang Boan to pass on a message to see if Wang Qiong was willing to accept their kindness.

Wang Boan fell into deep thought. From his standpoint, he was unwilling to agree to Pei Xuanjing's words.

But from Wang Qiong's perspective, if Pei Xuanjing's request does not exceed the bottom line and can be supported, Wang Qiong will not necessarily refuse.

You know, for Wang Qiong, the reason why he insisted on the throne of King Xing was to stick to the plan when the previous emperor was still there. This is related to his efforts for more than ten years, and he will never give up easily.

If the Prime Minister really supports a young king to ascend the throne, then his plan will be far away, and more than ten years of hard work will go to waste.

Moreover, one thing must be understood, that is, for Pei Xuanjing, he can choose more than just Wang Qiong. If Wang Qiong is unwilling, he can also cooperate with the Prime Minister Yang Tinghe.

As for whether the Prime Minister will agree to Pei Xuanjing, Wang Boan is really not sure.

"I will pass on a message for you." Wang Boan sighed helplessly, and finally agreed.

After all, no matter what, now that things have come to this, he can't hide this matter from Wang Qiong. Fortunately, all the causes and consequences are told to the other party, and see how the other party decides.

Pei Xuanjing smiled: "In that case, thank you very much, sir."

"Alas!" Wang Boan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I regret being smart. I shouldn't have come here today."

There was no falsehood in this sentence. He shouldn't have come today. Hearing these things, he put himself in an awkward position.

Pei Xuanjing smiled but said nothing. If the other party didn't come, he would find a way to pass on this news. This is undeniable.

After all, at this time, they must know that the game in Tiandu is no longer a game between the two of them. A new player is about to end.

Wang Boan came here and caused a lot of trouble. Naturally, he didn't want to stay any longer and left soon.

After listening to Pei Xuanjing's conversation between the two just now, Yu Zhenzi couldn't help asking: "Master, are we going to cooperate with the Minister of War next? If so, should the Prime Minister continue?"

They already had a plan. Not only did they have contact with Wang Qiong, but they were also gradually getting in touch with the Prime Minister Yang Ting and his relationship there.

"Whether to cooperate or not depends on what the Grand Marshal thinks." Pei Xuanjing smiled and said, "As for Yang Tinghe, continue to act according to the plan."

"Yes!" Yu Zhenzi nodded, and then asked, "Should we hide it from the other party? After all, if the other party finds out."

"No need!" Pei Xuanjing didn't care about it: "They also know that we will definitely contact the other party."

Neither Wang Boan nor Wang Qiong would believe that Pei Xuanjing would only cooperate with them. They knew that they were just one of the options.

So, Pei Xuanjing didn't need to hide his thoughts, so that Yu Zhenzi didn't need to hide.

Even if necessary, even if Wang Boan and others didn't notice, Pei Xuanjing would find a way to let them know.

Only in this way can Pei Xuanjing and others maximize their interests.

Gu Ji sat quietly in the study, holding a book in his hand, but he never paid attention to it, but frowned slightly, his expression was clear.

During this period of time, the court was turbulent and undercurrents were surging.

Nowadays, for the succession of the new monarch, not only the bureaucracy is split into two parts, attacking each other constantly, but even the nobles and royal family are involved.

Even Gu Ji, who has been an official for decades, is very cautious and careful in his words and deeds, and dares not be careless in order to avoid being caught by others.

He knows that although he is now in the high position of the third-rank Left Vice-Chief Censor, if he is really caught by others, his fate will be unpredictable.

Moreover, as a diehard of the Minister of War Wang Qiong, if they lose this successor dispute, then their decades of official efforts will be burned.

If they are lucky, they will resign and retire to their hometown. If they are unlucky, they will lose their heads and their families will be exterminated.

Therefore, even for the sake of his own life, Gu Ji is also doing his best to advise Wang Qiong, exhausting his energy and not daring to take it lightly.

"Who would have thought that an unknown person from a remote county would have the power to influence the throne of the empire today?" Gu Ji sighed, with a complex look in his eyes.

He had received the news sent back by Wang Boan, and was also aware of Pei Xuanjing's current purpose and actions.

Thinking back to when the two first met, although the other party was extraordinary, he was only a fifth-rank warrior and needed his help to survive.

But in just a dozen years, the other party has become a very important figure in the world, and can even influence the throne.

How could he not feel that things in the world are unpredictable.

"The boy is rude and has such ambitions. He should have been killed at the beginning, so that there would not be such troubles today."

Wang Qiong, the Minister of War, walked into the study room at some point. He looked angry and scolded.

Awakened by Wang Qiong's words, Gu Ji came back to his senses and added: "In this case, why don't you mobilize troops and destroy them like you destroyed the Shenxiao Sect two hundred years ago?"

Hearing this, Wang Qiong's face was furious, and he said to Gu Ji in a bad tone: "Gu Ji, do you think I dare not?"

"The old man has a bold and strong character. Is there anything in the world that the old man dare not do?" Gu Ji smiled and praised.

Seeing Wang Qiong's expression slightly eased, he said quietly: "But after this, I'm afraid that King Xing will never be able to ascend the throne. The old man has spent more than ten years planning to leave the country, but I'm afraid there will be no chance of that happening!"
