Saying that, he was about to fly downstairs to catch this person, and make a contribution first, but was suddenly held down by Feng Yihan and said:

"Senior brother, hold on, this person can't be caught."

Seeing his doubts, Feng Yihan explained:

"There are indeed several spies in the Hou Mansion, and some of them have even been lurking for decades."

"But we have to save face for each other."

When Xia Suiliang heard it, he suddenly woke up.

"Junior brother, did you say that the spy was sent by the emperor? Master Hou also knows?"

Feng Yihan smiled and said:

"This person was indeed sent by the Imperial City Secretary. As for whether he was sent by the current emperor, I don't know. It may be ordered by the previous emperor."

"But no matter who sent the spies, wouldn't it be better to keep them?"

Xia Suiliang was a little speechless, but these officials are so thoughtful.

Knowing who the spy is, but not revealing it, can make the people behind feel more at ease, and can also pass false news at critical times.

Thinking of this, he asked:

"If she hears something she shouldn't hear, how will she deal with it?"

Feng Yihan said calmly:

"What surprised her was..."

In the living room in the front yard.

Pang Ji took a sip of tea, stared at Cao Bin and said:

"Juncai, it's time to place your bets, we can't delay any longer."

Regardless of whether King Yong's son was murdered by others, or he was really careless, he eventually became disabled.

It is impossible for Kou Zhun and others to ask Dazong to adopt this son as the emperor.

The only ones who are qualified to inherit the throne are the son of Concubine Pan Gui and Zhao Ji, the emperor's direct brother.

It stands to reason that the death of the father and the son should be followed by the younger brother, but Pan Guifei's son is too weak and may die at any time, which gave Zhao Ji a chance.

He has been forbearing for the past two years, and now he has finally begun to exert his strength.

Originally, Cao Bin had been waiting for the court to decide the outcome, and did not intend to get involved easily.

Because among the three, King Duan has the lowest success rate, and apart from being at odds with King Duan, he has no conflicts with the other two.

As long as it is not Zhao Ji, he can accept whether the little prince wins or the son of King Yong wins.

Now that Pang Ji went to Hangzhou in person, there must have been a very bad change.

"Father-in-law said so, could it be that Wang Yanling, Kou Zhun and others are planning to support Prince Duan?"

Pang Ji nodded and scolded:

"Pan Renmei, that idiot, fought for power blindly. First, she competed with Empress Dowager Liu for the position of curtain, forcing her to seal the palace and completely offend that old woman."

"Later, he relied on his power to suppress the officials, relegating more than a dozen people in half a month, trying to cover up the sky with one hand, and now he is in a dangerous situation without knowing it..."

After Zheng Liao returned to Beijing, the emperor asked Pan Renmei to be a privy envoy and Shangshu Zuocheng, who lived in two positions, controlled the military and government, and had great power.

Now his grandson has not succeeded to the throne, so he behaves so domineeringly.

If his grandson ascends the throne, at that time, he will have Concubine Pan in charge of the government, and he will be in charge of the power outside, wouldn't Da Song want the surname Pan?

Naturally, Wang Yanling, Kou Zhun and others would not want to see this kind of thing happen.

Pang Ji said very firmly:

"Although the court has not changed significantly, I can conclude that Wang Yanling, Kou Zhun and others will definitely turn to Duan Wang Zhao Ji."

Cai Jing has always been a supporter of King Duan. Pan Renmei can still suppress Wang Yanling or Cai Jing alone, but with the combination of the two and the Queen Mother, he will undoubtedly lose.

Pongi continued:

"This is why the old man came to Hangzhou personally. Now that the overall situation is about to be settled, Juncai should take advantage of King Duan's weakness at this time to mend the relationship immediately."

"If the situation becomes clear and the role of talent diminishes, it will be too late to make a choice."

Seeing the disgusted expression on Cao Bin's face, Pang Ji persuaded:

"Juncai, a man who can bend and stretch, is an official in the court, honor and disgrace are worthless, when you retire, you will retreat."

"You are good at calligraphy and painting, you can collect money, and you know how to play, which is exactly what Zhao Ji needs."

"As long as you endure it for a while, there may not be a day when you can make a comeback and have power over the world."

"If you do things right, it will even make you feel like a duck to water than when the current emperor is in power!"

Cao Bin believed Pang Ji's judgment on the form of the court. After all, he had been an official for many years and was a treacherous and cunning man.

Since he said so firmly, the court form will probably develop like this.

It seems that Zhao Ji is really destined for the emperor, and the candidate with the lowest probability has a chance to stand up.

But asking Cao Bin to curry favor with Zhao Ji, he was instinctively disgusted, and he couldn't do it.

Not to mention how failed he was as an emperor in the original history, and the eternal shame of causing the Jingkang Change makes people feel unfavorable.

Just relying on his own quarrel with him, it is not easy to expose it.

He overthrew his lackey Gao Qiu, robbed his beauty Li Shishi, and gave him eye drops in front of the emperor.

How to make up for this?In a hurry to deliver property?Return Master Li to him?

He is not that cheap, and he doesn't think Zhao Ji will sit on the throne of God.

So what if you have the emperor's life, and you are still a time traveler, so I don't believe you can't defeat him!

Seeing Cao Bin's ruthlessness gradually revealed, Pang Ji was taken aback, and quickly said:

"Juncai, don't be impulsive."

"It's just extraneous wealth and a concubine's room. A man can't be powerless for a day."

"The power is in your hands, is there still money, what woman can't get it?"

"If you can't save your face, I will leave this matter to the old man, and I will assume that you have done it properly, and maybe you can be promoted..."

When Pang Yanyan heard this, she looked at Cao Bin worriedly, but saw him wave his hand and said:

"Father-in-law doesn't need to say anything, my son-in-law has already made up his mind."

Hearing this, Pang Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew that Cao Bin was different from most people nowadays and respected the women in her family, she was also a little worried.

She is very satisfied with the current atmosphere in Hou's mansion, and is very worried that this harmony will be destroyed.

But I also felt that what my father said made sense, so I was a little entangled for a while.

Seeing Cao Bin's refusal, Grand Master Pang shook his head in disappointment, and reminded:

"Juncai, you must know that you are in the court, and you can't help yourself, because of your old grievances with Duan Wang, Cai Jing and others."

"If you don't bow your head, not only will your future be in jeopardy, but your wealth and life will also be lost."

Seeing that Cao Bin was still unmoved, Grand Master Pang sighed and said:

"Since this is the case, the old man will not force you, so we can only use a next strategy."

"Even if it has some impact on your future, it can still protect your wealth. It's just that Yanyan will be wronged."

With that said, he said helplessly:

"You can know who the old man is traveling with when he comes to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Cao Bin is considering the success rate of his next plan, and doesn't want to listen to his tricks:

"Father-in-law just said so."

Pang Ji hesitated and said:

"When the old man was out of Beijing, he met Zhao Ji's beloved daughter playing in Weifu, and with his perfect tongue, he lured her to Jiangnan."

"This woman has a good impression of Juncai. You might as well make rice for cooking and marry Zhao Ji by force, but Yanyan..."

Hearing this, Cao Bin was a little stunned. He never thought that the old father-in-law would do such a wicked thing...but he really had nothing to say to himself.

Seeing that Pang Yanyan bowed her head in aggrieved manner, Pang Ji persuaded:

"Daughter, although this matter has wronged you a bit, it is a last resort,"

"As long as a talented person has you in his heart, a reputation is nothing, and you don't want the Cao family to fall, do you?"

Pang Yanyan raised her head quickly, looked at Cao Bin with tears in her eyes and said:

"Father, Yanyan understands, as long as you treat Brother Juncai well, I will listen to you."

Pang Ji nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Juncai, why are you still hesitating? Although the position of son-in-law will restrict you."

"But you come from a different background after all, and you still have a bright future..."

Seeing that the old father-in-law arranged for himself so well without saying a word, Cao Bin was moved but also a little speechless.

Although he is lecherous, he has not yet reached the point of remarrying his wife. He stepped forward to wipe Pang Yanyan's tears, and said with a smile:

"Don't cry, my husband can't bear to let his senior sister, how can he let you be wronged?"

"I said long ago that you will always be the eldest wife of my Cao family, and you will never change in this life."

"Besides, a husband and wife are one body. Wouldn't throwing away a wife and betraying the alliance be like cutting off a limb?"

"I'm afraid of pain for my husband, but I don't want to hurt myself!"

When Pang Yanyan heard this, all the grievances disappeared, and she hugged him quickly and said:

"Yanyan doesn't care, as long as her husband and lord can be together, Yanyan is willing to be a concubine."

Cao Bin rubbed her head and interrupted:

"Okay, don't think about it, the husband has his own plans for the future, and it's not your turn to bear it."

Then, he turned his head to look at Pang Ji and said:

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law doesn't think the situation is so bad."

"I want to help the little prince ascend to the throne!"

Pang Ji grinned uncomfortably when he saw that Cao Bin and Pang Yanyan were making out with each other.

Unexpectedly, the son-in-law who has always been a prodigal son-in-law also has a affectionate side. Although he is a little relieved, he is more angry.

For him, the love between men and women is just a small way, so he couldn't help but teach:

"Juncai, when a man acts casually, how can he indulge in the alliance between men and women?"

"Help Prince Pan ascend the throne? How can you help?"

"To succeed, you must follow the trend and use the strong to bully the weak. If you go against the sky, it will only be thankless."

"Do you think you can do whatever you want because you are invincible in martial arts?"

"Even if you are covered with iron, how many nails can you drive?"

"In all dynasties, how many of those who served the brave and proud got a good end?"

With that said, he shook his head and said:

"You're still too young."

Pang Ji thought that Cao Bin was young and energetic, and he couldn't stand wronged, and couldn't tolerate shortcomings.

But as an old politician, he knows that if he wants to be in the court, he must tolerate flaws, be in harmony with the light, and know how to endure and give in, so that he can prosper forever.

The people who can achieve great things in this world are definitely not perfect and talented people, but those "fools" who are persevering and not afraid of failure.

A gentleman is not a weapon, once a person indulges in his own talent, it is difficult to accommodate others.

In order to let Cao Bin understand, Pang Ji patiently explained:

"Juncai, manpower is sometimes poor, not to mention how difficult it is to support Prince Pan."
