Thinking of what Jia Gonglu said that day, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "I am the Minister of Zhongshu and the deputy of the Zhongshu Province. Now Su Jinghui has entrusted me with all the affairs of the government office. King Wu said that he is the Prime Minister accompanying the food."

"What does this have to do with Mr. Cui?" Pei Zhanran put a piece of rabbit meat into Pei Jiaoran's bowl, and added water shield soup for her into a small bowl on the side.

Taking a sip of the water shield soup with a silver spoon, Pei Jiaoran said slowly: "Su Jinghui was born in the Su family of martial arts. This dynasty relied on the founding of the country. Over the past few generations, it has become worse than before. Now he can actually become the chief official of the Zhongshu Province and control the situation. Prime Minister. He must have followed Cui's path in addition to his own talents."

Since ancient times, power and money have been exchanged. As a member of the Guanlong family, the Su family is naturally unable to compete with top families like the Cui family. But the wealth accumulated by previous generations is enough to support them in exchange for maximum power. Although there are only a handful of Cui family members holding important positions now, his former disciples and former officials can also become political resources that they can use.

Becoming the leader of a humble family is often a way for them to cultivate resources. It's not that it has to be this way, but if people from your own clan can't gain a foothold in the court, then you have to leave your connections behind.

With these resources, whether it is intermarriage in the future or whatever, we can get around each other. The newly appointed Jiedushi, the governor, or the changes in important central positions, the transfer of personnel in the Nanyabei Division, and the change of cups and cups can all be known.

As for human relationships, the relationship between teachers and students is the basis. Later, the children grew up in the same circle, so they will naturally have the same experience. In addition to affection, when other children of the family join the officialdom in the future, they will also form a unique circle due to their common interests. Therefore, whether it is the Yuan family or the Su family, choosing a higher-level family as the head is the wisest choice.

It would be stupid and a waste of resources if these two companies, after gaining power, feed themselves back.

"Cui Shao used to dislike me, and Mr. Wang Guo even had a grudge against me for killing his son. They allowed Su Jinghui to be the prime minister, just to push me forward to fight with Jia Gonglu. They could just reap the benefits. But There’s nothing wrong with that.”

Cui Boyu smiled and looked at Pei Jiaoran in front of him. Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Since he is happy to be the prime minister, why not help him fulfill this title. I can vaguely guess what your majesty is thinking. He wants the imperial power to override the power of the prime minister." We want the clans to bow their heads under the imperial power. Only by eradicating the roots of the Guanlong and Shandong clans can we create a new order by unbalancing the situation in the three provinces."

"As for how to unbalance the three provinces, we must cooperate with others and let the other party become a dirty glove on the outside. The most important thing in a high school is to have clear wishes, and I have enough clear wishes now. With these clear wishes, there is nothing to do Difficult matter. The martial arts Su family is in Longxi, and now there are children who hold important positions in the central government. The local government must provide a lot of land resources for the Su family. With these, the Su family can benefit the Cui family, and it can also benefit the children of the clan. Seeking profit in the court. As for where the land comes from, you can plunder it from the local area. How can you not be resentful if you do this to one party?"

The Su family has achieved this step essentially without the support of the Cui family. But the Cui family will not cooperate with just one party. It is normal to pull one faction to fight against the other. As for the Su family, which has declined politically but still has industry and talents, secret alliances are necessary. Firstly, you can find out the faults of these people, and secondly, by fixing the faults, you can cause the other party to continuously provide wealth.

"Su Jinghui was quite comfortable serving as the Prime Minister, but as a result, all the big and small things were burdened on me. I might as well abdicate in favor of others. Besides, my power needs to be further enhanced."

After listening to Pei Jiaoran's words, Cui Boyu said, "Is the lady going to attack the Cui family?"

"The Cui family is also a Gongqing family, and without Cui Shao to deal with Jia Gonglu, it means there will be a lot of trouble." Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly, "They are just asking Su Jinghui to avoid me now. But I feel that Su Jinghui has been avoiding me for so long. He’s tired, it’s better to let him go back to his hometown of Wugong to spend the rest of his life. Uncle Boyu, can you take a trip to Wugong County for me?”

Glancing at Pei Jiaoran, Pei Zhanran sighed slightly, "As soon as Uncle Boyu leaves, my house will be deserted for a long time. Jiajia, why don't you come and sit with me more often when you have time."

"It's August, how can I have so much time? And if I appear here frequently, won't I cause trouble for you?" Pei Jiaoran blinked and spoke in a calm voice.

"Are you going to investigate Su's misdeeds in martial arts? Don't worry, girl, I know what to do." Cui Boyu said.

"There is Uncle Robert Yu."

After eating and tidying up, the brother and sister played chess in the yard. The chessboard is still filled with murderous intent.

"Jiajia, do you find it hard to be alone?" Pei Zhanran twisted the chess pieces and looked up at Pei Jiaoran.

"No. Brother, become a manipulator in the chess game, control the direction of the situation, and hold power at the same time. How can you be tired?" Pei Jiaoran gently dropped a piece and said warmly: "This is a very wonderful and interesting thing. Brother , I like this feeling.”

She loves power and the satisfaction of being in control of a chess game. No beautiful lover, no undying love can give her such a feeling.

"Then do you like Li Xiujing?" Pei Zhanran asked again.

"Like is like, he is very good. But some things cannot be measured by liking alone. He and I both agree on this." Pei Jiaoran squinted at the chessboard, with the black piece between his fingers, "Brother, I know you It means. But we can’t think about this problem now. When the storm calms down, this problem may be solved.”

Pei Zhanran said, "Okay, anyway, you have your own ideas on everything. But I still hope you can take care of yourself and don't put too much burden on yourself."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded. Since her brother moved to Zhongnan Mountain, it has been a good thing for her. At least there is a place to rest when you are tired from the court game.

"Brother, don't worry, I'm sensible. Come and play chess. If you lose, give me all the wine you brewed." Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows.

"There are only six jars in total. What do you want me to drink if you take them away? How about half for each person?"

"Four altars cannot be changed." Pei Jiaoran dropped the ball at lightning speed and smiled calmly, "Hurry up and drop the ball."

Pei Zhanran glanced around and frowned. He also fell into the circle of sunspots.

Winning or losing is decided.

Pei Jiaoran stood up and said, "Brother, I accept it. When I get up tomorrow morning, I will bring the wine back. Four jars."

Listening to Pei Jiaoran's words, Pei Zhanran shook his head, "Take it away. I should move to your house."

"Isn't Zhongnan Mountain better? Chang'an is not a pure place after all, and I'm not suitable for that." Pei Jiaoran yawned, "I'm tired, I'll go and rest first."
