There is a trap hidden in the question Lu Yi asked.

But Qin Bo looked troubled when he heard this question, hesitated for a long time, and then said hesitantly:

"This, such a major matter, should be decided by Zhongshu. If you are a person with little talent, how can you dare to comment so easily?"

Lu Yi was carefully observing Qin Bo's expression.

As long as he dared to mention the seventh prince, Lu Yi was sure that not only was he deceiving him, but he must also have contacts with the Han Dynasty secretly.

When I found out that he was not telling lies, I felt relieved.

After all, no matter how foresight Feng was, he could not have known in advance that Mrs. Pan would give birth to a prince.

There is actually nothing wrong with having contacts with the Han Dynasty.

But if someone from the Han Dynasty actually discussed it with Qin Bo on such a major matter, it can only mean one thing:

Han Guo already had the idea of ​​​​replacing the spokesman of Dawu Trading.

For Lu Yi, this was absolutely not possible.

The channels of the Han Dynasty are the foundation of the school affairs office.

But it is also the source of one’s own identity.

Therefore, even if he is also a member of the school government, as long as Qin Bo has the ability to threaten his status, he will not be tolerated.

Fortunately, Qin Bo's answer did not disappoint him.

While secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Lu Yi pretended to ponder, and then asked tentatively:

"Then you think that our school affairs office can be our own power and support another prince?"

Qin Bo is much more confident than Lu Yi:

"Has Lu Zhongshu forgotten that in the past, all the officials at home and abroad were frightened when they heard the name of the school affairs office?"

"Although our school affairs office has been dormant for a long time over the years, the situation now is different from what it was in the past."

Qin Bo emphasized his tone, "Zhongshu, the School Affairs Office has been silent for too long. It's time for the courtiers to remember our School Affairs Office."

It's okay if Qin Bo didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Lu Yi's heart suddenly moved.

Some things have been obtained and then lost, especially after they are forced to lose, and then you will understand how precious they are.

Time will not erase the longing in my heart, it will only make it more difficult to calm down.

Lu Yi did the same to the former powers.

Mi Shiyilang's reminder before and Qin Bo's persuasion later finally inspired Lu Yijiu's buried ambition in his heart again.

At present, the dispute between the two palaces of Dawu is becoming more and more fierce, and the situation in the court is becoming more and more chaotic.

But under such circumstances, His Majesty is already old and his body has become weak and sickly.

As a school affairs office set up by His Majesty himself to monitor the government and the public, it can be said to be His Majesty’s trusted eyes and ears...

The more Lu Yi thought about it, the more he felt that his chance had really come.

He forcibly suppressed his excitement, helped Qin Bo up, asked him to sit down again, and then asked:

"If I really want to follow what you said and I intend to support the seventh prince, what do you think?"

Qin Bo was overjoyed and quickly replied:

"Mrs. Pan, the mother of the seventh prince, is the wife closest to our school affairs office. Zhongshu took great care of her two sisters in the past."

Having said this, Qin Bo seemed to have guessed something, his eyes flickered, his face was a little excited, and he lowered his voice and said:

"The Seventh Prince is young. If he can really succeed to the throne in the future, then Zhongshu will be the biggest contributor to Conglong. If we don't rely on Zhongshu to assist in government affairs, who else can we rely on?"

"At that time, Zhongshu will be my assistant minister of Da Wu. Then won't the power of the school affairs office be more powerful than before?"

"Zhongshu's foresight, I admire him from all walks of life!"

Qin Bo cupped his hands, his face full of admiration.

Although he knew that this was a flattering statement, Lu Yi couldn't help but feel a little hot and excited when he imagined that he might become Wu's auxiliary minister.

However, when he thought of the problem that troubled him at the beginning, he quickly restrained his joy and sighed longly:

"It's just that at the moment, the ministers in the court are either from the prince's party or from King Lu's party. The school affairs office is at odds with the ministers, and their power is too weak. What can be done?"

Qin Bo seemed to have expected this problem a long time ago, and immediately suggested:

"Zhongshu, no matter how much we think or talk here, it's useless. The first thing to do is to find out whether Mrs. Pan is interested or not."

"If she is like Mrs. Yuan (the daughter of Yuan Shu who once refused the position of queen) and has no intention of doing this, wouldn't we have prepared so much in vain?"

"If Mrs. Pan is also interested, he is in the palace and is deeply favored by His Majesty. He must know His Majesty's thoughts better than others. Is it possible that he can give advice to Zhongshu?"

When Lu Yi heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh:

"Wow! Why didn't I think about this!"

Although he said that he was looking for a way out for himself, the people who benefited the most from this matter were Mrs. Pan and her son.

They are the ones who should worry most.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi pondered for a moment and immediately had an idea:

"Go to the weaving room to find Mrs. Pan's sister, give her some gifts, and then give her a chance to send a message to Mrs. Pan. I want to see Mrs. Pan."

Mrs. Pan lived in a deep palace, and no matter how much Lu Yi gained Sun Quan's trust, he could not go to see her at will.

Unless summoned in the palace.

Qin Bo understood and quickly agreed.

Although Mrs. Pan entered the palace and gave birth to a prince, her sister was still left in the weaving room.

Fortunately, the school administration took special care of it.

In addition, Mrs. Pan sent people from the palace to visit her from time to time.

So life was going pretty well.

Except not very free.

Of course, if Mrs. Pan asks His Majesty to let her sister come to the palace to visit her occasionally and reunite the sisters, it is also possible.

After all, Mrs. Pan is favored and has just given birth to a prince for His Majesty.

There were rumors in the palace that luckily Mrs. Pan gave birth to a son and was happy for His Majesty, so His Majesty's condition suddenly improved.

If not, how could the ancestor not be blamed for such a big mistake in the ancestral temple?

Naturally, these words reached the ears of Sun Quan, whose health was improving, through certain channels.

I don’t know if Emperor Sun believed this rumor, but Mrs. Pan has received extremely generous rewards these days, which is true.

If not, how could it be possible for her sister to enter and exit the forbidden areas of the palace so easily based on her status as a sinner?

Over the years, the income of the Wu State's internal government has basically relied on the school affairs office, which can be guaranteed.

It can be said that with Sun Quan's acquiescence, the school affairs office has taken over the inner government.

As for the weaving room under the jurisdiction of the inner government, it is natural that the school affairs office has the final say.

Mrs. Pan's sister is usually taken care of by the school affairs office. Now she is entrusted by the school affairs office, so she naturally does not dare to neglect her.

After Mrs. Pan got such news from her sister, she was suddenly surprised and happy:

"My two sisters have been taken care of a lot by Lu Zhongshu since I entered the palace. They have never been able to repay us, and I feel quite uneasy."

"Now Lu Zhongshu asked my sister to talk to me. It seems that he finally came to me for help."

Seeing Mrs. Pan being so surprised, her sister was a little confused and worried at the same time:

"Although the school affairs office has not been too public in recent years, it had a bad reputation in the early years, and it is not without real power now."

"If it's something that they can't solve, how can you solve it for them if you are just a woman in the palace and have no foundation?"

"You'd better be careful and don't get involved in right and wrong."

Mrs. Pan didn't take it seriously. She waved her hand:

"Sister, don't worry, I have my own plans."

She is a quite ambitious woman.

She only wants to ascend to the position that represents the highest status in the harem.

First, he slandered Mrs. Yuan, and then secretly joined forces with Princess Quan to force the death of Mrs. Wang, who was the most threatening to the queen's position.

But the problem is that when the two join forces, their ultimate goals are different.

Because Princess Quan supports Sun Ba, while Mrs. Pan wants to be the queen herself.

Sun Ba has his own mother. If he becomes the prince or even the emperor, what will happen to Mrs. Pan in the future?

Will he recognize Mrs. Pan as his legitimate mother?

Or will Mrs. Pan be the Queen Mother?
