Even though a great witch had confirmed that Ji Chang was indeed stupid, Di Xin still didn't believe it.
The next day.
Boyikao went to the palace to pay his respects. After the monarch and his ministers exchanged a few words, Boyikao suddenly cried:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is very kind, but my father is old and cannot bear the heavy responsibility. I hope that your Majesty will show mercy and allow my father to return to his hometown for retirement. I am not talented, so I am willing to continue to serve the King on my behalf."
It was said to be about effectiveness, but both Di Xin and Boyikao knew in their hearts that this was using people as a hostage.
But Emperor Xin wanted Boyikao to suppress Ji Fa, so how could he agree to this move?
As for letting Ji Fa come to replace Ji Chang, Di Xin also took it into consideration.
Others don't know it clearly, but he knows very well that Ji Fa is the lord of the Western Zhou Dynasty appointed by the saint. Now he can only suppress Ji Fa with all his efforts and let him gain power for a while. Once Ji Fa is in danger, someone will jump out for no reason. Falling apart was something Di Xin didn't want to see.
Besides, Ji Fa is just a child with a yellow mouth now, what use does he need from Ji Fa? What he is most afraid of now is Ji Chang's reputation as a great sage. Once Ji Chang really rebels, I don't know how many people among the princes in the four directions will respond. What is most needed for reform is time. He will not let Ji Chang do anything. Chang left.
Di Xin thought for a moment, and just when he was about to find an excuse to send Boyikao away, there was a sound of footsteps outside the palace.
Emperor Xin immediately shut up and sat upright, but Boyikao was indeed a gentleman. He quickly stood up and raised his sleeves to wipe the tears on his face, not to intimidate the king.
Seeing this, Di Xin nodded secretly in his heart and was even more satisfied with Boyikao.
The sound of footsteps approached, but it was Daji who walked in carrying two bowls of ginseng soup.
"Your Majesty."
Daji's gift was full of charm.
Di Xin nodded with a smile and said to Boyi:
"It's rare for Empress Su to make soup. Please give it a try."
Daji also had a look. After putting down a bowl, she came to Boyikao and bowed: "Daji has met Brother Shi."
Boyikao quickly returned the greeting: "Your Majesty, Boyikao, pays homage to the empress."
After entering the palace for several years, Daji also thought of countless ways to confuse Emperor Xin and fulfill Nuwa's instructions, but the results were minimal.
Now that Boyi was admitted to business, Daji came up with an idea.
"Brother, you're welcome, please."
Daji smiled brightly, making Boyikao slightly absent-minded.
"Thank you, empress."
Daji interrupted the conversation between the monarch and his ministers, so Boyikao could only temporarily suppress the matter of interceding for his father. After drinking the ginseng soup, he stood up to say goodbye and left the palace.
That night, Boyikao had just served Ji Chang and drank the medicine. Suddenly a servant came to report, and someone from the palace came to call him. Boyikao did not dare to neglect, and after ordering the servants to greet his old father, he hurriedly came to greet him.
But what he didn't want to see were the two palace maids.
"Having met the Crown Prince, the Queen invites the Crown Prince to come into the palace to have a talk."
Su Daji and Boyikao had met each other when they were young. The two families had joked about setting up a matchmaker for them, but they never mentioned it again after Daji entered the palace.
Hearing that it was not the king who summoned him, but Su Daji who asked him to reminisce about the past, Boyikao was a little hesitant. However, thinking about his father's current situation, he also thought about using his childhood friendship to ask Su Daji to intercede, so he raised his hands and saluted:
"Please lead the way, please."
Not long after, Boyikao was brought to Daji's palace.
"Your Majesty is in the palace, please take care of yourself."
The two maids bowed and left.
Boyikao looked at the wide open palace door, and for some reason he suddenly felt a little fear in his heart.
"Brother, why are you wandering around?"
A sound as clear as a silver bell came from the palace.
Hearing Daji's voice, Boyikao suppressed his uneasiness, lifted up his robe and walked in.
I saw the lights in the palace flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. Daji was sitting on her knees inside, with two guqins beside her.
Seeing this scene, Boyikao couldn't help but lose consciousness.
"Brother, please sit down."
Daji smiled and pointed at her side.
Boyikao came back to his senses, bowed and came to sit behind a guqin.
"Brother, do you still remember when you taught your sister how to play the piano?"
Boyikao lost his mind again, and after a moment he said:
"How can I not remember?"
Daji said softly: "My sister wants to learn it again, but Brother Shi can teach her one more time."
Looking at Daji's watery eyes, Boyikao didn't know what to do. He suddenly lost his sense of proportion and felt a little at a loss.
"Dare to disobey orders."
"This qin has five internal and external shapes, six rhythms and five tones. Yin, Cao, hook, and tick. The left hand has dragon eyes, and the right hand has phoenix eyes, which are according to Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu. There are also eight methods, namely wiping, picking, and hooking. , pick, skim, hold, pick, and hit. There are six taboos and seven don’t play.”
Daji held her fragrant cheek and asked: "What are the six taboos?"
Boyi Kao replied, pressing the guqin with his hand: "When you hear mourning, weep, concentrate on things, feel angry, and refrain from lust and fear."
Daji asked again: "What is Qibudan?"
"Strong winds and rain, great sorrow and grief, improper clothes, drunkenness and madness, no fragrance and near obscenity, ignorance of music and near vulgarity, impurity and filth. I will not play it when I encounter these conditions. This qin is a relic of ancient times, and it is both joyful and elegant. The music is very different, including eighty-one major keys, fifty-one minor keys, and thirty-six equal notes."
The two asked and answered questions and plucked the strings in their hands, as if they were back to their childhood days.
The lights went out at some point, and Daji slowly approached, her peach blossoms on her face showing her delicate and youthful appearance, and her charming national beauty. Turning her eyes, she conveys her delicate feelings, opening her red lips, and uttering soft and gentle whispers. If you want to move Boyi Kao, you will be confused and confused, causing disaster.
Just when the two of them took off their clothes and were about to make a big mistake, suddenly a ray of purple light flashed between Boyikao's eyebrows. Daji seemed to have been hit hard. She threw down the table in pain, covered her face and screamed in pain.
When he woke up, Boyikao was horrified. Looking at Daji lying on the ground, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
"If I offend my empress, I shall be punished with death. I shall be punished with death."
Boyikao was in despair, muttering to himself, but at this moment, a burst of footsteps came from outside the palace.
Boyikao was even more panicked and wanted to escape, but he didn't want the palace to be empty. For a moment, he had nowhere to hide. Besides, if he hid, what would Daji do?
At this time, Boyikao still thought that he was confused and infatuated.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. Boyikao suddenly looked stern. He took a few steps to the military stand, pulled out his sword, and then put the hilt of the sword in Daji's hand. He pointed his heart to the tip of the sword, closed his eyes and pounced. .
"Yeah" groaned, blood flowed out, and Boyikao almost fainted from the pain.
But at this time, he didn't dare to faint, so he had to force himself up and run outside.
The emperor had many concubines, and they had their own rules on where to spend the night every day, and tonight was about Daji.
As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he saw Boyikao rushing out of the palace covered in blood.
'? ? ? ? ? '
Emperor Xin was also full of questions at this time and didn't understand why Boyikao was here.
Emperor Xin's soldiers who were guarding him quickly stepped forward and kicked Boyikao over, protecting Emperor Xin behind him.
Di Xin waved his hand, looked at Boyikao, who was disheveled and covered in blood, and asked:
"Why are you doing this?"
