Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 361

Jiang Ziya had no choice but to step forward: "Second Young Master cannot go."

"The Second Young Master is merely a young master of Xiqi, and his status should not represent Xiqi."

A murderous glint flashed in Bo Yikao's eyes: "So, according to the Prime Minister's intentions, I'm the only one who can go to Chaoge? But the other officials say that I have to handle official business in Xiqi and cannot let the Marquis of Xiqi and the young master be trapped in Chaoge together."

"Should we send the younger brothers? Or should we send my already frail mother?"

Jiang Ziya had made up his mind to send Boyi Kao to Chaoge and have him die there. Otherwise, given Boyi Kao's current hostility towards them, he would certainly not give them another chance to seize the throne.

He decided not to hide his thoughts any longer and said directly, "Young Master, you are the young master of Xiqi, and in terms of status, you can represent Xiqi. As for official duties, there are many other young masters who can handle them. This action will certainly not affect the people of Xiqi."

Mo Wang, naturally, couldn't let Boyi Kao deal with Jiang Ziya alone, so he stepped forward and said, "Before you went to Chaoge, you divined for the eldest son and left a message that the eldest son was not allowed to set foot in Chaoge."

"How can I disobey my father's command and the emperor's command? Prime Minister, are you trying to make the eldest son disloyal and unfilial?"

Jiang Ziya: "Times have changed, and the situation is different now. In order for the Lord to return safely, what harm is there in the eldest son going against the grain a little, as a son?"

Bu Ran: "But why insist on going against the rules when there are clearly ways that don't require doing so?"

"The eldest son is a highly accomplished disciple of Wuzhuang Temple, and is the master and disciple of the Grand Preceptor of Chaoge. Even the favored concubines in Chaoge's harem come from the Grand Preceptor's mansion. Therefore, only the eldest son will be safe if he goes to Chaoge." San Yisheng, for reasons unknown, stood up contrary to his usual behavior.

Bo Yikao chuckled self-deprecatingly; this San Yisheng was his father's man.

Since his father went to Chaoge, aside from matters concerning the entire Xiqi, he has only spoken out when Jiang Ziya was appointed prime minister. Now, he is once again stepping forward to lead his father's old ministers in expressing their support, all to persuade him to go to Xiqi.

Before his father left, he had said that if he went to Chaoge, he would surely die. Now, he was being sent to his death.

Mo Wang angrily rebuked him: "My fellow disciples and I are on different sides, so our camaraderie is no longer valid, let alone that of Boyi Kao!"

"Let me make this clear: he is my disciple, a grand-disciple of a sage, but if he tries to use this relationship to make things difficult for my senior brother, he will not succeed!"

San Yisheng didn't expect Mo Wang to be so blunt. He didn't want Boyi Kao to go to his death either, after all, Boyi Kao was a young master he had watched grow up and even placed high hopes on.

But since the Marquis used his magic to enter his dream and made him do it, he had no choice but to obey!

Bu Ran turned around and asked the officials who wanted Boyi Kao to go, "What's there to argue about? The Second Young Master has repeatedly requested permission to go to Chaoge to bring back the Marquis. With such a pure and filial heart, why not grant it?"

"Why forbid the second young master, who is eager to go, from going, and instead force the eldest young master, who is tied up with affairs and ordered by the Marquis not to go, to go?"

The court was completely silent.

Bo Yikao looked at Ji Fa, ignoring everything else, and asked, "Do you want to go?"

"I beg you, elder brother, to grant my request and allow me to go to Chaoge to welcome back our father." Ji Fa knelt down solemnly.

Ji Fa had volunteered several times before, but now he couldn't refuse even if he said he didn't want to go. He had no choice but to volunteer again in order to earn himself a reputation for being extremely pure and filial.
