The King of Jin shook his head repeatedly: "This is definitely not the case. Master Yan is devoted to studying, how can fame and wealth seduce him? Apart from anything else, Master Yan's younger brother, the great master, Mr. Yan Congwen, has no complaints about Ji'er's enthusiasm for business affairs. He has been said many times that he has lost the character of a scholar, smells like copper, and is disgusting, so how can anyone support him?"
Deng Yan frowned and said, "This is something that the veteran is puzzled by. If King Xiaoyao comes here for this purpose, what confidence does he have?"
The King of Jin was a little anxious: "Ji'er is related to Xia. Others don't know, but you know, Imperial Master. If he is appointed as the heir apparent, Jin will be in trouble."
Deng Yan shook his head and said: "Mr. Ji is a businessman who only cares about profit, and marrying Xia is just to strengthen himself."
"I know this, but the Xia Kingdom is shameless. This time, they blackmailed me, the Jin Kingdom, to get such land. This makes me angry."
Deng Yan said: "Your Majesty, now Young Master Ji is on good terms with Jiang Shu, the crown prince of Xia. He has sufficient external resources and is supported internally by the Nangong family's billions of wealth. His power is no worse than Young Master Jing's.
Moreover, although Mr. Ji does not like literary affairs, he has made a lot of money and treated his subordinates quite generously. Now he is recruiting military men everywhere, and his intentions are obvious. "
The King of Jin said irritably: "Even so, what does it have to do with King Xiaoyao? Ji'er is not close to Qin."
Deng Yan said: "Your Majesty, I just said that Mr. Ji only cares about interests in everything. In the eyes of Qin, such a person is much better than Mr. Jing..."
King Jin was horrified and moved: "Is the real purpose of King Xiaoyao is to hook up with Ji'er? No, no, Ji'er's Nangong family is extremely important to him, but Nangong Xin and King Xiaoyao have a grudge, how is it possible..."
Deng Yan sighed secretly, this man is really not suitable to be a king. In fact, in his opinion, Young Master Ji is much stronger than the current King Jin.
"Your Majesty, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies..."
Prince Jin still shook his head: "Impossible, Ji'er will never risk losing the support of the Nangong family. This is impossible..."
Deng Yan felt helpless. If it hadn't been for Lao Wang's entrustment, he would have really wanted to abandon him. Not to mention cowardly and incompetent, he can't even see the situation clearly. He always behaves in the style of a scholar. Being a literary celebrity is better than being a king.
Fortunately, both Jing Gongzi and Ji Gongzi were great men of the moment. The former was decisive in killing and good at fighting, and he was strongly supported by the Jin military. The latter is shrewd and good at calculations, has a brilliant mind, and has a huge network of contacts and massive wealth. These two talents allowed him to see the hope of Jin's future.
From the bottom of my heart, no matter who is the crown prince, I can be satisfied. Therefore, he has never been biased in this matter.
But even though King Jin recognized Mr. Jing in his heart, he couldn't do without Mr. Ji's financial resources. He wavered back and forth and never had a clear attitude.
Not only did the two major factions suffer from internal strife all year round, but they were also often exploited by external forces. To be honest, he is really not the material of a king. After the Wei-Jin battle failed, Deng Yan took this opportunity to urge him to make up his mind as soon as possible.
But he didn't expect that King Xiaoyao would rush to petition Master Yan at this juncture.
Although Deng Yan also felt that even if he was thoughtful, he might not be able to affect the overall situation, but he still did not want to be intervened by outside forces.
What particularly worries him is Young Master Thorn, who makes no secret of his desire for the throne.
But his nature is that he can negotiate any conditions for the sake of profit.
If Qin is allowed to reach some agreement with him at this time, Jin's future will be truly worrying.
Because essentially, none of the four countries recognized Qin, not even Taiyue and Taihua, otherwise there would not have been a joint attack on Qin by the four countries. Investigating the root cause, who allowed Ying Wushuang to proclaim himself emperor and unify the five kingdoms is known to the world.
It can be said that this is an innate contradiction that cannot be reconciled.
Therefore, when King Xiaoyao came to Jin this time, he was keenly aware of something amiss.
In particular, this person came to Jin alone in the name of visiting talents.
In his opinion, this is the deceitfulness of King Xiaoyao.
Taking advantage of this matter to enter the Jin Dynasty, if the matter of establishing a reserve can be successfully destroyed, the benefits will be needless to say. If it fails, haha, it has nothing to do with the Qin State. Even if King Xiaoyao's affair is exposed, it is just a personal act, and the Qin State will clear it up with one sentence.
But there was only one thing he couldn't understand: why didn't he even bring a bodyguard? Now that thousands of people in the world are targeting him, it makes sense to bring some guards anyway.
Are they confident, are they just fishing, or are they ignorant and fearless?
It can be completely ruled out that the ignorant are fearless. Looking at this person's actions, although he is wild and unconstrained, he will definitely not make such mistakes.
If he is confident, what is he relying on? Just because of the current situation, Jin must protect him? But even if the Jin Kingdom is not safe and gives the empress an excuse, something has happened to you after all. Could it be that you won't be injured or die?
If you are fishing intentionally, who do you want to catch? Master Qing Mian Tathagata Cihang, the leader of the Northern Buddha Sect? Or are they from Taiyue and Taihua? Or... someone with ulterior motives in the Jin Kingdom?
Amidst the fog, Mr. Bai Shi claimed to be quite resourceful, but he couldn't figure it out.
He even couldn't help but think that maybe they didn't have any ideas at all, they just came out for a walk and asked Old Master Yan to recite poems and compose poems. His gang was just causing trouble...
But unfortunately, no matter what they do intentionally or not, you have to follow them and figure it out.
Sometimes he couldn't help but sigh, how could there be such a young man in the world, who really dwarfed his peers like stars above the moon.
But later it was discovered that even the senior experts were willing to submit to him.
Even Sima Ru, the most powerful king in the world and one of the three wise men, was defeated.
Although he was a famous figure in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he had many shortcomings compared to Sima Ru. Now that he had to fight with this man, Bai Shigong, who had always been calm and gentle, and possessed of wisdom, could not help but feel worried.
How could a mere seventeen-year-old boy do this...
"National Preceptor, National Preceptor?"
King Jin's call interrupted his meditation.
"National Master, in your opinion, how should we respond?"
Deng Yan pondered for a long time and said, "It's better to wait and see what happens."
"Just wait and see what happens?" Isn't this just doing nothing? King Jin couldn't help but frown.
"Isn't it too passive..."
Deng Yan said: "But it's hard to judge its purpose. We really can't take action rashly. Don't you see, your Majesty, that although the Demon-Slaying Conference gathered heroes from all over the world, no one took action without permission during King Xiaoyao's journey? They must be the same. I can’t figure out the root cause, so I’m just waiting and watching.”
"Hmm..." King Jin thought for a while: "Then let's take a look first?"
"Be polite to each other, but if he doesn't see the king, the king should not take the initiative to see him, and try to keep state affairs out of it."
No matter how useless King Jin is, he still understands this point.
Then he nodded and said: "That's all we have to do... However, this person's poetry is unparalleled in ancient times and today, and I really want to discuss it with him..."
Deng Yan was helpless, how long has it been and you are still thinking about poems and songs, so you can't be more reliable...
