Just now, this young lady Jiang Ruochen had a duel with him, which shocked him.
Miss Jiang listened quietly to him telling him the outline of everything from the battle for the right to inherit the throne to the present for three hours.
After just thinking about it for half a stick of incense, he smiled and said that he was not unjustly defeated.
Sima Jing couldn't help but frown. In his opinion, he just missed one move and lost the whole game. If he had been more careful, he would not have done this.
Although the woman in front of her was astonishingly talented, she was not able to see the situation so clearly. She felt somewhat unhappy and even doubted whether she had seen the wrong person.
Jiang Ruochen seemed to have seen what he was thinking, and said calmly: "The eldest prince must be dissatisfied. Then Ruochen will talk to the young master."
Sima Jing stared at her: "Miss Jiang, please speak."
The woman smiled slightly and said, "May I ask, Your Highness, where do you think you lost?"
Sima Jing immediately said: "Jiang Fan's childish design caused me to ignore the real purpose of going to the border and lose military power."
Jiang Ruochen said: "So, the prince thinks that if the military power is in your hands, even if King Jin finally chooses His Highness, you can still seize power by force, right?"
Sima Jing's eyes were dark: "This is a fact."
Jiang Ruochen said calmly: "So His Highness knows that the first defeat is his eyesight. Jiang Fan's eyes are venomous, and he can see through the root at a glance and grasp the fundamentals. He knows very well that political power comes from the sword, and only absolute strength is the biggest bargaining chip at any time. And Absolute strength only comes from military power."
Political power emerges from the sword. This sentence was like an enlightenment, making Sima Jing suddenly realize. I knew it clearly, but why did I only stare at my father and the court? I couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Jiang Ruochen continued: "Therefore, from the very beginning, when everyone was staring at the King of Jin and the courtiers, Jiang Fan had already focused on the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered on the border of Jin.
However, he did not directly attack the border troops, but he catered to everyone's opinions and seemed to use violent means to compete for the direction of the King of Jin and the courtiers. This approach, which has always been in line with common sense, made everyone think it was normal.
But who can know that in this person's eyes, the throne is an army, and the army is the real king's power. But he understands, and you, Your Highness, also understand the importance of military power. But generally speaking, only when the king establishes a heir can the military power be exercised. This is common sense.
So, although you understand, you don't think about it. After all, the border troops are negotiating and confronting each other, and the King of Jin is only setting up the throne, not really competing for the throne.
But that Xiaoyao King thought of this way to draw out the firepower. If you get a large army, even if the King of Jin makes you the crown prince, won't it be easy for him to get it back? In order to implement it, only by raising suspicions and letting everyone focus on the reasonable aspects of the battle for inheritance can his true purpose be concealed. Therefore, including you, the Imperial Preceptor, the noble families, and the Wenqiu Holy Land, all were misled by him and foolishly fought with him for those seemingly normal things. "
Her words were very rude, but now Sima Jing felt that even scolding herself was understandable.
"It's annoying, but who would think of doing this? The king is still alive, the family and the country are not in chaos, let alone changing the dynasty, but he seizes power first and then aspires to the throne. This is not in line with common sense!"
Jiang Ruochen suddenly said: "Common sense? Although I don't know much about Xiaoyao Wang, judging from this matter, this person is a real genius. Common sense is used to break this kind of people. Do you think that through various factors, we can force people to do something like this?" It is common sense for the King of Jin to establish a heir, but now it seems that this person is even taller.
Your Highness, you also know the importance of military power, but what you didn't expect is that there can be a sequence for this matter. Especially for the weak Second Highness, this is the best way. Unfortunately, neither you nor the Second Highness , or the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not think about this. The King of Jin was still there and his reputation was still great. How could he do this?
But the Xiaoyao King thought of it, and even made a plan from the beginning.
On the one hand, he aggressively promoted the competition for public opinion and prestige, but on the other hand, he used the opportunity to make a false shot, making His Highness mistakenly think that the King was going to transfer him, and then appointed His Highness the Second Crown Prince. As a result, he made a mistake. The Second Highness then changed hands and got the real power, and finally got both. This is vision, vision. "
Sima Jing slapped the case: "What a word that woke me up from my dream. I was misled by Jiang Fan and mistakenly thought that my father wanted to transfer me away from the court. Unfortunately, I tried every means to shirk it. I thought I was successful, but I didn't know that its fundamental purpose was It’s annoying to ask me to help others with my own hands!”
Jiang Ruochen said: "Give it first if you want to take it. If you want to capture it, let it go. Jiang Fan's methods completely defeated His Highness. Is Your Highness convinced?"
"It's a good idea to give what you want first! You won't lose unjustly."
Jiang Ruochen said: "Of course, this is only His Highness's first defeat."
"oh?"
Sima Jing's eyes narrowed, but this time he said humbly: "Ask me for advice."
Jiang Ruochen asked: "Your Highness, how can we influence the king's choice?"
Sima Jing muttered: "Of course it is the opinions of the courtiers, the trend of the family, and most importantly, the attitude of the scholar."
Jiang Ruochen was noncommittal: "That's why His Highness went all out to strive for these. But Jiang Fan's vision is obviously broader than His Highness's.
When he was in court, he not only paid attention to the internal affairs of Jin, but also looked at the five countries, grasped the conflicts in the country, and induced various countries to directly or indirectly help the second prince.
In the wild, he makes good use of Jianghu forces and aristocratic families to disturb the situation with small things, thereby affecting the overall situation, such as the incident of Mr. Wang Chulan.
In terms of reputation, he hit the target with one strike and captured Old Master Yan.
In terms of strength, he keenly grasps the core and fundamentally plans to command troops first and then gain fame.
What is really scary is that he combines all factors, weaves an invisible network with his own hands, and plays with everything in the palm of his hand. Except for himself, he can see the overall situation, and others can only see his own small circle. This is the pattern. . His Highness's second defeat was due to the pattern. "
Sima Jing broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. It was like everyone was planning, but everyone's plan was a point in the overall situation of another person. You were turning in the big hand that covered the sky, while the other person was looking down on everything like a god. Is there any reason to be invincible?
What a terrifying Xiaoyao King!
He was still angry before, thinking that he was just negligent and caused today's defeat. Now that he thought about it, it was impossible to win.
For the first time, he felt infinite fear of that person. At the same time, he looked at the woman chatting in front of him with infinite admiration.
How lucky I am. At this point, he couldn't help but bow his head deeply: "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for your advice."
He respected him more and more, but he didn't know that Jiang Fan was bursting with laughter. Grandma's things are all my own doing, so of course I can speak logically.
However, Jiang Fan did not intend to end there: "Your Highness, you still have a third defeat!"
As soon as he said this, Sima Jing couldn't help but be shocked: "There is more?"
"Also, if you don't correct this failure, you will suffer big losses in the future."
Sima Jing was horrified and immediately raised his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, Miss Jiang."
