When Jiang Fan said this, the two of them couldn't help but look at the Empress. They had only heard about Jiang Fan's fiefdom autonomy and needed to be confirmed by the Empress.
The empress naturally understood, and immediately put down the tea cup: "Fiefdom autonomy is indeed a matter of fact, and the laws and decrees of the Qin State are not included in it."
Huangfu Zhaoye hesitated and said, "Then I don't know why the monarch put down his state affairs and came here in person..."
The empress looked at him and said, "Why don't the Imperial Master go and ask the man just now?"
Huangfu Zhaoye was a little confused. The relationship between the empress and the heavenly beings was so deep that it made perfect sense to come after the heavenly beings.
But the sick man suddenly said at this time: "I have always heard that as an emperor, family affairs and state affairs should not be confused. I wonder what the king of Qin thinks?"
Huangfu Zhaoye thought for a moment and understood why he asked. The relationship between the empress and Jiang Fan is unclear, and the sick man is still worried.
This is indeed unsettling. Once Zhang Zhiling enters Lishan, who can supervise him? At that time, we can only rely on Zhang Zhiling's character.
The empress's eyes turned cold: "Fourth Elder, I respect you as the Fifth Elder of Taiyue. You must also know that I am the king of a country. My family and state affairs do not need anyone else's intervention."
She suddenly changed her attitude, and the two of them were shocked.
The identity of the sick man is roughly equivalent to that of Taihua Lu Yan, and this person was the one who had just beheaded Lu Yan.
The sick man coughed lightly: "I just asked casually. Taiyue is the master of the temple, so naturally he cares more."
The empress said calmly: "Taiyue has never approved of me. Please ask again when he does."
The sick man was speechless here.
Jiang Fan is funny, come on, just shut your own mouth. He firmly believed that even if Taiyue recognized the empress in the future, the empress would still respond domineeringly: Do you, Taiyue, plan to rule the country for me?
Anyway, in one sentence, the empress has no respect from the heavens and the heavens, let alone you, a Taiyue who rose up later.
To be honest, Jiang Fan occasionally wondered what the Empress's confidence was, the millions of cavalry in the Qin Dynasty? Or is it your own force?
Even if both of them are very good, they can really stand up to the world together. Not to mention places like the Holy Land and Tianwaitian.
Sometimes, Jiang Fan always feels that there is something behind the scenes that is not only simple, but also vaguely feels that there is a huge secret.
The sick man was speechless, and Huangfu Zhaoye also didn't know how to answer the question. But both of them understood one thing. With the empress here, they might not be able to stop Zhang Zhiling today. Unless Zhang Zhiling doesn't plan to go, this word "good disciple" means that he has made a decision.
"It's just that I am here at Songbai Hall..."
Zhang Zhiling seemed a little worried.
Jiang Fan immediately patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, my disciple has some friendship with Duke Baishi of Jin State and Old Master Yan. Who can I ask to come forward and you can't get two great scholars? This is the class to take over your old man, then Are you afraid of helping people sharpen their heads?"
Zhang Zhiling seemed a little helpless: "Oh - you brat, you must have made arrangements a long time ago. It seems that I may have to help my apprentice."
Jiang Fan smiled playfully: "Thank you, master. Thank you, master."
Huangfu and the sick man looked at each other briefly, and both saw each other's helplessness. They understood that the matter had come to this point and could not be stopped.
After understanding the situation, Huangfu Zhaoye pondered for a moment, but instead held up his hands and smiled: "Congratulations, the old prime minister has never accepted a disciple. In his later years, he has a prodigy like King Xiaoyao as his disciple. It is really gratifying and congratulatory. If not today, I would still be here." I’m still in the dark, so why not drink tea instead of wine and have a toast to my old friend.”
Zhang Zaifu said with a smile: "This matter has not been announced to the public. After all, I have not taught anything. This master is not qualified."
Jiang Fan was extremely happy. Zhang Zaifu publicly acknowledged the master-disciple relationship, which is amazing.
Who is this? The Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, to put it bluntly, who in the world's temples is not allowed to give him three points of thin noodles?
Strictly speaking, his recruitment of disciples is a very important matter. Taiyue, Dazhou, Five Kingdoms, and even Taihua, which dominates the world, will pay close attention to it.
In this way, Jiang Fan's identity is different. At least Zhang Zaifu's influence is there, and his status is rising. What's more, he still has so many disciples who are still living in the temple, so there must be a lot of help...
Naturally, it is a good thing for Jiang Fan, but it is not a good thing for many other people.
Especially Grand Master Huangfu, he was already sighing secretly in his heart. Zhang Zhiling's five-nation relationship network was afraid that from today on, he would be lost to this apprentice.
It turns out that this apprentice is not an ordinary person, but a monster with extraordinary talents and wisdom. With his status as the king of the Qin Kingdom, coupled with Zhang Zaifu's apprentice, his influence on the world's situation in the future will be extremely considerable.
Zhang Zaifu seemed quite satisfied and smiled with his beard: "Old friends are getting together today. I have prepared a small amount of wine. How about we get drunk together?"
The sick man coughed slightly and said, "I am in poor health and not good at drinking. I have other things to worry about at this time. I understand the kind words of the Prime Minister."
Zhang Zhiling didn't try to hold him back. In fact, what he said was simply to end the conversation.
Huangfu Zhaoye sighed secretly in his heart and looked at Zhang Zhiling: "Old friend, I would like to pay tribute to the deceased. According to his last wish, his ashes will be scattered on the top of the Jade Emperor in Taiyue. If there is time, you can go and put incense sticks."
Zhang Zhiling was also a little disappointed: "The oil for the great sacrifice has run out, and the lamp has dried up. Only then did Zhang Zhiling achieve great enlightenment. I will pay tribute to him someday."
Huangfu Zhaoye stood up and cupped his hands: "That's it, I'll take my leave."
Then he said goodbye to the empress. The empress suddenly spoke: "Convey two things to me. First, tell those people that our Qin Dynasty does not need to secretly dynasty. Second, King Xiaoyao is the king of our Qin country, and his affairs are my affairs."
After that, he flicked his sleeves and drank tea by himself.
The two sick men's expressions were slightly stagnant, but they did not reply and bowed to say goodbye.
To be honest, Jiang Fan was a little confused when the empress suddenly spoke. After thinking about it, an unusual light appeared in his eyes.
After the two people's team walked away, Zhang Zhiling looked at the empress thoughtfully, and then glared at Jiang Fan: "Boy, you can do it!"
Only then did Jiang Fan laugh, "Hey, aren't I just adapting to circumstances? The boss must not want to go back to Taiyue. There must be a reason..."
Zhang Zhiling sighed and shook his head: "I chose a good time, and I've got your way."
Jiang Fan stood up and bowed three times solemnly: "Disciple, pay homage to the master."
Zhang Zhiling pointed at him, somewhat speechless.
Jiang Fan said seriously: "Zaifu has a great influence on Jiang Fan. I really sincerely want to become my disciple. I hope you will always accept me as my disciple."
Zhang Zhiling put down his hand and smiled bitterly: "I beg you, why are you talking about this? Even if I don't accept it, those old guys from Taiyue and Dazhou won't believe it."
"Master is transparent," Jiang Fan said seriously.
Zhang Zhiling was both dumbfounded and dumbfounded: "You lazy person... no wonder my husband said you are not a good person."
Husband loses? It means that the public has lost to the old patriarch. But the problem is that when I met the old patriarch, I didn't know Zhang Zaifu yet, that is to say, they had met after meeting Zhang Zaifu in Linjiang Pavilion. But if that's the case, why is the old patriarch still playing riddles with him about the land of pines and cypresses?
