"So, the location in your story should be Longjiang Water Transport Fortress, Jing'an!"
Jiang Fan said: "Here, in the Kingdom of Jin, no one would have thought that Zhang Yi had already started planning since the neighboring prince's disastrous defeat in establishing the crown prince. And what he wants to do is from here..."
Zhang Zhiling was horrified: "Drawing the enemy's army into the country?"
Jiang Fan said in a deep voice: "A place that no one can expect will definitely catch you by surprise. And the Generalissimo of the Army cannot escape the blame..."
Zhang Zhiling said: "This so-called enemy country is Southern Chu."
Jiang Fan said: "Yes, the reason why he continued to spare no effort to support the neighboring prince when he lost power is because he has the advantage of the geographical location..."
"Then, in the end, we need one person and that is the partner you mentioned."
"Yes, it is obvious that it is the enemy country, Nanchu. He wants to make way for the eldest prince who is eager to stand up, allowing the enemy country to enter through here, and ruining the reputation of the generalissimo. This kind of guilt is too great..."
"Even if you don't die, it will be difficult to participate in the battle for military power..." Zhang Zhiling sighed.
"No, he must die as the generalissimo, and he must have no worries at all. I originally thought like you, but until I heard the news about Crown Prince Jiang Luo's marriage to the Jin Kingdom, I finally understood that this was a dead end. Because, To suddenly want to marry Jin when this ally has collapsed, it can only mean that he has ulterior motives. The crown prince Jiang Luo is just a tool kept in the dark. What really wants King Xia to see is Zhou Anshi The generalissimo is using the old and new factions to unite, and his fundamental purpose is to unite Jin, and then use the road to lure Chu into Xia, with the intention of...conspiracy!"
As soon as the word "rebellion" came out, the two of them fell into silence at the same time, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop to freezing point.
Jiang Fan's heart was churning. He was not only horrified by Zhang Yi's methods, but also horrified by his character. In order to achieve his goal, he even did not hesitate to lure the wolf into the house.
This technique is a bit familiar. It is the usual trick of the Supreme Emperor Ying Pei, but it is a hundred times more clever.
After a long time, Jiang Fan sighed softly: "What a great Qilin Prime Minister! Your son is amazing."
Zhang Zhiling stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "When I was a child, I felt that although this son was smart, he was a bit gloomy and unscrupulous in doing things. Once, in order to obtain a volume of Buddhist scriptures, he actually planned to make a local wealthy family go against the temple. Both sides suffered losses, with more than twenty people killed or injured, but he benefited from it and got the book. That year, he was only eight years old..."
Jiang Fan had goosebumps all over his body. This is the real evil genius. He is just because there is a soul that spans time and space hidden under his body, but Zhang Yi is the out-and-out wise man!
"...Since then, I have felt that this boy's heart is really ruthless, so I thought of letting the Buddhist masters train him, so I sent him to the Great Buddha Temple to try to resolve the anger in his heart..."
It suddenly dawned on Jiang Fan, no wonder Zhang Yi and the Northern Buddha Sect were so familiar, and no wonder the Northern Buddha Sect looked up to him. It turned out that there was a connection between them.
Zhang Zhiling was very regretful: "I never thought that the Great Buddha Temple would not only fail to follow my wishes, but would instead transfer him to Guigu. This Guigu's vertical and horizontal technique seemed to be tailor-made for him. Since then, it has grown rapidly, and there is no trace of it." In a few years, he became a contemporary disciple of Guigu... After that, he joined the world, climbed Mount Tai, entered the Zhou Dynasty, and rose to prominence."
Jiang Fan only heard about these things and knew the general context, but he didn't know the real process.
"What happened next? Why did you suddenly go into seclusion?"
Zhang Zaifu seemed to be quite troubled by this, and he said after a long time: "At that time, I was walking in Taiyue, and Zaifu of the Great Zhou Dynasty found it difficult to accept many of his techniques and political views, so he demoted him. He had a big quarrel with me and left angrily. , I have held a grudge since then, and swore that as long as I am alive, I will never come back, saying...this is my last filial piety..."
He said it simply, but Jiang Fan understood that it must have gone through a very intense process. With Zhang Yi's character, he probably did something that Zhang Zhiling could not accept at all.
"I retired to seclusion, and Yi'er came back. I just didn't expect that Taiyue would actually confer him a walk in the world. Alas... the wind may have changed..."
"It seems that your son's character has not changed, he is still so vicious."
Zhang Zhiling obviously couldn't calm down when his son did such a thing.
"Setting up false accusations, luring wolves into the house, subverting the imperial court, and your character is even better than before."
"All of this is to make himself more powerful. Perhaps the Crown Prince Jiang Luo saw this and opposed him. Doesn't he... want too much power..."
Zhang Zhiling shook his head: "I think it's not enough. His purpose is not just this. How can a mere Xia Kingdom satisfy his appetite? Or..."
"Five Kingdoms and the World." Jiang Fan said softly: "Controlling the Five Kingdoms and subverting the structure of the world is probably his purpose."
Zhang Zhiling sighed and said nothing for a long time. After a cup of tea cooled down, he sighed and said: "How can the world let people like this make trouble..."
Jiang Fan was quite touched, but he also felt Zhang Zhiling's mood. After all, he was his biological son. His words made Jiang Fan feel his thoughts, but he also felt the deep sadness and pain. But I don't know how to comfort him.
Zhang Zhiling looked at his expression, but smiled slowly and patted his shoulder gently: "My child, fortunately there are people like you in this world, so we won't let jackals run rampant. If you have a chance... take care of him for me. Bar……"
Jiang Fan was stunned: "Master, do you think so little of him?"
Zhang Zhiling looked indifferent: "There is no better son than a father. He doesn't want to govern the country and bring peace to the world. You don't know what he has done... His lifelong ambition is to go against the old man's way. He wants the world to be full of bloodshed. He needs his manipulation skills." Invincible and worldly. This is his goal, paranoid and crazy.
But you are different from him. You have established your mind for the heaven and the earth, established your destiny for the living and the people, carried on the unique knowledge of the past saints, and created peace for the world. After hearing these four words, I know your nature. And you, rising to the occasion, will have to fight Zhang Yi sooner or later. Therefore, I beg you to be my master. "
Jiang Fan was slightly frightened: "Master, are you...really willing to give up?"
Zhang Zhiling said: "Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, so I can't help you. So, I can only do it for you, my disciple. If possible...save him alive."
Jiang Fan sighed in his heart, how disappointed a father must be with his son to say such a thing.
"Master, don't worry...it's just that I may not be able to defeat him."
Zhang Zhiling smiled: "You, don't belittle yourself, didn't Yi'er lose to you before?"
Jiang Fan smiled bitterly: "That's because he didn't notice me at all. In his eyes at that time, Emperor Qin was Wushuang."
Zhang Zhiling said, "Back then, you and he had different starting points and resources, so we won brilliantly. This time, he thought he was strategizing, but you noticed it so lightly. I admire him very much."
