He pointed at the edict: "Look at what they wrote, saying that you must understand the righteousness, obey the teachings, and serve the world. To understand the righteousness, in other words, to change the evil and return to the right, do you understand? The meaning is very clear. You are just a big monster, but I have a broad mind and will give you a chance to be a new person."
"So, if I don't obey, I will never repent..."
Zhang Zhiling smiled and said: "In the future, one of the ten major crimes will be added, disobedience, disobedience, and disrespect. It will be more and more justifiable to kill you."
"But from my point of view, no one else would be able to accept the edict. Wouldn't that be self-destroying the city or even seeking death?"
Zhang Zhiling smiled and said: "That's why they are like this. Whether they accept it or not will give you a headache."
Jiang Fan looked at the edict: "It's quite a headache. King Zhenxi... I remember that this king existed..."
"Yes, when the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world, they established the four kings of east, west, south, north and west respectively, and the King of Zhenxi. The full name is the King of Zhenxi Tianwang, which means that the Great Zhou guards the western frontier."
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes: "Western Border, the land of Great Qin..."
Zhang Zhiling said: "That's right. But this envoy has the same purpose. He is the envoy set up by the Taiyue family. To put it bluntly, he is the imperial envoy of Taiyue. It has the same role as the Saint of Taihua, but the only difference is that , the Saint of the State is more of a title, while the Supervisor of the State really wants to report state affairs to Taiyue."
Jiang Fan suddenly said: "The Holy Maiden of Taihua and the Holy Envoy of Taiyue, this is their Mingzi who monitors the five countries."
Zhang Zhiling nodded: "So, do you understand?"
Jiang Fan couldn't help but shake his head: "What a dog."
"It's true that the Zhou Dynasty and Taiyue do not recognize Your Majesty as the Qin Emperor. Instead, they inexplicably want to canonize you as the King of the West and the Supervisor of the Country. The intention is self-evident."
"Grandma!" Jiang Fan couldn't help but spat: "This is deliberately trying to create a gap between me and Xiao Cui. But are they stupid? How could I rebel against Xiao Cui?"
Zhang Zhiling shook his head: "Boy, do you think they are so stupid? No, this thing has two functions. One is a seed. Once this seed is planted, sooner or later it will take root and sprout, and maybe it will explode at a certain time. Second, show it to the world. What do you think the outside world will guess?"
Jiang Fan suddenly realized, "How can I see it? This is because Taiyou and Zhou Ting want to support me. Obviously, many people with ulterior motives will pay attention to me."
"Not only will you pay attention to it, but it will also spread. Eventually, it will form an undercurrent that will unknowingly push you to the opposite side of His Majesty."
Jiang Fan said: "It's really disgusting, but what if I always insist on not opposing Xiaocui?"
Zhang Zhiling smiled and said: "Does it matter what you think? How do you think Lord Shang died?"
Jiang Fan sighed and fully understood that although King Hui did not want to kill Shang Jun, in the face of the general situation, he could only choose to sacrifice him.
"Dog, what a dog." Jiang Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly and curled his lips: "Can you think of a proper way to push it away?"
Zhang Zhiling said: "You have to think about it first. The five kingdoms are all kings of the Zhou Dynasty in name. Although this empty edict has no practical effect, for the sake of balance and to find some necessary status, everyone chose to remain appropriate. If you are respectful, otherwise you are rebelling, then do it to others. When the Four Kingdoms conquered Qin, wasn't the high-sounding slogan given by the Zhou Dynasty? For this reason, regardless of whether it is a yin and a yang, it doesn't matter, or it is regarded as nothing. They will accept the edict in name only."
Jiang Fan scratched his head: "That's right, what about Taiyue? They have never recognized Your Majesty, and I, the supervisor of the country, can't explain it at all."
"Taiyue is the same as Zhou Ting, except that he has a higher status. As for whether it can be passed or not, what does it matter? If you want to accept the edict, explain that you have other ideas. Taiyue will be happy with it. If you don't accept it, it will be just what you want. The seeds have been planted anyway, and your accusation of disrespecting the Holy Land and bringing trouble to the world has become more and more solid since then."
Jiang Fan smacked his lips: "Indeed, as the master said, some things don't matter whether they make sense or not, whether they are reasonable or not. This is just a game of power, and it is good to achieve the goal. It seems that the time to test me is coming."
"Yes, do you accept the imperial edict, or do you not accept it? After accepting the edict, you will go to Taiyue to pay homage to the imperial court and thank you for your kindness. If Taiyue agrees to the Emperor's request and grants you the title of Supervisor of the Country, you will be the envoy to the country from now on. You must report state affairs to Taiyue. If you don't do so, you will naturally be openly hostile to the imperial court and Taiyue, and you will lose your honor in the righteousness."
Jiang Fan thought for a moment: "I thought about it, it doesn't matter whether they follow it or not. As long as they have done this, as the teacher said, the seed has been planted. That's enough..."
Zhang Zaifu brushed his beard and said: "Yes, we can see the essence. Although it doesn't seem to be of much use at the moment, it is the right time to add chaos, add obstruction, and lay a foreshadowing. Who asked your kid to take over as the regent."
Jiang Fan couldn't help but complain: "Grandma, it's really a good time. I happened to do some messy things again."
Zhang Zhiling looked at him with a deep look on his face: "There is something, have you ever thought about it... This matter is only half of the matter so far. Emperor Zhou's move can be described as half truth and half lie."
Jiang Fan was stunned: "Half truth and half false?" Zhang Zhiling's words made him instantly moved.
Zhang Zhiling said slowly: "I just said that Da Zhou has never explicitly accused you, so if Emperor Zhou really has this intention, what do you think?"
Jiang Fan instantly fell into deep thought. If he really meant it, that is to say, Emperor Zhou's move was not only to divide him and Xiaocui, but also had more purposes. From his point of view, what makes him act like this?
He couldn't figure it out for a while.
Zhang Zhiling said calmly: "The Emperor of Zhou is Ming Ting..."
One sentence was like lightning flashing across Jiang Fan's mind.
"...Yes..." He murmured: "Mingting, Anchao... You have been emphasizing the regent just now. Since I became the regent, I have been in clear opposition to Anchao... How could Emperor Zhou not understand Anchao? Restoration Heart, people like me...it seems like they really need..."
Zhang Zhiling said: "Do you understand?"
Jiang Fan took a long breath, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master, for your advice."
"The Emperor of Zhou clearly understood that if you really follow the imperial edict, it can really be used. The Imperial Court of Zhou Dynasty has regarded the Feng family as a thorn in their side for hundreds of years, and their precautions against them are better than those of the Five Kingdoms.
Especially...those old guys in Taiyue are restless. Do you think they are just supporting Dazhou? No, this empty shell is only nominally useful now. Anchao is another pawn of Taiyue, and the old guys have never given up their support for Anchao. The Great Zhou Dynasty is now declining, but the Feng family is becoming more and more high-profile. Emperor Zhou is increasingly worried that Taiyue will shift its center of gravity and rely on the Feng family to restore the world. At this time, if you appear openly hostile to the secret dynasty, you will naturally become the target of Emperor Zhou. "
Jiang Fan became more enlightened and truly admired this teacher. Apart from anything else, his in-depth insights and familiarity with Taiyue and Dazhou are things that he does not possess yet.
"So, if I really obey the imperial edict, this King of Zhenxi will also be true. But, can't Taiyue see the deep meaning of Emperor Zhou?"
