Jiang Fan still looked indifferent and waved his hand: "Get up, it's not your fault, and there is no need to blame yourself. Daqin values the law and speaks with factual evidence. This is just a preliminary interrogation. Whether someone is indeed deliberately causing chaos has not yet been truly determined. You still have to Wait until the officers and soldiers find out the truth and make it known to the world."
"Your Majesty is generous, Your Majesty is generous..."
However, among the more than 200 people controlled by the officers and soldiers, someone suddenly stood up, broke away from the officers and soldiers, and even grabbed a knife across his neck: "Stupid! Jiang Fan didn't explain anything at all, and those officers and soldiers obviously didn't either. He is just an accomplice, sooner or later you will know the true identity of this beast, and I will use my blood to wake you up!"
After saying that, he stabbed himself to death.
There was another exclamation among the people. Unexpectedly, another person died at this time.
Zhao Gao was shocked, this guy was dead, but he reminded the people of Qin that the prince did not respond to anything. Although these people all see that there is a problem, the prince's problem will inevitably spread among the people as soon as this person reminds him.
The siege in front of them finally subsided temporarily under Zhao Gao's operation. But Jiang Fan, who returned to the car and continued to move forward, looked a little gloomy.
"My lord, those people must be deliberately causing trouble. You don't have to worry..."
Jiang Fan shook his head: "I'm not worried about them, I'm thinking about the people behind them. These people are obviously just pawns. Who wants to deal with me? It's not easy to use so many loyal ministers and generals' families..."
Zhao Gao said: "My lord, I will personally torture you when I go back. If you don't believe me, you can't follow the clues and find the mastermind behind the scenes."
Jiang Fan said: "It's not that easy... The problem now is that although the siege has been temporarily relieved, seeds of doubt are still planted in the hearts of many Qin people. The problem of the Supreme Emperor, the problem of loyal ministers and good generals, the problem of Lishan, and the problem of the princess of Wei , the problems of the Imperial Court and Taiyue, etc., these things will spread quickly secretly, and will definitely be used by people with intentions. And this person or organization behind the scenes not only wants to spread rumors and confuse the people, but may also want to light this fire and find All like-minded people come to target this king."
Zhao Gao was shocked: "He is trying to induce civil strife in Qin. The people will be suspicious of the prince and take the opportunity to entangle the opposition forces of Qin against you..."
Jiang Fan nodded: "If my guess is correct, this is just the beginning. Next, he will spread unfavorable information about me from all levels, and will continue to use various so-called evidences to expose my so-called true face, but in the middle There are many things that I cannot reveal the truth to the outside world."
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth: "This thief found a good opportunity to take advantage of the occasion of His Majesty's conferment to create the illusion that you are plotting against the Qin Dynasty."
Jiang Fan pinched his chin: "I think it's interesting. Why did Xiaocui announce her marriage to me in such a high-profile manner? Is she planning something, or is she aware of something..."
The courtroom obviously learned about what happened on the way, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
But the empress seemed to have nothing happened. She just looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Master Jiang, would you like to marry the emperor?"
He didn't call Jiang Qing's family, which was considered respectful. However, her blatant and unabashed behavior is indeed unruly, but this is the empress.
It was all agreed upon, so Jiang Fan naturally had no objections and his expression was very calm, making it difficult to tell what was going on in his heart.
Afterwards, the ceremony officials announced a series of arrangements for the engagement. Fortunately, things in Qin were not as cumbersome as those in Zhou Dynasty, and the overall steps were not complicated, but still grand.
Jiang Fan quickly figured it out, and without spending too much time in the court, Jiang Fan left with the empress.
What's interesting is that there were no objections in the court today, and the empress never mentioned the incident on Kaiyang Street.
Back at Zhangtai Palace, the two sat opposite each other and drank a few cups of tea without talking about anything.
It wasn't until lunch that Jiang Fan looked at the empress's simple diet and said with a smile: "Our family is rich, so we don't need to be so simple."
The empress said: "I'm used to it, why don't you go back and send two of the cooks at home."
"That's fine, eating comfortably makes people feel energetic."
The empress nodded and drank the soup.
Jiang Fan looked at her: "Why do we feel so calm this time? After all, it is a major event of marriage. If we achieve success, we should be a little bit happy."
The empress put down the small bowl: "Emotional matters are mixed with too many strategies, and no one else will be happy."
Jiang Fan rubbed his face: "Yes...how do you think Huangting and Taiyue will react?"
The empress said: "The imperial court will not object, and may even give some ritual objects. Taiyue... what do you think will happen?"
Jiang Fan thought for a while: "Most likely they will feel that they were fooled, but I'm afraid they can't understand why I had to supervise the national envoy since I married you. But I don't think they may take back their orders."
The empress said: "Taiyue doesn't want to be embarrassed. It doesn't look good to talk about something that you don't know. Besides, they don't understand what tricks you are playing at all, so they will definitely wait and see for a while before talking about it."
Jiang Fan snapped his fingers: "We see the same thing. Let them be confused for now. While there is time, let's think about the two things at hand."
The empress said: "The first thing is the Feng family. When news of the engagement spreads, the Feng family will definitely react immediately."
Jiang Fan said: "Do you think it is related to the second thing?"
The empress said: "We can't rule it out for the time being, but today's riot is not in line with the Feng family. Logically speaking, the first thing they should do is show their credentials and hold on to their righteousness first."
Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Is it possible that Gao Rong has already succeeded?"
The empress said: "That's still a bit unlikeable. The Feng family is arrogant. Even if they lose their credentials, they will definitely get the upper hand."
Jiang Fan said: "Could it be other forces in Qin State who don't want you and me to unite so much?"
The empress said: "There will be many people, but there must be one or a few big shots initiating it."
"So, do you think it's for me personally or for both of us?"
The empress pondered for a moment: "I don't rule out the idea of weakening me, but the action will only be against you personally. After all, no matter how far this matter is in the end, it can't do anything to me."
Jiang Fan said: "Qin is not a monolithic country. Do you have any ideas?"
The empress said: "No country can be completely monolithic, but with the great cause ahead, we must try our best to eliminate unfavorable factors and try to reduce them as much as possible. So..."
She looked at Jiang Fan: "If I use you as bait, I should be able to catch a lot of big fish..."
Jiang Fan said: "But this time, I don't think you think too much about it."
The empress was silent for a moment: "I owe you too much, I should give you something clean."
Jiang Fan suddenly took her hand: "We, after all, are different from ordinary couples. Since this is our life, it is a kind of romance to face it."
The empress' eyes were a little dazed: "Romantic..."
Jiang Fan smiled: "Yes, how many people in the world are worthy of such a unique romance?"
Slowly, the empress also raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Yes, our romance is the world's most popular one."
