Jiang Fan snorted softly: "You don't need to push me, Prime Minister. Mrs. Tian can be said to be a Jianghu person, but she is also one of the hundreds of schools of thought. She is the leader of a farmer, and she is not comparable to ordinary Jianghu people."
Zhang Yi just shook his head: "As the prince said, Mrs. Tian is just a guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion and is not bound by the Prime Minister's Mansion. This person may have a grudge against Mr. Jiang, but she has already left. Yi is somewhat helpless."
Jiang Fan frowned: "The majestic Qilin Prime Minister should not lie."
Zhang Yi said: "This person had a big quarrel with me a few months ago and left angrily. Many people in the prime minister's office know about this. With my identity, how can I be pretentious about such a trivial matter?"
Jiang Fan said coldly: "Master, what do you mean, Jiang is a little pretentious?"
Zhang Yi smiled slightly: "The prince has just been assassinated, so it is inevitable that he will be sensitive. Zhang Yi has no intention of doing so. What's more... you and I are both from Taiyue."
"Oh? Mr. Xiang also knows that you and I came from Taiyue together. Your servant is quite courageous."
Zhang Yi said: "The Jianghu People's Committee is really difficult to control. The truth is that I never imagined that he would be so bold. If the prince needs it, Zhang Yi can issue a document to arrest him and bring him to justice."
Jiang Fan snorted: "Then there is Prime Minister Lao. You are the prime minister and can hold a boat, but I can't. You know I am not very popular, so I will remember this."
"It doesn't matter, Zhang Yi is willing to help, I wonder if the prince...is going to die or live?"
"Of course he is alive. I want to know where this person got the confidence to take action against me!"
Zhang Yi nodded: "In this case, Zhang Yi will pay more attention and inform the prince if there are any clues. However, Mrs. Tian is just a incidental matter, and Zhao Tuo is the key. I wonder if I will leave it to the young master to handle it, will I be satisfied?"
Jiang Fan looked at him: "A man from the Xia Kingdom assassinated the regent of the Qin Kingdom. Did I just say that his special status was in vain? The prime minister's memory is not very good."
Zhang Yi was not angry at all: "My lord, please don't worry, I have arrangements on behalf of the Xia Kingdom. I wonder if I can talk to my lord alone later?"
The King of Xia also smiled and said: "Prime Minister Zhang is the Prime Minister of our Xia Kingdom, and he can fully represent me. Mr. Jiang, don't worry."
Jiang Fan nodded slightly: "In that case, Jiang will have a chat with Mr. Xiangguo. I hope both parties will be happy."
King Xia immediately stood up slowly and smiled: "I also have some state affairs to deal with. When Mr. Jiang gets better, I will have a drink with you. Apart from anything else, Jiang Chen admires Mr. Jiang very much. Literary talent.”
Jiang Fan said: "The king is well-known, but it's just not as famous as meeting him. I'm afraid Jiang will be very disappointing to the king."
King Xia waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."
Jiang Fan said, "I don't have a very broad mind, do you? I hope that His Highness, the Crown Prince, will not be like this king."
King Xia waved his hand casually: "Jiang Luo is not young, he tends to be aggressive and aggressive, and he acts impulsively. What happened before was all a child's transgression and offense. I still lack discipline. It's rare that Mr. Jiang doesn't care about it. The king will make amends to the young master on his behalf."
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him: "Your Majesty... you are so generous."
King Xia said: "It's just a matter of fact. Mr. Jiang and Prime Minister Zhang will talk slowly. The sincerity of our Xia Kingdom will surely satisfy Mr. Jiang."
After that, he nodded slightly, said goodbye and left.
Jiang Fan did not stand up to see him off, but when he saw King Xia leaving, he suddenly smiled and looked at Zhang Yi: "No wonder you chose the Kingdom of Xia."
Zhang Yi said: "What do you think?"
Without anyone else around, the two of them quickly fell into a rhythm.
"Be patient and keep a low profile, with a great city in mind."
"Isn't it the case that weakness is conducive to control?"
Jiang Fan chuckled: "Qilin Prime Minister shouldn't say this. But... Qilin, the one who is protecting him should be a real dragon..."
Zhang Yi responded casually: "King Xia, doesn't it look like this? Who among the princes, generals and ministers in this world is born?"
Jiang Fan shook his head and smiled, but didn't say much on this matter.
"How about the Prime Minister tell me how to compensate. My letter has been sent long ago, and the Prime Minister doesn't want to see something he doesn't want to see at this time."
Zhang Yi nodded: "My father once taught me when I was young: Don't ignore things because they are small, and don't ignore people because they are insignificant. Today, Zhang Yi understands it deeply. Zhao Tuo almost put me in danger in Daxia. It's really It’s so unpredictable.”
"It seems you should listen more to Master's teachings."
Zhang Yi lifted up her robe and sat down, looked at Jiang Fan and said, "I'm really curious. You probably didn't instigate this matter. After all, the Zhao family has a deep hatred for you, and with your intelligence, it's even more impossible for you to do something senseless at such a time." It's a very meaningful thing. But it just happened. Is it just stupidity or is it just a coincidence?"
Jiang Fan said: "It's a coincidence. You also understand that Qin is not suitable for war at the moment, and this matter is meaningless to me. I am also very wronged."
Zhang Yi smiled: "But I always feel a little weird, why do you think this is?"
"You are a person who plots every day, it's a problem." Jiang Fan said unceremoniously.
"Ah - is that so? Okay." Zhang Yi nodded: "You have also met King Xia as you wished, and successfully left him with a petty image of revenge. Now you can talk about business."
"All ears."
"Zhao Tuo's family of five hundred will be handed over to you. This is one. Second, the Xia Kingdom has liberalized the trade barriers of the twelve border states and halved the taxes on Lishan goods."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Let's make do. You also know that it doesn't matter whether it is opened or not, unless you want to kill all the Xia merchants doing business with Lishan with one stick. But halving the tax will have some effect."
Zhang Yi said: "That's almost it. This is because of this accident. Otherwise, the prince knows very well that Zhang will not let the prince enter and exit our Xia Kingdom so easily. If Zhang takes action, the prince will not have the opportunity to negotiate terms like this." .”
Jiang Fan actually agreed: "So, luck seems to be on my side."
"Is it luck or what? I'd better consider the truth carefully before saying." Zhang Yi said calmly.
Jiang Fan glanced at him: "I told you that you think too much, and you always feel that I have ulterior motives. But in fact, Mr. Zhang, think about it for yourself, is there ever a time between the two of us that it wasn't you? Are you taking the initiative to plan your plans, while I'm reacting passively?"
Zhang Yi said: "What you say seems reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you often cross the line, and the truth is often not directed at you."
"It's meaningless to say this. It's just as important to me as it is to Qin. In the end, Prime Minister Zhang, it's all about our own interests. Wouldn't you just ignore it?"
"Agree." Zhang Yi said two words briefly.
"Let's say third." Jiang Fan said with a smile.
Zhang Yi said: "I won't mention this third... truth. Since we have reached this point, why not be more generous and ask the prince to make some conditions?"
