Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "Really?"
The empress stared at him: "What if it's true?"
Jiang Fan frowned: "You promised to help you unify the world, so you won't torment me anymore, and you can't go back on your word."
The empress was stunned for a moment, and became very confused again: "How can there be royal descendants like you in the world?"
Jiang Fan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Let me tell you, you are better than me in conquering and ruling the world. Just look at my abilities. How can I be a king? If there is a day, I will be The Human Emperor is probably a coward, and going to court is torture to me. I will definitely abandon the court to go fishing and travel, what is he if he is not a coward?"
The empress shook her head slightly: "You don't love Jiangshan... It seems that you have another kind of thought that is entangled. Although it is hidden deeply, you are still aloof from everything in the world. I can still see it. Where do you want to go?"
Jiang Fan was lost in thought for a moment: "Do you think that after walking in this world for a few years, I will step into Kunlun and seek immortality for immortality?"
"It cannot be ruled out that Kunlun is Kunlun after all." The empress said honestly.
Jiang Fan lowered his head and thought for a long time, but finally smiled slightly: "There are still forty-five years left, why are you anxious..."
The empress didn't push him anymore, she stood up and said: "There is something urgent, Dragon Vein Underground Palace."
Jiang Fan raised his head, his eyes burning: "Yes, it's time to make arrangements. I will complete the preparations within a day or two. But there is another matter, which is also urgent."
"You mean, about the five crown princes?"
Jiang Fan nodded: "Our family doesn't have one, so it doesn't represent the other four countries. Especially Wei..."
"Cao Zijian's movements are still too slow," the empress said.
Jiang Fan nodded: "I finally understand...there is such a deep-seated reason why King Wei initiated this assassination of me."
The empress said: "It is understandable that he wants to cut off Cao Zijian's strongest supporter. After all, you are from Qin, and your support for him only made the King of Wei more conflicted."
Jiang Fan let out a long breath: "Yes, as you said, things change so fast. Sometimes I take things for granted."
"What are you going to do?"
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment: "This is also one of my ideas to let the 100,000 Yuzhou Army take advantage of the road and let Gaoqi station troops on the Qin and Wei border to intimidate the King of Wei and prevent him from making a decision easily."
"What should I do if I get forced into a panic by you?"
Jiang Fan said slowly: "We are afraid of this, so we really can't use force in advance. And Cao Ying is pregnant at this time, so the King of Wei will definitely take the opportunity to change his generals, and his control over the fourteen cities on the northern border of Wei will obviously be Weakened soon..."
"If time is not with you, Cao Zijian and Cao Yingshang are no match for Cao Yuan. The only way is war."
Jiang Fan understood that only by launching a war against the Wei State could the King of Wei surrender to the enemy, and did not dare to touch Cao Zijian without permission. However, this is not in line with Qin's mid-term national policy.
The empress looked at him, frowning in deep thought, and said slowly, "You actually have an idea in your mind, but you're not sure if it's right or not."
Jiang Fan raised his head: "Well, it has to be you. I want to... trade."
"Chips?"
"Alliance country." Jiang Fan thought for a long time and finally uttered three words.
"The price is high. Qin's support of Wei as the leader of the alliance will bring great opportunities to Wei. Is it worth it?"
Jiang Fan thought deeply: "Originally I didn't dare, but now that the prince is in charge of the prison, and I, maybe I can also get the privilege of being the prince..."
"You're useless for a short time, but the prince is very capable."
"If Cao Zijian is made the crown prince, we will support him as the leader of the alliance." Jiang Fan said thoughtfully.
The empress said: "Cao Yuan will raise troops."
Jiang Fan's eyes were sharp: "This is what I want. If he doesn't raise an army, my father and I will encourage him to raise an army. As long as he dares to seize power from my father, King Wei will definitely not tolerate him given his character."
"You want to take this opportunity to force him to a desperate end?"
Jiang Fan nodded: "We are going to make a five-year plan, and Wei is the first to be calm. For us right now, it is much more important than Xia and Chu far in the south."
"If Cao Yuan doesn't move, what will you do?"
Jiang Fandao: "While consolidating Cao Zijian's position, unite Jin, Chu, and the prince to suppress Wei."
The empress suddenly looked at him: "Do you think King Wei can also see it?"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then took a breath: "You mean, King Wei, intends to be the leader of the alliance?"
The empress nodded: "It's just a crown prince. He can't just give up the throne. So what if he has Taiyue's endorsement? What kind of character does King Wei have? Besides, it's not difficult for him to do this."
Jiang Fan's expression suddenly trembled. The empress' words reminded him that the alliance of Qin and Jin was now forming a pincer attack on Wei, and the neighboring country Xia was even more hostile. There were still barbarians in the north, and the only ally Chu was beyond reach. It could be described as four battles. In this land, the fate of the country is dangerous, and the King of Wei certainly refuses to fall into passivity. The only way to fight out a bloody road is to fight, fight to form an alliance, rely on Taiyue, and use the imperial court. This may be the best way.
Taking a breath of air, Jiang Fan suddenly slapped his forehead: "Damn, I was almost misled by Tai Yue."
The empress said calmly: "Crown Prince, it's just about the future. Taiyue is radical. How can he only look at the long term? It's very likely that Taiyue is already secretly promoting this matter."
"Do you think Taiyue also prefers Wei?"
The empress shook her head: "Wei and Chu are both good choices, but Jin has just experienced war, is weak, and has an alliance with us, Great Qin, so it will definitely not be a target."
"Where is Xia Guo?"
The empress snorted softly: "It is not impossible for Taiyue to build a plank road secretly to Chencang and choose someone to support Chu and Wei, but the one who really supports him is Xia."
"It makes sense. The Xia Kingdom is in the middle and the country is rich. Moreover, the Xia Kingdom was founded by the Jiang family who rebelled against the imperial court. It is impossible for the Xia Kingdom to be connected with the imperial court..."
The more Jiang Fan talked about it, the more likely he felt it was possible.
"So, I should pay more attention to the allied countries, rather than the smoke screen of the crown prince..."
Jiang Fan finally figured out the relationship.
The empress said: "The King of Wei wants to establish Cao Yuan, so let him do it. Let's take this opportunity to let Cao Zijian and Cao Ying secretly accumulate strength. If Wei Guo gets that position, he will have no choice but to become the target of public criticism. As long as Cao Lao Er and Cao Ying Cao Ying can still make a comeback if he finds an opportunity."
"But if Cao Yuan gains power, he will definitely try to get rid of the two of them." Jiang Fan was still a little worried.
The empress looked at him: "No, there is only one person you are worried about, Cao Ying."
Jiang Fan sighed secretly, the empress understood clearly, and he suddenly thought clearly that Cao Yuan would not put Cao Ying on the list of must-kill women. The only competitor in his eyes was Cao Zijian.
While he was staring at Cao Zijian, Cao Ying could develop steadily.
Then, the opportunity Cao Ying is waiting for may be the start of the War of the Five Kingdoms. At that time, I may have to implement my true ideas...
As long as he continues to support Cao Zijian in this process, he can survive. This is politics, it is cruel, there is no best of both worlds.
However, his tangled temper flared up again, and he kept thinking about how to save Brother Jianren. After all, this person was quite good as a friend.
