Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh: "You know the righteousness of the nation, you are a passionate man, you have devoted your youth and are willing to lurk among the enemy for more than twenty years. It is definitely not something ordinary people can do."
Zeng Jing was not without pride, brushing her beard and smiling: "Although both sons are incompetent, they are worthy of the family and the country."
The prince also said: "Not long ago, Zeng Xi secretly sent a message saying that King Youxian has approached you to discuss cooperation."
Jiang Fan smiled lightly: "Not bad."
Zeng Jing sighed: "Fortunately, I was so angry at the time that I almost thought that you, a little bastard, had betrayed your family and country by taking advantage of your own interests. Later, when I figured out what was going on, I realized that I couldn't keep up with your kid's thinking. This The move is cruel enough. If God could have given birth to you Ji Pingan earlier, why would I, the Great Zhou, be like this? Why would I be like this..."
The prince smiled and said: "Don't say you are old, I can't keep up with you. This boy is a person blessed by God. You and I can't compare. I hope that God will still care for me this time when I enter the underground palace, and I will have the remaining strength of my Great Zhou Dragon Veins to help me. .”
Zeng Jing nodded: "Only a few people know about this matter, but everyone has their own desires, so no one will expose it. Everything depends on the opportunity of the underground palace, kid, be careful."
Jiang Fan said: "Is there any news from Third Emperor Uncle?"
Zeng Jing snorted: "Imperial uncle? He is worthy! Although this son seems to be handsome and majestic, he has a gloomy mind and a narrow-minded mind. He only cares about climbing to the top. He has no overall situation in mind and cannot achieve success."
The prince shook his head: "Not necessarily. My third brother is indeed talented and courageous. It is not unreasonable for my father to choose him. In fact, if my wife and son have not encountered a big change, what if I really give them up to him?"
Zeng Jing snorted: "But my Ping'an'er is still alive, and he is the direct descendant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so it's not his turn!"
The prince sighed: "Uncle, do you think Dazhou can be saved?"
Zeng Jing waved her hand: "What kind of words are you talking about? If you don't mention your majesty today, you, father and son, are both great men and women of your generation. Do we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, still have no hope of revival?"
Ji Zongyi just shook his head slightly, but did not argue.
But Jiang Fan could see that Zeng Jing, like many elders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, still maintained the status of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the prince obviously did not want to argue too much.
Of course Jiang Fan would not say anything, but in his heart, like Ji Zongyi, he understood that history was moving forward. The Great Zhou Dynasty was out of date and should withdraw from the stage of history and be replaced by a more advanced one.
But it is really sad that the Millennium Zhou Dynasty is really on its last legs. The consequences of the enfeoffment have resulted in the Zhou Dynasty having no real power. Without the barrel of a gun, it is impossible to make a comeback.
He knew that the prince didn't want to talk about it, so he brought the topic back: "Huang Quan Zong, is he Gui Shuai?"
Ji Zongyi nodded: "Yes, Ghost Commander Tu Xiao."
Finally getting the accurate answer, Jiang Fan took a deep breath: "I want to know the cause and effect of this matter."
The prince thought for a moment and said, "That's all. I'm afraid you will have to face this person soon. You should know about this."
Ghost Commander, whose name is Tu Xiao, is one of the three commanders in the imperial court under Taishi Wenren Zhongda. At that time, the three commanders in the imperial court were fighting among themselves, and Commander Long joined forces with Commander Demon to attack Commander Ghost. It was rumored that Commander Ghost had died, Commander Demon was missing, and Commander Long was seriously injured. The grand master Wenren Zhongda was completely disheartened and abandoned the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, this intermediate process is not so simple.
The matter can be traced back to the last years of Xianzong. At that time, Dazhou had already taken refuge in Taiyue. Although Xianzong worked hard for decades, he was unable to reverse the trend. He was old and had no choice but to start thinking about his future.
In addition to arranging the hand after the big week's revival, the passing issue is the top priority, which will be directly related to the trend after the big week.
At that time, Xianzong had two sons. The prince was tough and decisive, while the second son, King An, was weak. At that time, the ghost commander supported the prince, and the devil commander supported King An. But Long Shuai only obeyed Xianzong's arrangements.
After careful consideration, Xianzong knew deeply that the coming period would be a dark period for the Great Zhou Dynasty. He would have to rely on Taiyue to survive, and he would have to face the most powerful Wei at the time, who already had a disloyal heart, and Northern Xinjiang in the middle. The barbarians are ready to move. The most terrible thing is that An Zong always feels that there is a giant hand covering the sky above the clouds pushing everything.
Xianzong believed that if Zhou wanted to survive at this time, he should not be too tough. In particular, although the prince is strong, his talent is only above average. If such a person has a domineering personality, the Great Zhou Dynasty will easily collapse.
Therefore, Xianzong planned to let his second son, King An, succeed him. Everyone knows that King An is weak and has no great talent. However, this kind of character allows Da Zhou to find peace in the face of grievances, and then place his hope in future generations.
However, how could the prince agree? Finally, the prince's sword pointed at King An. In desperation, Xianzong asked Long Shuai and Demon Shuai to join forces to deal with the prince's strongest assistant, Gui Shuai Tu Xiao.
After a bloody storm, the prince fled and King An succeeded to the throne, known as Anzong in the world.
But the three commanders completely fell apart. After the first battle, the Ghost Commander died, the Demon Commander escaped, and the Long Commander went into seclusion.
But in fact, the Ghost Commander did not die, but moved to Nanling to establish the Huangquan Sect. Since then, he has left the imperial court and established his own school.
Unfortunately, this matter was only known to a few people much later.
And within it, there is deeper water.
After several investigations, the prince believed that the ghost commander had not betrayed, and that the dispute between the three commanders was actually An Zong's method to hide the power of the Zhou Dynasty and seek safety through weakness.
Long Shuai went into seclusion to hide, Demon Shuai went into seclusion to hide, and Ghost Shuai should have received An Zong's secret order to guard the dragon veins that were closely related to the national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Perhaps because of this, Gui Shuai finally built a city in Fengdu, Chongshan County, just opposite Longtou.
But this is just one of the speculations. There is also a speculation that after the prince escaped, he did not die and reunited with the ghost commander to regain the throne. But there has been no movement for decades. Compared with the first possibility of having the Demon Commander as evidence, this second possibility has been reduced to a minimum.
As for the real situation, I'm afraid only Gui Shuai himself can tell clearly.
Jiang Fan listened and felt really emotional. The Chinese New Year weekend was so ups and downs and so cloudy.
"Tu Xiao's Netherworld Underworld Kung Fu was already close to perfection back then, which was very terrifying. But during these long years, if he was still alive, he would have advanced to an unimaginable level. Facing him, you must be careful and careful. After all, we don't know What are his real intentions?"
The prince warned cautiously.
Jiang Fan nodded cautiously: "So, is the Underworld Army still there?"
The prince thought deeply: "The Underworld Army was classified as a rebel army at the time. After being dispersed, they disappeared. However, my father suspected that they were the Underworld Army today. I still don't believe that the Underworld Army will truly disappear."
Jiang Fan now had a very big question: "Back then, the imperial court had at least Wenren Taishi and three legions. Why was the Great Zhou Dynasty still in such decline?"
The prince sighed: "It's useless, in name only, but the three legions directly under the imperial court are more like decorations, and they don't actually have much strength. Even if there are outstanding people like Grand Master Wenren, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw..."
