King Xia has sent his eldest son Jiang Luo to Taiyue, but he still has six sons at home. It’s okay to have a headache. The old guy had no choice but to adopt a trick similar to King Wei’s. But in fact, the methods of the two parties were basically the same. Ji Zongyi's purpose of differentiation has been achieved.
Chu State is not doing much better either. Xiang Chen and Yu Qingcheng only have one son and one daughter. There is no need to consider the eldest daughter. The only son is only nine years old. It seems that it is not a big problem, but Xiang Chen has many brothers, and they are worried. In particular, Xiang Chen was headstrong and domineering, and they were worried about the future. If Xiang Chen took action first to clear the way for his son, they would be in big trouble. After all, they had learned from King Huai's mistakes, so they were a little uneasy.
In fact, the reason why the princes of the Four Kingdoms came to this conference was because they all rushed to confront the prince about this matter. However, they were caught off guard by the prince's sudden method and did not pay attention to it for a while. They originally wanted to put it on the table during the dinner. , as a result, Ji Zongyi was prepared and ran away in advance on the grounds of physical discomfort.
"Well." Ji Zongyi breathed out: "The wind direction on Taiyue's side has begun to show an overwhelming trend, and our side can't withstand it anymore. The crown prince's canonization is going smoothly, and the impact of the push will soon be greatly offset. The next step is …”
He hummed softly and said nothing. But Jiang Fan knew that the next step was naturally to be the leader of the Five Nations and the Holy Envoy of the Supervisor of the Country. Once this was successful, it would lay a solid foundation for the future regent and supervision of the country and the emptiness of the imperial court. At that time, the imperial court might not even have symbolic meaning. Can't keep it.
Jiang Fan thought deeply: "But your actions like rushing for the autumn harvest will definitely cause Taiyue to be extremely dissatisfied..."
Ji Zongyi nodded nonchalantly: "Of course I know, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction. They want to digest me, but they don't allow me to fight back? Believe me, they will not look down upon a cowardly and incompetent imperial court."
The empress said: "The prince's family is also dissatisfied."
Ji Zongyi said with a smile: "So, we didn't fight here just now? Although the third child was a little late-minded, he finally came to his senses and quickly sent men to attack this place. He knew that the attack would not succeed, so he showed Tai Yue his behavior. That’s all, I think Taiyue will strongly support Lao San in the future. It’s just..."
He said indifferently: "The imperial court is already in such a bad state. No matter how much support Taiyue supports, it will not change the world. Moreover, I will break up with them sooner or later, so why not take this opportunity to get more benefits for my great son? Hahaha, calculate the accounts carefully. Make a lot of money.”
This guy put his thighs on the armrests and lay lazily in the chair, drinking and having fun. His attitude was leisurely and he didn't seem to be worried at all.
Jiang Fan was a little worried: "Aren't you afraid that the old gangsters will take action against you and drive you out of office?"
Ji Zongyi curled his lips and said: "I'll go down as soon as I finish the work, but it's not done yet, so why do you think your grandpa is in seclusion?"
Jiang Fan stared at him and said seriously: "Old man, have you controlled His Majesty?"
Ji Zongyi waved his hand: "It's not accurate, it's better to say it's taking advantage. The old man is only thinking about the third child. He is just waiting for me to do something wrong, and then borrows Taiyue's power to push the third child to the top, and he can avoid falling into the position of useless elder." The excuse of establishing a young child is a good plan."
"So...you are taking advantage of his idea to simply take over and take drastic measures?"
"Isn't it a God-given opportunity? Otherwise, I would still be thinking about how to get out of the mountain in a decent way."
"But if you do this, aren't you given the opportunity? Why do you say it's not the right time yet?"
Ji Zongyi stretched out two fingers: "First, what we do is reasonable and compliant. From the perspective of the imperial court, there is no fault. If we insist on running, we will only kill the snake and leave consequences. What kind of person is your grandpa, this kind of thing cannot be completely eliminated?" He has nothing to do. Second, due to the overall external situation, four of the five countries cannot tolerate Taiyue stepping forward to decide the leader of the alliance. Whether they are willing or not, they must support the father's idea before they are absolutely sure, and the imperial court naturally We cannot forcefully go against the Four Kingdoms."
Jiang Fan thought about it and found that this was indeed the case. And judging from the follow-up, this problem will not be solved so easily for a while, and time can be delayed.
"Time, you do need time."
Ji Zongyi narrowed his eyes and looked at him, then at the empress: "Aren't you young couple just asking for time? What do you mean, the old man in the family is quite capable, right?"
Ji Zongyi always puts his family first in the world, which is really admirable. For a moment, Jiang Fan felt like he was his biological father. Finally, I took a deep breath and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
The empress also nodded slightly: "Thank you, Eunuch."
Ji Zongyi laughed loudly: "You two are quite good at designing, and you also have a five-year plan. It's interesting. There are still three years left in the second five-year plan, and dad gave it to you."
Jiang Fan and the empress looked at each other. He had never told Ji Zongyi about this matter, but everyone in the Qin Kingdom knew about this, so it was normal to hide it. However, he never expected that Ji Zongyi would cooperate so decisively.
But... this is really good, very good. Only after the second five-year plan can be delayed, the two of them have a basic grasp of the big plan. Originally they thought they would have to fight to support war, but it was not as safe as this.
Three years, three precious years.
"You can see clearly that we really need it now." Jiang Fan said seriously.
Ji Zongyi nodded: "I'm not blind. I'm afraid the two of you are more passionate than ever before. The future will be a war sweeping the world. The consumption is staggering. It's difficult to make it without sufficient preparations. But Qin has experienced a war and needs vitality. It will take time to recover and realize your wonderful knowledge, and it will take even more time for you two to plan the world."
But there was something in Jiang Fan's eyes when he looked at him, as if he was asking about his plans for Qin and the Empress...
I secretly sighed in my heart. In this regard, the prince still made a mistake, but it would be the same for anyone else. Who would have thought of his true identity and origin? The starting point was simply wrong...
"However, things in the world are ever-changing, so you must not take it lightly." Ji Zongyi warned with a smile.
Both of them nodded.
"You also have to be careful. You have taken away the opportunity of that old woman Xia. I am afraid that the Xia Kingdom and even the Jiang family will hold a grudge." Jiang Fan also solemnly warned the prince.
Ji Zongyi nodded repeatedly: "I know, I have already taken precautions against the Jiang clan, but speaking of them, they are indeed taking action..."
Jiang Fan suddenly remembered a person: "Jiang Zhan?"
Ji Zongyi was a little surprised: "Okay, why did you think of him directly?"
Jiang Fan said: "As for the leader of the Jiang clan, he is the best swordsman in Longmen and the best swordsman in the world. Given the overall situation of the world, if he is given the choice, he will definitely side with his clan."
Ji Zongyi patted his thigh: "It's okay. The Jiang clan has seen that the world is about to change. This is an opportunity. They have long been unwilling to succumb to others. The old guy Jiang Zhan has been quiet for decades, and finally he can't help it anymore. but……"
He smiled strangely: "Jiang Zhan...someone has to deal with him."
