Chapter 899 The Emperor Zhou's Deep Intentions

He pointed at the edict: "Look at what they wrote, saying that you must understand the righteousness, obey the teachings, and serve the world. To understand the righteousness, in other words, to change the evil and return to the right, do you understand? The meaning is very clear. You are a big monster, but I have a broad mind and will give you a chance to be a new person."

"So, if I don't obey, I will never repent..."

Zhang Zhiling smiled and said: "In the future, one of the ten major crimes will be added, disobedience, disobedience, and disrespect. It will be more and more justifiable to kill you."

"But from my point of view, no one else would be able to accept the edict. Wouldn't that be self-destroying the city or even seeking death?"

Zhang Zhiling smiled and said: "That's why they are like this. Whether they accept it or not will give you a headache."

Jiang Fan looked at the edict: "It's quite a headache. King Zhenxi... I remember that this king existed..."

"Yes, when the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world, they established the four kings of east, west, south, north and west, and the King of Zhenxi. The full name is the King of Zhenxi Tianwang, which means that the Great Zhou guards the western frontier."

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes: "Western Border, the land of Great Qin..."

Zhang Zhiling said: "That's right. But this country-supervising envoy has the same purpose. It is the country-supervising envoy set up by Taiyue's line. To put it bluntly, he is Taiyue's imperial envoy. It has a similar role to Taihua's country-governing saint, but the only difference is that "The Holy Lady of the Kingdom is more of a title, while the Supervisor of the Country is serious about reporting state affairs to Taiyue."

Jiang Fan suddenly said: "The Holy Maiden of Taihua and the Holy Envoy of Taiyue, this is their Mingzi who monitors the five countries."

Zhang Zhiling nodded: "So, do you understand?"

Jiang Fan couldn't help but shake his head: "What a dog."

"It's true that the Zhou Dynasty and Taiyue do not recognize Your Majesty as the Emperor of Qin. Instead, they inexplicably want to confer you the title of King of the West and Supervisor of the Country. The intention is self-evident."

"Grandma!" Jiang Fan couldn't help but spat: "This is deliberately trying to create a gap between me and Xiao Cui. But are they stupid? How could I rebel against Xiao Cui?"

Zhang Zhiling shook his head: "Boy, do you think they are so stupid? No, this thing has two functions. One is a seed. Once this seed is planted, sooner or later it will take root and sprout, and maybe it will explode at a certain time. Second, show it to the world. What do you think the outside world will guess?"

Jiang Fan suddenly understood, "How can I see it? This is because Taiyou and Zhou Ting want to support me. Obviously, many people with ulterior motives will pay attention to me."

"Not only will you pay attention to it, but it will also spread. Eventually, it will form an undercurrent that will unknowingly push you to the opposite side of His Majesty."

Jiang Fan said: "It's really disgusting, but what if I always insist on not opposing Xiaocui?"

Zhang Zhiling smiled and said: "Does it matter what you think? How do you think Lord Shang died?"

Jiang Fan sighed, and fully understood that although King Hui did not want to kill Shang Jun, in the face of the general situation, he could only choose to sacrifice him.

"Dog, what a dog." Jiang Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly and curled his lips: "Can you think of a proper way to push it away?"

Zhang Zhiling said: "You have to think about it first. The five kingdoms are all nominally kings of the Zhou Dynasty. Although this empty edict has no practical effect, for the sake of balance and to find some necessary status, everyone chose to remain appropriate. If you are respectful, you are rebelling. Then give others justice. When the Four Kingdoms conquered Qin, wasn't the high-sounding slogan given by Zhou? Therefore, regardless of whether it is yin and yang or contrary, it is worth treating it as nothing. They will accept the order in name only.”

Jiang Fan scratched his head: "That's right, what about Taiyue? They have never recognized Your Majesty, and I, the supervisor of the country, can't explain it at all."

"Taiyue is the same as Zhou Ting, except that his status is higher. As for whether it can be passed or not, what does it matter? If you want to accept the edict, explain that you have other ideas. Taiyue will be happy with it. If you don't accept it, it will be just what you want. The seeds have been planted anyway, and your accusation of disrespecting the Holy Land and bringing trouble to the world has become more and more solid since then."

Jiang Fan smacked his lips: "Indeed, as the master said, some things don't matter whether they make sense or not, whether they are reasonable or not. This is just a game of power, and it is good to achieve the goal. It seems that the time to test me is coming."

"Yes, do you accept the imperial edict or do you not accept it? After accepting the imperial edict, you will go to Taiyue to pay homage to the emperor and thank him for his kindness. If Taiyue agrees to the Emperor's request and grants you the title of Supervisor of the Country, you will be the envoy to the country from now on. If you don't report state affairs to Taiyue, you will naturally be openly hostile to the imperial court and Taiyue, and you will lose your honor."

Jiang Fan thought for a moment: "I thought about it, it doesn't matter whether they follow it or not. As long as they have done this, as the teacher said, the seed has been planted. That's enough..."

Zhang Zaifu brushed his beard and said: "Yes, we can see the essence. Although it doesn't seem to be of much use at the moment, it is the right time to add chaos, add obstruction, and lay a foreshadowing. Who asked your kid to take over as the regent."

Jiang Fan couldn't help but complain: "Grandma, it's really a good time. I happened to do some messy things again."

Zhang Zhiling looked at him with a deep look on his face: "There is something, have you ever thought about it... This matter is only half of the matter so far. Emperor Zhou's move can be described as half truth and half lie."

Jiang Fan was stunned: "Half truth, half false?" Zhang Zhiling's words made him instantly disturbed.

Zhang Zhiling said slowly: "I just said that Da Zhou has never explicitly accused you, so if Emperor Zhou really has this intention, what do you think?"

Jiang Fan instantly fell into deep thought. If he really meant it, that is to say, Emperor Zhou's move was not only to divide him and Xiaocui, but also had more purposes. From his point of view, what makes him act like this?

He couldn't figure it out for a while.

Zhang Zhiling said calmly: "The Emperor of Zhou is Ming Ting..."

One sentence was like lightning flashing across Jiang Fan's mind.

“…Yes…” he murmured, “Mingting, Anchao…You just kept emphasizing the regent. Since I became the regent, I have been clearly opposed to Anchao…How could Emperor Zhou not understand Anchao’s desire to restore the throne? People like me…It seems that they really need…”

Zhang Zhiling said, “Have you figured it out?”

Jiang Fan sighed and bowed, “Thank you for your guidance, Master.”

“Emperor Zhou sees it clearly. If you really obey the edict, you can really use it. For hundreds of years, the Great Zhou Imperial Court has regarded the Feng family as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and has been more cautious against them. Five countries.

Especially... those old guys in Taiyue are restless. Do you think they are just supporting the Great Zhou? No, this empty shell is only useful in name now. The Dark Dynasty is another chess piece of Taiyue. The old guys have never given up their support for the Dark Dynasty. The Great Zhou is now on the decline, but the Feng family is becoming more and more high-profile. The Emperor Zhou is increasingly worried that Taiyue will shift its focus and reorganize the world with the Feng family. At this time, you openly hostile to the Dark Dynasty, and naturally become the object of the Emperor Zhou's pursuit. "

Jiang Fan is becoming more and more enlightened, and he admires this teacher more sincerely. Apart from other things, his in-depth insights and familiarity with Taiyue and the Great Zhou are all what he does not have yet.

"So, if I really obey the edict, this King of Zhenxi will also be real. But, Taiyue can't see the deep meaning of the Emperor Zhou?"
