Fish swimming around the world

Jiang Fan smiled: "I'm afraid the teacher didn't just say this."

"Of course I can't hide it from the prince. The teacher asked me to bring you news that some princes among the nobles of Qin are not stable. The news comes from the governor's disciples."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Sure enough, it's pretty much what I imagined."

Ba Qing said: "As I said last time, one of the forces is openly targeting our business, and my subordinates have found out that it is related to some of the princes mentioned by Zaifu."

Jiang Fan said: "It has indeed been planned for a long time. Did you bring the list?"

Ba Qing took out a secret letter from his sleeve: "Your Majesty will know it at a glance, but there is no conclusive evidence at the moment. Your Majesty still needs to act with caution."

After Jiang Fan read it, he told Ba Qing that Lishan still cannot be opened. As long as there is no trouble, it will be put on hold.

Ba Qing was a little surprised, "From what I see, it's very simple to deal with now. I'm afraid..."

Jiang Fan shook his head: "No, it's just because the matter is not big enough that we can't move..."

Later, Zhao Gao came again, bringing news about the Dragon Eagle Guard, and pointed the finger at seven important figures.

Jiang Fan verified each other with the information from Zhang Zaifu, Paradise City, and Longying Guard, and Jiang Fan had a complete idea.

"The Rebellion of the Seven Dukes..."

Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh. In fact, in his opinion, this kind of thing will definitely happen, just sooner or later. They must be very smart in choosing this time.

Speaking of these seven people, three of them are princes and four are marquis, representing the seven traditional powerful families in Qin. And there are countless aristocratic families, large and small, who followed him.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Jiang Fan thought for a while and asked Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty said that everything must be obeyed by the prince."

Jiang Fan smiled: "It's another blame game, alas!"

Zhao Gaodao: "These seven princes are not simple. Most of them are after the founding of the Qin State. Some families have even passed down the inheritance for hundreds of years, much earlier than the history of the Qin Dynasty. They are deeply rooted and have no calculation of their family members. They have huge influence in the Qin State's temples and among the people. If not handled well, it can easily lead to big trouble..."

Jiang Fan nodded. This kind of situation is actually the hardest to deal with. It would be better to deal with opponents like Baiqu and Poppy.

They are deeply cultivated in the country, with luxuriant branches and high reputation. After years of operation, they have amazing energy. Once united, they are very terrifying. After all, they represent the traditional nobles of the Qin State and are also an important national foundation of the current Qin State, and their farms and businesses represent the livelihood of millions of Qin people.

But what they are doing now is not enough to deal a devastating blow to them, and it is not even possible to shake their foundation.

Even Xiao Cui cannot be defeated with one stroke. That would chill the hearts of countless civil servants and generals, and deprive countless people of their livelihood. It would be strange not to be in chaos.

As for their hostility to Jiang Fan, he had already figured it out.

In a word, you are blocking the road there.

This matter was destined to cause conflict from very early on.

Jiang Fan's creation of movable type printing essentially promoted the reading of ordinary people. When ordinary people had the opportunity to enter the society, they naturally competed with them for the limited temple resources.

Later, Jiang Fan founded Twelve Fangs and reopened the industrial and commercial structure of Daqin, which caused a devastating blow to the businesses of countless aristocratic families.

Moreover, as Jiang Fan became more and more powerful, the empress valued him far more than others, which made their voice in the temple continue to shrink, making it harder to bring benefits to the family.

Now, he is getting married to the empress. From the outside, it is conceivable that Jiang Fan and his family will occupy half of the Qin Dynasty, which will be a fatal squeeze on the family.

They have seen the changes brought about by Jiang Fan, a reformer, and have felt the tremendous pressure. Therefore, the three feet of ice did not freeze overnight. The conflict has been brewing from the beginning, and now it is just that it is finally breaking out through this marriage.

Of course, God also gave them a perfect excuse. The imperial court granted them a title. This was the best opportunity to explain Jiang Fan's ulterior motives.

They couldn't afford to wait any longer. If they waited any longer and gave the fisherman a few more years, they would not know what Qin's world would become.

But when fighting alone, no one is an opponent. Don't you see that your servant Chen He was crushed by Jiang Fan with just one finger? Don't you see, Li Xiu, the dignified prime minister, was killed by three thousand people at his word? You must know that at that time, he was just an idle king.

Therefore, the representatives of the seven traditional forces of Qin finally couldn't sit still. Apparently, after a long period of coordination, they had reached an agreement to deal with Jiang Fan, an outsider.

As for what they want to achieve, it is still unclear at the moment, but Jiang Fan understands that of course the heavier the blow, the better. Of course, there is probably a prerequisite at present, that is, the empress cannot be allowed to ignore murderous intentions.

However, the Feng family saw this perfect opportunity and jumped in. This gave them a scapegoat, and they could consider taking this opportunity to strike hard, or at least expel Qin.

It's just that interests and dangers coexist, and the Feng family's participation actually gave Jiang Fan an excuse. Jiang Fan believed that the Seven Dukes were not fools. Some of them should be able to see this. The question was whether the benefits were attractive enough.

Zhao Gao also specially introduced these seven princes to Jiang Fan.

The three Dukes are An Guo Gong and Ying Shan. Duke Dingguo: Fan Yuqi. Duke Fuguo: Yang Song.

This Duke of An Guo, Ying Shan, was also the only surviving elder of the Ying family, so Ying Pei had to be called uncle. As his name suggests, he is indeed a well-known good man on the outside. He has always studied books and studies, is willing to do charity, and is very popular among the people of Qin.

And because he is committed to helping scholars, his power is mainly in the temple, especially in the civil service camp.

It is for this reason that when Ying Wushuang seized the throne, he killed so many members of the Ying family, but did not touch this one.

And Dingguogong Fan Yuqi is a thorough military general. It is strange to say that Fan Yuqi was a staunch supporter of the eldest prince Ying Wutian, and even after the empress ascended the throne, he did not give up.

But for some reason, the empress not only let him go, but also let him continue to hold an important position in the army, with a status no less than Wang Jian.

The last one, Fuguogong, Yang Song, is not very likable. Like Lu Fu at the beginning, he was a businessman. The reason why he was able to succeed has to be said from the early days of the founding of the Qin State. Although the family elders of this person can't govern the country, they can't lead troops, but they can make money. In the ten-year war of the founding of the Qin State, they relied on their own strength to provide half of the military expenses of the Ying family. In the end, they were crowned as dukes, which was well deserved.

The four marquises are Chenliu Marquis Bai Zheng, Guanzhong Marquis Yao Qi, Zhaoting Marquis Du Quan, Ningyuan Marquis Niu Qing. These four are relatively powerful among the marquises.

However, Jiang Fan knew that it was not that the three dukes and four marquises were all those who opposed him this time. They were just representatives, and he didn't know how many people were standing behind them.

"This has been planned for a long time. It seems that I have offended someone." Jiang Fan chuckled as he looked at the list.
