Fish swimming around the world

"Bazhong?" Jiang Fan pinched his chin and suddenly remembered the guy who intercepted him this time.

"What dress?"

Tian Mole said: "There is an old woman and a young girl. They are both wearing loose gray clothes and gray cloth hats. Their auras... are a bit gloomy, but they are very strong. The older one should be above me, and the younger one is not much behind me." ”

Jiang Fan's mind moved, and it turned out to be very similar.

Qianji Sect...the largest hidden weapon sect in Chu State, a loyal supporter of King Xiang Chen of Chu. If he was really from Qianji Sect, why did he come to Jin? And he appeared successively next to the team that intercepted him and Zhang Yi?

If there is a connection between the two, it would be interesting...

"Where is Zhang Yi today?"

Tian Mole said: "I took the two of them out of the inn quietly early in the morning, but they haven't returned yet."

Jiang Fan was a little confused: "Why didn't I take you with me? Weren't you in contact with Sima Jing all along?"

Tian Nao frowned and said, "This is also something that puzzles me. He comes here and obviously has a major relationship with Sima Jing, but he avoids others everywhere. It's not just me. It seems that every time he goes out, he only brings the two items from Qianjimen with him. indivual."

Jiang Fan thought for a moment: "Are you sure he doesn't doubt you?"

Tian Nao said: "Probably not. He treated me with no other abnormalities. He even discussed cooperation with me about Sima Jing. Apart from this matter, I am still the one communicating with Sima Jing."

Jiang Fan nodded, sat down and drank a cup of tea, "Zhang Yi, as the Prime Minister of the Xia Kingdom, cannot come here for trivial matters like sesame seeds and mung beans. What are the big developments in the Xia Kingdom recently?"

Tian Yao refilled his cup of tea and thought for a moment: "There are only two major events. One is of course the Battle between Chu and Xia. Lu Qinghou effectively curbed Chu's offensive. Xia has now stabilized, and everyone in the court is actively preparing for it. Counterattack."

"Oh? Is it controversial?"

"Of course there is. Prince Jiang Luo still advocates that Generalissimo Zhou Anshi personally take command and retake the Wujiang River. Although Prime Minister Zhang himself did not refute, his subordinates strongly recommended that Lu Qinghou be reinstated in the name of his outstanding military exploits. , was in charge of the navy of the Xia Kingdom. The two had a fierce quarrel in the court, and the King of Xia also had a headache. "

Zhou Anshi was the biological father of Zhou Quan, the general during the false war between Jin and Xia, and is now the general marshal of the Xia Kingdom. However, this person is a representative of the conservative forces and is not on good terms with Zhang Yi. Jiang Fan said: "Is Zhang Yi so stable?"

Tian Mole said: "It's very stable. It's always in the middle and harmonious, making it difficult for people to see clearly."

"Old fox!" Jiang Fan scolded with a smile.

"What about the second thing?"

Tian Nao said: "It has something to do with the Crown Prince Jiang Luo. Jin and Xia originally formed an alliance, but were broken up by Chu and Wei. Now that the alliance collapsed, Xia was attacked from both sides, so someone in the court once again proposed a marriage with Jin to ease the relationship between the two countries, and the former Crown Prince The marriage between Jiang Luo and Jin Princess Sima Xuan is back on the table. "

Jiang Fan's expression changed: "This is the reason why Jin and Xia pretended to fight. Now it's interesting to pick it up again."

Tian Mole said: "The people who jointly raised this matter are some big guys from the conservative and emerging factions. I don't know what they think. Jiang Luo is also shameless, and he really wants to capture Sima Xuan and expand his power, but at this time, , How could the Jin State agree? No, Sima Ji was the first to jump out and firmly oppose it. "

"Why did Sima Ji object?"

Tian Nao said: "My subordinates know nothing more than rumors. Your Majesty will listen to it. It is said that the second prince Sima Ji thought that Wei and Jin had just signed the armistice clause, which was not a good time. In addition, there are rumors that it was Sima Ji who was responsible for the original crown prince. During the war, Jiang Luo of Xia State was dissatisfied and wanted to stop him. "

Jiang Fan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, seeming to be deep in thought.

The field mole didn't bother him and sat quietly.

After a while, Jiang Fan suddenly chuckled: "Grandma, it turns out it's the same thing."

Lap Mole was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Fan said: "If my guess is correct, these two things are actually the same thing. In the final analysis, military power. Although Zhang Yi's guy is immovable, fundamentally speaking, he wants to control the navy. Therefore, one of our own must be in charge. . But it was not convenient for him to step forward, so he let his subordinates take the lead.

But how could this old guy be idle? Jiang Luo, don’t you support Zhou Anshi? He simply ignored Zhou Anshi and instead started with Jiang Luo to create trouble for Jiang Luo. "

"Trouble?" Tian Ya was a little confused: "The marriage between Jiang Luo and Jin will only strengthen Jiang Luo's power and voice. How can it be trouble?"

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Because many people think so, the old guy's skills are really brilliant. In this way, no one will doubt that he is making waves. As for why this is so, think about it, Wei and Jin just stopped fighting. How could Jin possibly marry at this juncture? What would Wei think? In fact, at present, Jiang Luo's marriage with Jin would do more harm than good. Everyone knows that Jiang Luo is close to the second prince. It's because of my relationship with the king that he came to the throne. Can the big bosses of Xia State not consider it? No one wants to get close to Qin. If Jiang Luo wants to marry, his position will inevitably be questioned. At this time, he seems to have some ulterior motives in recommending Zhou Anshi. You Don’t forget, when Zhou Anshi was conquering Qin from the Five Kingdoms, he also got the title of a runaway marshal..."

Tian Mole suddenly realized: "That's it, my lord, I agree. But..."

She was still a little confused: "It was Jiang Luo's group who raised this matter..."

Jiang Fan laughed loudly: "This is the most interesting part of the whole thing. Zhang Yi, as Zaifu said, he is not upright enough, but he is very good at conspiracy."

Only then did Tian Yuan realize something: "The Lord means...those people may not be Jiang Luo's people?"

Jiang Fan said: "Not necessarily, some should be, and some definitely not. Zhang Yi must have used some tricks to make some of Jiang Luo's diehards think this is a good thing. Apart from anything else, expanding the power of the prince can also strike at him, the great prime minister, so why not."

"Strike?" Tian Mole was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "--Zhang Yi has always supported the eldest prince..."

Jiang Fan was very satisfied with Tian Mole's reaction speed, and snapped his fingers: "Correct answer. Zhang Yi supported the eldest prince, but the eldest prince lost miserably, and now he needs to borrow the second prince to re-emerge With the newly restored relationship between Jin and Xia, Jiang Luo's role is crucial. If successful, it will obviously be a big blow to Zhang Yi's prestige and ability. "

Tian Mole's eyes flickered: "Then why did the second prince take the lead in opposing? Even if he opposed, shouldn't it be someone else? Although the second prince got your help to get to the top, it doesn't prevent him from being on good terms with Jiang Luo. Didn't you say that there are no eternal enemies?"

Jiang Fan said approvingly: "Very good, Madam Tian is indeed quick-witted, why don't you guess it?"

Tian Mole showed a thoughtful look.

Jiang Fan reminded: "Consider the root cause."

"The root cause..." Tian Mole's eyes suddenly lit up: "The root cause is still Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi is secretly manipulating it, so how could Sima Lao Er let him succeed?"

Jiang Fan clapped his hands: "That's right, as long as he knows this, Sima Ji will oppose it regardless of whether he sees the reason behind it or not. Besides, Sima Ji is a very smart person. He should have seen the essence after breaking through the fog. Therefore, he directly opposes it with the high-sounding reason that Jin and Wei have just completed the peace talks. There is no problem at all."

"Wait, what's the benefit? If he guessed that it was Zhang Yi's manipulation, he would naturally see that Zhang Yi's real purpose was to strike Jiang Luo. Wouldn't it be better to let him succeed in the marriage?"
