Chapter 2376 The Chess Player and the Chess Spectator

Xianzong understands that the thousand-year catastrophe is likely to come again. However, due to the erosion of the fundamental system of enfeoffment, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in dire straits and was unable to shoulder the great responsibility of uniting the power of the world. Therefore, Xianzong separated King Lu, Pei Gelao and the leader of the Shadow Guard, who he believed to be the most loyal to the Zhou Dynasty, to keep them away from the whirlpool of feudal princes' struggle for hegemony, escape from the surveillance of Taiyue, and protect themselves for the future.

But what is this future? Few people understand it, only the two real core figures of the Qianlong Project in the past dynasties understand it. The future refers to a very distant time, and the real future expected by Xianzong is when these forces try to revitalize the Great Zhou after the Holy War between Heaven and Man.

Because he understood that it was impossible and unnecessary in a short time. As long as the holy war came, the world would be in chaos, and the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not continue at all. Even if there is a brief revival in the middle, it will be destroyed by the holy war, and it will lose all the power it can expect in the future.

And only after the holy war between heaven and man, when all parties are in decline, can there be hope for the revival of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because only then can we truly break and then establish. Breaking the feudal system and establishing a new Zhou Dynasty is the only way to continue the dynasty. He called this new Great Week the Later Week, so the truest full name of this plan is the Later Zhou Qianlong Plan.

But in order to prevent every generation in the process from losing hope, this is the real purpose. Xianzong did not explain it to anyone except the chess players and spectators.

The so-called chess player is the master controller, similar to the trader. Xianzong stipulates that every generation of traders is given this title. They are one of the two insiders and the helmsman of the Qianlong Plan in the later weeks. After Xianzong, there was only one generation in between, which was Wuhen.

Then the spectator means watching the chess without saying anything. He is far away from the chessboard and can only watch, but it is to prevent the helmsman from making mistakes or unexpected death and cutting off the inheritance.

This chess watcher has also experienced only one generation, and the truth of this name shocked Jiang Fan——

The best chess sage in the world, a divination prophet.

This is the second time Jiang Fan has heard news about this person since he was waiting for court in Ziwei Palace that day.

It really broke my head that I didn't expect that this supreme chess master who sees the dragon as a board but never sees the end, the world's best chess master who claims to view the country as his board, the common people as his son, and vows to compete with the sky for victory, was actually arranged by Xianzong. Those who watch the chess game without saying a word.

However, despite Xianzong's selfish ambition to revive Zhou Dynasty, he never lost the status of a generation of human emperors. In his will, he entrusted himself to leave the Zhou Dynasty behind for the sake of the world.

In other words, when the world is facing life and death, the country should come second.

Because of this, the heaven-defying circle of the Xianzong lineage has been passed down from generation to generation.

Wuhen also highlighted several contemporary living people related to Jiang Fan. Normally, according to the rules of the Defying Ones, Wuhen should not completely hand over his circle to Jiang Fan, but Sun Daotong and Dao Zun were the first to break the rules, and Jiang Fan's identity is very unique, and he has no way to deal with both circles. Broken relationship. Therefore, he didn't have too many worries.

The top figures in their circle include Pei Yunjin, the descendant of Pei Shiju, the elder of Lanyi Pavilion, Zhou Tiedan, the descendant of King Zhou Mangfu of Lu, Mo Shuai Yu Weng, and the Heavenly Fox Wuhen himself, as well as the ones who don’t know where they are now. The prophet.

As for Zhang Zhiling's subsequent interactions with Zhou Tiedan and Pei Yunjin, there was another reason. Zhang Zhiling's guide was supposed to be the ancestor of this lineage, but unexpectedly, the unknowing old Master Yan took a fancy to him first. After learning the truth, Zhang Zhiling immediately found the Pei family and the Zhou family, hoping to understand their true thoughts, and wanted to persuade them to give up their plan to hide themselves from the world, don't wait any longer, and help this troubled world when the world needs it most. Put in some effort.

However, after an in-depth discussion, Zhou Tietang, who had always been bold and had not wanted to be like this for a long time, boldly revealed to Zhang Zhiling his identity as a rebel just like he faced Jiang Fan.

Since then, the two have intersected, and Zhang Zhiling has re-entered the circle of Xianzong Project because of his identity.

In this process, the Great Zhou Dynasty had already replaced two generations of human emperors. The first one was Anzong, who succeeded Xianzong. That legendary good old man is mediocre and incompetent.

But he did faithfully implement his father's plan and endured it in order to survive. At the end of his reign, he implemented Zhang Zhiling's plan and climbed Mount Tai to seek shelter. At that time, Zhang Zhiling was feared by the Xianzong lineage because of his status as a walking Taiyue. He had not yet learned about the plans of the Later Zhou Dynasty, nor had he been appreciated by his master to be introduced to the heaven-defying ones.

The second one is Pinghuang. Pinghuang's talent is much higher than that of Anzong. Naturally, he is unwilling to do so and wants to break the situation. However, his approach is really different from Xianzong. It can almost be said to be essentially the opposite. So much so that An Zong did not pass on the Later Zhou Plan to him, but instead valued his grandson Ji Zongyi.

But Ji Zongyi was too young at that time. Before Xianzong died, he told chess players and spectators to wait until he was thirty years old to understand his behavior and make decisions.

Helpless, Emperor Ping was determined to break the situation, and actually formulated a Qianlong plan with the same name as Xianzong. He openly favored Ji Zongyi, but secretly liked Ji Zongyao, who was more to his liking. In this way, the Xianzong family did not dare to inform the prince easily. Especially later, when the prince was killed by his beloved wife and his grandson died, he was greatly shocked and depressed. He has been shutting himself up since then. They felt that it was not safe, so they kept it secret.

It was not until later that Jiang Wuhen discovered that the prince had ulterior motives after many tests, and the two of them really got in touch with each other. Then he planned the defection of Jincheng from the old king of Jin, and then rearranged Ji Le in It is planned to be in the hands of the heirs in the next week.

However, the message of the anti-heaven man has never been conveyed to Ji Zongyi and Jincheng.

First of all, regarding Jincheng, she is the princess of the Great Zhou after all, and what she has always been thinking about is the revival of the Great Zhou. Later, although Wuhen saw that she valued her family more than the country, in his eyes, it has been difficult for the royal family to have a small family since ancient times, so he still did not make it clear, but secretly regarded Jincheng as his reserve seed.

There are three reasons for targeting Ji Zongyi. First, this plan must be tested by facts, but Ji Zongyi has been pretending to be sick for many years, and his mind is still uncertain. Second, he is in the undercurrent, and Wuhen needs to act cautiously, hoping to wait until he has a certain power in the Great Zhou and has the ability to protect himself before making plans. Third, Ji Zongyi's mind at that time was indeed a bit confusing. Wuhen knew very well that this person valued his family, and was afraid that he would really be depressed because of his wife. Therefore, although he hoped that Ji Zongyi would become a seed, he still wanted to wait.

But he never expected that this time, just like An Zong, he did not wait for Ji Zongyi, but waited for the crown prince. So Wuhen changed his mind again and decided to wait and see.
