Chapter 2448 You Use the Knife, I Eat the Meat

For example, when Master Wenren chose the prince, it was actually Emperor Ping's final request. The Grand Master originally wanted to choose only the Human Emperor, and given his status, he could only choose the Ping Emperor.

For another example, the King of England used the medicinal properties of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to plot against the prince. This was actually the work of Emperor Ping, who asked Erzong to design the prescription. And this recipe was passed to the prince quietly by him.

For example, the previous regentship of the country was actually intentional by Emperor Ping, who was giving the prince a title to make corresponding arrangements. It was through this that Jiang Fan rose to power and had the privilege of being a mercenary and a diligent king.

All these things made Jiang Fan frightened and filled with admiration.

Ping Huang's methods are so brilliant!

"The emperor of this generation is indeed an extraordinary person." Jiang Fan sighed.

I just didn't expect that Emperor Ping had been hiding the prince's secrets until now. This scheming and the city are really amazing.

"Only by hiding it from me can you hide it from the rest of the world. My father is... clever."

Jiang Fan nodded: "So, my identity..."

The prince smiled lightly: "Yes, your grandfather has actually seen through your identity a long time ago. The reason why he repeatedly tested you was not to test you, but to look at me. Later, he finally confirmed that you are his grandson. "The Ji family has a successor, and he is a great talent. At this point, as the situation evolved, he finally sent these four lotus roots."

Jiang Fan's heart surged in his chest: "Grandfather... we can't help him."

The prince smiled: "Yes, even now, you can understand that he actually did a lot of things for you behind the scenes, but you always thought it was me who was doing it and didn't understand the truth."

Jiang Fan let out a breath: "Looking back, yes, I can climb Sun Peak, I can be granted the title of King of the West, and I can become the hidden minister of the country. It seems that it should all be related to him."

The prince nodded: "Yes, without his secret push, it would be difficult for me to do it. In fact, I have long suspected what his truest intentions are, so I decided to put you in the position of bliss. By calling you to climb the Sun Peak, I urged you to become the king, to make you the hidden minister of the country, and to take drastic measures to supervise the country. In addition to the layout purpose, I also wanted to see my father's reaction. "

Jiang Fan understood that the prince was by no means simple, but he still secretly marveled at the countless twists and turns in his mind.

"So, what do these four lotus roots mean?" Jiang Fan stared at the only four pieces of ingredients tumbling in the boiling water, his eyes bright.

The prince stared at the floating lotus root slices: "There are four people, he wants me to eat them. Zong Yao, Long She, Huangfu Zhaoye, Gongsun Xing."

Jiang Fan looked shocked: "In the imperial court, there are representatives of the four major opposition forces."

"Yes. The third brother represents the leader of the rebels, Long She represents the greatest combat power of the imperial court, Huangfu Zhaoye represents the military power, and Gongsun Xing represents the power of the Holy Land in the imperial court. Only by swallowing these four will my throne be stable."

Jiang Fan snapped: "That's true. But why is there no King Jin?"

The prince smiled faintly: "Prince Jin is just a name, not an internal force in the imperial court. Moreover, those who will eat him in the future..."

He pointed at Jiang Fan: "It's you."

Jiang Fan finally understood: "So...did Grandfather Emperor give you a knife and fork?"

The prince smiled and nodded: "Yes, the knife will be put in your hand. The fork is in my hand. You will cut it and I will eat it."

Jiang Fan thought for a while: "If you want to be fooled, someone must put pressure first before the King of England can actually force the king to use his troops. However, Zhong Houde can't stand it. Isn't it time for my uncle to show up?"

"Well," the prince nodded: "He doesn't have many manpower, but together with the Hidden Dragon Army led by Ouyang Tu, it will be enough."

Jiang Fan's eyebrows moved: "Hidden Dragon... the Imperial Court really does have this power."

"Haha, of course my father has the skills to run it for such a long time, but I never expected that a civil servant could be the leader of the Hidden Dragon Army. He has hidden it deeply enough."

"Indeed, how many people are there?"

"Not many, eight thousand, but they are elite soldiers carefully trained by my father."

Jiang Fan counted with his fingers: "Zhong Houde's Golden Dragon Guard has 3,000 people, the part of Luxi Jiang's private army in my uncle's hands is about 5,000 people, and the Hidden Dragon Army is 8,000 people, totaling 16,000 people. But It’s still too little to force the King of England to second his army.”

"Don't forget, there is also the old master Wenren. Although he has been away from the imperial court for a hundred years, he still holds a force in his hands, with about 5,000 people, totaling 21,000 people."

"That's about it," Jiang Fan said with a sigh of relief: "Although the number is still not as large as that of a single Dragon Guard, the victory is due to the command of Master Wenren. Even if Commander Long takes action personally, he will still lose a lot."

"Of course, the Great Zhou Undefeated God of War is not joking. Besides, your third uncle will be very anxious. He must destroy all my power as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be untenable and the future will be a huge risk. If I were him, I would definitely We have been prepared for a long time and have at least 100,000 troops on standby. If we cannot capture me quickly with lightning power, we will definitely mobilize a large army to attack with thunder. "

Jiang Fan sighed softly: "Tell the old master that no matter how fierce the first two waves of offensive are, they must withstand at least five days."

Ji Zongyi snapped his fingers: "I'm kidding, I'll just watch your performance for the rest."

Jiang Fan nodded slightly: "If the prediction is correct, the first wave will attack the prince's palace, and the second wave of Dragon Guard troops will force the palace. The third wave, the King of England can only use all his strength to surround the mountain with seconded troops. At this time, it is me It’s time to take action.”

Ji Zongyi looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction: "I heard some things, you are very good at it. One moment, one alliance, the temple on the left, the world on the right, you kid, you have done this without knowing it. For my sake, I’m not as good as you.”

Jiang Fan shook his head: "You can't say that. You are trapped on the mountain, and your every move is monitored by everyone. You can't move at all."

Ji Zongyi shook his head: "Even if it's not the case, it can't be done. A person must have self-knowledge. I can't do it, and my father can't do it. I think he will be surprised this time."

Jiang Fan smiled: "This time, the one who surprised him the most should be his granddaughter-in-law."

A strange light flashed in Ji Zongyi's eyes: "Qin, are you going to raise troops..."

Jiang Fan nodded seriously: "The time has come."

Ji Zongyi was silent for a moment, picked up a piece of lotus root and put it in his bowl: "These four lotus roots represent the four forces of the imperial court, You asked me if I could eat it, but if you represent the four countries, are you sure you can eat it? "

Jiang Fan looked at the bowl: "Whether you can eat it or not, you have to eat it. You know, they don't give us time. They want to eat us."

Ji Zongyi nodded slowly: "Yes, the second five-year plan has not been completed yet..."

Jiang Fan said: "Xiao Cui said a long time ago that no one will give us such a long and comfortable development space. The most likely possibility is to grow stronger while fighting."

"Visionary." Ji Zongyi agreed: "The four countries are not fools, and Taiyue is not either. They have seen that Qin's national strength is advancing by leaps and bounds, so they can't wait. "
