Chapter 922: Three Royal Generations
The reward was astonishing, but no one criticized it. After all, the regent's contribution was so great that it was completely justified.
The only one who thinks it can't be justified is the empress. What Lishan saw made her feel that this reward was far from enough. What's more, this was originally done to facilitate Jiang Fan to plant new crops for Da Qin. Strictly speaking, there was no reward.
Fortunately, Jiang Fan tried his best to persuade him. At present, the only thing that can be exposed to the outside world is the rebellion against the Supreme Emperor. Lishan cannot be a favor to outsiders because the reward is too big. The empress had no choice but to give up.
However, Prince Jiang was not an easy man. The empress stayed at his place for three days, and he also stayed at Zhangtai Palace for three days.
The truth leaves the world speechless.
You two go back and forth.
The empress was also very glaring. This bullshit plaster is so arrogant that it cannot be driven away...
However, one wave after another broke out, and another incident once again puzzled the people of Qin.
The regent Jiang Fan unexpectedly accepted the canonization of the Great Zhou Dynasty and was appointed as the Western Heavenly King of Zhenguo. He will go to the imperial court soon to express his gratitude.
After some sensible people dug up historical materials and found out the origin of the Western Heavenly King of Zhenguo, there was another uproar.
But what's interesting is that this time it only caused a lot of discussion, and neither the people nor the court responded much.
Because of the lessons learned from what happened to the Supreme Emperor, and now that His Majesty has returned, he has not objected to this matter. This shows that there is not necessarily something fishy about it. It is better to wait and see, and stop making nonsense like what others say.
Unknowingly, the people of Qin had developed great trust in this foreign king.
Only Zeng Chun was particularly confused.
When the empress returned and stayed in the mortal residence for a three-day vacation, he almost pulled out the few remaining beards. These three days really made him think a lot.
Jiang Fan delayed again and again, and finally waited until the Empress returned. Zeng Chun originally thought that the Empress would definitely object, so the matter could just be dropped. Anyway, the purpose of differentiation had been achieved, and he had completed his task.
But he never expected that Jiang Fan would actually find him and express his gratitude to Emperor Zhou for his favor. He accepted the offer of the King of Zhenxi and went to the imperial court to express his gratitude as usual.
Zeng Chun suddenly felt that his head was as big as a bucket. He didn't expect it to be like this.
Obviously, the empress acquiesced in this matter. The co-authorship of "Come and Go in Three Days" only proves how deep the relationship is, but it's not so deep that you don't even care about it, right? Zeng Chun really couldn't figure it out.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he was no longer nervous. After all, he was just an imperial envoy, and he came to do this. No matter what, he asked me to get it done. As for the game behind it, who cares about him? No one has told me the true purpose.
I'm just an errand boy.
With this position, he felt much more at ease, and even accepted many generous gifts from the palace with a smile, and then took the prince out of Yangdu and rushed to the imperial court.
Zeng Chun let go of his worries, and Master Jiang felt more at ease with the Empress' permission.
The two of them were drinking and chatting on the roadside while leaning in the large and luxurious carriage.
Looking at Prince Jiang who was stuffed in a soft velvet blanket, he was drunk and humming a little tune very comfortably. Zeng Chun said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so proud of the spring breeze."
Jiang Fan opened his drunken and hazy eyes: "Oh, haha, hahaha, blah, blah, blah, it's just that I'm in a good mood."
Zeng Chun said: "Your Majesty is the third king of Qin, and he is highly regarded by the present. He has been granted the title of King of the West, and the four kings have joined him. This has never happened in ancient times. It is really enviable to the world."
Jiang Fan chuckled and said: "It's all a false name, just a false name. Come, come, drink up."
Zeng Chun raised his glass and said: "To the prince, you have achieved great success."
Jiang Fan laughed loudly: "You're welcome, from now on Young Master Zeng comes to my mortal residence and you can pick whatever you like."
Zeng Chun said: "Don't dare. The gift given by the prince yesterday was too generous. Any one of them is a treasure, which is enough to be worth Zeng's hard work for half a life. Zeng once heard someone say that the prince is the real richest man in the world. Originally, I still don’t believe it, but I’ve learned a lot this time.”
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "They are all small gadgets and cannot be put on the stage. Speaking of climbing Mount Tai for the first time and entering the imperial court, I wonder if the things I have prepared this time can be discerned by His Majesty and the Crown Prince."
Zeng Chun smiled and said: "Although I haven't met Zeng, people like the prince are considered to be rare treasures in the world."
Jiang Fan leaned forward and said, "Mr. Zeng, can you tell me what your Majesty and the Crown Prince like? It's better for me to be mentally prepared in advance."
Zeng Chun said: "His Majesty the Human Emperor is kind-hearted, broad-minded, and easy to get along with. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is in poor health, he has outstanding talents. Zeng Yan admires the prince's talent and knowledge very much, and he is also easy to get along with."
Jiang Fan nodded, "I have admired the Emperor for a long time. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to pay homage to the Emperor this time. I am truly honored."
Zeng Chun said: "His Majesty appreciates the prince very much now. This time, he is going to defy all opinions and make the prince the King of Zhenxi. The prince will have to express his gratitude by then."
"That's right, that's right." Jiang Fan suddenly leaned forward and said: "I heard that the Human Emperor is a peaceful person and has an extraordinary bearing. He must be the supreme master of martial arts, but I don't know... what is his cultivation level?"
Zeng Chun said: "This, Your Majesty, you have to stop me. Everyone knows that the royal family is of the blood of the true dragon and enjoys miraculous feats from heaven. The emperors of all generations have possessed supreme cultivation. However, after all, being the emperor of the emperor means how big a deal it is. Do you need to take action yourself? Therefore, even I have never seen it."
Jiang Fan nodded repeatedly: "That's right. If the Human Emperor takes action, no matter what the extent, all civil and military officials should commit suicide to apologize."
Zeng Chun hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense. There are so many civil servants and generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It will not sound good if it is spread out."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Yes, yes. What about His Highness the Crown Prince? He has practiced the miraculous skills of the Emperor and has countless treasures of heaven and earth to enshrine. Why is he still sick and weak? It's really hard to understand."
Zeng Chun sighed: "This, it's a long story. When His Royal Highness was young, he was indeed one of the best among people. Now he is only forty years old, and he is in the prime of his life. Alas... It's a pity that His Highness, the Crown Prince, is still in his prime. Someone plotted against him, and the root cause of his disease became difficult to cure. After that, he encountered great changes in the palace. His only son was seriously injured and his life was in danger. When he rushed to Kunlun to get the elixir, he was intercepted and killed by thieves. In the end, the emperor's grandson died. False fate. The death of his only son has deeply affected His Royal Highness, and his spirit has been depressed. Since then, his health has been deteriorating, which is really heartbreaking..."
Jiang Fan sighed deeply: "His Royal Highness is really ill-fated. He was already suffering from a conspiracy, and added to the pain of losing his son, but a good royal genius ended up in this situation..."
Zeng Chun said: "No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, talented, benevolent and virtuous, and is deeply loved by the people. If not for this, he would have ascended the throne and become a wise king long ago. And his son, His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, is even more talented than his predecessors. He showed his talent at an early age. He was extremely talented, both civil and military, unrivaled by anyone of his age, but unexpectedly died at the age of six. It would be too tragic for the father and son to encounter the jealousy of heaven. "
