Fish swimming around the world

"I've said this more than once. You seem to be... naturally wary of him?" The empress looked at him thoughtfully.

This... Jiang Fan doesn't know how to explain it. You can't say that this guy may or may take control of the government in the future, or even kill the king and rebel?

It doesn't make any sense.

“I just think this guy is too shrewd and he can’t make big mistakes if he’s careful.”

The empress smiled, picked up the lid and moved the tea leaves: "I don't know where your worries come from, but this guy is really very comfortable. I plan to hand over the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs to him starting next year."

The House of Internal Affairs refers to all the internal affairs of the palace, such as eunuchs, maids, craftsmen, cooks, etc., as long as they are people in the inner palace, except for the imperial guards, everything, large and small, is under his control. If I get another pen in the future, I can select memorials for Xiao Cui.

Jiang Fan didn't know how to dissuade him. To be honest, if he put aside the shadows of his past life, he would not be disgusted by such a subordinate who must be capable, loyal, and obedient. Appreciate it very much.

Suddenly, he remembered something: "I heard... that there was an ancestor of the eunuch in the palace..."

The empress looked at him in surprise: "Why do you think of asking this?"

Jiang Fan said: "I'm just curious. Is he not doing anything now?"

The empress shook her head: "I have long stopped caring about those messy things, but it is not nothing..."

Jiang Fan said: "Why have I never seen it? I've visited every corner of your Zhangtai Palace, Lian Nei's study... uh, I mean, is he so reclusive?"

The empress looked at him: "You are always so curious."

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Just ask casually. If it's inconvenient, don't say anything. I don't care."

The empress just said lightly: "Sooner or later... you will see him, but it is best... not to see him."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, but saw that the empress had no intention of continuing, and at this moment, wine and food were also served.

Jiang Fan stopped asking, raised the wine bottle and twitched his nose: "Huh? Longjiang aged wine."

The Empress' nose also moved: "More than thirty years. But there are still too many impurities and it is not pure and sweet enough, and it is not as good as burning a knife."

Jiang Fan smiled: "That's the most famous wine second only to Azure Green Ant. To be honest, before Shao Daozi and my other drinks, I drank this all by myself."

The empress looked at him: "But you were dissatisfied after all, and that's why you ended up with the burning knife. To be honest, you seem to be dissatisfied with many things in this world, as if... you have a clear and natural standard in your heart..."

She was thoughtful and seemed to be phrasing her words.

Jiang Fan was stunned. The truth of the empress' words made him feel a little startled.

But it's not just that in my impression, it is the past life, thousands of years later, or it still exists in another world.

And I seem to be unconsciously reshaping this time and space in advance according to the template of my previous life.

But, after all, time and space have been transformed and history has been changed. Is this...right...

For a moment, he was confused and didn't even notice that the wine spilled out of the cup. It wasn't until the empress knocked on the table that he suddenly woke up.

"Distracted?"

"Ah... I just suddenly thought of something." Jiang Fan hesitated.

"Every time you lose your mind, there is a very strange reason." The empress looked at him as if she had already seen it in her bones.

Jiang Fan smiled: "No, you know, I often get off track."

"Hmm... that's true." The empress finally stopped asking.

"However, your thinking is a little off this time." Jiang Fan pointed to these dishes that were nothing more than cooked, boiled, and steamed and said: "You are used to eating in mortal homes, so you shouldn't be able to eat these."

"Are you wondering why you chose this place?" the empress said, looking down at the dishes.

Jiang Fan hummed: "Don't tell me that I have a strange reason every time. You are the one who has a reason for everything you do."

The corners of the empress's lips raised slightly: "You don't call this a family that refuses to enter the same house."

"That's right. So, Your Majesty, why are you traveling incognito today, and why are you here at Eight Hundred Flavors?"

The empress said calmly: "The Eight Hundred Flavors is just a temporary idea. However, there are some things in the court that are troubling, and it happens to have something to do with the Eight Hundred Flavors."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment and then said: "Zajia?"

Even though it happened like this many times, the empress still couldn't help but admire, has God blessed this brain?

"The Zajia. You know, the Zajia is not simple..."

How could Jiang Fan not know that today's Great Qin could actually exist because of his great contribution to the family. Two of them, in particular, laid the foundation for today.

One, Mr. Shang. He overcame all opinions and implemented the rule of law. From then on, Da Qin began to embark on the road to prosperity.

One, Mr. Lu, was a rare man. He rescued the Supreme Emperor and returned to Qin, and helped him ascend to the great throne, and he became the current empress.

This was an unparalleled feat. However, this feat did not bring them glory in their lifetime. Instead, Shang Jun had to die voluntarily. In the end, his body was divided into five pieces. It also made his junior brother Lu Fu embark on the road of rebellion, and finally committed suicide by drinking poison.

Even the Za family was torn apart and leaderless, becoming the largest loose sand in the Qin State.

"This is the biggest piece of loose sand. After all, everyone covets it, and the Lu family has never given up on making a comeback." The empress frowned as she spoke.

"It's very troublesome..." Jiang Fan also frowned slightly. Because of the outstanding achievements of the two generations, the Za family once occupied the court and was extremely prosperous.

Although the death of Shang Jun and Lu Fu led to the downfall of many people in the Zajia family, officials from the Zajia family still occupy 20% of the government, and their disciples scattered all over the country are even more powerful.

They are always madly hoping to restore the supreme glory of the past.

And this Babaiwei is the property of one of the powerful people, Ding Lang, the last disciple of the Zajia ancestor.

"Ding Lang was sent to southern Xinjiang by me, so it should have nothing to do with him."

The empress nodded: "When you are here, he certainly dare not come back easily, let alone make trouble easily. But someone is different..."

"Who is it?" Jiang Fan asked curiously.

"Lü Zhi."

"That wife of Li Xiu?" Jiang Fan's expression moved slightly.

"Yes, this woman is extremely stupid and not worth mentioning, but two problems make this matter complicated."

"First, is it because of Li Xiu?"

The empress nodded: "The left prime minister has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty and is extremely important."

"What about the other one?"

The empress said: "Of course it is the hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Miscellaneous School. They seem to be connected by someone with ulterior motives, reorganized, and began to stir."

"That shrew of the Lu family doesn't have this ability..."

The empress said lightly: "Of course not. She is just a bird that sticks out. Behind the scenes are those annoying court elders. When Shang Yang sacrificed for the country, these elders later came to Lu Fu's school, but they followed Shang Yang's aspirations and did not follow Lu Fu to rebel. Therefore, Lu Fu's rebellion did not implicate them. But now, they have begun to plan to revive the Miscellaneous School..."
