Fish swimming around the world

"Hey!" Ji Zongyi's eyes were shining brightly: "Tell me, are you two... real or fake?"

Jiang Fan was helpless, even his heart of gossip was so similar.

"Really, really..."

Ji Zongyi actually seemed very happy and clapped his hands: "You have good eyesight. If it's true, dad really admires you. This girl is not something that a mere mortal can win. Is that... is that done?"

Jiang Fan was stunned, this man...

After a long while, looking at Ji Zongyi's stern eyes, he could only say: "Well, well... that, that's it..."

Ji Zongyi snapped his fingers, startling Jiang Fan.

"Beautiful! Take action when it's time to take action. My son is worthy of her Ying Wushuang."

Jiang Fan looked helplessly at the sky.

"But..." Ji Zongyi poked his head and said, "Boy, tell me the truth. What is your plan? With Qin Fuzhou?"

Jiang Fan understood that if the world knew his identity, they would basically have this idea, and Ji Zongyi was no exception. He also wanted to know what the prince thought and looked at. He pondered for a while and looked at him.

"Father, what do you think of the Great Zhou Dynasty today?"

Ji Zongyi didn't expect him to ask back, but he was just stunned for a moment, then sat up straight and let out a long breath: "Tell the truth?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "It's time for us, father and son, to be honest."

Ji Zongyi thought for a moment, stood up slowly, walked around the room for a while, and then stopped, his eyes seemed to be filled with despair.

"The dynasty has lasted for nearly a thousand years, but it cannot escape its ups and downs. Zhou... is exhausted."

Although I guessed that he might be disappointed with Da Zhou, I didn't expect that he would actually say this. He was exhausted and should not come from the mouth of the current prince.

"Do you think that a father shouldn't say that?" Ji Zongyi sighed and shook his head: "Two hundred years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty was completely reduced to a piece of scattered sand. The feudal princes were at war with each other and began to gnaw at the body of this aging lion. After experiencing After two hundred years of war, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been riddled with wounds and is dying. And the most terrifying thing is that this lion no longer has the strength to stand up and kill the wild dogs around it..."

Jiang Fan looked at him and said slowly: "Father...are you so pessimistic?"

Ji Zongyi shook his head: "It has nothing to do with pessimism. This is a historical necessity. Just like the Phoenix Dynasty, when they pioneered the enfeoffment system among princes, they were once extremely powerful. However, as the princes became more powerful, the Phoenix Dynasty's dominance would naturally decline. In the end, it was defeated by me. It was replaced by Zhou Dynasty, but Zhou Dynasty failed to learn the lessons of history and also promoted the enfeoffment of princes. However, in addition to the four major princes in the world, it also set up three hundred small princes to act as constraints..."

Ji Zongyi looked a little helpless and a little sarcastic: "But this is just a small trick. The essence has not changed. Naturally, it cannot escape the law of the rise and fall of dynasties. A system cannot be applied forever. After historical periods, the system cannot keep up with changes. Naturally, they will be eliminated.”

Jiang Fan tentatively asked: "Can't you change the system?"

Ji Zongyi looked at him: "You seem to have a more far-sighted vision than I do. You should know that it is difficult to change the political system, because this is the foundation for the founding and prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It cannot be changed. If you change, you will only die faster."

Jiang Fan sighed slowly: "Then, why doesn't the imperial court follow An Chao's example and simply..."

Ji Zongyi shook his head: "Power is like a sword to protect oneself. If you put it down, you will die. No one wants to die, so Dazhou is desperately trying to survive while seeking a way to revive."

Ji Zongyi's calmness and clear understanding of historical evolution were beyond Jiang Fan's expectation. This awareness itself was already too far ahead of its time.

"Don't think that I have been ill for many years and am just wallowing in grief. When I calm down, I can quietly see and think about many things. My father has already seen through it. Dazhou has completely collapsed. It's just a matter of time."

Jiang Fan finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "If this is the case, why are my grandfather, father, and uncle Wang still fighting and fighting among themselves? Isn't it better to work together to survive?"

Ji Zongyi smiled faintly: "Not everyone can see through it. You are on the outside and don't understand the people inside. Even your imperial grandfather may not be able to recognize this. Even if he does, it is impossible to give up. This is... the imperial power of the world. "

Jiang Fan nodded slightly, knowing that he was indeed looking at the problem from a forward-looking perspective, but in fact, this problem had no solution to those in power. Whether it's to save one's life or for rights and honor, it's impossible. This is a position that once you get up, you can't get down from.

"But you, boy, seem to be able to see through..." Ji Zongyi suddenly turned to look at him with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Why did your father say this?"

"Haha, kid, I'm still playing riddles with you. Let's go back to the topic just now. Didn't you choose Qin just to find a new way? The revival of the Zhou Dynasty is already as difficult as climbing to the sky. Why can't you establish a new dynasty?"

Jiang Fan was really surprised this time. Did Ji Zongyi see through his thoughts?

"The biggest problem here is...who calls himself the emperor and who becomes the emperor..."

When he said this, Jiang Fan suddenly realized that he was not completely detached. Although Ji Zongyi already had a clear understanding of historical development, in his heart, he obviously thought that he was creating a new world and reshaping a new dynasty. In the final analysis, he was just abandoning the Zhou Dynasty, which was nominally irreversible, and creating a new one in form. A different Song Dynasty or Tang Dynasty. And as long as the ruler remains unchanged, that is the most important thing.

Seeing Jiang Fan didn't speak, Ji Zongyi thought he was right.

"Since you chose to join the Western Qin Dynasty incognito, you probably had this purpose in mind, but this is the most difficult and boldest path to take, but I don't know that you want to fiercely seize the human throne from Ying Wu's hands. , or will future generations peacefully take over the world..."

Jiang Fan was stunned. Although Ji Zongyi's idea was not what he thought, it was surprising. Moreover, according to normal development, it would not go beyond these two results.

Suddenly I feel a little confused. Although I have no interest in the throne, my descendants seem to be passively carrying this dynasty temple?

But Ji Zongyi was very excited, "No matter what, it is a brilliant idea. There is no turning back due to the limitations of the Zhou government. Daqin is different. You can completely reopen the world and shape the universe. You can do whatever you want. You kid, your brains are a hundred times better than mine... …”

Seeing his excitement, Jiang Fan was just confused and stunned.

On the contrary, Ji Zongyi felt that this was due to the boy's shock after being told what he was thinking, and he was even a little complacent.

"Haha, you kid, you must have been right by me. Don't be shocked. Keep your name anonymous and create a new week. It's high. It's really high. Who would have thought that the one who wins the world will still be a descendant of my Ji family? When the world is settled, we will reveal it again. Just keep your identity, or what if it’s not exposed? We want actual benefits..."

He continued to reason excitedly on his own: "So, when my father knew about your idea, he decided to come back to the world quickly. For what purpose? Of course, he was doing things in the open to cover you up. The eyes of the world were staring at my father who was starting to become radical. Naturally, it will create more space for you in the dark..."
