Fish swimming around the world

Sima Ru shook his head slightly: "The prince was born and acted as regent. His methods are completely different from those of previous emperors. No one can guess what he is thinking."

Jiang Fan looked at him: "Brother is a little afraid of the prince?"

Sima Ru laughed: "The five countries all respect the imperial court, so they naturally respect the prince. Why should we be afraid? We can only talk based on the facts. But I don't know, what does Brother Li think of His Highness the prince?"

Jiang Fan said: "In the past, after all, I experienced the prince's first visit to the court, but Xiu did not have this luck. It is really difficult to judge. However, judging from his birth, he was decisive in dealing with things and had superb methods. He had the appearance of a wise king. Great Zhou Dynasty is very lucky."

Sima Ru stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Brother Li is very cautious in what he says. In fact, you and I both know that the imperial court is declining. Even though the prince is gifted with talents, it may be extremely difficult for him to restore the country."

Li Xiudao: "Brother, what you said is a bit treacherous."

Sima Ru sighed: "To tell the truth, during the reign of King Wu, the Wei Dynasty and the imperial court were at odds with each other. Even if the king tried his best to repair it, how could he regain his trust? Those words about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country are just in vain to make people laugh."

"These words... don't seem to come from the mouth of Wei Guoshi, who has always been steady."

Sima Ru said: "It doesn't matter whether we are similar or not. But now that Qin and Jin have formed an alliance, my country, Wei, is really feeling a little uncomfortable and under a lot of pressure. I just go to Brother Li to complain."

Jiang Fan chuckled: "The person you are looking for is not a human being. Xiu is the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. Is it possible that I still hope that Xiu can persuade His Majesty to change his ways?"

"Of course I don't think so." Sima Ru picked up the tea cup and blew lightly: "To untie the bell, you need the person who tied the bell. Just like this tea, if you want to drink good tea from the source, you have to find the tea maker. "

"Brother, are you talking about His Highness the Regent? Could it be that you want to persuade Qin and Jin to terminate their alliance?"

Sima Ru said: "It's not that easy. Jiang Xiaoyao's handwriting is more difficult to predict than that of the prince, but..."

He slowly put down the tea cup: "Jiang Xiaoyao's move has offended the king a lot. He really has no scruples, so he is so unscrupulous?"

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes. He heard these words, and he was still testing himself, and the person he used was Xiao Hong. This is a warning to himself, don't go too far, otherwise it will be difficult to say anything. The four words "without scruples" are just a reminder to Jiang Fan that King Wei may make any response.

Jiang Fan was annoyed. King Wei was really like a tiger and a wolf. He even used the friendship between his children as a bargaining chip and didn't care about status or face at all.

But he couldn't take it as understanding, let alone talk about it in depth, otherwise Sima, like an old fox, would inevitably doubt his true identity.

"Xiu believes that King Wei is overthinking. Qin is now rich in products and Jin is prosperous in trade. The two countries have formed an alliance to get what they need. The word "unscrupulous" may not be appropriate. Could it be that King Wei intends to threaten His Highness the Regent? Where is the weight? "

Sima Ru looked at him for a moment and then said: "Brother Li, what did you say? If this happens, I, the Wei Dynasty, will probably also seek allies."

Jiang Fan said calmly: "Excuse me for being blunt, Chu and Xia are attacking Wei, and the war is over. Xiu can't think of how the king of Wei can form an alliance?"

Sima Ru narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother Li, do you think that the Wei Dynasty is surrounded by enemies and has no choice?"

Jiang Fan shook his head: "No, the affairs of the country are at this moment and that moment. Xiu is just curious. In such a situation, even if the King of Wei looks heroic, he may be in trouble."

Sima Ru smiled softly and said: "There is no perfect way for mankind. Besides, we have a strong army and a strong horse, and the civil and military power of the Wei Dynasty. If you just want to ask Brother Li to bring a message to Jiang Xiaoyao, you can't say all the words, and you can't stop the power. If everything is too great, If it ends, fate will end soon."

Jiang Fan stared at the tea cup for a moment, then raised his head slightly: "Although Xiu doesn't understand the meaning of these words, my Highness the Regent must understand them. I will bring Xiu Ding with you, but... please remember, King Wei, that I, the Regent of Great Qin, can If you are not a person who plays cards according to common sense, you should be careful when saying this.”

Sima Ru chuckled: "You and I are just chatting, why should we get involved? Come on, come on, let's drink tea."

After seeing off Sima Ru, Jiang Fan felt very annoyed. The meeting had not yet started, and the people below were all testing each other. They were surrounded by clouds and fog, and they couldn't figure out what the prince meant, so they had to talk about other things in circles, which was really awkward.

But he didn't want to refuse. After all, it was an opportunity for him to communicate with all parties. To be honest, it was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the top figures from the five countries.

So, not surprisingly, he welcomed Lord Shiraishi.

As an ally of the Qin State, the Jin State Master was very frank and directly stated that he would attend the meeting with the King of Jin.

Jiang Fan immediately expressed his intention to participate. Mr. Bai Shi nodded: "Does Mr. Li know the purpose of the conference?"

After he asked this question, Jiang Fan had finally determined that the cheap daddy was really cautious and no one knew the whole story.

Li Xiu shook his head: "The one who is least likely to know is our country, Qin. Does the Duke have any inside information?"

Bai Shigong shook his head: "I originally planned to go to Canngling for business in the near future, and I didn't want this to happen unexpectedly. Although I made many secret visits, there was still no news. Even Taiyue didn't get any news beforehand. The prince's move was very secretive."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Yes, the prince's secret letter states that this is a secret meeting, which is of great importance to the health and well-being of our Qin country. I wonder how it is explained in the secret letter to Jin?"

Baishi said: "My king is about to tell the Lord of Qin that what is stated in the secret letter is of vital importance to Jin's post-war recovery and even its future unification."

Jiang Fan's expression changed slightly: "Look at it this way, the secret letters of the five countries are different."

Bai Shiqing said: "I visited the other three countries. Although I couldn't find out the news, since they were all absent, they must have something that they attach great importance to. Perhaps as Li Xiang guessed, the secret letters of the five countries are very different."

Jiang Fan thought for a moment: "How do you guess?"

Bai Shigong pondered for a long time, then lowered his body and said, "Maybe... it has something to do with Taiyue."

Others are hostile to Qin, but Jin is Qin's current ally, so the two sides can really talk about something.

Jiang Fan's eyes moved slightly: "The five-nation alliance leader..."

Bai Shigong's eyes flickered: "It's a coincidence. Taiyue wants the five countries to form an alliance and select an alliance leader to supervise the imperial court and support the government. The prince's move may be a targeted strategy."

Jiang Fan pondered for a long time: "The world is not a time of three hundred princes, nor is it a time of chaos of eighteen kings. It is simply incomprehensible that only five countries are still selecting an alliance leader. But in any case, this move directly endangers the imperial court. It is understandable that the prince wants to change, but... he is really so bold to disobey Taiyue?"

Bai Shi Gong also frowned: "What other bargaining chips do you have? If this is really the case, one careless move will give Taiyue an excuse and the imperial court will be in danger."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Yes, unless the prince is sure of success, but looking at the situation in the world, it is really hard to imagine where the chess will go."

"In any case, it must be related to the Five Kingdoms and the Dark Dynasty. The prince is the crown prince and represents the imperial court. He is qualified to hold a meeting of the vassal states. Taiyue can't say anything about this, but it doesn't mean that Taiyue will let him do it." Bai Shigong said solemnly.

"The prince will not fail to consider this, so he will act secretly first to gain the upper hand."

Bai Shigong said: "Even if the prince acts secretly, it is almost impossible to hide the unusual movements of the monarchs of the Five Kingdoms from Taiyue, and once the Holy Land detects something unusual, it will definitely take measures immediately.
