Chapter 2046 Five Elders Association
"Nonsense!" You Shei said angrily: "In the eyes of the world, doesn't this mean that the imperial court is choosing allies? If it is so biased, where does it put the other four countries?"
Elder Sick Man was not in a hurry, and continued to speak softly: "If there is any difference between Elder Dead's words, who is the leader of the alliance? At the meeting of the Five Elders a few days ago, didn't you also say that the world is divided and the imperial court is weak, so we must give the imperial court Only with the support of force can the four parties be intimidated, and the prince can be regarded as coincident with you. From now on, when the five countries have something to do, the leader will come forward first, and the imperial court will support it with decrees. It will be easier to resolve disputes by combining hardness and softness, and using yin and yang."
"That's nonsense! If this goes on for a long time, won't the alliance leader have exclusive power? By then it will be enough to ask the alliance leader, but what else will the imperial court do?"
The sick man elder said calmly: "The prince is not stupid. Isn't this adding a new prime minister to check and balance? There are leaders of the five countries outside, and there are countries holding whips inside, which can check and balance each other. The imperial court is in the middle, which is a good strategy."
Yousei immediately sneered: "What will happen if the Jin Kingdom wins another Prime Minister?"
The sick man said unhurriedly: "I don't think so. The King of Jin knows how to advance and retreat. Judging from the fact that he only has five guards, it can be seen that he has no intention of making any further progress."
"But does the prince know how to advance or retreat? Qin and Jin have obviously formed an alliance, which is squeezing the three kingdoms!"
The sick man shook his head: "Squeeze is not the right word. The five kingdoms are all princes and kings of the imperial court. As the prince is the supervisor of the country, why should he favor one over the other."
Youshi's eyes were filled with gray light and he said: "Sick man, you are very good at defending the prince. A pair of allies join forces to sit in the imperial court. How can it be fair to the other three countries!"
The sick man frowned slightly: "Yousei, what you said is very strange. Since the enfeoffment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has been a common practice for the princes and kings to form alliances. Not long ago, Chu and Xia formed an alliance, and Xia and Jin also formed an alliance. Why don't you criticize me like this? And the imperial court chose A pair of allies have obviously considered carefully and won the support of the allied country, which shows that the imperial court has decided the two countries and is one step closer to peace of the world. Isn't it a good thing? "
Yousei was speechless for a moment. Indeed, if you look at it from the normal perspective of Taiyue and the Imperial Court, this is what happened.
But he was obviously very unwilling and said with a sneer: "Why don't you do it sooner rather than later? You have to wait until the Holy Land has the will to do it. Isn't it against the Holy Land?"
"It can only be said that the prince understands the meaning of the Holy Land and takes the initiative to do things. This cannot be wrong, but it is worthy of praise." The sick man said slowly.
"You!" Yousheng was extremely angry, but he felt that the matter itself was unreasonable and the sick man was taking advantage of him.
At this moment, Can Xin finally spoke: "What you two said has some truth, but I'm afraid that Wei and Xia won't accept it, and this move will actually stir up disputes and war. I'm afraid there's something wrong with it."
The sick man said calmly: "Of course, according to what I saw, Wei and Xia did not raise any objections. On the contrary, they signed and stamped their credentials. Since all countries agree and have secret documents prepared, why should we argue?"
Lao Mu, who had been silent until now, said now: "What the three of you have seen makes sense, but this matter is too strange. Dianchi Lake will act in secret, and the secret court has not spoken out beforehand. There is no guarantee that there is no suspicion of coercion. It must be handled properly." good."
The sick man sighed to himself, this was indeed the only fault he could find. Although it was not big, it could not be circumvented. But there was nothing he could do. In order to compete with Taiyue for time, the prince couldn't possibly leak it beforehand.
But the sick man had his own words to respond, and his tone became a little heavy: "To govern the world today, isn't it just to govern the five countries? The imperial court took measures, and even secretly monitored it, and it was finally recognized by the five countries, which shows that this is a feasible way. Why must we deny it? Does the Holy Land want to deny imperial administration and secret supervision, and change its course and take charge of the government personally? "
These words were undoubtedly very serious, and the Wulao Palace was completely silent for a while. No one dared to refute easily.
After a long silence, Yousei snorted loudly and turned his gaze to the south: "Master Changsheng, you have been in seclusion for a long time. I don't know that the world is quarreling over this matter, and the five countries are in panic. In three days, it will be the time for the imperial decree to be issued. As the Five Holy Lands Chief Elder, I hope the Great Elder will come up with something!”
Due to the south, Changsheng finally slowly opened his eyes and said in a calm voice: "Everyone, the Holy Land and the Imperial Court are all in peace, and we don't need to argue endlessly. As I see it, the key lies in whether there are checks and balances in the alliance. If so, , this matter is feasible. Therefore, the key to the response lies in the position of the Prime Minister. If someone who is not from the Jin Kingdom can hold the Divine Whip, his country will be the Prime Minister, and the Jin will be the leader. If the balance is not successful, then this matter will be fine. It remains to be discussed... What do you think?"
When he said this, the four elders fell silent. Indeed, the Holy Land cannot overthrow the imperial decree for no reason. Only when the decree is really biased can it meet the conditions. Then the key does fall on the Prime Minister.
But here comes the question, can it fall on Jiang Fan? Of course You Sheng and others are not willing to do so. The only way is to prevent Jiang Fan from getting this title.
There was deep worry in the sick man's eyes. Changsheng's remarks seemed to be centered and impartial, but in the eyes of the sick man, they pointed out the direction for Yousheng and others - to stop Jiang Fan.
But how to stop Jiang Fan? However, when the imperial court issued this decree, Jiang Fan must have some confidence. He may have received the Dazai inheritance and be able to use the magic whip. So how to stop it? Another assassination? Not very realistic anymore. As for interception, it is obvious that since Da Qin has obtained the imperial edict, he must be fully prepared, and the possibility is almost zero.
There seemed to be nothing he could do, but the sick man clearly noticed a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
His heart sank. He was obviously prepared.
Suddenly, the sick man seemed to realize something. Among the five quotas, as long as someone can also control the divine weapon, even if it is slightly inferior to Jiang Fan, it is enough. Although Jiang Fan’s reward cannot be cancelled, the matter of the prime minister must be another matter. At that time, Jiang Fan’s identity, age, qualifications, etc. will become an excuse, and he will be replaced naturally.
And the person who can probably control the divine whip is probably determined to die. At this time, a name slowly emerged in the sick man’s mind, and his eyebrows could not help but frowned tightly.
Asking himself, the sick man himself is not so determined to push Jiang Fan, but his apprentice has determined this matter and must do it, so there must be his reasons. The sick man knows that he must support it.
Unfortunately, having said this, he can’t insist on anything anymore. Everything depends on fate three days later.
——
Jiang Fan arrived a day in advance. The imperial court greeted him with drums according to etiquette. As usual, it was still the official of the Ministry of Rites, Fei Wuji, who came forward.
After entering the mountain, he had separated from the King of Jin. Each prince had a special post house. But Master Jiang doesn't need it, because he has a house in Taiyue. The prince built him a Zhenxi Palace in the imperial court.
But Jiang Fan didn't expect that the palace was well-maintained. Although it didn't occupy a large area, it was luxurious. It was even equipped with Lishan floor tiles and glass, and even the furniture was Lishan style.
Fei Tianguan explained that now, except for Ziwei Palace and some places that need to follow ancient rituals, most other places have replaced Lishan items. After all, they are exquisite and easy to use. The imperial court has so many treasures offered by the five countries every year, so it would be a waste if it is not used.
Jiang Fan thought about it, and it was true. Anyway, these tributes were not enough to support the soldiers, and they could not be supported. The imperial court didn't have so many officials to support, so it was better to use this money on the appearance.
