Fish swimming around the world

After Jiang Fan said this, the two of them looked at the empress. They had only heard about Jiang Fan's self-governance in his fiefdom, and they still needed the empress to confirm it.

The empress naturally understood, and then put down the teacup: "The self-governance of the fiefdom is indeed true, and the laws and decrees of the Qin State are not included in it."

Huangfu Zhaoye hesitated and said: "Then I don't know why the king put down state affairs and came here in person..."

The empress looked at him: "Why don't you ask the heavenly man just now."

Huangfu Zhaoye was a little surprised. The empress and the heavenly man had a deep feud, and the statement that he came to pursue Tian'er was completely reasonable.

But the sick man suddenly said at this time: "I have always heard that for an emperor, family affairs and national affairs cannot be confused. I wonder what the king of Qin thinks?"

Huangfu Zhaoye thought about it for a while, and then he understood why he asked so. The relationship between the empress and Jiang Fan is unclear, and the sick man is still worried.

This is indeed worrying. Once Zhang Zhiling enters Mount Li, who can supervise him? At that time, we can only rely on Zhang Zhiling's character.

The empress's eyes turned cold: "Fourth Elder, I respect you as the fifth elder of Taiyue. You should also know that I am the king of a country. My family and state affairs do not need others to ask."

She suddenly changed her attitude, and the two of them were shocked.

The identity of the sick man is roughly equivalent to Taihua Lu Ya, and this person has just chopped Lu Ya.

The sick man coughed lightly: "I just asked casually. Taiyue is in charge of the temple, so he naturally cares more."

The empress said lightly: "Taiyue has not recognized me. Ask again when he recognizes me."

The sick man was speechless here.

Jiang Fan was amused, come on, shut up yourself. He firmly believed that even if Taiyue recognized the empress in the future, the empress would still domineeringly say: Are you, Taiyue, going to rule the country for me?

Anyway, in a word, the empress has no respect for the world, let alone you, a Taiyue who rose later.

To be honest, Jiang Fan occasionally wondered what the empress's confidence was, the millions of Qin cavalry? Or her own military strength?

Even if both were powerful, it was really a one-man show against the world. Not to mention the Holy Land and the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Sometimes, Jiang Fan always felt that something behind the scenes was not only complicated, but also vaguely felt that there was a huge secret.

The sick man was speechless, and Huangfu Zhaoye didn't know how to respond. But both of them understood one thing, with the empress here, they might not be able to stop Zhang Zhiling today. Unless Zhang Zhiling himself didn't plan to go, but the call of "good disciple" meant that he had made a decision.

"It's just that my Songbai Hall..."

Zhang Zhiling seemed a little worried.

Jiang Fan immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have some friendship with Bai Shigong of Jin State and Master Yan. Who can we ask to come forward? Can't we get two great scholars? This is to take over your job. Those people must be racking their brains."

Zhang Zhiling seemed helpless: "Alas - you kid, you have already arranged it. It seems that I may have to help my disciple."

Jiang Fan smiled: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master."

Huangfu and Bingfu looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness. They knew that things had come to this point and could not be stopped.

After understanding the situation, Huangfu Zhaoye paused for a moment, then bowed and laughed: "Congratulations, the old prime minister has never accepted a disciple. It is really a great honor to have a world-class genius like King Xiaoyao as a disciple in his later years. If it were not for today, I would still be in the dark. This time, why not use tea instead of wine to toast my old friend."

Prime Minister Zhang smiled and said: "This matter has not been made public. After all, I have never taught anything. This master is not competent."

Jiang Fan was so happy. Prime Minister Zhang publicly acknowledged the master-disciple relationship, which is amazing.

Who is this person? Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, to put it bluntly, who in the world would not give him some face?

Strictly speaking, his accepting of a disciple is a very important matter. Taiyue, the Great Zhou, the Five Kingdoms, and even Taihua, who dominates the world, will pay close attention to it.

In this way, Jiang Fan's identity is different. At least Prime Minister Zhang's influence is there, and his status is rising. Moreover, he has so many disciples and old friends in high positions, and there must be a lot of help from them...

Naturally, it is good for Jiang Fan, but not good for many others.

Especially, Master Huangfu, he has been sighing in his heart, I am afraid that Zhang Zhiling's network of relations in the five countries will belong to this disciple from today.

Unfortunately, this disciple is not an ordinary person, he is a genius with extraordinary talent and wisdom. His status as the King of Qin, plus the disciple of Prime Minister Zhang, will have a great impact on the world situation in the future.

Zhang Zaifu seemed quite satisfied and smiled: "Today, old friends are gathering, I have prepared some wine, how about getting drunk together?"

The sick man coughed lightly and said: "I am not in good health and I am not good at drinking. I have other things to do this time. Prime Minister, I appreciate your kindness."

Zhang Zhiling did not try to keep him. In fact, what he meant by saying this was that he wanted to end the conversation.

Huangfu Zhaoye sighed inwardly and looked at Zhang Zhiling: "Old friend, the great worshiper has passed away. According to his will, his ashes are scattered on the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai. If you have time, you can go and burn incense."

Zhang Zhiling was also a little disappointed: "The great worshiper has died, and only then did Zhang Zhiling have a great enlightenment. I will pay tribute to him one day."

Huangfu Zhaoye stood up and bowed: "In this case, I will take my leave."

Then he bid farewell to the empress. The empress suddenly said: "Convey two things for me. First, tell those people that my Great Qin does not need a secret court. Second, King Xiaoyao is the king of my Qin State, and his affairs are my affairs."

After that, she brushed her sleeves and drank tea by herself.

The two sick men looked slightly stagnant, but did not reply, bowed and said goodbye and left.

To be honest, the empress suddenly spoke, and Jiang Fan was a little confused. After thinking for a while, an unusual light flashed in his eyes.

After the two teams walked away, Zhang Zhiling looked at the empress meaningfully, and then glared at Jiang Fan: "Boy, you are good!"

Jiang Fan laughed dryly, "Hehe, I am just improvising. The old man must not want to go back to Taiyue. There must be a reason..."

Zhang Zhiling sighed and shook his head: "You chose a good time. I am considered to have been fooled by you."

Jiang Fan stood up and bowed three times in a serious manner: "Disciple, meet the master."

Zhang Zhiling pointed at him, a little speechless.

Jiang Fan said seriously: "Zaifu has a great influence on Jiang Fan. I really want to be his disciple. I hope you will accept me as your disciple."

Zhang Zhiling put down his hand and smiled bitterly: "I have already accepted you. Why do you say these things? Even if I don't accept you, those old guys in Taiyue and Dazhou won't believe it."

"Master is insightful." Jiang Fan said seriously.

Zhang Zhiling laughed and cried: "Lazy man... No wonder Gongshu said you are not a good thing."

Gongshu? It means the old patriarch Gongshu. But the problem is that when I met the old patriarch, I didn't know Zhang Zaifu yet, which means that they met after I met Zhang Zaifu in Linjiang Pavilion. But if that's the case, why is the old patriarch still playing dumb with me, what about the pine and cypress land?
