Chapter 897: The Fourth Prince of Lone Bamboo Country (2)
Why can you tolerate humiliation and act under your enemies?
Tian Xingwu's words made Jin Ling look at him with admiration. This sentence seemed to be mentioned unintentionally, but it contained more profound meanings. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a kind of provocation.
What to provoke? It is naturally the relationship between Jin Ling and Shang. As a neighboring country, if civil strife occurs in the Northern Jin Kingdom, it is naturally the most in line with the neighboring country's will. You can take the opportunity to interfere in the affairs of neighboring countries and seek huge benefits for your own country. Agree, if the Jin family hates Shang and fights out, the Guzhu Kingdom will have the opportunity to take the lizard from the fire, or even expand its territory and annex the Northern Jin Dynasty. This is not impossible.
Jin Ling naturally knew this. Over the years, countless people have asked him countless times, and he has answered the same answer countless times.
"Your Highness, I can only say that I am loyal to the people of Northern Jin than to the Shang family." Jin Ling smiled slightly and said, "I have never forgotten the hatred of the country and family. If I forget it, then how can I be a human? However, if I use my own strength to break out with the Shang family, even if I win in the end, the suffering will still be the people. Therefore, in order to let the people live a better life, my personal humiliation is not worth mentioning."
Tian Xingwu nodded admiringly: "June Jin is kind-hearted. To be honest, for so many years, I have seen that there is no power, including the country, that can allow the people under my rule to live a peaceful and prosperous life, or even be a little rich. At present, only Jinyuan has done it. The tens of thousands of people, thousands of immortals and soldiers under Jinyuan, I heard that they all support you very much."
This Fourth Prince is not a good-looking lamp. Jin Ling thought to himself.
"It's better not to talk about the affairs of the Northern Jin Kingdom." He changed the topic and turned to the aspects he was most concerned about at the moment. "Your Highness, I don't know how many princes there are in Guzhu Kingdom, and which prince is the current crown prince?"
There are several princes in Guzhu Country. Of course, he knows very well who the crown prince is. The information in Xintang is clearly stated.
Hearing this, Tian Xingwu's face became more serious. He said in a deep voice: "My father and prince don't have many children. The crown prince is my eldest brother Tian Xingwen. In addition, I have a third brother Tian Xingzhi. My second sister Tian Xingyue, although she is a woman, is familiar with the government affairs and has good friends with many ministers. She is very powerful. All the princes want to give her some points. Even my eldest brother, she will not give her face. And you should be very familiar with my sixth sister Tian Xingyun. She has married to your Northern Jin Kingdom since she was a child. She is the wife of your fourth prince Shang Can."
Speaking of this, he was quite angry, "I don't know what my father is thinking. My sixth sister is four years older than your fourth prince! That boy is simply a little brat! He became a kiss now!"
This is a political marriage between the two countries. Jin Ling thought to himself. Shang Can is only fifteen years old and has a weak personality. He has never had any sense of existence in the Northern Jin Kingdom. After Shang Jiong and Shang Yu died one after another, he fell into Shang Zhen's eyes and was also being secretly cultivated. At present, Shang Zhen has to rely on Jinyuan to maintain the rule of the Shang royal power in the Northern Jin Dynasty for him. Once Shang Can grows up, he may not need Jinyuan.
"Your Highness, we are destined to meet at the foot of Lingshan Mountain." Jin Ling tapped the table and said slowly, "Your Highness, I have heard a little about my Jinyuan in Guzhu Country, and I have heard of your country's state affairs. To be honest, Guzhu Country is a big country compared to the Northern Jin Kingdom. The population of Northern Jin is only more than four million, and the city is only one Jinhua City. Oh, now the three barbarians are added, but it is far from comparable to the five major cities of Guzhu Country, with a population of more than 20 million. However, Guzhu Country is very chaotic now. The Blood Spirit Sect from the northeast, the Lingshan monster group in the southwest, and the forces in the kingdom boycott each other and split and fight. It can be said that your country is in danger now, and the situation is much more serious than our Northern Jin Kingdom. Why is it that you, a big country, sending a letter to ask for help from our small northern Jin Kingdom? This is the reason."
After hearing his analysis so incisively, His Highness the Fourth Prince closed his eyes in pain.
"Beijing Jin was previously a two-high prince Shang Jiong and Shang Yu who fought for the crown prince. However, that was the premise that the Shang King had not clearly decided the crown prince. Your country had already decided to be the crown prince. The situation was still so bad. It can only be said that the king of the country was powerless and the crown prince was incompetent." Jin Ling continued to speak with an attitude of not being astonishing.
"As far as I see, Your Highness, you are a person with ambition and knowledge. Just because you dare to go to Lingshan to hunt under such a bad situation, you will know that Your Highness is extremely courageous. Since this is the case, have you never thought about sitting on the throne of the lonely bamboo in this life?"
These words made His Highness the Fourth Prince's face change drastically. He looked at Jin Ling blankly and couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, he raised his hand and pointed at the other party tremblingly: "Sir Jin, what does this mean?"
"It's nothing special." Jin Ling smiled and said, "My Highness and I fell in love with each other when we saw it, so I just said a few more words. Your Highness doesn't want to listen, so I just don't say it."
He had already seen Tian Xingwu's ambitions. Not to mention anything else, just seeing that the Yang family's Tieli Army was able to rescue him with all his might under Yang Yuan's leadership, he was not stingy, so he knew that his ambition was extraordinary.
Tian Xingwu thought for a long time and finally sighed, "Those who know me are you, Master Jin. I know Master, you are a very skilled person and a very powerful person. Your sister, with your help, now actually has the power of the Northern Jin Kingdom. Master Jin can say such words to me, definitely not aimlessly. Is it because he wants to help me and explore the throne?"
"It's not just about finding the throne, but helping you ascend the throne." Jin Ling said.
Tian Xingwu's fair face turned red with excitement, and his heart was beating. Of course, he wanted to sit in that seat and give orders to more than 20 million people across the country. However, whether in terms of seniority or strength and prestige, he was worse than the eldest prince and other princes, and even worse than his second sister Tian Xingyue.
"Sir Jin, don't joke." Thinking of this, Tian Xingwu smiled bitterly.
"It's definitely not a joke." Jin Ling's face was serious, "The Guzhu Kingdom is the northern barrier of the Northern Jin Kingdom. The chaos and unstable Guzhu Kingdom will sooner or later endanger the peace of the Northern Jin Kingdom. Therefore, letting Guzhu Kingdom and Lingshan settle down is the greatest national interest of the Northern Jin Kingdom now. Our Jinyuan is willing to help you fully and calm down the chaos of Guzhu."
"My brothers and sisters are all very capable. Why don't you help them?" Tian Xingwu said, "I don't have any foundation. It's very difficult to help me pacify Guzhu and ascend the throne."
It seems that Tian Xingwu is still very self-aware.
