Zhuang Feng looked at Zhou Jian's serious appearance, smiled like that, and said, "Do you really want to hear it?"

"Say;" Zhou Jian said bluntly;

"If I say that I want Qiaozhou because we are brothers, and I can't bear to let the territory you have worked hard for the past ten years be taken back by me like this, do you believe it?" Zhuang Feng also changed into a rather serious appearance, and said calmly there;

"I believe it;" Zhou Jian said seriously;

Zhuang Feng's words were very serious, and Zhou Jian also believed in Zhuang Feng's brotherhood with him; if Zhuang Feng was a little unbearable, this Zhou Jian would believe it; however, Zhou Jian also believed that Zhuang Feng had other ideas besides this brotherhood;

Zhuang Feng is such a person, many times he is able to have both his own interests and maintain friendship at the same time;

"Happy, I'm really happy when you say that;" Zhuang Feng said quite sincerely;

"I want to know what you think;" Zhou Jian was not confused by Zhuang Feng's rather sincere appearance, and asked Zhuang Feng's specific thoughts;

"Now that I take Tongzhou back, it's not the best choice for me;

With Zhuang Feng's words, Zhou Jian also fell into silent thinking, Zhuang Feng looked at Zhou Jian and thought about something, and did not continue to say anything, just quietly lit a cigarette and looked at Zhou Jian;

Zhuang Feng now sits on the two states of Jiangshao; if you want to expand your strength, then Tongzhou is the best choice; although you can also go out of Jiangzhou to fight for Xizhou, but the situation in Xizhou is too complicated, and even Zhou Jian has to wait until he owns the entire southwest and Pingzhou to invest in Xizhou;

With Zhuang Feng's current strength, Xizhou can't have ideas; since it can't move Xizhou, it can only move Tongzhou; as for Qiaozhou, it is completely blocked by Tongzhou, and it is located on the southern border, so the sustainable development or the growth of Zhuang Feng's strength is not as good as Tongzhou;

Zhou Jian thought about it, he really couldn't understand Zhuang Feng's intention to not want Tongzhou but to Qiaozhou; he didn't understand this, Zhou Jian didn't continue to think about it, but said directly: "I don't understand;"

Zhuang Feng looked at Zhou Jian and looked at him with an unpredictable expression, but he bluntly said that he couldn't understand, which made Zhuang Feng a little disappointed, but he didn't continue to hang Zhou Jian, but said directly: "Who is the highest commander of the Qiaozhou Military Bureau?"

Zhou Jian still didn't understand that Zhuang Feng suddenly said something inconsequential there, but he still replied quite seriously: "Zhuang Shaolin;"

"Isn't that over, my Zhuang people have already sat down to the top of the state military administration, I don't want Qiaozhou to go to Tongzhou to do anything, I'm full;" Zhuang Feng said with a little convulsion;

For Zhuang Feng's words, Zhou Jian was shocked there;

Zhuang Feng didn't play like this, there were more people surnamed Zhuang that day, and no one thought that Zhuang Shaolin, who was the supreme governor of the Qiaozhou Military Administration, was actually a member of the Zhuang family;

It is not a secret that all families have their own people in the military and political circles, and this is a fact that almost everyone knows;

And once it is confirmed, Jindu will definitely not be soft there; regarding this, it has happened a lot of times in Jinguo over the years, but the level of the people who have been exposed is not too high, the highest one is also a state vice-president, and the highest rank in the military is not only the colonel regimental level;

Now the people of the Zhuang family actually sat in the position of the highest governor of the state military department, and they were not recognized by Jindu, which really shocked Zhou Jian;

Zhou Jian was shocked and also understood why Zhuang Feng wanted to go to Qiaozhou instead of Tongzhou;

It seems that Qiaozhou is blocked by Tongzhou, but once Zhuang Feng gets Qiaozhou, then it will be connected with Shaozhou, and Shaozhou and Jiangzhou will also be connected; in this way, the land of Zhuang Feng's three states will be connected; and most importantly, the army of Qizhou will control Zhuang Shaolin's hands, which is equivalent to controlling Zhuang Feng's hands;

That is tens of thousands of first-class field troops in Jinguo, plus the garrisons and military and police units stationed in various cities, that Zhuang Feng controls tens of thousands of armed forces at one time;

Compared with today's Zhou Jian, although there are also three southwestern states, there are no tens of thousands of armed forces, not to mention the regular military armed forces raised by Jinguo;

Zhuang Feng has the backing of tens of thousands of regular military forces in Qiaozhou, so even if Jindu discovers Zhuang Shaolin's true identity, he will be able to stare at Zhuang Feng at that time;

The Qiaozhou Military Administration is under the jurisdiction of the Shaozhou Military Region, or in other words, the defense area of the Shaozhou Military Region is the five southwestern prefectures; Jiangzhou, which is the headquarters of the Southwest Military Region, is under the control of Zhuang Feng, and as long as Zhuang Feng is willing, the Shaozhou Military Region cannot even issue a half-word order;

Thinking of this, Zhou was a little shocked and lost his mind, and also figured out why Zhuang Feng was always staring at Jiangzhou, he was exiled by his family ten years ago and went to Jiangzhou, and he came back ten years later in Jiangzhou, originally thought that it was just because the Zhuang family was in Jiangzhou, but now that he thinks about it, the Zhuang family chose Jiangzhou and still has a more long-term plan;

As for why Zhuang Shaolin was able to sit in that position, this Zhou Jian no longer cared; perhaps, Zhuang Shaolin was put on the bright side like this, but it would not make people suspect that he was a member of the Zhuang family;

"Give me a cigarette;" Zhou Jian reacted easily and said out loud;

With Zhou Jian's words, Zhuang Feng casually threw the cigarette to Zhou Jian, and Zhou Jian continued to smoke and lit it quite skillfully there;

Zhou Jian lit a cigarette, took a deep breath there, and then choked and coughed violently, as if even his lungs were about to cough out, and it took a long time to calm down, and then said out loud to the there: "Thank you;"

Zhuang Feng smiled and didn't speak; Zhou Jian's thank you was not polite because Zhuang Feng gave him cigarettes, but Zhuang Feng let Zhou Jian know such a secret, and at the same time, it was also what Zhuang Feng just said, don't Tongzhou really can't bear to let Zhou Jian's ten years of hard work be in vain, and Zhuang Feng really doesn't need Tongzhou now, and Naqiao Zhou is more in line with Zhuang Feng's current needs;

"Our brother, we have a share;" Zhuang Feng said angrily;

"I agree to this deal;" Zhou Jian said seriously;

Zhuang Feng didn't say anything more, Zhou Jian agreed that it was best; if Zhou Jian didn't agree to exchange Qizhou for Pingzhou, then Zhuang Feng would really support the Cai family; for this, Zhou Jian also believed that Zhuang Feng could do it;

When Zhuang Feng fell into silence, Zhou Jian also received the latest news about Cai Xingmiao;

"Didn't Cai Yongzhuo do it?" Zhou Jian looked at the recent news on the computer and said with some surprise;

With Zhou Jian's words, Zhuang Feng also leaned over to look at the latest news that Zhou Jian got;

According to the news from Zhou Jian's people, Cai Xingmiao died last night due to food allergies;

The New Year is approaching, and the juniors of the Cai family have begun to return to the Cai family compound one after another;

Last night, because the children of several great-great-grandchildren returned to the Caijia compound, let the Cai Xingmiao enjoy the happiness of the five generations in the same house; I was happy to play there, and I was quite happy to play with the children of several great-grandchildren, and then I accompanied a few great-grandchildren to eat some snacks and pastries, and then I had allergy symptoms, and when I was sent to the private hospital of Caijia, I died because I couldn't be rescued;

"What can't you see here?" Zhuang Feng looked at Zhou Jian, not understanding why Zhou Jian confirmed there that it was not Cai Yongzhuo's doing;

"The old man Cai is over ninety years old, and as the head of the Cai family, what have he been allergic to for so many years, don't the people of the Cai family know? The items in the Cai family's compound, especially the food, who will bring in the things that make the old man Cai allergic?" Zhou Jian said there;

"So what?" Zhuang Feng still didn't understand;

"Cai Yongzhuo is the grandson of the old man Cai, but he has no heirs, and his position in the Cai family is threatened, so he will reach an agreement with me;" Zhou Jian continued;

This time, Zhuang Feng could understand it;

Cai Yongzhuo is a grandson of the long house but has no heirs, and his status is really threatened when Cai Xingmiao has a great-great-grandson, but he can't find a solution, like an old man like Cai Xingmiao, then the love of the juniors in the same house of the fifth generation far exceeds that of the children and grandchildren, and Cai Xingmiao naturally has the idea of changing people;

It was precisely because Cai Yongzhuo discovered such thoughts that he reached some agreement with Zhou Jian, who did not hesitate to collude with outsiders, to protect his position;

Cai Xingmiao has the idea of changing people, and other people will naturally follow suit;

It is natural that all the spearheads will be pointed at Cai Yongzhuo, in the face of such a situation, Cai Yongzhuo can't say it even if he is mixed up, not to mention that it is still a premeditated plan, and when the time comes, Cai Yongzhuo will not only lose the identity of the heir, but even have to take his life;

This is why Zhou Jian was sure that it was not Cai Yongzhuo who did it, if Cai Yongzhuo did this, it would undoubtedly be playing with fire**;

However, it is not ruled out that Cai Yongzhuo is going to take advantage of the possibility of Cai Xingmiao changing the heir to confirm the identity of his own family, after all, Cai Yongzhuo is still the designated heir of Cai Xingmiao;

"Cai Yongzhuo has scheming and courage, and he can be regarded as a qualified family heir;" Zhou Jian looked at Zhuang Feng and seemed to understand something, and said out loud;

Zhuang Feng looked at Zhou Jian and waited for Zhou Jian to continue, because Zhuang Feng had never dealt with Cai Yongzhuo, and he didn't know much about Cai Yongzhuo's behavior style;

"However, Cai Yongzhuo also has a low self-esteem, and I don't know what the reason may be related to the fact that he has no heirs;" Zhou Jian continued;

"It's contradictory, isn't it?" Zhuang Feng listened to Zhou Jian's words and said there;

Scheming and courageous, but at the same time inferior, this personality is too split, right?

"It's a bit contradictory, but people with inferiority complex don't put themselves on the tip of a spear;" Zhou Jian continued;

Now Zhuang Feng understands it;

Cai Yongzhuo did make some agreements with Zhou Jian because his position as heir was threatened, but that was to prevent Cai Xingmiao from abolishing his identity as heir, not to do Cai Xingmiao and let himself sit on the position of the head of the family in advance;

Now Cai Xingmiao died suddenly, which is both a good thing and a bad situation for Cai Yongzhuo;

The advantage is that you can sit on the status of the head of the family, and the evil situation is the notoriety of killing ancestors;

"Wait, wait for the official news from the Caijia;" Zhuang Feng understood the dispute, and said to the person there rather boredly;

According to the rules, generally speaking, when the head of a certain family dies, he will send a message to other families, and then he will rush to pretend to mourn as he makes friends;

"You can't just wait, at least you have to prepare some gold;" Zhou Jian laughed with a treacherous expression;

"You prepare the gold, and I can rush over now as the grandson-in-law of the Cai family;" Zhuang Feng said pretending to be there;

"Are you serious?" Zhou Jian looked at Zhuang Feng's pretentious appearance and asked with some hesitation;

"False;" replied Zhuang Feng casually;

After a pause, he continued: "It's true that you hurry up and withdraw the power of Qiaozhou now, I will immediately call our seventh child and ask him to hurry up to receive Qiaozhou;"

"Now?" Zhou Jian didn't know if what Zhuang Feng said was true or a joke;

Zhou Jian agreed to the exchange with Zhuang Feng, but it didn't seem to be the matter at the moment, shouldn't he concentrate on annexing Pingzhou now?

"Old Man Cai passed away, Cai Yongzhuo provoked a bad smell, is there no other person in the Cai family? You mobilize the power of Tingzhou, can you hide it from the Cai family?" Zhuang Feng looked at Zhou Jian with a somewhat puzzled appearance, and said there;

Without waiting for Zhou Jian to speak, Zhuang Feng continued to say: "Now hurry up and draw the strength of Qiaozhou, so far away, even if the Cai family knows about the movements of Qiaozhou, they will not think that you did it, even if they think that you did it, but isn't Qiaozhou still far away?

Following Zhuang Feng's words, Zhou Jian nodded with him, as if he felt that Zhuang Feng was reasonable;

Zhuang Feng looked at Zhou Jian's look of approval, and didn't point to what Zhou Jian would say, so he said there: "Hurry up and take away the power of Qiaozhou, our seventh child is an acute son, and there will be a conflict when the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding me;"

Zhou Jian also nodded with Zhuang Feng's words, thinking about it, he felt that Zhuang Feng's words seemed to be a little boundless the more he spoke;

"You won't take the opportunity to swallow my manpower in Qiaozhou, will you?" Zhou Jian reacted a little and said quite seriously;

"We are brothers, as brothers, I just remind you to move fast, the so-called fast hands have slow hands, and you can't even eat a hot bean curd if you run slowly;" Zhuang Feng said quite seriously;

"Get out;" Zhou Jian finally reacted, Zhuang Feng was joking, but the joke was also true;

Zhuang Feng watched Zhou Jian react, made a gesture to that, and then ignored Zhou Jian anymore, and took out the phone to call Tang Guiyi;

"Seventh Master, how are the New Year's goods going?" Zhuang Feng did not shy away from it, and directly talked to Tang Guiyi in Zhou Jian's study;

"My eldest young master, can you just say something?" As soon as Tang Guiyi heard Zhuang Feng's words, he knew that Zhuang Feng had something to do for him;

Zhuang Feng would not call Tang Guiyi the seventh master under normal circumstances, only when Zhuang Feng was in a good mood and needed Tang Guiyi for something, Tang Guiyi was not too familiar with this point;

"Then I'll be straightforward, and immediately prepare for someone to go over to receive Qiaozhou;" Zhuang Feng said without being shocked;

Zhuang Feng said that Tang Guiyi had no voice for a long time, not only Tang Guiyi had no voice for a long time, but Zhou Jian also felt a little powerless there;

Zhou Jian agreed to Zhuang Feng's deal, but this action was too fast;

"Seriously, or is it a joke?" Tang Guiyi said a little heavily after a long time;

"I've reached an agreement with Xingxing, and Qiaozhou will be mine, from now on;" Zhuang Feng said, but he looked at Zhou Jian, who felt a little powerless next to him;

"It's true;" With Zhuang Feng's somewhat playful eyes, Zhou Jian walked to Zhuang Feng's side and said a word to Tang Guiyi on the other end of the phone, but it sounded a little reluctant;

With Zhou Jian's words, Tang Guiyi fell silent again; if Zhuang Feng saw Tang Guiyi at this time, then the richness of Tang Guiyi's expression could be called a must;

In Tang Guiyi's view, Zhuang Feng ran to Pingzhou without anything, it must be to conspire with Zhou Jian to do something unseemly; because Zhuang Feng is a person who likes to be quiet, if there is nothing to do, he would rather stay in the garden and hold a broken book than go out, Tang Guiyi guessed that Zhuang Feng and Zhou Jian were plotting in Pingzhou;

Later, Tang Guiyi learned that Cai Xingmiao died suddenly, and he was more certain of Zhuang Feng and Zhou Jian's conspiracy there, but Zhuang Feng denied it;

Zhuang Feng denied conspiring with Zhou Jian in Pingzhou, and this Tang Guiyi chose to believe Zhuang Feng;

However, only a few hours later, Zhuang Feng told him that Tang Guiyi asked him to take over Qiaozhou, and that Pingzhou and Qiaozhou were not connected by mountains and waters, which made Tang Guiyi a little unable to react there;

In front of him, Zhou Jian confirmed Zhuang Feng's statement, Zhou Jian did give up Qiaozhou, which made Tang Guiyi not know what kind of reaction to make;

There is no free lunch in this day, the so-called brothers between Zhuang Feng and Zhou Jian belong to brothers, and interests belong to interests, this Tang Guiyi knows; it is precisely because Tang Guiyi knows the relationship between Zhuang Feng and Zhou Jian, and he doesn't understand why Zhou Jian would give up Qiaozhou;

"Seventh brother, my eldest young master, my young master, can you make it clear?" After a long time, Tang Guiyi didn't figure out where this matter was, and then he had to let Zhuang Feng explain it clearly;

"To put it simply, I exchanged Pingzhou for Qiaozhou with Xingxing, do you understand?" Zhuang Feng said there;

"Really?" Tang Guiyi understood, but he didn't believe it;

"Really;" replied Zhuang Feng affirmatively;

"Then you still said that you didn't conspire with Zhou Shao in Pingzhou?" Tang Guiyi asked rhetorically;

Tang Guiyi's words made Zhuang Feng a little unsure of how to explain;

Zhou Jian looked at Zhuang Feng's speechless appearance, and laughed with the girl, laughing quite happily;

"Why can't you say this clearly, connect immediately, I'll tell you happily;" Zhuang Feng looked at Zhou Jian's mocking appearance, and said hatefully there;

After speaking, Zhuang Feng hung up the phone with a rather unhappy look, and then kicked Zhou Jian, and said at the same time: "Laugh Jiu'er, connect;"

With Zhuang Feng's words, Zhou Jian was still laughing there, but he also moved, fiddling with the computer there, and then connected with Tang Guiyi;

Tang Guiyi went online, Zhuang Feng Zhou Jian also went online, and explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly there;

After Tang Guiyi figured out the ins and outs of the matter there, he was so happy that he seemed to have picked up something cheap, and he laughed so much that he was a treacherous;

After explaining clearly to Tang Guiyi, Tang Guiyi also summoned relevant personnel and began to arrange;

Zhou Jian and Tang Guiyi were busy handing over the affairs of Qiaozhou, and the Jinguo Congress also elected new cabinet members;

The new cabinet members are finalized, and what follows is the transfer of the supreme power of Jinguo;

According to the rules of cabinet transition, new cabinet members are elected in the National Assembly, formal appointments are made in accordance with the constitution, and then the transition begins until the new year comes.

Zhuang Feng looked at the relevant reports on the news about the congressional election, boiled tea with Zhou Jian in the backyard, and seemed to say with some emotion: "A new era has arrived;"

"Yes, the new era;" Zhou Jian also said with some emotion;

"What do you think of Qin Su?" Zhuang Feng asked;

"I don't know much, you also know that the nobles in Jindu, such things are all negotiated by their internal families, before the transfer of power, no one has too high exposure, just like us, they are all hidden, and they will not come to the public until the arrival of power;"

"The eldest son of the Qin family, I don't know how much stronger he is than his father Qin Yan;" Zhuang Feng is also a little unfamiliar with this newly baked cabinet prime minister, the highest power holder of the Jinguo;

"It should be a strong figure, I think Qin Yan was the first cabinet member of the founding of the country, and he also survived the tyrannical era of Yang Yue, and became the second second best person in the era of Zhou Xizong; the eldest son raised by such a character is seven points worse; and although Qin Su himself has no military experience and lacks the support of the military, Qin Su's wife is the daughter of General Zongda, which makes up for this shortcoming;" Zhou Jianpin commented on the freshly baked supreme power of Jinguo;

"The Zong family was the great general when the dynasty was founded, and the Qin family was also the first cabinet member, so they were really right;" Zhou Jian continued;

"After so many years, the characters of the year are all dead and old; now the marriage between the Qin family and the Zong family is indeed the Qin family's power; this is the reason why it is the turn of the Qin family this year;" Zhuang Feng listened to Zhou Jian's words, and said something as if he was thinking about something;

Zhou Jian looked at Zhuang Feng's thoughtful appearance and didn't say anything more;

The transfer of power in Jinguo does not have a big impact on the public and the common people, but it is just a change of person to make decisions for them;

In other words, every change of power in Jinguo, the family will be greatly affected;
