Wen Shengzhi is history?
Chapter 151 Wen Shengzhi is history?
Chu ordered Prince Yin to besiege and summon the princes of the world to form an alliance in Guo.
However, Zhao Wu, the ruling minister of the Jin Kingdom who came to participate in the alliance this time, directly proposed to give up the position of the leader of the alliance to Wang Ziwei for no reason.
Can this be tolerated?
Therefore, Uncle Sun Bao, the official of the State of Lu, the official of the State of Qi, the weak state, Xiang Rong of the State of Song, Hanhu of the State of Zheng, and other officials from various countries in the Central Plains all came to the residence of the Jin State Mission to persuade Zhao Wu.
Uncle Sun Bao, Han Hu, and Li Ran entered Zhao Wu's tent together, but Zhao Wu in the tent was in an inexplicably happy mood at this time, and was drinking wine with everyone. Seeing that three more distinguished guests had come, he immediately ordered his subordinates to give them Seats were arranged.
After being seated, Zhao Wu said:
"Leopard! Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time. I am very pleased to meet you here. This... must be Zheng Guoxin's successor, Han Zipi, right? Alas, it is true that talented people come out from generation to generation. The younger generation is awesome, the younger generation is awesome!"
"Come here, everyone, let's have a drink."
As he said that, Zhao Wu held up the cup and wanted to invite the three of them to have a drink together.
When Shusun Bao and Han Hu saw this, they both looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Zhao Wu's intention was.
However, because of Zhao Wu's status, how dare the two of them slap Zhao Wu's face face to face, so they both raised their lamps after hesitating for a moment.
After the three of them drank it all in one gulp, Zhao Wu looked at Li Ran and said with a smile:
"Zi Ming visited my country of Jin a few days ago, and it can be said that he shined brilliantly in the court of our country. However, everything in the world is different, with pros and cons. The widow did not accept Zi Ming's advice, and hoped that Zi Ming would not Strange?"
He seemed to know what Uncle Sun Bao, Han Hu, and Li Ran did when they came here, so he kept silent on the matter of the alliance, and even said what he said in such a polite way that even Li Ran didn't know How to answer.
But Li Ran thought about it, and responded:
"How dare, how dare, Zhao Zhongjun has wronged him. The Marquis of Jin's concern is also reasonable. How can we disobey the leader's reason?"
"Now, I heard that the Chinese army intends to give up the position of the leader, but it is really hard to understand. Please ask the Chinese army to clarify."
Since Zhao Wu didn't mention this matter to Uncle Sun Bao and Han Hu, then he, Li Ran, did his part to reveal this question.
But who knows that Zhao Wu just smiled when he heard the sound, and the smile was very mysterious.
Seeing this, Shusun Bao and Han Hu looked at each other, then frowned and said:
"Zhao Zhongjun, when he was above the Song League, he had already let Qu Jian from Chu take advantage of our state of Zhou. From this, they were able to share the world with Jin, and the rest of the vassal states also needed to submit to Chu. State tribute."
"Now the Chu State Commander Yin is not keeping his word. This is what the princes have heard. Why are you still not on guard in the Chinese army? If this continues, I am afraid that you will suffer again like last time in the Song League. You must know that Yin Qujian, the commander of the Chu State at that time, was praised by the princes, but in the end he still deceived us and surpassed you Jin. What's more, the domineering and domineering Where is Wang Ziwei?"
"If the state of Chu gains the upper hand over the state of Jin again, it will be a disgrace to the state of Jin!"
"Moreover, it has been eight years since you assisted the Marquis of Jin to become the leader of the alliance. You have joined the princes twice and the doctors three times, so that Qi and even the people of Di have surrendered one after another, and the east has been peaceful. Qin has also been pacified. The turmoil caused by the country, when Chunyu built the city wall, the army was not tired, the country was not tired, the people did not slander, the princes did not complain, and even the sky did not send a catastrophe. What kind of merit is this? To sing praises of your exploits?"
"However, up to now, your reputation is so prominent and your prestige is so prosperous, but you will end up with such shame in the end. This is what we are afraid of. Zhao Zhongjun, you must be vigilant!"
In Zhao Wu's life, his achievements are beyond counting, but it is absolutely impossible for anyone who was born in the same era as him to say that there is anyone who disagrees with him.
But it was such a glorious life, but now it will end with the shame of "giving up the position of leader".He himself may not take it seriously, but in the eyes of others, this can be described as a huge stain, and it may even become black material that will be despised by the world after thousands of years.
After Shusun Bao finished speaking, both Li Ran and Han Hu nodded in agreement.
At such a critical juncture, Zhao Wu gave up the position of leader, which is tantamount to admitting the hegemony of Chu State. How should the princes of the world deal with themselves then?Where is he going to put his face as the overlord of the Jin Kingdom?
And his famous name, Zhao Wu I, wouldn't it be ruined immediately?
"Hehe, Wu is bestowed!"
Facing Uncle Sun Bao's impassioned persuasion, Zhao Wu showed not only anger, but respect, even humility.
This may be related to his life experience.After all, Zhao Wu has always upheld the word "modesty" in his whole life.He has always had this pleasant attitude towards everyone, even his own political enemies.
At this time, only Zhao Wu continued to speak:
"Hehe, Brother Leopard is really forgetful. Brother Leopard still remembers that during the League of Song State, Yin Qujian, the commander of the State of Chu, was harmful to others, but Wu? He had a heart of love for others. The reason why it can surpass the state of Jin."
"What about now? Wu still maintains this heart. Regardless of whether the state of Chu abides by the promise or not, Zhao Wu will take faith as my foundation and act according to this principle."
"For example, a farmer, as long as he is diligent in weeding and cultivating the soil, even though there may be a temporary famine, he will eventually have a good harvest. There is a saying in "Poetry": Do not tyrannize or steal, and seldom do nothing (do not tyrannize, do not speculate, seldom do not will become a role model). This is all because we can keep our promises. Then, if Wu can really be a model of keeping our promises, how can I, Zhao Wu, be inferior to others?"
"What Zhao Wu is worried about now is whether I, Zhao Wu, can achieve this. As for what happened to the state of Chu... Wu thinks, what does it matter?"
Zhao Wu is Zhao Wu after all.
At this time, Li Ran suddenly remembered Wang Ziwei's evaluation of Zhao Wu in the Jishi Manor outside Zhengyi City - Wen Shengzhi Zhishi.
At that time, Prince Chu was very disapproving of Zhao Wu and his men.
It is only said that Zhao Wu is "literally superior to his quality".In other words, it is: too soft.
Of course, Li Ran disagreed with Wang Ziwei's evaluation from the very beginning. Hearing Zhao Wu's words at this time, eight words immediately appeared in Li Ran's mind: Gentle and polite, and then gentleman.
As the saying goes, "A gentleman does something, and he doesn't do something."
Zhao Wu interpreted this sentence vividly.
A real gentleman, his original intention, will never make any changes because of the passage of time.
A real gentleman should stick to his integrity and noble character from beginning to end, and not make any changes for anything or anyone.
And the so-called way of a gentleman, doesn't it lie in this "self-improving virtue"?
No matter what Zhao Wu's plan was, just these words really benefited Li Ran a lot.
