Why did Le Wangyu take the risk to rescue Shusun Bao?
Why did Zhao Wu make a move?
In fact, this matter still has to start from the fact that Chu State became the leader of the alliance this time.
Before the Guodi League, the overlord of the world known to the world, the person who can check and balance the world has always been the state of Jin.
And this time at the Guodi meeting, although Jin State took the initiative to give up the position of leader to Chu State, Chu State became a veritable overlord of the world.But is it true that Jin State is so willing to admit that Chu State is the overlord state above itself?
Obviously, out of the inherent pride of Jin people.Whether it is Le Wangyu or Zhao Wu, it is impossible to admit this in person.
They made Chu State the leader of the alliance, and they had other plans in the first place, so how could they willingly admit this?
So Shusun Bao is now imprisoned by Wang Ziwei, and of course Jin has to rescue him.
After all, the state of Lu has been following the state of Jin all these years, and now the Shangqing of the state of Lu has an accident under his nose. If this is a fake show, what will be the face of the state of Jin?
Therefore, Jin's rescue of Uncle Sun Bao is also the best way to quell the rumors about them.
This time Chu State became the leader of the world, and the various countries have complained a lot.
Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could take advantage of this to re-establish the image of the state of Jin, so that all countries would continue to keep their distance from the state of Chu and stay close to the state of Jin?
Therefore, based on these two points, Jin has no reason to turn a blind eye to Shusun Bao.
And this is why Zhao Wu agreed to Li Ran so readily today, and sent troops to assist Li Ran in rescuing Uncle Sun Bao.
However, at first he thought Li Ran's plan was flawless.As long as Shu Sunbao didn't commit suicide, he would be rescued by Li Ran.
It's a pity that Uncle Sunbao "killed himself", which also made him a little unexpected.
Now that he has reached this point, Zhao Wu is the only one who will appear on the stage.
So, the three of them came to Chu State's residence overnight and asked to meet Wang Ziwei.
At this time, Chu Ying had just settled down from the turmoil just now, seeing the devastation at the entrance of the camp, the three of them felt a little uneasy.
At this moment, Wang Ziwei was furious about the attack on the camp tonight.
After all, he had just led the Chu Kingdom to become the leader of the world, and this kind of thing happened before the ass of the leader was hot!Isn't this deliberately slapping his face hard?
Moreover, he later heard that a doctor from the state of Jin came in and out of the camp where Shu Sunbao was imprisoned tonight, and it seemed that Li Ran was also involved in it, so he was furious for a while.
Of course he knew that at the moment in Guodi, neither the Jin State nor Li Ran was Yi Yi's generation.So, right now, he still hasn't figured out how to fight back.
"Lord Ling Yin, someone outside the camp is asking to see you."
Just when the prince was in doubt, the guards entered the camp again to report.
And how could he have time to meet other people at this time, not to mention that he didn't want others to see him in such a mess, so he immediately waved his hands impatiently:
"See you!"
"Let them go!"
He guessed that most of the outsiders in the camp were ministers from various countries who had heard about the attack on the Chu camp tonight, and came here specially to inquire about the information.
"Reporting to Yin, the leader of the visitors... is Zhao Wu, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom."
At this time, Wu Ju just came back from the gate of the camp. Seeing the situation outside the tent, he immediately entered the tent and said to Wang Ziwei:
"Zhao Wu, Le Wangyu, and Li Ran are here at the same time, probably because of Uncle Sunbao."
"Wu Ju thinks that it's better for Ling Yin to meet him first."
Now that Zhao Wu has come forward, it is obvious that this matter is no longer as simple as a territorial dispute between the State of Lu and the State of Ju.
When the prince heard it, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he turned his attention to Wu Ju.Seeing Wu Ju nodded slightly again, so Wang Ziwei said to the guards:
"Okay! Bring them in."
After all, they are still under the eyes of Jin State.If some things are not clarified on the stage, then no one can guarantee that there will be a second wave of people suddenly appearing from the dark.
When that time really comes, no one will care about anyone's face anymore.And the night attack just now was tantamount to giving the prince a blow.
Therefore, "Uncle Sun Bao" has become a hot potato for them now.Although hot potato is delicious, who can control it?
Not long after, the guards led Zhao Wu, Le Wangyu, and Li Ran into the big tent surrounded by the prince.
"Wu Yinye's nagging, what an offense, what an offense."
As soon as Zhao Wu came in, he bowed his hands to the prince and apologized, his respect was beyond words.
Le Wangyu and Li Ran who followed behind him also bowed to salute, but they didn't make a sound.
"Zhao Wu, we Ming people don't need to say any more polite words, right? Just say what you have to say."
Wang Ziwei's face was stern, his eyes swept slowly over Le Wangyu and Li Ran, and finally fell on Zhao Wu.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, who do they talk to about Liaozhai?
Zhao Wu smiled and took his seat immediately.
"Hehe, it's really admirable for Yin to speak quickly."
"Since this is the case, I forgive the old man for speaking bluntly."
Zhao Wu took a good rest, his face was full of calmness.
"Wu Bucai, I have also heard that anyone who can face disaster without forgetting the country is loyalty. Thinking of danger and not giving up his duty is honesty. For the sake of the country, he will not hesitate to die. This is perseverance. Based on the above three points As the original intention of one's own behavior, this is the so-called morality. Can a person with this kind of morality be killed?"
"Although the State of Lu is guilty, the person captured by Ling Yin has not avoided disaster because of this, and he is also afraid of the majesty of your country and obeys his orders respectfully. If you can pardon him, Ling Yin, and use this as an encouragement to you Isn’t that all right? If one day, these subjects of yours can avoid difficulties at home and disasters abroad, then what is there to worry about about your great cause? "
In terms of lobbying, Zhao Wu is also a master.
After these words were spoken, Rao Wang Ziwei knew what Zhao Wu was up to, so he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
As Zhao Wu said, Shu Sun Bao's integrity and integrity are indeed admirable, and he really needs a loyal person like Shu Sun Bao around him!
If he can behave like this, then if Chu State wants to dominate the world in the future, what else can he worry about?
Seeing this, Zhao Wu knew that his rhetoric had worked, and immediately continued to persuade:
"Worry arises because of difficulties and no one can overcome them. When disasters come, no one can withstand them. And if someone can do these two things for Ling Yin, what else does Ling Yin have? Worrying?"
"So, if you can't save the virtuous people now, who will follow you in the future? The uncle Sun Bao of Lu State can be said to be a virtuous person, so I still ask Ling Yin to pardon him Go ahead. It will be of great benefit to you to stabilize the virtuous people!"
"Ling Yin, think again. Now that you have presided over the alliance, if you can pardon the guilty countries and reward their virtuous people, then who in the future will not readily attach to your Chu country? Please also Ling Yin Think twice..."
As soon as Zhao Wu finished speaking, all the Chu people present, including Wang Ziwei himself, remained silent.
That's right, as the new leader of the Chu Kingdom, shouldn't the most important thing to do now is to accumulate reputation?
However, Wang Ziwei is still a little undecided.
After all, this arrest was done by themselves, and now it would be too embarrassing for them to let them go.
And to do so, isn't it also reneging on one's promise?
Therefore, Wang Ziwei was still a little hesitant, and couldn't help asking:
"Although that is the case, how should I explain it to Ju Guo?"
That's right, the arrest of Shusun Bao doesn't just concern the country of Lu, the country of Ju is the one who suffers.
After all, this matter is also a dilemma on both sides. If you have just arrested someone and released him before being held for a day, isn't that making it clear that you don't treat the bean buns in Ju as dry food?Then how can the country of Ju submit to you as the new leader in the future?
And you must know that there are quite a few small countries like Ju.
Chapter 167 It's all over
In fact, Wang Ziwei's concerns are not unreasonable. After all, in this matter, Ju State is the one who suffers. As the leader of the alliance, Chu State, how can it turn a deaf ear to the appeals of the "little brothers"? .
And at this time, it was Li Ran's turn to play.
I saw Li Ran cast a look at Zhao Wu, and bowed and bowed to him.Zhao Wu understood immediately, and immediately bowed his hand, and moved aside, giving Li Ran the middle position.
Li Ran strode forward again, and then bowed to Wang Ziwei, with all the courtesy.
"Lord Ling Yin, there is no need to worry. It is said that the cities in this world belong to me at one time and you at another time. What is there for certain?"
"Since I divided the world under King Wu, the territories and boundaries of the countries in the world are not fixed!"
After Li Ran said this, everyone couldn't help but startled.Because what Li Ran said was true for thousands of years, but as Li Ran, who should be the most advocating "self-denial and restoration of rituals", it should be taken for granted that he should be the most "anti-war".
Therefore, now that Li Ran said these two sentences at the beginning, which seemed to be somewhat "rebellious" with others, this really surprised everyone present.
"Hehe, Brother Li's words are really shocking! Brother Li's words today seem to be far from the so-called 'virtue' of your Zhou people? Are these words really appropriate?"
Even Wu Ju, who was born in the army, felt very novel when he heard these words.And Li Ran's words are indeed very similar to the so-called "unjust war in the Spring and Autumn Period" in later generations.And this was definitely one of the most taboo topics at the time.
"Appropriate! What's inappropriate about this? If you want to talk about delimiting the territory, as early as the time of the three kings and five uncles, they had already demarcated the boundaries and erected boundary markers. Moreover, the three kings were also in the decree at the same time. It is clearly written that if you cross the border, you will be punished."
"However, even so, the borders of these states cannot remain unchanged. In the Yushun era, there were three Miao, the Xia Dynasty had the rebellion of the Guan clan and the Hu clan, the Shang Dynasty had the chaos of the Ji clan and the Pi clan, and the Zhou Dynasty had the Xu clan. The chaos of the country and the country. These vassal states, without the leadership of the wise emperor, began to form alliances with each other and expand wantonly."
"So, is the territory really immutable? It's definitely not the case. And for the Lord of the World, he only needs to punish the big disasters and doesn't need to worry about the minor faults. In this way, he can be the leader of the world. Where is the need to care about such small things?"
"What's more, is there any country that hasn't experienced border violations? Even the three kings and five uncles can't stop the stubborn disease in this world, so who can manage it?"
How to become a qualified leader, Li Ran has given Wang Ziwei many "suggestions" before.
What he is saying now is teaching him how to effectively manage the small country under his control as an alliance leader.
But he obviously wasn't done talking.
Wang Ziwei was engrossed in listening to this, and sighed in his heart that Li Ran was truly knowledgeable about the past and the present, every word of his words made sense, presumably even if King Wu of Zhou crawled out of the mausoleum, he would have no way to refute it.
In these years, those who do not seize territory or cities are those small countries.
How can a real big country, such as Jin and Chu, not rob other people's territory?
In order to expand, what kind of bird is the covenant?
Seeing that Wang Ziwei had already taken the bait, Li Ran immediately hit the rails while it was hot:
"What's more, doesn't Lingyin's country of Chu also have this problem? Now that Chu is at a stalemate with Wu and Baipu, won't Lingyin take into account the covenant and not attack them?"
"So, I think it's better for Chu not to get involved in the matters on the border of Ju State. What's more, regarding the conflict between Lu and Ju, when it was still in Lu State, it was very clear that the relationship between Ju State and Lu State The country has been feuding for a hundred years."
"Therefore, as long as there is no major harm to their respective countries, I think Ling Yin doesn't have to worry about it."
Li Ran's words can be regarded as opening the skylight, without any cover.
That's right, since King Wu of Chu, among the successive kings of the Chu Kingdom, which one has not robbed other people's territory?
Therefore, even if you are Wang Ziwei, if you really become the king of Chu in the future.Then think about how to expand the territory of Chu State, this is your top priority.
Obviously, the current state of Wu and the land of Baipu are the main goals of your Chu state in the next stage.Would you just watch these two big pieces of fat and not be moved?
Anyone can say high-sounding false words, but when it comes to core interests, who is different from whom?
Rao was the prince who listened, and naturally he was deeply shocked.After all, Li Ran's remarks gave a clear theoretical basis for the annexation of Wuyue and Baipu by Chu State in the future.
So, in the same way, considering Chu's own interests, isn't the matter between Lu and Ju the same as the relationship between Chu, Wu, and Baipu?If he severely punished the State of Lu this time, what reason would the State of Chu use to crusade against the State of Wu and Baipu in the future?
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but cast a very appreciative look at Li Ran.
Well, Li Ziming, this penetrating tongue is really amazing!
"However, the reason why I say so much, all in all, to put it simply, is to avoid Ling Yin's troubles, and secondly, to be able to forgive virtuous people."
"So, I ask Ling Yin to think carefully about it."
Now Li Ran has given Wang Ziwei a thorough explanation, even the core interests of Chu State, so why would Wang Ziwei not let him go?
Even Wu Ju, who was on the side, was irrefutable to Li Ran's words, and just nodded slightly there.
After all, what Li Ran said is completely beneficial to Chu State from the overall situation.If the State of Lu is severely punished for the momentary face, the State of Chu will lose even more in the future.
Although all of them knew that Li Ran's words were suspected of lobbying, but Li Ran's lobbying was well-founded.
Therefore, it is impossible not to let Shusun Bao go.
Zhao Wu was at the side, seeing that the time was ripe, he immediately made another blow:
"That's right, Chu State has just become the leader of the alliance, and I'm afraid there will be many disputes in the future! If Ling Yin wants to deal with everything like this. Hehe, the old man is worried that Ling Yin will not be able to do what he wants."
Zhao Wu stroked his snow-white goatee while talking nonchalantly.And this remark sounded the alarm for Wang Ziwei.
How long has Jin become the overlord of the world?How long has it been since your country of Chu became the leader?
In dealing with such international disputes, doesn't Jin have more experience than Chu?I, Zhao Wu, are quite old, and I eat more salt than your Prince Wai eats.You don't listen to me?In the end, the only one who suffers will be yourself.
Moreover, in Zhao Wu's words, especially the four words "intentional and powerless", the words are extremely heavy.
Its meaning is also very obvious:
If your state of Chu is busy expanding abroad in the future, do you still have time to deal with these trivial matters?Even if you have free time, but it's hard to get along with everyone, can you really deal with it properly, can you stop the people in this world?
It's just a matter of saving face, but you have to take it seriously?That's really unnecessary.
This is all the experience accumulated by the Jin Kingdom for many years of dominating the world!
Sure enough, the prince gathered around to listen, but he didn't have any worries.Immediately ordered down:
"Come here! Go and release Dr. Lu Guo! And give him a carriage as a token of comfort."
Then he led all the officials of Chu State to send Zhao Wu, Li Ran and others out of the Chu camp respectfully.
"Listening to Jun's words is better than reading ten years of books. This makes Yin feel ashamed."
Before leaving, he didn't forget to compliment Zhao Wu, which was regarded as a gift for Zhao Wu's resignation of the position of leader this time.
And Zhao Wu also accepted it happily, and led Le Wangyu to bow to him, then boarded the carriage and left.
Li Ran was waiting in Yingkou. After receiving Uncle Sun Bao, the two looked at each other knowingly, and then left calmly.
Watching everyone leave, Wang Ziwei's smile gradually turned grim, and he turned to Wu Ju and asked:
"What happened tonight...Wu Ju, what do you think?"
original:
Zhao Mengwen said, "In the face of adversity, you should not forget the country. Loyalty. When you think about difficulties, don't overstep your official position. You will be trustworthy. If you seek the country and forget death, you will be chaste. Those who plot against the master are three, and they are righteous. If there are four, can they be killed?" Then I asked Zhu Chu to say: "Although Lu is guilty, his deacons will not evade difficulties, but respect his orders in fear of power. If you avoid him, you can persuade your left and right. If your officials don't clean up the pollution, and don't flee when they come out, what's the point? Suffering exists? Suffering is born, pollution is not cured, and difficulties are not guarded. This is the source. If it can be the two, why is there trouble? If you don’t calm down its ability, who will follow it? Lu Shusun Bao can be said to be capable, Please forgive those who are Jingneng. The son will forgive the guilty and reward the virtuous. Who among the princes will not be happy to look at Chu and return, seeing far away as near? How often does it happen that there are towns in the frontier and one here? Wang Bo's decree also guides him to seal the frontier, and establishes the official. He raises the flag, and makes the order. If there is a penalty, it must not be the same. Therefore, there are three seedlings in Yu, Guan and Hu in Xia, and Nan and Pi in Shang. , Zhou had Xu and Yan. Since there is no king, the princes are chasing each other, and they are the masters of the alliance, how can they be unified? The big house is small enough to be the leader of the alliance, so how can it be used? Who can argue with those who lead the Qi alliance? Wu and Pu have quarrels, how can the deacons of Chu take care of the alliance? The border affairs of Ju, Chu should not know, and the princes will not be troubled, is it okay? Ju and Lu contend for Yun, for the sake of As time goes by, Gou will do no great harm to his country, but he will not be overbearing. Go and bother Youshan, and you will not fail to persuade him. Your son wants to do it!" I invite all Chu, and the people of Chu will promise it, but they will spare uncles and grandchildren. —— "Zuo Zhuan Year of Zhao Gong"
(End of this chapter)
Why did Le Wangyu take the risk to rescue Shusun Bao?
Why did Zhao Wu make a move?
In fact, this matter still has to start from the fact that Chu State became the leader of the alliance this time.
Before the Guodi League, the overlord of the world known to the world, the person who can check and balance the world has always been the state of Jin.
And this time at the Guodi meeting, although Jin State took the initiative to give up the position of leader to Chu State, Chu State became a veritable overlord of the world.But is it true that Jin State is so willing to admit that Chu State is the overlord state above itself?
Obviously, out of the inherent pride of Jin people.Whether it is Le Wangyu or Zhao Wu, it is impossible to admit this in person.
They made Chu State the leader of the alliance, and they had other plans in the first place, so how could they willingly admit this?
So Shusun Bao is now imprisoned by Wang Ziwei, and of course Jin has to rescue him.
After all, the state of Lu has been following the state of Jin all these years, and now the Shangqing of the state of Lu has an accident under his nose. If this is a fake show, what will be the face of the state of Jin?
Therefore, Jin's rescue of Uncle Sun Bao is also the best way to quell the rumors about them.
This time Chu State became the leader of the world, and the various countries have complained a lot.
Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could take advantage of this to re-establish the image of the state of Jin, so that all countries would continue to keep their distance from the state of Chu and stay close to the state of Jin?
Therefore, based on these two points, Jin has no reason to turn a blind eye to Shusun Bao.
And this is why Zhao Wu agreed to Li Ran so readily today, and sent troops to assist Li Ran in rescuing Uncle Sun Bao.
However, at first he thought Li Ran's plan was flawless.As long as Shu Sunbao didn't commit suicide, he would be rescued by Li Ran.
It's a pity that Uncle Sunbao "killed himself", which also made him a little unexpected.
Now that he has reached this point, Zhao Wu is the only one who will appear on the stage.
So, the three of them came to Chu State's residence overnight and asked to meet Wang Ziwei.
At this time, Chu Ying had just settled down from the turmoil just now, seeing the devastation at the entrance of the camp, the three of them felt a little uneasy.
At this moment, Wang Ziwei was furious about the attack on the camp tonight.
After all, he had just led the Chu Kingdom to become the leader of the world, and this kind of thing happened before the ass of the leader was hot!Isn't this deliberately slapping his face hard?
Moreover, he later heard that a doctor from the state of Jin came in and out of the camp where Shu Sunbao was imprisoned tonight, and it seemed that Li Ran was also involved in it, so he was furious for a while.
Of course he knew that at the moment in Guodi, neither the Jin State nor Li Ran was Yi Yi's generation.So, right now, he still hasn't figured out how to fight back.
"Lord Ling Yin, someone outside the camp is asking to see you."
Just when the prince was in doubt, the guards entered the camp again to report.
And how could he have time to meet other people at this time, not to mention that he didn't want others to see him in such a mess, so he immediately waved his hands impatiently:
"See you!"
"Let them go!"
He guessed that most of the outsiders in the camp were ministers from various countries who had heard about the attack on the Chu camp tonight, and came here specially to inquire about the information.
"Reporting to Yin, the leader of the visitors... is Zhao Wu, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom."
At this time, Wu Ju just came back from the gate of the camp. Seeing the situation outside the tent, he immediately entered the tent and said to Wang Ziwei:
"Zhao Wu, Le Wangyu, and Li Ran are here at the same time, probably because of Uncle Sunbao."
"Wu Ju thinks that it's better for Ling Yin to meet him first."
Now that Zhao Wu has come forward, it is obvious that this matter is no longer as simple as a territorial dispute between the State of Lu and the State of Ju.
When the prince heard it, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he turned his attention to Wu Ju.Seeing Wu Ju nodded slightly again, so Wang Ziwei said to the guards:
"Okay! Bring them in."
After all, they are still under the eyes of Jin State.If some things are not clarified on the stage, then no one can guarantee that there will be a second wave of people suddenly appearing from the dark.
When that time really comes, no one will care about anyone's face anymore.And the night attack just now was tantamount to giving the prince a blow.
Therefore, "Uncle Sun Bao" has become a hot potato for them now.Although hot potato is delicious, who can control it?
Not long after, the guards led Zhao Wu, Le Wangyu, and Li Ran into the big tent surrounded by the prince.
"Wu Yinye's nagging, what an offense, what an offense."
As soon as Zhao Wu came in, he bowed his hands to the prince and apologized, his respect was beyond words.
Le Wangyu and Li Ran who followed behind him also bowed to salute, but they didn't make a sound.
"Zhao Wu, we Ming people don't need to say any more polite words, right? Just say what you have to say."
Wang Ziwei's face was stern, his eyes swept slowly over Le Wangyu and Li Ran, and finally fell on Zhao Wu.

As soon as Zhao Wu finished speaking, all the Chu people present, including Wang Ziwei himself, remained silent.
That's right, as the new leader of the Chu Kingdom, shouldn't the most important thing to do now is to accumulate reputation?

That's right, the arrest of Shusun Bao doesn't just concern the country of Lu, the country of Ju is the one who suffers.
After all, this matter is also a dilemma on both sides. If you have just arrested someone and released him before being held for a day, isn't that making it clear that you don't treat the bean buns in Ju as dry food?Then how can the country of Ju submit to you as the new leader in the future?
And you must know that there are quite a few small countries like Ju.
Chapter 167 It's all over
In fact, Wang Ziwei's concerns are not unreasonable. After all, in this matter, Ju State is the one who suffers. As the leader of the alliance, Chu State, how can it turn a deaf ear to the appeals of the "little brothers"? .
And at this time, it was Li Ran's turn to play.
I saw Li Ran cast a look at Zhao Wu, and bowed and bowed to him.Zhao Wu understood immediately, and immediately bowed his hand, and moved aside, giving Li Ran the middle position.
Li Ran strode forward again, and then bowed to Wang Ziwei, with all the courtesy.
"Lord Ling Yin, there is no need to worry. It is said that the cities in this world belong to me at one time and you at another time. What is there for certain?"
"Since I divided the world under King Wu, the territories and boundaries of the countries in the world are not fixed!"
After Li Ran said this, everyone couldn't help but startled.Because what Li Ran said was true for thousands of years, but as Li Ran, who should be the most advocating "self-denial and restoration of rituals", it should be taken for granted that he should be the most "anti-war".

"What's more, doesn't Lingyin's country of Chu also have this problem? Now that Chu is at a stalemate with Wu and Baipu, won't Lingyin take into account the covenant and not attack them?"
"So, I think it's better for Chu not to get involved in the matters on the border of Ju State. What's more, regarding the conflict between Lu and Ju, when it was still in Lu State, it was very clear that the relationship between Ju State and Lu State The country has been feuding for a hundred years."
"Therefore, as long as there is no major harm to their respective countries, I think Ling Yin doesn't have to worry about it."
Li Ran's words can be regarded as opening the skylight, without any cover.
That's right, since King Wu of Chu, among the successive kings of the Chu Kingdom, which one has not robbed other people's territory?
Therefore, even if you are Wang Ziwei, if you really become the king of Chu in the future.Then think about how to expand the territory of Chu State, this is your top priority.
Obviously, the current state of Wu and the land of Baipu are the main goals of your Chu state in the next stage.Would you just watch these two big pieces of fat and not be moved?
Anyone can say high-sounding false words, but when it comes to core interests, who is different from whom?
Rao was the prince who listened, and naturally he was deeply shocked.After all, Li Ran's remarks gave a clear theoretical basis for the annexation of Wuyue and Baipu by Chu State in the future.
So, in the same way, considering Chu's own interests, isn't the matter between Lu and Ju the same as the relationship between Chu, Wu, and Baipu?If he severely punished the State of Lu this time, what reason would the State of Chu use to crusade against the State of Wu and Baipu in the future?
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but cast a very appreciative look at Li Ran.
Well, Li Ziming, this penetrating tongue is really amazing!
"However, the reason why I say so much, all in all, to put it simply, is to avoid Ling Yin's troubles, and secondly, to be able to forgive virtuous people."
"So, I ask Ling Yin to think carefully about it."
Now Li Ran has given Wang Ziwei a thorough explanation, even the core interests of Chu State, so why would Wang Ziwei not let him go?
Even Wu Ju, who was on the side, was irrefutable to Li Ran's words, and just nodded slightly there.
After all, what Li Ran said is completely beneficial to Chu State from the overall situation.If the State of Lu is severely punished for the momentary face, the State of Chu will lose even more in the future.
Although all of them knew that Li Ran's words were suspected of lobbying, but Li Ran's lobbying was well-founded.
Therefore, it is impossible not to let Shusun Bao go.
Zhao Wu was at the side, seeing that the time was ripe, he immediately made another blow:
"That's right, Chu State has just become the leader of the alliance, and I'm afraid there will be many disputes in the future! If Ling Yin wants to deal with everything like this. Hehe, the old man is worried that Ling Yin will not be able to do what he wants."
Zhao Wu stroked his snow-white goatee while talking nonchalantly.And this remark sounded the alarm for Wang Ziwei.
How long has Jin become the overlord of the world?How long has it been since your country of Chu became the leader?
In dealing with such international disputes, doesn't Jin have more experience than Chu?I, Zhao Wu, are quite old, and I eat more salt than your Prince Wai eats.You don't listen to me?In the end, the only one who suffers will be yourself.
Moreover, in Zhao Wu's words, especially the four words "intentional and powerless", the words are extremely heavy.
Its meaning is also very obvious:
If your state of Chu is busy expanding abroad in the future, do you still have time to deal with these trivial matters?Even if you have free time, but it's hard to get along with everyone, can you really deal with it properly, can you stop the people in this world?
It's just a matter of saving face, but you have to take it seriously?That's really unnecessary.
This is all the experience accumulated by the Jin Kingdom for many years of dominating the world!
Sure enough, the prince gathered around to listen, but he didn't have any worries.Immediately ordered down:
"Come here! Go and release Dr. Lu Guo! And give him a carriage as a token of comfort."
Then he led all the officials of Chu State to send Zhao Wu, Li Ran and others out of the Chu camp respectfully.
"Listening to Jun's words is better than reading ten years of books. This makes Yin feel ashamed."
Before leaving, he didn't forget to compliment Zhao Wu, which was regarded as a gift for Zhao Wu's resignation of the position of leader this time.
And Zhao Wu also accepted it happily, and led Le Wangyu to bow to him, then boarded the carriage and left.
Li Ran was waiting in Yingkou. After receiving Uncle Sun Bao, the two looked at each other knowingly, and then left calmly.
Watching everyone leave, Wang Ziwei's smile gradually turned grim, and he turned to Wu Ju and asked:
"What happened tonight...Wu Ju, what do you think?"
original:
Zhao Mengwen said, "In the face of adversity, you should not forget the country. Loyalty. When you think about difficulties, don't overstep your official position. You will be trustworthy. If you seek the country and forget death, you will be chaste. Those who plot against the master are three, and they are righteous. If there are four, can they be killed?" Then I asked Zhu Chu to say: "Although Lu is guilty, his deacons will not evade difficulties, but respect his orders in fear of power. If you avoid him, you can persuade your left and right. If your officials don't clean up the pollution, and don't flee when they come out, what's the point? Suffering exists? Suffering is born, pollution is not cured, and difficulties are not guarded. This is the source. If it can be the two, why is there trouble? If you don’t calm down its ability, who will follow it? Lu Shusun Bao can be said to be capable, Please forgive those who are Jingneng. The son will forgive the guilty and reward the virtuous. Who among the princes will not be happy to look at Chu and return, seeing far away as near? How often does it happen that there are towns in the frontier and one here? Wang Bo's decree also guides him to seal the frontier, and establishes the official. He raises the flag, and makes the order. If there is a penalty, it must not be the same. Therefore, there are three seedlings in Yu, Guan and Hu in Xia, and Nan and Pi in Shang. , Zhou had Xu and Yan. Since there is no king, the princes are chasing each other, and they are the masters of the alliance, how can they be unified? The big house is small enough to be the leader of the alliance, so how can it be used? Who can argue with those who lead the Qi alliance? Wu and Pu have quarrels, how can the deacons of Chu take care of the alliance? The border affairs of Ju, Chu should not know, and the princes will not be troubled, is it okay? Ju and Lu contend for Yun, for the sake of As time goes by, Gou will do no great harm to his country, but he will not be overbearing. Go and bother Youshan, and you will not fail to persuade him. Your son wants to do it!" I invite all Chu, and the people of Chu will promise it, but they will spare uncles and grandchildren. —— "Zuo Zhuan Year of Zhao Gong"
