Chapter 169
As for how Shusun Bao should plan after he returns to Lu State, Ji's decision is up to him.After the three of them agreed, Li Ran asked Han Hu to send someone to send Shusun Bao back to Camp Lu.
However, Hanhu felt very strange:
"Sending someone to send Dr. Uncle Sun back, isn't it telling Ji's eyes and ears that Dr. Uncle Sun has already discussed with you?"
After all, Li Ran brought Uncle Sunbao to Zheng Guo's residence in order not to let Ji's eyes and ears know what they were discussing.
At this time, if Zheng Guo blatantly sends Uncle Sun Bao back, it will inevitably make people not think about it. Will there be a surprise effect at that time?
"Hehe, this is a plan to scare the snake away!"
"If you don't let them know, how can they take action?"
"Now that Ji Sun Yiru sits in the Ji Clan, this person's intelligence is shallow, and what he plans must be full of flaws! If we can get more handles, wouldn't it be better for Uncle Sun?"
If you want to deal with Ji Sun Yiru, you must first make Ji Sun Yiru move.
Only in this way can we find the flaw and hit it with one blow!
This is actually part of his plan.Of course, if Ji Sun Yiru can really hold his breath, or if Ji Sun Yiru can see a little further than before after being pointed out by Shu Niu, it may be hard to say what will happen next.
Of course, Hanhu knew that Li Ran was meticulous and thoughtful, and he had no plans to spare.However, he was still a little worried.And what he is worried about is still the safety of his country Zheng:
"It is said that behind this vertical bull, there are also Qi people backing him. If the Ji family has colluded with the Qi people, and there is a vertical bull, how should we deal with it?"
Yes, what he was worried about was not the Ji family, but the Qi people.
Although the state of Qi hasn't had much movement in these years, it only occasionally fights with the state of Jin.However, in the eyes of Zheng Guo, Qi State can still be called a big country.
Just like the last time Qi Guo's grain truck was robbed, Qi Guotian Rangju came to ask for someone, Zheng Guo could only take the "suspect" Li Ran honestly.
After all, the gap in hard power is there, and neither Hanhu nor Zichan can turn a blind eye to it.
"When you are in the country, you can relax. It's not a problem. Now that there is Doctor Yan Ying assisting the Marquis of Qi in Qi, even if the young people in the country want to do something, it may be difficult for a while."
"And the State of Lu is the key to the game between the State of Qi and the State of Jin. Therefore, as long as the State of Lu can obtain Antai, then our State of Zheng will be fine."
The splendor of the Spring and Autumn Period lies in the fact that the struggle of any small country is likely to shake up the situation of the whole world.
Even though the internal strife in Lu State is a small matter, once it is enlarged to the point where Qi and Jin are fighting, it will be a big event.
This is just like the internal strife in his country of Zheng. Similarly, it can often reflect the ebb and flow of Jin and Chu.
Therefore, Zheng Guo's assistance to Lu State at this time can be said to be of great benefit to stabilizing the international situation and helping Jin State to check and balance Qi and Chu.
……
Let's go back to Prince Chu's side.
The next day, Wang Ziwei came to Zheng Guo's residence with a dowry. (At that time, courtesy engagement was not only used for marriage proposal)
It just so happened that Han Hu went to Zhao Wu's place to bid farewell.Therefore, in Zheng Guo's garrison, Li Ran and Chu Dang stayed in their tents to rest.
When Chu Dang heard that Wang Ziwei was coming, he thought that Wang Ziwei was here to arrest Li Ran, so he immediately grabbed the guy and rushed out.But Li Ran hurriedly stopped him.
"gentlemen?"
Chu Dang still looked at him suspiciously.
Li Ran immediately said angrily:
"Don't just copy someone if you don't agree with each other. You don't know what he's here for, so you're ready to do it. Isn't it rude?"
"Teach me to be a good boy today. We'd better not do anything that can be solved by talking. What should I do if I hurt myself with knives and guns all day long? Even if I can't hurt myself, it's okay if I hurt these flowers and plants. okay."
"God has the virtue of good life..."
"..."
Li Ran hadn't finished learning Boss Tang's words, but Chu Dang was almost falling asleep over there.
At this time, Wang Ziwei and the others were already waiting outside Zheng Guo's camp.
Li Ran hurried out of the camp to greet him, and after a salute, he politely invited him into the big tent.
"I don't know Ling Yin's visit today, why?"
"Come on, lift it up."
Wang Ziwei didn't hide it, and with a wave of his hand, he took out all the gifts he brought.
In a blink of an eye, three large boxes were placed in front of Li Ran.
After the guards opened it, they almost blinded Li Ran's eyes when they saw three boxes full of rare treasures.
After all, Li Ran was in charge of Jishi's accounting and was a housekeeper, so he only made a rough estimate of these rare treasures. Year's tax!
If you compare it with the wealthy Jishi, Wang Ziwei's casual move is equivalent to Jishi's up and down, about half a year in and out of the water.
Therefore, these days, using power to make money is still more powerful than using other means to make money!
However, Li Ran is not an uninformed person.Whether it's him "before time travel" or his experience as a housekeeper in Jishi, he has long been immune to this kind of wealth.
In the words of someone in later generations: Now he is not interested in "money", he is only interested in how to "spend money".
Of course, Li Ran also suddenly understood the purpose of Wang Ziwei's visit today.
"Ziming, there are some things that Ben Lingyin will not say anymore."
"As long as you Ziming say a word, all the glory and wealth in the future will be covered by me, Xiongwei. Take care of Ziming, you are inexhaustible! How about it?"
He, who is about to become the new king of Chu, does have the confidence to say this.It's just that, compared with the wealthy Zheng State, their Chu State's desire to show off with Zheng Shang, who has been in business for decades, is a little bit less interesting.
Of course, it is obvious that for the Chu State, this is already quite a feat.
It can be seen that in order to attract Li Ran, Wang Ziwei has made great efforts this time.
"Thank you Ling Yin for your kindness, but money is not what you want."
Li Ran's answer was also very simple and clear.
If he really needs money to support his life, he is afraid that he will not be just a little Zheng Guoxing now.
"Hehe, it's natural, Ziming Gaoyi!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Ziwei was not angry when he heard the sound, but even praised Li Ran.Just listen to him continue:
"It's just Ziming, have you considered it? If you only stay in the small country of Zheng, how can you use your abilities?"
"Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and there are people with lofty ideals who wish to assist Ming Jun and dominate the world. Is it possible that Zi Ming has never thought of this in his heart?"
"The state of Zheng is just a small country, small in size. From the princes to the common people, there is no ambition at all. Even Zichan is the same! Therefore, Ruo Ziming only lives in the state of Zheng. If you can’t do your best, and if you can’t stretch your ambitions, why bother?”
Since money is not your ambition, then don't talk about adding money.But thinking about the world should always be your ambition, right?
Unexpectedly, Li Ran sighed again, and shook his head in refusal:
"Ling Yin praised it absurdly, but what he has learned in his life is all about Zhou rituals."
"The so-called rites are those who educate the world and regulate all living beings, and educate the world and regulate all living beings. What does it mean? It is nothing more than peace in the world and the people live in peace. The princes are brothers, and the ministers are surrounded by relatives and friends. There is no more The chaos of the flames of war, the world is peaceful."
The words are beautiful, but Li Ran knows that this is not his original intention.
In fact, he does not agree with simple Zhou rituals to govern the world, or in other words, it is not the "Zhou rituals" that the world understands.
The real way of "Zhou Li" is actually all-encompassing.It is gentle at times and thunderous at other times.Sometimes it is safe and peaceful, and sometimes the danger gradually emerges.Can be firm, can be soft, can be virtuous, can be chilling.
In short, the so-called Zhou Li is just a theoretical model used to explain the cycle of heaven.
Therefore, "Zhou Li" never said that this is right or that is wrong, and never said that he can bring chaos and peace to the world.It is more like an expert outside the world, it only tells the world what kind of situation, what kind of person, what kind of cause, what kind of effect there will be.
Right or wrong?Rise and fall of chaos?It's all just "one side" of Zhou Li.
Within Zhou Ritual, everything is fate.Since it is destiny, how can it be changed?
And Li Ran, as the living fossil of "Zhou Li", is actually the most clear about this point.
What's more, if Zhou Li could really be used to govern the world, why would the world of the Zhou Dynasty collapse to such an extent?
Then, as Li Ran himself thought, since Zhou Li was actually incapable of governing the world, why did he use this as an excuse to reject Wang Ziwei openly?
Just because this is the most suitable and legitimate reason at the moment.
After all, the princes of the world are still Zhou's courtiers in the final analysis.And what the world understands, the crude Zhou rituals, in the eyes of the world, are still the basic laws to maintain the orderly operation of the world.
As a matter of course, as a former Luoyi keeper of Tibetan history, he adhered to the creed of "Zhou Ri ruled the world", which was his duty in the eyes of outsiders.
But as soon as these words came out, Wang Ziwei's face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and instantly sank.
Obviously, Li Ran's words touched his backlash.Because the Chu people, the most unreasonable and the most disadvantaged, are the so-called Zhou rituals!
