chapter 182
As Li Ran said, "It won't be long", indeed, no one had to wait long, only three days, and Feng Duan just couldn't sit still.
But unexpectedly, he didn't go to Zichan, nor Sihei, but sent someone to find Li Ran!
Obviously, Feng Duan is very clear that all these strange incidents seem to be accidental, but in fact they are all man-made.And it was none other than Li Ran who was hiding behind the incident!
The person who came to look for Li Ran was precisely Feng Duan, one of the six ministers of Zheng Guozheng who Feng Duan had been trying to win over recently, the suzerain of the Si clan—Si Dai. (Si belt: on the word)
Of course, Feng Duan sent a Si belt here this time, not to seek revenge and settle accounts.On the contrary, they came for reconciliation.
In fact, this is understandable.Now his best friend, Si Hei, can be said to have been "discredited", and another You Chu was expelled from Zheng Guo.Under the current situation, Feng Duan's wings can be said to have been severely damaged.
For the current plan, if he wants to continue to gain a firm foothold above Zheng Guochaotang, he must reconcile with Zichan.
The so-called man can bend and stretch, but in fact?Why not for villains?
After all, everyone can see that once Zichan really makes use of "Sihei" to make a big fuss, although it won't cause it to collapse directly, it will definitely be exhausted.
Of course, Li Ran knew very well in his heart that Feng Duan's move was just a tactic to delay the attack.He has a long-standing grudge with Zichan, how could Feng Duan, who has always been treacherous and cunning, really reconcile with Zichan?
However, since others approached him politely, they had to save face in any case.
Therefore, he still warmly received Si Dai, no matter what, he is also the master of a sect, one of Zheng Guo's six ministers, and his status is still several ranks higher than his own.Therefore, this face still has to be given after all.
After sitting down in the main hall, Si Dai spoke to Li Ran:
"Ziming has been in Zhengyi for more than a year. I am ashamed to bring him to visit today. I hope Ziming will be considerate."
Although the words were polite, the tone still seemed very arrogant.
He is the majestic master of a sect, what reason does he have to visit a refugee from the state of Lu?
Even though Li Ran has now become the son-in-law of the Ji family, he has also served as a pedestrian of Zheng Guo.But if he hadn't complied with Feng Duan's request, I'm afraid he still wouldn't have visited Li Ran.
After all, identity and status are there.
Li Ran is also well aware of this.
"What is Shangqing saying? Li Ran has never visited Shangqing before, but today he wants to bother Shangqing. This is really disrespectful. I hope my son is the doctor Haihan."
After saying that, Li Ran got up and bowed again, looking very sincere.
Si Dai hastily made a gesture of holding him up, and said with a smile on his face:
"Ziming is polite, now that you and I are ministers at the same court, why should we be like this?"
These words are just to make things right.
In this way, the two sides can be regarded as sitting down.
"But I don't know why the doctor came here today?"
Li Ran didn't hesitate and asked directly.
"Well, there is nothing else, presumably Ziming already knows what happened in the court recently."
"Doctor Zixi and Doctor Boshi are at odds, and all the officials are anxious. Now, the meeting in Guodi has just passed, and the state of Chu is like a tiger in the south. If our court of Zheng State falls apart at this moment Doesn't that mean giving the Chu people a chance?"
Different from the war for peace, the euphemism of the political opponent's peace is that no matter what excuse is used to propose a settlement, it can be grafted on to the safety of the entire country.
It is obvious that Feng Duan asked him to convey these words on his behalf, but these words seem to have sinister intentions.
The subtext of these words has two layers: one is to show that Feng Duan is not afraid anymore, so how could he be afraid?He was worried that Chu would take advantage of it, so he was willing to reconcile with Dr. Zichan.
Of course, there is another meaning of specifically mentioning the state of Chu: By the way, don't forget his identity as Feng Duan!Prince Ling Yin of Chu State, that is my son-in-law!
Li Ran knew it in his heart, but his face was still calm.He just replied calmly:
"Of course I heard about it."
"It's just that I never thought that Dr. Zixi and Dr. Boshi would be so friendly on weekdays, but now they are so resolute after they have turned their faces."
"However, Doctor Zishang knows it if he wants to, but he is just a passer-by in the court. I'm afraid he can't help you with this matter."
How could it be so easy for Li Ran to help?
When Si Hei and Feng Duan secretly poisoned Zheng Yi and caused Zheng Yi's disease, why didn't they expect that today they would beg for mercy and reconcile with Zi Chan?
At this moment, the two turned against each other, and you, Feng Duan, just woke up?It's too late, isn't it?
Besides, who are you trying to fool with the prince?What kind of person is Wang Ziwei, don't I, Li Ran, know better than you?
Now that Prince Wei of Chu has just become the leader of the alliance, this addiction is not over yet, he will come to question Zheng Guo again for someone like you, Feng Duan?Thinking too much?
"Zi Ming is humble."
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see how important you are in Zhengyi. We Ming people don't talk dark words today. Since we have come to the door, we hope that Yu Ziming can help you. Please also Ziming is Wanmo's resignation."
Si Dai didn't seem to understand Li Ran's subtext, but felt that Li Ran was making a symbolic modesty.
Li Ran immediately showed a look of "difficulty".
"Then... what exactly does the doctor want Li Ran to do?"
Li Ran asked again tentatively.
When Sidai heard the sound, he immediately thought that Li Ran's words meant that he had agreed. Excitement flashed in his eyes, and he said seriously:
"At this time of troubled times, Dr. Boshi does not want to fight against Dr. Zixi, let alone become an enemy of Dr. Zichan."
"Thus, I hope that Ziming can mediate and propose to Doctor Zichan that the order of the six ministers above the court can be determined through the oath of the alliance."
"In order to prevent others from spreading rumors and slanders, saying that Dr. Boshi intends to replace Dr. Zichan."
Finally we got to the point.
The so-called oath is that when offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, or to ancestors, the names of the officials are listed on top of the oath.
Since this "oath" is to go up to the sky and down to the earth, it is equivalent to reading out the ranking to the gods of heaven and earth.In a disguised form, the legal status of the seat ranking has been strengthened.
This is indeed a good way to solve the struggle for power and profit between the officials.And if this method is put in the past, it can indeed solve practical problems.
But this approach, in today's view, is obviously lacking in binding force.
Times are different after all.
In this era of frequent wars, even the alliances of various countries can hardly exert a certain binding force on the princes of the whole world, let alone the alliance oaths of several ministers in a country?
"Oh? Is this what Doctor Boshi meant?"
Li Ran asked tentatively again.
Si Dai couldn't help but nodded again, and solemnly said:
"Dr. Boshi also knows that Dr. Zichan is suspicious of him now, so he hopes to use this method to convince Dr. Zichan of Feng Boshi's heart for the country and his position as the ruling minister of Zichan. It's absolutely pointless."
"Although Dr. Boshi and Dr. Zichan have disagreements over their political opinions in the court, Ziming must also know that if all the ministers of a country only hold the same political views, then for this country , it’s definitely not a lucky thing.”
"Therefore, I also ask Ziming to mediate in order to relieve the near-term worries of the two families."
Obviously, since Si Dai has benefited from Feng Duan, she must speak for Feng Duan.
As for the obstruction of Zichan's New Deal in every possible way, Si Dai also whitewashed it inside and out, and said it with nose and face, and it was really impossible to refute for a while.
And his last sentence, "to solve the worries of the two families", is obviously a hint.
Feng Duan is worried that Zichan will attack him, so isn't Zichan worried that Feng Duan is secretly against him?
Therefore, Sidai's words are implying to Li Ran that it may be the most appropriate and safest way to resolve the current dispute through the alliance oath.
"It turned out to be so."
"Dr. Boshi understands righteousness so deeply, it is really admirable!"
"But, I'm afraid it's because of the powerlessness."
Li Ran paused for a moment, then sighed again, a look of helplessness suddenly appeared on his face, and he secretly said in his heart:
"Feng Duan is such a shrewd person. Since I, Li Ran, was asked to help, how could there be no answer?"
While thinking this way in his heart, Li Ran glanced at the four belts from the corner of his eyes.
Sure enough, Si Dai understood, not in a hurry, but with a faint smile on his face.
Feng Duan has never had any contact with Li Ran, and today he asked Li Ran for help for no reason. Could it be that he intends to do nothing?
Feng Duan is naturally willing to do this kind of business, but what about Li Ran?How could an old Jianghu like Fengduan not understand such a simple truth?
Therefore, besides asking for Li Ran's help, Feng Duan must have brought something else with him this time.
Obviously, Li Ran wanted to test more.
