After a war of words, it finally ended with Li Ran's victory. And the three suggestions put forward by Li Ran were immediately implemented.
After learning the news, the people in Zhengyi were all overjoyed. For a time, everyone was united. Therefore, the implementation was naturally very smooth.
As for those long-simmering grievances, they are gradually being alleviated as the situation gradually improves.
Several days passed like this, and now the city of Zhengyi has finally ushered in the long-lost peace, and this so-called "disease" has been completely controlled.
One day, it was rare for Zichan to go out on the street and leave his house. All the neighbors gathered around the street and stopped to watch and admire. Zichan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw everything in front of him.
However, Zichan knew the clearest thing in his heart. This time, the disease was coming fiercely and there were rumors in the city. If he hadn't received Li Ran's help this time, how could he have calmed down the matter so quickly?
Whether he is treating patients, investigating the mastermind behind the scenes, or making suggestions and final arguments, Li Ran is very organized and calm every time he acts.
Even Zichan had to admire Li Ran's talent.
Therefore, after entering the court today, he immediately recommended Li Ran to Han Hushi.
Naturally, Han Hu also knew Li Ran's abilities, so in the end, under Han Hu's instruction, Li Ran was awarded the position of "Pedestrian".
The so-called "walker" is the official in charge of guests. It is roughly a courtesy official who specializes in receiving princes from various countries and ministers. It is somewhat similar to the so-called "diplomatic secretary" in later generations.
Speaking of which, although this official position is not big and has no real power, this pedestrian position is the position closest to the center at that time. It can often be seen by the powerful ministers and even the kings of various countries, so its importance is self-evident.
Metaphor.
From the fact that Han Hu gave Li Ran this official position, it can be seen that he has great trust in Li Ran.
After all, if you are not someone you can absolutely trust, how can you give someone this kind of position that you always have to be around?
Zichan told Li Ran the news, and Li Ran had no intention of becoming an official in Zheng State. After all, he had promised Lu Hou.
But now that Han Hu's orders have been issued, he has to go up even if he can't, and he can't avoid it, so he can only kowtow and accept it.
"Ziming, I know that you are benevolent and righteous, and you do things without seeking for yourself."
"However, it is inconvenient to do some things as a white person."
"Since Ziming aspires to be the leader of the world and have peace and tranquility, he should naturally strive for high status and gain real power to benefit the people."
In fact, as the son of a ruling minister, he himself has such thoughts. Therefore, he is in great need of like-minded helpers like Li Ran.
He even regretted not being able to win over Li Ran earlier when he was in the Jin Kingdom. If he could have gotten Li Ran's help earlier, perhaps his new policy would not be as difficult as it is now.
However, it is certainly not too late. As long as Li Ran can stay in Zheng and serve for him, he firmly believes that with Li Ran's ability, sooner or later, Zheng will be truly powerful, and then he will no longer have to fear Jin and Chu.
The blackmail of appearance.
And this intention is also the true meaning of the position of "pedestrian".
"Thank you very much, doctor, for your kindness. I will definitely remember what you said today."
"Actually, how can you not know it? Now that you have entered the door of a power struggle, if you cannot deal with it with a correct name and have no reputation, I am afraid that your life will be precarious and you will be framed sooner or later. The officials and the people in charge of the country will be framed.
It’s a good intention, but I will keep it in my heart and never forget it.”
"However, Ran Benbuyi, even in the Zhou royal family, was just a small-time guardian of the Tibetan Chamber of Commerce, and had no intention of fighting. It was just because he had been forced by others in the past two years and had no choice but to do so. If not,
I'm afraid that Li Ran has already been obsessed with the mountains and rivers at this moment and has forgotten everything."
Of course Li Ran knew Hanhu and Zichan's intentions in pushing him to this position.
Although the position of a pedestrian is not great, he can always get close to the superiors, that is, Han Hu and Zi Chan.
Hanhu and Zichan pushed him to this position, naturally they wanted to use their power in Zheng to protect Li Ran, so that others would not dare to attack Li Ran, or dare not deal with Li Ran rashly.
This is their kind intention, how can Li Ran pretend not to know?
But what Zichan said just now actually has a profound meaning.
He said that since Li Ran cares about the people, he must fight for the upper reaches and seek real power to benefit the people.
These words sounded like he was trying to persuade Li Ran to take a step further, and Zichan might have thought this way.
But he, Li Ran, is extremely smart, so how could he not know the principle of "taking precedence over others"?
You must know that power is the most fascinating thing in the world. Anyone who is tainted by power will never be as pure and simple as they seem on the surface.
Although Li Ran has only been up and down for a few years, he has long been accustomed to people's insatiable desire for power. That kind of almost obsessive competition has become a disease, a disease like tarsal poison. I'm afraid
No medicine or stone in the world can cure it.
Coupled with the five thousand years of accumulation carried in Li Ran's memory, he is very familiar with this Tao.
Sure enough, Zichan was very happy to hear what Li Ran said, and even more pleased.
"Well...if you care about mountains and rivers, you will be happy in life. Hey, if the world is stable, who in the world wouldn't want to be like this?"
"Ziming, but now is not the time to focus on the mountains and rivers. We both have a long way to go. We need to work harder."
The road to Zheng Guo has a long way to go.
He knew that with his own strength, it would be difficult for him to realize such a grand vision as "the stability of the world."
Therefore, he chose Li Ran as his right-hand man, a person who may know how to govern the people better than him and has a more sacred heart.
And this may be what the ancients said: "Those who use teachers are kings, and those who use friends are hegemons."
"Promise, I will follow the doctor's instructions!"
Li Ran's "promise" was regarded as an agreement. Now that he has embarked on the official career of Zheng Guo, let's put his talents to good use!
The two then chatted for a while, and while chatting, they naturally talked about the person behind the poisoning incident.
"What is certain now is that Dr. Boshi and Dr. Zixi colluded secretly. One secretly poisoned him to cause trouble, and the other guided the officials in the court. In order to completely change Zheng Yi
If the city becomes an isolated city, public dissatisfaction will spread, which will damage the reputation of the doctor. At that time, the doctor may be willing to do so, or he may use some extraordinary means to force the doctor to give up his position as the ruling minister!"
"These two men have ulterior motives and are really hateful. If the doctor just avoids them, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
As the poisoning incident has slowly come to an end, Zichan still has no clear plan on how to deal with the two men hiding behind the scenes.
Of course, Li Ran also knew that these two people in Zheng State were just like the Ji family in Lu State. But the living example of Lu State was right in front of him. If he did not learn from the painful experience and remove this cancer, then the future of Zheng State would be great.
Very worrying.
Before, he and Zichan had the same idea, wanting to wait until the incident calmed down before making a decision.
And now the time has come.
"Avoid them?"
"Haha, Zi Ming, you think that I am too lenient."
After Zichan finished speaking, his face became awe-inspiring.
