After Li Ran finished speaking, the Lingtai Palace was silent for a moment, and then there was a burst of cheers.
There is no doubt that the leader is naturally Sheeptongue.
And a group of Jin Qing officials who were originally opposed to going to the alliance, at this time also frequently spoke out, cheering and cheering for Li Ran's rebuttal. So,
In the huge palace, there was a moment of excitement and excitement, instantly pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
Whether it is based on the so-called principles of Zhou people or out of consideration for the interests of the entire world, Li Ran's words can be said to be extremely summarized and very convincing.
As Li Ran said,
If he rushes to join the alliance, he will not only commit injustice to the Jin Kingdom, but also
Moreover, the entire world may suffer irreparable losses.
With these three points raised by Li Ran, there was no longer any voice in the Jin Kingdom in favor of going to the meeting, and everyone's opinions were surprisingly unanimous:
Yes! If you don’t want to go, then don’t go!
The Marquis of Jin swept his gaze and finally landed on Li Ran.
"Li Ran is worthy of being a knowledgeable person. Hearing your words, I can't help but be enlightened and enlightened. I also admire you from the bottom of my heart!"
"Then, sir, do you have anything else to say?"
Immediately, he glanced at all the officials present.
Li Ranke saw all this and couldn't help but ponder it in his heart.
Because Li Ran had witnessed with his own eyes the majesty of Prince Yin of the Chu State, and there was a sharp contrast with the Marquis of Jin who was also the Lord of the Kingdom in front of him.
Even though he, the Marquis of Jin, did not agree to attend the alliance meeting in the first place, in this court, all formalities that should be done must still be done, and those who need to be persuaded must also be persuaded, and they must not make arbitrary claims.
Autocratic and authoritarian.
Some people may ask,
In the Jin Kingdom, what would happen if I, as the king, really exercised such arbitrary power?
Then just look at the fate of Jin Linggong and Jin Ligong.
Therefore, rather than saying that the Marquis of Jin is the master of a country, it is more appropriate to say that he is more like the arbiter of a country. This is more appropriate.
But what if this kind of thing was done in the Chu State? Based on the words of Prince Yin, it is estimated that there would be no room for discussion on this matter. Is it anyone else's turn to point fingers?
Can you tolerate this group of people quarreling like this in the temple? That is absolutely impossible!
But at this moment, seeing that all the ministers finally stopped talking, the Marquis of Jin felt a little at ease, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"In that case, I will order someone to send a message to the Chu envoy Wu Ju, I..."
"Your Majesty!"
Just when the Marquis of Jin was about to refuse the prince's invitation to the gathering in Guo Di, a very deep, yet slightly old voice suddenly came from outside the palace gate.
Everyone couldn't help but look outside the palace, and saw an old man wandering in from outside Lingtai Palace.
Although the old man is dressed in rich clothes, his beard and hair are white and he looks haggard.
When walking, I was already stumbling.
His face was full of grooves, but his eyes were still bright and clear.
It makes people dare not face it.
"Female uncle Qi?!"
"Lord Sima?!"
Nv Shuqi, female surname, named Hou, also given the courtesy name Shuqi, once served as Sima of the Jin Kingdom.
The person called "Nvshu Qi" is the Marquis of Jin, and the person called "Master Sima" is Zichan and a group of Jin officials.
"teacher?"
Then, Yang Yangui shouted like this.
It turns out that the female uncle Qi who stumbled into the temple at this time was actually Yang Tonguei's mentor!
Seeing the arrival of female uncle Qi, Yang Yanjie hurriedly went forward and knelt down to greet her. Unexpectedly, when female uncle Qi saw this disciple kneeling in front of him, he immediately fluttered his sleeves and pushed him away. Then, he looked after himself.
He staggered step by step into the inner hall.
"this?……"
Li Ran was also confused by the sudden appearance of his female uncle Qi, and was at a loss what to do.
However, after he calmed down a little and saw his uncle Qi's attitude towards Yang Tongue, he had already guessed:
"Not good! It seems that this matter..."
Li Ran frowned when he thought of this.
But at this time, the female uncle Qi had already arrived in the middle of the inner hall, and she bowed to the ground again, looking very senile:
"I, my queen, pay my respects to your Majesty!"
The female uncles came into the hall together, but they still couldn't avoid the courtesy, they just kowtowed.
"There is no need to be polite, Queen. Please get up quickly."
The Marquis of Jin hurriedly ordered someone to bring him a mat so that he could sit down.
But who knew that the female uncle Qi did not accept it, and only stood in the middle of the hall, his piercing eyes like thunder and fire sweeping across the faces of everyone in the hall, and then fell on Li Ran's face.
"This old man's eyes are so sharp!"
Even though it was Li Ran, he felt a thump in his heart at this moment, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
"Hmph! The people of Zheng have always been capricious. It has long been common for them to rebel against Jin and annex Chu. Who among the princes in the world doesn't know this?"
"There are so many villains in Zheng, I have seen them with my own eyes, and there are not a few of them. But it is the first time you two dare to speak nonsense in our Jin Dynasty court and confuse people's hearts!"
As mentioned before, Zheng Guo has jumped back and forth between Jin and Chu several times. The ancestors of the Zheng people have played a very good role in betraying their trust and leveraging their own strength.
Therefore, at this moment, facing the taunts from her female uncle Qi, even Zichan could not find a way to refute.
So naturally, Li Ran could only remain silent.
"Teacher, what Zichan and Ziming said is true..."
"How presumptuous! What does it have to do with your words as a teacher and as a king? Why don't you back down!"
Before Yang Yanji could finish his words, the female uncle looked at him and made him shrink back instantly.
This is an era that pays attention to conduct, and it is also an era when the culture of mentoring begins to rise.
With the gradual rise of teacher-teaching, more and more celebrities and sages began to teach their disciples. For example, Confucius, who was regarded as a literary sage by later generations, was born in this era.
Celebrities teach apprentices, and the succession from master to master is academic qualifications. What kind of master teaches what kind of students and whose disciples they come from have become a major guarantee for many students to enter the official career.
Therefore, as a disciple of the female uncle Xiang, Yang Yangui, although he was an official in the same court, but in front of the female uncle Qi, he, who is now considered a powerful diplomat and mediates between countries, can only bow his head at this moment.
I dare not show the slightest disrespect to my body.
"Marquis, today we have decided to reject the Chu people's invitation to form an alliance. Zheng Guo's doctor Zichan suggested that we, the Jin State, do not need to go. In both emotional and rational terms, this is the best for our Jin State.
But. Is there anything wrong with this?"
At this time, Uncle Qi straightened up her back slightly, cupped her hands and said:
"Your Majesty, I will never refuse the Chu people's meeting with Guo Di!"
After mocking Zichan and Li Ran, and scolding Yang Tongue, Nv Shuqi finally explained his purpose.
Yes, he is here to oppose Li Ran.
Jin people must go to this meeting in Guodi! Not only are they going, but they are also going with great fanfare, and they are also calling on all the princes in the world to go together!
For a moment, those Jin Guoqing officials who had been persuaded by Li Ran suddenly looked confused.
What Li Ran said just now can be said to be true every word. That's it, but what else can be refuted?
