Chapter 226 The reason why Xiang assisted in childbirth
Si Hei's death is destined.
In this era of strategists, an IQ like his is obviously not good enough. If his IQ is not enough and he has the virtue to make up for it, then he should be blameless.
But this Si Hei especially likes to act recklessly and cause trouble. Therefore, for him, death is just a matter of time.
Today's "one-foot-long white silk" is obviously the most honorable way of death for him and the most suitable way to die for his status.
Although Zichan said he was unforgiving, what about the reality? When he was exposed to Sihei's crimes, he was not punished for treason, but was relatively convicted of three relatively minor charges. This can be regarded as
Maintaining his last face as a Gongsun generation.
When the news reached the Chu State, Chu King Xiong Wei's expression was also calm. After all, what he needed was Li Ran's assistance. As for the life and death of other foreigners, what did it have to do with him?
When Li Ran learned about it, a huge stone fell in his heart. After all, the destruction of Sihei was not a bad thing for Zheng Guo and Zichan. They could take this opportunity to eliminate a factor of instability. After all, it was not a bad thing.
In addition, he couldn't help but praise Zichan for his actions and the "Three Sins of Evil" declared to the outside world.
Zichan is indeed a virtuous gentleman.
You must know that Si Hei's intention to rebel is an irrefutable fact. As for Zichan, if he wants to use this matter to make a big "rumor" and take the opportunity to expand the matter, the original
After all those who opposed him were implicated and punished, who would dare to say "no" to his new policies in the future?
However, Zichan did not do this after all, and he did not even publicly accuse Sihe of intending to launch a rebellion.
If this is not his own benevolence as a gentleman, how can he "deny himself and restore etiquette" like this?
When Sun Wu heard Li Ran analyze the truth there, he couldn't help but nod in agreement. He also couldn't help but sigh with emotion about Zichan's situation in Zheng Guo these years:
"Doctor Zichan has to take care of both ends when he is serving the king, and when he is going down to the countryside, he must take care of both ends. It is not easy to maintain such a balance."
"If Dr. Zichan's treatment is too violent this time, it will definitely lead to an imbalance. I'm afraid it will still be him who is in trouble."
"It's difficult...I guess Doctor Zichan also has some unspeakable difficulties in his heart..."
Sun Wu, from another angle, explained another reason why Zichan did what he did.
The benevolence of a gentleman is only one aspect, and the difficulty of being unable to control oneself is another matter.
Following Li Ran for many years, Sun Wu gradually learned to see the essence through phenomena.
It is true that Zichan is a minister in power, but precisely because he is a high-ranking minister in power, it will be particularly difficult to deal with the young people in the country.
After all, he not only has to protect the face of the office, but also the interests of the people. And he can't let Uncle Zheng or Han Hu have other ideas because of such a thing.
To put it bluntly, we must not only ensure the normal operation of the entire national machine, but also protect ourselves wisely.
The scale and intensity of its work must be quite sophisticated.
That's why Sun Wu lamented the difficulty of being a minister in power. After all, this kind of job would be really difficult to do if you didn't have some real skills.
"Haha, what Chang Qing said is absolutely true."
"The way we deal with it now is the best result."
"Chang Qing should now understand why I must assist Dr. Zichan in completing the reform of the New Deal, right?"
Li Ranxiang assisted his son in childbirth, seemingly because the two of them had the same goals. But in fact, the answer to this question is not simple.
"Sir, do you respect Dr. Zichan's benevolence?"
Sun Wu obviously hadn't seen through this layer yet, so his answer was limited to the surface.
Li Ran shook his head, smiled and said slowly:
"In troubled times, a heart of benevolence is extremely valuable. But besides having a heart of benevolence, what is even more important is knowing how to govern a country."
"How to make a country strong, how to make the people of a country live and work in peace and contentment, how to make a country work together as one, so that the state is virtuous and the people are trustworthy. These are what a country's ministers in power should consider most."
"And these are the greatest virtues a gentleman should possess."
"Doctor Zichan has a good reputation, so his benevolence, morality and righteous deeds need not be discussed too much."
"However, as for these skills of governing the country and bringing peace to the people, one has to witness it with one's own eyes in order to get a glimpse of it. After all, there are people who seek fame and reputation, there are mediocre and incompetent people, and there are even more people who pretend to be public and benefit themselves. Therefore, throughout the ages,
, and how many monarchs and ministers have failed in the waves of reform..."
"So, the reason why I, Li Ran, wanted to assist my son in giving birth to a doctor is precisely because the doctor's original intention, determination and skills in governing the country are truly admirable. And only such a person can achieve this change.
The power of heaven and earth can change the world!"
Yes, the reason why Li Ran was determined to help Zichan no matter the cost was not just because Zichan had the heart of a saint who was willing to take care of the world.
What is more critical is Zichan's own ability and courage, as well as his skills in governing the country.
And isn't this what Li Ran is pursuing so hard?
Zichan's virtues and his governance of the country are the most remarkable ones that he can see so far.
Therefore, of course he wanted to help Zichan, because his arrival was originally for the purpose of drawing some of the purest and most primitive experiences in the long future.
"Eternal God Emperor"
After hearing this, Sun Wu immediately fell into thinking. He obviously didn't quite understand the meaning of what Li Ran said. After all, he couldn't understand what it meant to shoulder the burden of carrying the safety of the entire world on his shoulders.
…
At this time, the guards came to report that Wu Ju had come to visit.
After Li Ran agreed to King Chu's request to become a servant, he settled in Zhanghuatai.
The King of Chu also specially arranged an extremely luxurious Fragrant Garden for him, where Li Ran's food, drinks and daily life were all provided. Many times, the King of Chu even made a special trip to visit the Fragrant Garden.
Therefore, in terms of courtesy, King Chu has really achieved the ultimate.
As for the Xiangyuan here, it is natural that people can not come and go at will. There are personal guards of the King of Chu guarding both inside and outside the garden. Even a high-ranking minister like Wu Ju must first report to Li Ran when he comes to visit.
of.
Hearing that Wu Ju had come to visit, Li Ran did not dare to neglect him. After all, Wu Ju was a famous person around King Chu Xiong Wei. He was the first to follow King Xiong Wei, the crony of King Chu, and made great contributions to the King of Chu.
He is a person who has won the trust of King Chu.
Wu Ju entered the Xiangyuan and first greeted Li Ran. After both parties sat down, Wu Ju made it clear what his purpose was.
"To be honest, I still have doubts about Mr. Zhi Dui's intention to serve the State of Chu."
"I think that when I was in Guodi, Wu Ju also went to visit the gentleman with the generous gifts from the prince. Later, the king visited the gentleman in person. At that time, the gentleman rejected the prince's kindness several times. But now, the gentleman has
You are in Chu State, so you must have stayed in Chu State only as a last resort, right?"
"Haha, it's really embarrassing for you sir. Now, just to delay our Chu Kingdom's move to the north to fight for supremacy, you still want me to use yourself as a pledge. This act of sacrificing your life for the country is really shocking.
So touched!"
As smart as Wu Ju, he understood everything at a glance. Although he couldn't know everything about Li Ran's thoughts, he had no problem guessing about it.
