Just as the doctor said, Li Ran's daughter Liguang's illness is not life-threatening for the time being if she is treated well.
Although Li Ran and Ji Le were distressed, they had no good solution for the time being.
As for Guancong's desire to let Li Ran return to the Zhou royal family to succeed him as the head of the pavilion, Li Ran did not immediately give a clear reply.
In this way, several more months passed. Lu Hou Chou's whereabouts were still unknown. As for the Song Dynasty, the Huaxiang Rebellion was indeed as Guan Cong said, and it finally ended with Song Gong's victory.
However, strictly speaking, there are also some unsatisfactory aspects.
Under the intervention of the Central Plains powers of Jin, Qi, and Wei, Hua Xiang rebelled and suffered heavy losses.
Hua Deng, the leader of the chaos, finally went to Chu King Qiji for help, hoping that their Chu country could come forward and mediate between all parties. Since Chu King Qiji came to the throne, he has always shown himself as a good man, and this time was no exception, so
, so he sent Chiayue to the Song Dynasty to mediate.
This chaos caused chaos throughout the Song Dynasty. The Duke of Song was unwilling to mediate and immediately refused. Jin, Qi, Wei and other countries were not very satisfied after learning of his refusal.
After all, their actions were the result of checks and balances from all parties. Nowadays, countries are full of internal contradictions. To be able to do this can be regarded as the most benevolent thing.
However, Song Gongzuo still wanted to completely annihilate the Hua and Xiang clans. How could this prevent the ministers who led the troops from Jin from feeling a little bit sad?
Therefore, the allied forces led by the Jin Dynasty only worked but did not contribute any strength for the time being. They could only see Song Gong Zuo's teeth itching.
When he saw that all parties were trying to "beg for peace", he had no choice but to give up his opinion and once again allowed the remaining members of the Hua Xiang clan to flee to Chu.
However, the Song Dynasty finally returned to peace, and this farce came to an end.
After Li Ran learned the news, he had an in-depth conversation with Guan Cong. He was very surprised as to why Jin, Qi, Wei and other countries would send troops to help Duke Song.
Especially for the Jin State, it stands to reason that these noble clans who adhere to the government have no reason to stand up for the Song Dynasty official, or even to embarrass their own "alliance"?
Although Guan Cong didn't understand it very well, it was actually not difficult to understand at first glance.
After all, the overall power of the Jin Kingdom is now declining, and the Marquis of Qi has been trying to become the hegemon for a long time. Now that there is civil strife in the Song Dynasty, the Marquis of Qi naturally wants to get involved. Therefore, Yan Ying wants to use this to persuade the Marquis of Qi. In fact,
It's not difficult either.
Similarly, since the Qi State is ready to take action, can the Jin State sit back and do nothing? No matter how chaotic the Jin State is internally, as long as they still want to maintain their superficial hegemony, they will still choose to take action.
Because Jin's hegemonic status is still a name that can be used to blackmail other countries for them, the "Qing clan". Of course, they are not willing to give up easily.
What's more, since Qi State is willing to uphold morality and come out to support Song Gong, and "Daoji" is secretly advocating justice everywhere, Nahua will be defeated by rebelling against the party in all likelihood.
That being the case, can they, the Jin Kingdom, be absent? Obviously not.
As for the Wei State, the Jin State has always been the one to follow the lead, so since the Jin State has chosen to send troops, it is natural for the Wei State to choose to send troops.
Although Guan Cong actually knows very little about the "hidden crowd". However, it is obvious that in this struggle, "Taoism" occupies the moral side, and because of this, the "Taoism" of all parties
Only the members of "Ji" can operate from it and try their best to persuade the ministers and officials of various countries to jointly solve the civil strife in Song Dynasty.
】
At least on the surface, that's the case.
After the chaos in the Song Dynasty, it seemed that the world had entered a period of calm again, and all countries seemed relatively peaceful. However, as Li Ran expected, undercurrents gradually began to surge on the side of the Zhou royal family.
Until one day, obituary notices suddenly came from all over the world, saying that the king of Zhou died of a sudden illness while hunting.
But there are rumors among the people that this was done by Shan and Liu!
The Zhou royal family also quickly established a new king, but Wang Gui's beloved son Wang Zichao quickly gathered his old troops to invade Chengzhou. After a lot of back and forth, Wang Zichao was finally defeated and had no choice but to flee. His whereabouts are currently unknown.
.
Li Ran already knew all this, but these things were too far away from him, and he really didn't want to do anything about it now.
On this day, Sun Wu was training his soldiers. Li Ran asked all his soldiers to come to the manor on the outskirts of Zhengyi. In order to protect Ji Le's safety, Li Ran and Ji Le stopped and watched with their children in their arms.
The number of these soldiers was not large, only a few hundred, but under Sun Wu's training, they were orderly and energetic. They were all practicing the formations taught to them by Sun Wu.
Chu Dang was among them, but these formations made him dizzy. After practicing for only a while, he sat aside angrily.
Sun Wu also knew his nature and didn't care about him. Sun Wu knew that letting him charge into the formation would definitely make him a good player, but letting him follow the formation would really make things difficult for him.
"Le'er, Owl Yi came to say that there is still no news about Lu Houchou!"
Li Ran was talking while watching the soldiers training in front of him.
Ji Le An Ran:
"Ah Chou doesn't know what's going on now... He must have suffered a lot!"
"Although we still don't know his whereabouts, his life should be safe, otherwise Owl Wings wouldn't be able to find out any information. It must be that Ji Sun Yiru pressed too hard that time, so he didn't dare to show his face easily."
While listening to Ji Le, he kissed the daughter in his arms again.
"Now I just want the child's condition to be cured and Ah Chou to be able to save the day. I don't want to think about anything else!"
Li Ran felt a little comforted when he saw Ji Le's behavior. He knew that Ji Le's hostility and obsession with hatred were not that strong.
"Then my husband will let Owl Wings come back first and leave someone outside to continue the visit. We always have to find the person first!"
At this time Fan Li came over.
"Sir, there is a person outside the house who wants to see you!"
"who?"
"This man has a dignified appearance. Although he wears coarse cloth, he has an extraordinary temperament! But... he refuses to tell where he is famous."
Li Ran thought about it for a while and felt that the person coming might be the person he was thinking of, so he said:
"Go and bring him in, and invite Sun Wu and Guan Cong to come to the living room to discuss matters."
Li Ran turned around and said to Ji Le:
"Le'er, it's windy outside. Please take your children back to the house to rest. You'll come back after you finish talking to your husband!"
Ji Le raised her daughter's hand and waved to Li Ran.
"Say goodbye to my father."
Li Ran smiled and waved.
"Haha, see you Guang'er!"
Li Ran came to the living room, and soon Fan Li came in with someone. When Li Ran saw this person, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
I saw that this man was indeed as Fan Li said, upright and handsome, with a noble and elegant temperament. What Li Ran couldn't believe was that he was exactly the same as his close friend Zhou Prince Jin!
Prince Jin and Li Ran were close friends back then. Now when he saw a person who looked so similar, Li Ran's heart was turbulent. He even wanted to rush up and hug this person directly.
Li Ran really misses his friend Prince Jin so much.
Although this man was wearing coarse clothes, his appearance and temperament made Li Ran guess a lot, and he also saluted Li Ran.
"The unfilial son of Zhou Zong met Mr. Ziming in court!"
Li Ran suddenly realized that the person in front of him was none other than Wang Zichao!
When Li Ran heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent and immediately stood up to return the salute.
"It turns out that the prince is here. I missed the reception at a distance. I hope your highness will forgive me!"
Wang Zichao gave a wry smile and couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"Now that you are in such a state of desolation, how dare you think of yourself as a prince again?"
At this time, Sun Wu and Guan Cong had also arrived. After seeing Wang Zichao, everyone sat on the ground, and Li Ran ordered someone to serve him with pure water. Wang Zichao drank it all in one gulp, thinking that he had gone through all the hard work along the way.
Through observation, Li Ran had already known that Zhou Wanggui was very fond of Wang Zichao and was quite satisfied with his words, deeds, and appearance. Therefore, he had intended to make him the crown prince.
Moreover, Zhou Wanggui also felt quite guilty for his mother's murder of his brother, Prince Jin, and his child was exactly the same as Prince Jin. Therefore, wanting to make him the crown prince was more or less a sign of respect for his brother.
a consolation and compensation.
At that time, Binqi, as the Taifu of the prince dynasty, was naturally highly used.
Within the Zhou royal family, there were also two major Qing clans, namely the Shan family and the Liu family.
Liu Di, the concubine of the Liu family, has been working for Dan Qi, the leader of the Shan family. The Shan family is very disgusted with Bin Qi and has always wanted to kill him. At the same time, they are also afraid that if the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, it will be detrimental to them, the noble family.
, so he kept thinking about how to expel the prince dynasty.
Naturally, Zhou Wanggui was aware of this, so he wanted to use the name of hunting in Beishan to send all the ministers there, hoping to take this opportunity to kill the heads of Shan Qi and the Liu family, thereby annihilating the Shan and Liu families.
But he never expected that Zhou Wanggui would end up being suspected of being killed during a field hunt and died mysteriously!
But the most unexpected thing was that on the next day, the head of the Liu family who went hunting with him suddenly died suddenly. Because he had no legitimate son, Liu Di, with the support of Shan Qi,
Becoming the head of the Liu family, the Shan family and the Liu family were completely connected.
