Speaking of this alliance, the civil strife in the Chu State was just a pretext in the final analysis. In fact, everyone knows that Jin and Chu have already made peace, not to mention that there had been an alliance to eliminate troops before. Even if the Jin State really wants to
Is it possible to fight against the Chu State with the current situation of the Jin State?
In fact, how could Han Qi not know this? Do you think he can really make an alliance with the princes, march all the way south, and capture the Ying capital of Chu? Therefore, in the final analysis, the face and dignity of this alliance have to be found elsewhere.
.
At the moment, the fierce battle between Lu and Ju and Zhu is going on, so the main direction of this alliance naturally falls on the territorial issue between Lu, Ju and Zhu.
Except for these three countries, the other princely states were watching with an attitude of watching the fun. Seeing Han Qi mention Ji Sunsu's name when he came up, they all looked sideways for a while, waiting for Ji Sunsu's next words.
But while watching the excitement, they also paid close attention to the attitude of the Marquis of Jin, although at this time the Marquis of Jin was more like a symbol than the person who actually gave orders.
The same is true for Li Ran.
When he was watching Han Qi's performance, he also paid special attention to the attitude of the Marquis of Jin. He saw that the Marquis of Jin did not seem to have changed much from when Han Qi presided over the alliance to this time. His whole person also looked very calm.
Calm, even plain, not as "heroic" as imagined.
Why is this? Li Ran has been thinking about this question.
But before he could think about the answer, Ji Sunsu on the alliance stage had already spoken out.
"May I ask Han Zhongjun, what do you mean by this statement?"
Ji Sunsu was indeed afraid of Jin, or Han Qi, but this did not mean that he had given up struggling.
Although he knew that today's meeting was very likely for Han Qi to come to him. Just like the previous sacrifice to heaven, he was likely to be stabbed in the back this time.
If he gave up without a struggle as the number one talker, wouldn't Ji's face really be lost?
Humans are such strange creatures. When they are not facing a desperate situation, they always feel that there is still hope. Even if they comfort themselves, they can always find a glimmer of hope of comfort from various factors.
The glimmer of hope that Ji Sunsu still had in his heart at this moment was that Han Qi had accepted a bribe from him, so he wouldn't have beaten him to death completely, taking the money and not doing anything, right? After all, he was a dignified Jin state.
The ruling minister!
Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed.
Han Qi frowned slightly after hearing this, and then looked towards Ju Zi and Zhu Zi:
"Two princes, Dr. Jisun seems to be unaware of what's going on. Could you please trouble me to explain it to Dr. Jisun?"
The smart Han Qi, at the critical moment, dumped this burden to the two suffering masters - Ju State and Zhu State.
He did receive benefits from the Ji family, but this does not mean that he will definitely help the Ji family mediate. Friendship between the two clans is one thing, but international issues are another matter.
Coupled with what Yang Yanji told him last night, he was now more determined that Ju and Zhu could only deal with this muddy water.
I really can't do it.
But I've given you face, and how you face the master of suffering next is your own business, Ji Sunsu.
I, Han Qi, pretended not to know anything. This is a huge honor to you, Ji family. After everything has been done, from now on, Han Qi and I will have nothing to do with each other. That's right, making a show, going through the motions, and showing off your authority are my main tasks today. Not only will I not take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury, but I will also give you a chance to change your ways. I, Han Qi, have an explanation for you Ji.
.
Li Ran watched from a distance in the audience, and couldn't help but secretly admire Han Qi's cunning.
When the princes of Ju and Zhu heard what Han Qi said, they immediately stood up and bowed to the Marquis of Jin.
At this time, the Marquis of Jin finally made the first very clear action since the alliance began - surrendering his hand.
What he meant by handing over was to signal to the princes of Ju and Zhu: You can do whatever you want.
When Ji Sunsu saw this scene, he probably even wanted to die.
"No wonder Han Qi refuses to help me! It turns out that the Marquis of Jin is supporting them behind the scenes!"
Although the Marquis of Jin is just a symbol, no matter how "symbol" he is, he is still the king of Jin - the nominal leader of the alliance. Naturally, he must keep his word and promise a thousand pieces of gold.
And Han Qi is the commander-in-chief of the Central Military Commission. No matter how powerful the Six Ministers are, why not look at the boss's face on such a trivial issue?
At this time, the boss asked Ju and Zhu to handle matters on their own. Wasn't it clear that he wanted to favor the two of them and abandon the Ji family?
When Ji Sunsu thought of this, his heart suddenly felt bitter:
Hey! If I had known earlier, it would be better to offer it directly to the Marquis of Jin!
However, there is no medicine for regret in this world. When Ji Sunsu chose to bribe Han Qi, he had already lost this game, but he never realized it.
On the one hand, he underestimated the role of the Marquis of Jin, and on the other hand, he still did not have a clear judgment on Han Qi's principles of dealing with things, so he put the cart before the horse and the defeat was certain.
"Huh! Jisun is an old man!"
"Today, in front of the Marquis of Jin, I would like to ask you, your Ji family has violated the oath of the Song alliance, invaded our territory for many years, and occupied several cities. Do you still have this justice in the world? Do you still have the Jin Dynasty?
Hou?!"
Zhuzi was relatively strong and full of righteous indignation. He opened his mouth to speak justice but shut his mouth to the Marquis of Jin, and kidnapped Ji's behavior to such a level that he could not stand down.
Juzi, on the other hand, seemed very indifferent, or rather...it didn't matter, she just stood aside and never said anything.
In fact, it's not that Juzi doesn't care. The main reason why he doesn't speak is that he's still chewing something in his mouth, so...
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please make the decision for us!"
Zhuzi was very smart, so he turned around and handed over this glorious task to the Marquis of Jin.
When Ji Sunsu saw this, he really smashed his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach. He felt regretful and helpless at this moment. If he had known this, what kind of bullshit alliance would a ghost come to join!
When Shusun Bao said he was ill and couldn't come, he was still complacent and thought he was getting an advantage. However, looking at it today, it was not an advantage at all. It was clearly a huge pit, and everyone was waiting for him to get in.
Jump!
"Uncle and grandson! I am incompatible with you!"
After secretly cursing Shusun Bao for a while, Ji Sunsu knew that there was no room for maneuver today. He turned his eyes to the Marquis of Jin and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Ju Zi, who had not spoken until now, suddenly spoke up again.
Juzi looks funny with her big belly, and she is greedy, giving people a look that "doesn't understand etiquette".
But when he finished speaking, Li Ran was suddenly startled and sighed secretly:
"These people must all have graduated from drama majors! They are really better at acting than the other ones!"
Just listen to Ju Zi’s words as if nothing happened:
"Doctor Ji Sun, I am here today just to ask you for a city. As long as you return the city to me, I will treat you as a friend."
At first glance, this may not sound like much. It also makes Juzi appear innocent, which is very consistent with his own image and is perfect.
But if you think about it carefully, the articles here are really big.
First of all, Juzi made it clear that the purpose of his coming today was to ask for the city from Ji Sunsu. This means that before he came, the purpose of coming to the alliance this time had been determined.
The problem is that before the meeting in Pingqiu, he didn't even dare to fart. Where did he have the courage to ask Ji Sunsu for the city today?
Doesn't this mean that before the meeting in Pingqiu, he had already received the approval of the Marquis of Jin, so he came so confidently and boldly to ask for the city?
Secondly, he also said, "As long as you return the city to me, I will still treat you as a friend."
This sounds like a very polite statement.
But think about it the other way around?
If you don't pay back, then who do you think you are?
That's right, it's the enemy.
The implication is that we are either friends and we can coexist peacefully and develop together, or we are enemies.
And once we become enemies, then everyone is ready to go back to their respective homes and show off their special abilities.
So, the question arises again. Before the meeting of Pingqiu was held, the Ju Kingdom watched the Ji family occupy so much of their land, and they did not dare to breathe. Why did they suddenly become so tough now? They dared to kick their noses at every turn.
On your face?
This is of course due to the fact that Sun Wu is currently leading the armies of Ju and Zhu.
Now, under the leadership of Sun Wu, the armies of Ju and Zhu are unstoppable and have surrounded Yiyi. Ji Sun Yiru is now struggling to support and has cut off foreign aid. The defeat of Yiyi is imminent.
.
It was precisely because of the great victory on the front line that he had the courage to say this.
To sum up, this Juzi looks "silly", but every word he says is a hidden mystery.
If you say that he graduated from the Drama Academy, there is no problem at all. His acting skills are really amazing!
Li Ran really admired this fat king, because he almost deceived him with his greedy and silly look just now.
"Talent, what a talent."
Li Ran sighed again, looking forward to this wonderful world a little more out of thin air.
Getting back to the topic, Ju Zi has already put down her cruel words: If you don’t pay me back, I will beat you.
Ji Sunsu was not stupid, so he naturally understood what he meant, and said hurriedly:
"The princes calm down, this matter is between the princes of Jin and the princes..."
"Eh? Where is your prince? Where has your prince gone now?"
Before Ji Sunsu finished speaking, Juzi asked further.
Ji Sunsu was stunned again.
Where is the Marquis of Lu? The Marquis of Lu is already on his way back to the State of Lu!
"I heard that the Marquis of Lu set out to return to the State of Lu last night. You are the ghostwriter of the State of Lu. You should give an explanation for this matter."
At this time, Zhuzi took advantage of the victory to pursue him, and directly asked Ji Sunsu by name for an explanation.
At this time, Ji Sunsu was in a state of embarrassment. He wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in. However, the platform was entirely made of stone. No matter how hard he hit his head, he might not be able to break through a crack.
But at this moment, Ji Sunsu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with today's matter.
About the return of Marquis Lu to the State of Lu, only the people of the State of Lu should know about it, and at most, Yang Tongui, Han Qi and others, how did Zhuzi know about it?
Could it be that Juzi and Zhuzi had already been informed of the fact that Yang Yanji came to persuade the Marquis of Lu to retreat last night?
That’s it! This is simply a conspiracy!
Ji Sunsu suddenly woke up, and two horrified looks suddenly shot out from his old eyes.
"It turns out that this was arranged by Sheeptongue and the others a long time ago! Today's situation was deliberately designed to target me!"
"That's why they deliberately asked Marquis Lu to return last night! Just to prevent me from coming to Taiwan today!"
In the absence of the Marquis of Lu, all the responsibilities that should be borne by the Lu State can naturally only be borne by Ji Sunsu.
Whether it was the prosecution of Juzi and Zhuzi, or the final punishment of the Marquis of Jin, Ji Sunsu would be borne by him alone.
And in this so-called meeting in Pingqiu, Ji Sunsu was just a meal of fish and meat on a chopping board.
