Uncle Sun didn't dare to leave like this, so he kept waiting outside the official residence.
Although Li Ran did not dare to be disappointed with his uncle and grandson, after thinking that he was a friend after all, he casually wrote a letter to him:
"How can I, Li Ran, an outsider dare to decide on the matter of establishing a king when there are ministers, officials and guardians here? As for the people in Yunyi, if they want to return to Lu, they can go by themselves, and if they don't want to return to Lu, they can choose to go into exile. Li Ran
How dare you make decisions for others without permission?"
"As for Li Ran, since he is not from Lu, how can he be said to be 'returning to Lu'? When things are over here, Li Ran will return to Zheng in the future. But now he is temporarily living in Yunyi, which is really a last resort. I still want to think about it.
I am seriously ill and have a lot of inconveniences. If I could live here temporarily, Li Ran would be very grateful."
The servant took the slip and hurriedly went out to go where his uncle and grandson did not dare to go, but he happened to meet Guan Cong in the courtyard.
Gu used to assist Confucius in organizing Lu Houchou's funeral, but now Lu Houchou's funeral is going on as usual, so there is not much to do now.
In his spare time at this moment, he was playing with the sundial in front of him, and from time to time he looked at the sun shadows of the surrounding objects.
Guan Cong noticed that the servant was in a hurry, so he immediately stopped him and asked him where he was going.
This servant knew Guan Cong and knew that he was always with his master and was his confidant, so he told everything about what happened just now.
After listening, Guan Cong smiled:
"Oh, if that's the case, then go quickly and don't miss anything!"
After hearing this, the man trotted out, while Guan Cong put the sundial back to its original place, then entered the house and found Li Ran.
Li Ran was about to go to the inner room to watch the ritual music, but when he saw the smile on Guan Cong's face, he was a little puzzled and stopped.
Although the relationship between him and Guan Cong was reconciled when he was imprisoned by Wang Zichao, they had different interests after all, so it could only be described as "harmony without difference."
"Why is Ziyu laughing?"
Guan Cong raised his hands and smiled:
"Haha, congratulations, young master!"
When Li Ran saw this situation, he was even more confused. He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd.
I know he may be holding back some harmful moves.
However, he also knew that even if it was a damaging move, it would only be used against Li Ran's enemies.
"I wonder where joy comes from?"
Facing Li Ran's confusion, Guan Cong smiled again:
"The reason why I congratulate you, young master, is because the old thief Ji Sun is probably not going to die soon! And the young lady's great revenge is about to be avenged! The young lady is suffering from a stubborn illness, which is because of a heart disease. If this revenge is avenged, or
It will also be of great benefit to my wife’s illness!”
Li Ran couldn't help but give a wry smile in reply:
"Ziyu, I know that you have been studying the art of divination during this period of time. However, although these divine art are clean and subtle, they are generally ambiguous. You can argue with them, but you cannot take them seriously. You
Do you think you believe these false accusations this time?"
Guan Bong couldn't help but sneered and shook his head:
"Haha, young master, I don't know something. I, Guan Cong, have actually been proficient in "Yi" since I was young. How can I not understand the principle of 'pure, quiet, subtle but not ruthless, but deeper than Yi'? What Guan Cong said today is not from Cong.
It is obtained through the art of divination, but it is obtained through calculation from heaven!"
"Oh? Tianli?"
"Human beings are born in silence, which is the nature of nature. Being moved by things is also the desire of nature. With the current development of events, that old thief Ji Sun is entering the path of heaven, and he will undoubtedly die!"
When Li Ran heard this, he became somewhat interested and couldn't help but say:
"Oh? Tell me in detail!"
Just listen to Guan Cong talk again:
"Ten years ago, the final outcome of the conflict between the Ji family and the Marquis of Lu was that the Ji family won a complete victory. But now, the Marquis of Lu failed to survive him, and the young master was ready to abandon Lu again.
This statement can be said to be what Ji Sun Yiru wanted!"
At this point, even though Li Ran was smart, he still didn't know what Guan Cong wanted to say.
However, Li Ran did not interrupt him, and only listened to Guan Cong continue to speak:
"Ji Sunyi has only two enemies in his life. One is the Marquis of Lu, but now that the Marquis of Lu has passed away, there is nothing to fear. The other is the young master, and now the young master wants to retire.
In this case, Ji Sun Yiru can be said to be a 'strong' one! Looking around the world, Ji Sun Yiru may have no rival!"
"However, there is a saying in "The Book of Changes" that 'a villain uses his strength, but a gentleman does not.' When a villain like Ji Sun Yiru comes to the throne, he will inevitably be unable to restrain his own selfish desires. It is also said that 'Heaven wants to take everything'."
It must be given first. This is a natural cycle and it is unavoidable!"
When Li Ran heard "Heaven wants to take it, it must give it first", and he instantly understood the core meaning of what Guan Cong said. Not only because this sentence is from the "Tao De Jing", but also because Guan Cong, this
This is not the first time that he has shown his "play hard to get" technique.
I think back then, before King Chu Ling was killed, Guan Cong had found Li Ran and had similar conversations with him as he did today.
"Now what the young master needs to do is to stay calm and don't have to leave Yunyi. Of course, the State of Lu cannot go there either. All he has to do is watch the fire from the other side! Guan Cong asserts that Ji Sun Yiru's energy has been exhausted and he will not be able to leave.
You will die every day!"
Although Li Ran felt that Guan Cong's words were somewhat reasonable, he also felt vaguely that Guan Cong must be hiding something.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Guan Cong, "watching the fire from the other side" is probably not Guan Cong's behavior. To support the fire in secret is Guan Cong's consistent style.
What's more, how can such metaphysics directly predict a person's final outcome?
Therefore, he concluded that Guan must have had an idea at this moment.
"Guan Cong, do you already have some concerns?"
Guan Cong smiled mysteriously and said without comment:
"Everything Guan Cong does is to repay the kindness of the young master. Since my wife hates the old traitor Ji Sun deeply, and the young master is so caring, Guan Cong dares not to obey his orders? Furthermore, this is the fault of the old traitor Ji Sun."
, he abused the people without restraint and did not follow the order of dignity and inferiority. He should have suffered this long ago!"
"Now Ji Sun Yiru's life hangs in the balance. It is not a pity for this person to die, and what we should consider now is how to make good use of this chess piece. We never dare to let his death be worthless.
ah!"
Li Ran looked sideways at Guan Cong.
"What do you mean by a 'chess piece'? Ziyu doesn't have to hold back on me, just say it clearly!"
Guan Cong bowed and replied:
"promise!"
"I have always thought that since it has become a fact that Ji Sun Yiru has overstepped his power to take over the throne, he should be allowed to expose his selfish desires to the public before his death! And let him inflate himself and do more things that are beyond the rules and regulations.
Come!"
"Think of that old thief Ji Sun, although he hates Marquis Lu to the core, he has always regarded himself as a 'victim' these years. Ever since Marquis Lu ran away, Ji Sun Yiru has also been in fear and fear all day long. So, now,
If we don't let them realize their desires, how can we accomplish anything?"
"The only way is to make him commit suicide, and wait until he has established the Ji family's reputation as a 'deceiver'. By then, everyone will see the Ji family's true face. The people of Lu have suffered from the Ji family for a long time.
At that time, the Ji family will also suffer its backlash!"
"Now among the three states of Lu, the Ji family is the only one. So if something happens to the Ji family, then the three states of Lu will be defeated by themselves!"
Li Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Guan Cong was right. In order to give his acting regent power a legitimate say, Ji Sun Yiru had never abolished it. Moreover, he had always regarded himself as a "victim".
, in order to win the sympathy of the world.
"So, how can we give old thief Ji Sun a 'good death' and restore the prestige of the office! This is the key."
After hearing this, Li Ran looked at Guan Cong in surprise.
This guy's idea, at first glance, seems a bit unreasonable. But when you think about it carefully, it is indeed far-reaching.
This observation is like being in another dimension, observing the development of the whole thing at all times.
This person often looks at problems very clearly. Although he is used to conspiracy and tricks, and he is smart and thieves, he can often start from the overall situation, follow the trend, and get to the point.
As far as these abilities are concerned, even Li Ran has to accept this.
