Li Ran knew that if he continued to stay in Qufu, what awaited him would only be endless assassinations by the Ji family. Even blatant killings, just like this evening.
Sun Wu didn't want to leave just now, he also wanted to take revenge on the Ji family.
"The hatred between my two uncles is irreconcilable. How could I leave like this?!"
Sun Su was his second uncle. How could he, Sun Wu, endure such deep hatred?
However, Shu Sunbao said:
"I and Ziming have planned this matter, so don't interfere."
This sounds like he is reprimanding Sun Wu not to cause trouble, but in fact it is also an attitude out of protecting Sun Wu.
After all, compared to Li Ran, Sun Wu was even weaker in Qufu. It would be extremely difficult for him to seek revenge from the Ji family. On the other hand, he was just a commoner, and if the Ji family wanted to deal with him, it would be like squeezing an ant to death.
Average.
Keeping him out of the situation can at least save his life. In this era, living is better than anything else.
Like Li Ran, he came to Qufu in order to survive. Now he has to leave Qufu for the same reason.
This is all because Li Ran is a sensible person and a post-age realist who is flexible and flexible, and can face all this more calmly.
However, Sun Wu could not. He was fundamentally different from Li Ran. When he heard that Shusun Bao wanted him to stay out of the matter, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction:
"No! My second uncle's death must not be in vain! I must pay for the debt of the Ji family with blood!"
"If you are going to die tomorrow, how can you make Ji pay the price?"
"I and Ziming have been planning for so long to put the Ji family into today's predicament. Once there is another disturbance, our Lu country will fall into a situation where the Ji family is in sole control again. Do you want me to work with you?
Will all Zi Ming’s hard work be in vain?”
What Shusun Bao said is indeed true. As mentioned before, if the Ji family and Shusun family fight, the result will be that the great powers will wait for the opportunity, and even take the opportunity to infiltrate the Lu state.
By then, not only will the Ji family have the possibility of making a comeback, but it is even more likely that Lu will lose its autonomy again.
After all, this kind of thing has not happened before in the Lu State. I think back then, when the Lu State was in chaos, Qingfu, Ji You, Shu Ya and others all insisted on their own opinions and fought with each other. Like a son, Lu Mingong, uncle
The teeth died tragically one after another, creating chaos.
In order to be able to control the State of Lu, Duke Huan of Qi secretly supported a troublemaker like Qingfu to bring trouble to the State of Lu. He even did not hesitate to let his sister Ai Jiang take the initiative to approach Qingfu.
That’s why people in the world have a saying: “As long as Qingfu dies, Lu’s troubles will continue.” In fact, instead of blaming Qingfu alone, it’s better to talk about the business. Because the internal conflicts between the various forces in the Lu country have become too intense and too intense, this has been passed on to other countries.
Take advantage of the opportunity.
Therefore, although the Ji family is so arrogant, Uncle Sunbao cannot play with him like this. Otherwise, the "Qingfu Rebellion" will serve as a lesson to others.
Therefore, of course, Shu Sunbao could not let Sun Wu act recklessly. When he spoke, he had an expression of "hating iron but not steel" on his face. Although it was hidden in his eyes, it was revealed in his tone.
Like Li Ran, he had high hopes for Sun Wu. If Sun Wu could not face up to his situation and understand the current situation from this incident, then their high hopes would only turn into disappointment.
It's just that the difference between Li Ran and him is that Li Ran understands Sun Wu's situation and his eagerness for revenge.
In this era of broken etiquette and music, everyone is vying for profit, and relatives, friends, family, and old friends are not worth mentioning in the eyes of these people.
However, the fact that Sun Wu was able to show such a strong desire for revenge for Sun Su's death is enough to show that deep in his heart, his attachment to this kind of family is very different from those who are fighting for power. p>
Human nature is vividly displayed in this era where hundreds of flowers are blooming but wars are abound.
At least Sun Wu is inherently good, which Li Ran can be sure of.
So he looked at Sun Wudao:
"Come with me to the Kingdom of Zheng. I will make plans with the doctor about the matters here in the future."
"Don't worry, sir..."
Sun Wu was about to refute, but unexpectedly Li Ran waved his hand to stop him and continued:
"The Ji family's attack this time is not aimed at you, the Le'an Sun family, but at me, Li Ran. If I don't avenge this revenge, how can I, Li Ran, feel at ease?"
"But now is definitely not the time for revenge. A man is seven feet tall. He can do something and not do anything. Only by being able to bend and stretch can he become a great weapon!"
Sun Wu is still a bit young. Although he is extremely talented in military affairs, it does not mean that he can be as calm and calm in other aspects as in commanding war.
After listening to what Li Ran said, even though Sun Wu was unwilling to do so, he knew that it was difficult for him to avenge his second uncle by himself, so he had no choice but to step aside silently.
Upon seeing this, Uncle Sunbao knew that Sun Wu was okay for the time being, and immediately turned to look at Li Ranyan and said:
"I'm leaving tomorrow, is it too hasty? In my opinion, it's better to spread the word in Qufu City. Then there will definitely be a lot of people who are willing to follow you, Li Ran, to travel to Zheng State. With these people by your side,
I don’t think Ji will dare to be too presumptuous."
As for Li Ranjin's reputation, it can be said that it is like thunder in the city of Qufu, and no one knows it.
Even the words he said at the Xialiuhe rally were enough to gain him countless fans.
If he informs the public that he is about to leave Qufu and go to Zheng, I don’t know how many students will be willing to follow him. With the following of these students, Ji will have to think twice even if he wants to attack Li Ran.
"No need, implicating innocent people is not what I want, so let's leave the matter as it is."
"Right now, I have to go to the palace again, and I have to trouble the doctor about this."
Before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to Marquis Lu.
Shu Sunbao understood and immediately made arrangements.
……
Night is like water.
There was silence inside and outside the Chu Palace. The night sky under the late autumn looked very desolate, with only a few stars twinkling. The moon had no idea where it was hiding, and no silver light was visible.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
When Marquis Lu suddenly heard that Li Ran had come late at night, he was slightly startled and hurriedly ran out barefoot.
"Sir..."
"Your Majesty, I will be leaving the capital tomorrow, so I came here to say goodbye."
After Li Ran bowed, he bluntly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Sir?...Are you leaving after all?"
When Marquis Lu heard this, he was in a daze for a moment, with a feeling of reluctance lingering on his face.
From a young master who pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, to a monarch who holds the power of the king, it can be said that Li Ran gave him everything.
If it weren't for Li Ran, he would be enduring the pain in his heart and continuing to pretend to be crazy.
If it weren't for Li Ran, how could he be in and out of the Chu Palace where he could freely come and go, issue orders, and discuss state affairs?
If it weren't for Li Ran, his life would be as dim as the starry sky tonight.
Rather than saying that Li Ran was his guest, it would be better to say that Li Ran was his mentor.
But now my mentor is about to leave, and it is unknown whether we will see him again in the future. When we say goodbye, there is always a little more worry.
"However, I have been favored by the king, I dare not forget my virtue, I have thought long and hard, and I have finally lived up to my high expectations."
"Now that the emperor is in charge of the government, the resurgence of Lu is just around the corner!"
After saying that, Li Ran bowed respectfully and solemnly.
Marquis Lu was not in a hurry to help him, but said after he bowed:
"Where are you going, sir?"
"Go to Zheng Guo."
"Zheng Guo?"
It seems that Marquis Lu is a little confused by this answer.
But he understood it in an instant:
"By the way, Ji Le is in the State of Zheng. Since she is interested in Mr. Ji, it is indeed a good place to go. Moreover, the Ji family is very wealthy and powerful. If you go there, with your talents, you will definitely be put to good use by the Ji family for government and business.
Everyone has a happy life with a husband. I would like to wish him well in advance."
Marquis Lu's words should have made Li Ran blush, but the tone of his voice contained a hint of coldness, which actually made him feel less warm.
Li Ran knew this very well.
At present, the State of Zheng is also undergoing reforms under the rule of Zichan. If the State of Zheng is assisted by Li Ran, it will definitely be like a fish in water. Moreover, the State of Zheng is adjacent to Jin and Chu, and Li Ran's talents will inevitably attract the attention of these two superpowers.
If such a day comes, it is really unknown whether Li Ran is an enemy or a friend.
Therefore, he deliberately mentioned the four words "politics and business" and deliberately raised the tone of the last two words to remind Li Ran that it is enough to engage in business, but it is best not to engage in politics.
When Li Ran heard this, he immediately bowed and said:
"The words of the king will be engraved in the heart."
"We say goodbye today, and I don't know when we will see each other again, but I have a word..."
"Oh? Sir, please speak."
Marquis Lu raised his hand slightly, and then walked back to his throne with bare feet.
From the place where he greeted Li Ran just now to the place where he walked back to the throne, the distance was only three feet.
But just with this three-foot back figure, in Li Ran's eyes, Ah Chou has grown into a true monarch.
Upright and lonely.
Although no one knows what he will become in the future, at least now it seems that his noble appearance has been clearly revealed.
The majesty coming from the shop and the unfamiliarity in his words made Li Ran feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
Yes, it is this sense of oppression.
Because, he knew very clearly that it was he who personally pushed the original Young Master Chou to this position. It was also he who single-handedly created this situation today.
The former Gongzi Chou transformed into today's Luhou, and he, Li Ran, has a responsibility that he cannot shirk.
It's just that he doesn't know yet whether all of this is right or wrong? What consequences will it bring? This unknown thing makes him feel uneasy.
"Ji's disease is like scabies and is not a cause for concern. If a ruler wants to govern the country in peace and tranquility, he should act from the top down and set an example for all people. In addition, he should select talents and promote them. The most important thing is to avoid being familiar with each other.
If you can treat everyone equally, and do not avoid enemies when doing things externally, and do not avoid relatives when doing things internally, you will surely win the trust and trust of everyone."
This was the last advice Li Ran gave him.
He knew Marquis Lu's hatred for the Ji family, and also knew that a series of recent decrees by Marquis Lu were aimed at the Ji family.
It's okay for now, but over time, it will be Lu's own strength that will be damaged.
If you want to become a great monarch, hatred alone will not work. You also need to learn to tolerate others and judge others, and respect others, whether it is the Shusun family, the Meng family, or the Ji family. As a monarch, he should do
Only by treating everyone equally can you show your monarchy.
"I should remember this."
"Any more?"
The Marquis of Lu is sitting in the upper position, his eyebrows are like daggers, and every word is very sonorous.
When Li Ran saw this, he bowed and held his hand:
"There is nothing more, the common people will just quit."
He knew that his identity as the mentor of Marquis Lu had ended here. After leaving here, he would no longer be the mentor of Marquis Lu, but a pure white body, with no connection with the Lu Kingdom.
Because from this moment on, Marquis Lu would be a complete stranger to him.
