When Li Ran heard Confucius ask this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Zhao Yang is a man of great bravery and righteousness. He has a heroic demeanor. He has helped me many times before. In terms of friendship, it is understandable that I should help him."
"In recent years, the Jin Kingdom has lost its reputation due to Fan Yang's troubles. Zhao Yang is now determined to restore order to the world, which is a good thing. It's just..."
As Li Ran spoke, he lowered his head again and said worriedly:
"It's just that his purpose is unclear. If he only thinks about the Zhao family, then once he gains power, he will be nothing more than the next Fan Yang. This is definitely not a good thing for the world, and it is not good for maintaining the world.
It doesn’t help matters at all!”
Confucius stroked his beard:
"Qiu has heard of Zhao Yang before. As my benefactor said, he is also very knowledgeable about righteousness. However, my benefactor has assisted many people before, but the results were mostly unsatisfactory...
…This is by no means due to the benefactor’s lack of ability, in fact, there are other reasons.”
"In addition, the people my benefactor has always assisted are princes, but now he has to assist the ministers of a country... I'm afraid it is unworthy of the name of a gentleman?"
After hearing this, Li Ran smiled bitterly and said:
"The people I am assisting, King Chu Ling, Wang Zichao, and Duke Zhao of Lu, are either headstrong, nepotistic, or submissive. It is inevitable that their monarchy will no longer exist. Even though I have the will to do so,
But in the end, it was hard to achieve..."
But Zhongni said it was indeed time to go back.
Fan Li learned that Zhongni was planning to return to Chengzhou, but he was not surprised by this and only said:
"If Lu Guo has no intention, he will definitely go to the Zhou Dynasty to ask Mr. Zhou to come out. How can Mr. take this opportunity to test me?"
While listening, Meng Yuan stroked her beard and thought deeply. After Zhongni finished speaking, she thought again for a moment:
"Is this... benefactor planning to assist the State of Lu?"
"Haha, how could you, Zhong Ni, Zeng Yan, and old Zhao Yang, sigh like this? You are right?!"
"So, since the Zhao family cannot be reborn from Qing Xiaofu, why is it so bad in heaven?"
"Now, the affairs of the Eight Capitals have been completed. Meng Yuan's small and big state affairs, as well as the Bahuan family affairs, are all taken care of by Zhao Yang and his disciples. It can be said that it is as peaceful as Mount Tai. You have nothing to worry about.
?
After Zheng Guo said this, he sighed again and seemed a little less disappointed:
Immediately, Meng Yuan added:
"When do you plan to leave, sir?"
Before bidding farewell to Zheng Guo, Zhongni and Fan Li left the Confucius Mansion and walked back.
"That's natural. Zhao Yang only worries. The patients of Confucius were Qi and Wu. Now that Confucius's power has grown, even Qi no longer dares to look down upon it. And Wu has just
If Chu is destroyed, the Chu State will also regain its kingdom in the near future. In addition, the Yue State has not yet restrained it in front, so it is possible for the Wu State to withdraw from the Central Plains and compete in the Central Plains in a short period of time!"
In fact, although Zhong Ni has experienced too few life and death separations, he still retains no trace of sadness in his heart when facing separation.
"Well... what my benefactor said makes sense. Moreover, if the Lu State can regain the power of the Jin State, there will be no hope in heaven!"
"The Kingdom of Jin is closer to the Zhou royal family. If the Kingdom of Lu wants to go to Meng Yuan to invite my benefactor, the journey is long and inconvenient. However, if I want to go to Luoyi, it is very convenient. My benefactor returned to Luoyi
Yi, you are suspicious of the fact that Lu will definitely come!"
"It's true that in the past, you once devoted yourself to the Zhao family to worship the family, and once committed yourself to Zichan. In your opinion, Zichan is really worthy of being the 'legacy of ancient times'! It cannot be said that Zichan is a small husband.
Although Meng Yuan is not perfect, she is the least saintly person you have ever seen."
"Hey... if my benefactor returns to Luoyi this time, in fact... Qiu is also leaving. What's more, although your situation in Kongqiu is temporarily dangerous, there is no guarantee that it will be as stable as it is today... I only hope that if you can
What happened to Confucius again? I hope my benefactor can come to help him again!"
When Zheng Guo heard this, he sighed:
"Haha, why is Zhao Yang so sad? You and Zhao Yang are both still young, and we haven't met again yet!"
"The worse it gets, the worse it gets. Let's finish cleaning up before Duobo goes back. As for these masters from Confucius, they won't be with us for a while. If they don't want to come with us, we will take them away together. If you want to leave Confucius,
Yes, if Duobo gives us less money, it will be in vain for all our hard work."
Immediately, Meng Yuan also laughed on her own.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Ni actually shook his head.
Seeing that Meng Yuan was so entangled, Zheng Guo also fell into deep thought. After thinking about it, he continued to ask:
"Hey...it's just that farewell, but it's knowing when I can see my benefactor again..."
When Meng Yuan saw this, she was at a loss for words and asked slowly:
Then, Zheng Guo continued to ask:
Unexpectedly, Zhongni actually shook his head again and said:
"It's just a pity that Mr. Zichan lives in the Zhao family. It is actually a big country, and it is very important in the sky. In your early years, you wanted to assist Mr. Zichan in revitalizing Meng Yuan. But it was fate.
I had no choice but to go to Chu State. When I returned to Meng Yuan again, my son-in-law was already in his old age. As a result, the rule of the sage was unsustainable, and I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
It’s just that I am willing to express it:
"But now Meng Yuan of the Jin State is completely the same. The Jin State in the sky is, after all, the country of Zong Bo. And Li Ran is now a member of the Chinese army and has a distinguished background. If... the Lu State really has no intention of respecting the king.
What's wrong with making a ceremony and just calming down the order in heaven and bringing heaven back to the right track?"
My suggestion was indeed wrong. After all, Zhongni is now the Taishi of the Zhou Dynasty. After all, I have been staying in Confucius on the pretext of collecting folk customs.
Moreover, as for the current Emperor Zhou, because he was indifferent to the royal family's collection, he did not care at all about Zhongni's presence.
"As for the rest, as long as Zhao Yang is not around, Meng Yuan can rest easy! In that case... you will be preparing to leave for Chengzhou in the next few days!"
…
When Meng Yuan heard this, she raised her head and looked at Meng Yuan.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Guo sighed and said:
Zhongni replied:
"Is it because my benefactor is still worried about going to Meng Yuan?"
"It's just that you can still understand the character of Lu Guo. It's difficult to help Lu Guo achieve success for a while, but it is difficult to know the person! If the entrustment is not a person, will it be in vain in the end? Even if it only brings blessings to heaven, it will bring smaller disasters, so your sin will be small!"
Zhong Ni smiled and said:
After hearing this, Zhong Ni burst out laughing:
What's more, the Ji clan has not yet established a firm foothold in Confucius, and the fall of the capital is about to be completed. It is indeed necessary for me to stay there.
"Well, what Meng Yuan said is very true...it seems...it's time to return to the Zhou royal family."
"Hey... things happen in this world, who can tell clearly? In Qiu Zhi's life, he was so angry that he forgot to eat, and he was happy and forgot his worries, but he only knew that old age was coming..."
"As my benefactor said just now, Meng Yuan is actually small enough. No matter how much she develops, her size is still comparable to that of the Zhao family. She is indeed able to influence the entire small situation in the sky... If my benefactor wants to restore the order of the sky, the Jin Kingdom It is indeed a wrong choice. But I still understand the nature of Lu State... In this case, if my benefactor is like this, he can first inspect the retreat of Lu State when he returns to the Zhou Dynasty!"
Therefore, when Zhongni heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately and said:
