"This 'the one who caused the trouble dies' is just an inscription. Why is my lord so sure that they will not take any action?"
Li Ran picked up the bowl on the desk, divided it into six parts, and arranged them according to the positions of the six ministers of Jin.
"Ziyu, you see, now the Jin Kingdom is separated by the Taihang Mountains and is divided into east and west. They are in balance with each other, and the most critical Jiangcheng is in the hometown of western Shanxi. So, Ziyu thinks they will really lose their composure?
"
Guan Cong shook his head and said:
"Probably not, but... they may also take advantage of Zhao Yang's absence in Jiangcheng to provoke the Zhao family, making the Zhao family's people or retainers lose their temper and fight. By then, everything will be very difficult to say
.”
Li Ran said:
"Although Yang Hu is like a tiger pouncing on food when he moves, if he is still, he can still assess the situation and wait for opportunities! If not, how could he have been dormant in the Ji family for decades? Therefore, Yang Hu is now in Jiang
The city governs the entire Zhao family, and although it may be flamboyant, it will definitely not cause trouble."
Guan Congji said:
"Even if Yang Hu can keep his composure, but...where is Jinyang?"
When Li Ran heard this, he laughed again.
"As for Jinyang, there is no need to worry! Jinyang was built by Dong Anyu and is the foundation of the Zhao family. Dong Anyu cannot have no arrangements in Jinyang! Moreover, according to my judgment,
The Fan family and the Zhonghang family will most likely let the Handan Zhao family be the pawn of the Zhao family's enemy! As for themselves, they probably won't do it themselves!"
"As for Xun Shu, he is very deep in the city, and he will not take the initiative to stand up in this melee! Moreover, the Zhao family currently has the assistance of the Wei family and the Han family, so the Zhao family's situation in Jin seems to be
It seems that there are dangers everywhere, but actually all parties have their own plans, but there is such a delicate balance."
After watching and listening, he cupped his hands and said sincerely:
"My lord is thoughtful and considerate, and I've never been ashamed of myself!"
Later, Guan Cong mentioned the old things again by the way:
"Then...are you ready to leave the mountain, sir?"
Li Ran stroked his beard:
"Haha, why are you so anxious? The fish hasn't taken the bait yet, so you have to wait for a while!"
"What's more, Zhao Yang's letter still lacks some atmosphere, and it is too short-sighted!"
Guan Cong said thoughtfully:
"Then... go and talk to him later?"
Li Ran glanced at Guan Cong and said with a smile:
"Haha, Ziyu, you are more anxious than Zhao Yang?!"
Guan Cong replied sheepishly:
"I've always been a little anxious, but isn't this all for the sake of my lord?!"
Li Ran sneered and waved his hand:
"Go! But don't betray me completely. At least... don't speak directly to him!"
Guan Cong lowered his head and responded:
"No! Guan Cong understands!"
After Guan Cong received Li Ran's approval, he immediately went to see Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang was still sulking at this moment. When he learned that Guan Cong had arrived, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly walked out:
"Ah! But Mr. Ziming is back?!"
Seeing this, Guan Cong couldn't help but smile, and saluted Zhao Yang:
"Zao Chen of Taishi Prefecture has seen Zhao Zhongjun!"
Zhao Yang helped Guan Cong up and without saying a word, directly pulled him into the house:
"Your Excellency, there is no need to be so polite. I, Zhao Yang, came here incognito, and I am not in the Jin Kingdom! There is no need to be formal, there is no need to be formal!"
Guan Cong cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Haha, the head of the family has already read those two letters!"
When Zhao Yang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Oh? But I wonder when Yangma will be able to see Mr. Yang?"
Guan Congque said:
"I'm afraid this won't work for the time being! Although the gentleman has seen the letter, he is still not at home right now."
Zhao Yang frowned when he heard this, and Dong Anyu said:
"You must have contacted Mr. Ziming through other channels, but I don't know how he responded? Please convey it on your behalf."
Guan Cong said:
"What the gentleman said... is quite simple, just six words - no trace of uncle Zong's spirit!"
"No more of Zongbo's spirit?"
After Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help but murmur to himself.
Guan Cong couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Exactly! Since I have conveyed my words to you, then... I'll say goodbye!"
Zhao Yang stood up in a hurry and asked again:
"I wonder if I can see you sir tomorrow?"
Guan Cong smiled slightly, but replied very freely:
"This... I don't know..."
Then Guan Cong said goodbye and left.
Zhao Yang sent him to the door and watched him disappear from sight.
Then, he turned around again and said angrily:
"Luan Yu! Li Ziming has no intention of leaving the mountain at all! He just keeps pushing the envelope!"
Dong Anyu thought for a while, but he had a different view:
"I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case! If Mr. Ziming really doesn't want to go out, he can just use wandering as an excuse. Why bother to let Guan Cong come?"
"Moreover, since Li Ran was able to read the letter, and in such a short period of time...it means that Mr. Ziming is very likely to be in Chengzhou! Even if he is not there, he must be nearby!"
When Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, feeling that it made sense.
"But...why is he avoiding me?"
Dong Anyu held his chin with one hand and thought for a long time:
"Zongbo's weather..."
Suddenly, Dong Anyu seemed to have a sudden realization and spoke:
"My lord! What Mr. Ziming means by this is not that my lord does not have the air of a head of the family, but that he does not have the ambition to be the master of the world!"
Zhao Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this:
"What? I am only a minister of the Jin Kingdom. Even though I am a high minister, I am the master of the world... This is a matter for the prince, and what does it have to do with me, a minister?"
Dong Anyu further said:
"This intention... is not to make the Lord a prince, or to replace the Zhou Dynasty! It is to make the Lord dominate the world as a public minister! And in this way, he can help the world!"
"My lord, what I have done before is just limited to small things like revitalizing the Zhao family or saving the Zhao family from danger! But Mr. Ziming... his plans are very big!"
Zhao Yang replied:
"So, this is what Mr. Ziming said about Uncle Zong's weather?"
Dong Anyu further added:
"Mr. Ziming once assisted King Chu Ling, Wang Zichao and Duke Zhao of Lu. Although these people were kings, they all ended in failure!"
"But on the other hand, he was once a doctor of Zichan who followed the state of Zheng, and later cooperated with Kong Zhongni to take over the state of Lu! Although these people were not kings, they were all very successful! They just suffered from
The national power of Zheng and Lu is limited. Although they can stabilize one side for a while, they can never help the world!"
"So, now Mr. Ziming will either not come out of the mountain. If he comes out, he will definitely look for a wise master who can rectify the world! Although the Lord is not a prince now, he is also a minister of the Jin State. His situation is similar to that of Zheng State's Dr. Zichan.
Quite! So, my lord, why don’t you take a longer-term view?!"
Zhao Yang nodded slowly:
"Luan Yu's words are really enlightening! It turns out that Mr. Ziming actually has this meaning? In his eyes, our previous letters, which only talked about our sufferings with him, were too pretentious.
!”
Dong Anyu said:
"Well, that's exactly what happened! That's why Mr. Ziming said clearly that the lord 'has no uncle's spirit'! Obviously he also hopes that the lord can understand this truth!"
Zhao Yang was overjoyed:
"Then...what should we do next?"
Dong Anyu replied:
"Tonight, I will go to the Li Mansion again to see if I can meet Mr. Ziming! I will try my best to facilitate a meeting between the head of the family and Mr. Ziming!"
Zhao Yang responded:
"Then it will be a lot of work... By the way, do you need me to rewrite another letter?"
Dong Anyu nodded:
"Well, that's very good. Since Mr. Ziming asked the master of the family to be Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Huan of Qi! If the master becomes a big event, he must accept it!"
