Liu Di glanced at Shan Qi, but they both smiled knowingly. Liu Di continued:
"Having said that, it's just... that Dr. Chang was unjustly wronged because he was scolded by Zhao Yang, the powerful minister of Jin State, for no reason. And when Zhao Yang put down the rebellion in the princely dynasty in the past, he had another influence on my Zhou family.
Very big..."
"So, if it's convenient for Doctor Chang, I'd better write a letter to him as much as possible, so as to ease the relationship between my Zhou family and Zhao Yang!"
Chang Hong nodded slightly and replied:
"Well, you two adults can rest assured that Chang Hong will take care of this matter... May I ask, what is this second thing?"
At this time, Liu Di cleared his throat, but he kept it difficult:
"The second thing...hey...the Fan Zhongxing rebellion in the Jin Kingdom has been temporarily subdued. But now, the Jin Kingdom has to start tracing who is the culprit! And recently, from the Jin Kingdom,
A letter of credence mentions that the disciple Li Ziming is the culprit of this civil strife, and he deserves to be punished!"
"The Marquis of Jin has handed over this matter to the Emperor. The Emperor's intention is that Lord Chang is Li Ziming's master, so he wants to leave this matter to Lord Chang. Since Lord Chang does not approve of what Zhao has done,
Because, then you shouldn’t be able to protect Li Ran for personal gain, right?”
When Chang Hong heard this, he was struck like five thunders!
He had known that the two of them would be up to no good, but even so, he did not expect that the two of them were actually waiting for him in this matter!
"Zi Ming... is the Taishi of my Zhou Dynasty, and I am just a retired person, so what qualifications do I have to judge him? You two adults... are joking!"
Shan Qi smiled slightly again and said:
"Shan also knows this, which is quite embarrassing for Doctor Chang, but...this Li Ziming is Doctor Chang's beloved disciple after all, and we don't dare to overstep his bounds. Now the king also means the same thing. Since it is what the emperor wants,
If it is your life, then please don’t refuse, Doctor Chang!”
At this time, Chang Hong obviously had the intention of protecting his shortcomings, and immediately said:
"Although I am dissatisfied with what Zhao has done, I should not assume that Ziming is guilty and deserves to be punished!"
Dan Qi smiled again:
"This matter... Doctor Chang, it is better not to draw a conclusion prematurely. The Emperor will not ignore this matter. Besides, Jin State, even Qi, Wei, Zheng and other countries will give us a detailed explanation when the time comes.
The Zhou Dynasty is putting pressure on me! If Dr. Chang cannot deal with it impartially, I’m afraid it will make people all over the world dissatisfied with my Zhou Dynasty!”
Shan Qi and Liu Di piled up their words and left immediately. Chang Hong was left sitting there in a daze for a while, thinking hard about how to deal with it.
When Guan Cong saw that the two of them had left, he hurriedly came out of the back hall. Guan Cong also heard the conversation between them clearly:
"Mr. Chang, this matter... I'm afraid Shan Qi and Liu Di are trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
Chang Hong nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Hey...how could I not know this? They are trying to put a knife in my heart! But...if I don't punish Li Ran, it will be really hard for the king to explain it to me! But if I want to do it...
I will never agree to punish Li Ran with my own hands!"
Guan Cong also felt that this matter was quite difficult to handle, so he couldn't help but asked softly:
"Then...how will the old gentleman do it?"
Chang Hong thought for a while, but finally shook his head:
"It's not known yet... I don't know what to do..."
As soon as Gu Cong rolled his eyes, something else came to his mind:
"Why don't you, old gentleman, run away to the Kingdom of Jin to reunite with your lord? Guan Cong is willing to escort the old gentleman!"
Unexpectedly, when Chang Hong heard this, he slowly shook his head:
"I'm already old, what's the use of running away? What's more, I've been loyal to the emperor all my life. Do I still have the reputation of being a disobedient now that I'm old?"
Guan Cong sighed and then admonished:
"In this case, why don't you, old gentleman, change your route to Qin? Qin is the territory of the old pavilion master, and the old gentleman may live comfortably there! As for Chengzhou, there are ways to deal with it. If the old gentleman can
It would be a blessing to just retire and not care about worldly affairs!"
Chang Hong shook his head again, and said disheartenedly:
"Hey... no need. I have been living for decades, and now I have lived long enough."
"I'm not leaving!"
Guan Cong saw that Chang Hong seemed to have an idea in a moment, so he couldn't help but ask again:
"Then...does the old gentleman have any countermeasures?"
Chang Hong said calmly:
"Ziyu... you should go back first!"
Guan Cong frowned, feeling something was wrong, and asked again hurriedly:
"If the old gentleman has an idea, he might as well discuss it with me. How can I let the old gentleman take on such a big thing alone?... Before my lord left, he asked me to take good care of the old gentleman. Now that we have this
How can we just sit idly by and ignore things that are difficult?"
When Chang Hong heard this, he suddenly stroked his beard and laughed:
"Haha, Ziyu! Did you know that my unscrupulous disciple Li Ran is really outstanding!"
Guan Cong was a little confused when he heard Chang Hong's laughing words, and couldn't help but said anxiously:
"Old sir..."
Chang Hong stretched out a hand and waved it gently, telling Guan Cong not to worry.
"There is no need to worry, Ziyu. What I said is from the bottom of my heart. What happened to me today seems to be caused by him, but in fact it is not the case. Now it seems that it is me... who has implicated him!"
"These days, I have been thinking hard, and gradually understood the great meaning of Zi Ming! However, I can only say that I cannot agree with the right and wrong of this. In the future, if you have the opportunity to meet Zi Ming
, I also asked Ziyu to convey that I understand now, but I really can’t help him!"
Guan Cong said:
"There's no rush, old gentleman, I'd like to ask you to meet the head of the family in person and talk about it later!"
Chang Hong sighed and said with a smile:
"Haha, will my master and apprentice really have a chance to see each other again in this life?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Guan Cong felt a little uneasy in his heart:
"Old sir..."
Chang Hong waved his hand:
"Ziyu, you don't need to say any more, just stand down now! I already have a countermeasure in mind, but...this method doesn't require anyone's help!"
Guan Congzi guessed something from it, but he didn't dare to contradict him.
Of course, Chang Hong also knew what Guan Cong was worried about, and said:
"Don't worry! I will handle this matter properly!"
Guan Cong knew that Chang Hong was quite stubborn, and once he decided on something, it would be difficult to change it, so he had no choice but to say:
"What else does the old gentleman have to say? Guan Cong will definitely comply with it!"
Chang Hong coughed violently at first. Seeing this, Guan Cong hurried forward to help him calm down.
Chang Hong then coughed for a while, then stopped, and spoke to Guan Cong:
"Ziyu's kindness... I appreciate it. But as I said just now, it's fine for me to handle this matter by myself. If others come, it won't work!"
At this moment, Guan Cong didn't know what to say, so he could only retreat and say:
"In that case...then I'll take my leave for now!"
Chang Hong closed his eyes and said calmly:
"Go, and no matter what happens, Ziyu doesn't have to panic. Ziyu stays in Chengzhou and just protects your lord's family! Remember!"
Guan Cong knelt down and worshiped:
"I will always keep the words of the old man in my heart, and please take care of me, sir!"
Chang Hong murmured:
"Well, take care, everyone, please take care!"
After Guan Cong retreated, Chang Hong came to the study alone.
He studied the ink himself and sighed:
"Ziming, you have worshiped me as your teacher since you were a child, and my teacher has not done anything for you. Today, I will do it for you! I hope you can bring justice to the world in the future! Don't let me down!"
After Chang Hong thought about it, he immediately started writing.
