Chapter 866 The true significance of Wu Yues victory

Hearing this, Confucius was about to speak again, but then he hesitated, sighed and nodded:

"Okay... Since this is my benefactor's family matter, we are all outsiders, and it is indeed inappropriate to help each other..."

When Li Ran heard this, he could only smile helplessly.

Immediately, Li Ran turned to ask:

"Zhongni, I wonder when you are planning to leave for Lu?"

When Confucius heard Li Ran's question, he couldn't help but sigh again:

"Your Majesty is very playful. He said that he finally managed to make a trip to the State of Lu, but he didn't want to leave easily. Alas... Although the State of Lu is now free of internal and external troubles, it has made everyone slack off."

Li Ran looked at Confucius and couldn't help but smile:

"Haha, Zhongni is already frustrated, isn't he?"

Confucius spread his hands, shook his head and said:

"Hey, I can't hide it from my benefactor... Qiu now does have some intention of retreating. He had mentioned it to his benefactor before, and Qiu planned to bring his disciples who are willing to follow Qiu, imitate his benefactor, and travel around the country. Looking for someone who can show off The world of your own talents!”

Li Ran knew that this would eventually be where Confucius belonged, so he said:

"Zhongni's talents are like the brightness of the bright moon. Although he is in darkness, he will eventually regain his sight! However, traveling around the country will inevitably require labor by boat and carriage, and the journey may be endless. Zhongni still needs to Take good care of yourself!"

Confucius cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Young Master Qiu is also cheap and can do a lot of despicable things. Therefore, his body is quite strong now. If he works hard for another ten years, he will be fine!"

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and then Confucius said goodbye and left. However, Marquis Lu stayed in Chengzhou for more than two months before returning home.

At this point, the Zhou Dynasty's imperial appointment meeting came to an end. This imperial appointment meeting was a glory that the Zhou royal family had not had for a long time.

King Zhou was very happy about this and became more and more dependent on Li Ran.

During this period, Shan Qi did not make any move. Instead, he seemed to be holding back and showed no signs of anger towards Li Ran.

Chengzhou gradually regained his composure.

On this day, Fan Li suddenly brought news from Qi State.

Only a few months after Prince Tu of Qi succeeded to the throne, Tian Qi and Bao Mu launched a coup. Gao Zhang died in the coup, and Guo Xia fled abroad.

The two major Qing clans in Qi were completely purged, and Prince Tu lost his support and was forced into exile, and then was secretly executed!

Young Master Yangsheng was promoted to the position of king of Qi by Tian Qi. Relying on the remaining power of the underworld, Tian Qi won a comprehensive victory in this political struggle.

When Li Ran learned the news, he couldn't help but sigh.

Fan Li asked:

"Sir, are you feeling sorry for Prince Tu's arrival?"

Li Ran said:

"Hey... We were all favored by Prince Tu in the past, and I really hope that he can make a difference in Qi State. However, the secret gang has been entrenched in Qi State for a long time, and Tian Qi has been inviting buyers in Qi State. People's hearts, Prince Tu is too young, it is inevitable that he will not fall into the trap set by him."

"Now, the Qi State has completely fallen under the control of the Tian family, and the Tian family is no longer invincible in the Qi State!"

Fan Li couldn't help but asked with some anxiety:

"Is there... no way to check Tian Qi?"

Li Ran sighed and said:

"Now...only by relying on Zhao Yang of Jin can we suppress Tian Qi!"

Fan Li said:

"Then can Zhao Yang take on such an important task?"

Li Ran thought for a while and said:

"Zhao Yang established his career by supporting the emperor, but Tian Qi relied on chaos and chaos! These two people have the same power, and there is no reason to be compatible."

"But as for who can win... I'm afraid it still depends on the battle between Wu and Yue!"

"If the state of Wu wins this battle, it will inevitably compete with the state of Jin for hegemony. In this case, Zhao Yang will have to deal with both the state of Wu and the state of Qi at the same time. I am afraid that he will be unable to do what he wants."

When Fan Li heard this, he suddenly realized:

"That's it!... So this is the reason why sir, when you are with Chang Qing, you want to use a plan to save yourself!"

Li Ran nodded quite calmly:

"Yes, the Yue Kingdom is bound to be defeated now. However, King Gou Jian of Yue is a kind and tolerant man. It will only take twenty years for it to rise again. By then, the Wu Kingdom will have no intention to aspire to the Central Plains, and the pressure from Zhao Yang will naturally be gone.

It can be relieved a lot.”

At this time, Li Ran looked towards the south again and was stunned for a while:

"Now, I only hope that Chang Qing can escape unharmed..."

Fan Li said with relief:

"Brother Changqing is very aware of the dangers and will be able to escape unscathed. But Wu Zixu... It is said that this man has a strong character and a sense of kindness. The country of Wu is kind to him. I am afraid... he will not leave Wu so easily.

Is it from China?!"

Li Ran looked at Fan Li approvingly, because he was indeed a good judge of people:

"Yes... the three generations of the Wu family, whether it's their grandfather Wu Ju or their father Wu She, are all strong-willed people. Because of this... I'm afraid the Wu family will rarely end well!"

"Perhaps the fate of the Wu family has been determined a long time ago!..."

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone calling from outside the house:

"Sir, General Zhao of Jin State wants to see you!"

It turned out that Zhao Yang also came here specifically to say goodbye to Li Ran.

Li Ran immediately went out to greet him, and immediately welcomed Zhao Yang into the hall.

After some pleasantries, Zhao Yang resigned.

When Li Ran saw this, he spoke to Zhao Yang sincerely:

"Generals now have great responsibilities. Whether the world is safe or not, or how long it will last, all depend on the generals!"

"I also hope that the general will not forget the words of the past, restrain himself and restore etiquette, so as to benefit the world!"

When Zhao Yang heard this, he also respectfully returned the courtesy to Li Ran:

"Martinado understands!"

Li Ran said again:

"General, please remember not to compete with Wu State for victory for a while. Although Wu State is prosperous, it will inevitably defeat itself in the future. General, you must still be careful about Qi State's field beggars and do not let this disrespectful trend spread!"

"There is also the Xun family. Although Xun Shu is dead now, after all, the Xun family is now sitting in the hometown of Bank of China, and they are only afraid of being troubled by the Zhao family. The hometown of Jinyang is the foundation of the Zhao family. The general must also be aware of this principle.

ah……"

Zhao Yang listened humbly and promised:

"Sir's kind words, Martingale dare not forget them!"

Finally, Zhao Yang saluted Li Ran again and said:

"If Yang Yang doesn't have a husband, it will never be possible! Mr. Yang's great kindness will never be forgotten by Yang Yang and the Zhao family! If there is an opportunity, I, the Zhao family, will repay the kindness of the husband! In addition, if the husband is free, he is always welcome to come to Jin.

!”

Li Ran also formally returned the gift to Zhao Yang.

"What the general said is wrong! Li Ran should be grateful to the general! But what he has wanted in his whole life has finally been realized by the general's side. What a blessing!..."

Zhao Yang was a little reluctant to leave, and Li Ran was also a little sad.

In the end, Zhao Yang took Jin Houwu and left Chengzhou. Zhao Yang rode on horseback and waved to Li Ran from a long distance.

Li Ran waved in response, until Zhao Yang disappeared from sight, then he sighed again.

There may be a sense of reluctance, but also a sense of relief...
