I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 229: Chu Has Three Dangers
Facing the rogue-like attitude of the King of Chu, Li Ran became impatient.

Not to mention the stabbing in the back, it was the first time Li Ran had seen such a righteous person.

This reminded him of the famous saying that Zhuge Kongming scolded Wang Situ:
"Never seen such a brazen person!"

But these words can only dangle back and forth in the stomach, and it must not be said on the mouth.

"Your Majesty's move is really inappropriate! Although His Majesty's move is to express his appreciation for his talents, it may also mean coercion! If Your Majesty treats the world's sages in such a way, who would dare to come to Chu to serve His Majesty?" ?”

"I was born in Luoyi, and I have had a deep bond with the country with the Ji surname in the Central Plains since I came. Your Majesty's willingness to make a minister like this means that I will never be in the country with the surname Ji. So what will the reputation of the minister be in this life?"

"So, Your Majesty is not helping your ministers, but harming them!"

"In the future, if everyone in the world knows that they have come to help the king, they will end up ruined and ruined. At that time, who will dare to come?"

Li Ran explained the words directly, with an ugly look on his face.

This king of Chu, Xiongwei, tried everything possible to trap him in Chu, and everyone knew about Sima Zhao's heart.

At this time, if you talk to him in a roundabout way, it is obviously meaningless.

Why don't you just clarify the words directly, what's the big deal if you pissed him off?

But who would have thought that the King of Chu not only was not offended when he heard the sound, but instead accepted Li Ran's whole package of scolding as it was ordered!
I saw that he patted his forehead lightly, and immediately pretended to be surprised and said:

"Oh my god, why didn't you think of this place? Sir, you are right and reasonable. This move of the widow really seems to be a little too anxious."

"However, I also hope that my husband will be more considerate of me. After all, I have just ascended the throne, and I need a great service to stabilize the hearts of the people in the country. My husband can make such a great achievement for me. How can I not publicize it? reason?"

"Please rest assured, sir, if this happens again in the future, I will definitely think twice!"

That's right, not only did he accept Li Ran's accusations, but he also clearly expressed his opinion to you, Li Ran, just for this one time.

next time?

Can there be a next time? !

"I believe you a ghost!"

Hearing this, Li Ran became angry on the spot, and almost blurted out a sloppy modern dialect.

What an idiot, the majestic king of a country is full of dirty tricks everywhere?It's clear that he wants to kill me, Li Ran?
Okay, even this can't break your thick skin, so I'll say something fierce, don't you believe I won't be able to offend you?
Facing Chu Wang Xiongwei's impenetrable "skin", Li Ran knew that if he didn't poke his pain point now, he might just treat him like a hellokitty in the future. (a kind of pet cat)

So, Li Ran stepped forward, then bowed again, and continued to speak:
"Hey, I'm alone, but it doesn't matter. However, what I have done today may be the disaster of Chu State in the future! Does Your Majesty know that the current situation of Chu State is in jeopardy?"

Li Ran thought about it, and his face turned cold for a moment.

The King of Chu couldn't help being startled when he heard the sound, and looked at him with a frown and asked:

"Oh? What do you mean by that, sir?"

Although he didn't understand what Li Ran meant when he said this, he could really feel that Li Ran had something to say.

Afterwards, Li Ran continued to speak:
"The danger of Chu State is not in Wu State, nor in the north, but within the Xiao Wall!"

"The minister told Dr. Wu Ju earlier that the king has not long since ascended the throne, and the construction of Zhanghua Terrace was already considered a waste of money. Now there are feasts and feasts every day, and drinking every night for pleasure. Just ask the people of Chu, what will they do? What do you think? Serving the people too much is one of the great taboos of governing the country."

"Secondly, there have been rumors about how the king came to be the king of Chu. Now the king is in the heyday of spring and autumn, so he is safe. However, time flies, and one day the king is old and weak, or he will Not being able to serve as a deacon, the authority of the Chu State, has the king thought about it carefully?...Some things, the king can do, and then people will naturally do the same."

"At that time, the political power will be chaotic, the country will not be a country, and Chu's century-old foundation may be hanging by a thread!"

"Thirdly, now that the state of Chu has forced the king of Wu, Zhu Fan, to death, the state of Wu and the state of Chu are in the same situation, and they will never die. Although the king can succeed at this moment, but in the future, when the state of Chu is in trouble, Wu The country will definitely take advantage of the chaos and enter."

"With these three dangers, your majesty doesn't know how to tremble and tremble, like walking on thin ice. But you still take it for granted, it can be called ignorance!"

After Li Ran finished speaking, he bowed to the King of Chu with a cold expression on his face.

He had indeed said these words to Wu Ju.However, he didn't know whether Wu Ju had told Chu Wang Xiongwei these truths.

"Sir, what I said is probably a little alarmist?"

The King of Chu stood up with a flick of his sleeves, his disapproving expression suddenly became a little indifferent.

Of course he had heard these words from Wu Ju, after all, he asked Wu Ju to report everything about Li Ran in detail.

It's just that he didn't expect that Li Ran would take this opportunity to bring up the old matter again today.

In fact, he can still listen to other advice.

Only about how to "usurp the throne", he certainly didn't want to hear anyone's discussion, even if it was Wu Ju, even Li Ran, that would not work.

"Your Majesty still needs to keep in mind 'restrain yourself and return to courtesy'. What Li Ran said today is absolutely alarmist. But that's all I said, please think again, Your Majesty."

Obviously, we have already talked about this point, and there is no need to continue talking.

The chaotic issue of regime change in the Chu State is a long-standing problem. Beginning with the Communist King of Chu, this issue will continue to plague the Chu State for hundreds of years until the Chu State perishes.

Although the current king of Chu has great ambitions, if he can't solve this stubborn disease of the Chu country, then the Chu country, let alone the nine vassals, will rule the world. I'm afraid it's just a fantasy.

What's more, Li Ran still vaguely remembered that the fall of Chu State in the future was due to the rise of the powerful class, which seriously hindered the authority of the monarch.

The reason why the authority of the monarch of Chu State will be weakened rapidly is because there will always be problems in the succession of the highest power. This is the biggest chronic disease of Chu State now and in the future.

Therefore, in the end, the centralized power that Chu State is most proud of today will eventually exist in name only.

However, Li Ran would not tell King Chu all these words in one go.

After all, even if he said these things now, King Chu Xiongwei probably wouldn't believe them.

As for the suggestions of "restraining oneself and returning to the rituals" he said, whether the king of Chu can listen to it.Or whether he can do a little superficial work as he said, that's not Li Ran's business.

But at this time, seeing Li Ran's expression of having nothing to do with himself, King Chu's face became extremely gloomy for a moment.

He naturally understood everything Li Ran said, and knew that what Li Ran said was indeed true.As the king of Chu, he certainly knows the chronic diseases of his country, not to mention that he himself is a regicide and usurper.

However, when these words came out of Li Ran's mouth, it was still difficult for him to accept.

After all, for a king, getting an improper position is his fatal injury.Just like Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty in later generations, he brutally murdered his father and put his father under house arrest. This is a past that he never wanted to mention again in his life.

Chu Wang Xiongwei's mood at the moment should be similar to Li Shimin's, so the discussion on this issue has naturally become his forbidden zone.

Just when King Chu's face became serious and the scene was once embarrassing, the guards outside the palace suddenly came in to report, saying that the prince had abandoned his illness and asked to see him.

When the King of Chu heard the sound, his complexion changed again, and he couldn't help shouting with great joy:
"Haha, good! The savior is here, the savior is here!"
