I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 269 Remonstrance the King of Chu
In the camp of the King of Chu, Li Ran sent Shen Wuyu to Yin of Zhongli County with a god-like operation, and at the same time let him directly take over the position of presiding over the construction of the new capital.

As the saying goes: Learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family.

This can be said to have fulfilled Shen Wuyu's dream.

After all, Shen Wuyu committed Yan Zhijian's remonstrance because of the move of the capital, and almost died in Qianxi.

Therefore, if he is asked to supervise the construction of the new city, then he will definitely handle it impartially and strive for excellence.

Of course, everyone present was shocked by Li Ran's operation, and even felt a little dissatisfied and hated.

After all, some of them originally pointed out that this opportunity to build a new capital could make a lot of money.But now that Li Ran has given Shen Wuyu, the iron cock, to the position of fortification host, doesn't that mean that they have directly cut off their source of income?
Can they not hate Li Ran to death in their hearts?
However, facing this kind of uncomfortable thoughts, they can only hide it in their hearts.After all, this kind of thing cannot be brought to the table.

After working in the suburbs, after the king of Chu returned to the camp with all the people, the king of Chu left Li Ran alone in the camp.

"Sir's actions today have really solved a big worry for the widow!"

"Come on, let's serve wine, I want to drink with my husband today!"

The habit of drinking to celebrate happy occasions has obviously become a habit, and it is a habit all over the world, and it will continue to exist thousands of years later.

Li Ran couldn't help being vulgar, and after drinking with the King of Chu for three rounds, he said:
"This big decision is all due to the wiseness of the king, and the merits of the minister are really not worth mentioning."

"However, there is still one more word. Although it is harsh, I still have to say more."

Although the king of Chu did accept his remonstrance today, it stands to reason that everyone is in harmony and shouldn't say some inappropriate words to dampen the interest, but he still couldn't express some words.

At this time, King Chu was also in high spirits, and immediately asked Li Ran:

"Eh? Sir, what are you talking about? It is the fortune of the widow and the country of Chu that you are willing to offer your advice and suggestions. How can such golden and jade words be regarded as talkative?"

"But please tell me everything you know, sir, I've always been happy when I've heard it."

Hearing the sound, Li Ran sat up straight, bowed to the King of Chu, and then said:

"Shen Wuyu is upright and upright, he doesn't understand twists and turns, he is a rare minister in the Chu Kingdom, he is a rare good minister."

"Your Majesty almost caused his tragic death because of a moment of anger. This is really inappropriate."

"The so-called loyal words are harsh to the ears. Shen Wuyu's remonstrance with death shows his loyalty, and his death without resentment shows his righteousness. Shouldn't the king use such a loyal and virtuous person?"

"So in the future, please ask your majesty to accept advice with an open mind and be lenient to others. This is an act of enlightenment."

Today, the king of Chu gave Li Ran enough face, from Li Ran's recommendation of Shen Wuyu as the county magistrate of Zhongli, to his recommendation of Shen Wuyu as the supervisor of the construction of the new capital.

The king of Chu responded to Li Ran's request without any prevarication.

Therefore, Li Ran can be regarded as a repayment of kindness, and persuaded the King of Chu with the most sincere words.

Hearing the sound, King Chu nodded again and again and said:

"Well, what you said is true. I almost killed a good person by mistake because of a moment of anger. It is really my fault. I will definitely correct it in the future!"

Just now Li Ran told him the story of King Wen of Chu accepting advice humbly and rectifying his mistakes. He naturally remembers it now.

At this time, Li Ran continued to say:
"Although Zhongli is broken now, the great cause of the Chu Kingdom has not yet been accomplished. If the King wants to restore the Chu Kingdom, it is obviously not enough to rely on the martial arts at this moment."

"So I still ask the king to keep in mind the words 'self-denial and return to propriety', and in the future, we should use the way of benevolence to ease the common people inside and the princes outside. Only in this way can we become the way of the king."

The final question still has to come back to the level of "restraining oneself and returning to the rituals".

Although the state of Chu looks powerful today, this kind of strength from the outside is just an embroidered pillow. Li Ran and the king of Chu themselves are very clear that under the extremely tough posture left by the state of Chu to the world, in fact, the whole country has long been It's the gold and jade that have lost their appearance.

Once a sudden accident occurs, the superficial strength of Chu State will collapse immediately, and no one will be able to turn the tide in the future.

But he, Li Ran, will leave here sooner or later.Therefore, everything that will happen here will be out of his control.

But then again, after all, he has been here for more than a year. Everything in Chu State, including the strength of Chu State, is also due to Li Ran.

Therefore, he is actually a little bit reluctant now, and he does not want to see his "masterpiece" collapse one day.

"Do you still think that my country of Chu should follow the old path of the Zhou royal family?"

Hearing the words "self-restraint and return to courtesy", King Chu's eyes were slightly startled, and then his brows were furrowed.

"Your Majesty, although rituals and music are broken, people's hearts are also eternal."

"Those who achieve great things, if they can't have the virtue of humility and respect, and don't have a heart of awe for everything in the world, they will definitely be eaten back by them in the future."

"The Zhou royal family has established the country for hundreds of years. How did the way of civil and military prosper, and how did the way of Li You abolish. Just the word 'li' has contributed a lot. So, please don't underestimate it, Your Majesty."

"If the way of the Chu State does not follow its etiquette, it will not be in line with the trend of the world. Its prosperity will be prosperous, but its death will be sudden. Since your king is planning for the Chu State for a hundred years, you should know how to choose."

The way of ritual and music of the Zhou Dynasty is the most distinctive and ancient feature in the entire Chinese land.

Throughout the dynasties, no monarch dared to say "no" to this matter.

All wise emperors must act with courtesy.As the saying goes, morality is the basis of Tao, and courtesy is the basis of harmony. This has always been regarded as the most important reason for the great prosperity of the state.

Of course, with the passage of time, although the connotation of Zhou Li itself has undergone some changes, it remains the same after all, but the core idea of ​​Zhou Li has always been consistent.

This is the most precious wealth left by the ancients to future generations.

However, the king of Chu at this time obviously did not agree with the importance of Zhou Li in this era, and even in later generations.

After all, he was born in such an era where rituals and music collapsed.What he saw were all kinds of evil results and ugliness brought about by the collapse of ritual and music.

As a big country next to the Zhou royal family, Chu State watched helplessly how the Zhou royal family gradually declined.

Therefore, it is obvious that the Zhou people's set of things is actually not so clever in the eyes of the Chu people.

But hearing Li Ran's words, he hesitated a little, because he believed that Li Ran would not deliberately deceive him in this matter.

"I am determined to restore the hegemony of our state of Chu. If Zhou Li is indeed in line with the way of our state of Chu, I will follow it."

This may have been the maximum promise the King of Chu could make.

He has always sneered at Zhou Li, and it is difficult for him to have a noble interpretation of Zhou Li.

Hearing this, Li Ran also knew that this was already the limit of what the King of Chu could do, so he nodded immediately and said no more.

What should be said, what should not be said, he has already said.

Where Chu State will go in the future, and in what way it will advance, is obviously beyond his control.

He did it with a clear conscience.

After coming out of the camp of the king of Chu, Li Ran looked at the setting sun in the sky, the stars were hidden in the last twilight of the setting sun, the mountain wind of Qianxi River finally blew on his face after twists and turns, and the fragrance of soil and vegetation made people refreshed for a while Refreshing.

Looking at the flowers blooming outside, Li Ran also felt emotional: This is indeed a beautiful season.
