I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 400 Brothers are in the wall
Chang Hong thinks that this idea is feasible, not only can it solve the immediate disaster of the Zhou royal family.Moreover, their brothers teamed up to suppress Shan Qi and directly suppress Shan's idea of ​​taking Zhou.

However, it is obvious that Shan Qi will not agree to this approach, and Xun Li and others will strongly oppose it.

Therefore, it is certain that people like them will interfere.

Chang Hong knew very well that in order to avoid being obstructed by him, this matter must be carried out secretly first.

So Chang Hong went to Beijing alone in the middle of the night.He deliberately avoided the defenders of the camp. When he approached the city, he took off his coat and wore a white robe, which was very conspicuous. He was spotted by the guards of the capital from a distance, and immediately shouted:
"Stop! Who is coming?!"

Chang Hong said loudly:
"I am Chang Hong, the Tai Shi of the Zhou family, who is specially ordered by the king to come to seek peace!"

Hearing this, the guard didn't believe it. He immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow, and the arrow landed firmly in front of Chang Hong's feet.

However, Chang Hong was not afraid and continued to walk forward.

Seeing this, the guard didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly sent someone to call Sun Wu.When Sun Wu came to the city tower, Chang Hong had already reached the city gate and was looking up.

Sun Wu saw that he was indeed alone, and there were no traces of other people behind him.After some thought, he didn't dare to open the city gate rashly. After all, city defense is the top priority now.Although no one was seen, but in this dark night, he had to be more cautious.

Therefore, Sun Wu had no choice but to ask someone to put down the hanging basket and hang Chang Hongshi up.

After Chang Hong went up to the city wall, Sun Wu couldn't help but sized him up and down:
"The old man came here late at night, I don't know why?"

Chang Hong clasped his hands and said:
"Changhong, the Taishi next week, wants to see Li Ran and Li Ziming, and I hope the general can make a report on his behalf."

Sun Wu was quite suspicious about this, and he was watched over, but he personally went to Li Ran's residence to report the matter.

Sun Wu first entered the room and woke up Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi was also sleeping drowsily at the moment, but he seemed a little impatient.

However, when he heard Sun Wu say the name "Chang Hong", he immediately woke up:
"Chang Hong?"

Owl Wing's reaction also made Sun Wu feel a little strange.

"Oh? You also know this person?"

Xiao Yi didn't have time to explain to Sun Wu, while talking, he immediately took the clothes and rushed out:
"I... I'm going to call the Lord up now!"

Owl Wing went straight into the inner room, and after a while, Li Ran came out in a hurry.He didn't even fasten his clothes, and urged Sun Wu to take him to see this person quickly.

When Li Ran saw Chang Hong on the city wall, he suddenly knelt down on the ground:
"Respect the master, and see you here!"

It turned out that Chang Hong was Li Ran's mentor.Li Ran's early learning of etiquette was taught by this person.And this level of relationship did not decrease until Li Ran became the history of Luoyi's collection room.

But Li Ran has always respected his teacher, never dared to forget, and worshiped him many times every year in the Zhou family.

Chang Hong stood up straight and received Li Ran's bow.

"Get up. Back then, you ran away from Wang Ji, and my teacher was heartbroken when he found out about it. I only regret that it was too late, and there was nothing I could do about it. Seeing that you are safe and sound today, and gaining a reputation in the world, I am also a teacher. Rejoice."

Li Ran stood up and supported Chang Hong's arm with both hands.

"I haven't seen you for many years. The respected teacher has grown brilliant, and the disciple has not served around for many years. It is really wrong!"

Chang Hong let out a long sigh:
"However, since you are not tolerated by Wang Ji, how can you serve as a teacher? After all, you can't be blamed for this matter. But now, as a teacher, I have something important to discuss with you, can you find a remote place to have a good chat!"

Li Ran immediately returned to the residence with Chang Hong. Owl Yi had already made arrangements at this time and was welcoming him at the gate. Chang Hong couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Ou Yi:
"Owl Wing? You are still following Ziming?"

Seeing that Chang Hong still remembered himself, Xiao Yi burst into tears:

"Xiaoyi has met the old man... Since Xiaoyi regards him as the master, he should accompany him in life and death..."

"Loyalty is commendable, this is a blessing!"

Li Ran and Chang Hong entered the inner room, Li Ran asked Chang Hong to take a seat, but Chang Hong was not polite in front of Li Ran, after the two sat down, Chang Hong said:

"However, as a teacher, I often ask people to inquire about what I have done these years, and I am quite concerned about it. I will not mention the things before. Now I am determined to assist the prince's dynasty, but the Zhou family has established a new king, so Speaking of which, between you and my master and apprentice, you have become an enemy..."

"Respecting the teacher's words makes the disciple ashamed. The prince's court is indeed suspected of causing chaos, but the new king is afraid that he will also be held hostage by the single flag, so he has little autonomy, right? So the disciple has no choice but to do this in order to help the Zhou family."

After Chang Hong heard this, he didn't seem angry:

"Of course, this is the reason why the teacher spared his life to visit the capital at night. Have you ever thought about one thing? Regardless of the current predicament of Wang Zichao, if he really succeeds, who will be the King of Zhou by then? Or is he going to kill his younger brother to usurp the throne? Or is it like King Ping moved to the east in the past, and then there will be two kings side by side? However, the Zhou family is already weak now, and if the two kings stand side by side again, it will only disperse the power of the Zhou royal family. Power, I'm afraid the world will be even more chaotic!"

(Here is an explanation: when King Ping moved to the east, the royal family of Zhou was actually in a situation where two kings stood side by side. In addition to King Zhou Ping, there was actually a king Xie Zhou. At that time, it was very likely that King Xie Zhou was the recognized orthodox , and King Ping may be the one who is away.)
"Maybe we can follow the example of Yao and Shun and practice abdication?..."

Chang Hong just smiled, and directly interrupted Li Ran:

"Of course, even if this is a good deed, it may be very difficult to achieve! However, we can see that the new king is bound by the single flag, but at least in name he is the son of heaven. Wouldn't it be difficult to let him sit in Zen? Arouse the resentment of the people of the world? And thinking about the prince’s dynasty, I’m afraid it’s hard to tolerate such a hidden danger in the world. The Zen position of Yao and Shun is a good tradition in ancient times, but it’s long gone!”

Seeing Chang Hong's relaxed attitude, Li Ran couldn't help asking:

"Then I don't know what good strategy Master has?"

"Today's battle resulted in too many casualties on both sides. If things go on like this, the Zhou family will be the ones who will be damaged, and the common people will be the ones who will suffer. Therefore, as a teacher, maybe let the two of them meet for a while, and let go of the swordsman first." , and discuss state affairs together.”

"In the past, the king was innocent, and after he was slaughtered, Zhougong and Zhaogong first established a republic system, and jointly promoted Gongbohe as the acting emperor. The princess of Zhou was outside, and the princess Zhao was inside. When King Xuan came of age, Zhou and Zhao jointly returned to the king of Xuan! This makes for a great story.”

"Why don't you follow this method now? Let the emperor and the princes jointly take charge of the government and perform their own duties. However, maybe you don't hear the principle of 'brothers fight against the wall and defend against their insults from outside.'? If the two of them can watch and help each other, In order to support it, how can there be danger of Shan's regency in the future?"

(Brothers quarrel...the insult: from "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Tangdi", which means that brothers may fight at home, but they can always help each other when they encounter foreign insults.)
After hearing what Chang Hong said, Li Ran was immediately enlightened.

"Respecting the teacher, this method is wonderful!"

Such a solution is indeed the best, Li Ran immediately brought Chang Hong to meet Wang Zichao.After listening to Chang Hong's words, Wang Zichao also fell into deep thought.

At this time, Chang Hong went a step further and said:

"Your Highness, this move will not only bring peace to the Zhou family, but also allow the royal family to get what they want, and it will also allow the royal family to get rid of the control of the Zhou family by Shan and Liu! The revival of the Zhou family is just around the corner! If the two Kings stand side by side, no matter who wins or loses, I'm afraid both sides will suffer!"

The prince sighed.

"Even if this palace wants to do this, is it true that my brother is also willing?"

"Now the son is threatened by Shan Qi, he is displaced and cannot help himself. He is also thinking day and night to change the current situation, why is he not willing?"

"It's just...Shan Qi and the others are afraid that they will interfere with it, and it will be difficult to accomplish anything!"

Chang Hong smiled lightly:
"Since the Son of Heaven is the co-lord of the world, if he does not insist on peace talks with His Highness, no one will be able to stop him! I will also strive to fight this matter from the sidelines, just for the peace of the world!"

The prince hesitated.

"Since this is the case, there will be Lao Taishi to mediate. My palace is willing to negotiate peace with the younger brother!"
