I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Unexpectedly, Guang'er actually giggled, and then responded:
"Arrange troops!"

Li Ran looked down and saw that the mud carts and tile dogs on the ground were really neatly arranged there.

Fan Li has been with Sun Wu for a long time, and he has learned some formations for marching and fighting, which can be used to amuse children at this time.

Li Ran could not help but smile and replied:

"Hehe, this matter of military strategists is really a game of good luck. But, young uncle, isn't it a bit out of the ordinary for you to teach the girl's family?"

Fan Li couldn't help but turn red when he heard it:
"Mr. Hui, this is just a child's play, it can't be done, it can't be done..."

At this time, Ji Le stepped forward, hugged Guang'er, and asked softly:
"Guang'er, do you think these are fun?"

Guang'er said:

"Good... fun!"

Ji Le leaned in, kissed his daughter lightly on the face, thought for a while, and said to Fan Li hesitantly:

"Uncle Shao, my husband and I are going to the country of Lu together, and we may need to leave for a while. Guang'er is young and in poor health. The journey is far away and the future is uncertain, so it is not appropriate to take her with you. Therefore, we still Please stay in Zhengyi and help us discipline her!"

Fan Li couldn't help being startled, and looked at Li Ran.

Li Ran also nodded slightly, indicating that he also meant the same thing.

Seeing this, Fan Li immediately bowed his hands and said:

"No! Li must take good care of Guang'er, and I dare not make any mistakes!"

"Uncle Shao, we are relieved to entrust Guang'er to you. In addition, I asked Xiaoyi to invite some reliable old women. Once Guang'er is ready to live, they will do the work for him. On weekdays, Shaobo It just takes a second look.”

"As for Guang'er's ability to read and write, and to be sensible and righteous, Shaobo needs to put in more effort."

While talking, Ji Le took Guang'er from Li Ran's hand, looked at her daughter carefully, tears were about to fall.Guang'er sensiblely stretched out her little hand, wiping away her mother's tears.

"Mother, are you going on a long journey?"

"Well, mother is going to see your uncle. He is in trouble now, so mother must go! But the journey is far away, so it's inconvenient to take you with you. You mustn't..."

Ji Le thought that Guang'er would make trouble, but she didn't want Guang'er to just tilt her head.

"Mother is talking about Uncle Ah Chou, right? I have heard my mother mention it all the time, and my mother must miss Uncle very much, right? Mother, go and come back quickly, and it is best to bring my uncle back together. Anyway, he is doing well there. If things don't go well, let's go back to Zhengyi together, so that mother doesn't have to worry about him all the time? Uncle can also play with Guang'er?"

Hearing Guang'er say this made Li Ran and Ji Le even more sad.

Before the festival, he often talked about Ah Chou, and often recalled the time when he used to play with that "stupid" Ah Chou at Shusunbao's mansion.Therefore, Guang'er also naturally knew that she had an uncle named "A Chou".

However, how did the little child know that his uncle is actually the majestic King of the Lu Kingdom!

Even if it doesn't go well, how can there be any reason to come and go when you say it?
Li Ran and Ji Le went out for a walk with Guang'er in their arms. This is Gong Jian's other courtyard, and the environment is good.There is a pond dug in the backyard, and some lotus flowers are planted, and it is the season of blooming at this moment.

The lotus in the pond is in full bloom, and the green lotus leaves are connected together like a carpet. When the breeze blows, a burst of fragrance comes, and the lotus leaves sway gently.

On a whim, Li Ran went to pick lotus by the pond, Ji Le said with concern:
"careful!"

Li Ran bent down and picked a lotus flower with some difficulty. Guang'er liked it very much, and stretched out his small hand to hold it tightly in his palm.

"Father, mother, look."

Guang'er held it in front of his chest, hiding his delicate face behind the lotus, and asked very playfully.

"Hehe, it's very beautiful. Guang'er and this lotus complement each other!"

Li Ran's words were not meant to coax the children. His bright and clear skin and delicate facial features all followed the festival music.At this moment, the gorgeous lotus is printed again, this scene is really beautiful.

A family of three had fun in the pond, enjoying the rare comfort and peace.The husband sings and the wife follows, family happiness, Li Ran couldn't help thinking of his father's words again for a while.

Wouldn't it be great if he could just stay with Ji Le and Guang'er without asking about world affairs?

However, this kind of time is short-lived after all, Li Ran can ignore everything, but Lu Houchou's affairs cannot be ignored.

In Ji Le's heart, Lu Hou Chou is her only blood relative.

Therefore, since it was something Ji Le insisted on doing, Li Ran would do it even if it was extremely difficult.

……

Li Ran directly handed over the post of Taishi to Guan Cong temporarily.It just so happens that the classics he brought from Chu State also need to be collected and summarized by him himself.

Without further ado, Guan Cong accepted the job directly, and said:
"Young master, since the young lady hates Ji Sun Yiru so much, and what happens in the Lu country is also instigated by Ji Sun Yiru, why don't you just do a round and kill Ji Sun Yiru! Guan Cong is willing to go to the Lu country to act for the young master!"

Li Ran couldn't help but move in his heart:
"Oh? Ziyu, what do you think?"

"I think that although the Ji family covered the sky with one hand in the state of Lu, according to Guan Cong's understanding, its interior is not monolithic, and there are too many retainers who secretly resisted the Ji family. The previous Feiyi Yi Nan Kuai It is a clear proof! Even Kong Zhongni can be regarded as a traitor of the Ji family. What's more, the Meng family and the Shusun family were actually coerced by the Ji family, so they chose to oppose Lu on the spur of the moment. Hou's!"

"Under high pressure, chaos will inevitably arise. Guan Cong can directly disintegrate Ji's family from the inside! In any case, forcing the monarch to leave the country, I don't know how many people see him as not going well. Therefore, Guan Cong is willing to go Give it a try!"

Li Ran lowered his head and thought for a long time before raising his head.

"Not yet. The Ji family has been in control of the state of Lu for a long time. Even though there are many people who oppose the Ji family, after all, there are many disciples under his rule. These people all rely on the Ji family for their lives. And the stakes It can be said that the roots are intertwined, even if someone opposes him, in essence, most of them have to be attached to the Ji family!"

"If Ji Sun Yiru is killed rashly, these people will probably lose control. Not only will the Marquis of Lu not be able to return to the State of Lu, but also domestic disputes in the State of Lu will be inevitable. These methods seem to be convenient, but they are not. The so-called "public anger is hard to offend, desire is hard to achieve", once the public anger accumulates, it may be difficult for Lu to restore peace in the future. Now we should try our best to use the right way, so that after Lu Hou returns to the country, he can change his mind. A relatively peaceful state of Lu!"

From what I heard, I had to say:
"The young master is thoughtful and considerate, which is indeed unmatched by Guan Cong. In this case, I wish the young master to go to Yunyi and help Lu Hou return to the country as soon as possible! If there is any situation, please inform Guan Cong in time, Although Guan Cong only knows some shady side ways, but sometimes, maybe side ways can be more effective. As the so-called serious illness uses strong medicine, when it really comes to a critical moment, I don’t care about so much!"

"Well, Li Ran appreciates Ziyu's kindness. However, he is not a pedantic person. I understand what Ziyu said!"

In fact, Li Ran didn't have enough confidence for this trip.

Before leaving, Ji Le repeatedly told Fan Li that when he returned to Zhengyi, he must take good care of Guang'er and send news from time to time. "

Fan Li said:

"Please rest assured, sir and madam, I will definitely take good care of the young master! I will never let Guang'er suffer any harm!"

Li Ran and Ji Le reluctantly bid farewell to Guang'er.The four-year-old Guang'er is already quite clever and understanding. Although he is also reluctant to part with his parents, he doesn't show much reluctance.

At least, on the surface it is.

"Father and mother came back earlier, but they must bring Uncle Ah Chou with them!"

Ji Le burst into tears on the spot, and with Li Ran's support, he got into the carriage.

But after the carriage drifted away, Guang'er finally couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help crying loudly.

Seeing this, Fan Li had no choice but to hug her up and coax her from time to time...

Chapter 501
Li Ran knew that going to Yunyi to meet Lu Houchou this time was definitely not as simple as meeting him last time.

He must have tried every means to send Lu Houchou back to the country, and even solved Jisun Yiru in this way to be considered a success.

Therefore, he brought Sun Wu, Chu Dang and others, as well as [-] private soldiers who had been trained in the sacrificial mansion before.

Confucius and his disciple Zhong You were also among them, as well as Yi He, who actually took care of Ji Le's body.

A group of people headed towards Yunyi, traveled until dark, and came to an official post to rest.

Li Ran talked with Ji Le for a while, Ji Le had never been separated from Guang'er, and he missed him very much at this moment.

Li Ran comforted him:
"When we see Ah Chou, send him back to the State of Lu, and then we can take Guang'er to meet her uncle in the State of Lu!"

Hearing this, Ji Le couldn't help but smile.

"That's true, Le'er has very few relatives left, this Uncle Ah Chou will take her to meet no matter what!"

"Actually... it's not just from Le'er's side. Speaking of which, my father..."

When Li Ran said this, there was another burst of silence.

His father can be said to be a dragon who sees the beginning but does not see the end. He looks like he sees through the world of mortals. He knows that his daughter-in-law and granddaughter will arrive in Luoyi soon, but he has never even seen him.

"My father-in-law is an expert, but it's a pity that Guang'er has never met my grandfather... Actually... she has never even met my grandfather..."

While Ji Le was talking, he thought of his father and brother again, and felt sad for a while, and couldn't help crying.

Li Ran had no choice but to hug her tightly:
"Le'er, don't think about it too much. Thinking too much will inevitably hurt your body... Especially when we see Ah Chou, he is already struggling. If we see you like this again, I'm afraid it will be even more painful."

Li Ran wiped Ji Le's tears gently, and kissed her tear stains lightly.

"Husband, do you have a way to send Ah Chou back to the country, and not to be persecuted wantonly by that old thief Ji Sun?"

"This...we'll talk about it when we see Ah Chou. Now the situation is unclear, and everything has to be decided according to the situation at that time. Don't worry, Le'er, as a husband, I will not only try to send him back to Lu Kingdom in a fair and just way, but also Ji Sun Yiru must pay the price!"

Ji Le let out a "hmm" and closed her eyes. She was already weak and fell asleep soon after being exhausted.

Li Ran looked down at Ji Le's slightly trembling eyelashes, feeling distressed for a moment...

When Ji Le fell asleep, Li Ran got up gently, covered her with a quilt, and walked to the door, but saw that the doctor was brewing herbal medicine, so he walked over.

When Yihe heard the movement, he knew that Li Ran was coming, so he stood up and bowed:

"Is the lady asleep?"

"Well, yes! In fact... these decoctions can only be done by the servants. Mr. He Lao does it himself?"

While talking, Li Ran motioned for Yihe to sit down on an equal footing with him.

And Yihe smiled and said:

"Hehe, it's still early anyway, and tomorrow's medicine is brewed, and it can be taken when it's warmed up. Moreover, the nature of this medicine is also particular about the heat. Those servants are too vulgar, and they fry it carelessly. I'm afraid It cannot exert its full medicinal effect. Since I have free time, I may as well cook it myself!"

Li Ran couldn't help sighing when he heard the sound:
"Mr. used to see a doctor as an excuse to exhort the Marquis of Jin to be diligent and abstinent, and with a few words, Zhao Wenzi came out of the mountain again! Mr.'s insight into the situation in the world is also admirable. I don't know how you think of the Marquis of Lu who fled away. thing?"

After hearing the words, Yihe was silent for a moment:

"Please forgive me for being bold. I think that the disease of the Lu State has already penetrated into the bone marrow, and it is not just because of Ji's family? Since the Lu State became public, it can be said that the abolition of the elders and the establishment of the younger ones, the killing of the sons and the establishment of the concubines is the case. There are too many to count. If you want to say that the instigator is still King Xuan, he made a bad start!"

"King Xuan joked for a while that Duke Wu of Lu would abolish the elders and establish the young. Then Duke Yin took over Lu, and Duke Huan killed his brother Duke Yin. The country has become thousands of holes. Afterwards, the Ji family, who ruled over the emperor for three generations, until the time of Ji Wuzi (Ji's grandson Su), it can be said that the public house has declined. Now, although Luhou is also working hard to govern, but As the saying goes, 'If the weather doesn't grant it, what will people do again'? Isn't it appropriate to win today's defeat?"

"Let's go back to Marquis Lu, now he has a country and cannot return, but even if he returns to the country in the end, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn the tide and turn the situation around. And according to my humble opinion... I'm afraid... Hey, things are unpredictable. As a doctor, it may be difficult to see through it. Perhaps, only the old pavilion master can really see through it!"

In fact, Li Ran also felt this way. Now that he was told by the doctor, he sighed inwardly:
"Yeah, it's hard to return, even if it's sending Marquis Lu back to the country, it's probably not easy..."

Yihe didn't answer, he just picked up the medicine jar and put it aside.

"The old pavilion master once said that the way of heaven is permanent, everything must be in accordance with the time of day, and the world will be governed by doing nothing. Maybe the old pavilion master is telling us that everything must be true and wait for changes, and act in accordance with the times. It's the best way!"

"It's just...the reason why Marquis Lu is in trouble today is also to blame. Moreover, Madam, she is also concerned about this younger brother, so Li Ran can't just sit idly by!"

Hearing this, Yihe shook his head slightly, and sighed:
"As the saying goes, 'Go to the doctor to treat the country, Chinese medicine to treat the people, and the next doctor to treat the disease.' There is no medicine that can heal the country. I only hope that the young master can find a good way to rule the world as soon as possible, and end this troubled world as soon as possible."

Li Ran sighed deeply, feeling powerless.

Ninety-eight out of ten unsatisfactory things in life can be said to be the same.Yihe's medicine is almost boiled, it just needs to be left to cool down.Tomorrow morning, when it's hot, you can take it for Jile.

Li Ran saw the doctor and stretched his waist, and immediately said:
"Mister also rested earlier, and he has to hurry tomorrow morning."

Doctor and smiled.

"The young master also needs to rest early. For a person who works hard like the young master, if he does not rest well, he may become sick from overwork in the future!"

"Thank you sir for reminding me!"

When Li Ran returned to the room, seeing that Ji Le was still asleep, he immediately lay down beside her softly. Ji Le turned over and felt Li Ran come back. He rested his head on Li Ran's arm, moved his eyebrows slightly, and continued to sleep caught.

Li Ran hugged Ji Le gently, and gradually fell asleep...

In the early morning of the next day, Li Ran got up early, warmed up the soup, and brought it to drink for the festival music.

Just because the medicine is too bitter, Ji Le is also hard to swallow.Fortunately, Li Ran had already prepared the honey bait, and every time Ji Le took a sip, he would add a mouthful of honey bait.

After drinking such a bowl of soup and medicine, the four pieces of honey bait were also wiped out.

Seeing Ji Le, he complained:
"This medicine is really too bitter. If you take it like this, when will you be able to grow up..."

Li Ran was on the side, but he comforted him and said:
"Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease."

"That being said, Le'er wouldn't drink if it wasn't fed by her husband."

Li Ran said seriously:
"Le'er can't mess around with this matter, no matter whether her husband is present or not, Le'er must take it on time!"

Seeing Li Ran's earnestness, Ji Le stuck out his tongue playfully, and said with a sweet smile:

"Husband is so boring, Le'er is just playing with you... Now that the medicine is gone, let's hurry up!"

Ji Le is still impatient, and she also wants to see Ah Chou sooner.

For the sake of safety, Li Ran still asked the groom to be as stable as possible.

However, after all, it was the wind blowing all day and sleeping in the open, and Ji Le's face turned red and white when he was exposed to the wind.

Thanks to the doctor and his follower, Ji Le's body was able to withstand the ups and downs under the combined treatment of acupuncture and medicine with all his strength.
