I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 429 Chapter 509 Chapter 510 Goal: Check and balance Fan Yang

Dong Anyu acted very calmly, looking quite confident.

"Now that the new ruler has just been established, he intends to inherit the will of my former ruler Pinggong and accomplish a great cause!"

When Li Ran heard it, he immediately understood what was going on.

Although Dong Anyu's words are concise and to the point, the meaning is actually quite cryptic.

Now the newly established King of Jin, Marquis Wu of Jin, is the great-grandson of Duke Ping of Jin.Although he is only in his teens now, he is determined to sweep away the haze of the regent of Jin Guoquan and revitalize the Jin Guogong.

In fact, when it comes to Jin Pinggong period, although with the assistance of Zhao Wenzi, Han Xuanzi and others, Jin barely maintained its hegemony.

However, in the late Jin Pinggong period, he gradually fell into internal friction with the power minister and became increasingly depressed.

Prosperous in construction and indulged in beauty, this is the basic state of Duke Ping of Jin in his later years.

And the reason why he wanted to build a lot of construction in his later years and ignore political affairs was not so much a sinking, but a silent resistance.

And Jin Pinggong, relying on this method, cleverly maintained the power among the Qing clans.

Let's go back to now.

Most people really can't do this job.

The Fan family had always been friends with the Zhongxing family, but not long ago, the Zhongxing family married the Xiaozong Handan Zhao family who also came from the Zhao family.

And such a Fan family, how can he not let the other Qing clan who are not against him, both openly and secretly, tremble in the corner?

"Well... where are you going? Li is willing to go!"

The answer is obvious.

And this kind of tolerance of "selecting talents without avoiding their enemies" may be the reason why Zhao Wu was able to revitalize the Zhao family by himself.

Li Ran followed the watchman into the house.The watchman lit a lamp, and the room suddenly became brighter. Li Ran squinted his eyes, but he didn't see anyone else.

After all, in the face of Zhao Yang's current solicitation, Li Ran was already Jiang Ziya fighting monsters, so he was no stranger to it.

For example, the Han family, Han Xu, the current patriarch of the Han family, took the initiative to move his main town to Pingyang.It looks like people and animals are harmless, and they are only going to run their own family.

Speaking of the young Patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Yang, he was actually established as suzerain almost under a state of suffocating high pressure.

"What's more, Yang didn't know anything else. He only knew that my grandfather had the ability to know people. When my grandfather was alive, he asked Yang to invite two assistants. One was Dong Hu's successor, Dong Anyu. And the other person is you, sir. Now that Yang has Dong Anyu to assist him, the only thing missing is sir."

However, after Han Xuanzi became an official and Fan Yang joined the Central Army, Zhao Yang's life naturally became increasingly difficult.

Its intention is not obvious. Fan Yang obviously wants to use Handan as a lever to split the entire Zhao clan.

Therefore, under Dong Anyu's planning, they also wanted to take advantage of Lu Hou's matter to stand with the new monarch, so as to better check and balance Fan Yang.

"Zhong You! You go with the adults secretly, in case of accidents!"

However, what Zhao Yang didn't expect was that when Li Ran faced his sincere invitation, Li Ran didn't feel any disturbance in his heart.

Li Ran's question can also be said to be concise and to the point, but following the above, it is obvious whether the situation asked is true.But in fact, the subtext is: You Zhao family will really not deal with Fan's for the sake of our Lu country?
Dong Anyu also heard the meaning behind Li Ran's words, so he said without hesitation:
"Exactly! After all, for the Zhao family, this is the only way to protect themselves!"

But Kong Qiu was still worried about this.

Throughout the ages, the reason why the "faint lords" of all dynasties want to build palaces and recruit beautiful women, which seems to be extremely extravagant and lustful, actually mostly has another meaning in it.

After Li Ran finished speaking, he bowed his hands again to show his gratitude.When Zhao Yang heard the words, he waved his hands and said:

Dong Anyu left first, and not long after, two watchmen entered the post house.One of them arrived at the room, took off his clothes, and left quietly taking advantage of the night, while Li Ran went out to the watch with the other watchman.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, if you want to be a qualified "lewd and immoral" monarch, you really have to have a good body.

Then why do you say that Zhao Wu and Zhao Wenzi are really tolerant?
Because, if you want to talk about their "disaster in the palace", their Zhao family can be said to have experienced a catastrophe, and the whole family was almost wiped out directly.

Li Ran was shocked when he heard it.

And among them, the most suppressed ones are none other than Han, Zhao, and Wei.

However, Li Ran couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he heard the sound, and shook his head and said:
"Zhao Shangjun praised it, and Li Ran is really ashamed. Li Ran has been in office several times, but in the end most of them are not satisfactory. He even almost lost his own life, but now he is just a bereaved dog, not worthy of Zhao Shangjun's attention. !"

Although the two of them had met before, this was actually the first time they met.

It's Fan Yang

Zhao Yang's sense of crisis is growing day by day, and he thinks he can't sit still.

After the two sat down, Zhao Yang was the first to speak:
"Mr. Ziming's virtuous name is on the broadcast. Yang has long wanted to meet him, but he has never been able to. It is a great honor to meet him today. However, it is a bit wronged to invite him to meet in this way. gentlemen!"

Only one seedling was left alone, which was later Zhao Wu.

Seeing that Li Ran agreed, Dong An leaned forward and whispered:
"This matter has to be done in secret, and the Fan family cannot be aware of it. Therefore, I hope that Dr. Ziming can condescend and pretend to be a watchman before going to meet the Patriarch."

This scene was beyond Li Ran's expectation. He did not expect that Zhao Yang, one of the six ministers of the Jin Kingdom, would pretend to be a watchman to meet him!
This is obviously what Dong Anyu asked him to do.

Zhao Yang let out a long sigh.

But of course, these three will not sit still.

"Forgive me, but it's hard to obey! But this time I came to the Jin Kingdom, I just wanted to return to the country as the Marquis of Lu. Once this matter is over, I will retire with my wife and daughter and stop worrying about world affairs. Disputes in the world will also be resolved at that time. It has nothing to do with Ran. Zhao Shangjun, let's talk about Luhou first!"

When Li Ran heard this, he said without hesitation:

After Zhao Yang listened, he still replied nonchalantly:

"Hehe, what's so difficult about this? Li just clean up now!"

"When my grandfather was alive, he often mentioned Mr. Ziming to Yang Yang. If he had the opportunity in the future, he must invite Mr. Ziming. He said that Yang only knew martial arts and was not good at strategy, and Mr. Ziming was a master of strategy. People, so if my Zhao family wants to revive, it must be Mr. Ziming."

"Forgive me for your boldness, but I also ask Master Ziming to move forward and meet my lord!"

But actually?This is nothing more than a way to show weakness to Fan Yang and try to avoid disaster.

That woman is married, where does she live?Surely there aren't enough rooms?Then you have to build a palace. Where does the money for building the palace come from?Definitely not from the public house, my own daughter hurts herself, so do all of your families have to contribute a share of the money?This is not for me, Mr. Jin Ping, but for your daughter to live a good life.

"Hehe, sir, don't doubt it, my master is only a year old in ambition and learning, and he is not good at strategy, so how can he dare to have other thoughts? It's just because the Fan family has united with the Zhongxing family and has been planning to plot against my Zhao family for a long time. And I, the Zhao family, It's just out of self-preservation!"

After the ceremony, the two began to size up each other.

"Jin State Commander Zhao Yang, met Mr. Ziming!"

Li Ran knew that the grandfather Zhao Yang was talking about at this time was none other than Zhao Wu and Zhao Wenzi, the ZTE leader of the Zhao family. It has a good reputation.

"I never thought it was Zhao Shangjun! Li Ran was rude!"

What surprised him was the tolerance of his grandfather Zhao Wu and Zhao Wenzi!

However, the only disadvantage of this game is that it is inevitable that the body will be exhausted in this way of playing.

"Well, I don't care about these many things now. It's a good thing for us that Mrs. Zhao has such a thought! We can take this opportunity to serve Luhou back to the country, and they can also take advantage of the new king's hand to check and balance Fan, everyone gets what they need, so don't worry!"

But now, Fan Yang directly overwhelmed the Zhao family except in terms of status.In fact, he has already focused on splitting the Zhao clan.

Now, who is standing in front of Li Ran?

Li Ran also wanted to understand the key point.

"Then... what are you going to do?"

Naturally, whoever pays more, I will trust him.Will my actions cause involution among your own Qing clan?

Chapter 510_ Zhao Wenzi's capacity to accommodate people
Soon, Li Ran changed into a watchman's costume, and asked Kong Qiu and Zhong You to stay in the post house to wait for news.

Well, we married the monarch, and contributed money and effort to build the palace for the government. This cake will grow bigger and bigger. Everyone will only think about how to long for Jin Pinggong, so how can these people dare to be half-hearted? Woolen cloth?

Of course the young Zhao Yang was also deeply worried about this, but there was nothing he could do.

However, Li Ran was still wary and couldn't help squinting his eyes:
"Oh? Really?"

Because he knew very well that Dong Hu back then, that is, the ancestor of Dong Anyu, was the historian who wrote "Zhao Dun killed his lord"!

In fact, Dong Anyu was already prepared, he immediately took out a set of watchman's clothes, while Li Ran immediately got up, and wanted to go into the inner room to change clothes, while Kong Qiu stepped forward, whispering in a worried voice road:
"Zhao's move is just out of self-protection. Is this really feasible?"

Li Ran said firmly:
"Shangjun Zhao sincerely invites you, but Li Ran has no intention of strife in the world, so please forgive me for not obeying..."

What surprised Li Ran was not that Zhao Yang paid so much attention to him.

That is, in order to weaken the power of Doctor Qing or the gentry!

"Sir... really don't think about it anymore?"

Zhao Wu, the grandson of Zhao Dun.And when he faced his family's enemy Dong's family again in the future, when the Zhao family was revitalized under his hands, what he thought of was not to liquidate the Dong family.On the contrary, he let his heirs assist his family.

Li Ran obviously still doesn't understand Zhao Yang.Therefore, there is still a sense of precaution and temptation in the words.

Firstly, it was to deceive others.Secondly, it is also to reflect the quality of their Zhao family's "pragmatic rather than unrealistic" and willing to "surrender their identity" for the great cause.

After Zilu said "No", he followed Li Ran from a distance.I saw the two of them walking normally in the night for a while, then suddenly entered a corner, and then entered a house.

Seeing this, Li Ran didn't dare to be negligent, so he hastily returned the gift.

Dong Anyu's words seemed to be irrelevant to the question, but he and Li Ran knew each other well.

And at such a young age, the reason why he was able to rank in the Six Ministers was mostly thanks to the support of Han Xuanzi and Wei Shu before.

"Ah! Sir, this remark is wrong. Although Martingale is not talented, he also knows that Jiang Taigong was not used by King Zhou in the past. He met King Wen of Ming Dynasty only when he was seventy-two years old. Bailixi was also doing nothing in Yu State. But Qin Mugong exchanged five sheepskins, so that the Western Qin ruled and dominated Xirong! If this is the case, why should you care too much about the gains and losses at this moment?"

Zhao Yang couldn't help but startled when he heard the words, his disappointment could be seen at a glance.

"Zhao Shangjun... is he really willing to mediate this matter for Lu Hou?"

The house is located in a deep alley, but it is not at all conspicuous.In order to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed, Zilu had no choice but to watch from a distance, not daring to approach.

As the saying goes, there is nothing greater than death, after he assisted the two bastards, King Chu Ling and Wang Zichao, especially after his father Li Er told him the truth of "doing nothing", in fact, Li Ran at this moment also Already had the idea of ​​retreating.

Today, the Fan family, after three generations, especially Fan Yang himself, has become more and more prominent through Pinggong, Zhaogong, and Qinggong, and his power has reached its peak.

Li Ran pondered for a moment, in fact, he could understand what Dong Anyu said.In fact, the Zhao family regarded supporting Marquis Wu of Jin as a means to check and balance the Fan family.

"Sir, you don't have to be like this. After Yang entered De Luoyi, the reason why Yang wanted to see Mr. Yang was not to ask for credit. I hope that Mr. Yang can come to our country of Jin and help Yang!"

Li Ran couldn't help smiling when he heard this.

But under the same situation, the Zhao family seems to have chosen a completely different path from the Han family.

The king wants to recruit concubines, where do women come from?It must not be the daughter of a common man, all major families have to send their own daughters over.Then I'm not too polite, and I'll take all the bills, isn't that too much?

But seeing the watchman took off his coat and hat straight away, bowed deeply to Li Ran, and said:

And it was because of Dong Hu's "Zhao Dun Killing His King" that was well-known in the annals of history, this family stain directly laid the groundwork for the "difficulty in the palace" of the Zhao family in the future!

When Confucius thought about it, it was true.As for whether the current Zhao Yang will become the next Fan Yang in the future, anyway, this is a later event of the Jin State.It's useless to think too much at this time!
-

"Although Martingale is not talented, if you don't give up, Martingale asks you to conspire with him for great things!"

And who is Zhao's threat?
Also Fan Yang
Therefore, although the inside and outside words are not expressive, everyone's thinking is surprisingly clear.

"Zhao Shangjun is serious. It is said that Li Ran was rude first when he was in Luoyi. At that time, Li Ran rejected Zhao Shangjun because he was in a bad mood. Looking back now, Li Ran is also extremely ashamed. I also heard others say that the reason why Li Ran's life is able to survive until now is also because of the favor of the lord! Li Ran is here to thank Zhao Shangjun."

"It's really a pity, Mr. is so talented, but he would have the idea of ​​retreating. Hey... It's really a pity. I don't know when the dispute between the world will be achieved?"

"Li Ran's ability is limited, and he is beyond his power. Zhao Shangjun, let's talk about Lu Hou's return to the country!"

Seeing that Li Ran repeatedly brought the topic back to the matter of Marquis Lu, Zhao Yang obviously showed that he had made up his mind, and Zhao Yang had nothing to do about it.

So, he had no choice but to get back to business, and after a little rectification of his thoughts, he said to Li Ran:
"Actually, before my husband came to the state of Jin, Dong Anyu asked Yang to inquire about the affairs of the state of Lu to the widow, and Yang now knows the intention of the widow. Tomorrow, Yang will bring Mr. Let’s meet the widow together, and you and I will propose this matter together, and the widow will naturally agree to this matter. At that time, even Fan Yang will find it difficult to stop this matter!"
