I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Xun Li couldn't help being surprised when he heard Lu Houchou's poisonous curse.

He just stayed where he was, and after a while, in a panic, he hurriedly covered his ears with his hands, and ran out of the house with a loud shout:

"No, no, no, this is definitely not my state of Jin's intention to stir up trouble here! This is definitely not the widow's intention. We have no intention of interfering in Lu's affairs. We'd better go back to Jiangcheng to report to the widow before we talk about it."

Xun Li's pass was ambiguous, and if he was noncommittal, he was obviously finding a new level for himself.

You go crazy, I won't play with you anymore.

This is probably Xun Li's true inner monologue.

However, he couldn't say it clearly.Therefore, he can only use this method to "pretend to be deaf and dumb" and keep himself out of the matter.

When Li Ran saw Xun Li running out with his ears covered, he muttered something, knowing that Lu Houchou must have caused another catastrophe this time, so he hurried in.

Seeing Lu Houchou smashing things in the house, Li Ran hugged Lu Houchou regardless of being accidentally injured by Lu Houchou.

Lu Houchou felt that someone was hugging him and broke free instinctively. Li Ran didn't hug him. Lu Houchou fell to the ground, curled up and coughed. The cough became more and more severe. He didn't catch his breath, and he passed out directly. past.

Seeing that he fell into a coma in a panic, Li Ran hurriedly called the doctor to check it out, and when the doctor came in, Zi Jiaji and Kong Qiu also entered in a hurry, and said that Xun Li had gone to find Jisun Yiru at this moment.

Seeing that this matter could not be done, Xun Li had no choice but to let Ji Sun Yiru go back first.

After all, the conflict between their monarchs and ministers has not been eliminated. If there is a bloodshed incident in Marquis Qian, it will be extremely embarrassing for Lu Hou, Ji Sun Yiru, and even for him, a peacemaker.

Lu Houchou was fine, after the doctor used needle stones to calm his Qi, he woke up.After seeing Li Ran looking at him with concern at this moment, recalling his impulsiveness just now, he couldn't help feeling regretful.

At this time, Zilu, who had been outside all this time, rushed in again and shouted:
"The big thing is not good! That Ji Sun Yiru had already run towards Lu State in the carriage!"

Li Ran made a decisive decision and helped Lu Houchou up.

"Your Majesty! Hurry up and chase Ji Sun Yiru, as long as you catch up with him, you will still have a chance to return home!"

Lu Houchou shook his body, smiled wryly, and gently pushed Li Ran away.

"The widow was instigated by others, and if I said something like that, I am afraid that the state of Jin would no longer care about the widow? Why did the widow seek to humiliate himself? If he returned to the state of Lu like this, wouldn't he still be suppressed by the Ji clan? ? Hey...that's all..."

Li Ran was disheartened when he saw Lu Houchou, and his current frail body.It was not enough to support his carriage to chase after him, so Li Ran had no choice but to let it go.It was just a lot of painstaking efforts, but in the end it fell short, and he stomped his feet and walked out.

He couldn't bear to blame Lu Houchou, but with such a commotion now, the return to the country might be far away.

Unexpectedly, Lu Houchou has not changed much for so many years.He was still so impulsive, and it was his fatal flaw that Ji Sun Yiru and Fan Yang seized the opportunity in the end.

……

After Xun Zhi asked Ji Sun Yiru to go back, he was also preparing to bid farewell to the state of Jin. After bidding farewell to Marquis Lu, he met Li Ran again.

Xun Li couldn't help but heaved a long sigh:

"I have tried my best, but Lu Hou's words are too shocking, saying that he is going to die after seeing Ji Sun Yiru. How can he afford this... After all, he is also here under the order of the widow, Lu Hou. Wouldn't it be injustice to act like this?"

Li Ran cupped his hands and said:
"Xun Xiajun has already done his best, and Li Ran knows it. It's a pity that some people don't want this to happen, but Xun Xiajun's efforts are in vain."

When Xun Li heard the words, he couldn't help but looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he looked sideways and said:
"Oh? Why did Mr. Ziming say that?"

Li Ran also shook his head:

"It was someone who said in front of Lu Hou that after Ji Sun Yiru took him back to the country, he would definitely be punished by him. Even if it didn't hurt Lu Hou's life, he would definitely kill all the people around him and make him a The real loner. Marquis Lu couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so he was fooled."

"Hey... I'm afraid that there are still other people behind this matter."

Li Ran didn't say it explicitly, but he alluded to Fan Yang's intention.Xun Bi could understand it.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

"It's really a pity that this matter is self-defeating, and Xun Xiajun made a trip for nothing, but he doesn't know where the Marquis of Jin is..."

Xun Bi was silent for a while, then said:
"Taishi will persuade you with good words in front of the widow, so Tai Shi can rest assured."

Li Ran sighed:

"In this way, Lao Xun will join the army."

Xun Li looked at Li Ran in front of him, and couldn't help but make a wry smile.

However, it is also strange to say, why this Xun Li can talk to Li Ran so calmly at this time?
Moreover, in the matter of Lu Hou's return to the country, at least he was "impartial" on the surface.

You must know that the Xun family has been a "vassal" of the Zhongxing family for a long time, so it is obvious that they should be closer to the Fan family.

And it all started from that night.

……

That is, on the night when they set off to Qianhou, when he and Li Ran were drinking in the tent, they suddenly blamed Li Ran.

However, Li Ran was not flustered at that time, and his words were sharp without losing morality.

Therefore, in his heart now, he also has a little more admiration for the famous Li Ran.

At that time, Li Ran faced Xun Li's questioning and talked about the old affairs of King Ling of Chu and the prince's dynasty. He stopped his cup and threw his chopsticks for a while, and then said calmly:

"Hehe, it's just because the King Ling of Chu and Wang Zichao, who were assisted by Li Ran, didn't have such sensible people as Xun Xiajun around them. Now that Marquis Lu returned to his country, he had to rely on Xun Xiajun for everything. .Li Ran is just a mere outsider, so insignificant here. But I don't know that Xun Xiajun is sure about this matter?"

Xun Li was a little embarrassed when Li Ran said this. He was stunned for a while, and then smiled unnaturally.

"Hehe, Li Taishi is too modest. Since this matter was initiated by Mr., and Mr. has been running around like this, I feel that Mr. has worked very hard after seeing him. If this matter can be achieved, Mr. should be the biggest contributor to this matter. But... If it doesn't work... Li Taishi must be to blame too!"

The so-called "obedient listen to the voice", Li Ran understands that Xun Bi's words are not without evasion.

The strange thing is that this matter has not been mentioned yet, so why would Xun Li want to shirk responsibility at this time?
Apparently, this Xun Li must have received Fan Yang's intention before setting off.

Li Ran is also not clear about the key points.

Therefore, Li Ran said indifferently:
"Dare to ask Xun Xiajun... the former king of the Jin Kingdom, Qinggong, is it not a bad thing to be in the army?"

In fact, as I said before, the reason why Xun Li can have today's status is entirely supported by the Bank of China Wu back then.

While Zhongxing Wu supported the establishment of the Xun family, some of them had the intention of replacing the Xun family with the suzerain of the same family.

Therefore, after the death of Wu of the Bank of China, Xun Liye was an adult, so he naturally didn't want to be controlled by others, so he turned to actively serve Duke Qing of Jin instead.

What they did was to make their Xun clan no longer subject to the Zhongxing clan.

It was not until later that Fan Yang began to gradually take control of the power, considering that the Fan family had formed an alliance with the Zhongxing family, and the Xun family began to have both sides at this time, and actively moved closer to the Fan family.

Xun Bi smiled slightly.

"The first king treated him very well, there is no doubt about it. But... what does this matter have to do with the first king?"

"Xiajun Mingjian, I think the reason why the Xun family is able to exist today is because Muzi of the Bank of China pityed his friendship with his family and intended to help them. However, since the death of Muzi of the Bank of China, especially since the Xun Xiajun was After acquiring Tushui Town for no reason, the relationship between your Xun clan and the Zhongxing clan... I am afraid that the soldiers are well aware of it, right?"

When Xun Li heard the words, he couldn't help being slightly startled.

He knew that the "Tushui County" that Li Ran mentioned was another entanglement between the six ministers that their Xun family had fallen into not long ago.

And the focus of their conflict lies in Tushui County!
It is said that in the past, after the Qi family and the Yangtong family were destroyed, the land of the Qi family was divided into seven counties, and the land of the Yangton family was divided into three counties.

And Wei Shu, relying on his status as a general in the army, deliberately played tricks.These ten feudal cities were only distributed to the four families of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Xun, as well as the six close ministers around Duke Qing of Jin, but they did not have the shares of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family.

As for Fan Yang and Zhong Xingyin, although they were extremely dissatisfied with this, they were helpless.

It's just because the feudal cities of their two families are all concentrated in the east of Jin Dynasty, while the four families of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Xun are all in the west of Jin Dynasty.And the ten counties assigned are all in the west of Shanxi.

Therefore, it is reasonable and reasonable for the four adjacent families to each get one town.

As for the rest, they were entrusted to Jin Qinggong's favorite close ministers—Jia Xin, Sima Mimou, Sima Du, Meng Bing, Le Xiao, and Liao'an.

In other words, the people around the Marquis of Jin got six towns, and Han, Zhao, Wei, and Xun each got one.

And what their Xun family got was this Tushui County.

Obviously, the reason why Wei Shu wants to allocate in this way has two meanings:

First, his method of division is obviously to preserve the government's control over these private towns as much as possible.So that this plan can get the support of the Marquis of Jin.

After all, most of the people around Jinhou still got the share.This is both reasonable and reasonable.

The second thing is, in fact, it is not without the intention of wooing the Xun family.

After all, in the final analysis, this matter was caused by him Xun Li, and it was only natural that he could get a share of the city.

However, as the saying goes, "Don't worry about being too few, but worrying about unevenness", after all, the Zhongxing family and the Xun family came from the same school.As the follower of the Fan family, the Xun family even claimed that he was also favored by the Zhongxing family in his early years.

But now that Wei Shu is so "partial" to the Xun family, it is inevitable that the Fan family and the Zhongxing family have the faint intention of being betrayed.

The Xun family may have drifted away from them from this time on.

Therefore, when Xun Li heard Li Ran's words, his face was expressionless for a while.
