I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 9: First Good Strategies
Shu Sunbao was so angry, but it made everyone confused.

"Who does the doctor mean?"

Hearing this, Li Ran was even more surprised.After all, in these years, he has never seen anyone who dared to tamper with Zhou Li blatantly.

Although the royal family has declined, the rituals of the week are still alive after all.What's more, no matter what status they are nobles, after all, isn't their current status determined by Zhou Li?Whose ancestor was not a son or grandson?

Who would be so overwhelmed to move a rock and shoot himself in the foot?

At this time, Shusun Bao seemed to realize that his question just now was very inexplicable, so he immediately waved his hand and said angrily:
"You guys don't know, there was a solar eclipse in the past few days. And the new king mourned, and the new king had to watch the funeral in the temple. So that Ji Sun Su used this as an excuse to hold the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky in advance. !Talk about it...is this really unreasonable?!"

It turned out to be such a problem.

After hearing this, Li Ran looked at Prince Ye, and saw that Prince Ye's handsome and handsome face was filled with anger, but due to Ji's influence in Lu State, his anger could only be kept in his heart. Take the liberty to come to Shusun Bao to discuss countermeasures.

"Doctor Qing sacrificed to heaven on behalf of the king, which has never happened in ancient times. I don't know why the Ji family came here?"

Once this kind of defiance of the world has attracted the hearts of the people in the country, what good will he end up with?
"Perhaps it's because Ji Sunsu feels that time is running out. These years can be said to be more and more arrogant. Now that the ancestor's new funeral is in hand, he is a little bit ready to move!"

"His purpose for doing this is obvious. On the one hand, it is to usurp the power of the monarch and give the new monarch a disgrace... Second, he can also use the act of appeasing the people on behalf of the heavens to win the hearts of the people. If it is done, then today Not only will the reputation of the Ji Clan not become the target of public criticism, but it may also become a key step for Yuezu to take over!"

Li Ran didn't quite understand why someone who clearly violated the Zhou etiquette could still have such benefits?

Uncle Sunbao saw that Li Ran was still a little confused, so he further explained:

"Zi Ming came to the State of Lu at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Maybe he didn't know something. The succession of the new king of Lu State has never been stable. Before Qingfu killed two monarchs to stand on his own, and then there was Dongmen Xiangzhong who abolished the elders and established the young. Therefore, the new monarchs have always been Safety depends entirely on the doctor. Ji's move is to tell the world that the new king is not a man of destiny. If he wants to abolish him in the future, he will have an excuse."

A discerning person like Shusunbao can tell what kind of medicine is sold in Jisunsu's gourd at a glance, but the problem is that although he knows it, it is difficult to stop him because of his weak power.

The three Huans of the State of Lu, and the Ji family controlled the two Huan and the three armies.Although his uncle Sunbao has been able to support him these years, he is only protecting himself. Once he wants to completely tear his face and compete with the Ji family and the Meng family, it may be difficult.

"I've only heard that Dr. Jisun is arrogant and domineering. Looking at it now, it can be said to be worse than worse."

"My lord, the sacrifice should be done by the people in the public office. Don't let the Ji clan intervene. If not, the consequences will be really unimaginable."

Ji Le also seemed filled with righteous indignation, with a deep sense of awe on his delicate and noble face.

This problem is very serious, so serious that everyone knows that if it happens, it will very likely shake the foundation of Lu State.

When Li Ran was said so by everyone, he could also feel Ji Sunsu's strength this time.This is clearly aimed at the last prestige of the Lu State Office. Once he succeeds, the Lu State Office will really exist in name only.At that time, I'm afraid it will be like the Zhou royal family now...

However, when he looked back, he felt that there was something wrong with this matter.Because of this matter, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ji Sunsu is indeed a little too hasty.

"Since the national mourning is already underway, why is Ji Sunsu in such a hurry to hold the ceremony?"

Li Ran looked at Uncle Sun Bao and asked.But after his words fell, Uncle Sunbao and Prince Ye immediately looked at each other, the old and the young seemed to have something to hide, and they were unwilling to answer this question directly.

At this time, the young master Chouhu who followed Li Ran and Jiyue jumped up and down, clapped his hands happily and shouted inexplicably:

"He's in a hurry... in a hurry..."

Ji Le hastily stepped forward to stop him, but his words really fell into the ears of everyone present.

Yes, Ji Sunsu was in a hurry.

But why is he in such a hurry?
"Ziming, do you still remember Ji Sun Yiru from yesterday?"

Shu Sunbao asked in a deep voice with a dark face.

Li Ran nodded immediately.

Only to hear Uncle Sun Bao say coldly again:
"Ji Sun Yiru is the future suzerain of the Ji Clan. This person is narrow-minded, insidious and cunning. Seeing that he was protecting you yesterday, I'm afraid he already has hatred for you and me, and he wants to get rid of it quickly."

"The words you humiliated him at the rally yesterday will definitely make him aware of the danger. Thinking about it, it must be because of this reason, which makes him stunned. I thought that with this move, I can completely control the office in one fell swoop, and then I can go to court. Wei, it is justifiable to cut off dissidents like you."

As his words fell, Li Ran couldn't help being surprised.

"What?...It came to me?"

Just because he gave Ji Sun Yiru a meal without a word of swearing at the rally yesterday, so Ji took action immediately?

where does this start
But since he was involved in this matter, it would be too immoral for Li Ran not to say a word. After all, he had just been invited by Uncle Sunbao. If he didn't help at this time, it would be too immoral.

At this moment, Li Ran folded his hands on his chest (this is his habitual action, he always did this when he was thinking about problems in the research room) thinking and saying:
"Since the Ji family dared to risk the displeasure of the world, they must have colluded with the officials in private. Therefore, even if the uncle Sun and the crown prince objected, it would have little effect... Ji Sunsu is so deceitful, It must have been fully prepared.”

At this moment, Li Ran paced back and forth a few more times, meditating and talking to himself:
"Since it is a sacrifice to heaven, there must be a sacrificial vessel..."

Seeing Li Ran take a stride, he said suddenly:
"Yes! It's still my humble opinion, why don't we give him this chance! Hehe, since we can't suppress Ji Sun, why not use someone else's hand!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Li Ran meant:
"What do you mean by this statement?"

"Simple. If you talk about the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, you must first inform the royal family. According to Zhou rituals, the ritual utensils for offering sacrifices to heaven are all provided by the royal family. When the Zhou royal family learned about this, according to Zhou rituals, they must give Lu Jun sacrificial utensils... However, Zhou’s family’s Fu is so thin that it is no longer possible to make ritual utensils. Therefore, for many years, people have been sent to Jin to ask for it. If people in Jin know that Ji Sun’s family has such a different heart... Haha, then you can have no worries! But just agree to him. Yes!"

As soon as his words fell, Prince Ye immediately showed an expression of enlightenment, his expression changed, and he was overjoyed and said:
"wonderful!"

"How can the Jisun family be allowed to do things according to Zhou's rites? No matter how arrogant the Jisun family is in Lu State, they will never dare to offend Jin State!"

"Good strategy! Really good strategy!"

"Thank you, Brother Ziming, for your pointers!"

After the prince's wild words, he immediately bowed to Li Ran, very respectful.

After listening to what Prince Ye said, Shu Sunbao suddenly realized, and immediately looked at Li Ran, his eyes full of expectation.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts that Li Ran's confidence in this scheme lay in:

Whether it is the king of Jin or the six officials, they will definitely not tolerate Ji's blatant theft of monarchy.

Needless to say, the monarch, the six ministers are also pregnant with their own ghosts, who would dare to open such an opening?Whoever dares to agree to this matter will leave a stain of contempt for Zhou Li from that day on.

So this matter seems to be a matter of Lu Guo's family, but in fact it involves a lot.

"Ji Sun only knows the benefits of taking power, but he doesn't know the harm of taking power. This move is tantamount to taking a chestnut out of the fire. It seems to be at your fingertips, but in fact we only need to operate quietly to make him unable to advance or retreat!"

"My lord, if the Jisun family really asks such a question at that time, you can just agree to it. Not only must you answer readily, but you must also order people to set off immediately to go to the royal family of Zhou to ask for a sacrificial vessel. You only threaten to use Jisun's Sacrificial to heaven on behalf of the king in name. At that time, the grandson didn’t know that all the ritual utensils in the Zhou Dynasty are now from the hands of the Jin people, so he must be unprepared... At that time, just wait for the Jin people to come to ask for accountability. Ha ha... This is a plan to use the corpse to resurrect the soul!"

This "borrowing the corpse to return the soul" is obviously borrowing the "corpse" of the Zhou royal family, but returning the "soul" of the Duke of Lu.

When he finished speaking, he felt that he was already a qualified politician.

Whoever said that a scholar is useless, at this critical moment, it really doesn't hurt to know more about the rules of the game.

But immediately, he felt that this kind of work of playing tricks and tricks was really not attractive to him.

Then he turned to Prince Ye, bowed and solemnly said:
"However, when you come to the Kingdom of Lu in the future, my son, benevolence and righteousness should be put first, and the common people should be the most important. Such tricky and deceitful methods are always just bad tactics and should not be used more often."

When he finished speaking again, he was suddenly stunned.

Because he saw Shusun Bao, Prince Ye, and Ji Le were all looking at him with very strange eyes.

"What... what's wrong?"

After looking up and down, he didn't find anything wrong, so he had to ask.

"Brother Ziming has a high integrity, which is really admirable."

"Today's teaching, you should remember it!"

In the eyes of Prince Ye, Li Ran's words have gone beyond the scope of ordinary people in power.Although he didn't know how to describe it, he could clearly feel the sincerity in Li Ran's words.

This really touched and inspired him.
