What the female uncle Qi said was extremely insightful, and the clarity of her thinking was admirable. Even Li Ran couldn't find any refutation at all, so in the end, the Marquis of Jin had no choice but to agree to the prince's request this time.
A request for a gathering of allies.
"Well, since there is no objection, then let's do it! Come and report to the envoy of Chu. I am willing to be ordered to come to join the alliance when I come to Jin."
As the dust of the court discussion settled, all the ministers also retreated.
"Sheep tongue, please stay."
Just when Yang Yangui, Zi Chan, and Li Ran were about to leave together, the Marquis of Jin immediately stopped the three of them.
When the other ministers heard the sound, they all turned around to take a look. But they didn't know the reason, so how could they know why the Marquis of Jin had left the three of them behind? Therefore, they just stayed and looked around for a while, and then they all
Just dispersed.
Han Qi on the side also glanced at Yang Tongue and nodded slightly, as if signaling something.
After everyone left, the Marquis of Jin stood up and looked at the brilliant summer scenery outside the palace. The atmosphere in the palace seemed a little strange for a moment.
"Your Majesty, what Sima Hou said is very reasonable. During this meeting in Guo and Di, we, Jin, should conduct ourselves with righteousness and wait for the future."
Yang Yangui has always respected his master, and it can be seen from today.
Therefore, when I saw that the Marquis of Jin was so depressed this time, I immediately guessed that it must have been caused by some advice given by his mentor, Shu Qi.
"Hey, what worries me is that although we in Jin have a virtuous heart, the barbarians in Chu may not be willing to appreciate it. If our Jin country shows weakness this time, then the barbarians will be even more aggressive in the future. Wouldn't it be bad?"
"Besides, Guo is the gateway to our Jin, and the princes are surrounding the alliance meeting in Guo. How will the princes of the world view our Jin country in the future? Now that Chu has succeeded in our Jin, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the world in the future."
The Marquis of Jin was silent for a while, but finally couldn't help but sigh.
Although he is the king of Jin, this matter is far beyond his ability. Even Han Qi has not said anything about this matter today, so one can imagine how difficult his situation is.
It's no wonder, after all, if the Jin State is really at odds with the Chu State, then you, the Marquis of Jin, will be happy, but then the people who will really contribute will be the three armies and six ministers below?
Therefore, in today's Jin State, no one is willing to take on such a thankless task.
When it comes to showing off one's prestige, Han Qi can do it half-heartedly. After all, it's not a loss for him. But if he really wants to fight against the people of Chu? Let's not talk about whether Han Qi has this ability, even if Han Qi
Speaking of myself, I am afraid that there are ten thousand people who are not happy about it.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates are guilty. Today is all our foreign ministers' fault."
At this time, Zichan suddenly bowed to the Marquis of Jin.
"If I hadn't insisted on opposing participation in the alliance, today's court meeting would not have been like this. This matter is all the fault of overseas Chinese."
Deliberately disrupting other countries' national policies, with Zichan's character, he would never be able to do that.
However, if today's matter had not been discussed with Yang Tongui early in the morning, I am afraid that the Marquis of Jin would not be so embarrassed today and lose the dignity of the king of a country.
Zichan took the initiative to take responsibility, which shows his broadmindedness.
When Li Ran heard this, he also bowed and said with shame:
"Master Sima is indeed loyal and loyal, and there is no way to refute him even if he despises his position. This is also the fault of despising his position."
Li Ran didn't know how capable Shu Qi was.
Therefore, he did not use other words to describe it, but judging from today's opinions of Nv Shuqi, Nvshu Qi can definitely bear the words "loyalty and loyalty".
"Hey, you don't have to blame yourself. What the Marquis said is extremely reasonable. This matter has nothing to do with right or wrong. How can I not understand its meaning?"
"Of course, you two are not inviting me with any evil intentions. How can I blame you?"
"Everyone, get up quickly."
After Jin Hou finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly to signal the two of them to stand up.
"Hey, it's just that our Jin Kingdom has been prosperous for six generations and has dominated the Central Plains for hundreds of years. But now, it has passed into the hands of a few people, but I have to look at the face of a barbarian...Hey, I really feel ashamed of my ancestors!
"
The Marquis of Jin turned his head away, hiding his face for a moment and looking haggard.
As a once ambitious monarch, the Jin Kingdom reached its present state in his hands. Although he also had responsibilities, he was mostly powerless.
"Why do you say this, Your Majesty!"
"They are just small barbarians, how can they dare to compare with our Jin? Please don't belittle yourself. In the future, our strong Jin will be revived!"
At this time, Yang Tongue couldn't bear to see the Marquis of Jin feel so sad and sorry for himself, but he could only use sonorous words to cheer up the king's heart.
Zichan heard the sound and also echoed:
"If the prince violates the etiquette, the Chu Kingdom will be in trouble in the future. This time the Guo Alliance will be together, it is better to take power and let him be arrogant for a while. In the future, he will reap the consequences, and the princes of the world will return to the Jin Dynasty!"
Li Ran also agreed with this point.
Although he never spoke, he could easily conclude from various signs that the Chu country was actually not far away from civil strife. Therefore, it was unnecessary for the Marquis of Jin to be worried at this time.
"By the way, Zi Ming, my teacher was also well versed in ancient history and classics. He has become stronger and stronger with age, which is why he has today's great talk. You are still young, so don't be discouraged by today's setbacks.
I feel discouraged."
Yang Yangui was also very smart and hurriedly changed the topic. Since the matter of the Guo Di Meeting has been decided, it is useless to think about it further. It is better to focus on the present.
He deliberately mentioned Li Ran and gave Li Ran a chance to speak. On the one hand, he wanted to change the topic. On the other hand, he also wanted to remind Li Ran of his previous agreement and take the opportunity to persuade the Marquis of Jin.
As he said that, he gave Li Ran a look.
Li Ran understood immediately and said to the Marquis of Jin:
"Your Majesty takes care of everything. This matter has been settled, so there is no need to worry about it anymore. There are so many major things in the world. If your Majesty is so concerned about everything, how can it be done?"
"Your Majesty, please relax. Although the Guo Alliance meeting is a foregone conclusion, there will be no hope for improvement when it comes to the alliance. As long as we handle it properly, I don't think Prince Chu will be too embarrassed."
Too many times."
Li Ran understood. He had never been a person who was eager for quick success, and certainly would not be discouraged by a momentary setback.
Therefore, he only adjusted his mood slightly and calmed down. Not only that, he also immediately said some words to comfort the Marquis of Jin.
"Well, how come I don't understand what the ministers said?"
"That's all, the matter has come to this, we can only wait and see what happens."
The Marquis of Jin sighed again and sat down again.
At this time, Yang Tongueji bowed again and said:
"Your Majesty, I heard that when Zheng Yi was suffering from severe malaria not long ago, Li Ran personally visited various medical clinics in Zheng Yi and saved countless people with his medical skills. He must be quite accomplished in medical skills. Since Li Ran is lucky enough to come here today
So, why not let him diagnose you?"
"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and your body is getting heavier day by day. It is absolutely inappropriate for you to continue like this."
If you want to advise the Marquis of Jin to restrain his female sex, you naturally need a suitable excuse, and this excuse to treat the Marquis of Jin is a pretty good one.
Li Ran understood the idea and immediately kowtowed, and said aloud:
"It's a humble job. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
As soon as Li Ran said this, even if the Marquis of Jin didn't want to, he had to sell Li Ran's face.
Therefore, when the Marquis of Jin heard this, he immediately sighed and said:
"Well, it doesn't hurt to have a consultation. But I never thought that sir would have such abilities? It's really rare."
Li Ran stood up and hurriedly raised his hands and said:
"I don't dare to take it seriously. It's just a humble minister who has learned from his family. It doesn't count as a skill. If there is any inaccuracy, please forgive me."
Li Ran's family education is rich, but he rarely mentions this matter to others, so it is not well known.
