I Won’t Be a King in the Spring and Autumn Period Chapter 317: The Way of a Gentleman
Shen Wuyu has always been quick to deal with things, so his suspicion was actually correct. Li Ran had indeed "used" him.
Li Ran knew what kind of person Shen Wuyu was. When Shen Wuyu and Wu She came to visit him, he deliberately used words to "protect oneself wisely", and his purpose was to inspire Shen Wuyu to take action on his own.
As expected, his words really irritated Shen Wuyu, especially Li Ran's attitude of "not caring about matters that have nothing to do with him" at that time.
Shen Wuyu finally couldn't hold it any longer and was the first to go and admonish the King of Chu.
This is what happened next.
He rescued Shen Wuyu, and when the King of Chu rewarded him, he recommended Shen Wuyu, and then used the "Story of Shen Wuyu's Ancestor" that he had prepared long ago to lobby. He also considered Shen Wuyu's own loyalty to the King of Chu and the Chu State.
It was a matter of course that he obtained the status of a doctor.
As a result, Li Ran's entire plan was successfully implemented without any mistakes.
Whether it is the King of Chu or Shen Wuyu, everything is under Li Ran's calculations. Li Ran has got their characters and wisdom just right.
But it can also be seen that in this kind of autocratic monarchy system, if you want to promote one person to the top, the twists and turns are too complicated.
Even if it was Li Ran, in order to prevent the King of Chu from being suspicious, he had to lay the groundwork again and again.
At this time, after Shen Wuyu saw through Li Ran's plan, he suddenly felt horrified in his heart.
He didn't expect that his "recklessness" was actually part of Li Ran's calculations from beginning to end, but he had foolishly thought that all this was just his "fate".
He felt the horror of Li Ran.
Moreover, he also felt deeply that he seemed to be being used.
At the same time, another suspicion and speculation about Li Ran also emerged in his mind.
"Ming Gong is planning this just to find out this traitor for our Chu country?"
He suspected Li Ran's true motives.
After all, Li Ran had said before that he would leave after agreeing on three things with the King of Chu.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so concerned about King Chu's affairs.
But this is not the case.
"Haha, doctor, there is no need to doubt."
"It is undeniable that he did take advantage of the doctor's 'uprightness', but this was also a helpless move."
"I'm afraid the identity and origin of this spy is not simple. The person behind it is probably not just for the sake of causing harm to the Chu country. If it is not eliminated, I am afraid the whole world will be uneasy."
"And if we want to find out the details of this person, we really can't find anyone else who is trustworthy, so we have no choice but to let the doctor do it for us."
"But the doctor's status at that time was humble and he was not qualified for such an important task. So although Li Ran had many plans, he always lacked a capable left-hand assistant."
"I'm lucky to have the doctor helping me today, and Li Ran is very relieved."
Li Ran had no way to appease Shen Wuyu's dissatisfaction, so he could only discuss the matter.
If he had a better choice, he certainly wouldn't push Shen Wuyu onto the stage of history in advance.
"Huh, Ming Gong said this lightly, but has Ming Gong ever thought about what the king would think if he knew this?"
Ranwen
"Wuyu and Minggong only met each other a few times, but Minggong provoked Wuyu like this. Little did he know that what the king was most afraid of was the secret clique among the courtiers, and Minggong was to the king what Guan Zhong was to Qi Huangong. Ming Gong was to the king.
If you act like this, how can your Majesty be able to endure it?"
Look, this is the embodiment of Shen Wuyu's strong side.
Even Li Ran, a benefactor who had just made him a doctor, he could question him without any scruples. This kind of uprightness engraved in his bones has become the most distinctive feature of his life, no matter how old he is.
Even the passage of time cannot erase it.
And this integrity will eventually be passed on to his own children.
Li Ran heard the sound and immediately smiled and said:
"Haha, the pure will themselves be clean, but I have never thought of it this way. It's just...doesn't the doctor want to find out who the spy is hiding in Chu country?"
And Li Ran transferred his dissatisfaction with himself with a gentle move.
"The doctor is dissatisfied with Ranzhi, but has nothing to say."
"But now this traitor in the Chu State may act again at any time. This person is very harmful to the Chu State. If the doctor really wants to serve this country faithfully, how about working with Ran to find him out?"
Li Ran seemed indifferent to Shen Wuyu's doubts.
After all, Shen Wuyu is a dignified gentleman. As the saying goes, "It is easy for a gentleman to do things but difficult to say; for a villain, it is difficult to do things but easy to say."
He knew very well that Shen Wuyu was dissatisfied, but he would never put the country's security at risk because of it.
Then, as long as everyone has the same goal and is like-minded, everything else will become secondary.
Hearing what Li Ran said, Shen Wuyu could only remain silent for a moment.
Of course he didn't want to continue to be used by Li Ran, but he couldn't let this spy continue to harm the Chu country.
After a long while, he looked at Li Ran and said:
"Wu Yu is willing to work with Ming Gong to find this person, but I would like to ask Ming Gong to make it clear to Wu Yu if he has any plans in the future, so that Wu Yu can make preparations in advance."
This can be regarded as setting rules for Li Ran.
Li Ran also agreed very readily.
When Li Ran was about to leave, Shen Wuyu suddenly said:
"Wuyu, there is one more thing that I have always been curious about."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Li Ran, who had just been about to stand up, sat down again.
"It is rumored that Duke Ming and the King only have three agreements. Once the agreement is completed, Duke Ming will leave."
"In this way, Wu Yu seems to think that these things about our Chu country have nothing to do with Ming Gong. But why is Ming Gong so concerned about it? He even plots so much secretly for our Chu country? Could it be that this
Is this also the agreement between Ming Gong and the king?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shen Wuyu looked at Li Ran with confusion.
After he finished speaking, Li Ran's face couldn't help but be slightly startled.
He knew that Shen Wuyu's question was a good question. If his deeds could be passed down, future generations would definitely study this issue.
So after some thought, he still said in a rather casual tone:
"This matter is not an agreement with the king, but a voluntary act."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Shen Wuyu became even more suspicious.
Just listen to him continue to ask:
"Ming Gong has already made an agreement with the king, but now he has interfered deeply in the affairs of our country of Chu. Wu Yu really doesn't know what Ming Gong's plan is."
"If Ming Gong is forced to stay in Chu State just because of the agreement with the king, then I would like to ask Ming Gong not to interfere in the affairs of Chu State in the future."
"But if...Ming Gong is really planning for Chu State, then I also ask Ming Gong to stay in Chu State in the future and contribute to the great cause of Chu State."
"However, now that Mr. Ming is so unclear, Wuyu thinks that this is definitely not the way of a gentleman."
Shen Wuyu's words directly struck Li Ran's heart. Although these words were direct, they were actually not unreasonable.
It's like two people falling in love. You said you don't like each other from the beginning. It's just a show of love. Sooner or later, you will leave. But you turn around and care about the place meticulously. You even greet each other every day. This is not disrespectful.
Is it appetizing?
And this kind of approach makes the other party rely on you, but in the end they can only watch you leave. Doesn't it have the smell of "a scumbag who always starts messing up but ends up giving up"?
Shen Wuyu suspected Li Ran because of Li Ran's behavior.
Of course, the more important thing is that he also sincerely hopes that Li Ran can stay in Chu State.
After all, Li Ran's resourcefulness was indeed far beyond anyone he knew.
Li Ran's plan for the Chu State also enabled the Chu State to win three major battles in just one year, which can be said to be a moment of great power throughout the world.
For such a man who knew everything about his plans, Shen Wuyu planned for the Chu State, so he naturally did not want Li Ran to leave like this one day.
