Chapter 706 The Three Huans Discussed and Fallen into Chengyi
After hearing what Confucius said, Luhou Song looked troubled.
"Before, the battle in Liyi was so difficult, and then Feiyi's Gongshan was not fierce, and almost forced the few people into a desperate situation."
"Now Gong Lianyang of Chengyi shows no sign of rebellion. If we send troops directly, I am afraid we will force him to rebel... If so, will it be more gain than loss?"
Confucius sighed and said:
"Now the three capitals have been reduced to two, and only Chengyi is left. We must not be careless. If Gong Lianyang really has other intentions and is colluding with Qi, then won't all our previous efforts be wasted?"
"Furthermore, it is a national policy to send troops to Chengyi to supervise their actions."
Since Ji Sunsi and Shusun Zhouqiu had lost their main town and were left alone in Chengyi, they were naturally dissatisfied with this, so they also hoped to deal with Chengyi as soon as possible.
I saw Ji Sunsi taking a step forward and saying:
"What Master Sikou said is true. Your Majesty knows it clearly. I will assemble the three armies to put pressure on Gong Lianyang. I understand that he will not dare to disobey!"
Luhou Song looked at Meng Sun He Ji again. After all, Chengyi was his vassal town. Meng Sun He Ji also knew that he had to speak at this time:
"I also think that this is the best policy. Although Gong Lianyang is my retainer of the Meng family, how can I seek personal gain and protect my shortcomings? Please give me your permission."
After hearing what Meng Sun Heji said, Lu Housong nodded:
"Since the three ministers all have this intention, I have nothing to say. Now I have ordered the three armies to go to Chengyi and supervise its fall into the city!"
When Confucius and Sanhuan heard this, they both bowed and replied:
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Afterwards, Confucius and Sanhuan all left the court, but Meng Sun Heji suddenly stopped everyone and said:
"Honored Master and Your Excellencies, wait a minute, why should I say something but not know whether to say it or not?"
When the three of them heard this, they all turned around and waited for Meng Sunheji to continue speaking.
When Meng Sunheji saw this, he bowed and continued:
"This matter... after all, is my Meng Sun's family matter after all. We, the Meng family, should send people to supervise it first. If Gong Lianyang really has no treason, he might be able to fall from the city wall. That's okay.
Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds to avoid war disasters?”
After Shusun Zhouqiu heard this, he sneered:
"Master Mengsun, do you think your Gong Liyang will really listen to you? This time, Gong Liyang didn't even lead his soldiers to Qufu in person to save the troops. He didn't even come for such a big event. Do you think he was there?
What are you afraid of?"
Ji Sunsi also said:
"Yes, Gong Liyang is to your Meng family just like my Ji family's Yang Hu. Although I have been saved by him many times, I guess you know better than me what he said and did afterward.
?”
Ji Sunsi's words are indeed not groundless.
It is not wrong to say that Gong Lianyang saved the lives of Meng Sun, He Ji and Ji Sun Si several times.
At that time, Yang Hu led his army to fight with the Qi State, and wanted to use the hands of the Qi people to get rid of Meng Sun, He Ji and Ji Sun Si. At that time, Gong Liyang and Ji's general Tom Yi stopped him, and Yang Hu was unable to do so.
Succeeded.
In the final counterattack, Yang Hu wanted to kill San Huan directly. It was also Gong Liyang who knew Yang Hu's plot in advance, made full preparations, and rescued Ji Sunsi.
However, after Gong Lianyang rescued Ji Sunsi, he proposed to kill Ji Sunsi. Although this matter was extremely secretive, where in the world is there an airtight wall?
Therefore, news about this matter has been revealed a long time ago.
When Ji Sunsi learned about it afterwards, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
However, after that, in order to make peace with each other, Confucius and Sanhuan never mentioned the matter again.
But now Ji Sunsi suddenly brought up the old things again, which obviously shocked Meng Sun Heji.
Although Ji Sunsi did not say it clearly, the meaning behind his words could not be more obvious.
Shusun Zhouqiu and Ji Sunsi can't wait for Meng's Chengyi to fall. After all, their main city has no city walls, and only your Meng's has one. Is this ridiculous?
Meng Sunhe Ji looked at Confucius, and Confucius knew it well, so he tried to smooth things over for him:
"The reason why we are sending troops this time is to urge Gong Lianyang. If Gong Lianyang does what he does, then it will be the best. If He Ji can send a letter and persuade him nicely, there is nothing wrong with him.
"
Meng Sunheji nodded and said:
"In that case, I will go back to my hometown and write a letter to him! If we can really stop fighting, it will be a blessing to our country of Lu!"
Confucius said:
"Well, that's very good, but if things don't work out, He Ji doesn't have to worry too much. Whether Gong Lianyang can obey your orders now is actually beyond your control as the sect leader."
When Meng Sunhe Ji heard this, he immediately bowed and said:
"Thank you, Master, for your understanding!"
Confucius coughed dryly:
"In that case, everyone will go back, prepare military affairs, and issue transfer orders to various cities. We will meet to set off in three days!"
Everyone bowed and said goodbye, and Confucius also returned to the mansion, only to find that Li Ran and Fan Li were no longer there.
So, he immediately prepared his carriage and went to Xinglin in person.
…
Li Ran and Fan Li left Confucius not long ago. They didn't know when Confucius would come back, so they went back first.
On the carriage, Fan Li suddenly said:
"Sir, Miss Yue has been in the Li Mansion for a while, and Guang'er has always called her Er Niang. Outsiders who don't know more often call her Madam. In this case, sir, why don't you just give Miss Yue a title?
"
"If you are interested, sir, you can discuss it with Zhong Ni, and he can definitely handle the matter for you. In this way, Guang'er can feel at ease, and Miss Yue can have a home, and sir can be taken care of by his family.
, isn’t it beautiful?”
Li Ran touched his nose.
"this……"
Li Ran didn't know how to reply for a moment.
In fact, apart from the reasons mentioned by Fan Li, the most important thing is that he and Gong Eryue are already close to each other and are actually husband and wife.
So if Li Ran refused again, it would not be appropriate.
But if he accepts Gong Eryue just like that, Li Ran still has no idea in his heart.
Fan Li saw Li Ran hesitating, so he said again:
"Sir, life is short, you should enjoy yourself in the moment. "Poetry" says: 'If I am not happy now, the sun and the moon will take care of me.' In this case, why should you care too much about the opinions of others? Moreover, if my wife is alive in heaven,
, I will certainly not be able to bear my husband being so lonely."
Li Ran was silent for a moment, obviously Li Ran missed the festival music again.
After a long time, Fan Li continued:
"Moreover, Gong'eryue and Madam are so similar. Isn't this the will of God? Isn't it true that God has lowered the curtain on Sir and Guang'er, allowing Madam to change her identity to accompany Sir?"
