Zhao Yang did not delay and immediately wrote another letter. During the writing process, he asked Dong Anyu several times how to word it.
The two of them discussed together and spent nearly an hour before they were finally done.
Before Dong An left, Zhao Yang told him again:
"Luan Yu, be sure to convey my true intention to Li Ziming!"
Dong Anyu confidently said:
"My lord, please be patient, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Dong Anyu's confidence comes from his understanding and insight into Li Ran.
He believed that since Li Ran had already responded, he would most likely come out. Now it depends on how Zhao Yang will respond!
And he felt that Zhao Yang's response this time would definitely satisfy Li Ran.
…
Besides, Li Ran was still leisurely and contented. He didn't seem to care about Zhao Yang.
Seeing this, Guan Cong couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
That night, Li Ran was having dinner with Gong Eryue and Liguang, when Fan Li suddenly came from outside:
"Sir, Dong Anyu wants to see you!"
When Li Ran heard this, he just said "Oh", then put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up:
"Yue'er, Guang'er, you eat first, and I'll go out and take a look!"
Gong Eryue and Liguang both nodded, while Li Ran followed Fan Li to the front hall.
Dong Anyu was waiting inside, but because he was too anxious, he did not sit down, but paced back and forth.
When he saw Li Ran, his eyes suddenly lit up.
For the past two days, he had been wanting to see Li Ran, but now he was finally allowed to see him.
Dong Anyu bowed deeply to Li Ran, and before he could speak, Li Ran was already holding his arm with both hands.
"No need to be too polite!"
Dong Anyu said:
"Dong Anyu, the noble minister of the Zhao family of the Jin Dynasty, met Mr. Ziming!"
Dong Anyu did not address Li Ran's official position as Taishi, but called him "Mr.", and his intention was very obvious.
The purpose of his coming here this time was to get Li Ran to help the Zhao family, so he tried to avoid talking about the post of Taishi as much as possible.
Li Ran said:
"Ms. Zhao has helped me a lot in the past and even saved my life. I should have gone to express my gratitude in person, so why did I bother you to come? I am really ashamed to see you today!"
Dong Anyu hurriedly said:
"Sir is a prodigy of the world. It is only natural that my lord should come to pay homage to him!"
The two of them sat down, and Li Ran smiled and said:
"Now Zhao Zhongjun originally only had you as his humerus minister, but now you have Yang Hu as his arm. But I don't know what happened to Yang Hu now that he has surrendered to Zhao Zhongjun?"
Dong Anyu cupped his hands and replied:
"Ever since Yang Hu came to the Zhao family, he has been talking about Sir's kindness. When I came here this time, I also told me that if I see Sir, I must thank him for his life-saving grace!"
"Yang Hu is now in the lord's tent, and he can be said to be like a fish in water. And my lord also has a lot of power in Yang Hu. The lord is also very fond of Yang Hu's ability, so he is full of praise for this recommendation of Mr.
Na!"
Li Ran nodded and couldn't help but said calmly:
"Actually, I also cherish his talent. If Zhao Zhongjun can use it, that would be the best. It's just a simple effort, but it can't be said to be credit."
Dong Anyu smiled and said:
"Although it is just a small effort from the master, it is a great help to the head of the family! Just like this time I came to Chengzhou with the head of the family, it is all because of Yang Hu's presence in Jiangcheng. Otherwise, it would be like this in Jiangcheng
Who can take on this important task in such a desperate situation?"
Li Ran also smiled and said:
"Haha, I'm afraid I'm not just here to praise Li Ran, right?"
Dong Anyu heard this and quickly raised his hands and said:
"The letter from the head of the family... I must have read it, Mr. Guan Ziyu. After hearing the news from Ziyu, the head of the house also had a lot of insights!"
"Sir, you have a great ambition, which is extraordinary! In fact, the master of the family is not the same! Therefore, the master of the family specially asked me to come here to reply to the master, the master of the family... is willing to take on this important task!"
Li Ran knew that Dong An had already had a showdown with him.
Moreover, he and Zhao Yang obviously understood his good intentions:
"Good! I already understand Zhao Zhongjun's intention!"
Dong An was overjoyed and immediately took out the letter written by Zhao Yang from his sleeve.
"This is written by the head of the family himself, please sir, please read it."
Li Ran put the letter on the table without looking at it. He just smiled and said:
"Since Zhao Zhongjun has this ambition, then I have to ask him to come in person. At that time, I, Li Ran, will definitely tell Zhao Zhongjun about this good recipe for 'helping the world'!"
Dong Anyu quickly stood up and bowed:
"Okay! If that's the case, then I'll take my leave and tell the family master the good news!"
Li Ran didn't try to persuade him to stay, and just sent Dong Anyu to the gate.
Dong Anyu left in a hurry. Li Ran looked at his leaving figure and smiled slightly with his hands behind his back.
Fan Yang was watching from the side. Seeing that Dong Anyu had gone away, he stepped forward and said:
"Sir, it's cold at night, so you'd better go back to the house early!"
Li Ran finally came back to his senses:
"Oh, young uncle! Just follow me to the front hall and wait!"
Fan Li followed Li Ran to the front hall, and Li Ran ordered Fan Li to remove the water:
"If nothing unexpected happens... Zhao Yang should be here soon."
When Fan Li heard this, he was not surprised:
"Sir, is this Zhao Yang really the master you have been seeking for many years?"
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but sneered and replied to Fan Li:
"What is the 'Ming Lord'? Is it the Son of Heaven? Is it the princes? It seems that it is neither of them! Today is a time of great strife. Whoever can bring peace to the world can be the Lord of the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, I am now a minister.
If the Tao serves the king's affairs, if the world can really be brought to peace, wouldn't it be okay?"
"Now what Li Ran is asking for is not from his person, but from his way! If the suffering of the people in the world can be pacified, even if it is obtained through the way of ministers, why not? Now Zhao Yang is asking me three times. This is my
It’s about etiquette! First, teach the great righteousness, secondly, conduct yourself as a person, and only then can you serve as a ruler!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing Li Ran speak so generously, Fan Li also knew that he had firmly established his ideal of "supporting the world together with virtue".
"It is true that as Mr. Yang said, we now have a thorough understanding of this Zhao Yangling. In addition, Mr. Zhao is following his instructions and is good at teaching him. If we want to use this method to bring peace to the world in the future, it will definitely be a good idea!
"
Li Ran couldn't help but nodded and said:
"In the past, I, Li Ran, only knew him, but I didn't know how to teach him. Therefore, although I intended to assist the Ming Lord, I was ultimately dissatisfied! As the saying goes, 'The way of heaven is constant, but people's hearts are changeable.' This time I met with Zhao Yang
, let’s see how I can seduce his sincerity!”
Fan Li nodded and said:
"Sir, then...do I need to do anything?"
Li Ran thought for a while.
"You don't have to do anything. Just prepare a can of water and some snacks, and then go to the gate to wait for him! This time, I'm afraid I will inevitably have to have a long talk with Zhao Yang."
Fan Li responded and prepared water and snacks, then arrived at the gate.
In less than half an hour, Fan Li saw a horse riding Juechen approaching at the gate, almost charging too far ahead, and then he reluctantly stopped the horse.
Fan Li saw clearly that the rider was none other than Zhao Yang!
Zhao Yang was seen riding alone, and he didn't care about attracting the attention of the patrolling soldiers. He quickly ran through the city. And because his speed was so fast, he almost overran his head.
Fan Li also rushed forward to hold the horse's rope, but Zhao Yang looked anxious and shouted to Fan Li:
"Thank you, brother! I'm going to see Mr. Ziming now! This horse is working hard!"
Zhao Yang rushed into the gate without waiting for Fan Li's reply.
When Fan Li saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head and sneered.
