In fact, Zhao Yang did not have the best conditions and environment among the people Li Ran assisted.
Whether it was King Chu Ling, who Li Ran was forced to assist, or Wang Zichao, who took the initiative to surrender later, when they found Li Ran, they all had great potential!
But they all ended up in destruction.
As for Lu Zhaogong, Li Ran considers him the most regrettable one.
As for Zichan, Shusunbao, Kongqiu and others, although they can be said to have achieved small success due to Li Ran's efforts, on the one hand, as ministers, many things cannot be controlled by themselves. And just
The influence of the country in which it is located is too weak to radiate to the general trend of the entire world.
It wasn't until Li Ran saw the rising star Zhao Yang that Li Ran broke out of the confinement of the thinking of this era. He revived the Jin Dynasty as the Qing clan, and then shocked everyone, and the world was once again
Return to peace.
At the feast, everyone was happily drinking and composing poems.
Only Li Ran, under the influence of alcohol, felt melancholy and couldn't help but stand up and chant:
"The millet is separated, the seedlings of the rice are moving forward and backward, and the center is shaking. Those who know me say that I am worried; those who do not know me say that I am asking for something. Who is this person in the long sky?
The millet is separated, the ears of the grain are moving forward and backward, and the center is as drunk. Those who know me say that I am worried; those who do not know me say that what do I want? Who is this person in the long sky?
That millet is far away, that is the reality of that grain. It is so slow and slow, and the center is like a choking. Those who know me say that I am worried; those who don’t know me say that I am asking for something. Who is this person in the long sky?"
This poem comes from [The Book of Songs].
It means that the millet is luxuriant and luxuriant, and the sorghum has just sprouted. Walking on the old ground is slow, and my mind is unsettled and sorrowful. People who understand me say that I am sad in my heart. People who don’t understand me ask me what I am seeking. Far above
God in the sky, what kind of person is this?
This poem is full of questions. He is asking the heavens, why should he cruelly take away his sacrificial music? Now that he has become famous, he feels great satisfaction in his heart, but he can't help but feel a little sense of loss.
.
After all, the most important person to him is no longer with him.
At this time, Li Ran actually thought of Gong Eryue again in his mind, and suddenly felt a sense of warmth in his heart, feeling that God didn't seem to be so mean to him.
It was not until late at night that the banquet ended. King Zhou returned to the palace with satisfaction, and Li Ran arranged for all the princes to return to the official post one after another.
When Li Ran returned to the mansion, it was already late at night. Li Ran opened the door and found Gong Eryue dozing in the room. Fan Li behind him disappeared in an instant when he saw this.
Li Ran was startled for a moment and walked to the house. Gong Eryue heard the noise and woke up suddenly. She found that Li Ran had entered the house and stood up. She said in embarrassment:
"Sir is back!"
Li Ran sighed.
"Yue'er? Actually, you don't have to wait for me! Go back to your room and rest early!"
Gong Eryue chuckled:
"At home, when has my wife been absent from my husband's daily life?"
Li Ran smiled, on a whim, and under the influence of alcohol, he approached Gong Eryue and murmured:
"Yue'er, then... don't leave tonight!"
Gong Eryue seemed to be addicted for a moment and said nothing. Li Ran reached out to hold her little hand and said softly:
"Yue'er, maybe you are worried that I will regard you as Le'er's replacement. In fact, that is not the case. Although you are very similar to Le'er, you are you. I am very clear in my heart now. Maybe I have already accepted it calmly.
I understand the fact that Leer passed away."
"So... I hope you can understand my feelings... What's more, Guang'er also really hopes that you can become her mother..."
Gong Eryue was still somewhat accommodating and didn't pull her hand back hard, but when she heard Li Ran say this, she seemed to have remembered something.
She suddenly twitched her hand, but her tone became stiff:
"Sir, please rest quickly! Tomorrow the kings and ministers from various countries will leave one after another. It will be necessary for you to send them there by then. I...I won't disturb you!"
After Gong Eryue finished speaking, she ran outside. Li Ran looked at her retreating figure and was confused for a moment.
Gong Eryue's attitude has always been an unsolved mystery. At least, Li Ran couldn't understand why she was like this.
It is absolutely impossible to say that she has no feelings for him. But since they are in love, what is the reason why Gong Eryue always rejects him?
In a strange feeling, Li Ran also fell asleep...
…
Early the next morning, Sun Wu came to ask for his resignation on behalf of Wu. Li Ran sent him to the city gate. Before leaving, Sun Wu said:
"Sir, when Wu returns this time, he may soon attack the country of Yue. After I persuade the country of Yue to surrender, Wu will come to seek refuge with you. At that time, he will only study the art of war. He may as well become a boy under your disciples!"
Li Ran smiled and said:
"Haha, let General Sun be my little boy? I, Li Ran, am not so arrogant?! But, in any case, Chang Qing is very wise to be able to retreat bravely!"
"As for Wu Zixu, he is stubborn, and it is not certain that Changqing can persuade him. If you can talk, then you can talk, but if you cannot persuade, Changqing must remember not to delay yourself because of this!"
When Sun Wu heard this, he sincerely bowed his hands and said:
"Wu understands, sir, don't worry!"
Li Ran watched Sun Wu go away until he completely disappeared, and then returned to the city.
In the next few days, the envoys from the princely states left one after another. As the eldest uncle, Li Ran naturally needed to come and say goodbye one by one.
In the end, only the Lu delegation was left.
Confucius came to Li's house as a guest many times, and the two of them talked a lot.
Confucius even tried to persuade Gong Eryue alone, but Gong Eryue still refused to listen to anyone's words.
She was able to take such meticulous care of Li Ran's diet and daily life, yet refused anyone to mention her marriage to Li Ran. Her decisive attitude was really surprising.
Kong Qiu didn't know why Bai Wong Eryue was so disgusted with this matter, so he had no choice but to say to Li Ran:
"This woman has been so strong from beginning to end. And with her attitude like this, Qiu felt that there might be some unspeakable difficulties behind it... Sir, he would have to talk to her in the future.
good."
Li Ran smiled bitterly and said:
"Now that Lao Zhongni is here, let Ran handle this matter by herself!"
Confucius shook his head:
"Hey... In the past, Qiu also saw that this woman and the noble lady looked very similar, so he thought of making a match. But he didn't expect that now it was self-defeating, adding a lot of trouble to Enfeng. Qiu...
…It’s really shameful!”
After Confucius said this, he bowed to apologize again, and Li Ran immediately helped him up and said seriously:
"Zhong Ni has good intentions, how can you say this?"
