I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 40 Ji's Dilemma
Speaking of Han Qi's behavior, the consistent code of conduct is that everyone can make money with harmony, and everything can be discussed.

Although the things that the Ji clan gave him were indeed a bit shabby compared to what the Zheng Guoji clan gave him.But because of this, he will not necessarily help Shusun Bao completely destroy the Ji family.

After all, to bring down other people's Ji family is tantamount to exterminating other people's family.Their Han family, in terms of family inheritance, has never been able to do such a thing.

Back then, the Zhao family's big family had experienced the difficulty of going down to the palace, and it was almost extinct.But Han Qi's father, that is, Han Xianzi, stood up and fought hard to keep the Zhao family from becoming extinct, and raised his only son Zhao Wu.And this only son is now Han Qi's boss, the famous "Orphan of the Zhao family" - Zhao Wu.

Therefore, the reason why the Han family can survive until now and appear to be so harmless to humans and animals is that in the final analysis, they basically don't do those terrible things.He has always been a peacemaker who has something to talk about, and by the way, he can get some benefits from both sides.This is the way of the Han family.

Greedy yet sleek, and greed itself is an excellent "harmless to humans and animals" decoration.

But now the problem came, Jin Hou personally came forward and detained Ji Sunsu.All the calculations in his heart were in vain, and now the relationship with Lu Guoji's family was completely frozen.

What's more deadly is that he received Ji's gift, even though he received it secretly, but once he is confessed by Ji's grandson and thoroughly investigated, then at that time, if the political opponents among the six ministers detain him Putting on the hat of secretly colluding with foreign officials can really play big.

Hearing Marquis Jin calling him, Han Qi was dripping with cold sweat for a while.

The Marquis of Jin's eyes were still calm, from the generous statement he made just now when recalling his ancestor's hegemony, to the anger he expressed when facing Ji Sunsu for ignoring his status as the leader of the Jin Kingdom, and finally when he dragged Ji Sunsu down calm.

At this moment, there was no wave in his heart.There was no expression on his slightly pale face, he just looked indifferently at Han Qi who was kneeling on the ground.

"How is Zhao Qing's condition?"

No one expected that Marquis Jin would ask Zhao Wu again at this time.

Even Li Ran, who had been standing on the sidelines from a distance, couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Could it be that Marquis Jin really intends to move Han now?

You must know that Zhao Wu is still the current general of the Jin Kingdom, and Han Qi is just acting as the second-in-command to handle the state affairs on Zhao Wu's behalf. Son.

At this time, Marquis Jin asked about Zhao Wu's situation, which seemed to be telling Han Qi: Don't forget your identity.

Li Ran was a little puzzled. Although he could understand that the Marquis of Jin wanted to use Ji Sunsu's incident to frighten the six ministers of Jin, it was completely unreasonable to move Han Qi now.

What's more, the power of the six ministers restrains each other, and one hair can move the whole body.If Han Qi, the most docile of the six ministers, is really moved today, will the Marquis of Jin still have good fruit to eat in the future?I'm afraid that the tragedy of Duke Li of Jin will happen again.

"Reporting to the Lord, Zhao Wu can already walk around in the ground. I think he will recover soon and return to the court to participate in politics."

At this time, Han Qi did not dare to speak nonsense, and hastily reported the truth.

Hearing the sound, Marquis Jin nodded slightly, a stern look flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting.After a while, he said calmly:

"Then, the next thing is to trouble Han Qing."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.Everyone is now waiting to see how Marquis Jin's big sword will fall, but who would have expected this sentence to come.

After Jinhou said that, he turned around slowly, and left under the respectful eyes of the crowd.

And the Pingqiu meeting ended like this, seemingly in a nonsense manner.

Jin Hou just left, said something, got angry, dismantled a table, then patted his buttocks, and left.

If we say that Han Qi came here to go through the motions today, it would be better to say that the Marquis of Jin is really here to go through the motions. At this time, everyone recalled what the Marquis of Jin said just now, and they just felt dazed.

Jin Hou seemed to have said something, but he didn't seem to say anything.The fear in their hearts also dissipated at this moment, and instead, a sneer at the declining state of Jin emerged.

Yes, Ji Sunsu was detained, but he asked for it.If he didn't think he was a senior minister of Lu, the Marquis of Jin wouldn't dare to do anything to him.If you have to gamble your luck in front of the Marquis of Jin, how can the Marquis of Jin just say that you will detain him?

Therefore, Ji Sunsu's fate can be said to be completely self-inflicted. The other princes and officials are not so stupid, so naturally they will not hit the gun of the Marquis of Jin again at this time.

In this way, what the Marquis of Jin said just now, in their ears, seemed to be equivalent to not saying anything.

Seeing this situation, Li Ran couldn't help but have dark lines on his face. He just shook his head and sighed:

"Knock the mountain to shake the tiger, knock the mountain to shake the tiger, this mountain is knocked, but this tiger, I'm afraid it's a 'bluff'..."

Li Ran also returned to Jiang first.

The meaning of his staying in Pingqiu is not great anymore, after all, he is just a guest official, although he has planned everything for this alliance, but in the final analysis, he can only be a spectator.

Ji Le came back with him, but just as the two of them returned to the post, Ji Le was called out by a servant.

Li Ran guessed that most of Ji Le's family members had found her whereabouts, so he sent someone to tell her to go back. Ji Le has been away alone for more than half a year, and this time he finally met her family members in Jiang. Can you justify it?
As a result, the posthouse became a little deserted.

Marquis Lu has already returned to the State of Lu, and now Ji Le is going to see her family again, and Sun Wu is having a great time fighting there again.Right now, only Li Ran and Sun Ju are left here staring at each other, which can be described as boring.

But he was bored for only one day, and the next day he was sent to go by Yang Tongue.

Arriving at Yang Tong Lu's house, Li Ran was chatting with Yang Tong Lu about the meeting in Pingqiu, but unexpectedly Han Qi came to visit.

"Oh, Han Zhongjun, what wind brought you here?"

Yang Tongue was very satisfied with Han Qi's performance at the Pingqiu meeting this time, so he treated Han Qi with a sense of gratitude at this time. It is not so easy to be detained in Jin State.

"Huh? Who is this?"

Han Qi, who had just entered the door, saw Li Ran and asked immediately.

Yang Tongue hurriedly introduced to him:
"This is Lu Guo Keqing, Li Ran and Li Ziming, the former Luoyi keeper of the Tibetan history."

"By the way, a year ago, Han Zhongjun went to Luoyi to pay homage to the Emperor Zhou at the order of the lord, so he should have met Ziming once. Did Han Zhongjun forget it?"

During that mission, the State of Jin appointed Han Qi to pay homage to Zong Zhou, with sheep tongue as his entourage.Speaking of it, there should indeed be a relationship.

It's a pity that Li Ran at that time was not the current Li Ran, and Han Qi at that time was not the current Han Qi either.In addition, the meeting between Han Qi and Prince Jin was hasty, so Li Ran who was behind Prince Jin would not be noticed.

At this time, after listening to Yang Tongue, Han Qi suddenly remembered, nodded and said:

"Exactly, alas, look at my memory!"

"Li Ran met Han Zhongjun."

Li Ran bowed at the right time.Han Qi hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands and said:
"Zi Ming has come from a long way, and when he arrives in the Jin country, he will be our distinguished guest from the Jin country. Come, please hurry up."

At this time, Li Ran's identity was the guest minister of the State of Lu. He used to be the keeper of the history of the Tibetan room in Luoyi. Although his official position was not very important, but in this era of emphasizing talents, his knowledge and strategy were enough to make people in power like Han Qi flock to him.

After all, he also heard that there was a doorman behind Shu Sunbao who had been advising Shu Sunbao all the time, and his shadow was indispensable behind the plot against Ji Sunsu this time.Seeing the real person at this time made him very respectful.

The three of them sat down, and Yang Tong asked about Han Qi's intentions.

At this time, Han Qi came in and saw these two people, and he completely understood that Li Ran and Yang Tongxue were clearly in the same group.And the reason why Yang Tongue suddenly asked him to do those things before, now that I think about it, Li Ran probably planned the layout from it.So right now, he has nothing to hide from Li Ran.

So he immediately said:
"Although Ji Sun Su was detained today, the lord did not say how to deal with this person."

"If this continues in the long run, I'm afraid the princes will not accept it."

After all, Ji Sunsu is still the Shangqing of the Lu State, and you still have nothing to do with the Shangqing of others, which is not a problem anyway.

The most important thing is that the purpose of detaining Ji Sunsu this time is to ask the Ji family to return the cities and territories of Ju and Zhu.Then once Ji Shi did as he did, wouldn't it be unreasonable for you to continue holding onto Ji Sunsu?

Therefore, the purpose of Han Qi's visit today is to discuss with Yang Tongue. If the Ji family really returns the territory of the city, how should Ji Sunsu be dealt with at that time? is.

Hearing this, Yang Tongue immediately turned his eyes to Li Ran. He looked at Li Ran's face, and seeing that Li Ran didn't intend to express his opinion, he immediately looked sideways and said:
"The fate of a king is not a joke. If the Ji family does not return the land of Ju and Zhu, then Ji's grandson will not be able to return it for a day. And right now, even if the Ji family can repent and return the city to the two countries, But it can’t be settled so easily.”

In fact, the last time Li Ran asked Yang Tongue for help, he had already anticipated the situation and made careful arrangements.

At that time, Li Ran had already made it clear: even if the Ji family returned the cities and territories of Ju and Zhu, Ji Sunsu would never be easily released back to the Lu State, and the Ji family would have to pay a painful price for it!
Yang Tongue knew that Li Ran intended to weaken Ji's power in Lu State so that the Lu State Office could be revived.Of course he readily agreed, after all, he is also a person who wholeheartedly wants to revitalize the office and restore rites and music, so he is a fellow with Li Ran.

Han Qi was startled when he heard the sound, and said in surprise:
"Oh? But why?"

Yang Tongue looked at Li Ran and motioned for Li Ran to speak.

Seeing this, Li Ran immediately bowed his hands to thank him, and then bowed to Han Qi again. After getting a response, he opened his mouth and said:

"At this meeting in Pingqiu, the princes saw with their own eyes that Ji Sunsu regarded the Song alliance as nothing, so he angered the Marquis of Jin. It is one thing to invade and occupy the cities of Ju and Zhu, but it is not to anger the Marquis of Jin in public. It’s another thing, and the two must never be confused.”

"If only because the Ji family returned to Ju, the cities of the two countries would release Ji Sunsu back, then what will be the face of the Marquis of Jin? Where is the hegemony of the Jin State?"

"So I would like to ask Han Zhongjun to be clear. Even if the Ji family returns the city, it will make the Ji family dare not have a heart of contempt for the public office in the future. It must be severely punished to serve as an example!"

"Of course, in my humble opinion, the Ji family will definitely do whatever it takes to get Ji's grandson back. Han Zhongjun can negotiate with the Ji family, and Han Zhongjun can also decide on the scale."
