I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 121

Hearing that Prince Ling Yin from Chu State came to welcome the bride in person, Li Ran suddenly felt something was wrong, and immediately asked the leading guard to come in and pay his respects.

And the warrior heard what Li Ran said was reasonable, and he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while, so he turned around and reported it.

At this time, seeing Li Ran's delay in returning, Ji Le couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he rushed over from the manor wearing a bamboo hat and tulle.

"husband"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ji Leyu saw Li Ran in the crowd and was about to speak, Li Ran stopped her with his eyes.

And motioned her to step aside, then he also pulled out and came to her side, and whispered to her:
"Ma'am, the background of these people is really not simple. It is Prince Ling Yin of Chu State who personally greeted the bride! It is said that the one who came to marry is the daughter of Feng Duan, but after thinking about it, I am afraid that this is not the case. Simple."

"Ling Yin of the Chu State? Marry the daughter of the Feng family?"

When Ji Le heard it, he was stunned. Where is this going? They are completely incompatible people. How could they get married?

"That's right, Feng Duan and the prince of Chu are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of miles. How could they get married for no reason?"

"Furthermore, except for a few accompanying maids, the wedding party is all dressed up as warriors. I have heard that the Chu people are tough. Don't look at the mere 2000 men and horses here, but once they enter the city, they will start fighting. Even with 2 people stationed there, I'm afraid they are no match for them."

As he said that, Li Ran glanced at the "welcoming team" stationed on the official road now without any trace.

"For my husband, I heard from Dr. Zichan that Fengjuan, the son of Fengduan, was kicked out of the state of Zheng because of the field hunting and trespassing by Dr. Fengjuan the year before last. So not long ago, this Fengduan planned for Dr. Zichan Zheng Yi was poisoned to avenge it. And now, Feng Duan is planning to marry Chu State with great fanfare, and this matter is probably far from as simple as we imagined."

How about this?

Fengjuan, styled Zizhang, son of Fengduan.

It turns out that Zichan's reform and new policy started two years ago, and the nobles in Zheng State resisted Zichan's reform fiercely.

And Fengjuan acted as a pawn.

That was the year before last, before Li Ran came to Zhengyi.

Toyojuan asked to expand the scope of field hunting without authorization for the purpose of offering sacrifices, but Zichan refused.Fengjuan was furious and prepared to rebel against Zichan with his own soldiers.

And what is reflected behind this is actually far from being as simple as it appears on the surface.

Who is Fengjuan?Toyodan's son!

Fengjuan wants to rebel, that is a banner!And what he represented, besides the Feng clan, naturally included all nobles whose interests had been damaged.

After Zichan learned about this matter, he knew it was difficult to deal with, so he didn't insist on it. Instead, he took the method of retreating and running in the field.

As the Minister of State, he resigned only because of this matter.As a result, an uproar was immediately set off in the country of Zheng.

At this time, thanks to the chief minister, Hanhu, who turned the tide at the critical moment, stood up to support Zichan, and settled the matter. Instead, Fengjuan was expelled from the country for trespassing.

Even if his father is Feng Duan, who is the third in command of Zheng Guo, he can't stop all this.As a result, the Liangzi relationship between Zichan and Fengduan was completely concluded.

And this incident can also be regarded as the reason why Feng Duan deliberately killed his son several times.

But for Zichan, fortunately, Li Ran's timely arrival helped him to easily dismantle Feng Duan's conspiracy one after another.Not only has the overall situation of Zheng State been considered, but the reform of Zichan is still in progress.

Therefore, now Feng Duan intends to marry Prince Yin, Prince Wai of the State of Chu, and the State of Chu came to welcome the bride with such great fanfare. How dare Li Ran, who has insight into the past, not be more careful?
"My husband means that Dr. Feng Duan may have colluded with the state of Chu in order to..."

At this point, Rao Jile also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately covered her little mouth in a little panic.

Li Ran nodded slightly, and then looked calmly at the welcoming team of Chu Kingdom behind him.

"Madam, you go back to the city first, and tell Dr. Zichan about this matter as soon as possible, so that he can immediately step up the defense of the city and strictly guard the capital."

Now that the matter has come to this, Li Ran has no other choice.

Ji Le was a little flustered at this moment, she nodded and was about to go back, but the next moment she suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Ran.

"Well, what about you?"

Yes, Jiyue has returned to Zhengyi, where is Li Ran?What is he going to do?

"Don't worry, my husband will naturally have to meet Prince Chu for a while."

Li Ran took a deep breath, and his expression remained calm.

"What if..."

"It's okay, he hasn't entered the city yet. Then he can't do anything to me. After all, I'm also a pedestrian of Zheng Guo, the son-in-law of the Ji family. Even if he conspired with Feng Duan, it's not appropriate to expose him too early at this time."

"Don't worry, your husband has his own measure."

Li Ran made up his mind, since this incident happened to him, it was his duty to do so.

Hearing the sound of Ji Le, although he was still worried, but knowing that the matter was of great importance, he had to turn his head and go straight.

And at this moment, the warrior from Chu State also left and returned, and came to tell Li Ran that Yin wanted to invite him.

So, under the leadership of the warriors, Li Ran passed through one layer after another of heavy guards, and came to the middle of the welcoming team.

On a colorful carriage, a middle-aged man dressed in fancy clothes was sitting upright. He was wearing the crown of Yin of the State of Chu on his head and a jade belt around his waist. His eyes were like torches, exuding a strong heroic spirit.

And when he stood up, even Li Ran couldn't help being stunned.

Seven-foot man, seven-foot man, this time he really saw it.

The height of more than two meters instantly compared all the warriors around him, and when he stood up, the welcoming team, without exception, all knelt down in unison.

More than 2000 people knelt down at the same time, and the majesty was truly spectacular.

That's right, this person is none other than Ling Yin of the current state of Chu, the elder brother of the king of Chu, Jia Ao, and the second son of the king of the Communist Party of Chu——Wang Ziwei.

It has been more than 100 years since King Wu of Chu, Xiong Tong, became king, and in the days since then, the Kingdom of Chu has grown stronger and stronger after several generations of heroes.

Therefore, the heroic spirit that has always flowed in the bones of Chu people makes them easily distinguishable from other countries at any time and anywhere.

So, let alone the current Prince Wai.

As a well-known king in the future, his image and temperament are even more "superior".

Li Ran looked at Wang Ziwei in front of him, and the artistic image of "King Zhou" that he had seen before suddenly appeared in his mind.

If the two of you were born in the same era, then you are really equal.

"Bold! How dare you not kneel when you see Master Ling Yin!"

Just when Li Ran lamented Wang Ziwei's fate in the future, the guards around him had drawn their swords out of their sheaths, and the sound of shouting angrily woke him up.

Hearing the sound, Li Ran hurriedly bowed and said:
"I'm Li Ran, a traveler from the state of Zheng, and see Master Chu Lingyin."

In the final analysis, Wang Ziwei is only Ling Yin now, and his status is basically equal to that of Zhao Wu and Han Qi of Jin.With such an identity, it is indeed not enough to make him kneel and kowtow like a Zheng Guoxing.

"Hehe, you are Li Ran?"

The prince watched Li Ran condescendingly, with disdain on his face.

Li Ran's reputation has long been spread all over the world, since he is the Minister of Chu, how can he not know it?
But in his eyes, Li Ran seemed to be nothing more than that.

　Original text of "Zuo Zhuan":
　　Fengjuan will sacrifice, please Tian Yan.Fu Xu said: "Only the king uses fresh, and the public gives it." Zi Zhang was angry, retired and conscripted.Zichan went to Jin Dynasty, Zipi stopped and chased Fengjuan.Feng Juan rushed to Jin.Zichan asked his field, and returned after three years, but turned his field and entered Yan.

　　——"30 Years of Xianggong"

　　Translation: Feng Juan prepares sacrifices and asks for sacrifices.Zichan refused, saying: "Only the monarchs use the newly hunted wild animals for sacrifice, and ordinary people only need roughly enough." Fengjuan was angry, and after quitting, he summoned the soldiers.Zichan was about to flee to the state of Jin, but Zipi stopped him and expelled Fengjuan.Fengjuan fled to the state of Jin, and Zichan asked not to confiscate his farm and house. Three years later, he asked Fengjuan to return to the country for restoration, and returned his farm and house and all his income to him.
