I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 132 Meet the Sheep Tongue Again

Fame, honor, and wealth are all imaginary.

In this day and age, only rights are the first truth.

And whoever can control the people and the aspirations of the people is tantamount to whoever controls the power and whoever has the absolute right to speak.

Counting the countries in the Central Plains in detail, without exception, this is the case.And Chu State, as a totalitarian state, is even more so.

In the name of Ling Yin of Chu State, Wang Ziwei convened the alliance meeting under the banner of the Song League Covenant. On the surface, it was to fight against the Pingqiu Association, and by the way, he himself was addicted to being the overlord of the world.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that he is planning to clean up Chu's hearts and then kill his brother to usurp the throne.

This point is actually not difficult to guess.

Because, as a completely different existence from the states of Xia in the Central Plains, the state of Chu has been regicide since its establishment.

Not to mention other things, for example, King Wu of Chu, as the hero of a generation, also came from killing the king and usurping the throne.

Therefore, it is not impossible for the current Wang Ziwei to "recover" the tradition of the Chu State, and then lead the Chu State to become stronger again.

"If that's the case...then we won't be able to let him get what he wants! If this person really becomes famous at that time, and then kills the king and usurps the throne. If such a tyrannical lord really emerges from Chu, what will happen in the future? Doesn’t my country of Zheng have no peace forever?”

Thinking about this carefully, Zichan couldn't help frowning again.

Wang Ziwei wanted to do something in Chu State, but he could do nothing.

What he can do now is to try his best to persuade the state of Jin not to participate in the Guodi meeting, and only in this way can the state of Zheng be saved from disaster.

"In this way, after arriving in the state of Jin, it is better to go to Shu Xiang for help first, ask his opinion first, and then decide how to lobby the Marquis of Jin."

Zichan thought about it again, and said to Li Ran.

In fact, in the past, Zheng Guo often jumped between Jin and Chu.Therefore, the relationship between Zheng State and Jin State is not very close, and it can even be said to be a little distant.

In recent years, although Zichan has been trying to get close to Jin, he did not dare to directly anger Chu State, so he has always maintained a considerable distance from the Liuqing of Jin State.

But Li Ran is different, he and Yang Tong He, Han Qi, they all conspired together.

In addition, Yang Tong Li has always been very important to Li Ran, so it is obviously most appropriate to visit Yang Tong Li first and ask for his opinions and suggestions.

Li Ran nodded immediately upon hearing the sound:

"No, of course I will do my best."

When the two of them agreed in this way, it was considered settled.

"Oh, by the way, Ziming, there is one more thing, I wonder if you heard about it? Shu Niu has already arrived in the State of Lu, and now he is a servant under the Ji family."

After talking about one thing, another thing followed.

But listening to Zichan's tone, it seems that he doesn't care much about this matter, and just treat it as a small talk.

"Hey... I didn't expect my brother to really go to the Ji family of Lu State."

Of course, Li Ran had gotten the news long ago, after all, his connection with his uncle's family had never been broken.Besides, as a pedestrian of Zheng State, he is also generally aware of many big and small things in Lu State.

It's just that he has been secretly in touch with Shusunbao, so it's not easy to bring this kind of thing up on the table.After all, he is now a pedestrian of Zheng Guo. If such a thing is revealed, it will inevitably be suspected of cheating.

So he should be more cautious.

When Zichan heard the sound, he didn't care too much, and just continued:
"The Ji family of Lu State, Shu Niu, and the people of Qi State are all mixed together, and now Fengduan has brought the prince in again. This situation is really getting more and more exciting."

From aiding the country to defending the country to getting sick in Zhengyi, Zichan always felt that behind these things there was an invisible hand pushing secretly.

Although he didn't know who it was, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

When he released Shu Niu back then, his purpose was actually to play hard to get, trying to figure out who is behind this Shu Niu?Even if it's just Feng Duan and Si Hei, then he can collect evidence and take them down in one fell swoop.

But now, as Wang Ziwei came to Zhengyi to welcome his relatives, he convened an alliance meeting in the name of Ling Yin of Chu State.More and more disturbances ensued.Therefore, even if he is as experienced as him, he can't help but feel a little powerless.

"It seems that everyone is in this game of chess."

Li Ran raised his head and looked towards the east outside Che Yu, which was in the direction of Lu State, with far-reaching but sharp eyes.

He feels more strongly than Zichan, because he knows far more than Zichan.

……

Ten days later, Zichan and Li Ran finally arrived in Jiang.

This journey was surprisingly smooth, without any incidents.Even when passing through Guodi, he just met the Chu people face to face, without any disturbance.

Of course, Wang Ziwei is currently busy preparing for the Guodi meeting, and he has to put on a gesture of tolerance, which is also an important reason.

On the second day after they arrived in Jiang, Zi Chan and Li Ran went to Yang Tong Gai together.

Yang Tongue suddenly heard that Zichan and Li Ran were coming to visit, and he was really overjoyed.

Ever since the robbing of Qi's food, Li Ran's safety has always been his concern.After all, he was the one who started this matter, so he should be worried about it.

Seeing Li Ran appearing in front of him safe and sound this time, he was very happy, and hurriedly ordered people to hold a banquet in the hall, to cleanse Zi Chan and Li Ran.

"Oh, Brother Uncle Xiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Uncle Xiang is more and more energetic."

"Brother Zichan laughed, what's the matter? Come, come, I have ordered someone to set up a banquet, especially for the two of you."

When Zichan heard this, he couldn't help but politely declined:
"Brother Uncle Xiang is too polite, there is no need to meet the wind. Ziming and I are here this time because we have important matters to discuss."

Seeing that the date of the Guodi meeting was getting closer and closer, Zichan didn't have time to drink, so he immediately declined Yang Tongue's kindness.

And Li Ran, who was on the side, couldn't help bowing his hands, nodded and said:

"Uncle Xiang doctor, this matter is really important, please forgive me."

Hearing the sound, Yang Tongue guessed about seven or eight points, and immediately backed away.

"The reason why you came here this time is for the prince to besiege and convene an alliance meeting in Guodi?"

When there were only three of them left in the hall, Yang Tongue then asked.

This news has now spread all over the world, how could Yang Tongji, as the top doctor of the Jin Kingdom, not know?

"Uncle Xiang brother speaks quickly, then he will no longer hide it."

"I don't know what Uncle Xiang thinks about this meeting in Guodi, and what is the reaction of the court of Jin?"

The purpose of Zichan's coming here is to find out the attitude of the state of Jin, and to lobby the Marquis of Jin to ensure that the Marquis of Jin will not attend the meeting in Guodi.

Therefore, the attitude of the sheep's tongue is particularly important, because the sheep's tongue is their only reliable ally at present.

"Jin and Zheng have been friends for many years, although Xi and brother Zichan don't often move around, but with Ziming here, I don't need to lie to brother Zichan."

"To be honest, the old man does not agree with this matter."

Yang Tongxue's trust in Li Ran has gone from working together at the beginning to talking about everything now.

The main reason is that after experiencing the robbing of Qi's food, they can be said to have shared adversity through space.Although there was no communication between the two of them, their respective handling was surprisingly tacit.

So in front of Li Ran, he had nothing to hide.

"Goodbye to brother, uncle! Qiao thinks so too."

Hearing that Yang Tongxun agrees with himself, knowing that this time is [-]% sure, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
