I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 135 Sophistication Lingtai Palace

Of course, the seating arrangement arranged by the Marquis of Jin for Zichan and Li Ran was not random, and its deep meaning is self-evident.

The so-called bad name means bad words. Of course, the Marquis of Jin understands that if he wants to use others as the key to adjudicating this matter, he must elevate their status to a certain level first.

The court meeting officially began.

The biggest question in today's court discussion: whether or not Jin should participate in the Guodi meeting.

Participants: Marquis of Jin and his group of civil and military courtiers, and of course Zheng Guo's Zi Chan and Li Ran.

The initiator of the topic is Zhong Jun Zuo Hanqi:

"Chu wants to form an alliance with Guo. The matter is of great importance. Now the envoy of Chu has been in for three days. How should I make a decision? I would like to ask you to show me."

Han Qi is a typical mentality of not being offended by both sides. What he said is concise and clear, that is: what should we do about this matter? You are the boss, and you can do it by yourself. .

Marquis Jin naturally disliked such a work attitude.

But this is exactly the helplessness of the Marquis of Jin.He was obviously upset, but he still couldn't say it out and criticize him, let alone change people if he wanted to, he could only endure all this silently.

So, he turned his attention to Yang Tongue, who has always been in charge of diplomacy.This was what they discussed last night.

"Your Majesty, I thought that the people of Chu deceived me too much! They even threatened to form an alliance in Guodi. This move can be said to treat me as nothing in the state of Jin!"

"Your Majesty, I think that this is absolutely impossible!"

"On that day, Wu Ju, the envoy of Chu, was extremely arrogant and domineering when he was enjoying the ceremony. If according to what he said, my departure from Jin State would not directly become the foil of Chu State?"

The picture of Wu Ju's brazen words is still deeply engraved in the minds of all the officials.Hearing Yang Tongji's impassioned words at this time, everyone was excited for a while.

Don't think about it, just refuse it.

It doesn't matter if you are Xiong Chu or Man Chu, and it doesn't matter if your Prince Wei is Ling Yin or King Chu, there is no way for us Jin to serve you as a foil!
In this regard, the Marquis of Jin certainly agreed.

But in order to show his appearance of being united in the Jin Kingdom, he naturally had to ask the opinions of all the ministers on this matter.

On the one hand, it is also necessary to demonstrate the wiseness of its monarch, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to share the responsibility.

"What do you think?"

As his gaze swept across, a mighty sweeping wind rose in Jinhou's heart.

Seeing it through, he still hopes that these courtiers can still read it as "same roommates" and jointly maintain the last twilight of the domineering Jin Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I think what my uncle said to the doctor is very true. Chu State has always been arbitrarily domineering and has many disagreements with our Jin State. This time at the Guohui alliance, it is obvious that we have not taken our Jin State seriously. It is really an insult to me. Jin."

"That's right, if I go to the alliance, I'm afraid it will make me laugh, and I'll become the laughing stock of the world from now on! I think I'm determined not to go!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

There are quite a few ministers who object to going, and most of them are ministers of the humerus of Jin who have the same ambition as Yang Tongue.

"I object to this!"

"The alliance between Chu and Guodi was named after the alliance of Song Dynasty. The time and place are favorable. If my state of Jin hesitates to move forward, it would be ridiculous and generous!"

"My minister agrees!"

There are quite a few people who are in favor of going to the meeting, and they have good reasons for going to the meeting:

An overlord should have the spirit of an overlord. Since it was agreed at the time of the Song League that both Jin and Chu would be the lords of the alliance, how can there be any reason to go back on it?If this is the case, wouldn't it seem that our Jin country is too petty?

As a result, the two sides insisted on their own opinions and argued fiercely.

This is not the first time Li Ran has seen such a famous scene.After all, this scene is very similar to the scene where in his era, the councils of various towns were arguing over trivial matters.

It's just that it was the first time he saw such a battle.

There are many officials in Jin State, and each has its own family.After the two sides stood on the side, they began to spray each other.

But the noise is the noise, and the words are still many levels higher than the keyboard warriors of the later generations.

Moreover, each of them is quoted from many sources and scriptures. At this moment, knowledge and obscurity can be said to be fully revealed.

But herein lies the problem.

Everyone has similar knowledge, skills are not bad, and the principles are also the same.Say it straight, say it the other way around, whatever you say makes sense.So, after all, no one can convince anyone.

Therefore, this "difficult" problem finally fell back into the hands of the Marquis of Jin.

The decision is always with him.

Jin Hou saw that the two sides were almost quarreling, so he turned his eyes to Zichan and Li Ran logically, and said:
"Although I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, I have often heard that Li Ziming is famous for his great talents. In the current world, it can be said that no one can match it."

"Since I came here today as envoy Zheng, I think there must be some high-level discussions."

According to the script that had been negotiated a long time ago, it was Li Ran's turn to perform and speak at this time.

Li Ran got up when he heard the sound, and bowed to the Marquis of Jin, and then to the officials of Jin, with a calm expression.And tidied up his clothes, and said loudly in the hall:

"Your servant heard that the alliance between Guo and Prince Yin, who was ordered by Chu, was meant to be in Pingqiu! A few years ago, the state of Jin called a meeting of princes in Pingqiu. Let us punish the crimes of Chu together with a letter of appeal! This is a fact known to the world."

"Nowadays, the state of Chu is convening an alliance in Guo. If Jin participates in the meeting, how will it deal with the princes from all walks of life who have "jointly punished the sins of Chu"? Not long after the meeting in Pingqiu, the state of Jin has repeated it like this. Wouldn't it be broken by then? To the princes, and to lose faith in the world? Let me ask, how dare the princes of the world trust the Jin State in the future? How dare they only look up to the Jin State? This is one of them.”

"Since King Wen of Chu, King Cheng, and King Zhuang, the heart of strengthening Chu to the north can be said to be clearly revealed. The alliance of eliminating soldiers was promoted as the leader of the alliance with Jin. There is a saying in the alliance of Song Dynasty that apart from Qi and Qin , all the vassal states will pay tribute to the state of Chu. Thinking of him, the state of Chu is a barbarian, but now he dares to touch the Central Plains. Such a wolfish ambition, how can he do what he wants? If Jin participates in the meeting this time, it will definitely encourage his domineering At that time, if you really want to fight again, you will go north, and the battle in the Central Plains will start again, and the flames of war will be like a sudden. The smoke of gunpowder will be like a cloud, and the people will be burned. If this is the case, the world will be in danger! This is the second."

"The third one is related to Wang Ziwei."

"The prince surrounds this man. He is domineering and arrogant. He is arrogant and arrogant. He has always been hated by the people of the world. Now he is holding an alliance in Guoyu and inviting all the princes of the world to go. If Jin goes, he will indulge his evil. Then at that time , Is there any reason not to go to such a small country? Then if I go to such a small country, wouldn’t it be in vain to encourage this person’s arrogance? There is a saying in "Book of Business": "Evil is easy, like fire." Burning fire in the original place, it can’t be used anywhere, but it can still be extinguished?’. If the evil of Prince Chu’s siege can’t be extinguished this time, this person will really bring disaster to all the countries in China in the future. Just ask the present state of Jin, and help the tyrant to abuse What's the difference?"

"Besides, if the prince besieges this person, it will be a serious disaster for the Jin Dynasty in the future! Please think twice about the relationship between the king and all the ministers."
