I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 244 Chapter 279 Chapter 280

That night, Li Ran and Zichan discussed in detail the possible civil strife in Zheng State after Zhu Fangcheng was broken and Qingfeng was captured alive, and what preventive measures should be taken.

In fact, Zichan has a lot of experience in this area. After all, he has seen too many tricks behind the scenes during his years in Zheng Guo.

However, the reason why he attaches so much importance this time is because he knows that the forces behind Feng Duan's connection this time are by no means simple.Among them, the most critical person is undoubtedly:
"Vertical cow!"

"How to solve the vertical bull?"

Zichan knew very well that once Fengduan caused chaos, Shu Niu would definitely be his pawn.

Since Jixian was able to find out in Zhengyi that Shu Niu wanted to collude with Feng Duan again and made some moves, could it be that Zichan, who is the Minister of State, didn't hear anything?

This is obviously unreasonable.

Zichan also learned of the connection between Shu Niu, the Ji family of Lu State, and Zheng Yifeng from other channels.

"Doctor, please rest assured, if this time does not go as expected, Shu Niu will come to seek revenge on me."

"At that time, there is no need for a doctor to take action, and it will be taken care of naturally."

Whether it's Ji Sun Yiru or Shu Niu, Li Ran knows them well.

From his point of view, both of these two people have "undying hatred" with him, so if they want to take the opportunity to make trouble, then the primary target must also be him.

If Shu Niu came directly to seek revenge on him, then Li Ran couldn't wish for it.

After all, Li Ran is not what he used to be today.Back then, when he had no money or power, he could still fight with them.Now Li Ran also wants money and people, how can he be afraid of Shu Niu?

"Yi Ziming's ability is naturally safe. If you are afraid, you will be afraid..."

In the past, whenever he heard Li Ran's well-thought-out remarks, Zichan would feel extremely at ease.

But this time, for some reason, he felt that Li Ran seemed a little blindly confident.

However, knowing that Li Ran has made such an arrangement, it is unknown that there must be some reason behind it.

What's more, after all, Shu Niu is the Jishi's person, and it is obviously suitable for Li Ran, the Jishi's housekeeper, to clean up the house.

"Well, since Ziming said so, Qiao is relieved."

"However, Qiao still has one thing to say. Ziming must keep in mind: When seeing a wicked person, he must do what a farmer does to weeds. Weeds should be cut off at their root, so that they cannot grow! Therefore, when you cut it off, you must cut it off. Hesitate!"

Zichan naturally knew Li Ran very well, and he was also very clear about his weaknesses.That's why he was somewhat worried that Li Ran's "heart of benevolence" would make him miss another good opportunity.

After all, Shu Niu is a person who sacrificed his family. Once Li Ran remembered the kindness of offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he might let Shu Niu survive again. So, just in case, he had to remind him like this.

But who knows that Li Ran smiled when he heard the sound, and said disapprovingly:
"Hehe, the doctor is worrying too much. There is a sense of propriety in the matter of erecting a bull."

In fact, Li Ran knew very well that the reason why Shu Niu had to be let go in Zhengyi was because of the sake of sacrificial ancestors on the one hand, but also because Shu Niu could not die at that time.

At that time, it was for the long-term, that they were convinced of the deeds between Lu Guoji's family and Zheng Guofeng's family.

But the current situation is already different, so there is no need to consider other things in the future.

After hearing this, Zichan was relieved a little, showing a little relief.

"By the way, is there someone from Song Kingdom?"

Li Ran asked suddenly.

This time, the state of Lu has already decided not to come to the meeting of applying for the land, so the only one that has close ties with Qingfeng is the state of Song.

"Song Kingdom? There seems to be no news yet."

Zichan shook his head, not sure.

After hearing this, Li Ran fell into deep thought again.

Qingfeng, as a key breakthrough for the forces behind the Ji family of Lu State, the Hua family of Song State, and even the Zheng Guofeng family, to pry open the vertical cow, the absence of the Ji family of Lu State is enough to show that they really have ghosts in their hearts.

And if Song Guo didn't come, it would mean that his previous guess was completely correct.

But once this happens, it is obvious that Lu Hou's situation will become very difficult.

Of course, Li Ran didn't tell Zichan about these troublesome things. After all, these are the affairs of Lu State, and they have nothing to do with Zichan directly.

……

The next day, Li Ran got another message that Song Guo had already decided to send people to attend the alliance meeting.

Moreover, three big figures from the Song Kingdom came here this time, namely Prince Zuo, Xiang Xu and Hua Feisui.

Song Prince Zuo, whose surname is Song Prince, named Zuo, is the son of the present Song Jun (Song Pinggong).

The State of Song may not have been outstanding in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, and many people may only have heard of this country.Even if he had some understanding, it was probably limited to the battle of Hongshui.The only ones that are well-known to people are probably only Song Xianggong's benevolence, righteousness and morality, and one of the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period" with a false name.

But actually?The State of Song was relatively active in this era.In particular, the two "Alliance of Elimination of Soldiers" successively, it is said that Song Guo single-handedly facilitated it.

As an intermediary between Jin and Chu, he has won decades of peace for the entire Central Plains.

And the Prince Zuo in front of him, who was later Duke Song Yuan, is actually worth mentioning.

It is said that the important official positions of the Song State at that time, like the countries of the Central Plains, were all held by Shiqing.

But as time went by, the conflict between Jun Qing became more and more intensified.Even though everyone is clearly relatives, but this kind of family relationship, which is already very weak, can be said to be of little effect in the face of such a situation.

Thus, there was the subsequent "Huaxiang Rebellion".

The so-called "Huaxiang Rebellion", in simple terms, is a series of struggles around the supreme power between Song Yuangong and the Hua and Xiang clans.

The most worth mentioning is that in the end it ended with the complete victory of Song Yuangong, who is now the son Zuo.

Among them, the most talked about is that although Song Yuangong is the king, he actually exchanged protons with Hua Hai, Xiang Ning, and Hua Ding, who are the courtiers.

If we say that in this era of disintegrating rituals and music, it is not uncommon for countries to exchange protons.

But do you dare to believe that the monarch and his ministers proton each other?
With this kind of script, even the screenwriters of the later era would not dare to write it like this, but Song Yuangong relied on this kind of coquettish operation, and in the end he was soft and stubborn, endured the humiliation, and insisted on saving his own children.

Moreover, in the end, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and directly killed the protons of Hua and Xiang.And drove Hua Hai, Hua Ding and others out of Song State. (For the convenience of everyone to understand, these two people are called Hua A)

And it was this incident that made Prince Zuo (Song Yuangong) bear the infamy of breaking the oath.

But at the same time, what is even more worth mentioning is that Song Yuangong also relied on such means to complete the only case in the late Spring and Autumn Period, where the monarch successfully killed Quan Qing.

And this "feat" also successfully interpreted what is meant by the most reasonable saying "a wise king does not hang his anger".

As for Xiang Xu and Hua Feisui, it has been said before that the alliance of eliminating soldiers was facilitated by Song State.And the initiator of this oath was Xiang Xu in front of him.

So in short, Xiang Xu's reputation is very good. Although he is only the chief minister of the Song Dynasty, as the two superpowers at that time, both sides wanted to sell him some face.

Chapter 280

At the meeting of Shen Di, three big figures from Song State came, namely Prince Zuo (later Duke Song Yuan), Song State's Zuo Shi Xiang Xu, and Sima Hua Fei Sui.

I finished talking about Prince Zuo and Xiang Xu before, and finally I will focus on Hua Feisui.

Hua Feisui also came from the Hua family of the Song Dynasty, and as the Sima of the Song Dynasty, he was the third person after the left master Xiang Xu and the right master Hua Hai.

But the difference between Hua Fei Sui and Xiang Ning and Hua Hai who later rebelled is that Hua Fei Sui has always been loyal to the monarch and the country, and has high morals (please keep this character set in mind, for easy memory, call it Hua B).

It was also this person who later helped Duke Song and Yuan attack the Hua and Xiang families, causing Hua Hai, Hua Ding and Xiang Ning to flee to Chen. (Hua B helps the monarch fight Hua A)

But the problem is that in the Spring and Autumn period, all the powerful and powerful must have many descendants, and the Song Dynasty is a country where the aristocratic family is in power, so the generations of the aristocratic descendants are innumerable.

Hua Feisui had three sons, the eldest son Shao Sima Huazhuo, the second son Yushi Hua Duoliao, and the third son Hua Deng.

Among his three sons, the third fled to the state of Wu. (Hua B internal strife, Hua Yu B1, Hua Duoliao B2)

Hua Yu, who was in a hurry, hijacked Hua Feisui, summoned the exiled Hua and Xiang tribes, and launched a rebellion. (Hua B1 instigates Hua to revolt against A)

The next story is very exciting.

The Hua and Xiang rebels marched forward all the way, until Duke Song and Yuan stayed in the capital and did not dare to come out, but the Hua and Xiang rebels couldn't get in for a while.At this time, Hua Deng, who was in exile in the state of Wu, persuaded the king of Wu and dispatched an army to support him. (Hua AB1 united with Wu State to attack Song Dynasty)

Immediately afterwards, Qi State was also involved, and as a result, a civil strife in Song State gradually evolved into a war between the Qi-Song coalition forces and Wu State. (Hua B2 United Qi State)

After several twists and turns in the war, the Wu army invaded Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and Song Yuangong completely collapsed and was about to run away immediately. (Hua AB1 wins)
Then, a cook (Pu) appeared on the stage, he wrapped a severed head in his skirt, pretended to be Hua Deng's head, and shouted while running, Wu Jun heard the news, but in turn collapsed on the spot and became a mess , and was subsequently killed by the Qi and Song coalition forces, and was defeated in the end. (Hua B2 wins)
As a result, Song Yuangong saved his last face and was not driven out of the country by the rebels. (Hua B2 Qin Wang has meritorious service)

And the name of this cook, Pu, was engraved in history in this way, and it can be compared with the little soldier surnamed Zhang when the Mongols attacked the Song Dynasty and the Battle of Diaoyu City in later generations.

But is this the end of the story?

No no no, obviously not yet.

Although the Hua and Xiang rebels were defeated, Hua Deng was not stupid. He packed up the remnants and defeated generals, and quickly regrouped, intending to make a comeback.

At this time, the Jin State insisted on pulling the younger brothers Cao Guo and Wei Guo to participate. (Hua B2 pulls to Jin State)

This time, the five major countries all participated in the civil turmoil in Song Dynasty one after another.

Then came the climax of the stage.

Hua Yu sent people to Chu State to move reinforcements. When Chu State heard that there was a bargain, which was in line with the wishes of their successive kings to drink horses in the Yellow River and dominate the Central Plains, they immediately sent troops to support Hua Xiang's rebel party. (Hua AB1 came to Chu State to help)

Then the most interesting scene happened.

The two countries, Wu and Chu, originally had mortal enemies, but they stood on the united front because they supported Song's Fahrenheit.

In addition, Qi and Jin, who were originally incompatible with each other, unexpectedly came together again in this matter.

It can be said that the entire Central Plains has been turned into a pot of porridge by this internal strife in Fahrenheit.

And because of the joining of Jin and Chu, the war has reached a stalemate.In the end, Song Yuangong had to bow his head and let Hua Xiang and others flee to Chu State as the price. This civil war, which lasted for three years and affected the whole world, came to an end. (Hua AB1 escaped unscathed, and Hua B2 made meritorious escorts)

Seeing this, I wonder if someone will find a problem.

In other words, Hua Feisui, who was hijacked by Hua Yu, seems to have never appeared since the beginning of the civil war!
Remember his personality?

Thinking about it again at this time, is this civil war in Song Dynasty, which can attract the participation of all countries in the world, not as simple as it seems on the surface?

On the surface, it seems that it is just an internal strife in Fahrenheit.But actually?In the end, the Xiang family was squeezed out, and the Hua family took the sole control of the Song Dynasty.Moreover, another "rebel party" was able to retreat unscathed.

This is the end result.

Well, it's almost time to eat the melons in the back, so let's get down to business.

In fact, Song State was not far from Shendi, but because Hua Fei made some mistakes on the way and deliberately slowed down the progress of the Song State Mission, Song State was actually the last one to arrive.

So, the king of Chu was very angry, and the consequences were very serious.

You were a small country of Song, and you helped Zhong Liguo's Qingfeng to deal with our Chu country at the beginning, but now you are deliberately procrastinating when you come to join the alliance, what's the matter?Is it a little tidy?

The king of Chu, Xiongwei, was originally domineering. Seeing the state of Song making fun of him time and time again, how could this be tolerated?

Therefore, on the second day after the Song State mission arrived in Shendi, the King of Chu immediately called a group of ministers to discuss how to give Song State a disarm.

"Everyone, the Song people are really deceiving people too much! If you don't show them some color, how can our country of Chu be the leader of the world?"

The meaning of the king of Chu is actually very simple. The mere state of Song is not worth mentioning at all. If even such a small country, Chu, can't "educate" it, what's the point?
Wouldn't the "dominance of the world" that Chu State boasted about become a joke?
No, I have to deal with him, I have to deal with him severely!
Now that the people from Song Kingdom have come, don't even think about running away!

However, where is there an impenetrable wall in this world?Such a serious situation finally reached the ears of Zichan and Xiang Xu.

When Zichan heard that the king of Chu was going to attack the three of Song, he couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly led Xiang Xu to find Li Ran.

Thus, Li Ran also met Xiang Xu, the Zuo Master of the Song Dynasty who played a pivotal role in the history of the Song Dynasty, and even in the entire history of the Spring and Autumn Period.

In fact, speaking of it, this was not the first time Li Ran had seen Xiang Xu.The first time they met was at the Guo League meeting a few years ago.

It's just that Xiang Xu, who hadn't seen him for a few years, now in his fifties, looked older, with wrinkles on his face, gray beard and hair, thin eyes and thick lips.

And his old face may be related to his traveling around all the year round.

After all, these years of running around, exposed to the wind and the sun, and without sunscreen or anything, it's no wonder that you don't look old.

"Li Ran, Zheng Xingren, has seen Master Xiang Zuo."

"Free of courtesy, free of courtesy! Ziming's name, Xu has already heard about it, and seeing him today, he is really a good-looking talent, a good-looking talent!"

In fact, Xiang Xu was considered to be Li Ran's grandfather, but he still called himself "Xu" in front of Li Ran, which showed that he really admired Li Ran from the bottom of his heart.

The three greeted each other for a while, sat down, and then went straight to the topic.

"Ziming, the king of Chu intends to embarrass the people of Song Dynasty, have you ever heard that?"

Zichan asked first, and Li Ran immediately nodded.

"Of course I've heard about it, I think the doctor and Master Zuo are here today for this purpose?"

Li Ran naturally guessed the intention of the two of them.

Seeing Xiang Xu stroking his beard with one hand, he said rather angrily:

"The king of Chu has no eyes, is domineering and has no way, and wants to embarrass our country Song in order to show off his prestige of the king of Chu. Is it the behavior of a big country to treat guests like this?"

As a native of the Song Dynasty, it was obvious that Xiang Xu also had a lot of resentment about this matter.
