I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

it's night, sleepless night

Faced with Jiyue's coughing, Li Ran's heart felt like a knife was being twisted.

"Le'er, my husband is really worried about your going to the Qin country this time. How about... my husband will go with you?!"

At this moment, Li Ran felt guilty.He also wanted to leave everything behind and go to Qin with Ji Le.

When Ji Le heard this proposal, he was also quite moved.

However, after some careful consideration, she still rejected him:
"Cough...husband, you can't. Husband is a saint in this world. Husband has the world in his heart, and his heart is for the common people. How could he miss a big deal because of Le'er alone?"

"Cough... Although Le'er is a girl, she has also heard the story of Chong Er, the son of the Jin State. Back then, the son Chong'er fled in Qi State and married the daughter of Duke Huan of Qi. Xiang, actually conspired with his subordinates to smuggle Chong'er out of Qi after getting drunk. In the end, the son Chong'er also went through hardships and became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period."

"So, if my husband really went to Qin with Le'er, how would the people of the world think of my husband? How would they think of Le'er?"

"Although Le'er is not as good as Qi Jiang, she doesn't want her husband to tarnish her reputation for a lifetime..."

Indeed, even though Li Ran didn't care, but because of emotion and reason, Ji Le didn't want to do that either.

What's more, during this period, she still needs to use the "restoration technique".It can be said to be extremely dangerous, and her life is only in the blink of an eye, so why would she make Li Ran worry more?

Although Li Ran was reluctant, but after Ji Le's good words persuaded him, he did not continue to insist.

The next day, Li Ran asked Fan Li to find some maidservants and old women, and asked them to go to Qin Kingdom with Ji Le.

Coincidentally, Yang Hu also led the army back home in triumph at this time, and he also heard that Mrs. Li Ran was about to travel to Qin to seek medical treatment.

In order to express his feelings, he specially sent a hundred followers.

In this way, Li Ran can relax a little bit.

Then, he edited another letter and handed it to Yihe, hoping that he would bring it to his father who was far away in Qin.

In addition to writing about some major events in recent years, I did not forget to ask my father, Haosheng, to take care of his daughter-in-law.

……

On this day, Li Ran, Li Guang, and a group of officials solemnly sent the festival music to the outskirts of the city.

Ji Le hugged Li Guang and kept kissing her daughter's rosy cheeks.

"Guang'er, mother may be away for a while. During this time, mother will not be by your side. You must be obedient and wait for mother to come back..."

"Mother, don't worry, please take good care of yourself. My father and I are waiting for my mother to come back!"

Ji Le listened, holding back tears.

"Husband... take care of yourself, don't be too tired... and... take care of Guang'er."

Li Ran held Ji Le's hand tightly, full of reluctance, this time we parted, and he didn't know when we would meet again.

Ji Le and Li Ran met each other's eyes, silently. When Ji Le saw Wei Ye on the side of the road, he smiled indifferently, went to pick a handful, and handed it to Li Ran.

"Plucking the weeds, picking the weeds, the weaves are soft and soft. When the day returns, the heart also stops worrying. Husband, let's just say goodbye... Le'er believes that God will not be so cruel, let us part for life and death!"

Li Ran was also excited when he took Wei Ye.

"Le'er, I often ask someone to send some news back. I'm recovering from my illness. My husband and Guang'er are waiting for you to come back..."

Ji Le nodded and got into the carriage. Li Ran gave the doctor a few more words, and then the convoy left. Li Ran picked up Li Guang and watched Ji Le's carriage drift away.

Everyone has returned, but only Li Ran and Li Guang are still reluctant to leave.

Ji Le also raised the curtain of the car to look outside, and waved to Li Ran and Li Guang.

Li Guang's big eyes were full of tears, and the dried tears were faintly shining.

Li Ran, he was even more sad, and tears couldn't help but fall like rain.However, in order not to let his daughter find out, he had to cover his face secretly and wipe.

And the daughter sees all this in her eyes. Although she is young, she has always been smart, and she was separated from her parents for a long time before, so she is very clear about this.

Li Guang wiped Li Ran's tears with her small hand, but laughed instead.

"Father, mother is not in good health. When the disease is cured, we can be together again!"

Li Ran looked at the innocent Li Guang, and felt tenderness in his heart.

"Guang'er, you are right! We will be reunited soon."

Jile set off here, and they just looked at it obsessively until the carriage disappeared at the end of the road...

……

Li Ran took Li Guang back to the city.

Just after returning to the mansion, Fan Li came to look for him with a letter:

"Sir, someone from Weiguo has sent a letter!"

Li Ran took the letter, looked at it, and found that it was a letter from the virtuous uncle of Weiguo.

It turned out that under the persuasion of Gong Shufa, Wei Houyuan did not question Yang Hu for what he did, so the matter was left alone.

The reason why Uncle Gong did this was to repay Li Ran's kindness in aiding food back then, in addition to not wanting Wei Guo and Lu Guo to meet each other.

After all, when it comes to the relationship between Li Ran and Yang Hu, although it has never been made public, outsiders can still guess a thing or two.

Li Ran's name of "advocating the public office" is the most prominent "public school" today, and his ideas coincide with what Yang Hu is doing today.

Yang Hu has already been advertised by the outside world as the vanguard of "advocating the office".Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to say that Yang Hu was not influenced by Li Ran.

Uncle Gong first expressed his gratitude to Li Ran in the letter, and then stated some of his judgments on Yang Hu, and hoped that Li Ran would take care of himself and try not to get too involved with Yang Hu, so that he would get angry at that time.

After reading the letter, Li Ran let out a long sigh and asked Fan Li to take Li Guang to play first.But he found Kong Qiu, and Kong Qiu sent one person away just now.

Not long after the man left, there was still a figure behind him. When Kong Qiu saw Li Ran approaching, he said calmly:
"This person belongs to Yang Hu. Yang Hu came back this time, it seems that he intends to ask Qiu to become an official."

Li Ran glanced at the back of the man walking away.

"Then...Brother Zhongni...you agreed?"

Kong Qiu shook his head and said:
"Not yet, but... Qiu wanted to serve the country in his early years. At that time, because the Ji family was in power, Qiu also suffered from no connections. Now that Yang Hu intends to recruit, and Yang Hu advocates the government, Qiu wants to follow him. "

After hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but smile wryly.

"If Brother Zhongni does this, I'm afraid he'll drag me into the water!... In this case, wouldn't Yang Hu send someone to look for me right away?"

Kong Qiu couldn't help being taken aback, and cupped his hands apologetically and said:

"Engong, it's because Qiu didn't think carefully, I hope Engong will forgive me."

Li Ran waved his hand and said:
"It's not necessary. In fact... Yang Hu will come to find me Li Ran no matter what. It's just that he sent troops to Zheng Guo this time, and he has enmity with Zheng Wei and Zheng Wei. Yang Hu doesn't listen to good words. , although he won a small victory, he didn't know that a big defeat was coming! If he offends his neighbors like this, the future of Lu State is worrying!"

Afterwards, Li Ran continued to speak seriously:
"Although the Ji family is in great decline now, Yang Hu is becoming more and more arrogant. Moreover, Yang Hu is unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals. I am afraid that he will definitely try his best to build prestige for himself in the future. If things go on like this, maybe in the future It will be another disaster for Lu!"

"As the saying goes, 'If the state has the way, then it will be an official, if the state has no way, then it will be hidden', Yang Hu has done this, if Brother Zhongni wants to become an official, you have to think carefully!"

Confucius nodded while listening to Li Ran's words, and said:

"Sir, what you said is indeed reasonable... Thanks to Mr.'s advice, Qiu originally thought that it would be a good thing for our country of Lu that he could advocate for a public office, but he didn't understand the hidden dangers involved."

While listening, Confucius nodded thoughtfully:

"What Engong said is reasonable, and Qiu heard it as if he was enlightened! Engong, relax, Qiu can delay this matter, try not to meet him as much as possible, and wait and see how it changes!"
