Prince Chao was overjoyed to hear this and said with a smile:

"In that case, let him come in! I want to reward him greatly! By the way, there is still a vacancy in the position of Sikong, so let's make him Sikong!"

Nangong Hao looked happy.

"Your Majesty is wise, I will go and ask Duke Gan to come and have an audience."

Nangong Hao stood up and went out. Li Ran took a step forward. He could no longer remain silent at this moment. Even if Prince Chao was in a good mood, he still had to pour cold water on him.

"Your Majesty! It may not be a good thing if Duke Gan comes to surrender today!"

The prince was startled:

"Isn't it a good thing? Doesn't this just mean that Shan Qi has betrayed everyone and is unpopular with others? This is really a good thing, how can it be said that it is not a good thing?"

"It is still unclear whether Mr. Gan is sincere in coming here. It seems that people like this can be allowed to live here temporarily, but they must not be entrusted with important responsibilities!"

"If I don't reuse it, how can other people who are waiting and watching sincerely come to invest? Sir, you are thinking too much!"

When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head sadly:

"Your Majesty, back then King Ling of Chu built Zhanghua Terrace to welcome the dead from all over the world, but he was eventually deceived by him. Today, I am also recruiting surrender and rebels in the same way. I am afraid that I will be harmed by him in the future!"

Wang Zichao's expression couldn't help but change:

"If he comes to surrender this time, if Gu doesn't agree, wouldn't it be painful to be close to him but quick to enmity? Why does such a good deed turn out to be a big fallacy in Mr.'s mouth? Besides, Mr. compares Gu to a barbarian king... It would be a gaffe!"

Li Ran knew that Wang Zichao was already unhappy, but there was something he had to say:

"Your Majesty! It is said in "The Great Oath" that 'Zhou had hundreds of millions of barbarians, and they were also deviant from their virtues; the rest had ten rebellious ministers, all of whom were of one heart and one virtue'. This is the reason why Zhou died and Zhou was resurrected. Today the emperor does not care about his virtues,

I'm afraid I'm going to lose someone. It's not about the number of people, but about the quality! Although I'm lying, my heart is only what your Majesty wants! I hope your Majesty will worry more."

Wang Zichao stood up, paced back and forth, hesitated for a long time, and then said:

"Sir! Mr. Gan did have some issues with Gu before, but why didn't Gong Jian do the same? If Mr. can let go of Gong Jian, why do you want to let Mr. Gan do it for me now? What's going on, sir?

"

Li Ran knew that Wang Zichao had become suspicious of him at this time:

"Your Majesty, I think that Gong Jian was nothing more than a failure to defend the city, and even after being captured, he refused to surrender. It is indeed what a gentleman did. If he surrenders in the future, he can use it for his own purposes! But Gan Loach is a treacherous little kid.

People, he once kidnapped refugees to attack, and he has already lost the hearts of the people. Now when he sees that the situation in Shanqi is unfavorable, he is in trouble. Such villains must not be placed around... Your Majesty!"

"Okay, Sir, you really think too much! No matter how bad the Gan family is, they are here to surrender! That Gong Jian was killed by Sir. After being silent for a period of time, he is now serving Gu Na Wang's brother again. Even more so.

The flag has been raised again. When my husband let him go, I had doubts, but I trusted my husband as a person, so I agreed. Today, my husband insists on preventing Gu Zhong from using Gan Gong. Isn't it too unreasonable?"

Wang Zichao thought that Li Ran was suspected of usurping power, so he was dissatisfied and had some doubts in his polite words.

Li Ran couldn't help but feel depressed. According to his character, he should have kept silent at this moment. However, he was sincerely doing good for the prince. At this time, he could only remonstrate:

"Your Majesty... what I said is not the truth, but the way to be a king! Gan Loach drives the refugees to attack the city and escapes in the middle of the battle. This is really not what a gentleman does! The post of Sikong is in charge of city defense, and it is related to your Majesty's safety. How can you let this happen?

A treacherous person is responsible?"

Wang Zichao said in a deep voice:

"When you are appointed to an official position, you have to worry about it. There is no need to say anything!"

While talking, Gan Loach was brought in by Nangong Lao, and Gan Loach leaned to the ground.

"The guilty minister Gan Loach pays homage to His Majesty!"

"Get up, there's no need to mention the guilty minister. Let's forget about the past. From now on, there will be no suspicion between you and me, the king and his ministers. I only want to allow you to hold the position of minister! What do you think?"

When Gan Loach heard this, he sat down and burst into tears of gratitude, thanking his kindness and saying:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is kind and does not care about the sins of minor officials. Even if I am a mess, I will not be able to repay Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Seeing this situation, Li Ran was in an extremely bad mood.

When the prince saw this, he waved his hand.

"Mr. Ziming, you have worked very hard for me day and night. Please step aside and rest!"

After hearing this, Li Ran bowed and had to leave. After leaving the palace, Li Ran walked slowly, with heavy steps and a heavy heart.

Obviously, Wang Zichao could no longer listen to his words, and he was completely different from before.

Facts have proved that if a person gains power, the most difficult hurdle is himself.

King Ling of Chu was like this, and so was the princely dynasty.

Li Ran knew very well that if Wang Zichao continued to act his own way like this, it would probably be extremely bad in the future.

The events of King Chu Ling were vividly in his mind. Li Ran looked around the vast palace and recalled every detail of how he and Prince Jin had played and studied here since childhood.

Li Ran clenched his fist.

"To help the Zhou family...what does it mean if you just suffer some grievances?"

Li Ran returned to the official residence. He thought that after a while, he would be able to take Ji Le to live in Luoyi. However, due to the current situation being unclear and not wanting Ji Le to be in danger, he had to postpone it.

idea.

While Sun Wu was outside, he didn't know about the changes in Luoyi City. He still led the army to fight all the way, marching with great singing, and captured Xiayi and Xingyi one after another.

After this period of conquest, the entire Wangji territory was almost completely under the control of the princely dynasty.

When Li Ran heard the news, he was happy for Sun Wu, but he also felt a little worried.
