Chapter 708 Meng Sunhejis little thoughts
In fact, the reason why Li Ran decided to go to the Fachengyi was, on the one hand, to complete the last step of the Fachengdu, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find something for himself.
As Gong Eryue said, both of them need to be calm.
And if Li Ran was allowed to stay in the mansion and calm down, he would rather go out and work hard. This was not to evade responsibility, he just hoped that both parties could slowly try to accept each other.
Li Ran sighed again:
"Zhongni, the success or failure of the three capitals is here! Chengyi is in the north, adjacent to Qi State, and Gong Lianyang had written correspondence with Qi State in advance. What I really worry about is this!"
"Tian Qi is a treacherous person, how could he easily miss such a good opportunity to tease right and wrong? I guess this person will make trouble again!"
When Confucius heard this, he nodded and promised:
"Well... what I said is very true! Qi has always been incompatible with our Lu State. The last time at Jiagu, Qi did not take any advantage. Tian Qi's temperament will definitely not give up. This is what I thought of with Qiu!"
At this time, Li Ran couldn't help asking:
"When... when will Zhongni go to set out?"
Confucius replied with a slight smile:
"The faster the better, but my benefactor... I don't know when it will be convenient?"
Li Ran waved his hand:
"Haha, I can't help but do this. Without further ado, Zhongni can quickly assemble the three armies, and then the king issued an edict to go to Chengyi together!"
Confucius also said when he got Li Ran's words:
"Qiu was relieved to say this. In fact, Qiu had already agreed with the Three Huans and could set off in three days..."
Before Confucius finished speaking, he saw Chu Dang walking to the door with a big thorn:
"Lord, Meng Sun He Ji asks for a meeting!"
When Confucius heard this, he frowned. He wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by Li Ran:
"Haha, Zhongni doesn't need to avoid it. She can let Meng Sun know that this incident of falling into the city was planned by you and me. In this way, it will also allow him to make a decision when he hesitates!"
Confucius thought it was true, so he nodded immediately and followed him.
Li Ran said to Chu Dang:
"Let him come here directly!"
Soon, Meng Sun and He Ji came to the living room and saw Confucius sitting upright at first. He was stunned at first, then recovered and saluted Li Ran and Confucius.
"I have met the respected teacher and Mr. Ziming!"
As the master, Li Ran immediately stood up and supported Meng Sun and He Ji.
"Why do you need so much politeness to be so polite? Li Ran is discussing the matter of Chengyi with Lingshi. You are the right time to come! Come on, sit down!"
Meng Sun and He Ji were a little uncomfortable, but soon recovered, holding a book in his hand and said:
"The student has a letter here, written to Gong Lianyang. He originally wanted to let the teacher read it, and after it was revised, he would give it to the respected teacher. Now that the respected teacher is here, please read it together."
Li Ran understood that this was actually Meng Sun and He Ji who wanted to come to him to find out what kind of attitude Li Ran had.
However, Li Ran was not sure whether the words after drinking that night had reached Sanhuan's ears.
After all, there were many people present at that time. Although they were all disciples of Confucius, some of them had become retainers of the Three Huans, and those young and newly acquired disciples were not necessarily able to control their words. Therefore, the possibility of such words being spread was not small.
Therefore, Li Ran knew what he said to Meng Sun and He Ji today, so he had to be more careful.
Li Ran and Confucius glanced at the slate quickly. The general idea was nothing more than to allow Gong Lianyang to be at peace and fall into the city wall of Chengyi as soon as possible. Three days later, the army of Lu would also be ordered to come, but there was no other intention, just to urge him to fall into the city wall of Chengyi.
Li Ran and Confucius looked at each other, and Confucius closed the book.
"He Ji, what you wrote is nothing more than some official words. In my teacher's opinion, his words are still too peaceful!"
Meng Sun He Ji sighed:
"He Ji knew that He Ji was the head of the family and faced with his subordinates, he shouldn't have spoken so peacefully, but... if he was too stern, he would be afraid..."
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but sneer:
"The words are too peaceful, and it does not make you strict. Doesn't Lord Meng Sun know the truth that 'facts are better than words'? Now, both Qiyi and Feiyi have fallen into the city walls. If Chengyi exists alone, how should Shusun and Ji Sun view Chengyi at that time?"
When Meng Sun and He Ji heard this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and replied:
"At that time, it will inevitably lead to displeasure between Ji and Shusun. They will also add to Chengyi according to the emperor's order. From then on, Chengyi will be afraid that there will be no peace again."
Li Ran nodded and said:
"In fact, it's not just this aspect. It's also this Gong Lianyang... This man is deceitful and resourceful. When he defeated Yanghu in the past, it can be seen! Is Mr. Meng Sun not afraid of such retainers at all?"
Li Ran's words quietly mentioned "Yang Hu", and in a subtle way, Meng Sun and He Ji couldn't help but reminded Meng Sun He Ji of the scene when Gong Lianyang wanted to kill Ji Sunsi.
He couldn't help but tremble all over and couldn't help saying:
"What the sir said is very true, how should He Ji's wording be improved?"
Meng Sun and He Ji were asking Li Ran about his attitude on the surface, but in fact he looked at Confucius.
Seeing this, Confucius replied:
"For this first, you can write this letter and see how Gong Lianyang answers! Now the advantage lies in me, so we can adapt to the times and take action later!"
Meng Sun He Ji replied:
"No, I will send someone to send letters."
After Meng Sun and He Ji said that, he wanted to get up and leave.
Confucius reached out his hand again and hurriedly got up and said to him:
"Why do you want to be slow."
Meng Sun and He Ji turned around and stood respectfully.
At this time, Confucius told him again:
"The matter of Chengyi is of great importance. We need to work together and never be snatched by outsiders. Why did you understand?"
"So, He Ji must not make any decisions..."
When Meng Sun He Ji heard this, he hurriedly bowed:
"Why do you dare to respect your teachers? What's more, this is the king's intention. Respecting your teachers is also working day and night for the country and the people. Why don't you dare to have two hearts?!"
After Meng Sun He Ji said that, Confucius helped him up and asked him to retreat.
Then, Confucius turned around and said to Li Ran:
"Mr., since this is the case, we made an agreement on this. In three days, we will set off. Please prepare early!"
After watching Meng Sun and He Ji take his leave, Li Ran was silent. After a long time, he said:
"Chengyi is crucial to the Meng family, and there is no traitor to think it is harmful. I'm afraid... Meng Sun He Ji's attitude is still unstable! Zhongni must pay more attention! There is also the situation in Qi State, we need to know in time if there is any abnormal movement. Otherwise, if you are caught off guard by then, it will be very unfavorable!"
When Confucius heard this, he bowed and replied:
"No! Qiu Zi will send someone to investigate the Qi State. As for Meng Sun and He Ji, although Qiu has not seen any clues, please don't worry, and Qiu will pay more attention to him!"
