When it comes to Han Qi's character, his consistent code of conduct is that everyone can make money by being harmonious and everything can be discussed.
Although the things Ji gave him were indeed shabby compared to those given by Zheng Guoji. But because of this, he would not necessarily help Shusun Bao to completely defeat the Ji family.
After all, destroying other people's Ji family is tantamount to exterminating other people's clan. The Han family, judging from family inheritance, has never been able to do such a thing.
At that time, the Zhao family experienced the difficulty of leaving the palace and was almost extinct. Han Qi's father, Han Xianzi, stood up and fought hard to save the Zhao family from extinction, and raised his only son Zhao Wu. And this only son is now Han Qi's boss, the famous "Zhao Orphan" - Zhao Wu.
Therefore, the reason why the Han family can survive to this day and appear to be so harmless to humans and animals is that they basically do not do those extreme things. He has always been a peacemaker who has something to talk about, and by the way, he can get some benefits from both sides. This is the way the Han family deals with things.
Greedy yet tactful, and greed itself is an excellent decoration that is "harmless to humans and animals".
But now the problem came. The Marquis of Jin personally came forward to detain Ji Sunsu. All the plans in his mind came to nothing, and now the relationship with the Ji family of Lu State was completely frozen.
What's even more fatal is that he has accepted gifts from the Ji family. Although he accepted them secretly, once Ji Sunsu confesses and is thoroughly investigated, then if the political opponents among the six ministers detain him If you are labeled as secretly colluding with foreign powerful officials, you will really get into trouble.
When the Marquis of Jin called him, Han Qi broke into a cold sweat.
I saw that the eyes of the Marquis of Jin were still very calm, from the impassioned speech when recalling the hegemony of his ancestors, to the anger he expressed when Ji Sunsu ignored his status as the leader of the Jin Kingdom, to when he finally dragged Ji Sunsu down. The calmness.
At this time, there was no turmoil in his heart. There was no expression on his slightly pale face, he just looked at Han Qi who was kneeling on the ground indifferently.
"How is Zhao Qing's condition?"
No one expected that the Marquis of Jin would ask about Zhao Wu again at this time.
Even Li Ran, who had been watching from a distance, couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Could it be that the Marquis of Jin really plans to attack Han now?
You must know that Zhao Wu is still the current Central Army General of the Jin Kingdom. Han Qi is just serving as the second-in-command to handle state affairs on Zhao Wu's behalf. If Zhao Wu's condition improves, Han Qi, the Central Army Assistant, will only run errands for Zhao Wu. Son.
At this time, when the Marquis of Jin asked about Zhao Wu's situation, he seemed to be telling Han Qi: Don't forget your identity.
Li Ran was a little puzzled. Although he could understand that the Marquis of Jin wanted to use Ji Sunsu's incident to frighten the Six Ministers of Jin State, it was completely unreasonable to move Han Qi at the moment.
What's more, the power of the six ministers restrains each other, and a single move can affect the whole body. If Han Qi, the most docile among the six ministers, is really touched today, will the Marquis of Jin still have good fruits to eat in the future? I'm afraid that the tragedy of Duke Li of Jin will happen again.
"Reporting to the Lord, Zhao Wu is already able to walk around. I think he will recover soon and return to the court to participate in politics."
At this time, Han Qi did not dare to speak nonsense and hurriedly reported the truth.
Hearing the sound, the Marquis of Jin nodded slightly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting. After a moment, I heard him say calmly:
"Then, Han Qing will have to worry about the next thing."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Everyone was now waiting to see how the Marquis of Jin's sword would fall, but who could have expected that this sentence would come.
After saying this, the Marquis of Jin slowly turned around and left under the respectful gaze of everyone.
And the meeting in Pingqiu ended like this.
The Marquis of Jin just left, said something, got angry, broke down the stage, patted his butt, and left.
To say that Han Qi was here to go through the motions today, it would be better to say that the Marquis of Jin was really here to go through the motions. At this time, everyone felt dazed when they recalled what the Marquis of Jin had just said.
The Marquis of Jin seemed to have said something, but he seemed to have said nothing. The fear in their hearts also disappeared at this moment, and instead, a touch of ridicule of the Jin Kingdom's increasing decline emerged.
Yes, Ji Sunsu was detained, but he asked for it. If he hadn't thought that he was the top minister of Lu, the Marquis of Jin would not have dared to do anything to him. If you have to gamble your luck in front of the Marquis of Jin, how can the Marquis of Jin seize it just because you want it?
Therefore, it can be said that Ji Sunsu's fate was entirely self-inflicted. The other princes and officials were not so stupid, and naturally they would not hit the Jin Hou's gun at this time.
In this way, in their ears, what Jin Hou said just now seemed to be the same as not saying anything.
Seeing this situation, Li Ran couldn't help but have a dark look on his face. He just shook his head and sighed:
"Knocking on the mountain will shock the tiger, knocking on the mountain will shock the tiger, this mountain will knock, but this tiger, I'm afraid it's just a 'bluff'..."
...
Li Ran also returned to Jiang first.
The meaning of his stay in Pingqiu is not big anymore. In the final analysis, he is just a guest. Although he is planning everything for this alliance, in the final analysis, he can only be a spectator.
Ji Le came back with him, but as soon as they returned to Guanyi, Ji Le was called out by a servant.
Li Ran guessed that Ji Le's family had probably found her whereabouts, so he sent someone to call her back. Ji Le had been alone for more than half a year. It was hard to meet her family this time in Jiang. What if she didn't go and meet her? Can it be justified?
As a result, this hotel became a little deserted.
The Marquis of Lu had already returned to the State of Lu. Now Ji Le went to see her family again, and Sun Wu was having a great time fighting there again. Right now, only Li Ran and Sun Su were left staring at each other, which was quite boring.
But he was only bored for one day, and the next day he was sent to have someone call him.
Arriving at Yang Yanji's house, Li Ran was chatting with Yang Yanji about the Pingqiu meeting, but unexpectedly Han Qi came to visit.
"Oh, Han Zhongjun, what brought you here?"
Han Qi's performance at the Pingqiu meeting this time made Yang Tongue very satisfied, so he treated Han Qi with a sense of gratitude at this time. After all, if it weren't for Han Qi's tacit approval, Ji Sunsu would have It is not so easy to be detained in Jin State.
"Huh? Who is this?"
Han Qi, who had just entered the door, saw Li Ran and asked immediately.
Sheeptongue hurriedly introduced him:
"This is the guest minister of the State of Lu, Li Ran and Li Ziming, the former keeper of the Tibetan Chamber of Commerce in Luoyi."
"By the way, a year ago Han Zhongjun went to Luoyi to pay homage to the Emperor of Zhou on the order of the emperor. It seems that he had a relationship with Ziming. Did Han Zhongjun forget it?"
On that mission, the State of Jin appointed Han Qi to pay homage to Zong Zhou, and he was accompanied by Yang Tongui. It sounds like there must have been a chance encounter.
It's a pity that Li Ran at that time was not the Li Ran of today, and Han Qi at that time was not the Han Qi of today. In addition, the meeting between Han Qi and Prince Jin was very hasty, so Li Ran behind Prince Jin would not be noticed.
At this moment, Han Qi suddenly remembered what Yang Tonguo was talking about, nodded his head and said:
"Exactly, oh my, look at my memory!"
"Li Ran has met Han Zhongjun."
Li Ran bowed in time to greet him. Han Qi hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands:
"Ziming has come all the way to the Jin Kingdom. He is our distinguished guest from the Jin Kingdom. Come on, please get up quickly."
At this time, Li Ran was a guest minister of the State of Lu, and was the former guardian of the Tibetan Chamber of Commerce in Luoyi. Although his official position was not very important, in this era that valued talents, his knowledge and strategy were enough to make people in power such as Han Qi flock to him.
After all, he also heard that there was a retainer behind Shusunbao who had been giving advice to Shusunbao, and his shadow was also indispensable behind the plot against Jisunsu this time. Seeing a real person at this time naturally made him very respectful.
The three of them sat down, and Yang Tongue asked Han Qi the reason for his visit.
At this time, Han Qi came in and saw these two people, and he finally understood that Li Ran and Yang Tongue were clearly in the same group. The reason why Yang Yanji suddenly asked him to do those things before, now that I think about it, it was probably Li Ran who planned it. So now, he has nothing to hide from Li Ran.
So he immediately said:
"Although Ji Sunsu is detained now, the monarch has not stated how to deal with this person."
"If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid the princes will not accept it."
After all, Ji Sunsu is still the Shangqing of the Lu State, and you are holding on to someone else's Shangqing to no avail. This is not a big deal anyway.
The most important thing is that the purpose of detaining Ji Sunsu this time is to require the Ji family to return the cities and territories of Ju and Zhu. So once the Ji family complied, wouldn't it be a bit unjustifiable if you continued to hold Ji Sunsu captive?
Therefore, the purpose of Han Qi coming here today is to discuss with Yang Tongue. If the Ji family really returns the territory of the city, how to deal with Ji Sunsu at that time, whether to release or detain Jisunsu, he must give the Lu State an explanation. That's it.
After hearing this, Yang Yanji immediately turned his attention to Li Ran. He looked at Li Ran's face and saw that Li Ran had no intention of expressing his opinion. He immediately looked sideways and said:
"The fate of a prince is not something to be trifled with. If the Ji family does not return the land of Ju and Zhu for a day, then Ji Sunsu will not be able to return it for a day. And now, even if the Ji family can regret their mistakes and return the city to the two countries, But it can’t be ended so easily.”
In fact, the last time Li Ran asked Yang Tongue for help, he had already anticipated the upcoming situation and made careful arrangements.
At that time, Li Ran had already made it clear: Even if the Ji family returned the cities and territories of Ju and Zhu, Ji Sunsu would never be able to easily return it to Lu. The Ji family would have to pay a heavy price!
Yang Yanji knew that Li Ran intended to weaken the Ji family's power in the Lu State so that the Lu State's royal family could be revived. Of course he agreed happily. After all, he was also a man who wanted to revitalize the office and restore etiquette and music. He and Li Ran were of the same mind.
Han Qi was startled when he heard the sound and said in surprise:
"Oh? But why?"
Yang Tongue looked at Li Ran and motioned for Li Ran to come.
Seeing this, Li Ran immediately bowed his hands to thank him, and then saluted Han Qi again. After receiving a response, he said:
"At this meeting in Pingqiu, the princes saw with their own eyes that Ji Sunsu regarded the Song alliance as nothing, so he angered the princes of Jin. It was one thing to invade the cities of Ju and Zhu, but to anger the princes of Jin in public was It’s another thing, and the two must not be confused.”
"If the two cities of Ju and Zhu return Ji Sunsu just because the Ji family has returned it, then where will the honor of the Marquis of Jin be? Where is the status of Jin's hegemon?"
"So I would like to ask Han Zhongjun to learn from this. Even if the Ji family returns the city, we must prevent the Ji family from having the heart to despise the officialdom in the future. We must severely punish them to serve as a warning to others!"
"Of course, in my humble opinion, Ji will do whatever it takes to get Ji Sunsu back. Han Zhongjun can have a good negotiation with Ji, and the Han Zhongjun can also decide on their own."
