After a war of words, it finally ended with Li Ran's victory. The three suggestions put forward by Li Ran were immediately implemented.
The people in Zhengyi were overjoyed after learning the news. For a time, it can be said that everyone is united. Therefore, the implementation was naturally very smooth.
As for those long-simmering grievances, they were gradually alleviated as the situation gradually improved.
A few more days passed like this, and now the city of Zhengyi finally ushered in the long-lost peace, and this so-called "disease" was finally under control.
One day, it was rare to go out on the street and leave the house after giving birth. All the neighbors gathered around the street to watch and admire. And Zichan couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he looked at everything in front of him.
However, Zichan naturally knew the best. The plague was coming fiercely and there were rumors in the city. If he hadn't received Li Ran's help this time, how could he have calmed down the matter so quickly?
Whether he is treating patients, investigating the mastermind behind the scenes, or making suggestions and final arguments, Li Ran is very organized and calm every time he acts.
Even Zichan had to admire Li Ran's talent.
Therefore, after entering the court today, he immediately recommended Li Ran to Han Hushi.
Han Hu naturally knew Li Ran's abilities, so in the end, under Han Hu's instruction, Li Ran was awarded the position of "Pedestrian".
The so-called "walkers" are the officials in charge of guests. Roughly speaking, he is a ceremonial officer who specializes in receiving princes from various countries and ministers. Somewhat similar to the so-called "diplomatic secretary" in later generations.
Speaking of which, although this official position is not big, it has no real power. However, this pedestrian position was the position closest to the center at that time. It could often be seen by the powerful ministers and even the kings of various countries. Therefore, its importance is self-evident.
From the fact that Han Hu gave Li Ran this official position, it can be seen that he has great trust in Li Ran.
After all, if you are not someone you can absolutely trust, how can you give someone else such a position that you always have to be around?
Zichan told Li Ran the news, and Li Ran had no intention of becoming an official in Zheng State. After all, he had promised Lu Hou.
But now that Han Hu's orders have been issued, he has to go up even if he can't, and he can't avoid it, so he can only kowtow and agree.
"Ziming, I know that you are benevolent and righteous, and you do things without seeking for yourself."
"However, doing some things as a white-headed person will be inconvenient after all."
"Since Ziming aspires to be the leader of the world and achieve peace and tranquility, he should naturally strive for high status and gain real power to benefit the people."
In fact, as the son of the ruling minister, why doesn't he himself have such thoughts? Therefore, he really needs a like-minded helper like Li Ran.
He even regretted not being able to win over Li Ran earlier when he was in Jin. If he could have gotten help from Li Ran earlier, perhaps his New Deal wouldn't be as difficult as it is now.
But it's certainly not too late. As long as Li Ran can stay in Zheng State and serve him, he firmly believes that with Li Ran's ability, sooner or later, Zheng State will be truly powerful, and then he will no longer have to fear the coercion of Jin and Chu.
And this intention is also the true meaning of the position of "pedestrian".
"Thank you very much for your kindness, doctor. I will definitely keep in mind what the doctor said today."
"Actually, how can you not know it? Now that you have entered the gate of power struggle, if you cannot deal with it with a correct name and have no reputation, I am afraid that your life will be precarious and you will be framed sooner or later. The doctor and the people in charge of the country will be framed. It was a good intention, but I will keep it in my heart and never forget it.”
"However, Ran Benbuyi, even in the Zhou royal family, was only a small-time guardian of the Tibetan Chamber of Commerce, and had no intention of fighting. It was just because he had been forced by others in the past two years and had no choice but to do so. If not, I'm afraid that Li Ran has already been obsessed with the mountains and rivers at this moment and has forgotten everything."
Of course Li Ran knew Han Hu and Zichan's intentions in pushing him to this position.
Although Xingren's position is not great, he can always get close to the higher-ups, that is, Hanhu and Zichan.
Hanhu and Zichan pushed him to this position, naturally they wanted to use their power in Zheng State to protect Li Ran, so that others would not dare to attack Li Ran, or dare not deal with Li Ran rashly.
This was their good intention. How could Li Ran pretend not to know?
But what Zichan said just now actually had a profound meaning.
He said that since Li Ran cares about the people, he must fight for the upper reaches and seek real power to benefit the people.
These words sounded like he was trying to persuade Li Ran to go further, and Zichan might have thought this way.
But Li Ran is extremely smart, how could he not know the principle of "taking precedence over others"?
You must know that power is the most fascinating thing in the world. Anyone who is tainted by power will never be as pure and simple as they seem on the surface.
Although Li Ran has only been up and down for a few years, he has long been accustomed to people's insatiable desire for power. That kind of almost obsessive competition has become a disease, a disease like tarsal poison. I'm afraid No medicine or stone in this world can cure it.
Coupled with the five thousand years of accumulation carried in Li Ran's memory, he is very familiar with this Tao.
Sure enough, Zichan was very happy to hear what Li Ran said, and even more pleased.
"Well...if you care about mountains and rivers, you will be happy in life. Hey, if the world is stable, who in the world wouldn't want to do this?"
"Ziming, but now is not the time to focus on the mountains and rivers. We both have a long way to go. We need to work harder."
The road to Zheng Guo has a long way to go.
He knew that with his own strength, it would be difficult to realize such a grand vision as "world stability."
Therefore, he chose Li Ran as his right-hand man, a person who may know how to govern the people better than him and has a more sacred heart.
And this may be what the ancients said: "Those who use teachers are kings, and those who use friends are hegemons."
"No, I will follow the doctor's instructions!"
Li Ran's "promise" was regarded as an agreement. Now that he has embarked on the official career of Zheng Guo, let's put his talents to good use!
The two then chatted for a while, and as they chatted, they naturally talked about the person behind the poisoning incident.
"What is certain now is that Dr. Boshi and Dr. Zixi colluded secretly. One secretly poisoned him to cause trouble, and the other guided the officials in the court. In order to completely change Zheng Yi If the city becomes an isolated city, public dissatisfaction will arise and the doctor's reputation will be damaged. At that time, the doctor may be willing to do so, or he may use some extraordinary means to force the doctor to give up his position as the ruling minister!"
"These two sons have ulterior motives and are really hateful. If the doctor just keeps avoiding them, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
As the poisoning incident has slowly come to an end, Zichan still has no clear plan on how to deal with the two men hiding behind the scenes.
Of course, Li Ran also knew that these two people were in Zheng State, just like the Ji family in Lu State. But the living example of the Lu State is right in front of us. If we don't learn from the painful experience and remove this cancer, then the future of the Zheng State will be very worrying.
He and Zichan had the same idea before, wanting to wait until the incident calmed down before making a decision.
And now the time has come.
"Avoid them?"
"Haha, Zi Ming, you think that I am too lenient."
After Zichan finished speaking, his face was filled with awe.
