After Li Ran finished speaking, the Lingtai Palace was silent for a moment, and then there was a burst of cheers.
There is no doubt that the leader is naturally Sheeptongue.
At this time, a group of Jin Qing officials who had originally opposed going to the alliance also spoke out frequently, cheering and cheering for Li Ran's rebuttal. As a result, the huge palace was filled with excitement, instantly pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
Whether it is based on the so-called principles of Zhou people or out of consideration for the interests of the entire world, Li Ran's words can be said to be extremely summarized and very convincing.
As Li Ran said, if he rushes to join the alliance, he will not only commit injustice to the Jin State, but also cause the entire world to suffer irreparable losses.
With these three points raised by Li Ran, there was no longer any voice in the Jin Kingdom in favor of going to the meeting, and everyone's opinions were surprisingly unanimous:
right! If you don’t want to go, don’t go!
The Marquis of Jin swept his gaze and finally landed on Li Ran.
"Li Ran is worthy of being a knowledgeable person. Hearing your words, I can't help but be enlightened and enlightened. I also admire you from the bottom of my heart!"
"Then, sir, do you have anything else to say?"
Immediately, he glanced at all the officials present.
Li Ranke saw all this and couldn't help but ponder it in his heart.
Because Li Ran had witnessed with his own eyes the majesty of Prince Yin of the Chu Kingdom, and there was a sharp contrast with the Marquis of Jin who was also the Lord of the Kingdom in front of him.
Even though he, the Marquis of Jin, did not agree to attend the alliance meeting in the first place, in this court, all the formalities that need to be done must still be done, and those who need to be persuaded must also be persuaded, and they must not make arbitrary claims. Autocratic.
Some people may ask, in the Jin Kingdom, what would happen if I, as the king, really exercised such arbitrary power?
Then just look at the fate of Jin Linggong and Jin Ligong.
Therefore, rather than saying that the Marquis of Jin is the master of a country, it is more appropriate to say that he is more like the arbiter of a country. This is more appropriate.
But what if this kind of thing was done in Chu State? Based on his words from Prince Yin, it is estimated that there is no room for discussion on this matter. Is it someone else's turn to point fingers? Can you still tolerate this group of people quarreling like this in the temple? That is absolutely impossible!
But at this moment, seeing that all the ministers finally stopped talking, the Marquis of Jin felt at ease, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"In that case, I will order someone to send a message to the Chu envoy Wu Ju, I..."
"Your Majesty!"
Just when the Marquis of Jin was about to refuse the prince's invitation to the gathering in Guo Di, a very deep, yet slightly old voice suddenly came from outside the palace gate.
Everyone couldn't help but look outside the palace, and saw an old man wandering in from outside Lingtai Palace.
Although the old man was dressed in rich clothes, his beard and hair were all white, and his appearance was haggard. He staggered when he walked, and his face was full of ravines, but his eyes were still so bright that people dared not look directly at him.
"Female uncle Qi?!"
"Lord Sima?!"
Nv Shuqi, a female surname, named Hou, with the courtesy name Shuqi, once served as Sima of the Jin Kingdom.
The person called "Nv Shu Qi" is the Marquis of Jin, and the person called "Master Sima" is Zichan and a group of Jin officials.
"teacher?"
Then, Yang Yangui shouted like this.
It turns out that the female uncle Qi who staggered into the temple at this time was actually Yang Tonguei's mentor!
Seeing the arrival of her female uncle Qi, Yang Yangui hurried forward and knelt down to greet her. Unexpectedly, when the female uncle Qi saw this disciple kneeling in front of him, he immediately rolled his sleeves and pushed him away. Then, he walked into the inner hall step by step.
"this?……"
Li Ran was also confused by the sudden appearance of his female uncle Qi, and was at a loss what to do.
However, after he calmed down a little and saw Uncle Qi's attitude toward Yang Tongue, he had already guessed:
"Not good! It seems that this matter..."
Li Ran frowned when he thought of this.
But at this time, the female uncle Qi had already arrived in the middle of the inner hall, and bowed down to the ground again, looking very old:
"I, the queen, please pay your respects to your Majesty!"
The female uncles came into the hall together, but they still couldn't avoid the courtesy, they just kowtowed.
"Marquis, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly."
The Marquis of Jin hurriedly ordered someone to bring him a mat so that he could sit down.
But who knew that the female uncle Qi did not accept it, and only stood in the middle of the hall, his piercing eyes like thunder and fire sweeping across the faces of everyone in the hall, and then fell on Li Ran's face.
"This old man's eyes are so sharp!"
Even though it was Li Ran, he felt a thump in his heart at this moment, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
"Hmph! The people of Zheng have always been capricious. It has long been common for them to rebel against Jin and annex Chu. Who among the princes in the world doesn't know this?"
"There are so many villains like Zheng, and I have seen them with my own eyes, and there are quite a few of them. But this is the first time you two have dared to speak nonsense in our Jin Dynasty's court and confuse people's hearts!"
As mentioned before, Zheng Guo has jumped back and forth between Jin and Chu several times. The ancestors of the Zheng people have played this kind of thing with betrayal and borrowing power.
Therefore, at this moment, facing the taunts from her female uncle Qi, even Zichan couldn't find a way to refute.
So naturally, Li Ran could only remain silent.
"Teacher, what Zichan and Ziming said is true..."
"How presumptuous! What do you say to me as a teacher or to your Majesty? What does it have to do with you? Why don't you back down!"
Before Yang Tongue could finish his words, the female uncle Qi's look made him shrink back instantly.
This is an era that pays attention to conduct, and it is also an era when the culture of mentoring begins to rise.
With the gradual rise of teacher-teaching, more and more celebrities and sages began to teach their disciples. For example, Confucius, who was regarded as a literary sage by later generations, was born in this era.
Celebrities teach apprentices, and the inheritance from masters is academic qualifications. What kind of masters teach what kind of students and whose disciples they come from have become a major guarantee for many students to enter official careers.
Therefore, as a disciple of the female uncle Xiang, Yang Yangui, although he was an official in the same dynasty, in front of the female uncle Qi, he, who is now considered a powerful diplomat and mediates between countries, can only bow his head at this moment. I dare not show the slightest disrespect to my body.
"Marquis, today we have decided to reject the Chu people's invitation to form an alliance. Dr. Zichan from the State of Zheng suggested that we, the State of Jin, do not need to go. In both emotional and rational terms, this is the best for our State of Jin. But. Is there anything wrong with this?"
At this time, the female uncle Qi straightened up his back slightly, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, you must not refuse the Chu people's meeting in Guodi!"
After mocking Zichan and Li Ran, and scolding Yang Tongue, Nv Shuqi finally explained his purpose.
Yes, he came to oppose Li Ran.
Jin people must go to this meeting in Guodi! Not only should we go, but we should go with great fanfare, and we should also call on all the princes in the world to go together!
For a moment, those Jin Guoqing officials who had been persuaded by Li Ran suddenly looked confused.
What Li Ran said just now can be described as every word is precious and every sentence is true. That's it, but what else is there to refute?
What exactly is this going to cause?
