Li Ran suddenly became angry and seemed dissatisfied with him.
Yang Hu suppressed his temper and replied calmly:
"The oath made back then, Tiger dare not forget even for a day. Ever since Tiger took charge, he has never violated it! Tiger has always respected the public office the most. Today's matter, Tiger has already informed your Majesty this morning. Your Majesty." Tiger has also been given permission to act cheaply."
Li Ran was speechless for a moment when he heard this.
Yes, the monarch has already spoken, so what problem can Yang Hu have if he does this?
Therefore, even if Li Ran disagrees with this matter, it is inconvenient for him to say anything more in front of so many outsiders.
After all, since Yang Hu said so, he naturally gave Ji Qin an explanation.
Ji Qin couldn't help but smile and cupped his hands and said:
"Haha, after all, you understand the truth. In this case, please leave as soon as possible!"
Yang Hu returned the courtesy and said:
"I would like to ask your envoy to wait a moment. Since the expedition against Zheng was carried out jointly by Yang and the three ministers, naturally they must go together to sacrifice prisoners! I would like to ask your envoy to stay for a few more days. Yang still needs to discuss it with everyone."
Ji Qin nodded with satisfaction:
"Well, in that case, I would like to ask you to hurry up and don't make us, Fan Zhongjun, wait in a hurry!"
Yang Hu replied again:
"That's natural, please rest assured!"
Afterwards, Ji Qin only glanced at Li Ran again and left.
After he walked away, Yang Hu came to Li Ran and took Li Ran's hand without losing his embarrassment:
"Sir, please come out and help me!"
Li Ran shook off Yang Hu's big hand and replied unceremoniously:
"If you really want me, Li Ziming, to come out of the mountain, it won't be difficult. Then please stop listening to Fan Yang's words! I wonder if you can do it? If you can't do it, it will be useless for me, Li Ziming, to come out. It’s meaningful!”
Yang Hu's face changed slightly:
"Sir, why is this necessary? The Jin State is the master of the world, and we, the Lu State, are not something we can afford to offend..."
"Hmph! Then we have different opinions and cannot work together. Please take your leave, sir!"
After Li Ran finished speaking, he walked straight out of the lobby.
Yang Hu looked at the back of his neck and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He turned around and said to Confucius, who had been standing aside:
"Zhongni, do you...do you know Yang's painstaking efforts?"
Confucius remained silent.
Just listen to Yang Hu say again:
"If I don't listen to Fan Yang and anger the state of Jin, I'm afraid the state of Lu will never have peace again! Besides, Fan Yang is now in charge of the state of Jin. If I can have a good relationship with him, is this a good thing? Why... Dudu just can't get Mr. Ziming's approval?"
Confucius said:
"Let's have a good talk with Qiu later..."
Hearing this, Yang Hu couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction:
"Well... now is the time to employ people. I would like to ask Zhongni to give me a kind word. It would be best if I could persuade Mr. Ziming to come out to help someone. It would be a great blessing for our country, Lu!"
"No, Qiu, do your best!"
In fact, Confucius was also perfunctory with Yang Hu.
How could he not know? What Yang Hu is doing now, although it sounds grand and nice, is actually just for himself.
Moreover, what he did would definitely bring a new round of disaster to the Lu State in the future.
…
Yang Hu ignored Li Ran's objections and agreed to go to Jin to present Zheng's prisoners.
And Yang Hu did not dare to go to Jin alone. He had to take Ji Sunsi and Meng Sun Heji with him.
After all, he was always worried about leaving the two of them in the country.
The journey was smooth, and everyone arrived at the Jin Kingdom smoothly.
After entering Jiangcheng, Fan Yang treated them with courtesy and ordered all the prisoners to be imprisoned.
On top of enjoying the gifts, Yang Hu was placed at the same level as Ji Sunsi and Meng Sun He Ji, which greatly satisfied Yang Hu's vanity.
Seeing Yang Hu's proud look, Fan Yang couldn't help but glance at the vertical ox beside him, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart:
"Haha, this cow-erecting fruit is really a good trick! What a trick to "resurrect the soul through borrowed corpses"! I beg Tongmeng, and Tongmeng begs me, and I will respond! "
Since he understood Yang Hu's needs, it was extremely easy for him to control Yang Hu.
It was obvious that Fan Yang was playing a big game. And Yang Hu is the key point in his big chess game.
But at this moment, Shu Niu whispered a few words into Fan Yang's ear.
Fan Yang glanced at Meng Sunheji again, couldn't help but smile, and whispered back:
"Is there something wrong with this move?"
Zhu Niu smiled evilly:
"Haha, why not? You can't let Yang Hu get too happy!"
Fan Yang couldn't help but nodded, and said with the strength of his wine:
"Doctor Meng Sun!"
Meng Sunheji was stunned for a moment, then stood up and bowed:
"He Ji has met Fan Zhongjun!"
Fan Yang narrowed his eyes:
"Dr. Meng Sun, when your father was still alive, Yang Yang was lucky enough to meet him once. But I don't know why you and your father are not alike at all?"
Hearing this, Meng Sunheji knew that it meant humiliation. He couldn't help but feel angry inside, but he still managed to hold back and said:
"Junior... I wonder what Fan Zhongjun means by this?"
Fan Yang chuckled again:
"Doctor Meng Sun, with his thin skin and tender flesh, looks just like a little lady! It's really strange! Doctor...could he be a woman disguised as a man?"
"a ha ha ha!"
Fan Yang's teasing words suddenly caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Meng Sunheji's face turned red, but he looked even more like a little girl, and everyone laughed even more unscrupulously!
Fan Yang continued to add insult to injury and said:
"Dr. Meng Sun, with your appearance, you are really comparable to the widow of the monarch (our monarch's wife)! Well, I'll take the trouble to repay my wife's money! How about it?"
The so-called lady's coins are actually used as betrothal gifts for women who go to other countries to comfort other countries.
Obviously, asking a dignified Shangqing of the Lu State, a grown man, to offer the "Lady's Coin" was not only an insult to the Lu State, but also a great shame and humiliation to Meng Sun Heji.
Fan Yang's move was actually to humiliate the three Huan of Lu State.
And his inexplicable behavior was not about drinking. In fact, the purpose of what he did was to arouse Sanhuan's determination to resist Yang Hu.
Meng Sunheji looked at Yang Hu as if asking for help, but Yang Hu remained indifferent.
After all, the reason why he came to Jin this time was to make peace with Jin.
Moreover, if he rebels against Fan Yang now that he is under the roof, God knows how Jin will treat him?
Therefore, Yang Hu acted as if he hadn't heard anything and remained indifferent there, not saying a word.
Meng Sunhe Ji whispered:
"This move... I'm afraid it's not appropriate..."
However, Meng Sunheji's words were too small, and Fan Yang just pretended that he didn't hear him, and instead urged:
"Go quickly! Don't miss the important event!"
"a ha ha ha!"
Meng Sunhe Ji gritted his teeth and left as ordered. When he walked out of the gate, Fan Yang smiled at others and said:
"Hey! Is he really going? Hahaha!"
Fan Yang smiled so wildly that the Lu delegation became even more shameless. But Yang Hu never said a word from beginning to end.
When the gift was over, Fan Yang left Yang Hu alone again.
"Yang Hu, do you know what I mean by doing what I did today? It's just because Sanhuan was too busy in the past.
If you are overbearing, I, Fan Yang, will teach them a lesson for you! It's a good idea to undermine their prestige for you, so that they can serve the king carefully in the future! "
Hearing Fan Yang speak so sanctimoniously, Yang Hu was not a fool after all.
After all, he came with Sanhuan on this trip, and what he represented was the face of the Lu State.
Therefore, Fan Yang's move was ultimately disgraceful to Yang Hu. Just because he was afraid of Fan Yang, he didn't dare to say anything:
"Yes, yes, my lord has your heart. But...it doesn't have to be so extreme..."
Fan Yang couldn't help but glared at Yang Hu:
"Excessive?"
Seeing that Fan Yang looked displeased, Yang Hu hurriedly explained:
"What Hu means is that the Zhongjun's move is certainly for our Lu country's consideration, but Sanhuan has been disrespectful of the official family for a long time, and Hu has actually been trying to disrupt this matter in the Lu country! So... I also hope that Fan Zhongjun will do the same in the future. I can support Yang Hu more..."
Fan Yang narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly:
"Haha, don't worry, your position as the minister is just a matter of time. As long as you act according to my wishes, you want to be the second Ji Sun Yiru, so why not?"
When Yang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy:
"Thank you, Zhongjun! But... Hu actually has no intention of becoming Ji Sun Yiru's..."
"I know that you are from the Meng family and have always wanted to replace the Meng family. Don't worry, I will keep this in mind!"
When Yang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude:
"Thank you, Zhongjun! Everything depends on Mr. Zhongjun."
After Yang Hu retreated, Shu Niu curled his lips in disdain and said:
"Haha, he is just a snob after all. He was defeated by him in the past, what a shame!"
When Fan Yang heard this, he just stroked his gray goatee and replied:
"Don't underestimate this person! As a retainer, this person can take charge of the government affairs of the State of Lu! He dares to do things that the world dare not do, and he also has the help of Li Ziming, so don't be careless!"
"Now he is eager for success and still seems to obey my words. And we can only lead him into the urn step by step!"
Shuniu said:
"The ending of this son is destined to be bad, but now that I can use this person to disrupt the Lu country, he is really a good blade! Next, it is time for Tian Qi to show up, right?!"
There was a smile on Fan Yang's lips.
"Yes, this is what I think too!"
