After Li Ran's reminder, Zhao Yang finally remembered that he was too complacent now. He only wanted to introduce Li Ran but forgot to introduce other people.
Therefore, under Zhao Yang's recommendation, Prince Wei Kuai Chi, Yin Duo and other retainers came forward one after another.
Zhao Yang recommended Li Ran one by one. Li Ranjun treated them with courtesy and said politely:
"Now we are all ministers of the Zhao family. I hope that we can all work together in the future to share the favor and disgrace! Moreover... Li Ran's entry into the Jin Dynasty is not known to outsiders, so please be sure to keep it a secret for Li Ran!"
Yin Duo and others stepped forward to express their agreement, and Dong Anyu said from the side:
"Everyone present today is the family master's confidant, and they will not spread the word about Mr.'s whereabouts."
Everyone toasted to each other again, and unknowingly, Li Ran also drank a lot, and his face couldn't help but turn rosy.
Zhao Yang was very happy and couldn't help singing:
"The young man is beautiful, the three heroes are charming. His son is the noble man of the country."
This verse comes from the Book of Songs, which means that the lambskin dress is so new and bright, and the three red tassels on it are so bright and dazzling. The gentleman wearing this luxurious dress is indeed a talented person in our country!
Li Ran didn't react yet, Zhao Yang sang again:
"Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of fighting. The water-lily plants flowed left and right. The fair lady, I longed for it. I couldn't get it, and I kept thinking about it. I was leisurely and leisurely, tossing and turning. The water-lily plants were scattered, Pick it from left to right."
This popular song "Guan Ju" also comes from the Book of Songs, and its original intention is to express the emotion of a man pursuing a woman. However, in the Book of Songs, women are often compared to talents, and gentlemen are compared to lords.
Therefore, when Zhao Yang chanted it at this moment, the meaning was very obvious. I just wanted to use this to express my admiration for Li Ran.
Li Ran smiled slightly and responded:
"There are Jiayu in the south, and the Yanran covers the cover. The gentleman has wine, and the guests style Yan to enjoy it. There are Jiayu in the south, and the Yanran is in Shantou. The gentleman has wine, and the guests style Yan to use it. There are locust trees in the south, and the sweet gourds are tired. . A gentleman has wine, and a guest behaves like a Yan Sui. A graceful person comes to think about it. A gentleman has wine, and a guest behaves like a Yan You."
(Interpretation: The south produces delicious fish, and schools of fish swim with their tails wagging. Gentlemen’s banquets include fine wine, and guests feast and enjoy themselves. The south produces delicious fish, and schools of fish swim with the current. Gentlemen’s banquets include fine wine, and guests feast and enjoy themselves. . In the south, there are branches of bent branches, and gourd vines are tightly intertwined. There is fine wine at a gentleman’s banquet, and the guests enjoy the banquet in peace. Doves fly in the sky, gathering on the trees in all directions. There is fine wine at the gentleman’s banquet, and the guests drink happily to fill their glasses.)
Li Ran was expressing his gratitude to Zhao Yang for such courtesy. Zhao Yang heard it clearly and was even more happy in his heart.
When the wine was full, Zhao Yang brought Kuai Kuai to Li Ran and said:
"Sir, you must know Kuai Kuai, the Crown Prince of Wei Kingdom!"
Li Ran couldn't help but stand up, cupped his hands and nodded:
"That's natural. I have met His Highness Crown Prince Wei once! We haven't seen each other for many years. Is His Highness still okay?!"
But I heard Kuai Chi sigh:
"Hey... I am no longer the crown prince of Weiguo... I am really unworthy of the word 'Your Highness'!"
Zhao Yang couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Haha, since we are old friends, why don't you two talk about old times in the future?"
Kuai Chi was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
When Li Ran saw this, he immediately supported him and said:
"Prince Wei doesn't have to be like this... In fact, although His Highness the Crown Prince is committed to the Jin Kingdom now, he will eventually return to the Kingdom of Wei in the future! And what we should do now is actually to wait for orders and wait for the right time! "
Kuai Chi responded:
"Thank you sir for your comfort..."
When the banquet was over, everyone left one after another.
Afterwards, Zhao Yang said to Yang Hu and Dong Anyu beside him:
"You two should step aside first."
Yang Hu and Dong Anyu bowed and left, while Zhao Yang took Li Ran's hand and walked into the inner hall.
"What Mr. Yang said last time made Yang Yang suddenly enlightened. However... there are many things that Yang Yang is still not clear about. Please sir, please explain to Yang Yang in detail!"
"But I don't know what I, Mrs. Zhao, should do next?"
Li Ran raised his hands and said:
"The general's first priority now is to ask Dong Anyu and Yin Duo to return to Jinyang immediately, and let Dong Anyu be responsible for purchasing some military supplies! In particular, arrowheads and arrow shafts must be prepared in sufficient quantities! And Yin Duo, Then you can make him responsible for the defense of Jinyang City, especially remember to raise the city wall and accumulate grain!"
Zhao Yang nodded and said:
"This matter is not difficult to handle. Yang Yang can ask them to go back to Jinyang tomorrow to handle it!"
Afterwards, Li Ran sat down again:
"This second thing is related to the general. I have repeatedly mentioned that if a general wants to achieve great things, he must first respect the official position! However, how to do this depends on the general's daily court appearance. example!"
"Please remember, general, that in every day's court regulations, the general must let the monarch make decisions on all matters of the Jin Kingdom! But you must not let the Marquis of Jin hastily end the court proceedings as if it were a routine matter!"
"Even... the general can ask Yang Hu to find something every day. As a pretext, the general only needs to discuss state affairs with the monarch step by step every day and make strategies, no matter how big or small. This is nothing more than letting the monarch act like a monarch. It’s your duty! After such a long time, the king will have his own majesty!"
"Moreover, the king will naturally be closer to the general in the future!"
When Zhao Yang heard this, although he was still a little confused, he still raised his hands and said:
"This Martingale will definitely do the same."
Li Ran saw that Zhao Yang still had doubts, so he smiled slightly and explained:
"This matter... may be a bit boring for the general, and may even seem a bit vain. However, I think that all this is worthwhile and in line with etiquette! The so-called 'restraining oneself and restoring etiquette', This is exactly what it means! The general thinks that it may not be necessary, but at a critical moment, these trivial matters can become the general's opportunity to win!"
Zhao Yang could not help but nodded and said sincerely:
"Ying Yang understands, sir, just rest assured. Yang Yang will never be negligent in this matter, let alone let down sir's hard work!"
Li Ran nodded and continued:
"The two things just mentioned are long-term solutions, but in a short period of time, the results cannot be seen. However... the third thing, the general can achieve immediate results! That is Having a good relationship with the Xun family set off an open and covert struggle between them and the Zhongxing family!"
"Their two families already have a feud, so it is not difficult to drive a wedge between them! If not let them fight to the death, at least we should make Xun Shu and the Zhonghang family become increasingly alienated!"
"Besides...it's the Handan Zhao family!"
Speaking of the Handan Zhao family, Li Ran couldn't help but pause. Just because Li Ran couldn't help but think of the servant who had followed him the longest - Owl Wings.
This servant who had been following him since he was young died in Handan trying to save his life!
But now, Li Ran has finally come full circle and is about to start his revenge plan.
"I heard that not long ago, Weiguo sent five hundred skilled workers to the Zhao family in Handan. I wonder if this is true?"
When Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help but reply:
"It is true, but... just because I took in the Crown Prince Kuai Kuai, the Wei Kingdom is now closer to the Handan clan. And the five hundred craftsmen were given directly to Zhao Wu of Handan by the people of Wei! Why did you, sir, talk about this matter?"
