When Zhao Yang heard this, he was all worried and said:
"Isn't that... Jinyang is in danger?"
Li Ran said calmly:
"Please rest assured, General, at least Jinyang is out of danger for the time being. The Fan family has been temporarily taken care of by Fan Gaoyi. Fan Jishe will definitely not sit still and wait for death! This person will definitely make an extreme reaction, and this is also That’s why we approached Fan Gaoyi in the first place.”
"Only in this way will young Fan Jishe lose his mind, and Zhong Xingyin will have to follow Fan Jishe. Moreover, Zhong Xingyin is extremely conceited. Once Zhong Xing and Fan have any influence on the monarch, Objection... Haha, then the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan will bring about their own defeat!"
"It's just... I still don't know if the Han family and the Wei family can withstand the pressure of the Xun family and finally be able to help!"
Zhao Yang also sighed:
"Hey... now I hope everything can develop according to plan!"
Li Ran said again:
"Please general, please make sure the guards don't take it lightly. They are now trapped beasts, and they need to be careful to prevent Qin from noticing the opportunity and make a last-ditch effort!"
Therefore, Zhao Yang did not stay long. After saying a few polite words, he returned to the tower and continued to sit in command.
Fan Li, on the other hand, felt a little worried after Zhao Yang left.
Li Ran noticed some clues and asked:
"Are you worried about Cheng Zhou's situation?"
Fan Li sighed:
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, sir... Now that the struggle between the Zhongxing family and the Zhao family has become increasingly clear, sir, you have been completely exposed to the world. Li is worried... I wonder if Guang'er and the others are safe..."
Li Ran shook his head and said calmly:
"Because of Liu Di, Shan Qi will certainly stand on the side of the Zhonghang family. However, Shan Qi has always been the most self-protective person. The current civil strife in Jin has nothing to do with him. The Zhonghang family and the Fan family also He has long since become their abandoned son.”
"Moreover, the civil strife in Jin State can actually benefit Qi State. It is also beneficial to their secret followers! He himself can also find a wise man to protect himself. Therefore, Liguang and the others, Danqi is absolutely It won’t move!”
"Moreover, there is Guan Cong who can mediate. Even if there is any danger, he will find a way to send Liguang to a safe place!"
"Actually... I'm not worried about Liguang and the others' safety. On the contrary, I'm quite worried about Master's situation..."
Fan Li was secretly relieved when he heard that Li Guang was safe. When he heard what Li Ran said, he asked:
"Doctor Chang has already retired from the government and the public. Is there any danger?"
Li Ran sighed and said helplessly:
"If my master can really retire and never be interested in worldly affairs, he will be able to spend his old age safely. However, according to the nature of my master, I am afraid that he will not sit idly by and ignore the affairs of the Jin Dynasty. Moreover, his words are fierce, I am afraid that both the Zhongxing family and the Zhao family will be criticized."
"Such remarks will probably offend a lot of people! That's why I'm a little worried."
Fan Li asked:
"Then... sir, do you have any countermeasures?"
Li Ran was silent for a while:
"I asked Guan Cong to take more care of him. There should be no worries about saving his life at the critical moment, but..."
"Sigh... It's just that he has a strong nature to respect his master, so I'm afraid he can't stand this. Moreover, if he finds out that I am also involved, I'm afraid it will make him extremely embarrassed."
Fan Li said:
"Doctor Chang is highly virtuous and has a reputation as a virtuous man. No one should dare to accuse him, right?"
Li Ran sighed:
"Now I can only hope for this... I just hope that nothing unexpected happens to our respected master!"
…
But he said that Chang Hong had been urging the king of Zhou not to take sides easily in the matter of Jin.
However, Shan Qi and Liu Di have been trying their best to excuse Zhongxing and Fan.
Liu Di, in particular, has been there to persuade King Zhou that he should issue an order from the emperor to correct the "name" of the Xing family and the Fan family.
The attitude of the Marquis of Jin quickly spread to Chengzhou. When Shan Qi and Liu Di got this news, they knew that the situation was probably not good for the Zhongxing family and the Fan family.
So, the two of them hurriedly found King Zhou Gai again.
Liu Di stepped forward to inspect his head and said directly:
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jin is obviously biased in this matter! It was clearly the Zhao family who started this matter first, how can we identify it as the Zhongxing family and the Fan family? Such a decision is really inappropriate!"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and should uphold justice in the world! We must not allow such injustice to happen to the Jin Kingdom! After all, the Jin Kingdom is the lord of the world! Your Majesty must not ignore this matter!"
King Zhou raised his eyebrows:
"Since this is a domestic matter in Jin, shouldn't everything be governed by the Marquis of Jin? Although I am the emperor, I shouldn't tamper with the affairs of other countries, right?!"
Liu Di didn't care about anything else and just started talking nonsense:
"But this matter was clearly held hostage and forced by the Zhao family. Even the Marquis of Jin could not help himself!"
When King Zhou heard what Liu Di said, he kept shaking his head.
After all, after some advice from Chang Hong, he is not so easy to fool now:
"Now that the Zhao family is far away in Jinyang, how can they control the Marquis of Jin? In addition, since the Xun family is now the chief minister, he is still a branch of the Zhongxing family, how can the Xun family be controlled by the Zhao family? What Liu Qing said , I’m afraid there is some prejudice against Zhao!”
Shan Qi said:
"The king's words are reasonable, but... I am afraid that this matter cannot be decided easily! Although the Marquis of Jin is now on the side of the Zhao family, the Zhongxing family and the Fan family plus the Handan three places, even if the other ministers are all over the country It’s hard to deal with even the power of the Zhao family! What’s more, it’s just relying on the strength of the Zhao family?”
"If the Zhonghang clan is lucky enough to win this fight, then the attitude of the Marquis of Jin will obviously change. And the Zhonghang clan may be waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against us Chengzhou! So... please give me a warning from the king!"
When King Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
"Hey, I don't know what to do. Shan Qing, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Dan Qi couldn't help but look happy when he heard this:
"My lord, take the order!"
Shan Qi and Liu Di walked out of the palace, and Liu Di had a smile on his lips:
"Doctor Shan, now that you have the emperor's approval, can you support the Fan family openly?"
Shan Qi sighed:
"Hey... I'm afraid Chang Hong and others will also interfere with it!"
Liu Di's eyes revealed a fierce look:
"This person is such a hindrance, why not... get rid of him directly!"
Shan Qi immediately glared back at Liu Di:
"Chang Hong is the hope of all scholars in the world. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle!"
Later, Liu Di had an idea and whispered a few words into Shan Qi's ear.
After Shan Qi heard this, he thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"Well... if this is the case... Chang Hong will definitely die?! But... this person has a very high prestige in the world. If we end this person... I'm afraid there will be something wrong!"
Liu Di said:
"But who made him so troubled? Wouldn't it be great if he could retire honestly? Who made him interfere in state affairs? It's his own fault and his own death. He can't blame others!"
Shan Qi said:
"Well... you must do this matter more safely, and you must not let outsiders notice it. Otherwise, your reputation and mine will be ruined!"
Liu Di said nonchalantly:
"I, Liu Di, am just a bastard, and I don't care about this! By the way, Mr. Shan, Li Ran's family... are still in Chengzhou now. Shouldn't we do something... about them?"
Shan Qi waved his hand and said:
"Absolutely not! The situation in the battle between the Zhongxing family and the Zhao family is unclear. Of course we hope that the Zhonghang family will win, but what if the Zhao family wins? We are now siding with the Zhonghang family and giving them some additional chips. It doesn't matter. . However, once the fundamentals are hurt, there will be no way out for you and me!"
Liu Di was accustomed to obeying Shan Qi's words, and now he even said:
"That's true, then let's just follow your words!"
