Zhao Yang seemed very restrained in front of Li Ran, but he still couldn't help but say:
"This is an edict from the emperor, and its words are so fierce. I'm afraid that if it hadn't been written by Mr. Chang, I would never dare to do it!"
"This is really unreasonable! I'm afraid Lord Chang is also an old fool! He doesn't know the situation here, but he talks nonsense in front of the emperor! How can he be regarded as a virtuous and virtuous man when he makes such remarks?!"
Of course Li Ran understood Zhao Yang's mood at this time. The edict issued by Emperor Zhou was obviously extremely detrimental to the Zhao family.
In fact, Zhao Yang had already been mentally prepared. After all, the Zhou royal family was controlled by Shan Qi and Liu Di, and the relationship between the Liu family in Luoyi and the Fan family in Jin was well known to the world. Therefore, it is completely foreseeable that the Zhou royal family would take such a stand.
However, Chang Hong, as a highly respected and world-famous sage, actually became his accomplice and wrote this edict. This somewhat made Zhao Yang feel unhappy!
Li Ran raised his hands and said solemnly:
"My master has lived in the Zhou Dynasty for a long time and is quite traditional. Therefore, in his view, everything must be respected by the public office. Matters encountered by the ministers must not be fought privately, but should be decided by the public office."
"It's just that...in the past few years, the princes of the world have been in civil strife, and the princes and ministers have attacked each other. As a result, countless people have been killed and injured, and even the monarchs have been affected in many cases. The family teacher does not understand the internal situation and always adheres to the old law, so he thinks that the general and the Bank of China The same is true among clans."
"It is inevitable that the general will not be understood by the world if he wants to achieve great things in the future. However, as long as the general after he succeeds, he can uphold integrity, respect the official office, and respect the emperor, then everything will be self-evident!"
After Zhao Yang heard this, his tone softened a lot:
"What Mr. Sir said does make some sense! It's just that...now that the Marquis of Jin has received this edict, he must be even more undecided. Although there was news from Jiangcheng before, the Zhongxing family and the Fan family are responsible for this matter. But even now, no troops have been sent for reinforcements. Now that this document is in the hands of the monarch, it will be even more difficult for the monarch to make a decision!"
Li Ran said calmly:
"General, don't worry, this matter will be fine! There have been arrangements over there in Jiangcheng, and it will be a matter of time before the monarch sends troops. The general only needs this period of time to stick to Jinyang, and don't let Zhongxing Yin find anything. An opportunity to take advantage of!"
Zhao Yang nodded:
"Martingale already understands the meaning of what Mr. Yang said. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the choice of the Zhou royal family is expected! And all of this is still controllable."
"Martingale was just in a moment of impatience, and made rude remarks to the teacher, sir, please forgive me!"
Li Ran also stood up, held his hands in return and said:
"General, your words are serious... The words in this document from my master are very strong. If I have offended the general in any way, please forgive Haihan, general!"
Zhao Yang helped Li Ran up, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed:
"Hahaha, Mr. Ziming has underestimated Yang Yang? Since Yang Yang is going to be criticized by the country, how can he be such a stingy person? Sir, just be at ease. Yang Yang has no complaints against Master Chang now, let alone in the future. It has the intention of taking personal revenge!"
When Li Ran heard this, he bowed respectfully to Zhao Yang again.
"General, I am very generous and grateful!"
Li Ran's gratitude was truly from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, the influence of this document written by his teacher Chang Hong is undoubtedly huge. It can even make some princes, especially those who have the intention to side with the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, now be able to act more openly.
However, Li Ran's words more or less solved Zhao Yang's knot.
…
But it was said that after Jin Houwu received the document, he ignored it, but still thought about how to help the Zhao family overcome the difficulties.
Han Buxin and Wei Chi also approached Xun Shu first and expressed their intention to send troops to expel the Zhongxing family and the Fan family.
Xun Shuang was still pretending:
"The monarch is now on the side of the Zhao family, and I have said all the good things about the Zhao family in front of the monarch, but...the monarch just received another document from the emperor not long ago...the attitude of the Zhou family... I’m afraid something is wrong!”
Han Buxin listened and said sternly:
"The emperor is far away in Luoyi, so how can he know the cause and effect of this matter? Besides, he did not explicitly tell the king what to do. Even if it is a real edict, the emperor should not override the internal affairs of the princes! According to the ancient system, the affairs of the country It is up to the monarch to decide on his own, right?"
Xun Shu sighed:
"Having said that, but... as the saying goes, 'Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.' You can't help but take the emperor's face into consideration!"
Wei Chi curled his lips and said:
"Why do you need to say more, sir? Since the monarch has ordered to send out troops to fight against the thieves, I, Wei Chi, are willing to lead my troops from Wei to the front! If the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan dare to confront me, it will be the same as treason! If so, I am willing to fight to the death with you!"
When Xun Shu heard this, he shook his head and said with emotion:
"What Dr. Wei said is truly a man! But...does Dr. Wei really think that we can defeat the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan with just the strength of our three clans?"
Han Buxin also puffed out his chest and said:
"Why can't we defeat them? Since we are famous teachers, we are teachers of justice! But they have no king and no laws, and they are bandits! And now they are besieging Jinyang, and they have already reached the end of their war effort. How can we defeat them? ?!”
"People like them who are causing harm to the country and the people should have been dealt with long ago! I, Han Buxin, am also willing to lead my troops as the vanguard. If Doctor Xun cannot make a decision, he can sit in the rear!"
Xun Shu smiled and said:
"Doctor Han is young and energetic, and has great martial arts skills. I can't say that. However, there are so many secrets involved that it's hard to explain them all in one moment. There's no need to be too hasty, Mr. Han!"
Wei Chi then said:
"Doctor Xun, Jinyang is in danger right now. Once the Zhao family is defeated and the Zhonghang family and the Fan family return to Jiangcheng, Handan will definitely replace the Zhao family! Moreover, if they become a victorious division, their morale will be even greater. By then, I’m afraid they won’t take the monarch seriously! And you, the Xun family, as well as our Wei family and Han family, I’m afraid they won’t be able to escape the disaster!”
Wei Chi didn't finish what he said, but his meaning was very obvious. Xun Shu was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Hey! It doesn't matter, since everyone is thinking about the Kingdom of Jin. How can I, Xunshuo, dare to show favoritism? Since the two adults insist on this, then I will go and see the monarch again! Doctor Han, Doctor Wei, why not... You can enter the palace together with me, right?"
Han Buxin and Wei Chi looked at each other and knew that Xun Shu had also made up his mind, and felt very happy for a moment.
Xun Shu took Han Buxin and Wei Xi to meet Jin Hou Wu. After performing the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, Jin Hou Wu said:
"My dear friends, Jinyang has been besieged for some time. As the ministers of Jin, it's time for you to discuss how to resolve this matter!"
Han Buxin stepped forward and said:
"I think that the Zhonghang clan and the Fan clan joined forces in Handan and took the opportunity to besiege the Zhao clan in Jinyang. The causes and consequences of this matter are clear, and it is no wonder that the Zhao clan is not to blame. And the emperor has already concluded all this. Now it is time to send troops to attack the Zhonghang clan and Fan clan. Shit!"
"I am willing to lead Pingyang's army to the front to relieve the danger of Jinyang!"
