Arrogant!
Arrogant!
Treason!
Although Lu Chunqiu was not a minister of Da Chu, he clearly felt that Fan Li was really just one step away from rebellion!
Above Your Majesty, is there me?
Lu Chunqiu felt that even if Fan Li ranked him second and his Lu family ranked third, it would still be reasonable.
Fan Li is openly superior to the Emperor of Chu?
"I can pretend that I didn't hear what Duke Jin just said, and I will never leak it to anyone."
Lu Chunqiu thought he was being considerate, but Fan Li didn't take it seriously.
Fan Li smiled and said: "If Marquis Wenxin has any doubts about my words, I can invite your majesty to come and say it again in front of her."
"Forehead……"
Impressed.
Really convinced.
Lu Chunqiu finally felt clearly that Fan Li was a worthy official of Chu!
Although Dong Zhuo, the powerful official of the Han Dynasty, was recognized for his strong cultivation, he was also famous for his cruelty and tyranny.
But Fan Li's coolness as if the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves is the true demeanor of a powerful minister!
What's the meaning of 'one person is inferior to ten thousand people'? '
A true powerful official does not have the four words in front of him, he is above ten thousand people!
"I believe everything Jin Gong said. If I, the Lu family, merged with Da Chu, I would indeed be inferior to two people and superior to ten thousand people, but..."
Lu Chunqiu paused deliberately, mid-sentence. He believed that Fan Li could understand his metaphor.
Your Chu State is too weak. Lu Cheng's surrender to the Chu State may be in jeopardy, and sooner or later he will become a minister of the country's subjugation.
Fan Li smiled, of course he could understand the metaphor.
But Fan Li was a man of two generations, and he was mature in his bones, and he had already anticipated all Lu Chunqiu's concerns.
"Princess Changle of the Han Dynasty will soon become my Queen of Chu."
"What!?"
Fan Li's words moved Lu Chunqiu's face.
Chu-Han marriage?
Lu Chunqiu had long expected that two weak countries would form an alliance to resist a strong country.
But he is still optimistic about the Ming Dynasty, because the alliance between weak countries depends on the sincerity of both parties to ultimately determine the effectiveness of the alliance.
Princess Changle, she is not only the most outstanding bloodline of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, but also the genius that the Pure Land of Sanskrit hopes to keep!
The Han Dynasty married Princess Changle into the Chu Dynasty. This was definitely the ultimate effect of the alliance between the two countries!
It was enough for the Ming Dynasty to fear Chu and Han!
Lu Chunqiu finally wanted to face Fan Li.
He asked tentatively: "Is it possible that the marriage between the Tian family was brought about by Duke Jin?"
"yes!"
This is a good opportunity to establish a strong personality, and Fan Li will certainly not miss it.
As for lying, he is not worried about his lies being exposed. After all, Princess Changle couldn't come all the way to Lucheng just to say, 'I am the mastermind.'
"I have great admiration for Duke Jin." Lu Chunqiu let out a long sigh.
What a terrible future!
I have been worrying about the future of the Lu family all day long, and Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty has come to my doorstep.
Look at other people, they have mastered the art of vertical and horizontal at a young age.
"With Fan Li in Dachu, even if Emperor Jiajing unifies the world, it will probably be delayed for at least twenty or thirty years." Lu Chunqiu said in his heart.
In his eyes, Chu Han already had the capital to fight against Ming.
However, the weight Fan Li offered was still not enough to convince Lu Chunqiu to return to Chu.
Lu Chunqiu didn't say anything, but looked at Fan Li quietly, expecting him to continue his performance.
"If Fan Li stops here and has no other options, I, Lu Cheng, can continue to maintain a neutral state and not surrender to anyone."
The existence of Lucheng was originally based on the balance of the Three Kingdoms.
If the balance is not broken, Lu Cheng can still be neutral.
After all, Lu Chunqiu has been the master of his own country all his life, and he is really not used to being a subordinate of another country.
Thinking of this, Lu Chunqiu was even in a good mood, and even looked at Fan Li with a little more appreciation.
"Marquis Wenxin, actually after my Majesty the Great Chu got married, the seat of the imperial concubine was still vacant." Fan Li said leisurely.
"Oh, really?"
Lu Chunqiu was still praising Fan Li in his heart, but his mind couldn't turn around for a while.
Fan Li looked at him with a smile, and then turned his attention to Lu Fubao.
That look in his eyes actually reminded Lu Chunqiu of an idiom related to his ancestors: Strange things are worth living in!
"Hey! What do you mean?"
Lu Fubao was so uncomfortable being bitten by Fan Li that he shouted loudly without caring about etiquette.
Fan Li smiled and said: "If Mrs. Lu is willing to surrender to Da Chu, Miss Lu can enter the harem and become the noble concubine of my Da Chu Emperor."
"What!?"
Lu Fubao screamed, his face turned pale, and he hid behind his father.
Lu Chunqiu was also stunned.
But although he was shocked, he was not as frightened as his daughter.
I just marveled at Fan Li's bold and unconstrained thinking, which was completely unlike what a young man of his age should possess.
"When I was Fan Li's age, I was still an ignorant boy. When my father was still alive, he often lamented that I was too dull and conservative. I lacked my ancestor's wisdom, agility, and foresight."
"If Fu Bao becomes the imperial concubine of the Great Chu, there is no doubt about my position in the Great Chu, the Lu family. Coupled with Lu Cheng's influence on Confucianism and Taoism in the world, a few years later, the Lu family replaced the Fan family to control the power of the Chu State. It’s totally possible!”
"When the world changes and Chu and Han unite to destroy the Ming Dynasty, it will be easy to destroy the Han Dynasty... Perhaps my descendants can force Emperor Chu to abdicate and become the emperor of the Lu family?"
Although Lu Chunqiu had no imperial ambitions, just thinking about it made him feel frightened and eager to give it a try!
He couldn't help but glance at Fan Li.
Is this young Duke of Jin a bargaining chip that I can't refuse?
so amazing!
Should I agree to him?
Lu Chunqiu hesitated, or should he deliberately ignore Da Chu for a period of time, forcing the other party to continue to increase his chips and let Lu profit more?
"This is a serious matter, and I don't need the Marquis to express my position immediately. I just ask the Marquis to give me a letter of approval before the Three Emperors Alliance ends."
Fan Li suddenly spoke proactively, but his attitude was exactly the same as Emperor Jiajing's.
They all seemed to be at ease and did not urge Lu to express their stance immediately.
This calmness once again exceeded Lu Chunqiu's expectations!
"Fan Li...does he have the spirit of an emperor?"
Lu Chunqiu was confused. He suddenly had doubts about his fantasy.
I thought that in a few generations, the descendants of the Lu family might force Emperor Chu to abdicate the throne.
However, with a figure like Fan Li around, can Emperor Chu have a next generation of kings?
And can the descendants of the Lu family do as well as the descendants of Fan Li?
"Marquis Wenxin, I announce my resignation."
"Uh? Huh?"
Lu Chunqiu wanted to say something more, but found that Fan Li had turned around and walked away in a hurry.
After leaving Wenxinhou Mansion, Fan Li also breathed a sigh of relief.
When they met for the first time, his first task was to see Lu Chunqiu clearly.
Now it seems that Lu Chunqiu is easier to deal with.
The children of aristocratic families are more than capable of being successful, but not enough to be enterprising.
Fan Li remembered the scholar-type tutors who were common in universities before time travel.
They are not good at profit-making. They just focus on scientific research and improving academic standards.
The result is often that they neither make any money nor enter the school leadership team and gain power.
If such a person becomes a teacher in a university, it will definitely be good news for students. But leading a family in troubled times is the easiest way to become a loser.
"Jin Gong stayed. It's been a long time."
Fan Li was thinking when a familiar voice came to his ears.
He raised his eyes and saw that the person coming was an old acquaintance, with red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows and a beautiful beard hanging down on his chest.
During the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng.
