I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 734 1 Smiling away grudges

Li Ran waved his hand and said:

"Young Master Ye, you don't have to be so polite. Although the meeting for imperial appointment is the most solemn, there are traces of ministers coming to represent the king since ancient times. Moreover, after all, the Chu State has been independent for many years. It is enough to send you to attend the meeting." It’s pretty good.”

Shen Yinxu sighed:

"It is really difficult for you to be so upright and upright even though you are living in a dangerous situation. Now, the world can enjoy peace, which is a grand occasion that has not been seen in a hundred years! This move of yourselves is of great benefit to the world. How can we, the State of Chu, not follow suit?" ?”

When Li Ran heard this, he raised his hands again to show courtesy and humility.

Then, Shen Yinxu shook his head again and said:

"Hey... The reason why Xu came to see Mr. Xu today is because he has a difficult matter. I hope Mr. can help!"

Li Ran stroked his beard and smiled:

"What Mr. Ye said is that he wants to mend the relationship with General Sun?"

Shen Yinxu couldn't help being surprised and quickly responded:

"Sir, you are really good at predicting things! As a native of Wu, Xu followed the king of Wu and Zhu Fan to attack Chu when he was young. After the defeat, he was fortunate to be saved by General Sun's kindness. Later, he was carefully cultivated by General Sun. It’s only now that Xu’s achievements have been achieved... However, since then, General Sun and I have always been on separate sides, and we have never had the opportunity to express our gratitude in person. So, I hope that you, sir, can reconcile this!"

Li Ran looked at Shen Yinxu.

"Oh? Mr. Ye really wants to reconcile with Chang Qing?"

Shen Yinxu smiled bitterly and said:

"General Sun led Wu to destroy Chu, which really embarrassed me. As a Wu person, I want to help Chu resist Wu. Moreover, because of my identity as a Wu person, I also attracted a lot of criticism.

"So, although General Sun is very kind to me, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has no complaints in his heart."

Li Ran nodded, but asked aside:

"Then... Mr. Ye wants to reprimand Chang Qing in person?"

Shen Yinxu still shook his head.

"That's not the case... Now that times have changed, what's the point of talking about it anymore? Now I just want to meet General Sun..."

Li Ran sighed secretly in his heart. In fact, regarding this matter, he felt that this was an opportunity. It would be best if the grievances and resentments between Sun Wu and Shen Yinxu could be explained here.

Li Ran winked at Fan Li. Fan Li understood and went straight out to catch up with Sun Wu.

Afterwards, Shen Baoxu said again:

"Sir, my young uncle has learned a lot from you. It can be seen that he has indeed matured a lot. Moreover, speaking of our Shen family, we also received great favors from our husband in the past. When my father was still alive, he asked for help again and again. If we see you again in the future, sir, we must thank you for your recommendation!"

Li Ran shook his head and said:

"Bao Xu is serious... The reason why I recommended Naifu in front of King Chu Ling in the past was actually entirely because I valued the loyalty of your Shen family! Especially Bao Xu, you... are trying to restore the country by yourself. He walked alone through Wuguan and entered the Qin Dynasty to beg for reinforcements... He is truly a loyal person!"

"And Nai brother Shen Hai, in order to give King Chu Ling the last dignity, he did not hesitate to kill his two daughters to bury him... Although this move is a bit excessive, it also shows that your Shen family is indeed loyal. !”

Shen Baoxu was thoughtful:

"But... if we say that in this city of ten families, there must be a loyal and upright person like my father... Why did Mr. choose our Shen family alone at that time? How can this not be considered a favor?"

Li Ran smiled and was about to speak again when Fan Li walked in with Sun Wu. Sun Wu's expression changed slightly when he saw Shen Yinxu.

They had met at the city gate last time, and at the appointment meeting, they saw each other again in their respective missions. However, these former friends have never communicated with each other again.

Sun Wu first saluted Li Ran and Shen Baoxu, and then came to Shen Yinxu. Shen Yinxu was also very excited. After hesitating for a moment, he saluted Sun Wu and said:

"Ye Xu has met General Sun!"

Sun Wu also sighed secretly in his heart, held Shen Yinxu's arm with both hands, helped him up, and said with a smile:

"Now that you are Mr. Ye, you don't have to be like this." Shen Yinxu shook his head:

"General Sun! If Xu hadn't saved me today, if the general hadn't saved me, and if it hadn't been for the foundation left by the general in Ye Yi, Xu would never have achieved what he is today! There is not a single moment when Xu doesn't want to find an opportunity to thank the general!"

Sun Wu said:

"Shen Yin is too modest. Although Sun Wu used to be Ye Gong, I didn't have much time in Ye Yi after all. But you have devoted your life to running Ye Yi. All of this has nothing to do with me, Sun Wu..."

Shen Yinxu insisted:

"No, Xu did not exaggerate in the slightest. He spoke from the bottom of his heart! The general was granted the title of Ye Yi as the Ling King in the past, and he also made great contributions to the Chu State. But for some reason, when he arrived in the Wu State, he helped the Wu State to conquer the Chu State. ?”

"Furthermore, Wu Yuan, the son of Wu She, the former important official of the Chu State, even left the Chu State and captured the capital of Ying. Even the body of King Ping of Chu could not find peace! The people of the Chu State were even more displaced and no one knew whether they were dead or injured. How many!"

Faced with Shen Yinxu's accusations, Sun Wu showed no weakness:

"Hey... Xu is wrong! Does Xu know why I went to Wu Guoxiang to help King Wu at that time?"

Shen Yinxu shook his head slightly:

"I don't know..."

So, Sun Wu continued to explain:

"In the world at that time, the state of Chu was in ignorance, and the opposition in the world had collapsed. And what followed was that, because there were no external troubles, the princes and states were constantly troubled at home! And this was the root cause of the unrest in the world. ah!"

"That's why I want to assist the state of Wu to revive the power of the north and the south. If the state of Wu is prosperous, the world will be at peace! When it comes to this truth, it was also the intention of Mr. Ziming in the past."

"What's more, the grievances I have with the Chu State are only due to King Chu Ling. And I have no kindness to King Ping of Chu, so how can I be unjust?"

When Shen Yinxu heard this and learned about the situation at that time, he couldn't help but nodded and said:

"Hey...that's it! Why did our general change so quickly? It turns out there is another hidden secret."

"It's just that I don't agree with the general's remarks... In the past, Jin and Chu fought for hegemony for hundreds of years, and countless people in the world were displaced. After that, the people in the world were wiped out, and the people in the world were able to rest for a while. After that, although there are ministers The doctor is suspected of being a regent, but it’s better than having the world in turmoil!”

"Moreover, the Chu State now regards the Wu State as its mortal enemy...I...now that I am in the Chu State, I really don't know how to get along with the general..."

When Sun Wu heard this question, he couldn't help but look around. Seeing that there was no one around, he said:

"What Xu Zhi said is very reasonable. Moreover, Sun Wu has already understood it. So... To be honest with you, in fact... I can't stay in Wu for too long. As long as the matter of Yue is over, I will Mr. Sui retired!"

"Life only lasts for a few decades. Why should we care about grudges and hatred? Why should Xu care too much about the opinions of others?"

"Haha, why don't Xu go into seclusion with me when the time comes? The Chu country is rich, so there is no need to waste time on such things!"

Shen Yinxu said in relief:

"Haha, the general is still so free and easy. In the past, when facing Ye Gong, who was personally taught by the King of Chu, the general regarded him as a piece of grass. Now that he has become famous, he is like this..."

With a burst of laughter between the two, the barrier between Shen Yinxu and Sun Wu was finally broken. Li Ran couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw this.

……

By the time they all left, the waning moon was already high. Fan Li lit an oil lamp in the study, and Li Ran sat down. Finally free, he began to write the oaths required for tomorrow's oath ceremony.

After Li Ran finished writing it, he ordered people to copy it overnight and sent the oath to the palace and various posts.

After Li Ran finished all this, he rubbed his eyes and felt sleepy. At this time, I heard someone pushing open the door and entering. A familiar fragrance floated on my nose. I raised my head and saw that it was Gong Eryue.

Gong Eryue held a cup of water and placed it on the table.

"Sir, drink a glass of water and rest, it's getting late!"

Li Ran suddenly remembered what happened with Gong Eryue last time. Although many years have passed, the situation today seems to be before us again.

He couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.
