Chapter 601: Clever words and tricks
After hearing what his father said, Prince Tu said:
"My child just went to meet Li Ziming."
When Qi Hou Chujiu heard this, he immediately motioned to Rui Ji to help him sit up.Prince Tu also stepped forward to help. After Qi Hou Chujiu sat up, he asked:
"Oh? What do Tu'er think of this person?"
Prince Tu said:
"This man is eloquent and really talented. It's a pity that he doesn't have everything in mind!"
Qi Hou Chujiu coughed several times:
"Ahem...then...can't we keep this person?"
Prince Tu hesitated for a moment:
"My child thinks that killing this person will do more harm than good!"
Qihou Chujiu said "Oh":
“How come you see?”
Prince Tu came forward, knelt down on the edge of Qi Hou's couch, and said:
"This man is famous all over the world because he is the hope of the world's scholars. Now he has the status of Taishi of the Zhou Dynasty. If he kills this man rashly, he may lose the hearts of the world's scholars!"
"This is one of them. Furthermore, killing this person will not do us any good. On the contrary, it will make the Lu State and our Qi State live in an endless struggle, which may not be conducive to the ambitions of the king and father!"
"As for the third one, as far as I know, Zhao Yang, the current Jin general, has a close relationship with Li Ran. Although the Zhao family is currently experiencing internal troubles, after all, the Zhao family has lived in Jin for five generations. , its power must not be underestimated.”
"So, I think that Li Ran can't be killed at once!"
After a conversation with Li Ran, Prince Tu felt that the reason why Li Ran was unwilling to assist him was because he was worried that Tian Qi would harm him one day.
Therefore, in his opinion, if he could prove that he was capable of protecting him, then Li Ran would agree to the matter as a matter of course.
Therefore, Prince Tu naturally wanted to save Li Ran's life.
After hearing this, Chujiu, the Marquis of Qi, couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Since this kid can't be killed, let him leave Linzi. It's useless to just stay here!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Tu was about to speak, but he heard Gong Zheng reporting outside:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Tian is asking for an audience outside the palace!"
After hearing the news, Qi Hou Chujiu stroked his beard again:
"Well...let him in!"
Not long after, Tian Qi walked in and performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.
Later, Qi Hou Chujiu said:
"Give me a seat!"
Therefore, after Tian Qi entered samadhi, Qi Hou Chujiu said again:
"Tian Qing, there is no need to be polite. If you have anything to say, you can say it freely."
Tian Qi glanced at Prince Tu and replied:
"Your Majesty, I have always been open and honest with you, but I dare not hide anything!"
Qihou Chujiu nodded approvingly:
"You should know this, and I hope you can do the same to Tu'er in the future!"
Tian Qi yawned:
"The prince is the crown prince, and I should assist you with all my heart. Please be at ease, sir."
Only then did Qi Hou Chujiu ask:
"Why are you seeing me at this time?"
Tian Qi replied:
"Back to your Majesty, it has been a while since Li Ran came to Zi. I wonder if your Majesty has seen him or not? If your Majesty really wanted to see this person, I thought that he would be able to see him now. If he didn't see him, this can be done. If he leaves on his own, there is no need to let this person stay in Linzi any longer!"
When Qi Hou Chujiu heard this, he said lightly:
"Then...according to Tian Qing's wishes, will I see you...or not?"
Tian Qi thought for a while, then said:
"I think that seeing or not seeing is just a matter of your Majesty's thoughts. Your Majesty must have made a decision long ago, but I don't dare to make any assumptions!"
Qihou Chujiu said slowly:
"This man is famous all over the world. In fact...I really want to meet him...but I have heard for a long time that this man has many tricks and good talk. I am also worried that he will be tricked by him!" Tian Qi said disdainfully:
"This person is indeed eloquent, but no matter how powerful he is, it's just a matter of words. As the king of a country, how can you be moved by his few words?"
Qi Hou Chujiu looked at Prince Tu again:
"Tu'er, what do you think of what I just said?"
When Prince Tu heard this, he agreed:
"My son and I thought that... the king and father could see each other. If we don't see him, it will be disrespectful to our country of Qi!"
Qihou Chujiu nodded slightly and smiled slightly:
"Well... since Tu'er said that, I just want to meet you! Tian Qing!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Qi immediately bowed and replied:
"Chen is here!"
The Marquis of Qi then spoke solemnly and yet modestly:
"Qing Lao Tian, together with the prince, went to tell Li Ran that I will summon him for a meeting tomorrow!"
Prince Tu also accepted the order directly. After getting off the station, he bowed and saluted, and he and Tian Qi responded together:
"promise!"
After the two of them finished their ceremony, they slowly exited Qihou's chamber.
Obviously, the reason why Qi Hou Chujiu made such an arrangement was to bring the relationship between the two of them together as much as possible...
Along the way, Prince Tu smiled and asked Tian Qi:
"Master Tian, I heard that there is a guest in your house named Shu Niu. It is said that... this person once had a grudge against Li Ran. I don't know if it is true or not?"
Tian Qi replied:
"Oh, what the prince said is indeed true. However, this person is just one of the many guests in my house. What is the dispute between him and Li Ran? Qiu has never asked about it, so he doesn't know about it. .”
Prince Tu couldn't help but smile:
"Oh? Could it be that your lord has never even inquired about the details of his own diners?"
Tian Qi waved his hand and said:
"Although there are many guests in my house, most of them are useless people. I can't let you inquire about them all, right?"
In fact, Prince Tu knew very well that Tian Qi was definitely not telling the truth here, but he did not continue to ask further.
The two went straight to the official post, and when Li Ran learned that it was Prince Tu and Tian Qi who came together, he knew that the meeting with Marquis Qi was a matter of course, so he stood in the courtyard to welcome them.
After some salutes, Prince Tu said:
"Master Taishi, your father wants to summon you tomorrow, so please be prepared!"
Tian Qi also said from the side:
"When you meet your Majesty, please be sure to watch your words. What you can say and what you can't say, please think twice. If you make Your Majesty angry, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Your Majesty!"
Li Ran smiled and said:
"No, thank you, Mr. Tian, for your kind words! I know what I'm talking about."
Now that it has become an established fact that Qihou Chujiu saw Li Ran, Tian Qi simply pretended to be hospitable, and this is what Prince Tu disliked Tian Qi the most!
Tian Qi always behaves in various situations that are only beneficial to his own image.Even if this kind of behavior is hypocritical, contrived, and a completely villainous act.
Only Tian Qi’s last words were heard:
"Lord Taishi, tomorrow...I will come to pick you up in advance so that we can go into the palace to discuss matters together."
Li Ran returned the gift, and Prince Tu and Tian Qi left for the time being.
After sending the two of them away, Li Ran returned to the house, and Fan Li said excitedly:
"Sir, you are really clever. With just a few words, you persuaded the Marquis of Qi to summon you! This trip is indeed in vain."
Li Ran said calmly:
"It seems that Prince Tu is the key to my trip to Qi! Now, even if Arita Qiu is obstructing it, if I can be on good terms with Prince Tu, it will be a great help to me during my stay in Qi!"
"Meeting Qihou is just a small step. Naturally, it will not be so easy to successfully persuade Qihou. Just a few words are not enough."
"Now...the only thing I'm worried about is Chang Qing's side...I wonder if it will delay the time."
When Fan Li heard this, he was a little confused and asked Li Ran:
"It stands to reason...Brother Changqing, he is the most prudent in handling matters. He will never just sit idly by and ignore Sir's request!"
"It's just... Li really can't understand why Sir chose to let Wu State intervene. Wu State is currently using the tactics of exhausted troops to frequently harass Chu State. Logically speaking, this is the time to use troops. At this time, please ask Wu The country is sending troops, even if Brother Changqing wants to do so... I wonder if the King of Wu will agree?"
