Back at Shangqing's Mansion, Fan Li took out a gift, which was nothing more than a pearl that was a specialty of the Yue Kingdom. Dedicated to Ji Sunsi: "It's not a tribute, please smile." ”

This thing is not uncommon in the Wuyue area, and peasant girls can get a string to wear around their necks. But when it comes to the northern Lu country, it becomes precious, and any string of beads is priceless.

Ji Sunsi was surprised when he saw Fan Li offering a large bag of pearls: "Oh, Lord Fan, this gift is too valuable, I don't dare to accept it." ”

Fan Li said: "Sending goose feathers for thousands of miles is a light courtesy. This is also a piece of King Wu's heart, please smile. ”

Ji Sunsi said: "Thank you, thank you, please greet His Majesty King Wu on your behalf." ”

So I sat down and offered tea. After a few greetings, Ji Sunsi said: "My lord personally sent an envoy to Lu State, I don't know what advice I have?" ”

Fan Li said: "Wu and Lu have been friends for a long time, advancing and retreating together, King Wu has always regarded the affairs of Lu as his own business, should be happy, should be worried." Recently, when he heard that there were some small frictions between Lu and Yi, King Wu was very worried, and sent Fan Li and Hu Mei to come, firstly, to express condolences to the mourning father, and secondly, to care about how Lu dealt with this matter. ”

Ji Suns said: "My lord, this is definitely not a small friction, but a serious incident. That Di Ziyi led his troops to capture Qicheng, and the 3,000 soldiers defending the city were killed 2,000 and 5, and the remaining 500 were all captured by the State of Qi and made slaves. Even the lord of the city, the general of the city, was hacked to death with a knife. You already know this, but she is my brother-in-law. For the death of my brother, my wife almost collapsed. ”

Fan Li said: "The country is also too much. No matter what happens to it, it will not tolerate it. ”

Zimei said? "As the Secretary of the State of Lu, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" ”

Ji Sunsi said: "Although he is the secretary of Lu State, he can put forward any opinion, but in the end, it depends on the meaning of the monarch." ”

Fan Li said: "My lord has been going to court for the past few days, isn't it to discuss this matter? ”

Ji Sunsi said: "Exactly, the imperial court has been discussing this matter for several days. ”

Fan Li said: "So what is the result of the discussion? ”

Ji Sunsi said: "Lu Guo must not let this matter go easily. On this point, everyone agrees, but there are two different opinions on how to deal with it, one opinion is to directly send troops to attack the state of Di. In order to avenge the blood, the second opinion is to deal with the matter by peaceful means, exert heavy pressure on the country, and force the country to pay reparations and make an apology. ”

Fan Li said: "Which opinion do adults prefer? ”

Ji Sunsi said: "I agree with the first opinion, and I directly sent troops to destroy the country of Di, and I have relieved the hatred in my heart." The commander of Qicheng is my brother-in-law, who died tragically in the chaos, and my wife is in pain, and I am naturally very angry in my heart. But at the meeting, I have not yet expressed my position. ”

Fan Li said: "Why don't adults say anything? ”

Ji Sunsi said: "I am a little selfish, worried about showing my attitude, and telling people that I disregard the interests of the country and only care about personal anger and revenge." ”

Fan Li said: "Adults only look at one of them, not the other. If you don't show your attitude, first, the ministers who support you will be chilled, and second, people will say that you only care about your personal name and deal with state affairs constantly. Third, people who are dissatisfied with you will also take the opportunity to attack you, occupy the position of secretary, and do not do things for the country. These negative public opinions, which one hurts adults. ”

Ji Sunsi nodded slightly, sighed and said, "What the adults said makes sense, but I didn't expect so much." ”

Fan Li said: "Fan Li wants to know, will the monarch obey when the adult speaks?" ”

"Under normal circumstances, the monarch listens to me. ”

Fan Li said: "Fan Li is just a messenger, he shouldn't talk about adult affairs, but adults regard Fan Li as an old friend, and if Fan Li doesn't say anything, he is insincere to his old friend." ”

Ji Sunsi said: "You and I are familiar at first sight, and it is rare for adults to give advice." Please say directly that you are an opinion. ”

Fan Li said: "Your Excellency does not show your attitude in front of the ministers, but you can communicate with the monarch in private, meet the monarch alone, and show your attitude." ”

Ji Sunsi said: "Thank you, Lord for reminding me, your method is good, when I arrange for you to meet with the monarch tomorrow, I will show my attitude to the monarch." ”

In the evening, Zimei said to Fan Li: "Fan Jun, I think that Ji Sunsi is afraid of his wife can be used by us." ”

Fan Li said: "You are right. Ji Suns is a relatively clear-headed person. He can still be counted as talking in Lu State. Of course, he knew that the destruction of the State of Lu was like pinching an ant to death, but the State of Lu and the State of Qi were married, and the State of Qi would not sit idly by and watch the State of Qi be destroyed. Once the Lu State uses troops against the Lu State, the Qi State will definitely send troops to attack Lu, and the Lu State will be in danger. As Secretary of the State of Lu, he would not have thought of this. Therefore, he did not express his position at the court meeting. ”

Zimei said: "But Mrs. Meng Shu is eager to kill the enemy and take revenge. Ji Sunsi is afraid of his wife. He didn't dare not listen to his wife's words. We set fire to his wife and asked her to help her make up her mind to attack the country. ”

Fan Li said: "But now that Mrs. Meng Shu has returned to the back hall, and she can't see her anymore, how can we light the fire." ”

Why did he smile lowly: "Fan Jun, have you forgotten who I am again?" I can arrange for you to meet. ”

After the shift, Zimei said, "You go to my room, Meng Shu is waiting for you inside." ”

Fan Li pushed open the door of the guest room and saw Meng Shu sitting in front of the dresser to touch up her makeup. Fan Li bowed: "Fan Li has seen Mrs. ”

When Meng Shu saw Fan Li, her face turned red, and she hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "Meng Shu returned the salute." Sure enough, it's an adult! Please sit down and talk. ”

Fan Li said: "Does Mrs. know that Fan Li is coming to visit?" ”

Meng Shu was a little shy, and said: "Speaking of adults, don't laugh, the concubine was sleeping soundly just now, and suddenly heard someone calling, Fan Li asked to see Mrs. When I woke up, I was in this room, and I didn't know what was going on, and you came in. "After that, the noodles are red again.

This attitude made Fan Li's heart move. Thinking of catching Meng Shu's sneaky gaze from time to time during the day. I couldn't help sighing in my heart: "I'm really ashamed that Fan Li provoked a woman like this!" ”

He smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Madame!" Fan Li came thousands of miles, maybe he has a relationship with his wife. Fan Li also wanted to see his wife's face again, and the second was that Fan Li had something to say to his wife. ”

When Meng Shu heard this, her face was crimson, and her chest rose and fell slightly. It can be seen that the mood is agitated. Sighed softly and said: "Meng Shu is not confused in his recent years, he is old and yellow, where is there any beauty?" The beauty of Fan Li is well known to women all over the world. Thanks to the adult's refusal to give up, she came to visit Meng Shu at night, and the concubine was already flattered. ”。

Fan Li said: "Please don't talk like this, Madame." Madame's youth has not passed, Ana is enchanting, and she is not beautiful. ”

Meng Shu blushed and said, "Thank you, Lord for saying that." Adults are not only handsome, but also so gentle and affectionate. Could you please take a few steps forward and help Meng Shu insert this hairpin? ”
