The way to make the rumor effective is to mix five points of truth into it, and the other five points are false, and after a long time it will be considered true, unless there is evidence of reversal, otherwise no one can disprove the rumor.

For example, Emperor Chu looked down on weak scholars from his heart, and he was quite unaccustomed to Mr. Ji's arrogance, and the reason why he behaved as a corporal was just because he was afraid of Mr. Ji's prestige and wanted to use him to recruit wise men.

The evidence is that he invited Mr. Ji to come out, but he entrusted him with the position of deputy envoy of Liang Guo.

The monarchs and ministers of the Liang State said that they wanted to put it on their main beam, and a prime minister was too light.

The good and the bad are all called Da Liang, how can Emperor Chu refute it?

The most important thing is that the attitude is difficult to prove with evidence, and if he shows that he respects Mr. Ji very much, people can infer that he is a showman, not to mention that with his self-esteem as the king of a country, he will not be able to show up because of a rumor.

The best way is for Mr. Ji to come forward to explain, as long as he expresses his closeness to the Chu State and respect for the Chu Emperor, these rumors will naturally be broken.

But what's worse is that Emperor Chu just forced people to accept apprentices to open academies, and Mr. Ji has always been arrogant, how could he take the initiative to come forward?

So, when the rumors became more and more loud, several courtiers began to frequently enter and leave Ji's house.

Mr. Ji locked himself in the house and disappeared from a single one.

The courtiers could only sit in the courtyard and wait, wait until it was dark and no one came out, then leave, and continue to come the next day.

Ji Sheng saw that they were leaving, so he brought food into the house to his grandfather, and saw that his grandfather was writing the case, so he couldn't help but step forward and persuade: "Grandfather, it's dark, you still don't want to write and read." ”

Ji Yuan smiled and put it down: "Okay, listen to you." ”

Ji Sheng took the things on his case, and accidentally glanced at it, he was slightly surprised, "Grandfather is writing a book?" ”

Ji Yuan bowed his head, and said with a smile after serving a bowl of soup: "I've been a gentleman all my life, and when I don't teach anymore, let's make some books." ”

What he is doing now is the annotation of the book, he has written some since he was young, but he has never thought of publishing books systematically, this time he received Lin Qingwan's letter, he felt that it was not bad to write some books behind closed doors.

Ji Sheng silently put away his things, and when his grandfather finished eating, he asked, "Didn't Emperor Chu ask you to accept apprentices?" ”

Ji Yuan said indifferently: "Accepting apprentices is about fate, I have no relationship with them, and he can't force me." However, after the completion of the college, I will often come and give lectures. ”

Ji Sheng pursed his lips, got up and knelt at his feet, and looked up at him, "Grandfather, did my sister and I cause you trouble?" ”

Ji Yuan stretched out his hand to touch his grandson, sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, no matter how big the trouble is, there will be a grandfather." ”

Ji Sheng's eyes were hot, leaning on his knee and saying, "The rumors outside have all been heard by my grandson, you haven't gone out, will he ......?"

After coming to Chu for so long, he had certainly noticed that Emperor Chu was not as benevolent and valued his grandfather as he imagined.

"No," Ji Yuan smiled and patted his head and said, "The more rumors prevail, the safer we are." ”

His eyes looked out the window, as if he could see the distance through the dark sky, and he smiled, "This is a gift from her to my grandfather, if it is correct, we will be clean for several years after this time." ”

Ji Sheng looked up suspiciously, "Who is it?" ”

Ji Yuan didn't say anything.

Ji Sheng's eyes lit up and said, "Is it the county lord of Liang Guolin that you mentioned?" ”

Ji Yuan bowed slightly.

Ji Sheng thought for a while, frowned and asked, "But isn't she pushing her grandfather to the fire to roast now, why is it for your own good?" ”

Ji Yuan's eyes were deep, and he said softly: "Silly boy, grandfather has been on the fire all the time, but no one knows." At this time, she just broke up the black fog, so that everyone in the world could see me on the fire, and there were more people who saw me, and someone helped me water and extinguish the fire, even if she couldn't pull me off the fire, she could make the fire smaller. ”

From the moment he left Jiangling, he was set on the fire, and Emperor Chu's temperament undoubtedly made the fire burn even stronger.

Of course, Lin Qingwan is not all for him, but also for the beam, or ......

Ji Yuan thought of Song Jing, when he was in the capital, he was alone, and naturally he didn't know what Song Jing did in private.

But later, Emperor Liang was angry and pulled out a lot of nails in the Chu State, and he listened to Song Jing get angry a few times, so he naturally guessed some.

He didn't expect Song Jing to make a move on the young Fifth Prince and the County Lord Lin, and it was still a means of doing so.

At that time, he Lin Qingwan had already left Beijing, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, although he had only seen her a few times, he knew that she was not a person who swallowed her anger, her niece had suffered such a big grievance, how could she just forget it?

At that time, he also wondered if they would encounter assassins when they returned to Chu.

But he didn't expect Lin Qingwan to wait for him here.

In addition to him, Emperor Chu and Song Jing are the protagonists of this rumor, and Emperor Chu only has a series of guesses and a solid evidence, Song Jing's side, but even when he rests on the road, he soaks his feet with water, and Mr. Ji does not drink a sip of tea.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not, because even Mr. Ji himself doesn't remember this stubble.

But he has the most examples, if Emperor Chu can't invite him out of the mountain in the end, Mr. Ji knows who is unlucky in the end with his toes.

This is really what would rather offend a gentleman than a woman.

Mr. Ji shook his head and smiled, and when he saw his grandson looking at him, he helped the person up and said, "It's cold on the ground, sit next to grandfather." ”

"Grandfather, tell your grandson about it in detail."

Ji Yuan hesitated, "These things are undecided, and it is inevitable that you will fall into the mouth when you come forward." ”

"But it's just you and your grandson here," Ji Sheng said, "You often say that my sister and I don't understand, but you never tell me and my sister this, how can we understand?" ”

Ji Sheng touched his head and sighed, in the end, his qualifications are poor, he doesn't tell them about him, that's because it involves him, it's not good to fall into people's eyes, otherwise who knows what will happen?

But he talked about the situation in the world with his disciples, and never shied away from their brothers and sisters when they were in the political affairs of various countries.

The grandson used to only love to play, and he didn't care about it, and it was understandable that he didn't understand, but the granddaughter liked to listen to it, but she was too conceited, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a fuss.

Thinking that he was getting older and now in such a situation, he had a lot less worries, he looked out the door and said, "If you want to hear it, come in and listen to it together." ”

Ji Sheng hurriedly looked at the door.

In the middle of the ring, the door was pushed open, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl came in with a little bit of her lip.

"Sister!"

Ji Yuan asked the two children to sit beside him, and said softly: "My Ji family is safe now, and it may not be in the future, so grandfather has very little time to teach you." ”

Ji Nian clenched into a fist, pursed his lips and asked, "Grandfather, why can't you assist Emperor Chu, if you assist him, then none of these things will happen." ”

Before Ji Yuan could speak, Ji Sheng retorted: "Sister, Emperor Chu used you to threaten your grandfather at that time, but after you became an official, you were not polite, but suppressed it, if your grandfather still assisted him, where would Emperor Meng, who was unable to do it, be placed in the thatched house?" ”

"So what's the same, Emperor Meng doesn't also want to force me to marry into the palace, and Jiangling is a small country and a weak country, but Chu has the power to win the Central Plains." Ji Nian also heard some of them just now, and she also knew that Emperor Chu was arrogant and didn't respect her grandfather, but in her opinion, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, compared to Jiangling, Chu is already a good choice, isn't it?

"Didn't grandfather always want to rule the world?" Ji Nian said: "Emperor Chu has a majestic talent, and the State of Chu also has the power to win the championship, why don't you help him, wait for the world to be safe, I believe that the estrangement between Emperor Chu and my grandfather will disappear." ”

Why didn't Emperor Chu dare to reuse his grandfather?

In her opinion, there are also grandfather reasons for this, if her grandfather showed his loyalty, Emperor Chu would naturally not be so tempting and suppressing.

She and Prince Chu have already made a marriage, and in the future, the two families will be in-laws, and the two families will be one family, so what's the point of fighting back and forth?

She can't quite understand why her grandfather is stubborn and refuses to be a leader, the Chu State dominates the world, this country is not handed over to the prince of Chu in the end, and her future children, how many ambitions does her grandfather have that cannot be realized?

Ji Sheng opened his mouth wide, looked at his grandfather, and then at his sister, who had persuaded him when he left Gangneung.

At that time, Emperor Meng was approaching step by step, and he also felt the danger of annihilation.

My sister said that she had already agreed with the prince of Chu, and when they got there, they would officially marry, and with Emperor Chu to rely on, they were not afraid of being bullied in Chu at all.

But after arriving in the Chu State, it was completely different, the grandfather was annoyed, and the Emperor Chu was not as courteous to his grandfather as they imagined, and the biggest pressure on the Ji family came from the Chu royal family.

Relying on it can't be relied on, which is why it has become the current situation.

At this time, my sister said again, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

Ji Yuan, who originally wanted to teach his two grandchildren, was silent, the Tao was different, but there was a refutation of the Dao, but now he didn't even have the ** to speak.

But this is his own child, and he taught it, and no matter how big the bitter fruit is, he has to swallow it.

He looked at Ji Sheng and asked him in a deep voice, "Do you think what your sister said is right?" ”

It is difficult for his granddaughter to be upright anymore, and he can only hope for his grandson.

Ji Sheng pursed his lips, glanced at his sister cautiously, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't think it's right." ”

"Oh?" Ji Yuan sat up straight and asked with a smile, "Why not?" ”

Ji Sheng thought for a while and said, "Grandfather doesn't look down on Emperor Chu, why should he force himself to assist him?" ”

Ji Yuan was stunned, and then laughed and said, "Yes, yes, my grandson really has the arrogance of my Ji family." ”

Ji Nian's face turned slightly pale, and he pursed his lips and shouted, "Grandfather! ”

Ji Yuan gradually smiled, looked at the two children and said: "The world has been chaotic for more than a hundred years, not any one of them can be peaceful, even I, Ji Yuan." ”
