Gong Eryue seemed to have remembered something, her face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head to leave. Li Ran grabbed her wrist and whispered:
"Yue, don't leave!"
Gong Eryue hesitated to speak, but finally shook off Li Ran's hand and said:
"It's already late at night, and Mr. Tomorrow he will host the ceremony, so it's better to get some rest early!"
When Li Ran heard this, he had no choice but to let him go and sighed:
"Yue... you should know my thoughts. I am very grateful that you have been by Guang'er's side for so many years. And... since what happened last night..."
Gong Eryue seemed to remember something, and subconsciously distanced herself from Li Ran.
"We... nothing happened between us, and nothing happened after that. You... if you mention this matter again, I will have no choice but to die! If you don't mention it, sir, I can still continue to take care of you here. Guang'er, until she finds a good match. If not, I will leave here!"
Li Ran felt that Gong Eryue's treatment of this matter was simply unreasonable. But as the saying goes, "a woman's heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea", even though Li Ran is the most intelligent in the world, he is helpless to do anything about it.
"moon……"
Gong Eryue said sternly:
"Sir, I was a talented person from the Yue Kingdom who wanted to enter the Lu Palace, but I had already lost my freedom. It was your husband who took me in and saved me from the pain of the deep palace. Yue is very grateful for this!
"Now I have no other thoughts, I just want to be able to help my husband raise Guang'er!"
Li Ran stood up and sighed:
"Yue'er, it's just...it's not good for you to stay in the Li Mansion like this. It's unfair and unjust. After all, it's not good..."
Who would have thought that Gong Eryue actually said:
"If sir has any concerns, then just leave Yue'er!"
Li Ran said hurriedly:
"I...I didn't mean that..."
Gong Eryue glanced back and interrupted Li Ran's words.
"If sir insists on mentioning this matter again, he will leave immediately!"
Gong Eryue left these words and turned around to leave. Li Ran was stunned for a long time and took a sip of water. He really didn't know what was wrong with Gong Eryue's attitude and was at a loss for a moment.
……
The grand sacrificial oath ceremony was held as scheduled, and Li Ran stood at the forefront, even before the Emperor Zhou, simply because he wanted to fulfill his duties as the eldest uncle and preside over the ceremony.
The first ceremony is to "plant books". The books are used for strategies, and there are several copies of the same words.
The Emperor of Zhou and other princes, as well as the ministers who came on behalf of the emperor, all represented their own countries and would leave copies of the oath. Because this oath was completed by Li Ran the night before, everyone had read it early in the morning, and no one had any objections. The second ceremony is to "cut the ground into a ridge". The soldiers appear and start digging the pit. When the depth reaches the required depth, the third ceremony begins, where some livestock are slaughtered and thrown into the pit.
Then the fourth ceremony was "holding the ox's ear". The king of Zhou was the nominal leader of the world, so it was obligatory to hold the ox's ear. Next came Jin Hou Wu and Zhao Yang, and other princes and ministers stepped forward in sequence to hold the king of Zhou to peace. Jin Houwu and Zhao Yang took out the cow's blood and distributed it.
The fifth ceremony is to "take blood" as an alliance. The princes and ministers who have received the blood of the cow will smear the blood on their lips to show their sincerity.
The sixth ceremony was presided over by Li Ran, who called the great god and gave blessings, that is, he addressed the gods with blessings and curses to curse those who violated the oath. In fact, it is to borrow the orders of gods and ghosts to restrain everyone.
After all these things were done, Li Ran took the alliance letter and read it out:
"The sky and the earth are clear, the sun and the moon are brilliant, the water and the boat are supporting each other, and the people are the most important thing!"
"Peng Peng is simple, and the salary is high. Help to establish the king, and the left and right are interested. The help is to establish the king, and the left and right are interested in it. The emperor is in E'e, and the fashionable people are suitable. He can control the Jingzhou, and the disciples can use it. The king of Zhou is here Step forward, six divisions will reach it."
"All allies, after the alliance, make peace! The emperor's prohibition for one day! No one is allowed to violate it! The world has been in dispute for a long time, and the people have been displaced for an unknown period of time. Today, the emperor is benevolent and summons Jin, Song, Lu, Zheng, Wei, Chen The kings of Cai, Cai, and Cao came to Zhou Dynasty, and the princes of Chu and Wu came to court on behalf of the king to make appointments, respect the royal family, and enjoy peace in the world!"
"The allies must not violate today's oath. Heaven and earth can learn from it and the gods can see it. If there is any violation, heaven and earth will not tolerate it. The gods are abominable. Everyone in the world will find it and punish it!"
"..."
This is the seventh ceremony, which is "reading", that is, reading out the alliance letter. In the alliance letter, it first confirms the time of the oath, and then strengthens the emperor's authority, allowing the princes to gather around the emperor. If there is a war, Must follow it!
Li Ran read it aloud three times before he was done, and then came the eighth "added book"!
As the saying goes, "add blood to the letter", the blood of the sacrifice is smeared on the alliance letter, which means that the alliance letter takes effect and no one present is allowed to violate it!
The ninth ceremony is "Burying the Book with Sacrifice", which buries the covenant letter and all sacrifices together to show recognition and respect for the covenant.
The last step was for the vassal state to obtain a copy of the alliance letter, respectfully welcome it back to its own country, specially build an alliance building, and place the copy of the alliance letter in the alliance building as a sign of the importance it attached to the oath.
The ten major ceremonies of the oath, under the auspices of Li Ran, were orderly and without missing a single detail. It can be said that they stole the show.
Although Zhao Yang almost said nothing, his position was second only to Zhou Wang Gai and Jin Hou Wu, and the other princes also acquiesced in this and had no objection to it.
The Zhao family of Jin State, as a public minister, restored the hegemony of Jin State. Li Ran was quite pleased when he saw this. Although Zhao Yang was not the king of a country, he did have the aura of a king in him!
After the blood-sacrifice ceremony was completed, the king of Zhou was heard saying loudly on the stage:
"Thanks for your hard work, I have prepared some gifts. Please take a seat!"
As Li Ran gave three high-fives, all the palace attendants came to the stage carrying food tables.
In preparation for the banquet, barbecue and wine were served, and everyone was very happy. The princes came forward to congratulate Zhou Wang Gai and Zhao Yang one after another. Of course, some also congratulated Li Ran.
Li Ran's name as "Su Wang" has been widely spread. Although Li Ran didn't care about these false reputations, he was a little proud of being able to establish such a reputation in the troubled Spring and Autumn Period.
He has witnessed too many ups and downs. Although there are still some dissatisfactions, he is now able to bring peace to the world. Only Li Ran knows the difficulties in this.
Zhao Yang was also in high spirits and said to Li Ran beside him:
"Lord Zongbo! Is this prosperous age as you wish?"
Li Ran smiled slightly and said:
"It is truly a blessing for everyone in the world to have the general like this! But I hope the general will not give up his original intention and be vigilant in the future! Only in this way, we should always do it!"
When Zhao Yang heard this, he nodded seriously:
"What you said is true. You should keep it in mind! You will never forget it even half a moment!"
