Chapter two hundred and forty-ninth pouring bitter water
"Haha..." After hearing Zhang Ran's words, Master Yan not only did not get angry, but laughed loudly and looked at Zhang Ran with great relief and said: "Xiao Lang is clear-headed. Faced with such temptation, it is really rare to be able to keep his original heart!"
"??" A series of question marks flashed through Zhang Ran's head, and he looked at Master Yan in shock. He really didn't understand what the other party wanted to do!
"Did the Lord Father Yan suffer too much because of his previous experience, so he became nervous..."
Zhang Ran looked at the laughing master Yan with an extremely strange look, and this thought came to his mind involuntarily.
"Huh?" Feeling Zhang Ran's gaze, Master Yan's expression suddenly stopped and said to Zhang Ran with a few dissatisfaction: "Don't look at me with that kind of eye. I'm not sick, let alone crazy!"
"Oh!" The Lord's Father Yan's face suddenly showed a trace of loneliness. He sighed slightly, and said to Zhang Ran with a sad expression: "Xiao Lang, I was born in poverty when I was young and had been drifting for most of my life. I was excluded, suppressed, and humiliated by others... I wasted my time until I was nearly forty years, and I was lucky enough to be honored and promoted to an official by His Majesty."
As he said that, a trace of remembrance flashed in the eyes of Master Yan, and he sighed: "This experience of most of my life has allowed me to taste the warmth and warmth of human feelings and the various aspects of the world. Therefore, I know the power and opportunities very well, how important it is to me, poor people.
In order to fulfill the ambitions in my heart, I resolutely offered His Majesty a "supporting grace" strategy, but this strategy is called "supporting grace" in fact, it is actually a reduction of the vassal states. I know very well that this move will offend the princes in the world, and it will inevitably repeat Chao Cuo's mistakes.
But so what? If you can’t do anything that ordinary people cannot do, with my husband’s family background, when will you have a future?
As the saying goes, if a geese passes by, a person passes by, I don’t want to bring my talents and ambitions into the grave! Therefore, whether it is a crime against the princes or a group of people attack them, I don’t care at all!
If a real man doesn’t have five cauldrons to eat, he will cook five cauldrons when he dies! So what if I do things in the evening, I will do it in the opposite direction?”
"Well..." After hearing the words of the Lord Father Yan, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh. In fact, Zhang Ran had already known the Lord Father Yan's experience clearly, and Zhang Ran could understand the choice of Lord Father Yan. Although Lord Father Yan was domineering and revengeful, he began to take revenge on those who had bullied him (including but not limited to Confucian scholars in Qi, as well as princes and kings such as Yan, Zhao and Qi), it was also a normal human relationship, just a cycle of cause and effect. If Zhang Ran had encountered the same thing, he would probably make the same choice.
What's more, those princes are not good birds themselves, and their crimes are also angered by both humans and gods. If an ordinary person had died eight hundred times, it can be said that it was just a self-inflicted fault!
Besides, although the Lord Father Yan is arrogant, he is not cruel and unkind. He only targets those powerful and powerful people who are corrupt and abused, and does not slaughter or oppress ordinary people. Instead, the strategies he has offered are all good strategies that are beneficial to the country and the people.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but clasp his fists to Master Yan and said, "My father, I can understand your mood. This is also one of the reasons why I am willing to take the risk of pleading for you!"
When Master Yan heard this, he was slightly moved and couldn't help but hold his fists to Zhang Ran and said, "Thank you for the rescue of Xiaolang, Master Yan is extremely grateful!"
Then, the master's father Yan pondered again and said, "I am not an outsider because I am a life-saving kindness! In this way, I will open my heart and tell you directly. In fact, I arranged for Yue'er to take care of you yesterday, but I had the intention of matching you two... Yue'er is the pearl in my hand. I have always regarded him as a treasure and cherished him.
However, I know that I will do things in a wrong way, and my future prospects are worrying, and I may have an unexpected disaster. Therefore, when I heard that the Queen Mother wanted to marry the daughter of the Wang family as the Queen of Qi, I became interested. I would rather not care about the past grudges with the King of Qi than let my son marry into the King of Qi as a concubine. The purpose is to find a place for my son to protect himself so that his future will not be implicated by my care."
As he said that, the Lord Father Yan showed a hint of resentment on his face and slapped the table and said, "I thought that the power of the King of Qi and the wealth of Qi were enough to protect Yue'er from the rest of his life and had no worries about food and clothing. But I didn't expect that the old lady of the Queen Mother Qi would regard me as nothing, and humiliate my son several times! How could I tolerate her? So, I asked the emperor to be the Prime Minister of Qi, and let them stare at him. My Lord Father Yan is no longer the down-and-out scholar who let them bully!
Of course, in addition to trying to teach the old lady a lesson, I also put pressure on the King of Qi and others to force him to face us and seek a future for Yue'er.
However, what I never expected was that the dignified King of Qi was so cowardly that he died before he could come to him to blame him!
The death of King Qi not only made all my plans empty, but also almost caused me to be buried with my family... I regret not being the first!”
After pouring all the bitterness in his heart, Master Yan suddenly sighed deeply and turned to Zhang Ran and said, "Oh! Xiaolang! I know that it is really difficult for you to marry Yue'er as a wife in our family! So, in fact, I had expected Xiaolang to say no to say anything..."
"Haha..." Zhang Ran smiled but didn't say anything, but he didn't believe it in his heart, and he secretly curled his lips in his heart: "Since I knew the result, why would you have to do this? Who should I coax you?"
Master Yan saw at a glance that Zhang Ran was still in a grudge, but he didn't care. Instead, he continued to look depressed and said to Zhang Ran: "After experiencing this life and death disaster, I have seen the hearts of the world more clearly. It can be said that in this world, besides my family, the only people who can make me believe are General Wei and Xiaolang!"
After pausing, the master father Yan said again: "Actually, I will not hide it from Xiaolang. I had thought about sending Yue'er to General Wei... With General Wei's power and status, even if my son is a concubine, he can keep him safe for the rest of his life! However, General Wei said that he regards me as his best friend and must not take my daughter as his concubine, so he rejected my request in one go!"
As he said that, Master Yan paused and looked at Zhang Ran with a burning look, and said, "So, Xiaolang is my only choice!"
