I'm a bully in troubled times

After jumping up, Ji Chunshen saw Jiang Yu's slightly surprised eyes, sat down awkwardly, and asked, "Why me?"

Jiang Yu said: "Because there is no better choice at present."

This is too straightforward.

Ji Chunshen whispered: "Although the fourth brother is young, it is okay to let him come. His mother has no background, and he is young, so he will be obedient."

Everyone thought he wanted a puppet to manipulate Yan.Jiang Yu didn't explain either, but smiled and said, "You are the eldest son, and you are more legitimate. Besides, there are many people who support you in the government and the opposition."

"As for that matter, I can take you out of it, and that matter has nothing to do with you."

"What about the third one?" Ji Chunshen asked with downcast eyes.

Jiang Yu said, "The third thing is about my parents."

When Jiang Yu's parents were mentioned, Ji Chunshen's face turned pale, and his eyes averted a little: "...what's wrong with them?"

Jiang Yu: "The queen has promised me that she will announce the truth of what happened back then in the court, and clear up the grievances of my parents. They did not murder the monarch, and did not commit any rebellion. I hope you can cooperate at that time."

This was probably the first time that Ji Chunshen felt terrified by Jiang Yu's thoughtful and meticulous methods.After all, this side of Jiang Yu used to be facing outsiders, but now it is facing him.

It was also because of this sentence that Ji Chunshen understood why Jiang Yu alienated him.

It turned out that it wasn't just because of partisanship and political opinions.

"...Okay." Ji Chunshen didn't have the right to refuse.Even his mother, who he always thought was shrewd, was no match for Jiang Yu. Marquis Yan was sick in bed, and no one in the entire country of Yan could stop Jiang Yu.

In the days that followed, Ji Chunshen got Jiang Yu's approval and allowed him to take care of Yanhou before his sick bed, fulfilling his duty as a son of man.Of course, you must be accompanied by someone, and you cannot go alone.

Nominally, Jiang Yu put all the blame on the demon queen and the courtier Dong Xiong, and decided that Ji Chunshen was an innocent victim who was held hostage.This statement was recognized by many princes/party, because they strongly condemned Jiang Yu's house arrest of the prince.

Although condemnation is of no use.

However, to the relief of these veterans, Ji Chunshen could now take over the court and supervise the country on behalf of the Marquis of Yan.

All important papers will be submitted to Ji Chunshen for review.

But Ji Chunshen always made Jiang Yu look like a courtier—every time the ministers presented a memorial, or when Ji Chunshen was asked to review the memorial in the imperial study, Ji Chunshen would always look at Jiang Yu first to see what he meant.

After reading too much, Jiang Yu had no choice but to tell him to let him answer according to the standard of benefiting the country and the people.However, it didn't change the fact that Ji Chunshen wanted to take a look at him first.

Jiang Yu couldn't help suspecting that the prince's books for so many years had been read into the dog's stomach.

In this way, the Kingdom of Yan has almost returned to the normal track, where it should go to court, and what should be done to work, until one day, Jiang Yu sent someone to invite the queen to Yanhou's bedroom.

What the queen holds in her hand is the truth of what happened back then written in her own handwriting.With the handwriting in both hands, she knelt beside Yanhou's bed.

Yan Hou has been half asleep and half awake these days, he can't speak, only half of his body can move, his whole consciousness is blurred, and he seems to see people and things many years ago in a trance.

He didn't even notice that the queen was coming.Until Jiang Yu whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, I have invited the Queen here, and the Queen has something to say to you."

Marquis Yan opened his eyelids, looked at Jiang Yu, his consciousness gradually returned, and his eyes turned to the queen who was kneeling aside, his eyes suddenly focused, showing hatred, and the half of his body that was still able to move struggled, as if he wanted to beat the woman out.

"Your Highness, don't worry," Jiang Yu's voice was low and calm, with a soothing power for no reason, which made Yan Hou calm down, "Listen to what the queen has to say first."

Immediately Jiang Yu looked at the queen and said, "Please tell me, queen, Your Highness is listening."

The queen pursed her lips, and although she was kneeling, she knelt straight, her face was tense, and she slowly opened her mouth: "Your Highness, this concubine is guilty."

Yan Hou looked back blankly.

Jiang Yu watched her quietly, and Xia Zaifu, who was specially invited by Jiang Yu to be a witness, was also on the side.

"The concubine was guilty of colluding with the traitor Dong Xiong to frame the court minister Jiang Xuanzi, resulting in Jiang Xuanzi's unjust death."

"The minister and concubine are guilty of the second crime. They knew that the traitor Dong Xiong had drugged His Highness's meals, but they did not report it. As a result, His Highness was deceived by traitors, killed loyal officials by mistake, and trapped the monarch in an unjust place."

According to Jiang Yu's wishes, the queen restored the truth of 12 years ago piece by piece.

At that time, Jiang Xuanzi was also in power in the Yan State, and with the support of Yan Hou, he advocated reform and was the No. 1 change for the Yan State.Those who change must shed blood and die.These words could not be more suitable for Jiang Xuanzi.

Jiang Xuanzi's changes touched the interests of the old conservative nobles headed by the Dong family, and were strongly criticized by the nobles.The documents of impeachment of Jiang Xuanzi were piled up on Hou Yan's desk.Even if Marquis Yan is the king of a country, he can't help but be a little bit unable to bear the pressure.

The queen doesn't understand the general situation of the country. She only knows that these things Jiang Xuanzi did will indeed bring harm to her Dong family, so she listened to Dong Xiong's words and wanted to eradicate Jiang Xuanzi, and she was convinced that Yan Hou wrote that Jiang Xuanzi had done it. deceive.

It's just that Dong Xiong's tricks are too dangerous for the queen. She has been married to Yanhou for many years, and her children are so old. It is impossible to have no feelings. I am afraid that Yanhou will accidentally eat poison.And she is not as crazy as Dong Xiong, who dared to poison the monarch, so she was afraid and did not dare to agree to this plan.

But Dong Xiong had already made up his mind, and still carried out the plan he told her.When she found out that Dong Xiong had implemented it, she certainly didn't dare to expose it or stop it, for fear that it would cause even bigger changes.So the queen saw that Dong Xiong's plan was carried out as scheduled.

For the sake of Dong's family, she had no choice but to get involved, covering up for Dong Xiong, pouring dirty water on Jiang Xuanzi, and preventing Ji Chunshen, who accidentally saw the truth, from telling the truth.

So the plan succeeded, Jiang Xuanzi was imprisoned, and committed suicide in fear of crime.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Xuanzi had any regrets before his death.He tried his best to serve the country and the people, but in exchange for such a despicable framing.

He can obviously enjoy his original wealth and title without worrying about anything.Jiang's former prominence was comparable to that of Dong's.

The insiders and participants of the year, except for the Dong brothers and sisters and Chun Shen, have all been killed.Therefore, no matter how much Ren Jiangyu checked, he could not come up with conclusive evidence, so he had to let the person involved admit it himself, and give Jiang Xuanzi justice.A loyal person should not end up like this.

It can also be regarded as his contribution to the original owner.

As the queen continued to read her handwriting, Marquis Yan's eyes widened, and he raised his right hand tremblingly, pointing feebly at the queen.His lips moved, if he hadn't been unable to speak, he would probably have cursed.

Marquis Yan's terrifying appearance scared the queen so much that she couldn't help but backed away, lowered her head, and said: "The above-mentioned concubine is the truth. I know that my crime is unforgivable, and I wish to confine myself in the cold palace. It will never come out, Your Highness, please learn from it."

When the queen said this, she bent down and touched her forehead to the ground.She took off almost all the jewelry today, and she wore a very plain palace dress.

Xia Zaifu was an upright person, and he trembled with anger when he heard the truth.When Jiang Xuanzi carried out reforms back then, although Xia Zaifu did not strongly support him, he admired Jiang Xuanzi in his heart.Later, it was reported that Jiang Xuanzi had murdered the Marquis of Yan. Although Xia Zaifu had some doubts, he had no evidence and had to believe it.

After 12 years, the truth finally surfaced.

Yan Hou patted the bed with his right hand, his lips trembled a few times, he turned his eyes away, and kept waving his hands without looking at her.

Jiang Yu bowed and said: "Your Highness, the truth has come to light back then. The Dong brothers and sisters framed Zhongliang, and my father died in vain. This matter will not be arbitrary, and will be handed over to the officials and the people of the world. Please rest assured."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he ordered the queen to be taken back to the palace, and he also walked out of the bedroom.Xia Zaifu followed up, bowed solemnly to Jiang Yu, and said in a deep voice: "I have heard about what happened back then, but I didn't witness it with my own eyes. It's just a pity in my heart. I didn't expect that there was such a truth behind it. I don't know what Suiyang Lord intends to do." How to deal with it?"

Jiang Yu said: "As I just said to Your Highness, please discuss with all officials."

Hearing this, Zaifu Xia looked at Jiang Yu with even more admiration, and bowed to Jiang Yu: "Jun Suiyang is so noble, I can't flatter him."

Although he possesses power, he does not abuse it. It is his father who died in vain. He can use his own power to directly exterminate the Dong family, and no one can say anything.He did not do so.

Hearing such praise, Jiang Yu didn't know whether he should be happy, or felt ironic, and smiled slightly: "Master Xia is too praised."

Morning the next day.

After talking about the political affairs, the queen walked out from behind the bead curtain with the support of the palace servants.The queen, a woman from the harem, came to the court hall, which aroused the suspicion of all the officials, and they all looked at Jiang Yu, wondering what the trouble was.

Seeing Jiang Yu's calm expression, everyone knew that it was Jiang Yu's arrangement again.

Someone saw Xia Zaifu appearing from the queen, and stared at her with fire in his eyes, a little strange, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Zaifu sneered: "Just watch."

Ji Chunshen had already received Jiang Yu's instruction, so he wasn't too surprised to see the queen come in.

All the officials saw the queen walk into the hall, knelt down towards the throne, presented a handwritten letter in her hand, and opened her mouth and said: "The sinful minister, Mrs. Dong, hand in hand to plead guilty to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Although the queen is Ji Chunshen's mother, she is a sinner at this moment.Although the prince is a prince, sitting on the throne at the moment is equivalent to Yanhou.

The ministers were in an uproar.

Immediately afterwards, the queen recounted how she framed Jiang Xuanzi 12 years ago, just like yesterday.

Ji Chunshen sat there, panicked and unable to get up, so he had to bite the bullet and listen.

Many of the courtiers present had experienced what happened 12 years ago, and the more they listened, the more frightened they became.A generation of rulers, eminent ministers, loyal and righteous, but ended up being framed to death.

The more the officials listened, the angrier they became, it was almost a situation where the crowd was infuriated.

After the queen finished her statement, she leaned over and said, "The guilty minister, Mrs. Dong, please punish the crime, Your Highness."

At this time, Xia Zaifu suddenly stood up and asked: "Your Highness, what the queen said, you saw the perpetrator, but you didn't say it, but is it true?"

Ji Chunshen shuddered when asked, remembering what Jiang Yu said to him, nodded: "Yes, it is true."

This time, the way all the officials looked at Ji Chunshen changed.Knowing that a generation of good ministers died in vain, but kept silent, the officials couldn't help but feel a little chilled.

Just as his heart was chilling, Master Jia stood up again and said, "Since Mrs. Dong is here, where is Dong Xiong, the mastermind?"

Si Kou, who was in charge of punishment, replied: "The guilty minister Dong Xiong is now imprisoned in the prison."

Lord Jia then turned to Ji Chunshen and said, "This matter concerns Lord Jiang Xuanzi's reputation, and please ask Your Highness to interrogate the criminal Dong Xiong in court."

"Bi, pass on the sinful minister Dong Xiong." Ji Chunshen said.

The servant's voice conveyed Ji Chunshen's order from the hall, all the way to the sky prison, and escorted Dong Xiong, who had been imprisoned for many days, to the Golden Hall.

The ministers who used to be under one person and over ten thousand people have disappeared.Kneeling in front of him was just a very old man, an old man whose glory was gone.He was wearing shackles on his feet and shackles on his hands. His hair was grey, disheveled, and his whole body was sluggish. His waist was bent, his movements were slow, and his face like dead bark was full of depression.
