I'm a bully in troubled times

With just one glance yesterday, the figure of the man on the war horse was deeply engraved in Jiang Yu's mind, so clear that he could see it when he closed his eyes.

And this person's face is firmly imprinted in his mind, so he can draw it without looking at it.

The man on horseback in the painting is heroic, but there is a smile in those black eyes.That's a smile that most people don't see.

"You can still paint?" Qi Ranming said.

Jiang Yu: "I know a little bit about superficiality, but I can't draw very well."

"I think it's already very good," Qi Ranming said with a smile, "Is there anything you can't do? You are proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. You can also write and martial arts. You can ride a horse and secure the world, and you can also set the world with a pen."

Jiang Yu smiled and rolled up the ink-dried painting, and said, "How can you exaggerate what you say? They only know a little bit, and they can't be compared with real masters who are proficient in this way."

"That's amazing too." Qi Ranming said.

After all, being a human being in two lifetimes is considered cheating compared to other people, so he naturally knows more.

"Then you are lucky." Jiang Yu said.

"How?" Qi Ranming asked.

Jiang Yu said shamelessly: "To meet such a wonderful person as me."

Qi Ranming laughed out loud, but nodded lightly, and said, "I'm very lucky."

He looked at the scroll in Jiang Yu's hand and asked, "Can you give me this painting?"

"You like it?" Jiang Yu said, "Then I hang it in the room, and you stay with me, won't you be able to watch it every day?"

Hanging his own portrait on the wall sounded weird, Qi Ranming frowned slightly, not understanding what Jiang Yu meant.

But Jiang Yu put this matter aside and asked him: "Just stay in my house and don't go back to your house, okay?"

Qi Ranming hesitated.

Jiang Yu said again: "Although it's not far away, it's still a street away. I imagine it will be like today, and I can see you as soon as I wake up."

This sentence touched Qi Ranming, so he nodded slightly.

He also wanted to see Jiang Yu as soon as he woke up.

This day, Jiang Yu rested with Qi Ranming in the mansion, the two played the piano, played chess, chatted, and listened to Jiang Yu's strange "knowledge", and the day passed in such a peaceful time.

The next day, Jiang Yu and Qi Ranming went to court in the same carriage.

When the two went outside the palace, many officials happened to be there as well.So when Jiang Yu and Qi Ranming got off the carriage hand in hand, many people saw it.

Everyone knows that Qi Ranming was recommended by Jiang Yu to join the court, and Jiang Yu and Qi Ranming have the kindness of supporting and supporting them. It is normal for the two people to have a good relationship.But at the welcome banquet the night before yesterday, the two left at the same time first, and came in the same carriage this morning, yesterday they both claimed to be sick at the same time and did not go to court.

It seems that there is always something unusual.

What was even more unusual was the identical jade rings worn by the two on their left middle fingers.

General Qi, who always looked like a cold-faced Hades, had a smile on his lips when facing Lord Suiyang.However, Lord Sui Yang, who has always been polite but distant to others, behaved intimately and naturally towards General Qi.The two bowed their heads and chatted and laughed from time to time.

Everyone thought about it again, and found that when the two of them dated in the past, they had already revealed clues.

In this regard, it is difficult not to make people guess something.

However, both of them were wearing black black hair, wearing a strange appearance, walking side by side, the two handsome men looked quite pleasing to the eye.At least those court ladies looked straight.

Therefore, when the two showed up, rumors about the two immediately flew out.By the time Jiang Yu and Qi Ranming walked to the Golden Palace together, the rumors had already spread throughout the Yan Palace.

Sitting on the throne, Ji Chunshen accepted the worship of all the officials, and said in a clear and clear voice, "Your honor is flat."

Baiguan got up slowly.

Ji Chunshen looked at Jiang Yu, and first asked, "I heard that Lord Suiyang was ill yesterday. I wonder if he is feeling better today?"

Jiang Yu replied: "Returning to Your Highness, it's just that the weather has turned cold and I feel the wind and cold occasionally, it's not a problem."

"That's good," Ji Chunshen said, "Jun Suiyang is the pillar of the country, and there must be no mistakes."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

After caring about Jiang Yu, Ji Chunshen went to care about Qi Ranming again, and asked, "General Qi fought bloody battles for the country of Yan. I heard that you were injured. I wonder if it's serious? My widow sent some imperial physicians to your house to take a look for you." ,how?"

But unexpectedly noticed that Qi Ranming also had an extra jade ring on his hand, which was exactly the same as Jiang Yu's.No matter how you look at it, it looks like a token of love. Ji Chunshen didn't know that Jiang Yu was still a man, so he was a little surprised in his heart, so he didn't hide his face, but soon his expression returned to normal, and he looked away.

I only heard Qi Ranming say: "Go back to Your Highness, the wound has scabbed over, it's okay, it will heal in a few days."

Ji Chunshen said: "General Qi has practiced martial arts all year round and has a good foundation, so the wound heals quickly."

Yesterday Wei Bo went to the court bravely, and he had already conveyed his condolences, so he didn't repeat it.

But Dong Ying's position is a bit awkward.He is also surnamed Dong, and he is also the son of Dong Xiong. Logically, he will be beheaded, but he has made great contributions in this battle, so beheading is a bit unreasonable.

Therefore, Ji Chunshen appointed Qi Ranming as Sima, in charge of the military, and Wei Boyong as Young Sima, Qi Ranming's deputy. Afterwards, looking at Dong Ying, he felt a little embarrassed and couldn't make up his mind for a while.Ji Chunshen couldn't help but cast his eyes on Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu didn't speak.

Ji Chunshen had no choice but to ask the officials, "What do you think Dong Ying should do?"

For this, hundreds of officials have different views.Some people think that he should be executed together with the rest of the Dong family, and some people think that Dong Ying was not in Jicheng when the Dong family rebelled, and he was not involved in the planting of Jiang Xuanzi 12 years ago, so they suggested that Dong Ying should be rewarded. It also shows that the military title system is not just talk.

The two sides argued endlessly.

Finally Xia Zaifu stood up and said: "I think that it is not right to punish without reward, or to reward without punishment. A king should be strict with rewards and punishments. Therefore, the old minister believes that merits and demerits should be offset, and rewards and punishments should be offset. No reward, no punishment."

This idea has been recognized by more people.

Ji Chunshen looked at Jiang Yu again: Jiang Yu had to make the decision.

Just listen to Jiang Yu said: "I think Xia Zaifu is right, merits and demerits are equal, no reward and no punishment."

After receiving Jiang Yu's reply, Ji Chunshen finally announced his treatment of Dong Ying with peace of mind, praised him for his performance in this battle, and lightly passed it on.

After these three people, Ji Chunshen followed Jiang Yu and Qi Ranming's script drafted yesterday, and rewarded those who had made merit in this battle one by one.

Then began the formal morning court.

Jiang Yu didn't go to court yesterday, so he missed a lot of things, so at first he mostly just listened, and then he slowly expressed some of his own opinions.When discussing the issue of running the army, I would ask Qi Ranming for his opinion.

Qi Ranming's new official took up his post immediately. After leaving the early court, he ran to hand over the same day, and officially became the Sima of the Yan State, in charge of the Yan State's military affairs.

In addition to the internal reform of Yan State, there was also news from the south that Chu State had already withdrawn its troops from Song State and was fighting Qin State wholeheartedly.However, the loss at both ends made Chu State a little overwhelmed, so it fell into a disadvantage in the battle with Qin State.

In a blink of an eye, it entered winter.

It was another winter, and the weather was getting colder and colder. The winter in Yan Kingdom came very early, and it began to snow in October.After a snowfall, the sky cleared up two days later, and the snow accumulated on the ground melted again, and it was extraordinarily cold when it melted.

But after the end of October, the snow that fell has been accumulated there and has never melted.The snow was getting deeper and deeper, only the snow on the official roads and in the mansions of individuals had been swept away, and the snow was already a foot thick in places where no one cleaned.

Qi Ranming originally came from Qi State, Qi State is in the south, close to the sea, and the climate is warm and humid. After arriving in Yan State, he felt a little uncomfortable.Therefore, for the first time, the charcoal fire in Suiyang Jun's mansion was ignited early, and it always kept the house warm.

Jiang Yu's bedroom and study room felt hot even when Gongsun Ke entered.Other people in the mansion don't usually like to go in.Qi Ranming felt comfortable staying inside.

However, even so, Qi Ranming is still sick.

Jiang Yu guessed that the room was too warm, but the outside was too cold, and his body couldn't bear the heat and cold.

Qi Ranming hadn't been sick for a long time, the wounds brought back from the battlefield were not healed, the poison in his body had invaded the bone marrow for many years and hadn't been completely eliminated, and he didn't adapt to the cold climate of Yan country, so he became seriously ill once he got sick.He looked bored every day, and was listlessly covered with a wolf fur blanket brought back from Quwo, nestling in front of the charcoal fire, his cheeks were burning red, and even his body was hot.

For this reason, Jiang Yu even invited Dr. Wei to live in the mansion so that he could take care of Qi Ranming day and night.

Bowl after bowl of bitter soup was served in front of Qi Ranming. Qi Ranming was sick, and he didn't look like an outsider to Jiang Yu, so he was often unwilling to drink it.Jiang Yu then ordered someone to buy a lot of pine nut candy for preparation, although the taste was different from Quwo, it was worth letting him settle for it.When it gets warmer next year, go to Quwo to find a pine nut candy maker, and come here.

Qi Ranming stayed at the mansion all day long, and sometimes read books. Jiang Yu's "The Biography of Ning Jian" had already been written. Speaking of it, it was written by the two of them together, which is quite commemorative.Sometimes he played the flute, his own bone flute, or when he was interested, he dug out Jiang Yu's hidden broken bamboo flute and played it.

The bamboo flute was out of tune, and its timbre wasn't round enough. It had been played in Yan Country for so long without much maintenance, and it was so harsh that even Qi Ranming's technique couldn't save it.

It was heard that the servants in the mansion hoped that their master could exchange Qi Sima for a flute.Otherwise, it would appear that their Suiyang Mansion is too poor.

After Qi Ranming reported his sick leave for many days, Wei Boyong was left to do all the work at hand. Wei Boyong was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, and wanted to go to Qi Ranming's mansion to arrest him, but when he arrived at Qi Ranming's mansion, he found that he was not in the mansion at all. Instead, he has always lived in Jiang Yu's mansion.It's normal for friends to visit each other occasionally, but it's not so normal if they are still living there all the time.

Wei Bo scratched his head bravely, and returned to the house with a puzzled expression on his face.

The next day, the news that Qi Ranming often lived in Suiyang Monarch's Mansion spread throughout Jicheng.Combined with the jade rings on their hands, the people of Jicheng vaguely guessed that Lord Sui Yang, who had been robbing his wife, was planning to find a man?

Only then did Qi Ranming realize that Wei Boyong, who seemed not to talk much, turned out to be a big talker.

Jiang Yu was a little unhappy after hearing this.

Qi Ranming asked him what was wrong.

Jiang Yu said, "I wanted to take you to meet my parents before announcing it to them. I didn't expect you to be ill. I can't let you go out to catch the cold. Now Wei Boyong has such a big mouth Lie Lie out."

After hearing this, Qi Ranming laughed straight away. After laughing, he held Jiang Yu's hand with his hand that was slightly hot from the charcoal fire, and said, "It's just a little cold, it's okay, you take me to see your parents."
