I'm a bully in troubled times

In the spring of the fifth year of King Hui of Zhou, Quwo.

Today is the birthday of Jinhou Ji Mengming, who has only been on the throne for two years.

Today, Duke Su of the State of Jin passed away only two years ago, and the disputes in the court are not as intense as they were more than ten years later.Many old officials loyal to Su Gong are still there, and many government affairs are controlled by them. Although Zhao Di and Shi Xiang intend to completely empty the young princes and kings, they are still a little restrained under the eyes of the Queen Mother and these old officials.

Four years ago, Su Gong helped the Yan Kingdom, repulsed the Di people in the north, and rescued the Yan Kingdom from the fire and water, and Su Gong's illustrious reputation earlier, not only made the princes and kings fearful, but also made the princes fearful. The State of Yan owed a great favor to the State of Jin.So this time Yan State not only came to the monarch, but also the ruling minister Jiang Xuanzi. Jiang Xuanzi's real name is Jiang Yong, and Jiang Xuanzi is his posthumous title.

In order to let his son learn more, Jiang Zhizheng brought Jiang Yu, who was only 14 years old, with him.

At this time, Jiang Yu didn't have the title of Lord Suiyang, and was just an ordinary boy.Under the guidance of his parents, the young Jiang Yu behaves well, advances and retreats politely, and writes in writing. He is a real son Ruyu.

Therefore, after the birthday banquet, Jiang Zhizheng, who was still staying in Jin to ask for advice on innovation strategies, ran to the palace from time to time.

The young but graceful Jiang Yu is deeply liked by the Queen Mother, and he often walks in the palace.

Such a pure and upright young man reads the poems and books of sages, and what he dislikes the most is bullying others.So when he saw the Marquis of Jin bullying a Qin proton for no reason today, Jiang Yu couldn't help but stepped forward to stop him.

He lifted the pale and frail Second Young Master Qin who had been pushed to the ground, patted the dust off his clothes, and said with a slight smile, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Wearing the skin of son Xi, but inside he is a poor slave who neither loves his father nor his mother, and has never experienced warmth, Qi Ranming, who is dazzled by the young man's smile.He felt humble, afraid of getting the young man's hands dirty, he took a step back in panic, and replied in a low voice: "It's nothing, thank you young master."

Jiang Yu already knew that the person in front of him was Ying Xi, the second son of the Qin State, who was not congenitally deficient and was born with ominous fortune.Seeing that his chin is pointed, his face has no blood at all, he is not as round and healthy as his peers at all, and his brows are always low-browed. I think he is used to being bullied in Jin country and dare not resist, so he can't help feeling sorry for him.

Jiang Yu turned around and tactfully persuaded Jinhou Ji Mengming with a needle hidden in the cotton.Ji Mengming was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he has always acted recklessly, whatever he wants to do, how dare a mere family member of the Yan Kingdom come to scold him?

Ji Mengming reprimanded Jiang Yu a few words back, Jiang Yu blocked him neither humble nor overbearing, Ji Mengming couldn't say no to him, so he burst into tears and attracted all the adults.

Unsurprisingly, Jiang Yu was scolded by his father.

Qi Ranming stared at all this. From their conversation, he knew that the young man was Jiang Yu, the son of the ruler of the Yan Kingdom, and he couldn't help feeling envious: With such a magnanimity, he is worthy of being a son of a nobleman.

Unlike him, who came from a humble background, even though he forcibly learned so many etiquettes of nobles, as well as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he still couldn't get rid of the fact that he was a slave at heart.This kind of tolerance cannot be learned in a lifetime.

I thought this farewell was just a matter of course, but Jiang Yu took the initiative to come to him after that, and wanted to apply medicine to the wound he fell.After all, Qi Ranming is not the real second son, and the servants who came to the Jin Kingdom together know how many confidantes the queen has.So on the outside he is a son, but in private, he is directly used by the current people.

rub medicine?

If you offend Marquis Jin, it's fine if you don't scold you.

After going back and forth, the two became acquainted, and often communicated in private, Qi Ranming felt that the relationship between the two was close, and it was the first time he had friends since he grew up.He yearned for a life like Jiang Yu's, but he could only yearn for such a life.

When Jiang Yu had no choice but to go back to the country with his father, Qi Ranming went to see him off. The young Jiang Yu hugged him and said with a smile: "When I return to the country, I will write to you."

From Quwo to Jicheng, more than a thousand miles away, Qi Ranming, who was sick and weak, became weaker day by day, coughing up blood from time to time.The servants were afraid that he was really dead, so they got him some medicine.The medicine was still bitter, so bitter that it seemed that the intestines were twisted together, making it difficult to swallow.

But once he saw Jiang Yu's letter, Qi Ranming let go of all the pain and was overjoyed.He read Jiang Yu's every letter over and over again.Whenever I feel that I can't bear it anymore, I take it out and read it again, and I feel much better in my heart.

Jiang Yu would tell him a lot of trivial things, for example, his father asked him to recite poems, and if he didn't finish reciting, he would slap his palms, and his palms still hurt.For example, the lights in the country of Yan are really beautiful, so he must go and see them if he has the opportunity.

No matter how many books you read, you are still a child, and you can't change your youthful spirit.

The more Qi Ranming looked at it, the more he yearned for it.

Until the following year, the letter broke.

Qi Ranming lost the only ray of light in his life in Jin. He thought it was Jiang Yu who had forgotten him, but later he found out that it was Jiang Yu's family who had such a big incident.He wanted to comfort Jiang Yu, but he couldn't do it.

……

In the fourth year of King Min of Zhou, Jicheng.

It has been a year since Lord Suiyang married General Qi.

Recently, Qi Ranming took advantage of Jiang Yu's absence and wandered around the mansion when he had nothing to do, and unexpectedly found a rare thing.

Qi Ranming held a thick stack of letters in his hand, looked at the words "Passed by General Qi" written on the envelope, opened it curiously and took a look.After reading it, General Qi closed the letter with satisfaction and pride, and waited for Lord Suiyang to return to the mansion in the sun.

So when Lord Suiyang returned to the mansion, he saw his general lying on the grand teacher's chair in the courtyard, with a familiar letter covering his face.The golden afterglow of the setting sun coated General Qi's thin chin with a layer of halo.

Mr. Sui Yang recalled it cautiously, and found that this letter seemed to be something that is not very visible to people.

It's not that I can't see people, but it's a bit too shameful.

That letter was written in the 17th year of King Hui, when Yan State was asked for help by Song State, and Qi Ranming led troops to attack Qi State. .

At that time, the situation in the entire Yan State was very tense, with internal reforms and external wars.Jiang Yu couldn't finish his government affairs, so he lit a lamp late at night to write some trivial matters of the day for General Qi, who was away on an expedition.

At that time, he didn't think he would give it to Qi Ranming, but now that he was suddenly revealed, Mr. Suiyang felt a little embarrassed.

He tried to snatch the letter back secretly, but General Qi's perception was too keen, and he was discovered before he could even make a move.

Sui Yangjun clenched his fists, covered his lips and coughed twice, pretending nothing had happened: "It's getting late, the wind is a bit chilly at night, let's go inside."

General Qi responded, holding the stack of letters in his hand, looked at Jun Suiyang with a half-smile, and entered the room.

Just entered the house, without the servants, Sui Yang Jun couldn't care about his image, and he stretched out his hand to snatch it away.General Qi hid the letter behind his back, raised his eyebrows and said, "What is Suiyang Lord doing?"

Jiang Yu looked at him eagerly and said, "Have you seen it...?"

Qi Ranming nodded.

Jiang Yu: "Give it back to me after reading it."

"This is a letter for me, it's mine." Qi Ranming said, "I won't give it."

Jiang Yu said: "Anyway, you've seen it all, so it's useless to keep it."

"Why is it useless?" Qi Ranming said, "I'm fine, but I want to take it out and read it a few more times, to review and study, to see Lord Suiyang..."

Facing Jiang Yu's gaze, Qi Ranming continued, "Look at Suiyang Jun, he missed me and worried about what I became."

Jiang Yu spoke convincingly: "Don't you miss me at that time, don't you worry about me?"

"I don't." Qi Ranming smiled, "You are in Jicheng well, so I have nothing to worry about. Besides, I fight every day, how can I think about you?"

Recalling the scene when he couldn't sleep at night holding that jade ring, Qi Ranming lied without changing his face.

Sui Yangjun was a little bit shocked.

In the end, the letter was taken away by General Qi, and it was also hidden in General Qi's mansion.General Qi said that if Lord Suiyang changed his mind in the future, he would show him the letter.

The two frolicked for a while, ending with Suiyang Jun kissing General Qi for a while.

In the middle of the night, Mr. Sui Yang put his arms around General Qi, kissed his sweaty forehead and said, "Ranming, shall we all resign?"

Qi Ranming looked at him in surprise: "Resign?"

Lord Sui Yang said solemnly, "Yes, resign."

"Let's resign together, and don't care about the Yan State. Just the two of us, let's go around together, and take advantage of the peace of the world to appreciate this great river and mountain."

When the two were in Quwo, Jiang Yu also said similar things.Qi Ranming didn't take it seriously, and nodded with a smile:

"Okay."
