I'm a bully in troubled times

Su Xi lowered her head, her rosy lips were flattened, as if she was so wronged that she wanted to cry.

Qi Ranming felt some inexplicable guilt. Speaking of it, Su Xi was just a 17-year-old girl, so it was a bit cruel.

Who would have thought that Su Xi's next sentence would be: "Jun Suiyang, what if someone finds out that I cheated to death? How do you plan to secretly send me out of the city?"

Jiang Yu said: "Don't worry about this, I will deal with it naturally, and no one will find out."

Su Xi clasped her hands together tightly, as if she had made a lot of determination, bit her lips, raised her head and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that... if I really die, then I will die." There is no danger of being discovered. You don't have to worry about me, Mr. Suiyang."

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, finally straightened his body, looked at Su Xi with a little surprise, and said, "Do you want to die?"

Su Xi explained in a low voice: "Su Xi's life was saved by you, as long as you need it, it doesn't matter if Su Xi dies?"

"..." For so many years, Jiang Yu didn't understand why the ancient people would die every now and then.There is only one life, why don't they know how to cherish it at all?Wouldn't it be better to live and do something more meaningful?

"Did you really catch the wind and cold yesterday and burn your brain?" Jiang Yu frowned and said, "Just because you are afraid of being discovered by others, you are going to die?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu would scold her, Su Xi looked at Jiang Yu with some astonishment, and murmured: "For you, Su Xi is willing to die."

"..." Jiang Yu glanced at Qi Ranming, and hurriedly said, "Don't. I don't need you to die or live. You should be sick for a month in peace of mind before you 'die', and then leave here."

Not letting her die Su Xixi seemed aggrieved, and said, "Then... Sui Yang Jun, can I ask you something?"

Jiang Yu: "What's the matter?"

Su Xi said: "Su Xi is willing to pretend to be sick and die, but please don't drive Su Xi away? Su Xi is willing to remain anonymous and stay in Jicheng to serve you. Even if I can't serve you personally, let me stay in Jicheng and occasionally Nice to see you too."

A daughter of a nobleman, even though she is a fallen nobleman, is still a nobleman, so she wants to be his maid?

Jiang Yu's head hurts a little, not the girl, but Qi Ranming.Sure enough, after hearing Su Xi's words, Qi Ranming smiled lightly and said: "Miss Su really has a deep affection for Mr. Sui Yang. In this case, Mr. Sui Yang might as well keep her. Miss Su is young, and there are elders at home , Let her leave her hometown, it is really embarrassing."

"Jun Suiyang, what do you think?"

This is a gift proposition, Jiang Yu is sure.

Jiang Yu coughed lightly: "Su Xi, you are too ostentatious in Jicheng, you are easily recognized by others. Once you are recognized, all previous efforts will be in vain. Besides, I don't need anyone to serve me here."

Apart from those sent by the queen, there are not many women in Suiyang Jun's mansion.Only a few older ones come to wash and cook.

"Jun Suiyang..." Su Xi still did not give up.

Jiang Yu became a little impatient, and glanced at Gongsun Ke: This is the obedient person you are looking for?So hard to handle.

Gongsun Ke was sweating coldly, fearing that he would lose his ass, he hurriedly persuaded Su Xi: "Miss Su, your lordship is right, you are too eye-catching in Jicheng, you will be discovered sooner or later if you stay here. The queen is already dissatisfied with you, if you let me The queen found out that it might be bad for you, so you'd better leave here."

Gongsun Ke tried his best to wink at Su Xi, Su Xi understood, saw that Jiang Yu seemed a little displeased, finally he dared not say any more, walked up to Jiang Yu, and bowed deeply to him: "Su Xi made a mistake."

Jiang Yu waved his hand: "This matter is settled like this. You don't have to look for death, and don't even think about staying. Pretend to be sick. I will arrange for you to leave the city after the Chinese New Year next year. If you are reluctant to part with your mother, I will arrange to send her away." Send it to live with you."

"Yes." Su Xi whispered, "Su Xi understands, thank you Sui Yang-jun."

In this way, Su Xi was sent home by Gongsun Ke, and never came to the Suiyang Palace again.Qi Ranming stayed behind, recuperating from his injuries every day, reading idle books, and chatting with Jiang Yu about interesting things in Beijing.

The reform turmoil started by Xun Shu lasted from the beginning of winter to the end of the year, and the court was still arguing.According to Jiang Yu's observation, Marquis Yan is actually inclined to Xun Shu.As the supreme ruler of a vassal state, Marquis Yan has his own perspective. He knows that other vassal states, as long as they have undergone reforms, are now very powerful.There is only Yan State, which has not been reformed much, and its strength is slightly weaker among the five vassal states.

But the queen blew pillow wind in his ears every day, and the Dong family headed by the queen strongly opposed the reform, which brought great pressure to Yanhou.Yan Hou also called the prince to the imperial study alone, and asked about the reform. The prince was not sure what his father wanted, and he didn't dare to disobey the queen mother, so he tended to be conservative and didn't want to reform.

Seeing his own son, the monarch was even more worried, so he had to call Jiang Yu into the palace.

In the court, Jiang Yu didn't show any obvious inclinations. He always used the hammer to the east and the mallet to the west. Sometimes he seemed to be facing Xun Shu, and sometimes he seemed to be facing the crown prince. People couldn't figure out what he meant.But Marquis Yan could see clearly that Jiang Yu's position was not one of the two factions, but a faction of his own: reform, but not too radical.

So when the prince was too conservative, he would lean towards Xunshu, and when Xunshu was too radical, he would lean toward the prince.

And this also coincides with Yanhou's attitude.

Marquis Yan is well aware of the difficulty of reform, which cannot be accomplished overnight.After chatting with Jiang Yu, he made up his mind to start reform after the new year.

As soon as he came out of the imperial study, Jiang Yu saw Ji Chunshen waiting for him outside the door.Naturally, Ji Chunshen came here for his mother's sake. As soon as they met, he hurriedly asked, "Jiang Yu, what did Father Marquis say to you?"

"I've seen too much..."

Just as Jiang Yu wanted to salute, she was stopped by Ji Chunshen: "What do you see, don't we see each other every day? When can you stop so much?"

Jiang Yu smiled helplessly: "Your Highness, you are the king and I am the minister, how can you be rude?"

Ji Chunshen took Jiang Yu's hand and walked out: "We grew up together, you are just like my own brother, you just need to be polite."

Jiang Yu nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Your Highness is in a hurry to find me, what's the matter?"

Speaking of this, Ji Chunshen let out a long sigh: "It's a long story, but I actually don't want to."

"what?"

Ji Chunshen took Jiang Yu's hand and pushed Jiang Yu into his carriage, and the two sat facing each other.

"Go back to the East Palace." Ji Chunshen gave instructions to the groom, and immediately turned bitter when facing Jiang Yu, "I'm so hard."

Jiang Yu knew why and asked: "What's on your highness's mind, can you tell me what's on your mind?"

Ji Chunshen sat lazily leaning against the carriage, yawned, put his legs on the soft couch, picked a hazelnut from the fruit plate and threw it into his mouth.

"...Don't you know, she is my mother's queen." Ji Chunshen said, "I have to persuade my father not to change his behavior."

Jiang Yu: "Did Your Highness say that?"

"I told you!" Ji Chunshen said, "but how could my father listen to me? Not only did he not listen, but he also blackened his face on the spot and fined me to copy "Government of the Country" ten times."

Jiang Yu couldn't help raising the corners of her lips: "Your Highness copied it?"

Ji Chunshen rubbed his wrists: "No... I copied it twice, and asked my school boy to imitate my handwriting, and copied the remaining eight times. My hand hurts to death!"

Jiang Yu said: "Your Highness, the monarch is thinking of you. You will inherit the entire Yan Kingdom in the future. What if you don't know how to govern the country?"

Ji Chunshen waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I know, it's for my own good. The queen mother also said that it's for my own good to tell my father not to reform."

Jiang Yu thought in his heart: This is not wrong.

Ji Chunshen: "No, as soon as I heard that Father Marquis had called you into the palace, Queen Mother sent me to ask you for news."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "I don't have any news here, what does Your Highness want to inquire about?"

Ji Chunshen looked at Jiang Yu suspiciously: "Isn't it because of the reform that my father called you today?"

Jiang Yu shook his head: "No."

Ji Chunshen: "Why?"

Jiang Yu said: "It is a matter of paying tribute to the emperor for the Spring Festival."

"That's it..." Ji Chunshen lowered his head in disappointment, "I said no, but my mother said yes, let me ask you what father thinks and whether you really want to change."

Jiang Yu thought to himself: The queen must not have expected you to ask such a question.

"Your Highness," Jiang Yu said, "Although I don't know what the king means, why don't you think about it yourself?"

"Think for yourself?"

Jiang Yu nodded: "Your Highness is the eldest son of the monarch, and he will inherit the position of princes and rule the entire Yan Kingdom in the future. Why doesn't Your Highness think about it, if you are Yan Hou, how should you deal with it? Will you change or stay old?"

Ji Chunshen: "This..."

Jiang Yu said: "Excuse me, to be blunt, Your Highness must have seen the situation of the countries. What is the state of the reformed countries, and what is the state of the unreformed countries. Do you need to hesitate in the answer?"

Ji Chunshen thought about it, but then he frowned again: "But my mother doesn't agree."

Jiang Yu said: "If you are disrespectful to the queen, you are the prince. Do you still need the queen's consent?"

Ji Chunshen was a little surprised.

"I made a slip of the tongue," Jiang Yu hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Ji Chunshen waved his hand: "That's all... I won't tell the queen mother about this, don't worry."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Yu sighed secretly, what would happen to such a crown prince, if the Kingdom of Yan was handed over to him?Fortunately, Ji Chunshen has a pure nature, not a cruel and bloodthirsty person, but I don't know if a pure prince is a good thing in this troubled world?

Ji Chunshen has a deep affection for Jiang Yu, has helped him a lot, and has always trusted him very much. It is impossible for Jiang Yu to watch him go astray, but after these few words, Jiang Yu feels that he probably did not break Ji Chunshen on the right path. opportunities and capabilities.

"Then the father said how to solve the tribute matter, and who will go?"

Jiang Yu: "The monarch said he wants to go in person, so His Highness doesn't have to go this year."

"Father will go in person?" Ji Chunshen was a little surprised, and thought again, "Forget it, he can go by himself, so that I won't be tired from running around."

When they reached the gate of the East Palace, Ji Chunshen invited Jiang Yu to sit in, but Jiang Yu declined.

When Ji Chunshen changed his mind, he thought of the rumors he had heard, and joked, "Jiang Yu, you don't want to go back in a hurry because there is a beauty waiting at home, do you?"

This is actually quite good, because of physical reasons, Jiang Yu has been using internal energy to take care of Qi Ranming every day in recent days.Today, being called into the palace by the monarch, and talking so much with Ji Chunshen, the return home was delayed, and Jiang Yu still wanted to go back and pass on internal strength to Qi Ranming.

Seeing Jiang Yu's suspicious silence, Ji Chunshen smiled clearly: "So that's the case, then I won't waste your time, the beauty is the biggest, the beauty is the biggest, hahahahaha! Don't let people wait too long."

Ji Chunshen thought he was a seasoned veteran in the field of love, so he put on an attitude of someone who had experienced it, and winked: "Go back, and bring me to meet you some other day."

Jiang Yu knew that he had misunderstood Su Xi, let him misunderstand, and said with a smile: "The wedding is still two months away, and I can only show you people after the wedding."

This is the first time that Jiang Yu has different expectations for the concept of "going home", because he knows that someone is waiting for him at home.So after coming out of the East Palace, Jiang Yu walked home much more briskly, until he entered the house and saw Qi Ranming talking to a young woman in the yard.

If Jiang Yu was right, the young woman should have been sent by the queen.
