I'm a bully in troubled times

Hearing this, Jiang Yu already guessed the ending.

A person who dares to challenge the old conservative forces with his own power, how good can the ending be?From Shang Yang, who was killed by a broken car during the Shang Yang Reform of the Qin State, to Tan Sitong, who was beheaded during the Reform Movement of [-], all of them cost their lives.

However, as Tan Sitong said, "Reforms in various countries are all formed by bloodshed. Today, China has never heard of anyone who shed blood because of reforms. This is the reason why this country is not prosperous. If there are, please start from the same generation." Yu Jiang Yu The same is probably true for Jiang Xuanzi, his father.

"So the king executed my parents?"

Xun Shu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a bit of fatigue in his sharp gaze that was always compelling.

"At that time, the government was in turmoil. Although the reform decree was issued, it received a lot of resistance. It failed to achieve the expected effect at all. Instead, it caused chaos in the central area. Therefore, many people said that my brother-in-law was a If the treacherous ministers who cause trouble to the government are not executed, they will not be worthy of the hearts of the people."

"The monarch was caught in a dilemma. In order not to embarrass the monarch, your father committed suicide in the sky prison. Your mother followed him and went together."

Such a loyal minister died in prison so unjustly, and he was still thinking about the king when he was dying.

"I couldn't see them for the last time." Xun Shu quietly clenched his hands under his long sleeves, gritted his teeth, and expressed grief and indignation, "They said that brother-in-law committed suicide in fear of crime, so he was convicted of murdering the monarch! The bones were thrown to mass graves outside the city, where they were eaten by wild dogs, and no burial or worship was allowed."

Jiang Yu has no family affection for the couple, but his mood will be affected by the original owner to some extent, and at this time he actually feels a pain in his heart.But even without family affection, a generation of virtuous ministers finally ended up with no bones left, which is really embarrassing.

"Your grandfather was quite famous in the imperial court, so he argued hard and firmly refused to admit that it was your father who poisoned the monarch, and finally bumped into him and died... But nothing can be redeemed."

"The monarch couldn't bear it, and finally allowed me to set up a tomb for their couple, set up a spiritual seat, and worship them at all times."

When Xun Shu said this, his mood was hard to calm, his chest heaved, his face flushed with anger, he stared at Jiang Yu and said, "Do you know why I don't like the prince?"

These years, Jiang Yu and the crown prince have been very close, but Xun Shu has always been honest with the crown prince, and he has no scruples in speaking in court, but if the crown prince has ever done something, he must be outspoken and merciless.

Jiang Yu originally thought it was just because Xun Shu felt that the crown prince was mediocre and could not afford the position of crown prince. Jiang Yu moved his lips and asked in a low voice: "...Could it be that the crown prince is also related to what happened back then?"

Xun Shu sneered: "Brother-in-law had anticipated this matter a long time ago. My sister was afraid that you would be involved, so she sent you to Wuzhong your grandmother early. Of course you didn't know it. But the prince was already 13 years old at that time. Not too young, my sister told me personally that the crown prince knew who the poisoner was, he saw it."

"However, when we confronted each other in court, the crown prince dared not say anything!"

Jiang Yu was slightly taken aback.

"With the queen here, how dare he say it?" Xun Shu sneered, "But he only needs to say one word, and tell the real poisoner, and my sister and brother-in-law can be saved from death! My father doesn't have to hit the pillar to die!"

Xun Shu has a strong voice, and every word is sonorous and powerful.This is the first time Jiang Yu heard about what happened 11 years ago. His uncle, who had "disliked" him for many years, said it with blood and tears, uncovering the scar that had been hidden for 11 years.

Xun Shu shifted his gaze to Jiang Yu: "Why do you think the crown prince is so close to you after you came back to Jicheng? Mingming is not young anymore, he is no longer a child, and he is still called your brother. Isn't it because of guilt? Is it?"

Jiang Yu was stunned.

He and Ji Chunshen grew up together, and he thought it was because he suddenly lost his parents that Ji Chunshen cared about him and worried about him, so he took extra care of him.

After my grandfather crashed into a pillar and died, my grandmother also fell ill and passed away soon.The original owner had lost four of his closest relatives one after another. He was distraught, had a high fever day by day, fell ill, and died of illness, only Jiang Yu passed through to take over his body.When Jiang Yu first passed through, he was greatly affected by the original owner's mood. In addition, he was still ill at the time, so he was depressed and unhappy.

Moreover, he was unable to understand the language and his memory was confused. He had just arrived in this world, and he was not used to everything, so he was in a daze all day. Many people said he was stupid, so Xun Shu took him back to Jicheng to recuperate.

It was also at this time that Jiang Yu met the original owner's best friend Ji Chunshen again.Ji Chunshen is the crown prince, but he has no airs towards him, and cares about his affairs, big or small.I have to say that this really brought a lot of comfort to Jiang Yu at the time.

It is also because of this period of time that Jiang Yu has been supporting and assisting the prince.

Unexpectedly, when faced with the death of Jiang Yu's parents, Ji Chunshen, because of his timidity and cowardice, knew that they died in vain and still kept silent.Jiang Yu always knew that Ji Chunshen was a little weaker, but he felt that Ji Chunshen was kind-hearted. Although he lacked courage, with his help, there was no problem.

However, if it is a lord who knows that his good minister died in vain, but does not make any promises for it, it is doubtful whether he is worthy of Jiang Yu's assistance.Jiang Yu doesn't want the person he assists to be a person who can't distinguish between good and evil, loyal and evil.

"So my uncle is not angry with my father, mother, grandfather and grandmother, and wants to take over their unfinished business and continue to promote this change?" Jiang Yu asked.

Hearing this, Xun Shu sighed self-deprecatingly: "Brother-in-law's awe-inspiring and fearless, I can't even flatter a horse. But the strength of the Yan Kingdom always requires someone to shed blood. It's just that Bowen is still young, so I'm afraid he will be implicated by me. I don't care anymore."

For a long time, Jiang Yu had no sense of belonging to the Yan Kingdom, Jiang Yu's identity, and Xun Shu's only remaining relative.But after 11 years, even a beast has feelings, let alone a human being?

Hearing this, Jiang Yu suddenly lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down facing Jiang Xuanzi's tablet.

"Does Uncle want me to join you in initiating this revolution?" Jiang Yu straightened his back, looking at the green smoke rising from under the memorial tablet and above the red incense candle, "If so, Jiang Yu wishes Advance and retreat with uncle."

He shouldn't be so pessimistic, what if they succeed?The Jiang family and the Xun family have already shed enough blood for this.He should also do something so as not to be in vain for him to inherit this identity and this body.

"No." Xun Shu refused.

Jiang Yu looked up in surprise: "Uncle?"

Xun Shu had suppressed the anger just now, and his expression returned to his usual calm and gloomy expression. He stared at the names of Jiang Xuanzi and Xun Yao and said, "I want you not to participate for the time being."

"Why?" Jiang Yu was puzzled.

Xun Shu looked down at him, and said deeply: "You can leave this matter to uncle. If I fail, you can continue. If I succeed, the reform will not be achieved overnight, and you will need to promote it later. Your parents If you are taken out, you should cherish your own life and your reputation."

"Uncle," Jiang Yu was silent for a while, without insisting, touched his forehead with his hand, bent down and fell on the ground, and whispered, "Jiang Yu understands."

The uncle and nephew talked for a long time in the ancestral hall, but when they came out, they were still in a dull mood.But seeing Xun Bowen playing firecrackers with the servants in the yard, and Xun Rong looking at Xun Bowen with a smile on his face, the gloom was dispelled a little.

Xun Rong turned his head to see the two of them, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about in the ancestral hall for so long? It's already Haizheng, why don't you come over to watch the new year together."

Haizheng?

Talking for so long in the ancestral hall, Jiang Yu even forgot the time, and Qi Ranming was still waiting for him at home.

Jiang Yu immediately frowned and rubbed his forehead, pretending to be unwell, and pleaded guilty to Xun Rong, saying that he was unwell, just drank again, and now he had a headache, so he wanted to go home and rest.Xun Rong immediately asked someone to cook Jiang Yu's hangover soup, but Jiang Yu declined.

Xun Shu thought that Jiang Yu had heard those things just now and needed to digest them, so he said something for him and let him go back.

When I got home, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

There are two big red lanterns hanging in front of the Suiyang Monarch's mansion. Push the door to enter, the courtyard is decorated with lights and festoons, everyone's faces are full of joy, and the mansion is full of laughter.It was rare for the Suiyang Mansion to be so lively, Jiang Yu couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

"My lord, are you back?" a servant asked.

Jiang Yu nodded: "Have everyone eaten?"

"Eat and eat! Why did your lord come back so early this year? Aren't you going to watch the new year with the ruling lord?" Another maid asked.

Jiang Yu smiled: "Where is Qi Ranming, is he asleep?"

"No," said the maid with a smile, "Young Master Qi is playing with Si'er and the others by setting off firecrackers in the yard."

"Firecrackers?" Jiang Yu was a little surprised, and immediately strode in.

The snow in the courtyard has been swept away. Although there are many rules in Jiang Yu's mansion, Jiang Yu has a gentle temper towards his servants and rarely speaks harshly, so the servants are not usually afraid of him.Seeing Jiang Yu approaching, he pointed to the fireworks in the sky with a smile and said, "Look at it, sir, isn't it good?"

"It looks good." Jiang Yu laughed.

Qi Ranming stood up with them, holding a small firecracker in his hand, and turned his head when he heard this.Because of the cold wind, Qi Ranming's face was flushed red, but his eyes were rarely radiant.Unbeknownst to Jiang Yu, Qi Ranming also likes to play with these things.

When Qi Ranming was looking at Jiang Yu, the fuse of the firecracker in his hand was lit by a servant next to him with a charcoal fire, but Qi Ranming was still unconscious.

Jiang Yu saw it from a distance, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly let go!"

Qi Ranming looked at him blankly.

Someone next to him knocked down the firecracker in Qi Ranming's hand with a "pop!", and ran away immediately holding his ears.

The firecracker landed not far from Qi Ranming, and the fuse was burnt out with a "chi!", and then exploded with a "boom!".

Before Qi Ranming could react, he was taken aback and shrank back suddenly, staring at the place where the firecracker exploded, a little dazed.

The other servants next to him laughed "haha".

"Why doesn't Mr. Qi know how to hide?"

"Young Master Qi looks so cute when he's scared, hahahahaha!"

Jiang Yu was helpless and funny, stepped forward to pat Qi Ranming's side face, leaned closer and asked, "Why, are you really scared?"

The redness on Qi Ranming's face deepened suspiciously, he took a step back and said in a low voice, "No."

Jiang Yu looked at him with a smile, reached out to pick up the confetti wrapped in firecrackers flying over Qi Ranming's hair, and threw it away.Then he turned his head and pretended to be angry, and said to the servants: "You can play, be appropriate, don't hurt him."

"Yes, my lord," the servants said with a smile, "No! Mr. Qi is so stupid that he didn't notice it at all."

Jiang Yu looked at Qi Ranming and smiled again, and asked him in a low voice, "Have you played before?"

Qi Ranming shook his head and said slowly: "No."
