I'm a bully in troubled times

The co-author Shi Xiang came to be a lobbyist, trying to win over Jiang Yu.

"Our Highness lost his parents when he was young, and came to the throne at the age of four. He has learned ten percent of Duke Su's violent and bloodthirsty skills, but he has not learned anything about Duke Su's great talent. Because Duke Su died suddenly, His Highness He always felt that someone had murdered his father, and he was full of vigilance and suspicion towards our subjects, and after a long time, he fell into a madness, and took pleasure in torturing others every day."

In Jin Hou's mind, if there is anything called desire or ideal, it is probably the destruction of the world.If because of Jiang Yu's death in Quwo, Jin State and Yan State turned against each other and caused troubles to Zhao Di and Shi Xiang, he would probably be more than happy.Even if the state of Jin and the state of Yan fight, he might even applaud.

Qi Ranming looked at Jiang Yu, thinking that when Jiang Yu was assassinated, Qi Ranming also helped Jiang Yu block the knife.At that time, they suspected many people, but they didn't expect that it was Ji Mengming who really did it.

Going out from Shi Xiang's mansion, in the carriage back to the post house, Qi Ranming recalled what Shi Xiang said, and sighed a little: "You have been in contact with Marquis Jin recently, what do you think of him now? Is what Shi Xiang said true? Is he really crazy?"

Jiang Yu: "Crazy is not crazy, but there is always something abnormal."

Since Jiang Yu came here last year, he felt that Ji Mengming looked weird, sometimes violent, he would punch and kick the palace people at every turn, and when he asked him for help, he was pitiful like a helpless teenager.

After coming this time, the hatred or joy in Ji Mengming's eyes from time to time also gave people a very strong sense of disobedience.

"So, do you believe Shi Xiang's words?" Qi Ranming asked.

"You can't believe it all, but you have to believe it." Jiang Yu said, "But according to Shi Xiang's statement, it makes sense. The intention of the person who assassinated me. After all, a person like Marquis Jin cannot Take it with common sense."

"The fact that you have been to Shi Xiang's place will soon reach the Marquis of Jin, and he must be suspicious of you."

Jiang Yu said: "Let him be suspicious, he has been sitting in this position for a while."

Within two days, Zhao Di brought the broken jade pendant to Jiang Yu again and asked Jiang Yu to repair it for him.

After the jade pendant was handed over to Gongsun Ke, Zhao Di did not leave in a hurry, but stayed behind.Jiang Yu asked someone to serve Zhao Di a cup of tea, and chatted for a while.

In the past few days, after Zhao Di went back to the mansion, out of prudence, he asked his people to check the jade pendant again. As Gongsun Ke said, it is a slow poison, and it will only produce effect after a long period of time.Zhao Di ordered people to check the craftsmen he had found, and they were all ordinary craftsmen. After excluding these people, Zhao Di knew what to do.

In the past few years, Ji Mengming has become more and more disobedient and difficult to control. This has already made Zhao Di feel dissatisfied. Anyway, the child has already been born.Ji Mengming didn't want to do it, and he had children.

"I heard that Lord Sui Yang has visited Lord Shi?"

"Yes, I went the day before yesterday, Master Shi didn't look very well."

Zhao Di was more thoughtful than Shi Xiang. As soon as his jade pendant had an accident, Shi Xiang was assassinated by a young man in the mansion. As soon as he thought about it, he felt that it was not a coincidence, someone was targeting him and Shi Xiang at the same time.

Undoubtedly Ji Mengming's suspicion is the biggest.

It's just that I don't know if there is any evidence from Shi Xiang. He went to Shi Xiang's mansion to ask about it that day, but Shi Xiang didn't say anything.

However, Jiang Yu had to be on guard, after all, there was his shadow in these two incidents.

In fact, Zhao Di also thought about one person, the one who killed his son and Shi Xiang's son during the New Year's Eve, causing him and Shi Xiang to fight.But this time the matter is different from the last time, last time the person intended to stir up conflicts between him and Shi Xiang and let them fight, but this time he came directly at them.

Many mysteries are entangled together, and Zhao Di's hair has turned gray recently—his wife Zhao Yinshi ran back to her mother's house after he locked her up that day, and he had to coax her back.I really only know how to make trouble.

"Master Zhao, Master Zhao?" Jiang Yu shouted several times, but Zhao Di didn't answer, "What is Master Zhao thinking?"

Zhao Di suddenly came back to his senses, and smiled wearily: "It's just that I've been a little tired recently, so you don't have to worry about Sui Yang."

Holding the teacup in his hand, Jiang Yu gently shook the tea in the cup, and said, "Lord Zhao is the pillar of the country, you need to take care of your health. Even though His Royal Highness Marquis Jin is too young, he can't understand that you are the king of Jin. good intentions."

Zhao Di's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Jiang Yu: "Suiyang Jun, what does this mean?"

Jiang Yu put down his teacup and raised his eyes: "Master Zhao, do you need Jiang to explain again?"

Zhao Di frowned slightly.

Jiang Yu said: "Master Zhao must know that when Master Shi bought the young man into the mansion, Jiang had seen the young man in the market that day."

"I've heard of it," said Zhao Di. Zhao Di was very clear about the ins and outs. First, Mr. Zhongli couldn't bear the young man being beaten, so he bought the young man. Then Shi Xiang came. Jiang Yu wanted to save the young man for Mr. Zhongli, but finally Still begged by Shi Xiang.

"According to Lord Suiyang, is there something wrong with that young man?" Zhao Di asked.

"There is a problem," Jiang Yu said, "The problem is not small. Although the boy's face was covered with dirt that day, Jiang looked at him and vaguely felt like a person."

"Who?"

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and said softly, "Your Majesty, Your Highness Marquis of Jin."

Zhao Di's eyes froze: "The monarch?"

"Exactly." Jiang Yu said, "Mr. Zhongli is also here. If Mr. Zhao doesn't believe it, you can ask him. Mr. Zhao will never doubt Mr. Zhongli's character if he doesn't believe Jiang's words."

As soon as the young man entered the mansion, he was doted on by Shi Xiang day and night, except for the people in the mansion, how could outsiders see it?Besides, before the accident, how could Zhao Di care about a young lady?After the accident, the boy was dead without a whole body.

This was the first time that Zhao Di knew that the boy's appearance was somewhat similar to His Royal Highness Jinhou.

This shows what?

First, Shi Xiang has always coveted the Marquis of Jin, and second, the people behind the scenes know that Shi Xiang has coveted the Marquis of Jin.He didn't know about this kind of thing, so how could outsiders know?Except for Ji Mengming himself.

There is also a possibility that Zhao Di looked at Jiang Yu suspiciously. He knew that when Jiang Yu first came to Quwo, he met Ji Mengming in private, and the two walked away from each other and chatted alone for an hour.

But this hour alone should not be enough to arrange these... The suspicion in Zhao Di's heart faded.

If it's really Jiang Yu, what's the point of him telling himself this?

"Jun Sui Yang means..."

"Master Zhao still can't see it?" Jiang Yu said, "Jiang is just reminding Master Zhao, is it worth serving such a lord? Master Zhao and Lord Shi have devoted themselves to the state of Jin and devoted themselves to Jin, but they are treated like this by the lord." Suspicious...Jiang is really worthless for an adult."

What Jiang Yu said hit Zhao Di's heart, and gave him the best excuse for the desire that had been hidden in his heart for many years and was ready to move but could not be expressed.

"To tell the truth, Master Zhao," Jiang Yu said, "Actually, when we first arrived in Quwo, the Marquis of Jin summoned Jiang."

"Oh?"

"That day His Highness said to Jiang that he hoped that Jiang could help him eradicate traitors and regain power. He would like to grant three cities to Yan."

Zhao Di's heart shook slightly. He never took Ji Mengming seriously. He was just a child with claws but no fangs. How could he be so arrogant?I didn't expect a child to have such thoughts.Wanted to kill him, and did it.

"It seems that Lord Suiyang didn't agree." Zhao Di said with some sarcasm, "Maybe he agreed on the surface, but in fact he was obedient and obedient."

Jiang Yu sighed: "Lord Zhao, Jiang has no other choice. His Royal Highness the Marquis of Jin is a vassal, and Jiang Yu is just a small Yaqing in the Kingdom of Yan. He dare not disobey the Marquis of Jin, but what the Marquis of Jin wants is too much. It's hard for Jiang."

"Master Zhao holds the Sun and Moon Pavilion in his hands, and the entire Quwo is under the supervision of Master Zhao. You and Master Shi hold half of the army of the Jin Kingdom alone. You want to single out the two of you, Mr. Jiang. But I don’t have the guts, and I don’t have the ability.”

"So, in Jiang's view, choosing His Highness is worse than choosing you—"

At this point, it is very clear.

Zhao Di's heart was pounding, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yu, his ambition surfaced for the first time.

"Master Shi is just a licentious person, relying on his ancestral family business to get what he is today, but from Jiang's point of view, the Shi family is already on the decline."

"How to say?"

Jiang Yu said: "Master Zhao should also listen to the voices of the common people more. Don't look down on the common people, Mr. Zhao. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The Shi family has already been popular among the people. Has Mr. Zhao ever heard that 'Xiangshu has Skin, stone without form! Stone without form, why not die?' sentence?"

When Jiang Yu was neglected and humiliated by Shi's son Shi Hu in Pingling, he adapted the chapter "Xiangshu" and ordered people to spread it. Originally, he changed it to "Tiger" and had no manners. see you.After he added fuel to the flames a little, the poem spread spontaneously, and changed the character for tiger to the character for stone.Now this psalm is almost passed on by word of mouth in the state of Jin, and everyone can sing it.

Of course Zhao Di had heard of it, and secretly ridiculed Shi Xiang with this sentence.After all, there are so many people in the streets and alleys, even if Shi Xiang is angry, it is impossible to arrest everyone and cut them down.

The lord is in an embarrassing position, and the enemy has shown signs of decline. This seems to be the time when he, Zhao Di, became famous and became famous all over the world.

But Zhao Di still has a little concern.

"...Nowadays, the princes from all over the world are all enshrined by the emperor, and Ji is the surname of the royal family. Zhao..."

"History books are written by the victors, and the world is home to those who are capable. Mr. Zhao has devoted himself to the state of Jin. He holds a heavy army and holds great power. Can't he be called a prince?"

"Today, the Son of Heaven is useless, as long as Mr. Zhao has real power, what can the Son of Heaven do to you?"

Power is Zhao Di's biggest and most uncontrollable desire. The closer a person is to the center of power, the more he desires to reach the top and become the one above everyone else.

Zhao Di felt that his blood seemed to be boiling, and he clenched the small porcelain cup tightly, as if he had already grasped the power in his hands, as if he had seen himself sitting on the throne of the princes , to accept the worship of all peoples.

Why can't the person sitting in that position be him?

Seeing that Zhao Di has been persuaded by him, Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zhao Di's desire is aroused and the seed is planted, the desire for power will overwhelm Zhao Di sooner or later, and he will start to participate in this competition .Where there is competition, there must be loss.

Letting Zhao Di and Shi Xiang fight for power is much more effective than fighting over their son.

After all, there is only one position.

"... Suiyang Jun said this to Zhao, what is the purpose?" Because of being too excited, Zhao Di even had a little shortness of breath and found it difficult to speak.But he remained sober.

Jiang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Jiang Yu also got a piece of news recently."

"what news?"

"Jiang Yu learned that it was your monarch, His Highness the Marquis of Jin, who assassinated Jiang in the posthouse last year. The news is true. So Jiang believes that it is too dangerous to deal with such an uncertain monarch."

"But on the contrary, Jiang admires Master Zhao's great talent and strategy very much." Having said this, Jiang Yu stood up, bowed to Zhao Di to the end, and said word by word, "Master Zhao has always been kind to Jiang Yu. Of course Jiang knows. So if the person sitting on it is Mr. Zhao, Jiang hopes that the two countries will always be good friends, that there will be no military incidents, and that the border of Yan Kingdom will be restored to peace."

"I don't know if Mr. Zhao has this ambition?"
