I'm a bully in troubled times

The next day, Gongsun Ke found that his master's mood seemed to be getting better.Standing at the door of the room refreshed in the morning, looking at the peach and pear blossoms that only bloom in the courtyard in late spring, red and white.

"grown ups."

Jiang Yu turned her head and glanced at him, with the first real smile on her face since leaving Quwo.

"Has he woke up yet?"

"No." Gongsun Ke said, "I must be tired these days."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Let the kitchen prepare meals, don't wait for him to get hungry after he gets up." After a pause, he added, "Make more sweets, he likes sweets."

"Yes." Gongsun Ke said with a smile, "The misunderstanding has been resolved?"

Jiang Yu nodded, smiled and looked in the direction of Qi Ranming's room: "I misunderstood. I didn't ask that day, and he didn't explain."

"The matter of the Ji Mansion..."

Jiang Yu glanced at him sideways: "It's really a pot that doesn't open and a pot to lift."

"My subordinates are wrong."

"I'm going to the Xun Mansion right now, you stay at the mansion and take care of him for me." Jiang Yu went out after giving orders.

Although he hadn't been here for a few months, Qi Ranming's room was still as clean as when he was there during the New Year's Eve. It was obvious that someone cleaned it from time to time, and there was no dust left.This made Qi Ranming very happy, and slept peacefully for a whole night without waking up, nor did he have any nightmares.At the end of the hour, when it was approaching the time of Si, Qi Ranming woke up.

After waking up, a servant came to help him wash and change his clothes.Qi Ranming was not used to it, but they said Jiang Yu ordered it.

"My lord has ordered, treat you as you would treat him himself, young master, please don't make things difficult for us."

"He went out?"

"I went out early in the morning." The boy said, "My lord has been like this these days. But..."

"But what?" Qi Ranming asked.

The servant smiled, and brushed the teeth marks on Qi Ranming's neck: "However, before the lord left the house this morning, he seemed to be in a much better mood than before. This must be the son's credit."

Qi Ranming tugged at his neckline, pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't answer.

After washing and changing, someone brought hot food to Qi Ranming's room.Qi Ranming was bored in the mansion, so he mingled with the family guards and practiced with them.At noon, Jiang Yu came back.

Said to come back for dinner.

Jiang Yu was busy for a few more days, and finally finished the funeral for the time being.It is said that it is temporarily because the burial will be three months later, and the burial cannot be done for the time being. This is a rule.

In fact, while helping Xun Bowen preside over the funeral, Jiang Yu was not idle in his spare time, but looked through all the materials left by Xun Shu.He also met with Yanhou, and discussed with Yanhou the current situation and process of Yan's reform.

Change is not easy. Although the Marquis of Yan is in charge of the overall situation, and some civilians promoted by Xunshu are easy to plan together, the resistance encountered is still not small.The biggest resistance is the conservatives headed by Dong Xiong.

And these days, Jiang Yu is also planning how to minimize Dong Xiong's obstacles, and he is fully prepared.

"Let Dong Xiong be dismissed?" Qi Ranming was a little surprised, and thought for a while, "Dong Xiong has a strong influence in the country of Yan, and the most important thing is to have the protection of the queen and the prince. If you want him to be dismissed, unless he commits something serious forgiven mistakes."

"It's ready-made." Jiang Yu said.

Qi Ranming thought for a while: "You mean the death of the ruling lord?"

Jiang Yu nodded: "I have already considered, if possible, I would like to uproot the entire Dong family."

"Unless it's treason." Qi Ranming said.

"Yes." Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's just that there is no evidence yet, and I still need enough evidence to make Dong Shi no longer stand."

"Back then my parents were accused of poisoning Marquis Yan and died in prison unjustly. I don't believe that Mrs. Dong didn't participate. As long as I can get this evidence, no matter how powerful Mrs. Dong is, it will be useless."

Qi Ranming: "After so many years, the evidence may have been destroyed. The insider didn't disclose it back then, and presumably they won't disclose it now."

Jiang Yu sighed: "Yes, it is not easy to overturn the old case of more than ten years ago."

"So I want to take it step by step, first use my uncle's affairs to take Dong Xiong's position, and then slowly plot."

Qi Ranming paused, and asked: "Dong Xiong really poisoned the ruling lord?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him suddenly, and said, "Your title is not appropriate."

Qi Ranming paused, turned his eyes away unnaturally, and quietly blushed the tips of his ears.

"What's inappropriate?" he whispered.

Jiang Yu: "Too raw."

"What's the birth?" Qi Ranming said.

Jiang Yu smiled, leaned on the back of the chair, stretched her arms around Qi Ranming's shoulders, turned her head to look at Qi Ranming's side face and said, "It's impolite, you should call me uncle."

Qi Ranming: "I haven't met you formally."

"It's true that I've neglected you a bit, but uncle's funeral, it's not appropriate to mention these things at this time. I'm still in my filial piety. In a few months, I'll take you to meet my parents and then my aunt."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu felt a little regretful.

"I should have brought you to meet uncle earlier, and I should see him during the New Year's Eve. I never thought that if I missed it, I would..."

"Did you catch up with uncle for the last time when you came back?" The man quietly changed his address.

Jiang Yu shook his head.

"It's a few hours away. Uncle left at Chenshi, and I didn't come back until nearly noon."

"Sorry, I shouldn't have been there..."

"What are you apologizing for?" Jiang Yu said, "It's not your fault."

"In fact, Dong Xiong did poison his uncle, but he was stopped by the chief steward who found out. The medicine could not be given to his uncle to drink, but he failed."

"But this is considered to be evidence." Qi Ranming said.

"Yes, when I go to court tomorrow, I will report this matter to the monarch. Dong Xiong murdered the court officials and caused the death of the pillars of the country. This crime is enough for him to drink a pot."

Jiang Yu's actions were quick, and before Qi Ranming came, Jiang Yu had already arranged everything against Dong Xiong.

The next day, King Yan's Palace.

After all the officials reported their political affairs, Marquis Yan looked down at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and said: "If there is something to do, we will play, and if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court."

Yan Hou was exhausted, with an ambition to compete in the world, but sometimes his manpower was exhausted, even though he was a prince, he couldn't do everything well.The matter of reform was first proposed by Jiang Xuanzi more than ten years ago, and the Marquis of Yan wanted to support it vigorously, but it ended without a problem.

Now Xun Shu proposed again that he tried his best to overcome all difficulties and vigorously promote the New Deal, but he did not expect that Xun Shu would die halfway.In the past few days, without Xun Shu's good helper, the implementation of Yanhou's New Deal has become even more difficult.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu came back and was able to help him share the pressure.After Jiang Yu returned to the country, he pleaded guilty to him, failed to fulfill the king's life, failed to help Ji Mengming eradicate Zhao and Shi's two thieves, and instead watched Zhao and Shi's two thieves kill the king.

However, Marquis Yan didn't care too much. After all, he was not a fool. He could see that the state of Jin had become divided, and it would no longer have the strength and threat it once had.After losing a strong enemy, Yan Hou is still satisfied.

What's more, Jiang Yu also made good friends with Zhao Di, and indeed learned some experience of Jin's reform.

However, Marquis Yan found that Jiang Yu in the court today seemed a little absent-minded.He couldn't help muttering, what Jiang Yu was thinking.

Seeing that no one played, Yan Hou was about to say that he would retreat from the court, when he saw a butcher coming forward with a wat.

"His Royal Highness, I have this performance."

A Zafu is an official who maintains order and pickets ministers for their misbehavior.

"Xia Qing, please speak." Marquis Yan's eyelids twitched, and he glanced at Jiang Yu, who had his head down, for no reason. thing.

Xia Zaifu said: "I want to impeach Mr. Dong Xiong and Mr. Dong, murder his colleagues, and poison the court officials!"

When Xia Zaifu said this, everyone in the court was shocked.

Yan Hou knew that his premonition was true, and it turned out to be true.However, Marquis Yan heard something tricky from it, looked at Dong Xiong with a sullen face, and said: "Xia Qing, please speak clearly, falsely accusing others is to sit back, not to mention that you are falsely accusing Dong Qing."

Facing the surprised or suspicious gazes of all the civil and military officials of the court, including Dong Xiong and Yanhou, Xia Zaifu did not change his face, "Boom!" He knelt down, holding the testimony he had tried, and said in grief and indignation: "Your Highness!"

"Dong Xiong was ambitious, with insidious and cruel means. Because he was dissatisfied with the ruling lord's implementation of the new policy and harmed his interests, he killed him! He bought the servants of the ruling lord's house, poisoned the ruling lord's medicine, and the ruling lord died tragically! "

"Your Highness! Use such appalling and heinous cruel methods to treat a pillar of the country! If you still turn a blind eye, you may be chilling the hearts of hundreds of millions of subjects in Yan Kingdom, Your Highness!"

Xia Zaifu was over fifty years old, he was already quite old in this age, he was filled with righteous indignation, and his words were sonorously presented in the hall, causing all officials to turn pale and discuss a lot.Xia Zaifu is famous for being upright, even if Marquis Yan did something against the rules, he would still speak out with a straight neck.

Moreover, relying on the officials to say this kind of thing is more legitimate than Jiang Yu himself.

Therefore, Jiang Yu only revealed some half-truths and half-false news to him, and Xia Zaifu began to investigate by himself.

Yan Hou looked at Dong Xiong: "Dong Qing, what do you say?"

Dong Xiong's face was obviously a bit ugly, but he still held his breath, and replied after hearing the words: "Return to Your Highness, I don't know what Lord Xia is talking about."

"I don't know?" Xia Zaifu asked suddenly, "Master Dong thinks that you can get rid of the crime of murdering the court official if you don't know?!"

Dong Xiong's face darkened, and said: "Lord Xia, you keep saying that I murdered Lord Xun, but what evidence do you have?"

"Of course!" Xia Zaifu said, "How could I slander Master Dong with empty teeth in front of the king and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?"

Zaifu Xia looked at Marquis Yan, presented the testimony with both hands, and said: "Your Highness, this is the testimony of the minister interrogating Cuiyun, a servant girl in Master Xun's residence. Please read it."

"Bring it up." Yanhou said.

The servant immediately took the testimony and presented it to Marquis Yan.Marquis Yan opened it to take a look, frowned slightly, and said after reading, "Dong Qing, take a look for yourself."

The servant then took the testimony to Dong Xiong.

Dong Xiong opened it and took a look. What Jiang Yu was looking for was the servant girl of the Xunfu that Dong Xiong had previously bought and threatened and lured. Dong Xiong's things were real, so what Cuiyun said was also true.

Dong Xiong knew it was true at a glance, but he remained calm, closed the testimony and said: "Does Master Xia want to convict me just based on the one-sided words of a maid?"

"Of course not!" Xia Zaifu said, "Your Highness, the old minister still wants to bring two witnesses up, please allow your Highness."

Marquis Yan looked at Jiang Yu thoughtfully, of course he knew who Dong Xiong was, this was all done by Dong Xiong.But Shazaf is not one to engage in partisan battles.

And Jiang Yu only had such a short time to return to the country, so he was able to investigate these things clearly, choose the right person, and present them to him.This kind of mental planning is not easy.
