Chapter 4 It's You

Sun Jingci is one of the three secretaries of the Fire Country, and the other two secretaries are Zuo Cheng and Right Cheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Among the three Qings, the left, the middle and the right are the largest.

Sun Jingci truly achieved the rank of official on paper in the Land of Fire, under one person and above ten thousand. It was not only his own efforts, but his family's power that laid a good foundation for him early on.

The Sun family was one of the meritorious deeds that assisted the Li Dynasty in making contributions and opening up the country of fire. It's just because the ancestors of the Sun family were low-key, approachable and easy to talk to. Therefore, the official position established at the time of meritorious deeds is not the highest.

This may be the foresight of the ancestors of the Sun family, or it may be the fate that should be like this.

Because a certain part of these meritorious people have already reached the level of high merit.

At the beginning, giving them some sweetness could no longer satisfy their expanding ambitions, and with their lack of desire and dissatisfaction with treatment, their desire was stimulated even more.

The Fire Nation has gone through years of internal political struggles, the centralization of power with the Fire Nation's monarchs, and the fratricidal strife between internal gangs.

The Sun family has turned out to be the only old meritorious family that has only one remaining fruit.

When the throne of the Fire is passed to Li Youmin, the Zhongcheng of the Fire Country is not Sun Jingci of the Sun family, who else can there be?

In fact, in terms of age, Sun Jingci's age is only a few years younger than Li Youmin. And because of the Sun family's status and power in the Land of Fire, Sun Jingci became Li Youmin's companion when he was very young. As they get older and have their own ideas about each other, the relationship between these two old friends, who are also monarchs and ministers, becomes more and more mysterious.

Because they grew up together since childhood, and because they have sympathy between classmates, Sun Jingci and Li Youmin have a very good personal relationship.

But yes, with Li Youmin being made the crown prince, Sun Jingci has realized that he can't be too intimate with Li Youmin.

This may be because Sun Jingci inherited the political vision of the ancestors of the Sun family, or maybe Sun Jingci himself also felt that this classmate Li Youmin had great ambitions and would definitely do something big in the future. Only then did Sun Jingci's attitude towards Li Youmin not dare to go too far and not too close.

However, Li Youmin does not think so. Li Youmin has been kind-hearted since he was a child, and he has never regarded himself as the unattainable heir to the monarch in front of Sun Jingci. Even later, Li Youmin became the monarch of the Fire Country, and in private, he treated Sun Jingci like a good brother before.

Therefore, Sun Jingci has risen all the way quickly, from a decent official to a Zhongcheng in the country of fire, which is beyond doubt.

After all, the Sun family is a famous family, the family is the companion of the monarch, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all tacit.

They treated Sun Jingci even more flatteringly, and they also went to Sun Jingci's house to visit and give gifts during the New Year's holidays.

The end of these officials' visits stemmed from Sun Jingci's sensitivity to politics.

He found. That's not a good thing anymore. On the surface, there will be some people who follow themselves unconsciously. seems to be desperate, but in fact he is just hugging his thighs. Moreover, if the situation develops too drastically, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are so familiar with me, and ignore the king, then is his death still far away?

After that, Sun Jingci rarely picked up customers again. And he went in and out of his mansion very low-key, and gradually, Li Youmin's heart hanging in the high place was also put down.

Li Youmin told himself that after all, this is his good brother since he was a child, and he will not do anything sorry for me. Besides, I, Li Youmin, treat him well.

If Sun Jingci persists like this, he may be able to sit in his Zhongcheng and live a stable life for the rest of his life.

But Sun Jingci's sudden change in recent days has made many people unable to understand it, and many of these people also include Li Youmin.

Sun Jingci suddenly changed in the past six months.

First of all, Sun Jingci and his wife, Mrs. Sun, were originally doll relatives in the family since childhood. And the relationship between the two is very good after they get married. Mrs. Sun teaches her husband and children, and her expenses are not wasted, and she can always comfort her confidant and be empathetic when Sun Jingci is troubled by trivial matters in the court. Therefore, Sun Jingci has not accepted concubines for many years.

At this point, even Li Youmin admires it. often jokes about this old friend in private: "Brother, it's time for you to change your taste." Wouldn't it be too tired to always guard one? Hahaha..."

Sun Jingci's reply was to bow his head and remain silent. And sometimes he shakes his head and smiles bitterly. I think Sun Jingci is laughing at Li Youmin's lack of love!

But not long ago, Sun Jingci suddenly recruited beautiful wives and concubines, and became more and more indifferent to Mrs. Sun, completely ignoring it, as if she had nothing to do with this Mrs. Sun. And Mrs. Sun always wipes her tears secretly behind her back, but it is not easy to attack. After all, I'm no longer young, or maybe men are fickle.

Sun Jingci used to always go in and out of the mansion in a low-key manner, and rarely had any intimate contacts with the court and civil and military forces in private.

However, it was also during this half a year that Sun Jingci became as if he had taken off his coat and became a little unscrupulous.

Whoever gave him gold and silver treasures, beautiful women and silk, he praised them in front of Li Youmin, so that Li Youmin could be promoted quickly.

And those ministers who gave him money and beautiful women often treated him coldly by Sun Jingci.

Sometimes, Sun Jingci still stabbed Li Youmin in the back, and these people saw Sun Jingci as a devil who only took advantage of the benefits.

Because Sun Jingci has become no longer emotional, he only recognizes money and beauties.

Over time, Li Youmin was also unhappy. But he was afraid of the friendship of his classmates back then, as well as the education that Li Youmin received since he was a child. made Li Youmin pay special attention to the kindness of his ancestors, and because of the help of the ancestors of the Sun family to the ancestors of the Li family in the early years, Li Youmin had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

But he would often slap Sun Jingci with words, telling him to be restrained and low-key, if this continues, even I, the monarch of the country of fire, will not be able to protect you.

And Sun Jingci always showed a weird smile like yin and yang and said: "Big brother, brother, who am I, after so many years, don't you understand?"

Such a title makes Li Youmin unhappy, such a tone makes Li Youmin unhappy, and such a smiling face makes Li Youmin unhappy.

But Lee Youmin really wants to do something big to make the Fire Nation strong. So all I think about all day long is about national affairs, and after a long time, I don't bother to deal with Sun Jingci, who has changed his temperament. became a little alienated from Sun Jingci.

However, Sun Jingci has always been dismissive, as if I, Sun Jingci, just want to live happily for a while in the Land of Fire, regardless of what will happen to him in the future?

On this day, the scenery was bright, Sun Jingci said that he was sick, and Li Youmin didn't bother to look at him, let alone ignore him.

So, Sun Jingci hugged the little beauty newly sent by the official last night and continued to be happy.

After being happy, Sun Jingci pushed the woman away, put on the bed clothes by herself, and went out without looking back.

As soon as Sun Jingci walked out of the house, a family member ran in quickly outside the door and said: "Report to the master, there is a Taoist priest outside the door who asks to see him, claiming to be Shi Yuepeng, saying that he is an old friend of the master."

After hearing this, Sun Jingci immediately stopped, turned his face, showed the free-will, cynical smile, and said to himself: "Shi Yuepeng, hehe, haha..."

Shi Yuepeng walked into the door hall and sat down with Sun Jingci, such a behavior even the family felt strange, thinking in his heart: "What's wrong with the old man in the past six months, not to mention the great change in temperament, I will meet such a strange person."

Before Jia Ding could figure it out, Sun Jingci said: "You retreat, there is nothing for you here."

After the family left, only Sun Jingci and Taoist Shi Yuepeng were left in the house.

At this time, Shi Yuepeng first saluted, and then both of them laughed.

After the laughter, Shi Yuepeng said as if he was an old friend: "Senior Brother Zhang Yang, don't come unharmed."

And Sun Jingci, who was called Senior Brother Zhang Yang, at this moment, still showed his unique, cynical, and whatever he wanted.

responded and said: "It turned out to be you, Senior Brother Pingchang, hehe, and Shi Yuepeng, aren't you called Dong Pingchang?"

After saying that, both of them laughed again.

However, behind this laughter, there are secrets hidden by the two of them.
