(2-in-1) "If it weren't for this rebellion, I would have almost missed the opportunity to identify a pillar of talent, and this is probably one of the few gains of this rebellion. Lin Jue, you do a good job for me, you will be the mainstay of the court in the future, I am very optimistic about you. This time, I made an exception to move you from the sixth rank to the fourth grade, and gave you a knighthood, which can be regarded as a small compensation for me. Throughout the ages, there are very few people who have become a four-grade member at the age of twenty-two. Look at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who didn't boil until he had a lot of beard and eyebrows to get to the official position of the fourth grade or above. I'm not kind of to you, am I? ”

Guo Chong looked at Lin Jue with a smile on his face.

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "The emperor is long, and the ministers are grateful. The ministers will do their best to serve the court and live up to the emperor's grace. ”

Guo Chong nodded, turned his head to look at the flowers in the garden, and suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Lin Jue, help me up and take a walk, I have a little back pain when I sit down." Let's talk as we walk around the garden. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly responded and stepped forward to stretch out his hand. Guo Chong grabbed Lin Jue's wrist and stood up. The moment he touched the skin of Lin Jue's wrist, Lin Jue felt that Guo Chong's hand was cold, as if he was being grabbed by a dead man's hand, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on his body. Guo Chong borrowed a lot of strength, and he almost completely relied on the strength of Lin Jue's arm to stand up, which made Lin Jue feel even more puzzled. Is the emperor's body already so weak? Is it so hard to get up and walk?

Guo Chong stood in place and gasped for a moment, and then he went down the platform steps with Lin Jue's support, and when he reached the flat ground, he could finally let go of Lin Jue's hand, without support, and walked slowly forward with his hands. He walked ahead, stooping to look at the blooming flowers by the roadside, and then twisting the leaves of the green branches to sniff at the end of his nose, with a pleasant smile on his face. Lin Jue walked behind Guo Chong's side, ready to step forward to help him at any time, because he saw that Guo Chong's steps were vain and weak, and even some signs of mixing garlic, for fear that Guo Chong would fall. Seeing that Guo Chong admired the flowers and green leaves, and was a little greedy and even nostalgic, Lin Jue was even more puzzled in his heart.

Next to the rockery on the side of a small cluster of green bamboos, Guo Chong stopped, held the bluestone in his hand and turned to Lin Jue and said, "You can tell me about the situation on Jingdong West Road." Yang Jun told me something, but I still wanted to ask you about the situation in person. After all, I have experienced a great chaos, I am afraid that the people's hearts are fluctuating and the people's hearts are uneasy. I've heard you don't seem to be tough enough. You can't have the kindness of a woman. Those who should be killed must be killed, otherwise the legacy will not be eliminated, and they will suffer from it. ”

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the overall situation on Jingxi Road is still stable now, and the effect of the minister's reform and probation of the bandits is still obvious. All localities are carrying out activities to accuse and reflect on the Qingjiao cult. The new state and county officials also attach great importance to this. It is believed that officials in various localities have reported their mistakes. The minister adopted a gentle policy, trying to restore order as soon as possible and stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible. Therefore, most of the people who follow the bandits adopt the method of leniency and self-examination and education. For some people who are deeply poisoned, but there is room for salvation, punishment is not used. The method of residential surveillance is used to reduce the pressure on the government, and at the same time, it allows the government and their relatives to work together to reform them. Of course, for the stubborn, the remnants of the Qingjiao who are secretly causing chaos. For those Qingjiao bandits who have done a lot of evil and concealed the facts, the ministers still have no mercy. The minister just hopes to kill as few people as possible and create less panic in the people's hearts, which is generally beneficial to appeasing the people's hearts. ”

Guo Chong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "You are a pacifier, you think it is useful, and I don't want to interfere with you too much." I believe in your abilities, otherwise I wouldn't have sent you as this appeaser. If you have any problems, just tell me. I try to solve the problem for you. As long as it is beneficial to the stability of Jingxi Road, I can agree. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." If you want to say that it is difficult, it must be there. One is the shortage of supplies. Winter has arrived, and after the bandits are devastated, the problems of food, firewood, clothing, and shelter for millions of people on Jingxi Road will have to be solved. The minister knew that this was a lot of expenses, but compared to stability, money, food and materials were nothing. The most feared thing is that famine and freezing will worsen the already unstable situation. Therefore, the basic necessities of material and food need to be guaranteed in a continuous supply. Make sure the people survive this winter. ”

Guo Chong nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry about these things, my people, I won't let them starve to death." I will ask them to come up with this food supply to ensure the supply of Jingxi Road. Although the imperial court is in difficulty with money and food, there are still such things. ”

Lin Jue bowed down and said: "On behalf of millions of people on Jingxi Road, thank you to the emperor's Longen." With the emperor's words, the minister has absolute confidence to do a good job of appeasement. The minister has a suggestion that the imperial court is indeed in difficulty, and most of the millions of people on Jingxi Road rely on relief, and the consumption is really not small. The minister proposed to come to a counterpart to help. Launch a thrifty food and clothing campaign. This may reduce the burden on the imperial court. After all, this is not a matter of one or two months, and for most of this winter and next spring, Jingdong and West Road will need relief. ”

Guo Chong smiled: "How can you help?" How to cut down on food and clothing? ”

Lin Juedao: "To put it bluntly, it is the help of the state capital to the state capital and the county to the county. We still have a lot of rich prefectures in Dazhou, such as the capital, which is much richer than Yingtianfu. There are also Hangzhou Mansion, Jiangning Mansion and Suzhou Mansion in the south, all of which are rich places. We can have two or three state capitals to carry out local-to-local relief in the state capital of a state capital on Jingxi Road. To put it simply, it is to mobilize the people to save a piece of clothing and eat a bowl of rice and noodles, which is nothing to the state capital of a rich land, but after summing up, it is a large amount of money, food and materials. Of course, for example, with the relief and assistance of Jiangning, Hangzhou and Beijing, the three cities can save a lot of money, food and materials for the imperial court. Suzhou and Yangzhou two mansions to help Xingren Mansion. Take the big week

His wealthy state and county counterparts help the rest of the states and counties on Jingxi Road, and gather the power of the imperial court and the people, which will reduce a lot of burden on the imperial court, and the people in the state capitals will not be greatly affected. Of course, all this is a voluntary principle, and it must not be forced, and then it will become a exploitation of the people. ”

Guo Chong's brows twitched, and his eyes were full of surprise: "Oh, you really have a lot of ideas, I think this method is feasible?" and it will be effective. To be honest, the relief of millions of people on Jingxi Road is really a big burden. In this way, if the people are enthusiastic, the imperial court can really reduce a lot of burden. Well, doable, doable. I think it's possible. You do it, you need me to do something, you say, I will help. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Thank you for the emperor's approval, if you really want to do this, you naturally need the emperor's help." The emperor wants to get the support of the local government, this is one of them. Second, the emperor also needs to be a model and donate clothes and food. The mothers, concubines, and fathers-in-law guards in the palace also did what they could. In this way, it can be the first in the world to play a role in setting an example. The minister thought that to set the tone for this matter, that is, 'one party is in trouble and all parties support it, so that Da Zhou is full of love.' This can not only solve the practical problem of relief, but also boost and sublimate the people's atmosphere in the whole world of the Great Zhou. ”

"Hahaha, good, good! Wonderful. You can figure it out. I've decided, and I've let you do it. You've thought so carefully and concretely, only you can do it. Lin Jue, I'm glad that you can empathize with the difficulties of the imperial court, and come up with a way to deal with it, which is much better than those who only complain and frown. If there were a few more like you in the court, wouldn't I have saved a lot of trouble. ”

Guo Chong was very happy, he felt that Lin Jue's method was clever. In fact, to put it bluntly, if this thing is done, the imperial court will save a lot of money and food, not to mention, it can also be used as a positive atmosphere propaganda to boost the overall mental outlook. The Great Zhou has been decadent recently, and this positive energy is needed to boost it. But in fact, to put it bluntly, the whole thing is a disguised robbery of the rich and helping the poor, which is quite a suspicion of moral kidnapping.

Lin Jue's idea has always been there. On the way back to Beijing, Lin Jue thought about the situation of relief and pacification on the Jingxi Road, and he thought that it might not be too much of a problem for the imperial court to allocate money and grain once or twice. But the entire Jingxi Road will not be able to be self-sufficient until next summer. After the rebellion was put down, the summer grain planted by the people will not be harvested until next summer. In this long period of more than half a year, most of the millions of people relied on the relief of the imperial court, which was a huge amount of money, food and materials. The imperial court cannot afford to pay for it. Therefore, Lin Jue came up with such a method based on the experience he had gained on the earth, combining the means of love donation and transfer payment. Overall, Lin Jue's goal is just to hope that the millions of people on Jingxi Road can survive the harsh winter and regain their lives.

"Go on, what's the difficulty." Guo Chong held a bamboo leaf in his hand, turned around and continued to walk forward.

"The minister hopes to arrange a few deputies for the minister, the east and west roads are so big, and the minister can't do everything even if he breaks his leg. The next relief needs to be more detailed and cumbersome, and the minister doesn't want to make a mess because of the minister's lack of skills. Lin Jue said.

"It's easy to do, and it takes a lot of energy to help the people who are right, and the specific relief naturally needs to be handled by specific people. All you have to do is sit in command of the capital. I have a few lieutenants for you, are there any officials you know who can be used? I can recommend one or two. Or I can send you a few capable ones. Guo Chong nodded. Guo Chong knew that the matter of relief and pacification was cumbersome and complicated, and Lin Jue's request was not too much at all.

"Thank you to the emperor, the minister recommended the two, please ask the emperor to decide. One is Yang Xiu, the acting criminal officer of the Kaifeng Prefecture Criminal Division, who was the minister's deputy before, and the two of us can do things with half the effort. Lin Jue said.

"Yang Xiu? Hehe, you're pretty good to him. The last time you went to work in the Criminal Division, you also asked me to take him with you. You've been very supportive of him. Guo Chong said with a smile.

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "This has nothing to do with intimacy, the minister and Yang Xiu are indeed friends, but the minister mainly likes his talent." The emperor must not misunderstand. Besides, this position of deputy envoy to appease is not an official position, nor is it a promotion. ”

Guo Chong smiled: "I just said that. It's great to have people who want to work together. I promise you yes. You tell Yang Xiu that the appeasement is done, and that is a great achievement. Show his ability well and share his worries for the court, and the court will not treat him well. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Guo Chong said: "Is there anyone else?" One deputy envoy is not enough, at least three or four must be there. ”

Lin Jue said: "The minister recommends another person, this person is called Du Weichuan, and the minister thinks that this person is available." ”

"Du Weiji? That's a familiar name. I seem to have heard the name. Where did he serve? Guo Chong frowned and thought.

"Du Weijian is a jinshi in the same department as the minister, the minister is the champion, and he is the second leader." Lin Juedao.

Guo Chong said suddenly: "Oh, oh, I remembered, Du Wei gradually ...... Well, I've seen it. But...... It seems that this person is not in the court. I seem to remember his resignation. Am I mistaken? ”

Lin Jue bowed and said: "The emperor is not mistaken, Du Wei gradually resigned and returned to his hometown in Haizhou, Jingdong Road, to farm. ”

Guo Chong frowned and said, "Why did he resign?" ”

Lin Jue said: "It's for the new law." At the beginning, he and his ministers both served in the public house of the Ministry of Ordinances, and he contributed a lot to the formulation and release of the two new laws. Later, because of the difference between the two adults and Yan Fang on the new laws and regulations, he resigned and returned to his hometown. Weichen was also expelled from the division by Mr. Fang that time. ”

Guo Chong looked at Lin Jue and said, "So, he."

I'm a like-minded person with you. But this kind of person who resigns at every turn must be very arrogant, and I don't like this kind of person the most. My idea is that whoever wants to be a master of the world, I will never stop me. I'm not used to the stinky problems of these people. This kind of person, don't use it. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, although Du Weijian is indeed a little arrogant, he is the most serious and responsible one he has ever seen. At the beginning, almost all of the new laws and regulations were written by him, and he could not meet his eyes for three days and three nights, and consider the new laws and regulations. The reason for his resignation was actually to argue for the new law to be more perfect and feasible, for the sake of the imperial court, and definitely not out of personal will. The emperor said that he had a bad temper, and didn't the minister insist on his own opinion at the beginning? He is actually the same kind of person. Du Wei is gradually unavailable, and the minister is also an unusable person. ”

Guo Chong glared at Lin Jue and said, "Do you have to refute me to be happy?" He is him, you are you, what does it matter? What did he do for the imperial court? You have done a great service to the court. You didn't pick and go like he did. ”

"Yes, yes, Du Wei's gradual resignation is indeed reckless, but after all, he is a young man. The emperor is broad-minded, how can he care about this? Du Weijian does have some ability, and he is also careful and meticulous in his work, if he participates in the relief and pacification of things, he will do it perfectly. Chancellor believes this. Didn't the emperor also say, how am I a rising star in the Great Zhou? Why don't you give Du Weijian a chance. The position of the deputy envoy to appease is also an official position, and if he does not do well, he will be allowed to go back to farming. Lin Jue said in a low voice.

Guo Chong snorted and said, "It seems that if I don't promise you, you won't give up." That's it, yes. ”

Lin Jue was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty." In this way, the minister can ensure that the relief and pacification work is successfully completed. ”

Guo Chong sneered: "You are satisfied, but I am a little uncomfortable." There's no excuse now. If the relief and pacification are done badly, I will not be able to spare you. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "The minister will do his best. However, the minister has one more request. ”

"And? Lin Jue, you are insatiable. Or I will be a pacifier for you. It's not good to ask for too much. Guo Chong shouted with disgust.

Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "The emperor is angry, and the minister's request is after the relief and pacification is over." It might be more appropriate to say that it is suggested. ”

Guo Chong sat down on a stone bench under a tree, and Qian Delu came out of nowhere and shouted: "The emperor can't sit directly on the stone bench, it's cold on it." Hurry up, get the cotton pad. ”

An attendant quickly took a cotton pad and put it on the stone bench, and Guo Chong sat down. After Qian Delu personally brought a pot of tea, he disappeared again satisfied.

Guo Chong poured himself a cup of tea, the tea was warm, not hot or cold, and he drank it dry in one gulp.

"Say, what's that advice?" Guo Chong said.

Lin Jue pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Weichen thinks, can the emperor make a decree to allow the suspension of the implementation of the two new laws of "Changping New Law" and "Employment Law" on Jingxi Road?" ”

Guo Chong had a slap in his hand and almost knocked over the teacup. His soft face suddenly turned gloomy.

What do you mean by that? If you want me to stop implementing the new law on Jingdong West Road, is it a hint that you are also like the ministers of the court, and you are also blaming the new law implemented by the imperial court for this rebellion? Guo Chong shouted in a deep voice.

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean this, the minister just thought about the stability of Jingxi Road." The court's current pacification strategy is actually only to temporarily stabilize the situation. Millions of people on Jingxi Road will not be a long-term solution if they rely entirely on the imperial court's relief and assistance. After surviving this winter, next year is naturally to actively resume production and be self-sufficient. But...... The minister believes that with the current situation in Jingxi Road, it is possible to suspend the implementation of the two new laws of "Changping" and "Employment". After all, at the beginning of spring next year, the situation of the people will not be alleviated. If you take on official loans and hired money, I am afraid that people's hearts will be in turmoil again. If the implementation of these two laws can be suspended, people's livelihood can be restored and people can breathe. It is not known whether the minister's consideration can be Zhou Xiang. ”

Guo Chong glared at Lin Jue and said, "However, in your heart, you don't think that the two new laws are the laws of seizing the people, which will lead to an increase in the burden on the people and make it difficult for the people to bear, right?" ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "The minister's original intention is not this, the minister only talks about things, with the current situation of Jingxi Road, the people are really unbearable." ”

Guo Chong shouted: "But what about other state capitals? I decreed that the new law will be stopped on Jingxi Road, what will the other state capitals think? What will the people of other places think? Favoring one over the other, and it is a place of chaos, doesn't it teach people to think that they need to make a big fuss in order to get the favor of the court? As soon as this mouth is opened, isn't it a great chaos in the world? ”

"This ...... Weichen was not as thoughtful as the emperor. Wechen is only from the actual situation of Jingxi Road. If we continue to force the government loan and the money for hired servants to be exempted from military service, I am afraid that the situation will deteriorate again......" Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"Presumptuous! The new law is an order issued by the imperial court, is it because of the fear that they will cause chaos that the order can be changed at the same time? You were also a person who participated in the change of the Fa, don't you understand this truth? As soon as this mouth is opened, the new law can no longer be implemented, don't you know this truth? Guo Chong shouted.

Lin Jue gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Then stop the implementation of the new law completely, so as not to cause chaos and be out of control." With the experience of the past cars in Jingxi Road, the emperor should have realized the disadvantages of the new law. If you are in a hurry, you will cause trouble. Please Emperor Mingjian! ”

"Bold! Lin Jue, you are so bold! How dare you say such a thing! Guo Chong got up angrily, his face flushed. He pointed at Lin Jue and shouted, and suddenly his body staggered.
