After thinking about it, Lin Jue thought that it might be because of the anxiety in his heart. I don't know why, now Lin Jue's heart seems to have pressed a big stone, and he is heavy and uncomfortable. When you return to Beijing, you should be in a good mood. But on the contrary, I felt that there were more barriers in my heart. What exactly it is, but it's a little unclear. Perhaps it is the combined effect of several things that have been accumulated in my heart is unknown.

Lin Jue took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions and remind himself: Don't mess up, things are solved one by one, the more complicated the affairs, the more you need to calm down. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't set too high a threshold for yourself, just do your best, and live up to your heart.

"Lin Jue, hahaha, where is Lord Lin? The old man has been waiting for you for a long time. Hahaha. A loud laugh came from outside, and then Ma Pijin hurried into the public house and rushed inside.

"Lord Lin, Lord Lin. The Privy Counsellor himself has come to see you. Hurry out and wait. Ma Pijin said in a loud voice, and didn't forget to pat the fart in a low voice: "The adult is really big-faced, as soon as Yang Shumi heard that the adult had arrived, he immediately took the initiative to come to see the adult, which shows the position of the adult in Yang Shumi's heart." Admire, admire. ”

Lin Jue didn't have time to listen to his nagging, got up and walked quickly outside, only to see a group of officials saluting in fear. The tall and burly purple-robed old man standing at the screen is not Yang Jun, who else?

Lin Jue hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Lin Jue see Yang Shumi." How dare you labor Yang Shumi to come in person, the lower officials should go to see the adults. ”

Yang Jun looked at Lin Jue's eyes and laughed, "Hey, what's the matter." You have worked hard all the way, and the old man should come to see you. Didn't the old man order someone to inform you? You may rest for a day, and it is not too late to come back to the Privy Council tomorrow morning. I didn't expect you to be so anxious that you had to come in the afternoon. ”

Lin Jue bowed down and said, "Thank you for your care, how dare the officials delay their official duties." ”

Yang Jun nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay." That's the attitude to do things. So the old man will be waiting for you in the afternoon. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Please take a seat, come here, and make tea for Yang Shumi." ”

Without Lin Jue's orders, a group of officials were already busy making tea on stools. In order to grab the qualification to make tea for Yang Shumi, several officials crowded together and almost fought silently. In the end, another fisherman took the opportunity and handed the tea to Yang Jun.

Yang Jun didn't drink tea, and after sitting down, he only looked at Lin Jue with blazing eyes and said, "Lord Lin, what is the current situation on Jingxi Road?" What happened to the post-war pacification? It should be going well. ”

Lin Jue bowed down and said, "Returning to my lordship, it's going well." Since the beginning of last month, Xiaguan has been pacifying and dealing with the aftermath in more than ten prefectures and counties on Jingxi Road. The organized confession and propaganda group of the bandits held more than 30 meetings of the people, and appeared to explain the truth and expose the fact that the Qingjiao had poisoned and bewitched the people. The effect is not bad. The people in all parts of Jingxi Road are not too deeply poisoned, and the vast majority of them have woken up. For example, in Shanxian County, the people spontaneously submitted a joint complaint and confession to the lower officials, and more than 14,000 people signed the joint complaint. This is almost half of the people in Shanxian County. It can be seen from this that the effect of preaching and appeasing is still good. Of course, it is unlikely that they will be able to completely eradicate the poison of the cult bandits in a short period of time. However, given the time and the close follow-up of the local government by means of control and propaganda, the lower officials believed that within half a year, everyone would be able to come out of the shadow of the Youth Sect. ”

"Good, good. The old man knows that you will never be wrong in doing things. Although the Qingjiao is extinguished, the poison is very harmful, and this matter is very important. If you can do that, you'll be done with the aftermath. After that, the local government should be held responsible. It's good, it's good. Live up to the trust of the imperial court. The emperor should be very happy to know this news, the emperor and the old man have talked about the matter of teaching bandits and poisoning several times, and they all feel that it is tricky. If you are not careful, you will resurge, so the emperor must love to listen to your words. You haven't gone to meet the emperor yet. Yang Jun smiled.

Lin Jue said: "Xiaguan didn't plan to see the emperor, he only came to see Yang Shumi when he returned to Beijing this time." ”

"Oh? Why is that? You are a pacification envoy of the Qin Mission, why don't you go back to Beijing to see the emperor to restore your life? Yang Jun smiled.

"Why did Lord Yang ask knowingly, the lower official was a pacification envoy. The pacification has not been completed, how to restore life? The relief food and materials promised by Lord Yang to the lower officials have not yet been fulfilled, and the lower officials are anxious, and the people in Jingdong are facing a food shortage crisis. In addition, winter has arrived, if the people die due to hunger and cold, or if there is another trouble. Wouldn't that make matters worse, terrible? The lower officials couldn't wait, and they couldn't wait any longer, so they returned to Beijing privately, mainly to see the adults to ask about the situation. Lin Jue didn't plan to go around the bend and said straightforwardly.

Yang Jun laughed.

"Look, it seems that Lord Lin is holding back a lot of resentment in his heart, and he came back to Beijing to ask the old man Xingshi about the guilt, right?"

"How dare the lower officials. But Yang Shumi promised that the lower officials would guarantee the supply of materials. In addition, the reason why Xia Guan was in a hurry was also because the situation on Jingxi Road was much worse than imagined. The rebellion of the bandits has almost turned the local people into abject poverty. The turmoil in summer and autumn has also made this year's acres almost unharvested. The bandits spoiled a large amount of food and materials, and the treasury of Yingtianfu was empty. I am afraid that the grain will only last until the end of this month. What will happen if there is no food? I can't imagine it. That's why Xia Guan was very anxious. At present, everything should be stabilized first, and there should be no more chaos. Otherwise, the appeasement of the lower officials and the dereliction of duty of the messenger will be a trivial matter, and the turmoil of the overall situation of the society will be a major matter. ”

Yang Jun looked at Lin Jue with a smile and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, don't be excited. The old man knows all these things. I also know that you are in a hurry. But do you think it's that easy to mobilize food supplies? Now that there is a shortage of food everywhere and there is a shortage of food everywhere, the old man has to find food and materials in order to fulfill his promise, right? Do you want the old man to chop up the flesh and bones of this body and send it to you? That's not enough for a few people to eat a few full meals. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Didn't Yang Shumi say at the beginning, would he allocate materials from the army to me?" ”

Yang Jun smiled and said, "The old man did say it, but it was a last resort. The materials in the army cannot be easily allocated, and if there is chaos, it will be a hundred times more terrible than the chaos of the people. So I can't do that. After the old man returned to Beijing, he has been looking for food and supplies for you, and everyone said that they couldn't do anything, and they all played haha with the old man, and the old man couldn't do anything. Especially...... As you know, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are holding the grain bags and money bags tightly, and if they want to ask for food from them, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”

"What do you mean, Lord Yan and Lord Fang actually refused to allocate relief food? How is this possible? They could not have been unaware of the importance of the matter. Lin Jue frowned.

Yang Jun smiled and said: "It's one thing to know, it's another thing to be willing or not." There are some things you may have heard about. After the rebellion of the cultists subsided, the court began to investigate the responsibility for causing the rebellion. In addition to the ambition of the Liao people and the bandits, the reason why the bandits took advantage of the loopholes was the new law implemented by Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. robbed the people's wealth and hurt the hearts of the people, so that the people lost their favor with the court. The Youth Sect took the opportunity to buy people's hearts and minds and bewitch and cause chaos. You and I have talked about these things, and you will not deny them. The emperor and the officials of the court naturally saw it clearly. When it came time to pursue responsibility, it would naturally point the finger at Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. But guess what? Not only did these two not have the slightest remorse, they refused to apologize and admit their guilt, but ran to bewitch the emperor and let the emperor come out and make an edict against himself. Put all the faults on the emperor, you say, is this the work of loyal ministers? It's outrageous. Including the old man, they were all indignant. The accusations against them from all sides can be described as sharp and merciless. These two people don't think about their own faults, but they hate us very much. The relief food you are asking for has not been allocated, and I think it is their means. Relying on the emperor's trust in them and maintaining them. Relying on the financial power in their hands, they deliberately stuck the necks of various departments in retaliation for their impeachment. It was they who were unwilling to allocate relief grain and grass, but it was not the old man who broke his promise and became fat. Do you understand? ”

Lin Jue's brows twisted into a pimple, and the more he listened to it, the more he felt that it was not a taste. Yang Jun's words seemed to mean that the failure to allocate food and materials in time was blamed on Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu. And the means are actually not clever, and they actually said that Yan Fang and the others were dissatisfied with the impeachment of the ministers against them, so they had a heart of revenge and used the power in their hands to jam other people's necks.

With Lin Jue's understanding of Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu, how could this kind of thing happen? Although Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are stubborn in their behavior, they are even unreasonable, and sometimes they are unreasonable. But these two people will never use the interests of the court to do things for public and private purposes. Public loyalty to the country may not be counted, but the heart of doing things for the court is unquestionable. Blaming this incident on Yan Fang's fake public and private interests, Lin Jue didn't believe it even if he was killed.

However, what is Yang Jun's intention in doing this? This made Lin Jue feel a little confused.

"My lord, do you mean that I will go back to Beijing for a trip this time? If I can't get relief food and supplies, how can I be a pacifier? Doesn't that make it impossible for me to do my job? Lin Jue frowned.

Yang Jun smacked his lips and said, "Why don't you go find Fang Dunru and ask him for food and supplies?" Didn't you have a master-apprentice relationship between you? Maybe you go to him and talk to him, and he won't refuse you. Of course, it's not entirely by emotion. Although you are a member of my Privy Council, you are now also the identity of the envoy of the Qin Mission, and there are many things that the old man is inconvenient to come forward, but you can come forward. If you go to ask for food and supplies as a pacification envoy, Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu may agree. It's really not possible, you can report this matter to the emperor when you see the emperor. If the emperor speaks, they will not dare to shirk. What do you think of that? ”
