Lin Jue said with a smile: "My lord is too careful, and the lower officials have no other meaning." ”

Yang Jun nodded, looked at the mountains outside the city for a moment, and said softly: "Lin Jue, you are very knowledgeable and thoughtful. It's rare for me to have a rising star like you in Da Zhou. It's a pity...... It's a pity ......"

Lin Jue smiled and asked, "What is the pity of my lord?" ”

Yang Jun turned his head and looked at Lin Jue indifferently, "Don't you know that you have been involved in a huge dispute?" It's enough to ruin everything for you. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said in a deep voice, "My lord said that I intervened in the matter between the two princes, right?" ”

Yang Jun smiled and said, "You know it very well in your heart." You know, one of the good things about a smart person is that he will know why he is unlucky. Unlike some fools, they don't know how they died. At least you know. Hehehe. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "My lord, is it necessary to say it so directly?" What do you mean by that I have offended some people, and that some people are going to put me to death? ”

Yang Jun smiled: "I didn't say that, I just know that you offended someone who shouldn't be offended." And it was a statement on a major matter. It's like gambling, big or small, big or small? You can't control it, it's just a gamble of luck. But what you don't know is that whether it is big or small is actually controlled by others, you can only hope that you are betting on the right treasure. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "What do you mean by the size?" ”

Yang Jun shook his head and said, "I didn't say it, the old man meant that the size was manipulated by others, and you are not the one who manipulated the results, so you can only try your luck." Once you lose the bet, you're nothing. ”

Lin Jue smacked his lips and said, "But I didn't bet, it's just that others think I bet." ”

Yang Jun laughed and said, "Others think you have made a bet, and that's enough." ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "I can't control other people's thoughts, I just do what I have to do." I have no intention of participating in this gamble, I am just a little guy serving tea and water. I can't afford to mess with any of the people at the table, and I don't want to. But if the people at the table insist on pulling me to gamble, I can't refuse, and I can only reluctantly make it difficult. ”

Yang Jun glared at Lin Jue fiercely and said, "It seems that you really want to gamble." ”

Lin Jue said: "The adults have said that someone already hates me to the bone, so I might as well gamble." Maybe the bet won? When people are cornered, they will always make a desperate bet. ”

Yang Jun laughed and said: "That's right, a thousand dollars are thrown, a big gamble, you win a lot of money, and you lose your family, but you are also arrogant." It's just a pity, it's a pity. ”

Lin Jue stood with a deep groan, he felt that Yang Jun was here to test him. Yang Jun and Lu Zhongtian have approached because of the change of law. This dispatch of troops to quell the rebellion was a lot of life for the Privy Council

In fact, the orders were all issued in accordance with Lu Zhongtian's intentions. For example, the order of the Kyobei army to increase the number of troops was rejected, and the increase in material supplies was also rejected. At one time, Lin Jue had the feeling that Yang Jun and Lu Zhongtian had colluded with Guo Xu's plan to kill people with a knife, and the army in northern Beijing was forced into a desperate situation. Therefore, Lin Jueshi was very careful when he played dumb riddles with Yang Jun, just to tell Yang Jun that he had no intention of participating in it. But listening to Yang Jun's tone, it seemed that the other party was unrelenting, so Lin Jue said some hard words. Anyway, if you can't turn back, then you won't look back.

Yang Jun gave Lin Jue the feeling that the situation seemed to be decided. This made Lin Jue feel very puzzled.

"Adults are also people in the gambling game, do adults bet big or small in this game?" Lin Jue asked with a smile.

Yang Jun laughed again, suddenly stopped laughing, glared at Lin Jue and said: "The old man doesn't need to bet, the old man is the banker, and the old man won't lose." Do you want to trick the old man's words? You're still a little tender. The old man just feels sorry for you, the old man can protect you this time, but he may not be able to protect you next time, you can only do it yourself, things in this world are ultimately on your own, and you can't rely on others. If you're really smart enough, you should learn to judge the situation. ”

Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "Lord Yang, don't blame, your subordinates are too talkative." But aren't we talking about gambling money? Why doesn't it seem like they're talking about gambling money? It seems to have gone up to something else. It's really weird. ”

Yang Jun sneered: "This is not funny at all. Lin Jue, you are now a member of my Privy Council, act carefully and thoughtfully, don't make me unhappy. I'm not a good guy to get along with. Whoever offends me, the old man will definitely not give him good fruit to eat, I hope you remember this. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "How can the lower officials make the adults unhappy?" Adults can rest assured. ”

Yang Jun nodded and said, "Very good." The court was soon held accountable for the rebellion, and some were to blame. I am saying this to you to say hello to you in advance, I heard that you are a little nostalgic, so I warn you, don't be emotional in matters of right and wrong, otherwise you are asking for trouble. Although the counterinsurgency was successful this time, the vitality of the imperial court was greatly damaged. I finally saved some silver, and a counterinsurgency cost millions of taels, and so many people died. If this matter is not traced back to the source and the ultimate responsibility is investigated, it will be difficult to explain it to the people of the world. Some people in the DPRK and China have had enough trouble, and it is time to rest. ”

Lin Jue was a little puzzled by Yang Jun's words at first, but he was suddenly shocked, and stood in the autumn wind in a daze and was silent.

……

An hour later, Yang Jun led his guards to leave Xingren Mansion and go to the east, and Guo Mian, Guo Kun, Lin Jue and others were sent outside the Dongcheng Gate. It wasn't until the dust kicked up by the horse's hooves dissipated and the figures of Yang Jun and the others disappeared on the official road that everyone turned back into the city.

Lin Jue stayed alone, went up to the city tower alone, came to the place where he had a long conversation with Yang Jun before, and looked at it from afar. It was late autumn, and the frost was bleak

。 The color of the trees inside and outside the city is no longer lush, the grass and trees are yellow, and the sky is high and solemn, which makes people's mood fall into a kind of sadness.

Lin Jue's mood is indeed not good, but this is not because of the tragic autumn plot of the literati, but because of a long conversation with Yang Jun. In the previous conversation, Yang Jun actually revealed a lot of information. Regardless of whether it was Yang Jun's intentional temptation, at least Lin Jue sensed some hidden information from his words. The conversation about betting big and betting on small bets is actually equivalent to telling Lin Jue that he is now on the blacklist of Lu Zhongtian and Guo Xu, and they have regarded Lin Jue as the person who is the king of Jin.

Lin Jue was actually very helpless, how did he get on the boat of King Jin? So far, in fact, it is not Lin Jue's active wish, but step by step to the current situation. It's a compulsion, it's not a compulsion, everything seems to happen naturally. For Lin Jue, it was naturally based on the judgment of the counterinsurgency situation, but it objectively formed the fact of helping King Jin. Of course, since Zhu Zhirong dared to assassinate himself, Lin Jue had already psychologically rejected any good impression of Guo Xu's side. But this does not mean that Lin Jue is determined to help King Jin do something in the battle for the crown prince.

But now, I'm afraid that even if I don't want to get involved in this dispute, I have to get into it. Lin Jue was a little distressed and a little hesitant. Most of these distresses and hesitations stem from the lessons of the Lin family suffered in the previous life. Lin Jue had to admit that the tragedy of the previous life had brought him a huge shadow in the depths of his soul, so in this life he always warned himself to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. So after the second uncle Lin Bonian was dismissed, Lin Jue was actually relieved from the bottom of his heart. Lin Jue had no intention of taking on the position of the head of the Lin family, but he still did not refuse, which was actually based on the fear in his heart that he wanted to grasp the rudder of the Lin family's ship, and was worried that he would repeat the mistakes of the past if he handed it over to others. In the last life, it was the joint decision of Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian, which brought the Lin family into the abyss. In this life, Lin Jue deliberately put an end to these possibilities from many levels.

But now, Lin Jue sadly found that everything seemed to be like the will of heaven in the dark, and some things seemed destined to go that way. Pulled by an invisible force. Just like when he knew that the Liang Wangfu would be destroyed, he deliberately wanted to keep a distance from the Liang Wangfu, but not only did he not get it clear, but he finally married the little county lord and became a fate related to the Liang Wangfu. It seems that he resolutely does not get involved in the dispute between the prince and the heir, but he is inexplicably caught in it.

But some things are successful, such as Fang Huanqiu's fate, Green Wu's fate, and Lin Youde's fate. But he successfully reversed the ending of the previous life. This made Lin Jue extremely confused. Is there a destiny in the underworld, or is it that man is determined to overcome the heavens and be able to reverse the situation in the previous life? There seems to be no one definitive answer anymore.
