Chapter 993: Concentric
Shen Tan, who was already a little puzzled by Lin Jue's thoughts, couldn't help it, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, it seems that there is no consideration for doing this. This matter was done by King Huai, wouldn't you even involve Lu Zhongtian in kidnapping Lu Tianci. Isn't Lu Zhongtian resting? This is a self-defeating move, so please think about it. ”
Ma Bin was also stunned and said, "Yes, what are you doing kidnapping Lu Tianci?" Didn't you offend Lu Zhongtian in vain? That is more difficult than having a bad relationship with Guo Xu, the king of Huai. ”
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Do you think this matter has nothing to do with Lu Zhongtian? That's a big mistake. Nine times out of ten, Lu Zhongtian was aware of this matter. I even suspect that Lu Zhongtian instructed Guo Xu to do this. Based on my understanding and contact with Guo Xu, I don't think he would have done such a despicable thing. Such a despicable and vicious thing can only be done by those old treacherous and cunning people. In order to seize the position of the crown prince, Lu Zhongtian was the most powerful support behind Guo Xu, and only he could come up with and encourage Guo Xu to do so. There is a high probability that Lu Zhongtian is the mastermind behind this matter. ”
Ma Bin and Shen Tan frowned and were silent.
Lin Jue continued: "I know that kidnapping Lu Tianci will anger Lu Zhongtian, and I don't want to tear my face with him so early. However, I had no choice. Shicai also said that the people around Guo Xu can't start, and if I want to exchange hostages, I must have the right hostages. This person must be the person Guo Xu has to save, so he will have to exchange. Lu Tianci just meets this criterion. Maybe Guo Xu won't save his uncle, but don't forget, Lu Zhongtian only has such a son, and Lu Zhongtian will definitely care about his son's life. Furthermore, operationally, this is also possible. They may have thought that we would break into the palace and forcibly rescue Midori Dance and Little Tiger, so they will be more vigilant to prevent us from succeeding. But what they never imagined was that I would attack Lu Tianci and a seemingly unrelated person. That Lu Tianci swaggered in the market every day, and it was easier to act. That's one of the reasons I locked him in. ”
Shen Tan and Ma Bin had to admit that Lin Jue's mind was meticulous and his thinking was not leaky. Guo Xu is currently vigorously guarding against the people in his palace even if he wants to take precautions, he would never have thought that Lin Jue would do something to Lu Tianci. And once Lu Tianci is arrested, Lu Zhongtian will definitely rescue Lu Tianci desperately. even forced Guo Xu to release him. This hand-guided strategy to fight the north and attack the west, if you can succeed, it will definitely have an immediate effect.
"But...... Brother Lin, in this way, you will officially become an enemy of Lu Zhongtian, and it will be difficult for you to walk in the future. Now that your career has just improved, you have seriously offended him at this moment, and you may not know when disaster will befall you in the future. After all, Lu Zhongtian only needs to slander you a few words in front of the emperor, and you won't be able to bear it. I admit that this plan may succeed, but the cost is too great. Can we think of another way? Shen Tan's words were still Lao Cheng's serious words, and he thought more thoughtfully. After all, in this way, Lin Jue is afraid that he may not even be able to hold the official in the future, let alone develop.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's not a day or two that Lu Zhongtian wants to deal with me, it's just that in his eyes, I'm just an ant, and he doesn't bother to deal with me personally." But I analyzed it just now, and this matter must have been instigated by him behind the scenes, so it's not that I want to turn my face against him, but that he wants to deal with me and seriously offend me, so I just fight back. I'm not afraid to stand against him in the future, because we've actually torn our faces. I am regarded as the person of the great prince, even if there is no immediate matter, do you think he will let me go? I've already understood something here, and sometimes, it's not that you don't have a choice, but you don't dare to choose. Anyone wants to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and avoid conflicts with these powerful people in the DPRK and China, even if they bully you on your head and and pee on you, many people choose to tolerate it. But I'm Lin Jue, I'm not them, I have my own bottom line. ”
Shen Tan and Ma Bin listened to Lin Jue's words silently and carefully, thoughtfully. If you talk about the gap between yourself and Lin Jue, intelligence is naturally one thing, but the most important thing is the courage to dare to act. This is vividly demonstrated in Lin Jue, a seemingly weak scholar. Maybe you have a full stomach for strategy, but you don't dare to take the first step at all, then all the excellent qualities are equal to zero. Just like what Lin Jue did at the beginning, it seems to be dangerous and incredible, but this is precisely the reason for his courage to act boldly. It cannot be denied that he also made mistakes, and he once almost played himself to death with his life hanging by a thread, but it is his daring behavior that has won the respect and admiration of many people, and he has had so many brilliant experiences.
“…… Two brothers, I might as well tell you something. I offered medicine to the emperor, and the emperor's condition was improving. I can say that no one can bring me down in front of the emperor until the emperor recovers from his illness. Because, I have the prescription to cure the emperor's sick body. Once the emperor's illness recovers, he Lu Zhongtian can't help me at all. As long as I don't make too many mistakes and don't get caught by him, he won't want to do anything about me. Even if he hates me to the core, he doesn't want to shake me in the slightest. Besides, even if I knew that he would do everything he could to deal with me in the future, or even that I would die because of it, so what? If I can't even save the people around me, if I can't shelter them, what face will I have to stand between heaven and earth? So, I had to do it. ”
Lin Jue's words made huge waves in the hearts of Shen Tan and Ma Bin, they never expected that Lin Jue had established such a special connection with the emperor. This is exactly what Lin Jue is capable of, often making moves that people dare not imagine at all, and he is good at taking advantage of all possibilities. It's not that they haven't heard the rumors of the emperor's illness, but at this moment, it can be regarded as a real confirmation of the matter. Lin Jue is not a core member of the imperial court, and he can actually participate in this matter, which is unbelievable and has to be praised. But what shocked them the most was Lin Jue's words later. Yes, if a person can't even protect the people around him, he will waver, or let them die to save himself. So, what face is there to stand between heaven and earth.
"Brother, I didn't say it, since you decided to do it, I will definitely help you. You say, what do you want me to do, I will never give up. Ma Bin shouted in a deep voice.
Shen Tan also said: "Yes, Brother Ma and I helped you go and arrest that Lu Tianci." ”
Lin Jue shook his head and smiled: "The two brothers are righteous and thin, Lin Jue is very grateful. But I did not invite you to come today to lead you into the water. It's too dangerous, and I don't want you to be implicated. But I do need your help. ”
"Brother, what are you talking about? Do you treat us as outsiders? The three of us are brothers, and we say that we should share the blessings and share the difficulties together, and I don't like to hear what you say. Ma Bin said dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, if it weren't for Brother Lin to recapture the birthday gift on Guishan Island, Brother Ma and I are afraid that we would have died a long time ago. We owe you this life for a long time, why should we talk about it? You're too much of an outrage to say that. Shen Tan also frowned.
Lin Jue hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Two brothers, don't be careful, I mean, I need your help in this matter, but all I need is your connections and the ability to find out information." I can't grasp Lu Tianci's whereabouts, and if I want to arrest him without alarming anyone, I must find out his whereabouts, set a trap plan, and succeed without knowing it. Therefore, I asked the two brothers to find out his whereabouts for me, what he likes to eat, where he likes to go, his whereabouts, and his entourage. I need to know all of this, and the more detailed the better. I only have three days, and I can't figure it out slowly, so I need your help. ”
Ma Bin and Shen Tan suddenly realized that Lin Jue needed help in this regard, not that he was out of sight.
"This is easy to do, I still have the way of my brother who used to be in the Imperial City Division, I will say hello, and I can figure out the things in the capital." Ma Bin said.
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "You must not fake others, your former subordinates and brothers can't use it, you can only check it yourself, use your means, or through someone you completely trust." Don't show the slightest clue. Second Brother Shen too, I know that you are also capable in this regard. Last time, the two brothers almost found out about Green Dance's life experience, so this time I hope the two brothers can help me complete this matter. Once I have figured out these things, I will be able to proceed with the next step of the entrapment plan, and if I need the help of my two brothers, I will not be polite. ”
Ma Bin and Shen Tan fully understood Lin Jue's intentions, and it was out of trust that Lin Jue would ask them to entrust this matter. It is believing in their abilities that will make them help. Although this matter was dangerous, a feeling of excitement surged in the hearts of the two. Life is too peaceful, it's really not interesting, and when I suddenly encounter such a thing, my adrenaline hormones soar at the same time, and my heart is also eager to try, and I feel extremely excited.
……
In two days, Lin Jue calmly arranged the delivery of relief grain, and asked Yang Xiu to follow the escort convoy to Jingdong West Road for the early relief arrangements. Counterpart assistance is also on the agenda.
Guo Chong issued a holy decree, and launched a two-to-one and three-to-one counterpart assistance action, including dozens of wealthy prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River and the two Huai lands, plus the capital. It adopts Lin Jue's proposal of 'the world is one family, and there are difficulties together.' The slogans of "one side is in trouble, all sides support" and "let Da Zhou be full of love" were uniformly promoted. Led by the local governments, counterpart assistance agencies have been set up to operate in a unified manner.
Lin Jue has repeatedly stressed that it is necessary to give priority to volunteerism, and this matter must not be turned into a depressing act that disturbs the people and increases the burden on the people. Or it is the move of the local government to take the opportunity to enrich themselves. These ideas are also embodied in the Divine Decree.
This matter is just a trivial matter, and there are praises and criticisms in the court, but there is not much turmoil.
On October 29, the cold north wind caused the temperature in the entire capital to plummet again. The north wind blew all morning, but in the afternoon it stopped abruptly. Anyone with experience knows that this is a sign of snowfall. I'm afraid the first snow in the capital this year is about to fall. Although it was long overdue, it seemed like something was going to happen, and when it came, people were relieved, which showed that there was no abnormality in the sky, and perhaps there was no abnormality in the world.
