Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Yuan Xiandao?" He was also commanded. There must be someone else behind him. Knowing that I am down now, I let people come and fall into the well. Yuan Xiandao Unless he is old and confused, he will not make a big deal about such a thing. ”

Yang Xiu will be skeptical, but Lin Jue's words are not unreasonable. Lin Jue has always been the son-in-law of Liang Wangfu, although he is now down, his identity is still different. If Yuan Xiandao really wants to be unrelenting to Lin Jue, then he can't get along with Liang Wangfu. However, Lin Jue's beating of Shangguan was not a trivial matter after all, and Yang Xiu still couldn't let go of it in his heart.

"What if there is a real commotion? This matter can be big or small, ordinary people still have to suffer punishment when they fight, not to mention the official body, and you are guilty of the following crimes, and the beating is not light. Yang Xiu's brows twisted into a pimple and smacked her lips.

Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's nothing, it's a big deal that the official doesn't do it, or squats in the class room." This is not a capital offense. I think that although the most is just a dismissal, I am tired of staying in the capital, if I am dismissed, it is best to go back to Hangzhou. ”

Yang Xiu was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Brother Lin is disheartened, this officialdom is indeed meaningless. If Brother Lin is not an official, Yang also plans to resign and return home, plant a few acres of land, and live a life without quarrels. My heart is actually very tired, and I have the heart to serve the court, but unfortunately I am afraid that there will not be such a day in this life. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Brother Yang, don't do this because of me, Master Du of the Ordinance Department is my friend, so he resigned and left Beijing, and I have felt guilty for a long time." If you do this again, will you make me feel even more guilty? ”

Yang Xiu said: "I'm not for Brother Lin, I think it's meaningless." It's not that you don't know, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for the rest of my life, and then when I get old, I'll be like the two adults in Jiang and Hu, and I'll do nothing for the rest of my life. I used to hold out hope, but your Brother Lin's top talent, and the backstage is also hard, have all ended up like this, what else do I think? It's better to go back. ”

Lin Jue's heart moved, and he asked in a deep voice: "Brother Yang, I heard that you were also a Jinshi in the ninth high school in the first grade, why did you enter here?" What's going on here? I've always wanted to ask you, but I'm afraid of being abrupt. ”

Yang Xiu smiled bitterly: "What else? I've offended someone. ”

"Who have you offended? It seems that this person has a lot of power. ”

"Yes, I offended Yang Jun, the current privy envoy." Yang Xiu sighed.

Lin Jue was stunned: "What's going on?" ”

Yang Xiu smiled: "It's nothing, I don't know him at all." He believes in Yang, and I believe in Yang, but we are people who can't be beaten with eight poles. I haven't met him yet. You must wonder how you could offend him when we don't even know each other. Actually, I still don't understand why. It's just that someone told me that the strategy I wrote in the spring was offended to him. That's what people told me, and I think that's probably why, because there doesn't seem to be any reason for anything else. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "You mean, the article you wrote involves this Yang Shumi?" ”

Yang Xiudao: "That year's policy was about the discussion of the imperial court's policy towards the Western Xia, the previous year there had just been a rebellion in the Western Xia, and the rebellion of the Dangxiang people was nothing new. At that time, the policy adopted by the imperial court was a tough policy, and it was our Yang Shumi's method. You've probably heard of it, and it's the infamous "Extinction Order". Although no one admits that this extermination order was issued by the imperial court, and Yang Shumi has never admitted it, everyone knows that this is Yang Shumi's idea. ”

Lin Jue nodded slowly, he had heard of the extermination, although there was no detailed record in the "History of the National Dynasty", but some records about the rebellion in Western Xia could still be known. Although the "History of the National Dynasty" talks about how Yang Jun was ordered to lead an army of 150,000 to sweep through the Western Xia tribes and quell the rebellion. But the people who wrote the history books also wrote some brutal facts from a vague angle. For example, the "History of the National Dynasty" says that before the rebellion, the population of the Western Xia tribes was 2.79 million, and after Yang Jun put down the rebellion, the population of the Western Xia tribes plummeted to 2.03 million. People who are not careful in reading will naturally not understand what these two numbers mean, but Lin Jue will not let go of such details. The difference between the two figures is 760,000. The Western Xia rebel Li Xuanhao's soldiers and horses were only more than 200,000 at most, and among the 760,000 people, in addition to more than 200,000, there were 500,000 lives that ended in this counterinsurgency operation.

This is actually the result of the infamous "Extinction Order". It is said that in order to stabilize the situation in Western Xia and prevent further chaos, Yang Jun ordered all men over the age of ten and under the age of fifty in the tribes to be killed. It not only created an atmosphere of extreme terror, but also eradicated the living force of the Western Xia rebellion in terms of manpower. This method will certainly play a certain role, but such a brutal and bloody act also embarrassed the Great Zhou court, which ruled the country with Confucian benevolence, let alone show off and display it. Therefore, this matter has always been kept secret, and the so-called extermination has never been recognized by the imperial court, but it is just a boiling among the people.

"I want to be a great country in the Great Zhou Dynasty, respect Confucianism, and govern the country with benevolence and righteousness. To do such a thing is naturally despicable to others. Such extermination methods should not be used, even to quell the rebellion. Therefore, in the course of the discussion, I did criticize the extermination order a few times, and also scolded the person who issued it. It may be that this incident annoyed him, so he was secretly manipulated when he was conferred an official. Yang Xiu said softly.

Lin Jue smiled: "How did you scold?" ”

Yang Xiu said: "When I was young and vigorous, my words were indeed excessive. I said that this move is against the peace of heaven, and those who issue the extermination order should be severely punished, otherwise heaven will not tolerate it. And so on. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said: "It's really ruthless enough, if you want to punish him severely, how can he let you have a smooth career?" If you become a prime minister in the future, will he be severely punished by you? ”

Yang Xiu laughed and said, "Prime Minister? It's impossible in this life. But if I really become the prime minister, I will definitely severely punish this kind of person who slaughters living beings and harms heaven and reason. However, the court thought that this was justified, and such a person was now in a high position, sitting in the position of a privy envoy. In my opinion, that is a humiliation. ”

Lin Jue said: "Then, according to your opinion. How do you deal with something like the rebellion of the party? ”

Yang Xiu thought for a while and said, "I'm not opposed to sending soldiers to suppress the rebellion, but suppression is not the goal, it's just to quell the rebellion." If you want to truly return to the heart of Western Xia, the means needed must be benevolent government. Killing to bring them to their knees alone will not make them turn their hearts to the court. In my opinion, we should let the Western Xia tribes learn Confucianism and Taoism, build schools, and assimilate them. If they become like us, they will have a sense of identification with Da Zhou, and they will give in from their hearts. Only if the heart is convinced, the rebellion will not happen. If the imperial court had not issued any 'extermination order' after the rebellion had been put down, but had actively tried to do so, then the new group of Dangxiang people would have assimilated by now. Where will it be like now, even under the extermination order, the Western Xia tribes will still rebel, and the imperial court will have to send heavy troops to guard it. This fully shows that killing is not possible. ”

Lin Jue nodded slowly. Yang Xiu's idea is a means of cultural assimilation, which is indeed the most effective and stable method. It's just that the results are slow, how can the imperial court wait? Who doesn't love immediate means, just like this change, from the emperor to the two adults, they are all eager for quick success, hoping to change overnight, this is the mentality of quick success. The upper echelons of the imperial court are like this, which shows that the Great Zhou Dynasty has actually embarked on a wrong path. In fact, any imperial court should work hard and do things day by day. For the long term, ten years and a hundred years, that is the attitude that the upper elites should have. Rather than for a momentary measure, it would be much short-sighted. The short-sightedness of the elite of the entire Great Zhou will inevitably lead to a deviation in the direction of the country's progress, which is actually a thing that merges into one.

However, Yang Xiu's idea is also a bit naïve. For aliens, sometimes indoctrination is useless. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the saying, 'Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.'" In fact, assimilation is not carried out by Yang Xiu's method, but by adding many other means. Such as internal relocation, scattered resettlement, intermarriage, and the repression of hard-line policies. Yang Jun's method is to physically eliminate his opponent, so it looks bloody and brutal. But the purpose of Huairou's strategy is actually to eliminate the opponent, but to eliminate the opponent mentally and from the way of life. This may seem civilized, but in a way it is also a brutal massacre.

"However, you suspect that Yang Jun secretly used means to arrange you here. Don't give you any chance? Lin Jue smiled.

"It's not a suspicion, I've even been warned, I know it's him, although he didn't come forward. I've been unlucky enough in my life, I'm just putting forward my own ideas, isn't my big week encouraging me to speak freely? Who would have thought that he would be blamed for his words. Hey, my wife saw that I had offended a big man and that there was no hope of promotion, so she made a lot of noise and gave birth to an outside heart. I thought, instead of doing this, why not separate and be okay, so I wrote a document to let her go. This incident really affected me for the rest of my life, and some of my thoughts were ruined by that article. Yang Xiu sighed deeply.

Lin Jue nodded slightly, reached out and patted the back of Yang Xiu's hand and said, "Brother Yang, don't be sentimental, some things are not necessarily bad." Just like your former wife, it is obvious that she cannot share the hardships with you, and she will leave when she leaves. With a talent like Brother Yang, there will be a good couple in the future. If Brother Yang lives with this woman for the rest of his life, maybe it will be even more sad. ”

Yang Xiu smiled bitterly: "Brother Lin is always so optimistic and open-minded, this can be regarded as a good thing by you." ”

Lin Jue said: "I'm not talking about it. The wonder of fate lies in the unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in the next moment? The reversal of fate is also in an instant, and no one can predict it. How do you know you're going to spend your whole life here? I don't believe it anyway. What we have to do is to continue to hone and accumulate our own skills, and when the opportunity comes, we will seize it. As long as the opportunity comes, the opportunity is right, anything can happen. ”

Yang Xiu looked at Lin Jue with a wry smile, and said in her heart: You are like this now, and you are still so optimistic. Don't forget that you've just had a catastrophe, and it may soon be a catastrophe.

However, Lin Jue's words were quite comforting. Yang Xiu's depressed mood also seemed to be much better.

……

The development of things was somewhat unexpected, or rather unexpected than the two adults Jiang and Hu. Although Lord Jiang and Master Hu said the words of worrying about Lin Jue on their lips, their expectant eyes betrayed their hearts. They actually want something to happen. It's not that these two old things have bad hearts, it's that they've lived their ordinary lives for too long, and they always look forward to something that will happen to make life less ordinary.

However, their expectations were disappointed. I walked around the door all afternoon, and when I heard the slightest movement, I thought it was the two adults who Yuan Xiandao brought someone to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and they didn't see the person he hoped to see until it was dark. And the next morning, the two old fellows were still in a state of excitement and wandered around the door. Finally, by mid-afternoon, they realized that there seemed to be no more to the matter.

The two were disappointed and wondered, the two bachelors were passively beaten half to death, and the matter of almost drowning was over? Master Yuan didn't bring anyone to Xingshi to ask for guilt? That's ridiculous, isn't it? That's a big sin. Is it okay to commit the following crimes, or to beat them violently? It's hard to believe.

Lin Jue saw the thoughts of the two of them, and when he sat under the porch and took a nap in the afternoon, he said to the two adults very meaningfully: "Do the two adults want to watch the play?" My Lin family Jiangnan Grand Theater has a good show to watch, and the two adults can go to the play for free, which is very exciting. Custody will not disappoint you. ”

Jiang Hu and the others didn't hear what they meant, they yawned lazily, and said boredly: "Don't look at it, there's nothing to see, it's better to doze off." ”

The matter subsided silently, and even Lin Jue felt a little surprised. Because Lin Jue thought that even if there would be no big deal, Yuan Xiandao would at least come to reprimand him. Lin Jue had actually already thought about how he would deal with Yuan Xiandao when he came. But now the countermeasures that I have thought of in my stomach are not used at all. The whole thing vanished as if it had never happened. It seems that Yuan Xiandao still knows how to advance and retreat, he already has a ghost in his heart, but he doesn't dare to confront Lin Jue head-on, he doesn't have the courage to fight with King Liang. Besides, he was also instructed to do this, and he couldn't offend Liang Wangfu for this.

Lin Jue not only sighed, but the method of pulling the flag and pulling the tiger's skin is always useful. In these years, apart from a position of power, there is actually nothing that can deter people. His so-called talent and wisdom can't prevent disasters for himself, but he doesn't care about the identity of the son-in-law of the palace, but he is a shield to prevent disasters at a critical time, giving himself a shelter.

Yuan Xiandao didn't come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and he didn't even send Hanlin Scholar to the public house anymore. I'm afraid it's because it's too risky to come to the Chongzheng Hall to tell the story, and no one dares to take this risk. So the public housing was unexpectedly peaceful because of this incident. There is no need to copy books, and there is no need to move them out to dry, and the people in the public housing have returned to their previous laziness. The two adults of Jiang Hu returned to the state of leaning back on the big chair and dozing off every day, and Lin Jue and Yang Xiu also had a lot of time to talk.

Master Jiang and Master Hu didn't understand how Lin Jue and Yang Xiu had so much to say. The two of them muttered with relish under the porch, beside the grape trellis, and on the side of the fish pond in the courtyard. Master Jiang and Master Hu thought to themselves: If you say too much, you will lose, and young people don't understand this truth. One day they will understand that talking less and dozing off is best.

Of course, Lin Jue and Yang Xiu were not chatting without words, what they were talking about was the topic of the waves that were being set off in the court. Things in the court are getting more and more intense, almost white-hot. Every day, Lin Jue and Yang Xiu would go to find out the latest news. After all, it is very close to the Chongzheng Palace, and you can walk around at any time. Although the official positions of the two of them cannot be approached, Yang Xiu has been in the palace for a long time, and he is very familiar with the palace guards, so he can also listen to some of the things that are happening in the palace. The two of them also know a lot about how things are going.

Lin Jue sweated for Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, especially when Wu Chunlai's "Ten Sins" was played, Lin Jue was extremely nervous. Lin Jue knew that this was a premeditated attack, first the ministers played, causing public opinion, and then the main force led the battle, concentrating firepower to crusade against Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru in a systematic, organized and planned manner. The success or failure of this battle has a bearing not only on the fate of the law change, but also on the fate of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. If he loses, even if only one of the ten counts is convicted, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru will be finished.

On the evening of February 16, Lin Jue and Yang Xiu took advantage of the small number of people to get the opportunity to go to the front of the main hall of the Chongzheng Palace, and Lin Jue also saw the "Answer to the Ten Sins and the Impeachment of the Officials" jointly posted by Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu. From between the lines, Lin Jue could see that it was Fang Dunru's handwriting. The article is indeed wonderfully written, well-reasoned and measured, with a hint of subtlety, but not aggressive. In the current chaotic situation, the importance of the pen is extremely important, and Fang Dunru has given full play to this advantage. Lin Jue believes that this article may bring good results, but Lin Jue firmly believes that the consequences of this impact will not be erased by a verbal battle or a heroic article. The promulgation of the Employment Law had brought the imperial court into a state of tearing. This is a tear in fundamental interests, and it has formed a wound that is difficult to heal. Later, there will be even greater unpredictable results.

Sure enough, a few days later, when the imperial court issued two holy decrees restricting the power of the Ordinance Department and appointing Wu Chunlai as the deputy prime minister, Lin Jue immediately smelled something unusual. On the one hand, he expressed his support for Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, and emphasized his support for the new law. On the other hand, it has begun to appease opponents and limit the powers of the Ordinance Division. This seems to be Emperor Guo Chong's balancing technique, but it is actually the ambivalence in the emperor's heart. In other words, the emperor's unwavering support for the new law was a dangerous harbinger.

The implementation of the new law, and the power that Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru currently have, are all based on the support of the Holy Beings. If the biggest backer is shaken in his heart, the consequences are self-evident. Perhaps at this moment it is only the contradiction that is shaken, if the contradiction is greater and shaken even more in the future, it will shake the earth. These inner turmoil at this moment are the direct result of this great impeachment debate.

Lin Jue tried to share his analysis with Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, reminding them of the change in the attitude of the saints. However, on the morning of the 23rd, when Lin Jue went to the Yamen of the Regulations Department to ask for a meeting, he did not even see Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru in person. His request to see him was ruthlessly rejected by the two. Lin Jue had no choice but to leave with a long sigh.
