Chapter 514: Heart-punishing
Wu Chunlai sat in the carriage, the corners of his mouth couldn't hide the smile, and he was indescribably happy in his heart.
In the afternoon, he had been waiting for Lin Jue to beg him and apologize to himself. But until it was dark, he didn't wait for Lin Jue to arrive. The anger in his heart was like a fire, which grew stronger and stronger. From beginning to end, Lin Jue was playing tricks on himself, in Hangzhou and the capital, Lin Jue had actually made up his mind to reject himself, but he just didn't say it. This morning, I was scolded by him and kicked out of the house like a dog. Even at that time, he actually hoped that Lin Jue would change his mind and apologize to himself after he figured it out, and accept his own conditions. But it turned out that Lin Jue did not apologize at all.
After so many years in the capital, with his back to the big tree of Lu Zhongtian, from the first day he entered the political hall, even if he was just a small person with a low official position, Wu Chunlai had become accustomed to the humble appearance of others in his own way. Although he knew that it was not humility to himself, it was humility to Lu Xiang behind him, but Wu Chunlai didn't care. In any case, that is their own resources, their own capabilities. Some people may not be able to get Lu Xiang's appreciation even if they sharpen their heads, but they have done it, which is where they are better than others.
For so many years, almost no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of him. Even if they are a few deputy ministers of the political hall, they are also polite and negotiable to their subordinates. Because they all know that although they are only the head of the military ceremonial room and a fourth-grade official, they are actually the one who has the most right to speak in the political hall except for Lu Xiang. His own words can represent what Lu Xiang said to some extent. If Lu Xiang has any difficult things, he will only come to discuss with himself at the first time, not his deputies, this is strength.
Lu Xiang has already said that this year, after Vice Minister Qian said goodbye, he recommended himself as a governor of political affairs, and he officially stepped into the phase. Of course, Wu Chunlai knew that his qualifications were not enough to take on this role, but Lu Xiang needed to come up by himself, because Yan Zhengsu was here, and Lu Xiang refused to clash with him head-on, so he needed someone who could contain Yan Zhengsu, and he could sit on the mountain and watch the fire and get out of the matter. This has always been Lu Xiang's style. Therefore, he needs to be on an equal footing with Yan Zhengsu so that he can confront Yan Zhengsu head-on. Otherwise, his position is lower than that of Yan Zhengsu, and if he confronts Yan Zhengsu, a crime will be enough to make him have no confidence. To a certain extent, Yan Zhengsu's arrival actually gave him a reason to be on top.
is such a proud son of heaven who is valued by Lu Xiang, respected by all the officials in the court, and is about to sit in the position of deputy prime minister, but today he was tricked and insulted by a little Lin Jue. How can you swallow this breath? If you endure this matter, what face will you have in the future? If it was before, he might still be able to endure his anger for the purpose of persuading Lin Jue, after all, Lin Jue's identity is special, and it will be of decisive benefit to him if he can become the eyes and ears of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. But now, it is obvious that it is impossible for Lin Jue to agree to this matter at all, so there is nothing to scruple about him.
"If you don't listen to me, I'm going to destroy you. You think that you are proud of the spring breeze, about to enter the house, and about to soar. But you don't know that the fate of a little person like you is not really in your own hands at all. Be obedient to me, be my dog, and I will give you alms so that you can live a good life. Disobey me, even oppose me, and I will make you miserable. ”
Soon, Wu Chunlai came up with a means of revenge. Wu Chunlai never used the kind of means that could be seen on the surface. As a last resort, he would never take part in such drastic means as impeachment or even assassination. His methods are much more tactful and shadowy, but they are much more vicious and ruthless. This is also one of the reasons why Lu Zhongtian appreciates him. For the enemy, Wu Chunlai's ideas are all like turning bones into palms, and he can't see anything from the outside, but the person who has been tricked knows it.
At this moment, Wu Chunlai came up with this way to take revenge on Lin Jue. That is to intimidate Lin Bonian, so that Lin Bonian will come forward to suppress Lin Jue to agree to a marriage that seems to be beneficial to both the Lin family and Lin Jue.
On the surface, recruiting a son-in-law for Vice Minister Qian, Matchmaking Lin felt that marriage was a good thing for both Lin Jue and the Lin family. It seems to be for Lin Jue's sake, for Lin Bonian's sake. But in reality, the degree of damage of this gentle strategy is unimaginable.
Wu Chunlai had already seen that Lin Jue's position in the Lin family did not seem to be high, but in fact, Lin Bonian, as the head of the family, could not restrain Lin Jue. This can be easily seen from the investigation during the period in Hangzhou and the situation on the surface. Not to mention the secret investigation in Hangzhou, just looking at Lin Jue's actions after coming to the capital, he didn't even live in Lin Bonian's mansion, but lived with a group of actors who came to Beijing from Hangzhou. From this, it can be learned that either Lin Jue is not welcomed in the Lin family, or Lin Bonian cannot restrain Lin Jue at all.
Lin Jue had a close relationship with the county lord of Liang Wangfu, and he beat Lu Yanei for the little county lord at the temple fair that day. And Lin Jue lived in the mansion of the little county lord for two days after coming to the capital. This kind of thing made Wu Chunlai come to a guess, that is, Lin Jue wanted to climb the high branches of the palace. In fact, Wu Chunlai can understand this, he once thought that Lin Jue was also a practical person like himself. It's just that this person's heart is too big, and he actually wants to climb the high branches of the emperor's relatives, so his heart is too big. Moreover, the status of the Liang Wangfu seems to be lofty, but it is actually precarious. At that time, he and Lin Jue had not yet collapsed, so Wu Chunlai once warned Lin Jue and asked him not to be delusional. At the moment, this is one of the essential elements for the implementation of the plan.
Under the above two conditions, Wu Chunlai believes that once Lin Bonian mentions to Lin Jue the marriage with Vice Minister Qian's daughter, Lin Jue has a high probability that he will refuse. And in order to save himself, Lin Bonian must not allow Lin Jue to refuse this matter. And then there's the show. If Lin Jue refuses, Lin Bonian will forcefully suppress him and force him. In order to save himself, Lin Bonian would go out and force Lin Jue to agree as the head of the family. will even use the expulsion of Lin Jue from the Lin family as a threat. And once this matter becomes a big problem, Lin Jue will be an unfilial person, a person who does not abide by the etiquette law, and a person who is not tolerated by the world. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, this kind of person was reviled by the world. Not only will he lose his champion, but he will also be deprived of his fame. Overnight, he will be the man who has nothing.
It is conceivable that when things got to that point, Lin Jue would not only be unable to survive in the capital, but also anywhere in the Great Zhou. The betrayal of relatives is miserable, and they may only be able to live in the mountains and countryside for the rest of their lives. Thinking about that situation, Wu Chunlai's heart blossomed.
However, according to Wu Chunlai's speculation, Lin Jue is a smart person, and he will know the consequences, so he may not let things develop to the point of being out of control, and may compromise and agree to this marriage. But if he thinks that everything will be fine if he agrees to this marriage, and it is even possible to climb the high branch of Vice Minister Qian Qianyi, then he is very wrong.
First of all, if Lin Jue married Qian Qianyi's daughter, then he would be the one sandwiched between Fang Dunru Yan Zhengsu and Lu Xiang. On one side is the elder of the master, and on the other side is the father-in-law of Taishan, no matter which side he falls, he will have to suffer the consequences of betraying the other party. Regardless of which side he betrayed, he did not have a good reputation. In the days to come, he could not be trusted by both sides, but also had to accept the spurning of both sides, and he was really a rat in a bellows, angry at both ends, and not allowed to rise at both ends. And no matter which side is unlucky, he will inevitably be implicated.
Here's the beauty of it. After Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru entered Beijing, a storm was inevitable. At this time, all the ministers of the DPRK and China were choosing sides, and the most embarrassing thing was those middlemen. Whichever side wins, in the end, these middle wall grasses are the first to be uprooted. Because even if it is an opponent, he has a position. People who have no position are the most despised and despised in the DPRK. Because that would be considered a form of speculation, a sign of spinelessness.
But Lin Jue is that even if he wants to stand in line, neither side will accept him. He can only be forced to be the kind of centrist that is despised. This is the best place to play. His best ending was that he was finally demoted from the capital and became a petty official in a remote state and county for the rest of his life. With a little tricking, he will change to a barren land every three years to become a petty official. He will let him waste most of his life on the way to work. If his ass is not hot, let him go to the next distant foreign land, let him be wandered forever, and never have the day when he will live and work in peace.
This should be the best revenge for a person. It not only wasted his life, ruined his life, but also made him run around and suffer from wind and frost.
In addition to the above, there is also a small surprise prepared for Lin Jue. That's about Qian Qianyi's daughter. Miss Qian's daughter is indeed seventeen years old, just in her prime. Merely...... When she was a child, she was accidentally burned by fire, and her entire face was burned. Nowadays, his nostrils are turned out, and his lips are swollen like two strands of flesh. intestines, blind in one eye, half of the head is bald. The pimples on his face are full of scars.
Wu Chunlai saw this eldest lady of the Qian family once in the Qian Mansion, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted. If Lin Jue agreed to the marriage and married this woman with the appearance of a Yaksha, he was afraid that he would be scared half to death on the night of the candles in the cave room. Even if Lin Jue's appetite can bear it, he will have to face this monster for the rest of his life, which is probably the biggest punishment for a man. Especially a handsome, talented and tall man like Lin Jue, with a monster sleeping next to his pillow, what kind of situation is that.
Wu Chunlai's viciousness is here, killing people without seeing blood, and killing people without a knife. The ill-intentioned nature of this plan is unimaginable. Killing people and destroying his spirit made Wu Chunlai feel more pleasure than destroying his body. Therefore, he quickly mentioned this matter to Qian Qianyi, and Qian Qianyi naturally couldn't ask for it. Wu Chunlai immediately rushed to Lin Bonian's mansion overnight and carried out the previous plan.
