Chapter 563: To the point
(two-in-one) Fang Dunru reprimanded like a cannon, and questioned him like a storm. Lin Jue lowered his head beside him and said that he didn't dare, if there was the slightest disobedience at this moment, he was afraid that Fang Dunru would really expel him from the division. When he vents, his mood will be better.
Fang Dunru scolded angrily as he knocked on the table to strengthen his tone. He hadn't been so angry in years. Lin Jue has a very important position in his heart, and Fang Dunru regards him like a son. Because of this, love is deeply responsible. Regarding Lin Jue's previous strong words and deeds, Fang Dunru did not dare to take it lightly. Because he seems to remember the shadow of the rebel many years ago, the rebel was also found to be thinking incorrectly many times by himself, and he was too tolerant at the beginning, and he raised a white-eyed wolf. So he had to put an end to Lin Jue's thoughts at the moment.
"Lin Jue, you listen to me. No matter what you said to Lin Bonian and what you explained. You have to persuade Lin Bonian to cooperate with us. This is a great righteousness that cannot be violated. The old man is not allowed to be a selfish person, otherwise you will be like other officials of the Great Zhou, the silverfish of my Great Zhou, and the culprit of the current situation of the Great Zhou. Old man, no matter what you think, if you still recognize our Dunru as a teacher, you must follow the old man's words. Do you understand? Fang Dunru ended his rebuke with a stern order that could not be refused, and then glared at Lin Jue, waiting for his answer.
Lin Jue stood there, frowning and silent. The room fell silent all at once, and the wind blew the curtain outside the window lattice, making a popping sound. The sound of cicadas on the plane tree outside the window was hoarse and noisy, and the noise made people upset, and Lin Jue was in the mood in the house at this time. It stands to reason that Lin Jue naturally can't disobey his master's orders, but following Fang Dunru's words would be tantamount to giving up the opportunity to rescue Lin Bonian, which Lin Jue couldn't accept and violated his bottom line. But if he didn't agree, Fang Dunru would be extremely angry.
"What are you waiting for? Can't you say yes and no? What the old man said was in vain, right? Can't even distinguish between the great and the righteous, and you can't choose between the law and the private interests? Lin Jue, you have disappointed the old man too much. ”
Fang Dunru was heartbroken, stretched out his hand and slapped the table, his face full of pain. Lin Jue's morality is at a loss, which is the responsibility of the teacher. No matter how high the intelligence is, if it cannot be used in the right way, if it cannot be used in the right way, and if it cannot be understood in the great righteousness, it will only become a disaster for the world in the future. How could Fang Dunru want his most important student to become such a person? So his toughness was to correct Lin Jue's wrong ideas like an empowerment, but now it seems that it can't work.
Yan Zhengsu frowned and sat there, he understood his old friend's mood at the moment, he definitely didn't want Fang Dunru and Lin Jue to break up. Lin Jue is a rare talent, and he still wants to reuse him. And he is also Fang Dunru's beloved apprentice, public and private, breaking up is not the best result. He didn't want Lin Jue to walk on his opposite side from now on, and he didn't want his old friend to suffer from the loss of his beloved. But there was nothing he could do.
"Sir." Lin Jue spoke in a dumb voice. "Students are expected to do what they say. However...... Students really can't do it. ”
"Good. Good. Good. Fang Dunru said hello three times in a row, gritted his teeth and said: "The good students I teach are really bloody, temperamental, and responsible. Fang is incompetent and ashamed of the sages. The dignity of the teacher is gone. In that case, I can't be your teacher. Today......"
Lin Jue interrupted Fang Dunru's heartless words with his hand, and said loudly: "Sir, please listen to the student's words before making a decision?" Give students a chance to explain. ”
"Hehe, what else is there to say? Needless to say. Fang Dunru sneered.
Yan Zhengsu hurriedly said: "What if you listen to him?" Brother Dunru, don't be too impatient. ”
Fang Dunru snorted coldly when he heard this, and was silent. Yan Zhengsu shouted to Lin Jue in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, you are angry with your husband, and you are also angry with me." It's time for you to understand the seriousness of this matter. Don't blame the official for not reminding you, don't say that he broke with you, even if he betrays his relatives? The changes that my Great Zhou is facing in the past few years, and your teacher and I must do our best, regardless of anything else. Therefore, there are some things that you must never take care of. I want you to think clearly. ”
Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Sir, Lord Yan." Lin Jue never thought there was anything wrong with what you were doing. Lin Jue is just an ordinary person, the pattern is not big, he can only see the joys and sorrows of the people around him, and he only cares about whether the people around him are doing well. Students can't stand by while watching my Lin family's relatives suffer a catastrophe. Lin Jue just couldn't do it. The second uncle is indeed guilty, even if he is killed, he deserves it. But I don't think I can give up if I have half a chance to live. This is my responsibility as a member of the Lin family, and it is an entrustment handed down by my Lin family's ancestors. All the children of the Lin family, I should try my best to protect the Lin family, rely on each other for blessings and misfortunes, and never abandon them. If I easily disobey the teachings of the ancestors, what am I? Isn't it the same despisable as disobeying the teacher's teachings? What is the trade-off between the two? Sir, and Lord Yan have to teach me? ”
"Strong words. The ancestral training and teacher training can be discarded compared with the righteousness of the national law. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, and as a subject of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is natural to abide by the law of the country first, and then talk about others. When the country is there, the home is there. The country has no existence, and the home is safe? Fang Dunru shouted loudly.
Lin Jue frowned and said, "However, why did Mr. resign and return to Hangzhou to teach?" Shouldn't the gentleman serve his country with all his might? How could he leave the court because of political disagreement? ”
"You...... Bastard stuff. Fang Dunru was speechless for a while, only scolded angrily.
Yan Zhengsu also reprimanded: "Rude! How can this be compared? ”
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Sir, stop being angry, students shouldn't be like this." Students just want to say that sometimes the decisions they make are also unavoidable, and have nothing to do with right or wrong. Mr. Shicai said that the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety is indeed a big problem. There are only gains and losses between trade-offs, and there is no right or wrong. But have Mr. and Lord Yan ever considered that if loyalty and filial piety can be both, then why bother? If it can not only be righteous, but also substantial. It can be for the country and the family, should such a thing be insisted on? ”
"What? The best of both worlds? Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue in astonishment and asked in unison.
"Sir, Lord Yan. Lin Jue can persuade the second uncle to bow down and confess. Not only can they admit their guilt, but they can also be used as witnesses to testify against others in the three divisions. For example, the crime of the third envoy Zhang Jun. For example, some of the unknown crimes committed by the other two deputy envoys of the Third Division. Lin Jue knows that the evidence that you can arrest my second uncle is Wu Chun's attempt to play the imperial court. Suffice it to say that the evidence you have is not sufficient. Even if it is Wu Chunlai, the incriminating evidence he provided is only the tip of the iceberg. And I can let the second uncle expose all the traitors in the Sansi Yamen that he knows in every detail. In this way, the evidence is ironclad, and no one can escape or deny it. Mr. Ye Province and Lord Yan have been tracking down day and night, and in the end, they may not even be able to take down the culprit who should be captured. What do Mr. and Lord Yan think? Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes. Indeed, although the case was thunderous and windy, the city was full of wind and rain and the opposition vibrate. However, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are actually facing tremendous pressure. The evidence is limited, and Lin Bonian is the only one who can be convicted. And the third envoy Zhang Jun, the deputy envoy of salt and iron Ren Daoyuan, and the deputy envoy of the degree branch Huang Qianyuan, their incriminating evidence is not complete. However, many clues point to these three people, and there is huge resistance in the investigation. Although Huang Qianyuan and Ren Daoyuan were also imprisoned, their attitude was extremely arrogant and domineering, and what could convict them was just some trivial things. It was even more difficult to deal with Zhang Jun, and until now, the emperor had not allowed them to take Zhang Jun, because there was no conclusive evidence to prove it. And the privy envoy Yang Jun is still speaking for Zhang Jun. Things are actually not going well.
Although Fang Dunru had absolute confidence and perseverance to find out, the longer the time passed, the more unfavorable it was to Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. If strong evidence cannot be found for a long time, then Huang Qianyuan and Ren Daoyuan can only be sentenced lightly, and Zhang Jun is afraid that he will only be ineffective. Although Lin Bonian can be killed, the overall effect will be greatly reduced, and the effect of Liwei will not be achieved.
But if according to what Lin Jue said, Lin Bonian is willing to open his mouth to testify against others, then all this will be solved. Lin Jue's words at the tip of the iceberg made Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru have greater expectations. may be able to settle this case with a final blow and a thunderstorm. If all the officials of the three divisions and yamen are served in one pot, the deterrent effect will be extraordinary. At the same time, the fiscal power of the new institutions that was being conceived in the solemn manner laid a solid foundation for change.
"What are the conditions? Naturally, you don't want to do this lightly, otherwise why would you have said those things before? Yan Zhengsu suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
Before Lin Jue could speak, Fang Dunru shouted in a deep voice: "If you want to make a deal with this in exchange for Lin Bonian's innocence, I'm afraid it is impossible." The law of the land cannot be used to make transactions. ”
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Sir, this is not a transaction, this is a meritorious service." I didn't think that this would exonerate my second uncle, I just hoped that I would be exempted from the death penalty and leave a life. ”
"Lin Jue, this is the deal, you use the crime that Lin Bonian should have confessed to to make a deal with us, do you think this is appropriate? To put it mildly, you are coercing us. You're also a court official, don't you think it's too inappropriate for you to do this? Are you worthy of the court? Yan Zhengsu shook his head and sighed.
Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "If Lord Yan feels that it is necessary, I can resign and not do it." I'm putting forward this condition as a common person, and it's not a loss of status. ”
"Bastard, I've gone mad and can't be helped. It's really hopeless. Fang Dunru shook his head and sighed.
Yan Zhengsu frowned and said, "Are you really willing to sacrifice so much?" Would you even rather sacrifice your future? ”
Lin Jue said: "Of course I don't want to, but if Mr. and Lord Yan feel that it is necessary, I can only do this, because I want to save people." ”
"You're too stubborn." Yan Zhengsu sighed.
"Isn't that the case between Mr. and Lord Yan?" Lin Juedao.
Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness. Indeed, they are not the same.
"Lin Jue, this matter actually needs to be decided by the Holy Lord, even if we agree to you at this moment, the Saint's request may not be approved afterwards. Because this confession and identification is what Lin Bonian must do, he can't use this to ask the court to do something, otherwise where is the majesty of the court? "Solemnly solemn.
Lin Jue nodded and said, "I know, I only hope that Mr. and Lord Yan can ask the Holy Lord to consider the act of making meritorious contributions." As for whether it will succeed or not, it is providential. In this way, Lin Jue is still willing to put forward a condition. That is, my Lin family is willing to give two million taels of silver to the imperial court as an additional condition. Didn't I hear that the imperial court was short of silver? The Liao people are unreasonable and pampered. The imperial court is short of silver to prepare for war, and these two million taels of silver can be regarded as a patriotic and righteous move by my Lin family. ”
"Two million taels?" Yan Zhengsu said in astonishment. If according to Lin Bonian's crime, the silver obtained by Caoyun in the past ten years is confiscated, it will only be a million taels of silver. Lin Jue actually doubled the number at once.
Fang Dunru frowned and said, "Your Lin family has so much silver?" ”
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "No." Where did my Lin family get so much silver, I need to sell the real estate and make up everything. After collecting enough two million taels of silver, my Lin family has nothing. ”
"This ...... But why would you want to do that? In that case, wouldn't your Lin family have to be finished? Fang Dunru frowned.
Lin Jue looked at Fang Dunru and said, "Sir, I want to save people." Any price can be paid for this. I don't say anything like money is something outside of the body, who doesn't like silver? Some people will kill people for ten taels of silver, let alone take out two million taels of silver and bankrupt their wealth to save a person. The student has already said that practicing the ancestral teachings will share blessings and misfortunes. I can't watch my family, friends, and family lose their heads. I had to do it to the best of my ability. Not only my second uncle, but also my husband, my wife, Huanqiu, or anyone around me who I care about needs me to do this, I will do it. That's all. Although my Lin family will go bankrupt, our Lin family has practiced the ancestral teachings and preserved our family. As far as the imperial court is concerned, our Lin family has also made contributions, and it has also made meritorious contributions, which is also beneficial to the major affairs of Mr. and Lord Yan, is this a two-pronged strategy? ”
Fang Dunru and Yan Zheng looked at Lin Jue in a daze, they had nothing to say. Lin Jue's move is unwise and does not conform to the self-interested atmosphere of everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty today. But the people around Lin Jue should feel happy. Because there is someone around them who will do whatever it takes to protect them, and they can even resign and go bankrupt.
Fang Dunru also fully believed that Lin Jue would do this for himself at this moment, and for the sake of Huanqiu and her mother, Lin Jue would also do the same. At this moment, Fang Dunru suddenly felt a sense of shame in his heart. Because he has never had such extreme protection for the people around him as Lin Jue. What he thought in his mind was that if his family broke the law, he would not hesitate to follow the law of the country and kill his relatives. This is certainly to preserve one's own virtue, but is it a manifestation of selfishness and irresponsibility? Is this the right choice?
Yan Zhengsu stood up and walked to the corner, Fang Dunru also got up and walked over, and the two talked softly with their heads down.
"Brother Dunru, I think this matter is feasible. After obtaining evidence, the Lin family was willing to pay two million taels of silver to atone for their crimes, which was enough to offset Lin Bonian's capital crime. "Solemnly solemn.
"Yes, yes, but does it set a quick precedent? The initiator has nothing to do with it? If we are criticized for ignoring the law of the land for the sake of silver, you and I will suffer words. Fang Dunru said.
Yan Zhengsu smiled and said: "Brother Dunru, your mission and I are to change the law and strengthen the country, so you and I can't care about the gain or loss of reputation." You and I both know that the key to changing the law lies in increasing wealth and strengthening the army. To put it mildly, I'd rather every official who has committed a crime be so bold as to go bankrupt and buy his life. That would solve the urgent needs of the imperial court. I'm afraid that these people don't even want their lives for money. Brother Dunru, you cherish your reputation, and I am not afraid of being solemn. I will carry this matter down, and I will play this matter with the emperor, so that you don't have to bear this reputation. ”
Fang Dunru said with a straight face: "What are these words? If you want to carry it together, will the old man still hold back? Hey, I didn't expect us to make this deal with Lin Jue, how can I be a teacher in person after that? Shameful. ”
Yan Zhengsu smiled and said, "Brother Dunru, don't dwell on these things. Lin Jue is a person with his own position, don't try to change him. Forcibly teaching is counterproductive. Don't always think of him as a teenager, he's already an adult. Just like your own children grow up, you should let go and let go, the stricter the control, but it may not be as you want. ”
Fang Dunru frowned and said, "What you said is true, but this son has already gone a little crazy, and I will not allow him to slip like this." I'm going to talk to him when I get a chance. ”
Yan Zhengsu smiled: "There are many opportunities. Didn't we agree to transfer him to the new yamen? At that time, we can meet every day, and you can train again. ”
Fang Dunru nodded. The two turned back and sat down again. Lin Jue had already poured a full bottle of wine for Fang Dunru and Yan Zheng, and he himself sat there with a glass of wine and waited.
"Sir, Lord Yan, the wine has been poured, and Lin Jue will do it first. If Mr. Yan and Lord Yan agree to my request, please drink this cup. If you don't agree, you can pour the wine. Lin Jue didn't want Mr. and Master Yan to find it difficult to speak, and they could know the result by drinking or not drinking. But before that, Lin Jue must say something. If our Lin family is willing to go bankrupt to save people, we never want to end up empty. Lord Yan should not use the emperor's will to prevaricate. As for how to convince the emperor, that is Lord Yan's business. Whether or not this can be done is for Lord Yan to decide. I don't want that incident on Guishan Island to happen again, and I don't want Lord Yan to break my promise again. ”
After Lin Jue finished speaking, he drank his wine in one gulp, lit up the bottom of the glass, put the wine glass down, and sat there quietly.
Yan Zhengsu looked at Lin Jue with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, be quick and fast, I like to speak so straightforwardly." I've done this, if I can't let your second uncle live, I'll ask for my resignation. Yan Zhengsu also raised his neck and drank dry.
Lin Jue was at peace in his heart, if Yan Zhengsu used resignation as coercion, then what else could not be done? The emperor relied on Yan Zhengsu to save him from the crisis. Lin Jue's face unconsciously showed a smug expression, as if to say, I knew you would agree. In fact, Lin Jue was indeed very proud in his heart, today's banquet got a result he wanted, and the goal of rescuing Lin Bonian should be achieved. No matter how stubborn and unkind Ren Yanzhengsu and Fang Dunru are, they can't match these two generous conditions in the end.
In fact, the weaknesses of people like Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are too obvious, they are too obsessed with their own retribution, as long as they start at this point, there is a great possibility of poking at their weaknesses and making them agree to things that are almost impossible to agree.
Fang Dunru drank the wine silently, he looked at Lin Jue's smile, and felt very awkward.
finally couldn't help but say to Lin Jue: "Lin Jue, I want to ask, if we never agree to your conditions today, what will happen to you?" If you want to save Lin Bonian, but you can't save it, what will you do? ”
Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Why should Mr. ask such a question, haven't Mr. and Lord Yan already agreed?" ”
Fang Dunru shook his head and said, "The old man is just curious, the old man can't understand you more and more now." You seem to be confident, so you are not afraid that there will be no results today? Be prepared for other things. ”
Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "Sir, it's better not to ask, the student does have a backup rescue method, but Mr. will never want to know this way." ”
Fang Dunru frowned and said, "What if you reveal a little bit?" ”
Lin Jue pondered for a moment and said quietly: "Okay, I'll just say one thing: Mr. and Lord Yan are not the only ones who can save my second uncle. There are still people in the DPRK who can save people, and I will go to them to negotiate a deal as a last resort. ”
Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru's expressions changed drastically, of course they understood the meaning of Lin Jue's words. Who else in the DPRK can save Lin Bonian, and the only one who can save Lin Bonian is those two people. And who will Lin Jue go to make a deal with? The answer is imminent.
"Humph!" Fang Dunru threw the cup on the ground and slammed the door without looking back. He was so devastated today. Lin Jue's words and deeds today have greatly exceeded his bottom line, and he is worried that he will stay here any longer, afraid that he will really expel Lin Jue from the door. He needs to be calm.
Lin Jue sighed and looked at the back of Fang Dunru who disappeared at the door, and muttered, "You won't want to listen to what I said, but your old man has to say it, what can I do?" ”
Yan Zhengsu said coldly: "Lin Jue, you may be resourceful, but if you don't follow the right path and go along with the dirt, you will be willing to fall." I'm also gone, and I'll give you an answer in three days. If things go well, in three days' time, I will see Lin Bonian's confession. ”
Yan Zhengsu left the table and walked to the door, Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Lord Yan can rest assured." Lord Yan, please remind the teacher, now that my second uncle's life is at stake, some people will be afraid that he will open his mouth and do extreme things. So please send extra people, watch it alone, and check the food. If something happens to my second uncle, the situation will be unbearable. ”
Yan Zhengsu turned around and sneered: "You are very worried, I want you to remind you of these things." Do you think you're the only one in the world who is the smartest? ”
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and Yan Zhengsu turned his head and strode away.
