Lin Jue was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Guo Chong grabbed Lin Jue's arm to stabilize his figure, but coughed violently in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the emperor takes care of the dragon's body, the minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister doesn't mention it." Lin Jue hurriedly shouted.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Guo Chong couldn't stop coughing, his body became like a shrimp, and he kept gasping for breath while holding his chest.

Lin Jue was not lightly frightened, and hurriedly looked around and shouted: "Father-in-law Qian, General Zhao, come quickly, you come quickly." ”

Zhao Yuankang and Qian Delu appeared from behind the flowers and trees, Zhao Yuankang stepped forward to support Guo Chong's body, Qian Delu was not panicked, quickly poured a cup of tea, took out a pill from his arms and handed it over. Guo Chong grabbed the stuffed mouth with one hand, grabbed the tea and drank two sips, and swallowed the pill into his stomach. Zhao Yuankang and Qian Delu helped him sit down again, and patted his chest and back for him. Soon after, Guo Chong's cough gradually stopped, and his breathing slowly stabilized.

Lin Jue stared at all this blankly, and his heart was extremely frightened. He saw that there were dazzling red blood stains in the dirt that Guo Chong coughed and spit out. In addition, seeing the degree of severe coughing when Guo Chong had a seizure, he had a rough judgment in his heart. It turned out that the emperor was already quite sick. Coughing and vomiting blood, this is not an ordinary minor illness. Unexpectedly, Guo Chong's body was so weak. There's no news out there, which is a bit weird.

"Lord Lin, how can you make the emperor angry? The emperor's body has been a little cold in the past few days, but he can't stand being angry. You really are. Qian Delu looked at Lin Jue and counted down.

Lin Jue was stunned. Qian Delu said: "Isn't Lord Lin still leaving?" Go out of the palace, don't make the emperor angry. Let's go. I'll come back next time. The emperor has to go back to rest. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, yes, Weichen will retire, and the emperor will take care of the dragon body." Weichen deserves death. ”

Guo Chong opened his mouth and shouted: "Don't tell him to go, tell him to finish his words, I haven't finished talking to him yet." Qian Delu, Zhao Yuankang, go ahead, I am much more comfortable. ”

Qian Delu said: "Your Majesty ......"

"Stand down, I'm fine, don't worry, I just cough a few times." Guo Chong waved his hand.

Qian Delu was helpless, walked up to Lin Jue and whispered: "Lord Lin, don't make the emperor angry, it's easy to be in a better mood today, so that the emperor can be comfortable for a day?" We're begging you. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I don't dare anymore." ”

Qian Delu sighed, turned around, took out a cloth towel from his waist, wiped away the blood stains that Guo Chong spit out, held it in his hand, and walked away quickly. Zhao Yuankang also retreated without a word.

Lin Jue stood in a panic, not knowing what to do. I saw Guo Chong sitting on the stone bench squinting and looking away, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he was sitting and asleep. Lin Jue didn't dare to disturb him, so he just waited in silence.

The sunlight has climbed obliquely into the air, and the light diffuses from the glazed tile roof through the white walls, illuminating the whole garden as warm as spring. The garden is full of flowers and green trees, and it is precisely because of the right temperature that this spectacle will occur. The surrounding air is filled with a faint aroma and the smell of leaves and grass, giving the illusion of spring. Occasionally, a few yellow leaves fall from beyond the top of the wall, reminding the people in the garden that this is exactly the moment

The withering winter reminded Lin Jue that the flowers here are so unreal.

"Why don't you speak? Isn't it a good word? Guo Ran said in a dumb voice.

"Minister...... Can't. The minister's withdrawal of this suggestion was entirely up to the emperor's decision. Lin Jue said busily.

"Hmph, when you're saying this kind of thing at the moment, it looks like I won't let you speak. Are you going to be like them, trying to force me to stop changing the law? Do you also think that the decision to change the law is wrong, misleading the country and the people, and is the source of chaos? Is it the evil law in their mouths? I can understand what others think, but you were a supporter of changing the law, did you change your position so quickly? Is it because Fang Dunru expelled you from the wall, and you changed your stance from support to opposition? Wouldn't that be too casual? The new law of the imperial court, how can you slander it because of personal grudges? It just doesn't make sense. Guo Chong shouted angrily again.

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "The emperor is angry, take care of the dragon's body." If the emperor is unwell, the ministers will be unable to escape the blame. ”

"I can't die yet, don't worry. Today I let you speak freely. Tell me, what's wrong with this new law? Aroused the excitement of the crowd, and everyone shimmered gold? Even you, a student of Fang Dunru who once supported and participated in the reform of the law, are attacking the new law in front of me. Today I give you the opportunity to give your reasons. Guo Chong shouted in a deep voice.

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has never said that he opposes the change of the law. Until now, the minister has also supported the reform of the law. ”

Guo Chong shouted: "Talking nonsense to your face, you still want me to stop implementing the new law." Is this to bully the king in person? ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister only said that he would stop implementing the existing new law, not that he wanted to deny the change of the law. Changing the law is changing the law, and the new law is the new law, these are two different things. The reform of the law is to introduce a series of new laws to change the shortcomings of our Great Zhou, and the new law of Changping and the employment law are only two of the measures at best. It is imperative to change the law, but the introduction of new laws may not be unstoppable. If the new law itself is unreasonable, it should be stopped in time. Is it wrong for the minister to say this? ”

Guo Chong said coldly: "You also participated in the formulation of these two new laws, you said it was unreasonable at the moment, why didn't you say it at the beginning?" Isn't this a slap in the mouth? ”

"Your Majesty, it was precisely because of the disagreement between the new laws and regulations and Lord Yan that Mr. Fang was expelled from Mr. Fang's door wall and was kicked out of the Ordinance Division. It's not that he didn't mention it at the time, but that people were soft-spoken and useless. The emperor knows this. In the final analysis, there is a difference between the two of them in the concept of changing the law. It was actually a mistake to enter the Department of Ordinances. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

Guo Chong frowned and said coldly: "It seems that you seem to have a stomach full of grievances, and I will give you a chance to confide in your grievances." I let you, the pillar of the country full of wealth, tell me your views on the change of the law, lest people say that my Great Zhou Dynasty does not attach importance to the opinions of officials, lest you say that no one will pay attention to it. Say, I listen. ”

Guo Chong's words were obviously ironic, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Lin Jue. Lin Jue was not surprised. Because, his irresponsible remarks about the new law have touched Guo Chong's weakness. Guo Chong has made an edict for the new law, and he has to make irresponsible remarks, which is too shameful for him.

Lin Jue sighed secretly,

It's also out of the way. Some words have been brewing in my heart for a long time, and no one has ever confided them. Since Guo Chong wanted to listen today, he simply said it. Regardless of whether Guo Chong will agree or not, at least he said it, and he can be regarded as fulfilling his responsibilities.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not qualified to talk about this matter, but the emperor asked, and Weichen couldn't help but say some of his opinions. In fact, it is also a cliché. Wechen was expelled from the teacher because of disagreements over the new laws and regulations. Wechen still adheres to the original view. It is imperative to change the law, and I have accumulated a lot of disadvantages and must be reformed. Personnel are redundant, institutions are bloated and complex, the army is large and disorderly, and the combat power is low. The acres of land were annexed, and the people were displaced. The imperial court used too much. Finances are struggling to make ends meet. All of this must be changed through forceful change. Therefore, when the court decided to change the law, the minister resolutely threw himself into it. Chen was encouraged by the goal of 'enriching the country and strengthening the army' put forward by Lord Yan and Mr. Fang. The minister believes that with the emperor's determined support, I will work together to change the law for this goal, and the situation will be reversed. This is also the belief that the minister has never wavered. ”

Guo Chong looked at Lin Jue quietly, and when he heard him talk about the shortcomings of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he wanted to scold him for being inferior. But he knew that what Lin Jue said was the truth. And the real situation is more than what Lin Jue said, I don't know much.

Lin Jue continued: "However...... The matter of changing the law is not achieved overnight. One of the points of contention between Chen and Mr. Fang was whether a seriously ill person should use strong medicine or a conditioning prescription. Mr. Fang, they want a strong medicine, and they want immediate results. The minister is to use the prescription of conditioning, work hard for a long time, step by step, and gradually achieve the goal. Both of us have good causes. Mr. Fang, they think that there is not much time for us to give the Great Zhou, the Liao people in the north are trapped in the Jurchen Rebellion, and once the Jurchen Rebellion is pacified, they will turn back to attack our Great Zhou, maybe three or five years, maybe only one or two years. Therefore, they believe that there is no time to wait, they must push forward strongly, and the means must be sharp, without the slightest hesitation. However, the minister believes that time is not a problem at all, and the change is not based on time, but according to specific things. It is necessary to make it easy first and then difficult, slow first and then urgent. It is necessary to first let the people of the world adapt to the overall situation of changing the law, start small, advance slowly, and gradually reach the place where the fortification is tackled. It's like fighting a war, first clearing out the enemy on the periphery, and finally entering the stage of attacking the fortified position, concentrating on the onslaught. If you act too hastily and violently, you will not be able to react quickly, which will lead to the breeding of various backlash and unstable factors. You must know that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for more than 150 years, and if something that has been formed for so many years wants to change overnight, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. Although the effect of strong drugs may be immediate, it can also worsen the condition and lead to exacerbation. ”

Guo Chong listened intently, and the expression on his face became extremely focused. Regarding the matter of changing the law, in addition to often listening to Fang Dunru's solemn and solemn views, Guo Chong has also seen a lot of views of the opposition. However, there are those who oppose for the sake of opposition, for a certain purpose. The list of objections is sometimes alarmist and difficult to justify. Guo Chong is naturally dismissive of this. Although Lin Jue's position was a little strange, both in favor of changing the law and against Yan Fang's methods, Lin Jue had something to say, and said his reasons, and it was obviously well thought out, which made Guo Chong put away his disdain and became serious.
