Chapter 265: A stubborn boy
For everyone in the audience, in fact, it is not enough to talk too much. The quota was already given, and it did not occupy the original quota of the Liangzhejiang Road at all, and it had no impact on other students. Only one person can pass through the autumn festival directly, and it doesn't matter who gets the quota for a cat or a dog, after all, it's just one person enjoying grace. Besides, this is not the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites for official entry, even if you have to pass the township examination without passing the examination, the spring examination next year is the key. It's not good, the Lin family is smart but is mistaken by being smart, Lin Jueruo is not the first, what is the name of Lin Youde, the one who got the quota, and then the provincial test failed, isn't it a chicken flying egg and a bamboo basket to draw water? That's funny.
Among the people present, in fact, most of them thought that if Lin Jue could participate in the provincial examination, the chances of passing the examination would be much greater. After all, Lin Jue is quite famous in Hangzhou and even Liangzhejiang Road, and the inside story of last year's Oiran Contest has long been shaken out, and the fact that several of Xie Yingying's poems are from Lin Jue's hands has long been known to everyone. Everyone was amazed by Lin Jue's talent. Originally, Xie Yingying's move was to deceive everyone, but Mochizuki Tower had already given up the name of Oiran and withdrew from the flower world, so everyone naturally had nothing to condemn, and the matter was not resolved and reduced to a talking point. Therefore, Lin Jue's move may not be a good idea in the eyes of everyone, and it is likely to be self-defeating.
"Then ask the second uncle to help ask after returning to Beijing. But even if it's non-transferable, I won't use it. At this point, the second uncle should also make it clear to the saint. Lin Jue is grateful for the grace of God, but he also has my own persistence. Lin Jue said.
Lin Bonian frowned and said: "Don't be busy making decisions, there are still a few months left in the autumn season, and we will talk about it then." β
Lin Jue nodded yes, and then said, "There is one more thing that I have to explain to the second uncle." β
Guo Bing smiled: "Lin Jue, are you still letting us drink?" β
Lin Jue said: "Lord Wang, I'm very sorry, this matter must also be made clear." β
Guo Bing waved his hand and said, "That's it, you say it." It seems that if you don't finish speaking, we won't be able to drink this wine. β
Lin Jue said: "Thank you, Lord Wang." He turned his head to Lin Bonian and said, "Second uncle, the Holy Decree allows me to parade the streets with hairpins, I want to know if I can not be so public?" β
Lin Bonian frowned and said, "What's the matter?" This is a great thing to make you famous and let the people know that the court respects and praises the loyal and righteous. There is light on your face, there is light on the face of my Lin family, and there is light on the face of the court. Why not? β
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate to ask the prince and the prefect and all the adults to accompany the parade. Besides, I don't feel that there is light on my face in this matter, and I don't think the prince and the prefect Yan will feel that there is light on their faces. β
Lin Bonian was stunned and said, "How can you say this? The hairpin parade, accompanied by Hangzhou officials, this is a great courtesy, how can you say such words? β
Lin Jue said: "On the surface, it is naturally infinitely beautiful, but in the heart, it puts me in a place of injustice and injustice. It's not an outsider here, so I'll make it clear. The success of this crackdown on bandits benefited from the great help of the owner of Guishan Island. They just want the court to give them a decent arrangement to recruit peace and not blame the past. This point was also agreed by the prince and the Yan Governor's Mansion in advance. However, after the success of the bandits, what happened on Guishan Island was heartbreaking. The promise of the prince and the prefect Yan was not fulfilled. As a mediator, I feel guilty in my heart. β
Liang Wang and Yan Zhengsu's faces were very embarrassed, and this matter was finally shaken out by Lin Jue.
Lin Jue...... This matter ......," Yan Zhengsu coughed and said in a deep voice.
"Lord Yan, I'm not trying to blame you. While it's true that you didn't deliver on your promises, I know there must be reasons for that you didn't expect. However, as far as I am concerned, how can I be calm in my heart for breaking my trust in others and causing such a catastrophe on Guishan Island? Or even hairpin flower parade triumphant? I can't. Therefore, I will never participate in this parade. Instead of being faithful to my promise and breaking my trust with others, I want to show off my merits? This must never be done. I hope you can understand my feelings. If this is a disobedience to the holy decree and the condemnation is to be killed, then please take me immediately, and I will not say anything. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Everyone was moved. After the success of the bandits, everyone on the table also knew the details of the bandits, and naturally they also knew that the owner of Guishan Island sent someone to help. But for what happened to the cottage on Guishan Island, everyone didn't really care. The goal has been achieved, what is there to care about the fate of those bandits on Guishan Island. But listening to Lin Jue's words at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. The wallowing in officialdom and the entanglement of interests have made them lose many of the most basic principles. For example, Xinnuo, such as benevolence and righteousness.
Lin Bonian naturally knew about it, but his first reaction when he heard this incident was not to make a fuss. The bandits on Guishan Island are just bandits, what promises do you have to tell them? I can only say that I blame these people for being unlucky, and I don't know the complexity of the court. They have become victims caught between the prince and the prime minister. Lu Zhongtian wanted to lose the face of King Liang with this matter, which many people in the court and the court knew very well. But what Lin Bonian didn't expect was that Lin Jue's reaction to this matter would be so big, which made him faintly worried. Lin Jue interceded with the bandits on Guishan Island and spoke for them, which was a bit of a mistake. These things are very easy to be criticized and attacked, and they will even implicate the Lin family.
"Lin Jue, pay attention to your words. Don't say such angry words. Don't be so naΓ―ve. Lin Bonian reminded vaguely.
"Second uncle, I'm not angry, I just want to ask, is the promise of loyalty wrong? If everyone does not keep their promises, who in the world can be trusted? Although they were bandits, they had a heart of obedience and contributed to the court, and paid a huge price. What they get, however, is treachery, a merciless surprise attack. Is this what the imperial court should do? Maybe you think I'm naΓ―ve, but I'm sticking to my idea, I'm not going to go on a parade to show off, that will make me die of shame. β
Lin Bonian frowned and before he could say more, Yan Zhengsu suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything, I agree with Lin Jue's words." I have already gone to the court to inquire why this is happening. If the court is like this, wouldn't it make those bandits who have the heart of obedience no longer consider recruiting peace? The impact of this was devastating. Moreover, for me personally, it also made me lose my trust in Lin Jue. I can empathize with Lin Jue's feelings. Lin Jue, you can refuse the hairpin parade, if the court blames it, the old man will bear it for you. β
Guo Bing also said in a deep voice: "This king also agrees, and this king is also responsible." Someone got in the way of this incident, which led to the fact that the good thing of killing two birds with one stone and quelling two bandits became imperfect. This king will also find out about this matter. The king will immediately go to the court and ask the Holy One to uphold justice. Lin Jue, if this matter is wrong, this king and Lord Yan have failed to fulfill their responsibilities. This is not a disobedience to the will, but a sincere and trustworthy act. When the Holy One learns the details, he will not only not blame you, but will also praise you. Lord Yan can bear it for you, and this king can also bear it for you. β
Lin Jue neither expressed gratitude nor excitement. As far as Lin Jue is concerned, he doesn't believe the statements of these two people now. Lin Jue is such a person, if you don't fulfill your promise once, you will need to prove it many times to save the impression in his mind. Yan Zhengsu and Guo Bing have now been branded in Lin Jue's heart that they cannot listen to their words, but can only observe their deeds.
That being said, it seems that this parade does not need to be held. Wang Ye and Lord Yan both said this, and it seems that there is something hidden in it. Lin Jue, I will postpone this matter, but I still have to advise you, don't be too rash. Things in the world are not black and white, and you are still young and will understand in the future. Lin Bonian's words are quite bitter teachings, and he has never said these words publicly, after all, he is a cautious person, and he never wants to say what he says in his heart.
β¦β¦
The banquet ended in a strange atmosphere, it was originally a feast, but the things Lin Jue said at the banquet made the banquet boring. Lin Jue basically pushed away all the rewards, except for the name of the so-called 'righteous man' and the rewards of some property, he basically turned away the two major rewards. He even said that he would rather bear the name of resistance.
Lin Bonian's mood was complicated, and after only half a day of returning to Hangzhou, he felt that this three-room concubine was unusual. I also felt his position in the hearts of King Liang and Governor Yan, as well as the inexplicable estrangement between him and the Lin family.
For Lin Bonian, the significance of this trip is that the Lin family has benefited from this battle against bandits, and he has also been appointed by Lord Qincha, which is an opportunity. With this opportunity, maybe you can no longer stay in obscurity forever, and you can do something. Perhaps this trip to Hangzhou can take advantage of Lin Jue's merits and the status of the Lin family to make progress in the relationship between himself and King Liang and Yan Zhengsu. It is best to be able to mount the big tree of Liang Wangye, and you can rely on this big tree in the future.
So, things didn't really get too bad. At least the Lin family got the plaque of the House of Loyalty, which raised the Lin family to a huge level. At least it can be seen that Lin Jue's position in the eyes of the prince and Yan Zhengsu is still quite high, and this point must be exploited. The question now is to find out why the eldest brother and a few nephews have something to do with Lin Jue, and to pinch the Lin family to welcome this rare opportunity.
Because he was a member of the Lin family, Lin Bonian gave up living in the pavilion and lived directly in the Lin family's mansion.
