(Thanks: The reward of the two brothers of the magical golden beetle and moshaocong.) 2-in-1 in this chapter)

It seems that Guo Bing's support seems to be too weak. But Lin Jue knew in his heart that in addition to Guo Bing, there were actually many people in the court who were on the side of King Jin. In other words, they do not value Guo Mian's talent, but the rules of their ancestors. It is the opinion of many ministers to establish a successor and not to abandon the order of morality, and they will insist on their own opinions for this reason. What's more, Guo Mian is currently in the spring breeze when he is proud, he has made great contributions to counterinsurgency, his prestige has increased greatly, and some of the bad images in the eyes of others have also changed a little.

This is actually the reason why Lin Jue's scalp was numb when he saw Guo Mian appear at this family banquet. Obviously, Guo Bing and Guo Kun father and son, and even Guo Mian already regard themselves as one of them. This is also certain, in fact, in the entire imperial court, in addition to his official status, he must have been labeled as belonging to the camp of King Jin. Lin Jue was actually very helpless, he had always refused to get involved in this matter from the bottom of his heart, but it seemed that he couldn't escape.

"Lin Jue, I heard that the matter of pacification after the war is a bit tricky, and the grain and grass materials for relief are insufficient, and the imperial court has not been able to allocate them in time. That's why you have to go back to Beijing to urge. But I don't know if I can make progress? Guo Kun's question interrupted Lin Jue's thoughts.

Lin Jue was surprised by Guo Kun's well-informed, but he was quickly relieved. This matter is not a secret matter, if Guo Kun wants to know, he can inquire about it from various channels, and it is not too difficult.

"Indeed, I returned to Beijing to urge the distribution of food and materials. Privy Envoy Yang has promised to find a way for me. I think there is always a result in three or two days. Lin Jue nodded.

"I wanted to remind you that Yang Jun suddenly admired and valued you so much, and I am afraid that there is something wrong with it. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. He promised to provide you with relief supplies, but he did not allocate them, which is probably a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for you. We all worry about whether he has another purpose. Guo Kun frowned.

Lin Jue was surprised again, Guo Kun could actually think of this, but he underestimated him. But after thinking about it again, I feel that this is probably not something that Guo Kun can think of, most of it is the idea of Guo Bing and some other think tank military advisors.

"Brother is too worried. It's not that complicated. Besides, what purpose can Yang Jun have for doing this? What does he get in me? I am the appeasement messenger he recommended, and if I can't do this errand well, what good can he do? I'm afraid it's not a bad recommendation. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Guo Bing said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, don't take it lightly. At present, the situation is complicated, Yang Jun and Lu Zhongtian have come together, which is definitely not a good thing. You should already know about the impeachment of Xinfa and Yan Fang, as well as the emperor's edict. On the whole, the integration of forces between the DPRK and China is turbulent. People's hearts are fluctuating, and everyone is thinking about their own ideas. At this time, we must not take it lightly, and we must be more mindful. ”

Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "Thank you father-in-law for your teachings, and the son-in-law will keep it in mind." ”

Guo Kun said on the side: "Lin Jue, the King of Jin has already agreed, if Yang Jun makes things difficult for you with the matter of grain and grass materials this time, the King of Jin is willing to allocate some food and materials to support you in the name of the inspection of the front division of the palace." Allows you to complete the errand of the pacifier. So, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to bow your head to Yang Jun. Got it? ”

Lin Jue was very surprised, Guo Mian actually dared to do this? That's too high-profile. In fact, the Privy Council is also subordinate to the Privy Council. He is only an honorary position, and he has no real power. If you want to allocate money, food and materials to yourself, it must be from the military rations and materials of the front division of the palace, which is not a good idea. This has a lot of drawbacks, and it can easily become a lever for being attacked.

"Yes, Lin Jue, don't worry. Your business is the king's business, and the king has your full support. I'm the front of the temple and I'm checking it. I have the authority to do so. Guo Mian nodded.

Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, little prince, there is no need for this for the time being. Yang Shumi did not refuse, so why should you get involved in this matter? If it doesn't work, I'll ask Your Highness for help. ”

Guo Bing frowned and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, you still don't seem to understand the situation in front of you, I hope you can be sober." The prince's discussion has begun, and this is the time when you must do something. I, the Liang Palace, and you must give advice to the King of Jin, and the King of Jin must win the crown prince, which you should know better than anyone else. If King Huai is made the crown prince, there will be no place for you and us in the future. If you have other ideas, you may be too confused. ”

Guo Bing obviously saw Lin Jue's prevarication, so he unceremoniously pierced this layer of window paper.

Guo Kun also said: "Daddy said very much, Lin Jue, you are never confused, but in this matter, you seem to have been hesitant." I know you don't want to be involved in these things, but you can't. In terms of intelligence and strategy, you are all the people who are urgently needed by His Royal Highness King Jin. Therefore, we hope that you will show your attitude, give advice and serve your Royal Highness King Jin to win the crown prince's position, and serve loyally. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly and was speechless, it turned out that this was not a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, but a Hongmen banquet that forced him to stand in line. From the moment he saw Guo Mian, Lin Jue was actually faintly aware of this.

I have to say that Guo Bing's father and son's words are right. Although Lin Jue was reluctant to get involved in the dispute between the princes, reason told him that they were right. In fact, it is difficult for him to get rid of this matter, and after quelling the rebellion, he actually has to stand on Guo Mian's side. If Guo Xu, the king of Huai, wins in the battle for the crown prince, including the Liang Wangfu and himself, there will indeed be no place to live.

After Guo Bing's father and son made their words clear, three pairs of eyes, including Guo Mian, were staring at Lin Jue tightly, and they were waiting for Lin Jue's answer.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, father-in-law, brother. Do you think I have any other choice? Why do you say these things? Lin Jue's words were plausible, but in the ears of Guo Mian and Guo Bing's father and son, this was a clear statement.

All three breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Guo Mian raised his glass and said, "Lin Jue, this king respects you with a glass." You can serve this king, and this king is very happy. With you, why worry about big things? The king hereby promises that once I inherit the great treasure, you will be the prime minister of the king. With you governing the king, the king can sit back and relax. Today, the second uncle and Guo Kun testify here, if they violate this statement, the sky will hate it, and the earth will hate it. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly. Guo Mian also began to learn this set, draw a big cake for himself, and before he skimmed the eight characters, he first tempted him with interests. But this is also human nature, and Guo Mian can only use this to win people's hearts. But I don't know that he promised the prince and his son

What is it, maybe let Guo Kun be the privy envoy. If this is the case, he is afraid that he will also be a puppet after becoming the emperor.

"His Royal Highness carries love, Lin Jue is grateful." Lin Jue was noncommittal, neither grateful nor excited. Calm as a stone. This made Guo Mian feel a little uncomfortable.

Guo Bing's father and son were very happy, Guo Bing stroked his beard and said, "Okay, Lin Jue has already promised, so now many things can be discussed openly and honestly." Lin Jue, there have been so many changes in the DPRK and China recently, we all want to hear your opinion. There are different opinions here, and everyone has a small abacus in their hearts. The DPRK and China forces have changed and consolidated rapidly. Impeaching Yan Fang, pointing out the shortcomings of the new law, committing one's own edict, and the prince's discussion, all these things are mixed together. There are frequent changes in the personnel of all parties, and each is cautious in words and deeds. Everyone couldn't see how the situation was developing, even the king was in the clouds. So, I'd love to hear your thoughts on all of this. Can you tell us how you feel about all of this? ”

"Yes, Lin Jue, this king is also dizzy and suspicious by all kinds of words. I look forward to you answering my questions. You give this king a part, and you say it. Guo Mian also said continuously.

Although Lin Jue did not make up his mind to serve Guo Mian, Lin Jue could not stay out of the matter. The respect of the three people in front of them is also touching, no matter what the purpose is, at least they are full of expectation and respect for their own ideas. Two of them, who had once been extremely disdainful of themselves, now held them like treasures. Another person most qualified to become the future Emperor of the Great Zhou. This kind of respect makes no one can ignore it and feel very proud. Lin Jue was not exempt from vulgarity, so he decided not to hold back any more.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin loves it, and his father-in-law values it, how dare Lin Jue disobey it. However, my knowledge is shallow, and what I say may not be right, and my opinion may not be appropriate, so I ask Your Highness and my father-in-law to consider and listen to it. Lin Jue said.

"Alright, you're welcome. Brother-in-law, they are all from their own family, don't be hypocritical. Just say what you think. Guo Kun rolled his eyes and said. Sometimes he just can't stand Lin Jue's pretending strength. is obviously confident, but he wants to say some nonsense. If you really want to refute him, he can refute you without any way out, and prove that he is right. The brother-in-law is more than resourceful, but sometimes the mother-in-law grinds and chirps.

"Well, then I'm not pretentious. Where to start? I'm just hearing about some things about the capital, and I don't know the specific situation yet. So, father-in-law, let's talk about what happened during this time. Lin Jue said.

Guo Bing nodded in agreement, and after raising a glass to drink, Kan Kan told all the recent events in the imperial court. I have to say that Guo Bing's news is still very well-informed, although he was not present at the court meeting, but what people said, what details were in the palace, and what comments the important officials of the court and China had on what occasion afterwards, he was like a treasure, and he said it clearly. This made Lin Jue very surprised. Obviously, Guo Bing has his own system of inquiring about information in the DPRK. There are many ministers who must have had private dealings with Guo Bing. Otherwise, there would never be such a specific and detailed source.

At the end, Guo Bing said: "The above is what has happened in the last month or so, let's go through them one by one." First of all, what is the purpose of Lu Zhongtian's large-scale impeachment of Yan Fang and his wife, and their criticism of the new law, and they did not hesitate to use the most severe charges to launch the impeachment? Do they hate Yan Zheng Su Fang Dunru and the new law so much? It's said that the rebellion is responsible, but there is no need to be so crazy. It is too much to unite nearly 200 officials above the fifth grade in the capital and the local government to play impeachment together. ”

Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "In the rebellion of the Qingjiao, the disadvantages of the new law were fully revealed, and people took the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes, so it is difficult for those who changed the law to take the blame." There is no doubt about that. ”

"Well, it seems that your opinion has not changed. You've said that before. Guo Bing nodded.

Lin Jue said: "This can't be whitewashed, it's a fact." Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai used this to launch the impeachment on a reasonable basis, and there is nothing improper about this. But...... Their motive was obviously not to bring down Yan Fang and the others. Although they may have wanted to impeach Lord Yan and Mr. Fang for a long time and bring the new law to a standstill, this is not their main purpose this time. This time, their purpose was to reinvigorate their prestige and let the officials of the court understand that his strength Lu Zhongtian was still there. He can let whoever he wants to fall. On the one hand, it is a warning to those officials who defect because of the failure of the counterinsurgency, and on the other hand, it is also a show of strength and a revival of prestige. In essence, it is still to do homework for the competition for the crown prince. ”

"Oh? In essence, it is for the struggle for the crown prince's position? I didn't expect that. Guo Bing said in surprise.

Lin Jue said: "Of course, after quelling the Qingjiao rebellion this time, the court's comments on His Royal Highness King Huai are unfavorable. Of course, Lu Zhongtian must stand up and save people's hearts. Xinfa and Yan Fang are just targets. ”

"Makes sense. This is not aimed at Yan Fang and the others, but no matter who they are, as long as they are weighty, they will become targets. It's just that Yan Fang and the two of them are to blame for this rebellion, so they have become the most suitable target and the target that can best show his strength. The same is true for everyone else. Guo Bing nodded.

"Exactly. So he made a huge noise, and he was a book of ten thousand words, and he scolded the national thief. Again, let the local officials go to the book. But he forgot two key points. First, the new law and Yan Fang are both people supported by the emperor, and the new law was implemented with the support of the emperor. Attacking the two Yan Fang and attacking the new law is a disguised denial of the emperor's policy. This kind of drastic method will arouse the emperor's disgust. He may have thought that the emperor would no longer protect Yan Fang and the others, because it had already caused a great chaos. ignored the emperor's psychology and face. Second, he made such a big noise, which just went against his previous style of low-key and cautious behavior. Hundreds of courtiers staged impeachment, although it can be interpreted as the new law caused public anger, but in fact, it also exposed the power of Lu Zhongtian's faction in the court. When the emperor saw this, he must have been surprised and frightened. The emperor may have never known that Lu Zhongtian had so many officials with him and listened to him. Even if there is a good reason, it must be psychologically uncomfortable. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

Everyone in the audience thought so, and Lin felt that the analysis was indeed very reasonable. Especially the analysis of Guo Chong's psychology, with his own understanding of this imperial brother, it can be said that he is three points. His imperial brother's heart is not as open-minded as it seems on the outside. It is precisely because I know him too well that I have been so low-key and cautious for so many years. But even so, the royal brother still found an opportunity to arrange himself. It can be seen that the royal brother is narrow-minded and suspicious.

Lu Zhongtian

He was very cautious in his actions before, he was good at figuring out his intentions and being good at greeting, so he was trusted by Guo Chong. In addition, Concubine Mei is favored, and she is even more honored. But those are all built on one foundation, that is, Lu Zhongtian's forces are under his control. Lu Zhongtian is indeed well hidden, even if he impeachs and frames others, he mostly hides behind the scenes as a good gentleman. But this time, Lu Zhongtian may have made a mistake, he actually jumped out, and called on hundreds of courtiers to advance and retreat together, which would definitely be a threat to Guo Chong. With the temperament of the royal brother, how can he be calm. Lu Zhongtian was really smart and confused for a while, and it was indeed a little puzzling that he made such a mistake.

"You mean, the reason why the emperor issued an edict to forcibly protect Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru was actually deliberate. It's just to give Lu Zhongtian a good look, right? Guo Bing groaned.

Lin Jue smiled: "Whether that's the case or not, I don't dare to say." However, don't you think that the emperor's act of sinning against himself is a bit abrupt? Even if the emperor advocates changing the law, the responsibility for this crime still lies with Yan Fang and the others. Everyone knows that the two of them are responsible for the specific changes in the law, and the emperor gives them great power of self-authoritarianism, and as courtiers, they should control the risk within a certain range. intensifies the contradictions and causes trouble, how can the emperor be held responsible? It can be seen that the emperor's move is suspected of acting in a fit of anger. ”

Guo Mian said loudly: "Yes, when I went to see my father during the day today, my father was furious. I went to the harem and quietly asked the queen mother, who said that my father was indignant because of his own edict. said that the subordinate was not virtuous, and forced him, the emperor, to come out and apologize. Since then, Shi has been infamous and will always be laughed at. And none of these courtiers have written to comfort them for a few days. The king has been wrong, is it true that the courtiers have no faults? said that they were actually at ease one by one. If the father really thinks that he is at fault, how can he be indignant? ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Your Highness's words can be corroborated. It can be seen that the emperor is unwilling, and the heart of the guilty edict is difficult to peace. So, we can draw a conclusion. Does the emperor have the heart to protect Yan Fang and the two of them, and the heart to defend the new law? There must be. But it is by no means so drastic as to use such a way to defend the new law and the strict party. There's an element of anger in this. Everyone thinks that the emperor's edict is to protect Yan Fang and the others, and he is determined to defend them and uphold the new law. In my opinion, this is not entirely the case. ”

Guo Bing's father and son nodded frequently, and this analysis, as soon as it was confirmed, did subvert everyone's previous assumptions.

"So, you mean, the emperor is actually not as supportive of Xinfa and Yan Fang as we see? The emperor is actually dissatisfied in his heart? Guo Kun frowned and asked.

Lin Jue said: "There is no doubt about this, if the new law causes chaos, will the emperor still be happy in his heart?" Lord Yan and Lord Fang didn't seem to have any indication so far, wasn't the emperor annoyed in his heart? It can only be said that Lu Zhongtian's way of acting played the opposite role, making the emperor rebellious. I heard that Yang Jun also intervened and stood on Lu Zhongtian's side. These two military and political officials joined forces, and they had the aggressive tendency to coerce the emperor, with the emperor's arrogant and rigid temperament, how could they allow them to control themselves? So if you don't do it, the emperor will make an edict to blame himself, and let Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun take a big suffocation, but he won't give them face. I'm afraid this is what the emperor thinks in his heart. ”

Guo Bing's father and son and Guo Mian both had a sense of openness. Especially Guo Bing, he is an old Jianghu, and he knows his imperial brother very well, and it is even more reasonable to listen to Lin Jue's analysis from his point of view. Because of the emperor's character, the more he is forced to do so, the more incredible things will happen. The more it will make him angry, and he will do something desperate. Just like when he was a child, he almost drowned himself in a puddle to punish himself for his disrespect. He's going to do anything.

The three of them looked at Lin Jue with admiration and confusion in their eyes. How could this young man in his early twenties analyze such subtleties. From the situation to the character and psychology of the person, the head of the analysis is the Tao, and the key is that it is still very reasonable. Isn't this kind of profound understanding and analysis the vision of an old man who has experienced so much of it?

"His Royal Highness King Jin, have you ever written to ask for guilt?" Lin Jue asked Guo Miandao.

Guo Mian was stunned and said in surprise: "Please? I?? What sin am I asking for? ”

Lin Jue sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, didn't you hear the emperor complaining angrily? You said that the emperor blamed these courtiers for being at ease one by one, and they didn't go to the book to comfort them. Why are you indifferent when you hear such complaints? If the king has a fault, is the courtier not responsible? The courtiers assist the king in the affairs of the state, and the king's fault is not the courtier's failure to fulfill his duties? The emperor has no steps to go down at the moment, he has issued an edict of guilt, and what he needs is for the courtiers to write to him to ask for guilt, and blame themselves for not being able to assist him. But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have not moved, how can you let the emperor step down? His Royal Highness King Jin should take the lead, what a great opportunity this is. Aren't you going to fight for the crown prince? Why not do it? ”

"Ahh Guo Bing's father and son and Guo Mian both woke up like a dream. Writing to ask for guilt is not really guilty, writing is a gesture, a gesture to exonerate the emperor. The emperor doesn't want to be infamous in history, and the courtiers should help. It's a pity that the courtiers are all lumps of wood. Unexpectedly, one by one. At this time, the first one to come out to ask for guilt will give the emperor an excellent impression. This is an excellent opportunity to please the emperor.

"Yes, yes, yes, please hurry up, Your Highness, write quickly. After you write, this king also writes, and we all write. This is a great opportunity not to be preempted. Immediately, immediately! Guo Bing woke up like a dream and shouted loudly.

Lin Jue said with a smile: "Then it doesn't have to be like this now, handing the fold in the middle of the night seems too deliberate, and it will be handed over tomorrow." ”

Guo Bing also felt that he seemed to be a little out of shape, too eager, and lost some grace. So he sat down and fixed his mind: "That's what I said, it's not too late to play tomorrow morning." Lin Jue, if you have any other good suggestions and plans for the competition for the crown prince, you might as well say them today. Everyone worked together to make a thorough preparation. In a few days, it is estimated that the court meeting to appoint the prince will begin, and I have to be prepared to deal with it. ”

"Yes, Lin Jue, you analyze the situation for this king. Many people have told this king that I am sure of victory. I myself don't think it's too much of a problem. But now, this king has no bottom in his heart. This time, Lu Zhongtian was able to unite hundreds of officials to impeach Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, and they would definitely have the upper hand in the court meeting. If Yang Jun is added, I'm afraid I don't have much chance of winning. Shouldn't we be doing something? Guo Mian also said eagerly.

Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
