Chapter 978: Hints
Lin Jue was a little embarrassed when he was out of his mind. He really didn't want to get in trouble. Lin Jue wasn't sure if the people around Guo Chong were loyal. In fact, you are taking a great risk by doing so. If the emperor takes medicine and has an accident, won't his whole family have to be buried with him. If the emperor wants to give it a try himself, then he must ensure that once something happens, it will not affect him. So after thinking about it, I still sent the boiled pills and let the emperor try one or two, which is more safe and safe. Besides, that prescription is a treasure, and Lin Jue didn't plan to give it to others directly. It's best to be able to hold it in your own hands.
"The minister is taking a huge risk in this move. The emperor is considerate. Lin Jue said in a low voice.
Guo Chong wanted to scold a few words, but finally nodded and said, "That's it, just according to what you said, you go back and boil the pills and send them to me to try." Lin Jue, my net worth and life can be handed over to you, if the symptom is effective, you will save my life. And thou hast done a great thing. ”
Lin Jue agreed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, I still have something to ask you, but I'm a little tired. That's all for today, go. The things you said about counterpart help should be done quickly. Yang Jun and Du Weiji's deputy envoys will also be appointed. But you have to suspend the implementation of the new law on Jingxi Road...... I need to be considered. At the very least, I have to ask for the opinions of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, and I can't answer you. If you can't do what you ask, you must not complain. Also, after you go back, you will immediately refine the medicine, and when you enter the palace tomorrow night, I will try to take the pills. Finally, I would like to remind you that if you leak out half of my illness today, I will kill your entire family and exterminate the Nine Clans. Go ahead. Guo Chong said in a deep voice.
Lin Jueru was amnestied and hurriedly bowed and retired. Guo Chong waved his hand, looking elsewhere, and was interested.
When he came out of the cold front hall and stood on the square in front of the hall again, Lin Jue breathed a long sigh of relief. Today's audience was quite rewarding. If the matter of pacification is supported by the emperor, then there is no need to worry about money, food and materials being stuck by Yang Jun's neck. With the help of Yang Xiu and Du Weiji, he doesn't have to run between Jingxi Road and the capital, and he doesn't have to worry about trivial things every day. More importantly, Lin felt that there was an extremely important piece of information, that is, Guo Chong was seriously ill and his days were numbered. Knowing this news will be more accurate in controlling the whole situation, and some of the previous groundless conjectures and self-righteous speculations will also be corrected. Many things became clear all at once, and there was no need to fumble in the fog.
Of course, Lin Jue hopes that his prescription can be correct. It can cure Guo Chong's disease. It's good for yourself and the whole week. If Guo Chong's illness is cured, the matter of appointing the crown prince will definitely be shelved, which will make the whole situation calm down in an instant. Otherwise, such a hasty proposal for the crown prince may cause a lot of chaos. Da Zhou can't be chaotic now, what is needed is a stable situation, stable people's hearts, and stable policies. If Guo Chong's body is good, he will definitely change in the matter of changing the law. Radical changes may be reversed. Only Guo Chong can do this.
Lin Jue thought about it as he walked outside the palace gate. Walking to the flower bed on the west side of the Chongzheng Palace, suddenly at the intersection leading to the direction of Yanfu Palace, several guards surrounded one person and walked slowly. Lin Jue recognized who that person was at a glance, and hurriedly stopped to hide next to the flower tree, but the person opposite was the first to speak.
"Isn't that Lord Lin? What a coincidence, I didn't expect to see Lord Lin in the palace. ”
Lin Jue's scalp was numb, so he had to walk out with a smile, and bowed: "Lin Jue has seen His Royal Highness King Huai." ”
The person who came was Guo Xu, the king of Huai, who was wearing a white coat, a black coat, and a black fur hat, with a chic and strong figure, and walked quickly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Sure enough, it's Lord Lin, my eyesight is not bad. I recognized Lord Lin at a glance. Lord Lin seems to want to avoid me. Guo Xu arched his hand with a smile, staring at Lin Jue with flickering eyes.
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Your Highness misunderstood, and the lower officials thought that it was a lady in the palace who came out, so they stopped and avoided it." But I didn't know that it was His Royal Highness King Huai. It's clumsy in the lower eye. ”
Guo Xu laughed and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not that you're clumsy, but that you feel ashamed and don't dare to face this king." ”
Lin Jue smiled: "Your Highness is laughing, why don't I dare to face Your Highness?" I haven't done anything to be sorry for Your Highness, so why do you say this? ”
Guo Xu laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, good, you didn't feel sorry for me, it's true." Where did Lord Lin come from? ”
Lin Jue said: "I was called to Xihua Hall to meet Your Majesty. ”
Guo Xu was surprised: "Father actually summoned you?" My father didn't even see me. I came to see my father today, but my father didn't see me, no, I had to go to the harem to see my mother. Your face is really not small, what did the emperor tell you? ”
Lin Jue said: "I talked about the pacification of Jingxi Road, and the emperor cared about this matter, so he reported it truthfully." ”
Guo Xu nodded heavily, and after a while, he said, "Lin Jue, you have a lot of credit for quelling the rebellion this time." Speaking of which, the king has to thank you. If it weren't for your achievements in the two wars, I am afraid that the bandits may not be able to be pacified by now, in that case, the mistakes made by this king in the matter of countering the rebellion will be difficult to make up. This king didn't misunderstand you, this king was optimistic about you at the beginning, and you really proved your ability. ”
Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "Your Highness Miao Zan, I don't dare to be in the bottom." ”
Guo Xu smiled and said: "You deserve it, you are a talent, and you have a bright future in the future." However, this king reminds you that talents also need to be used by the director of Ming, and you can shine with the master, and if you follow the mediocre master, not only will you not be able to show your talents, but you may also die in ruin. Therefore, it is important to choose the right person to follow. You don't want your talents to be buried and die in the future. ”
Lin Jue was stunned, he didn't expect Guo Xu to be so direct, this was a naked threat to himself. The so-called Ming lord and Yong master, doesn't it refer to himself and the king of Jin?
"What does Your Highness mean by this? I don't understand. It's just a small person, and he can't afford to be a talent. I just want to live a peaceful and stable life and serve the court wholeheartedly. Other than that, there are no other thoughts under it. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"Lin Jue, you don't have to pretend to be confused. You are a smart person, and you never need to speak too thoroughly to a smart person. This king's warning to you, don't think that you are following the right person, do you know what the consequences of following the wrong person once you stand on the wrong side? There will be no place to die. As your friend, it is necessary for me to remind you of this. Maybe you don't think of me as a friend, but this king has always regarded you as a friend. What the king said to you is still valid today. The door of my Jin Palace's palace is always open to you, and you are welcome at any time. Guo Xu said in a low voice.
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your love, but I really don't understand what Your Highness is talking about." What stands in line and does not stand in line, and what dies without a place to be buried. It's scary to listen to. How dare you become friends with Your Highness, Your Highness's status is noble, but you don't dare to climb high. ”
Guo Xu's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Very good." It seems that you are fake smart. But this king still has some patience, you can go back and think about it. Before the king's patience wears off, I hope you will make a wise choice. The king is gone, and he takes his leave. ”
Guo Xu threw off his cloak and strode forward. Lin Jue bowed and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”
Guo Xu walked out a few steps quickly, and suddenly turned back to Lin Jue and said, "By the way, Lin Jue, I heard that you have a concubine named Lu Wu, who is the meat of your heart." Well...... It's really beautiful, no wonder you love her so much. Such a beautiful woman, I really feel pity. But you have to hide it, don't be robbed by others. Hahaha. ”
Lin Jue was startled, and when he was about to ask, Guo Xu laughed a few times and quickly disappeared behind Xiao Suo's flowers and trees.
Lin Jue stood at the intersection of the palace road, with goosebumps all over his body. Guo Xu's last few words, which were neither yin nor yang, suddenly mentioned the name of Green Dance, which gave Lin Jue an extremely ominous premonition. Originally, Lu Wu's delay in returning to the capital from Hangzhou had already made Lin Jue feel a little uneasy, so after returning to Beijing, he immediately ordered someone to search for traces. But although Lin Jue was uneasy, he didn't think too much about the worst. After all, the security of Da Zhou is not bad enough to worry about going out safely all the time. The water and land routes to the south are quite peaceful, Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road, which are the state capitals with good public security in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Lin Jue prefers to think that it is Green Dance and Xiaohu who want to play on the road for a few more days. Green Dance may not be greedy to delay the trip, but Xiaohu can't count it. If Xiaohu begs Green Dance to play for a few more days, with Green Dance's love for Xiaohu, he will most likely agree to his request. Therefore, although the time to return to Beijing was delayed, Lin Jue actually did not feel too anxious.
But at this moment, after Lin Jue listened to Guo Xu's last few words, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. Guo Xu talked about Green Dance for no reason? Green Dance is his own concubine, what does this have to do with Guo Xu? He may not have seen Green Dance before, so how could he notice this concubine beside him? He said in a weird way, 'Don't let others take her', what does that mean? Implying that Green Dance was snatched away?
The more Lin Jue thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he suddenly realized that he might have overlooked an extremely important issue, that is, the safety of the people around him. Green Dance was in danger at the beginning, and it was the revenge of the bandits, who killed Hai Dongqing's son and caused Green Dance. After that, Lin Jue was very concerned about the safety of the people around him. But with the extermination of the bandits, Lin Jue has almost forgotten about this matter in the past few years. Now that I have offended a lot of people, in this case, will it cause trouble to Green Dance again?
At present, the situation in the court is tense, and the two factions are about to fight. The struggle for power is a hundred times more dangerous than the battlefield fight, and I get involved in it, and I don't realize that I am protecting the safety of the people around me. What an oversight. These people can do anything to achieve their goals, and they are absolutely likely to do this kind of dirty thing that hurts the opponent's family.
In the midday sun, the temperature is not too cold. But Lin Jue stood in this sunlight, and his body began to tremble inexplicably. His heart also sank into the depths of the cold pool, cold to the bone. He tried not to fall into negative thoughts, and he cautioned himself not to make judgments until the people he sent out did not bring back the news. However, Lin Jue had a feeling that something must have happened to Green Dance, and this matter was done by Guo Xu.
"Guo Xu, Guo Xu. If you dare to dance a single hair at the green, I swear I will make you die without a place to bury. If you dare to use such despicable means to achieve your goals, then don't blame me for no longer keeping the bottom line, I will fight back against you with the most drastic means, and you will regret it. Lin Jue gritted his teeth and dropped two sentences, and walked out of the palace quickly.
