At today's court meeting, Guo Chong did not give anyone room to refute, he just made a little foreshadowing and announced his decision. The ministers present didn't even have the possibility of being consulted, Guo Chong only told them that this was his decision and there was no doubt about it.

Of course, Guo Chong also made an explanation, he basically copied Lin Jue's exposition on the theory of virtuous elders, and only made some simple changes. He told his ministers that he had indeed had hesitations and difficult choices between the two princes. Until he figured out the truth that the stability of the country and the stability of the system are more important than the so-called virtuous king. He said that the Great Zhou should be stable and not chaotic, and what is needed is not a virtuous king, but a king of contemplation, not a king of destruction. He said that Guo Mian was exactly the person he needed. Although Guo Xu is excellent in some aspects, Guo Mian is the most suitable in the position of the lord of the Great Zhou. This is also in line with the tradition of the Great Zhou Dynasty of the Risang. He repeatedly stressed that the Great Zhou should not be chaotic, and the Great Zhou should be stable. He told his courtiers that from this day onwards, the dust would settle, and that he would not spare any more discussion about the pros and cons of the prince's affairs. From now on, Guo Mian will become the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and will participate in the governance of the country, Guo Mian represents him, and whoever is disrespectful to Guo Mian is disrespectful to him.

When these words were spoken, the palace was silent. Surprise and shock were written on everyone's faces. They never thought that with the support of the prime minister and the privy envoy, and under such a bad crime of Concubine Rong, Guo Mian could still become the crown prince. This made them feel incredible, and even wondered if the emperor was coerced.

They were eager to see Lu Zhongtian's reaction. However, Lu Zhongtian's face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any waves. However, Yang Jun's face was red, and he seemed to be extremely angry and kept wanting to say something. Lu Zhongtian, the biggest supporter, actually didn't say a word, bowed his head calmly, walked out of the hall calmly, and got into the car and left calmly.

Everyone who supported King Guo Mian of Jin smiled and celebrated with their foreheads. Today's incident was definitely a big surprise, although this group of people supported King Jin, but in fact, they never really thought that King Jin would really be made the crown prince, so they were ecstatic.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, this group of people couldn't wait to meet to go to the palace of the king of Jin to congratulate, someone came to invite Lin Jue, they faintly felt that the king of Jin could get the position of the prince, and the three envoys Lin had a lot to do with it. Today's success is done, so naturally I want to invite Lord Lin to be lively and lively in the palace of the King of Wujin.

Lin Jue smiled and declined their invitation.

"I'm sorry everyone, today's Dragon Boat Festival, my wife, concubines and children are still waiting for me to go back to reunite, drink realgar wine together, and eat zongzi. Forgive me for not being able to go with you. Farewell, farewell! ”

Lin Jue arched his hand, turned around and walked out of the main hall quickly, and quickly disappeared under the stone steps. A group of officials stared at each other in confusion.

"What's going on, the winner is not happy, and the loser is not annoyed, it's really a bit abnormal." Someone whispered.

Everyone nodded, Lu Xiang and the others did not make a big fuss and get angry, and Lord Lin did not have the slightest sense of joy. The winner and the loser are so calm, what the hell is going on?

"Mo Duo thought about you, our brains are not enough, and we can't figure out their minds. Let's hurry up and congratulate His Royal Highness King Jin. This time, it is not in vain that we have been following His Royal Highness King Jin. ”

"What King Jin? Now it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's time to change your tune. You're right, how can you not congratulate such a happy event? Let's be the first people to go to congratulate. Today, I have to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drink good wine and be a decent seat

What about the guests? ”

"Yes, yes, let's go!"

A group of officials walked out of the hall with a grin, and quickly put the abnormal attitudes of Lu Zhongtian, Lin Jue and others behind them.

Indeed, today's incident was not an accident for Lin Jue at all. Guo Mian became the crown prince in Lin Jue's expectation. Until the attack, Lin Jue actually didn't think that Guo Mian would win. But after the attack, Lin Jue knew that Guo Xu had made the biggest mistake since he fought for the crown prince. A long time ago, Lin Jue planted seeds of doubt in Guo Chong's heart, and those seeds all germinated and occupied Guo Chong's heart. Guo Chong's snub of Guo Xu is proof that the seed germinated. When Guo Xu's favor in Guo Chong's mind was exhausted, everything was actually logical.

If Guo Xu can be cautious in his words and deeds, restrain himself, and not toss anything, then things are still very difficult to say. But Guo Xu obviously couldn't bear it anymore, he was eager to reverse all this, and once again walked out of the stupor. That morning, he didn't need to say much, Guo Chong already knew that Guo Xu had done it. For Guo Chong, this kind of behavior is absolutely intolerable. He could shield Guo Xu, but it was purely because of the royal face and maintaining the last dignity, but since then, Guo Xu's dream of becoming the crown prince has officially been shattered.

Therefore, today Guo Chong announced Guo Mian's decision to become the crown prince, Lin Jue was not surprised. If it wasn't Guo Mian who was announced, it would have been an accident. Judging from Lu Zhongtian's reaction, it is obvious that Lu Zhongtian also understands this, he knows that it is irretrievable, so he is so calm. And Yang Jun's anger just shows that he doesn't know everything, so he feels surprised and angry.

Lin Jue's mood at the moment was actually a little complicated, he thought that he would be relieved and happy. After all, Guo Mian was made the crown prince, which shows that the failure of Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and others is already a sure thing. Lin Jue should have been happy and proud that he had won the battle with Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and others, and this victory was almost decisive. The battle for the crown prince is by no means a dispute between gentlemen. Both sides bear a huge risk of failure. The loser's side will have to pull the list and be liquidated in the future. This was the fate of the Lin family in the previous life. Today's victory is doomed to the fate of Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun and others. It would have been a terrible end.

This is a fortunate thing, I am the victor's side, and in the future, I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and I will definitely be hot and powerful. But Lin Jue still couldn't feel happy. He always felt panicked in his heart, a little uncomfortable, and had an indescribable unclear and unsteady feeling.

On the way back, Lin Jue kept thinking about this question. Seeing everyone on the street celebrating the festival happily and smiling the people, Lin Jue suddenly understood where the pimple in his heart was. In fact, I have always had a bad impression of Guo Mian. Guo Mian was really just a gentleman in Lin Jue's heart, and after getting along with the counterinsurgency army for a while, Lin Jue realized this more clearly.

Although he said in front of the emperor that Guo Mian may not be virtuous, may not be a good emperor, or something like that, Lin Jue knew that it was because he was trying to persuade Guo Chong to use strong words. Supporting Guo Mian is also the reason why there is no choice. With Guo Mian's character, it may not be a blessing for the people after inheriting the unification. A king who likes poetry, wine, feasting, and drinking and playing some romantic and elegant things will most likely mess up the country, and most likely will like to toss and turn around regardless of the life and death of the people and the status quo of the Great Zhou. In times of peace and prosperity, they may become a good story

。 But when the country is in troubled times, they will only know how to lament 'Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country can't afford to look back at the bright moon.' 'The king of the dead country. Lin Jue could almost foresee what the Great Zhou would face after Guo Mian ascended the throne. A monarch who only understands elegance and expects him to work hard to rise up, that must be a luxury.

But Lin Jue had to support him, so this was the tangled block in Lin Jue's heart. There were only two princes, and he had no choice. In fact, compared with Guo Mian, Lin Jue is more optimistic about Guo Xu. Although Guo Xu is not the appearance of a saint, at least he is decisive in his means, bold in his actions, and has a fierce momentum in his body. Compared with Guo Mian, he may be more suitable to become the lord of the Great Zhou. But that's just in comparison, that's all. Guo Xuzhi is talented, narrow-minded, and ruthless. After he became the emperor, no one knew what kind of crazy thing he would do that disregarded the national situation. When Guo Xu went to the Nancheng Theater to recruit him, he said the so-called crazy plan of Lian Juzhen to destroy Liao, Lin Jue felt deeply.

Overall, the two princes are not saints, and there is already a deep hatred between Guo Xu and Lin Jue, Guo Xu's actions have violated Lin Jue's bottom line, and Lin Jue can only choose to support Guo Mian. Perhaps it was this feeling of knowing that none of them would be good for Da Zhou, but they had to choose one of the two, that was the reason for Lin Jue's depression. It's like a bubble of dog shit and a bubble of cow dung, and people in the world can only choose one of them to eat, and the mood is naturally very uncomfortable. The people on the streets may not know what lies ahead at the moment. But Lin Jue seems to have seen the prospect of Da Zhou.

In addition to these, another reason why Lin Jue was restless was because of Lu Zhongtian's reaction to this matter. Even if Lu Zhongtian knew that today's result was inevitable, it seemed that he should not be so calm. The same was true for Wu Chunlai, he even followed Lu Zhongtian to leave with an indescribable smile on his face, and after that smile was caught by Lin Jue, it made Lin Jue feel creepy.

You know, this defeat was devastating for them. After Guo Mian ascended the throne, a series of retaliatory actions were about to begin, and Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai would inevitably bear the brunt, and they had no reason to be so calm. No matter how deep the city is, it will not show indifference. Could it be that they still have any tricks that they can't do?

Lin Jue thought about this issue carefully, and he believed that although Guo Mian became the crown prince was not the beginning of destruction, the prince would only have real power after he ascended the throne. But in the history of the Great Zhou, being the crown prince means that he must become the lord of the Great Zhou, unless there is any extremely bad behavior. But obviously, it is impossible for Guo Mian to do anything bad that Guo Chong cannot tolerate, someone will restrain his behavior, and it is impossible for him to make a big mistake before he ascends the throne. However, how did Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai come to be so calm? Or have they resigned themselves to their fate? Giving up struggling? This does not seem to be the style of this powerful and domineering prime minister.

Along the way, Lin Jue thought a lot, but many things were difficult to solve. Even if you are uneasy, you will achieve what you want. As for those things that worry about you, there will always be a way to solve them. When the tall gatehouse of the Lin family's mansion appeared in front of Lin Jue's eyes, Lin Jue stretched his brows and a smile appeared on his face. He knew that in the house, his beautiful wives and concubines were waiting for his return. Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the unique aroma of realgar wine and mugwort wine is afraid that the silver cup has been filled. A table full of good wine and food and his own women are waiting for him to return and reunite. It's enough to leave all thoughts behind and devote yourself to this joyous moment.
