(Xie: The generous reward of the clouds, the ticket for Coke and some ice.) Others don't know, Guo Bing knows, and I'm afraid what Lin Jue said is not wrong. His own imperial brother will never allow others to get involved in this matter. Whoever dares to lift a finger, he is afraid that you will die without a place to bury.

"The emperor may want to see, after the rebellion, after the edict of guilt, after his reputation has been damaged. How many people jumped up and down on the throne of the crown prince and behaved positively. If Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun are more active in the matter of the crown prince's canonization, the more dissatisfied the emperor will be with him. Therefore, the more active he is, the more he often arouses the emperor's disgust. At this time, advance is retreat, and retreat is advance. I don't know if my father-in-law and His Royal Highness King Jin can agree with this truth. Lin Jue said with blazing eyes.

Guo Bing slapped the table and shouted: "That's right, clear the clouds and see the sun, and hit the nail on the head." This king was also wondering about this matter, but he couldn't be sure of the emperor's thoughts. But today, Lin Jue's analysis is very reasonable, which makes me feel like I am suddenly opened. The major matter of the crown prince needs to have an opinion within the royal family first, but the emperor has no intention of convening the royal family to discuss. Come to think of it, the emperor has no intention of acting actively at all. ”

Guo Mian was listening in a fog, he actually didn't understand the meaning of a lot of words Lin Jue said, he only stretched his neck and shouted: "Lin Jue, what do you mean?" How should we deal with Lu Zhongtian, the king of Huai? They will play a big game and protect the king of Huai as the crown prince. ”

Guo Bing smiled and said, "Then let them toss, we don't have to do anything, just watch from the sidelines." Of course, let some old ministers play and explain the things of the elders, and the order of ethics is necessary, and the others don't need to work so hard. Even the old man thought that perhaps His Royal Highness the King of Jin should be allowed to go up and ask the emperor to withdraw the proposal to ordain the crown prince, saying that the emperor was in full bloom in the spring and autumn, virtuous and sage, and there was no need to prematurely canonize the prince. Please ask the emperor to retract his order. Lin Jue, what do you think? ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Isn't this too much?" It's too much. It looks pretentious. If the emperor is allowed to understand his intentions, it will not be beautiful. But that's just my family's words, and my father-in-law will do it at his discretion. ”

Guo Bing nodded and said: "It's a bit hypocritical, tomorrow the King of Jin will be the first to ask for a guilty fold, and it does seem a bit deliberate to come to such a fold again." Think again. Come, drink. ”

The four of them raised several glasses in a row. Guo Kun suddenly spoke: "What Lin Jue said before is indeed delicate and clever. But, I would like to say, what if we misjudge? What if the emperor wasn't as Lin Jue thought? Then didn't we just sit and do nothing, and then give the crown prince to King Huai? It's not about retreating, it's about sitting and waiting for death. Of course, I admit that I don't have the strategy and wisdom of my brother-in-law, and I just raise my own concerns. After all, this is a major matter related to the position of the crown prince, and the stakes are very high. ”

Guo Mian heard this: "Yes, I don't think it's very reliable. Nothing to do. Does Jiang Taigong fish? ”

Lin Jue put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be humble, what you said this time is not wrong." What I said before is one of the possibilities, and it is based on guessing the emperor's mind. If you guess wrong, you will sit back and wait to do nothing. ”

"This ...... That's not all in vain. Guo Bing almost knocked over the wine cup in front of him.

Lin Jue said: "To do great things, you can't help but think carefully and have sufficient filings. There is no time to bet on one possibility, and that is gambling. The gambler loses gold and silver, and this matter can affect the life of the country's wealth, so it cannot be lost. So there must be multiple responses. If the roundabout strategy does not succeed and it must be head-to-head, then there is nothing to be done. All you have to do is sharpen your sword and helmet, and fight to the death. Of course, we must strengthen our own strength. In the face of a powerful enemy, not having sufficient combat power is tantamount to sending to death. ”

"But didn't you say that it won't work to pull public opinion to resist, and behind the King of Jin, there are only some old masters and ministers. How to compete with Lu Zhongtian and even Yang Jun's team? Guo Bing frowned.

Lin Jue smiled: "Why don't you ask the Queen Mother what she thinks?" ”

Guo Bing was startled, and shouted with his forehead: "Oh, why did I forget the old lady?" The words of the Queen Mother are very important, the emperor not only has to consider the opinions of the courtiers, but also the opinions of the Queen Mother. And in this matter, the Queen Mother will stand on the side of King Jin nine times out of ten. Because...... Because...... In short, the opinion of the Queen Mother is extremely important. ”

Guo Bing didn't make it clear, the reason why the Queen Mother would stand on the side of King Jin nine times out of ten was actually well known. Especially Guo Bing, he knew about Concubine Rong's change of son, and he knew that the Queen Mother desperately hoped that the future throne would fall on the prince born to her niece of the Wei family. But it's a pity that the heavens didn't fulfill people's wishes, and the third prince Guo Hao died young, not to mention how uncomfortable Empress Dowager Wei felt in her heart. The hope of the Wei family was cut off, and in this case, the Empress Dowager Wei definitely did not want Lu Mei's son to become emperor. Concubine Mei and Concubine Rong were already at odds, Concubine Mei's son became the emperor, and the Wei family had no good fruit to eat. Therefore, supporting the son of Empress Yuan became the only choice for Empress Dowager Wei.

"Old grandmother, yes, how can you forget your old grandmother? I went to ask my grandmother for a message, and she would support me. Guo Mian also shouted.

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin can't do anything, if you go and beg, things will be broken." My father-in-law can't mention it. Maybe the princess went to the palace to see Concubine Rong, and then Concubine Rong visited the Queen Mother and talked about it. Other than that, no one can mention. Whoever mentions it will be taboo. Father-in-law, don't forget the case of Kang Zizhen, the emperor's reaction when the queen mother finally spoke out. As my father-in-law said, the emperor summoned my father-in-law to speak alone. ”

Of course, Guo Bing remembered that case, the queen mother spoke, and the emperor had to lower the punishment. But the emperor was very dissatisfied in his heart. Afterwards, he summoned himself, and told Guo Bing that he scolded Huai, saying that he used his mother to suppress himself, which was really hateful. Guo Bing was extremely humble at that time, kowtowing again and again to admit his mistakes, and only then did he pass that level. If there was such a repetition, the emperor would be extremely angry. So this time, the emperor must not think that he asked the Queen Mother to speak, but the Queen Mother herself wants to come out to speak. Otherwise, I am afraid it will backfire.

"Fortunately, you reminded me, Lin Jue, it seems that you have a lot of thoughts about the whole situation. With your help, King Jin can achieve great things. You have to give advice to the king of Jin, and the king of Jin will not treat you badly in the future. Guo Bing said with a smile.

Guo Mian also smiled and nodded: "Yes, I will not treat you poorly, Lin Jue." Come to this king's mansion more often, this king needs your guidance from time to time. ”

Lin Jue nodded helplessly, now that he can't get out, I'm afraid he will inevitably be used by Guo Mian. I didn't think about the thing I wanted to get rid of in every possible way, but I was still fatally entangled. Let's hope it will end differently.

……

The banquet did not stop until nearly three watches. Lin Jue took the little county lord and Lin Zhan, who was already asleep, and left the old palace by car. The carriage and horses were walking on the deserted street, and in the carriage, the little county lord showed Lin Jue the gifts given by the princess to the children. It was all precious gold and silver, a pure gold longevity lock, a gold bracelet, a small jasper sword to ward off evil spirits, and a small bowl made of pure gold.

"Is your mother trying to say that you want our children to eat with a golden rice bowl for the rest of their lives?" Lin Jue asked with a smile.

"Yes, my mother said that this child will be blessed in the future, and he will live happily without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of his life. And he gave him bread from the golden bowl. Mother is really, this bowl is so heavy, how can my family be able to hold it? The little county lord smiled.

Lin Jue sighed and said, "The idea is good, but it's not realistic." Whether he can live happily for a lifetime depends on his own creation. Being born in the present world is not necessarily a blessing. This peaceful day may not last long. ”

The little county lord was surprised: "Why did the husband say this? What did they tell you tonight, Daddy? ”

Lin Jue grabbed the little county lord's hand, rubbed it in his palm, and said softly: "The battle for the crown prince is about to begin, and the turmoil in the court is inevitable. The new law may not be able to be implemented, and the Liao people have completely torn their faces this time. Internal and external troubles arise at the same time, and the slightest carelessness is a great turmoil. Tonight, I have to follow your father's and brother's wishes and make suggestions for King Jin to seize the crown prince. You know, I don't want to get involved, but I can't stay out of it. On the one hand, your father and brother must be on the side of King Jin, and I can't help but take a unified position. In addition, after the rebellion, I was already regarded as a confidant of King Jin, and I couldn't get rid of this identity. Therefore, I can only choose to plan for King Jin. ”

The little county lord was silent for a long time, and comforted softly: "Husband, since the matter has come to this, don't think about it. No one can stay out of this kind of thing. Why should you be anxious? ”

Lin Jue looked down at the cute face of the sleeping child in the arms of the little county lord, and sighed lightly: "I can't help but worry, if it's just me, of course I don't care about anything." But now I have a wife and children, and I am surrounded by a bunch of people I care about. And my entire Lin family has hundreds of people. If there is a discord, it will affect everyone. How can I not be worried? ”

The little county lord hooked Lin Jue's head and neck, gave him a gentle kiss, and said in a low voice: "Husband, don't be so anxious, no one knows whether it's a curse or a blessing." You just do what you think you want to do, and all of us stand behind you and support you, and we never blame you. If you are stressed because of this, you will not be able to concentrate on your work. Who doesn't do everything they can to survive? Isn't that true of my father and brother? They have actually had a hard time for so many years, but they are still working hard. That's true for everyone. We have our troubles, but at least we won't go hungry, we won't freeze to death. Think about the poor people in the world, they didn't give up in despair, and we have no reason, don't we? ”

Lin Jue was originally a little depressed, but after making a decision today, he always felt depressed and uneasy. The little county lord's words gently swept through his heart like a spring breeze, making the anxiety in his heart become peaceful. Lin Jue thought that he was not such a fragile person, but it may be the shadow of his previous life that made him always have a barrier in this matter. He actually needs someone to comfort him, and the little county lord's comfort is at the right time.
