(Ask for a subscription!) Collection! Guo Bing was stunned, and at the same time very angry in his heart. He didn't doubt what Lin Jue said, because Lin Jue would never dare to lie about such a thing. He was angry that the bandits were so bold that they had developed to such a point that they had already ignored themselves, the prince sitting in Hangzhou.

Lin Jue continued: "Lord Wang, Hai Dongqing is determined to put me to death. He is angry that I have killed his son, and he hates me even more for ruining his great things, so he will want to get rid of me and be hasty with me. Hai Dongqing will not stop until he achieves his goal, this is the fourth time, and the next time is probably not far away. The grass people are in danger now, and maybe tomorrow, the prince will hear the news of my death. I want to think about this matter, but I can't report to the official, so I can only come to ask the prince. ”

Guo Bing frowned, but he couldn't do anything for a while. If it is a matter within the jurisdiction of the imperial court, he can certainly help to some extent. But Hai Dongqing is the leader of the Zhedong bandits, he is an extralegal person, and his own prince is useless to Hai Dongqing. Hai Dongqing set his eyes on Lin Jue, but he didn't have the ability to make Hai Dongqing stop. But after all, this matter started because of the birthday ceremony, but I can't ignore it.

"Lin Jue, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, how do you want this king to help you? Otherwise, this king asked Shen Tan to send a few guards to protect you, and maybe Hai Dongqing would retreat in spite of the difficulties. In addition, this king really can't think of any good way. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Lord Wang's method is a symptom but not a root cause." The prince sent someone to protect me, which can naturally keep me safe for a while, but Hai Dongqing's famous bite does not let go, and he does not stop until he reaches his goal, can the prince protect me for a while? Besides, their current target is not only me, but everyone in my Lin family. How many people does the prince have to send to protect us? Take 10,000 steps back, even if the prince is willing to send a large number of people to protect my Lin family, then I, Lin Jue, and the Lin family will have to hide at home for the rest of my life. ”

Guo Bing smacked his lips and frowned, this matter is indeed tricky. It's just one person to protect Lin Jue, but it's only five or six people. There are hundreds of people to protect the Lin family, but it can't be done, how many people do it take. The palace guards are not used to protect the Lin family.

"Then what do you say? How can this king help you? Guo Bing groaned.

"Lord Wang, after thinking about this matter carefully, it seems that there is only one way at present. That's a plan for long-term stability. Instead of passively guarding against them, it is better to take the initiative to eradicate them, wouldn't the world be peaceful from now on? Lin Jue said softly.

"Eradicate them? You're kidding. Haidongqing claims to have 50,000 bandits, entrenched on more than a dozen islands in eastern Zhejiang, and the imperial army is helpless against him. Don't think about it before you speak. Guo Bing smiled stunned.

Lin Jue said softly: "That's why I came to see the prince?" Ask the prince for help. ”

"How can I help? Exterminate Hai Dongqing? Even if I send all the guards in the mansion, even my big ship to you, can you pick Hai Dongqing's bandit nest? Don't laugh at it, you have some skills and have become a big thing, but do you know how lucky you are to achieve something? ”

Lin Jue frowned and was silent. Guo Bing seemed to feel that what he had just said was a bit heavy, so he said earnestly: "Lin Jue, this king really wants to help you, but this matter is really not as simple as you said. This matter will probably have to be considered in the long run. ”

Lin Jue said: "Lord Wang, not to mention that this matter is the sequelae of the incident on Guishan Island, as far as the matter itself is concerned, the bandits are so arrogant, and the prince can't ignore it." As far as I know, the prince came to guard and suppress the bandits by the order of the emperor. This palace was also set up in Hangzhou for the need to suppress bandits. Now that the bandits are so rampant, will the prince let it go? ”

"What are these words? Of course, this king can't let it go, but this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Depending on what you say, you can go out to destroy the pirates, and you can't just move your mouth. This matter involves the whole body, and it is not up to the king to decide alone. Guo Bing frowned.

Lin Jue nodded slowly and said, "I understand, the prince is not going to help." Anyway, if I die, I will die, my Lin family is just an ordinary businessman's family, and our lives are not worth anything. I understand what the prince means, I don't ask the prince anymore, I'll go to someone else. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and turned to leave, Guo Bing frowned and said, "Where are you going?" This king can't help it, who can have a way? ”

Lin Jue sneered: "If the prince doesn't help me, can't I go to others for help?" The prefect Yan Zhengsu has a friendship with my teacher, so he will not sit idly by. I'll go to him and figure out how to get there. Maybe he can help me. ”

Guo Bing was taken aback, and shouted coldly: "Lin Jue, do you want to ask Yan Zhengsu for help?" What do you say to him about the cause and effect of this? ”

Lin Jue sneered: "What else? Tell the truth. ”

Guo Bing's face was like frost in an instant, gloomy and ugly.

"Lin Jue, do you want to report truthfully? Do you want to tell Yan Zhengsu everything about what happened on Guishan Island, Qiu Biao's identity, and Hai Dongqing's intentions? When you think clearly, you will answer this king. Guo Bing's voice was cold, like a layer of ice.

"Lord Wang, I didn't mean to offend you, but now that the lives of my Lin family are threatened, and I may encounter accidents at any time, I have to try my best to ensure the lives of myself and the Lin family. So I have to ask the prince for your understanding. Lin Jue said quietly.

"But don't you know that this is a taboo against the king? Don't you understand this truth? Guo Bing shouted coldly.

"I know, but I can't. I know that the prince will not spare me if I do this, but now that my eyebrows are burning, I can only take care of the present. The prince doesn't care, I can only find someone who can manage it, if I can't solve this matter, I don't need the prince to deal with me, I will die in the hands of Hai Dongqing. I'm a smart man, but I want to be a smart dead man. So, Lord Wang, I'm sorry. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"Presumptuous! How dare you talk to me like that. Believe it or not, this king taught you that you can't get out of my palace half a step today. The king will kill you at once. Guo Bing reprimanded.

Lin Jue looked up at Guo Bing's angry eyes and said softly: "Killing me is like pinching an ant to death, but you might as well tell the prince next." When I came to the palace today, I had no intention of returning alive. I'm ready that if I can't go back today, someone will deliver a letter to the prefect's solemn yamen. That letter will record all the experiences, and I believe that Yan Zhengsu will not sit idly by. The prince wants to kill or chop, and Lin Jue listens to him. But killing me won't keep the secret for the prince. ”

"Bastard! Are you threatening the king? You are so bold, who gave you such the courage to talk to this king? Are you going to turn the other way around? Bastard bastard! Guo Bing completely broke out, reached out and grabbed the teacup, teapot, snack and dishes on the table and smashed it towards Lin Jue's head and face, and at the end, he reached out and overturned the table and kicked the chair away.

The palace guards who were hiding around the guards hurriedly appeared from the surroundings, led by He Chao, the deputy commander of the palace guards, who hurried over with more than a dozen guards.

"Lord Wang. What are the commands? Do you want to take someone? He Chao shouted.

"Get out! Get out of the way for me! Guo Bing scolded angrily.

He Chao froze in place, scratching his head. The guards also looked at each other. Guo Bing scolded angrily: "Don't you want to go? ”

He Chao hurriedly waved his hand, and the others immediately disappeared among the flowers and trees.

Lin Jue stood there quietly, with a faint pain in his body, Guo Bing smashed it just now, Lin Jue stood still, but just protected his head and face. Tea cups and dishes and the like smashed on the body, but it was also painful. But Lin Jue knew that King Liang was afraid that he was going crazy, and he was so bold to confront him in front of him and threaten him, not to mention throwing things and smashing people, it was not uncommon to cut him with a knife.

"You bastard, a pariah, you dare to threaten this king. Ben Wang ...... This king can't spare you. Guo Bing panted and scolded, sitting on a chair that had not been kicked over and panting, his face was pale with anger.

……

Lin Jue's threat hit his weakness, and after the birthday ceremony, the news of Hai Dongqing's intention to rebel was tightly sealed by Guo Bing. Except for the two commanders of the Ning Navy, the prince's father and son, and Lin Jue, who was involved in the affairs of Guishan Island, no one knew this secret. The officials of the Hangzhou government and even the two Zhejiang roads were all strictly concealed. Because once this news is known to Yan Zhengsu and others, they will definitely go to the imperial court, which will be an extremely unfavorable situation for Guo Bing.

The reason why Guo Bing, the king of Liang, was able to leave the capital and stay in Hangzhou was not due to the ancestral system of the imperial court. On the contrary, the fact that a vassal king left Beijing to be stationed in a foreign country was a unique event in this dynasty. The ancestral system of this dynasty is that although the vassal king is an adult and is awarded the title of prince or official position, he must stay in the capital, and the official position is all remote or fictitious, and he is not allowed to leave the capital and garrison outside the capital. The reason why Prime Minister Lu Zhongtian blew the wind in the court that King Liang should return to Beijing was precisely to seize this point.

However, there is also a special reason why King Liang was able to stay in Hangzhou. More than 20 years ago, this area of Wengshan County, Hangzhou was a place where bandits were rampant. Finally, one year, there was a great drought in Hangzhou, which was a rich land of fish and rice, and a great famine was encountered. Some of the desperate hungry people fell into the grass and became pirates, and the pirates quickly grew up and began to run rampant in the eastern part of Zhejiang, causing endless nuisance.

Liangzhejiang Road was the core of the money and grain of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could the imperial court allow chaos here. At this time, Guo Bing, who was fighting with Lu Zhongtian in the capital, and was anxious about the establishment of the crown prince, decided to leave the capital, a place of right and wrong. So he took the initiative to ask his father for help, asking to come and exterminate the bandits and restore the peace of the Liangzhejiang Road.

The emperor didn't know what considerations he had, but he actually agreed to Guo Bing's request, so the young Guo Bing rushed to Hangzhou in the name of the governor of the bandits. Thousands of local garrisons were assembled and began to carry out an all-out encirclement and suppression of the pirates spreading everywhere. At that time, Guo Bing was not as pot-bellied as he is today, and when he was young, Prince Liang was riding a bow and horse, and he was skilled in swords, guns, swords, and halberds. Under the leadership of the wise second prince Guo Bing, the morale of the officers and soldiers was like a rainbow, and they fought several battles with the bandits who had already occupied several county seats, and soon defeated the unorganized bandits, drove them into the sea, and quelled the bandits on the Liangzhejiang Road.

This is exactly what Guo Bing was most proud of when he was young. There are still those bright armors and polished weapons in his study, which is a kind of remembrance of his once powerful time. Even though the fat body with a big belly can't wear armor anymore, and the pampered body can't dance the sword, Guo Bing still can't order people to wipe these things every day, so that he and others can always remember those glorious years.
