"Isn't it obvious? Is it better to fight a mouse or a tiger? Obviously, fighting a tiger is more intimidating to the ministers. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru had already killed several rats before, and the last step was naturally to beat a tiger to finish. Among the heaviest yamen in the court, among the two governments and three divisions, which yamen do you think is the best soft persimmon? Do you want to go to the trouble of the prime minister and deputy prime minister of the political affairs hall? Or go to the Privy Council Yang Jun and a deputy privy envoy to the trouble of the military generals? This is clearly unrealistic. If you don't do it, you won't be able to fight the tiger, but you will be eaten by the tiger. In this case, both the tiger and the sick tiger and the tiger who is unable to resist are the best targets. The Sansi Yamen used to be beautiful, but in recent years, it has long since disappeared from the situation of the past. The current Sansi Yamen has offended many people because of the allocation of silver, and everyone has shouted and beaten, this is a sick tiger, if you don't beat it, who else can you beat? ”

Lin Jue suddenly realized. It is true that everything is calculated, and the objects chosen are extremely particular. Although the Sansi Yamen declined, it was one of the three major institutions of the imperial court, nominally alongside the Privy Council. The deterrent effect of bringing down its leader can be imagined. This is indeed a big tiger that is not afraid of its bite and is indeed strong in appearance.

“…… This is only one of them, there is another reason that is destined to take the three divisions of the yamen. The king told you that the goal of Yan Fang's two changes this time is to deal with the affairs of the imperial court's finances and taxes. To put it bluntly, the emperor needs to change the law to find money for the imperial court and increase the revenue of the treasury to meet all kinds of huge and necessary expenses. For so many years, the Sansi Yamen has been the institution in charge of finance and taxation. As the saying goes, if we don't break it, we don't stand upside down, and if we don't turn the three divisions and yamen upside down, how can we establish a new set of means and methods? If the old accounts and mistakes of the three divisions and yamen are not known to the whole world, how can the necessity of reforming the fiscal and taxation system be highlighted? That's why I said that the overthrow of the officials of the three divisions and yamen is not only a prestige, but also the beginning of change. That is to tell everyone how corrupt and backward the original fiscal and taxation system is, and that a new set must be used to replace it. To put it mildly, you want to marry a beautiful woman, but what about the wretched old wife in the family? One is to take a break, and the other is to kill. In short, if she doesn't go, you can't get your wish. Do you understand? ”

A layer of cold sweat oozed from Lin Jue's back. The words of the prince were understated, and the final example was not very appropriate, but the matter was made clear. If you want to break it first, the Sansi Yamen is at the intersection of this change, how to go over if you don't defeat it? If we don't find out a batch of bad debts and moths in the three divisions and yamen, how can we show the correctness of the change? And the group of people in the Sansi Yamen, including Lin Bonian, were not clean, which happened to give them an opportunity. Originally, I might have to pick a bone in the egg, but now I find that this is a rotten egg at all, so it is logical to smash it and throw it away.

"This king wants you to stay out of the matter because this is a storm that cannot be avoided, and Lin Bonian is not immune to this matter. If it can not cause disaster to the Lin family, it will already be a blessing. If you insist on mixing in at the moment, you can only become a victim, and it is also possible to put yourself in it. Don't expect Fang Dunru to be solemn and solemn, they are now riding on the back of a frightened horse, and there is no way to turn back. Everything in front of you will be trampled under the horse's hooves. There was no turning back from the bow, and they had no choice. ”

After a pause, Guo Bing lowered his voice and continued: "This king will tell you another secret, half a month ago, the Liao envoy came to Bianliang and handed over a letter from the new emperor of the Liao State, Yelu Zongyuan. It is said to be a national letter, but in fact it is an ultimatum. The Liao people threaten to tear up the Yanyun Alliance, unless my Great Zhou agrees to increase the annual coin, from 300,000 taels to 1 million taels. In addition, the Liao people were allowed to freely enter and trade in the border cities of the sixteen states of Yanyun without taxation. Ask me to relax the restrictions on the trade of iron weapons and farm tools, etc. The emperor was very angry, thinking that this was extremely disrespectful to my Great Zhou, and decided to veto the request of the Liao people. But this veto means that the border town will start a war. The emperor asked Yang Jun to prepare for the battle, Yang Jun went to the border town to inspect, and returned to the capital a few days ago, the first thing he did was to ask for silver. He said that at least 3 million taels of silver should be allocated to improve the weapons, armor and fortifications of the soldiers and horses in the border towns, and that the imperial court should also do a good job in reconciling the aftermath of the war. Otherwise, the battle will be lost. But where is the silver in the imperial court? The treasury is empty, and daily expenses are stretched thin, not to mention the allocation of 3 million, and at least 2 million taels must be prepared to resettle refugees. But if you don't, you can only agree to the conditions of the Liao. Hey, what do you say about this? Do you think the emperor can not make up his mind to carry out the change? They were all by the Liao people on their necks. How could I have suffered such a wretched spirit in Da Zhou? The emperor is the most face-saving person, he is the one who wants to become the first emperor of the ages, can he stand it? ”

Lin Jue nodded slightly, what he heard today made Lin Jue grow a lot. The big picture will change, perhaps the biggest variable in a century. The storm is clearing, the thunder is coming, and everything is brewing a big explosion. The fate of the individual is indeed insignificant in comparison. Mr. Yan Zhengsu and Mr. Fang are the participants in this change. As Guo Bing said, they have embarked on a road of no return, and they have no time to take care of anything else, so they can only gallop on horseback. Even if there is an abyss in front of them, they can only jump. And Lin Bonian of the Sansi Yamen is just a small tree in front of the horse's hooves, destined to be trampled over.

However, Lin Jue also smelled a glimmer of hope from Guo Bing's words. He seems to have caught something crucial, and this could be the key to rescuing Lin Bonian. It's just that he doesn't have time to think about it at the moment, and he needs to go back and think carefully before deciding.

"Thank you father-in-law for your analysis, so that the son-in-law has a sense of openness. However, the son-in-law still has a question and wants to ask his father-in-law to solve his doubts. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"Anyway, what's the doubt?" Guo Bing saw Lin Jue's attitude change, and he was also relieved. If Lin Jue can figure it out, it would be best not to go on this troubled water, otherwise he will inevitably have to get involved. After all, he is his own son-in-law, and for the sake of Cai Wei, he can't ignore Lin Jue. But if this matter affects the palace, then Lin Jue can only be abandoned.

"Father-in-law, what I don't understand is...... Wu Chunlai released the incriminating evidence of my second uncle that he had, didn't this help Vice Minister Yan and Mr. Fang? Can it be said that Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai actually support change? If they are also supporters of change, and their prestige is sufficient to carry out change, why should they invite Master Yan and my teacher to come to the capital to carry out the change? If they were against it, why did they publish the evidence to help Lord Yan and Mr. Fang bring down the authority of the three divisions? I'm a little confused. Lin Jue asked.

"Hehehe, this king knew you were going to ask. Hehe, this is the cleverness of Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai. Do they support the change? Unless the sun hits the west and comes out. Why they will oppose it, I don't need to tell you in detail. To put it simply, you are in power, you live in a high house, and you live a good life, and suddenly someone comes to disturb you, shares power with you, and cuts off your financial route, will you be willing? If the change is successful, the name of Yan Zheng Su Fang Dunru will be immortal, but what about Lu Zhongtian, the prime minister? Isn't it worthless to be foiled? But their shrewdness lies in the fact that they know how to figure out the mind of the saint, and they know that now that the saint is on the rise, and to oppose it at this time is to be bored with themselves, but to suffer from it. Therefore, they will act in a way that is contrary to the yang and the yin. If you don't object on the surface, you will definitely make trouble behind the scenes. ”

“…… Wu Chunlai's move seemed to be a great favor to Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, but there must be a plan behind his back. You must know that what Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are doing now is a double-edged sword. Although Liwei is Liwei, it has also caused a lot of dissatisfaction. It can be said that once the reform begins, the forces of the DPRK and China will quickly diverge. In the past, some petty mustards were put aside, and in the end, there were only two factions in the DPRK and China, one was for support and the other was against. I dare to assert that the courtiers must have been more opposed than supportive, or was it that reasoning, would they have given up their vested interests? Since it can't be stopped, why not make a bigger fuss and make people and gods angry. So that opportunities can be found. As long as Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru have the slightest fallacy, they will be attacked by the group. You can understand that this is a help, or you can understand that Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai are here to roast Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru on the fire. Those that are not roasted are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and they will not stop. Of course, this is my personal family's words, in fact, Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai's thoughts may be more profound, and the real thoughts are probably only known to them in their hearts. ”
