Of course, Guo Chong has been hit hard this time, especially the betrayal of people around him, which will make him more sensitive. In this case, his behavior may be somewhat uncontrollable. For example, when Guo Chong suspects that there is someone behind the scenes, for Liang Wang Guo Bing's
The attitude will definitely turn colder further, and even greater suspicion and resentment will arise. When this emotion accumulates to a certain level, it will be extremely detrimental to the Liang Palace. Lin Jue is worried that Guo Chong will definitely have
The action he took was to eliminate some people who coveted the throne, because this was not only a hidden worry for him, but also a hidden worry for the person who took the throne. If Guo Chong is determined to make the throne stable and not fall into the hands of others, he must do it for his descendants.
Future generations will eradicate threats. Thinking from his perspective, Lin Jue believed that he would definitely do the same if he were in Guo Chong's position.
But this matter has no solution for the time being, and it is impossible for Guo Bing to explain it to Guo Chong. In fact, the explanation is useless. In this kind of matter, the more explanations, the more doubtful it is. Just like in the fable
As I said, once you suspect that your neighbor has stolen your axe, you will think that he eats, walks, and talks like a thief. This is a psychological view that cannot be changed easily. What's more, Liang Wang Guo Bing is not an innocent person.
If the initiator of that incident, someone with a guilty conscience, explains the incident, it will reveal more doubts.
Compared with all the above things, the disclosure of Lu Wu's identity seems not that important. Lu Wu himself doesn't care whether it is public or not. He is not complacent because he is the emperor's son-in-law. Lin Jue has already seen it clearly.
, in the political ecology of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even royal status is just a halo of vanity, which is not enough to guarantee you peace of mind. In the declining imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the strong have a foothold, not your status.
If you cannot rely on your skills and ability to gain a foothold, no matter how noble your status is, you will only be a marginalized person. Even your status as a royal family will make you a target for attack. Judging from my own personal experience and the experience of Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and others
, all rose to power by virtue of their ability and skill, and relied on the spread of deep-rooted power to take root in the court. On the contrary, as a prince, Guo Bing had very little influence in the court, and was even repeatedly criticized by Lu Zhongtian and others. This is
Clear evidence.
In view of the above understanding, Lin Jue believes that he still needs to do more. It is impossible for Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and others to have a coexisting relationship with him. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will still attack their weaknesses until he pulls them away.
Get off your horse. Lin Jue doesn't want to be a person who is seeking fame and reputation, and he will never be kind to women. Being kind to them is cruelty to himself. They will continue to cause troubles and threats to themselves, so
There is no need to be polite to them. Next, Lin Jue will make a fuss about Guo Hao's death. Lin Jue has already thought about the direction of entry, and it depends on whether he can find the exact clues.
Time flies, and more than twenty days have passed. March is coming to an end, and spring is getting stronger. Flowers are blooming all over the capital, and the young leaves of the trees have begun to sway in the spring sun.
The past twenty days have been relatively peaceful. After some chaos, both the court and the harem showed a post-climax fatigue. Lu Zhongtian and others may be preparing for the next wave of attacks, so they are holding back for the time being.
harem
There were no major changes. As Concubine Rong was thrown into the cold palace, the situation gradually slowed down. Guo Chong seemed to have forgotten that he was determined to kill Concubine Rong, and his attitude seemed to be softening.
Those who know the inside story will naturally understand that Guo Chong was invited to speak by the Queen Mother Wei one evening. The mother and son stayed in the room and talked for a long time. When Guo Chong came out, his face was calm and smiling. Interested people speculated
The result of this meeting and discussion must be that the Empress Dowager Wei and the Emperor reached some kind of compromise. This compromise may have been at the expense of Concubine Rong's life. It is unknown what the exchange was for. Perhaps the exchange was for the Empress Dowager Wei to return to the throne from now on.
She could not dictate matters in the palace and court, or put pressure on Guo Chong. Perhaps in exchange, the Queen Mother Wei could no longer use her love and care for the emperor as a bargaining chip to kidnap Guo Chong's feelings again and again. In short, since then,
After the conversation, Concubine Rong's situation eased a lot. Originally she was not allowed to leave Changchun Pavilion, but now she was seen walking along the flower path near Changchun Pavilion accompanied by the chambermaid.
The ban on visiting Concubine Rong was also broken after the mother-son secret conversation. Lu Wu was allowed to visit Concubine Rong once on March 26. Although this visit was short and somewhat embarrassing, according to Lu Wu
Judging from the feedback, Concubine Rong’s residence is already in a separate compartment, and the furnishings in the room are also decent. Several female officials who were originally serving as personal attendants in Rongxiu Palace are also around. When accompanying Concubine Rong to eat, the standard of the food is
It is also the standard of five dishes and one soup. This is already close to the original standard of the imperial concubine.
After knowing these situations, Lin Jue also breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from various situations, Guo Chong's anger towards Concubine Rong has slowly subsided. Although Concubine Rong will never be able to return to her original status, and there will no longer be the possibility of being favored by Guo Chong.
.But Concubine Rong can live, which is a good thing for Lu Wu and the whole situation. Lu Wu does not need to fall into depression and self-blame because of the death of his biological mother. The whole thing is also developing in peace. This
This is the principle advocated by Lin Jue for dealing with big issues and minimizing them. Guo Chong still has a big mind. It would be difficult for anyone to let go of this matter, but he still did it. As an era where male supremacy
As an emperor, this is obviously not easy.
The calm situation also allowed Lin Jue to devote a lot of energy to the affairs of Sansi Yamen. Sansi Yamen should be the busiest yamen in Dazhou. The complexity of money and tax matters is beyond people's imagination, let alone
Now there is a more complicated matter, which is the establishment of the aftermath department to deal with the aftermath of the new law that has been suspended before.
This matter was extremely important, and Lin Jue had to personally supervise it. On the one hand, Lin Jue wanted to deal with the aftermath of what his mentor and Yan Zhengshen had left behind. In order to prevent the two mentors from being insulted and slandered by the people after their death, he had to do a good job.
This incident left the people with no complaints. On the other hand, Lin Jue also wanted to take this opportunity to retain some of the essence of the new law and use the opportunity to deal with the aftermath to preserve some of the provisions in the new law that were truly beneficial to the people and the country. Although he could not
Call it a new law again, but it obviously makes sense.
The actual disposal process can be described as extremely difficult. It involves the collection of some previous official loan banks, the redistribution of land, and the transfer of exemption money and service aid money.
Entanglements. Even though Lin Jue had tried his best to tilt the balance in favor of the people, many entanglements still inevitably arose. Lin Jue even exempted many people from paying the interest on government loans that should have been paid in full. After all, although the new law was stopped, the government loans had not been paid before.
The silver was still handled in accordance with the rules of the new law. Many people delayed it for a long time, and the interest rates were astonishingly high. Lin Jue waived all the money, including principal and interest, and only asked for the principal to be recovered, but this still aroused dissatisfaction among many people. They
I even think that the principal and interest of this money should be waived.
Lin Jue's move to exempt interest was already taking a huge risk, acting with the power of the Third Secretary, and would obviously reduce the total amount of money and taxes this year. There was a lot of criticism in the court. But these people did not appreciate it.
He also had to waive the principal, and Lin Jue also received a lot of scolding. This was simply not a human inside and out, and he was getting angry from both sides. Lin Jue understood more and more deeply the difficulty of governing a country. The bigger the country, the more people, and the more ideas there are.
, the more difficult it becomes for everyone to reconcile. Everything will be praised and insulted. From this, Lin Jue finally realized the reason why Mr. Yan and Mr. Yan insisted on their own opinions and were not moved by outsiders. The more I thought about these two adults.
Lin Jue had a deeper understanding of them and admired them more. The two adults had a clear understanding of the world. It was precisely because they understood the people of the world so well that they would stick to their own ideas and not do anything for them.
Outsiders were moved. Perhaps it was because they understood the difficulty of governing the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was difficult to reconcile the opinions of others.
Lin Jue remembered that once when he was chatting with Fang Dunru, he had intentionally or unintentionally talked to his husband about a framework for governing the country. It was the so-called democratic system of one person, one vote, and the template was what Lin Jue knew on earth.
The political template implemented by some Western countries is the so-called Mingzhu system. At that time, Lin Jue was still studying at Songshan Academy and had no big ideas about governing the country. The reason why he said this was just to cater to Mr. He.
The topic of conversation, with a little naughtiness. He wanted to know how his husband would react when he knew that there was such a system in the world.
Fang Dunru's reaction was very real. After hearing what Lin Jue said, Fang Dunru was shocked at first, and then fell into deep thought. He did not scold Lin Jue for his treason with a straight face. The so-called vote to elect the emperor was a treasonous statement.
, but Fang Dunru did not use this point to reprimand Lin Jue. After thinking for a long time, Fang Dunru told Lin Jue that the so-called Mingzhu system he proposed was absolutely impossible to realize in a country like Zhou Dynasty.
There are too many people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, their hearts are too mixed, and they have too many ideas. If Lin Jue's ideas are followed, it will be a great chaos. A country like the Great Zhou Dynasty can only exist in a centralized situation. This
It is related to the nature, tradition and culture of the people of the Zhou Dynasty. Without strong centralization constraints, they will fall apart. In history, whenever there is an opportunity to establish oneself as a king, without exception, he will raise an army. The Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the chaos in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the chaos after the Tang Dynasty
This is the case with chaos and chaos. Although the people in this land are hard-working and smart, they are also ill-intentioned and have obvious bad roots. Unless everyone is public-spirited, knows the book and is courteous, and has both talents and virtues, it is possible for Lin Lin to appear.
It is possible to elect an emperor as Jue said. Otherwise, it will be a mess, and the people of this land will suffer.
