Guo Kun smacked his lips and nodded: "I can't help you with these matters. Recently... Privy Councilor Yang has made trouble for me in many ways and restricted my power to mobilize troops. Tonight, your junior sister came to ask for help. I have already mobilized troops privately."
It will be a lot of trouble to turn back. I don't care, but my father asked me not to offend Privy Yang. Those rumors last time made my father very uneasy. He has been very low-key recently and it is not appropriate to say too much in front of the emperor. So the court said
You can only rely on yourself."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "I understand. Brother, you should think carefully about the current situation with your father-in-law. Although the last rumor was a rumor, the emperor must also have a grudge in his heart. It is wise to keep a low profile at the moment. But for Yang Jun and his ilk,
You cannot compromise. You are the deputy commander of the Guard Infantry Division, and you have the right to mobilize troops. As a privy envoy, Yang Jun cannot restrict your power unless he dismisses you. You cannot compromise on this point. You
There is no need to speak out, but you must support me with practical actions at any time, just like what you did today. I know that you are not only trying to save Caiwei, but you are also concerned about my safety. My father-in-law can hide his capabilities and bide his time, but you don’t have to. Da Zhou
It’s your Guo family. It’s not appropriate for you to shrink your heads and let others dictate. Sometimes, in a chaotic situation, you must show your ability and responsibility. This will increase your weight and reputation in the hearts of the people in the world. No one can
You don’t want to live a lifetime of mediocrity, don’t you?”
Guo Kun was stunned and confused. Lin Jue's words seemed to have something to say, but he didn't seem to say anything. But the underlying meaning of his words was actually to express dissatisfaction with their father and son's recent low-key behavior. Think about it.
Also, when Concubine Rong's case came out, Prince Liang was scared to death and didn't know what to do. But the case was finally temporarily calmed down in the most subtle way, which even Prince Liang found incredible. Afterwards, he praised Lin Jue
It was handled properly and the strategy was superb. However, the person who succeeded was the only one who was able to withstand the storm, so the people who benefited were unable to get out. This is indeed unreasonable.
"Brother, don't think too much. I'm just talking. But now I need my brother's help. You should order an immediate search of the mountain to capture the escaped thieves. You come in from the entrance of the valley. They must not dare to exit from the entrance of the valley. They must go to other places.
So we still have a chance to catch them alive. If we catch them, we can immediately remove their jaws and take out the poison sacs in their mouths to prevent them from committing suicide. Maybe we can’t tell anything, but in case
After asking for a confession? It will be easier to do things." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I should have done this a long time ago. Come here, pass on my order. General Sun and General Chen will each lead 500 troops to search the entire Xishan Mountain and capture the thief. Search carefully for me, and don't let anyone go.
At the right place." Guo Kun immediately ordered.
The imperial army was ordered to leave. Lin Jue nodded. In fact, he didn't have much hope in catching these thieves. Not to mention the difficulty of searching for people in the mountains, this group of people were prepared to die and caught them.
There was no time to stop them from committing suicide. And even if the poison sacs were taken from their mouths, they might not be able to confess. The reason why these people were selected must be some dead soldiers. The people behind them would never commit such negligence.
But the reason why Lin Jue asked Guo Kun to search was because he didn't want the remaining thieves to live. Even if he forced them to bite the poison sac and commit suicide, it would still cost them their lives. One more of these people died because of the war.
The nursing home who died is one more revenge. That's all.
Everyone organized and prepared,
They began to go down the mountain slowly. The bodies of the guards who died in the battle were also carried down the mountain by the Forbidden Army soldiers. The Lin family's carriages and horses were still in the woods in the valley, and they did not suffer much damage. The bodies of several servants were also carried
When they came out, dozens of corpses were loaded into five carts. The vehicles were limited. Except for Xie Yingying and the tired Fang Huanqiu who shared a carriage, the others could only ride horses. Those who could not ride horses could only follow. Lin
Jue rode a horse with the sleeping Lin Zhan on his back. Those who were seriously injured were also pulled by horses. The group walked in embarrassment for two hours. At dawn, the tired people finally saw the tall outline of the capital in the dim sky.
.
When entering the city, the car full of corpses shocked the soldiers at the city gate. Lin Jue did not hide anything and told the city gate guard about the attack. Soon, the news came that Mr. Lin and his family were attacked by thieves in Cuigu Valley, Xishan.
It started to spread. This is also the most explosive news in recent months.
Lin Jue did not return home and ordered people to escort everyone back to the home. He went directly to the palace under the protection of more than a dozen guards. He wanted to tell Guo Chong the news after he woke up. Someone had to let someone know about this.
These people paid a devastating price, and Lin Jue wanted to take this opportunity to complete the final blow.
Guo Chong hasn't gotten up yet. I don't know whether it's because of the proper medication or the warmer weather, but his condition is getting better day by day. He used to be out of breath when walking, but now he can walk in the garden morning and night.
I have practiced boxing and kicking a few times.
When I was young, I didn't take health seriously, thinking it was a matter of course. But when I get older, or even after getting seriously ill, I realize how precious health is. When I was young, I could wave my hands and say big words without any shame.
He says that he is not afraid of life and death, but that is because he has a lot of time to waste, and death is still far away. Once you reach Guo Chong's age, you know your destiny and cherish your life, every day is precious. What's more,
His identity was the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he was unwilling to give up his life of ruling the world. That was an unimaginable time for him.
Therefore, the improvement of his condition is tantamount to a new life for Guo Chong. He cherishes his health even more. Every day he eats simple meals, vegetables and tofu, and unknowingly thinks that the emperor takes the lead and sets an example of frugality - of course he is not a luxurious person.
——But in fact, he did this according to the advice of health practitioners. A light diet is good for health. Moreover, Guo Chong also began to abstain from sexual intercourse. The young and beautiful concubines in the harem would never have the chance to be summoned by him to the Yanhe Hall to serve him.
Guo Chong believes that although life requires enjoyment, without life, the possibility of any kind of enjoyment is lost. For people with Guo Chong's status, women are no longer the goal, but power. Enjoy the feeling of being an emperor.
, is far more interesting than enjoying women. If sacrificing the joy of being a queen can extend the time of holding power, then why not do it.
Lin Jue rushed into the Yanhe Hall with a fierce aura. Even the palace guards who were guarding the door tried to stop him, but Lin Jue stared at him and shouted back. The guards did not dare to offend Lin Jue. Lin Jue has been a famous person in the court recently, coming in and out of the palace.
It's just like a common occurrence. Moreover, he has another identity, that is, the emperor's son-in-law. Although it has not been made public, it is almost an open secret in the court. Sometimes, in some places, Lin Jue, as the third envoy, can
was blocked, but as the consort Lin Jue, he was able to get through unimpeded.
Outside the palace door, several chamberlains were standing at the door chatting. When they saw Lin Jue
Covered in dust and dirt, he rushed over and was startled. A chamberlain named Xiao Dengzi came forward and said with a smile: "Why are you here, Mr. Lin, so early in the morning? The genius has just dawned. Why is it like this?"
morning?"
"Please, father-in-law, please come in and tell the emperor that Lin Jue has something to ask for." Lin Jue cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, it will take half an hour for Your Majesty to get up. Your Majesty now gets up at the same time. He doesn't get up until three quarters past three o'clock. It won't work a moment longer, and it won't work a moment earlier. Mr. Lin, why don't you drink some tea and wait?" Xiao Dengzi
He cupped his hands and smiled.
"We can't wait any longer. We must see the emperor immediately." Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "You guys don't understand. I'll go in by myself."
"Hey, Master Lin, don't you understand the rules in the palace? What's the point of breaking into the palace? Master Lin, just wait a moment. Think about us. The emperor is angry, but you, Master Lin, are fine.
We will be in trouble." Xiao Dengzi hurriedly stopped Lin Jue who was about to rush in.
Lin Jue had no time to chat with these people and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lin Jue has something to ask for. Please get up, Your Majesty."
Several of the chamberlains had grimaces and were embarrassed. Lin Jue shouted several times and called out Qian Delu, who was serving inside. Qian Delu thought the chamberlains were making noise, so he yelled at them before they even reached the door.
Got up.
"Are you all full and full? Are you mourning? The emperor hasn't woken up yet. When he got angry, he would skin and cramp all of you one by one and throw them into the lotus pond like a mangy dog."
Several chamberlains hurriedly said: "Eunuch Qian, it's not us, it's Mr. Lin who is shouting. We can't stop it."
Qian Delu's figure appeared at the door. When he saw Lin Jue standing there with a sullen look on his face, he was startled and said hurriedly: "Oh, what's going on? Why is Master Lin looking like this?"
Why are you here so early?"
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Eunuch Qian, please report to the emperor immediately that I have something important to report. To be honest with you, Eunuch Qian said, it is a blessing that I can enter the palace alive today. I was almost killed by the sword. I died."
There is no burial place."
Qian Delu was even more shocked. Just as he was about to ask for details, he saw Lin Jue shouting again.
"I, Lin Jue, would like to see the emperor. Please get up and meet me. Please report something important."
Qian Delu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't scream, don't scream. I'll wake up the emperor for you. If you wake up the emperor, the emperor will lose his temper. Ouch, what's going on?"
After Qian Delu entered, Lin Jue frowned and paced back and forth at the door. Xiao Dengzi and other servants stared at Lin Jue's wrinkled and dirty clothes and pointed.
There were several big cuts, as if they had been chopped by a knife. It looked like something dangerous had happened. But I didn’t know what it was. I wanted to ask, but I didn’t dare. I just looked at him and mumbled.
Whispering in low voices.
Soon after, Qian Delu hurried out and whispered: "The emperor is awake. Mr. Lin, please go in."
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."
Qian Delu said: "Master Lin, don't you want to change your clothes?"
Lin Jue stared and said, "I just want the emperor to see these."
Qian Delu shook his head, said no more, and led Lin Jue to the palace.
