Lin Boyong was silent and hesitant. In the past few years, he also reflected on his original behavior and regretted his actions when he was the head of the family. After Lin Jue became the head of the family, he took a series of measures to reverse the direction of the Lin family. Beginning
He still thought that these things were nothing, but when he saw that everyone in the Lin family was liberated from high pressure, their lives were getting better and better, and their relationship became more harmonious and closer, Lin Boyong realized that Lin Jue had done the right thing. He had done the right thing.
He and Lin Jue often exchanged letters, and Lin Jue also gave a lot of opinions on family matters. In the past few years, major family matters were actually decided based on Lin Jue's opinions. Lin Boyong was glad that the third room of the Lin family had a baby.
Talent, otherwise I don’t know what the Lin family would be like. When Lin Ke committed suicide with bandits, Lin Boyong had some hatred for Lin Jue in his heart, but after so many years, Lin Jue’s actions proved that he was not avenging private revenge. Lin Boyong
The barriers in his heart gradually disappeared. Now that Lin Jue wants to return the head of the family to him, Lin Boyong is really unwilling. But the reason Lin Jue said is also very straightforward. He wants to do big things wholeheartedly, and things at home are really difficult.
Got interested.
The young prince Guo Kun suddenly laughed and said: "Lin Shibo, just promise Lin Jue. I want to rely on him to do big things, so Uncle Shi should worry more about the Lin family's affairs. A person's energy is limited, and I want to bring order to the chaos and defeat the traitors.
, then there will be too many things for Lin Jue to do, so please bear with me. In the future, if this king succeeds in something big, you and the Lin family will be indispensable."
Lin Boyong sighed, cupped his hands and said: "The young prince said this, I'd rather obey my orders than to be respectful. For important matters, my Lin family can make any compromise. Lin Jue, we have agreed, my uncle is old and he won't live for a few more years."
In the future, you will still need to take charge of the important affairs of the Lin family. No one is qualified to be the head of the family except you. If you want to do important things with the prince, I will temporarily take over the position of the head of the family. It is only temporary, and it is not because of any dereliction of duty on your part.
"
Lin Jue laughed and said: "That's natural. Thank you uncle. Please drink this cup."
Lin Boyong raised his glass and drank it. Lin Jue also drank the wine. He put down the wine cup and took off the ring that symbolized the identity of the head of the Lin family from his hand and held it up with both hands. Lin Boyong looked at the ring and was filled with emotions. At first, the ring was
The scene of taking it away came to mind, and when I recalled what happened back then, it felt like I was in another world. The Lin family originally had many conflicts, but now it is back in my hands, and all the conflicts in the Lin family have been completely eliminated. This is exactly what happened.
It was the most gratifying thing for him.
Everyone applauded. Lin Jue also smiled and felt relieved. It was better for Lin Boyong to take care of the Lin family's affairs. He had completed his mission, so there was no need to worry about the Lin family's affairs. Lin Jue, the head of the family, had nothing to do with it.
Nostalgic.
"Come, come, uncles and brothers, don't be restrained. You can eat and drink as you like tonight. You won't be drunk until you get drunk." Lin Jue laughed loudly.
The crowd roared with joy, and for a while they drank and drank, making it very lively.
…
In various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the new emperor's enthronement was not grand. On the one hand, it was obvious that some people wanted to deliberately keep a low profile. On the other hand, after the death of the emperor, the queen, the queen, and the prince, there could not be any celebrations during the national mourning period. There was silence everywhere in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Among them, he accepted the fact that the new emperor ascended the throne and the Yuan Dynasty changed.
But in fact, under this calm appearance, rumors are spreading everywhere like a plague. About the palace
The chaos, the cause of death of the Emperor, the Empress, the Empress and the Prince, and the fighting and turmoil that filled the capital that night cannot be easily concealed.
On the second day after the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial court issued an edict, explaining what happened in the name of the imperial court. After all, people like the emperor, prince, and queen died overnight, and it was impossible to conceal the past. Of course, the content of the edict was
Lies spun when he ascended the throne. The edict passed all responsibilities onto Liang Wang Guo Bing, his son and Lin Jue, and attributed the whole incident to Liang Wang and his son and Lin Jue launching a coup to kill the emperor, crown prince, queen mother, queen and others. In Guo Xu
Under the leadership of the emperor and with the assistance of virtuous ministers such as Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun, the imperial court foiled their conspiracy. Before the emperor died, he passed a message to Guo Xu. This was the whole process that turned the entire Zhou Dynasty upside down overnight.
This explanation must be said to be very thorough. It is possible for Prince Liang and his son to usurp the throne. After all, they are also direct descendants of the late emperor and have the capital to compete for the throne. It is not without credibility that they took risks. Lin Jue was also involved.
This is really a pity. Among the scholar-bureaucrats of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lin Jue was not only a leader in poetry, but also a person who was highly respected by everyone. The Great Zhou Dynasty produced a young man who was capable of both literary and military skills, which is recognized by everyone.
Facts. I didn’t expect that this person would actually participate in the usurpation of the throne. It is really surprising. But in fact, the logic of Lin Jue’s participation is also reasonable, because he is the son-in-law of the Liang Palace, and his father-in-law and brother-in-law usurped the throne. Is there any reason for him not to participate?
However, despite the court's explanation, different versions of the rumors were still spreading quietly in private. Of course, under the government's strict surveillance and suppression, the rumors stopped underground, and there was no large-scale discussion, so the impact was limited.
Early in the morning of August 9th, the major state capitals in the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed like Pandora's boxes that had been opened. An explosive news quickly swept through the major state capitals. Before the government took action to control the situation, the news had spread to everyone.
Just that morning, a proclamation and an announcement were posted almost simultaneously on Dazhou 15th Road, the busiest street in Baizhou Prefecture. The announcement explained in detail the causes, consequences and process of the palace coup, and it was written in detail and rigorously.
The memorial was even more majestic and heartfelt, informing everyone that Guo Kun, the crown prince of Liang, had proclaimed himself King of Bianliang, and together with Lin Jue raised the banner of rebellion at Funiu Mountain, aiming to avenge the late emperor and eradicate the usurpation of the throne and the murder of his father.
Guo Xu, who killed his brother and bloodbathed the inner palace.
Over time, another version of the inside story of that day's drastic change that the imperial court tried so hard to conceal came to light.
The shock of the people can be imagined. In the Zhou Dynasty and even in the previous dynasties, there was no dynasty that did not respect Confucianism and Taoism, and did not regard loyalty, filial piety, and justice as virtues. However, if Guo Xu really did as much as what the notice said
If he is inferior to animals, what else is there to support for the emperor sitting on the throne at this moment? Even the common people who care least about the affairs of the court have the simplest understanding, and they also stick to those bottom lines, that is
The simplest and most basic bottom line. Guo Xu broke all of these bottom lines.
A person who killed his brother and father, a person who killed his grandmother and his nominal queen mother, how different is he from an animal? He is a shameless person who is unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial. How does he have the right to be respected by all people?
The vast majority of people are in a state of confusion. They don't know whether to believe the current court or the news they have received at this moment. Except
In addition, people are divided into two groups. One group firmly believes that the current emperor Guo Xu will not do such a beast. Who would kill his father and brother and wash away the harem with blood? Then Huai Wang Guo Xu has no reputation, how could he do this?
When this happens, it must be the rebels from Funiu Mountain who are biting back and confusing the public. The other group of people are convinced of the news posted in Luoyan Valley in Funiu Mountain. This is because they compare the imperial edict with the announcement and memorandum published by Funiu Mountain.
, people will find that Funiu Mountain's announcement is more detailed and the details are more reasonable. The imperial edict is unclear, and it seems to be forcing the results on others. There are no details to support it. Moreover, anyone with a little common sense understands that the imperial edict
The cruelty of the chaos is unimaginable. In the fight for the throne, nothing unexpected happens.
Public opinion is agitated, and there is no consensus. Some people choose to remain silent because it does not concern themselves. Some people are worried because they know that the world is about to be in chaos and war is about to begin. Some people scolded Guo Bing and his son and Lin Jue.
The treasonous people wanted to rebel. Some people quietly packed their bags and headed to Funiu Mountain. Some green forest heroes were enemies of the imperial court. When the opportunity came, they all became interested and decided to defect. There were also some people with lofty ideals who believed in the announcement issued by Funiu Mountain.
It was a fact. He refused to surrender to Guo Xu anymore and decided to defect to him.
For a time, the hearts of people all over the Great Zhou Dynasty were in turmoil, and everyone was panicked and confused. Small groups of people from all over the country rushed from all directions on the Great Zhou Dynasty to Luoyan Valley in Funiu Mountain.
On the ninth day of August, more than a dozen slogans and notices were posted at the intersection of major markets in the capital, and the whole capital was in a state of excitement. Although the Imperial City's soldiers and horses quickly arrived and tore down the notices, the news was inevitable.
The news spread throughout the city. The notice posted in the morning when the crowd was at its peak reached a huge audience. Even with the rapid action of the Imperial City Division's soldiers and horses, it was still not possible to prevent this from happening.
The news soon spread to the palace. Guo Xu, who had just left the morning court, was changing clothes and interrupted to go to the back garden to play. He heard that the lotus in the lotus pond in the back garden was in full bloom, so he wanted to take Xinxuan with him
Several concubines went to have fun. During this period, Guo Xu was actually exhausted. Although he had won the throne, he still felt guilty. After what he had done, he felt a kind of condemnation in everyone's eyes.
It means. Besides, it is difficult for him to be calm in his heart. After all, he has done the most unethical thing in the world.
Regarding Guo Chong's state funeral, perhaps in order to make up for his inner panic and shame, Guo Xu made a big show of it and made Guo Chong's state funeral as grand as a state funeral. He accompanied Guo Chong throughout the process.
The coffin was covered with silk and weeping in the dark. Those who didn't know thought that Guo Chong was really sad for the death of the late emperor, but in fact, Guo Chong did this just to give an explanation to his heart. He wanted to use these extravagant actions and exaggerated and false actions
To cover up the fact that he is treasonous, to gain his own peace of mind and to hope that others can be deceived.
Of course, all this is a farce in the eyes of insiders. Although Yang Jun, Lu Zhongtian, Zhao Yuankang and others did not speak, there was deep contempt in their eyes.
Guo Chong knew that his first priority was to stabilize the situation and secure his position. So he issued an edict, pardoned prisoners, promoted officials, repealed new laws, and made a series of major actions in the hope that officials and people would buy into it.
In a very short period of time, people realized that the world had changed and a new dynasty had changed.
