"Master Lin, I don't know what you think about the emperor's proposal. It's really enviable that the emperor treats Master Lin like this." Bai Qi said with a smile.
Lin Jue chuckled and said, "Has General Bai also read this letter?"
Bai Qi nodded and said: "The emperor showed it to me after he finished writing it. I naturally know the content."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Your Majesty does not regard General Bai as an outsider."
Bai Qi said: "The emperor is sincere to his ministers, and naturally he doesn't hide anything from me. Lord Lin, the emperor loves you so much, what do you say, Lord Lin?"
Lin Jue sighed: "The emperor is so benevolent and righteous, I seem to be embarrassed not to agree. The conditions given by the emperor are also very generous. He asked me to go back and preside over the reform. This is the last wish of the late master. It would be great if I could inherit the last wish of the late master."
It’s a matter.”
Bai Qi's eyes shone, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded and said, "Yes, the reform has revitalized the country. The emperor has reused Mr. Lin. The king and his ministers are united, and the country is rich and the army is strong. What a good thing it is. Not only that, although the emperor did not mention it in the letter,
It was written clearly, but he told me. The emperor said that Mr. Lin's talent is the one who can stabilize the country and help the emperor to rule the world. The emperor intends to make you the prime minister. Mr. Lu is old and is unable to do many things.
The emperor means that you should replace Prime Minister Lu. The emperor also said that Mr. Lin has the talent to lead the army. He can not only be the prime minister but also the privy council. If Mr. Lin can hold the post of prime minister and privy council, it will be the best since the founding of our country.
He is the number one among the ministers. Mr. Lin can display his talents and achieve great things. His name will be remembered in history and his reputation will last forever."
Lin Jue laughed loudly and thought to himself: You don't need money to brag anyway, so why don't you say that the emperor will give up his throne to me as the emperor? Do you think I'm crazy? Will you be fooled by such a childish lie?
Words to coax?
"General Bai, I'm embarrassed by what you said. This... I just want to ask, what does Guo Xu want me to do? If I agree to the request, what should our Funiu Mountain and Luoyan Valley soldiers and civilians do?" Lin Juexiao
road.
Bai Qi said: "Didn't the emperor's letter say that? Let bygones be bygones. All the past events have been wiped out. These people under you can be given official positions and used by the court. The people here will still live and work in peace and contentment here, and it will not be affected. However,
…”
Lin Jue smiled and said: "But what?"
Bai Qi looked at Lin Jue and said, "But Master Lin must do one thing."
Lin Jue looked at Bai Qi and smiled. Bai Qi felt terrified when Lin Jue saw him, and said hurriedly: "Master Lin, don't worry, this matter is easy."
Lin Jue said: "I know. Let me guess what it is. Hmm... Do you want me to take Prince Liang and the young prince and his son and send them to the emperor for punishment?"
Bai Qi said in shock: "How do you know?"
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "The reason is very simple. The only ones who are qualified to compete with Guo Xu for the throne are Prince Liang and the Young Prince. If these two people are not removed, can we allow them to establish another court? These two people have no
If it is over, no one can compete with Guo Xu for the throne, because no one is qualified."
Bai Qi smacked his lips and said: "Although it is said straightforwardly, it is true
This is indeed the truth. My understanding is that after all, you are turning against the flag. It is known to the whole world that the prince and his son are the leaders. For the sake of the emperor's majesty and the court's laws, a gesture must be made. Otherwise, how can the emperor's face be saved? But Mr. Lin
Don't worry, the emperor has said that he will never kill Prince Liang and his son. For your sake, he will not kill them either. He will only imprison them and let them think about their mistakes. Their lives can definitely be saved, and they will
Treat them well. It’s just that you won’t have too much freedom of movement, but the food and clothing will still be treated like a royal prince.”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "This is truly a great favor from the Emperor. This condition is really generous."
Bai Qi said: "Isn't it? It's very difficult for the emperor to do this. Mr. Lin, the reason why I want to talk to you alone is because of this condition. Prince Liang and the young prince are definitely not willing.
So I can only talk to you. If you agree to this matter, you can immediately take action and arrest the prince and his son and send them to the foot of the mountain to express your sincerity. The rest of the things will be much easier to handle."
Lin Jue nodded and praised: "What a good idea. What a good idea. I gave Prince Liang and Little Prince to Guo Xu. Then Guo Xu immediately killed their father and son. But I, Lin Jue, got a reputation of being unkind and unjust.
Without the young prince as its leader, our Luoyan Army has really become a rebel force rather than a righteous army that crusade against usurping and treasonous people. If I do this, there will be dissatisfaction within Luoyan Valley, and then you will take advantage of the situation to attack.
We will catch them all in one fell swoop and slaughter all the 100,000 soldiers and civilians of our Luoyan Army. What a great idea, who came up with this plan? This is so brilliant, I admire you, I admire you so much."
Bai Qi said in astonishment: "Why would Mr. Lin think so? The emperor's letter already made it very clear..."
Lin Jue stood up and said coldly: "General Bai, go back and tell Guo Xu not to use such tricks anymore. If he has the ability, he will attack. We see the truth on the battlefield, so why bother to try so many tricks? He
I don’t believe a word of what he said. A man who killed his brother, his father and the Queen Mother, do you think he would spare Prince Liang and the young prince? Isn’t this a big joke? It’s even more nonsense to talk about restarting the new law. If he
With this awareness, Mr. Yan Fang will not die. What do you mean by asking me to be a prime minister and a privy council? This is even more of a joke. Even if he wants me to be the emperor, I will not cooperate with him or sacrifice my life for him.
, there is no need to ruin my reputation. You tell Guo Xu that if he really cares about the country and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will withdraw his troops immediately to prevent the general’s salary and supplies from being wasted in Funiu Mountain. You, General Bai, are also sensible.
The supply of troops, horses, and materials will be affected. If Guo Xu wants to secure his throne as emperor, he must stop his efforts as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Liao people or other barbarians will invade and destroy the great rivers and mountains, and his emperor will come to an end. As for us and him
There is nothing to say about what happened between them. In the end, blood debts must be paid with blood. But as long as he retreats, I will not go out to fight within half a year. If he is riding a tiger and has trouble getting down, I will give him this step. He can't get down.
, that is his business. If he thinks that the soldiers and horses in the valley can defeat me in Luoyan Valley, then let him try. I have countless ways to deal with him. I can discipline him with a mighty army of hundreds of thousands.
Come on, not many people walked out alive in the end. Lin was from Wuxu
If you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see.”
Bai Qi stared at Lin Jue with his mouth agape, and said for a long time: "Master Lin, what are you doing? Since you care about the country and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty and are loyal to the court, why do you do this? Is it really that important who becomes the emperor?"
Lin Jue shouted: "Nonsense, of course it is important. A benevolent person will win the world, and the world will benefit. A tyrant will win the world, and the world will suffer. Don't you understand such a simple truth? Besides, Mr. Lin is not loyal to someone. If you insist
If you want to say who I am loyal to, I can tell you that I, Lin Jue, am loyal to the people of the world, the common people. I am only loyal to them, and I will not be loyal to anyone else. Do you understand?"
Bai Qi frowned and said, "I...I still don't quite understand."
Lin Jue stood up and said: "You don't need to understand that a person like you is just a fool. I respect you for leading the army to fight against foreigners in the border towns and for your contribution to protecting the people of Zhou Dynasty, so I don't want to be rude to you. I'll say it all.
So, please go back. We will be enemies next time we meet. Let me give you a piece of advice. Immediately advise Guo Xu to withdraw his troops. Think about the war in the past few days and Zhao Yuankang's fate. Don't be stubborn. Come here! Send.
guest!"
Before Bai Qi could say anything more, two personal guards opened the curtain and came in, as if asking you to leave. Bai Qi sighed, handed over his hands and said goodbye: "That's it, Mr. Lin, in that case, Bai is leaving. Mr. Lin still
Think carefully and don't miss this great opportunity to change your ways."
Lin Jue shouted: "General Bai, if you are nagging again, don't blame me for not knowing etiquette. When two armies are fighting, it is not necessarily impossible to kill the envoy. I don't have this rule in the Luoyan Army."
Bai Qi quickly shut up and walked out quickly. He led the few people who came with him down the mountain in despair.
Bai Qi left, Ma Bin and others stared at Lin Jue, wanting to know what this guy said to Lin Jue. Lin Jue knew what they were thinking, but didn't want to tell them. It would be troublesome to talk about such things.
There are many people talking, and there may be rumors. There is a powerful enemy in front of us, so there is no need to do anything unnecessary.
However, I have to tell Guo Kun about this matter to show respect. The last thing Lin Jue wants to see is suspicion and resentment between him and Guo Kun. Although it seems that Guo Kun has changed a lot now and is completely different from before.
We are human beings, but there are still many things that cannot be taken lightly. We must be honest and deal with them to eliminate any possible rifts.
After returning to Dam House, Lin Jue immediately went to find Guo Kun and told him the matter without any secret. After hearing this, Guo Kun burst out laughing and said to Lin Jue: "Brother-in-law, you don't actually need to tell me. I
There will never be any doubt about what deals you have reached with others. If you were willing to do this, you would not be in today's situation long ago. If you and I still have to worry about these things, wouldn't it be frustrating?
I will not believe any rumors about you here, and I hope you can think the same about me."
Coming back from Guo Kun's house, Lin Jue sighed deeply. Guo Kun is becoming more and more magnanimous and calm. I hope he can keep it up and maintain a awake and enterprising spirit. Maybe one day,
