Lin Jue was stunned, and immediately understood Guo Bing's intention. It turned out that Guo Bing wanted to recruit him as a guest. This prince had nearly a thousand guests in his family, and he was quite like the Four Gentlemen of Spring and Autumn. There were so many people of all kinds under his sect, some of whom were
There are also many capable people. Sima Qingshan and Dongfang Weiming, who had appeared in the Oiran Competition before, have also become guests of the palace. Now I am afraid that they have seen that they have some skills and have come to recruit them again.
In the letter he wrote back, the young prince specifically asked Guo Bing to recruit Lin Jue, which coincided with Guo Bing. He had thousands of guests, but he was useless at the critical moment. Lin Jue was a very important person in this incident.
The courage and strategy shown by him are eye-catching. Of course, Guo Bing hopes to take him into his sect. But he can't show eagerness. He is a prince and he has the dignity of a prince. People like Lin Jue only need to raise their fingers.
He would burst into tears of gratitude.
Guo Bing smiled quietly, waiting for Lin Jue to kneel down and kowtow to express his gratitude with tears in his eyes. It is the dream of many people to be admitted to the palace as a guest. Because every year, how many of his palace guests will be recommended as officials without having to pass the exam?
In the imperial examination, they will get opportunities that they can never get personally. Lin Jue will be extremely happy.
"Your Majesty, I may not be able to comply with this matter." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"What?" Guo Bing's hand holding the osmanthus tree shook and he pulled off a handful of leaves.
"Lin Jue, do you know that this is the opportunity that many people dream of? How many people want to enter my palace as a guest of Prince Liang? Even Dongfang Weiming's Sima Qingshan has entered my palace as a guest, and they are not as good as you? You actually rejected me?
"
Guo Bing felt a little annoyed.
"I am deeply grateful for the prince's affection. However, I cannot agree to this matter for the time being. I am studying under the great Confucian Fang Dunru. My mentor hopes that I can take the imperial examination and become an official. That is what I want to do. So...
...I can only thank the prince for his kindness." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"Have you lost your mind? If you become my guest, I can recommend you to become an official. You don't need to take the imperial examination. Do you know how difficult the imperial examination is? Don't think you have some talent. Sima Qingshan Dongfang Weiming is better than
You're not bad, aren't you? The two of them failed in the scientific examination three times in a row. Do they have no ability? You can only write a few poems and think you will win? Lin Jue, you must be a little confused."
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said: "What the prince said is reasonable, but I still want to give it a try. I am naturally grateful for your kindness. However, being recommended to become an official and being an official through the imperial examination are two different things. I admit that I have the intention to become an official.
, but I still want to rely on my own abilities. Besides, my mentor will never agree to my opportunism."
Guo Bing shook his head and sighed: "You are confused, what does Fang Dunru know? That rotten scholar himself is not tolerated by the court. If you follow him and don't learn from his bad temper, will it be beneficial?"
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Your Majesty, students dare not hear the fault of their teachers."
Guo Bing smacked his lips and said: "I'm not setting him up in front of you. You are young and ignorant of the hardships of the world. It is also a great thing for your Lin family that you are a guest in my palace. Although your Lin family is famous in Hangzhou,
The family is well off, but it is a merchant's family after all. Your family head wants to revitalize the Lin family, but I know that in order to let his children enter the officialdom, Lin Boyong ordered all the children of the family to study and take the exam, intending to cast a big net to catch fish. Now you
You have this opportunity to become an official right in front of you, and you actually refused it? If Lin Boyong knew, I'm afraid he would scold you like crazy."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is a matter for my Lin family. I don't need to worry about it."
Guo Bing stared and was about to get angry. No one had ever dared to talk to him like this before. But getting angry over this matter seemed to be a petty matter. Guo Bing also had a stubborn temper. Lin Jue refused, but he wanted to make him work for him.
So he frowned and thought for a moment, then spoke.
"Lin Jue, I will spend some time today to tell you some truths in this world. You, the Lin family, want to light up the lintel, so they do not hesitate to spend a lot of effort on this matter. Lin Bonian is your second uncle, right?
He holds the position of Deputy Envoy of the Third Division, and seems to be an important member of the court. However, as far as I know, his officials are all maintained with money. I might as well tell you something that I shouldn't tell you. Did you know
A group of admonishers from the Yushitai have already set their sights on Lin Bonian. Once an attack occurs in the future, Lin Bonian will definitely lose his official position. Once the only person in the Lin family who can support the front falls, he will return to the past overnight.
Already."
Lin Jue frowned and said, "What does the prince mean by this?"
Guo Bing smacked his lips and said: "I don't mean anything. I am just telling you this matter. This matter has nothing to do with me. But when the matter comes, if I take advantage of him, Yushitai may
I'll give you some disrespect. I'll tell you something you don't like to hear. Few of you in the Lin family really understand the world. As the head of the family, Lin Boyong doesn't really understand what's going on here. Of course, money costs money.
However, money is not omnipotent. Besides, the money Lin Bonian spent was not on purpose. He spent large sums of money on Zhang Jun, the third minister, so what was the use? Although Zhang Jun was a strategist, he had no power in the court.
In both houses, Prime Minister Lu Zhongtian, Privy Councilor Yang Jun and others are the real powerful figures, but did Lin Bonian spend enough money? Will they pay attention to Lin Bonian?"
Lin Jue frowned and said nothing. Every year, the Lin family gave their second uncle, Lin Bonian, a huge amount of money to spend in the capital, in order to maintain Lin Bonian's status in the court and win over officials in the hope of making further progress. According to what King Liang said
, but the money seems to have been spent in vain. Not only that, but it also seems to be targeted.
"Zhang Jun is the Prime Minister, your second uncle's immediate boss, and a person with power. But he has already given you the Lin family's money in return, which is the business of water transportation and other imperial supplies. Once Lin Bonian
If something goes wrong, he will only add insult to injury and will never take advantage of Lin Bonian. So, having money is not a bad thing, money can make people go around. But in the current court, there is one more thing that is needed besides money.
Only by using them together can we ensure a stable position. Do you know what that thing is?"
Lin Jue was not stupid. He frowned and said: "What the prince said is that there are people who sincerely help? In other words, there must be a backer?"
"Hey, I say you are confused, but you are not confused at all. Based on your words, I think you should be the head of the Lin family. That's right! You have a backer. What's the point of saying that if you don't have a backer? All your money has been wasted.
Now. If you have a backer, you have to weigh it before others move you. The biggest backer in the world today is the Holy Sage, but the Holy Sage is everyone's backer, which makes everyone unable to rely on you. Your Lin family can either catch up with Lu Zhongtian or Yang.
Jun. It's a pity that these two people think they are honest. If you go to give them money today, the next moment they will shake it out in the court and attack you. They are eager for you to give money, but they do not want your money.
They want your life to prove their integrity. If they find out about Lin Bonian, hehe, they will be eager to deal with him. Tell me, who will speak for your second uncle? Zhang Jun? Or someone else in the court?
Human?" Guo Bingbing said with a smile.
Lin Jue frowned and said nothing. Although it was the first time for him to hear these things, he also heard a lot of unknown inside stories in the court. But this matter related to the Lin family, which Lin Jue had never expected. I wonder if the prince was exaggerating.
, it is indeed true. However, King Liang knew everything about the second uncle. It seems that these things are true. I just don’t know why King Liang told him this.
"Lin Jue, I have a good impression of your Lin family, and your Lin family respects me. Your Lin family also put a lot of thought into the Queen Mother's birthday gifts. The two birthday gifts made me extremely satisfied. As for what happened next, in fact,
The fault is not with your Lin family, but with the gangsters' daring actions. After the accident, you risked your life to save your life, and I am very satisfied. But in any case, I have nothing to do with your Lin family. Under this situation, if Lin Bonian is killed
When someone exposes the impeachment, do you think I will help? I can’t bear to not help. There is no reason for me to help. But if you come to my palace as a guest, it will be different. They want to touch Lin Bonian, but
You must also think about my relationship. This is my way to show you the Lin family. Your Lin family needs a backer, and I am willing to be this backer. You are not grateful and have rejected me. Don’t you feel stupid?"
Lin Jue suddenly realized that Prince Liang was targeting him and wanted to recruit him to serve in his palace. After a long detour, this was the purpose. Lin Jue was in a dilemma because he did not want to get involved with Prince Liang's palace.
Together, although Prince Liang's palace was very powerful, Lin Jue always felt that it was better not to mess with Prince Liang. There were other reasons for this.
In the previous life, Prince Liang's Mansion was already in bad luck before the two princes fought for the throne. Although Lin Jue didn't know the specific reason, it was obvious that the Holy Emperor was afraid of the power of Prince Liang's Mansion and solved this hidden danger in advance. If he was attached to Prince Liang, although
Getting a temporary benefit will inevitably lead to big trouble. Wouldn't this lead to the Lin family's demise earlier?
However, the secrets about the imperial court that Guo Bing told today are not necessarily nonsense. Because of the chaos of time and space, many things no longer follow the course of the previous life. Although the second Bolin Bonian of the previous life did not achieve great success,
But until the end of the Lin family, he still stayed safely in his position as deputy envoy of the Third Department. But based on this, it can be concluded that nothing will happen to Lin Bonian, and Lin Jue does not dare to be completely sure now.
.After all, Lu Wu, who originally died tragically, is still alive by his side. This is the reason why his human intervention has changed the process of time and space.
If it is true as Guo Bing said, Lin Bonian has been targeted at this moment. Once the Yushitai impeaches Lin Bonian, wouldn't it be a troublesome matter. The crime of bribing officials in the DPRK is also very likely to implicate the Lin family.
Let the Lin family face crisis again.
Lin Jue was in a dilemma. He didn't know whether to agree or not. It seemed that no choice was right or the best plan.
