It may be said that one can rest after being drunk, but the generals of the Luoyan Army are no longer the rabble they once were. They have learned not only discipline, but also self-control. As the expedition is about to begin, all kinds of affairs need to be prepared, and every detail must be arranged.
All the generals know Marshal Lin's temperament. He may not do the things he asks well, but it must only be because he failed to do it after trying his best, lack of ability, or failed to do it after trying every means. If he could have done it well,
, but failing to do a good job because of delay and shirk or not trying your best will not be forgiven. Drinking and ruining things is one of the most unforgivable reasons.
Therefore, the generals indeed devoured the table of food prepared by Lin Jue. This was not only to give face to Princess An Guo, who cooked the food herself, but also to show that the food was delicious. It was indeed because the food tasted good. But the wine did not.
After drinking a few glasses, even if it is Zhuyeqing, a good wine that is not widely available in the capital, it will only make you salivate.
After sending everyone away, Lin Jue came to the small courtyard of the study alone, standing under the west-slanting spring sun and thinking about the current situation.
Things in the court troubled Lin Jue very much, and his relationship with Guo Kun had changed. Lin Jue's bottom line was that no matter how he had differences or conflicts, he could not use drastic means such as secret intrigues or even assassinations to solve the problem.
.Once the other party resorts to such means, there will be no room for reconciliation for Lin Jue. When Guo Kun ambushed people that night and prepared to attack him, everything was out of control, and Lin Jue was not around.
He had some scruples. Of course, for the sake of the overall situation, Lin Jue did not want to attack at this moment. It would be easy for him to depose Guo Kun, but doing so at this moment would cause chaos. The finally stable situation would get out of control, both locally and in the court.
It was a mess, which Lin Jue didn't want to see.
Lin Jue's starting point is to restore order to the Great Zhou Dynasty and let the people get out of the war and poverty. Solving the suffering of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty is Lin Jue's first goal. This is also his fulfillment of Fang Dunru's legacy and his own
The goal he wants to achieve. Lin Jue is no longer the person who only thought about himself and his family and friends around him. His thoughts have already entered another realm. Since he lives in this era, he must do something meaningful.
.And this meaningful thing is to contribute one's efforts and talents to the country and the people. From ancient times to the present, all those who are admired by people have fulfilled this goal and been passed on to the world. The most simple way is like this. No matter you
All kinds of people will eventually reach the same destination through different paths, and they will all end up on this road.
Therefore, Lin Jue hoped that the war would subside as soon as possible, and that the people would come out of the chaos and live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible. If not, he would not have to drag Guo Kun to the top. He originally thought that after Guo Kun had gone through so much,
He would understand his good intentions, would know that he would not pose a threat to his throne at all, would fully support him in his work, and completely trust himself. However, Guo Kun's performance disappointed Lin Jue. He completely deviated from what he wanted to do.
The direction he was expected to go was incompetent and suspicious. He actually began to doubt himself and wanted to attack himself.
This really made Lin Jue furious.
In the final analysis, Guo Kun still regards himself as a superior person. He has not woken up at all. He is nothing but a royal status. He refuses to admit this reality. He believes that everything he does should be done for him.
. He should honestly hand over the power to him and be his loyal slave. Let him take over the fruits of victory. He took it all for granted. When he found that it was impossible, his reputation was far away.
Being higher than him and unable to completely obey him, his psychology was completely unbalanced, turning from dependence to suspicion and even hatred. His desire for power made him lose his mind, and even he dared to think of killing himself.
This is so stupid.
Of course, Lin Jue also understood that the deeper reason was because of his identity. He was not from this era, so the idea of being loyal to the imperial power was extremely weak in Lin Jue's mind, and was even impossible. He could not
As Guo Kun wishes, it is impossible to become the person Guo Kun hopes to be. This mutual gap in expectations between the two parties has led to the two people drifting apart. Moreover, Lu Zhongtian has set a very bad example and example, which makes the two people drift apart.
Guo Kun was even more worried that he would become the next Lu Zhongtian, so he accelerated his distrust and suspicion of himself.
The current situation is that Lin Jue does have the intention to depose Guo Kun, but taking into account the overall situation and all aspects of the situation, this matter cannot be done hastily, so as not to cause chaos to the overall situation. Lin Jue is also unwilling to follow Lu Zhongtian's old path and want to be an emperor.
Except that Lin Jue didn't have that intention, and doing so would still trigger a comprehensive civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty needed an emperor named Guo as their spiritual support. Lin Jue understood this. The Great Zhou Dynasty, the Guo family in the world
It has not yet reached the point where it has completely lost the support of the people and lost all reputation and prestige. The Zhou Dynasty has plummeted from the peak of prosperity to its current situation. Everything the people have experienced is like riding a roller coaster. They have not yet
There was no time to think clearly what was going on. The vast majority of the people still missed the prosperity before the Great Zhou Dynasty in their hearts. They blamed foreign enemies and internal thieves, but did not attribute the blame to the Guo family. In short, the Guo family was not exhausted, and instead
He is unpopular with the people. Therefore, even if Guo Kun is deposed, he still needs to find someone from the Guo family as emperor to stabilize people's hearts.
And the problem is that the conflicts between himself and Guo Kun are not open to the public. Even in the eyes of outsiders, he and Guo Kun have a close relationship and are people in the same boat. After all, Guo Kun and he raised the flag to rebel, and he
He is the son-in-law of Prince Liang and the brother-in-law of Guo Kun. At least Guo Kun respects him very much. He has given him the title of king, given him the power to dominate, and granted him all the important military and political positions in the court. Under this situation, if
If he suddenly deposes Guo Kun, the world will be in an uproar. People will not believe that Guo Kun is jealous of them and even has murderous intentions towards them. They will only believe that they want to usurp the throne and commit rebellion, so they will retaliate against Guo Kun and do other things.
The royal family will replace him. In that case, he will become the person who is pointed out by thousands of people.
People are kind
Good, but at the same time, they are also ignorant. Sometimes they are hateful. They will only believe the facts they want to believe, and they will only judge you by their own standards. In such an era, Lin Jue wants to
To achieve one's goal, one has to adopt a smarter approach. Let the world intuitively understand that it is Guo Kun who is ungrateful, not himself.
In addition to the matter with Guo Kun, the upcoming expedition is another major event. Even if Tian Guilin hadn't arrived and revealed the fact that Wanyan Agu was still determined to be a traitor, the battle with the Jurchens would not have lasted long. Lin Jue
In fact, the original plan was to deal with the Jurchens occupying the land of the Zhou Dynasty immediately after the situation stabilized. In fact, all this was not done much in advance. It was impossible to be completely prepared before attacking, and the time was delayed.
The longer it goes, the more difficult things become. He will have to face the situation of fighting a large number of Zhou people who are coerced by the Jurchens. Although there is no such thing as a common people on the battlefield, there are only enemies and one's own people, but that
After all, they were the people of the Zhou Dynasty who were being coerced. The earlier they defeated the Jurchens, the sooner they would have prevented a large number of Zhou people from dying on the battlefield as enemies. Otherwise, the so-called ambition of caring for the people would become a joke.
In fact, Tian Guilin's arrival only made Lin Jue understand one thing, that is, with officials like Tian Guilin and people like Bohai County in the Great Zhou Dynasty, all his efforts will be more meaningful. In such a country, such
The people and officials of the country must not let a foolish person like Guo Kun take charge of this country, and let the previous tragedies on earth and the country have a chance to happen again.
In addition to these matters at the court, there are also many troubles at home. Especially the little princess. More than ten days have passed since the last time I talked to her, and I and Guo Caiwei have not said another word.
It's not because of herself, but because Guo Caiwei has closed herself off, hiding from herself and refusing to meet with her. She was already busy with affairs, and Guo Kun's matter made Lin Jue a little angry with the little princess, so she didn't deliberately
I took the initiative to look for him. I had been living at Luwu's place these days, leaving early and coming back late, busy and busy, but I didn't go to the main courtyard to find the little princess.
Under the setting sun, Lin Jue stood under the shade of a tree and meditated for a long time. A gust of wind blew, and the leaves above his head rustled in the wind, which made Lin Jue wake up with horror.
The most innocent person in the whole thing is Guo Caiwei. In fact, she did nothing, but now she is helpless, terrified, and heartbroken. This is actually not her fault at all, but she has to bear this situation.
It's really unfair. Moreover, that is his wife. The wife who loves him deeply, has a deep relationship with Lin Jue, and has given Lin Jue great support and help along the way. How can he bear to see her?
How could he ignore her pain like a stranger?
Lin Jue walked out and happened to meet Lu Wu who came to deliver tea. Lu Wu said: "Where are you going, Master?"
Lin Jue said: "Where is Caiwei? I'll go find her."
