(Please subscribe! Collect!) Guo Bing was stunned, and at the same time he was very angry. He did not doubt what Lin Jue said, because Lin Jue would never dare to lie about such a thing. What he was angry about was that the pirates were so audacious
, has actually developed to this point, and has ignored himself, the prince who is in charge of Hangzhou.
Lin Jue continued: "Your Majesty, Hai Dongqing is determined to kill me. He hates me for killing his son, and even more hates me for ruining his important affairs, so he wants to get rid of me and then be quick. Hai Dongqing
I will not give up until my goal is achieved. This is already the fourth time, and the next time is probably not far away. The common people are in danger now. Maybe tomorrow, the prince will hear the news of my death. I have thought about this matter over and over again and reported it to the official.
It won’t work, so I can only come and ask the prince.”
Guo Bing frowned, but there was nothing he could do for a while. If it was something within the jurisdiction of the imperial court, he could certainly help to some extent. But Hai Dongqing is the leader of a bandit gang in eastern Zhejiang, and he is an outsider.
As a prince, words like his own are of no use to Hai Dongqing. Hai Dongqing has his sights on Lin Jue, and he doesn't have the ability to make Hai Dongqing stop. But after all, this matter happened because of the birthday gift, but he
You can't ignore it either.
"Lin Jue, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. How do you want me to help you? Otherwise, I ask Shen Tan to send a few guards to protect you personally. Maybe Hai Dongqing will retreat in the face of difficulties.
Other than that, I really can’t think of any good ideas.”
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Your Majesty sending people to protect me will naturally keep me safe for a while, but Haidongqing is famous for biting people and not giving up until he achieves his goal. Your Majesty can protect me for a while.
Can they protect me for the rest of my life? Besides, their current target is not just me, but everyone in my Lin family. How many people does the prince need to send to protect us? Taking a step back, even if the prince is willing to send a large number of people to protect my Lin family
Everyone, but I, Lin Jue, and the Lin family will have to hide at home for the rest of their lives, never leaving the door or stepping outside the door, so how can I hide for the rest of my life?"
Guo Bing smacked his lips and frowned, this matter is indeed difficult. It only takes one person to protect Lin Jue, but only five or six people. Protecting the Lin family of more than a hundred people is not possible, how many people are needed to do it. The palace guards are not used
Came to protect the Lin family.
"Then tell me, what should we do about this matter? How can I help you?" Guo Bing said thoughtfully.
"My lord, I have thought about this matter carefully. It seems that there is only one way at present. That is to achieve long-term peace and stability once and for all. Instead of passively guarding against them, it is better to take the initiative to eradicate them. Wouldn't the world be peaceful from now on?" Lin Jue said softly.
road.
"Eradicate them? Are you kidding? Hai Dongqing claims to have 50,000 bandits, and he is entrenched on more than a dozen islands in eastern Zhejiang. The imperial army is helpless against him. How can you eradicate them just by saying? Not even before speaking.
Think about it carefully." Guo Bing smiled in astonishment.
Lin Jue said softly: "That's why I came to see the prince? Please help me."
"How can I help? Kill Hai Dongqing? Even if I send all the guards in the mansion and give you my big ship, can you go and pick out Hai Dongqing's bandit lair? Don't say it's a joke.
You have some abilities and have achieved great things, but do you know how lucky you are to achieve what you have achieved?"
Lin Jue frowned and was silent. Guo Bing seemed to feel that what he just said was a bit harsh, so he said seriously: "Lin Jue, I really want to help you, but this matter is really not as simple as you said. This matter may take a long time."
It’s better to think about it in the long term.”
Lin Jue said: "Your Majesty, not to mention that this matter is the sequelae of the Guishan Island incident, as far as the matter itself is concerned, the pirates are so arrogant, Your Majesty cannot ignore it. As far as I know, Your Majesty followed the order of the late Emperor.
To guard and suppress bandits. This palace was also established in Hangzhou for the purpose of suppressing bandits. Now that the pirates are so rampant, can the prince just let it go?"
"What are you talking about? Of course I can't just let it go, but this matter needs long-term consideration. Based on what you say, going out to attack and exterminate the pirates is not just a matter of words. This matter affects the whole body, and it is not
This is something that I alone can decide." Guo Bing frowned.
Lin Jue nodded slowly and said: "I understand, the prince is not going to help. Anyway, I will die if I die. My Lin family is just a home of ordinary merchants, and our lives are worthless. I understand what the prince means, I
I don’t want to ask the prince anymore, I’ll go find someone else.”
Lin Juegong cupped his hands and turned around to leave. Guo Bing frowned and said, "Where are you going? I can't do anything, who can?"
Lin Jue sneered and said: "If the prince doesn't help me, can't I find someone else to help me? The prefect Yan Zhengsu has a relationship with my teacher, so he won't sit idly by. I'll go find him and find a way. Maybe he can help me."
.”
Guo Bing was startled and shouted coldly: "Lin Jue, you want to ask Yan Zhengsheng for help? Then how should you tell him the cause and effect of this matter?"
Lin Jue sneered and said: "What else can be done? Just report it truthfully."
Guo Bing's face suddenly fell like frost, becoming extremely gloomy and ugly.
"Lin Jue, do you want to report truthfully? Do you want to tell Yan Zhengshen what happened on Guishan Island, Qiu Biao's identity, and Hai Dongqing's intentions? You should think it through before you answer me." Guo Bing's voice was cold.
It's like a layer of ice has formed.
"Your Majesty, I don't mean to offend you, but now that the lives of my Lin family are threatened and something unexpected may happen at any time, I have to try my best to protect myself and the lives of everyone in the Lin family. So I have no choice but to ask Your Majesty for your understanding.
Lin Jue said quietly.
"But don't you know that this violates my taboo? You are such a smart person, don't you understand this truth?" Guo Bingbing shouted.
"I know, but I can't care about it. I know that the prince will not spare me if I do this, but it's urgent right now, so I can only focus on the present. The prince doesn't care, I can only find someone who can take care of it. If the matter can't be solved, there is no need.
Your Majesty, if you do this to me, I will die in the hands of Hai Dongqing. I am a smart person, but I don’t want to be a smart dead person. So, Your Majesty, I’m sorry." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"How dare you! How dare you talk to me like this? Do you believe that I taught you that you cannot leave my palace today? I will kill you immediately." Guo Bing scolded.
Lin Jue looked up at Guo Bing's angry eyes and said softly: "Killing me, Your Majesty, is like squeezing an ant to death, but I might as well tell Your Majesty. I came to the palace today and have no intention of going back alive. I have already done it."
I have made preparations. If I can't go back today, someone will send a letter to the magistrate Yan Zhengsheng's yamen. That letter will record everything that happened. I believe Yan Zhengsheng cannot just sit idly by. The prince wants to kill or behead him.
Lin Juexi agrees to do as he pleases. But killing me won't keep the secret for the prince."
"Bastard! Are you threatening me? You are so brave. Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this? Are you going to rebel? Bastard!" Guo Bing completely exploded and reached out to grab him.
The tea cups, teapots, snacks, dishes, and dishes on the table were thrown at Lin Jue, and finally he reached out to overturn the table and kicked the chair away.
The palace guards who were hiding in the surrounding area hurriedly emerged from the surrounding area. The leader was the deputy commander of the palace guards, He Chao, who hurried over with more than a dozen guards.
"My lord, what are your orders? Do you want to take someone?" He Chao shouted.
"Get out! Get away from me!" Guo Bing cursed angrily.
He Chao froze on the spot, scratching his head in confusion. The guards also looked at each other in confusion. Guo Bing cursed angrily: "Why don't you get out?"
He Chao waved his hand hurriedly, and the group of people immediately disappeared among the flowers and trees.
Lin Jue stood there quietly, feeling a dull pain all over his body. Just now Guo Bing hit him randomly, and Lin Jue stood still without moving, just protecting his head and face. Teacups, dishes, etc. were hit on his body, but the pain was bone-piercing. But
Lin Jue knew that King Liang was going to go crazy. He was so bold and threatened him by confronting him. Not to mention throwing things and hitting people, it was not unusual for him to chop them with a knife.
"You bastard, a pariah, how dare you threaten me. I... I can't spare you." Guo Bing cursed breathlessly, sitting slumped on a chair that had not been kicked over, panting, his face
Turning pale from anger.
…
Lin Jue's threat hit his weak spot. After the birthday ceremony, the news of Hai Dongqing's intention to rebel was tightly blocked by Guo Bing. Except for the two commanders of Ning Haijun, the prince and his son, and those who participated in Guishan Island
Except for Lin Jue and the other eight people who were responsible for the incident, no one knew the secret. Officials in the Hangzhou government office and even the Liangzhe Road Transfer Envoy Office were all kept secret. Because once the news was known to Yan Zhengsu and others,
They will definitely report to the court, which will be an extremely unfavorable situation for Guo Bing.
The reason why Liang Wang Guo Bing was able to leave the capital and stay in Hangzhou was definitely not due to the ancestral system of the imperial court. On the contrary, it was unique for this dynasty for a vassal king to leave the capital to station in other places. The ancestral system of this dynasty was that even if a vassal king came of age, he would be granted a title or official position.
But people must stay in the capital, and all official positions are remote or empty, and they are not allowed to leave the capital to station outside the capital. The reason why Prime Minister Lu Zhongtian spread the word to the court that King Liang should return to the capital was precisely because of this point.
However, there was a special reason why King Liang was able to stay in Hangzhou. More than 20 years ago, the area around Wengshan County in Hangzhou was a place where pirates were rampant. Finally one year, a severe drought that had never happened in a century occurred in Hangzhou.
The city of Hangzhou, which was originally a land of plenty and plenty of fish and rice, suffered a great famine. Some of the hungry people who had no way out fell into the trap and became pirates. The pirates quickly grew in power and began to run rampant in eastern Zhejiang, causing endless nuisance.
Liangzhe Road was the center of money and food for the Zhou Dynasty. How could the imperial court allow chaos to occur here? At this time, Guo Bing, who was fighting with Lu Zhongtian in the capital and was worried about the matter of establishing a prince, decided to leave the capital, a place of right and wrong. So,
He took the initiative to ask his father to come and exterminate the pirates and restore peace to the two Zhejiang roads.
For some unknown reason, the late emperor agreed to Guo Bing's request, so young Guo Bing rushed to Hangzhou under the title of Commander-in-Chief of Bandit Suppression. He assembled thousands of troops and began to attack the spreading pirates.
An all-out siege was carried out. At that time, Guo Bing was not as pot-bellied as he is today. When he was young, Prince Liang was good at riding bows and horses, and was good at swords, guns, swords and halberds. Under the leadership of the wise second prince Guo Bing, the officers and soldiers
Their morale was high, and they fought several battles with the pirates who had already roamed and occupied several counties. They quickly defeated the unorganized pirates and drove them into the sea, quelling the banditry on the two Zhejiang roads.
This was the achievement that Guo Bing was most proud of when he was young. His bright armor and polished weapons are still displayed in his study, which is his way of remembering that all-powerful time.
In memory. Even though his fat body can no longer wear armor, and his pampered body can no longer wield a sword, Guo Bing still orders people to wipe these things every day so that he and others can always remember that period.
