After returning from the palace, Lin Jue didn't even go back to the house, so he plunged into the study. After hearing the news, Guo Caiwei came to inquire. Lin Jue told Guo Caiwei that he needed to think about some problems quietly in the study, so no one should disturb him.
.
Guo Caiwei and Lu Wu were both very surprised. Guo Caiwei guessed that Lin Jue was angry in the palace, or had a falling out with his father and brother. After all, Guo Caiwei knew what her father and brother had planned, and it was very possible that she refused.
I went into this troubled waters because of the Lin family's affairs.
Therefore, Guo Caiwei specially sent someone to the palace to inquire about the whole story. However, the answer she got was that Lin Jue had a good talk with his father and brother when he came. The three of them talked in the front hall for a full hour. When they left, Lin Jue still had a smile on his face.
He was smiling. There was no quarrel or displeasure during the period, they just raised their voices a few times. After that, the prince and the young prince were in a good mood, and it didn't look like they were having a conflict.
Guo Caiwei and Lu Wu were a little confused. After thinking about it, they all thought that Lin Jue must be worried about Lin Bonian, so they wanted to stay alone for a while to clear their heads. So they ordered people not to disturb Lin Jue and waited patiently.
Lin Jue came out and asked the real story.
However, the wait lasted from morning to night. Lin Jue was bored in the study room all day and did not come out. This made Guo Caiwei and Lu Wu finally start to worry. Guo Caiwei and Lu Wu went to take a peek in the middle, only to see
Lin Jue sat motionless on the big chair in the study room, as if an old monk was in trance. If his fingers weren't tapping lightly on the table, he would have looked like a clay Buddha. On the table, put it in
The fruit and snacks were not moved at all, and he only drank a lot of tea.
Lu Wu was worried to death and whispered something like, 'Young Master stayed up all night last night and didn't eat all day today. What should I do if he is so hurtful to his body and mind? He should go in and persuade him.' Guo Caiwei also frowned, but she
After all, it was more certain. She knew that Lin Jue must be thinking deeply about something and could not tolerate too much disturbance in her mind. Therefore, Guo Caiwei told Lu Wu that it was better not to go in and disturb her.
When it got dark, there was finally movement in the study. Lin Jue slowly opened the study door and walked under the porch, took a deep breath and stretched out.
"Sir, have you figured it out? I'm so worried." A small figure stood up on the stone steps next to the door and quickly came towards him.
"Eh? Why are you here, Lu Wu?" Lin Jue said with a surprised smile.
"My little madam has been waiting for you here all afternoon, and she refuses to leave no matter how much I try to persuade her." The maid who was waiting on her said softly.
Lin Jue was stunned, then took Lu Wu's hand and said, "You've been sitting here all afternoon? Why? Is there nowhere else to go? There's nothing good to see here. There's no view in the study yard."
Lu Wu said angrily: "Where are you coming to see the scenery? They are worried about you. You have been sitting here all day without eating or drinking. Do you know how worried they are? Not only me, but also the princess and sister have been here many times.
Woolen cloth."
Lin Jue laughed loudly, put his arms around Lu Wu's body and hugged her chest, tickled her nose and said with a smile: "It turned out that you were worried about me, but I was wrong. Blame me, blame me, haha, I thought you were
I like to look at the bare ground in the study yard."
Lu Wu heard that Lin Jue was making fun of him. He knew the reason why he was sitting here, he was just making fun of himself. Then he hit Lin Jue twice and said angrily: "Are you hungry? You haven't eaten anything for a day.
If you don’t eat even if I bring it to you, are you trying to starve yourself to death?”
Lin Jue stretched out his hand and pinched her face and said with a smile: "I can't starve to death. If I starve to death, my beautiful wife will be advantageous to others."
Lu Wu stamped her feet and said, "What are you talking about?" Lin Jue laughed quickly and said, "That's all, I said the wrong thing. I'm really hungry now and I have to get something to eat. I want to eat sugar cookies now.
The sugar cakes you made will be even more perfect if you add a bowl of millet porridge and a few pickled melons."
Lu Wu happily said: "I'll make it, as long as you want to eat it. You go take a bath, and then go to the pavilion in the back garden to enjoy the cool air. I'll make it ready for you in a while. By the way, ask Princess Princess if she can eat it."
Eat? I'll make more."
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Just do more, she also likes to eat. I will listen to you, I'm going to take a bath. Today, I stayed up late and rushed around, and my whole body is sour."
Lu Wu was in a good mood and trotted away happily. Lin Jue looked at her back and his smile solidified. Lu Wu still lived a simple life and focused on himself. Sometimes he felt that Lu Wu was too useless like this.
Self, but in fact I can see that Green Dance is very happy. It may be a good thing to be able to think and live in such a simple way, at least for myself, this is an impossible luxury. Just like what is happening in front of me
Likewise, what I have to face is a huge test, and I must overcome this difficulty, and I may benefit a lot.
…
At the west end of the Daqing Gate of the Imperial Palace, the Zhengshi Hall, the highest government agency of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is located here. The continuous courtyards and buildings occupy an area of several miles in front of the Youye Gate. There are thirty large and small yamen to which the Zhengshi Hall belongs.
There are more than half of them, nearly half of which are located here.
The public house where the Prime Ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are located is in the center. The five major offices of the Political Affairs Hall and the public buildings of other departments surround the Prime Minister's Office like stars over the moon. Indeed, the great administrative power of the Prime Minister's office is in this building.
Those few ministers in the compound could influence the policies of the Zhou Dynasty and decide the life and death of thousands of people.
But in fact, compared with other institutional courtyards, the courtyard where the Prime Minister's Office is located is not large in size, and it is not luxurious. Enter from the red lacquer gate of the Political Hall and walk four or five meters through the avenue between the two high walls.
After ten steps, you can see the gatehouse of the courtyard where the prime minister's office is located. The black gatehouse is not tall and is paved with ordinary black mud tiles. If no one told you that it is the office of the prime ministers and governors, you would think that
It was just an ordinary farmhouse.
After entering the courtyard gate, you will find that it is not a scene of rockery pavilions and flowers. It is just an ordinary courtyard. There are a few big trees growing, and there are indeed some flowers and plants growing in the corners, but it is not a garden with meticulous care of the architectural shape.
Planted there, it is as messy as if it had grown on its own. The only thing that can be considered an artificial landscape is a few clumps of green bamboo on the west side of the porch. With these clumps of green bamboo, the entire courtyard was immediately upgraded from an ordinary courtyard to several levels of elegance.
point.
Entering the hall, you will find that the three rooms in the front house are connected. Twenty or thirty desks are placed inside like a school. But some of the people sitting behind those desks are not students. They have all passed the imperial examination.
They are the proud sons of heaven who have successfully entered the officialdom. Their identities are officials responsible for various affairs in the public office. Although most of them only hold official positions of sixth or seventh grade, they can sit in the public office in the core department of the political hall and have a desk.
, having a place in it is already what many people expect and look up to.
If you follow an official holding a file and continue walking back, you will reach the second entrance courtyard. The scenery in the small courtyard is much better, with flower beds, fish ponds, some plum trees, peach trees, bamboos, etc. The public house
It is also divided into several rooms, all of which are public houses for some officials. These people are basically in the top position. The public houses look a little shabby to them, but everyone looks up to them when they go out. Even the local officials see them,
I'm afraid you have to be courteous. Further back, there is the third courtyard, which is also the public room where the chief official in the political affairs hall is located. The third courtyard is divided into four small courtyards. Enter the second courtyard and you will arrive directly.
There is a rather spacious back hall in the courtyard, which is actually where the governors often meet and gather officials from various agencies in the political hall to discuss matters. The vertical door in the east leads to another courtyard with two rooms.
There are independent public rooms and small halls, and a tall osmanthus tree under the porch. This is the independent public room of the then prime minister Lu Zhongtian. And the two courtyards leading to the west end of the gate, the one near the middle is the deputy prime minister Qian Qianyi's
There are public houses, and the one to the west is the public house where the new governor is serious about his political affairs.
At three o'clock in the morning, Yan Zhengsheng was sitting in front of the large table in the public room, drinking tea. He had just returned from His Highness Chongzheng's court, and he would go to the palace to meet the saint in a while. This was basically what he had to do every day during this period.
Because during this period, he and Fang Dunru were secretly drafting some reform measures. These things were top secret. Before some reform systems were introduced, the news must not be leaked. In fact, his public housing was not
It is not a safe place, because almost everyone in the political hall is the eyes and ears of Lu Zhongtian, and he cannot draft and discuss the system here. Therefore, Emperor Guo Chong granted them a secluded room in Longtuge.
By doing this, interference from the outside world is avoided, and Guo Chong can also grasp the content of the terms at any time, and ask for and receive explanations.
More than half a year has passed since he came to the capital to take up his post. However, Yan Zhengsu believes that even one year of preparation time is not excessive for this major event. Yan Zhengsu originally wanted to do more research.
After more discussion and thinking, he began to formulate the direction and provisions of the reform. He also hoped to conduct a trial implementation in advance and make modifications according to the implementation situation. However, the situation did not allow him to do so. The deterioration of Dazhou's finances
The situation in the border towns was tight, and the emperor was very anxious, and he had pinned his hopes on this change. The emperor hoped that it would achieve immediate results, and that the tight financial situation of the imperial court would soon be improved, so that he could cope with various internal and external challenges. This will
It also brought huge pressure to Yan Zhengshen.
However, Yan Zhengsheng didn't care about these pressures. He didn't have any fear or dissatisfaction. On the contrary, Yan Zhengshen was more energetic than ever before. Because he could finally do what he wanted to do, and he could finally contribute to the great Zhou Dynasty.
Make a contribution to revitalization. Finally, he can overthrow and adjust the system that he has always disliked and is full of many shortcomings. Finally, he can realize his repayment and reflect his own value. In the same way, he started from Fang Dunru.
I also saw this in myself. A man who was nearly sixty years old, working day and night, not only did not feel tired or tired at all, but was always energetic and energetic. Yan Zhengsu knew that Fang Dunru had found the same thing as he thought.
the direction of your own life.
Regarding the specific matter of reform, Yan Zhengshen and Fang Dunru also had countless communications in private. They both understood that this matter was by no means as easy as imagined. So the two of them did make a series of plans, including building momentum and
Establishing authority includes dealing with the opposition and resistance of some people. Both of them believe that at this time, it is harmless to sometimes plan some tricks and use some scheming. As long as it is beneficial to the reform, they can use all means. This is already
Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru reached a high degree of consensus. Both of them actually understood that the reform can only succeed and cannot fail. If it succeeds, the country will become rich and the people strong, and it will leave a name in history. If it fails, it will die without a burial place. Therefore, even if
It was for personal honor and disgrace, so they had to do their best. Not to mention that it was related to the fate of Zhou Dynasty and Guo Zuo, so they needed to go all out and not look back.
