As Kang Zizhen said, this is a great achievement. However, this credit is attributed to him, Kang Zizhen, and has nothing to do with himself. Kang Zizhen was given high hopes and was awarded the post of prefect of Hangzhou, which is Yan Zhengsheng.
He wanted someone he valued to come to Hangzhou to conquer the difficult nut of Prince Liang's Mansion. Kang Zizhen must have realized how tyrannical Guo Bing was, and it was unimaginable, so he came to lie to him with sweet words after learning that he had returned to Hangzhou.
Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had always deceived others, but today someone came to deceive him. Could it be that he has really become a casual deceiver in the eyes of others? This is really sad!
Kang Zizhen saw the smile on Lin Jue's face and thought that Lin Jue was moved. He immediately said with a smile: "How about it? Brother Lin Shi, this is a good idea. It will definitely help you return to Fang Daru's sect."
Lin Jue laughed loudly, looked at Kang Zizhen's smiling face and said, "Master Kang, thank you for your trouble. However, I'm afraid this method won't work."
Kang Zizhen said in astonishment: "Why is that? Don't you want to renew the relationship between master and disciple with Fang Zhongcheng?"
"That's not true." Lin Jue reached out and tapped lightly on the low table, sighing: "My mentor has been kind to me, and I will always be grateful to him in my life. Although he doesn't recognize me, I still regard him as my mentor.
"Once you are a teacher, you will always be a teacher. This cannot be changed."
"Then why did you say that again? Isn't this a great opportunity?" Kang Zizhen frowned.
"Master Kang, you think too highly of my influence in the palace. How can Prince Liang listen to my advice? I am just his son-in-law, and he will not listen to my words. Therefore, although I have the intention, I am powerless.
Ah." Lin Jue laughed.
"How...how could this happen? I heard that Prince Liang thinks very highly of you. Otherwise, why would he marry the princess to you? Or would you rather seize your son-in-law in a shocking way? You can analyze the pros and cons, Xiaozhi
Use emotion to move with reason." Kang Zizhen said hastily.
Lin Jue waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are not an insider, so of course you don't understand. I am from a commoner background, and the prince is a relative of the royal family. How could he value me? Why should I touch a wall and make him unhappy if I know it is not possible? To make him unhappy?
What good will it do me if I kill him?"
Kang Zizhen frowned and said, "You have to try to find out, but you don't even want to give it a try?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Prefect Kang, why don't you express your feelings and reason? Ordinarily, the prince should give you three points for your prefect's face."
Kang Zizhen frowned and didn't answer. Of course he had tried, but he was kicked out with a lot of scolding. How could he be weak in front of Prince Liang?
"Brother Lin Shi, so you don't want to help at all?" Kang Zizhen said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "What Master Kang said is wrong. How come I am doing you a favor? Isn't this your doing me a favor? I understand your kindness, but this method will not work."
Kang Zizhen regretted his mistake and actually revealed his true intention. He also understood that this Lin Jue had no intention of doing it at all, otherwise he would not even give it a try. Today's trip was in vain.
This guy doesn't give me any face.
"Brother Lin, let me explain. You'd better go and persuade the prince about this matter. It will be beneficial to you, the prince, and me. You can use this to get Fang Zhongcheng's approval, and there is a chance of returning to the door. I can give it to you."
I have done the errand to avoid being blamed by the court. Prince Liang can also avoid some trouble." Kang Zizhen's tone became cold.
Lin Jue said with a smile: "I know, but I have already said that this matter can't be done. Besides, you said that Prince Liang's Mansion will avoid some trouble. This seems to mean that if the Prince's Mansion does not call Assistant Yinzi, there will be big trouble.
Can’t make it?”
Kang Zizhen stood up slowly, looked down at Lin Jue and said: "Brother Lin, I have explained my words to you. You also know that the implementation of the new law is unstoppable and no one can resist it. The prince refuses to pay the service fee.
, is to go against the general trend and obstruct the implementation of the new law. This is no joke, this is an act of resistance to the emperor's will. I don't want to cause unpleasantness, so I just want to use your words to persuade the prince today. Otherwise,
It’s very embarrassing for everyone.”
Lin Jue laughed loudly and stood up, and said loudly: "Oh, Mr. Kang, are you impatient? You said you were thinking about me before, but it turned out that it was not for me at all, but because you couldn't complete your errand. I heard what you mean.
It's threatening. This is not good."
Kang Zizhen said coldly: "What do you say? I have indeed exercised restraint. According to the imperial court's orders, if anyone resists the implementation of the new law, I have the right to mobilize Ning Haijun to enforce it. Even though I am the prince, I cannot resist.
National law. If you refuse to advise the prince to obey your orders, I will report the matter to the court and ask for an order to force it to be done. By then, wouldn't it make everyone lose face?"
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Master Kang, are you kidding? That is Prince Liang, the younger brother of the current Holy Emperor. His surname is Guo. Do you dare to do this? Even if you had ten more courages, you wouldn't dare to do this, right?
.Don’t get angry out of embarrassment, it’s not good to talk too much.”
Kang Zizhen's face turned red and he said angrily: "Lin Jue, don't be so arrogant, and don't think about your identity. Do you understand that you are the laughingstock of the scholar? You were expelled from the school by Fang Zhongcheng, but you don't know what shame is. I am kindly helping you.
You have returned to the master's sect, but you don't know what is good or bad. It is really abominable."
Lin Jue waved his hand and threw the tea cup to the ground with a loud bang. The tea splashed and the sound was astonishing.
"What's going on? How dare you touch a hair on my head..." Kang Zi was startled, took a few steps back and shouted.
Lin Jue scolded in a cold voice: "Look at how you look like a bear. You don't even take a pee to look at yourself, but I want you to help me return to my master? I didn't even agree to it even if the emperor returned to heaven, so what do you think?"
What is it? My mentor and I have different ideas. If I were willing to compromise, I wouldn't be where I am today. You have to talk too much. I want to remind you that if you really participate in the reform, that's fine. If you just use it to help
Springboard, if you want to get the capital to get promoted, you may have chosen the wrong path. Reform is difficult and complicated, so people like you are not qualified to implement it. If you don't have the ability to implement the new law, you will only order your subordinates to bully the people and behave harshly.
How can you, a mediocre person like you, do nothing to deal with someone who is in a high and powerful position? I advise you, if you dare to think even a little bit, you will die without a burial place. If you want to keep your head and wear the official hat, then
Please be honest and transfer me out of Hangzhou. You can't chew this hard nut. If you still treat the people in this rough way, there will be chaos under your jurisdiction, and you will lose your head."
Kang Zi's face was livid with anger, he pointed at Lin Jue and said angrily: "You... you... you..."
Lin Jue sneered and said: "What am I? What I said are all good words. If you want to seek death, just pretend to be deaf. I'm sorry, Mr. Kang, I went back to my hometown in Hangzhou to reunite with my family. I want to follow you at noon today."
The Lin family is having a great time gathering and drinking, but you've wasted too much of my time. Come, see Mr. Kang off."
Kang Zi's mouth twisted in shock, and he pointed at Lin Jue and said, "Okay, okay, remember today."
Lin Jue sneered and said, "See you off!"
Kangzi spat angrily, turned around and hurried away.
Lin Jue sneered and watched Kang Zizhen's back leave, but he felt no satisfaction in his heart. Although what happened today was just a small episode, Kang Zizhen had absolutely no ability to touch him, and he was not afraid of the cruel words he said.
But what happened today reflects a worrying current situation.
A Hangzhou prefect has dared to say things like threatening Prince Liang's Mansion, which is very scary. This has nothing to do with the status of Prince Liang's Mansion, but has to do with the current situation. The reform is being promoted vigorously and vigorously, although the opponents are doing their best
All they could, but it was not successful. This gave many people the illusion that the reformists had the absolute upper hand. The emperor's unequivocal support for the promotion of the new law also greatly increased this illusion. So the reform
One faction is now caught up in a frenzy of success.
Kang Zizhen, in just one year, had a prosperous official career because of his remarks in support of the reform. He suddenly sat on the throne of the prefect of one of the largest prefectures in the country like Hangzhou. His arrogant and domineering mentality is still reflected today.
There is no doubt that he dared to say threatening words even to Prince Liang's palace. This is very scary.
From this, it can be inferred that the reformist officials from all over the Zhou Dynasty probably have the same mentality at the moment, being fanatical and restless, with an attitude of disdain for everything. In order to gain more political capital, their brains are very hot.
His behavior has also changed. His behavior in promoting the reform has also become rough, arrogant and reckless. If this continues, it will be extremely dangerous.
Lin Jue decided that the first thing he would do after returning to Beijing was to ask for a meeting with Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng. Whether they liked it or not, he would tell them what he had seen, heard and felt. Let them know that the current reform process was on the right track.
