Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Father-in-law, why do you need to expose my scars? It is true that we have different opinions, but my respect for Mr. Fang is sincere. Once I am a teacher, I will always be a teacher. I will never forget this.
Moreover, judging from the hearts of Mr. Yan and Mr. Fang, they really want to reform and strengthen themselves, but unfortunately...it backfires. I actually feel sorry for them."
Guo Bing nodded and smiled: "You can say that, which shows that you are a person who values love and justice. Fang Dunru will regret it sooner or later. If we enumerate the shortcomings of the reform in front of the Queen Mother, will it make the emperor think that we are more important?
Are you taking advantage of the Queen Mother? It only makes you feel more resentful?"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Of course the emperor will be unhappy, but this hurdle must be passed now. Just let the Queen Mother know that you are thinking about the court. As for the right or wrong of your views, it doesn't really matter. Of course, in order to prevent the emperor from making too many mistakes
It is not appropriate for people from the palace to come forward to ask the Queen Mother for matters, but to rely on other people's insinuations. If someone who the Queen Mother likes can speak for the prince in front of the Queen Mother, the effect will be much better. It will not make the Emperor dissatisfied, nor will it cause any trouble.
The Queen Mother’s caution.”
Guo Bing frowned and said: "Where can I find such a candidate? Your request is really difficult."
Lin Jue smiled slightly and picked up the tea cup to drink tea. The little princess frowned and suddenly looked at Lin Jue and said: "Husband, I have a candidate, I don't know if he is suitable."
Lin Jue turned around and smiled: "Tell me about it and see if it's the same as what I think?"
The little princess stretched out her slender fingers, dipped them in tea and quickly wrote a word on the table. After Lin Jue saw the word, he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Weier is really smart, this is exactly the person I have in mind."
Guo Bing frowned and said, "What riddles are you playing? Who are you?"
Guo Caiwei said softly: "Dad, who is the best person to speak to the Queen Mother? Who is the Queen Mother least likely to vent her anger on?"
Guo Bing thought about it carefully and said, "Besides the Emperor... who else can it be?"
Guo Caiwei smacked her lips and said: "Why did daddy forget that there is someone else? Concubine Rong."
Guo Bing was stunned for a moment, patted her thigh and said: "Oh, I forgot about her. She is the Queen Mother's niece, and the Queen Mother likes her the most. Yes, yes, if Concubine Rong comes forward to speak, then the Queen Mother will never think too much about it.
, it’s much better than us telling her, and the emperor won’t blame her if he knows about it. But... she may not be willing to help me. She is the emperor’s concubine, and with her intelligence, she will not know how to speak for me.
Love will make the emperor unhappy."
Lin Jue chuckled and said: "Please mother-in-law, please come with us to Beijing. Didn't my mother-in-law have a very good relationship with Concubine Rong? Maybe for the sake of my mother-in-law, Concubine Rong will not refuse."
Guo Bing twisted his beard and said thoughtfully: "This is a way. But...she may not be willing to give face to Madam. Although there was a relationship before, it seems that it may not be like this. What if she is not willing?"
Lin Jue said slowly: "Concubine Rong will definitely be willing. I believe she is willing. If she is not willing, my son-in-law will have some ways to coerce her. Although it is a bit risky, at this juncture, there is not much to worry about. Even if
It’s a risk, and it’s worth taking.”
Guo Bing frowned and said: "Coercion? Why can't I understand what you are saying? What kind of riddles are you making?"
Lin Jue looked at Guo Bing and said: "Father-in-law, at this moment, do you still want to hide what happened to Concubine Rong? My son-in-law has a concubine named Lu Wu, and her appearance is 70% to 80% similar to that of Concubine Rong.
Similar. It is said that Concubine Rong gave birth to not a prince... but a baby girl... Having said this, my father-in-law, do you still want to pretend to be confused? "
Guo Bing was horrified and speechless for a long time. Will the secret buried many years ago finally be revealed to the world? Has Lin Jue actually found out all the secrets? Then does he also know?
What did he do in this matter back then and what was his ulterior purpose? Guo Bing suddenly felt powerless.
…
At noon, the big ship finally left the city of Hangzhou and entered the canal. At this time, there was one more person on the ship, and that was Princess Liang, the mother-in-law of the little princess. The princess was picked up by someone sent by Guo Bing, and she followed Lin Jue and others.
Go to Beijing for business. Guo Bing has to stay in Hangzhou to deal with the aftermath. He has to clean up his own impulsive behavior, write a confession, collect evidence of Kang Zizhen's misdeeds in Hangzhou according to Lin Jue's requirements, and prepare tens of thousands of blood letters as evidence
.These things will be prepared within three days, and then quickly sent to the capital, arriving together with Lin Jue and others after they arrive in the capital.
At noon, Lin Jue and his wife had a simple meal with the restless princess. Because the princess knew that what happened was important and was in a bad mood, she went back to her room to rest without even eating a few mouthfuls of food. The little princess followed her into the room.
Accompany her and persuade her.
Lin felt that his mind was complicated and he couldn't feel at ease. So he walked out of the cabin and went to the deck to watch the scenery and relax. It was nearly May, which was the season with the best scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. The dragon-headed ship was plowing through the waves on the river, and the greenery on both sides of the bank was sloping.
, the smoke and willows are like a painting. Along the coast, there are scattered villages and houses. On the canal waterway, there are white sails and blue waves. This scene is really like being in a painting. If it were normal, Lin Jue would see this situation
, or you can rack your brains to compose a song and recite a good sentence like "Huaizuo is the famous capital, Zhuxi is a beautiful place." However, at this moment, Lin Jue was not in the slightest mood. Because of this matter at the moment
Things are indeed too difficult.
A long time ago, Lin Jue fell into a dilemma. That was the rise and fall of Prince Liang's Mansion in his memory in his previous life. Although he was indifferent to many things in his previous life, some major events were still memorable. The fall of Prince Liang's Mansion.
, was also a major event that shocked the world at that time, how could Lin Jue not know about it. Just because it was not related to worldly affairs, he did not delve too much into the causes and consequences of this matter.
After his rebirth, Lin Jue thought about this problem seriously. As the prince of Zhou Dynasty, with a respected status, there are only a few reasons why the Liang Prince's Palace could encounter misfortune. Lin Jue believed that only things like conspiracy to usurp power could
The man on the throne would kill his relatives and completely wipe out Prince Liang's Mansion. However, during his contact with Prince Liang's Mansion, Lin Jue did not see how ambitious Prince Liang and his son were. Even if they had any, they were hidden deep in their hearts.
Outsiders have no way of knowing. They also have no actions or preparations for rebellion. Therefore, Lin Jue felt confused. What was the reason that led to the destruction of Prince Liang's Mansion?
It would be fine if Lin Jue had nothing to do with Prince Liang's Mansion. Just like in his previous life, the two sides were incompatible with each other. No one knew each other at all, and there was no close connection. Then Lin Jue did not need to delve into this matter. After all,
Every day, there will be people in the world who are unlucky, lose their heads, go bankrupt and lose their fortunes. The collapse of a high-rise banquet for guests has an inherent and uncontrollable law like the rise and fall of a dynasty. However, Lin Jue just followed
The Prince of Liang's Mansion was involved, and it was the closest kind. The little princess married her, and she became the son-in-law of Prince Liang's Mansion. This just happened. No matter how many times Lin Jue warned him to leave Liang,
The palace was further away, but after that night in the forest hut on a snowy night in Shangyuan, Lin Jue could not escape from this relationship.
In this case, Lin Jue naturally has to be wary of the ups and downs of the fate of Prince Liang's Mansion. The reason is simple. Prince Liang's Mansion will affect him, and he cannot sit back and watch the little princess's family be ruined. Therefore, Lin Jue is extremely cautious about observing such signs.
.
What happened today greatly increased Lin Jue's vigilance. Guo Bing impulsively killed Kang Zizhen, which Lin Jue had never expected. That day at Wangchao Tower, Lin Jue thought that Guo Bing's plan was just
, he rescued Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan by leaving a loophole, which led Kang Zizhen to board the ship to search. The aggrieved Kang Zizhen had nothing to say. The accusation of unprovoked offense against the prince and the princess was enough for him to drink a pot.
To control Kang Zizhen so that he never dares to make mistakes again, this is the ultimate goal.
There is no need to do anything to Kang Zizhen, you just need to draw attention to it and make a fuss about it.
Lin Jue spent a lot of effort on this, and even took the trouble to use the little princess's jade bracelet as bait to secretly steal Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan's marriage contract in order not to alert the snake. Naturally, the purpose of this was also
In order to implement the plan smoothly, it would not be impossible to steal it by force, but then Qian Zhongze would not ask Kang Zizhen for help, and the purpose of dealing with Kang Zizhen would not be achieved.
However, this careful design was ultimately ruined by Guo Bing's impulsiveness. If Qian Zhongze's death was unexpected, then Kang Zizhen's murder was an outcome that Lin Jue had never expected. The problem
Here, killing Kang Zizhen can naturally relieve his anger for a while, but the consequences must be extremely serious. Lin Jue is very worried that this matter will ferment and become uncontrollable. Nowadays, the reform faction has great power, and they are all at a disadvantage.
In the midst of the frenzy, no one knows how big a stir Kang Zizhen's death will cause.
If the emperor takes advantage of the situation and makes a big fuss out of this matter, and if the reformers, Lu Zhongtian and others add fuel to the flames, Guo Bing might actually lose his life. If he handles this matter improperly, for example, the equally impulsive Xiao
If Prince Guo Kun says any more radical words or takes any radical actions, it will more likely lead to consequences like landslides and tsunamis, leading to the destruction of Prince Liang's palace.
Lin Jue was even thinking. If this was the reason for the collapse of Prince Liang's palace, wouldn't it be that he had lit the fuse? Because he was the one who proposed the plan against Kang Zizhen to the prince, wouldn't it mean that he had caused Liang Zizhen's death?
The fall of the palace. He tried every possible means to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of the palace's destruction, but he personally caused this tragedy. Isn't that a confusing account and an incomprehensible ending?
Lin Jue couldn't let all this get out of hand, so he had to make amends. To this end, Lin Jue believed that he could make many unconventional responses, including even threatening Concubine Rong to help. But as a last resort, Lin Jue could not
Doing this. If Concubine Rong is really Lu Wu's mother, doing so is actually inappropriate. Moreover, in fact, Concubine Rong's matter is just speculation and has no evidence. The risk of doing so is also extremely high. However,
Judging from the reaction of the prince and his wife to this matter, Lin Jue felt that the prince and his wife must have known about this matter. The princess talked about some past events that day, but it was obvious that she only hit the point and there was not much useful information. These days
On the way, Lin Jue decided to get the truth about the matter from the princess. If real evidence was obtained, it would be very helpful in persuading Concubine Rong to intercede, and it would also make Lu Wu's life experience more clear.
