Lin Jue was stunned and said with a smile: "Privy Yang, I'm not very good at talking, and this matter is... a bit sensitive. I'm afraid that if I say something carelessly, I might make you unhappy. I don't need to ask you.
Let’s take a look.”
Yang Jun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I won't blame you. Although I don't care about other people's opinions, I really want to know your opinions. Although what you did in Yingtian Mansion was not as bloody and cruel as what I did back then, but
I can also see that you are not a pedantic person, and you do not stick to the constraints of benevolence, justice and morality. Because of this, I want to hear your opinion. There are some things that only people who understand can have some common words.
Even if you have other opinions, I won’t be surprised. Don’t I even have such a small amount of tolerance?”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "That's not what I mean. In that case, I will be bold enough to say it."
Yang Jun nodded, walked to a city brick under the battlement, lifted up the hem of his armor and sat down, pointed at another stone brick and said with a smile: "Come on, sit down and talk. The wind at the top of the city is very strong, I am blowing and my ears are whistling.
My mouth is dry. After all, it’s not what it was back then, I’m getting old.”
Lin Jue thanked him, sat cross-legged on the stone bricks, thought for a while, and said in deep thought: "Master Yang, I will tell you the truth. I have heard about what Master Yang did in Xixia back then. Your Excellency wants to solve all the problems in Xixia."
In order to solve the problem of frequent rebellions in the army, he did something unusual. From this perspective, I think it is effective and resolute. Facts have also proved that your decision has indeed stabilized the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For decades, I have to thank you all for this. Your Excellency has the courage to bear the blame and incomprehension of the world. This kind of courage and courage is the first person I have ever seen."
Yang Jun laughed loudly and said: "Okay, hahaha. I hope you didn't say anything against your will just to please me. I don't think this was something you said against your will. As I said before, you and I are both sensible people.
.If you were in my position at that time, you might do the same thing, right?"
Lin Jue shook his head slowly and said: "If we change places, I'm afraid I won't do that."
Yang Jun was stunned and frowned: "Oh? You won't do that? Do you just let it go? Or wait for them to rebel and then calm down? Repeatedly, tired of coping? Sooner or later, they will defeat you. Once defeated, Xixia
It will be completely gone. They will become a country on their own again, and they will become a trouble for me in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Are you willing to accept such a result?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "Master Yang, I will not ignore this. Xixia is an inseparable part of our Zhou Dynasty. This is the bottom line and cannot be relaxed at all. The main reason is that the people in this land are unwilling to surrender, which is why we have such a situation."
It will be a lot of trouble. But if we let it go, we will lose the country and the land that our ancestors inherited, and we will be the sinners of the world. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Yang Jun chuckled and said: "This is true. The founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty once said: Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is large, no inch of land is redundant. No inch of land is allowed to be lost or occupied. This is the responsibility of every citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Responsibility. But you said that I don’t need to use my method. How can you solve the trouble of Xixia’s frequent rebellions?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "With all due respect, your actions are too violent and brutal, so they will attract a lot of opposition and attacks. However, I recognize the direction and goal of your work. What you mean is nothing more than a sense of inner recognition.
Making a fuss. Those party members who have formed fixed ideas, the adults' choice is to kill them, because it is too difficult to change their ideas. As for those children, the adults want to change them from an early age and let them become members of the Great Zhou.
There is no longer any thought of rebellion against the Great Zhou Dynasty. The lower official called this approach assimilation. It means turning them into us, and destroying those who cannot become us. In the end, all that is left are us, so this is a difficult problem.
It’s solved easily.”
"That's good, keep talking." Yang Jun smiled and nodded.
Lin Juegong cupped his hands and continued: "I believe that your thoughts and goals are correct, but the means of implementation are too radical. Perhaps because it was a war, the means used by your Lord were to cut through the knot with a sharp knife. If you look carefully
Think about it, maybe there is another more perfect way."
Yang Jun frowned and said solemnly: "What a perfect way? Then I will listen with all my ears."
Lin Juedao: "The imperial court's goal is nothing more than to stabilize Xixia and maintain long-term peace and order. But to achieve this, it is obviously impossible to rely on force and massacre. Otherwise, rebellions would not occur repeatedly and the imperial court would be overwhelmed. The reason why the various tribes of Xixia
I think there are two reasons why they are unwilling to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty. First, since ancient times, the foreign tribes have been hanging outside the Central Plains and have been culturally rejected by the Central Plains. Their hostility has been long-standing and deep-rooted. They have no love for the Central Plains in their hearts.
They also have a sense of belonging, and they also have discrimination and hostility in the Zhou Dynasty. Secondly, the Dangxiang people and other foreign races all live in a cold and barren land. Their life is difficult and difficult, and survival is not easy. As the saying goes, "the people in the warehouse know the etiquette", even the rice
They don't have enough to eat, and they don't even have warm clothes to wear. Talking to them about world harmony and benevolence and morality is a lot of nonsense. And once you live without security, you will covet the precious land and have the desire to rob it. This is the result of human nature.
Not only our great Zhou Dynasty, but also the previous dynasties of Han and Tang dynasties fought against the foreign races in the north. Part of the reason was that they coveted the prosperity and prosperity of our Central Plains and wanted to rob the wealth and change their current situation."
Yang Jun twirled his long beard, nodded deeply and said in deep thought: "It makes sense, it makes perfect sense. Although the reason may not be just the two points you mentioned, the main reason is probably this. If you continue to talk, I really want to
Let’s hear your countermeasures.”
Lin Jue nodded and continued: "Thank you for the compliment, sir. To sum up, in order to achieve long-term peace and stability in Xixia, we need to start from the root cause. There are many reasons, and these have been formed for a long time and cannot be solved overnight. So I want to change it.
It seems very difficult and requires a long period of management. If your Excellency wants to solve this problem once and for all, the easiest way to think of is probably to kill all the party members, cut off their stems, dig up their roots, and completely eliminate them. Therefore, Your Excellency will issue an order to those who are suffering.
The controversial 'Extermination Order'. But your Excellency may not have thought about the big problems behind this. What I'm talking about is not a debate about morality and ethics, but I want to tell you that there have been few rebellions in Xixia in the past ten years, but the conflicts between both sides
The hatred is deepening instead of alleviating. As time goes by, it will surely resurge, burning vigorously and turning the sky to darkness. The previous order can be said to be drinking poison to quench thirst."
Yang Jun's face turned ugly. No one dared to criticize the extermination order in front of him. In Yang Jun's heart, the extermination order was the most decisive thing he had ever done in his life, and it was also a great contribution to the imperial court. Today Lin Jue
To say that the Extermination Order was just a matter of drinking poison to quench thirst would be to completely deny this proud thing of his. However, Yang Jun also felt that Lin Jue's words were not random accusations. Everything he said was reasonable, and he seemed unable to refute it.
to him.
Lin Jue didn't pay attention to Yang Jun's face and continued to say in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about human ethics. What I want to say is that by doing this, you actually set a very bad example, so that the surrounding aliens will never be able to treat me.
The Great Zhou people are of the same mind. From now on, they will always be hostile to and guard against me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and will never be able to submit to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because they will learn a lesson from this matter and know that I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will not risk their lives.
It's the same thing. If I were to give a judgment on this matter, I would describe it in one sentence: To achieve temporary quickness, gain temporary peace, and ruin the great cause of the future, this is an act that outweighs the gains and losses."
"Bold!" Yang Jun couldn't listen anymore and stood up and shouted angrily: "Good boy, are you scolding me in front of me? Others only say that I have lost my conscience and corrupted my morals. It would be better for you to say that to me.
You are a sinner for the ages, and it is me, Yang Junzhi, who refuses to submit to other races in the future. Your hat is not small, do you want me, Yang Jun, to be infamy for thousands of years?"
Lin Jue hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Sir Yang, please calm down. I am not blaming you for your fault, I am just discussing the matter. Didn't you say before that you allow me to speak freely?"
Yang Jun's face turned purple, but he couldn't refute it. He did say before that he wouldn't blame Lin Jue for saying anything, but those were just polite words. He thought Lin Jue would not be disrespectful. Unexpectedly, this kid actually accused him face to face.
It would be too upright to do it yourself.
"Besides, this matter is not your fault. It has been more than eighty years since the imperial court recovered Xixia. The imperial court should have made arrangements to resolve this matter early. But the imperial court has never done anything on this matter, which led to the later
The situation is out of control. The fault lies not with Privy Yang, but with the imperial court itself." Lin Jue continued.
Yang Jun laughed angrily, pointed at Lin Jue and said: "Are you going to blame the imperial court for this matter again? It seems that you will bite everyone. You are so bold. Do you mean that the previous emperors are responsible?
"
Lin Jue frowned and said: "If you have a fault, you have a fault. Can't you say that you can't say it? Even if it is the imperial court, should it conceal its faults? Covering up mistakes is not the most harmful thing. It does not harm personal conduct, but it does not affect the governance of the country.
That is definitely not a trivial matter. If we had planned and solved it early, I am afraid that the Xixia incident would have been solved long ago."
Yang Jun sneered and said: "Okay, then I want to hear what you have to say. You said you have a perfect solution, but I haven't heard the solution you mentioned yet. Just keep talking."
Lin Jue smacked his lips and said: "That's all, Mr. Yang will get angry again soon, so I'd better shut up. I don't want to offend you. Your Excellency protected me and transferred me to serve in the Privy Council. I just entered the Privy Council and offended my boss.
,How can I still hang out in the future?"
Yang Jun was angry and funny, and this guy spoke very directly. He really touched his own nerves just now, and it really made him angry. But he didn't have to appear so inconsiderate. This was just a private conversation. Lin Jue spoke in front of him.
Speaking in front of him was much better than those who criticized and commented behind his back. Moreover, what he said actually touched Yang Jun a lot, especially the height from which he stood, which made Yang Jun admire him. Lin felt that he was standing at the height of the overall situation, and
It’s not just about Xixia. What he said about Xixia will affect the attitude and decision-making of the surrounding small countries towards the Zhou Dynasty, and will affect the realization of the highest dream of unifying the world. It is very reasonable. It is not true.
