The ninth forty-ninth chapter is full of melancholy
Lin Jue's letter reminded Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng to make early plans. Lin Jue's suggestion was that the two should take the initiative to confess the shortcomings of the new law to the emperor in advance, use retreat as an opportunity to advance, and take effective remedial measures to the new law to change the situation.
From passive to active. Because only by letting the emperor firmly support the two of them, may this storm be effectively calmed down. They need to win the emperor's understanding and actually make changes to the new law. Lin Jue reminded Fang Dunru,
This time someone is going to make a big fuss out of this, because some people have just experienced a failure in counterinsurgency, and they need to regain their position, control the right to speak, and divert attention. So they must not take it lightly.
Fang Dunru was angry and funny after reading this letter. Ever since he was expelled from his school, ever since the Lin family came to the Yamen and insulted him, he and Lin Jue had already broken off their friendship and had no contact with each other. Lin Jue wrote this at the moment
The letter seemed to be filled with concern and good intentions, but this concern and good intentions made Fang Dunru feel uncomfortable.
Fang Dunru thought that although Lin Jue's reminder was with good intentions, how could Fang Dunru accept his kindness? The smarter he reminded him, the more he refused to listen to his remarks. In the final analysis, he still
Sticking to his previous point of view when he turned against himself, he still believed that the new law had obvious shortcomings and needed to be improved. He just used this matter to reiterate his point of view.
Moreover, Fang Dunru has always firmly believed that even if the reform has drawbacks and some accidents occur, it is the only way to go on the road to reform. There is no reform that can be achieved overnight. This is the ups and downs that the reform has to go through. The emperor must
You will understand this, and there is no need to explain it. Lin Jue wants himself and Yan Zhengshen to plead guilty to the emperor, which is simply ridiculous. What crime do he and Yan Zhengshen have? Isn't asking for guilt a confession that the rebellion started because of the new law? Isn't it true?
Instead, someone took advantage of him? Lin felt that this was pointing him to a dead end. He didn't expect this person to be so vicious.
The more Fang Dunru thought about it, the angrier he became. So, the letter that Lin Jue had stayed up all night to write quickly turned into pieces in the paper basket in Fang Dunru's hands. Lin Jue thought about it carefully and twisted it.
The countermeasures he had tried his best to come up with for them were thrown out of mind and regarded as a plan to harm people. Fang Dunru didn't even mention the content of the letter to Yan Zhengsheng because he thought it was humiliating.
One thing. I was humiliated by a letter written by my former disciple, how could I mention it?
But in the next few days, the reminders in Lin Jue's letter began to come true one by one. As if the whole thing was proceeding according to Lin Jue's prediction, Lu Zhongtian, Wu Chunlai and others began to fiercely criticize the new method for themselves and Master Yan.
.The criticism this time was obviously more fierce than the attacks they had suffered so far. Although Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu were calm on the surface, they actually felt that this time was different from the past. Lu Zhongtian personally went to battle, and hundreds of officials inside and outside the capital signed a petition.
The momentum of impeachment proceedings cannot be underestimated.
Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng adopted the approach of silence. They knew that as long as there was an exchange of words, it would be an endless debate. And in the last impeachment of Ten Sinshu, they had already made
Response. It would be superfluous to say more at this moment. Besides, both of them knew in their hearts that there was a relationship between the rebellion and the new law. The more they debated, the more this was exposed. So they did not respond and remained silent.
That's the best strategy.
However, the evolution of the matter has not calmed down. Until today, when Privy Councilor Yang Jun expressed his stance, Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu finally realized how serious the matter had become. All the forces in the DPRK and China had completed a coalition.
The reform faction has been completely isolated. The two core organizations of the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall have finally reached a consensus on opposing the reform, which means that the vast majority of officials in the court will stand on their opposite side. So, what is the emperor's intention here?
Can you withstand this situation?
A few days ago, Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsun were summoned into the palace. Guo Chong showed them a thick stack of documents on the impeachment memorial against the two of them and the attack on the new law. At that time, Guo Chong's eyes were bright and clear.
Tell himself and Yan Zhengshu that he will firmly support them. Let them not worry and concentrate on their work. Guo Chong also quoted the words of Mencius to encourage the two of them, "When heaven is about to give a big task to a person, he must first work hard and work hard."
Words such as "bones and bones, hungry body and skin, empty body" really gave the two people who were a little uneasy a shot in the arm. But now, the situation has been greatly different. The reason why the Holy Spirit left the court in a hurry today was because of Yang Jun's
Expressing his stance. This shows that the Holy Emperor was actually panicked, and he could not face the situation in front of him, so he subconsciously chose to escape.
The Holy Father announced a ten-day suspension of court to recuperate, which seemed to be a delaying measure. But it also showed the hesitation and wavering in the Holy Spirit's heart. If the Holy Spirit really still firmly supports the reform and himself and Yan Zhengsheng, he should clearly state his attitude. Today from
The imperial edict coming out of the palace was not a decree to recuperate and recuperate from the imperial court, but to give the final word, to express the attitude, and to silence all the accusations against the new law and himself and Lord Yan. Of course, asking the emperor to do this seems to be too demanding.
After all, it was the statement of Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun, and the emperor could not fail to consider it. But after dark today, he and Yan Zhengsu were rejected when they entered the palace to meet the emperor, which somewhat explained something. They did not want to enter in the first place.
However, when they heard that Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun were summoned to the palace to have an audience, they decided to go to the palace to have an audience. But they were rejected. What does this mean?
Under the cold waning moon, Fang Dunru stood in the wind and thought for a long time. His hands and feet were cold, and his heart was also cold. After so many things happened, he realized that the reminder in Lin Jue's letter was
It makes sense. If he had known that things would develop to this point, he should have communicated with the emperor in advance about the Qingjiao rebellion as suggested in Lin Jue's letter. Lin Jue only asked them to admit their mistakes to the emperor, not to the world.
People admit their mistakes. The emperor will understand them. This is the root of the problem.
Moreover, some measures should be taken earlier to fine-tune the new laws and regulations in a timely manner. Doing this before impeachment and doing this after being impeached are two completely different concepts. I have done it before, and it is right.
Conveniently, I lost a point of attack, but now I have done it, but I have an extra handle. Why don't I trust Lin Jue? Think about it carefully, except for the fact that he disagrees with me on the reform, all his actions can be
They are not disrespectful to themselves. Why do I hold a grudge against him and have a great feeling of hatred for him? Fang Dunru recalled the scenes of his interactions with Lin Jueen in his heart.
, he had already deliberately blocked the memory of Lin Jue in his mind. Because every time he thought of Lin Jue, he would be angry, sad, and regretful. He had to admit that it was actually him who drove Lin Jue out of the door.
It was a way to force Lin Jue. He thought that if he did this, Lin Jue would turn around obediently, beg for mercy from him, and change his mind. However, things were self-defeating and pushed Lin Jue far away. If Fang Dunru had not given birth to
Regret is inappropriate. The reason why he doesn't want to mention Lin Jue or recall him is because he feels guilty in his heart.
Xue Qian, an old friend from Songshan Academy, wrote to him and scolded him. Yan Zhengsheng also disapproved of his actions. His wife accused him of being heartless and unjust every time he quarreled over this matter. So many people around him cared about him the most.
How could Fang Dunru not reflect on the opposition of others? But he was a man, a teacher, and a face-saving Fang Dunru, so how could he lose such a tone? Maybe Lin Jue thought so in his heart, and so did he.
To save face. Therefore, the two of them drifted apart, and because they were annoyed and angry, he imprisoned Lin Jue that time, which intensified the conflict. He knew that he could never let Lin Jue come back to his side.
.
In the current matter, I once again made the mistake of being emotional. Looking back on Lin Jue's letter, I must have gotten some news beforehand, so I wrote to remind myself to be on guard. However, I misinterpreted his good intentions.
Fang Dunru was a little disappointed with himself. This was the first time he had such an emotion. You must know that Fang Dunru is an extremely confident person. He has strong confidence in everything he does. Only
Regarding Lin Jue, I felt disappointed and regretful.
The sound of rustling footsteps came from behind, awakening Fang Dunru from his deep emotions. Fang Dunru turned around and saw a delicate figure walking towards the room. There was a small table behind him.
There is a pot of hot tea and a plate of snacks on the table.
Fang Dunru called softly: "Qiu'er."
The figure stopped, slowly turned his head, and said softly: "Dad, the weather is cold and the night is cold. Drink some tea to warm yourself up. And... you should go to bed early."
Fang Dunru nodded and said: "Dad will go to bed soon. Why are you still not asleep yet? Is your mother asleep?"
Fang Huanqiu said softly: "Mom and I were chatting. Mom asked me to make tea for daddy. She came to visit a few times and saw that daddy was thinking about something, so she didn't disturb him."
Fang Dunru nodded, feeling warm in his heart. At this time, his wife and daughter still felt sorry for him. Although the relationship between his wife and him was very cold now, because he spent most of his time in the Yamen, Mrs. Fang slept until the end of the night.
In Qiu's room, even if she went home, Mrs. Fang didn't want to go back to her room to sleep. In fact, the two of them had already slept separately. Huanqiu and she basically had nothing to say. When she saw her, other than saluting, she would
He didn't talk much anymore and just hid in his room writing and drawing all day long. As soon as he went to take a look, he would immediately put it away as if to guard against thieves. Fang Dunru himself felt very boring. The atmosphere at home was very deserted. However,
After all, they are their relatives. They are the only ones who care about them.
