After thinking about it, Lin Jue thought that this might be because he was anxious. I don't know why, but now Lin Jue felt like a big stone was weighing on his heart, making him feel heavy and uncomfortable. He should be in a happy mood after returning to Beijing.
But I actually felt like there was something more in my heart. What it was exactly, I couldn't explain. Maybe it was the combined effect of several things that were accumulated in my heart. I don't know.
Lin Jue took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions, and reminded himself: You must not get confused, and solve things one by one. The more complicated the affairs, the more you need to calm down. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't put too much pressure on yourself,
Set the bar too high, just do your best and live up to your heart.
"Lin Jue, hahaha, where is Mr. Lin? I have been waiting for you for a long time. Hahaha." A burst of laughter came from outside, and then Ma Pijin quickly entered the public room and rushed to the inner room.
"Master Lin, Master Lin. The Privy Councilor has come to see you in person. Hurry up and go out to greet you." Ma Pijin said repeatedly, not forgetting to flatter him in a low voice: "Your Excellency, you are so proud. When Privy Council Yang heard this, Your Majesty
When I arrived, I immediately came to see you, which shows your position in Privy Yang's heart. I admire you, I admire you."
Lin Jue had no time to listen to his chatter, so he got up and hurried outside, only to see a group of officials saluting in panic. Who else could the tall and burly old man in purple robe standing at the screen be if he wasn't Yang Jun?
Lin Jue hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Lin Jue is here to see Privy Yang. How dare you bother Privy Yang to come in person? I should go see your lord."
Yang Jun looked at Lin Jue's eyes and laughed loudly and said: "Hey, what's the big deal? You've worked hard all the way, and I should come to see you. Didn't I order someone to inform you? You can rest for a day, tomorrow
It's not too late to come to the Privy Council in the morning. I didn't expect you to be so impatient and insist on coming in the afternoon."
Lin Jue bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Privy Master Yang, for your care. I don't dare to delay my official duties."
Yang Jun nodded and smiled: "Okay, okay. This is the attitude towards doing things. So I will be waiting for you in the afternoon."
Lin Jue said hurriedly: "Please take a seat quickly. Someone will come and make tea for Privy Yang."
Without Lin Jue's instructions, a group of officials were already busy making tea. In order to get the qualification to make tea for Privy Yang, several officials crowded together and almost started a silent fight. In the end, they were
Another man, the fisherman, took advantage and handed the tea to Yang Jun.
Yang Jun did not drink tea. After sitting down, he only looked at Lin Jue with bright eyes and said: "Mr. Lin, how is the current situation on the East and West Roads in Beijing? How is the post-war appeasement going? It should be progressing well."
Lin Jue bowed and said: "Replying to your lord, it went smoothly. Since the beginning of last month, Xiaguan has been carrying out pacification and remediation in more than ten counties and counties on the east and west roads of Jingjing. He organized a religious bandit confession preaching group and held more than 30 people's meetings to give his own testimony and expose the youth.
The fact that the religion poisons and confuses the people has a pretty good effect. The people in the East and West Roads of Beijing were not too deeply poisoned, and most of them have woken up with the help of emotion and reason. For example, in Shan County, the people spontaneously
More than 14,000 people signed a joint complaint and confession to the lower officials. This is almost half of the people in Shanxian County. From this, it can be seen that the effect of preaching and appeasing is quite good. Of course, if you want to be completely free in a short time
It is probably impossible to eradicate the gangsterism. But given time, the local government will follow up closely through control and propaganda methods. I believe that within half a year, everyone will be able to step out from the shadow of the Qingjiao."
"Okay, okay. I know that there will be absolutely no mistakes in what you do. Although the Youth Sect is destroyed, the poison is very harmful, so this matter is very important. If you can do this, most of the work of appeasing and dealing with the aftermath will be completed.
The local government should take responsibility for what happened next. Very good, very good. It lived up to the trust of the court. The emperor must be very happy to know this news. The emperor and I have talked about the gangsters and poisoning several times, and they both found it difficult.
If you are not careful, you will relapse, so the emperor must like to hear what you just said. You haven't gone to see the emperor yet." Yang Jun said with a smile.
Lin Jue said: "I have no intention of going to see the emperor. I just came back to Beijing to see Privy Minister Yang."
"Oh? Why is that? You are the imperial envoy to comfort you. Why don't you go to see the emperor when you return to the capital?" Yang Jun said with a smile.
"Why would Mr. Yang ask knowingly that Xiaguan is an imperial envoy to appease him? How can he return to his post if the pacification work has not been completed? The relief grain and materials that Mr. Yang promised to allocate to Xiaguan have not yet been fulfilled. Xiaguan is extremely anxious. People all over Jingdong are facing a crisis of food shortages.
In addition, winter has arrived. If people die due to hunger and cold, or there is another disaster, wouldn't it be worse? The official couldn't wait any longer and could not wait any longer, so he returned to Beijing privately, mainly to come here.
I'll ask the Lord about the situation." Lin Jue didn't intend to beat around the bush and said straightforwardly.
Yang Jun burst out laughing.
"Look, it seems that Mr. Lin is holding back some resentment in his heart. Did he come back to the capital to ask me to punish him?"
"How dare you, Xianguan? But Privy Yang promised Xiaguan at the beginning that he would ensure the supply of supplies. In addition, the reason why Xianguan was anxious was because the situation on the East and West Roads in Beijing was much worse than imagined. The rebellion of the bandits almost changed the local people.
They became extremely poor. The chaos during the summer and autumn also caused almost no harvest from the fields this year. The religious bandits destroyed a large amount of food supplies, and Yingtian's treasury was almost empty. The food supply may only be able to last until the end of this month. Once there is no food supply
, what will be the consequences? I really can’t imagine. That’s why Xianguan is very anxious. At present, everything must be done to stabilize the situation first, and no more troubles can occur. Otherwise, it is a trivial matter for Xianguan’s comfort envoy to neglect his duty, and the overall situation of the country is not
Turmoil is the big deal.”
Yang Jun looked at Lin Jue with a smile and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, don't get excited. I know all these situations. I also know that you are anxious. But do you think it is so easy to mobilize food supplies? There is a shortage of food everywhere now.
We are short of money, so I have to find food and supplies before I can fulfill my promise, right? Do you want me to chop up the bones, skin and flesh of this body and send it to you? That's not worth a few full meals for a few people."
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Didn't Privy Yang say at the beginning that he would allocate supplies from the army to me?"
Yang Jun smiled and said: "I did say it, but it was only under a last resort situation. Military supplies cannot be allocated easily. If there is chaos, it will be a hundred times more terrible than the chaos of the people. So I can't do this.
I have been looking for food and supplies for you since I returned to Beijing. Everyone said they were helpless and fought with me, but I couldn't do anything. Especially... As you know, the two adults, Yan Zhengshen and Fang Dunru, are holding their hands tightly.
Grain bags and money bags, if you want to get food from them, it will be harder than going to the sky."
"My lord, what you mean is that Lord Yan and Lord Fang actually refused to allocate food for relief? How is this possible? It is impossible for them not to know the importance of this matter." Lin Jue frowned.
Yang Jun chuckled and said: "Knowing is one thing, being willing is another. You may have heard of some things. After the rebellion of the religious bandits subsided, the entire court began to investigate those responsible for triggering the rebellion. Except for Liao
In addition to the instigation of others and the ambition of the bandits, the reason why the bandits took advantage of the loopholes was the new law implemented by Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. They took away the people's wealth and hurt the people's hearts, so that the people lost favor with the imperial court. Qing
The teacher took advantage of the opportunity to win people's hearts and instigated chaos. You and I have talked about these, and you don't deny it. Naturally, the emperor and the officials in the court saw it clearly. When it comes time to hold people accountable, they will naturally point the finger.
Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru. But guess what? Not only did these two people show no remorse and refused to apologize and admit guilt, they instead went to bewitch the emperor and asked him to come out and issue a self-incriminating edict. They put all the blame on the emperor.
On the body, you say, is this the work of loyal ministers? It is extremely infuriating. Everyone, including me, is filled with righteous indignation. The accusations against them from all parties can be said to be sharp and merciless. These two people do not think about their own
It's their fault, but they are very hostile to us. The relief grain you requested has never been allocated. I think it may be their method. Relying on the emperor's trust in them to protect them. Relying on the financial power in their hands, they deliberately blocked the work of various departments.
neck, in retaliation for everyone's impeachment against them. It's because they don't want to allocate relief food and grass, but it's not because I broke my promise. Do you understand?"
Lin Jue's brows knitted into a knot. The more he listened, the more he felt that it didn't sound right. Yang Jun's words seemed to blame Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu for the failure to allocate relief food materials in time. Moreover, the method was not clever.
It is said that Yan Fang and Yan Fang were dissatisfied with the impeachment of the officials, so they had a desire for revenge and used their power to choke other people's necks.
Based on Lin Jue's understanding of Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu, how could such a thing happen? Although Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are stubborn and stubborn, even unreasonable and sometimes unreasonable, these two people will never do it.
Taking advantage of the interests of the imperial court and doing things for personal gain. Loyalty to the country may not be considered, but the heart of serving the court wholeheartedly is unquestionable. Lin Jue blamed Yan Fang and his wife for this incident.
I won't believe it even to death.
However, what was Yang Jun's purpose for doing this? This made Lin Jue feel a little confused.
"Sir, what do you mean, I am going back to Jingbai this time? If we can't get relief food and materials, how can I still be a comfort messenger? Doesn't this make me unable to fulfill my duty?" Lin Jue frowned.
Yang Jun smacked his lips and said, "Why don't you go find Fang Dunru and ask him for food and supplies? Didn't you have a master-disciple relationship? Maybe if you go to him and ask him, he won't refuse you. Of course not.
It's all based on affection. Although you are a member of my Privy Council, you are also an imperial envoy and comfort envoy. There are many things that I can't come forward for, but you can. You go to ask for food and supplies as an imperial envoy and comfort envoy.
Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng may agree. If not, you can report the matter to the emperor when you see him. If the emperor speaks, they will not dare to shirk the blame. What do you think of doing this?"
