Lin Jue frowned and pondered. He was trying hard to understand the motivation and intention behind Yang Jun's words. If Yan Zhengshen and Fang Dunru were really stuck in not allocating food and supplies, it would be reasonable to go to them and ask for it by themselves. But I'm afraid that the matter is
It's not that simple. Considering the current situation in the court, hundreds of officials launched an impeachment against Fang Dunru, Yan Zhengsheng, but failed, and the emperor issued a guilty edict to take all the blame on himself. As well as Yang Jun's position, it is against Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru.
Dun Ru's attitude. Taken together, all these factors gave Lin Jue the feeling that Yang Jun seemed to be encouraging him to make the matter bigger by borrowing food supplies. It would be best to go to the emperor.
If Fang Dunru's former disciples and recent meritorious ministers of the imperial court were allowed to quarrel with Yan Fang and the two, it would set off a new wave of impeachment against Yan Fang and the two. This time the impeachment would be more specific, pretending to be public and serving private interests.
Power makes it impossible to carry out relief and comfort tasks, causing the hidden worry of another disaster. This is already a problem related to the character and personality of Yan Fang. Once they have this understanding, it is self-evident whether they are still qualified for high positions.
Metaphorical.
Playing with power and not matching morality, he will naturally step down. He ignores the hidden worries of the chaos, but echoes the reasons for the previous wave of Qingjiao rebellion. It fully shows that Yan Fang and his two people do not care about the overall situation of the court at all, and only think about themselves.
A person who is unfaithful, unjust, and without virtue.
Lin Jue had a layer of white hair sweat on his body. Although he was mentally prepared for the current situation in the capital, he did not expect that he had just returned to the capital and seemed to be immediately involved. Yang Jun was immediately involved when he met him.
He dug a hole for himself to jump into, which seemed very urgent. This showed that the battle in the court had entered a white-hot stage. This was also different from his first reaction when he heard the little princess not long ago saying that the emperor issued an edict to punish oneself.
Conspiring together.
The Sinji Edict seemed to have settled the dispute, but in fact it just put a lid on the boiling magma. Under the lid, the magma surged and boiled, and its power accumulated became more intense and powerful. Once it bursts out, it would definitely be
The power to destroy everything.
Yang Jun wants to trick himself into being the one who lifts the lid.
Yang Jun stared at Lin Jue with twinkling eyes. He witnessed the whole process from Lin Jue's frown to relaxed, with a smile on his lips. He thought that Lin Jue agreed to his suggestion, so he took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire.
.
"Lin Jue, you have a good chance to return to Beijing this time. Water transportation from various places is arriving one after another. This year's water transportation has increased a lot compared with previous years. Therefore, you can definitely afford the relief food from the east and west roads of Beijing. For you, this is a good opportunity
Good news. You have done your job as the imperial pacifier properly, which is another great achievement. The emperor will definitely reward you again. I am a person who protects your shortcomings, and I will definitely say a few good words for you. I guess you
The position of the hostess will soon be moved up again. With your ability, it is not an exaggeration to promote you to my deputy to the Privy Council. I also want to train a successor who can control the army in the future.
Why can't this person be you? If you go to ask for food, and water transport arrives, they can't excuse themselves by saying they don't have food. Once the food is available, the relief mission will be more than half successful, and the pacification envoy's mission will be more than half successful.
Don't worry, even if you can't ask for it, I will squeeze out the food from my teeth and give it to you. But that's a last resort. So, don't worry."
Lin Jue wanted to laugh out loud. Yang Jun was treating him like a three-year-old child. He drew a big pie out of thin air for himself and asked himself to jump into the pit he dug for this piece of pie. Yang Jun was doing this because of impeachment.
Confused by failure? How come his IQ has become so low? Does he really think that he can't see through his intentions? Didn't he say that he is a talented person? How come he treats himself as an idiot? Who is the idiot?
Is it me or him?
"Your Excellency, how dare you think of anything wrong? It's just a matter of loyalty to the emperor. In fact, I don't want to take the position of pacifier. It's not the emperor who has given the decree. I can't think of it.
I can only do it reluctantly. In fact, this time Xiaguan also suffered a lot and tried every means. He knew that due to lack of talent and experience, things were not done perfectly. When he returned to Beijing this time, Xiaguan actually wanted to make it clear to the emperor.
His own shortcomings. Alas, just because of this food issue, Xianguan was helpless. Just now, Xianguan thought about it and decided to go to the emperor to admit his incompetence and ask for someone else to send someone wise. The matter of appeasement and relief is so important, if
If it falls into the hands of the official, the consequences will be disastrous. Mr. Yang, do you think that the official has considered it correctly? The official has no qualifications to begin with, and this time I can only live up to the emperor's expectations. I resigned from the post of comfort envoy to save the corpse.
, spoiled the important affairs of the imperial court." Lin Jue smacked his lips and sighed.
"What?" Yang Jun looked at Lin Jue in shock. He did not expect that Lin Jue would actually have the idea of retreating and actually want to resign his official position as the pacifier to the emperor. This was a result he never expected.
"You are destroying your own future. Doesn't your words make the emperor extremely disappointed in you? Then will you make any progress in the future? Isn't this a joke? How can you do this? Are you crazy?" Yang Jun shouted
.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Master Yang, Xiaguan is actually a person with no ambitions. He just wants to go about his life. I don't think about what will happen in the future. I don't have the ability. Even Master Yang has to provide food relief.
No, I will definitely not come if I go. In this case, why should I go to the trouble? I saw my son this morning, he is only a few months old. I used to like to wander around outside, but now I don’t want to anymore
I went back to Beijing's East and West Road. The relief and comfort work will take half a year to complete. I don't want to miss my son's growth process. I have to accompany him to grow up slowly. Originally, I had no reason to quit the comfort job, but
Now that you have no food for me, I have a reason. I told the emperor that Mr. Yang has no food in his hands. It is difficult for me, a clever woman, to make a meal without rice. In addition, my conscious ability is limited, so I have asked someone to be wise. Do you think the emperor will know what I say?
Will you agree?"
Yang Jun couldn't hide his anger on his face. He had to grow up with his son? What the hell is this damn reason? He actually said in front of the emperor that he didn't give him food. Didn't he tell the emperor that he had guaranteed it for him?
It was his own fault for not cashing in? What a bastard. Not only did this kid not fall for the trick, he actually tried to beat him up, which is simply disgusting.
"Lin Jue, I advise you to think carefully before making a decision. If you find it difficult to ask Yan Fang for food and supplies, I can help you think of another way. But you must not be so self-defeating. This is about your whole life.
future. I advise you like this out of my love for you, I hope you think about it carefully." Yang Jun said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue scratched his head and said: "That's what your Excellency said, so I will think about it carefully. If I still can't get food supplies by tomorrow, I will resign and make way for someone better, so as not to delay the people's relief."
Yang Jun snorted coldly, stood up and came over: "Well, let's do that. I still have business, so you can get familiar with the situation here, and I won't accompany you anymore."
Lin Jue hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please do as you please. I'm delaying you."
Yang Jun walked away with a flick of his sleeves, and Lin Jue said to the back of his head: "By the way, sir, there is something that I haven't reported yet. The bandit leader Hai Dongqing, I was supposed to escort him back to Beijing this time, but in Yingtian Mansion he tried to
He escaped from prison and was killed by soldiers on the spot. I have to report this to your Excellency. It's not that I broke my promise, but that this guy was looking for death. Then I have no choice."
Yang Jun stopped in shock, and when he turned his head, his eyes were full of anger.
When leaving the Privy Council Room, Lin Jue was actually not happy at all. Although he had skillfully jumped out of the pit dug by Yang Jun, Lin Jue was still a little depressed.
Lin Jue had no ill feelings towards Yang Jun at all, and even felt some gratitude and respect. What he was grateful for was that Yang Jun could understand what he did in the battle of Xingren Mansion and could speak for him. What he admired was that he was the chief of Xingren Mansion.
After the conversation, Lin Jue felt that Yang Jun was at least a clear-headed person. He was able to risk the world's disapproval and issue an extermination order, and his behavior of disregarding his personal reputation for the long-term stability of the Zhou Dynasty made Lin Jue feel that he had a long-term perspective and understood the overall situation.
in general.
Compared with others, at least Yang Jun knew what he was doing.
But Yang Jun's behavior today made Lin Jue very disappointed. As a person in a high position, he should at least behave openly and not do those sneaky things. If Yang Jun could clearly say today that he wants Lin Jue to go
What to do is as straightforward as when Yang Jun warned Lin Jue not to stand in the wrong team at the top of Xingrenfu City. Then even if Lin Jue doesn't want to do it, he will still respect Yang Jun in his heart.
But he chose a way of digging a hole, a way of tricking himself into being fooled, and encouraging himself to do what he wanted without knowing it. This definitely made Lin Jue feel that his intelligence was insulted, and he also felt that
Very disappointed.
The court's behavior has its own bottom line, and this bottom line is mostly reflected in the behavior of senior executives. For example, if a monarch and his ministers have high-ranking ministers who uphold their integrity and act with integrity, then the political atmosphere of the entire court will generally not be the same.
It will go astray. Because there are both role models and constraints. On the contrary, once the behavior of those in high positions loses the bottom line and rules, the political atmosphere of the entire court will be corrupted. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
, that’s what it means.
Before that, Lin Jue believed that the reason why the Zhou Dynasty could barely maintain its existence was because those in high positions had a bottom line in their actions and knew what to do and what not to do. But the Qingjiao rebellion refreshed Lin Jue's mind.
Lin Jue felt from the beginning that the sudden chaos in the Qingjiao was related to the fact that some people issued orders to intensify the conflicts. If the imperial court did not send the imperial army to take the Mo family and his wife to Changheng County to pronounce the verdict in public, and
It was because he knew that the Qingjiao had become a big trend and chose to prepare secretly and catch them all in one fell swoop. He would never let the Qingjiao swarm up in a short period of time and catch the imperial court by surprise.
And the person who did this happened to be a person in a high position in the imperial court. This has to be said to be the tragedy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
