Shen Tan, who was already a little confused about Lin Jue's thoughts, couldn't help it anymore and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, this seems to be unconsidered. This matter was done by King Huai. If you kidnap Lu Tianci, wouldn't you also involve Lu Zhongtian?" Come in. Doesn't Lu Zhongtian just want to retire? This is a move that seeks death. Please think carefully."
Ma Bin also said in astonishment: "Yes, why did you tie up that dandy Lu Tianci? Didn't you offend Lu Zhongtian in vain? That would be more difficult to deal with than having an enemy with Huai Wang Guo Xu."
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "You think this matter has nothing to do with Lu Zhongtian? That's a big mistake. Most likely, Lu Zhongtian knew about this matter. I even suspect that Lu Zhongtian instigated Guo Xu to do this. Based on my understanding and contact with Guo Xu, I don’t think he would do such a despicable and despicable thing. Only those old and cunning people would do such despicable and despicable things. In order to seize the throne of the prince, Lu Zhongtian was originally Guo The most powerful supporter behind Xu was that he was the only one who could come up with and encourage Guo Xu to do this. There is a high probability that Lu Zhongtian is the mastermind behind this matter."
Ma Bin and Shen Tan frowned and said nothing.
Lin Jue continued: "I know that kidnapping Lu Tianci will anger Lu Zhongtian, and I don't want to break up with him so early. However, I have no choice. I just said that people who care about Guo Xu can't do it. I think To exchange hostages, there must be someone suitable as a hostage. This person must be someone Guo Xu has to save before he has to exchange. Lu Tianci just meets this standard. Maybe Guo Xu will not save this dude. Uncle, but don’t forget that Lu Zhongtian only has one son, and Lu Zhongtian will definitely care about his son’s life. Furthermore, from an operational point of view, this can be done. They may have thought that we would break into the palace and forcibly Rescue Lu Wu and Xiao Hu, so they will strengthen their vigilance to prevent us from succeeding. But what they never expected was that I would attack Lu Tianci, a seemingly unrelated person. Lu Tianci was showing off in the market every day, and he acted even more It's easier. This is one of the reasons why I locked him."
Shen Tan and Ma Bin had to admit that Lin Jue's thoughts were meticulous and his thinking was impeccable. Even if Guo Xu had to take precautions at the moment, he was vigorously guarding against the people in his palace. He would never have thought that Lin Jue would take action on Lu Tianci. And Lu Tianci Once caught, Lu Zhongtian will do whatever it takes to rescue Lu Tianci, even forcing Guo Xu to release him. This strategy will lead to an attack on the north and an attack on the east. If successful, it will have immediate results.
"But...Brother Lin, with this, you and Lu Zhongtian will officially become enemies, and it will be very difficult for you to go down the road from now on. Now that your career has just improved, you have seriously offended him. You don't know when you will A disaster has befallen you. After all, Lu Zhongtian only needs to slander you a few words in front of the emperor, and you will be unable to bear it. I admit that this plan may succeed, but the cost is too high. Can we think of other ways? " Shen Tan's words were mature and prudent, and his thoughts were more thoughtful. After all, in this way, Lin Jue might not even be able to hold an official position in the future, let alone develop.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "It's not just a day or two that Lu Zhongtian wants to deal with me. It's just that in his eyes, I'm just an ant, and he doesn't bother to deal with me personally. But I just analyzed that he must be behind this incident." Because, so it’s not that I want to fall out with him, but that he wants to deal with me and seriously offended me, so I will fight back. I am not afraid of standing on the opposite side with him in the future, because we have actually broken up. I was As the eldest prince, even if there is no immediate matter, do you think he will let me go? I already understand some of the things here. Sometimes, it's not that you don't have a choice, but you don't dare to choose. Everyone hopes to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and avoid conflicts with high-ranking people in the DPRK. Even if they bully you and shit on you, many people choose to tolerate it. But I am Lin Jue, I am not them, I have my own bottom line."
Shen Tan and Ma Bin listened silently and carefully to Lin Jue's words, thoughtfully. If we talk about the gap between themselves and Lin Jue, intelligence is one aspect, but the most important thing is the kind of courage to act. Courage. This is clearly demonstrated by Lin Jue, a seemingly weak scholar. Maybe you can make plans if you are full of ideas, but if you don’t dare to take the first step, then all the excellent qualities are equal to zero. Just like Lin Jue said at the beginning The same things he did seemed dangerous and unbelievable at every step, but this was due to his courage. It cannot be denied that he also made mistakes, and he almost killed himself by hanging by a thread, but it was he who Only by daring and daring can I win the respect and admiration of many people and have so many glorious experiences.
"...Two brothers, I might as well tell you something. I donated medicine to the emperor, and the emperor's condition is improving. I can say this, no one can defeat me in front of the emperor until the emperor recovers. Because, I hold the prescription to cure the emperor's illness. Once the emperor's illness recovers, he, Lu Zhongtian, will not be able to do anything to me. As long as I don't make too big a mistake myself and don't get caught by him, there is nothing he can do to me. He even hates me. It's deep into my bones, but he can't shake me at all in a short period of time. Besides, even if I know that he will deal with me in every possible way in the future, and even I will die because of it, so what? If I can't even save the people around me, I can't How can I stand on earth and protect them with dignity? So, I have to do this."
Lin Jue's words caused huge waves in the hearts of Shen Tan and Ma Bin. They never expected that Lin Jue had already established such a special connection with the emperor. This is exactly what Lin Jue is capable of and what he often does. It is unimaginable to imagine that they are good at taking advantage of every possibility. It is not that they have never heard rumors about the emperor's illness, but at this moment, it is truly confirmed. Lin Jue is not a core member of the imperial court, but he can also be involved in this matter. , this is unbelievable, and they have to smack their lips with praise. But what shocked them the most was Lin Jue’s words behind him. Yes, if a person cannot even protect the people around him, hesitates before and after, or allows them to die and save Himself. Then, what kind of face can he have between heaven and earth?
"Brother, I didn't say anything. Since you have decided to do it, I will definitely help you. If you tell me what to do, I will never give up." Ma Bin shouted in a deep voice.
Shen Tan also said: "Yes, Brother Ma and I will help you capture Lu Tianci."
Lin Jue shook his head and said with a smile: "The two brothers are very loyal to each other. Lin Jue is very grateful. But I invite you here today, but I don't want to drag you into trouble. This matter is too dangerous, and I don't want you to be implicated. But I really need your help."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Are you treating us like outsiders? The three of us are sworn brothers, and we have agreed that we will share the joys and sorrows together. I don't like to hear what you are saying." Ma Bin said dissatisfied. .
"Yes, if Brother Lin hadn't regained the birthday gift with wisdom and bravery on Guishan Island, Brother Ma and I would have died long ago. We have owed you our lives for a long time, so why bother us? What you said is too much. I'm out of sight." Shen Tan also frowned.
Lin Jue hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, don't worry. I mean, I need your help in this matter, but all I need is your connections and your ability to find out information. I have no idea about Lu Tianci's whereabouts. If you want to catch him without alerting anyone, you must find out his whereabouts, plan a trap, and succeed without anyone noticing. Therefore, I asked my two brothers to find out about him for me. Traces, what he likes to eat, where he likes to go, whereabouts, and who is around him. I need to know these, the more detailed the better. I only have three days, I can't find out these things slowly, so I need you help."
Ma Bin and Shen Tan suddenly realized that Lin Jue needed help in this area, and it was not that he wanted to show off.
"This is easy to handle. I still have my brother Lu Zi who used to be in the Imperial City Division. If I say hello, I can figure out every corner of the capital." Ma Bin said.
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "You must not use false lies on others. None of your former subordinates and brothers can be used. If you want to investigate, you can only investigate it yourself, use your own methods, or use someone you completely trust to investigate. Don't reveal anything. There are clues. Brother Shen is the same. I know you are also capable in this area. Last time, the two brothers worked together to investigate the matter of Lu Wu’s life experience and almost got to the bottom of it, so this time I hope that the two brothers can help me complete the matter. .After figuring out these things, I can proceed with the next step of the trapping plan. If I need the help of my two brothers, I will not be polite."
Ma Bin and Shen Tan fully understood Lin Jue's intentions. It was out of trust in them that Lin Jue approached them to entrust this matter. It was precisely because he believed in their abilities that he let them help. Although the matter was dangerous, the two But there was a feeling of excitement in my heart. Life was too peaceful, and it was really meaningless. When I suddenly encountered such a thing, my adrenaline hormones surged, and my heart was eager to try. It felt extremely exciting.
…
In two days, Lin Jue calmly arranged the shipment of relief food, and asked Yang Xiu to follow the escort convoy to the East and West Road of Beijing to make preliminary relief arrangements. Counterpart assistance was also put on the agenda.
Guo Chong issued an imperial edict and launched two-on-one and three-on-one counterpart assistance operations in dozens of wealthy prefectures in the Jiangnan and Huaihe areas, plus the capital city. He adopted Lin Jue's idea of "one world, one family, one family." Slogans such as "When one is in trouble, support from all sides" and "Let the Zhou Dynasty be filled with love" are all promoted in a unified manner. With local governments taking the lead, counterpart assistance agencies have been established to operate in a unified manner.
Lin Jue repeatedly emphasized that voluntariness must come first, and this matter must not be turned into an exploitative move that disturbs the people and increases the burden on the people. Or it is a move for local officials to take advantage of the opportunity to enrich their own pockets. These ideas are also reflected in the imperial edict.
This incident was nothing more than a trivial matter. There were praises and criticisms in the court, but it did not cause any major disturbance.
On October 29th, the cold north wind caused the temperature in the entire capital to drop sharply again. The north wind blew all morning, but suddenly stopped in the afternoon. Anyone with experience knows that this is the fall of the sky. Signs of snow. The first snow in Beijing this year is probably going to fall. Although it is late, it is like something that is bound to happen. When it comes, people feel relieved. This shows that the weather is not abnormal. Maybe there is nothing abnormal in this world.
