Emperor! Emperor! Stop, Your Majesty! Lu Zhongtian's low and rapid shout made Guo Xu, who had fallen into a semi-crazy state, suddenly sober up.

Guo Xu stopped his hand and found that his body and face were full of blood. Looking around the hall, hundreds of pairs of eyes were looking at him, each with astonishment and fear. The hundreds of ministers in the palace seemed to have a nightmare, they saw the scene of the emperor smashing Yang Jun's head with an incense burner, this scene was strange and terrifying, and it made people frightened to the bottom of their hearts. What kind of madness is that, the appearance of Guo Xu is like a crazy beast, definitely not like the appearance of a normal person. It is unbelievable that an emperor can do such a thing.

Guo Xu let go of his hand, and the bloodstained and deformed openwork copper furnace cover fell to the ground, making a piercing sound, and the bones rolled to the side. Guo Xu crossed his hands, his hands were full of blood, and Yang Jun, who was controlled by several guards in front of him, had already drooped his head, his head was covered with blood, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Guo Xu realized his gaffe and was at a loss for a while.

Lu Zhongtian frowned and said in a deep voice: "Yang Jun is rebellious, roaring at the imperial court, slandering the emperor and the imperial court. The emperor is young, his heart is unsettled, and he is inevitably a little impulsive under his anger, which is nothing. Even if the emperor killed Yang Jun with his own hands, it would be Yang Jun's own fault. Yang Jun has committed a heinous crime, and he has confessed his crime, and he is innocent of death. ”

"Lu Xiang is right, the emperor is angry."

"Even I want to go up and do it, let alone the emperor. Yang Jun is a sinner, everyone can punish him. ”

"Exactly, this person is full of nonsense, slandering the emperor, and he is innocent."

A group of ministers came to their senses and echoed one after another.

Guo Xu relieved himself and shouted in a deep voice: "Spread my will, behead Yang Jun, and announce his guilt to the world." Other than that...... Today's court affairs, Yang Jun's nonsense and slanderous words are not allowed to be spread indiscriminately. If anyone dares to talk nonsense about my Great Zhou at this time, it is equivalent to betraying the court and causing chaos, and I will never spare it. ”

Guo Xu's eyes were extremely fierce, and the muscles on his face were distorted, which made the ministers shudder. Everyone believes that with the emperor's actions today, if anyone disobeys his words, he will not end well. Guo Xu, who tried to maintain his gentleness before, has been revealed, this is the real emperor, the emperor who is as tyrannical as the devil.

Many people can't help but start thinking about one thing, that is, the cause of death of the former emperor and the crown prince. Until now, many people have refused to believe the emperor's usurpation of the throne and killing his father and brother. But from Guo Xu's actions today, he has a different feeling. Are the words Yang Junshi said really nonsense? Why did the emperor react so much? An emperor who can swing an incense burner in the court and smash his courtiers, what else can't he do?

……

More than ten days ago, Lin Jue and his entourage returned to Funiu Mountain. Guo Kun, Ma Bin, Shen Tan and others, as well as the wives and concubines of the Lin family, greeted them outside the Dongshan Canyon. When he saw the figure of Lin Jue and his entourage, Guo Kun ordered someone to blow the horn, and suddenly countless figures appeared among the rocks and green trees on the slopes on both sides of the canyon, standing on the hillside and saluting Lin Jue and others in the valley, the scene was quite shocking and spectacular.

It is natural for everyone to meet

It was extremely joyful, everyone did not approve of Lin Jue and others before they went to the battlefield to observe, and I heard that this time Lin Jue and others encountered a great crisis, and almost lost their lives in Liao, since Guo Kun went down, naturally everyone was happy that Lin Jue and others could return safely. At the same time, after meeting, it was a good complaint. Especially the wives and concubines of the Lin family, they all have resentment and blame in their eyes.

Lin Jue's mood was very comfortable, and when he returned to Funiu Mountain from the war-torn northern battlefield, it was really like returning to a paradise. In fact, when he entered the range of Funiu Mountain dozens of miles away, Lin Jue felt the powerful radiation effect near the left side of Funiu Mountain. Arriving in this section of Gyeonggi from the border town, because the news of the defeat of the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty spread, there was a sense of panic everywhere. When you reach the left side of Funiu Mountain, the villages and towns on the left seem much quieter. The atmosphere is also very different.

As soon as you enter the confines of Funiu Mountain, you can feel the atmosphere of complete peace and tranquility. In the valley, free-range cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the meadows. The hillsides are verdant with green trees, and there are people cultivating on the cultivated hills. What's more, everyone I saw here had a smile on their faces, and they were in good spirits, unlike those I saw outside the mountain with sad faces, as if they were worried that they couldn't be dispatched.

Lin Jue knew that all this was the result of the difference between inside and outside the mountains. The wind and rain outside the mountain are shaking, and the exploitation of the imperial court is becoming more and more serious, and after several years of development in Funiu Mountain, everyone has no worries about food and clothing, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. What's more, there is a strong soldier and horse to protect everyone's safety. This is already a paradise, and the people here have come out of the initial confusion of not knowing where the future is, and have agreed with the rule of Funiu Mountain and Luoyan Valley from the bottom of their hearts. Life is worry-free, food and clothing are sufficient, and the natural mental outlook and body have become more positive and strong.

Lin Jue himself felt this way. After entering Funiu Mountain, the tense nerves relaxed, and the whole person relaxed. That's not because there's no need to worry about safety here, it's just the lowest level of tension. Lin Jue's relaxation is the relaxation of the whole psychological level. It is the spiritual comfort and security that comes from the difference in the whole atmosphere, not the sense of security in person.

Although everyone was eager to learn what he had experienced from Lin Jue's mouth, Guo Kun and the others still persuaded Lin Jue to go back to the house to rest first, and other things would be discussed later. Everyone knew the hardships of this journey from the dark and thin faces of Lin Jue, Sun Dayong and others, as well as the appearance of scruffy beards and hair.

That night, the Lin family held a family banquet, Guo Caiwei and Luwu personally rolled up their sleeves to cook, and burned the dishes on the table to catch Lin Jue. Lin Jue was freshly groomed, and his hair and beard were trimmed neatly. Sitting in the master's position, a pair of children sitting on his knees, full of wives and concubines in front of him, the feeling of being together and harmonious really made Lin Jue, who had experienced so many days of displacement and several life and death tests, feel like a world away.

The banquet was very warm and lively, and when the wine was full, Xie Yingying took the initiative to play the pipa and sang a song to toast her husband. Qianqian also danced a dance to cheer Lin Jue. Laughter and applause rang out. Facing this picturesque scene of red wine and green people, Lin Jue felt as if he was in a dream. But for some reason, Lin Jue's mind always returned to the territory of Liao,

I always flash back to the brutal and bloody scene of the flood and the fighting of soldiers and horses. also recalled the night in the Fengtai Valley, Wanyan Mingyue's wheezing and tears. Lin Jue knew in his heart that the years of peace in Funiu Mountain would not last long, because the world had changed greatly, the situation had changed greatly, and all the people were in the midst of great changes that had not been seen in a hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the turbulent waves of history, no one can be alone, including this paradise-like Funiu Mountain.

On the morning of the next day, Lin Jue held a backbone meeting in the Ya Hall of Luoyangu County to report on what he had experienced during the trip.

Lin Jue spent half an hour briefly recounting the experience he had done, although he said it plainly, trying not to bring subjective emotions in it, but when he finished narrating, the entire county hall was still silent. The thoughts of the generals had already followed Master Lin's narration and followed him to the land of the two capitals of the Liao Kingdom. Especially when they heard the section where Yelu Zongyuan dug the dam and released the flood, everyone was even more stunned.

That's all about the experience. I'm ashamed that the results of this trip are far from what I had hoped to achieve. My original intention was to observe the combat methods of the Jurchens and the Liao, and to see what secret war books and war weapons they had. But I didn't see anything valuable. He almost lost his life in the Jurchen army. However, there are some gains from this trip, and I can share them with all of you. Lin Jue finally said.

Guo Kun nodded and said, "I'll listen to you." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "First of all, I think we don't have any illusions about the Liao and the Jurchens. The Jurchens and the Liao people are both tiger and wolf clans, although we often said this before, but this time I really saw it. Wanyan Aguda has a perverse personality, cunning and murderous, and is by no means a trustworthy person. I didn't just kill me, but because of the way he acted. After the Jurchens invaded Liaodi, they slaughtered the city and killed countless innocent people. Although it is a war between two countries, there is no need for a woman's kindness, but how is this kind of behavior different from that of an animal? The Jurchens and the Liao people still have the same roots, and they still have no way back, and if they are enemies of our Great Zhou in the future, they will not have the slightest compassion. As for Yelu Zongyuan, judging from his actions of digging dams and discharging floods, completely ignoring the lives and deaths of the people of Liao, he knows that he is also a desperate person for the sake of the end. Therefore, we cannot be with the Liao and Jurchens, let alone trust any of their promises. This kind of tiger and wolf clan will either be completely wiped out or enslaved, and they must not be given a chance to turn over. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, Lin Jue had repeatedly instilled that the Liao people and the Jurchen were unreliable, and everyone could still understand the Liao people, after all, they bordered the Great Zhou and disturbed the Great Zhou for hundreds of years. Even if the two countries are friendly, they are hostile to them from the bottom of their hearts. But for the Jurchens, many people do not understand. This time, Lord Lin had a positive contact with the Jurchens, and witnessed their murderous combat methods and cunning methods, which can be regarded as a more accurate understanding. The Liao and Jurchens, one is a wolf and the other is a tiger, they both want to eat people, and they will not have any compassion, and they can't have any illusions about them at all.
