Chapter 841: I don't know the crux of the matter
Lin Jue stood there in a daze, his mouth opened into a circle, and two big words were written on his face: Shock! Five hundred forbidden soldiers were killed by the Qingjiao sect? How is this possible? Can the Qingjiao members in Yucheng have such a great ability? And how did all this happen? Qingjiao took the initiative to attack officers and soldiers? Crazy isn't it?
"Lord Lin, Lord Lin, why are you stunned? Lord Lin, don't be rude. Zhu Zhirong saw Lin Jue stunned and in a daze, and hurriedly called in a low voice.
"Oh, I'm sorry, the emperor forgives the sin, and the minister is rude. Weichen was just too surprised, how could such a thing happen? Lin Jue woke up and apologized repeatedly.
Guo Chong said lightly: "It's nothing, I was just as shocked when I heard the news." This group of cult thieves is lawless, and anyone who hears such news will be filled with righteous indignation and shock. ”
Lin Jue groaned: "The minister is a little confused, how could our forbidden army in the capital appear in the city?" How could there be a conflict with the Youth Sect? ”
Zhu Zhirong said: "It's that I didn't make it clear to you that the case of the Mo couple last time has been concluded." This time, it was Lu Xiang and Vice Minister Wu who believed that the case should be tried in Changheng County, so as to warn the people in Changheng County who were bewitched by the cult not to be controlled by the cult anymore. Therefore, he ordered Master Pei, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to escort the Mo family and his wife to the local public trial in Changheng County, so as to deter the cult. Five hundred forbidden troops were escorted under the leadership of Hou Dutou. Who would have thought that the Qingjiao besieged Changheng County that night, and Hou Dutou led 500 forbidden troops to kill him, and was ambushed by the Qingjiao on the way back to Beijing via Yucheng, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army. ”
Lin Jue was stunned and stunned again. Listening to what Zhu Zhirong said, Lin Jue immediately raised a huge mystery in his heart. Will the Mo couple be escorted back to Changheng County for public trial? Is this crazy or stupid? Isn't this an extra move to take off your pants and fart? Besides, doing so would obviously anger the Qingjiao followers and go to other people's territory to show off their might, so how could those fanatical Qingjiao followers give up? This is really strange.
"Lin Jue, that's the case. I called you here because I heard Zhu Zhirong say that you went through that case, and you have also been to Changheng County in person, and it seems that you have been attacked by cultists. That being the case, you should know something about these young cultists. You tell me, who are the Qingjiaoists? Guo Chong asked in a deep voice.
Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, as far as Wei Chen knows, most of the Qingjiao members are local ordinary people. ”
"People?" Guo Chong frowned and said, "Do you think these cultists who rebelled and killed people are just ordinary people?" ”
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "What Weichen is talking about is an ordinary sect member, as for the leader of the Qing Sect, it must not be a pure and good people. Those who know how to use cults to deceive people's minds will have ill intentions. ”
Guo Chong nodded slightly, and muttered: "But even if someone has ill intentions, how can these people be willing to be driven? Isn't the court good enough for the people? Am I not good enough for the people? The new law of the imperial court distributed silver taels to the people and gave them land to cultivate, so why did they still rebel with the cult? Are they crazy? ”
Lin Jue thought for a while and said softly: "The emperor may think that it is already good to them, but maybe the people don't think so. It's like wearing shoes, it looks like it fits, but only the person wearing the shoes knows if it's comfortable to walk on. Whether the policies of the imperial court satisfy the people or not, I am afraid that only the people know in their hearts. ”
Guo Chong was stunned for a moment, glared at Lin Jue and said coldly: "What do you mean by this."
Think? Seems to mean something else? ”
Zhu Zhirong also shouted on the side: "Bold Lin Jue, what are you talking about?" These people don't understand the gratitude, you still say this kind of thing. ”
Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "Since the emperor asked Weichen, Weichen just said his opinion, does the emperor want Weichen to say things against his will?" Weichen people are soft-spoken, what does it matter if my opinion is right or wrong? ”
Guo Chong didn't expect Lin Jue to have some reason, but it was difficult to refute. After thinking about it, he frowned and said, "That's it, I don't care about you about this, I just allow you to tell the truth." So, when you went to Changheng County that day, what did you find strange about the cult members? ”
Lin Jue said: "I have reported all the situation that day to Lord Zhu to know. When the minister went to save people and take people, he was indeed besieged by the believers. However, the minister did not think that they were trying to rebel at that time. In the end, they let the ministers leave, and also asked the ministers to bring the prisoners back to the capital, which is proof. However, judging from the situation on that day, the minister did feel that it was very improper. Among the members of the Qingjiao, the cult is very bewitching, and when they gather and shout, they are free from being a mob. Weichen was also very worried at that time, and I also told Master Zhu when I came back. ”
Zhu Zhirong hurriedly said: "Indeed, Lord Lin did tell the minister. The minister also reported to several adults in the political affairs hall. It was precisely because of the importance attached to it that the political affairs hall decided to escort the prisoners to Changheng County for public trial in order to deter the cult members. But I didn't expect this group of cultists to be so bold and bold to do such a thing now. ”
Guo Chong pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Zhu Zhirong: "Zhu Zhirong, you step down, I asked Lin Jue a few words alone." ”
Zhu Zhirong was slightly stunned, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order." When he turned around and retreated, Zhu Zhirong glanced at Lin Jue, which means: You speak carefully, don't talk nonsense.
After Zhu Zhirong withdrew, Guo Chong slowly spoke: "Lin Jue, there are only you and me here at the moment, you don't have to scruple when you speak." I heard something unspoken in your words. You said that when you went to Changheng County, the Qingjiao followers did not seem to have any intention of rebelling, do you mean that today's Qingjiao cultists' gathering of people to rebel was mishandled by the imperial court? ”
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "How dare Weichen have such a meaning. But...... Weichen feels that this kind of thing is actually a very sensitive matter, and it should be handled more carefully. The minister said something that should not be said, and the political affairs hall escorted the prisoners to Changheng County for public trial, perhaps with the intention of deterring the cult members and making them sober up and rein in the precipice. Good intentions, but a little impatient and inconsiderate. ”
Guo Chong was stunned, and suddenly laughed: "Lin Jue, if these words are heard by Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai, I don't know what they think." They are all far-sighted people, but they didn't expect to be accused of acting inconsiderately by a six-grade petty official. Hehehe, I've really opened my eyes. ”
Lin Jue couldn't hear the ridicule in Guo Chong's words, and hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't mean to talk to adults. Wechen is just talking about things. If the Political Affairs Hall could send someone to find out the true situation of the Qingjiao Sect, it would not be so simple and rude. Killing chickens can certainly hack monkeys, but it can also make monkeys blow up their nests and start fighting hard. This is the case with the members of the Youth Sect. The ministers were not trying to defend the Qingjiao, but in that case, it was not the best strategy to provoke them. The effect can only be counterproductive. The present is proof of this. The minister was able to retreat with his whole body on the day, today
The five hundred forbidden troops spilled blood in the city, and the situation was completely out of control. ”
Guo Chong said coldly: "I'm afraid you're not an afterthought." Why didn't you say it before? ”
Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister is just a six-grade petty official, and the minister has already reported all the situations he has encountered, does the emperor want the minister to make decisions for the adults in the political hall?" The emperor can say that I am an afterthought, and the minister will admit it. ”
Guo Chong frowned and was silent for a moment, and asked, "Then in your opinion, what will you do?" Conniving at the Youth Sect? Blind eye? Compromise with a cult? ”
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "How can you compromise?" The Qingjiao has ill intentions, demagogues the people, and has bad intentions, how can the imperial court compromise with it? However, just like flood control, the method of blocking may cause the dam to collapse, and the flood will be more harmful, so it is necessary to divert it. ”
"How can I channel?" Guo Chong tilted his head and asked.
"Wei Chen said before that most of the members of the Qingjiao sect are ordinary people, and they will join the Qingjiao only after being co-opted and bewitched by people with ulterior motives. The imperial court should actually figure out the root cause of this matter. As the emperor said, why did the court think that it was good enough for the people, but the people followed the Qingjiao to rebel? Obviously, the court was not as good to the people as imagined. As far as the minister knows, it is precisely this that the Qingjiao has taken advantage of to win the hearts of the people. so that the people willingly followed them. What the minister knows is that the Qingjiao gave the people free relief of food and materials when the people were in the most difficult time, and when there was a great drought in the world last year, when the people had no food and clothing, the Qingjiao took advantage of this opportunity to win people's hearts. Who is not grateful for the act of sending charcoal in the snow? Especially ordinary people, whoever is good to them, they follow. Whoever feeds them and stands up for them will be faithful to them, which is the simplest truth. ”
Guo Chong shouted: "Nonsense, last year, there was a great drought in the north, and the imperial court implemented the new law of Changping, and allocated an official loan of 10 million taels to help the people tide over the difficulties. The people around Gyeonggi also came to Daqing Gate to send Wanmin umbrellas and send plaques to express their gratitude. How can there be no food and clothing? ”
Lin Jue looked up at Guo Chong, he didn't know how to answer Guo Chong's words. Guo Chong sat in the palace, and every day he got the news that was sent by the second-hand third hand. After layers of filtering, all he saw were things that others were willing to let him see. How did he know what the real situation was? Another reason why Lin Jue is difficult to answer is that this already involves the drawbacks of the new law, which is the focus of long-standing debate between the law changers and the opposition, and if he answers truthfully at this moment, it will make Guo Chong think that he is attacking the new law. Lin Jue didn't want to say these words at this time.
"Your Majesty, this is a fact known to the ministers, if the emperor doesn't believe it, the ministers can't do anything. As for why this happened, the minister didn't know how it happened. This is not within the minister's ability, the minister only answers the emperor's questions truthfully and tells the facts he sees. Lin Jue and a handful of mud.
Guo Chong frowned and was silent for a long time, and then asked, "It seems that you seem to know a lot about the affairs of the Qingjiao, and you have also used your brain to think about a lot of things. What else do you know? Don't hide it from me, tell me everything. I need to know the truth. I don't know anything about Qingjiao now. ”
Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "The emperor inquired, and Weichen didn't dare to hide anything. The minister didn't want to go over the line, but the minister had something he wanted to remind the emperor. This is what the minister wants to tell the emperor most after entering the palace. ”
Guo Chong was stunned and said, "Oh? You say it. ”
