As soon as these words came out, everyone in the pavilion widened their eyes in shock. The emperor actually wanted Lin Jue to be the third envoy? How is this possible? The third envoy is one of the three leading officials of the imperial court, does Lin Jue have this qualification and ability? That seems to be a bit of a misconsideration.

Even Lin Jue himself felt sudden, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I can't help it, the minister is young and has little qualifications, how dare he take on such a big responsibility?" The emperor chooses someone else. The minister didn't offer medicine for these reasons. This made the minister suspicious of taking advantage of this matter. ”

Guo Chong smiled and said, "I know that I don't want to appoint you as the third envoy for this matter. I am because of your ability. After the abolition of the Ordinance Department, it was changed to the Department of Reform and Aftermath, and I thought of merging it into the Yamen of the Third Division. Although the new law has been suspended, there are many aftermath issues. You are a disciple of Fan Dunru, and you should take care of the aftermath for them. This matter is quite involved, I don't want to have any more branches, you can do it, I can rest assured. Then Yang Xiu and Du Wei can be appointed as the deputy envoys of the third division to assist you in acting, what do you think? ”

Lin Jue pondered. Guo Chong suddenly wanted to make himself the third envoy, which made Lin Jue a little surprised. Originally, Lin Jue thought that it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the court now. But he didn't expect Guo Chong to make himself the third envoy. This didn't seem like an impulsive idea, Guo Chong said it without thinking, it seemed that he had such an idea for a long time. Suddenly, Lin Jue seemed to understand something. Does Guo Chong want to support himself and become a force of the new faction in the DPRK and China?

Lin Jue's idea is not wrong, Guo Chong thinks exactly so.

As everyone knows, after the fall of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, the DPRK and China became almost monolithic. Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun, two people who had not originally come together, agreed on the prince's meeting and formed an alliance. The two central yamen have become a front of people, and the rest of the stragglers have the power to fight? It must be to go with the flow and dare not go against the tide. But for Guo Chong, it has become a piece of his heart.

Guo Chong didn't have any special opinions about Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun, even after Lin Jue impeached these two people, Guo Chong didn't care too much about Lin Jue's statement, and J was only punished. Although there are some doubts about this, it is not to the point of losing trust in Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun. However, as a king, Guo Chong naturally understood what the consequences of the courtiers sitting on the throne were. At the beginning, in order to bring down Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, hundreds of impeachment pieces were sent to him from all directions in a few days, and everyone wanted to bring down Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru and severely punish them. From that incident, Guo Chong realized how powerful Lu Zhongtian was.

This national ruler and prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty has already made the main officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty impeach others according to his ideas, which is a sign of power. Although Guo Chong had known this kind of thing for a long time, and knew that there were a lot of officials under Lu Zhongtian, that time really scared Guo Chong. What worries Guo Chong even more is that Yang Jun has never been with Lu Zhongtian, and has become one of the factors of stability in the DPRK and China, and has become the party that he absolutely trusts and relies on. Now he also got involved with Lu Zhongtian. The joint advance and retreat of military and political officials was originally a manifestation of peace, but for the emperor, it was definitely not a good thing.

The so-called way of the emperor is the way to control people and the way to balance power. His courtiers are powerful, and this is not a problem. The problem is that if one family cannot dominate and control the entire dynasty, then the emperor will be reduced to a deaf and blind man, at the mercy of others. When the power of the DPRK and China became unbalanced and became monolithic, things went in a direction that Guo Chong never wanted.

The best situation that Guo Chong hopes for is that the courtiers of the DPRK and China are better off not forming factions. But this is obviously impossible. Settle for the second, even if there is a faction, it must be of equal strength, fighting but not breaking. It's best to mediate and be a peacemaker. So they're all under their control. He is also the one who can make the final decision. The purpose of introducing Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru before was of course to change the law, and the purpose of giving Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru heavy power was of course also necessary to change the law, but in fact, Guo Chong also wanted to divide the power of Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun. If the DPRK and China can stand on three legs and hold each other hostage, they will have much more peace of mind. No one knows better than the descendants of the Guo family about the harm of courtiers sitting on the throne, because Guo Wei, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, established the Great Zhou Dynasty with his courtiers sitting on the country of the Later Han Dynasty. The descendants of the Guo family themselves became rebels, so they naturally had to strictly prevent this from happening.

The deaths of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru were not strictly speaking Guo Chong's wishes. It's just that Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu's 'three insufficiency' remarks really annoyed Guo Chong, which shook his majesty as the Son of Heaven and the rationality of his rule, and he must be punished. But he definitely didn't think about killing the two. That's why he asked Lin Jue to persuade him, give him a step, and also give Yan Fang and the two of them a step. When Yan Fang and the others still refused to give in, he still agreed to the request of the Empress Dowager Wei and decided to pardon the two in the name of New Year's amnesty. Let the two of them be idle for a year or two, suppress their arrogance, and then reactivate. But unexpectedly, Yan Fang and the others couldn't rub the sand in their eyes and committed suicide. Their deaths really caught Guo Chong off guard.

Guo Chong knew from the time of their death that he had to support a new force to balance the imbalance between the DPRK and China. Looking around at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Lin Jue was the most suitable one. Lin Jue was obviously a natural opponent of Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun, because his teacher was the target of Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun's attack, and he himself didn't seem to have any friendship with Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun. What's more, this person really has some ability, and he has already done several big things that shocked the government and the opposition at a young age.

In the end, the most important point is that Lin Jue saved his life! When he had given up hope, it was Lin Jue who rekindled the fire of life. How can such a person not be reused? How can you not be serious?

However, after the impeachment incident, Guo Chong did hesitate, he was worried that Lin Jue had a different intention. Lin Jue's performance that day was a bit excessive, making him think that Lin Jue was arrogant and arrogant by relying on the medicine he used to treat his disease. Guo Chong was annoyed at that time. But today, Lin Jue donated the prescription, which broke the doubts in Guo Chong's heart and made Guo Chong feel happy. It was originally going to wait for the Yuan Festival to be announced, but at this moment, I couldn't wait to say it.

Lin Jue was actually not very interested in the three envoys, and he didn't want to be a pawn in Guo Chong's royal way. However, something is better than nothing. Although the power of the three envoys is not as strong as before, this position is still one of the nominal heads of the Great Wednesday Central Yamen. Serving as the third envoy can be more convenient to compete with Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and others to a certain extent. Being in a high position has actually alleviated his situation to a certain extent. At the very least, those people should also consider their own identity in their actions.

What's more, it is better to be the third envoy than to be the third envoy by Lu Zhongtian's people. When the three major powers of the imperial court, military, government, and financial affairs are concentrated in the hands of a certain group, the imperial court is completely controlled by them. At least he can be a troublemaker, so that they are not satisfied.

"Father, the position of the prime minister is not trivial, but you can't give orders at will. Lord Lin himself said that he was young and had little qualifications, and he had a heavy responsibility for this position and could not afford it. Is it more appropriate to make a decision after consulting with the lords of the DPRK and China? Guo Xu couldn't help but speak. Although he was able to come here today to see Guo Chong and accompany him to enjoy the snow, it was largely because of Concubine Mei's desperate plea.

When it snowed, Guo Chong became interested and wanted to take the queen concubines to enjoy the snow together, and also enjoy the family fun of the people. But Guo Chong didn't want Guo Xu to come into the palace to accompany him, and Concubine Mei persuaded her in every possible way, saying that she hadn't reunited with her son for a long time and missed Guo Xu very much. If Guo Xu doesn't come, he won't be too interested, so he might as well go back to the palace and sit down. Guo Chong remembered the love between husband and wife for many years, so he also agreed to him. Besides, Guo Chong deliberately snubbed Guo Xu for a long time in the New Year, hoping that Guo Xu could reflect and confess, after all, this is his favorite son, and there is still a trace of pity in his heart. Especially when getting along with Guo Mian, every time Guo Mian says something inappropriate or does something inappropriate, Guo Chong will think of Guo Xu in his heart, compare Guo Xu with Guo Mian, and feel that Guo Xu is at least much stronger than Guo Mian in terms of behavior. It's just that he can't let go of the act he may have done with the intention of killing people with a knife.

Guo Xu was finally allowed to accompany the driver to enjoy the snow, and he himself knew that this matter was not easy. So this morning I was careful not to say a word. But now, he really couldn't help it. The father actually wanted Lin Jue to be the third envoy, which was unacceptable. The third envoy, at least nominally at the same level as the privy envoy and prime minister, is a first-class minister, how can his father let Lin Jue sit in this position? He had to come out and dissuade him.

Guo Chong frowned and glanced at Guo Xu, and said coldly: "What words?" What is a lack of young qualifications? Am I not qualified enough to be the third envoy? Who put down the rebellion of the Qingjiao? Is it you Guo Xu? You've lost all my face. You are nine years older than Lin Jue, but what earth-shattering things have you done? Among the younger generation of my dynasty, Lin Juenai is a leader. The capable go up, the mediocre go down, and this is even reasonable. Ganluo is the twelfth phase, but so what? I've made up my mind, and it's not your turn to talk more. ”

Guo Xu opened his mouth and stammered, disgraced. This sentence brought up the matter of the Qingjiao Rebellion again, and the emperor was afraid that he remembered the things that made him angry again, and he knew that this was the case, and he might as well keep his mouth shut.

Concubine Mei frowned and said in a low voice: "Why does the emperor reprimand Xu'er like this, Xu'er is also a prince anyway, how can he compare his courtiers with him?" Isn't the emperor's son as good as a courtier? The emperor also spoke softer. ”

Guo Chong shouted: "Women's family, what do you know? If it weren't in front of the courtiers, my words would be even heavier. Your Lu family revolves around Guo Xu every day, a good prince, who is instigated to do something that is incompatible with his status, and you are also responsible as a mother. ”
