Guo Caiwei looked at her mother and brother helplessly, and sighed in her heart. It would have been a great situation. The elder brother ascended the throne and became the emperor, the husband quelled the civil strife and drove out the enemy, and the Great Zhou returned to calm and was about to regain its vitality. When everything was going well, my brother and mother were scheming behind their backs, so that today's situation is really sad and annoying.

finally survived to this day, and it was the time when the bitterness came to an end, but I was messed up by the stupid behavior of my mother and brother.

This incident made his status in the Lin family plummet. Originally, his position in the Lin family became more and more stable, and after his brother ascended the throne, even Green Dance could not shake his position as the eldest woman. But now, my brother and my mother want to murder their husband, and they suddenly become lonely in the Lin family. Although the women didn't say anything on the surface, there was always something subtle in their eyes. Some of them may think they are in the know, after all, such things cannot be explained.

The husband should be the one who knows himself, and he should not think that he is also complicit. But this incident will definitely affect his position in his heart. He may not say anything, but he will definitely stay away from himself and slowly drift away. And that's what worries me the most.

Although his situation is embarrassing, it is nothing. After all, I have a clear conscience. Sooner or later, everyone will understand that they are not involved, and they will not be disloyal to their husbands in the slightest. But at present, what I am most worried about is how this matter will be resolved. The elder brother and his mother want the husband's life, it is already a matter of life and death, and it is possible for the husband to forgive his mother and brother. If the husband abolishes his brother's throne, his brother will surely die. At that time, I am afraid that I will only be the only one who will be cut off. The husband may not do anything to himself, but he is afraid that he will not be able to pass this hurdle.

The consequences of that are unacceptable, and Guo Caiwei can't let things deteriorate out of control. Although Guo Caiwei doesn't know how to deal with this matter, with Guo Caiwei's understanding of Lin Jue, things may not turn around. The husband is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, he has actually given himself a lot of face, and he has also given Guo Kun face. Otherwise, the last time Guo Kun ambushed people and tried to attack him, it would be enough for the husband to show no mercy to his brother. In the final analysis, the husband also does not want the contradiction to intensify.

Regardless of Lin Jue's attitude in the end, Guo Caiwei came to the conclusion that she had to ask her mother and brother to correct their attitudes, and she had to apologize to Lin Jue for what happened and make amends. This is the premise that things will turn around. During this time, my mother and brother went on a hunger strike and scolded again. My brother also came up with some kind of clothes and ribbon edict for people to secretly send them outside the palace, and he was delusional about fighting back. These farces not only can't save them, but will make things more tricky, so before Lin Jue returns, Guo Caiwei must enter this palace and make her mother and brother clear, so that they must come to their senses.

"Mother, forgive your daughter for being disrespectful. Don't you really think you've gone too far this time? Have you ever reflected on this for yourselves afterwards? Guo Caiwei said softly.

"Excessive? Who is excessive? Are we? Sister, what you said is really interesting, your good husband put me and my mother under house arrest here, disloyal, unfilial, rebellious, and ungrateful, but you say that we are excessive? Knowing that Lin Jue was about to return, Guo Kun, who was restless in his heart, was ignited by Guo Caiwei's words like a firecracker, and jumped up and shouted loudly.

Guo Caiwei frowned and said, "Brother, don't you know what you did?" It is you who are suspicious and suspicious of my husband, and you want to disadvantage him. Aren't you the ones who are in this situation today? ”

Guo Kun sneered: "I knew that you were going to say these words, and you really had the same heart as them." But have you ever thought about my situation? Your good husband has great power and controls everything. And I, the emperor, am his puppet. How can I not fight? Do you have to wait for him to depose me as emperor before I regret it? I only regret now that I didn't kill him that night. For a while, the kindness of a woman ended up like this. ”

Guo Caiwei sighed: "Brother, I'm really disappointed in you. The good times are buried in your suspicions. Where is my husband who can't stop us all the way? He saved us from danger several times and helped you to sit on the throne. What else are you not satisfied with? You want to say that he wants to be the emperor, if he wants to be the emperor, why should he assist you? Don't you think about these things? ”

"Phew, he's just using me as a banner to call the world. If he raises an army of his own, he will rebel. If he borrows the name of my Liang Wangfu, he will be the king of Qin, and he will be famous. That's exactly what he had in mind. Lin Jue is a person with a difficult mind, others don't know, can I not know? Guo Kun waved his hand and shouted.

Guo Caiwei frowned and shook her head: "Brother, you are a ghost, I really don't know who poured this ecstasy on you, making you so obsessed." If the husband wants to borrow the name of the Guo family, why do you have to be you? Green Dance is the daughter of the former emperor, and in the name of Green Dance, she crusades against the rebellious thief who killed her father and brother to seize the throne, isn't this a reason to start an army? ”

"Green Dance? She is a woman, and I don't think women are the main ones. Do you think it's the Tang Dynasty? The universe is reversed, yin and yang are reversed, and it is absolutely impossible in my Great Zhou. Guo Kun said.

Guo Caiwei nodded and said, "Okay, even if Green Dance is not qualified, what about the others?" The Guo royal family has a lot of blood, he can recommend others, why is it you? Will the sons of King Ankang not succeed? Isn't the king of Longxi County successful? They are all of the royal blood of the Guo family, so wouldn't it be more at his mercy to find a royal child who is ignorant of the world to be the emperor? ”

"Someone else? How are they qualified? They are not royal orthodoxy. "Guo

Kun shouted.

Guo Caiwei sneered: "Are you orthodox?" Is Daddy the Emperor? Guo Xu is more qualified than you. If you really want to talk about the unification of the first emperor, all the veins, including the first emperor, are all branch veins, but they were obtained by Emperor Wu from Emperor Mingde back then. The real orthodox heir of the founding of the country is in the line of King Ankang, that is the orthodoxy of the founding ancestors. If the prince of Ankang is established, it will be attributed to the founding of the country, and it will be more justifiable. ”

Guo Caiwei likes to read, and she also read "A Brief History of the National Dynasty", which Lin Jue likes to study, and knows the inheritance of the throne since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The first Taizu Guo Wei established the Great Zhou, and later passed on to the crown prince, who was Emperor Mingde. However, Emperor Mingde was weak and sickly, and died in the dynasty after more than a year on the throne, and Guo Xi, the king of Yan, was the thirteenth brother of Taizu, and was entrusted by Taizu to assist Emperor Mingde in governance. After the death of Emperor Mingde, King Yan succeeded in seizing the throne for Emperor Wu. In fact, the orthodoxy of the emperor's heirs has changed from the line of Taizu to the line of Emperor Wu. And the current King of Ankang County is one of the bloodlines of the ancestors inherited from Taizu. Therefore, when it comes to legitimacy, tracing back to the roots, Prince Ankang's heir is even more orthodox.

Of course, Guo Kun also knew this, and was irrefutable by the girl's words, and finally reprimanded angrily: "I can see that you didn't come to the palace today to think of a way for us, but to help your husband come to reprimand us." Sure enough, a catastrophe came, and his mother and brother ignored it. So what have you done? I think my mother and I are not dead, do you want to come to the well and kill us? ”

Guo Caiwei listened to these harsh words, and her heart was extremely sad. But she still patiently comforted: "Brother doesn't need to say such things, if I don't think about my mother and brother, why do I come here today?" You must also know my current situation, and my visit to the palace today will also arouse suspicion and attract discussion. But you are my dearest, so how can I ignore them at such times? If I wanted to protect myself, I wouldn't have to come. ”

The Queen Mother, who had not spoken for a long time, hurriedly said: "Kun'er, what your sister said is right. We are a family, close relatives of flesh and blood, how can she not care about our life and death? Your sister-in-law took the risk to enter the palace, she must give us ideas, and you don't say some angry words. There is no need to mention the previous ones, the matter has come to this point, and the three of us have to figure out a way. ”

Guo Kun glared at Guo Caiwei with puffed eyes and said, "Sister, since you are here to help us, you have an idea." Lin Jue is coming back, I'm afraid he's going to kill me and my mother, what can you do to save us? ”

Guo Caiwei shook her head and said, "I can't help you out, even if there is a way, I can't do it." ”

Guo Kun sneered and said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, you heard it, this is your good daughter, my good sister." She said she could get us out and wouldn't. ”

Shen Akui frowned and said to Guo Caiwei: "Wei'er, now only you can save us, if you don't save us, won't my brother and I die." ”

Guo Caiwei said softly: "Mother, haven't you understood the seriousness of this matter? Still won't admit that you've done wrong? How can you plot against him behind your back? Now that something has happened, it is necessary to have the courage to admit mistakes. The daughter will mediate among them, and ask him for permission, so that there will be a turnaround. At this time, I still want to escape, how can I escape? Any inappropriate action at this moment could result in death. For the sake of today's plan, only by letting my brother apologize to his husband can it be possible to ease the matter. If you continue to be wrong, you really can't save it. ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "Apologize to him?" What's the idea? ”

Guo Kun waved his hand and shouted, "Don't think about it!" I am the emperor, but I want to apologize to him. You can say it. ”

Guo Caiwei said softly: "Those who know the times are Junjie." Brother, the world has changed, you know it in your heart. Don't be stubborn. Otherwise, I won't be able to save your life. You don't say that the girl doesn't help you to protect herself. If you die, it's okay for my sister to commit suicide, because I don't have any other choice. I'm already living a lifeless life, caught between you and my husband, I can't be a human being, and I'm relieved to die. ”

Guo Kun gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, why didn't you just make up your mind?" So, I have a way. After Lin Jue came back, you tried to poison his food and poisoned him. As soon as he dies and the trees fall apart, everyone else will come to me at once. You not only saved us, but also saved Da Zhou Sheji. ”

Guo Caiwei looked at Guo Kun blankly, not knowing what to say.

"Wei'er, this is the ...... It's not necessarily good, my mother knows that you can't do it. But...... Maybe that's what we can do. Mother is not trying to force you to do this, it is better to have other ways. The Queen Mother smacked her lips.

Guo Caiwei looked at this mother and son in a daze, and was extremely disappointed.

"Mother, brother, you are so confused. It's okay that you did something wrong yourself, and now you want your daughter to follow you wrong. Do you want me to murder my husband? Not to mention that he is not at fault, everything is your fault. Even if he is at fault, it is my husband, Zhan'er's father, how can I do this? What do you think of me? It seems that I shouldn't have come to the palace this time, I knew that you were so obsessed, and it was useless for me to come. ”

Shen Akui's face was a little ashamed, and he smacked his lips and was speechless.

"To tell you the truth, my husband had a long conversation with me before he set out on the expedition, and he told me in person that he would be kind to you in my face. He said that he would not be cruel to you unless you forced him to have no way out. But if you are obsessed, this is your own death. Mother, you should introspect, I know that all this is your arrangement, including the matter of leading the local army into Beijing to fight. Today, all this was caused by my mother, and it was you who sent your brother into the fire pit with your own hands, and you may have killed him. Mother, you don't have to worry, husband, they will never do anything to you, but if

My brother is gone, mother, can you be at ease in the future? How do you explain this to your daddy? My daughter will try her best to ask her husband for help, but with your state of mind and attitude, my daughter may not be able to do anything. The world is about to change, it has really changed, don't you feel it? Don't live with your thoughts, the Great Zhou is no longer the previous Great Zhou, not Guo's, nor my husband's, but the Great Zhou of the world. All of us have to adapt to this change. Brother, my sister advises you, don't really regard yourself as an irreplaceable person, you are actually not that important. Is there a kind of prince and general Xiangning? I don't know whose surname it belongs to after Li Tang in the past. The general trend has changed, you have made a big mistake again, and if you don't bow your head, no one can save you. What if my mother and I die with you? Brother, you really don't have the capital to act willfully. With that said, it's time for Vile to go. Mother, brother, think about your daughter's words. ”

Guo Caiwei knelt down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother, then stood up and turned to leave. Guo Kun shouted at her back: "Sister, what are you?" Do you really refuse to help your brother? ”

Guo Caiwei didn't look back, and left quickly.

Guo Kun muttered a curse in his mouth, grabbed a pot of wine on the case and wanted to drink it. The Queen Mother Shen Akui said in a deep voice: "Don't drink it, Kun'er." Maybe...... We're really going to resign ourselves to our fate. Maybe your mother hurt you, if you refuse to admit your mistake, your mother will admit your mistake for you, and kneel in front of Lin Jue and beg him to spare you. Hey, I'm afraid I'm really dizzy. ”

……

On the official road in the north of Beijing, a soldier and horse are galloping towards the capital, and it is the cavalry and horses of the Luoyan Army. The Luoyan army won a complete victory in this battle, with little loss of soldiers and horses, less than 4,000 soldiers killed and more than 8,000 wounded. After the Jurchens were defeated, they withdrew from the territory of the Great Zhou, and Lin Jue ordered seven or eight generals in the army, including Lin Hu and Lu Yi, to lead their troops and horses to recover the three roads in the north and temporarily garrison them here. After that, soldiers and horses were recruited to garrison the border towns.

In this way, the 110,000 army had to be divided into several armies, except for the three troops and horses sent to the border town, Lin Jue could only lead 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry back to the capital with Ma Bin, Ma Qingshan, Lu Yi and others.

Lin Dashuai just let go of more than 20,000 Jurchen cavalry, although the generals in the army didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact, everyone had some thoughts in their hearts. To put it bluntly, many people think that this is Lin Dashuai's unfairness. The Jurchens committed a lot of atrocities and owed a lot of blood debts, but in the end, Lin Dashuai chose to let go of more than 20,000 guys whose hands were stained with the blood of the Great Zhou people, and even the blood of the brothers of the Luoyan Army, which really made everyone's hearts difficult to let go. To a certain extent, Lin Dashuai was coerced by his wife because of his private and public actions, which is not like Lin Dashuai's style. Lin Dashuai is not afraid that this will be criticized?

Many people have ideas in their hearts, but they refuse to say it out of respect for Lin Dashuai. It is even more impossible for Ma Bin, Liang Qi and others to complain about Lin Jue because of this. Therefore, on the way to triumph, everyone tried to avoid this topic and refused to talk about it.

Of course, Lin Jue himself understands that this move will cause confusion and dissatisfaction among many people. But Lin Jue didn't want to explain anything. Lin Jue actually had a very selfish secret in his heart, and he didn't want to expose this secret.

However, on the night of their arrival in Gyeonggi, the army was stationed on the north bank of Baekbadu that night. That night, when Lin Jue was walking with Ma Qingshan on the shore, Lin Jue took the initiative to mention the matter.

"Brother Ma, do you also think that it was selfish for me to let go of the Jurchens this time? Will it be criticized? Say that I let the tiger go back to the mountain, and say that I abolish the public because of personal gain? Lin Jue stood on the shore and looked at the big river rolling east under the moonlight, and took the initiative to ask.

Ma Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Qingshan doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but I think the big handsome must have the bitterness and deep meaning of the big handsome to do this." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "There is no deep meaning, but there is selfishness." I can make it clear to you. Other people may not understand, but you do. I told you what kind of government situation I want to turn my Great Zhou into, do you remember? ”

Ma Qingshan hurriedly said: "Of course I remember, you don't really want to do this, that is really an earth-shaking move." You have to think about it, you have to think about it, if you do this, it may cause a big mess. It may not be recognized by everyone. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "It seems that Brother Ma has thought about it and understands the difficulty of this matter." In fact, it lies in the human heart. However, do you think that this is the best way out for my big week in the future? Otherwise, it is inevitable that the mistakes of the past will be repeated in the future. The power is too centralized, and if a person is enshrined as a god, and power is not controlled, there will be problems of one kind and another. So something big has to happen. ”

Ma Qingshan nodded and said: "What the marshal said is that after listening to the marshal last time, I thought about it carefully and admired the marshal's good intentions. Except for the handsome, I'm afraid that no one in the world has thought of this kind of practice. But as the big marshal said, people's hearts are the most difficult to change. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "So, I want to do this, either I succeed and I can open up a new situation." Either I fail, or I will die with no place to bury. I don't think it's a small possibility that I'll be cut up in the streets. So I've got to leave a root for myself. In the future, if my Lin family is beheaded by people, there will still be a bloodline in the north. I'm not going to go out of business. Hahaha. So I let them go. I don't know if you are satisfied with this explanation. ”

Ma Qingshan couldn't smile bitterly, he never expected Lin Jue to have such an idea, which sounded a little ridiculous and child's play. But if what Lin Jue said is true, then what Dashuai means is actually that after he returns to the capital, he will carry out his big change that will surprise the world. He had prepared for the worst.
