Chapter 1020: The Return of the Dead
Mrs. Fang sighed lightly and said in a low voice, "You're right, I also feel that my husband has become powerful recently. When I returned home, I was silent, either pondering or writing something. Don't say much to me. A few days ago, he persuaded me to go to Hangzhou to find Huanqiu, so he stayed in Hangzhou and didn't come back. He said that he still has to do things to change the law, and he can't give up halfway. The old body doesn't understand either, but I guess that he wants to continue to implement what changes he and Lord Yan have made. This Lao Shizi thing is very harmful, and he and Lord Yan follow the devil and ponder this matter every day. If it weren't for the emperor's responsibility last time, I'm afraid something would have happened. I'm so worried that something else will happen. ”
Lin Jue frowned and pondered. Changing the law is the mission of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, and it is also their political life. The end of political life is tantamount to the end of life for these two men. Therefore, even if the recent impeachment was resolved by the edict of the guilty, it will never shake their determination to change the law. With Lin Jue's understanding of the two adults, they will never stop.
But the problem is that the current time is actually extremely unsuitable for regenerating waves, and if the two adults mention the change in the army at this time, I am afraid that it will cause great waves. What's more, in fact, if they don't do anything now, they will be the target of others' key attacks. Just like Yang Xiu and Guo Xu secretly asked or blackmailed themselves to do it, they are looking for all ways to bring down the two adults. The wisest thing to do at this moment is to be quiet for a while, how to regenerate the waves.
But Lin Jue also knew that if Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru were the kind of people who retreated to the world because of difficulties, they would not be in today's situation. Fang Dunru actually took a tacit acquiescence to Huanqiu and his own affairs, which seemed to show that he had a clear understanding of his situation, and seemed to know that he would not have a good ending. Therefore, he would rather have Fang Huanqiu by his side, which is good for Fang Huanqiu.
Lin Jue suddenly remembered what Fang Dunru said this morning, he patted his shoulder and said that he wanted to treat Huanqiu well, thinking about it at the moment, this seemed to mean entrusting Huanqiu to himself. This means that he has decided to go ahead. No wonder I felt a little weird at the time.
"Mother, you persuade Daddy, don't change the law anymore, I'm really worried." Fang Huanqiu said softly.
Mrs. Fang sighed and said, "Qiu'er, you don't know your father's temper yet?" How can my mother persuade him? When he came to the capital as an official, his mother persuaded him not to come back. We are good at Matsuyama Academy, why do we want to come? But Qiu'er, your father is a man and a man with great ambitions, I can neither persuade him to look back, nor do I want him to do nothing in his life. He did what he wanted to do, and his mother couldn't stop it or dissuade it. Maybe this is his life, and it is also his mother's life. My mother has figured it out, since I am married to your father, I will not hold him back in whatever he wants. If something happens because of this, my mother will also stand by his side and suffer the consequences together. Qiu'er, you have to do the same. What Lin Jue wants to do in the future, you must not pull him back, but stand beside him, this is husband and wife. ”
When Lin Jue heard this, he sighed in his heart. He somewhat understands why Mr. and Mrs. are so different personalities, and even you think that people who are not a good match can be in love with each other for so many years and have such a good relationship. You will find that Fang Dunru is always so relaxed in front of his wife, and he is full of love for his wife. That's because, although the master and wife seem to be spicy, she is like an ordinary market woman. But she was respectful, tolerant and loyal to her husband from the bottom of her heart. She understands his heart, knows his retribution, and understands his feelings. So no matter what decision Mr. makes, she stands firmly by his side. Although there are complaints and dissatisfaction, they will never pull their hind legs and cry and persecute Mr. To some extent, my wife is my husband's bosom friend. Even if the gentleman faced the fingers of the thousand husbands, the master and wife were definitely the ones who stood silently beside him, cleaned and bandaged his wounds, and comforted his tired body and mind.
What is a husband and wife, this may be a model of husband and wife. There is no respect for each other, only mutual affection. There are no sweet words, but they will be loyal to each other and never betray.
"Master, please bring a message to sir. Let's just say that Lin Jue understands what he did and respects his choice. But don't be in such a hurry. Maybe after a year and a half, Lin Jue will go back to help him realize the change of the law. This matter is really urgent. You tell the gentleman that the fist is withdrawn for more power, not for cowardice. You can't rush it, you really can't do it right now. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Fang looked at Lin Jue, nodded slightly, and said, "Lin Jue...... You're really nice. There are two most satisfying things in my wife's life, one is to marry your husband, and the other is that Huanqiu can meet you. Your husband treats you like that, and you never complain. Don't worry, I'll bring your words to your husband, but I'm afraid he won't listen. You know his temper too. But you have this heart, and my wife is already very moved. ”
Lin Jue sighed lightly, he knew that his master was right. Fang Dunru might not listen to his words, and he could only hope to attract Fang Dunru's attention. Even if he only listened to it a little, it might have a different result.
"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. Lin Jue, Qiu'er has been handed over to you, I know you will treat him well. Your husband and I are very relieved. I went. Mrs. Fang stood up and said.
Lin Jue and Fang Huanqiu hurriedly asked her to stay for dinner before leaving, but Mrs. Fang insisted on leaving. She said to Huanqiu: "My mother is satisfied when she sees that you are safe, and it is the happiest thing for my mother to be satisfied with your wishes." Mother has to go back, the house is deserted, and your father doesn't even have anyone to talk to after he comes back, so how can it be good? Mother has to go back to cook hot wine for your father and talk to him. Besides, your dad wants to know about you, too. When my mother went back, she told him, I Qiu'er lives in a big house, and there are people around me to serve me, and I don't know how many times better it is than at home. Your dad will be at ease. Qiu'er, my mother is gone, serve Lin Jue well, and I will be the wife of the Lin family after I get married in the future, I must respect and love my superiors, don't be petty, you know? ”
Fang Huanqiu's heart was inexplicably sour, and for some reason, she heard some ominous feelings from her mother's words, but she didn't dare to think about it, and she was very worried in her heart.
Mrs. Fang insisted on leaving, and Lin Jue had to arrange a carriage and horse to send her back. He Huanqiu sent it to the door, watched the carriage go away, and turned around to find that Fang Huanqiu had burst into tears.
……
After the early morning dynasty, the court entered a strange calm. Early in the morning, the court postponed the agreement on the appointment of the crown prince, which eliminated the dispute to a certain extent. Or, at least on the surface, there is no longer a reason to be distracted. And the matter of changing the law has not regenerated waves, and the upper and lower people seem to have entered hibernation because of the increasingly cold weather.
Guo Chong's illness is getting better day by day, and he is the one who smiles the most and laughs the most heartily every morning. He felt like he had been given a new lease of life, a new life. Every morning is a trivial matter, and officials seem to be deliberately avoiding sensitive topics rather than spoiling the rare tranquil atmosphere. Although everyone knows that this tranquility is actually only temporary, after all, several major matters in the imperial court have not yet been decided, and there are still completely different opinions. Sooner or later, this calm will be broken.
Lin Jue is very busy. Guo Chong did not break his promise, and really took the lead in mobilizing the palace to donate clothes and money for counterpart assistance, and the officials of the DPRK and China had to follow suit, and the people also actively contributed their strength. Because it was Lin Jue who presided over it, Liang Wangfu was bleeding profusely and donated 100,000 taels of silver to support the counterpart help. Guo Mian, the king of Jin, also donated a lot of money. Even Guo Xu, the king of Huai, sent someone to send five thousand taels of silver and a cart of clothes.
In a few days, the whole city donated as much as 900,000 yuan in relief silver, and the relief materials were even filled with hundreds of carts. Every day, Lin Jue sent a convoy full of supplies and grain to Jingxi Road at the East City Gate. Driven by the capital, Huainan Road and several major state capitals in the south also took action, and materials and grain began to be transported to Jingxi Road. Lin Jue made calculations, the materials allocated by the imperial court and the materials and food provided by the counterpart should be able to ensure that the people of Jingdong and West Road survive this winter. As long as the weather warms up, everything will be fine.
Lin Jue also went to Yang Jun and proposed a plan to replace labor with relief. Based on the decision of the imperial court, Yang Jun needed to hurry up to consolidate the defenses of the border towns and prepare for the war that would most likely occur after the severance of diplomatic relations and the severance of the city. This requires a lot of labour. The people of Jingxi Road can't sit and eat and do nothing. Therefore, Lin Jue proposed to select tens of thousands of people from Jingxi Road to go to the border towns to participate in the construction of fortifications and cities, so that they could be paid. In addition to eating, you can also earn a sum of silver. This is extremely beneficial for the resumption of production and home use after the beginning of spring.
Although Yang Jun was not very interested in Lin Jue, such a suggestion was a win-win plan, and he naturally would not refuse. After Guo Chong was brought to know, Guo Chong also praised it and felt that it was feasible. This was done.
One morning at the end of November, just as Lin Jue was busy reorganizing the convoy and ordering the departure out of the city, a young man with a package on his back, a dirty cotton robe, and a dusty face appeared at the gate of the city.
Lin Jue recognized him at a glance, turned over and dismounted immediately, walked quickly to meet him, and laughed loudly: "Brother Du, you can count it." Oh, I'm so anxious to wait. ”
The young man saw that Lin Jue was also busy smiling and returning the salute, and said with a smile: "Lord Lin, it's polite." ”
The person who came was Du Weichuan, and since Lin Jue asked Guo Chong by name for Du Weijian as his deputy, more than half a month has passed. Du Weijian finally arrived in the capital. Du Weijian is a passerby from Jingdong East, and he has been with the capital for thousands of miles, so it is no wonder that it took him so long to arrive in the capital after receiving the appointment.
"You really make me look through the autumn water." Lin Jue laughed and stepped forward to hold Du Weiji's arm. For some reason, when he saw Du Weijian again, Lin Jue felt a sense of no estrangement in his heart, just like an old friend meeting.
