The morning sun is rising, and the streets and alleys of Bianliang City, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are busy with traffic, noisy and prosperous. For the people of the capital, this is just an ordinary busy day in their lives, but for the entire Great Zhou court, today is a special day.

In the major inns in the capital, the main military and political officials of the local places who live here all get up early, carefully take care of their appearance, and put on official robes and armor that reflect their status. The carriages and horses that came to pick up these officials arrived in front of the inn early, and they were all the carriages and horses sent by the forbidden army to pick up the officials and generals. Officials are all black carts, and military generals are all high-headed horses, regardless of the size of the official position, they are uniformly standard, and there are no exceptions.

Soon after, the mighty carriages and horses drove from all over the inner city to the east city, and the neat and uniform lineup of carriages and horses attracted the street people to look sideways, pointing and pointing to each other.

"Oh, what happened in this battle? I came from Bianhe South Street, and there was also such a team of carriages and horses. It's not going to the palace, what is this going to do? ”

"Dude, you're a lonely man. Don't you know about the gathering of officials from all over the Great Zhou in the capital? Last night in Fanlou, Prime Minister Lin of my eldest Zhou even paid out of his own pocket to invite these officials to drink. Today, this is going to the forbidden military academy in the eastern outer city, and these are all officials from other places who have come to Beijing. ”

"I see. But what did they do when they went to the schoolyard? Can you tell us more? ”

"Ahem, you really don't seem to care about it. The imperial court is about to change dramatically, you know? Prime Minister Lin summoned these officials to Beijing to discuss this matter. Outside the Donghua Gate that day, haven't you heard what Prime Minister Lin said? Our big week is going to change, and something big is going to happen. It's really confusing that you're still asking what's going on. ”

"Oh, is Brother Tai saying that Prime Minister Lin wants to be the emperor?"

"Hey, don't you talk nonsense, why is the emperor not the emperor? You dare to say this, if someone hears it, you will be unlucky, and I will be unlucky. I'm leaving, you don't speak lightly or seriously, I don't dare to talk to you more. ”

"Hey, brother, let's make it clear. Don't go, hey, hey! ”

……

The people on the street talked a lot, and they couldn't agree with each other. However, there are many people who understand that today is the day when the officials of the court discuss important matters. According to the exclusive grapevine of well-informed sources, what all officials have to discuss today is the major event proposed by Prime Minister Lin and approved by the emperor that has a great impact on the political pattern of the court. The Dongying campus is today's venue.

All the officials' chariots and horses left the city from Lijingmen and arrived at the Dongjun Barracks School Yard, which was located in the East Water Gate. Everyone needs to verify their identity in front of the barracks and get a badge called a 'political card', which shows the name, official position, place of origin, appearance, and so on of the cardholder. All officials were informed that from this day onwards, this card is required to enter and exit the barracks and school grounds, and that if it is lost or damaged, they will be disqualified.

Although there were many people, they were busy and not chaotic because of the proper arrangement, and the officials who arrived one after another were given political cards, and the people who held the cards entered the gate of the barracks under the guidance of a special person. Passing through neat rows of barracks and through the cordon set up by the forbidden army, the officers arrived at the side of the school yard in the center of the barracks. But I don't know when I saw that the colonel's field, which was originally empty, was already in the air

A huge building was erected. It was a temporary venue made of wood and bamboo for the political assembly. The venue spans most of the school field, 300 steps long and more than 100 steps wide, although it is only temporarily built, and it is very hasty and simple, but at a glance it also shows a magnificent and majestic atmosphere.

Those who are attentive saw the huge screen standing on the inside of the main entrance of the venue, on which a few lines of big characters were written: Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. Those who have seen a little know that these four sentences are the famous words of the late Great Zhou famous Confucian Fang Dunru, and they are also his motto. Today's four sentences appear on the huge screen at the entrance of the venue, which cannot help but cause people to think deeply.

In the venue, rows of seats were neatly arranged, and there were nameplates on the tables in front of them, and officials only needed to take their seats. A one-person-high wooden platform was built in front of it, and dozens of tables and chairs were placed. The dragon flags on both sides are arranged, and the momentum is extraordinary.

The people entered the venue one after another, and soon, the huge venue was full of people. Nearly 2,000 officials were separated and sat in a phalanx, all of them looking excited and nervous. The vast majority of them have never experienced such an occasion: thousands of officials gathered to discuss a matter of state, and the event to be discussed today is clearly extraordinary, obviously earth-shattering.

At the same time, Lin Jue and dozens of important ministers of the court entered the venue, and all the officials immediately stood up and saluted. Lin Jue smiled, bowed his hands, and led everyone to the wooden platform in front. Today, Lin Jue's dress is also rare and solemn, wearing a purple official robe that symbolizes the best quality, a black python belt around his waist, and a golden fish bag hanging. The person in the purple coat with the gold bag is the status symbol of the best master. He has a black velvet winged head on his head, and the hat is inlaid with the finest green jade. Lin Jue himself is a slender figure, a clothes rack, and handsome, at this moment, wearing this official robe and hat looks more chic and handsome, and his appearance is dignified.

What made everyone present feel even more deeply was the bearing revealed between Lin Jue's gestures. Temperament is an illusory thing, but as the so-called 'moving qi and nourishing the body', Lin Jue was originally just a concubine of the Shangjia family, and he didn't care about his bearing. If you talk about the bearing at that time, it is the spirit of weakness, the cowardly spirit of a little family, but there is nothing worthy of awe. But after so many years of trials and hardships, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood have waded over, after many tribulations and dangers, countless experiences of birth and death, and countless bloody battles in the territory have formed the murderous aura on Lin Jue's body. The air of self-confidence that comes with great strategy. The courage brought by brave adventures, the elegance brought by poetry and books, the majesty of the superior brought by the backbone of everyone, and the mysterious spirit of being a traverser. These kinds of temperaments are combined and fused into Lin Jue's unique charming and awe-inspiring temperament. This temperament makes the people around him both respect and fear Lin Jue, both admiration and elusiveness, both close and fearful, extremely complicated.

Overall, in the eyes of the officials, the young prime minister in front of him was by no means as handsome and weak as he looked, and the majesty of the superior on his body naturally formed a kind of coercion. Everywhere he looked, everyone could feel a kind of coercion that penetrated their hearts, as if in front of this person, all their inner thoughts could not be hidden.

Lin Jue and his entourage went up to the wooden platform in front of him, Lin Jue stood at the entrance of the platform and turned around, his eyes swept the audience, and he shouted in a deep voice: "There is a holy decree!" ”

Hearing this, all the officials hurriedly left their seats and knelt on the ground, except for Lin Jue, all the officials on the stage also knelt on the ground. Lin Jue smashed it

mouth, reached out and took out the holy decree from his sleeve, and slowly unfolded it.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said: Ladies and gentlemen, I know that today's meeting is going to be in person. However, I have been ill recently and it is inconvenient to move, so I plan to ask Lin Aiqing to read it out on my behalf. Ladies and gentlemen, since I ascended the throne, every time I think about what I have experienced in the Great Zhou, my heart is troubled and worried, and I can't sleep at night. I think of my big Zhou and my country, how prosperous. Now the depravity is humiliated by external enemies, taken advantage of by internal thieves, wars and turmoil, catastrophes, misery of the people, and robbery of living beings, which is really a heart-wrenching thing. Back then, the ancestors overcame thorns and thorns to open up the territory and establish the kingdom of our Great Zhou, and our descendants did not know the law of governing the country, and even today's situation, which is really unfilial. Now that I have ascended the throne as the emperor, I have the responsibility of cleaning up the rivers and mountains to revive the Great Zhou. Until late that night, I met an immortal in a dream, and I complained of my distress and asked for a solution from the immortal family. The immortals told me that the rise and fall of the country, the rise and fall, seems to be an inviolable reason, but in fact it is controlled by internal manpower. When the sage is in power, the world is peaceful and prosperous, and when the deaf are in power, the world is disturbed. Disorderly. Therefore, the reason for prosperity and decline actually lies in the hands of one person. If you want to break out of it, you need to be wise, brave and open-minded. Governing the country with sages, the world is always prosperous. The Great Zhou lasts for eternity, and this is the greatest achievement, and there is no need to care about the subsections. I woke up and thought hard, and suddenly had an epiphany, I have no way to save the country, I force myself to do it, and I will repeat the mistakes of my previous life. The sage governs the country, which is the way to the prosperity of the Great Zhou. In view of this, I discussed with Lin Aiqing and other ministers of the court and the central government the law of governing the country with a sage, and I gained a lot. Today, Lin Aiqing and all Aiqing discuss the way of the sage to govern the country, which is for the prosperity of my Great Zhou Kingdom for ten thousand years, which is my heart's wish, and there is no other feeling. The prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the longevity of the country are my greatest achievements. That's all I want, nothing else. Zhong Aiqing should understand my inner thoughts, and don't be disturbed by rumors. Lin Aiqing and all of you Aiqing are all loyal ministers of our Great Zhou, and state affairs are entrusted to you for discussion, and I am extremely relieved. I hope that all of you Aiqing can brainstorm and find a good way to revitalize the Great Zhou and crown the world. Chin this! ”

Lin Jue's loud voice recited this holy decree without hindrance, and there was silence in the venue. Everyone heard something from the decree that shocked them. Although it has been rumored for a long time, listening to the holy decree today, I really realize that some things may change drastically. The emperor's decree himself said clearly, he thought that the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the most important, and he admitted that he had no way to save the country, so he entrusted Lin Jue and everyone to discuss the law of the sage governing the country, the meaning could not be clearer, and he decided to let go. Some people heard some strange flavors in the holy decree, such as the words of the immortals who were enlightened were illusory after all. In the end, he specifically asked everyone not to be disturbed by rumors, which actually has a hidden sense of helplessness. However, the general meaning of this decree is to let go and let the people discuss how to govern the country by the sage.

"Long live my emperor, long live!" The ministers bowed their heads and shouted.

"This holy decree is deceitful, I am afraid that it was not intended by the emperor himself, or the emperor was forced to draft. This is an exaggeration, this is a rebellion! An officer stood up and screamed.

Lin Jue looked at him with a frown, and Sun Dayong shouted: "Come on, take this person." ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Don't take him, don't take him." Let him say, let him say. This is what he thinks in his heart, and it is also what many people think in their hearts, let them say it. If I, Lin Jue, don't have this measure, how dare I stand on this. Tall, if there's anything else you want to say, just say it. ”
