Zhang Hanqiu shook his head and said: "Although I don't understand Lord Lin and Lord Liang's actions of going out of the capital, let alone your actions of falling into the grass, but in my mind, Lord Lin is not only my life-saving benefactor, but also the person I admire the most." I still treat you as the same Lord Lin at the beginning. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Whatever, shout as much as you like." What is the current position of Lord Zhang? Have you been promoted? ”

Zhang Hanqiu smiled bitterly: "Promotion? How can it be? All the officials of our three divisions and the yamen have been replaced. Since the emperor ascended the throne, the lower officials have been transferred from the three divisions and yamen, and now they are serving in the Ministry of Rites, taking care of trivial matters such as sacrificial etiquette. ”

Lin Jue smacked his lips and said, "It seems that I have been affected by it." ”

Zhang Hanqiu said: "That's nothing, it's also idle." There is nothing to do every day, just reading and learning words, and I don't hear anything outside the window. Besides, even if they don't demote me and transfer me out, I won't serve in the Yamen of the Third Division. Who are your current three envoys? ”

Lin Jue said: "Who is it?" It's nothing more than Lu Xiang's cronies. ”

Zhang Hanqiu laughed, gritted his teeth and said: "You don't believe it, Lu Zhongtian's stupid son Lu Tianci became the third envoy." Tell me, what's this called? Lu Zhongtian is also too shameless, Lu Tianci has no merit, no meritorious, and he is still a fool, Lu Zhongtian actually made him the third envoy. In the name of beauty, let people not avoid relatives. said that Lu Tianci was taken hostage by you when Lord Lin betrayed the capital, but he was also indomitable and not afraid of your coercion and temptation. He also left clues with cleverness and wit, leading the officers and soldiers to catch up with you. Eventually, you were forced to flee into the mountains. said that he had merit in this matter, so the court made an exception to promote him. Tell me, isn't that laughing to death? ”

Lin Jue was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had heard the funniest words in the world, tears of laughter flowed horizontally, and he couldn't breathe. Zhang Hanqiu was the same, leaning back and closing with laughter.

"Toss, toss, this Great Zhou Jiangshan will soon be surnamed Lu. Lu Zhongtian, this old thief, is really shameless. There used to be some scruples, but now it has reached this point. I'm a big Zhou Jiangshan Sheji, I'm afraid it's about to happen. Zhang Hanqiu shook his head while laughing, laughter was worse than crying.

Lin Jue smiled and sighed: "Lu Zhongtian is treating the people of the world as fools by doing this." This is to help Lu Tianci on the horse and send him off again, for fear that after him, the Lu family will not be able to control the power of the court. ”

Zhang Hanqiu nodded and said, "Isn't it?" Now the officials have begun to call Lu Tianci the little minister in private. Does Lu Zhongtian mean to hand over the position of prime minister to Lu Tianci? It's incredible. I only heard that Jiangshan Sheji is a family, and I haven't heard that the prime minister can also be hereditary. It's ridiculous. If Lu Tianci becomes the prime minister, I'm afraid that Da Zhou will become the laughing stock of the world. Smoke miasma, smoke miasma. ”

Lin Jue only felt deep sadness in his heart, the so-called power minister was in charge, and there was nothing more than this. Lu Zhongtian is afraid that he is also old and confused, and it is actually extremely unwise to do this, which has completely disregarded the interests of the imperial court and the words and eyes of the world. For the sake of private gain, it has reached the point of desperation. Guo Xu didn't know how he could tolerate this. Although Guo Xu is a beast, but Lu Zhongtian did this, he should also be extremely dissatisfied. Maybe one day, Guo Xu is afraid that he will have to solve this grandfather who helped him to take the position, because Lu Zhongtian has already gone to an extreme.

"Lord Lin, if you were in the court, where would such a ridiculous thing happen? Hey, it's a pity...... It's useless to say that now. It was like a nightmare. Every time I think of these things, I feel sad and can't sleep. Zhang Hanqiu smacked his lips and said.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "So far, I won't mention those anymore." There is no turning back, and I don't want to. Master Zhang, you just remember that what I did was not a betrayal of Da Zhou. I, Lin Jue, will never be a disloyal and unfilial person. Don't care what others say, just respect your heart and stick to your own principles. When the ghosts are rampant, it is often the time when the sky is about to dawn. ”

Zhang Hanqiu nodded slightly and said: "Xiaguan naturally believes in Lord Lin, they say that Lord Lin rebelled in the name of King Liang and wants to overthrow the Great Zhou and establish a new dynasty, I will never believe it." Lord Lin is by no means the kind of person who ignores morality and is ambitious. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said: "They are naturally trying their best to smear me now, after all, I am inseparable from them." I don't care about that. By the way, Lord Zhang, I heard that something happened in the imperial court, the Liao Kingdom was in chaos, and Yelu Zongyuan sent someone to ask for help and repair in our court, is there such a thing? ”

Zhang Hanqiu nodded and said: "There is indeed a thing, because of this, there is a lot of noise in the court." The emperor wanted to send troops to help the Liao, but many people didn't understand, and the emperor stopped it, but the emperor wanted to go his own way. Lu Xiang and Yang Shumi both agreed to send troops without any compensation, which is really puzzling. Some people say that this is exactly the idea of Lü Xiang and Yang Shumi, and that the Liao envoy sent a lot of valuable gifts to Lü Xiang and Yang Shumi. If this is true, Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun will be sinners through the ages. For his own selfishness, he disregarded the dignity and interests of the imperial court. It is unreasonable for the Liao State to insult my Great Zhou so much at the beginning, but now it wants to use its own soldiers and horses to help them quell the rebellion regardless of compensation. I'm short of supplies, money and food in Da Zhou, but I want to help them? Isn't this a swollen face and a fat man? It's just incomprehensible. ”

Lin Jue nodded, he just wanted to confirm this matter. What he said may not be true, but from Zhang Hanqiu's mouth, it must be the truth.

"Maybe they don't think about it, it's useless to oppose it, it's better to save some energy. Well, I won't talk about it. I have come to see you today because I have something to ask for your help. Lin Jue said.

Zhang Hanqiu hurriedly said: "Yes, Xia Guan is about to ask." If Lord Lin wants the official to help, just say that the official will do his best. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Don't worry, it's not a difficult matter, I just want to ask you to inquire about something for me." A few months ago, after I rebelled out of the capital, in order to prevent the court from retaliating against my Lin family, I sent someone to inform me that everyone from the Lin family in Hangzhou also went to the mountains to avoid trouble. However, my second uncle, Lin Bonian...... You also know each other, and you used to work in the Third Division. But he refused to leave. The reason, it doesn't hurt to say it, he feels that entering the mountain is a bandit, and he feels humiliated, so he insists on refusing. What I know is that Chen Jue, the commander of the Imperial City Division, personally led people to Hangzhou to arrest my Lin family, and my second uncle was afraid that he would also take it. Everyone in my family is very concerned about this matter, and this time I came to the capital to inquire about the news. If he is arrested, he will be escorted to the capital, I want to know how he is now? There must be a message whether you are dead or alive, and if you can rescue it, you can also think of a way......"

The look on Zhang Hanqiu's face was a little wrong, and after Lin Jue finished speaking, Zhang Hanqiu smacked his lips and said softly: "Lord Lin originally came here for this matter. Ay...... Xia Guan didn't know how to speak...... The officials know about this matter, and I have been paying attention to the news of Master Lin. It's just that...... Hey......"

Lin Jue frowned and said, "What?" What's not to say? ”

Zhang Hanqiu said: "Lord Lin, I heard that the Imperial City Division took Lord Lin in Hangzhou, and on the way back to Beijing, Lord Lin ...... Committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. ”

Lin Jue was taken aback and said in amazement: "What? ”

Zhang Hanqiu said: "I heard that Chen Jue forced Master Lin to write a letter announcing that the world would sever relations with you. If you want him to say that you are willing to fall into the grass and become a coward, and that the people of the Lin family you have harmed have no shame to see their ancestors and ancestors. In short, they want to slander and attack you with the mouth of Master Lin, creating the illusion that you are betraying your relatives. When Mr. Lin refused, Chen Jue forced him with torture and insults. Reputedly...... Reputedly...... They feed the old man horse dung and horse urine...... The old man was humiliated and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. ”

Lin Jue was stunned and speechless, unable to speak for a long time, and was very sad in his heart.

Zhang Hanqiu sighed and said, "Lord Lin, the festival mourns and changes. The old man's life is also full of ups and downs, but there are solar terms when he is dying. People always die, please don't be too sad. ”

Lin Jue's heart was not a taste. In fact, as early as a few months ago, when he learned that Lin Bonian was reluctant to enter the mountain, Lin Jue was actually mentally prepared and knew that Lin Bonian was unlucky. Therefore, Lin Bonian was killed, in fact, Lin Jue had already made psychological expectations. However, when he really heard the news of Lin Bonian's death and died in this way, Lin Jue still couldn't accept it. Although Lin Bonian did not have much achievement in this life, he did not contribute much to the Lin family, and even almost harmed the Lin family. The relationship with Lin Jue cannot be considered close. But once upon a time, Lin Bonian was also the pride and idol of the Lin family. Lin Jue's memory when he was very young was about the tall image of this second uncle. The people in the clan talked about Lin Bonian, and their faces were full of brilliance. Although Lin Bonian has done a lot of dirty things in the capital, those are long in the past. After the dismissal, Lin Bonian still did a lot for the revitalization of the Lin family.

The reason why Lin Bonian refused to enter the mountain Lin Jue also thought about it, after all, Lin Bonian was a scholar, after all, he had seen the world. For Lin Jue's rebellious actions, he must have rejected them in his heart. Monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, Gang Ji Lun Chang, these things are still binding in his heart. He refused to go into the mountains, fearing that it was also because of the constraints of these things. It is understandable for him to think about the problem from his own point of view, compared to him, Lin Boyong does not have so many concerns, and he also looks at the problem from the perspective of the whole clan. When the Lin family is in danger, Lin Boyong will not hesitate to choose the path to protect the Lin family, without thinking too much.

Lin Bonian was arrested after all, which is actually expected. Chen Jue personally went to arrest people, where can Lin Bonian hide? Hangzhou is so big, where can he go as a dying person. Besides, in Hangzhou, Lin Bonian is also a person with big goals, and he can't hide himself. If what Zhang Hanqiu said is true, then in the end, the second uncle still completed the final breakthrough, adhered to the bottom line of being a member of the Lin family, and was not forced to do anything that harmed the Lin family. This can be regarded as the final redemption in his life.
