Chapter 257: Good News and Bad News
Guo Bing was a little embarrassed, his daughters had all read the West Chamber, and they all came out to defend themselves, and they couldn't talk about this topic anymore. Fortunately, Yan Zhengsu spoke up to alleviate his embarrassment.
"Lin Jue, the prince is a good intention. I don't want you to get in trouble. The prince is sitting in Hangzhou, so he naturally doesn't want the atmosphere in Hangzhou to become bad and be criticized. What is the content of the West Chamber, the official does not know, but if there is no change, it will be encouraged, and the repertoire is used to entertain people, but it is not to harm people, let alone violate the law of etiquette, otherwise it is asking for trouble. ”
Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "What Lord Yan taught is that Lord Yan taught me that the West Chamber will stop the performance immediately." ”
Guo Bing laughed and said: "What Lord Yan said is exactly what this king wants to say, Lin Jue, don't be unconvinced." Take today's "Dou E's Injustice" as an example, this king does not deny the excitement of this play, and this king has never seen such a wonderful play. However, there are some episodes in which the king thinks that some are excessive. I am in the prosperous world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Haiqing River Yan is peaceful in the four seas, but your repertoire is full of bad people, from officials to idle people, almost no good people. What does that mean? Is it insinuating that my officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty are corrupt and the people's customs are erosive? Although Dou E was wronged, you arranged for her to make three poisonous oaths, what snow flew in June, and there was a great drought for three years, how could these vicious curses be openly revealed? Isn't this teaching the people badly? These episodes are unnecessary, you use them to sensationalize, this is going to happen. ”
Lin Jue put away his smile, frowned and asked, "According to the prince's thoughts, how should this drama be changed?" ”
"The king of the sect said that when the question is beheaded, then Dou Tianzhang will appear, re-tried, keep people under the knife, and the bad people will be punished. There is also what Dou Tianzhang in front of him used a woman to pay off his debts, and that didn't work out. How could such a person later become a court official? If morality does not exist, let alone serve the country and be the master of the people? In a word...... There are too many changes to be made, and I can't finish talking about them for a while. Guo Bing waved his hand.
Lin Jue couldn't help laughing: "According to the prince's reform, is this play still called Dou E's injustice?" ”
"The name can be changed, why stick to this name? Lin Jue, in the prosperous era of the Great Zhou, you should write some plays that praise the wisdom of the saints and the prosperity of the Great Zhou, rather than these petty loves, or even dark and obscure plays. This is not good, the pattern is not big, and it can't be a big thing. Guo Bing said.
Without waiting for Lin Jue to speak, he said solemnly and solemnly: "Lord Wang, the officials don't dare to agree with these words. You and I are here to watch the play, everything in the play is fake, the prince is thinking too much. Besides, is it really as the prince said that today is the peaceful and prosperous era of Haiqing Heyan? I don't think so. The people are suffering, the officialdom is inside, and the prince really doesn't know anything? ”
Guo Bing frowned and said, "Lord Yan, it's really surprising that these words came out of your mouth. You're a court official, do you mean what you mean? ”
Yan Zhengsu frowned and said: "The lower officials don't have any special references, but there are some things on the surface, why pretend not to know?" The prince doesn't have to borrow a play to play, in the official's opinion, Dou E acted very well, there are many grievances in this world, but it is not explicit. Since the prince is here to cheer, he can just make a tasting evaluation, and he doesn't have to be difficult. Dou E's grievances are very good, even if there is a suspicion of reality, there is no need to make a big fuss. ”
Guo Bing coughed and said, "Lord Yan, what you said is also right. This king is actually ...... In fact, it is difficult to talk about that matter, just find some topics. Or, what about it? This king really can't open his mouth. ”
Yan Zhengsu sighed and said, "I knew that the prince was going around in circles, since that's the case, I'll talk about it." This one...... If there are no dry people, please step down. You don't have to sit in on this. ”
Hearing this, Xie Yingying, Xie Danhong and others all retired, and the palace guards also retreated. The little prince made his eyes look at the little county lord and asked the little county lord to leave, but the little county lord turned a blind eye and stuck to the bench with his buttocks, Guo Kun rolled his eyes and had no choice but to give up.
Lin Jue didn't frown slightly, he suddenly noticed a hint of something strange from the conversation between the prince and Lord Yan. What are these two guys playing? Is there something bad going to happen?
"That's it, let's get straight to the point, the prince likes to go around in circles, and the official doesn't like to go around in circles. Lin Jue, today the official and the prince came to watch the play at the same time, do you think you are surprised? Yan Zhengsu turned to Lin Jue and said in a deep voice.
"I was really surprised by the presence of the prince and the prefect. Thank you to the prince and the prefect Yan for coming to support me. Lin Jue arched his hand.
"Yes, we are indeed here to support you, except for you, I am afraid that no one in Hangzhou City can let the prince and the little prince come to support in person. But we have something else to tell you about besides cheering. Yan Zhengsu frowned.
"What's that, it looks like it's very important, it's not like it's coming to grab me and cut off my head. I didn't commit any crimes. If you cut off my head, I will be more wronged than Dou E. If you don't do it, you have to make a poisonous oath, let Hangzhou have a big drought for three years, and let God have a heavy snowfall. Lin Jue said with a grin.
The little county lord laughed out loud, Guo Kun turned his head and glared at her, and the little county lord hurriedly covered his mouth and turned his head to look out the window.
solemnly solemnly said: "Lin Jue, this is talking about business." ”
Lin Jue hurriedly confessed and sat up straight.
"There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Solemn and solemn.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Didn't you say that you don't go around in circles? Which one does Lord Yan want to say? When you do this, I am very nervous. ”
Yan Zhengsu smacked his lips and waved his hand: "That's it, I'll just say it directly, let's talk about the good news first." The pirates are in civil strife. Hai Dongqing was nowhere to be found, and some of the pirates surrendered to the Ning Navy yesterday. ”
"Huh?" Lin Jue jumped up in surprise: "Really? ”
"Then can there be a fake? After we left Peach Blossom Island, civil strife broke out among the remaining pirates. It is said that the 2,000 pirates on an island in the south did not want to follow Haidongqing anymore, so they set up their own flags. Hai Dongqing refused to rest, and took 3,000 people to fight them, but not only did they not fight, but in turn, the remaining 1,000 bandits on Big Bird Island also betrayed them, shooting them with bows and arrows so that they could not go to the island. The trestle bridge has not been repaired, the food supplies are still on Big Bird Island, and the remaining more than 1,000 people under Hai Dongqing cannot gain a foothold on Peach Blossom Island, so they can only flee north. The exact whereabouts have not yet been known, but it is certain that they have left the waters around eastern Zhejiang. Yan Zheng said solemnly.
Lin Jue raised his forehead and said happily: "This is really good news, there are still six thousand pirates left, which is also a big hidden danger." I didn't expect to go back to my own internal strife and split into three. It's completely out of the woods now. Haha, I've been thinking for a long time, Hai Dongqing has experienced such a big defeat, what will those people under him think. What is the meaning of these people? If there is a chance, he will rebel, isn't his position Hai Dongqing obtained from the rebellion at the beginning? Hehe, it didn't disappoint me. ”
Yan Zhengsu and Guo Bing both laughed, Lin Jue's joy was understandable, most of the reason was not because of Hai Dongqing's downfall, but because it was a dangerous relief for Lin Jue. Hai Dongqing has reached such a situation, how can he have time to deal with Lin Jue? He was forced to take people out of the sea area of eastern Zhejiang to find a place to live, and he couldn't come back for a while, and Lin Jue was afraid that this was exactly this.
"Lin Jue, from now on, you don't have to worry about Hai Dongqing being unfavorable to you." Guo Kun said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "I can indeed breathe a sigh of relief, but it's only temporary, Hai Dongqing is not dead, and he is always uneasy in his heart, but at least for now, he can't take care of me." This is really good news, not only for me, but also for the people of Hangzhou, Lord Yan and Wang Ye and Xiao Wangye. The bandits are divided into three, and they will only be able to disturb the sea in the future, and they will never dare to step into the interior half a step. If there is a chance, the Ning Navy can encircle and suppress it again. ”
Guo Bing didn't like to hear this good news, and he never wanted to hear Lin Jue say that Ning Haijun would exterminate the bandits. So he interrupted: "The good news is said, Lord Yan should talk about the bad news." ”
Yan Zhengsu nodded, put away his smile and said to Lin Jue: "Lin Jue, don't be too excited when you hear this news, this ...... Hey, I'll get it straight. The bad news is about the fact that we promised you the Guishan Island cottage Zhao'an, this matter ......"
Lin Jue was taken aback, frowned, and said, "What? Could this have gone wrong? Didn't the prince and the prefect promise to get this done? ”
Yan Zhengsu smiled awkwardly and said: "The official did promise you and the high girl, and it was planned to be naturalized on the spot, and the past was not to blame, and all of them were transferred to the people." However...... However...... Someone in the DPRK said that these bandits on Guishan Island had done a lot of bad things before, and they couldn't be so cheap. The Chuzhou army entered Guishan Island three days ago, but they took dozens of bandit leaders and ...... Kill on the spot. This incident caused a backlash from the islanders, and thousands of bandits on the island resisted, but they were the opponents of the Chuzhou army, with more than 1,000 casualties ......"
"What?" Lin Jue was shocked and shouted in horror.
Lin Jue...... Don't get excited, don't get excited. We didn't know about it, and it was the Privy Council who kept it a secret from us. The prince and I were also shocked to learn of this, and we have already asked for clarification of the matter...... You believe us, we had absolutely no idea that things would turn out like this. ”
Lin Jue stood up with a cold face and said in a deep voice, "How is Miss Gao?" Was she beheaded too? ”
"Miss Gao...... We haven't gotten the exact news yet, we're looking for it. We'll let you know as soon as we have news. Lin Jue, you ......," explained in a solemn and solemn voice.
Lin Jue waved his hand to interrupt Yan Zhengsu's words, and said in a deep voice: "Send off!" ”
"Lin Jue, you are rude, we are kind enough to tell you that this matter is not that we are not doing our best, but that others ......are obstructing," Guo Kun shouted.
"Sending off!" Lin Jue shouted coldly.
Although he is a grass people, the prefect and the prince are no match for the cold air on his body at this time, and they are ashamed, and they are indeed speechless.
"Lin Jue, don't worry, the official will give you an explanation for this matter, and the official apologizes to you." Yan Zhengsu said in a low voice.
"Sending off!" Lin Jue shouted loudly for the third time.
Guo Kun was dumbfounded and wanted to scold, but Guo Bing waved his hand to stop him. Guo Bing got up and sighed: "That's it, Lin Jue, calm down, let's go first." This matter is just as Lord Yan said, this king will give you an explanation. You are in an angry mood at the moment, which is understandable, and this king does not blame you. Lord Yan, let's go first. ”
Yan Zhengsu sighed and nodded in agreement.
Guo Bing and Yan Zhengsu sighed and went out, Lin Jue's eyes were moist and he slowly sat on the chair, holding his forehead with his hands, and closing his eyes unspeakably. A gentle little hand reached over and gently stroked Lin Jue's shoulder. The gentle voice of the little county lord sounded in his ears.
"Lin Jue, don't be sad. Gao Muqing's martial arts are strong, he will be fine, you are recovering from a serious illness, you must take care of your body. I can't look at you all the time, but I ...... Thinking of you all the time, you must not ......"
"Girl!" The little prince's cry sounded outside the door, and the little county lord hurriedly answered, leaned down and quickly kissed Lin Jue on the cheek, and left quickly.
