Chapter 1605: Thoughts
It is said that they are drunk, but the generals of the Luoyan Army are no longer the rabble of the past, they have not only learned discipline, but also learned moderation. The expedition is imminent, and all kinds of affairs need to be prepared, and everything must be arranged, which can be described as a thousand things. All the generals know Lin Dashuai's temperament. He can not do what he tells him to do well, but he must only do his best but not do it well, lack of ability, or fail to do it well after trying his best. If you could have done a good job, but you didn't do it because of delay, prevarication, or not doing your best, you can't be forgiven. Drinking and making mistakes, that's one of the most unforgivable reasons.
Therefore, the generals really gobbled up the table of meals prepared by Lin Jue, which was not only to give face to Princess Anguo, who cooked herself, but also to show that the food was delicious. And it's true that the food tastes good. But I didn't drink a few glasses of wine, even if it was not much Zhuyeqing wine in Beijing now, and the gluttonous drooling could only be stopped.
Seeing everyone away, Lin Jue came to the small courtyard of the study alone, standing under the west slanting spring sun and thinking about the current situation.
Things in the court made Lin Jue very troubled, and the relationship between him and Guo Kun had changed. Lin Jue's bottom line is that no matter how there are differences and contradictions, they cannot be solved by secret intrigues or even drastic means such as assassination. Once the other party sacrificed this method, for Lin Jue, there would be no room for reconciliation. When Guo Kun ambushed people that night and was about to attack him, everything was out of control, and Lin Jue had no scruples. Of course, for the sake of the overall situation, Lin Jue didn't want to make trouble at this moment. It would be easy to abolish Guo Kun by himself, but doing so at this moment would cause chaos. The situation that has finally stabilized will get out of control, and there will be chaos in the local area and in the court, which Lin Jue does not want to see.
Lin Jue's starting point is to restore order in the Great Zhou, so that the people can come out of the war and poverty, and solving the suffering of the people of the Great Zhou is Lin Jue's preferred purpose, which is also his practice of Fang Dunru's will and the goal he wants to achieve. Lin Jue is no longer the person who only thinks about himself and his family and friends back then, his mind has already entered another realm. Since we live in this era, we have to do something meaningful. And this meaningful thing is to contribute our heart and wisdom to the country and the people. From ancient times to the present, all those who are admired by others have practiced this goal and have been transmitted by the world. The road to simplicity is like this. No matter what kind of person you are, you will eventually come to the same path.
Therefore, Lin Jue hopes that the war will subside as soon as possible, so that the people can come out of the chaos and live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have to drag Guo Kun to the throne at all. He thought that after going through so much, Guo Kun would understand his good intentions, know that he would not pose a threat to his throne at all, and would fully support himself in doing things and completely trust himself. However, Guo Kun's performance disappointed Lin Jue. He completely deviated from the direction he expected him to go, incompetent and suspicious, and actually began to be suspicious of himself, and wanted to attack him. This really made Lin Jue angry.
In the final analysis, Guo Kun still sees himself as a master, he has not woken up at all, he is nothing but royal status. He refuses to acknowledge this reality, believing that everything he does is what should be done for him. I should honestly put the power in his hands and be his loyal servant. It is up to him to take over the fruits of victory. He took it all for granted. When he found that all this was impossible, that his reputation was much higher than his, and that it was impossible to completely obey him, his psychology was completely unbalanced, and he changed from dependence to suspicion and even hatred. The thirst for power made him lose his mind, and even he dared to think about killing him, which was simply stupid.
Of course, Lin Jue also understands that the deep-seated reason is because of his identity. He was not a person of this era, so the idea of being loyal to the imperial power was extremely weak in Lin Jue's mind, and it was even impossible. It is impossible for him to be as Guo Kun wishes, and it is impossible for him to become the person Guo Kun hopes to become. This disparity between the expectations of the two sides has led to a drift of distance between the two. Moreover, Lu Zhongtian made a very bad example and example, which made Guo Kun even more worried that he would become the next Lu Zhongtian, so he accelerated his distrust and suspicion of himself.
The current situation is that Lin Jue does have the intention of abolishing Guo Kun, but considering the overall situation and the situation in all aspects, this matter must not be acted hastily, so as not to cause chaos in the overall situation. Lin Jue also refused to follow Lu Zhongtian's old path, and wanted to be an emperor. Except that Lin Jue himself didn't have that mind, and doing so would still cause a full-scale civil strife in the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou needed an emperor surnamed Guo as their spiritual support, Lin Jue understood this. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Guo family has not yet completely lost the hearts of the people and lost all reputation and prestige. The Great Zhou Dynasty went from the peak of prosperity all the way down to the current situation, and what the people experienced was like a roller coaster, and they didn't have time to figure out what was going on. The vast majority of the people still miss the prosperity before the Great Zhou Dynasty in their hearts, and they blame foreign enemies and internal thieves, but not the Guo family. In short, Guo's gas is not exhausted, and it is unpopular to replace it. Therefore, even if Guo Kun is abolished, it is still necessary to find a Guo royal family to be the emperor in order to stabilize people's hearts.
And the problem is that the contradictions between Guo Kun are not public, and even in the eyes of outsiders, he and Guo Kun have a close relationship and are people in the same boat. After all, Guo Kun raised the flag with himself and rebelled, and he was the son-in-law of Liang Wangfu and Guo Kun's brother-in-law. Guo Kun at least showed great respect for himself on the surface, made him a prince, let himself monopolize power, and granted himself important military and political positions in the imperial court. In this case, if he suddenly abolished Guo Kun, the world would be in an uproar. People will not believe that Guo Kun is suspicious of him, and even has murderous thoughts about himself, they will only believe that he wants to usurp the throne and rebel, so he will take revenge and attack Guo Kun and replace him with other royal families. In that case, you will become the person you are referring to.
The people are good, but at the same time they are ignorant. They are sometimes hateful. They will only believe the facts they want to believe, and they will only judge you by their own standards. In such an era, Lin Jue had to adopt a more intelligent approach in order to achieve his goal. Let the people of the world intuitively understand that it is Guo Kun who is ungrateful, not himself.
In addition to the matter between him and Guo Kun, the upcoming expedition is another big thing. Even if Tian Guilin's arrival does not reveal the fact that Wanyan Agu is a thief, the battle with the Jurchens will not be too long. Lin Jue actually planned to settle the matter of the Jurchens who occupied the land of the Great Zhou as soon as the situation stabilized. And all this is not much ahead of schedule. It is impossible to attack with complete preparation, and the longer it drags on, the more tricky things become. He would have to face the situation of fighting a large number of Great Zhou people who were coerced by the Jurchens. Although it is said that there are no people on the battlefield, there is only the difference between the enemy and his own people, but after all, it is the coerced people of the Great Zhou, and the sooner they defeat the Jurchens, the sooner they will avoid a large number of the Great Zhou people dying on the battlefield as hostiles. Otherwise, the so-called ambition of thinking about the people will become a joke.
In fact, the arrival of Tian Guilin only made Lin Jue understand one thing, that is, there were officials like Tian Guilin in the Great Zhou Dynasty and people like Bohai County, and all his efforts were more meaningful. Such a country, such people and officials, they must not let a stupid person like Guo Kun take charge of this country, so that the previous human tragedy and social tragedy have a chance to repeat again.
In addition to these things in the court, there are also many troubles in the house. Especially the little county lord, more than ten days have passed since the last time I talked to her, and there has been no more word between myself and Guo Caiwei. It's not because of herself, but because Guo Caiwei has closed herself, hiding from herself, and refusing to meet herself. He was already busy with affairs, and Guo Kun's affairs made Lin Jue a little angry with the little county lord, so he didn't deliberately take the initiative to find him. In the past few days, I have been living in Green Dance, going out early and returning late, and I am busy, but I didn't go to the main courtyard to find the little county lord.
Under the setting sun, Lin Jue stood in the shade of the trees and pondered for a long time. A gust of wind blew, and the leaves above his head rattled in the wind, which made Lin Jue wake up in horror.
The most innocent person in the whole thing is Guo Caiwei. She hadn't actually done anything, and now she was helpless, terrified, and heartbroken. It's not her fault at all, but it's unfair to ask her to bear this situation. Moreover, that's my wife. The wife who loves him very much, has a very close relationship with Lin Jue, and has given Lin Jue great support and help along the way, how can he bear to see her like this. How could I ignore her pain as if I were looking at a stranger.
Lin Jue walked outside, and happened to meet Lu Wu, who came to deliver tea. Midori said, "Where is Childe going?" ”
Lin Jue said: "Where is Cai Wei?" I'll go find her. ”
