"Lin Jue, I think you should understand what we mean. You don't have to be embarrassed, you came to persuade me, I am very grateful. The only wrong thing I've done in my life is to do that to you, and in hindsight, I regret it. I wanted to talk to you and take you back to the wall, but I gave up again. I've embarrassed you many times since then, actually...... There is also some deep meaning. Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue and said slowly.

Lin Jue said softly: "Does Mr. think ...... Changing the law may not have a good result, so ...... Deliberately alienate me, suppress me, and keep me away from you. Lest...... Imbue students. ”

"Hahaha." Yan Zhengsu laughed out loud and said loudly: "Brother Dunru, you are too smart, too smart. I thought I was the only one who knew your mind, but he already knew. Brother Dunru, I really envy you for having such a student. ”

Fang Huanqiu was stunned: "Really? Daddy, do you really think so? Did you really want to protect your brother by expelling him from the wall? ”

Fang Dunru smiled bitterly: "Lin Jue, you are just too smart. People who are too smart in this world often do not have good results, and people say that it is rare to be confused, so you still have to pretend to be confused. Ay! Old man, let's be honest with you, since I came to the capital with Lord Yan, after we went all out to implement the law change, we encountered unprecedented attacks. Lord Yan and I can actually see that the emperor is not strong-willed, and this change of law will die down at some point. Lin Jue, do you think that Lord Yan and I are in a hurry for success and profit? It is true that we are really in a hurry, and we really want to complete the change quickly, at least we must quickly build out the framework, and then slowly fill in and make up for the mistakes. Our reason is that the Liao people threatened us and did not give us enough time. But in fact, that's all a pretext. In fact, what we are most worried about is not that the Liao people will not give us time, but that we are most worried about ...... The emperor doesn't give us time. ”

"If the emperor can't insist on changing the law, then the change of the law will fail sooner or later. That's why we're in a hurry to get everything done as soon as possible. We don't want to give up halfway. But Master Yan and I are not sure, and we know that there will be a lot of problems if we do this, but we can't take care of it. Da Zhou can't change the law, otherwise he will embark on the road of no return, if there is any mistake because of this, Lord Yan and I will also accept our fate. But we can't harm you, you are the hope of the Great Zhou, and we can't implicate you. If you say this, you will not leave. So we conveniently used the fact that you are dissatisfied with the new laws and regulations to create a lot of contradictions and make you and me separate. Do you think the old man is not heartbroken? But the old man can't help but do it. Fang Dunru's old voice echoed in his ears, and Lin Jue was stupid.

The shift in his speculation about Fang Dunru actually happened only recently. He reviewed all the past interactions between himself and Fang Dunru, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right. Fang Dunru is not a mediocre person, maybe he doesn't understand people, but he is by no means the kind of person who has no stomach. He suppressed himself several times, did extremely excessively, hurt people very much, and even tried to destroy himself. Even if he disagrees with him on changing the law, he will not be like this. Lin Jue believes that Fang Dunru actually has subjective intentions. This kind of deliberateness is either hatred of oneself to the core, or it has ulterior motives.

How could Fang Dunru hate himself to the core? If this is really the case, could it be that the master and apprentice in Songshan Academy get along, talk and laugh freely, and the relationship between father and son is all an illusion? After Fang Dunru became an official, he would become so strange? No matter what, he also saved Fang Huanqiu's life, and he didn't need to treat himself like this at all. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense. But he did it anyway, and he did it so ruthlessly, even despite everyone's opposition. Then there may be another reason for this.

That day, after Lin Jue met Fang Dunru before the early morning court, Lin Jue had been thinking about it. With Fang Dunru's style, it is impossible for him to default to keeping Fang Huanqiu by his side without any expression, this is not his style. Not only did he not get angry, but on the contrary, he was relieved and wanted to take good care of Fang Huanqiu himself. At that time, Lin Jue was thinking in his heart, things were strange and bizarre.

It wasn't until the accident happened that Lin Jue suddenly thought of such a possibility when he was thinking about the way to crack it. If Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru had realized that the change was a moth to a fire, they would most likely have used extreme methods to avoid the people around them from being implicated, and thus adopted such an unreasonable behavior.

When chatting with Du Weijian at this point, Du Weijian also showed confusion. Du Weijian said that when he decided to resign and return to his hometown, the two adults were extremely resolute and did not even make too much retention. At that time, he was very puzzled. After Du Wei gradually returned to his hometown, his teacher, Fang Yuanzhi, a famous Confucian on Jingdong East Road, once said something profound to him, he said, to Du Wei gradually not to hate Yan Fang and the others, this matter is not a bad thing, but a good thing. Fang Yuanzhi and Yan Zhengsu are good friends, and they used to be officials in the same county, and they have a very close relationship. After Fang Yuanzhi resigned and returned to his hometown to teach, there were still intensive correspondence between them. It was only after Du Weijian entered the Ordinance Department that he learned that there was such a relationship between Yan Zhengsu and his teacher. This is also the reason why Du Wei is gradually confused. Even if it is for the sake of his teacher's face, Yan Zhengsu should make some gestures when he resigns. But he didn't.

Lin Jue believes that it is likely that this is also a move by Yan Zhengsu to protect Du Weiji. So this impersonal behavior was committed.

Today, Lin Jue just made a tentative guess, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Lin Jue, the old man has to tell you a few things, so that the misunderstanding of Brother Dunru in your heart will not be eliminated. The first thing is about you being investigated for your second year, you may think that we are unsympathetic and take advantage of your Lin family. After so long, the old man also told you the truth. When we first inspected the accounts of the Third Division, your second uncle committed more than just one of the accusations we alleged. Lin Bonian took advantage of his position to acquiesce in the smuggling of salt and iron and other prohibited items of the imperial court and foreign countries, and sought a large amount of undue benefits. Accepting bribes is secondary, and salt and iron are strictly forbidden to circulate privately, let alone smuggle them to foreign countries. Your Lin family will be implicated. At that time, my claim was brought to justice, but Brother Dun Ru begged me to open up for your sake. Later, you offered to pay a fine to protect Lin Bonian, and we agreed. You may think that is the solution you have come up with, but you don't know that it is the lightest punishment for the crime alone. Afterwards, Brother Dunru often sighed and said that he didn't expect that he would also become a favoritist, which became a stain in his life that could not be washed away. Isn't he afraid that your second uncle's great sin will come out and ruin your future? Isn't it out of the maintenance of your Lin family? ”

Lin Jue was stunned, he never expected that there would be such a secret in that case. The mustard born with Fang Dunru at the beginning started from the case of the second uncle. Since that incident, the Lin family has drenched Fang Dunru's scolding with blood, blaming him for not being merciful and taking the Lin family under knife. The Lin family had to mortgage their entire family property and faced the danger of overturning. As everyone knows, the crime committed by Lin Bonian is actually not something that can be solved by a fine. The smuggling of salt, iron and other goods and foreign transactions prohibited by the imperial court was to be decided according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Lin family was also implicated. Fang Dunru was such an upright person, but he showed favoritism for himself, at that time he should have been full of entanglements and contradictions in his heart, which was definitely a difficult thing for him.

"Sir...... You ......" Lin Jue was speechless.

"Brother Zhengsu, don't mention it, this is not a glorious thing, I often regret this matter. It's also a shame that you have concealed this matter with me. Don't mention it, don't mention it. Fang Dunru said in a deep voice.

Yan Zhengsu smiled and said: "If a person is not a sage, how can he be without fault? No one is perfect, you and I are just ordinary people. Since you are an ordinary person, how about some selfishness? I don't feel guilty about it. ”

Fang Dunru smiled bitterly: "I can only think like this." ”

Yan Zhengsu looked at Lin Jue through the fence and said, "In addition to this matter, there are other things. After you won the top prize in high school, you were calculated by Wu Chunlai and them to enter the Chongzheng Palace's storytelling office as an official, you must be annoyed that Brother Dunru is not contributing to your future at all. But you don't know that Brother Dunru deliberately didn't let you participate in the change of the law, and it was also to protect you. Although there is no future in that public house, there is no trouble. You are a student of Brother Dunru, and if you go to any yamen, you will inevitably be attacked and oppressed. If you are transferred to the Ordinance Division, you will face nepotism, and you will be on the cusp. That's why Brother Dun didn't do anything for you. You must wonder why you were later transferred to the Department of Regulations. That's because the Ordinance Department was trying to expand its influence among young talents at that time, so it gathered the top three in the Ordinance Division in order to create a momentum and let the young talents of the world know that our Ordinance Division is a place where aspiring talents gather. It will make more people recognize the change of the law. In this case, you are the champion, and if you don't come to the Ordinance Division, your momentum will be weakened. To put it bluntly, you are the face of the Ordinance Division, and this is just a means of propaganda. But this is only a stopgap measure, and the old man and the brother have never decided to keep you in the Ordinance Division. The propaganda has been effective, the new law has begun to be promoted, and your mission has been accomplished. And we're going to find a way to get you out of this place. ”

Lin Jue was dumbfounded, it turned out that he entered the Regulation Department not because of Fang Dunru's support, but because the Regulation Department had just been established at that time, and the law reform had just begun, so he needed to create momentum. In the new section of the top three gathering regulations, it is the best publicity gimmick to change the law. In other words, he was actually transferred to the Ordinance Department because of his title as the champion, not because of Fang Dunru's student. Otherwise, I will have to stay in the public house of the Chongzheng Palace all the time.
