Great Blue Night Watchman

People get crazy when they get together.

Once a person is crazy, there will be no restraint.

In a moment, 100,000 refugees from four northern towns entered the city...

Refugees gathered in the streets and alleys...

Hundreds of thousands of people rushed to the Confucian Temple...

A riot of this scale should logically be stopped by the city guards in the capital. However, an order came from above and the city guards in various places were not allowed to stop it!

This directive comes from the top!

Everyone understands!

Lin Su! Duan Yunhe's back was dripping with cold sweat: Hundreds of thousands of people attacked the Confucian Temple. This is a scandal that has never happened since the temple was established. Do you... know... know!

The last four words, one word at a time!

It’s like a ground-breaking surprise!

Because this matter is so big, even though Duan Yunhe is eighty years old and has experienced so many things in his life that he could fill several historical records, and he thinks that all the major events in the world are like a breeze, his heart is still pounding.

Because this matter is a major event that subverts the foundation of the temple.

The temple can be transcendent because of the sanctity of culture and the solemnity of culture.

The Confucian Temple stands in the secular world and floats outside the secular world. Monsters, demons, monarchs, and Confucians all respect it, so it maintains the transcendent status of the temple. Once it is attacked by the people, it will definitely be worse than being attacked by a peerless monster or super troll. Bulldozers will damage the foundation of the temple even more.

The temple protects all people, and in turn, hundreds of millions of people are also the foundation of the temple. Only when the people believe in you will they continuously send you literary and moral talents, and only then can the temple be made supreme.

Once the people attack the Confucian Temple.

This means that the Confucian Temple is on the opposite side of the people.

The foundation of the holy way has been dug up!

This is an unprecedented scandal!

Lin Su took a sip of wine and said, The temple's transcendence is due to the sincere belief of the people. Once the people attack the Confucian Temple, it means the collapse of people's hearts! Lin Su understands the truth that 'water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.' But I wonder if the higher-ups in the temple can also understand?

At the end of his words, he raised his eyes and looked at the sky.

Above the sky, the sun fills the sky.

It seemed that there was only sunshine in the sky, but under his thousand-degree pupils, he could clearly see the holy light of literature and art.

He knows that the top leaders of the temple are always there!

They are watching the change of imperial power in Da Cang!

They were also staring at themselves and Duan Yunhe!

He had his first confrontation with Duan Yunhe today. In fact, his opponent was never Duan Yunhe, but the senior officials of the temple behind Duan Yunhe.

Although he is now a regular member of the temple, he has never entered the temple. He knows nothing about the temple. In this case, the normal operation should be to hide one's strength and bide one's time, just like he did in the game with Ji Shang before. Grow slowly, find out the bottom slowly, accumulate strength slowly, break through bit by bit, gain chips bit by bit, and finally make a comeback against the wind.

However, some things forced him to be more radical!

Because the top leaders of the temple have expressed hostility to him!

In what ways can it be seen?

Watchman Chang Shiba was transferred!

Duan Yunhe took over the job of Da Cang Capital to guard the city!

As soon as Duan Yunhe became a watchman, he stood on his opposite side and helped Ji Shang clear his guilt!

Duan Yunhe still bears the deep imprint of painting the Holy Family - once he enters the Holy Temple, he is no longer a member of the Holy Family, and the things he does have nothing to do with the Holy Family. This sentence is high-sounding, but in Lin Su's view, it is purely It's fart. His actions may represent the temple, but he is also a human being. How can he be immune to the influence of his hometown? How can it be? He is not a saint! For example, Lin Su himself is the prefect of Nanshan Prefecture. Can you say that Haining's affairs have nothing to do with him? Whoever dares to reach out to the Haining Lin family will be surprised if he doesn't chop off your head!

Treat others as your own!

What Lin Su couldn't do himself, Duan Shiqi, who was full of selfish thoughts, could do it?

Lin Su didn't dare to gamble!

Although the watchman in the Confucian Temple is only one person, his lethality and influence are very great!

Once he has a tendency, his lethality to Da Cang is unparalleled.

He can cultivate literary people who are friendly to Ohsumi, he can exclude Da Cang's real bloody people, he can single-handedly cause Da Cang's literary ecology to change for the worse, and he can let Da Cang step into the downward channel to cope with the situation. Osumi's Southern Expedition!

Such a person is not suitable for Da Cang Wen Tao to work at all.

Especially... this year is the year of scientific examinations, and next year will be the key node for selecting Jinshi and Confucian scholars...

He had one hundred and twenty reasons to replace the watchman in Da Cang Capital.

But if he went the normal way, he wouldn't be able to replace it.

He is a regular member of the temple. He seems to be in a high position, but in fact, his foundation is infinite.

Duan Shiqi was also a regular member of the temple, and he had the same status as him. Coupled with the senior officials of the temple behind him, Lin Su was completely incomparable.

If Lin Su puts himself and Duan Qiyi at opposite ends of the scale and lets the temple's senior officials make the choice, then he is purely looking for abuse. If he thinks about it with his toes, he can also know what the temple's senior officials will choose.

But, he made a switch!

He did not put himself and Duan Qiqi on the two ends of the scale, but put the temple's prestige and Duan Qiqi on the two ends of the scale!

Didn’t the senior leaders of the temple see clearly today from their high position?

Well, I will lay out my cards so that you can see more clearly!

I provoked the people to attack the Confucian Temple!

I set off this unprecedented and unprecedented scandal!

I dare to put myself against the entire temple. Do you, the temple, dare to put yourself against the people?

You dare?

you dare!

I, Lin Su, have become an outlier in the literary world from now on. It doesn’t matter, I can still find a way if I don’t follow the literary path!

If you dare not...

Then you have only one way to go, replace Duan Shiqi and make the people angry!

This is a gamble!

This is also a game between brave men. The name of the game is: Whoever blinks first loses!

Lin Su stared at the sky.

Duan Shiqi stared at him, his chest rising and falling rapidly...

There was a soft sound in the sky...

The green light is in full bloom, the green lotus is in full bloom, the holy light is permeated, and thousands of miles are shining...

An old holy voice sounded: Duan Yunhe, the watchman of Da Cang Confucian Temple, secretly interfered in the change of imperial power. He is no longer suitable for the position of watchman of Da Cang Confucian Temple. He is dismissed from his position and returns to the temple immediately to wait for orders!

The holy voice came...

Above the golden palace, the imperial seal swayed.

Ji Guang sat down on the dragon chair, his whole body went limp. Ever since this Da Cang News appeared on the literary wall, he seemed to have stopped breathing completely.

Now, I can finally breathe.

He knew what all this meant. It meant that Lin Su's first game with the Holy Temple had come to an end, and he had won!

He can have this understanding, and Zhang Juzheng and Chen Geng have this understanding even more.

The two of them held hands and looked at each other without knowing when. Thousands of words passed through their eyes, and their hands were covered in cold sweat.

Hundreds of thousands of people who were only one street away from the Confucian Temple stopped at the same time, and burst into earth-shattering cheers at the same time...

The eternal scandal of people besieging the Confucian Temple ended.

Because the temple stopped it in time.

In the Confucian Temple, Duan Yunhe slowly raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the sky. On his face, the wind and clouds were changing. The boundless wind and clouds seemed like huge waves rolling over the Spring River. After the huge waves rolled over, the Spring River returned to calm.

His eyes slowly lowered, staring at Lin Su.

Lin Su gently raised the wine bottle in his hand: Elder Duan, have a good trip!

Lin Changxing, do you think you won? Duan Yunhe said coldly.

Based on today's battle alone, I obviously won! Lin Su stood up slowly: But Lin also heard the underlying meaning of Elder Duan's words. There are many times when you and I are playing games, right? ?”

obviously!

Then I hope the elder will perform well next time! Lin Su flipped his hand and the wine bottle disappeared from his palm, soared into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

…

Bailu Academy, mid-level!

On the side of the cliff, inexplicable people looked at each other...

His first face-to-face confrontation with the temple, he rose up without warning, and then fell with such a sudden lightning? He sighed inexplicably.

Mo Wen looked at a branch in front of him, as if he had seen something strange, and rarely answered.

His gaze shifted inexplicably: What are you looking at? Are you so entranced?

Mo Wen: The butterfly sheds its clothes!

Butterfly sheds its clothes?

Her eyes fell inexplicably in front of her. This was a dead branch. On the dead branch, there was a butterfly, tightly attached to the dead branch. There was a crack in its body...

Mo Wendao: Butterfly is really a strange creature. It is born at the end of the world and rises from the wind. Every time it transforms, it becomes more beautiful.

As soon as the words fell, the crack in the butterfly's back was completely opened, the butterfly's head came out, and the wings squeezed out little by little. With a slight tremble, the butterfly wings separated, changing colors in the sunlight.

…

The day of the coronation ceremony has finally come to an end.

The change of imperial power in Da Cang has taken a new step.

On this day, it can be said that there was no storm or waves, because no one was in trouble during the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

However, it can also be said that it was a stormy sea, because on this day, the imperial power and the holy power had a duel, and in the end, the imperial power won!

Why do you say that?

The watchman at the Confucian Temple was dismissed!

There are tens of thousands of people working as watchmen in Confucian temples all over the world (including nine countries and 13 states, as well as all states and prefectures). Who has seen with his own eyes a watchman in a Confucian temple being dismissed?

I'm afraid there's never been one since ancient times!

The temple is about face and dignity. Even if the watchman of the Confucian Temple makes a mistake, they will not make his crime public to the world. They will only change it quietly. Who would change it in front of ordinary people?

But today, the people of Da Cang Capital opened their eyes. Duan Yunhe, the watchman of the Confucian Temple, was publicly dismissed in front of the whole city!

The long aftermath of this revolution is naturally not something ordinary people can understand.

Even literary geniuses like Zhang Haoran and Huo Qi had a lot of questions that they wanted to discuss with Lin. However, Lin was like a dragon that has seen its beginning but not its end, quietly returning from the north and leaving the Confucian Temple with a high profile. , whereabouts unknown.

So, where did he go?

According to Lin Su's idea, he might really be willing to drink and flirt with Zhang Haoran and the others, but someone stopped him.

Ordinary people don't have this ability, and the people who come are extraordinary.

Ordinary people can't take him away even if they intercept him. Those who come just need to say a word and he must go.

Because this person is quite subversive, she is the heart of the pavilion.

Who is Ge Xin?

King Chen’s concubine!

She was the only concubine King Chen had - so far of course.

Now that King Chen has ascended the throne and become emperor, what will be the status of Ge Xin? If King Chen didn't pay much attention to the tradition that a queen must come from a famous family, she could be the queen!

A queen, or a first-class concubine enjoying the treatment of a queen, dressed in spiritual robes, intercepted Lin outside the palace and told him: Your Majesty wants to see you!

What do you think Lin Su can do?

Just go with her.

The two entered the palace and hid it from everyone outside.

In the Zijin Pavilion, His Majesty Ji Guang was dressed in casual clothes. When he saw Lin Su, he opened his arms. Before Lin Su could make up his mind whether to follow the palace etiquette to see His Majesty, he gave Lin Su a big hug and ended Lin Su's discussion of etiquette. tangled.

Brother, thank you for your hard work! Five words, the same name as before.

Your Majesty, you are rude! Lin Su said.

I'm meeting you in plain clothes today just to avoid any trouble between our brothers...

After some pleasantries, Lin Su and His Majesty sat face to face, and Ge Xin served them tea as usual. Everything was just like the Meiling of the past...

The military situation in the north, the Marquis of Zhenbei has sent a detailed battle report. I only have one sentence, a good fight! The Jin Dynasty has returned, and the King of Jin has also sent me detailed regulations. I also have only one sentence, everything is autonomous! His Majesty said: When I see you today, regardless of the Northern Territory, there are only two more important things...

you say!

His Majesty said: The first thing is, you broke up with the temple today. How much danger does it pose to you?

Regardless of the military situation in the north or the people's situation in the north, it was based on his trust in Lin Su.

I only ask about temple matters out of concern for my brothers.

Lin Su smiled: Actually, we have also discussed before that where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be factions. Today's showdown between me and Duan Yunhe does not mean the war between me and the temple. Duan Yunhe , cannot represent the temple, and the painting palace behind him cannot represent the temple either!

Logically speaking, this sentence can make His Majesty feel at ease.

However, as your Majesty, your thoughts and concerns are different from those of ordinary people. Your Majesty said: You reassure me with these words. It is indeed very convincing, but you have ignored what you did today, which is a heavy setback for the temple. , the senior officials in the temple will definitely not be happy, I am afraid that after today, the perception of you in the temple will be unprecedentedly bad.

The temple is a big river and lake.

People in the temple also have factions.

There are definitely a large number of people in the temple who have a good impression of Lin Su, but an even larger number of people have a bad opinion of him.

This was before.

What about today?

Today, Lin Su brought the temple's prestige to the forefront and asked the temple's senior officials to make multiple-choice questions without any choice. This was forcing the palace!

This kind of behavior is very bad, and the more powerful someone is, the more intolerable it is.

Therefore, many undecided people in the temple will change their attitude toward Lin Su from being good to bad, from being neutral to being malicious... because of Lin Su's extraordinary move.

This is the vision of an emperor.

Comparing people's hearts to his own, he currently occupies the throne of emperor and is the supreme in the world. He doesn't like others to force him into the palace!

Lin Sudao: What you said is reasonable, but some things have to be done! Duan Yunhe must not become the watchman of Da Cang Confucian Temple. In order to pull him down, even if there are future troubles, he will not care!

Thousands of words flowed through His Majesty's heart, but he was speechless for a moment...

He understood all of Lin Su's concerns. If the spanking in the Confucian Temple was crooked, the damage to a country would be devastating.

He understands this!

He just feels a little uncomfortable!

He once thought that his brother had been struggling all these years, facing the wind and rain in all directions. If he, Ji Guang, really succeeded in taking the position, he would definitely hold up a blue sky above his brother's head.

However, on the first day he ascended the throne, he discovered that his existence was actually a shackles to his brothers.

Because Da Cang regards Ji Guang as his king, Lin Su must consider Da Cang's national destiny.

He took the risk of placing himself on the opposite side of the temple today because he wanted to take care of the common people!

Wouldn't this be counterproductive?

He didn't want to tell Lin Su a thousand words, so he could only change the topic: Today Duan Yunhe went to the Confucian Temple, can it really bring Chang Shiba back to the world?

Chang Shiba, from their camp, if Chang Shiba returns, it will represent a compromise for the Temple, and the relationship between Da Cang and the Temple will be truly restored.

Lin Su slowly shook his head: No!

Ji Guang's heart skipped a beat: You said they don't want to repair their relationship with Da Cang?

Of course they want to! However, they still can't wipe away this face. If I force Duan Yunhe away, I can replace Chang Shiba, and the temple will be like a slap in the face. No one can bear this slap.

It's easy to say.

The truth is also very subtle.

The temple hopes to maintain a good relationship with the imperial power, but there is also a prerequisite, that is, the temple must maintain its independence and majesty.

Lin Su pointed the finger directly at Duan Yunhe. Based on the overall situation, the temple had to replace him. This replacement has already caused a lot of problems in the temple.

Do you still expect him to go one step further...send the Chang Shiba you hope to appear?

If you do that, wouldn’t you really be at your mercy? Let you do whatever you want?

The dignity of the temple would not allow it.

Therefore, the person who came definitely cannot be Chang Shiba!

So, who will come?

The two discussed it for a few words, and the only thing that was certain was that the person who came should be a relatively neutral person.

If another person from the Holy Family of the Painting Saint, the Holy Family of the Poet Saint, or someone with an obvious dislike for Da Cang is sent out, no one can be sure whether Lin Su will come to force the palace again. If he forces the Palace again, the Temple will really Passive.

Regarding the matter of the temple, the two of them are actually not familiar with each other. No matter how much they talk about it, they are just looking at the smoke...

His Majesty personally held the cup and poured Lin Su a cup of tea: Let's not talk about this anymore! Let's talk about another thing, about your official position...

Lin Su smiled...

Before he could speak, Ji Guang raised his hand to interrupt: Don't speak in a hurry, listen to me first, don't interrupt in the middle...

Okay, tell me!

Ji Guangdao: You once said that on the day I ascended the throne, it was the time when you resigned and went into seclusion. But I have to tell you that it was you who forcibly restored my throne to me. I am currently in a state of distress because of your gift. At this time, you will I was left in the middle of the road, wandering around leisurely, which is not the way of brothers!

Lin Su's eyes widened, but he also kept his promise not to say anything but to listen to His Majesty's words.

His Majesty said: I have prepared two positions for you. You can choose yourself! The first position is prime minister! The second position is king! The former can give full play to your political talents, while the latter is barely worthy of the title. Your great achievements.

Lin Su's eyes opened even wider: Are you done?

Ge Xin smiled softly: Actually, Your Majesty has a third option. If you don't choose a position, you can also choose a title that is not an official position. For example... Prince Consort, you must choose one of these three options. Otherwise, you will never leave the Zijin Pavilion... That’s it!”

Lin Su looked at this and that: Can I have both?

ah? Your Majesty and your Majesty were stunned.

Lin Su smiled: Forget it, no kidding, I'm too busy with the position of prime minister, so I won't choose it. Being an idle prince seems to be the best choice for a person like me who has no ambitions and is sensual. I choose the second one. Two!”

The two of them looked at each other, feeling like they were missing something.

They thought they knew the person in front of them very well. They believed him when he said he would retire after success, but today his style changed...

Lin Su looked at them: What? Do you really think I am hypocritical? In fact, I am a bit hypocritical by nature, but being crowned a king does not seem to affect my hypocrisy... By the way , the second option and the third option... ahem, there is no conflict, right?

Holy shit!

Do you want a third option? Marrying a princess as a prince?

I'm impressed with you!

I withdraw!

Ge Xin hides his face and retreats.

His Majesty glared at him fiercely: Let me make one thing clear first. If my sister gets married, will she be considered a legitimate wife? If so, I will issue an order now. If not, you first find a reasonable one with the people in the world. Reason: Why can’t the biological sister of a king become a wife after getting married...

Ahem, just kidding, just kidding, let's talk about it, let's talk about it...

…

The next day!

The second day after the new emperor ascended the throne!

Ji Guang dressed up and went to the palace!

His personal eunuch, Shanjun, also changed into new clothes. Carrying a large plate covered with yellow silk, the two of them passed through the kneeling ministers, went up to the high platform, and entered the dragon chair. The atmosphere was solemn.

The ministers looked at each other, and they all saw in each other's eyes the prediction that something big was about to happen...

Ji Guang slowly said: Xuan Linsu!

Lin Su!

The hearts of the ministers accelerated instantly...

This change of throne is a special case among the Nine Kingdoms and Thirteen States, and it is extremely gentle.

Ji's surname is Jiangshan Ji, which is hardly a real change of dynasty.

The ministers of the DPRK and China are almost in their respective positions, and so far nothing has happened.

Therefore, nine out of ten people in the palace have shouldered Lin Su in this palace, either from the front or from the side...

That day, the person sitting at the end of the golden palace was Ji Shang. Ji Shang and Lin Su wanted to devour, swallow, destroy, and kill. Naturally, the ministers knew how to fight to the death with this troublemaker.

Now, the situation has changed drastically.

There is a change of people at the end of the Golden Palace!

It was the people supported by Lin Su!

The new emperor treats Lin Su like a brother. What will happen to these ministers?

Given Mr. Lin's urinary nature and his unforgiving character when he was in power, why did all these ministers feel the cold rising from the soles of their feet to the back of their heads?

Could it be said that the position issue that they have been struggling with every moment during the twenty days since the new emperor took over the throne will come to an end today?

Lin Su's butcher knife fell, who was it aimed at?

Qiu Zixiu's expression changed.

Zuo Kuanzhou's expression became even more serious.

The expressions of the six ministers changed. Among them, Gao Gelin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, turned his attention to Song Du, the Minister of War. He wanted to find some support from Song Du, because Song Du was Lin Su's biological uncle after all. If Song Du could help, he could help. , his situation would be much better, but he didn't know that Song Du, who seemed to be smiling, was worse than him on the inside...

Song Du himself didn't know what Lin Su would do to him.

The two knew each other because of close relatives, but they also disagreed because of their political opinions. Although the two never had a bad relationship, Lin Su even gave him enough face in the outside world, allowing him to serve as the governor of Quzhou safely, and the Ministry of War The position of Minister was peaceful, but Song Du knew that his close relative was extremely smart and knew everything about what his uncle was doing.

The chances of Lin Su taking him or keeping him are about the same as guessing heads and tails of a coin thrown into the sky, half and half.

There is only one person, Prime Minister Lu Tiancong!

At least there was nothing strange about his face.

Maybe it's because he is so scheming that he has already passed the stage where joy and sorrow are reflected in his color.

Maybe he is well versed in the principles of officialdom. He believes that Lin Su will not attack them today. Why? Because the person sitting on the high platform is Ji Guang!

Ji Guang is the emperor, and Da Cang is his kingdom.

For a country to be stable, laws and regulations are necessary.

Lin Su used to be able to ignore laws and subvert them, but now he can't. Why? Because he needs to implant a legal foundation into Ji Guang's rule. If he takes advantage of the emperor's power today and makes too big a move, he will put Ji Guang on the fire.

There are thousands of people in the hall, each with their own thoughts.
