Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he felt as if he was struck by an invisible whip in the heart. His expression changed rapidly, and the clouds and clouds were as uncertain as the wind and clouds. His eyes were like a deep pool, reflecting ripples of complex and difficult-to-understand emotions, rippling in circles, including indignation and sorrow, as well as indescribable self-examination and struggle. He chewed this sharp and harsh comment over and over in his mouth, like drinking water with a stone in his mouth. The bitter taste rolled on the tip of his tongue a thousand times, and finally turned into a low murmur, like the cold wind blowing through the open fields on an autumn night, cursing the coldness of the world. He is ruthless and seems to be lamenting the ups and downs of his own circumstances.

Lin Xiaofeng lowered his head slightly, and his deep-set eyes revealed a sense of sadness and helplessness that could not be concealed. He began to shake his head, which was full of wisdom but suffered many vicissitudes of life. The movements were slow and heavy, and every swing seemed to announce to the world the pain and struggle deep in his heart. Then the long and painful sigh sounded, like autumn leaves falling from the branches, drawing a lonely arc in the air, and the sound when they finally landed was so light that it was almost inaudible, but it carried endless despair. and helplessness, as if the desolation of the entire autumn was condensed in this sigh.

"Alas -" he sighed in a low voice, his voice was hoarse but powerful, "Everyone in the world says that a useless scholar is a scholar. Once these words are spoken, it is really a matter of blood flow and sighs of regret!" This word! One sentence carries an accusation against reality and also contains a powerless resistance to fate. It is more like an elegy, singing about the loneliness and perseverance of intellectuals in the face of secular prejudice.

When these heartfelt words suddenly poured out, it was like a crack suddenly opened in the sky that had been silent for a long time. The sound was deafening, and all the living beings present were dumbfounded. After looking at each other, it was as if a long-premeditated conspiracy had succeeded, and burst out There were bursts of proud and bitter titters and jeers. They seemed to transform into a group of hungry crows, circling and gathering in an instant, aiming at the lonely figure of Lin Xiaofeng. In a group attack, they rushed to throw out swords of language, and the words were full of words. Being mean and sarcastic, mocking the poverty and weakness in his words, secretly portraying him as a nerd who can only talk theory and stumble around in the real world.

Faced with this overwhelming provocation and insult, Lin Xiaofeng did not indulge in endless verbal battles. Instead, he straightened his spine, and a determined light shone in his eyes. He chose not to suppress the long-simmering anger in his heart, and released himself like a river breaking through its dam. At this moment, there was a mist of misery between his eyebrows, and his frowning eyebrows were like two cliffs, with unyielding determination flowing between them; deep in his eyes, there was raging anger, like the flames of purgatory, hot and Profound. A force that was ready to go rolled in his throat, like a dull roar before a flash flood was about to erupt. Finally, the power exploded like thunder and burst out from his mouth. Every word was as bright as pearls, sharp and sharp, without any reservation.

His words were sharp and direct, like a sharp sword unsheathed. The cold light flashed, accurately and ruthlessly piercing the hypocritical masks on the faces of those sanctimonious people. Every word penetrated the back of the paper and pointed directly at the people's hearts, making people helpless. avoid. At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng was no longer the scholar who was ridiculed by everyone. Instead, with his wisdom and courage, he transformed himself into a walking essay, revealing the ugliness and falsehood of the world in the most authentic language.

However, this sudden move was like a sharp blade piercing the normally gentle and jade-like mood of the bachelors, causing their originally gentle faces to become distorted by uncontrollable indignation. Their complexions turned from elegant white to livid, as if shrouded in haze, and their eyes were instantly filled with furious emotions. For a moment, they all launched a fierce accusation against Lin Xiaofeng in unison. His behavior became vulgar in their eyes, and the frankness and sharpness revealed in his words touched the nobility and aloofness in their hearts that scholars are proud of. The bottom line of character. They compared Lin Xiaofeng's behavior to the cunning tricks of a villain in the market, and sadly believed that he had deviated from the gentleman's way promoted by Confucianism and his behavior was extremely bad.

In the eyes of this group of bachelors, Lin Xiaofeng's image was like a vivid picture. He suddenly fell from the role of a highly respected scholar before, and became an object of contempt and contempt by everyone. At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng, a young man with lofty ambitions and a proud heart, was overwhelmed by the noisy and chaotic waves around him, but his heart was churning like boiling water. He did not flinch. Instead, he stood up with steady and powerful steps, like a majestic general boarding a chariot, standing on top of it, independent and tenacious, like a solitary peak looking down on the mountains.

His gaze slowly fell from the height, and his eyes as deep as the night sky swept across the crowd one by one. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all hypocrisy and noise, looking for the source of the waves that stirred up thousands of waves. Without being hasty or impatient, he untied the belt around his waist calmly. This series of actions contained an aura of otherworldly indifference and majesty. Immediately afterwards, he asked the crowd around him in a calm but intimidating tone: "Everyone, can you tell me, who is it that is chattering there and disturbing people's ears and eyes? I would like to let him taste this cup of hot wine himself. The spicy taste of tea!" As soon as he said this, it was like a huge stone was thrown into the lake, and the air instantly solidified into ice. Everyone around looked at each other, no one dared to raise their eyes to meet him, they all lowered their heads, and even their breathing was carefully suppressed. He was afraid that any movement he made would touch Lin Xiaofeng's thunderous fury and trigger an unpredictable storm.

Wang Jingwen, the eldest brother who always has the overall situation in mind and has a gentle personality, when he witnessed this scene, his drooping eyes and brows furrowed quietly, like a picture of deep contemplation. He moved forward steadily, his steps full of brotherly calmness and care, and words of advice flowed between his lips and teeth: "That's all, dear brother, at this moment, Your Majesty is still looking forward to our arrival. If it is because of this moment, Drive them to death with anger, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the storm of blame that will follow." His words were low and magnetic, like bells in the dusk, striking the hearts of everyone present.

However, Lin Xiaofeng responded with a smile full of ridicule and contempt. That smile was like the rising sun piercing the gloom, fearless and dismissive. His words were resounding: "I have already offended the whole world! Brother Wang, there is no need to do anything. I am so worried. Although I, Lin Xiaofeng, am in awe of many things in the world, I have no fear of those wastes who only know how to drink wine and meat and have an empty belly!" These words were like a sharp sword suddenly unsheathed! , the cold light flashed, penetrating directly into the fragile mental defenses of the bachelors present. They were instantly aroused with anger, and they all raised their heads, with unwillingness and challenge burning in their eyes, but they caught Lin Xiaofeng's hand still pressed on his waist. When he put his sword on it, his heart tightened.

That hand was steady and powerful, as if ready to release thunderous power at any time. The hint of this power made them lower their heads helplessly again after a brief confrontation, each immersed in the depression and humiliation in their hearts, like a pool. The ripples stirred up by the stones in the still water, although calm on the surface, the waves in the heart cannot calm down for a long time.

When the hustle and bustle of the world receded like a tide and returned to silence, Lin Xiaofeng leisurely put on his belt again. Every movement was imbued with a kind of otherworldly calmness and indifference, as if the sudden changes just now were in his mind. There was just a fleeting glimpse in his eyes. His fingers gently stroked the fabric belt, and that delicate movement was full of deep understanding and insight into life.

Then, he straightened his back, like a pine tree standing proudly in the frost, turned around and walked into the waiting carriage. The moment the car door is closed, it is like a door to another world, completely blocking out the noise and chaos from the outside world, leaving only the unique silence inside the car. Although the crowd outside the car had various emotions in their hearts, they remained strangely silent. They deeply understood Lin Xiaofeng's unique style of acting, which was a kind of freedom and freedom that allowed the world to comment and was fearless. Faced with such a personality, There is no other better way to respond than to respond with silent acceptance.

Not long after, Lin Xiaofeng and Wang Jingwen stepped into the solemn and solemn public house again. There were only a few people in the public room at this moment, but Emperor Jingjiang unexpectedly reserved a place for every minister present. The important ministers in the court were already seated according to their respective positions. This secretive and wise emperor has been sitting here for a long time, waiting for all the upcoming changes. When Lin Xiaofeng's figure just appeared at the door, the corners of Emperor Jingjiang's eyes wrinkled slightly, and a hint of sullenness quietly appeared on his face. He asked with a hint of majesty but mixed with concern: "Lin Qing's family, why are you so late?" Is there any special reason for arriving at this moment?”

Lin Xiaofeng, the name seemed to carry an aura of calmness the moment it echoed in the palace. He moved when he heard the sound, and his steady steps were like drums beating on the bluestone. He was neither fast nor slow, and every step stepped on the thin line intertwined with power and dignity. Faced with the emperor's sudden questioning, Lin Xiaofeng did not show the slightest panic. His eyes were as calm as autumn water, and his words came out leisurely: "Your Majesty, I know that the officials have misunderstood me, so I chose to talk to them. An in-depth exchange and clarification of doubts, in order to eliminate differences and achieve harmony.”

When Emperor Jingjiang heard this, he snorted softly. Although the sound was subtle, it was like thunder exploding in the palace, showing his majesty. His words revealed the solemnity of the emperor, "As the pillar of the imperial court, shouldering the important responsibilities of the country, Lin Qing should uphold a stable, dignified and steady attitude!" As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jingjiang raised his hand slightly to indicate, Lin Xiaofeng He immediately understood its meaning and smiled awkwardly but politely. Although there was a humble smile on his face, deep down he understood that the emperor's thoughts were like a mirror, and he could see everything.

He moved cautiously towards the throne that symbolized the emperor's mighty grace. Every step he took seemed to be trampling on a trace of history. When his body finally landed on the soft cushion, his movements were light and dignified. At this time, Emperor Jingjiang's face straightened, his face was solemn, and his words were loud and clear, like the collision of gold and stone, which aroused the resonance of the entire hall: "My dear friends, we are gathering here today. This is not an ordinary gathering. The only things we discussed are related to The rise and fall of the country and the people's livelihood and well-being are the most important. At this moment, in this hall, I have decided to hold an impromptu meeting. If you have any important matters related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, you must report it quickly without delay. "

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng heard Emperor Jingjiang's call, and he immediately stood up from his seat. His tall and straight figure was like a strong bamboo, with a perseverance and bright light flowing between his brows, which seemed to reflect his deep concern for the people's sufferings. Deeply concerned and decisive: "Your Majesty, I have something that affects the hardships of the lives of thousands of people, and I urgently need to report to you." His voice was steady and powerful, and every word was like a ground-breaking shock, directly touching people's hearts.

After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang's eyes flashed with admiration and expectation. He responded in a generous yet majestic tone: "Lin Qing's family, whatever you see or feel, you can speak out. , I am willing to listen.”

Under the majestic and expectant gaze of Emperor Jingjiang, Lin Xiaofeng slowly unfolded his discussion as if opening a deep scroll, with deep concern and compassion for the suffering of the people flowing from his words. He said in a solemn and powerful tone: "Your Majesty, I encountered a scene by the water recently. My colleagues were kneeling down, with expressions of sorrow on their faces. That scene was like an elegiac song, causing ripples in my heart. , made me deeply understand the twists and turns of folk life. However, how can those ministers who are in temples and far away from the fireworks of the world really touch the suffering of people's lives just by seeing it with their naked eyes? For this reason, I venture to put forward a bold idea. We, the important ministers in the court, might as well temporarily put aside the delicacies we usually eat from the mountains and seas, and replace the three meals a day with the sweet potatoes on the tables of ordinary people, so that you can taste them in person and experience the folk food. difficulties and hardships.”

"Although this golden potato looks simple and unpretentious, it has its own unique sweetness in the mouth. However, if you eat it for a long time, your spleen and stomach will inevitably be tired. I am not doing this to embarrass my colleagues, but I hope to use this symbolic experience to make us When managing state affairs, even if you see that the people have enough food and clothing, you will not ignore the many other difficulties and challenges they face." As soon as these words were said, the entire hall fell into a state of astonishment, and all the civil and military officials in the hall turned their surprised and thoughtful eyes. Lin Xiaofeng seemed to discover for the first time that this usually low-key and reserved official had such a mind as broad as the sea, inclusive of all things, and well aware of the people's sufferings. At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a sharp sword, piercing through the sight of the court that was once blinded by the prosperity, awakening everyone's deeper understanding and sympathy for the governance of the country.

Emperor Jingjiang's hands collided powerfully in the air, and the dull and loud applause was like a copper bell ringing at dawn, echoing for a long time in this splendid and solemn hall, and every note was soaked with endless majesty and praise. . His words were resounding, and his words revealed an unfathomable wisdom and determination: "The words of Lin Qing's family are indeed an excellent plan! You care about the people and have compassion for everyone. Let's implement this matter according to your proposal. From today on, all people, whether inside or outside the palace, will have Shengshi potatoes for three meals a day, allowing them to experience firsthand the hardships of ordinary people's lives!" His eyes were like torches, shining with insight into the harshness of the world. With the light of clear observation, and amid the warm praise, Lin Xiaofeng's lips quietly outlined a light yet profound sly smile, like a cunning crescent moon in the dark night, instantly crossing his resolute face, leaving an intriguing arc. Wire.

"My emperor is wise, and I will obey the holy decree." Although Lin Xiaofeng's words were respectful and humble, his heart aroused ripples of thoughtfulness like a wise man. He thought in his heart: This seemingly ordinary potato has a simple and unpretentious appearance, but inside it hides the spicy and heart-burning truth. It is like an extremely sharp mirror that can penetrate people's gorgeous disguises and reveal their hidden secrets. The true face behind the veil of hypocrisy. If those gentlemen who claim to be well-read in poetry and sanctimonious are not torn off their hypocritical masks one by one, wouldn’t it mean that they would continue to be arrogant and independent in the utopia they built? Their dignity and face may soon show their true colors in the face of the hardships and hardships of real life, leaving them in a state of embarrassment and with nowhere to hide!

Lin Xiaofeng sat in a corner of the court, silently laying out his strategic map in his mind like a calculating chess player. In his deep eyes, his thoughts were like the endless flow of the Yangtze River, with turbulent waves, looking for his place in this ever-changing officialdom. At this moment, Emperor Jingjiang's voice sounded in the center of the hall, and the topic suddenly turned to important matters related to the foundation of the country and the life and death of the people. At this moment, Li Qiuyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who was wearing dark court clothes and with a solemn face, stepped forward, raised his scepter to the sky, and said in a very respectful manner: "Your Majesty, at midnight last night, there was an emergency in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The report was sent to Xingchi, detailing the worsening food shortage in the southern regions. I wonder if your Majesty has carefully reviewed it and made a decision?"

As soon as Li Shangshu finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell into silence, as if every particle of dust flowing in the air was frozen in the air by this heavy pressure. The ministers looked at each other in confusion, and a huge stone hung in everyone's heart, which was so depressing that it was almost suffocating. After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang's originally resolute face became more serious and worried. It was a map carved over time, filled with deep concern for the fate of the country and the well-being of the people. His expression gradually turned gloomy as his words became more intense, like a dark cloud hanging over an approaching storm.

"I have studied this memorial in detail." Emperor Jingjiang's voice was deep and powerful, and every word echoed in the hall, like hammering a bronze bell, deafening and enlightening. "Faced with such a severe situation, I urgently need your advice and efforts to work together." To save the people from the fire and water, no matter how good the plan is, you can speak out without any scruples." This sentence is like an order and full of expectations. It is like an invisible key that opens the hearts of the ministers. A treasure trove of wisdom driven by a sense of responsibility.

······················
Li Qiuyan, this minister with a thin but angular face, has a light of perseverance and worry in his eyes, like an unsheathed sword, pointing directly at the reality of people's hardship. His tall and straight figure was like a bamboo branch emerging from the ground, and every inch of his skin was taut with an unyielding force. At this moment, he took a deep breath and began to play in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have risked my life to speak out, please ask the Holy One to find out clearly. Now the most urgent task is to immediately order the opening of warehouses to release grain and relieve the victims in the most orderly and fair way. Otherwise, , once the news of people's suffering spreads like wildfire across the vast land of the south, it may trigger a far-reaching and difficult-to-quell popular unrest; as long as we can grit our teeth and persist until the autumn harvest this year, Only when new grains are put into storage can we hope to alleviate the current severe situation." His voice was like hammering a copper bell, and every word echoed in the hall, and his words full of worry were like the sound of a bell, shocking the hearts of the people. When Emperor Jingjiang heard this, his eyes instantly moved from Li Qiuyan to the rolling Yangtze River outside the palace. The spring water of the river seemed to carry many worries of the country and the country. His majestic face looked even deeper at this moment, and his eyes that could see the changes in the world were like an abyss, staring into the distance with his brows furrowed, as if embodying the suffering of the world. A low and powerful voice echoed in the empty hall: "However, the Yangtze River Basin is currently suffering from floods. Most of our national treasury granaries have been mercilessly swallowed by the torrential floods. I can't sleep at night, and I am extremely anxious. I don't know that these are just Can the stored food last until the golden autumn harvest and meet the urgent needs of our people? "

Lu Yinsheng, a veteran minister with a thin body but a bright spirit. After hearing the urgent report from Li Qiuyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, he seemed to be instantly activated by an invisible force. He stood up suddenly, and his court clothes, which had been washed away with all their splendor, gleamed in the morning light. There is an air of calmness after years of precipitation. Every word and sentence in his words carries a deep concern for the fate of the country and an unshirkable responsibility: "Your Majesty, according to the situation known to me, our country's current food reserves are actually on thin ice. Although the autumn harvest is in sight, Natural disasters have occurred frequently this year, and fields have been severely damaged. It is expected that grain production will decline significantly. Therefore, the court's urgent move is to take emergency measures and order local governments to decisively intervene in the market to lower market grain prices to prevent people from being affected by soaring grain prices. We are in a difficult situation of being unable to purchase grain and living in poverty. In addition, I must have a lot of surplus grain hidden in the homes of wealthy gentry families in various places. I beg your Majesty’s permission to requisition this batch of grain for emergency use to relieve urgent needs.”

At the same time, in a corner of the hall, Lin Xiaofeng, an official who was usually taciturn but always cared about the sufferings of the people, was sitting there quietly at the moment, his face as pale as frost and snow in winter, and his eyes filled with deep worry. . He listened silently to the in-depth analysis of the two colleagues, his mood fluctuated and he had mixed emotions. The sighs that overflowed from his throat were like the autumn wind sweeping across the desolate fields, sad and helpless. Every breath seemed to be lamenting the fate of the people in the world, and every sigh seemed to be telling the story of the fireworks in the world. Hard and difficult.

People in Yangqu County are drifting away, and the memories of that time are like dust blown away by the wind, but they are reunited into a mass of heavy worries in a letter that comes one after another. The handwriting on that letter was like a sharp knife, piercing through the appearance of prosperity and piercing people's hearts. In the letter, friends from the south detailed a shocking fact: local food prices did not drop due to the abundant harvest of potatoes as rumored, but instead soared like a runaway wild horse, rising day by day. Climbing high in one day, there is undoubtedly a huge misunderstanding or unknown secret hidden in it.

Lin Xiaofeng, a person who is well versed in world affairs and has an insight into everything, has long foreseen the occurrence of this kind of situation, and speculated that there must be someone with deep intentions in the court manipulating this strange food price trend. However, he never expected that the opponent's wrist would be so fast and decisive, as if everything was under his control. Faced with such a predicament, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but secretly wonder, what kind of power leaked this secret news to the world?

At this moment, people from all walks of life are offering suggestions one after another. Their words are like floating clouds. They seem to be exciting and powerful, but in fact they cannot touch the core of the problem. Opening warehouses to release grain is naturally the first choice to solve the famine, but the current grain reserves are obviously unable to fill the growing demand gap. Therefore, Lin Xiaofeng turned his attention to the local gentry, hoping that they would be generous in this critical moment. However, no matter whether they requested the requisition of their food reserves or tried to obtain food through loans, it was difficult to achieve substantial progress. Even if you get something occasionally, it is only a drop in the bucket. After all, human nature dictates that who is willing to give up his own interests to fill the belly of others?

If the government takes strong measures to force him to demand it, how should he respond? I am afraid I can only respond helplessly: "We have done everything we can, the granary is empty, and we are unable to take anything by force." Behind these words is Lin Xiaofeng's deep helplessness and sadness under the ruthless veil of reality.

Lin Xiaofeng, a person with unique acumen and depth honed in the officialdom, was once ignited by the flame of idealism and fantasized about some shocking feat - such as carving a stone and erecting a monument to record the arduous journey and outstanding achievements of this disaster relief. In this way, we can stimulate people's morale and stabilize the turbulent social situation. However, in the cruel and real reality, such expedient measures are like a drop of water falling into the vast desert. Although there is a momentary flash, it cannot change the nature of drought. In the face of ruthless famine, real food supply is the cornerstone that is as heavy as Mount Tai. No gorgeous superficial articles can fill the ravine in the heart of the hungry.

Further analysis shows that the reason why those gentry who have been members of wealthy families for generations are able to stand in the world is precisely their endless pursuit and persistence of face and status. They are the products of the intertwining and breeding of primary capital and power, with greed and greed flowing in their bones. Selfish nature. Trying to get life-saving food from them is like trying to pry a rock. The entanglements of interests involved are complicated and reach an unimaginable level.

The whole incident is handled like an extremely complicated chess game. Every move must be made carefully, just like walking on thin ice. A slight mistake may trigger a chain reaction, eventually causing the entire layout to fall apart, and the whole game will be destroyed. lose. The dispatching of every grain of rice is an in-depth consideration of human nature, power and morality, and Lin Xiaofeng knows very well that this life-and-death game is far more intense and difficult than any temple battle.

The messenger of Yangqu shoulders a heavy mission, and like a lonely traveler, embarks on a journey full of unknowns and challenges. During these more than twenty days when day and night alternated and the stars rotated, information quickly traveled across the vast sky between the imperial court and the disaster area like meteors, affecting Emperor Jingjiang's eyes that could see the world. He watched six directions and was as careful as hair, and he keenly captured the subtle changes in Lin Xiaofeng's recent words and deeds. The light of a wise man flickered in his deep eyes.

So in the solemn and solemn court hall, Emperor Jingjiang slowly stood up, and his eyes were like a solemn bronze sculpture, looking at Lin Xiaofeng's position. His tone was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry the weight of a mountain: "Lin Aiqing, I see that you have been acting strangely recently, and I guess that you must have a plan in mind to deal with this famine. Please feel free to give me some advice."

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this question, his face was calm and as calm as a thousand-year-old stone. He leaned slightly, raised his hands respectfully, and responded to the emperor on the dragon throne: "Your Majesty, I think that at the current price of food, On this issue, it is not advisable to forcefully intervene in price reductions. We should comply with the natural laws of the market and wait for food prices to reach their peak. At that time, grain merchants from all over the world will smell business opportunities and rush to the disaster areas to provide food. "

"If we can temporarily endure the impact of this price fluctuation, given time, food prices may be able to correct themselves and be alleviated under the delicate balance of supply and demand." However, behind these seemingly rational and calm words, there is a hidden meaning. There is a cruel reality hidden - the continued rise in food prices will inevitably lead to rampant famine, and the tragedy of starvation may follow one after another. Lin Xiaofeng did not say this outright. In his view, the operation of the market has its own internal regulatory mechanism. Compared with the slow response of the government in ancient times, this mechanism is more efficient and precise. There is no need to emphasize it in detail, and you only need to wait quietly for it to work.

Even in this era when the court is trying to control economic activities through regulation, it must deeply respect the iron law of the market, just like the earth needs to follow the cycle of seasons. Violating the laws of nature will often only result in bitter lessons. Just imagine, when the price of food in the disaster area rises like a wild horse, the wealthy gentry with rich family wealth and overflowing granaries will surely come in droves with their own food reserves and sell them. At that time, a situation of oversupply was bound to form, and the originally high food prices were like a huge rock rolling down from a high mountain, falling to the bottom in an instant.

In the eyes of many courtiers, Lin Xiaofeng's opinions were undoubtedly a challenge and subversion of traditional concepts, and he knew that Emperor Jingjiang might frown upon this. Sure enough, before Emperor Jingjiang could express his stance, Lu Yinsheng's worried eyes had already reacted faster than his voice, and his dissatisfaction poured out instantly like a mountain torrent: "Master Lin, if you insist on doing this, I am afraid that people all over the world will criticize and discuss it. If the government does not take the initiative at this time, won't the emperor's majesty be stained and subject to unwarranted criticism and accusations?" Facing Lu Yinsheng's doubts, Lin Xiaofeng's face was as calm as an ancient well. Wubo, his deep eyes shone with determination and wisdom, and he responded calmly: "Mr. Lu, everyone in the world knows that governing by doing nothing is also a profound governance wisdom. Governments everywhere only need to be diligent and dedicated, We must stick to our responsibilities and ensure that the place is peaceful and the people are safe and peaceful. They have their own way of survival without the need for too much interference from others. Furthermore, if the path we choose is already off track, then the harder we struggle to move forward, the more we will fall into a quagmire. Unable to extricate himself, the misery will only deepen.”

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiaofeng's tone became calmer and more powerful, as if an undercurrent deep underground was surging in the court hall. His eyes were firm and he spoke loudly. He faced Emperor Jingjiang who was sitting on the dragon throne above him and said: "Your Majesty, although this strategy seems unique, everything in the world is possible. Perhaps it is this eclectic method that can lead to success." If there is an unexpected turn of events and vitality, why not give it a brave try?" However, when Lu Yinsheng heard this, his face turned as pale as a sheet of paper, and then turned red again. He retorted sternly: "Such a sinister plan is absolutely impossible. ! If the market is allowed to fluctuate wildly, it is tantamount to giving opportunities to those who covet the national crisis and seek opportunities to make a fortune. Such actions that harm the public and enrich private interests must not be tolerated!"

Faced with Lu Yinsheng's aggressive words, Lin Xiaofeng did not show any intention of shrinking. Instead, he held his chest and head high, facing the pressure, and responded with an passionate and sincere attitude: "To those victims who are struggling on the edge of life and death. For us, every moment at this moment is related to survival, and every step may lead to hope or despair. Those who are worried about those who seek personal gain during the national crisis may be able to seize the food in their hands. The only life-saving straw is the faint fire that allows them to continue their lives and rekindle their hope. Even if the price behind this fire is high and even cruel, as long as it can illuminate their way forward in the darkness and ignite the desire for survival in their hearts. Faith, isn’t this another form of salvation? In this case, why can’t we examine and accept all possible phenomena with a broader vision and tolerance?”

The corners of Lu Yinsheng's mouth raised slightly, outlining a cold arc like the cold wind on a winter night. There was a gleam of contempt in his eyes, as if a sharp sword blade flashed in the sun. In a calm and sharp tone, like the sound of hitting a stone, he asked loudly and resonantly: "According to what you Lin Xiaofeng said, where should the moral principles that our dynasty has followed and maintained for generations be placed? If everyone follows this example If we act like this, over time, wouldn’t this world be reduced to a chaotic world of intrigue and opportunism? And wouldn’t those with evil intentions take advantage of this opportunity to incite national calamity and create chaos?”

Facing Lu Yinsheng's aggressive questioning, Lin Xiaofeng did not show any intention of shrinking. On the contrary, a cold and deep smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. The laughter was like a piece of ice hitting a hard stone wall in winter. It made a biting and cold sound. "Master Lu, you seem to have led the topic in a direction that is far away from the current urgent problem. What we are discussing at the moment is how to rescue the victims in dire straits. Is the face of the court more important, or the lives of the common people are more urgent? ? What real help can these empty talks and high moral banners bring to the hungry and naked victims? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiaofeng cast his eyes firmly on Emperor Jingjiang, and the fortitude and determination between his brows were clearly visible. He took a step forward resolutely, clasped his fists with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I hereby impeach you to impeach Lu Yinsheng, the Minister of Household Affairs. Although Mr. Lu is in a high position, he has failed to take active actions. He is like a corpse sitting on a plain meal. An important minister of the country failed to fulfill his responsibilities at a critical moment related to people's livelihood!" These words were like a boulder falling into a lake, causing ripples and causing the entire hall to fall into a brief silence and tremor.

When Lu Yinsheng heard this, his face turned as pale as a sheet of paper. A look of astonishment quickly climbed onto his cheeks, and the look of disbelief solidified on his slightly stiff face. Unexpectedly, in this court hall, he was hit hard by Lin Xiaofeng while he was speaking. The indignation surged in his heart like a tide, making him speechless for a moment. He could only spit out one word from the depth of his throat: " You...!" These short and heavy words were like a pebble dropped into the middle of a lake, causing ripples in circles.

The surrounding ministers all turned their attention to this sudden dispute, and all of them looked gloomy, like dark clouds over the city, making the atmosphere in the entire hall almost suffocating. Although Lin Xiaofeng was taciturn on weekdays, whenever he spoke, he always pointed out the ills of the times. He was not afraid of the powerful and ignored the red tape of the court. His outspoken character attracted everyone's attention. This is not the first time that Lu Yinsheng has been impeached mercilessly by Lin Xiaofeng.

Emperor Jingjiang noticed the tense atmosphere in the hall, and his deep gaze swept over Lin Xiaofeng, showing obvious displeasure and reproach. He sternly shouted: "That's enough! Lin Xiaofeng, what you said It's getting more and more deviant!" Then, he turned his gaze to Bai Yongyuan, who had been watching the situation quietly, with a light of expectation on his eyebrows: "Master Bai, do you have any unique insights on this matter?"

When Bai Yongyuan heard the emperor's personal inquiry, his originally calm expression suddenly became solemn. He hesitated for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and then he slowly spoke, with caution and fairness in his words: "Your Majesty, I privately believe that Mrs. Lin The views put forward by Fu today do have profound truth on some levels."
