Take a good look." Guo Xu continued in a deep voice.

Lin Jue pondered and said: "As His Royal Highness the King of Huai, knowing so many shortcomings, why not ask the court to make changes? Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be of no use."

Guo Xu laughed and said: "Lin Jue, although I am a prince, I cannot talk too much about important matters of government. After all, it is inconsistent with my status. If I talk too much, people will criticize me."

Lin Jue nodded slightly. Guo Xu's words were cryptic, but Lin Jue could understand what he meant. It is true that as a prince, he has the convenience of giving advice and can also give some suggestions. But it will inevitably give people the feeling of being eager to ascend.

Guo Xu had the desire to seize the throne, so he should be more careful with his words and deeds to avoid causing dissatisfaction with the current emperor and courtiers, otherwise it would be detrimental to major events. Moreover, the matter of emphasizing civility over military affairs was decided by the great Zhou Dynasty.

National policies will not be changed easily. His complaints may only be expressed in private.

"Your Highness, why don't you speak to Prime Minister Lu? There's no telling if the situation may change after Prime Minister Lu speaks." Lin Jue said softly.

"Haha, grandpa? He is an old man... well, he doesn't mention these things in front of the old man. I once only mentioned a few words lightly, and he lectured me for half an hour and said a lot. So.

, he couldn't even mention this matter in front of the old man. In fact, I don't want to change anything, I just want to gather a group of young people who know the art of war and strategy together. We can discuss strategies to defend against the enemy on weekdays. If the court needs it,

At that time, I can also recommend these people to the court to serve the country and show their talents. Lin Jue, please don’t misunderstand that I am forming a clique. I have no such idea. It’s okay if you don’t want to join.

I don’t force others to make things difficult for me. It’s just that we can make friends and it won’t do you any harm, right?”

Although the conversation lasted just a moment, Lin Jue's impression of Guo Xu deepened a lot. He didn't know what kind of person Guo Xu was for the moment, but this man's palace was obviously much deeper than that of King Jin. And if just now

If his dissatisfaction with the imperial court's emphasis on culture over military affairs was his true opinion, then Guo Xu was actually quite knowledgeable.

However, the soldiers and horses of the Zhou Dynasty were not strong in combat, and the generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals. The shortcomings were not only due to the emphasis on military force and the neglect of literature, but also the shortcomings of the court's organizational structure. In order to ensure the stability of the country, the court separated the mobilization of soldiers and horses from the command authority.

This is also one of the major reasons for the decline in combat effectiveness. In short, it cannot be reversed by simply changing the concept of emphasizing civility over military affairs.

Moreover, Lin Jue also smelled something unusual from Guo Xu's words. Guo Xu wanted to gather a group of young people to lead the war. Although he explained the reason, he always gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

The feeling of freedom seems to have the flavor of some conspiracy. A group of talents who can lead the war have gathered around. What is this for? The establishment of this kind of private group is obviously against the rules, giving people the feeling that Guo Xu wants to make a big difference.

.

Lin Jue will never join this small group. He doesn't want to fall into the camp of two princes competing for the heir so quickly. At present, there is no sign of the establishment of a prince. Lin Jue's memory is that of the previous life.

It was only in the ninth year after time travel that the imperial court began to put this matter on the agenda. After several years of quarrels and mutual calculations between the two factions, the result was achieved. Therefore, it is too early to take sides at this moment.

"Your Highness, of course Lin Jue is willing to make friends with you. But your Highness really thinks highly of Lin Jue. Lin Jue only knows the basics of the art of war, and his plan to annihilate the pirates is really just a matter of luck. Moreover, I personally don't like leading the army in battle.

I don’t have much interest in the matter. I only know how to write and write. If His Highness the King of Huai needs someone to talk about poetry and lyrics, Lin Jue will be at your call. If you talk about military strategies, I won’t make a fool of myself. It’s not me.

I don’t know how to praise, I’m really out of my ability, it’s just my interest. I’m very sorry.”

Guo Xu's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Lin Jue to resolutely refuse. He was stunned for a moment, then regained his smile and said: "I see, it doesn't matter. I said, I will never force anyone to do anything. However, you and I can still make friends.

What?"

Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "Lin Jue is extremely honored."

Guo Xu said with a smile: "That's good. I think you are just like my imperial brother who looks down on me because I don't like poetry. That's all. It's time for me to go back. You see, my second uncle doesn't trust you and me.

We are together, and I have sent people to watch from the shore. I am afraid that you, a coquettish guest of the royal palace, may be led astray by me, the Prince of Huai."

Lin Jue turned around and saw that on the covered bridge pier on the shore, Guo Kun and a dozen guards were standing there looking away from a distance. This is not something difficult to understand. King Liang and Lu Zhongtian are at odds with each other.

, the second prince is Lu Zhongtian's nephew, so naturally he is not welcome. This prince pulling Lin Jue to talk will certainly attract their attention.

"Let's go. Don't keep your uncle waiting." Guo Xu smiled and turned around and walked towards the shore. Lin Jue followed closely. After taking two steps, Guo Xu suddenly stopped: "By the way, there is

I almost forgot about it. I came here to apologize to you and sister Caiwei today. It's not good to bother her now. How about I apologize to you and you can convey my apology to Caiwei later."

Lin Jue asked strangely: "Apologise? Why is that?"

Guo Xu smiled and said: "It's about my uncle. I heard that a month ago, at the Daxiangguo temple meeting, my uncle offended you and there was some conflict. After learning about this, grandpa beat him severely

I scolded my uncle, and when I found out, I also scolded him and asked him to come and apologize to you. But he was thin-skinned and a little shy. So I thought, my nephew would do it for him. My uncle is also a father, and it is his responsibility.

The nephew can also bear the burden. I would like to apologize to you and Caiwei on his behalf. I hope you won't care about this matter. We are all family members, so don't hurt our feelings."

Lin Jue suddenly understood and laughed and said: "It turns out that this is the matter. Your Highness didn't mention it, so I forgot about it. It was just a misunderstanding. Speaking of which, I also had something wrong. Well, I even attacked Lu Yanei at that time.

It’s… it’s really unbecoming.”

Guo Xu laughed loudly and nodded: "You are really an interesting person. I still don't believe that you are a scholar. A scholar would not do the things you did. That's all, let's talk about it later. I'm leaving

Already."
