"what chance?"
"Give up those meaningless and vain attachments, and don't give people a reason to kill you, so that you can continue to stay in the Orthodox Academy, stay in the capital, and help His Majesty."
"I do not understand."
"The Night Demon Queen is right. Those princes are not vegetarians, and the Tianhai family will not always be honest. Whether His Majesty can secure the throne is always a question."
"Don't you trust the teacher?"
"The loyalty of the head of the business does not need to be proved, but I don't mind if His Majesty can get more help."
Chen Changsheng probably understood what Mr. Lin meant.
Or, this was really his chance with the Orthodox Academy, but he didn't speak.
Mr. Lin said: "Accept the order, hand over Tianhai's body, show your attitude to the whole world, and stay by Your Majesty's side."
Chen Changsheng was silent for a long time, and said, "Why would I do this?"
Mr. Lin said, "Because His Majesty needs your help."
Chen Changsheng was silent for a longer time, and said, "Why should I help him?"
Elder Lin's expression became colder, and he said: "Only in this way, can we live up to the love of classmates and the righteousness of monarch and minister."
"Student love... Of course there is."
Chen Changsheng stood up, put his right hand on the window sill, looked at the increasingly chilling autumn scenery outside the window, and said a little dullly: "But what is the righteousness of a monarch and a minister?"
Old Mr. Lin looked at him and said sharply: "As a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, don't you dare not call yourself a courtier?"
"Even if I am willing to be a courtier, why do senior brothers want to be a monarch?"
He shook his head and said, "And my senior brother can only govern people, how can he govern a country?"
Mr. Lin thought he understood something, his voice became extremely indifferent, he looked at him and said: "The demon queen is not your mother, you are just a pawn, you'd better be sober, don't save me because she rescued you at the top of Tianshuling Peak. You, you feel that she has a deep affection for you, and you feel that you should be a filial piety for her. "
Chen Changsheng said: "On the chessboard, chess is divided into black and red. If I am your empress' chess piece, how can I become your chess piece?"
As everyone knows, he is a pawn or fruit that the anti-Tianhai faction has painstakingly cultivated many years ago.
Although the Holy Empress Tianhai didn't kill him or eat him, this fruit of his managed to send the toxin into her body after all.
This is probably the so-called destiny, or the so-called way of heaven, which is elusive, and no one can beat it so far.
Since he is the master's chess piece, he is naturally not the holy queen's chess piece, so there is no need to investigate too much.
This is something he spent three days trying to figure out.
"So you think she is a good person, and you are sad about her departure, so you refuse to accept the order? Or do you think that in the past three days, too many people died in the capital, which violated your principles? Don't forget, she never Neither is a virtuous and benevolent woman, if she wins this time, more people will die in Kyoto."
Mr. Lin looked at him solemnly and said.
"Of course the Holy Empress is not a good person. She saved me at the peak of Tianshuling, but she wanted to save me at that moment."
Chen Changsheng's gaze out of the window gradually moved upwards, and fell on the faintly visible hills far away. After a moment of silence, he continued: "I will not deceive myself, it represents the relationship between mother and child, or how big the relationship is. Kindness...but in the end she saved me, and in that moment, I could see that her kindness was real."
When he said this, he was calm and lonely. It is rare for young people to see such two emotions appearing at the same time.
After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and said, "You should be very clear, I won't trust anyone anymore."
Anyone who has experienced what he has experienced will never have any trust in this world.
"You can trust me, just like many people do." Mr. Lin said looking at his back.
When he was in Xining Town, Chen Changsheng naturally didn't know the rumors about this old eunuch, but after coming to the capital, no matter how isolated he was, he had heard stories about this person.
In the eyes of the world, Mr. Lin is the hero who values love and righteousness the most, the most loyal and unparalleled national soldier, and the most unyielding gentleman.
Back then, Emperor Taizong failed to choose a successor, and the palace was extremely dangerous. As the late emperor's milk brother, he resolutely left the palace and entered the palace as a eunuch to protect the safety of the late emperor. Later, the late emperor was seriously ill, and the holy queen When the empress was in power, he endured humiliation for the benefit of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the common people, and lived in the palace until the late emperor passed away before leaving.
Mr. Lin has done many things like this. His life is a legendary life, almost perfect.
Today, he came to the Orthodox Academy with an imperial decree. He wanted to subdue Chen Changsheng on behalf of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on behalf of the people and all surnames, and on behalf of His Majesty.
To subdue Chen Changsheng, the first thing Mr. Lin has to do is to convince Chen Changsheng that there are always some things in this world that are worth trusting, and he should fight for them.
For example, the great Zhou dynasty's long-term existence, the bright future of the human race, the supreme glory of the Chen royal family, and His Majesty's throne.
It was very quiet in the library.
"I don't trust you."
Without any consideration or hesitation, Chen Changsheng's answer was very direct and firm.
The so-called righteousness and loyalty seem to have no effect on him.
Elder Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Why?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Because you threatened us with the lives of our relatives earlier."
Mr. Lin said expressionlessly: "I used the lives of their relatives to push open the gate of the Orthodox Academy. There was no killing or death. Isn't this the best result?"
Chen Changsheng said: "In order to achieve the goal, the process and means don't matter?"
"Yes, as long as you haven't forgotten your original intention during the process."
Mr. Lin said with a proud expression: "I have used my whole life to prove that I have done it."
Chen Changsheng didn't say anything more, and asked, "What will happen if I insist on not accepting the order?"
"Before I left the palace, the dean of business told me that this college is too small. If it is destroyed, it shouldn't be too much trouble to rebuild it."
Old Mr. Lin's voice became a little floaty, like a fairy voice, and like a devil's cry from the underworld.
"So, is this the original intention?"
Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, and said, "I'm sorry, a friend of mine left."
Mr. Lin said: "Even if your friend is here, what can be changed?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "Of course he can't change anything, but I'm not good at speaking. If he was here, he might be able to speak clearly for me."
Mr. Lin asked, "If your friend were here, what would he say?"
Chen Changsheng was silent for a long time, imagining what that guy would probably say if he encountered such a situation.
After a while, he turned around and looked into Mr. Lin's eyes.
"In these years, the princes of the Chen family have acted tyrannically and harmed the people in the prefectures and counties. Have you ever said anything?"
"The holy empress uses Zhou Tong, Cheng Jun and other treacherous ministers, so she is not a good person. Now you are also using Zhou Tong, and you will reuse it, so what kind of good people are you?"
"That year, you eunuched yourself into the palace in order to satisfy your vain martyrdom. Have you ever thought about what your parents thought? What did your majesty think?"
Elder Lin's expression suddenly became severe, and he shouted: "Your Majesty and I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Changsheng continued: "Your Majesty and you are like brothers. You are only willing to consider yourself a minister or a slave, which makes Your Majesty even more lonely and sad. Where is the friendship?"
Elder Lin was furious and shouted: "This is a monarch and minister, so naturally the monarch and minister..."
Chen Changsheng still didn't let him finish speaking, and continued calmly and firmly.
"I don't care how you view the relationship between yourself and the first emperor, but that will definitely not be the relationship between me and my brother."
"Brother, he definitely doesn't want to be a king, so naturally I can't be a minister."
"Besides, I am the future Pope, not a courtier."
…
…
Mr. Lin laughed back in anger, looked at him and said mockingly: "Do you think you are still the future pope? It's ridiculous."
"If my friend was still around, he would definitely say... This is not something you are qualified to ask, what are you?"
Chen Changsheng's voice was still calm, without any hint of mockery, like mechanical repetition, or imitation.
Including when it comes to qualifications, and whatnot.
He was learning from his friend's way of speaking.
This way of speaking combined with the opposite calmness has a lethality beyond imagination.
It's still like what his friend said three years ago in the Plum Garden Inn.
Elder Lin's breath became a little heavy.
Now in this world, amidst too many people breathing heavily, the black-armored heavy cavalry outside the Orthodox Academy were about to charge, and the heavy armored horses also breathed heavily.
In the next moment, Mr. Lin became much quieter because he was out of anger.
He looked at Chen Changsheng expressionlessly and said: "I value you because of your status in the state religion and the slight reputation you have earned in the past three years, not because of you. Reversing the general trend of the world and resisting the tide of heaven? No, many innocent people will die because of your stupid decision."
Chen Changsheng said: "And the blood of those innocent people will not stain your hands, you will always be clean, right?"
Mr. Lin said proudly: "That's because I have righteousness at hand."
Chen Changsheng thought of those people at the Ivy Banquet three years ago, who asked Xu Yourong to marry Mr. Qiu Shan out of righteousness, and asked him to break off the engagement.
"I was wrong," he said.
Mrs. Lin said indifferently, "It's too late to know what's wrong."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I mean, if my friend was here, he wouldn't talk as much as I did just now."
Mr. Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "Really?"
Chen Changsheng said, "He probably can only speak four words."
Mr. Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Which four words."
Chen Changsheng said, "Fuck you."
