Lin Jue drank it all, and everyone also raised their glasses and drank it dry. Lin Jue poured the second glass of wine, walked between the seats with the wine glass, and said in a deep voice: "This second glass of wine, Lin Jue apologizes to you." Lin Jue, as the head of the family, but everyone was displaced and frightened, which was my fault. I know you all have some complaints in your hearts, and before drinking this wine, I would like to explain to you uncles and brothers what happened. Let you understand the whole thing. ”

The crowd listened in silence, and this was what they wanted to hear the most. They wanted to find out what was going on, and what was the purpose of all of a sudden escape from Hangzhou all the way to this Funiu Mountain? If you give up a good industry and a normal life, who can have no resentment in your heart?

"Uncles and brothers, here's the thing. There was a upheaval in the court. Originally, the emperor had already set up Guo Mian, the king of Jin, as the crown prince, but the emperor's second son Guo Xu was dissatisfied. That Guo Xu was born to Concubine Mei, the daughter of the current prime minister Lu Zhongtian, and Lu Zhongtian tried his best to promote Guo Xu to be made the crown prince. In this way, the bamboo basket is empty, and they are not angry. Guo Xu took a risk, colluded with Lu Zhongtian and other rebel ministers to launch a coup d'état, killed the emperor, the crown prince and the queen mother, and washed the harem in blood. The privy envoy Yang Jun not only failed to stop it, but joined it after the incident for his own position and interests. Overnight, the court was bloody and bloody, the emperor and the prince died tragically, but Guo Xu, who was inferior to beasts, became the emperor today. ”

Although they had heard of these rumors for a long time, at this moment, when everyone in the Lin family heard Lin Jue tell what had happened, the audience was still stunned and dumbfounded.

"This beast, all this is true. It's incredible. ”

"Yes, this Guo Xu killed his father and brother, killed the queen mother and the queen, and lost his family, so pigs and dogs are not as good."

Everyone whispered and smacked their tongues.

Lin Jue continued: "...... Of course, what happened in the palace had little to do with ordinary people. However, because of the matter of the new law and the dispute between the crown prince, I formed a feud with Guo Xu, Lu Zhongtian and others when I was an official in the court, you must know Fang Daru, who was the original chief of the mountain in Songshan Academy and was quite famous in Hangzhou. He was also my mentor. It was precisely because of the persecution of Lu Zhongtian and others that Mr. Fang, who was killed, went to prison. Mr. Fang is such an upright person, how could he allow these young people to splash dirty water on their bodies, and in order to prove their innocence, he committed suicide. Although it was a suicide, the murderer was actually Lu Zhongtian and others. As a student of Mr. Fang, how could I be in the same league as the person who killed the teacher. That Guo Xu can make such a beast behavior, which shows the bad character of ordinary people. There's no way I'm going to be in the same league with that kind of person. They wooed me many times, but I flatly refused. You say, 'Am I doing the right thing?' ”

"The head of the family is doing the right thing, how can such a person befriend them? Those are all treacherous people. What father kills brother and queen mother kills queen, this is not as good as a beast. People say that tiger poison does not eat children, and such a person naturally cannot make friends with him. An old man next to the Lin family said in a deep voice.

"Yes, what the patriarch said is very right, if the head of the family mixes with such a person, will he be scolded by the world. The head of the house did the right thing. Everyone said.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "It seems that my Lin family still understands right and wrong." This kind of person, how could Lin Jue befriend them? It is precisely because I usually do not pretend that after Guo Xu seized the throne, he

They will get rid of me. Of course I don't want to sit still. Not only will I not die at their hands, but I will save the others he will kill. That's why I'm here at the moment. You say, "I'm doing the right thing." ”

Everyone nodded and said, "It should be so." ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Since everyone said that I did the right thing, then the problem comes." If they want to kill me, will they let us Lin family go? ”

Everyone was speechless, and Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "This is the reason why I asked Lin Hu to send a letter to Hangzhou and inform the eldest uncle and second uncle to take you to Funiu Mountain immediately." I can't grovel before a traitor, and of course I have to flee. I fled, but I couldn't ignore the lives of my uncles and brothers in the Lin family. That is why you are here at this moment. That's how the whole thing came about. If you think Lin Jue has done something wrong. If you have left your homeland and fled to this great mountain, you will not drink this wine. I can definitely understand your feelings, and I definitely don't blame you. If you can understand why I did this, then we drank this second drink. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and the reason was spread out in front of them, the head of the family was indeed to protect his own people. If they stay in this situation, they will all be implicated, and they will all die at the hands of others.

Lin Boyong picked up the cup and got up, walked in front of Lin Jue, touched the wine glass to Lin Jue's cup, and drank it all with his neck up. He said in a deep voice: "I am the first to support Lin Jue to do this." To put it bluntly, the head of the family is also thinking about our Lin family. The head of the family can't go along with them, and after they usurp the throne, they will inevitably cleanse my Lin family. That's why the family asked us to leave Hangzhou, to save all of our lives. How can I not drink this wine? ”

When everyone heard this, they said: "You should drink, it's not the fault of the head of the family, it's a last resort." Drink, drink all. ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp. Lin Jue looked at everyone gratefully, and said softly: "Thank you for understanding my hardship, Lin Jue is grateful." ”

Lin Jue tilted his neck and drank all the wine in the cup.

Lin Boyong walked up to Lin Jue, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, don't blame yourself too much. Although my Lin family is not a wealthy family, it is also a family that has been around for hundreds of years. My Lin family has been able to last for hundreds of years and is still thriving, and it is still based on the world, relying on the unity of the family and persistence. When my Lin family migrated from the Central Plains to Hangzhou, it was also because of chaos. The ancestors of my Lin family refused to bow to the Wutang regime that usurped the throne and seized the country. Today, we moved from Hangzhou to this Funiu Mountain, also because we refused to bow to the usurper. This is exactly the style of my Lin family's ancestors, you didn't do anything wrong. It's a pity that Bonian doesn't understand this, and he doesn't know how he is now. ”

Lin Jue said: "Don't worry, uncle, although the second uncle refuses to come, I am afraid he will not be arrested." I have sent someone to visit Hangzhou, and if I find him, I will invite him here. ”

"Okay, okay, that's for the best." Lin Boyong nodded.

Lin Jue turned to the crowd and said, "Uncles and brothers, yesterday, we already held a pledge meeting. The little prince ascended to the heights, held high the banner of rebellion, and decided to avenge the crown prince and eradicate the usurper and a group of disloyal and unrighteous traitorous ministers. In other words, I have already raised the flag in Luoyan Valley and vowed not to bow to Guo Xu. Now that you've arrived, I'm relieved. Don't worry, I'm only seven in the valley of the wild goose

80,000 soldiers and civilians, but they were not afraid of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. You can find your place here, too. The biggest shortage here now is manpower, and I will soon be setting up more than a dozen workshops, which will require a lot of manpower. To put it in my heart, I can't trust these things to others, and I want to use my Lin family. Because there are some confidential things involved. ”

Lin Boyong smiled: "That's great, I'm still worried about how to settle so many of us." One or two hundred people who drag their families with their mouths, they can't farm, can't they sit and eat every day? You had a plan, so I'm relieved. ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "I'll discuss this matter with my uncle when I go back." Come up with a plan, and implement it concretely. ”

Lin Boyong nodded and said, "Okay, let's discuss and discuss it when we go back, and settle the clansmen, this is a big deal." ”

Lin Jue nodded, returned to the table and took the wine jug, walked up to Lin Boyong, and poured a glass of wine for himself and Lin Boyong. Then he raised his glass and said to Lin Boyong: "Uncle, this third glass of wine, Lin Jue wants to honor you alone." ”

Lin Boyong smiled: "What do you do to respect me? ”

Lin Jue said sincerely: "Uncle, because of the situation, I temporarily took the position of the head of the family. I have been the head of the family for a few years, and I have not contributed much to the Lin family, which is really embarrassing. I, the head of the family, am incompetent, and I rely on my eldest uncle and second uncle and brothers to support the family business and tolerate it. The Lin family can tide over the difficulties, and it all depends on your proper management, uncle. As the head of the Lin family, I have done too little, and I am really ashamed. ”

Lin Boyong smiled and said, "What are these words?" If it weren't for you, how could Bonian be rescued? Bo Nian committed a capital crime back then. In order to save the Lin family, you have tried your best to find ways in many ways. If it weren't for the fact that you let the Jiangnan Grand Theater join hands with my Lin family after becoming the head of the family, and adjusted the direction of the business, how could my Lin family recover so quickly? In the past few days, Bonian and I have always sighed at your unique vision. Be decisive. If it weren't for you, my Lin family would have collapsed. ”

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "What I have done is far from enough, most of the things are done by you, uncle." Every time I think about these things, my heart is ashamed. I can't seek benefits for everyone in the Lin family, but today I have affected everyone, and I am really ashamed of the name of the head of the family. Uncle, the real head of the Lin family is actually you. Something happened at home and some changes were made, but now, it's time to get back on track. So, this third glass of wine Lin Jue respects you. After drinking this wine, I return the title of head of the house to you, which is what I have always thought. ”

Lin Boyong waved his hand in astonishment and said, "No, I can't accept it." You are young and strong, you are the leader of my Lin family, and you are the most suitable head of the family. Don't say anything that has affected the Lin family, the reason for talent has been clearly stated, why do you still mention it? ”

Lin Jue said, "Uncle, listen to me." Now I am following the little prince to raise the banner of rebellion, and the little prince has given me the post of taking charge of military affairs, and I will be very busy. In the future, he may have to lead the army out of the mountains to fight, and it may be difficult to manage the affairs of the family. When I became the head of the house, I also took his place temporarily, which was an expedient measure. Now that this is the case, I have changed and let the head of the house out. This is good for me and for my Lin family. Your old man is highly respected and is the head of the family. After going through so many things, Lin Jue believes that the head of the family will definitely manage the Lin family in an orderly manner, which is much better than my corpse vegetarian meal. Uncle, don't shirk it, this is Lin Jue's sincere request. It's not a lie. ”
