Chapter 673: A Friend
"What chance?"
"Give up those meaningless, nihilistic attachments, and don't give people a reason to kill you, so that you can continue to stay in the National Religious Academy, stay in Kyoto, and help Your Majesty's chance. ”
"I don't understand. ”
"The night demon queen is right, those princes are not vegetarians, and the Tianhai family will not always be honest, whether Your Majesty can sit on the throne is always a question. ”
"Don't you trust the teacher?"
"Dean Shang's loyalty doesn't need to be proven, but I don't mind that Your Majesty can get more help. ”
Chen Changsheng probably understood what Old Man Lin meant.
Or, it really was an opportunity for him and the Anglican Academy, but he didn't speak.
Old man Lin said: "Take 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 should I do this?"
Old man Lin said, "Because Your Majesty needs your help." ”
Chen Changsheng was silent for a longer time and said, "Why should I help him?"
Old Man Lin's expression became colder, and he said: "Only in this way can we live up to the feelings of classmates and the righteousness of monarchs and ministers." ”
"Classmates...... Of course. ”
Chen Changsheng stood up, his right hand fell on the windowsill, looking at the increasingly solemn autumn colors outside the window, and said with some smuggling: "But what is the righteousness of the monarch and the minister?"
Old Man Lin looked at him and said sharply: "As a citizen of the Great Zhou, do you dare not call yourself a courtier?"
"Even if I am willing to be a courtier, why does my senior brother want to be a king?"
He shook his head and said, "And my senior brother can only govern people, so where can he govern the country?"
Old man 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 chess piece, you had better be sober, don't just because she saved you at the top of the Tianshu Tomb, you feel that she has a deep affection for you, and you feel that you should guard the tomb for her and do your filial piety." ”
Chen Changsheng said: "On the chessboard, the chess pieces are black and red, if I am my mother's chess piece, how can I become your chess piece?"
As the world knows, he is a chess piece or fruit that the anti-Tianhai faction has painstakingly cultivated many years ago.
Although the Heavenly Sea Holy Queen did not kill him or eat him, his fruit finally succeeded in sending the toxin into her body.
This is probably the so-called fate, or the so-called heavenly way, which is elusive and has been undefeated so far.
Since he is the master's pawn, he is naturally not the pawn of the Holy Queen, so there is no need to explore too much.
It took him three days to figure it out.
"So you think she's a good person, and you're sad about her departure, so you refuse to accept it? Or do you think that in the past three days, too many people have died in Kyoto, and it goes against your principles? Don't forget, she has never been a virtuous and righteous woman, and if she wins this time, more people will die in Kyoto. ”
Old man Lin looked at him and said solemnly.
"Of course the Holy Queen Niangniang is not a good person, she saved me at the top of the Tianshu Tomb, but at that moment she wanted to save me. ”
Chen Changsheng's gaze cast out of the window gradually moved upward, landing on the faintly visible mountain in the distance, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "I won't deceive myself, that means the love of mother and son, or how much kindness there is...... But after all, she saved me, and in that moment, I could realize that her kindness was real. ”
When he said this, he was calm and lonely, and it is rare to see such two emotions at the same time in a young man.
After a long time, he retracted his gaze, looked down and said, "You should know very well that I won't trust anyone anymore. ”
Anyone who has gone through these things that he has been through will no longer have any trust in the world.
"You can trust me, like a lot of people. Old man Lin looked at his back and said.
When he was in Xining Town, Chen Changsheng naturally didn't know about the rumors of this old eunuch, but after coming to Kyoto, no matter how isolated he was, he also heard those stories about this person.
In the eyes of the world, Old Man Lin is the most affectionate and righteous hero, the most loyal and unparalleled countryman, and the most undeceivable gentleman.
Emperor Taizong has never been able to determine the successor, the palace is very dangerous, as the first emperor's milk brother, he resolutely from the palace, into the palace as a eunuch, is to protect the safety of the first emperor, and then, the first emperor is seriously ill, the holy queen Niangniang is in power, he for the interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Li people, endure humiliation, and live in the palace until the death of the first emperor before leaving.
Husband Lin has done a lot of things like this, and his life is a legendary life, almost perfect.
Today, he came to the National Religious Academy with the holy decree, and he wanted to subdue Chen Changsheng for the Great Zhou Dynasty, for Li Minwan, and for His Majesty.
If he wants to subdue Chen Changsheng, the first thing that Old Man Lin has to do is to convince Chen Changsheng that there are always things in this world that are trustworthy and fight for them.
For example, the survival of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the bright future of the human race, such as the supreme glory of the Chen royal family, such as the throne of His Majesty.
It's 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.
Old Man Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Why?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Because before, you threatened us with the lives of our relatives. ”
Old man Lin said expressionlessly: "I used the lives of their relatives to push open the courtyard gate of the National Religious Academy, there was no killing, no death, isn't this the best result?"
Chen Changsheng said: "In order to achieve the goal, the process and the means do not matter?"
"Yes, as long as you don't forget your original intention in the process. ”
Old man Lin said with a proud look: "I have proved that I have done it with my life. ”
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, Dean Shang said to me that this academy is too small, and if it is destroyed, it should not be too troublesome to rebuild. ”
Old Man Lin's voice became a little floating, like a fairy sound, and like a ghost cry coming from the netherworld.
"It turns out that this is the original intention?"
Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, and said, "I'm sorry, I have a friend who left. ”
Old man Lin said, "Even if your friend is here, what can you change?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "Of course he can't change anything, it's just that I'm not good at talking, if he is here, he can make it clear for me." ”
Old man Lin asked, "If that friend was 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 moment, he turned around and looked into Old Man Lin's eyes.
"Over the years, the prince of the Chen family has acted tyrannically and brutalized the people in the state and county, what have you ever said?"
"The Holy Queen uses Zhou Tong, Cheng Jun and other traitors, naturally they are not good people, and now you are also using Zhou Tong, and you will reuse them, so what kind of good people are you?"
"That year, in order to satisfy your vain pleasure of martyrdom, you castrated yourself into the palace, have you ever thought about what your parents thought?
Old Man Lin's expression was sudden, and he shouted: "I ...... Your Majesty"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Chen Changsheng continued: "Your Majesty and you are like brothers, you are only willing to call yourself a minister or a slave, which makes Your Majesty even more lonely and sad, where is the love?"
Old Man Lin was furious and shouted: "This is a monarch and a minister, and naturally a monarch and a minister ......"
Chen Changsheng still didn't let him finish his words, and continued calmly and firmly.
"Regardless of what you think of the relationship between yourself and the first emperor, it will definitely not be the relationship between me and my senior brother. ”
"Senior brother, he definitely doesn't want to be a king, so naturally I can't be a minister. ”
"Moreover, I am the future Pope, not a courtier. ”
......
......
Old Man Lin laughed angrily, looked at him and said mockingly: "Do you think you are still the future Pope? ”
"If my friend was still around, he would have said it...... It's not something you're qualified to ask, what are you. ”
Chen Changsheng's voice was still calm, without any hint of mockery, like a mechanical repetition or imitation.
Including when it comes to qualifications, and whatever.
He was learning the way his friend spoke.
This way of speaking, combined with the opposite calm, has an unimaginable lethality.
Or like his friend had said three years ago at the Plum Garden Inn.
Old Man Lin's snort became a little heavy.
Now in this world, there are too many people who are looking up to their noses, and the Xuanjia heavy cavalry outside the National Religious Academy is ready to charge, and those war horses with heavy armor have become heavy.
The next moment, Old Man Lin was much quieter because he had already left his anger.
He looked at Chen Changsheng with an expressionless face and said, "I value you because of your status in the state religion and the small reputation you have earned in the past three years, not you as a person, do you think that just by relying on you children, you can reverse the general trend of the world and resist the turbulence of the Heavenly Dao? No, there will only be many innocent people who 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?"
Old man Lin said proudly: "That's because I have righteousness in my hands." ”
Chen Changsheng remembered that at the Qingteng banquet three years ago, those people who asked Xu Yourong to marry Akiyama-kun for the sake of righteousness and asked him to dissolve the marriage contract.
"I was wrong," he said. ”
Old man Lin said indifferently: "It's too late to know your mistake. ”
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I mean, if that friend was here, he wouldn't have said so much like I just did. ”
Old man Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "Really?"
Chen Changsheng said: "He probably only can say four words. ”
Old man Lin's pupils shrank and said, "What four words." ”
Chen Changsheng said, "Fuck you." ”
