Lin Chong held the dark painting and didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but in the end he just carefully put the painting in a paper bag and kept it. There was another thing in the paper bag, a picture.
Thin letter paper.
After sending the wood away, Lin Chong sat on the edge of the chair in a daze. In fact, he had been pretending that nothing had happened. After all, he was a living person, and he was a person who he knew very well and met every day.
How could he remain indifferent now that his person was dead like this?
Wang Chengen's death indeed made him understand a lot, and also gave him a deeper understanding of Emperor Chongzhen. In the past, he thought that even the emperor was not so cold-blooded and ruthless as to disown his relatives, and he thought that those historical books were exaggerating.
Now I understand that reality is often much crueler than imagined.
He had never thought that one day he would join the fight for power. In fact, he had never been able to understand it. He thought that everyone was motivated by their own selfish desires.
To this day, he had to admit that the words "have to" really existed in the world. Cao Meng asked him if he saw it clearly? Asked him why he didn't choose to leave. In fact, he wanted to leave, but he was destined to be unable to leave.
From the moment Wang Chengen died, he understood that if he could not suppress Emperor Chongzhen, it would be impossible for him to leave Nanjing alive. It would be impossible to leave the palace alive.
Cao Meng said that he heard the conversation between Wang Chengen and Zheng Chenggong in the Imperial Garden, saying that he heard Wang Chengen plead for mercy on his behalf, and then he died not long after, at the hands of the emperor whom he had always trusted and supported. If even one person could stand for him.
If you can't tolerate anyone who begs for mercy, how can you let yourself, the rightful owner, go?
And what will happen to those young people who have been promoted by themselves, those who have hope for the continued existence of the Ming Dynasty in the future?
Jonathan also heard about Wang Chengen's death. When he entered the palace, what he saw was Lin Chong sitting alone in a chair in a daze, which shocked him.
"Are you okay?" Jonathan said as he stretched out his hand and waved in front of Lin Chong.
Lin Chong slapped his hand away: "What can happen to me but you? Why did you come into the palace at this time?"
"You heartless brat, I'm not worried about you, otherwise why would I come here in such a hurry?" Jonathan slapped Lin Chong angrily.
Lin Chong grinned and rubbed his head, and slapped Jonathan back: "Can you stop hitting me on the head every time? You don't know how strong you are, I'm afraid you'll beat me to death if you miss.
"
Jonathan raised his fist: "Would you like to try this next time?"
Lin Chong was not in the mood to argue with him. He rubbed his head and thought for a while: "Old Qiao, if I decide to fight Emperor Chongzhen to the end, will you stay and help me? I ask you sincerely, I hope you can follow me
to be honest."
"Do you really want to listen to me tell the truth?" Jonathan sighed and looked at Lin Chong. Lin Chong nodded, feeling as nervous as when the teacher is about to announce his results and rankings after an exam.
As a result, Jonathan couldn't help but laughed loudly: "I've been unhappy with him for a long time, and I've wanted to fuck him for a long time."
Lin Chong took a long breath and couldn't help but glare at him: "Can you stop breathing so heavily!"
"Don't worry, just go ahead and do whatever you want to do. Not only me, but others will also stand with you. Don't have so many worries."
"Actually, I'm not worried. I just think that if I choose to stay, you might choose to stay and follow me for various reasons. But no one knows what will happen in the future. I don't want to be sorry.
Any of you."
Jonathan touched his chin: "So that's what you think. Then why don't you listen to their own opinions?"
Lin Chong was still puzzled when he heard what he said, so he looked at him and pointed to the door with a bad smile. Lin Chong looked over reflexively. This look didn't matter, and he was startled.
Three pairs of six eyes were staring at him. Yuan Qingfang, Mu Xi and Mu Mu, who came over at some unknown time, were covering their mouths and laughing.
Lin Chong glared at Jonathan with a bit of annoyance, and Jonathan quickly raised his hands to show his innocence: "Let me declare in advance that it has nothing to do with me! It was them who wanted to stand there and eavesdrop, but you didn't notice it."
Yuan Qingfang came over and put her hand gently on Lin Chong's shoulder: "I will be where you are. Before I met you, I didn't know where I should go. Now I know, I should stay where there is light."
Everyone was choked by this unexpected handful of dog food and rolled their eyes. The originally quite sensational scene no longer had the same atmosphere as before, but fortunately, the sad mood finally disappeared.
"Master, I actually like being an official. I can direct others to do this and that every day. How great! Besides, there is Mu Xi. He is full of bad ideas. If you don't let him stay here to shine, he may not be able to do it.
Who are you going to harm?" Mu Mu said the words he had been thinking about for a long time to express his determination.
Mu Xi's face turned dark after hearing his words. She pulled out her fan and was about to fight with Mu Xi. Mu Xi didn't draw his sword, but relied on his agile body skills to scurry left and right, still laughing at Mu Xi in mid-air.
Mu Xi had enough time to stare at his movements with squinted eyes for a while, and then accurately stopped him at the next foothold of the wood and gave him a beating: "What did you just say? Damn this wood, you are so capable, huh? Who knows?
Bad water? If you have the ability, say it again and I’ll listen.”
Mu Mu tried to snatch his ears back but failed every time. In desperation, he had to raise his hands and beg for mercy: "I was wrong. Master Mu Xi, you have a lot of experience. Don't speak like me. I am talking about myself. I always
I feel bad, really, let go!"
Lin Chong was originally very sad, but he was led away by these people. His worries and worries were long gone. It turned out that everyone had already seen his situation and secretly made up his mind.
He was the only one who remained undecided.
Well, he can finally fight against the odds. If he doesn't advance against the current, he will retreat. This time he will not make any concessions. For the sake of these people who are always willing to believe in him and stay with him, he cannot allow himself to admit defeat.
So what about the emperor? What about the general? Isn't he just a second-generation official with a higher status than others? He is still a scumbag ancient man, whose thinking is hundreds of years behind him. He is a 21st century person.
Will the five good young people of the new century with all-round development of morality, intelligence, body and beauty still lose to him?
In Jonathan's words, he has long been unhappy with him, so fuck him!
