sleep forever

Chang Zhiqiu suddenly turned around and looked at his cousin in disbelief: "Ade, what do you mean!"

"It means literally." Lin Youde didn't look at Chang Zhiqiu, he looked over the window of the small building and looked at the sky outside: "They must think that our Donglin Society has no future, so they plan to hang out with others, Even if we set up our own family, otherwise we can’t explain why so many people promised us to make the old Chen’s family look bad, but when they got to the old Chen’s family and sat on the throne, they rushed to join us!”

Chang Zhiqiu slowly sat down on the chair behind him, subconsciously holding the cup already full of tea with both hands.The cup itself was very hot, but he held it tightly with both hands, but he didn't seem to feel anything.After a while, he looked at Lin Youde and said, "Ah De, go and find out who dared to ignore our Donglin Club's decision and go to the enemy's side without authorization. After a while, we will deal with them slowly. "

Scholars in the Kingdom of Zhendan have always been known for their elegance.Chang Zhiqiu, as an old scholar, can be regarded as a man of elegance. When he speaks, he has always been very light and gentle, even now, but Lin Youde is at the side, and he can hear the depression in his voice. To the extreme killing intent.

"Cousin, at least [-]% of the people have gone to the inauguration ceremony." Lin Youde looked into the distance, and said slowly: "[-]% of the people, are you going to kill them? The Lin Society has existed in name only. I really never imagined that the old Chen family, who was usually silent, could suddenly attract so many people. But now that I think about it, it is quite normal. In fact, there have been omens."

Chang Zhiqiu frowned, he finally realized that the teacup was a bit hot.Then he asked slowly, "How do you say that?"

"The matter of the old Chen family's rebellion started a few months ago. At that time, the old grandfather of the Chen family blatantly clamored for rebellion on the street. At that time, we still thought he was a fool, and nothing had happened yet. By leaving it out, I exposed my purpose. But now that I think about it, what he did at the time was very meaningful. Although this will make the royal family wary of him, it also tells those who have ideas and ambitions that this is an opportunity,… ...So the Qin family got on line with them just like that. And I discovered that in the past few months, apart from the royal family, Prince Liang's mansion, some scattered officials of our Donglin Society, and a few small families who have shouted in private, the real There is no big family that denounces the old Chen family. Especially the ordering officer in the court, although he said that he would advance and retreat with us, but he never took any real action, at most he sent his servants to shout twice."

Having said that, Chang Zhiqiu came to his senses: "Indeed. In the past few months, it seems that our Donglin Society and the royal family have reacted a bit...I always thought that the defense of the capital was empty, so those imperial officials were in Bear the burden of humiliation. But listening to you, it is true, that is to say. We have been treated as monkeys by others?"

"To be precise, the person who was treated like a monkey. It's you, cousin, not me." Lin Youde suddenly turned around.Looking at Chang Zhiqiu, he smiled inexplicably.

This smile made Chang Zhiqiu's whole body feel creepy. He squeezed the armrests on both sides of the chair with both hands, and stared at his cousin. The calm expression just now was gone, and instead he was a little puzzled. And annoyed: "Youde, what do you mean?"

"It still means literally." Lin Youde's smile became even more strange, with a kind of gloating, and an emotion similar to the pleasure of revenge: "Cousin, you have been the president of Donglin Society for decades. Didn't you notice that there are fewer and fewer people visiting your house?"

"What did you say?" Chang Zhiqiu frowned even deeper.Indeed, as Lin Youde said, when he first became the president of Donglin, he was very proud. The dignitaries who came to his house every day were one after another, which made him a little bored, but in recent years , he found that it was indeed a discovery, and there were very few guests coming to the door.He always thought that it was his growing power that made outsiders dare not disturb his life casually, but Lin Youde's words just now made him think of a very frightening possibility.

If he said something that made people feel angry, he was betrayed by his trusted relatives.Bloodshot eyes began to appear in Chang Zhiqiu's eyes. He stared at Lin Youde, tried his best to control his volume, and asked, "Ah De, do you want to vote for Old Chen's family too?"

Memories of his childhood flashed before his eyes, and Lin Youde seemed to see the previous situation again. His cousin, who was a few years older than him, took him around and taught him homework. At that time, the relationship between the two was so good that they agreed to Become the most talented and famous person in Cathay Kingdom.As time goes by, people grow up and mature, and they have indeed reached the pinnacle of scholars, but Chang Zhiqiu gradually deviated from his own ideals and principles, and he himself, also under the tempering of reality, became Gradually cold-blooded and numb.

"Yeah, I plan to vote for the old Chen family. The Liang dynasty has collapsed and rotted to the core. The rebellion between the north and the south is an obvious sign. The new court will take its place. This is the same cycle of thousands of years. The general trend." As if with nostalgic emotions, but also with a kind of relief, Lin Youdefeng's face was like a jade, with a trace of determination: "President, this is the last time I call you. Donglin Under your leadership, the Society is not as good as it is day by day. You appear to be impartial and work hard for the Donglin Society, but in fact you are secretly using the Donglin Society to amass money and cultivate power for your cronies. You have almost dug up the roots, and the Chang family can be said to be as rich as an enemy. You think that you are doing it very secretly, and no one will know, but you forgot, we are also scholars, we are not stupid, you can pretend Two years, or even ten years, but can you pretend for a lifetime?"

Chang Zhiqiu looked at Lin Youde, and then he raised his voice: "You are also a relative of our Chang family, in other words, you are also my confidant, can you leave? How dare the old Chen family want you?"

"Yes, our Lin family is married to the Chang family." Lin Youde smiled: "But so what, I am a scholar, I have ability and strength. But is one of your other relatives a scholar? They Holding most of the important positions in the Donglin Society, the scholars will not embarrass the scholars, besides, the person who takes the lead to unite them is me!"

"What!" Chang Zhiqiu stood up abruptly, the table was hit by his body, the teacup on the table was overturned, and the lid of the cup rolled down from above, making a harsh shattering sound.

"Cousin, you still have three hours. Go as far as you can."

After Lin Youde finished speaking, he left the room.Chang Zhiqiu sat back on the chair and remained motionless. After a while, he vomited a mouthful of blood, which stained his chest red, and then burst out laughing inexplicably. (To be continued..)
