Persuading others is not an easy task.
Because everyone's soul is unique, and everyone has their own persistence and convictions.
You can't expect a child born in a rural area to understand what a children's palace is like.
Lin Yuanlong has never been to the Children's Palace.
Even if he is a regional commander and a powerful figure today.
He also couldn't understand the Grand Secretary's thoughts.
At the same time, I cannot agree with it.
The main reason he has been able to hold back until now is because he is mindful of the other party's kindness in recognizing his talent.
However, the difference between a tyrant and a hero lies in the fact that a tyrant only does what he believes is right.
They will not be bound by so-called personal relationships.
A ruthless and ruthless person has no sense of humanity!
Having arrived at the Forbidden City, Lin Yuanlong's eyes were only on the magnificent Mahavira Hall and the piece of Hetian jade.
"By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous"—which man could resist the allure of these eight words?
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, you cannot persuade me!"
Thump!
He slowly took a step forward.
"How dare you!!"
Hua Zhen couldn't hold back any longer and immediately stepped in front of the Grand Secretary.
brush!
Behind Lin Yuanlong, the man in the golden mask also suddenly drew his knife.
"Young Marshal Lin, are you going to be as stubborn as your father?" Hua Zhen shouted coldly.
He had been holding back for a long time. He didn't understand Lin Yu's silence.
"He is not Lin Yu!"
At this moment, Feng Hongye spoke, her eyes flashing.
Hua Zhen paused for a moment.
Feng Hongye's gaze was somewhat complicated. Although this man's aura and cultivation techniques were very similar to Lin Yu's, they were far less vast than Lin Yu's, so it was impossible for him to be Lin Yu.
The man in the golden mask slowly removed the mask, revealing a handsome face.
Everyone was stunned.
Even the soldiers of the Jinling Army were stunned.
They thought that the one who had always been in charge of them was Marshal Lin, but they never expected that he was actually a stand-in.
Feng Jiu's lips curled up slightly. "My young marshal returned to the northeastern front not long ago to fight off foreign enemies. He only cares about the safety of Great Xia and has no interest in participating in so-called power struggles!"
Feng Hongye shook her head, took a letter from her pocket, walked over, and handed it to Lin Yuanlong.
"Uncle, this is a letter Lin Yu gave me before. In the letter, he mentioned that I should protect the Grand Secretary. Also, part of it is about you!"
Lin Yuanlong was slightly taken aback.
He took the letter, glanced at it carefully, and then slowly clenched his fist, crumpling the letter into a ball.
"Son! So you knew I would enter the pass?" Lin Yuanlong's expression was extremely complicated.
No one knows a father better than his son.
Lin Yu knew this Laozi all too well.
He was fully aware of his ambition, his obsession with power, and his own shortcomings.
The entry of the Fengtian Army into the pass was within his expectations.
But Lin Yu did not stop him.
This is the tacit understanding between him and Pang Wensheng.
The reduction of the power of the feudal lords was inevitable, and the powerful warlords were also among the feudal lords.
The rise of the Feng family was to balance the power of the aristocratic clans. Now that the aristocratic clans have been destroyed, there is no need for this force to exist. Otherwise, it would become too powerful to control.
However, there must be a reason to take back military power, and the Fengtian Army's entry into the pass was that reason.
If Lin Yuanlong had not ordered the entry into the pass, he would not have reached the Forbidden City, and he would not have had the opportunity to see the dragon and remove his armor.
Now that the enemy is at the gates, it is only natural that the Grand Secretary would strip him of his military power.
“My son, I am your father, and you are my son. I have always considered your needs, but you have conspired with others to scheme against your father!”
In an instant, Lin Yuanlong seemed to have aged ten years.
Are you sad?
Are you sad?
Perhaps he never truly understood his son.
In Lin Yu's eyes, there was no such thing as power; he simply wanted the people to live a better life.
He scoffed at the throne; he had already enjoyed the ultimate power and wealth in the world and didn't care about it at all.
Even the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty was nothing more than a few trials and tribulations for him.
[Father, this is to inform you that the events in Yandu were all planned jointly by me and the Grand Secretary. If Father were to bring troops to the city gates, please do not act rashly. Everything should be done according to the Grand Secretary's will! Your son, Lin Yu!]
In just a few words, everything is said.
"Father," this was the first time Lin Yu had addressed Lin Yuanlong so formally.
Lin Yuanlong felt the heavy weight of the letter.
He knew that Lin Yu was not doing this willingly; his calling him "father" was merely to protect the Grand Secretary.
But could he refuse the title of "father"?
cannot!
Although heartbroken, he couldn't refuse any of his son's requests.
Moreover, the child had never made any demands on him.
On the contrary, she herself has been using her son to do things ever since he came back.
From Fengfu to Duhufu, then to Hafu, and then to the south.
In every single thing the son did, was it for his own benefit?
He was originally just a son-in-law of the Lu family, living in seclusion and cultivating. It was his father who dragged him into this vortex.
He always wanted to make amends.
But it seems like the debt we owe is growing ever larger.
If it weren't for me, my son wouldn't have made so many enemies, wouldn't be running around like this, and wouldn't have to bear the stigma of being a traitor.
However, he had no complaints and continued to fight on the front line to protect the country.
"Young Marshal Lin, you are a true man!"
Hua Zhen couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, I felt ashamed.
He always believed that he was the one who understood the Grand Secretary the most, having followed him for many years.
But compared to Lin Yu, he is indeed far inferior.
Marshal Lin's vision and magnanimity are like those of a Grand Secretary, inspiring awe and admiration.
This, perhaps, is the tacit understanding of wise men!
"Yuanlong, do you know why I chose Lin Yu and why I trust him so much?"
The Grand Secretary suddenly spoke.
Lin Yuanlong raised his head shakily and shook his head indifferently.
The Grand Secretary sighed softly.
“Your son has never cared about his own affairs; his heart is always with the nation and the world! Such a young age, yet he has such a broad mind. Even I, an old man, often feel ashamed!”
"Wherever he goes, he fights corruption, builds charitable hospitals, and does good deeds. I don't believe that such a person who cares for the country and its people would do anything to harm the country and its people!"
"He originally possessed the world's most powerful and wealthy individuals, and there was no need for him to get involved in the quagmire of the Great Xia Dynasty, but he resolutely chose to return!"
"To relinquish personal gains and losses is selflessness, and selflessness is great love. How can I not trust such a person!"
No self!
This is an evaluation that the Grand Secretary has never made of a person before.
By this standard, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a saint of our time.
"The old blind man said he was the chosen one. I didn't quite believe it at first, but later I came to believe it!"
Feng Hongye's eyes sparkled as she murmured to herself.
