The dark sky in the capital seemed to be crying, and the sound of wind in the rain was filled with choked cries.

The Wu Mansion, located in Huaishu Alley, was ravaged by this sudden rainstorm. The drainage outlet in the main courtyard was blocked by branches, and a large amount of rainwater accumulated in the courtyard.

Wow...

A powerful official boot stepped on it, causing two splashes of water.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a first-grade official uniform, had unprecedented nervousness and sorrow on his face. He hurried to the inner house, and Lin Fu, who originally wanted to hold an umbrella for him, was left behind.

Woohoo...

In the main hall room, the lights were bright, but a woman's cry could be heard from inside.

Lin Haoran couldn't help but feel nervous, but he hurriedly walked inside, tears already filling his eyes. When he entered the bedroom, he finally saw Wu Shan lying on the bed.

Wu Shan's face was as white as paper, but there was a hint of red in front of his eyes and nose, and his overall condition seemed very bad. He was just talking about things with Wu and his daughter.

Wu's mother and Wu Qiuyu had already burst into tears, but they nodded frequently with choked sobs.

Seeing Lin Haoran rushing back, the tall Wu Kang glanced at Lin Haoran sadly, and then took the initiative to give up his position to Lin Haoran.

After the crying mother and daughter heard the news, as if they saw the last glimmer of hope, they turned their heads and looked at Lin Haoran pitifully, resolutely treating Lin Haoran as their backbone.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Lin Haoran realized that Wu Shan had been poisoned. He choked and asked, then looked around and asked, "Mr. Zhong, where is the doctor?"

Two doctors were standing next to them. Facing Lin Haoran's sharp gaze, they shook their heads in unison.

Wu Shan's ears were also bleeding, but he could hear clearly. He raised a skinny hand and said: "Ruoyu, I don't have much time left, you can come here first!"

When I said this, I was already in a very bad state, as if I was speaking with all my strength.

When Wu Kang saw this, he kicked out all the irrelevant people, while he himself stood at the door. Just looking at the endless rainstorm, his eyes revealed infinite hatred.

"Father-in-law, you will be fine, you will be fine!" Lin Haoran leaned nervously in front of the bed, holding Wu Shan's skinny hand firmly and crying.

At this moment, in addition to being nervous, there was also a kind of fear in his heart.

It was due to the influence of his father-in-law that he persisted in cultivating his moral character, kept his mission in mind, and did not lose himself in this lavish officialdom.

Along the way, although his official career had some twists and turns, it was still smooth, and his father-in-law took care of him.

For this elder who was his mentor and father-in-law, he had already developed a feeling of being like a teacher and a father. At this moment, he felt a sense of fear of losing a loved one.

Wu Shan opened his bloodshot eyes, but slowly shook his head and said: "Ruoyu, I know that you are an astonishing talent, a truly chosen person with the ability to govern the country. I wanted to help you.

The Ming Dynasty created a prosperous age, but from now on... you have to rely on yourself!"

"Father-in-law, I am not. You are the most suitable person to help the emperor govern the Ming Dynasty. I also need you to guide me!" Lin Haoran was afraid that Wu Shan would lose hope of survival, but he shook his head repeatedly.

Wu Shan was actually exhausted, and his whole hand had no warmth. However, he covered Lin Haoran's hand with his other hand and said: "You are much better than me. I still know myself, and

You are already able to stand alone

, it’s a pity that I really can’t help you! I have my own destiny, and I can’t blame anyone this time, but I have to be more cautious in the future! You are still young, and if you really can’t do anything, then choosing to hibernate for the time being is not a bad idea.

!”

After experiencing this incident, he had a deeper understanding of the court. Although he was not afraid of death, he was unwilling to repeat his path, so he gave his instructions sincerely.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law can't listen to you. I feel very unwilling at this moment!" Lin Haoran understood Wu Shan's concerns, but shook his head with an unprecedented hatred.

If Wu Shan really dies, then he has undoubtedly lost his biggest support in the court. As the Minister of Household Affairs, he has almost no chance of winning if he wants to challenge Xu Jie, and at his age, it is impossible for him to serve as the chief minister.

However, he also has an advantage, and that is his age. Xu Jie was able to keep Yan Song until he was over eighty years old, and then defeated him in one fell swoop. Xu Jie is now in his sixties.

Wu Shan held Lin Haoran's hand harder, but said with ardent expectation: "We study to obtain fame, not for our family, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and for the benefit of the people all over the world! The current Ming Dynasty is not the same as the early Ming Dynasty.

, we cannot have hundreds of thousands of refugees appearing every year, nor can we starve to death every year.

So many people! The reason why I want to fight with you is that I didn’t think about fighting for power at the beginning, but I wanted to support you in finding changes so that every person in Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment. If it’s because of my death now

, you focus on such trivial matters, who will save the people in the world?"

"My son-in-law will work for the benefit of the people of the world, but your business... is not about trivial matters!" Lin Haoran nodded at first, and then responded seriously.

In the past, he might have still held many illusions. But when he saw Wu Shan lying on the bed with blood from all his orifices, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on him, and he immediately understood a lot.

Wu Shan shook his head firmly and said: "I die without complaint, and you should have guessed that this is actually my choice! It's just that I can't let go of this court, nor the displaced people. This is my last long-cherished wish

,Aren’t you willing to let me go in peace?”

At this point, it was already irresistible, not to mention that the dead should be the most important thing in everything, not to mention that this was his mentor and father-in-law.

Lin Haoran saw blood gushing out of Wu Shan's eyes and nose, but he responded with a sad smile: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law promises you, but my son-in-law wants to know whether you are concerned about the hundreds of thousands of people who are displaced every year, or the hundreds of thousands of people who are displaced every year.

Worrying about the future of our Ming Dynasty!"

The rainstorm continued to rage, as if it was crying for someone. The candles in the hall were swayed by the wind outside, and the burning places were crackling, filling the whole world with a kind of depression.

Wow……
