Qiming 1158

Chapter 1674

Su Yonglin's words were resounding, with a strong sense of indisputability.

Tian Guizi made a slip of the tongue for a long time because he hadn't heard Su Yonglin say such domineering words for a long time.

In his impression, unless it was a big purge, Su Yonglin had always been quite gentle, and would even encourage his subordinates to put forward various suggestions for his opinions, even if they were against him.

Therefore, during his reign, even when he was the emperor, the political atmosphere in Ming Dynasty was relatively relaxed and not tense.

Su Yonglin is not a radical most of the time, unless he believes that he must accomplish one thing, and this thing will inevitably encounter a lot of resistance.

Then he will become tougher and less obedient than ever before.

This is not the norm.

But this time, it seems to be such an abnormal state.

Therefore, it took Tian Guizi a while to understand Su Yonglin's intentions, and then squeezed out what he wanted to say from his throat.

"You really still want to take us all away."

"That's natural."

Su Yonglin smiled and said: "Guizi, I don't know if you have noticed, anyway, I have noticed that those of us who came from the founding era are too strong, not only in terms of power, but also in terms of momentum.

Latecomers, as well as newcomers who have passed the imperial examination, are often unable to maintain their attitude when facing us, or they cannot hold their heads up at all. Hitting it on the head.

Regardless of whether we and they admit it or not, everyone has already acquiesced that this country belongs to me and us. They are more like visitors later, and we are the real masters. Since ancient times, there is no reason to overwhelm the host Woolen cloth?
Even if some people want to steal the show, then the power in the hands of us masters, including the powerful deterrent force of the Ming army, is it just for people to watch without practical significance?
Obviously not. If latecomers want to do something, it is normal to be strongly resisted and confronted by the elderly. This is especially obvious in Shandong Province. "

Tian Guizi thought about it seriously, then nodded decisively.

"I have also noticed this situation, but I don't think it's a big deal. It seems quite normal. I don't think we seem to be that strong. Some newcomers don't know the heights of the world, so it's only natural to reprimand them."

Su Yonglin spread his hands.

"That's because I'm here, you're not so strong only under my suppression, but you are really very strong to the juniors, with a strong sense of oppression, this is not the first time I've seen this kind of situation, it's the norm.

This is not normal, this country was built by us, but this country should not be ours, this country belongs to all people, everyone is its master, there should be no distinction between subject and object, but no matter how much I emphasize, this fact The situation that exists is difficult to reverse.

In my opinion, we cannot artificially create a distinction between subject and object for a country. We cannot be like the feudal dynasties in the old era. In addition to the emperor, we have to create a bunch of nobles and turn the country into private ownership. This is not possible. The country is Public, not private.

But just as you can do nothing about our prestige, I have nothing to do with this actual distinction between subject and object, so at this critical moment, the only way I can think of is that you must follow me and not stay. "

Tian Guizi was silent for a while, then sighed deeply, and spoke slowly.

"I figured it out, I finally figured it out. In this matter, we can't stop your will, and we can't sing against you. Some of what you said are right, but some are wrong. You said we are also Master of the country, but I don't think so.

This country has one and only one master, and that is you, including us, either your servants or your guests, our power actually comes from you, and it is you who lift us up from poverty Yes, gave us everything.

I read history books and the founding stories of dynasties and dynasties, and found that many heroes have their own power. They often take their own power to join the emperor they fancy and help the emperor achieve great things. So the empire that was actually established is All of them.

But Daming is not, Daming is your own Daming, we people did not bring you any help, on the contrary, you saved us from the predicament of starvation and gave us everything, we are not your collaborators, Master of Daming, you are the only one. "

Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi for a while, smiled helplessly, and nodded.

"You can see it."

Tian Guizi also nodded.

"I can see it, so to put it bluntly, in your opinion, the current Ming Democratic Republic is just an appearance, and the inside is still the same empire, right?"

"Yes."

Su Yonglin nodded: "I realized a long time ago that as long as I live, the foundation of this country will not change. I have the power to change its appearance at any time. This is not what a republic should look like. This is an empire.

But this is not unchangeable, as long as I prepare everything, then from the moment I die, the Ming Democratic Republic will be a real democratic republic.

This is why I cannot allow my son to be in politics. If he does, then everyone will unnaturally regard him as my heir, as the second master of this country, and turn this country into the Su family , which is not acceptable to me.

Therefore, in order to truly establish the Ming Democratic Republic, all those who have followed me from the imperial era, and those who have my brand on them, must withdraw from the vortex of power with me, and everyone must be under my surveillance Never set foot in politics again, must come with me.

We have been preaching that the era of empire is over and will not come back, but people would not think that those of us who lead everyone to the era of democracy and republic are the real last remnants of the empire. This is another identity of us , indivisible. "

After Su Yonglin finished speaking, Tian Guizi seemed a little surprised.

After a while, he took a deep breath and seemed quite emotional.

"So, you want to take away our remnants at the end?"

Su Yonglin nodded.

"We are all remnants. Since I'm gone, you have to go too. Otherwise, how can I, the biggest remnant, suppress you little remnants? Without my suppression, wouldn't you still have to turn the world upside down? "

Tian Guizi was silent for a while, and then a calm smile appeared on his face.

He also seemed to understand a lot of things.

"Su Yonglin, you are really ruthless and cruel to the extreme. You are obviously a group of revolutionaries who followed you to the end, but you get such an evaluation. If I don't know what kind of person you are, I would really be chilled."

"Don't separate me from you, Guizi."

Su Yonglin froze for a moment, then laughed loudly: "It is because of my ruthlessness and cruelty that I say that I am the remnant of the empire, and you are also the remnant of the empire. Do you still doubt it?"

"I don't doubt you anymore, I am the remnant, and you, Su Yonglin, are the No. [-] remnant! If you live for as long as you live, the Ming Democratic Republic is in danger of being overthrown at any time!"

Tian Guizi gritted his teeth and pointed at Su Yonglin: "30 years, Su Yonglin, I have followed you for 30 years, and today, I really know you! You are a great chairman and the most despicable and ruthless single husband! You are a saint , is also a villain through and through!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Su Yonglin laughed wildly, holding his stomach and laughing so hard that he almost cramped, and it took him a long time to forcefully stop the crazy laugh.

"Guizi, did I hide that deeply? I don't think I have hidden it on purpose? I came from the age of empires, I was educated in the age of empires, I grew up in the quagmire of the age of empires, and I became enlightened. People describe this This kind of person is called out of the mud but not stained, is it true?
I don't think so, I grew up from the imperial age, I was educated in Confucianism, I doubted reflection and eventually denied it, new thoughts were born, but my undertones can never change, I have desires, it's just me Desires have been suppressed all the time.

Guizi, I want to be a real emperor, I want to be an autocratic monarch, I want to have 72 concubines in the Six Courts of Sangong, I want to indulge my life in wine pools and meat forests, I have thought about all these, in the sixth and seventh years of Hongwu , I can hardly control myself.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and you know what I dream about?I dreamed that I gave up restraining myself, I dreamed that I personally destroyed everything I created, the revival meeting, the Republic, Hongwu political theory, everything I did was destroyed by me.

Then I became the emperor, the real emperor, I became a real iron-blooded husband, I had the 72 concubines of the Sixth Court of the Sangong, I also opened a talent show, recruited all the beauties from all over the world to enjoy myself, and built a real wine pond and meat forest in the palace, Drinking and eating meat every day, wanton lust!
Do you know how happy I am in my dream?That wanton feeling, that feeling of being on top, and I woke up and my whole body was shaking, that shaking of excitement, you know? "

Looking at the excited and even crazy Su Yonglin, Tian Guizi was stunned for a while, then tears welled up in his eyes, and then developed into howling.

"why are you crying?"

Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi in surprise.

"I cry that our ideal is just a bubble after all!"

"why?"

Su Yonglin was still astonished.

Tian Guizi kept wiping away his tears.

"Even you who are most like a saint have such crazy desires, let alone other people? You who are most like a saint can have such a crazy side. If you are someone else, the sage is definitely not as good as you, but the desire is chasing you !"

At this moment, all the excitement and madness in Su Yonglin's body disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Su Yonglin, who was so calm that he didn't seem like a real person, came back again.

He was silent for a long time, sighed, and took out a towel to wipe Tian Guizi's tears.

"Guizi, do you believe in our ideal?"

"I believed it just now, but I don't believe it now."

"I still believe, I believed in it just now, and now I am even more convinced that our ideal will definitely become a reality."

"why?"

Now Tian Guizi, who was wiping away his tears, looked at Su Yonglin in surprise.

"Because even a person like me can have such a saintly side, let alone those who are far less despicable and ruthless than me?"

Su Yonglin smiled and put his hand on Tian Guizi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "The most terrifying desire you can think of exists in my body, and the greatest emancipatory thought you can think of is also in my body Existence, Guizi, is our ideal really just a bubble?

Everyone has a sage side, everyone has a huge possibility to act for our ideals, everyone has the possibility, everyone is the hope of the future, and Ming Dynasty has nearly [-] million hopes! "

"In this way, aren't we going to be entangled to death?"

Tian Guizi burst out laughing, wiped away his tears, and said, "Why do you always think about things from such a strange angle? It's obviously such a desperate thing. After you disturb me, I don't feel so hopeless." Now, isn't it pointless for me to cry just now?"

"Why is it meaningless? You just acted as my trash can and listened to my desires."

Su Yonglin smiled and said: "You helped me share part of the pressure of desire on me, then in the next 20 years, I will be able to bear the burden of desire more easily, and then we, the remnants of the empire, will die in 20 years. We can get out of here together, can't we?"

"To put it lightly, you might be a complete jerk 20 years from now. I really don't dare to think about what you will do then."

Tian Guizi gave Su Yonglin a blank look: "You can think about such horrible things now, who knows what you will think about 20 years from now?"

"Then if I can't control it anymore, you will kill me."

Su Yonglin spread his hands: "I can give half of the Huben Guard to your command. If I go crazy, you will kill me. If you go crazy, I will kill you. How about it?"

Tian Guizi was stunned for a while, looking up and down Su Yonglin carefully.

"Aren't you crazy already?"

"Maybe I've been a lunatic all along."

Su Yonglin leaned on the backrest and relaxed her whole body: "I don't want to live a luxurious official life, I don't want to live a life of three wives and four concubines, I don't want to live a life where I can bully men and women at will, but I must liberate the world , must make a revolution.

Thinking about it now, it’s okay to be a local tyrant who bullies men and women. At least without me, the good days of the local tyrant and evil gentry are far from over. They could have continued to dominate for hundreds of years, but because of me The difference of thought ended early, so you didn't wrong me when you said I was a lunatic. "

"You really have gone crazy."

Tian Guizi nodded firmly, and then laughed again.

Su Yonglin turned her head to look at him.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing, I might be a lunatic myself."

Tian Guizi laughed and said: "It's obviously a very groundless thing, but I have been with you all the way until now, restraining myself so much that I don't even look like a human being. If you say you are a lunatic, then I understand you like this." Aren’t I just a lunatic?”

"It makes sense. The two of us may be lunatics. We came here all the way, and we actually created a Ming Democratic Republic!"

Su Yonglin laughed loudly: "If this is said or recorded in the history books, who will believe it? After seeing it, wouldn't everyone go crazy? Hahahahahaha!"

Tian Guizi also laughed along with Su Yonglin, and the two of them laughed into emojis, and they had to stop their wild laughter until their stomach hurt from laughing.

After resting for a while, Su Yonglin, who was half lying on the recliner, reached out and poked Tian Guizi's hand.

"You said just now that you restrained yourself like a person. What have you restrained? Tell me about it?"

Tian Guizi gave Su Yonglin a blank look.

"Except for the public draft, I have basically thought about everything else. I also want a lot of women and a lot of money. I want to do whatever I want. I want to eat whatever I want, play whatever I want, and be extravagant. Like those scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, they were drunk and dreamed of death."

"Well, you still talk about me, don't you get any better?"

Su Yonglin rolled his eyes back at him, then thought for a while, and slowly said: "But speaking of it this way, we look like human beings now, maybe everyone is trying to restrain their desires behind the scenes, um, None of them are good, they are all crazy."

"It's not a lunatic, who can fight against the Kingdom of Jin with you?"

Tian Guizi smiled and said: "More than 2 people dare to challenge Jin Guo, which has an army of more than 40. This is not called bravery. It is really called madman. Bravery is not enough to describe it. This is beyond the upper limit of bravery. It is madman. Crazy lunatic!"

"That's right, so everyone is a bunch of lunatics, lunatics who put life and death aside."

Su Yonglin's complexion gradually calmed down, and his voice gradually became weaker.

Tian Guizi was also quiet for a while.

Then he opened his mouth slowly.

"Chairman, let me guess, the successor you have chosen should be Xin Qiji?"

"How did you guess that?"

"I felt vaguely strange at the time."

Tian Guizi sighed, and said slowly: "Xin Qiji is the second in command of the national military, the second in command of the country's million regular army, and to destroy a small overseas country, Su Jue alone and one corps are enough, why use the second in command?

Moreover, if the military prestige of the second in command is very high, if it reaches a certain level, it is not a good thing for you, nor is it something to be happy about for Ming. I don't want to see two people fighting for power.

Now there is no doubt at all, you let Xin Qiji go out, but to accumulate some military prestige for him, let those arrogant soldiers fight under his command, and get acquainted with the soldiers under his command I feel that there will be no such resistance in the future.

Back then, I remembered that Zhang Yuejing had cooperated with him, Han Jinggui had also cooperated with him, and now Su Jue has also cooperated with him. When Su Haisheng fought in the Western Regions, he was in charge of the overall situation. Among the five tiger generals, four of them have already been related to him. , coupled with the prestige and qualifications he has accumulated in the staff headquarters, he is barely qualified. "

"Yes."

Su Yonglin nodded slightly: "You'an is my favorite successor. I think that after ten years, I will hand over this position to him and let him be the chairman of the executive committee. After another ten years, I will take you with me." Let's go, leave all the seats vacant, and hand them over to the latecomers."

Tian Guizi was silent for a while.

"Why him?"

Su Yonglin hooked the corner of his mouth.

"Why, you also want to be the chairman?"

"It would be a lie to say that I don't want to, but I also know that I don't have that ability."

Tian Guizi sighed and said: "Without military talent, I can't hold back those arrogant soldiers. If I become the chairman, I'm afraid there will be trouble. It's a pity, it's a pity, if I have some military talent, I can lead troops to fight If you win the battle, maybe I can also be the chairman.”

"Very important, as you say, is military talent."

Su Yonglin nodded and said: "Without military talent and military prestige, at least in the founding era, a leader without military prestige would not be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers who founded the country. They have contributed too much and are too proud. Someone needs to suppress them .

When the era of the founding of the country is over, too many powerful military personnel will no longer exist, and once in a while, it doesn't matter. At that time, excellent military capabilities and military prestige will be a plus for leaders, not an inevitable choice.

The Ming Dynasty has a professional army, a professional staff department, and a mature military command system. The leader only needs to have common sense. But in the founding era, military capabilities and military prestige must be real. You son, you were born at a bad time. "

Tian Guizi smiled wryly.

"It can't be considered untimely, half and half. If I hadn't met you, how could I turn myself into the vice chairman of the executive committee? Don't even think about it. I understand this myself. I just envy Xin Qiji. He It's time to catch up."

"Actually, I chose him not only because of his military talent."

Su Yonglin said slowly: "Compared with you, You'an has a special advantage."

"what?"

"He took his own life."

Su Yonglin pointed to himself: "I also took my own life first, and then I led everyone to take the lives of others, Guizi, there is a difference between those who have taken their own lives and those who have not. It feels much worse.

You'an's background is similar to mine, he was from an official family in the Jin Dynasty, and I was from an official family in the Southern Song Dynasty. His grandfather was a governor of Kaifeng Mansion, and his official position was higher than my grandfather's, so the family business he abandoned back then was even more important. above my home.

He abandoned all of these, land, house, property, servants, all gave up, leaving only one ancestral house to worship the ancestors, so resolutely following the revolution, You'an's will and identification with the revolution far surpassed those who did not pay anything stuff people. "

"Are you talking about me?"

Tian Guizi pointed at himself dissatisfied: "I haven't paid anything? I have paid a lot, okay?"

"Of course not, you also risked your life."

Su Yonglin smiled: "But the kind of resoluteness to throw away all the hard-to-get things that you once owned, is completely different from ordinary people after you own it. You'an, he has sublimated once."

"It's a pity that I don't have a great grandfather or father."

Tian Guizi smiled wryly, "Slow one step, slow step by step."

"That's not necessarily true. There are quite a few people with powerful fathers and grandfathers, but there is only one Xin Qiji."

Su Yonglin pointed to himself: "It mainly depends on one's own awareness. Once the awareness is produced, it will be produced. If it cannot be produced, then it will not be produced. It has nothing to do with anything. Guizi, I hope you can understand me and support me."

Tian Guizi was silent for a while, then closed his eyes.

"it is good."

"Thank you."

Su Yonglin stretched out his hand and took Tian Guizi's hand for a long time.

The hand was warm, not cold.
