Chapter 19 Villager Xia Zhibai meets Emperor Hongwu!
Xia Zhibai glanced at the eunuch who was frightened and panicked. He still faced the eunuch with his waist straight, but bowed slightly and held his hand.
"Village man Xia Zhibai met Emperor Hongwu."
As soon as the words fell, the whole palace was silent.
Not only Pu Gouer, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned, but Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting on the high platform was also stunned.
Xia Zhibai was full of hostility towards him, and he would speak harshly to him when he entered the palace. He had expected it, but this title made him stunned.
Pu Gou'er felt his eyes go dark, and he almost fell to the ground. His face turned pale with fright, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
He looked at Xia Zhibai in fear, angry, anxious, frightened, and whispered: "How dare you, a criminal, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
"Kneel down quickly! "My Majesty, please forgive me."
Pu Gou'er looked anxious. Xia Zhibai was getting dressed in front of him. He thought Xia Zhibai knew some etiquette, but he was so arrogant when he entered the palace.
This is clearly a wish for death.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Xia Zhibai for the first time. His eyes were slightly closed, and a cold light burst out from his eyes. He said in a cold voice: "When you see us, why don't you kneel down!"< br>
Xia Zhibai groaned.
I just felt like I was being stared at by a ferocious beast. The hairs all over my body were trembling. It was more like a huge boulder was pressing on my chest. It was a little uncomfortable to breathe.
Xia Zhibai gripped the ground hard with his toes to try to stay calm. Faced with a person in a high position like Zhu Yuanzhang, it is actually difficult for ordinary people to calm down.
In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and his aura was even more frightening. An ordinary person would be frightened into speechlessness just by standing in front of him.
Captivating.
Xia Zhibai took a deep breath and kept recalling a hundred years of humiliation in his mind. He finally recovered. He raised his head, his eyes shining like stars.
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also looking at him. The two were looking at each other a hundred steps apart.
Xia Zhibai said: "Why do you have to kneel?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, but his smile was very cold, "Because we are the emperor, the lord of the world, and the father of the people in the world."
"Shouldn't you kneel to me?"
< br>"Father?" Then I dare to ask Your Majesty, whether every citizen of the Ming Dynasty is qualified to inherit the world of the Ming Dynasty."
"Presumptuous!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly and glared at Xia Zhibai with eyes full of murderous intent.
Xia Zhibai sneered and said calmly: "Judging from His Majesty's reaction, no."
"This is Your Majesty's home world."
"This family can only be your Majesty's Zhu family, not the country that the people of the world think of. In this case, how can your majesty be the king and father of the people of the world?"
"Also."
"If kneeling was useful, there would be no need to change dynasties in the world. The world would have been at peace long ago. Your Majesty rose from humble beginnings and became an emperor."
"He has experienced that period of troubled times."
“At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in depression, the Yellow River burst, there was a severe drought in the south, and the people were displaced. It was common at that time to change their children and eat.”
“At that time, in order to pray for rain, for the rain to fall from the sky , there are also people who pray for good weather and good weather. Were there not many people kneeling down at that time? "
"And the heaven and earth really rained down, so that the world had good weather and good weather, so that the people could have children? "
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes slightly, suppressing the anger in his heart, "That's why Yuan lost the world, so we can rise from the bottom and dominate the world. This proves that we are destined by destiny, and we are a well-deserved True Dragon of destiny."
Xia Zhibai smiled, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said: "Your Majesty, do you believe this?"
"If God really knows, how can he use human hands to fake it? If your majesty really thought that he was a man of destiny and a so-called true dragon of destiny, how could he be so guarded against the world after the founding of the country? "
"Your majesty actually knows it."
" There is no destiny. You conquered this world entirely by your own ability. ""If your Majesty truly believed in your destiny, you would not talk about how much the world is worth to you. ”
"But he keeps saying that he is the one destined by destiny."
"Your Majesty actually knows very well that the so-called destiny is that whoever has the big fist is right."
" Your Majesty won in the end, so your Majesty is destiny. If others win in the end, others are destiny. "
"But this destiny is actually the winner's order to consolidate the legitimacy of his regime and establish himself. Prestige among the subjects”
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.
He looked Xia Zhibai up and down, a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes. What Xia Zhibai said made Zhu Yuanzhang feel uneasy.
Some things cannot be said.
Xia Zhibai's words have threatened the legitimacy and authority of the imperial power. If others question it, the Ming Dynasty may be shaken.
"You really don't kneel down!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became extremely cold, as if he wanted to eat people, and he also insisted on asking Xia Zhibai to kneel down.
Xia Zhibai shook his head with a firm attitude.
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "Do you think you can stop kneeling if you don't kneel?"
"In front of us, you can't help it."
"Come here."
"Break his legs. We want him to kneel for us from now on. Don't you want to kneel? Then I will let you kneel for the rest of your life."
"Not only do we want you to kneel, we also want your three, nine, descendants and grandchildren to kneel for us."
A look of cruelty flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. He hated people who disobeyed him. Who would dare? If you disobey him, he will definitely come back with double the blow.
Xia Zhibai looked unafraid.
From the moment he came to Ming Dynasty, he put life and death behind him. If he was afraid of death, he would not try to write a counter-essay at the meeting, let alone contradict Zhu Yuanzhang face to face.
Xia Zhibai said: "If Your Majesty insists on making me kneel down, there are countless ways, and I, Xia Zhibai, can't resist."
"I won't sting your eyes."
"I will suffer the punishment myself."
"But before I die, I also kindly remind Your Majesty that it is easy to make people kneel down. , just when a person with conscience, integrity, blood and pursuit is forced to kneel by the power."
"This person is already dead!"
"And kneel. What is important is not the dignity, but the character that the subjects of the Ming Dynasty should have.”
"Instead, just like those officials in the Ming Dynasty today, they are willing to humble themselves and serve as domestic slaves."
"The backbone of the Ming Dynasty has been broken since then."
"At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Shang Shang There are many Jinshi who have died for the Ming Dynasty. I would like to ask Your Majesty, given the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, if it really comes to the end of the dynasty, how many people will die for the Ming Dynasty, and how many people are willing to die for the Ming Dynasty? "
" If the water is too cold and the scalp is itchy, I am afraid that Ming Dynasty will die faster. After all, we are all slaves. Being a slave is not a slave, and kneeling to someone is not kneeling."
"And all of this? It’s all your fault.”
"Literati do not have the spirit of a scholar, officials do not have the deeds of officials, and those who serve as kings do not have the consciousness to be emperors."
"What is good at the top will be worse at the bottom!"
"The capital of emperors He is a selfish person who regards the officials as long-term workers and the people as domestic slaves. The officials will only go further and regard the people as livestock. "
"Ming will be destroyed by the civil uprising! "
"Because you, Emperor Hongwu, don't want others to be human beings. You just want the world to be your slaves and slaves to your Zhu family from generation to generation. "
Just two today
