Chapter 26: One day and one month will bring clarity!
"If you gain the right way, you will get many help, but if you lose the right way, you will get little help."
"Whoever the people help will win."
"One lamp burns thousands of lamps, and all the dark ones will be enlightened. Endless!”
“This is the path of Ming Dynasty”
Zhu Biao's eyes went blank, and these words kept echoing in his mind, like Huang Zhongda Lu, which had a huge impact on his mind.
It took a long time to recover.
Xia Zhibai stood tall, looking at the magnificent palace in front of him in confusion, with a look of relief and ease on his face.
He could have done otherwise.
It’s just that he has seen the light before, and that light was too dazzling. Under that light, he could no longer compromise on any career in reality. It was as if following that ray of sunshine had become his destiny. The grandest joy.
a long time.
Zhu Biao came back to his senses, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.
He really wanted to say something, but any words he said at the moment were blank, and it was difficult to shake any of Xia Zhibai's thoughts and determination.
“Aren’t you afraid of death?” Zhu Biao sighed.
"Afraid!" Xia Zhibai said it directly without any hesitation.
Zhu Biao was startled and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Since you are afraid of death, why do you want to die?"
"What you said will never fall into the ears of any emperor in the past dynasties. If someone lets you go, you will die. Why do you have to tell these things? Can't you keep them in your heart? "
"Why?"
He urgently wanted to know the reason.
Xia Zhibai looked at Zhu Biao, with a smile on his face, and nodded: "I don't have to say it, I can even continue to complete the imperial examination, become a Jinshi with excellent results, and then rely on Use your own efforts to change some of the current situation at the bottom.”
"I can do all of these."
"I have thought about it too."
"I have even thought about bending down, like a eunuch in the palace, begging for mercy from the powerful, just for the sake of Gaining fame and wealth in this world, I have tried to convince myself countless times that only by surviving can I have a tomorrow."
"But in the end"
"I still failed to convince. myself.”
"To do great things, you will either succeed or fail."
"There is no in-between."
"If I am complacent today, I can continue to lie to myself tomorrow and continue to be complacent, day after day." Maybe one day, I, Xia Zhibai, will be able to walk out of this palace alive, but I will never be able to walk out of this world again."
"From that day on, I chose to live in peace. Xia Zhibai is already dead."
"The so-called career achieved in the rest of my life is just a few wisps of smoke rising after the flame is extinguished."
“Let’s leave tomorrow’s things to tomorrow’s people.”
“What I have to do today, and the only thing I can do, is to go to charity generously and tell the world that my blood is not cold yet. I always believe that the people in this land always have the most sincere and simple emotions and deserve to be treated favorably."
"There will eventually be a group of people in this world who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country and the people. People with lofty ideals who shed their blood."
"Heroes are never lonely, and their original intentions remain in the world."
"I may not be the one who fails."
"These scholars of the Ming Dynasty may become beasts and sanctimonious people in the future, but before they became officials, they may not have had an innocent heart. , but the world they are loyal to does not need that innocent heart."
"They can only compromise and become beasts."
"Your father is wary of the appearance of a second one in the world. Zhu Yuanzhang is right.”
“Only he knows how shocking, how inspiring and how great the ‘Zhu Yuanzhang’ before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, or the ‘Zhu Chongba’ at that time. The world is looking forward to it.”
"Ming is a good word." "The sun and the moon are bright."
"Your father was once a man with a world-wide mind and lofty ambitions. However, after the founding of the country, his vision changed. The people can no longer be seen here, nor can the hands of the people at the bottom trying to lift him up."
"His eyes are in the sky."
"He keeps saying he loves the people. Keep talking about thinking about the people.”
"When the people at the bottom personally raised him to a high position, sat on the throne, and asked him to fulfill his promise, your father suddenly changed and turned into a more vicious dictator than the corrupt officials he killed. He exploited cruelly Squeeze the bottom and regard yourself as the sun that shines on all living beings. "
"Always represents fairness and sunshine."
"It has become a word of kindness. A fig leaf for evil.”
“It has become a fig leaf for pursuing one’s own selfish interests and enjoying privileges.”
"It has become a fig leaf for being arbitrary, self-willed, and unwilling to make progress."
"He compared himself to the sun."
"But he forgot that Ming Dynasty is the sun and the moon. ”
“The sun is not enough”
“The sun’s rays are too strong and one day it will bake the earth into charcoal.”
"At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the hell on earth will appear again in the world. At that time, people will look for another 'Zhu Yuanzhang' to lead them forward, but the 'Zhu Yuanzhang' at that time will no longer be the 'Hongwu Emperor' The same Zhu Yuanzhang."
"The world doesn't need such a person."
"Ming" Zhu Biao's mouth moved slightly, with a hint of fear and confusion in his eyes. A bit nostalgic and sad.
He thought of a lot.
Especially a lot of old memories.
His memory of that time was somewhat hazy.
But I still vaguely remember that every time my father came back from the war, the people would come out of the city to greet him, and they would always welcome him in the street. At that time, my father would also talk enthusiastically to the local people, and sometimes he would even say something when he was overjoyed. Will brag about his bravery to some common people.
Just as the father's authority gradually increased.
This scene is gone.
There will still be people to greet him, but his father will always be accompanied by a large number of guards and soldiers, and sometimes they will even clear the place deliberately. It is rare that ordinary people can go to his father and say something to him. Just a few words.
Zhu Biao bit his lip, his eyes a little lonely and bitter.
From that time on, my father’s light became more and more powerful, brighter and brighter, and also became more and more difficult for people to approach.
But the person who replaced my father at that time was none other than my mother.
When my father was on foreign expeditions and going through life and death, it was my mother who comforted the rear, mingled with the local people, and tried to appease local sentiments. She also often advised my father to restrain his temper and calmed down troubles.
Zhu Yuanzhang is the sun and Ma Xiuying is the month.
One yin and one yang become light.
But with the death of the queen, the scabbard wrapping the bloody blade of the father disappeared.
The scorching light of the father completely shines down, radiating in all directions, but without the mother's generosity, without the mother restraining the father's edge, the father's light is too piercing for the world.
"Ming."
"Ming. Father, Queen and Mother"
Zhu Biao gave a bitter smile and bowed respectfully to Xia Zhibai: "Thank you, sir, for clarifying Zhu Biao's doubts. Zhu Biao understands."
Xia Zhibai nodded, shook his head again, and replied to Zhu Biao After bowing, he walked towards Mao Xiang, who had been waiting for him for a long time not far below.
It's time for him to hit the road.
