Chapter 149: When happiness and sorrow come, there is a clear sense of ups and downs!
Yuan Gong sat down.
His clothes are very elegant, exuding an aura of dust.
Xia Zhibai looked at Yuan Gong, and Yuan Gong also looked at Xia Zhibai. The two looked at each other for a long time.
Xia Zhibai cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Yuan."
Yuan Gong shook his head and said: "I really don't dare to take the word master seriously, especially in front of you."
Xia Zhibai laughed and took the initiative to pour a cup of herbal tea for Yuan Gong: "Master Yuan is famous, and there are countless scholar-bureaucrats in the world. I want to meet you, and I want you to meet him. I was so disrespectful just now in Prince Yan's Mansion."
"Please forgive me, Master."
Yuan Gong picked up the tea bowl and said calmly. : "I am not from Prince Yan's Mansion."
"I also resigned from Prince Yan."
Hear the words.
Xia Zhibai's eyes moved slightly, with a bit of strange color.
He had heard about Yuan Gong, but he didn't know much about it.
When he was in the military camp, Zhu Di respected Yuan Gong very much. He thought that Yuan Gong had defected to Zhu Di, but he never thought that he had guessed wrong.
"The King of Yan treated me well and respected me. It's just that I was burdened by my false reputation and didn't like to get involved in these incidents, so I took the initiative to resign." Yuan Gong explained briefly.
Xia Zhibai nodded.
The fortune teller is indeed good at protecting oneself wisely.
Although the current King Yan has a good status, his strength is not enough.
It is also difficult to protect Yuan Gong.
In addition, if Yuan Gong's existence is known to people in Kyoto, it will cause some trouble for Zhu Di. After weighing the pros and cons, it is indeed most appropriate to let Yuan Gong leave.
But those who can resist this temptation are indeed extraordinary.
Xia Zhibai nodded and said: "Leaving is indeed a good choice. It can not only save yourself, but also reduce the trouble for King Yan."
Yuan Gong smiled and said: "This is not important. "
"Compared to King Yan, I am more interested in you now."
"Oh." Disciple, how can I get into the Master’s eyes?”
"Are you crazy? I don't think so." Yuan Gong glanced at Xia Zhibai, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and said calmly: "I think you have a dragon and a tiger in your heart, even stronger than the dragon and tiger. I I looked at you yesterday, and your face was "
"Wang Emperor!"
Finished.
Yuan Gong stared at Xia Zhibai.
It seems that he wants to see some clues from Xia Zhibai's face.
However, Xia Zhibai's face was calm, as if he was not moved at all. He just chewed the word Wangdi and said with a wry smile: "Wangdi from the ancient Shu Kingdom? It is indeed consistent. After all, Wangdi's love for the cuckoo is benevolent and righteous. Love for the people."
"But after all, it has the character of emperor attached to it." Yuan Gong seemed unwilling to relax.
"Emperor?" , but later he realized that his talent was insufficient, and he gave up long ago."
Yuan Gong's eyes were uncertain, and he finally took it back.
He looked around and had some words on his lips, but finally fell silent.
The two of them lowered their heads and drank tea.
After finishing the two pots of herbal tea, Xia Zhibai paid the bill, and the three of them left the herbal tea shop.
The summer is hot.
The chirping of cicadas in the jungle is even more harsh.
Xia Zhibai and Yuan Gong were walking side by side in the forest near the river.
Hei Wa wisely went outside, wary of other people disturbing him.
It went on in parallel for a while.
Yuan Gong still couldn't hold it back. He stopped, stared straight at Xia Zhibai, and asked: "You have never thought about rebellion?"
"You My heart is so big that the whole world cannot accommodate you.”
"If you want to display your talents and show your ambitions, you need a lot of support."
Xia Zhibai was silent.
A long while.
Xia Zhibaicai raised his head, looked at the sparkling water, and said lightly: "I thought about it, and even seriously planned it, but gave up."
"Why?" Yuan Gong A look of curiosity.
Xia Zhibai smiled and said: "Master's thinking about rebellion is too simple."
"Rebellion needs the right time, place and people to succeed. It cannot be done by just a hot head."
“In today’s world, there is insufficient internal and external pressure.”
“If the world was in chaos, I would definitely rebel, but now, it doesn’t make much sense.”
"Rebellion and self-reliance may seem wonderful, but when Master walks around the world, he has seen all kinds of people in the world."
"We should also see the stubborn diseases in the world."
"This is a disease that has persisted for hundreds of years since the Yuan Dynasty."
"The world is conservative and closed."
"I think To reverse this situation, it is not enough to rely on one person’s efforts.”
“It is necessary to cultivate a large number of people.”
"These people are the vanguard of change in the world. These people must have political foresight. These people must be full of the spirit of struggle and sacrifice. These people must be open-minded, loyal and active in politics. They must not seek personal gain and have the only purpose. Just fight for the world."
"But Master has already seen it when he was in Prince Yan's palace or walking around the world.""This kind of person is almost impossible to find."
“Today’s world is very divided between top and bottom.”
“Study is to become an official, and becoming an official is to make a fortune.”
"This kind of society full of 'slavishness' has been popular in the world since the Yuan Dynasty."
"The Yuan Dynasty despised the 'people' and valued the 'scholars'. Under the governance of the Mongols, scholar-bureaucrats , landlords, and powerful people all oppress and exploit the bottom families for their own petty profits."
"They have long been accustomed to this kind of life."
"No. Those who are willing to change.”
“As for the people at the bottom, they also have little motivation.”
"In the past, the world had experienced wars for a long time, and the people were very war-weary. If we provoke war at this time, it would be difficult to gain the approval of the people."
"Secondly, after more than a hundred years of continuous suppression, the people People are very tolerant. Life is much better now than in the past. Although it is still difficult, they can still survive. They can endure it and accept it, so why should they rebel with you? "
"If the Mongolian army is still strong."
"The Central Plains is in danger of overthrowing, and the people are in dire straits."
"When such internal and external conditions are met, rebellion is the only way to The first choice, otherwise it will just increase the number of killings.”
"Even if you rebel, it is still very difficult to cultivate the people you want. You have to face various trade-offs of interests, and there will probably be many betrayals and betrayals. They join the rebellion just to dominate in the future. How can you be willing to rebel and remain the same as before?”
“The work of ideological transformation is long-term, patient, and meticulous. You cannot try to talk some big principles or make some mistakes by talking a few times. Exaggerating things will completely change the ideology formed by the people in the world for decades."
"This is unrealistic"
"It can't be done."
“One more thing, why do people believe me?”
"What does I, Xia Zhibai, have that the people can believe in?"
Xia Zhibai's heart is like a mirror.
Rebellion has been no longer a good option since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang is the person chosen by history to expel the Tartars and restore China. This is the mission given to Zhu Yuanzhang by history.
He also finished very well.
It’s just that Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed deeply harmed by the common people.
His vision was not broad, and he had been at the bottom of society for a long time, so he suffered the most severe "exploitation and oppression" thoughts. This kind of thought had penetrated deep into his bones. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to change, he eventually returned to the old path.
Xia Zhibai walked forward leisurely.
As he approached a corner, he stopped, looked back at Yuan Gong, and said, "Master, do you think the current Grand Master Li Shanchang has ever thought of replacing him?"
< br>Yuan Gong was stunned.
He never thought about this.
He pondered for a moment, glanced around, and quickly chased after him, saying: "What do you mean?"
"Yes! And there must be." Xia Zhibai answered firmly, and he sneered: "Not only do I know this, but His Majesty also knows it. It's just that compared to Hu Weiyong and others, Li Shanchang knows His Majesty better."
"He just doesn't dare!"
"If It is said that Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others are talents."
"Then your Majesty today seems to be not a person, but a cold sword."
"This sharp sword has gone through too many things."
"From the wind and rain in thatched cottage, to the lone lantern in Huangjue Temple, from the light and shadow of swords in Chuzhou, to the blazing flames of Poyang Lake, Today, His Majesty fought his way out of thousands of troops and stood up from the sea of blood. He has experienced too many hardships, endured too much pain, and is not afraid of any challenge or authority."
< br>"Not afraid of any opponent."
"In his lifetime, His Majesty has faced many heroes, but without exception, they all fell in front of him."
"Li Shanchang followed His Majesty all the way down."
"Li Shanchang understands the terror of this emperor all too well. This is why Li Shanchang never expressed any objections from the beginning to the end. It's not that he has no ambition, but because of fear."
"He is afraid!"
“It’s just that the dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon.”
“The commander-in-chief who was so righteous and ambitious died the moment he proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtian Mansion.”< br>
“As an emperor, he will not trust anyone.”
"Furthermore, this emperor still had a bit of 'inferiority' in his bones. Because of his background, he was afraid of being looked down upon by the scholars and also afraid of being deceived by these people. Therefore, he set up royal guards all over the world to carry out espionage activities and formulated various laws. A system of power and oppression.”
“What he wants is the world’s absolute obedience.”
“Your Majesty is obsessed with solving all problems through violence and authority.”
"But he forgot one person."
"A person who he hated so much in the past that even gave him trouble sleeping and eating."
"Who?" Yuan Gong asked.
"Chen Youliang." Xia Zhibai's voice was a bit sad.
"Chen Youliang?" Yuan Gong was surprised.
Xia Zhibai nodded: "When it comes to the competition between heroes at that time, the one who was most obsessed with violence and authority was Chen Youliang. His Majesty even laughed at Chen Youliang at that time, but over the years, His Majesty has become 'Chen Youliang' The second time.”
“Your Majesty has gradually forgotten it.”
"There are many things in this world that cannot be solved by violence and authority."
"Chen Youliang didn't understand this truth, so Chen Youliang failed. His Majesty has also forgotten it."
"Xing When all sorrow comes, there will be plenty of knowledge. "
"This is the law of heaven!"
