No one answered Sakamoto Ryoma's question, because no one could refute his reasoning. Human civilization has thousands of years of history, and the rise and fall of countries and nations are all accompanied by the struggle between private interests and public interests.
If a nation begins to expand its public interests at a certain stage, it will inevitably be aggressive and expansionary at this stage. This character may be reflected in wars or in large-scale projects that benefit all people. and scientific research.
During this period, it is easier for the country to do great things, but the happiness of the people will decrease. To give a simple example, the world says that Han Wu’s expedition to Mobei in the Western Regions opened up the living space of the Han nation, and they were very happy watching the victory in each war.
However, under the victory after victory, hundreds of millions of people have been drained of their wealth. They are still unable to fill their stomachs despite the good years. The happiness of the small people has been squeezed to the extreme.
This is a kind of damage to private interests caused by too strong public interests. But if private interests are too strong, is it necessarily a good thing? The Song Dynasty was a typical policy of weakening the emperor and strengthening the people. After the wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Song Dynasty gave civilian officials an absolutely respected status.
The landlord class corresponding to the civil servants rose up to replace the powerful families in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At that time, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were unable to expand the Bianjing Imperial City because they were controlled by ancestral family laws and were prohibited from taking profits from the people. , even the civilian areas close to the imperial city did not dare to be demolished.
It was an era of vigorous development of secular culture. The prosperity of the people was a miracle in the Middle Ages. Before the Industrial Revolution, in all human empires, no one was richer than the Song Dynasty.
However, the Song Dynasty was indeed the most prosperous but weakest period in Chinese history. In the end, the Song Dynasty ended up being destroyed by barbarians, and its countless wealth became the spoils of the barbarians.
At that time, let alone the happiness of the common people, but the common people no longer even have the right to survive. No matter you are a prince, aristocrat or a landowner or a commoner, you will all become slaves of the Mongols at that time.
The conflict between public interests and private interests has lasted for thousands of years and will continue to last for countless more years. This is an unsolvable problem. As long as human society exists, this conflict will exist forever.
Just like the pendulum of time, it swings back and forth between two nodes. This pendulum will not stop until the end of mankind.
"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian laughed. He suddenly laughed wildly. Tears of laughter flowed out in the silent hall. The people around him were dizzy when he saw it, and their hearts palpitated when they heard it.
Xinjing was crying, smiling, but his heart was bleeding. He lamented that he had finally reached this point. Like all emperors, generals, ministers, and politicians, he finally started using human lives as pawns.
Ever since the day he traveled through time, he had a fear in his heart, which accompanied him through countless sleepless nights and countless hangovers.
Xiao Letian knew very well what kind of path he was taking, and he even knew what difficult choices he would encounter in the future. It's not how powerful the enemy is, but whether Xiao Letian himself can defeat his inner demons.
He understood that as his power grew larger and larger, and when he finally had to compete with the great powers, difficult choices would inevitably arise.
The chessboard for devouring human lives has been laid out. Do you, Xiao Letian, dare to sit down and make a move? Xiao Letian seemed to see the souls of countless famous politicians, military strategists, and revolutionaries flying in the void.
The huge world map is a chessboard for conquest, and each chess piece is a mortal soul bound by evil fate. They are placed in different positions on the map, twisting and struggling to escape the fate they are driven to, but there is nothing they can do.
The Queen of England is smiling in the west, the French Emperor is watching with cold eyes, Prussian Bismarck is raising his hand to invite Xiao Letian to join the game, and the Tsar is glaring with a knife...
"The chess game has been set. Are you, Xiao Letian, going to join the game? Are you going to play this game? If you don't want to play it, replace it quickly, or you don't want to play chess players in East Asia. Wouldn't it be nice to let us control it with peace of mind?" "
"Come or not... The end will not end... Come or not..."
A voice like a curse echoed in Xiao Letian's ears. Looking at both sides of the Bailayi River in Borneo, South Asia, the chess pieces in the settlement area were already dripping with blood and chopped into pieces. Although the surrounding Chinese chess pieces were desperately replenishing them, In the past, those ten thousand innocent souls are flying and circling on the chessboard.
"We don't want to die... Why should we die... Why should we sacrifice our lives for the benefit of others? Please, you are the god of the Chinese nation, you are the founder of the Chinese nation... Please let us live Come on, let us live..."
"That's enough!" Xiao Letian suddenly shouted loudly and passed through this illusion.
Xiao Letian, who regained his composure, shook his head and looked at Lin Zhen, Cai Bixia and others and asked, "What do you want? Is it illusory fairness and justice, or is it the war that cannot be avoided?"
"I know that the deaths of those 10,000 people were unjust, and the instigator of this incident was Sakamoto Ryoma, but as the current leader of the Chinese nation, I must be responsible. This is a responsibility that I cannot escape... In this position, I You must bear such a reputation!"
"Today's matter, I declare it as top secret! It cannot be made public for the time being. How should it be resolved specifically? I will hold a high-level secret meeting for consultation after this battle is over... Of course, the premise is that we can still win by then. If we fail, Then let’s all go find the Lord of Hell and talk about cause and effect!”
"Even after victory, I, Xiao Letian, will not avoid this issue. I will resign as prime minister at that time... I'm sorry, I don't want to play this game of chess!"
"What?" Everyone was in an uproar. Wang Huaiyuan grabbed Xiao Letian's hand and shouted, "Prime Minister, you can't be so depressed. Everyone's doubts are not directed at you. Although Bai Layi was a tragedy, everyone understands that this is also leading to victory. A necessary sacrifice..."
"Cai Bixia and the others are just people with a temporary mentality. They are not forcing the Prime Minister to abdicate. Please think twice and give them a chance... They are still young and cannot afford such a crime. If the Chinese know that they forced the Prime Minister to abdicate, they will not survive. Go down...cough cough cough..."
Wang Huaiyuan began to cough violently again, while Cai Bixia, Lin Zhen and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale. No one expected that Xiao Letian would say the word "abdicate" after a few words of anger.
"We're not... we really didn't mean that..." Cai Bixia was forced to cry at that time, while Lin Zhen knelt on the ground without even daring to breathe.
The entire hall was in chaos, but only one person was smiling, and that person was Ryoma Sakamoto. This man with Xiao Letian's blood flowing in his veins was actually the person who understood Xiao Letian best in the world.
"Prime Minister...are you scared? That terrible human-blood chess game...you don't want to play it anymore? Hahaha, you have to defeat this inner demon on your own!"
