This is the first time that Xiao Letian talks about his past life and that weird world with people in this world.
I don’t know how it happened! At this moment, Xiao Letian suddenly felt that his previous life was so familiar and ridiculous.
There are skewers of unknown meat on the street, large glasses of draft beer, the dark little internet cafe is bustling with people, and the people in the karaoke room are roaring at the top of their lungs!
The melodious sound of guitar in Houhai Bar and the ambiguous atmosphere flowing in the air. People in the disco are wildly releasing their hormones. In the exciting rhythm, everyone is dancing like devils!
TV news is constantly broadcasting gossips about celebrities around the world! The military channel desperately introduced various weapons and their efficient killing power.
In that world with nuclear weapons, people only need to move their fingers to destroy the entire human world!
In that era when economists filled the front lines of the media, each natural person was just a small base number on the national statistical table!
It was the best of times, but it was also the worst of times!
…
It is strange to say that Xiao Letian has almost forgotten the past years in just a few years since he time traveled, and he does not have too much nostalgia.
On the contrary, in this world now, he has the most emotions and is the most real!
Sima Yun heard a hint of sadness in Xiao Letian's tone. Maybe he felt that the head of state was homesick, thinking about his home in the sky.
But how did he know that Xiao Letian was just sad! Because he saw the future of mankind, and he did not think that that future was the best!
"Sima Yun, do you know? There is actually nothing good in the sky. In that world, a single gunshot can wipe out a city inhabited by millions of people..."
"The appearance of war has become all kinds of strange. Soldiers are often hidden tens of thousands of miles away. As long as they press a button, they can kill the enemy thousands of miles away..."
"It was a world with great material abundance. The wealth in that world was beyond your imagination! Even if the British Empire were a hundred times larger at the moment, it would still not be as rich and prosperous as that world..."
"But so what? No matter how powerful that world is, the gap between the rich and the poor is still huge. The rich are vast, but the poor have no place to stand... Instead of improving, the moral quality of human beings is declining..."
"You said that is heaven? I don't think it is heaven, I just think it is another world. Of course, the name is not important. Maybe there is something in that world that you cannot understand, so you think That’s heaven!”
Xiao Letian picked up things that Sima Yun could understand and briefly talked about those dream-like technologies. However, just the little information leaked from the fingertips already made Sima Yun dazzled and mysterious!
The meeting between the two has now become quite strange!
Why did Sima Yun ask this question? And why did Xiao Letian dare to open up and tell some of the secrets he never dared to reveal to others?
In fact, this process is negotiation, a very secret negotiation that ordinary people cannot experience.
Only those who are most proficient in politics can hear the quarrels inside this seemingly fantastic conversation.
Let’s first talk about why Sima Yun asked this sensitive question!
He asked this question, partly because he was really curious. This question had existed for many years. They had had this suspicion since the first day they met Xiao Letian.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. Even the taciturn Sima Yun couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart. He was even willing to lose ten years of his life to know the secrets of heaven.
Curiosity is only the first reason, and the second reason is that Sima Yun is trying to force Xiao Letian into the palace in disguise.
Xiao Letian, do you admit that you are a heavenly being? If you don’t admit that you are a heavenly being and only admit that you are a mortal, then you should not use those absolute words to judge the future!
You say that feudal society will collapse in forty or fifty years? You are also a mortal and you will make mistakes, and we think that the change will happen after one or two hundred years. This will block Xiao Letian's room for rebuttal.
If Xiao Letian does not admit that he is a heavenly being, then naturally the prophecies of the head of state will not count. But what if Xiao Letian admits that he is a heavenly being?
In fact, for these royalists, this recognition is great news.
Because once Xiao Letian admits that he is a heavenly being, they will have even more reason to push him and his son to the position of emperor!
Almost all the founding emperors in Chinese history, which one does not have some mysterious legends?
Even if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang wanted to rebel and revolt, they had to pretend to be gods and ghosts and create some mysterious legends!
Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, killed the White Snake to revolt. Later, he said that he was born because of a dragon lying on his mother's body and playing rogue.
Yuwentai, Taizu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, actually said that his mother dreamed of the sun, broke the window and got pregnant.
There are countless such examples. Basically all emperors would create many mysterious colors for their governance, thereby increasing their legitimacy.
In the hearts of the royalists, once Xiao Letian admits that he is a man in heaven, there is no need to argue. He is the emperor, and there is no way he can be wrong!
Routines, they are all routines! Who said ancient people were not smart? Who said time travelers would definitely be able to take advantage? The ancient people really played tricks, and modern people can't catch up even if they flatter them.
No matter whether they advance or retreat, whether Xiao Letian admits or denies it, Sima Yun and the others can actually take advantage.
But is Xiao Letian helpless? Actually it's not. The best choice for Xiao Letian at this moment is to make this ambiguous admission and give himself a little mystery!
Xiao Letian has realized that he is facing more than just Sima Yun! What he is facing is the counterattack of the very powerful feudal forces in this era!
This is almost an overwhelming effort! With the remaining inertia of the feudal dynasty that spans thousands of years of human history, it is simply not something that mortals can resist!
If Xiao Letian wants to resolve their counterattack, he must use four ounces of skill to move a thousand pounds!
You hope to get some mysterious evidence from me? Well then, I’ll give it to you!
However, giving you these does not mean that I will ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor. On the contrary, this is just my delaying strategy!
I admit that I am a man from heaven, so you, Sima Yun, have to believe my prophecy, and my prophecy is that within forty or fifty years, the feudal forces will surely collapse, and the capitalist forces will flourish.
Okay, now I’ll throw the hard problem to you Sima Yun again. How do you, Sima Yun, choose?
If you continue to stubbornly force me to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, and force me to adopt a constitutional monarchy, then it will only prove that you have never believed that I am a man from heaven. You are just using my identity as a cover to do your own thing. It's just personal.
If you truly believe in my identity as a man in heaven, then you will definitely believe my judgment. Within forty or fifty years, the feudal forces around the world will completely collapse!
This is no longer a question of trust or disbelief. This has risen to a question of whether you are loyal to me. Sima Yun, how will you choose?
