Faced with Su Yonglin's inquiry, Tian Guizi was silent for a while.
Then he gave his answer.
"Alang, I can only promise you that I will never change myself. As long as Alang stays like this, I will always be like this. Until the end, I will not become Alang's enemy, never!"
"Some things are beyond your control."
Su Yonglin shook his head and said: "But I choose to believe you. Now, I choose to believe you. As for whether you can always have my trust in the future, I'm not sure. I just hope this will never change."
Tian Guizi nodded.
"I will do my best to always gain A Lang's trust, but...A Lang, I have a question. I don't know whether I should ask it."
"You ask."
"Alang has been asking us not to change. How can we... how can we confirm whether Alang will change? Alang is going to be the emperor. The emperor can decide life and death with just one word! This is the emperor! Alang, you can guarantee that you will Doesn’t change?”
Tian Guizi didn't know where he got the courage to ask out the doubts he had stored in his heart for a long time, and asked Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin certainly didn't expect Tian Guizi to ask him this.
But he still felt extra joy.
Because finally, someone dared to question him and ask him to make some guarantees, instead of simply accepting other people's guarantees, as if he had no problems at all and was a perfect ruler.
This is certainly not normal.
It didn't matter that no one in the court dared to ask, but during the revival meeting, he hoped that someone could raise this question, pointing out that the biggest uncertainty lay not with others, but with Su Yonglin himself.
This is a fact, a very serious fact.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty, the Liberation Army, or the Renaissance Society, they were all created by Su Yonglin with his passion and ideals. He has absolute control and disposal power over them.
His one thought can lead them to the road of prosperity. At the same time, his one thought can also lead them to destruction and the endless abyss.
Su Yonglin's significance to them is so important that Tian Qizi cannot ignore it. It can even be said that if Su Yonglin himself does not change, he will have the absolute power to contain anyone's change. But if Su Yonglin changes, everyone will There is no point in not changing.
As a founder, a leader, and an emperor, everything depends on Su Yonglin, not anyone else.
So, will Su Yonglin change?
Tian Guizi was confused, worried, and even had a hint of fear.
Su Yonglin just laughed out loud.
"Yes, yes, if I can't stick to it, if one day I think it's good to be the emperor and don't want to continue to change the world, then everything will be in vain. This is indeed true, Gezi, can you do this? Asking me shows that you really care about our career."
"so what?"
"So I will also promise you that I will not change myself. I will, as always, fight resolutely against all those who obstruct us until we achieve complete victory."
Su Yonglin made his promise.
Tian Guizi looked at Su Yonglin's face at this moment and chose to trust him.
"Alang, I believe you too."
Tian Guizi believed in Su Yonglin just as Su Yonglin believed in him.
Later that day, Zhao Zuoliang came to the study room where Su Yonglin worked and found Su Yonglin.
"Why are you here? Don't you want to continue talking to Xirui? We haven't seen each other for so long. There are always a lot of things you want to talk about, right?"
"I've said everything that needs to be said. The remaining words are all about women. Your mother-in-law is talking with her, so I won't interfere. I'll leave my time to mother and daughter. I came here to find you."
Zhao Zuoliang laughed, paused for a while, and then said again: "Yuting, at the beginning, I really never thought that you could be the emperor, and it only took so long to become the emperor."
"I never thought I could be the emperor. I just got to this point. I have to do it even if I don't want to. Now that I think about it, I feel like I am dreaming, as if all this is a dream. I am afraid that if I wake up from the dream, I will not be able to do it. I am still the private salt dealer who looks up to others."
Su Yonglin put down his pen, stood up with a smile, and poured Zhao Zuoliang a cup of tea.
Zhao Zuoliang nodded.
"At the beginning, I just wanted to find a future and a backer for my family, Zhao Zuoliang's Zhao family, but who would have thought that this backer would turn into a mountain high up in the sky, and I can't rely on it no matter what. You know what Shandong official circles say I?"
Su Yonglin was a little curious.
"How to say?"
"It is said that I, Zhao Zuoliang, the [Old Taishan], relied on the real Taishan and became Taishan's Taishan. I don't know where I got the blessing. This life is considered complete."
"That's a bit much."
Su Yonglin smiled: "You were the leader of the Liberation Army before, and in the future you will be the political affairs official of the Ming Dynasty. If you are unhappy, you can rebuke them. You should have such power, so that you can calm the situation."
"No, no, people in the province say I'm taking advantage of Zhen Taishan to bully others. This is not good for me, and it's even worse for you."
Zhao Zuoliang waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are going to be the emperor soon. The Zhao family cannot cause you trouble. If you cause trouble, it will be difficult for me, it will be difficult for you, and it will be even more difficult for Xirui."
Su Yonglin thought about it and felt that Zhao Zuoliang was right.
If something were to happen, the most difficult person would be Zhao Xirui. Apart from cooperating with Su Yonglin in government affairs, he would never do anything to bully others, especially Zhao Zuoliang.
The two were silent for a while.
After a while, Zhao Zuoliang looked at Su Yonglin and asked in a low voice: "Is it really okay to let me do Pingzhang political affairs?"
"There is nothing wrong with you. You are the leader of the Liberation Army, and your status is higher than mine. You do political affairs and are the head of the officials. That is a natural thing. No one can say anything wrong. What do you think? Woolen cloth?"
"What kind of leader, hehehe, none of us know, without you, would there be me? I am just a loser. I can sit in this position because of you, Yuting, I don't think I can Do this job well.”
Zhao Zuoliang leaned back in his chair and sighed deeply: "Not to mention that my daughter is still a queen. As the biological father of the queen, he has the title of royal relative. Instead of staying at home and enjoying the blessings, he has to go out and do things. No matter how you look at it, it is inappropriate to be the head of a hundred officials, Yuting, others will say that I am a relative who is involved in politics."
"I couldn't ask for a more suitable candidate."
Su Yonglin shook his head and said: "Let me tell you the truth, none of the people I have trained that I can trust are qualified to take on this position. If you don't do it, no one I trust will be able to take this position. Only those who I don't can do it." Then someone you trust can do it.
This position is too important, and the authority is also very important. If you are not of the same mind as me, there will be many uncertainties, and many things will not be solved so smoothly. Apart from you, I really can’t find a more suitable person. chosen. "
Zhao Zuoliang looked at Su Yonglin.
"You gave me such an important position, are you not afraid that I will form a clique for personal gain? This position is not like the leader of the Liberation Army. No one can take it. This position is not a false position."
"Would you mess around like that?"
Su Yonglin looked at Zhao Zuoliang with a smile.
Zhao Zuoliang chuckled.
"You are not willing to use me until death. You are afraid that there is still a little bit of use for me that you have not used, aren't you?"
"How could it be? You are my father-in-law after all. My father has passed away, so you are my father. How can a son take advantage of his father?"
"Isn't this what it is?"
Zhao Zuoliang pointed at Su Yonglin and then at himself.
Su Yonglin smiled and shook his head and stopped talking.
The two were silent for a while, and then Zhao Zuoliang broke the silence.
"I will do as you say, and I will do whatever you want me to do. Don't worry about that."
Zhao Zuoliang said in a low voice: "There are also my two incompetent treacherous sons. I plan to lock them in the house from now on, let them go to school, and suppress them for three to five years. Then I will arrange for them to take the imperial examination." , don’t leave them outside and cause you trouble.”
