Ren Dejing blinked and was speechless for a moment.
He seemed to have never thought about this issue before, until Su Yonglin brought it up, he started to think about it.
This thought really makes sense.
Yes, why can't we unify each other in all three aspects?
We are clearly in a divided situation, why are we so content with the status quo?
"why?"
Ren Dejing was puzzled and could only look at Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin sighed and shook his head.
"A country cannot stop. Once it stops, various problems will arise. There is nothing wrong with stopping when there are no foreign enemies. With such a perspective, if you still stop when there are foreign enemies, you are yourselves. problem."
Ren Dejing still couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he had no choice but to give up and continue to ask about the secret he wanted to know most.
"You still haven't told me! Are you a heavenly being? What is heaven like? Can humans live forever and become immortals?"
Seeing Ren Dejing's face full of curiosity and even a bit crazy, Su Yonglin knew that this guy was a little crazy, or even a little insane. He was unwilling to admit failure and actually blamed the issue on the people in heaven. .
boring.
"You think I'm a heavenly being? No, I'm not a heavenly being. I'm just an ordinary person, a child of a wealthy family who was born by the sea. When I was very young, I didn't have any great ambitions. I just thought about being rich. The days come to an end.
When did I start to change? It must have been a while. I don’t think you understand how I changed specifically, and you don’t want to know, so I won’t tell you. But how I succeeded, I think you must be very interested. "
"Yes, I'm interested, you say."
Ren Dejing nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of curiosity, and he still seemed to think that Su Yonglin was a man from heaven, and what he was talking about now was the secret of heaven.
He felt that even if he was about to die, he should know this secret, remember it, and keep it in his soul. If so, he might also have the possibility of becoming an immortal!
He wanted so much.
It's a pity that Su Yonglin didn't tell the "secret" he wanted to know.
Su Yonglin is talking about his true path.
"Before the rebellion, I did some research in the Song and Jin countries, and inspected the entire societies of the Song and Jin countries. Finally, I decided that it would be easier to rebel in the Jin country than in the Song Dynasty, because the Jin Dynasty The state has two main contradictions, but the Song state has only one."
"Contradiction? What do you mean?"
"Literally, the main contradictions in the Jin State are ethnic conflicts and class contradictions, but there is only one class contradiction in the Song State, so the Jin State is more unstable than the Song State, and the revolt is more likely to succeed, so I chose Rebellion in the Kingdom of Jin.”
"National conflicts? Class conflicts? What are these? Why can't I understand?"
Ren Dejing was very unhappy: "Don't say something I don't understand. I'm about to die. Can't you just let me be a sensible person? Talk about heaven, heaven!"
"I said there is no heaven, I am just an ordinary person..."
"There is no heaven?"
"No."
"You didn't lie to me?"
"Do you listen? If you don't listen, I'll leave."
"No, no, no, I listen! I listen!"
Ren Dejing was afraid that Su Yonglin had really left, so he quickly stopped him and let him say what he wanted to say.
"That's more or less...forget it, I'll keep it simple. Simply put, in the Song Dynasty, the greatest contradiction between the officials and the people was the greatest. In the Jin Dynasty, in addition to the contradictions between the officials and the people, there were also conflicts between the Jurchens and other ethnic groups. The contradiction between a small tribe and a large country is very serious, and all kinds of preferential treatment of people of the same tribe and harsh treatment of foreigners are very serious."
Ren Dejing is also an outstanding bureaucrat with sufficient administrative experience and knowledge. When Su Yonglin said this, he understood.
"I see, you took a fancy to the Jurchens' oppression of the Han people, and used this to incite the Han people to rebel."
"This is only part of the reason, and not the main one. Under the banner of regaining the territory of the Han family, I attracted many people to join my team, but my most fundamental group of subordinates did not think so. They thought more deeply. a little."
"What is it?"
"You do not understand."
"Oh! You're such a person!"
Ren Dejing became anxious and said, "I'm almost dead, just tell me! Tell me!"
"You really don't understand?"
Su Yonglin put away his slight frivolity and became solemn and serious.
"Maybe you don't understand, but it's more likely that you don't want to understand at all. To put it bluntly, what I do is rebellion. The reason why I can rebel is that some people are willing to follow me. Those who can't survive follow me. As long as they If you can live a good life, why should you follow me in rebellion?
Why would a person who has food, clothing and a house abandon his peaceful life and follow me in rebellion? It wasn't because someone made it difficult for him to live. He had anger in his heart, and I rose to the occasion, drawing out the anger in their hearts, gathering it into a flame of anger, and igniting this land! "
Su Yonglin stood up, walked to the cage, and looked directly at Ren Dejing.
"Why can I succeed? Because I am them, they are me, my goal is their goal, their goal is my goal! So their power is my power, my power is their power, thousands With the combined strength of tens of thousands of people, can’t we change the world?”
Ren Dejing looked at Su Yonglin who suddenly walked up to him and looked directly at him, with surprise on his face.
"who are they?"
"That goes without saying, all the common people in the world."
Su Yonglin smiled: "The farmers who farm the land, the vendors who set up stalls, the workers who carry goods at the docks, and the thousands of people who run with all their strength in order to have a full meal are them. It is their strength that is concentrated together. , achieved me, achieved Ming Dynasty.
You are only doing it for yourself, for your own family, and at most you count the group of shameless people who rely on you and cling to you. That's just a small group of people. How little power do you have? Once a person dies, nothing is left.
But I am not. I am the representative of the people of the world. I represent them and fight for them. When the will of the people of the world comes together, this force is invincible! "
"I still do not get it……"
Ren Dejing was confused and couldn't understand what Su Yonglin meant.
"If you don't understand, just don't understand. What can you do if you understand? You have always only had your own power in your heart, and you hope that everyone will fight for you, but you are so stingy that you don't want to give them anything. Of course you will fail."
Ren Dejing was stunned for a moment, then became furious.
"I... what about you? Don't you want everyone to fight for you? You don't want to control them, control them, and have supreme power? Then what do you have control of now?"
"I have never thought that they are fighting not for me, but for themselves."
Su Yonglin shook his head: "I told them clearly that they are not fighting for me."
Ren Dejing was stunned.
"What?"
“They are not fighting for me, they are fighting so that the land their families have gained will not be lost, so that their families will not have to bear exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that their families will not be bullied by powerful officials and landlords, and so that the smiles on their faces will no longer be lost.
They have never fought hard for me, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I told them that they don't need to fight for me. I am them and they are me. They only need to fight for themselves and their families.
When thousands of them are working hard for thousands of families, and thousands of families are striving for the same goal, why worry about the Ming Dynasty not being able to prosper? Why worry that the Xia Kingdom cannot be destroyed? "
Ren Dejing finally couldn't understand what Su Yonglin meant.
He couldn't understand what Su Yonglin was talking about.
Isn't this the crazy talk of a madman?
If fear and majesty cannot be used to establish prestige, severe punishment and rewards cannot be used as a means to control subordinates, and everyone cannot work hard for him, how can this order be established?
Without a clear system of superiority and inferiority, without a logical and rigorous ideological system of superiority and inferiority, how can this order be established? How can the rule be maintained?
How did he become this emperor?
What kind of country is this Ming Dynasty?
Does it really have nothing to do with the heavenly realm?
Is Su Yonglin really just an ordinary person?
Ren Dejing didn't understand. His mind was in a mess and he couldn't figure it out no matter what.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
He was soon executed along with a group of captured Ren descendants, executed in the name of rebellion and regicide.
Before he died, Ren Dejing still didn't understand why Su Yonglin said those words and made that choice.
With eternal doubts and vague disbelief, Ren Dejing's head fell to the ground.
