Am I standing with them?
How can it be? !
I am a revival member, how can I stand with the superior people?
Jiang Yu was shocked, immediately stood up, walked to Su Yonglin's side, and knelt down with a plop.
"Your Majesty! I don't! I absolutely don't! All I think about is to manage Zhongdu and Daxing Mansion well. I have no other ideas! I will never stand with them! I am a member of the Renaissance! I am not a superior. Human! No!"
"I know you have no other ideas, but your change makes me sad."
Su Yonglin did not move, and glanced at him with a slight tilt of his head: "Meetings between revival members, meetings between fellow members, meetings between comrades to discuss issues, why are you kneeling? Do you completely regard me as the emperor? I When have my revival comrades kneeled before me?"
Jiang Yu froze on the spot, motionless, his throat moved slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
Yes, why is he kneeling?
Why is he kneeling?
Why did he subconsciously kneel down and beg Su Yonglin for forgiveness?
He was a little confused.
"I have emphasized many times in meetings of the Renaissance that being emperor is a means to achieve my goal, not the goal itself. My mind is very clear, and I have never forgotten what my goal is."
Su Yonglin sighed and said slowly: "At the beginning, you were a person I valued very much. You were very capable and learned everything quickly, so as soon as you entered Zhongdu, I appointed you as the Yin of Daxing Prefecture.
Not only did I appoint you to govern Zhongdu and Daxing Mansion, giving you the greatest trust, I also recommended you to be the director of the organization department of our Renaissance Association, because I believe that with your ability, you can handle these things well.
But now, I find that your head seems to be not so clear anymore. Look at you, you kneel down to me so simply and completely. Then in other places, you will also enjoy the feeling of others kneeling down to you, right? You already think someone is nobler than you, so of course you think someone is lower than you. "
Jiang Yu was trembling all over and lowered his head, at a loss.
"Even if you didn't say it, I felt it. Something was resurrected in your heart. The thing that we tried our best to crush was resurrected in your heart. When did these things start to be resurrected in your heart? And you don’t feel at all that these things are wrong?”
Su Yonglin turned his head and looked at Jiang Yu who was kneeling on the ground: "Stop kneeling, stand up and speak."
Jiang Yu seemed to have heard nothing. He did not stand up and was lost in his memories.
Su Yonglin's question just now made him very concerned.
He suddenly realized that he was not like this in the beginning.
At the beginning, he hated the old officials around him who nodded and bowed with flattering expressions on their faces. He didn't want to be with them and it was very uncomfortable to be with them.
Just because administrative work requires experienced people, he was forced to contact them and work with them, but in his heart he never regarded them as one of his own.
When did the change begin?
Was it that time when he fell ill and all the government officials rushed to find famous medicinal materials to treat his illness?
Or was it that time when he celebrated his old mother's birthday, and all the government officials came to congratulate his old mother who had worked hard all her life, and all knelt down to wish her a happy birthday?
Or was it that time when his beloved big yellow dog died of illness and a group of government officials cried more sadly than he did?
When did he start to feel the wonderful taste of power, the feeling of being superior to others brought by power, and the pleasure of being dwarfed by stars?
It seems like it can all be counted, right?
Little by little changes in his life made him accept these old officials who liked to flatter him and say nice things, and cared about his needs and wants.
From the initial rejection, to the later acceptance of their existence, and later to the vague enjoyment of their existence, he felt that their existence made him feel extremely happy.
Until now, it seems that I can't live without them.
When he is sick, he feels uncomfortable without anyone to see him.
He would not be happy if there weren't many people coming to celebrate my mother's birthday.
If someone contradicts him on official duties, he will be very unhappy, so much so that he will be furious. He will have to make the person realize that he is inviolable. He will even lower the person's position or make the person do some painful things. A tiring job.
Many things seemed to be changing slowly bit by bit, and when he finally noticed that something was not right about this change, it had already reached this point.
I……
It seems to have really changed.
Jiang Yu didn't say a word or react at all. Su Yonglin asked him to stand up, but he didn't move either.
This undoubtedly disappointed Su Yonglin.
"You are actually not even willing to stand up... Everyone, have you seen it? Once a person kneels down, it is difficult to stand up again. Therefore, you must take this as a warning and never imitate him. Don’t think that kneeling down is an easy thing. It’s easy to kneel down, but it’s difficult to stand up.”
After that, Su Yonglin said: "With Jiang Yu's current situation, he is no longer qualified for the position of director of the Organization Department of the Renaissance Society, so I propose that Jiang Yu be removed from the position of director of the Organization Department and let him take a good rest and reflect. If you are supportive of your own gains and losses, please raise your hands.”
Su Yonglin raised his hand first.
Undoubtedly, everyone in the audience raised their hands without hesitation.
Su Yonglin nodded and put his hand down.
"No one objects. The Organization Department can clarify this decision and complete the procedures as soon as possible. The deputy director of the Organization Department will temporarily take over the next work of the Organization Department. The appointment of the next director will be decided at the next meeting."
Jiang Yu's position as Director of the Organization Department was removed in such an understatement.
He collapsed on the ground, motionless, like a thirsty traveler walking in the desert chasing an oasis, only to find that the oasis was just a mirage.
Su Yonglin didn't pay attention to him, but brought up his previous proposal again.
Starting from Shandong, it launched a devastating attack on the old bureaucrats, gentry, landlords and other superior people, and completely eliminated them. The Renaissance Society was about to start doing business. The coexistence with the superior people was completely ended in the third year of Hongwu. Three years later, the revival church will be responsible for burying them and erecting tombstones for them.
The proposal was successfully passed.
The meeting decided that since it is not possible to launch a comprehensive strike within a short period of time, a phased strike will be adopted.
Su Yonglin will use the Shandong corruption case as an excuse to launch a devastating attack on the Shandong scholar class in the next period of time.
Drive them out of the court in one fell swoop, eradicate their power, destroy their foundation, nationalize all the means of production they control, and first complete this revolution in Shandong.
And they disguised it as a political attack on the civil servants of the Shandong faction, confusing the other factions in the court and making them think that this was something beneficial to them, thus relaxing their vigilance and preparing for the further liquidation of the Yanyun faction and the foreign faction.
After this operation is over, there will be no four major factions in the Ming Dynasty: Yuan Cong, Shandong, Yan Yun, and Foreigners. There will be only one faction, and that is the faction that strives for the welfare of the entire Ming Dynasty throughout its life.
In order to complete the trick, on March 19, the third year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin announced that he would leave Zhongdu again and go to Kaifeng to inspect the progress of the Yellow River construction site and conduct an inspection.
