After hearing what Su Yonglin said, Lu You looked very confused.
In his heart, he didn't want to accept Su Yonglin's evaluation of Yu Yunwen and Chen Kangbo, because these two people were once his yearning and people he admired very much. He only wanted to resume the Central Plains Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom, but he could only think that these two people were real Did it. .
Even if it didn't work out.
But their will to fight bravely still makes Lu You yearn for it.
But now, he discovered that they were also human beings. They were not just fighters to restore their homeland, and they were not just warriors who marched forward bravely. They also had complex aspects.
This reality shocked Lu You's heart, and he had to admit that Su Yonglin's evaluation was reasonable.
They are dedicated to seeking and serving the country. As for the price they need to pay for this... they don't seem to care.
They don't even seem to care about who should bear the price.
Their eyes were fixed on the result and they forgot everything else.
Lu You clenched the armrests with both hands, wanting to say something, but finally let go and lowered his head.
He wanted to refute Su Yonglin with one of the points raised by the upper class of the Southern Song Dynasty in criticizing Su Yonglin's thoughts - Su Yonglin did not see them when they asked for help for the people, but only declared very arrogantly that they were all guilty.
However, Lu You soon thought of what he said to his friend - no matter how much he asked for help, wouldn't someone still starve to death?
He didn't see anyone dying of hunger in the Ming Dynasty. He only saw people holding rice bowls, eating big meals and laughing loudly.
They ate big meals of wheat rice and cooking cakes. They tasted so delicious...
What Su Yonglin did was something they had not done and perhaps could not do at all, so he was unable to refute.
"What your Majesty said is correct..."
Su Yonglin strikes while the iron is hot.
"So Mr. Wuguan, you should understand why I insist on destroying the Song Dynasty and why I want to destroy this system."
"The foreign minister knows, and the foreign minister also saw with his own eyes the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, so the foreign minister hopes that the Song Dynasty will become like this."
When Lu You thought about this, he suddenly looked at Su Yonglin with some expectation: "If there is no danger of war, if there is no bloodshed and no one is killed, that would be the best. Your Majesty, what do you say..."
The smile on Su Yonglin's face disappeared.
"It's impossible. I wrote it in Hongwu's political treatise. Revolution is not a treat for dinner, not hello, me, hello, everyone. It is a violent action that leads the oppressed people to overthrow the superiors above them, so as to stand up and take the initiative to create a new world. , it is impossible not to bleed, and it is impossible not to die.
The superior people will never let the oppressed people overthrow them and seize their interests. For the superior people, even if they are already extremely rich, they will never allow anyone to take away even a penny from their hands. "
"this……"
Lu You hesitated: "If both of us can put aside our prejudices and talk seriously, then..."
"Mr. Wu Guan, go talk to a corrupt official and ask them to stop embezzling and return all the stolen money and the land, houses, jewelry, antiques, etc. obtained from the stolen money. Do you think they will agree to it?"
Su Yonglin asked Lu a question before he finished speaking.
Lu You was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"The foreign minister has never experienced this, but..."
"But you also think this is probably impossible, right?"
"this……"
“So, it’s impossible to expect them to wake up and they didn’t treat us as equals to them from the very beginning. We are either stronger than them and make them look up to and fearful, or we are weaker than them and be ignored. They despised and exploited.”
Su Yonglin said sternly: "I know you will think that my methods are cruel and I kill too many people, which is not good. But what I want to say is that the people I killed are really few compared to the people who died because of them. What a pity, more than tens of millions of people died because of them?
Therefore, only war, only complete elimination, only complete liquidation and revolution, can sweep them all away, clean them all up, and reshape the entire world. Only in this way can we finally succeed and reshape the world! "
Lu You looked at Su Yonglin and the light in his eyes, feeling that this light could ignite a fire in his heart.
He originally wanted to ask Su Yonglin about his journey along the way, and wanted to know if he was really doing all this for the great goal he said, but suddenly he felt that it was no longer important.
The fact that he can stand here already shows that he believes in Su Yonglin. Because he believes in it, he will take the risk to provide him with such important information.
That being the case, what else is there to ask?
Just believe in him. He has already changed the Ming Dynasty, so it will be a matter of time before he changes the Southern Song Dynasty in the future.
No matter what means are used, no matter what methods are used, the Southern Song Dynasty will become like the Ming Dynasty, reunited, and end the situation of division and separatism.
All this is impossible to reverse.
Chen Kangbo and Yu Yunwen may be able to delay the Southern Song Dynasty for some time, or they may be able to make the Southern Song Dynasty a little stronger, but they absolutely cannot make the Southern Song Dynasty become an existence that can compete with the Ming Dynasty.
Although there is no theoretical data to support it, Lu You just feels that this is impossible.
Lu You closed his eyes and opened them again. There was no confusion or struggle in his heart.
"If I can inform Your Majesty of this matter, the foreign minister has nothing to say. Please be careful and don't let the Central Plains suffer. Mr. Wang, let's go."
With that said, Lu You turned around and left.
He walked a few steps when Su Yonglin's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"The whole city is filled with mourning and blood. It's just a thought to save the common people."
Lu You stopped and turned around in surprise to look at Su Yonglin who slowly stood up.
"Mr. Wu Guan, you already have kind thoughts and a heart to save the people. For this reason, you have even transcended the care and fear in your heart and provided important information to the Ming Dynasty. Then why don't you stay and witness with us a What about a completely different future?”
Lu You's face was at a loss.
"this……"
Su Yonglin stepped forward and reached out to hold Lu You's hand.
"Mr. Wu Guan, I know that it is not easy to take this step. I was also a family member of an official. I have experienced the kind of life with good food and clothing, and I have to face the difficulties and psychological struggle of giving up this life and embarking on the road of revolution. , I have also experienced it, so I understand that this step is really difficult, and those who can do it are the bravest."
Lu You looked at his hand being held and at Su Yonglin who was so close, his mind went blank.
“Revolution is something that cannot be accomplished by the people at the bottom alone. They have no knowledge, it is difficult to organize the masses, it is difficult to give full play to their own strength, and they have no clear goal of struggle. Even if they prosper for a while, they will inevitably decline in the end.
Therefore, if you want to win, you must obtain sufficient political, military, and cultural knowledge, and you need people who have mastered this knowledge to work together, so that you can continue to move forward. In this process, if you just change dynasties, it will be easy.
Everything is for profit, everything is for personal prosperity and wealth, so that talents will continue to flow. However, what we do is not to change the dynasty, but to change this cannibalistic world as written in my book. "
Su Yonglin said firmly: "Confucian books are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but I have long seen through that under the skin of benevolence, righteousness and morality, all they teach are the skills of cannibalism, but at first glance it seems so Something happened.
People who learn it are full of benevolence and morality at first, but once they learn it, understand it, and become officials, they will start cannibalism. Let these people who are cannibalizing or preparing to cannibalize change their evil ways and embark on the same path. How difficult is it for us to follow the same path?
To help the people at the bottom, as long as we allocate land to them, we can gain their support, and then spread our ideas to them, and it will spread quickly, making more and more people willing to follow us, but in the face of no shortage of land What should we do as a scholar?
This requires us not only to have a set of statecraft that can counter Confucianism, but also to place our hope in personal awakening and change, in the hope that this person is different from other cannibals and has a conscience and good intentions. And they can distinguish right from wrong and resist the temptation of a luxurious life. "
