Zhao Xirui's heart tightened when he heard Su Yonglin say that he was worried.
"How to say?"
"I initiated the revolution, and a series of theoretical guidance for building and governing our country were created by me. Therefore, I may have always taken it for granted that people who have learned my thoughts and theories will continue to follow my path and will not deviate. But now, I feel like I was wrong."
Su Yonglin shook his head, clasped his hands on his chest, and sighed: "The ancients said that people's hearts are unpredictable. The ancients did not understand many things, but they had experience. A large amount of experience was summed up into experience. It always makes sense. Learn Two people with the same knowledge will take two different paths.
Some people choose to plead for the people, some choose to prey on the people, some choose to fight to the death, and some choose to survive in shame. People are so different, but I thought that I could control people's hearts with my prestige and power. I was wrong. "
"But you've done a great job."
Zhao Xirui held Su Yonglin's hand: "You have changed too much."
"It can be changed back."
Su Yonglin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I can't fundamentally reverse the historical inertia, after I die, someone will change what I did back. This is why I cannot allow another emperor to appear in the future. An emperor with unlimited power can do A good thing can also make everything I do go down the drain.”
"What should we do?"
"What to do? Do your best and obey fate."
Su Yonglin sighed and said helplessly: "I don't believe in God, but there are some things that only God knows. I know that this road is difficult and dangerous, so I am cautious and move forward bit by bit, never daring to take big strides forward.
I have worked hard to train my own people, let them learn my theories and thoughts, and want them to become my comrades. They have indeed become my comrades, but their thoughts may not be the same as mine. During work, you will form your own opinions.
They will use different methods for the same goal, and they all firmly believe that using their own methods can achieve the goal, so they will have disagreements and disputes. If the dispute is well controlled, it can be considered benign, but if it is not well controlled, , there will be party strife. "
"Party fighting... is not a good thing."
Zhao Xirui whispered: "I read history books and found that many things that should not have happened due to party strife in all dynasties, and there is no good way to resolve party strife."
"Who says it's not the case? I've changed a lot of things, but there are some things that haven't changed yet, and I'm going to speed up."
Su Yonglin sighed: "They want to build an ideal society in thirty years. Why don't I want to build it in twenty or ten years? Just because I know this is impossible, so I will not support them. However, not everyone will be like this Think about the problem.
Although I think so, they do not think that I am absolutely right. I have made mistakes and admitted them. I am not a holy being. The revival members may not necessarily agree with what I say unless I say what I say. Only when you say something that is completely and overwhelmingly convincing can you convince them. "
"So... we can only do our best and obey fate?"
Zhao Xirui looked at Su Yonglin who kept rubbing his temples with some distress, and said: "You haven't caught the good things about being an emperor, but you have encountered all the bad things about being an emperor. This emperor really has no energy to do what he does, isn't it? ?"
Su Yonglin thought for a while and shook his head.
"If I don't become emperor, I won't be able to quickly stabilize people's hearts, and I won't be able to stabilize the Ming Dynasty. Of course we can establish the Ming Dynasty, but it might take another three or four years, or even longer. Doing so is of course detrimental to us. It will be better, but the number of people who died tragically in several years of war may be even greater.
Although we are facing many problems now, we have allowed more people to survive, allowing them to live a good life in advance, with enough food, clothing, education and literacy. These are our achievements. Although there are many problems, if we do it again, I will I will still take this path.
Finding the possibility of success in the impossible is what a revolutionary is. Fortunately, I am not yet thirty years old. I still have a lot of time. It doesn’t take long to change an idea. I think I should be able to see changes in people’s ideas. On that day, everything started from this article. "
So, just as the debate in Zhongdu became more and more intense, Su Yonglin published this article titled "The shackles in the heart are still there, where can we go to heaven?"
This article starts with the work difficulties of the Women's Department chaired by Zhao Xirui and Xiao Cui, and then talks about the current accusations made by some people in Zhongdu City against Zhao Xirui for "interfering in politics in the harem". It then begins to talk about the ideal society where everyone is equal and women. The status quo of unequal political status.
As he said himself, he is known as the emperor, but in fact within the Renaissance Association and in the imperial court where Renaissance members are the absolute majority, he does not have the terrifying oppressive power of the emperor, and he voluntarily gave up this oppressive power. .
Therefore, although he is still at the helm of the country, in ideological battles, even if he ends up personally, he still needs exact and true truth, not authority.
Therefore, his weapon is the exact truth.
How can the kingdom of heaven on earth, where everyone is equal, tolerate the existence of inequality?
Taking this crucial issue as the fulcrum, Su Yonglin leveraged the entire situation.
As far as he knew, both the supporters and the opposition were uncooperative and passive in the work of the Ministry of Women. They claimed to build a heaven on earth where everyone is equal, but right in front of Su Yonglin's eyes, inequality It appeared so intuitively.
What about the promise that everyone is equal?
Women are not human beings?
If they are human beings, why are they not respected?
Why did Xiao Cui receive cold treatment and passive cooperation when he went to various departments to do business?
Why was it that after Zhao Xirui went to support Xiao Cui's work, there were rumors of "harem interfering in politics"?
Who is shouting about building an ideal society quickly, accurately and ruthlessly but also speaking out evil words and pointing the finger at Xiao Cui and Zhao Xirui?
Are they not human?
The wording of Su Yonglin's article is extremely harsh, directly defining this behavior as "double standards", and calling people who hold this concept and bring this concept into actual work "double standard patients", who are sick. , the illness is not serious.
He believes that the way this kind of people do things is "Standards that meet my standards are standards, and standards that do not meet my standards are not standards."
This kind of person is the most shameless and the least qualified to say that he wants to build a heaven on earth. Even if he builds it, it will be useless, because the heaven on earth that conforms to his heart is the real heaven on earth. Any heaven on earth that does not conform to his thoughts It is not heaven on earth.
This kind of people think that only those with equal qualifications can be equal, and those without equal qualifications cannot be equal. They keep shouting about building an ideal society where everyone is equal, but when they put it into practice, they immediately expose the ugly thoughts in their hearts.
Can such a person also promote the success of the revolution?
