Tian Guizi was a little confused at first, not knowing what Su Yonglin really meant.
He had briefly read these two articles, but was not very impressed and did not feel that he had really read anything.
“Is there anything special about these two articles?”
"You haven't read it?"
"I've read it briefly, but I don't think there's anything too important."
Su Yonglin nodded.
"Some articles don't need to be read in depth, just take a quick look at them, but some articles need to be read intensively and savored slowly. One of these two articles is about Liu Bang, and the other is about Yang Jian.
Both of these men were the founding emperors of the country. They were very capable and had great achievements in governing the country. Moreover, both of them carried out large-scale purges of the groups of heroes who started their careers. "
As soon as Tian Guizi heard the word "cleaning", he understood it instantly.
"I understand, I understand everything. This is your last warning."
"They want to play tacit understanding with me, so I will play tacit understanding with them."
Su Yonglin sneered and said: "I won't do anything if I rein in my horse from the brink, but if I still hear about Zeying being the crown prince in the future, I will never show mercy.
They only saw the benefits that I brought to them after establishing the crown prince, but they did not see the risks behind it. I will let them know. Don't just see thieves eating and not being beaten. "
Tian Guizi completely understood what Su Yonglin's operation of "courtesy first and then soldiers" was.
After that, Su Yonglin sighed again.
"But in any case, since such doubts have arisen, then I must respond positively. As our leader, I must respond positively to these widely suspected things, otherwise it will affect the overall situation of the government and harm people's hearts. .”
Tian Guizi lowered his head, obviously understanding this.
"So, how are you going to respond to this?"
"I will definitely do what I said, otherwise I will break my word. People who break their word are not worthy of being revolutionaries."
Su Yonglin shook his head and said: "I will never allow there to be an emperor after me, let alone Zeying as the crown prince. I think the seven-member decision-making group you have established is good and can be carried forward. In the future, I hope to work as a collective The way of leadership will lead the Ming Dynasty to continue to move forward."
"Collective leadership?"
"Well, collective leadership and joint decision-making."
Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi and smiled: "Of course, there still needs to be a top leader, but it is impossible to have such absolute power as the emperor. I haven't thought about how to use the power separately.
But I feel that in the form of collective leadership, the inevitable disaster caused by the absolute power of an emperor can be avoided to the greatest extent. When the disaster is really going to happen, others will have the opportunity to turn the tide. "
"This... I feel really hard."
Tian Guizi frowned and said: "How to lead collectively, how to regulate power, how to make the top leader truly a leader, and how to avoid the kind of disaster you mentioned, think about it carefully, there is no precedent, we also Never encountered anything like this.”
"But you can't always count on me. I'm going to die anyway."
Su Yonglin laughed: "I am a mortal with a mortal body. I have a fate that I cannot escape. Now you rely on me to make decisions. I have all the power and bear all the responsibilities. I can, but I am dead. And after that?
You can't expect me to be responsible for the Ming Dynasty forever. If I don't complete the revolutionary cause while I'm alive, you have to accept my expectations and continue to struggle, and strive to lead the Ming Dynasty to become stronger and stronger without me. Is what I hope. "
Tian Guizi laughed dumbly.
He admired Su Yonglin's character, but he didn't know whether the collective leadership Su Yonglin mentioned could work.
and……
"Alang, don't forget, you are younger than many of us, and you don't know who of us is ahead of whom."
Seeing Tian Guizi's smiling face, Su Yonglin was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"It makes sense, it makes sense. I almost ignored this question. You are three years older than me, so... well, I won't be the emperor until I die. I think I will at least watch it with my own eyes for two consecutive years. It is best for the acting leader to take over the leadership role and survive until the third generation takes over the responsibility.”
Tian Qizi put away his smile.
"You already have plans to abdicate?"
"It has always been there, but it was not the time before. The Ming Dynasty really can't do without me, so I have always been the emperor, but now, I feel that the time has come."
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "This opportunity was given to me by them. After the people's representatives and the Central Committee have been established, and a decision-making team has been fully formed and can smoothly exercise power, there will be no need for me as an emperor to exist. .
Originally, I was not sure when was the best time to promote political reform, but now, those people have helped me make up my mind. They hope to make me take a step back and establish the monarchy. I don't want to. I want to This is how the burying of the empire begins! "
Tian Guizi took a deep breath.
"If this is your final decision, I will support you unconditionally."
"I know, Gezi."
Su Yonglin reached out and patted Tian Guizi on the shoulder: "Including you, every one of you who sticks to your heart and fights side by side with me is my biggest gain from the revolution."
Su Yonglin has never doubted that those who still maintain a pure revolutionary heart, including Tian Guizi, are valuable gains from his revolution.
Without them, our revolution would not have been successful.
But precisely because of this, every person who deteriorates makes Su Yonglin even more heartbroken.
They actually thought of using their illness to achieve their sinister purpose of not being exposed to the sun, which was dark and damp, and to degenerate Ming Dynasty from a glorious country into a sinful country full of exploitation and oppression. This alone has exceeded Su Yonglin's bottom line. .
If his final warning can't bring them back from the brink, struggle is an inevitable option.
Su Yonglin will never let go of any enemy.
Before leaving, Su Yonglin gave Tian Qizi a box of mung bean cakes made by Zhao Xirui. This was Su Yonglin's favorite dessert. Even in the coldest month of winter, Su Yonglin couldn't help but have a piece or two.
Then he drank a cup of green tea that Zhao Xirui made for him. The feeling of the hot, slightly bitter tea and the sweet mung bean cake blending together in his mouth was very, very wonderful.
Tian Guizi was very happy and returned to the office with the mung bean cake given to him by Su Yonglin. He opened the box as if to show off, took out a piece of mung bean cake made by Zhao Xirui, and ate it.
Then while eating, he talked about Su Yonglin's current life with his envious subordinates.
"The chairman's body has almost recovered, but he still wants to take this opportunity to rest for a while. During this period, the matters will be left to our seven-member decision-making group to handle. The chairman is living a very relaxed and happy life now. In addition to resting, he just reads books. Let’s read the history books.”
"History book? What history book?"
One of his subordinates raised this question at the right time, which immediately made Tian Guizi look at him a lot.
So Tian Guizi smiled.
"The chairman read the Historical Records and Sui Shu, especially the Chronicles of Gaozu in the Historical Records and the Chronicles of Gaozu in the Sui Dynasties. The chairman seemed to particularly like these two articles. When I went there, I was reading the Chronicles of Gaozu in the Sui Dynasties. The chairman said to me, Using history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs, so we should read more history books."
