Su Yonglin knew what Kong Maojie was talking about, so he nodded directly.
"If what you are talking about is the debate in the court about whether I can establish a crown prince, yes, I know."
"You know."
Kong Maojie took a deep breath, took another step closer, and asked: "Then do you still remember the night when you officially ascended the throne and proclaimed yourself emperor eleven years ago? What was said in front of eight people?”
"Of course I remember."
Su Yonglin nodded and said with a smile: "I said that I became the emperor as a temporary measure. I did not become the emperor for the sake of being the emperor. I became the emperor in order to integrate the complicated political environment at that time. I will wait until everything is on track. When the time comes, I will abdicate."
"Then do you remember what you said to me?"
"of course I remember."
Su Yonglin pointed at Kong Maojie: "You were the only one who dared to stand up and ask me if I was really determined. In order to show you that I was determined, I also decided to let you be the executioner for me to take off the emperor's clothes and burn them to the ground. people.
In addition to you, there is Zhou Chong. He is a witness. He is responsible for witnessing all this. Witnessing that you took off the emperor's clothes for me and burned the emperor's clothes to confirm that Ming Dynasty has completely become a democracy, not an empire. . "
Kong Maojie nodded.
"Since you remember it so clearly, are you still willing to keep your promise to this day?"
"That's natural, I never forgot my promise, I never forgot everything I wanted to do."
Su Yonglin nodded and said: "What makes me happy is that neither you nor Zhou Chong have forgotten what happened that day. Like me, you are still persisting and still believe in our ideals.
But what makes me sad is that out of the 108 people back then, 57 people have fallen behind. In more than ten years, half of them have fallen behind. I don’t know how many people can persevere to the end. .
I know this is very difficult, but it has only been more than ten years since the founding of the country. Half of the people have been left behind, including those who have witnessed my determination. It is impossible to say that I am not worried. "
"Before worrying about this issue, I think the most necessary thing to worry about is another issue."
Kong Maojie took another step forward, stared at Su Yonglin, and said, "As the leader and pillar of all of us, you yourself are the most important. Can you persist? Do you want to go back?"
Asking this question really made Kong Maojie use up all his courage.
Looking at his trembling expression, Su Yonglin knew how difficult it was for him to ask such a question in front of him.
He didn't come to inquire about the news as soon as he learned about it. Maybe there was this reason.
He needs time to make a judgment and accumulate courage so that he can unleash all his courage at this critical moment and ask crucial questions.
In fact, after figuring out the current situation in the court, Su Yonglin was waiting for Kong Maojie to come and question him.
Of course, he also hoped that Zhou Chong would come to question him, and it would be best to get angry in front of him, which would meet his inner expectations.
Now that Kong Maojie can come, he is very happy.
Being able to attack the most fundamental political system of the Ming Dynasty in front of himself, whose prestige is at its peak after more than ten years in power, is enough to prove his faith and courage.
If Su Yonglin really had that idea, Kong Maojie would not only lose his political future by doing this, but his life would be in danger and he would encounter unexpected persecution.
But after weighing and hesitating, Kong Maojie came anyway and confronted Su Yonglin face to face to ask questions, which made Su Yonglin very happy.
Kong Maojie is still the same Kong Maojie as before, and has not changed.
Su Yonglin took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, then stood up, walked to Kong Maojie, and patted his shoulder.
"Well done."
"???"
Kong Maojie's face was immediately full of questions, not knowing why.
"I'm sorry Mao Jie, I didn't plan to do this originally, but when things came to a close, I suddenly had a similar idea. I wanted to see how many people can still stick to our ideals, and how many people are just superficial and don't have any intention at all. Care about revolution or not.”
Su Yonglin smiled and told Kong Maojie the ins and outs of the incident.
After hearing this, Kong Maojie felt very complicated. He was silent for a long time before speaking.
"So, this matter was just your strategy from beginning to end?"
"You can't say that. I'm just trying to show off my tricks. I wasn't the one who caused this incident in the first place. It was someone who wanted to use this incident as a strategy to deal with me, so I took advantage of it."
Su Yonglin smiled bitterly and said: "But in the final analysis, it cannot be said that this has nothing to do with me. I originally planned to use the story of Liu Bang and Yang Jian to tell those who hope that I will really become the emperor, and let them know that the first thing I will do after becoming the real emperor is Just kill them.
But what I didn't expect was that our great revolution basically wiped out all the gentry in the past. The new officials were remarkable in their administrative skills, but their cultural literacy was so insufficient that they couldn't understand my intentions at all. "
"Is this...is this the reason? That's why this matter went in such a strange direction?"
Kong Maojie's face became a little tense.
"Yes, this is something I didn't expect beforehand. I didn't expect that because they didn't study and were ignorant, things could actually go in this direction."
Su Yonglin shook his head and said with a smile: "But should I say it or not? Although this matter has some strange directions, the final direction is exactly what I want. Outsiders don't know the truth of this big debate right now, but for me For me, it’s a good opportunity to distinguish whether I’m gay or not.”
Kong Maojie was stunned for a moment, and then like a deflated rubber ball, he walked to the side of the chair and sat down on it.
Cold sweat immediately soaked his back, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He was panting as if he had just finished an intense exercise.
"Are you that nervous when facing me?"
Su Yonglin, dumbfounded, handed a towel to Kong Maojie. Kong Maojie took it and wiped his forehead.
"Not in the past, but in recent years, I have clearly felt that your aura is getting stronger and stronger, and it makes me more and more afraid to look directly at you. Just now, if you were angry at me, I would probably be scared to death on the spot. it's here."
"That's not true, is it?"
Su Yonglin smiled helplessly: "I think I'm quite easy-going, not aggressive at all, and basically I don't get angry at all. Why did I scare you to this point?"
Kong Maojie was speechless.
He is easy-going and not at all fierce - referring to launching three major purges, executing and punishing more than 100,000 class enemies who committed crimes, exiled more than 500,000 family members of class enemies, and captured more than one million defeated enemies. Make it a brick in the construction tide of Ming Dynasty.
He is easy-going and not at all fierce - referring to the fact that in the eleven years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has increased the country's territory more than seven times, wiped out dozens of large countries, small countries, and hostile tribes, and restored the influence of the Ming Dynasty to a level beyond that of the pre-Tang Tian Khan period, and his prestige is as great as Heavenly Man.
Kong Maojie suddenly felt that Su Yonglin was really humble, so humble that he didn't know how much he weighed, and he didn't realize what kind of existence he was in the eyes of others.
In the past, they thought this was a very good habit, because pride can corrupt people, but now they feel that Su Yonglin should have some self-awareness so that he can understand what status he has reached.
Don't keep going to Versailles like this, it's really hard.
"Chairman, I think it would be better for you to say less if this happens in the future."
Kong Maojie wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking depressed.
"What's wrong? Am I right?"
Su Yonglin was very curious.
Kong Maojie almost choked to death from Su Yonglin's rhetorical question.
In desperation, he could only sigh and shake his head.
"In short, this is your plan. You have never thought about establishing a prince, right?"
