"I admire you very much, from the bottom of my heart."
Turning his eyes towards Zhou Li, Louis XVI used Hathaway's face to kiss him. The awkward feeling made everyone at a loss. After all, Louis XVI himself was actually handsome to a certain extent. Hathaway's beautiful appearance actually lost to Louis XVI's original face in a sense.
However, everyone is still very surprised. After all, a man manipulates a woman's body to show a more charming expression than the woman. This scene...
Gee, that’s quite touching.
"Is it hard to guess?"
Looking at Evan, the corners of Louis XVI's mouth formed a perfect arc, "Do you think I did all this for my own selfish desires?"
"No, no, no, that's boring."
Louis XVI crossed his legs, with an irresistible pride on his face, "I always have only one desire, and that is to create art that even mortals, no, gods, can look up to."
"In the hands of a god who claims to be omniscient and omnipotent, there is nothing more artistic than leading a group of humans to the wasteland of freedom in a way that no one notices."
At this time, everyone understood that everything Louis XVI did was for his art.
Stealing humans from the hands of the gods was the greatest art in his mind.
"I see."
After a long time, Evan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a somewhat bitter smile appeared on his face, "When I was reading that period of history, I once wondered why any country in human history has carried out bottom-up reforms. The resulting wars were full of destruction and violence, but Tariq alone did not leave many scars when he overthrew the tsarist regime."
"The Three Border Acts established the borders of the Tsarist Empire, and the ceded abandoned land provided a natural barrier between the Tsarist Empire and other countries. Although the agricultural product recycling plan dampened the enthusiasm of farmers to a certain extent, it brought the food of the entire Tsarist Empire to a certain level. With the circulation, the food everywhere is equalized."
Once upon a time, these bills, which in people's eyes were established for Louis XVI's selfish desires, received earth-shaking answers in Evan's eyes.
"The Sixteenth Tax Law has increased tax rates, and large merchants and landowners have spread these taxes to all classes. Over time, these civilian classes will begin to hate landlords and merchants and become Tariq's reserve army. Of course, landlords and merchants will do it anyway Their power was weakened by the tax laws, making it easier for the common people to overthrow them."
"Although the Western Development Order seems to be an attempt by you to further expand your assets, take the uninhabited land in the west into your own hands, and add bricks and tiles to your own wealth. But this action of yours triggered a trend, and those noble bureaucrats also This was followed by the transfer of large sums of wealth to the west. This money was also the basis for the subsequent uprising of Tarik Vladimir.”
"Forcing students to study labor laws seems like you want to find a reason to plunder the people's wealth. However, you have added a lot of content that is conducive to the uprising in the seemingly useless courses. For example, some economics and some military affairs Theory, and war history. These things are incomprehensible to most people, but there are so many civilians that even if only a small number of people can understand and learn this knowledge, if they gather together, it will be an astronomical number."
"The labor force is distributed across the country. This was originally regarded by the Tariq people as a rope for your suicide, but it is the last step that is crucial for you to realize this plan. This step will directly allow the world to get those who have the power from Moscow. Civilian youths who are knowledgeable, full of passion and remain angry. They have become the backbone of the insurrectionary army. At the same time, their presence also prevented the uprising from falling into the usual situation of uprisings in various places and final local separatism. "
"You put your wealth everywhere, in the west far away from the warring place of Mosk. At the same time, you built countless gorgeous buildings without any strategic significance, and built strategic fortresses to protect these buildings. When you put those After the educated youth is sent to all parts of the world, with the sound of Tariq's gunshot, all your plans will be realized, right?"
Looking at Zhou Li who analyzed everything he had done, Louis XVI smiled.
"Although you are not an artist, you
But you have the ability to see beauty. "
Louis XVI stared at Zhou Li, not hiding the appreciation in his eyes, "Congratulations, you answered all the questions correctly except for one small question."
"question?"
Zhou Li raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What's the problem?"
"The Tariq I originally imagined was a country where the elite completely rules over the common people."
Looking at Evan, Louis XVI said with an unclear expression: "My initial concept is that all ignorant civilians can only be tools of the elite. They cannot have their own consciousness and ideas because they are stupid. Their Ideas only hold back the elite."
"But later, I gave up the idea."
"oh?"
Zhou Li sat up straight and asked with interest, "Why did you give up?"
"human nature."
Without looking away from Evan, Louis XVI began to answer Zhou Li's question, "I can't guarantee that the elite will not corrupt into the insects of the Tsarist Empire, so I chose checks and balances."
"Let the stupid commoners gain knowledge so they can stand up and point out the errors of the elite when they fall into decay."
"Where's the Radiant Crystal?"
Zhou Li's eyes reflected the figure of Louis XVI, but in his mind, he had already pieced everything together.
"This is my rite of passage for Tariq."
Louis XVI stretched out his finger and gently turned it in a circle, and said calmly and proudly: "A coming-of-age gift that allows ordinary people and professionals to reason properly."
Everything clicked.
Zhou Li looked at Evan, smiled and asked him, "How are you? Do you feel complicated?"
"You should be the biggest class enemy, but you single-handedly planned the birth of Tariq, and even determined the direction of Tariq's development for you. Thinking about it now, do you think it's ridiculous?"
"It's really ridiculous..."
Among these people, the only one who found it difficult to accept what Zhou Li said was Evan.
"Now I feel as if everything Mr. Tarik Vladimir has done has been vetoed."
"Why do you say that, boy?"
Upon hearing this, the first person to ask questions was Louis XVI. He frowned and asked in confusion: "Tariq is my most valued gem. Everything he does is perfect. Why was he rejected?"
"Ah."
Evan smiled bitterly, his expression a little gloomy, "It just feels like everything Mr. Tariq has done has been arranged by others, and all his efforts have been denied."
Staring at Evan's handsome but bitter face, Louis XVI burst into laughter after a moment.
"I guess you have been helping your father handle government affairs, and you have to look at everything from the perspective of profit, right?"
Before the surprised Evan could say anything, Louis XVI continued with a smile:
"Tarik Vladimir is not my work of art."
"His life, resume, experience, knowledge and his ideas have nothing to do with me. If there is a connection between us, then the only possibility is that Tariq overthrew my empire, that's all. "
"But everything he did was in your plan, even the radiance crystal was yours..."
Just as Evan was speaking halfway, Louis XVI interrupted him by waving his hand with a smile.
"Do you know why my original plan was to have the elite completely dominate the civilian class?"
"Your origin?"
Evan asked confused.
"No, it's because of Tariq."
Louis XVI gave an answer that shocked Evan, "The reason why I initially trusted the elite so much to lead Tariq's civilian class to defeat the real name is because of the existence of Tariq Vladimir." Gave me confidence. I thought this country could produce more Vladimirs, but
I finally understood that there was only one Tariq, and the elite would be corrupted sooner or later, so I changed my plan and let the commoners take their place. "
"You have to understand that it was not the era that created Tariq, but Tariq created an era. If it were not for his wisdom and ability, I am afraid that the fall of the Tsarist Empire would not have been as easy as Tariq did. He is a hero , is a hero that even I admire. If my art has set up a framework, then Tariq has perfectly filled this framework with flesh and blood."
"What I admire most about Tariq is that he has achieved eternity."
"But he's already dead."
Now Evan is somewhat paranoid. The truth brought to him by Louis XVI subverts his previously constructed values and worldview. "Gods cannot exist forever, and Mr. Tariq is only a human being."
"His spirit is immortal."
Turning the coins in his hand, Louis XVI glanced at Evan, who looked confused but understood something, and said with a faint smile: "In Tariq, most people will not remember that person who was there five thousand years ago. The artist created the first poem, but they all learned from Tariq's legacy and kept his spirit alive."
"This is also an art, isn't it?"
Evan was silent, and then he realized that he was wrong.
Indeed, everything Tariq did was within Louis XVI's plan, and he also received Louis XVI's help without leaving any trace. But his spirit and thoughts are his own, which he realized after experiencing the sufferings of the world and seeing countless wives and children separated. No one can give him these, only Tariq himself can.
"Actually, Tariq and I met once."
There was a look of memories in Louis XVI's eyes, and he said with some emotion: "At that time, he and I could see each other's thoughts and knew what each other wanted to say. But because there were so many people at the time, we There wasn’t much communication. I was afraid that he would be lost in Jianguo and forget about God, so I reminded him a few words. And he heard it and gave me a response."
At this time, Evan remembered the image that the founding father Tariq saved in the Brave Guild.
"Congratulations, you won the whole country."
"Win this rotten kingdom built on the corpse of a god."
"I don't hate you, on the contrary, I am grateful to you. Because you will soon know the desperate truth you will face."
"I give you a piece of advice from the heart as your senior."
"Pleasure, pleasure, and corruption, this is the only way your empire can survive. Put away your aggressiveness, and never forget that what you step on is the rotting corpse of a god."
This video was entrusted to the Brave Guild by Tariq. No one is allowed to view this footage except successive kings of Tariq. In fact, this is very abnormal. As the fall of a kingdom, whether it is to stabilize people's hearts or leave a historical memorial, the death of Tsar XVI should also be made public.
In this video, Tsar XVI does not look like a subjugated king at all. On the contrary, he acted very calmly. There was no anger or despair in the eyes he looked at Tarik. He was laughing and crying. Even when he uttered that piece of advice, this monarch known for his mediocrity and tyranny only had sincerity in his eyes, a frightening sincerity.
Evan had never understood before why a king of a kingdom would advise newcomers like this, but now, he understands.
It was a tacit understanding between the king and the revolutionaries, nothing more.
"Huh~"
After a long time, Evan closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to realize something. When he opened his eyes again, the original doubts and fears disappeared, replaced by the peace of the past, "You only care about art, right?"
"That's right."
Louis XVI nodded.
"The biggest difference between Tariq and me is that everything I do is to complete my art, and everything Tariq does is for his."
Regarding what he had done, Louis XVI admitted it without hesitation, "I don't care how many people are planned to die or how many people will leave."
Zisan. I'm just an artist, but I never said I was a good king, or even a good person. "
"I don't care about civilians, I don't care about humans, and I don't care about human shackles or the conspiracies of gods. The only thing I care about is whether my perfect art can be realized."
Louis XVI's frankness was staggering, but Evan was not angry because of his words, nor did he accuse Louis XVI of his disregard for human life. He just took a deep look at Louis XVI who was controlling Hathaway's body, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Louis William."
"Everything you do will appear fairly in the history books. At that time, whether future generations will regard you as a genius lunatic who relies on his own righteousness, or Tariq's secret savior, that will be your own business. "
Evan stood up and bowed deeply to Louis XVI. At this time, he is not a politician, but an ordinary person who inherits Tariq's spirit.
"This is my way of expressing my gratitude to you."
"Thank you for allowing Tariq to build on prosperity."
Louis XVI was stunned. This man, who had always been sure of victory and seemed to have everything under his control, showed a surprised look for the first time.
For a long time, he smiled, a little bitterly, but also a little relieved.
"With you, even if I had done nothing, the Tsarist Empire would have fallen."
