"What do you mean?"
Chen Guang's expression changed drastically, and he stared at Wu Sheng with a pair of tiger eyes, full of disbelief.
"Brother Chen Guangda, let's just make ourselves a king just for fun. It's just to create a little momentum."
Wu Sheng said seriously: "I really want to be the emperor, but how many pounds do we have? When it comes to prestige and reputation, who can compare with Mo Qiu? When it comes to troops and money, who can rival Huang Chao? When it comes to the background of rebellion? And inheritance, who can be better than the leader of the White Lotus? Brother Chen Guangda, it’s not that I don’t support you, but we ourselves have to think about it, why is it my turn to be the emperor?”
These words can be described as sincere.
Even if it is a rebellion, the facts cannot be ignored.
You have no reputation, no one in the army, and low qualifications. You can't say you want to rebel, so you are the emperor, right? There are too many emperors in the world!
"So... you never thought you would succeed from the beginning?"
Chen Guang's face darkened and his voice trembled.
Although I was very angry, I couldn't find any reason to refute.
But I felt very unhappy, very unhappy, as if I had eaten a bowl of flies while eating, and only the first two chopsticks were considered delicious.
This feeling definitely makes people unhappy.
"How to succeed?"
Wu Sheng asked back, "Even if we put aside these things, let's just talk about personal strength. Leaders Mo Qiu, Huang Chao, and Bai Lian are all martial arts masters, martial arts masters! Without a strong person of the same level to protect them, they are sitting on a dragon. What about the chair?”
This is a very real problem.
Throughout the past dynasties, looking at the late emperors who successfully overthrew the previous dynasty and ascended to the throne, most of them were martial arts masters themselves. Even if they were not, they definitely had the full support of the martial arts masters behind them!
It’s true that it’s not easy for a grandmaster to be the enemy of thousands of people. The problem is that it’s too easy for a grandmaster to kill someone!
When a person's personal power reaches the level of a martial arts master, things like national laws can no longer be controlled. Once he shamelessly abandons his benevolence and morality, everyone will have a headache.
"."
Chen Guang was speechless for a moment, his lips moved slightly, but he could not speak. Hearing the sounds of fighting and roaring all over the mountains and plains, thousands of thoughts flooded into his mind.
His sweet dream was finally shattered.
Chen Guang was speechless for a long time.
Wu Sheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Brother Chen Guangda, don't feel too bad. What kind of life did we live before the rebellion? What kind of life are we living now? People always have to be satisfied! It's always fun to be content, isn't it? A while ago, you even took in several concubines, and they were all daughters of wealthy families. How could it be our turn to enjoy them before? Life now is good enough."
"Don't tell me this!"
Chen Guang waved his hands angrily. He didn't know where his anger came from, but it just came from his heart. "In that case, why did you persuade me to rebel in the first place?!"
In the end, the target of his anger was placed on Wu Sheng's head.
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Wu Sheng pointed to the sea of people rushing towards the imperial mausoleum all over the mountains and plains, "How could we have so many people if we didn't rebel? With hundreds or thousands of people hiding in mountain dens, we would be hungry twice in three days. Who wants to live such a life? Anyway, if you are caught by the government, you will die, so if you want to do something big, just do it big!"
"So... you never thought you would succeed from the beginning?"
Chen Guang understood.
"Of course it won't work! Unless, brother, you can be promoted to a martial arts master. But you guessed that you just started training Zang not long ago, and you are still several years away from being a master of Zang training. Even if you can be promoted to a master, how long will it take? It will take at least a dozen Year!
Can this war last for more than ten years? impossible! Even if Mo Qiu, Huang Chao and White Lotus Leaders are gone, no longer fighting, and dead, the final winner will be the Four Nations Alliance. "
Wu Sheng said with certainty.
This is a very real problem. Born in poor families, they embarked on the path of learning martial arts by chance. How could they be healthy when they had no money to buy nourishing medicines and even food to eat? Practice martial arts?
Even if we are in troubled times, taking the opportunity to stir up troubles is still acceptable. If we really want to guide the world's situation, that is far from qualified!
Look at the entire Big Moon. Who are the people who can create a big scene and are talked about and stir up troubles?
Leader Mo Qiu, Huang Chao, and White Lotus! No matter how bad it is, it will still be the Dayue Temple.
Can it be compared?
I don’t know how to compare!
They really don't have that ability!
Even if they are given another three, five, or even ten years, even if they have a smooth journey, it will not be enough for them to reach the master level!
The foundation is far from enough, how can you reach the sky in one step? Even storytellers dare not brag like this.
"Brother, think about it carefully. Is what I said wrong? I know you feel uncomfortable, but it's better to talk about these things earlier. Stop thinking about it."
Wu Sheng comforted him.
"Then what are we doing?"
Chen Guang was at a loss. At this moment, he really didn't know the meaning of everything he did.
It turns out that from beginning to end, his rebellion, his claiming the throne, and his efforts were a complete joke.
I'm afraid he is the only one, immersed in the dream of success.
And these people around him are far more realistic and smarter than him, and they have thought of these problems in advance.
"Robbing the imperial mausoleum! All the treasures are buried here. If you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, you won't be able to get a hot bite by the time others think of it!"
Wu Sheng said matter-of-factly.
"Then what?"
Chen Guang continued to ask.
"Then we will have money! Once we have money, we can live a good life! No matter who wants to be the emperor in the future, we have such a large group of people, and we will join whoever can succeed. Why not we can also mix in Just sit in an official position? Being an official and having money, isn’t that enough?”
Wu Sheng said immediately.
"Do you think others will leave these things to you?"
Chen Guang swallowed a mouthful of saliva for some reason and felt his heart become cold.
"Who said we took it all away? Brother Chen Guangda, why can't you turn around! Let's hold the stolen money for the time being. When someone can secure the big treasure, we will offer it to you, 70% of it. ! The remaining ones are enough for us to be prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime!"
Wu Sheng said with a smile.
"Give 70%?"
"certainly!"
"We worked so hard and so many brothers died just to give this 70%?!"
Chen Guang's fists were clenched tightly.
"It's good to be able to donate seven, but I'm afraid they won't accept it then, and maybe we'll have to take our stuff to another country!"
Wu Sheng shrugged, "We still have to see what kind of talent the future new emperor is."
"ha"
Chen Guang laughed and burst out laughing. The laughter was long and fierce, with unspeakable sadness, anger and helplessness. "It turns out that after working hard for so long and gathering so many brothers, in the end I have to be a beggar!"
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Wu Sheng was very unhappy, "There are so many people who want to eat, so why not!"
Chen Guang looked at Wu Sheng quietly.
Not giving in to each other.
After a long time, Chen Guang squatted down slumped, his originally tall body shrinking into a ball.
It turns out that after working so hard for so long, it’s really ridiculous that in the end it’s just to be a beggar!
No wonder those people would attack their own people.
The group will break up in the end anyway, and they only get together for money and livelihood. If they grab the money in advance, they can naturally find their own livelihood. After all, what is so attractive about him? You can't just rely on one sentence: "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind"!
Ha, princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed.
Finally, is it the mud-legged man’s turn to take charge?
He should figure it out.
Really boring.
"Don't forget, in the beginning, you just wanted to survive."
Someone came to them and spoke calmly.
Chen Guang suddenly raised his head.
Gong Shangguo stood in front of him and said so.
Only then did Chen Guang remember that there was such a person in his gang.
Fair enough.
This former young master has changed a lot. Since he left and came back, he has become taciturn. He just follows them quietly, looks at them, and never makes any comments.
Most of the time, he didn't speak. Occasionally he would be in a daze. When asked what he wanted or what he wanted to do, he just shook his head and just stayed there silently. Over time, Chen Guang would even forget that there was such a thing. No. 1 exists.
But today he came over.
Seeing Gong Shangguo, the first scene of their acquaintance flooded into my mind. At that time, everyone was just a group of people fleeing for safety. They dared to go to the official road to rob in order to have a mouthful of food.
"I"
Chen Guang didn't know what to say for a while.
Why did everything change without realizing it?
What makes all this happen?
"The greed in people's hearts is endless. In the beginning, it was just for a bite of food. Later, when there was food to eat, I thought better. The world is difficult, so you have to gather more people to gain strength. The more people you gather, Other thoughts also arise. Since everyone is rebelling, why can’t I?
What about after the rebellion? Burning, killing, looting, and plundering, life became better, and he wanted more things. He began to be dissatisfied with having enough food, clothing, and wives and concubines, so he attacked several cities and then became king. Now that he has become king, it seems that he is only one step away from becoming emperor, right? "
Gong Shangguo stared at Chen Guang, stared at Wu Sheng, and seemed to be staring at the entire world that once belonged to Dayue.
How many people in the world still have such thoughts?
When they first rose up, their justice was impeccable. This was the cry of a group of ordinary people who had been oppressed to the point where they could no longer bear it and had no way to survive, before dying of hunger, cold, hardship, and exhaustion.
However, Chen Guang and Wu Sheng were lucky. They did not die on the way like other people, but continued to move forward for various reasons.
Gong Shangguo came back at that time.
He watched the transformation of the two of them with his own eyes, and also saw with his own eyes how these people became what they are today step by step.
The greed in the human heart is endless and never satisfied.
When you can't survive, you can just look forward to a full meal; after you have a full meal, you want to live a better life; after living a good life, you want more things, and eventually it becomes completely different from the beginning step by step.
At this time, for the real people at the bottom of Otsuki, there is not much difference between them and the four-nation coalition.
The biggest difference is probably that there are still some people at the bottom who can join them.
Gong Shang agreed that "Princes, generals, and prime ministers would rather have their own kind." Even though he had the blood of the Dayue royal family and was destined to miss the new dynasty, he still wanted to do something.
If Mo Qiu wanted to enlighten the people, he would go to the lowest level and see how far these people at the lowest level could achieve step by step after they mastered the power.
If we can gain enough experience and lessons from it, we might not be able to summarize it and use it as a new gift for the new dynasty in the future, using the people as a mirror.
"I"
Chen Guang opened his mouth with a painful expression.
Even Wu Sheng was speechless for a moment, unable to make any sense.
Gong Shang had seen them when they were at their most desolate, and he also saw them driving their men to attack the imperial tomb.
There was a gap of more than seven years, and everything changed.
Chen Guang and Wu Sheng are no longer the original Chen Guang and Wu Sheng.
"It was only then that I realized that the most brilliant thing about Brother Mo was not coming up with the Ten Meanings of the Mohist Family, but the very first sentence."
Gong Shangguo didn't need their explanation, and he didn't need to explain anything. He just said to himself, "Promote the benefits of the world and eliminate the harms of the world."
In this world, the benefits in the world are worthy of praise, and the harms in the world must be eliminated.
But the problem is that many people cannot see the interests of the world, or even if they see it, they would rather go against the interests of the world for some personal interests.
All harm comes from this.
"There is only one kind of justice in the world, which is to live, but there are countless kinds of evil that stem from the desire to live a better life."
Gong Shangguo had been thinking hard for seven years alone, and only now did he truly understand Mo Qiu's thoughts.
Then he asked again: "Do you want to be the emperor? Don't talk about the situation, the force, or the background. Can you promote those who are capable and demote them if they are incompetent? Can you make it possible for officials to be noble and people to be humble? Can we educate the people and make the government enlightened?"
Chen Guang was speechless.
He just wants to be emperor.
Yes, just thinking.
What happens after you become a pawn?
have no idea.
He was still complaining that Wu Sheng was too realistic before, but if his dream comes true, what will happen next?
There is no after, because he didn't think about it carefully.
It seems that as long as he ascends the throne, everything will be fine, and no matter how bad things go, he can still live like Emperor Zongming.
So when faced with Gong Shangguo's questioning, he couldn't give his own answer.
He can't even manage more than 10,000 people, so how can he manage a country?
Is it too realistic to just complain in your heart about the brother who lived and died with you?
Or are you still dissatisfied?
Chen Guang's eyes were filled with confusion.
It's not that the outcome has been predetermined, but that from the beginning, he was never ready to truly conquer the world, and he never worked hard for the slightest expectation in his heart.
Even if the situation hits you in the face and takes the opportunity to stir up some trouble, it is destined to be impossible to truly succeed.
Ask first if it’s worthy, then if it’s okay.
Is he worthy?
This answer is already in my heart.
"Hey, is there anyone else who attacks the imperial mausoleum before me? Who is so bold? Come out and show me."
In the silence, a voice resounded in the sky, overwhelming the noise around him.
Someone, an old god, was walking across the river, and a lotus flower bloomed.
