Qiming 1158

Chapter 1003 So, I should promise, shouldn't I?

Su Yonglin was right.

Lu You thought so after reading Hong Wu's political theory.

The people at the bottom do not have knowledge, and their spontaneous resistance, except for very few exceptions, can basically only reach the level of riots, and it is difficult to achieve the real purpose of anti-oppression and exploitation.

At this time, someone needs to show them a clear way.

The bright road does not exist in the first place. It needs someone to discover, guide, and lead them across thousands of mountains and rivers, and then they can go on.

And such people often come from the upper classes, only they can learn, think independently, first discover the hypocrisy of the dynasty's culture, take the lead in breaking free from the shackles of ideology, and finally come to the correct answer, and then lead the people.

This is really too high for the needs of individuals, almost the limit that a person's ideological awareness can achieve.

They were originally the beneficiaries, and they were originally high-ranking beings. They didn’t have to worry about life. They could enjoy a luxurious life.

But they did not indulge in it, but resolutely walked to the opposite side of the ruling class, turned around, stood with the oppressed, and led them to fight.

It takes more than courage.

So Lu You was silent for a while before slowly raising his head and looking at Su Yonglin.

"Is His Majesty such a person?"

"I said no, Mr. Wuguan, do you believe it?"

Lu You shook his head.

"I don't believe it, if His Majesty was not such a person, the Ming Kingdom would not be what it is today."

"Yes, if I were not such a person, the Ming Kingdom would only be a slightly stronger Song Kingdom, and there would never be anything like what it is today. I will make the Ming Kingdom stronger, but this strength is based on the oppression of the people and the on the basis of exploitation.

You will see farmers who have fields to cultivate, but you will never see the sincere smiles on their faces. You can see farmers and workers doing their jobs honestly, but they must be supervised by soldiers with weapons and whips. The beginning of the founding of the country is no different in all dynasties. "

Su Yonglin said slowly: "If I can't make changes, the country I build will at most be the next Li Tang. Although Li Tang is strong, he will still follow the old path of the past dynasties. I don't want to build such a country.

If so, why should I leave the Southern Dynasty?I will directly take the imperial examinations in the Southern Dynasty and become an official, be a high-ranking person, and enjoy the glory and wealth, isn't it good?I directly go boating on the West Lake with the scholar-officials, blowing the warm West Lake wind, isn't it good? "

Lu You thought about such a scene, and felt that such a scene was unusually vivid, as if it could jump out of his mind and become real.

This is all too likely.

He let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty's thoughts are very human."

Su Yonglin smiled.

"I have a feeling, Mr. Wuguan, that you are also such a person."

"I?"

Lu You smiled bitterly and said, "Why does Your Majesty say that? I'm just an incompetent person. When the Jin Kingdom was still there, I couldn't help the Great Song Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. Now that the Jin Kingdom is gone, I don't know how to make the Great Song change. To be stronger and let the farmers suffer less, I am just an incompetent person who complains and feels sorry for himself.”

Lu You recalled the past and often deeply hated his incompetence.

When I was young, I couldn't keep my wife, and I was separated from my lover. It was painful for half my life. When I was middle-aged, I couldn't implement my ideals.

In the middle of the night, he often sighed and shed tears, hating his incompetence, his cowardice and cowardice.

When he was depressed, Su Yonglin stepped forward and reached out to hold Lu You's hand.

"You're not incompetent, you just haven't found what you can do, you haven't found an organization that can maximize your talents."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Everyone who can awaken, everyone who can take this step, is a brave person, and how can a brave person be incompetent?"

Su Yonglin smiled: "The Southern Dynasty cannot use you, it is the loss of the Southern Dynasty, and Daming welcomes you, Mr. Wuguan, although you are not from the Central Plains, I believe that you can find a career in Daming that you are willing to pay for. You are willing to join Daming The court?"

Su Yonglin began to formally solicit Lu You.

Lu You's mood is very complicated.

He is obviously more than ten years older than Su Yonglin, and he is obviously old enough to be Su Yonglin's father, but at this moment, he feels that Su Yonglin's aura has completely covered him, and he has become a completely unspeakable person in front of Su Yonglin. People who don't want to say no.

He felt that Su Yonglin's body was glowing, and he became a creature with this primitive phototaxis, and he had no power to resist this kind of light.

He had a strange urge.

It was as if a voice came from the depths of his soul, and this voice told him that he should accept it, and he should accept it no matter what, because it was the right choice, and after making this choice, his life will be completely different from the past.

The education he received since childhood told him to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and the education he received since childhood also told him to pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality. However, he found that there was a serious conflict between loyalty and patriotism and benevolence and morality. The court is sinful.

This court preached loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, but its behavior was similar to that of the most savage bandits. It treated its people as oxen and horses, and did not care about their lives at all.

Is this righteousness?

Is this what the king and court to whom I am loyal will do?

Is what I'm doing really right?
Of course it's wrong.

In this country, there is only the word [hypocrisy] left.

On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty never preached Confucian moral concepts, never preached slogans such as filial piety, and never raised morality to an unattainable level, but what they did was full of human touch.

The warmth between people, the trust between the government and the people, is something he has never seen before.

Only by allegiance to such a king and country can we truly practice the concept of benevolence and righteousness?
In a country like this, what he learns is not a conflicting joke, is it?
Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are not just decorations here, right?
So, I should say yes, no?

Lu You looked into Su Yonglin's eyes.

He almost agreed.

However, in the next instant, he thought of his family still in the Southern Song Dynasty, his wife, son, and a large family of clansmen, all of which were bonds that he could not give up.

They are all still in the Southern Song Dynasty, in that cold country.

Although it was cold there, there were still his family, his hometown, and his best friends.

His departure will bring them devastating damage, which he cannot do no matter what.

So he slowly lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and slowly shook his head.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the foreign ministers for not being able to promise you."

"Is it because of family and friends?"

Su Yonglin didn't let go of his hand and saw through his heart.

Lu You pursed his lips and nodded.

"The family is still there, and the friends are also officials in the court. How can the foreign ministers put them in a dangerous situation?"

"If you want, I can arrange for someone to bring them, just like me back then, leaving from the Southern Dynasty."

Su Yonglin said: "This is not difficult for me, Lin'an City, I can go there if I want, and leave if I want to leave, not to mention other places, I can guarantee that your family and friends will not suffer any harm.

In Daming, you can live together, walk around, take a look, and have a deep understanding of what we are doing, and understand the society of Daming, I think you will quickly find what you are willing to do. "

Lu You seriously thought about Su Yonglin's proposal.

After a while, he raised his head, the hesitation and confusion on his face disappeared.

"Your Majesty's good intentions are accepted by the foreign ministers, but the foreign ministers feel that it may not be the right way to leave the Song country. The foreign ministers not only have family members and clansmen, but also many friends in the country of Song, and the friends also have their own friends and family.

Foreign ministers put them in danger with the thought of one person, cut off their future, and put their lives at risk. This is an unkind and unrighteous behavior, and foreign ministers will never do this kind of thing.

Moreover, the foreign ministers are not willing to let His Majesty do so many things for their own selfishness. It is not worthwhile for the warriors in Song to take risks for the personal affairs of the foreign ministers. "

Lu You bowed to Su Yonglin and politely declined Su Yonglin's proposal.
