Chapter 1004 Never be an enemy of Daming

Regarding Lu You's refusal, Su Yonglin had to admit that he was right.

And there is another point, even if people can bring it back, their thoughts may not be the same.

Lu You, his family, and his friends may not have the same thoughts, and they may not be able to understand each other, and it is not a good thing to bring it forcibly.

His family may be able to understand, but not his friends. How many of his friends who are officials and scholars can accept revolutionary ideas?
Even Lu You himself still has doubts about violent revolution.

From Su Yonglin's point of view, his ideological tendency is to sympathize with the people at the bottom, resent the cruel rule of the old ruling class over the people, and deplore the tragic experience of the people at the bottom, but he lacks the will to resist and overthrow the current system.

Lu You is more inclined to negotiation, prefers to take the road of moderate improvement, avoids breakage and war between each other, and advocates promoting the policy of the Ming Dynasty that is beneficial to the people's livelihood under the premise of peace.

It depends on his origin and his past experience.

The bureaucrats in his eyes are different from the bureaucrats in the eyes of the people at the bottom. The bureaucrats in his eyes are good and bad, corrupt officials and stalwarts who shine with the brilliance of humanity.

The people at the bottom generally do not have access to stalwart scholar-bureaucrats, and can only contact the petty officials who are doing things.

This gap in cognition is the reason why Lu You's ideological tendencies are softer and more conservative.

Forcibly bringing Lu You, his family and friends under such circumstances will only bring them unnecessary pain and suffering.

As the first Southern Song official who was partially awakened and even volunteered to reveal information to the Ming Kingdom because of his identification with his thoughts, the significance of Lu You does not lie in his own value.

It was his appearance that told Su Yonglin that the officials in the Southern Song Dynasty had already been divided, although he himself did not deliberately launch a division offensive against the Southern Song Dynasty, although the division was not so obvious at this moment.

But since the first Lu You appeared, it is not impossible for the second and third Lu You to appear.

His political and ideological offensive not only united the conservatives and diehards in the ruling class of the Southern Song Dynasty to jump higher, but also gradually awakened the reformists and the radicals among the reformists.

Given time, it is not impossible for the Ming army to appear completely anti-establishment revolutionaries within it before the Ming army goes south.

This is a good thing.

Every time there is one more comrade, there is one less enemy, and victory will come one day earlier.

So Su Yonglin didn't say anything, just smiled and expressed his understanding.

"I know, if Mr. Wuguan is unwilling, I will not force this matter. Everything is based on Mr. Wuguan's wishes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

Lu You smiled and said, "Although I can't serve His Majesty by His Majesty's side, after this incident, foreign ministers may not be able to serve Song State wholeheartedly, especially those things that persecute the peasants. this kind of thing.

In addition, although the State of Song made a big mistake, the foreign ministers also received salaried and cared for them, and directly became enemies with them. The foreign ministers could not do it. can go.

Of course, foreign ministers will also try their best to persuade friends to understand all of this, so that they will not be enemies with His Majesty and the Ming Kingdom. In this way, when His Majesty's army goes south to clear the filth and restore the world to a brighter world, if His Majesty does not give up, the foreign ministers would like to Serving His Majesty. "

Lu You took a few steps back and bowed towards Su Yonglin: "The foreign minister is ignorant and cannot accept His Majesty's kindness. I hope His Majesty will forgive you!"

Su Yonglin looked at Lu You in front of him, was silent for a while, and reached out to support him.

"You are not guilty, all this is your own choice, you have the right to choose, I will not force you to do what you do not want to do, at the same time, I will continue to do what I think is right, and will not stop my progress."

Lu You straightened up, a look of guilt on his face.

"Your Majesty treats you so frankly, but the foreign ministers can't reciprocate, it's really..."

Su Yonglin smiled and stopped him from continuing.

"Mr. Wuguan, if you can be so frank with me, it is worth my frankness to you, and even if you go back, it is not that you can't hold on to your beliefs and believe in your path. As you said, you can put you in the Tell your friends what Daming saw.

You can let them know what has happened in Daming, what has changed, what is different from the Southern Dynasty, what has been done well, and what is still lacking, so that they can also realize the hypocrisy of this mutant Confucianism.

In this way, even if we cannot fight side by side, Mr. Wuguan stands with us. Although we are thousands of miles apart, we are not separated. Our common beliefs always connect us, no matter the ends of the earth. "

Su Yonglin said with a smile.

In Lu You's eyes, the brilliance of his body is even more dazzling and attractive.

So Lu You's eyes turned red.

His nose was sore, and he was busy trying not to let the tears fall, but he held back the tears, but he couldn't control his excitement.

A feeling of being dead for a confidant haunted him.

"Even if you can't serve your Majesty now, you will never do anything against the Ming Kingdom. Your Majesty will go through fire and water whenever you need it, and your foreign ministers will do whatever you can!"

Su Yonglin nodded.

"If so, it is the best result."

Lu You was in a turbulent mood, and finally could not restrain his emotions, so tears flowed uncontrollably, crying bitterly, not knowing whether he was regretting the wasted first half of his life, or excited for the second half of his life that he was destined to do.

Although he can't work for Daming now, Lu You still proposed that he would like to know more about Daming, Su Yonglin and his philosophy of governing the country, and hope to know what Ming is doing and the idea of ​​social reform.

He wanted to have an in-depth understanding of what was going on in the Ming Kingdom, the process of eradicating the rentier class in the Ming Kingdom, and how much damage the rentier class had brought to the country, etc.

He wanted to know a lot, and he couldn't finish it in a while, so Su Yonglin took a sample book of the second volume of "Hongwu Political Theory" that he had completed but not yet published in the world and handed it over to Lu You.

When Lu You saw this, he was greatly surprised.

"The foreign ministers still don't know that the second volume of Hongwu's political commentary has been published in the Ming Kingdom!"

"This is a sample book that has not yet been published in the world. It was originally planned to be officially published in the first month of the fifth year of Hongwu. Since Mr. Wuguan needs it, then Mr. Wuguan should read it first. This volume is mainly about using a new way of thinking to govern the country. I also ask Mr. Wu Guan to correct his ideas and achievements.”

"Don't dare! As long as you can read such a strange book, Sansheng is lucky!"

Because he was too excited, Lu You's hands trembled slightly while holding the book.

Su Yonglin smiled.

"Since Mr. Wuguan likes books, it's very good, but I'm afraid it's hard to hide if I bring too much. Let me give Mr. Wuguan a contact information. After Mr. Wuguan returns to Lin'an, he can find that person. He will arrange for him to provide you with the latest books published by the Ming Kingdom."

Lu You heard the words and smiled bitterly.

"I don't know how many eyeliners there are in Lin'an City..."

"It's a common occurrence. I have eyeliner in Lin'an, don't Nanchao have eyeliner in Zhongdu? There must be."

Lu You thought about it for a while, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.

This kind of thing, I am afraid it can be said to be an open secret, just one or two eyeliners, nothing surprising.

But the key problem is that Su Yonglin's arrangement in Lin'an is not just one or two eyeliners.

Su Yonglin handed Su Changsheng's contact information to Lu You, and asked Lu You to go to Beiguolou, a high-end restaurant in Lin'an City, to find the shopkeeper if he had something to do.

In recent years, Su Changsheng has developed well in the Southern Song Dynasty, and has made some small achievements.

For example, the business that was originally limited to Jiaxing Prefecture has been expanded into Lin'an Prefecture, into Lin'an City, and the best mutton restaurant in Lin'an City.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the upper class of the Song Dynasty liked mutton very much, and the meat was respected by mutton. However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, because of the loss of the trade channel with the north, the way to obtain mutton was extremely simple, and mutton dishes did not flourish.

However, after Su Changsheng opened the Beiguo Building in Lin'an City, the situation changed.
