Chapter 608 They Treat Alang as Liu Bang?
Although Su Yonglin made a very strange request, which shocked many people of insight, he still wanted to be an emperor.

"People of insight" all know that once he becomes the emperor, there are many things that he cannot help himself.

Right now, I want to give him the throne, give him the emperor's name, confirm this fact to him, and the rest is not important.

Therefore, Su Yonglin wants some people to accept the established facts, and some people also want Su Yonglin to accept the established facts. Both sides have their own plans, and Su Yonglin's calling the emperor the emperor is the greatest common denominator that both parties can accept.

Su Yonglin's request and the courtiers' compromise were only regarded as an episode before the proclamation of the emperor, and were soon robbed of the limelight by the enthronement ceremony.

On September 29, Zhao Zuoliang and Mrs. Zhao hurried to Zhongdu. The family was finally reunited. Zhao Xirui had a lot to say to her parents.

So Su Yonglin gave them time and space, and went back to the study to handle official business. After a while, he felt that he had something to say, so he sent someone to call Tian Guizi.

After a while, Tian Guizi came.

"Alang, I... No, Your Majesty, the minister is here."

Su Yonglin put down the pen and smiled.

"In the Song Kingdom, Emperor Zhao would not ask his subjects to call him His Majesty in private, nor would he call himself "I" in private.

Since the Song Kingdom can do this, there is no need for us to be in strict order here. In private, just call me Alang. It sounds kind and won't let me forget where I came from.

Sometimes I will suddenly care, and I count how many people will call me Alang. Until now, there are fewer and fewer people who will call me Alang. Guizi, don't stop calling me Alang. "

Tian Guizi laughed when he heard the words.

"Since Alang is willing, of course I have no choice. It is really kind to shout like this, just like when we were still talking on the salt boat in our hometown in Jiangnan, it seems that nothing has changed."

"Hahaha, that's right, this is the Guizi in my memory, but if I really want to say it, it's only three or four years ago. Nearly four years ago, we were still shipping private salt to the southeast coast to sell. .

Risking their lives, earning money that was exchanged for their lives, and facing attacks from other private salt dealers at any time, as well as attacks from officers and soldiers in those places at any time. "

Su Yonglin smiled and walked over to Tian Guizi and patted him on the shoulder.

"By the way, Guizi, how long have you been with me until today?"

"It has been 17 years since I was rescued by Alang's family when I was seven years old."

"Yes, you are a year older than me."

Su Yonglin nodded and said slowly: "We have lost a lot of old brothers and friends along the way. They didn't live to see this day as we did. I feel a pity, I really want them to be with us. To see this day, but it will never be possible.”

"If they knew that Alang used Ming as a national title to commemorate them, they would be very happy."

Tian Guizi looked at Su Yonglin, pursed his lips and smiled, "Alang has not forgotten them, they will be very happy, very happy."

"How could I forget them? How dare I forget them? To forget them, wouldn't it mean betrayal of our ideals? How could I do such a thing?"

Su Yonglin bypassed Tian Guizi, walked to the gate of the palace, and said, "Guzi, you know why I said that I will not be the emperor but the emperor, and they did not object to me, but silently accepted it and held the enthronement ceremony for me. ?"

Tian Guizi walked to Su Yonglin's side and frowned for a while.

"As the saying goes, small intolerance leads to big plans. Perhaps in their opinion, this is a problem that is small enough to endure, and they have other big plans, even more important big plans."

"By the way, they have great plans. You say, what is the great plan they can't give up?"

Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi.

Tian Guizi thought seriously for a while.

"Perhaps it's just like the Song Kingdom, where the emperor and the scholar-officials share the world? They hope to gradually control the important positions of the entire country through temporary patience and pass the imperial examinations, and use this method to achieve their goals."

"It's not just that, is it?"

Su Yonglin said: "They may have a strong confidence, a confidence that they will definitely win, and all my attempts will fail, they believe that they can achieve the final victory, so they don't mind letting me occupy for a while. upper hand."

Tian Guizi's eyes widened.

"Alang, you mean...that group of people know our intentions?"

"How is it possible? What ability do they have to know our intentions? Even if they know, they can't figure out why we do this. They only save others by themselves, and they can't think so far."

Su Yonglin shook his head and said, "They may have regarded me as Liu Bang, and regarded me as a rude man who thinks highly of himself, and even takes off the Confucian scholar's hat to urinate in order to humiliate the Confucian scholar, they may think that I It's overconfidence and doesn't care about anything."

"They treat Alang as Liu Bang?"

Tian Guizi just thought it was ridiculous, shook his head and said: "Liu Bang is certainly the No. Just the next cycle."

"Liu Bang is not the real emperor either. Liu Bang is also a human emperor in a sense. If he is the real emperor, it will not be Dong Zhongshu's turn to engage in the integration of heaven and man."

Su Yonglin said with a smile: "And now, in the eyes of those Confucian scholars, I am the second Liu Bang, who is arrogant and arrogant because the overthrow of the tyranny of the Jin Kingdom went very smoothly. I can imagine that they are already imagining me because The embarrassment of hitting a wall everywhere and having to resort to their plan to salvage the situation."

Tian Guizi was very dissatisfied with this.

"A bunch of fat-headed bastards, self-righteous, sooner or later, we will clear them from beginning to end!"

"That's natural, but until then we have to make sure we don't have a problem."

Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi and asked, "Guizi, we established a new country and became a high-ranking official, but it's not the same as before. In the past few days, have many people you don't know come to visit you at your house?"

"Have."

"Are there any gifts? Did you ask someone to say something nice?"

Tian Guizi nodded.

"Yes, but I don't accept them at all, and I don't say anything nice. I just closed the door and thanked guests, and I definitely don't see them."

"You're doing it right. Some bottom lines can't be broken even if they're just hypocritical. No matter who you are, no matter who you are, the position you hold requires you not to be soft-hearted. You must be selfless."

Su Yonglin turned around and held Tian Guizi's hand: "And this is too difficult."

Tian Guizi was stunned, looked down at Su Yonglin holding his hand, and looked up at the worried look on Su Yonglin's face.

"Alang, are you worried that I can't control myself and forget my heart?"

"Worry, I'm not only worried about you, but also about other people. I will worry about everyone. I will worry that you can't come with me and become my enemy in the middle."

Su Yonglin added strength in his hand: "It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and from luxury to frugality is difficult, once something is done, once that limit is broken, it will become without bottom line, and the deeper and deeper you will be, you will not be able to extricate yourself. , what should I do at that time?"
