Ming Dynasty: Domination of the World from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 371 Smash this corrupt society!

Li Jinglong was stunned on the spot.

Lu Cang's words made him a little paralyzed.

Instinctively, I thought that what Lu Cang said was wrong. I just thought about it in my mind, but I didn't know how to refute it, because if those dynasties were really as good as the scholars praised, whether it was the Qin and Han dynasties, the Sui and Tang dynasties, or the more recent Song and Yuan dynasties, they would not have been destroyed, because the people themselves would have worked hard for these dynasties.

but it is not the truth.

The people had long since discarded these old shells.

They even joined the chaos in the world without hesitation, trying to turn the tide.

It's actually the same in his family.

He recalled some of the things his father had said to him when he was alive, and he also agreed with what Lu Cang said. If they couldn't survive, how many people would risk losing their heads to rebel? This is why his father has always taught them to be sympathetic to the people and to put people's livelihood first.

Now, after hearing Lu Cang's words, he gradually gained some understanding.

Li Jinglong looked at Lu Cang with a complicated expression, secretly praising him: "You may be right, but human nature is like this, and there is nothing we can do about it. However, from what you said, I gradually see what kind of person Xia Zhibai is. He is indeed extraordinary to be able to train a servant like this."

Lu Cang rolled his eyes at Li Jinglong and said, "I am not a servant."

"I am a personal servant."

"And he's a book boy who can do his own thing."

"Servant? Have you ever seen a servant calling his master "big brother"? "

Lu Cang stamped his feet to make them less cold, and then said, "You people have been sitting on the bench for too long, and you don't know the real life of the lower class. You are the only ones who are showing off and making up a bunch of levels, servants, masters, slaves, etc. Most people don't have these things. Neighbors are brothers and fellow villagers. They won't try to be superior to others like you do."

"According to me, this is your low self-esteem."

“Because I don’t have the ability.”

"If you have the ability, you don't need these things at all. You will naturally be admired. Take Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty. He was unrestrained and yet he was so famous and held a high position. He didn't judge people by appearance or family background like others. That's self-confidence."

Li Jinglong laughed.

He smiled and said, "I used to disregard Xia Zhibai, but now I am more and more interested in him. Not only is he brave and smart, he also has a set of unique ideas. But you should not tell others about these ideas. Without this set of levels, how can you show the nobility of the dignitaries?"

He kindly reminded me.

Lu Cang sneered, clenched his fist and said, "Sooner or later, this corrupt society will be smashed to pieces."

Li Jinglong shook his head.

Lu Cang was too immersed in the role.

I'm afraid even Xia Zhibai wouldn't dare to say this. Only a cynical young man like Lu Cang would be indignant.

Think of this.

Li Jinglong was a little dazed.

He is only eighteen years old now, not much older than Lu Cang, but he looks so much older. However, he has no choice. His father died early. If he doesn't mature early, how can he support such a big Li family? How can he stay stable in the court full of crises?
He also misses what it was like when his father was alive.

He once wore fine clothes and rode a horse, and was very arrogant.

He was a dandy for a while.

After experiencing all these ups and downs, he has become more reserved and more capable of handling affairs with ease. He is like a fish in water in the court and is very much loved by His Majesty and His Highness. He also stopped the decline of the Li family.

Who knows the tears in it?

But compared to Xia Zhibai, he is far inferior.

Xia Zhibai is like a bright sun in the Ming Dynasty today. Even if you want to ignore him, you have to see him. This person does not hold a high official position, but his influence is real. Every time he makes a move, people are frightened. He has also made many wild and outrageous remarks.

Some of the things Xia Zhibai said could bring disaster upon him even if he was the Duke of Cao.

As a result, Xia Zhibai was fine and lived a happy life.

This was something he had envied for a long time.

Only when I really came into contact with Xia Zhibai did I feel how terrifying this person is. This person really dares to think and act, and is not afraid of death. He dares to say anything, join in any fun, and want to do everything. What's more, what he says makes a lot of sense.

It makes one angry, but at the same time one can't help but think that it makes sense.

But he couldn't figure out what Xia Zhibai wanted to do. Even if the world was really as he wanted and changed according to his ideas, what would it become? Could it really enter the so-called Great Harmony Society?

He didn't believe it.

The idea of ​​a harmonious society is just wishful thinking.

He couldn't even imagine what the world would become after all this was implemented.

He couldn't figure it out.

It was completely beyond his imagination.

The only thing he was sure of was that there would definitely be a lot of people who wanted Xia Zhibai dead, because he had changed too many things, involving the interests of too many people, so many that even His Majesty could not protect him, and Xia Zhibai was walking on a dead end.

Li Jinglong didn't say anything else to Lu Cang.

Standing alone in the yard, looking up at the gloomy sky, my mind drifted away.

Lu Cang stretched, looked at the still closed door, then looked at Li Jinglong who was in a daze, and felt helpless. The people in the government were good in every way, but they always gave people a feeling of arrogance, making it difficult for people to get close to them.

He didn't know how long he would have to wait.

Xia Zhibai didn't tell him, and Li Jinglong wouldn't tell him either.

As for the prince, that was not something he could ask, he could only wait outside.

It's just really cold outside.

Lu Cang shrank his neck and rubbed his hands secretly.

Just when Lu Cang couldn't stand the cold anymore, the tightly closed door finally opened.

Lu Cang looked over quickly.

However, before he could see Zhu Biao, he was driven away by the servants beside him. They surrounded Zhu Biao in the middle, and then left without saying anything. This made Lu Cang a little stunned.

He felt somewhat let down.

I waited outside for so long, but in the end I didn't get a single word.

He stood there, watching Zhu Biao and his group leave. When they were out of sight, he stamped his stiff feet and cursed in a low voice, "What a horrible weather! It's not even winter yet, why is it so cold? When I was a beggar, I never felt winter was this cold."

"What a ghost."

Lu Cang muttered a few curses and ran straight to the study to tell Xia Zhibai the news that Crown Prince Zhu Biao had left.

But he also secretly admired Brother Xia for being so awesome.

The prince didn't even pay any attention to him.

This is real awesome.

If it were him, he would have to follow all the time, fearing that something might happen. With this confidence and arrogance, he has a lot to learn.

Xia Zhibai nodded calmly at Zhu Biao's departure.

There was no more words.

The snow was still falling and the sky was getting darker.
