Chapter 1729 - I Made One of the Biggest Mistakes
Be sure to follow them to the end!
He gritted his teeth when he said this, and I also saw in his eyes that he would never turn back, as strong as steel.
I was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, you want to fight them to the end, how are you going to fight?"
He was still immersed in his own sadness and anger, but when he suddenly heard me ask, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at me with wide eyes, as if asking me what I meant.
I looked at him too.
After a while, even his own gaze slowly became 'confused'.
yes, in the end, how?
What is this?
When a person wants to do something, the first thing to think about is not what he should do, but how far he wants to do it and what result he needs to get. Only by thinking about this matter first can you decide how to do things yourself, and even have the possibility of success.
Brother Chen was full of grief and indignation, but to what extent and how to fight with Zhou Chengyin and the others, looking at his current appearance, he didn't seem to understand too much.
I said, "I'll just say that." Zhou Chengyin and their rebellion were because the new policy implemented by the current emperor - that is, as you said, the method of collecting taxes, and some other policies touched their interests, so that they could not expropriate as they did in the past, let alone run rampant in the township, so they wanted to rebel. ”
"Oh......"
"And if you're going to fight him, how are you going to fight, and what do you want to accomplish in the end?"
This time, he did not hesitate in the slightest, and as soon as I said this, he said: "We all know this very well, and we cannot let them succeed." Now this emperor, we still hope that he will continue to be the emperor!"
"Oh? Why?"
"He, the method of collecting taxes that he changed is a great thing for us, he continues to be the emperor, and we will have food. ”
"That's ...... That's it. ”
I nodded.
After Brother Chen finished speaking, he thought about it again, and then continued: "Moreover, this emperor, he is a good emperor. ”
I was stunned and looked up at him.
Although the two of us talked about the New Deal and how these powerful gentry oppressed the people, I didn't plan to talk to him about the good or bad of the emperor, after all, this topic was too far away for a rough man like him, but what I didn't expect was that he talked about it himself.
He thinks that Pei Yuanhao is a good emperor......
I looked at him and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Brother Chen said: "This emperor kneels down to the people of the world to plead guilty. ”
“……”
I was slightly shocked, and immediately remembered that after the pro-ploughing ceremony at the beginning of the year, because Cha Bixing rolled the nail board to sue the royal court, Pei Yuanhao let the officials form a party and run a 'private', causing the displacement of the people everywhere, and the people's poor livelihood was made public to the world, and in the end, Pei Yuanhao thought that he had failed the people, so he knelt down to the world's Baixin to plead guilty.
This incident, so much time has passed, but every scene is like in front of me.
Hearing Brother Chen mention this, I feel like I'm back to that day again!
I said, "You know about that, too?"
"Of course I know, in the world, there are a few people who don't know!" Brother Chen's face turned slightly red, and said: "This matter has already been spread all over the world, when it first came to Huai'an, few people dared to believe it, but later more and more people said that some people from the capital also talked about it repeatedly, and we knew that it was true!"
He paused for a moment and said, "We have lived for so many years, and we have never seen an emperor kneeling to the people!"
I looked at him and said, "Just because of this, do you respect this emperor?"
He thought for a moment and said, "I can't say this well, but we have a gentleman over there who teaches and he says it well." He said that it is not difficult for a person to kneel, but it is difficult for the emperor to kneel, and he kneels to all the people of the world, and he pleads guilty. ”
“……”
"The teacher said that in this world, except for saints, they all make mistakes, and the emperor is not a saint, and the emperor will also make mistakes. But because the emperor is the emperor, no one dares to say that he has made a mistake, if he takes his face too seriously, then if he does not change his mistakes, the people can only suffer losses. ”
“……”
"But this emperor, he can admit his mistakes to the people, which shows that the emperor values the people more seriously than his face. ”
“……”
He said that in addition to the saint being the emperor, it is very good for such a person to be the emperor. ”
“……”
I couldn't say anything for a while, I just felt something choking in my throat.
I haven't forgotten the original scene, and even that shocking mood was remembered when Brother Chen said this.
Pei Yuanhao would kneel down to all the people in the world to plead guilty, this incident really gave me too much shock at the time, especially his unbeatable identity, arrogant and domineering 'sex' personality, it was a difficult thing for him to admit his mistakes, let alone kneel, but at that time, he really did that, that was something I would never have imagined before I witnessed that scene!
I couldn't have imagined that this incident would have such a big impact on the hearts of ordinary people.
A rough person like Brother Chen doesn't know anything about martial arts, nor does he understand the specific policies of the imperial court, but he understands the simplest truth, an emperor can admit his mistakes and take the people to heart, he is a good emperor!
So, they are willing to defend this emperor in such a difficult situation!
I thought about it for a long time, and said slowly: "Brother Chen, it's rare that you can think like this. ”
Brother Chen glanced at me and said, "It's nothing rare, many of us think so." ”
“……”
I fell silent again, slowly falling into deep thought.
This is just Huai'an City, and this is just a few ordinary people I see in front of me......
Before, what I discussed with all the people was the government in various places, the powerful gentry in various places, and they were all thinking about the new policy, which was the emperor's governing program, but we never personally considered what these ordinary people would do, and now that we think about it, we have made one of the biggest mistakes.
These people, who usually seem to be the most oppressive, the most powerless, and the most voiceless, may actually set off the most amazing and terrifying 'waves'.
After all, the world is not the world of any one person, but the world of the people!
I suddenly said, "Brother Chen, don't worry, I will definitely help you rescue your family." ”
He looked up at me.
I also looked him in the eye and said firmly, "Moreover, I will definitely save you!"
"Save us?" he was stunned for a moment: "How to save us?"
"Now, Huai'an City is under the control of Zhou Chengyin, if you don't leave here, you and your family will be surrounded and suppressed by them sooner or later. The only way for you to survive is to get out of here and join a powerful force!"
"A powerful force?"
Brother Chen's eyes lit up: "What are you talking about?"
