As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the audience was shocked again.

Everyone looked at Chen Kedao in shock, no one expected him to say such a thing, how could he be so bold?

Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi guards standing on the side, was also shocked on his face.

It's really that what Chen Kedao said is too deviant.

Chen Kedao's remarks like this, where do you put those who are on top?

The scholars will definitely not agree, they are obviously high-ranking gentlemen, and you directly beat them to the same treatment as ordinary people, and become the same people as merchants, land cultivators, and those craftsmen, it is strange that the scholars can endure it.

In addition to the scholars, the nobles and relatives could not stand such remarks.

What does it mean that we are all the same?

We are different!

We are obviously different, we are all high people. How can it be compared to others? That's insulting us! Okay, you Chen Kedao actually dared to say such a remark.

Luo Sigong feels like this, isn't this Chen Kedao afraid of death?

In fact, Luo Sigong knows that this kind of person who is not afraid of death is not one or two.

The so-called defenders of the Tao are Chen Kedao and them, these people are not afraid of death, and even regard martyrdom as the most glorious thing.

The key question is not this, doesn't Chen Kedao know what His Majesty will think?

Because there's a contradiction in it.

If everyone is the same, then where do you put Your Majesty?

His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the Emperor is appointed by Heaven and is destined by Heaven.

If everyone is the same, where do you put the emperor?

Why did the person who proposed this so-called equality die so miserably?

It's not because the emperor doesn't like your kind of remarks.

Not to mention this kind of remarks, Mencius's idea of the people, nobles, and gentlemen cannot be implemented.

The Son of Heaven only shouted slogans when he committed the same crime as the common people, and even scholars did not even dare to shout slogans in many cases.

In such a situation, how do you explain and implement such a doctrine? What is the difference between this and death?

However, Luo Sigong didn't understand one thing, that is, this Chen Kedao had entered the palace to give a lecture to His Majesty.

And he is here to help him, it is entirely because His Majesty wants to help this Chen Kedao himself. Didn't he tell His Majesty about these things?

Or maybe Chen Kedao has already said it, but His Majesty doesn't care.

There's something going on here! Luo Sigong's instincts told him.

If Chen Kedao hadn't said it, this would be the crime of bullying the king. There is no need to think about how miserable his fate will be.

The key problem is that it will implicate itself. At the critical moment of the competition between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, if such a big thing really happens, he will be decided. At that time, he will definitely die a miserable death.

If Chen Kedao had told His Majesty before, then His Majesty agreed with his idea? This is even more unimaginable for Luo Sigong.

Sure enough, someone had already stepped forward from under the platform.

The man who stood up was also dressed as a scholar, he walked directly onto the stage, arched his hand to the surroundings, and then to Chen Kedao, before he spoke: "Student Li Ruyu, I have seen you, I have seen Mr. Chen. ”

This Li Ruyu said very politely, but fools can see that this person is here to find trouble.

Glancing at Chen Kedao, Li Ruyu said directly: "Mr. Chen, the student has something unclear, and please ask Mr. to teach you." ”

Chen Kedao nodded and said with a smile, "Please speak." ”

Li Ruyu was not polite, and said directly: "Since Mr. thinks that the people are equal, then the student dares to ask Mr., where do you put the Son of Heaven?" ”

When this sentence came out, everyone in the audience was stunned again.

How is it that there are such bold people everywhere today? Is this question asked casually?

This is talking about His Majesty, and you are really not afraid of His Majesty's investigation.

The cold sweat on Luo Sigong's face came down, and he was very scared now.

It is enough to have a bold Chen Kedao, and now there is another Li Ruyu.

Your Majesty is also something you can talk about casually? Or on such occasions?

Don't take me with you to die!

Chen Kedao was not in a hurry, he had already discussed this issue with the emperor in the palace, and he could be said to be confident at this time.

Glancing at Li Ruyu, Chen Kedao said with a smile: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. What is this for? Naturally, it is because His Majesty is the destiny of heaven and the desire of the people. All the people are born and ruled by the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven is the ruler of all the peoples of this country. ”

Li Ruyu looked at Chen Kedao, and said unhurriedly: "Isn't that a natural son of heaven, how can we talk about the equality of all people?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone had just recovered from the shock of Fang Cai, and there was an instant uproar.

This Li Ruyu is too bold, this is criticizing His Majesty. Is this a death?

Everyone subconsciously took two steps back.

The people who originally wanted to trouble Chen Kedao now want to evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible.

Both of these people are crazy, right? Is this kind of nonsense too?

The Jinyi guards on the side of the stage commanded Luo Sigong's face to be as black as the bottom of a pot, and now he really wanted to rush up with people and directly arrest these two people to Beizhen Fusi Prison, and have a good time.

Are you trying to trap me?

But Luo Sigong didn't dare to move. Because if you press it strongly now, it will be more troublesome later.

Now he can only pin his trust on Chen Kedao.

As long as Chen Kedao can refute this Li Ruyu, then things will still have a turnaround; If not, then I'm afraid I'm going to be finished this time.

I saw that Chen Kedao was still unhurried and took a step forward. opened his mouth and said: "Emperor Taizu drove out the Tartars, recovered China, swept the Eight Wildernesses, swept Liuhe, and I have the territory of today. The Mandate of Heaven is in Your Majesty, and the Mandate of Heaven is in Daming. The Son of Heaven has the world, and it is the Son of Heaven who has set the name of China and repeats the merits of the country. It is the Son of Heaven who is appointed by Heaven to rule over all the peoples. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions softened. Chen Kedao doesn't seem to be wrong with saying this, at least it makes sense.

It's just that some things are turned upside down.

Before, the mandate of heaven was in the Son of Heaven, so the Son of Heaven was able to rule the world.

But now in Chen Youdao's statement, it is because the Son of Heaven made meritorious service first, determined the country, and calmed the troubled times, so God rewarded such a destiny.

This statement is really a bit difficult to refute.

Because the destiny is in you, you can set the world. Therefore, there are many people who rebel under this pretext, what is the destiny of me, etc., engage in some rumors to spread all over the world, and then raise the flag to rebel and catch a handful.

However, if it is under Chen Kedao's statement that the Son of Heaven first made contributions to the world, the road of rebellion "the Mandate of Heaven is in you" will not work.

Because you need to make great contributions to the world, and then you can have the destiny of heaven.

There is also a question here, that is, for the courtiers, if your credit is too great, then is it because you want the destiny of heaven?

However, no one cares about this kind of minutiae, and there has been such a thing as a high degree of merit and a great shock to the lord from ancient times to the present. Are there still fewer people who have been killed because of their high merits?

This topic cannot be talked about on the surface.

At this time, Li Ruyu's face turned a little dark, and he looked at Chen Kedao, feeling a little gritted teeth.

He didn't expect that he would make such a bold statement, and the other party was really ready to say it.
