Chapter 153: The Dream Chaser
Another month has passed since this talk.
"The Shenghua Empire is ruined in the hands of those court dog officials, we must let the emperor step down, let those dog officials withdraw from the political arena, if the emperor and those old ministers do not step down, our Shenghua Empire is still hopeless. ”
Brother Rundong picked up a glass of wine after speaking, drank it all, and today I came to visit Brother Rundong again, and by the way, I went to a restaurant with him to eat.
And today's Brother Rundong seems to be in a bad mood, we sat down at the table, he drank glass after glass before the dishes were served, a pot of wine almost let him drink alone, he was rarely seen drinking, but at the moment he was already drunk and his face was flushed, drunk and smiling, Brother Rundong wiped off the wine sprinkled on the table with his sleeve, and then brought his red face in front of him, his speech was slightly slurred, but he said very firmly:" However, I believe in Yat-sen Sun, they have always insisted on overthrowing the imperial system with the Ming Society, and now that he is negotiating on behalf of the leaders of the southern forces, I believe that he will definitely insist on the emperor stepping down, I believe him. ”
"I hope so, Brother Rundong, you're drunk, drink less!"
Seeing that Brother Rundong went to pour wine again, he was busy persuading Brother Rundong, but from what he said, I could hear that Brother Rundong admired Yixian Sun very much, or agreed with his experience, which can be seen from Brother Rundong's previous posting of President Yixian Sun as a candidate to his words at this moment.
18 years old, which is also the age of chasing stars, I thought.
"It's okay, I'm not going to get drunk, I'm happy to see you here today, and I'm really happy to be able to talk to people in the same village. There was obviously a hint of melancholy in Brother Rundong's words at this moment.
"What's the matter? Brother Rundong has been unhappy lately?"
I cared about Brother Rundong and said, in fact, I get along with Brother Rundong all the year round, and I can easily see his displeasure from his straightforward face, the reason why Brother Rundong drinks so much wine today must be because he is unhappy in his heart, so he is borrowing wine to drown his sorrows.
"Nothing!"
Brother Rundong shook his head violently, but then he picked up a glass of wine on the table and drank it all, after drinking, he put down the wine glass heavily, and then looked at me with slightly drunk eyes, and asked, "Ling Feng, do you say that I am really so difficult for people to understand, why can't they understand me?"
I don't know what Brother Rundong said, it is estimated that he encountered something unpleasant in the barracks again, but seeing that he was about to get drunk, I had to persuade: "It should be that you have not been in contact with them for a long time, if it is a long time, they will naturally understand you as a person." ”
Yes, this is my sincere words, if anyone knows Brother Rundong's heart that wants to make the Shenghua Empire strong, and knows that he has gone through so many hardships but still hasn't given up on his dream, then they will know how respectable his actions are. But who wants to know about the past of a child from a mountain village? Who wants to listen to a nerd talk about overly idealistic dreams?
Therefore, now my evaluation of Brother Rundong is that people are good people, but they are not down-to-earth yet.
Brother Rundong didn't seem to listen to what I was saying at all, his face flushed, and he continued to say melancholy: "Why don't they understand me? I want the soldiers of our battalion to submit the petition of the Northern Expedition to the officers above, and we go to petition collectively, isn't it a good thing? As a result, those officers and soldiers did not support me, have these officers and soldiers forgotten? The reason why we soldiers joined this barracks is to join the war so that the interests of the Shenghua Empire will not be violated?"
I held my breath and didn't answer Brother Rundong's words.
In fact, I can guess that when Brother Rundong joined the barracks, he was indeed just in time for Changsheng Sha** and needed someone to protect him, and the soldiers in the barracks where he was were all joined by that group.
But at that time, when recruiting soldiers, the defenders of Changshengsha were afraid that the imperial army would come to encircle and suppress, and the way of recruiting troops was basically that as long as those who came to join the army could breathe and could hold swords and guns, all of them were recruited, and even those who did not have enough to eat on the street joined the barracks.
Therefore, it can be said that Brother Rundong's current barracks are three religions and nine streams, and there are all kinds of people. And people like Brother Rundong, who are fighting for the interests of the Shenghua Empire, have long been drowned in this tide of soldiers, and it must be difficult for him to find people with a common language, not to mention that the views that Brother Rundong puts forward every time are so profound, and they are so high-profile, it is even more difficult to agree, of course he can't find someone with a common language.
However, from this, I also know why Brother Rundong is upset.
I also feel some of his current situation.
He must have done it again in the barracks, similar to posting political opinions at the school gate, so he was told that the officers and soldiers did not understand his situation, and the nerd method of Rundong was that no matter what kind of people were around, he only had to express his opinions, so many times he was equivalent to playing the piano to the cow.
But he hit a wall, I think that's a good thing, he now finally knows that he can't communicate with the people around him, I think it's because he found his own problem, if he wants to live in this society, he has to integrate into the society, he has to understand the people around him, this is the basis of communication with people.
What he lacks now is to understand the people around him and communicate with them, but what he is doing now is only constructing his own ideal blueprint in his own mind.
He is now like an abstract painter, the things he paints are very good-looking, but others can't understand them, and the language that Rundong Ge explains to others is also profound, and of course others don't agree.
He needs to make himself more popular!
However, Brother Rundong has found a problem and hit a wall, can he solve this problem? Does he need to solve it?
Yes, does he need to work it out?
This question needs to be asked again!
If he is really an abstract painter, what advice can I give him when his work is at a low point in his life and no one understands his work?
Shall I tell him to give up the abstract way of painting, let him give up his dreams?
Or, tell him to keep going?
I do not know.
If it were my own choice, it would be easy, I am a very realistic person, I will definitely firmly choose to give up the abstract painting method, first paint something that others can understand, first paint something that can be sold for money, and then fill my stomach first.
But I know that this is by no means what Brother Rundong thinks, even if I tell Brother Rundong to let him put aside the painting method of abstraction for the time being, and choose two more realistic paintings, I am afraid that he will still think that it will affect his pursuit of abstraction, affect the height of his understanding of art, and affect his systematic abstract thinking.
So, finding a problem and finding an answer are two different things.
Is he going to make a change? I'm not optimistic, so I'm not going to give him advice.
Now I choose to wait quietly, or let him think more about it.
When faced with setbacks, people always have two choices.
Some people think it's an opportunity for him to change, and some people think it's what keeps him going.
Only his future can tell him whether his choice was right or wrong.
So I can't give him advice.
Of course, as far as I know about Brother Rundong, more often, Brother Rundong chooses the latter path.
He was always different from me.
I think he's asking for his own suffering, who made him so stubborn? How nice to be realistic like me!
After a lot of rambling, Brother Rundong said the depression in his heart, and his mood was a little better, in front of me, Brother Rundong could say something from his heart, which is also one of the reasons why people who wander in a foreign land often want to see their fellow villagers, and everyone occasionally needs spiritual comfort.
Although he drank a lot of wine, for people who are already strong fighters, he only needs to use his fighting spirit to get the wine in his body out, and Brother Rundong can return to the barracks intact.
Brother and I are still the same as before, he walks his way, I cross my bridge, but it doesn't get in the way, we get together and are best friends.
The situation in the Shenghua Empire is still deadlocked.
Yixian Sun really insisted in the negotiations that if the Shenghua Empire wanted to end this dispute, the emperor must abdicate, which was the biggest point of disagreement in the negotiations.
It is believed that it is difficult for the imperial court to accept such conditions.
That's what everyone thinks, and it's like a chasm that can't be bridged.
How could anyone who came to negotiate on behalf of the emperor take the resignation of his master as a condition for negotiation? So during this time, there were several assassinations of Yuan Gongbao in the imperial capital, and everyone also knew that Yuan Gongbao was now the main core of the northern forces, and if he could die, the northern camp would collapse immediately, but unfortunately, these assassinations were unsuccessful.
But just when everyone thought that this situation of confrontation between the north and the south would exist for a long time, a news suddenly came on this day that everyone couldn't believe it.
"Come and buy the newspaper! The big news, our emperor of the Shenghua Empire, Pu Yijun, has issued an edict of abdication, and the emperor has abdicated!"
"The emperor has abdicated!"
For a Shenghua Empire that has been following the imperial system for more than 20,000 years, to this day, the emperor actually took the initiative to announce his abdication and no longer be the emperor, which shocked everyone as if in a dream.
I rushed up to buy a newspaper, but before I could get to the newsboy, the newspaper was already sold out, so I could only look at the stranger's newspaper, and now everyone was very friendly.
"The emperor has abdicated!"
"Oh, our movement has won. ”
"Our success has been. ”
"There's no need to fight!"
......
The people on the street are expressing their joy in various ways, and the abdication of the emperor represents a major victory in our southern provinces this time, from the previous right-of-way activities to protect the Shenghua Empire's railway, and then the ** and the uprising movement.
Of course, for some people who do not want their country to suffer from war, the abdication of the emperor will allow this incident to be resolved in the most peaceful way, which is very good, the country will not be divided, and people will no longer have to be afraid, this is simply a happy ending.
Perfect!

(In recent chapters, I have written a lot of background things, but this is a necessary environment for the protagonist's growth, and I think the real history can better reflect the hearts of the characters, so after writing, the next content will be relatively less historical events, and you can continue to watch the story between Ling Feng and Rundong.) )
