After Zhu Di's high-spirited and passionate voice fell, the people of Beiping Mansion, who were still full of anger, fell into silence.

Everyone was silent.

And the guards of the Yan Wangfu were also looking at the high platform in confusion.

What does Yan Wang Ye mean by this?

Overthrow the emperor?

No, it's the abolition of the monarchy!

This is a path that no one has imagined, they originally thought that His Royal Highness King Yan was thinking of overthrowing Emperor Jianwen and then ascending to the throne as emperor himself. He never thought that His Royal Highness King Yan would be so noble that he directly chose to let the emperor's profession disappear from history.

I don't want to be an emperor anymore, and I don't want someone to be an emperor in the future.

In this regard, the people are naturally not qualified to express their opinions. They had no idea if there would have been any impact on their lives without the emperor and hereditary nobles.

But now King Yan wants them to stand up, to fight for themselves, for their children and grandchildren, and for the dignity of the common people for generations!

This is, of course, a great thing for them.

But if they go to war......

Don't do it.

They are willing to worship a Zhu Di who fights for the people as a god, but they are not willing to fight for the people themselves.

When Zhu Di saw this scene, his heart was cold.

It's still overestimating the consciousness of the common people.

In fact, these ordinary people are the same as the family gate valves, if someone is willing to seek benefits for them, they will naturally be happy. But if they were to be asked to give something, they would never be willing to agree.

Zhu Di glanced back at Zhu Gaoxian, and seemed to be a little puzzled as to why this was the case.

Zhu Gaoxian's face remained unchanged, and he made a gesture: Don't worry, Dad, just continue to read according to the script.

Now, Zhu Di has no way out, so he can only go down the road.

When everyone was chatting in broken voices, Zhu Di shouted violently: "Are you really listening!" Does anyone really care about dignity! ”

This sudden shout startled everyone, and they turned their attention to Zhu Di again.

Zhu Di said heavily: "This is the biggest problem at the moment, isn't it?" ”

"No one cares, no one thinks about whether it is more comfortable to stand up than to kneel, sinking into the day after day of being treated as cattle and sheep by the noble lords, and the soul has long been numb."

"Dignity is the sharpest sword."

"The sword is for the enemy, not for deception. Your enemies have power in their hands, and the enemies I speak of are not the Varats or the Tatars. ”

"The enemy, just south of Shanhaiguan. What kind of enemy is it that is responsible for your current decadent situation? ”

At this moment, someone in the audience shouted: "It's the landlord!" ”

"It's the magnates!"

"It's the Emperor!"

Zhu Di's voice was impassioned, as if he had the power to defeat everything: "Yes, it's them!" ”

"The magnates claim to be Akito, but neither now nor in the future, they are not popular with us, they are not needed, but they are everywhere now! They are a swarm of bloodsuckers, crawling on our backs and squeezing the marrow, plundering the food we have worked so hard for, forcing us to work day and night, while they enjoy the fruits of our labor as a matter of course! ”

"They invaded our court, plundered our wealth, destroyed our homes and homelands! Compatriots, I tell you, this is a war! ”

"This is a war against aggression, expel these aggressors who have humiliated us, we don't need them at all!"

Zhu Di covered his chest and said sadly: "Compatriots, think about it." The tenants who worked in the fields had to work in the fields for seven to eight hours a day, and some for as long as nine hours! However, even with such hard labor, they harvested very little, and could only barely obtain food to sustain themselves. To let a young man of twenty years of good physique and sound physique be squeezed under such circumstances can make him a full head of gray hair at the age of twenty-five! ”

"Think about it, why is that, why do we still get pigs and dogs after we have paid for our labor?"

"This is because the powerful are a group of bloodsuckers who have plundered the food and wealth that should belong to us!"

"We're going to get rid of them!"

"We want to establish a new Ming, a Ming without magnates and emperors, a Ming with the supremacy of the people!"

"We have to implement a four-hour work system, we have to smell the flowers, we have to bask in the sun, we have to strive for four hours to work, four hours to sleep, and the remaining four hours to ourselves!"

Zhu Di took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength:

"Long live democracy!!"

The aftermath did not dissipate for a long time, Zhu Di looked down at the people under the high stage, and still no one answered him.

Seems

Everything was just his own words.

Zhu Di's heart was unprecedentedly disappointed, everything he is doing now is for the people, but none of the people are willing to happen for him.

The world is the same......

Oh, it looks like it's just a joke.

It's so lonely, Zhu Di's heart is desolate.

Just when he was desperate, a loud voice suddenly came from the silent high stage: "Long live democracy!" ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the voices of the people echoed like thunder: "Long live democracy!" ”

"Long live democracy!!"

"Long live democracy!!"

The tidal sound followed suit, and everyone was chanting Long live democracy, they clenched their fists, their eyes were full of fanaticism, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's hands couldn't help but tremble at the moment, and he clenched his fists.

"Democracy,"

"Hooray!"

……

The spread speed of Datong's ideal is like a spark that spreads from Beiping City, and in just one month, the entire Beiping Mansion has been spread.

Although a considerable number of people disdain this, they feel that Zhu Di is acting on the spot, and he will continue to be the emperor when he is defeated. But there are also some people who choose to be skeptical, after all, no one has ever been willing to shout such a slogan when they rebel.

I don't know who recorded Zhu Di's speech in the western suburbs of Beiping City, printed it into a book, and published it as a book.

After Emperor Jianwen in Nanjing read Zhu Di's speech record, his first reaction was not anger, but a puzzled self-talk: "This can't be written by the fourth uncle himself, my fourth uncle only knows a few big characters, who is this to write on his behalf?" ”

But in any case, the world is already in chaos.

Emperor Jianwen didn't even need to send troops himself, Zhu Di became a traitor to the elite class, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, took the initiative to ask for help, and they were willing to behead Yan and rebel!

……

In the back hall of the guild hall in Beiping City, there were only three people sitting.

Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Gaoxian.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who is in the prime of life, Yao Guangxiao, a sick tiger who is energetic and determined to slay the dragon, and Zhu Gaoxian, the young and immature king of Huai'an County.

Zhu Di asked: "Little four, what should we do next?" ”

Yao Guangxiao glanced at Zhu Laosi suspiciously, as if to say: I'm a military advisor, if you don't ask me, you go and ask a little kid?

Zhu Gaoxian said in an orderly manner: "We seem to be making a big splash in Beiping Mansion, but in fact, so far it is still a plate of scattered sand. We need an army that is uniform from top to bottom, after all, we need to consider not only the will of the people, but also the fighting power. ”

Yao Guangxiao asked with interest: "I don't know what the little county king has?" ”

"A flag, a flag that can be convincing."

Zhu Gaoxian had already prepared, took out a flag, unfolded it and spread it on the table.

Black characters on a white background, with a square "Ming" character written on it.

"We are not anti-thieves, on the contrary, we are loyal and good ministers of the Ming Dynasty, to bring an innovative change to the Ming Dynasty, to overthrow the backward and mediocre imperial system!"

Zhu Gaoxian repeated, "The banner of the ordinary Ming army is the number of the generals of the army to which it belongs. The advantage of this is that it can better distinguish the subordinate departments and coordinate the command. But the disadvantage is that it is easy to make it difficult for different armies to coordinate. ”

"Our banner only plays the word 'Ming', first, to clear our suspicion of rebellion and rebellion, and to win the support of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Second, to rectify the army, no matter which guard is a soldier, as long as he stands under the banner of the sun and the moon, then he is a soldier of the Datong Army! ”

……

Zhu Di held the flag in his hand and walked into the main hall of the mansion from the back hall, and the main hall at this time was already full of senior officers from the top and bottom of the Yanwang Mansion.

The Yan army is in command of the servant, Zhang Yu.

Conductor Tongzhi, Zhu Neng.

Yanshan guards thousands of household officials, Qiu Fu.

are all commanding Tongzhi, Tan Yuan.

Yanshan's right guard is a hundred household officials, Wang Zhen.

……

Although these people have different official positions, the lowest is even only a small hundred households, but Zhu Di knows very well that these people here will be the pillars of the country in the future.

"Let me say two words simply, this is the Datong flag of our army, and in the future, this flag will symbolize the military soul of our democratic army."

Zhu Di put the flag on the table and said in an orderly manner, "There are some things that I have already said very clearly when I gave a speech in the western suburbs. Our army is fighting for democracy, for the people of the world, and for the cause of a thousand years. ”

"If someone fights with me and pursues the hereditary power, then you can turn around and leave, and I will not stop you. If someone is willing to follow me Zhu Laosi to fight, the people will always remember you in their hearts. ”

"The world is the world of the people of the world."

"This battle is not easy to fight, but behind us are the people of the whole world, and we will be immortalized in the fire in the voice of the people!"

"If I fall, I'll get up, but I won't fall."

"In this war, there will be two endings. The enemy has destroyed us, or we have destroyed the enemy. ”

He turned and left, leaving only a shadow of the soldiers in the guild house.

"If I fail, wrap my body in the Datong military flag."

He stretched out his arm and pointed to the sky.

"We will win!"

All the generals in the hall stood up in unison, saluted Zhu Di's back, and shouted in unison: "We will win!" ”

……

In the back hall, only Zhu Gaoxian and Yao Guangxiao were left.

Yao Guangxiao looked at the child sitting in front of him with interest, he could hardly imagine that it was such an eight-year-old child who robbed him of his job.

"Little Junwang, what does it mean for you to have the same world?"

Yao Guangxiao asked, "Do you know what the concept of Datong in the world is, do you know what a court without an emperor is like?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian faced the aggressive old monk and said calmly: "There is no exploitation, no oppression, everyone is equal, and common prosperity." ”

Faced with such an answer, Yao Guangxiao smiled disdainfully: "Everyone is equal? This only exists in the fable, where there is any real equality of all people, where there are people, there will be power, and where there is power, everyone will never be equal. ”

Zhu Gaoxian did not refute, he said in a low voice: "This is an ideal. ”

"Ideal?"

Yao Guangxiao laughed as if he had heard some big joke, "Ideals will die in reality!" ”

"Ideals will die in reality, but they will always live in people's hearts."

Zhu Gaoxian said lightly, "If this world doesn't even have ideals, then everyone is a walking corpse." This world needs an ideal existence, at the very least, to keep the spark of hope. ”

This time, it made Yao Guangxiao silent.

A person without ideals is a person without a soul, leaving only an empty shell, wandering the world.

The world needs ideals, no matter how unrealistic this ideal is, at least we must give the world a goal to strive for.

Yao Guangxiao muttered, "Perhaps, you are the right person." ”

……

In December of the first year of Jianwen, the combined forces of King Ning and King Liao arrived at the eastern border of Yongping Mansion and knocked on the pass to seek battle.

Zhu Di personally led the troops and launched a battle with the Ningliao coalition army at Shanhaiguan.

Last time, he was easily conquered by the Ningliao coalition army and was defeated at Shanhaiguan.

But this time, the Yan division led by him was like a god descending from heaven, and showed amazing resilience in the face of the fierce Ningliao coalition army at Shanhaiguan.

This is a battle to cleanse the soul, and as the war lasts, Yan Shi's combat power becomes stronger and stronger, and his will becomes more and more firm. Yan Shi, who was originally evenly matched and even weak, turned the tide of the battle.

The Ningliao coalition army was defeated at Shanhaiguan.

The battle was a big win.

Zhu Di was under the Shanhai Pass, and launched a post-war speech to the Yan masters who had just won a big victory, and it was still the speech written by Zhu Gaoxian for him, but this time Zhu Di directly memorized the whole text.

"When a person dies, the body can be carried out, but when the old system is destroyed, it is a pity that the corpse of the elite class cannot be nailed to the coffin and buried in the grave at once!"

"This corpse of the elite is rotting in our hearts, it is infecting us all with poisonous gas, it is stinking!"

Off the field, there were enthusiastic cheers. Zhu Di had never conscripted for military service since he started the army, but his speech in the western suburbs of Beiping attracted thousands of ordinary people to join the army on their own.

Zhu Di raised his arms and shouted: "Comrades, you must remember that we have only one way out, and that is victory!" ”

"There is another way, death."

"Death does not belong to democracy!"

Everyone's emotions exploded at this moment, they cheered, and they held the world to the highest!
