Chapter 1783: Death of the country is better than the death of the world Ye Chunqiu's words, Li Dongyang didn't think that Ye Chunqiu was talking, he actually believed it.
Although this man was his worst enemy, his confidant, and the one he had to put to death.
But Li Dongyang had to admit that what Ye Chunqiu said, credit can definitely be guaranteed.
Ye Chunqiu said that if he could spend his old age in peace, he would definitely be able to do it.
But Li Dongyang didn't have any joy on his face, and he was still unmoved.
He shook his head calmly and said, "His Royal Highness King Lu, until now, what you think the old man wants is just to spend his old age in peace."
There was obvious ridicule and sarcasm in his words.
Before Ye Chunqiu could react, Li Dongyang continued: "In fact, the day he came down from Shoufu, the old man had already died once, and when he didn't even have a scholar and became a prisoner, the old man died again. ” Li Dongyang looked at Ye Chunqiu deeply, his eyes seemed to have deep vicissitudes, he paused for a moment, and then said: "The old man has already died twice, a person who has died twice, will he still care about this life very much, and live in this world secretly?"
After that, he closed his eyes gently, showing a bit of affection on his face, and then sighed before continuing: "In this world, some people live just to live, and some people live to be fed and clothed.
And some people, if they lose their official position, they have lost everything, and they have lost their valued reputation, which is no different from death. ” Ye Chunqiu squinted, his eyes locked tightly on Li Dongyang, and said, "Then what do you want?"
Li Dongyang smiled slightly and said: "What the old man thinks is that one day, someone will be able to overcome the unification, get rid of the current maladministration, and bring the Ming Dynasty back to the trajectory that should belong to it." ” After hearing this, Ye Chunqiu's eyes widened slightly, his body suddenly rose involuntarily, his face became a little complicated, and then he paced back and forth in this public room, as if thinking deeply about something.
At this time, he finally had a realization, yes, this is Li Dongyang's best choice.
Obviously, Li Dongyang is not afraid of death, as he said, he has died twice, death is not terrible for him, what he is most afraid of is that he will become a sinner through the ages, and what he is afraid of is that he will die in the name of rebellion.
But what if some people in the pass succeeded?
Ye Chunqiu's heart sank, and he couldn't help but continue to think in this direction Once some people in the pass succeeded, then the new emperor in order to prove Emperor Zhengde's stupidity, just like Zhu Di did to Emperor Jianwen, those close ministers around Emperor Jianwen, such as Fang Xiaoru and the like, are of course traitors.
So in other words, Li Dongyang Li Dongyang was a traitor in the Zhengde Dynasty, but when the new emperor ascended the throne, it may not be.
After all, some people can say that it was traitors like Liu Jin and Ye Chunqiu who slandered Li Dongyang, and they were pointing at the deer as a horse and wanted to put a loyal minister to death.
Naturally, Li Dongyang will appear in front of everyone with a new image, and he will go down in history and become a role model.
After all, the pen is in the hands of some people, and after many years, the in-depth study of some historical events can be studied at the beginning, which is the few strokes that were written down at the beginning.
For Li Dongyang, of course, he hopes that some people in the pass can succeed, success means that he is not a rebellion, and success means that even if he is killed by Ye Chunqiu now, he can still be glorious.
The crux of the matter is here, compared to death, what Li Dongyang is most afraid of is that the efforts of this life will end in the name of sinners.
Of course, Ye Chunqiu can choose to be executed, but Ye Chunqiu is also convinced that when Li Dongyang reaches this age, once he is executed, he is afraid that before he confesses, he will no longer be a person.
The more Ye Chunqiu thought about it, the more distracted and irritable he became, and he paced back and forth in this public house impatiently.
He is bound to get an answer to this matter, but for him now, to get the answer he wants, only Li Dongyang himself and Pan will tell him.
After thinking about it, Ye Chunqiu said: "Duke Li, no matter what, he is the son of the former emperor today. ” Li Dongyang said: "How about dying the country than dying in the world?"
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, he sneered, and his voice showed a little coldness: "What is the death of the country, what is the death of the world" Li Dongyang calmly looked directly at Ye Chunqiu and said: "The death of the country, at most, is just a change of dynasty, and it doesn't matter if you change any son of heaven, because the world is still this world."
But the world is different, the world is dead, the clothes of the scholars are gone, and the belief in benevolence, righteousness and propriety does not exist, this is the death of the world.
Today, the old man has seen clearly, the set you instigated Your Majesty to engage in, that is, to perish in the world, there are businessmen, craftsmen, and even farmers and herdsmen in your eyes, but the only thing that cannot be tolerated is the gentry, without the gentry, education does not exist, whoever comes to read the book of sages will learn the style in your school here, teach people to work, teach people to learn arithmetic and law, there is no scholar, who brings a scarf, who wears Confucian shirts, all learn from your people here, for work, wear tight short clothes, all learn from those merchants, fresh clothes and angry horses, Wearing these nondescript clothes, there are no gentry, where do you come from, you look at your green dragon, there are those who distort the scriptures and righteousness, there are extravagant people, there are businessmen, between talking and laughing, everything is a matter of baht, I came to this green dragon, what I see, just copper smell, copper smells stinky, since history, I have never seen such a scene, even if the etiquette collapses, it is not so, this is a thousand years of things, terrible, sighing, and unfortunately, this is not the death of the world and what is it" Speaking of this, he glanced at Ye Chunqiu with disdain, and then said sharply: "The world is about to die, but you are still talking about the first emperor, what is His Royal Highness King Lu today, don't you think it's ridiculous The old man doesn't have anything to be ashamed of the first emperor, if the first emperor is here, seeing this situation, he is bound to be in pain, I just want to pull the world back to what it should be, His Royal Highness King Lu is also a scholar, but what His Royal Highness King Lu did, you have half the appearance of a saint, you also built a Confucian Temple here, but it's a pity haha, Although this Confucian Temple is magnificent, in my eyes, it is just a way for you to cover up your dirty deeds.
Although the Confucian Temple is new, in my eyes, it is dilapidated, and those who come in and out are all from the city fox society. ” He took a deep breath and continued: "Your Highness wants to give the old man a peaceful old age, which is His Highness's kindness, but the old man does not dare to agree. ” aa2705221:
