After Tian Guizi said this, Su Yonglin remembered his only relative, Zhao Xirui's mother's home.

Zhao Zuolliang is currently the nominal supreme head of the Ming government and a deputy minister of the imperial court, but his three sons did not receive any special treatment.

A young man is still studying.

A person who had a criminal record of law before the founding of the Ming Dynasty was stared at by Zhao Zuoliang, but failed the imperial examination twice in a row. It was really not a material for studying and studying. He was older and was finally sent back to his hometown in Shandong to farm and take care of the ancestral hall. He was not allowed to do anything.

The second son is smart and talented. He passed the second imperial examination in Hongwu in five years and became an official in the Ministry of Law. He is now in the head of the judicial office in a county in Hexi Province. His work results are pretty good and he has the prospect of promotion.

Su Yonglin's eldest son and second son are still young and are studying, so there is nothing to say.

The only relative, the three sons of the Zhao family, are nothing special, and there is no detachment compared to other families, and there is really nothing to blame.

It would be better to say that Su Yonglin deliberately suppressed the Zhao family, not allowing them to transcend anyone, and strive to maintain the fairness of talent selection and promotion.

However, this kind of effort from oneself is seriously opposed by many people.

The opponents even formed an alliance in a sense under his nose, trying to sing a counter-topic with him, and even had the idea of ​​dominating Mingguo.

They believe that Su Yonglin's efforts to maintain fairness are inappropriate and in their interests. They hope to obtain higher status and treatment through their own qualifications, as well as smoother ways to obtain power.

To this end, they reached an alliance, gathered together to keep warm, and tried their best to take advantage of loopholes under the rules and systems stipulated by Su Yonglin, and tried their best to cover up. Until they were discovered, they did not think that they had done something wrong.

This made Su Yonglin feel angry and a little disappointed.

"Qiao Feng has indeed deteriorated, but what he said is not completely unreasonable. I seem to be asking officials to use a relatively saint standard, and they have a lot of expectations for them, and these requirements seem to be really strict, right?"

Tian Guizi shook his head.

"Since you decide to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, you must be prepared for this. If you do not have such an enlightenment, you might as well not be an official from the beginning. Our Ming Dynasty officials are destined to be unique."

"That's right."

Su Yonglin smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I have imagined countless times how I would treat criminals, but when they really stood in front of me, I still couldn't help feeling disappointed. I thought I could take the lead by doing it myself, but in fact... I still underestimated human desires."

Tian Guizi expressed objection.

"Your leading role is indeed very powerful. Under your leading role, I believe that the integrity and efficiency of the Ming officials are unique, and the trust of the Ming people in the Ming government must be unique."

"But if this situation continues to develop, how many people will become like Qiao Feng and the others?"

Su Yonglin smiled bitterly and said, "Now, they will use the excuse that the elderly in Jiangnan did not receive qualified treatment as an excuse to unite a large group of people for personal gain. What reasons and excuses will they use to form a clique for personal gain in the future?

I don’t want to imagine, nor dare to imagine, but now I know very well that for them, the meaning of ideals is not that great, or they think that ideals have been realized and can start to enjoy, right?"

Tian Guizi was speechless.

"With witnessing the current situation of such a strange officialdom, it is no wonder that he shouted the slogan of preserving the laws of heaven and destroying human desires."

Su Yonglin whispered: "Maybe it is because he has witnessed too many ugly behaviors that this slogan was born. It may be an ideal in itself, but this ideal has been used in the wrong direction."

"Preserve the laws of heaven and destroy human desires?"

Tian Guizi wondered: "Who did such a remark come from? It's really unimaginable."

"This is not important, what is important is... Guizi, does our Ming Dynasty have a bit of this kind of feeling to choose officials?"

Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi with a serious expression.

Tian Guizi pursed her lips and said no lies.

"yes."

"Hahahaha, actually, I think officials should be what we prescribe. Since they have power, they have to bear more responsibilities, because their power will affect many people. It is natural to pay to master such power."

Su Yonglin smiled bitterly and said, "But the bureaucrats may not understand this principle correctly. They think the process of holding power is too difficult, so after holding power, you have to enjoy happiness, not pay, but take it back.

Guizi, I find that looking at this matter from your and my perspective is different from their perspective. What we see is giving, what they see is demand. Is this because of different status?"

"There must be some correlation, but it must be said all, not all."

Tian Guizi shook her head: "Maybe after taking power, some of their ideas gradually changed."

"For example, if I don't let anything else be allowed, can I even be promoted?"

Su Yonglin smiled and joked. When Tian Guizi heard this, he also smiled, and then shook his head.

"A true Revival members will not be like this. Being an official for their ideals and learning ideals for their official careers are two completely different things. These two people exist together in the Revival Society, and they have been like this from the beginning."

At the beginning?

Tian Guizi's words made Su Yonglin feel a little relieved.

Yes, at the beginning, they had no choice at first, and they had no choice either. Whether their choice was to sincerely accept the ideal or helplessly accept the ideal, it was the same.

Everyone has no choice, there is only one way to go, so they can only go to the dark side. Regardless of life or death, they will fight for a dawn. Even if they die, it will be better than simply starving to death.

But now it's different.

There are too many options available now.

The right to choose is still in your own hands. As long as you are brave, what can’t be done?

In this way, the choices of the two people are significantly different, and they gradually move towards two paths, two paths that are separated from each other and cannot gather together.

But sadly, the former is destined to be fewer than the latter.

If Su Yonglin wants to ensure that the Ming Dynasty continues to move forward and maintains a positive cycle, two conditions need to be achieved.

First, we must try every means to increase the number of people in the former type.

The second is to try every means to constantly defeat the second type of group.

Neither of these two conditions is easy, and it is quite difficult, much more difficult than being an emperor. To achieve these two conditions, the difficulty level required is enough to make Su Yonglin the emperor for five or six lifetimes.

The possibility is infinitely close to zero.

But cleverly, Su just likes to say no to it.

impossible?

No.

Everything is possible.

Looking up at the bright moonlight, Su Yonglin's mouth curled up slightly.

"Guizi, do you believe it? My life in this life does not actually belong to me. It was me who had a great fortune. The life that should not have been allowed to continue, so I can live until now and stand here to establish the Ming Dynasty."

Tian Guizi was a little confused about this.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing interesting."

Su Yonglin looked at Tian Guizi with a smile: "I just want to say that since my life did not belong to me in this life, then I want to try my wish that I had not achieved in my previous life, and I want to try the feeling of living for my ideals for the rest of my life."

What a feeling of living for your ideals all your life?

Tian Guizi was stunned for a moment and gradually understood Su Yonglin's meaning.

"That should be good, right? It must be a wonderful life for your ideals."

"No, it should be miserable, because you will face betrayal again and again, and you will have to wipe away your tears again and again and again and continue to move forward. The ideal road must be full of blood and tears, and it is even more painful than the most painful road in the world. It is so painful that people can't believe it, and in the end, it may not be successful."

Tian Guizi thought of this incident.

"Since that's the case, will the Chairman still go on?"

"Of course, living for ideals should be the highest level a person can reach in his life. I never imagined that he could live a more meaningful way than this."

In front of Tian Guizi, Su Yonglin showed an unprecedented happy smile.

"Is there anything more romantic than living like this?"

“……………………”

Tian Guizi didn't know if there was any way to live more romantic than living for her ideals.

But he felt that Su Yonglin, who had such an understanding, must be a very romantic person who was deeply romantic.

Only a person who is very romantic in his heart can smile so happily in the face of such a heavy reality.

On this night, Su Yonglin made a decision.

From then on, he will be the most romantic person in the world.

He is going to take this country into an unprecedented and heroic and romantic revolution.
