Chapter 995 7. Tear Their Faces
Li Jiye is here?
Luo Chengyun frowned slightly and then relaxed his brows. He was indeed a person who was unwilling to be lonely. "Please invite him in."
The person who walked in from the outside was indeed Li Jiye, the last emperor of the Tang Empire. He had a faint warm smile on his face, a little more flesh on his cheeks, and a rosy face. It seemed that the actions of the New School Party had opened his heart.
As soon as he entered the room, Li Jiye bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Luo. I would like to offer you the Li family's most sincere congratulations."
Luo Chengyun had to say that Li Jiye was truly a character. You had to know that he was the emperor who ruled the world in the past. However, once he lost his status as emperor, he could now hold himself to the standards of an ordinary person without showing the slightest sign of slackness.
Even if such people are not born into noble families, they can always achieve great things.
Luo Chengyun asked knowingly, "I wonder why you are congratulating my family."
Li Jiye sat down and chuckled, “People always miss the bright sun in the sky in the dark night.
In the cold of ice and snow, I miss warmth.
Only when you see ugliness do you realize how touching beauty is.
Isn't it the same for a dynasty, a country, and the entire world?
Only after seeing people in troubled times being treated like grass, do you know how precious the culture of prosperous times is. Only after seeing corrupt officials, do you know how rare upright people are.
The world is in turmoil now, what will the people doubt? Who will they miss?
In the imperial era, when scholars and common people were wronged and had nowhere to turn to, they would cry in front of Zhaoling Mausoleum or file a complaint in front of Luo’s gate. The final result would always satisfy the people of the world. But now, who can they turn to?
The prestige that the Luo family has accumulated in the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years may not be as much as what they have accumulated in the past few years since they left the political arena.
How can I not celebrate for Luo family?"
After saying this, Li Jiye continued, "Besides, even if someone is willing to accept the complaint, what good will it do?
Is it an accident that the world has become what it is now?
Could it be that a glacier that has existed for thousands of years was frozen in one day?
Could it be that the officials of the new school government were so corrupt that they could manipulate things all of a sudden?
The highest ruling body has such great power that when it gets angry, it can cause turmoil all over the world. If it changes a law, millions of people can be turned into slaves. It's like the emperor in ancient times.
But why can't the situation be changed now?
Because the regime established by the new country must maintain a balance, no one really has enough power to deal with these matters.
The final result is nothing more than a compromise. I have looked down on them since their establishment, and it is still the same now.
Among the emperors there are saintly rulers and tyrants, as well as ordinary people. As for the new school, I don’t see any signs of them getting better, just like those officials in the Tang Dynasty who eventually melted into the officialdom.”
Hearing this, Luo Chengyun finally said, "What do you want to do?"
Li Jiye said in a gentle voice: "In response to Patriarch Luo, I was once the emperor of the empire, and I still have a lot of feelings for the people of the world. Unfortunately, times have changed, and it is not my turn to work for the world.
If we allow the current situation to continue like this, what good will it do to the world?
Since some people are unwilling to take action, I am willing to work hard.
I heard that Luo has gathered a lot of people, all of whom are quite famous. Can I contact them and write to the government together to put forward some opinions that are beneficial to the current situation?"
Luo Chengyun's eyes fixed as he looked at Li Jiye without saying a word.
Li Jiye continued, "What is the prestige of the Luo family?
It is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
You sitting here are like the pressing mountains and rivers; when you stand up, you are as powerful as wind and thunder; a word you say is louder than that of millions of people; your will can move the stars and change the world. I have never seen such a great existence.
Compared with the Luo family, the five hundred years of prestige of the Tang Dynasty royal family is nothing more than a firefly and the bright moon.
So I came here and asked to borrow Luo's prestige to do this."
After these words, Luo Chengyun finally nodded slightly.
There are some words that Luo does not need to say, but they must be said. It is a matter of attitude.
Li Jiye's eyes flashed with excitement. He stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Master Luo, please wait for good news from me."
After saying this, Li Jiye left.
After he left, a figure walked out from behind the hall. Luo Chengxun sat next to Luo Chengyun, looking outside, and then said: "Brother, what does Li Jiye want to do? I don't think he is such a naive person. He doesn't really think that some people who are excluded from the center of the political power can impress the government.
He must have other ideas in his mind. Could it be that he wants to use Luo's power to restore his power?"
Luo Chengyun nodded, "He does have other ideas, but they are not restoration. I think he will go to the Lu family to discuss it after he leaves."
Lu family?
Luo Chengxun's frown slowly relaxed. If he was going to find the Lu family, then there wouldn't be a big problem. After all, the Lu family would never join forces with others to do anything detrimental to the Luo family.
…
As expected, after Li Jiye left Luo's, he immediately went to find Lu's first. Actually, he didn't want to do this, but there was no other way. If he wanted to unite Luo's allies, it would be useless even if he didn't contact Lu's family. Lu's family had to get involved in this matter.
As Li Jiye invested in the company under the title of the last emperor, he would naturally be able to meet Lu Chang, but for the time being he could not reveal that he had left Yingzhou Island.
Fortunately, he had Luo's recommendation, so he met Lu Chang smoothly. When he saw Li Jiye, Lu Chang was shocked and wanted to bow unconsciously, but then he remembered that it was already a republic.
He tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking, "Why is Mr. Li here? Aren't you on Yingzhou Island?"
All kinds of speculations emerged in Lu Chang's mind, and he thought to himself, could it be that the Luo family wanted to help the Li family restore the Tang Dynasty? But he immediately dismissed this idea. This was impossible. If they didn't want the Tang Dynasty to perish, they would not have allowed Li Jiye to revive it.
On the one hand, he asked someone to invite his sister over, and on the other hand, he asked Li Jiye to sit down and personally poured tea for Li Jiye, giving enough face to Li Jiye, the last emperor.
Of course, the main reason is that the relationship between the Li and Luo families is still very good. After all, they have been relatives for hundreds of years. Although there have been unpleasantness in the middle, there are also many stories of the monarch and his subjects getting along well.
When Lu Qing hurried into the house, he was shocked to see that the last emperor, who had long been "exiled" to Yingzhou Island, was actually in front of him.
And we could get Luo's permission, so we immediately knew that this was a big thing to do.
"I wonder what business Mr. Li has in visiting the Lu family?"
There were only three people in the room, and Li Jiye did not pretend to be serious, but said formally: "I came to visit the Lu family this time because of something important.
The world is in turmoil now, and it is a matter of life and death.
This time I contacted Li's old friends, hoping that Lu could represent Luo and mobilize old friends and relatives, and we would write a petition together to explain the current situation in the world, so that the government can find out the shortcomings and make up for the loopholes, so as to save the current world and restore peace to the world."
Li Jiye spoke with a tone full of righteousness that made people feel favorable towards him, but Lu Chang and Lu Qing frowned deeply when they heard his words.
Lu Chang looked at Li Jiye with a hint of strangeness and said, "Do you think it is appropriate for you to do this?
And considering the current government's morality, do you think this can succeed?"
It is impossible for a last emperor to do such a thing, even if it is reasonable. Moreover, in the original abdication agreement, the last emperor and the Li royal family could no longer participate in politics. Now Li Jiye is going to openly violate it. Doesn't Li Jiye worry about the future?
Lu Qing thought deeply, but felt that Li Jiye was not such a stupid person. There must be something he had not figured out.
Facing Lü Chang's rather cold words, Li Jiye said passionately: "Is there anything in this world that can be accomplished overnight?
Is there anything in this world that can be successful as soon as you do it?
If we all care too much about our own safety, what can we accomplish?
More than a thousand years ago, when Emperor Li of Han was wreaking havoc across the world, in the face of such a tyrant, there were still loyal ministers who came forward one after another to write letters to the emperor, and were unmoved even if they faced nine deaths.
Every time I see the story of writing on the bus in history, my blood always boils and it deeply inspires me.
There are people in high positions who are causing chaos in the world. Although they are not emperors, they are doing the same thing. This is the time for people of my generation to shine!"
It was as if the gloomy sky was exploded by a thunder. When Lu Qing heard the name Emperor Li of Han, her mind became clear. She finally understood what she had overlooked.
"Mr. Li, you probably don't really think they will change. You want the government to turn their life-saving straw into a sword and stab you, just like the Han Li Emperor who wrote a letter on the bus!"
Lu Qing's voice was as loud as a bell, and she looked at Li Jiye with sparkling eyes. She had already figured out the big reading matter, and there was only one question left, which was Li Jiye's ultimate goal.
Li Jiye was a little surprised to see that Lu Qing figured it out so quickly. He was indeed the most outstanding son of the Lu family and one of the think tanks of the contemporary Luo family. He was indeed not a simple person.
Emperor Li of Han's attitude towards the memorial has been talked about for so many years. People believe that he gave up the last chance to make corrections, which eventually led to the unacceptable outcome.
“Based on my understanding of the current government, no matter how they look at it, it is impossible for them to accept our petition, but this is exactly the outcome I want.
I want to tear off their hypocritical masks and expose their ugly faces to the world."
Lu Qing said in a deep voice: "So what is your purpose?"
Li Jiye smiled and said, "My goal is the same as your Lu family's."
Lu Qing and Lu Chang's eyes condensed at the same time, and then they narrowed their eyes slightly. After a long time, they suddenly laughed at the same time, "In this case, let's do it together!
Our former—your majesty!”
