Chapter 190: Disunity and Mob

"What do you mean by that?"

Chen Guang's face changed drastically, and his tiger eyes stared at Wu Sheng intently, full of disbelief.

"Brother Chen Guangda, let's just crown ourselves a king for fun. Just to create some momentum."

Wu Sheng said seriously: "If you really want to be the emperor, how can we compare with each other? In terms of prestige and reputation, who can compare with Mo Qiu? In terms of army and money, who can compare with Huang Chao? In terms of the foundation and heritage of rebellion, who can surpass the leader of the White Lotus Sect? Brother Chen Guang, it's not that I don't support you, but we have to think about it ourselves, why should we be the emperor?"

These words are truly heartfelt.

Even if it is a rebellion, we cannot ignore the facts.

You can't compare with him in reputation, you don't have many soldiers, and you don't have enough experience. You can't say you want to rebel, so you are the emperor, right? There are too many emperors in the world! "So, you never thought you would succeed from the beginning?"

Chen Guang's face darkened and his voice trembled.

Although I was very angry, I couldn't find any reason to refute it.

But I just felt unhappy, extremely unhappy, as if there were flies in the bowl of food while I was eating, and only the first two chopsticks of food were considered delicious.

This feeling is definitely not a happy one.

"How did you succeed?"

Wu Sheng asked, "Even if we put these things aside and just talk about individual strength, Mo Qiu, Huang Chao, and the White Lotus Sect Leader are all martial arts masters. Martial arts masters! Without the protection of strong people of the same level, what can they do even if they sit on the throne?"

This is a very realistic problem.

Throughout the dynasties, looking at those emperors who successfully overthrew the previous dynasty and ascended the throne, most of them were martial arts masters themselves. Even if they were not, they definitely had the full support of martial arts masters behind them! It is true that it is not easy for a master to be an enemy of thousands of people, but the problem is that it is too easy for a master to take a person's life!

When a person's power reaches the level of a martial arts master, national laws can no longer discipline him. Once he shamelessly abandons benevolence, righteousness, and morality, everyone will have a headache.

“.”

Chen Guang was speechless for a moment, his lips moved slightly, but he could not utter a word. Listening to the sounds of fighting and roaring all over the mountains, a myriad of thoughts flooded into his mind.

His beautiful dream was finally shattered.

Chen Guang was silent for a long time.

Wu Sheng patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Brother Chen Guang, don't feel too bad. What kind of life did we live before the rebellion? What kind of life do we live now? As a human being, we should always be content! Isn't it true that contentment brings happiness? Not long ago, you took in several concubines, but they were all daughters of wealthy families. How could we enjoy them before? Our life now is good enough."

"Don't tell me that!"

Chen Guang waved his hands angrily. He didn't know where his anger came from, but it just rose from his heart. "If that's the case, why did you persuade me to rebel in the first place?!"

In the end, the target of the anger was Wu Sheng.

"What are you talking about, brother?"

Wu Sheng pointed at the sea of ​​people rushing towards the imperial mausoleum, "If we don't rebel, how can we have so many people? Who wants to live with hundreds or thousands of people hiding in the mountains and going hungry twice in three days? Anyway, if we are caught by the government, we will die. If we want to rebel, we might as well do it in a big way!"

"So, you never thought you would succeed from the beginning?"

Chen Guang understood.

"Of course you can't succeed! Unless you can be promoted to a martial arts master, but you just started practicing the internal organs not long ago, and you are still many years away from mastering the internal organs. Even if you can really be promoted to a master, how long will it take? At least ten years! Can this battle last for more than ten years? Impossible! Even if Mo Qiu, Huang Chao and the White Lotus Sect Leader are gone, no longer fighting, and dead, the final winner will still be the Four-Nation Alliance."

Wu Sheng said affirmatively.

This is a very realistic problem. Born in a poor family, they embarked on the path of martial arts by chance. How could they practice martial arts properly when they had no money to buy tonic medicine or even had no food to eat? Even if they ran into a chaotic world and took the opportunity to stir up the situation, it was still okay. If they really wanted to guide the situation in the world, they were far from qualified! Look at the entire Dayue, who are the people who can make a big scene and stir up the situation? Mo Qiu, Huang Chao, and the White Lotus Sect Leader! At the very least, they have to be the temple of Dayue.

Can it be compared? You know it can’t be compared!

They really don’t have that ability!

Even if they were given another three, five, or even ten years, even if the journey was smooth, it would still not be enough for them to cultivate to the Grandmaster level!

The foundation is far from enough, how can one achieve success overnight? Even storytellers dare not brag about it.

"Brother, think about it carefully. Isn't what I said right? I know you feel bad, but it's better to talk about these things as soon as possible and stop thinking about them."

Wu Sheng consoled.

"So what are we doing?"

Chen Guang was at a loss. At this moment he really didn't know the meaning of everything he had done.

It turns out that from beginning to end, his rebellion, his claim to the throne, and his efforts were all a complete joke.

He is probably the only one who is immersed in the beautiful dream of what if he succeeds.

The people around him are much more realistic and smarter than him, and have thought of these problems in advance.

"Rob the imperial mausoleum! There are so many treasures buried here. If you don't take the initiative when you have such a good opportunity, you won't even be able to eat a hot meal by the time others think of it!"

Wu Sheng said as a matter of course.

"Then what?"

Chen Guang continued to ask.

"Then we will have money! With money, we can live a good life! No matter who wants to be the emperor, there are so many of us. We will go to whoever succeeds. Why can't we get an official position? We can be an official and have money. Isn't that enough?"

Wu Sheng said immediately.

"Do you think others will leave these things to you?"

Chen Guang swallowed for some reason and felt a chill in his heart.

"Who said we took it all? Brother Chen Guang, why can't you come to your senses? We'll take the stolen money for now. When someone is sure to take the throne, we'll offer 70% of it to him! The rest will be enough for us to live a life of wealth and glory!"

Wu Sheng said with a smile.

"70%?"

"certainly!"

"We worked so hard and so many of our brothers died, just to give up 70%?!"

Chen Guang clenched his fists tightly.

"It would be good if we could offer 70% of our gifts. I'm just afraid that they won't accept them, and we might have to take our gifts and go to another country!"

Wu Sheng shrugged, "It depends on what kind of person the new emperor will be."

"ha"

Chen Guang laughed, a loud laugh, that laughter was long and intense, with unspeakable grief and helplessness, "It turns out that after working so hard for so long and gathering so many brothers, I still have to beg for food in the end!"

"Brother, what are you talking about?"

Wu Sheng was very unhappy, "With so many people, how can we get food?"

Chen Guang looked at Wu Sheng quietly.

Neither gave in to the other.

After a long time, Chen Guang squatted down dejectedly, and his originally tall body shrank into a ball.

It’s ridiculous that after working so hard, I end up just becoming a beggar!

No wonder those people would resort to knife attacking their own people.

Anyway, they will all break up in the end. They only come together for money and livelihood. If they grab the money in advance, they can naturally find a livelihood on their own. After all, what is so attractive about him? It can't just be based on the saying "Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species?"

Ha, are kings, princes, generals, and ministers all of them different in kind?

Finally, is it the turn of the peasants to be in charge?

He should figure this out.

That's really boring.

"Don't forget, in the beginning, you just wanted to survive."

Someone came up to them and spoke calmly.

Chen Guang suddenly raised his head.

Gong Shangguo stood in front of him and said so.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It was at this time that Chen Guangcai remembered that there was such a person in his gang.

Gong Shangguo.

This former young master has changed a lot. Since he left and came back, he has become taciturn. He just follows them and watches them quietly, and never offers any opinions.

Most of the time he didn't speak, and occasionally he would be in a daze. When asked what he wanted or what he wanted to do, he would just shake his head and stay there silently. Over time, Chen Guang even forgot that such a person existed.

But today he came over.

When I saw Gong Shangguo, the scene of their first acquaintance came to my mind. At that time, we were all just people who had gathered together to escape disaster. In order to get a bite to eat, we dared to rob on the official road.

"I"

Chen Guang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Why did everything change without us noticing? What caused all this? "The greed in people's hearts is endless. At first, it was just for a meal. Later, when they had food to eat, they wanted to live a better life. The world is difficult, so they need to gather more people to have strength. With more people, other thoughts arise. Since everyone is rebelling, why can't I? After the rebellion, what happens? Burning, killing, looting, and plundering, life is better, and they want more things. They are no longer satisfied with having enough food and clothing and marrying wives and concubines. They want to capture a few cities and then become kings. Since they have become kings, it seems that they are only one step away from the throne of emperor, right?"

Gong Shangguo stared at Chen Guang, stared at Wu Sheng, and it seemed as if he was staring at the entire world that once belonged to Dayue.

How many people in this world still hold such thoughts? When they first rose up, their justice was impeccable. This was a cry from ordinary people who were oppressed to the point of no return and had no way out, before dying of hunger, cold, and exhaustion.

However, Chen Guang and Wu Sheng were very lucky. They did not die on the road like other people. Instead, for various reasons, they continued to move forward.

Gong Shangguo came back again at that time.

He witnessed the transformation of the two people with his own eyes, and saw with his own eyes how these people became what they are today step by step.

The greed in the human heart is endless and never satisfied.

When you can't survive, you can only look forward to a full meal; after having a full meal, you want to live a good life; after living a good life, you want more things, and eventually things become completely different from the original step by step.

At this time, to the real grassroots people of Dayue, there was not much difference between them and the Four-Nation Alliance.

The biggest difference is probably that there is still a group of lower-class people who can join them.

Gong Shangguo agreed with the saying "Kings, princes, generals and ministers are all born with different blood types". Even though he was of the bloodline of the Dayue royal family and was destined to have no chance to join the new dynasty, he still wanted to do something.

Mo Qiu wants to enlighten the people, so he comes to the lowest level and sees what these people can achieve step by step after they have mastered the power.

If we can gain enough experience and lessons from it, we can summarize it and give it to the future new dynasty as a gift of rebirth, using the people as a mirror.

"I"

Chen Guang opened his mouth with a painful expression.

Even Wu Sheng was speechless for a moment and couldn't explain the reason.

Gong Shangguo had seen them at their most miserable state, and had also watched with his own eyes as they drove their men to attack the imperial tomb.

More than seven years have passed since then, and everything has changed.

Chen Guang and Wu Sheng are no longer the original Chen Guang and Wu Sheng.

"It was only then that I realized that Brother Mo's greatest talent was not coming up with the Ten Principles of Mohism, but the first sentence."

Gong Shangguo did not need their explanation, nor did he need to explain anything. He just kept talking to himself, "Promote the benefits of the world and eliminate the harm of the world."

In this world, the benefits of the world are worthy of praise, and the harm of the world must be eliminated.

But the problem is that many people cannot see the benefits of the world, or even if they see it, they would rather go against the benefits of the world for a little personal gain.

All harm comes from this.

"There is only one kind of justice in the world, which is to live, but there are countless kinds of evil that come from the desire to live a better life."

Gong Shangguo pondered alone for seven years, and only today did he truly understand Mo Qiu's thoughts.

Then he asked again: "Do you want to be the emperor? Let's not talk about the situation, military power, or background. Can you promote the capable and demote the incompetent? Can you ensure that officials are not always noble and people are not always humble? Can you educate the people and make your policies enlightened?"

Chen Guang was speechless.

He just wanted to be emperor.

Yes, just thinking.

What will happen after that? I don’t know.

He had previously complained that Wu Sheng was too realistic, but if his dream came true, what would happen next? There was no next, because he had never thought about it carefully.

It seems that everything will be fine as long as he ascends the throne, and at worst he can live like Emperor Zong Ming.

So when faced with Gong Shangguo's questioning, he could not give his own answer.

How can he manage a country if he can't even manage tens of thousands of people? Is it too realistic to blame the brothers who followed him through life and death?

Or is it the unwillingness in your heart?

Chen Guang's eyes were full of confusion.

It's not that the ending was already determined, but from the very beginning, he was not truly prepared to conquer the world, and he never worked hard to achieve the little hope in his heart.

Even if the situation hits you hard and you take the opportunity to stir up some waves, it is doomed to be impossible to truly succeed.

First ask if it’s suitable, then ask if it’s possible.

Is he worthy? The answer is already in my heart.

"Hey, someone has attacked the imperial mausoleum before me? Who is so brave? Come out and show me."

In the silence, a voice resounded through the sky, drowning out the noisy sounds all around.

Someone walked over calmly, with a lotus in full bloom.
