Chapter 1634 Public Enemy (First update, please subscribe)
Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant.
This sentence emerged in Xu Zili's mind, reminding him of the various ugly aspects of human nature he had seen during his years as a local prosecutor. Those people who appeared to be righteous on the surface but did whatever they could to achieve their own selfish interests gave him a deep understanding of human nature.
Although he despised those people's behavior, it was those experiences that changed his inner world and also allowed him to see greater room for maneuver.
"Make an appointment with Schinder of the Stanford Railway Company."
Xu Zili looked out the window, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through the essence of human nature. He looked at the twilight outside through the window, but he was constantly calculating in his heart. He knew that this meeting with Schinder of Stanford Railway Company would be the most important decision in his life. He needed to make the right decision at this critical moment to make his plan go smoothly.
The car was shuttling through the city streets, and the atmosphere inside the car seemed a bit dull. Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Li Zhijian only occasionally looked at him through the rearview mirror, looking at the president who was in charge of the Advisory Council. Now, after years of hard work, they were getting closer to the final goal little by little.
The car was quiet at this time, and Xu Zili did not break the silence. He leaned on the seat, slightly closed his eyes, as if he was resting, or as if he was thinking about something. For some reason, although he was getting closer and closer to the goal, his heart was full of doubts and uneasiness, but he did not show it. He knew that only by keeping a cool head could he make the right decision at this critical moment.
He closed his eyes and didn't notice the car reflected in the rearview mirror. After driving for a while, the car overtook it again. Even if it was a car of an imperial official, it would not be possible to drive on the line and occupy the lane. When the car passed by side by side, the people in the car didn't know it was following them. In fact, in the past few days, the Investigation Bureau has used all means and technologies, even reconnaissance satellites, to conduct all-round monitoring of Xu Zili and his accomplices.
Even when Xu Zili's car was driving, at an altitude of 18,000 meters, there was a drone tracking his car. As the world's largest and most efficient intelligence agency, it possesses all kinds of intelligence equipment that the outside world cannot imagine. When all these are added together, the role they play is unimaginable to the outside world. After all, for most people, they may only be able to imagine how intelligence agencies work from certain movies or literary works, but only those who are in the intelligence agencies themselves know that the development of modern technology is far beyond their imagination.
Just like now, when Xu Ziling was in the car, even though he was in a prominent position, he could not imagine that there were so many eyes staring at him.
While a drone was flying in the air with him, reconnaissance satellites in space were staring at the car on the road, and even the eavesdropping device in his car was constantly broadcasting signals, Xu Zili was still in the car thinking about how to push all this forward.
Xu Zili's thoughts gradually became clear, and he understood what he needed to do. He knew that he could only achieve his goal through his own efforts. He believed in his ability and his judgment.
In this uncertain world, he needs to face challenges with a cool head and firm determination. Only in this way can he lay a solid foundation for his future and achieve the unspeakable goal deep in his heart.
What is that goal?
Xu Zili even forgot when he set this ambition, and he didn't even know why he set that ambition. But in his opinion, his ambition was the most important thing in the world, and those who followed it would prosper, and those who went against it would perish.
"Everything I did was for Ming Dynasty."
Once again, looking at the prosperous Zhongdu outside the car window, Xu Zili suddenly felt a sense of mission in his heart. He seemed to see the mission that emerged in the heart of Emperor Taizu when he landed on the beach from the "America" and faced the desolate beach of Nanhua.
What did that sense of mission create back then?
It is a vast empire that far exceeds people's imagination.
How many people in that era could have imagined that Emperor Taizu could accomplish such a great feat?
At that time?
Who live on this land?
Just a bunch of white people.
In their eyes, the yellow race is an alien.
It was for this reason that Emperor Taizu continued his conquests, and eventually, in just a few decades, he created a powerful empire that was unprecedented and unrivaled.
Who could have imagined all this at that time?
No one could have imagined that Emperor Taizu could accomplish such a great feat.
Why was Emperor Taizu able to do all this?
Because he believed that he could do it, because he believed that everything he did was for the future of this nation.
"It's a pity that since Emperor Shizu, no one has been able to create the career that Emperor Shizu started."
This thought once again emerged in Xu Zili's mind.
Even when he was very young, Xu Zili's favorite place to go was the Hualing Mausoleum of Emperor Shizu. He was always immersed in the division of labor crisis of Emperor Shizu. He always imagined that if he could live in that era, he might achieve great things. He might achieve great things.
In fact, for him, what he dreamed of was not such a great achievement. What he dreamed of was just to witness that greatness under the command of Emperor Taizu.
But in his opinion, since Emperor Shizu, no other emperor has been able to lead the country like Emperor Shizu and create great achievements that are unimaginable to outsiders.
"This country is controlled by a bunch of insects. From now on, I will change everything!"
Just at this moment, the car passed by the statue of Emperor Shizu. Looking at the statue of Emperor Shizu standing on the pedestal with a sword in his hand, and looking at the broken chains in front of the sword, at this moment, the uneasiness in Xu Zili's heart completely disappeared.
Staring at the statue, Xu Zili muttered to himself.
"Your Majesty, one day, I will prove to you that everything I have done is for the Ming Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty to be great again!"
Yes, this is Xu Zili’s dream. His dream has never been power or wealth. His dream is to make the Ming Dynasty great again, just like that exciting era.
In this great empire, everyone works towards a common goal.
That era was so fascinating, that era was so perfect, that era belonged to the Ming Dynasty, but what about now?
Today's world is a society full of material things, where money is paramount and material desires are rampant. Everyone has no sense of mission and everyone is chasing after wealth, sex and desire.
"Your Majesty, if you saw all this, you would be disappointed."
Xu Zili turned his head to look at the statue of Emperor Taizu which was gradually disappearing into the distance and prayed silently in his heart.
"May the Emperor's spirit in heaven bless me and enable me to accomplish all this..."
