Chapter 32 Rebellious
"So, I agreed to Senior Brother and took this opportunity to hook up with King Xin Zhu Youjian."
"It's just that Bai Ying and I were already married at that time, and Bai Ying was still pregnant, so I didn't rush to the capital immediately. Instead, I asked Ding Tai and Ding Chong to lead a group of people to work with my senior brother."
"In the next few years, I traveled between the capital and the village, taking care of my wife and children while subtly transforming Zhu Youjian."
"In order to make Zhu Youjian trust me more, senior brother forged my origin and said that I was a disciple of a hidden master. At the same time, I also used my vision and knowledge that transcended generations to make Zhu Youjian believe this story. "
Lin Zhongtian asked: "Did you succeed?"
Zhao Lihe nodded and shook his head: "I did successfully change Zhu Youjian and made him an emperor with more advanced means and vision, but I also failed because of the imperial education of the royal family and that picture. The allure of the dragon chair still made him become the beast of power called the emperor."
"Perhaps I revealed some inappropriate thoughts when I was teaching him, which made him feel that the imperial power of the Zhu family was threatened. So after ascending to the throne of the emperor, the first person he turned against was not Wei Zhongxian, but me. .”
Zhao Lihe said in a faint tone, with a look of hatred on his face, but also a little sad.
Lin Zhongtian nodded with a clear face, expressing his understanding.
After all, Zhao Lihe was a soldier in his previous life, and had received ideological and political education in the army. His thoughts were bound to be red. But for people in this world, especially the royal family, this kind of red thought was like a scourge.
Zhu Youjian was keenly aware of the threat of this kind of thought, so he stabbed Zhao Lihe in the back decisively regardless of his past friendship.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "However, you still have a hand."
Zhao Lihe nodded and said: "Yes, most of the people in the village are descendants of the Qi family army who did not want to serve the Ming Dynasty, and the children who grew up with me were influenced by me and are more open-minded in their thinking, so I tried to teach them the same way as in the army."
"It turns out that the dragon-slaying skills in the textbooks of later generations are really useful. Although these children have not yet become redists, they have begun to look at the problem from another angle and have different views on today's court and the existence of the emperor. view."
"So, I took them as the foundation and established the Tongmenghui - actually at first I wanted to name it Tongtongshe, but considering that I had revealed the word "comrades" to Zhu Youjian, I changed it to Tongmenghui."
Lin Zhongtian nodded with a smile: "Mr. Sun, I understand."
Zhao Lihe smiled knowingly, a comfortable smile that he had never shown even when facing his wife Ding Baiying.
"At the beginning, the Alliance was just a Jianghu force, similar to a spy or an intelligence organization in the Jianghu. But as the initial group of members spread to all corners of the country, the Alliance's power gradually became stronger."
"Relying on the way of thinking I taught them, as well as their own intelligence and superb martial arts, these people basically have their own power and base. But at that time, I was still with Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, and few I have to contact them, so Bai Ying handles most of the matters for me."
Lin Zhongtian nodded thoughtfully and suddenly asked: "Does Lu Wenzhao know about this?"
Zhao Lihe shook his head: "I don't know, this is my last trump card, and it is also the last support for those descendants of the Qi family army in the village who are unwilling to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Senior brother has already chosen the court at that time. Before I retire and return to my hometown, I will not I’ll let him know.”
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "Sail the boat with care, your last caution still saved your life."
Zhao Lihe smiled bitterly: "This is because Zhu Youjian was not ruthless enough to kill me immediately. He just gave me a glass of poisonous wine, which made my throat mute, and then kept me in the Tianzi No. 1 cell. Ignore it."
"If he had been more cruel, I might have died long ago without a burial place."
"Who can blame this?" Lin Zhongtian curled his lips, "Obviously he is a time traveler, with a wealth of knowledge that transcends the times, but he wants to sneak into the court, engage in intrigues and intrigues with a group of ancients, and engage in court struggles... Tsk, tsk, What do you want me to say about you?"
"yes!"
Zhao Lihe said sadly: "It was only in prison that I figured this out. Since I have the foundation of my comrades and fellow sects and the name of a descendant of the Qi family army, I should stay in the village and develop well until the Ming Dynasty. When it is ruined, refugees are everywhere, and thieves and bandits are on the rise, if you recruit more troops, you will rebel against him!"
When he said the last sentence, Zhao Lihe gritted his teeth and there was fire in his eyes.
Lin Zhongtian's eyes lit up, and deep interest emerged in his heart.
Traveling back in time to a martial arts movie, what could be more attractive than the heroic romance?
Of course it is a rebellion!
If Lin Zhongtian was allowed to raise his own flag and cause trouble, he would definitely be unwilling to do so.
After all, how can a mere mortal emperor be compared with the Lord of the Void Gap.
Moreover, rebellion is not an easy task. It will take at least ten years, decades, or even generations. With this time, Lin Zhongtian might as well seize the emperor directly and quietly spend a few days as an emperor. .
But if it was to help others rebel, especially Zhao Lihe, who was also a time traveler, then Lin Zhongtian would be very interested.
Of course, this is also because Zhao Lihe's character is more to his liking.
If Zhao Lihe failed to live up to his expectations and let Lin Zhongtian look down on him, then Lin Zhongtian would at best rescue him from the prison and leave him to fend for himself.
But after getting along with him for a day and a night, Lin Zhongtian felt that this person was someone he could make friends with.
Without hesitation, Lin Zhongtian said enthusiastically: "It's not too late to rebel now!"
When Zhao Lihe heard this, he was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and said firmly as if he had made some decision: "Brother Lin, you rescue me from danger. I owe you my life. If Brother Lin is interested in the Dragon Throne in the Golden Palace, The Alliance and I are willing to give our fullest assistance!"
"..."
Lin Zhongtian was a little stunned and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you thinking, why would I be interested in that dragon chair?"
"Then why do you say that, brother?"
"Of course I want to trick you into rebelling!"
Lin Zhongtian said calmly.
Zhao Lihe's eyes widened, his lips moved for a long time, and he whispered: "Brother, I really can't be the emperor!"
Lin Zhongtian glared back: "Then you still said you wanted to rebel against him?"
Zhao Lihe was a little embarrassed: "It's just angry words, just angry words! Besides, at the end of this dynasty, there are many rebels. It doesn't mean that if you rebel, you must be the one who destroys the emperor. We can rebel first, and then slowly look for candidates. It's really not possible. Just learn from the West and develop a constitutional monarchy or some kind of parliamentary system."
Lin Zhongtian was speechless: "What are you thinking about? China's two thousand years of feudal dynasty civilization history, without experiencing great ruin, do you think these people can really accept such a shocking institutional concept?"
"If you ask me, you might as well be the emperor honestly, wait until the dynasty is established, eliminate internal and external troubles, and then use the majesty of the founding emperor to gradually delegate power and establish some system of separation of powers to check and balance the imperial power."
"I just don't know if you are still willing to do this when you become emperor..."
Having said this, Lin Zhongtian paused and looked at Zhao Lihe suspiciously.
"You really don't want to be the emperor?"
"I really don't want to." Zhao Lihe said with a bitter smile, "Brother Lin, don't even think about it. If I really wanted to be emperor, how could I choose to assist King Xin? The name of Qi Jiajun is worthless in the court, but Among the rebels in the world, he is a shining gold-letter sign."
"There are many rebels who rebelled in the name of Qi Jiajun. They can raise a rebel army, let alone me, a genuine descendant of Qi Jiajun."
"What's more, I have been with Zhu Youjian for so many years, and I have met the emperor several times. To put it bluntly, in addition to having great power, this emperor is a prisoner locked in the Golden Palace and cannot go anywhere. I still think about it. From now on, I will travel around the world with Bai Ying, how can I be locked up in the capital by a mere emperor?"
