Chapter 221: Advancement
"Rebuke the falsehood of the emperor's position, gold, pearls and iron armor, and make it clear that the supreme power does not lie in high positions and power, but in everyone. Break the secular concept of power and nobility, and despise the superficial appearance of vain glory.
The intention is to break down the barriers of class, eliminate the distinction between noble and humble, and let everyone know that their destiny is precious and equality should be respected. However, the world is complicated, and practicing this path may be difficult and dangerous. It requires unity of purpose and unremitting efforts to achieve the ideal state.
However, this kind of heart is unmatched by anyone. If it really succeeds, it will really be a precedent. Even the saints will be impressed by its great achievements. "
This was a complete break between him and the king. Sitting in the carriage, Rong Xiang felt more relaxed than ever before. Looking at several letters about the Zhitong Society, his eyes became moist for some reason, and he felt a little hopeful.
When I was young, I preferred to write about the chivalry in the articles, and I felt that being incorruptible was the way to be an official, and my ideals and dreams seemed to be within reach.
He thought that he would be successful in his life and would rarely encounter any hardships, until he found out about the sufferings of people outside the city, who were only separated from him by a wall. The integrity practiced by many honest officials was not worth more than a few buckets of rice.
I have a lot of maxims in my mind, but they are difficult to express my thoughts. With treacherous people in power, I am exhausted but my will remains unyielding. I am willing to wander around for the sake of the prosperous times. I have been away for half my life in exchange for a clear and beautiful moon. I have devoted my life to writing this book and will not stop until my death.
However, I didn’t expect that the king’s lack of kindness was the cause of all the bitter consequences.
The poems of demotion are all romantic, and the rough steps are not mentioned in the final words. The lofty ambitions of the past have gradually sunk into the sea of smoke, and now I am alone facing the wind. I have experienced all the ups and downs in the world, and my fate is full of twists and turns, and my heart is looking forward to the clouds and rainbows. The king's cruelty has planted the seeds of disaster, and I don't want to suffer the same regret again.
Everyone is in the wind, gathering and separation are not up to you or me. The dynasty is about to fall, like a crumbling building, the king is incompetent, intoxicated with power and does not love his people.
Even if the ministers are full of knowledge and passion, they are powerless and can only watch the beautiful land gradually wither and the former glory fade away like the setting sun.
In the court today, sycophants are fawning on the emperor, while loyal ministers and good generals are viewed with suspicion. Government policies are in chaos, uprisings are constant, the people are suffering and complaining, and the country is already in decline.
The victory or defeat of each side depends on the chessboard of the world. After several battles, it is clear that the situation is hopeless. Dongshan cannot wait to rise again. The flags of the rebels are everywhere...
Dayong, the country he had served for almost his entire life, is now like an old man on his deathbed. He will probably watch its collapse with his own eyes, either remembering it vividly or letting it fade away like a passing cloud of smoke - both profoundness and oblivion are the hallmarks of history.

"I am Lou Yuxiao, the second son of the Lou family. I often think about the great justice of the world and the gathering of people with the same ideals. I feel a lot of emotion, so I write this article.
The wish to save countless sentient beings and keep the sun and moon lights shining brightly is like a star shining in the night, showing us the bright path. Everyone has compassion and wants to save countless sentient beings and keep the world bright. This is truly a great wish.
It is also said that "everyone is destined by heaven, and destiny is everyone." This central idea is deeply rooted in my heart. What is the destiny of man? It is not exclusive to the powerful and the rich. Everyone has destiny, and everyone can do something and achieve something. Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, regardless of gender, age or youth, everyone can establish a heart for heaven and earth and establish a destiny for the people.
In today's world, I see that the powerful and wealthy often occupy high positions, live in luxury and debauchery, and treat the common people like grass.
However, I believe that "the supreme ruler, when returning to his original state, is no more than a grass or an ant. A golden pearl or a steel helmet, when returning to his true state, is no more than a piece of rag and linen. This supreme ruler should be everyone!" If there are like-minded people who join hands in this great cause, eradicate injustice and eliminate injustice, so that everyone can get what they deserve and display their abilities, then the world will be united and a prosperous era can be expected.
I long for a gathering of people with the same aspirations and knowledge in the world. We will not judge people by their origins or wealth. We will work together to achieve a better future. We will help the poor and the needy, and save the people from danger; we will enlighten people and awaken the world from chaos. We will make justice fill the world and benevolence spread throughout the world.
I am willing to devote myself to this, do my best, and work hand in hand with you to build this ideal club. Although the road ahead is long and full of difficulties and obstacles, we are determined and fearless. When the day comes, we will see that the world is for the public and all people are happy, and we will not let down our ambitions in this life. "
Meng Shu, who was sitting at the door and was responsible for reviewing talents, looked at the letter, which could be regarded as a surrender and was full of flattery. Then he looked at Lou Yuxiao, who was sitting in front of him and looking around, for a long time.
"You are the second son of the Lou family? The son of Lou Zhenfeng, the younger brother of Lou Wancen?"
"Um, yes." When Lou Yuxiao was asked this, his tone became hesitant - his father and his sister should not have other sons and brothers, right?
Meng Shu took a deep breath and felt that it was normal to feel dizzy...
He yelled at the top of his lungs: "Brother Zeming! Cousin! Come here quickly!"
Finally, Meng Chuanbai packed up the person and the letter and gave them to Qi Zhaoshu - uh, a young master from another faction came to study, should this be considered diplomacy?
Yes, Qi Zhaoshu, who held multiple positions, was also a diplomatic leader.
In fact, Qi Zhaoshu knew about it when Lou Yuxiao entered the city, and he even sent people to follow him - after all, it was his base camp, and all of them were his own people. If he allowed the other party to come in without anyone noticing, he would have no need to be a leader.
Lou Yuxiao arrived early. The Zhitong Club was holding a small meeting during this period and there were no secrets to be hidden. Qi Zhaoshu invited him in after the meeting and paid great attention to him. He circulated the letter full of praise to everyone.
"Mr. Lou, are you here alone? Did you bring any letters from your elder sister or father?"
Lou Yuxiao scratched his head and saw a group of like-minded senior executives, the authors of those works, who were grinning foolishly when they entered the door, with a sense of silliness.
"Hey, I ran out secretly."
Everyone: “???” This kid is really brave.
If the two parties were not planning to form an alliance, if it were someone else, Lou Yuxiao would be a hostage who came to the door on his own initiative. If he was not used, it would be a waste. It would be easy to take control of the Lou family.
Qi Zhaoshu had some guesses when he heard the report from below. Now that Lou Yuxiao had confirmed it himself, he was still somewhat shocked and helpless.
"Mr. Lou should write a letter home as soon as possible."
"no problem!"
However, the Lou family did not panic because of the loss of their young master. They just did what they had to do. It was not until Lou Wancen wrote back to the Zhitong Society that he remembered that his adopted brother seemed to have gone to live with them.
So he added a family letter to the correspondence, politely expressing his gratitude to the Zhitonghui, hoping that they would take care of Lou Yuxiao, and also responded to the alliance mentioned last time.
"Amid the flames of war and the excitement of the country, I wish to work with you to turn the tide and support the broken building, so that we can enjoy the morning sun again when the spring breeze greens the land again."
Lou Wancen put down his pen and looked at another letter on the table—a letter from Wencheng.
(Let me tell you about the final arrangement of the mortal world: alliance, Jiang's exit from seclusion, breaking of the seal, rampage of demons in the world, resistance of mortals, righteousness, overthrow of the climax, birth - it's okay if you don't understand.)
(Speaking of the Zhitong Society and the Lou family working together to establish a country, what should it be called? Please help me think about it in the comments section (hands folded))
