Chapter 119 I made, I created, I--
"It's me who made everything here!"
When saying this, Chen Moran almost had an impulse to stand on the lawn and shout at Nanjing at the foot of the mountain and at the whole country and China.
"I! Chen Moran is the creator of this empire!"
It is that I created all this, so I should have everything, and I should have supreme power!
Of course, many things can be thought about, but you can't do them! At least you can't do it in front of others. If you carry someone on your back, maybe you can roar a few times!
In the face of the surprise and puzzlement in Ji Li's eyes, Chen Moran was also stunned. Does it mean that she doesn't agree with her point of view? She is her wife, the queen of China.
"They chose you!"
After a moment of surprise, Ji Li stared at her husband and said seriously word by word.
"I am the choice of the people!"
When he said this, Chen Moran suddenly held his head high, and his expression was full of enthusiasm.
"It's history that chose me!"
Perhaps in order to prove his "legitimate" surname, Chen Moran deliberately said in an unusually positive tone.
It was history that chose me!
When saying this sentence, Chen Moran was excited for no reason. Yes, he was not only the choice of the people, but also the choice of history. Is there a more reasonable and legal reason than this?
I am worthy of their choice. I... "People can choose you, but they can also turn their back on you!"
At this moment, a cold word reached Chen Moran's ear. Following this familiar voice, Chen Moran saw Ji Li's expressionless and even a little pale face.
"What...what are you talking about?"
"History can choose you, but it can also eliminate you!"
Another sentence, the surprise and anger on her husband's face were seen in Ji Li's eyes, which only made her heartache. She never thought that her husband would be lost in supreme power so quickly. Did he forget it? Did he forget the exterminated royal families one by one in Chinese history? Even with... Doesn't he know... "When you make your choice, the future is also making his choice!"
Cold words, beautiful face, and a pair of beautiful eyes are full of questioning at this time. Listening to his wife's words, Chen Moran could hardly believe his ears. Is this what his wife should say?
"You are the queen of the empire, your son is the emperor of the empire, and his son will also be the emperor of the empire..."
After waiting for her father-in-law to finish speaking, Ji Li said in a frightened word.
"But according to your opinion, in less than three hundred years, our descendants will be pushed to the guillo stage!"
Since she married Chen Moran, in order to let herself know more about the Chinese people, Ji Li has been studying Chinese history seriously. When she has never studied Chinese history, she has never known that this country is different from other countries. This country has its own special "laws". The rise and fall of his empire is not the strength of the empire. His rise and fall is the most direct reaction, with the demise of the empire!
Every change of dynasties brings decades or even hundreds of years of bloody wind. Tens of millions of people died tragically in the change of the empire, and what about the royal family closely connected to the lifeline of the empire? Without exception, he was slaughtered by the nine clans.
And this is what Ji Li fears. She vaguely feels that once her partner has lost herself in supreme power, then he may become a great empire, but what about his descendants?
Ji's eyes are on her daughter who is being watched and played by female officials in the distance. Maybe their fate will be determined by her father's choice.
"Impossible!"
In the face of his wife's panic, Chen Moran roared categorically, which stunned the attendants and court ladies dozens of meters away at the same time. At the same time, they chose to retreat a few meters or more to leave enough space for His Majesty and the Queen.
Seeing Ji Li's seemingly fearful shoulder trembling, Chen Moran realized his attitude and looked at his wife with a frightened face. Why... Why did she have to tell herself what she had never wanted to face?
Leaning against the back of the chair, Chen Moran looked at his wife with slightly apologetically apologetically. Deep in his heart, he never wanted to hurt his wife, which was by no means what a man should do.
"Ji Li, you don't understand. You don't know what I gave them!"
While slowing down his tone, Chen Moran took two deep breaths to calm down his mood.
"I have given respect to this country and nation!"
Looking into the distance, Chen Moran changed to an extremely deep voice.
"What was this country like before me, and what is it like now? They can all see it, so they won't oppose me!"
Don't you really oppose yourself? There must be the opposition, just like the man who disembarking in Shanghai and is about to be escorted back to Nanjing for trial. He is his opponent, and even the leader among the opponents.
Hmm! Be sure to send him to prison.
When he made this decision in his heart, Chen Moran seemed to deceive himself there again.
"For China, except for the prosperity of the people and the strength of the country, everything is empty talk!"
In his heart, Chen Moran is more willing to use the word " bullshit". In the face of the national survival crisis, only he can see the future clearly. As long as he can hold absolute power, he can lead the country to strength and make the people here rich.
"Now, in Shanghai, there are foreign warships, even in Nanjing, where you can see the rampage of foreign [***] ships. China's land is occupied by foreign countries. This is the current situation in China, and this is exactly what I want to change! It's also the most important thing the people asked me to do!"
At this time, it seems that intentionally or unintentionally, even Chen Moran himself did not notice that he began to quote the people.
"Ten years, all this will end in ten years. China will be stronger than today. He will be the most powerful and richest country in Asia. At that time, China will enjoy more dignity than any other era, and the Chinese people will be happier and richer than any other period, and!"
He deliberately paused his words. Despite facing his wife, Chen Moran did not find that he was giving a speech. To be precise, he was using a speech to persuade his wife and accept his own opinions.
"Rich and dignified! They will raise their heads in front of foreigners. They walk in any corner of the world, and no one will discriminate against them anymore. They will..."
In his speech, Chen Moran seemed to see that scene. A powerful and rich China appeared in the east. Any country would tremble when facing this country. When he made a sound, the whole world would listen. This... This is the country of his dreams. Home! !
"But what about after you?"
Looking at her husband who seemed to be immersed in the future, Ji Li asked seriously.
"After me?"
Chen Moran, who was awakened by his wife's words, looked at his wife in surprise.
"Where are your sons, your grandchildren, and your descendants? This generation of Chinese people need a strong country more. For a strong country, they are willing to give everything, but what about the future? What about the Chinese people in the future?
Ji Li's tone still has the meaning of questioning.
"Yes, the times and the people have chosen you, but what about the future? If the times and the people choose something else, at that time, it may not be just a family whose fate is closely connected to the empire. If he loses his connection with the empire, even your first-made empire will be lost!"
Perhaps because she was afraid that her husband would not want to face this problem, Ji Li said in an emphasized tone.
"It's not just the change of the name of the country, but the rise and fall of a country! The powerful empire built with the efforts of countless people may be immersed in third-rate countries, this..."
His eyes stared at his husband and stroked his hands.
"Is this... what you want? After I die, even if the flood is huge! Louis XV's prophecy! When he arrived at Louis XVI, he was sent to the guilloch!"
In exchange for Ji Li's words, Chen Moran's heart trembled. This was exactly what she was most worried about and afraid of. Her thousand-year-old empire was by no means a "strong fortress". She, the emperor, was elected. If she gave them power, in case... held her husband's hands tightly, Ji Li looked at Husband, looking at him as if he was thinking, Ji Li said again.
"If you want to avoid all this, then be an emperor who makes their eternal praises, instead of..."
"My Empire!"
With a low hum, Chen Moran wanted to pull his hand away from Ji Li's hand. He had too many ways to deal with those who were against him. There was no revolution in the era of backguns, not to mention... "Your empire is given by the people!"
Looking at her husband who wanted to break free, Ji Li grabbed him tightly.
"Similar, the people can also take it back!"
Then I won't give them the possibility and opportunity to be taken away! Yes! This is what I have to do. What I want to protect is this empire. The empire I created is just like when I built it!
"Hmm! Ji Li, I think you misunderstood me. I will give it to them..."
Silence for a moment, what do they need? Yes, what they need now is the strength and dignity of the empire, which is exactly what they need, isn't it?
"Give them what they need. What they need now is the strength and dignity of the country. As for other things... Let's wait until later. Didn't I promise them to make a constitution? And they also agreed that ten years later, China will definitely make a constitution! Ji Li, you can rest assured that this country will definitely get out of China's historical cycle. He will only become stronger and stronger, and there will never be a day of decline!"
I will never let them take away my empire. This is mine! I made it, I created it, I... As I said this, Chen Moran kept repeating such a sentence to himself in his heart. This is my own empire. I must be guarding him. This empire will continue to be strong and will be passed on for thousands of generations!
