As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked into an uproar.

Everyone looked at Chen Kedao in shock. No one expected that he would say such a thing. How could he be so bold?

Luo Sigong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, who was standing on one side, also had a look of shock on his face.

It is true that what Chen Kedao said was too outrageous.

With Chen Kedao's remarks like this, where do you put those condescending people?

The scholars will definitely not agree. They are obviously superior gentlemen, but you directly treat them like ordinary people. They become the same people as businessmen, farmers and craftsmen. Only the scholars can tolerate it.

Weird.

In addition to scholars, nobles and relatives also cannot stand such remarks.

What do you mean we are all the same?

We are different!

We are obviously different, we are all superior people. How can we be compared with other people? This is insulting us! How dare you Chen Kedao say such remarks.

This is how Luo Sigong feels. Isn't this Chen Kedao afraid of death?

In fact, Luo Sigong knew that there were not just one or two people who were not afraid of death.

The so-called defenders are Chen Kedao and others. These people are not afraid of death, and even regard martyrdom as the most glorious thing. They are responsible for such trivial matters as life and death.

The key issue is not this. Doesn't Chen Kedao know what His Majesty would think?

Because there is a contradiction here.

If everyone is the same, then where do you put His Majesty?

Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. The Emperor is appointed by God and is destined by Heaven.

If everyone is the same, where do you put the emperor?

Why did this so-called equal person who asked before die so miserably?

It's not because the emperor doesn't like your remarks.

Don't talk like this. Mencius's idea of ​​​​valuing the people and despising the monarch cannot be carried out.

When the emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty, he just shouts slogans. In many cases, scholars even dare not shout slogans.

Under such circumstances, how do you explain and implement such a doctrine? What is the difference between this and seeking death?

However, one thing Luo Sigong didn't understand was that Chen Kedao had gone to the palace to give lectures to His Majesty.

And the reason why I am here to help him is entirely because His Majesty wants to help Chen Kedao. Didn't he tell His Majesty these things?

Or maybe it means that Chen Kedao has already said it, but His Majesty doesn't care.

There's something going on here! Luo Sigong's intuition told him so.

If Chen Kedao hadn't said it before, this was the crime of deceiving the emperor. There is no need to think about how miserable his fate would be.

The key issue is that it will implicate himself. At the critical moment when Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are fighting, if such a big thing happens, he will be the loser. He will definitely die miserably by then.

If Chen Kedao had told His Majesty before, then His Majesty would agree with his idea? This is something Luo Sigong couldn't even imagine.

Sure enough, someone has already stood up under the stage.

The man who stood up was also dressed like a scholar. He walked directly onto the stage, cupped his hands to those around him, and then cupped his hands to Chen Kedao before he said, "Student Li Ruyu, I have met you all and met Mr. Chen."

This Li Ruyu said it very politely, but even a fool could see that this person was just looking for trouble.

After glancing at Chen Kedao, Li Ruyu said directly: "Mr. Chen, the student has something unclear, please give me some advice."

Chen Kedao nodded and said with a smile: "Please tell me."

Li Ruyu was not polite and said directly: "Since Sir believes that all living things are equal, then students dare to ask Sir, where do you place the emperor?"

When these words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned again.

Why are there so many bold people everywhere today? Is this a casual question?

This is making fun of His Majesty. You are really not afraid of His Majesty's investigation.

Cold sweat broke out on Luo Sigong's face. He was very scared now.

It was enough to have the bold Chen Kedao, but now there is another Li Ruyu.

Is Your Majesty someone you can discuss casually? Or is it on this occasion?

Don't take me with you even if you die!

Chen Kedao was not in a hurry. He had already discussed this issue with the emperor in the palace. At this time, he could be said to be confident.

After taking a look at Li Ruyu, Chen Kedao said with a smile: "In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king. What is the reason for this? Naturally, it is because your majesty is the destiny of destiny and the aspiration of the people. All people are born,

Put the emperor under his control. The emperor is the ruler of all the people in this country."

Li Ruyu looked at Chen Kedao and said calmly: "Isn't that the emperor who was born to be emperor? How can we talk about the equality of all people?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar after they had just recovered from the shock.

This Li Ruyu is too courageous. This is criticizing His Majesty. Is this risking his life?

Everyone subconsciously took two steps back.

The people who originally wanted to cause trouble for Chen Kedao are now timid and want to leave the battlefield as soon as possible.

Are these two people crazy? Is it okay to say such nonsense?

Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards on the side of the stage, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot. He really wanted to rush forward with his men and take these two people directly to Beizhen Fusi Prison and give them a good beating.

Are you trying to trick me to death?

But Luo Sigong didn't dare to move, because if he pressed it forcefully now, it would be more troublesome later.

Now he can only rely on Chen Kedao.

As long as Chen Kedao can refute this Li Ruyu, then things will turn around; if not, then he may be doomed this time.

I saw that Chen Kedao was still unhurried and took a step forward. He said: "Emperor Taizu drove out the Tartars, liberated China, swept across the eight wastelands, and swept across the Liuhe. Only then did our Ming Dynasty have the territory it has today. Your Majesty's destiny is your destiny.

The destiny of the Ming Dynasty is in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor owns the world. Because the emperor established the kingdom of China and repeated the achievements of the country, it is heaven that takes advantage of it. Therefore, the emperor is appointed by heaven to rule all the people."

As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions softened. There seemed to be nothing wrong with what Chen Kedao said, at least it made sense.

It's just that some things have been reversed.

In the past, destiny rested with the emperor, so the emperor could rule the world.

But according to Chen Youdao, it was because the emperor first performed meritorious deeds, settled the country, and was able to bring peace to the troubled times, so God rewarded him with such a destiny.

This statement is really hard to refute.

Because the destiny is yours, you can rule the world. Therefore, many people use this guise to rebel, saying, "I am the destiny," etc. They spread some rumors around the world, and then they catch a lot of people who raise the flag to rebel.

However, if Chen Kedao's statement that the emperor first made contributions to the world was followed, the "mandate of destiny is yours" approach to rebellion would not work.

Because you need to make great contributions to the world, and only then can destiny be yours.

There is also a question here, that is, for ministers, if your contribution is too great, is it because you want destiny?

But no one pays attention to such trivial matters. Such things as having a master who has great achievements and shakes his master have been around since ancient times. Isn't there still a small number of people who have been killed because of their great achievements?

This topic cannot be discussed openly.

At this time, Li Ruyu's face turned a little dark, and he looked at Chen Kedao with a feeling of gritting his teeth.
