Chapter 220 Hundred-foot sighs in and out
Someone couldn't help asking this, and Zitian said with the arrogance of the young man: "Will there be no chance of resetting when expelled?"
"Did you forget the reinstatement of Duke Wei Zheng? Going to the country to flee is not an insult. But if you drive Chu Zi, that is a real insult!"
Duke Cheng of Wei stood in the wrong team because he was sandwiched between Jin and Chu, and offended Duke Wen of Jin. The people of the country were afraid of revenge by the Jin people, so they expelled the king.
Ji Zheng is also lucky, even more courageous, and even a little... naive.
At that time, Duke Wen of Jin could have forced the Zhou emperor to join forces to hunt together. Duke Cheng of Wei actually dared to run to the Zhou emperor to ask for his return to his country to regain his throne, but was poisoned by Duke Wen of Jin.
He also bribed the poisoned person in Ji Zheng and survived. In the end, like Jin Wen, who admitted his mistake, was able to return to his country, kill the Wei Hou who was in power in the coup, and restored it.
Even the Song State has had more than once such things.
After Zitian was excited, he laughed wildly and said, "Besides, there are still people in the city and soldiers on the city walls. Will they sit idly?"
All the close servants knew Mo Di's character and Mozhe's creed, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, would the Mo family care about replacing the monarch?"
The relatives of the servants said again: "Mo Zhai was teaching in the city back then, but he talked about the fact that if a monarch could benefit the people, he would have to change it. Not only should he change it, but if the elected monarch refuses, it is not only not virtue but also a ill head, but false benevolence and false righteousness..."
When Zitian heard this, he laughed and said, "How can I not know? Mo Zhai went in and out of the office many times, but didn't he teach me?"
The close servant thought to himself, since you know that the Mo family will not participate in a coup, how can you still have such confidence?
Zitian was calm and listened to the faint shouting from the distance outside, saying disdain: "But you forgot that this fashion is guarding the city!"
"Modi has a tiger talisman to defend the city, and he also has a ban: those who hinder the city will be beheaded!"
"As long as I don't surrender to the Chu people, I will still be Mr. Song, and the seal is still in my hands. Only I can order not to defend the city!"
"Then, as long as Shangqiu still has to defend, aren't these people who are in chaos in the city hindering the defense of the city? Therefore, according to the Mozhe's ban, these people will be killed."
"The people outside, my uncle, Da Yin and others, may say that they will change the monarch. However, before the replacement, I am still the monarch. If the monarch does not surrender, the Mozhe, who is known for his loyalty, will continue to defend the city, so I will have no worries!"
"Why am I afraid? They have changed the monarch to order not to defend the city. But before the replacement, wouldn't the Mozhe kill those who hindered the city first?"
Zitian thought to himself, I have long been dissatisfied with those nobles and my uncles.
But he had just ascended the throne and was very weak and could not fight against him.
There was the just force of the Mozhe in the city, which could not have been used by him, but it was just by using the help of defending the city today that they could use their power to eliminate those threats.
This may not be a good thing.
Of course, his uncle is waiting for the opportunity, Da Yin is waiting for the opportunity, why isn’t his son Tian also waiting for the opportunity?
It is to take this opportunity to let the Mo man, who was originally absolutely neutral in the coup, kill his uncle with the crime of hindering the city's ban on the crime of being in a forbidden manner. This is the perfect choice.
Zitian knew that if he wanted to do things and to be strong in the country, he had to get rid of those nobles who were posing a huge threat.
So he selected the trusted warriors and asked them to go to the city wall immediately to look for Mozi, and only said one sentence.
"Mr. Song asked Mr. Song to continue to defend the city, and asked Mr. He to continue to support the weak and suppress the strong. Some people in the city make trouble to hinder the city. Please also ask Mr. He to implement the rules you set for defending the city!"
After the warriors repeated these words several times, they confirmed that they were correct and ran towards the city wall from the side door of the palace.
Outside the palace, there were also dead soldiers lying in ambush by nobles, and both sides fought with means.
The attendants of Song Gong believed that as long as the news was sent to the city wall, everything could be solved, so they used their lives and spared no expense.
After all, they are not the people in the city.
They have reasons to defend the city and also have reasons to protect the interests of Song Gong, because this is closely related to their own interests.
…………
On the city wall and tower, Mo Zi looked bored at the Chu people outside the city pretending to attack the city. He thought to himself that these methods were just the means, I was afraid that I could defend when I was twenty years old.
Now there are many soldiers gathered on the city walls, and nearly 10,000 enlisted prisoners. In fact, Mo Zi knew that there were only a few places to guard.
If the Chu people really use elite ants to attack the city, he said that only four thousand men and women can defend, then only four thousand men and women can be needed.
Those machinery such as getting off the grinding truck have been quietly prepared, but they have not been used yet.
On the top of the city, some Mo people had already passed on the news of the coup in the city. Gong Zaoye laughed and said, "When it comes to propaganda, those people are much worse than that. This principle seems reasonable, but in fact it is vulnerable."
Shi also smiled and said, "Let them go. All they want is the resentment of the people, but not the people's fight for their own interests. Some people may kill people because of resentment, but more people die because of interests, and they don't understand."
The development of the situation now has not exceeded the scope of control, and even the scope of control that Mozhe has quietly controlled has not exceeded.
A coup relies on soldiers and soldiers to die. This is a common method used by nobles. The people they are bound to make them resentful at most. In fact, it is useless when they fight. On the contrary, it is easy to cause chaos.
Although the people in the city are calculating Mozhe, why don’t Shi and others plot against them anymore?
Not long after, a close servant next to Mr. Song had two feather arrows inserted on his shoulder and covered in blood. It was obvious that he had escaped here after a fierce battle.
As soon as they met, Zitian said it.
"Mr. Mo Di! Mr. Song asked Mr. to continue to defend the city, and asked Mr. to continue to support the weak and suppress the strong. Some people in the city make trouble to hinder the city. Please also ask Mr. to implement the rules you set for defending the city!"
Since Mo Zi had made sure to take this opportunity to benefit the world, he took out the tiger talisman calmly and said, "Duke Song has already handed me over the important matters of defending the city, so the rules must naturally be abide by."
"But, I have also said that only those who are guilty of harm will be punished by violating the ban. In my ban on guarding the city, there is no saying that coups and riots are not allowed?"
Mo Zi turned around and looked at Shi and said, "Shi, you copied the ban at that time. I couldn't see clearly, maybe I remembered it wrong? Let's take a look!"
Shi smiled in his heart, knowing that when Mozi was guarding the city, he never thought about coups or something.
However, the Mohist school is extremely organized and the so-called harm is not guilty, and it has always been like this.
As long as the ban is not promulgated, even if it causes factual harm, it is not a violation of the ban.
This has always been the case, and the rules of the Mozhe also followed this principle. This is true in Peixian and still is here.
So, Shi took out a piece of paper and recited the various bans formulated when he was guarding the city, with regulations on punishing measures such as killing and cutting off the chariots and splitting, saying: "Sir, you remember correctly. You really didn't write about the coup, nor did you write about the coup and you were going to be executed."
Mo Zi said helplessly: "Yes, only harm is innocent, so how can I punish them?"
When the nearby servant heard this, he didn't care about the pain all over his body, and he suddenly felt angry and wanted to move forward.
After pressing the sword sheath, the man suddenly stood steadily and leaned aside. He knew that the man in front of him was not the skill of the dead men who ambushed him. After this pressure, he knew that he had no chance of winning, so he had to retreat.
The close servant robbed the ground with his head and cried, "But, Mr. Mo Di, don't these people hinder the defense of the city? This is like the Chu people siege the city, and you have not written out all the ways to deal with how the Chu people siege the city."
"So, even if this is not a violation of the ban, it is also an obstacle to defending the city. Can't you deal with these people like you are sieging the Chu people?"
"You didn't say how to kill the Ant Support Siege, just to adapt to the situation! You can regard these people's coup as a means of siege and stop it!"
This is also a person who is good at speaking and eloquent, and has been good at eloquently for Mo Zi hesitating for a while. He has to consider countermeasures when he needs to be considered.
But he didn't expect that before he could come up and deal with it, Mo Zi said, "What you said makes sense!"
I panicked and thought to myself, sir, you have to hold on, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If you miss this opportunity, where can you have a reasonable, legal and legitimate opportunity to organize the people of Shangqiu? Where can you have the opportunity for all three parties to be the weakest in the city?
He was about to come forward to dissuade him regardless of his shame, but Mo Zi said, "But there is always something wrong with matters."
"It's like you're hungry now and your house has a fire. Then, you can starve to death, and a house can also be burned to death. But would you choose to continue eating? Or would you choose to escape from the house to put out the fire?"
The close servant was stunned and subconsciously replied: "Of course it's to put out the fire!"
Mo Zi yelled and said, "That's the reason! Look, the people of Chu are busy siegeing the city again, and this is the houses are on fire. And the matter in the city is just hunger and sleepy."
"You said I should regard their coup as a means of siege. I know that there are twelve siege techniques in the world, which is the thirteenth?"
"But if the Chu people were digging tunnels again and had already broken through the city gate, then do you think I should be guarding the city gate first? Or blocking the tunnel first?"
"So, the soldiers on the city wall cannot move! The palace can support it for a while, and when it gets dark, the Chu people retreat, and we will deal with the thirteenth method of siege."
When the nearby servant heard this, he cried, "But if it's dark, I'm afraid the palace will not be able to hold on! What should I do then?"
"Mr. Mozi, please come forward to rescue Master!"
Mo Zi sighed and said, "If it is to rescue the Lord, that is your business, he is not my Lord. Therefore, the Mo family has no obligation to save him."
"If the coup of those people is regarded as the thirteenth method of siege, we can counterattack those people with the reason of dealing with the thirteenth method of siege."
"But if they are regarded as a means of the Chu people's siege, then it is not a violation of the ban. I can only drive them away, but I cannot punish them... You see, the Chu people's siege, I can't say that I have killed all the people involved in the siege, right?"
