How could the close servants care about whether it was a rebellion that hindered the city from defending the city or a method of siege among the Chu people? They just wanted the Mo to come forward quickly to resolve the chaos in the city.

But after he agreed repeatedly, Mo Zi still did not agree, and said instead: "Even if these people are considered part of the Chu people's siege, defending the city requires permission from the people in the city. Otherwise, who would use the bow, arrow, spear, and spear to resist?"

"Now the people in the city are in a state of turmoil. Haven't you heard of the rebellion of the State of Defense?"

"In the past, the Marquis of Wei wanted to go to Chu, but the people of the country did not want to go to, so they gave birth to their king to please Jin. Now, the people of Shangqiu City do not want to fight, but they are afraid they will give birth to their king, right?"

The face of the close servant changed slightly, and he knew this story. When the Marquis of Wei decided to rebel against Jin and relatives to Chu, the people in the city were very dissatisfied. In addition, they were afraid that Jin would take revenge, so the nobles incited them slightly, and the people directly rioted and exiled their king to please the people of Jin.

The residents of the capital, especially those in small countries, often interfere in politics and riots at any time, and they all know their interests in their hearts.

Nowadays, only the Mo people on the top of the city can come forward to mediate the matter. But since Mozi asked about this, it was obvious that he did not think that the people's wishes should still be followed.

The closest servant wiped the blood from his forehead and cried, "But originally the people were willing to defend. If the granary was not burned and those people incited them, the people would definitely follow Mo Di to defend the city wall now, instead of siegeing the palace together!"

Mo Zi sighed and said, "Why do the people of Shangqiu need to defend? The Mo family talks about profit. Go back and ask your lord, has it ever given the Chinese people any benefits?"

"In the past, the Di people attacked Wei, and Duke Yi of Wei liked to raise cranes very much. There were people riding in Xuan car. Wei State wanted to fight with the Di people. People in the country were awarded weapons and said: Let the crane go to war, but the crane actually enjoys a salary and has an official position. How can we fight? Let your crane fight!"

"This is the same truth. What benefits have the people gained?"

"Before the old Changshao, Cao Gui asked the Marquis of Lu why the war was fought. The Marquis of Lu said that even if the litigation cases of all sizes cannot be investigated clearly, they will make reasonable judgments based on the facts, so that the battle can be barely fought."

"Now the Chu people are far better than Qi Huan's army, but the truth is the same. Have Song Gong handled all the lawsuits of the people one by one?"

"In the past, Prince Bao was a wise man and treated the people with courtesy. At that time, the famine occurred in the Song Dynasty. Prince Bao took out all the food and gave it to charity. For those over 70 years old, no one did not give anything, and even gave precious food according to the season. There was no one who did not go in and out of the gates of the Six Ministers for a day. For those who were talented in the country, no one did not serve them."

"So the Chinese people are willing to fight to the death. The reason is the same. Zitian can now give food to those over 70 years old and use it to those with talented people in the country?"

After questioning, Mo Zi said, "If these things cannot be done, how can we get the support of the people?"

He glanced at the attendant and said slowly, "You go back and ask your lord, do he know that he did something wrong? If you know that you did something wrong, then you may not be able to remedy it. Maybe you can still get the support of the people. This city can still be defended."

The closest servant gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Mo Zhai, now that the soldiers in the city are in chaos, I risk my life to rush to the city wall. How can I go back?"

"Even if I can risk my life to rush in, how can I come out again?"

Mo Zi said calmly: "It's okay, I'll send two disciples to follow you back, and I dare not stop those people. As for coming out, it's not necessary. If Song Gong knew his mistake, he could burn rafters to make smoke and dust in the palace. I would know and help convey Song Gong's meaning to the people."

After saying that, he called out the names of the two, and the two disciples walked forward with swords. Mo Zi said, "Let's escort him back, just say that I sent you there."

The two disciples nodded coldly and agreed without fear.

The close servant knew that the matter had come to this point and said more was useless, so he thanked him and followed two Mo family disciples toward the palace.

Shi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Mozi had already made up his mind and would not change his original intention anymore.

He looked somewhere in the city, and for a long time he murmured to himself, "I'm afraid this is not the coldest time."

Gong Zaoye heard Shi talking to himself, sighed and shook his head without answering.

Shortly after the close attendant left, the rebel nobles also sent people to see Mo Zi, and the person who came was Xiao Siko.

Xiao Si Kou is not in high position and has no heavy power, but his responsibilities are very special.

The so-called "to inquire about all peoples: one is to inquire about the dangers of the country, the second is to inquire about the movement of the country, and the third is to inquire about the establishment of a king." In normal times, the little Siko had no power, but in terms of responsibility, if the country was in danger and was prepared to move the capital and abolish the king, the little Siko would come forward to ask the opinions of the people in the city.

After Xiao Siko paid homage to Mozi, he spoke up and told a story.

"Mr. Mo Zhai, I heard that Ju Zi Gengyu was abused and loved swords in the past. If he made a sword, he would try to test everyone. The people in the country were worried about it, so they chased it."

"Do you think the practices of the people of Ju State are in line with the morality of the Mo family?"

Mo Zi nodded. Needless to say, this matter was naturally in line with morality. The king of Ju State liked swords. Once the sword was successfully forged, he would always kill people, so the people exiled him and told him to get out.

Seeing Mo Zi nodding, Xiao Siko said again: "Now Zitian is also forging a sword. He wants to cast a sword called Pride, and he is also trying the sword with the blood of the Chinese. Is it wrong for the Chinese to expel the king?"

"If Zitian could abide by the covenant of that year and get close to the Chu people, instead of wanting the sword of pride so that the Chinese people could use blood to resist the Chu people, how could it cause dissatisfaction?"

"So, now the things in the city are in line with the morality of the Mo. Please abide by your own morality and not go against the will of the people."

Without thinking, Mo Zi replied: "The Mo will not go against his morality, nor will it go against the will of the majority of the people. This is what I can swear to ghosts and gods."

Little Siko was overjoyed, but said, "Why do you need a swearing between Mr. Mo Zhai? Even the King of Qi, King of Jin, believed your words, how could I not believe it?"

Xiao Siko thought to himself that as long as Mo Ze did not come forward, the situation in the city could be completely controlled.

This time he came just to inform Mozhe. In his opinion, the Chinese in the city had been incited, and even if the Mo family wanted to obstruct it, it would be impossible.

Seeing Mo Zi's acceptance, Xiao Siko said again: "Fortunately, nothing is against you!"

There was no other power in the city, and the Chu people were sieging the city again, and the private subordinates of Sichenghuang were defending the city. Xiao Siko and others had already found out that as long as the Mohist could announce that he would not participate in this coup and remain neutral, things would be enough to succeed.

Shi smiled secretly and said to himself: "You just think that you have mastered the people's hearts, but you don't know that the people's hearts are just a little resentment. How can the power of resentment be of interest?"

…………

On the side of the city wall, Gongsun Ze held a bow, dripping blood from his fingers, and pulled it for a long time. Even with a ring, his nails were still worn.

The young attendant who was learning to shoot from him was handing the arrow aside. The Chu people temporarily retreated a hundred feet away. Gongsun Ze then looked back at the city.

There are rumors about the matter inside the city. There are rebellions in the city, besieging the palaces and threatening Duke Song.

However, if the Mo has a order, he will not be ordered and go down to the city without permission, he will be killed.

At the same time, Duke Song had an order before that, before the Chu people retreated, the soldiers on the city walls would be ordered by Mo Di and would not violate them.

Gongsun Ze is a gentleman who abides by the rules of his heart and the rules of the world.

And because of the rules, he was at a loss.

In theory, if you eat the king's fortune, you should share the worries for the king. He is a direct subordinate of Duke Song, and his superior loyalty target is Duke Song. According to etiquette and law, as long as everyone can abide by this top-down hierarchical relationship, the world can be governed.

Therefore, he should abide by Mo Zi's order not to go down the city wall.

However, if you see the king in trouble and do not provide assistance, this is really not what a gentleman does, and you may even feel ashamed for the rest of your life.

He shook his fingers, hesitated for a moment, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to the young man: "Go down to the city wall!"

The young man was stunned, but hesitated, and followed Gongsun Ze and was about to go down the city wall.

Unexpectedly, a patrolman on the side shouted: "Gongsun Ze, where are you going? Mozi has an order, but he will go down the city wall without orders, and he will be killed! Since you call yourself a gentleman, don't you know that you should obey the monarch's orders? Didn't the monarch tell you to obey Mozi's orders when guarding the city?"

This person who patrols the city is not Mo, but the ban on guarding the city has long been familiar with the city's ban.

Gongsun Ze's face remained unchanged and he said loudly: "Does I have a fiefdom that can replace farming when I eat the salary given by the Lord? At this time, I am in trouble, so why don't I go to help?"

This is the key location for city wall defense, with many stolen soldiers gathered, and many of them belonged to Gong Song. Gongsun Ze's voice was very loud, and the people of Chu retreated for the time being, and many people around him could hear it clearly.

Gongsun Ze pointed at the city with a sword and shouted: "The emperor granted the princes, and the princes also granted us land. The salary is enough to prevent us from farming. Isn't this the time to repay the king?"

"Those people are foolish and not talking about it. They have not gained profits from the king, so they can be resentful. And since we have gained profits from the king, will we not repay the king?"

After saying that, he raised his left hand, cut off a strand of his hair, and shouted: "Now, down the city is against the king's order to defend the city. If I am down, down the city will be in chaos. If I am already disobeying the emperor's order, I should be killed."

"It is an insult that the scholars cannot accept if they are not taken down from the city now, but they are against the etiquette of the world. If the king is besieged and I have not gone to rescue him, then how can I feel at ease even if I am alive?"

He handed the cut hair to the man who was patrolling the city and shouted: "I will go down to the city to rescue the king now! If I die in battle, then there is no need to say it! If I don't die in battle, my Gongsun Ze will come and win the death!"
