The Chu people withdrew their troops due to their defeat, and the city also had a routine counterattack, until the Chu army suppressed the situation with archers and elite troops.

Mo Zi was isolated on the city wall, looking at the bodies and wounded people who had no time to take away by the Chu people under the city, feeling sad.

He was not afraid of killing people, nor was he afraid of death or injury, but he couldn't understand why the monarchs in the world had to start a war?

According to the theory of worshipping the wise and wise, he mentioned that the familiar Tianzhi machinery and those wonderful farms have developed and gathered together for twenty years. No matter how you look at it, it is more profitable than the war.

He thought, perhaps, it is really hard to explain all the things in the world by reason.

When the Mozhe who fought back under the city and the warriors on the city returned, the city also brought good news.

"The giant, Gong Zaoye and Shi are already preparing for the Song Gong's oath, but they need you to come forward in person. After all, the swearing between the king and the six ministers and officials always requires someone with enough status."

The disciple who reported the news looked happy, and the battle near the palace did not happen. After taking people there, both sides quickly stopped.

Because the Mohist clearly wanted to help the weak Song Gong at that time, and compared with those nobles, the people also believed that the Mohist children who had quietly influenced several years in Shangqiu.

All kinds of treaties and alliances are what Mozi knows. He is not worried about the content, and he should indeed come forward in his identity.

Mo Zi looked outside the city and said for a long time: "The elite Chu people retreated, and it would take at least one hour to organize another siege. By then, it was too late. Today, the Chu people could not attack the city."

After observing carefully for a while, Mo Zi called the disciple, "Tell the disciples on the city wall to rest and have a full meal. If they can fall asleep, they can fall asleep now, and only those who inspect will be left."

The disciple did not ask anything else, and took the order and went to inform him. Mozi looked at the Chu people's movements a few more times, determined his judgment, and went down the city tower with several disciples who were attending the side.

Outside the palace, preparations for the oath are underway.

The offerings offered to Emperor Tian were ready for the White Horse, Black Bull and others, and the people stood in a siege, and the rest of the soldiers were separated.

Gong Zaoye held his sword and stared at the movements around him vigilantly. He was very uneasy about this "Tangwu Revolution" that was bloodless.

Shi told him before that this was no different from the Tang and Wu Revolution. The reason why he would not bleed at this time was because it was not over yet, and more blood would flow in the future.

Gong Zaoye didn't know how long it would take to come, so he was worried that these people would regret it.

But he was not worried that these people would regret it. While curbing the royal power, he also forced the royal power to use civilians to fight against the nobles. For the Song State, which had no external wars within ten years, it could only be considered peaceful.

Today's covenant is not an end, but a truce that will last for ten years.

When all parties know how to fight for their own interests ten years later, this paper covenant will be meaningless, and then it will be a real "coup".

For example, in the past, the coup where only the nobles and soldiers participated was really a change of soup and no medicine.

When everything is ready, the people present need to hold two oaths.

Once, it was a ten-year agreement between Mozhe as a mediator.

Another time is the people's interest needs and political changes.

Just like the Second War Suppression Meeting, not only the monarchs participated in the oath, but also the fiefs of various countries. Only those with strength and fiefs can maintain the stability of the covenant.

Whether the Song State would be destroyed or whether it could survive in the normal Warring States Period is not a question of consideration.

The Song State is too small to shake the world.

However, the Song State is in the world, with Jin and Chu in the north, Qi and Lu in the east, Zheng and Han in the west, which can facilitate the spread of some things throughout the world.

After Mozi and his followers arrived, the nobles and the king had agreed to the mediation of the three rules of the mediation of the Mo people within ten years, and they would not be allowed to fight again and harm each other.

This kind of thing is very skillful in the nobles of the Song State, and many coups, the three surnames' common governance, the Sicheng's appointment with the office, etc., which are basically similar to this matter.

The only difference is that before, it was just a swearing, and the Ghost and God Emperors were supervised.

This time, there was an additional Mohist who belonged to the mediator as the supervisor, and the Mohist family promised that no matter who violated these three alliances, they would help fight back without violation.

The Mohist can defend the city and incite the people at this time. As for how powerful Mohist's field battle is, no one knows yet.

Once you know, the covenant will be more stable.

These three alliances are a compromise, a helplessness over the noble feudal system at this time, and it is also the only condition that the nobles and princes in the three parties can accept.

More importantly, the power of Sicheng Emperor and Liuqing did not shrink, and the power of Song Gong did not strengthen. This strange and stable balance could be maintained after the Mozhe demonstrated his field combat ability.

If it was for the prosperity of the Song Kingdom, Shi would definitely find a way to help Song Gong suppress the nobles. However, he had no interest and had no obligation to Song Gong, let alone any personal feelings.

Now it is just for the sake of a balance, a monarch, aristocrat, and a commoner. Once this balance is formed, some of the down-and-out class of the Song State will not have to rely on the nobles and monarchs because of another way of ascending.

As for the oath with the people, it is reasonable, but unexpected.

The people of the capital have the power to participate in politics, at least they have it.

When Wu became dominant, he summoned the princes of various countries to join the alliance. The Marquis of Wei watched the situation. He did not go to the alliance until Wu became dominant.

The Dazai, who had accepted bribes and offered slander and let Goujian go and forced Wu Zixu, once asked why Wei Hou was late and even planned to detain Wei Hou.

But the reason for Wei Hou was: "If you plan to the masses, you will either want or not, you will come to the rescue." In other words, he solicited the opinions of the people of the capital or not. This is an act permitted by the nobles, and it also means that the people of the capital of Wei took responsibility for Wei Hou: seizure is useless and will only anger the people of the capital of Wei.

This reason convinced Dazai and gave up the idea of ​​seizing Wei Hou.

However, before the Shangqiu alliance today, even if the people in the capital could participate in politics, the content of their participation in politics was restricted.

Basically there are only three points to participate.

War and form alliances, migrate to the capital, and give the throne to the rest of the princes.

Apart from these three points, there seems to be no precedent for participating in politics, especially for the establishment of laws and contracts and taxes.

However, because of the previous three points, the participation in politics itself is reasonable, but the content of the political discussion is not in line with the previous conventions.

After all, it cannot be considered a precedent in form, but a precedent in content, so there are not many unacceptable oppositions.

The people who were introduced, with some excitement and uneasiness, completed the oath with the king and nobles in Xiashou, and formed an alliance with the Emperor of Heaven with the help of Mozhe who was familiar with the oath process.

This oath, Shi and others were not qualified to participate and stood behind.

Gong Zaoye asked in a low voice: "Is this the end?"

Shi smiled and shook his head, whispering: "This is just the beginning. How to collect taxes? How to implement taxes? How to make laws? This is the end."

"How much tax is imposed? How much tax is imposed? What kind of law is used for? This is the real benefit."

"Where is the end? It's just the beginning. Once the siege is over, the trouble is still there."

Gong Zaoye nodded and asked in a low voice: "The people naturally don't want to collect more taxes. The monarch must want to collect more taxes. Are the nobles' fiefs taxed? Isn't it a matter of negotiation that has no result?"

Shi smiled and said, "It's better to have a result. If there is no result, it just depends on who has the strength. Does the king have the strength? I don't think so."

Gong Zaoye said: "This is what I am worried about. When we discussed it before, we agreed on how to collect taxes so that the princes and nobles would not recognize it once the siege ended."

Shi quietly pointed at the people and said, "Even if it is agreed in advance, once the siege is over, they should not admit it or not. Could it be that they have agreed in advance, and the ghosts, gods, and the emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom has supervised it, so it will definitely not violate it?"

"Besides, there are so many things that it is easy to agree on? People should slowly understand what they want, so that they can know how valuable they are and spend their efforts to protect them."

Gong Zaoye thought for a while and asked, "For example, people by the river will not cherish water. People in the mountains and forests will not cherish wood. But those who dig wells hundreds of feet out of water in dry land will always cherish water; people in cities without firewood will always cherish firewood. Is that the same reason?"

Shi nodded and shook his head, saying it was almost the same, and Gong Zaoye no longer asked more questions.

Looking at the open space, the people are already vowing with the monarch and nobles that as long as the monarch does not violate these conditions, they will firmly support the Song Duke at this time.

On the other hand, if Duke Song did not abide by these oaths, then it would be nothing more than a coup like today, and a king who could abide by it would be.

Even though according to the customary customs, the people are not qualified to be in the throne, the Mohist saying that he chose the emperor has not yet become popular in the world. However, it is still possible to choose a suitable successor from the office to be the throne.

Even if countries want to interfere, they lack excuses and are afraid that this is a "common scheme" and will probably not send troops.

The Song State has not changed its monarch. As long as it is within the office, it is basically recognized by all major countries.

Originally, if the six nobles were involved, they might be attacked by various countries to maintain the Zhou Li. But now, the three Jins, the largest country, had a trick of dividing the marquis. In fact, the Zhou Li was broken, and the nobles of the Song State had the opportunity to climb to the throne.

The so-called choice of emperor by Mozhe did not sound too many people opposed it at this time, because the nobles monopolized culture and knowledge at this time, so the wise men must be nobles. Those who can be elected as emperors seem to say that everyone in the world has a chance, but in fact, it is within the nobles and the public clan, so it did not cause much trouble.

After these people's oaths were finished, the seemingly simple change without much blood was completed, but in fact this was just the beginning.
