These cumbersome etiquettes are exactly what the Mohist school of thought opposed.

However, the Mohist school is not able to make their rules the world's rules now, and can only adopt the previous rules within the scope that both nobles and princes on both sides can accept.

But this rule is no longer the rule when the Zhou emperor had the power.

Since Emperor Zhou broke the rules and appointed Sanjin as marquis, some rules do not need to be so rigid. Although they cannot be completely destroyed, they can still play the edge ball.

Before the ritual collapsed and the music broke out, there were many rules for the court ritual to betrothed, which was to ensure the difference between the Duke, Marquis, Bozi and Nan under the Emperor's system.

Now that Song and Chu have formed an alliance, they have made an alliance as two equal states, it is impossible for these rules to be fully abide by.

If you are a school in Peixian Township School, the real court tribute also requires the deputy envoy to be the deputy envoy. The number of deputy envoys depends on the title.

The Duke, including the three Dukes in the Gyeonggi, must have seven Sui, while the Baron of Viscount can only have three Sui.

If the Chu people were just viscounts completely according to the existing rules before, this was unacceptable to the Chu people.

Now that we violate the Zhou rituals, there are no fourteen divisions of the Emperor of Zhou to attack. We must abide by the situation in our hearts. This kind of edge-to-face thing can be done without scruples.

The State of Song was the Duke of Sanke. Since they wanted to hire each other, the people of Chu should naturally send seven envoys to come, using this as the basis for reciprocal negotiations between the two sides to show their equal status.

In terms of national strength, the Chu people had already become kings, but the Song State recognized the Zhou emperor system rather than the Chu system of the Little Western Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, both sides could only accept the appointment with the ritual of the duke.

It has been a day or two since the King of Chu became king, but the State of Song did not have the courage. If Mr. Song dared to be king, he would have to find another excuse for the Three Jins to attack the State of Song.

Since all this was done in a formal way, the King of Chu looked for seven doctors to come forward and took gifts from the military camp to Shangqiu.

In theory, the etiquette of both sides should be that after the Chu State sent Qi Jie, Duke Song wanted to send soldiers to the border to greet him. However, after approaching the capital, Duke Song went out to greet him in person at the door of the palace.

After welcoming the palace, Qi Jie should be kept in the ancestral temple and talk to Qi Jie within the ancestral temple.

Moreover, the words of seven people can only be finished by seven people, but not by one person. Mr. Song must listen with his ears and face north. After listening, he must first express his gratitude to the other monarch.

Then they were entertained. Mr. Song needed to personally toast the sweet wine to Qisuke, and then return the gift from Qisuke. When Qisuke left, he returned the Yuzhang to Qisuke.

This set of etiquette took two days, and the final decision was to hold an alliance outside the Tongmen of Song State, and both sides stopped war.

The Mohist family automatically became a neutral third party at the moment when the battle to defend the city ended, so the guard work should also be handed over to the Mohist people to prepare.

Neither the Song guards nor the Chu guards could be at ease. It was appropriate for the Mo family's Xinyi to do this.

Furthermore, it is impossible to release the King of Chu directly at this time. The Mo family members were not so stupid as to this extent. This reason is also an acceptable excuse for everyone.

After everything was ready, Gong Zaoye conveyed the conditions for the alliance to the King of Chu.

During the entire oath process, the Mo family was responsible for the guard work. Neither side could bring close servants. Apart from their own swords, they could not wear armor and had to wear gorgeous clothes.

The King of Chu also understood the current situation. The Mo family had taken a few steps back and allowed some of the people who were close to the King of Chu to get close to the service, but it was absolutely impossible to retreat before the alliance was formed.

Now that the Mo family has become a third party outside Song and Chu, the King of Chu had to accept these proposals. After asking about the bottom line of alliance, Gong Zaoye also said something.

The first few items are acceptable, and the subsequent incident of the passage of goods belonging to Pei County in Song and Pei County through Song Chu aroused the interest of the King of Chu.

Xiong Dangbeng asked, "Who made those things that shone like thunder when they attacked yesterday?"

Gong Zaoye immediately told the legend that Dayu controlled the flood and the girl from Tushan was raped by the sky. The King of Chu was skeptical and sighed: "As you said, this is the sky, but this sky will always need someone to master it."

After asking, he couldn't help thinking about the rumors about the Mo family, and the iron ox and the three wheats of the three animals. He couldn't help asking: "Is this thing also the heavenly ambition that you Mo family mastered first?"

The Mo family was not going to use gunpowder to pretend to be a ghost, so Gong Zaoye said bluntly: "It's him."

When the King of Chu heard this, he sighed, thinking about the map of mountains and rivers that he saw that day, and the objects that could change the internal affairs of various countries. He praised: "This person's talent is unpredictable. Mo Di's powerful ability can gather the talents of the world, not as good as Zhongni in the past."

Gong Zaoye's face twitched slightly, and Confucian and Mohist enemies, but Mo Di also respected Zhongni very much, so he couldn't say anything. After a while, he said: "You are a prince, and you have land thousands of miles, but you can't gather talents from all over the world. Haven't you ever thought about why this is?"

"Some people regard salary as treasures, some people regard pearls and jade as treasures, but some people regard profit from the world to act as treasures. You can gather those who regard salary as treasures, but you can gather those who regard profit from the world to act as treasures."

"Everyone loves gold and jade, and anyone who is willing to benefit the world is mostly talented people, which is something you cannot do."

The King of Chu smiled but said nothing, knowing that the Mo family always liked to reason with the kings and nobles. He thought these principles were very reasonable, but there was no way to do it.

The situation of completing the alliance will be completed tomorrow. The King of Chu knew that he had been defeated today and no longer thought about the idea of ​​if or if. He could only use this cornerstone to think about the future.

After listening to Gong Zaoye's reasoning, the King of Chu asked again: "Does the world's general trend you know all are told by me? I hope to meet such a talented man."

Gong Zaoye only thought that the King of Chu had taken a fancy to the secrets of the Tianzhi that Shi had mastered, and said with a smile: "The Mo family has its own rules. They can say what they can say, but they can't say what they can't say."

"If you are suitable for others, you will not be able to shake your heart to benefit the world. If you do not seek personal gain, the treasures you have are all dirt in his eyes. And when it comes to benefiting the world, you are not as good as yours."

"Besides, if someone in the Mo family breaks the rules, he will have his own way of punishing him. My Mo family can do five steps to you, then can't blood splatter on the body?"

"Please don't think so again."

Upon hearing this, the King of Chu laughed and said, "Your things that benefit the world will naturally spread to the world. My Chu is also within the nine provinces. Why should I be anxious for a moment?"

"I have formed an alliance with your giants, quit the war, and form an alliance under Shangqiu City, and the three-year agreement can be followed. How could I have such a thought?"

"Mo Di lobbies the countries of Chu, Qi, Song and Yue, and said that my Chu Palace is so thin. Isn't this an opportunity to benefit the world? You send someone to convey that since your Mo family has rules, how can you decide whether to see or not?"

Although he was within five steps of Gong Zaoye, the King of Chu still maintained his last pride, but Gong Zaoye was not angry and nodded, "That's the reason, I will send someone back to report to the giant."

After saying that, a few people were selected and returned to Shangqiu to repay the matter that the King of Chu wanted to interview with Shi.

When the King of Chu saw the Mozhe leave, he sighed in his heart.

He had wanted to talk to the Mo family secretly, but because some of the Mo family's ideas were too horrifying, he had repeatedly promoted some statements that were not good for the nobles.

Shi was in the tent of King Chu a few months ago, and he was sowed by the relationship between the King of Chu and the nobles, and he was even short of saying that the nobles should seize the time to engage in conspiracy and not give the King of Chu an opportunity to strengthen centralization.

At that time, the King of Chu was not angry, but he was quite curious about the Mo family and highly praised the clear structure that sowed the contradictions.

After the iron tools, ox plowing, pictures of the world, and lanterns of the sky were displayed, the King of Chu was even more eager for these skills mastered by the Mohist school.

Then when the sound of gunpowder explosion came into his ears last night, when the Pei County Yishi rushed to him with a spear and spear, he was full of yearning for the talents of the Mo family.

Before, he had no chance to talk to the Mo family in secret.

Because the people of the Mo family are like an extremely tempting fruit: they are moved by people, but they also know that there is poison in it.

Especially after instigating the conflict between the nobles and the royal power in the tent a month ago, this fruit is even more difficult to swallow.

It sounds like everything makes sense. The King of Chu also understands the contradiction between himself and the nobles and hopes to strengthen the royal power.

This is temptation.

However, if we meet with the Mo people in front of the nobles and talk to each other in the secret room, it would be equivalent to telling the nobles that I am going to deal with you, and the conflict between us has been made public...

This is poison.

Now that the King of Chu is captured, he knows that things can no longer be saved, so he just takes this opportunity to complete something that he wanted to do but had no chance to do.

Moreover, at this moment, he was not afraid of the Mo family assassinating him: If you want to kill him, you can do it at this time, why should you assassinate him?

In addition, the secret meeting was at this time, and the nobles could not know about it, so they could minimize their suspicion.

It is not necessary to get useful information from the right place. The King of Chu just felt that even if he could get some analysis on the general trend of the world, it would be a waste of this.

If we can persuade the Mo family to join Chu and find a way to help him strengthen centralization and clean up the throne, that would be the best.

In the tent a month ago, when the Mo family was provoking, they gave several routines of the Chu State reform, which made the nobles extremely panic, but also made the King of Chu deeply agree.

The words that were reposted in the King of Chu's tent were originally the content of Wu Qi's reforms more than ten years later. They were most in line with the situation of Chu and were proven to be effective. Therefore, the King of Chu was very moved as soon as he said it.

If it weren't for the obvious that it was instigating the conflict between the nobles' feudal king and the royal power, the King of Chu would have wanted to stay and have a secret talk at that time to ask about the world.

I finally got a chance today, where can I miss it?

The King of Chu thought to himself that the Mo family was like a fish.

There is fish meat, fish belly, and of course fish bones.
