What do the Mo family want?

On the surface, everything I did was for three words, which is what Mozi often said to benefit the world.

Helping Shangqiu defend the city is to warn the world of "warlike kings" not to start war against small countries easily, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Mozi never feared the power of balance in great powers to maintain peace. When Xiang Zi and Niu led Qi troops to attack Lu, Wu Qi was still in Lu at that time, so the Marquis of Lu once asked Mozi how to block it.

Mozi said that Lu State was too weak, and even if Wu Qi could win it in battle, it would be better than a moment. The best way is to use development to save money, treat the people well, and make good allies at the same time, and use the power of major powers such as the Three Jins to restrict Qi's ambitions.

The "warlike kings" in the world may not be afraid of the hundreds of disciples of the Mo family, but they are afraid of the Mo family defending the city. They cannot conquer the city for a long time and are surpassed by other countries or are defeated by hard-working troops on an expedition.

What the emperor’s father Yue Ling wants is naturally not a very broad word “benefiting the world”.

After thinking for a while, the emperor's father Zang said, "The Mo family wants Peiyi? This is not difficult. With Mo Di's merit, he was named the priest of Peiyi. Who in the world can be dissatisfied?"

The emperor's father Zang felt that this question seemed a bit simple.

From the beginning when the Mo family went to Peidi Xingyi, it was a transaction: the Mo family handed over Jiahe to the Sicheng Emperor clan, and he let him please the Three Jins who wanted to be a marquis to be auspicious, and the Sicheng Emperor was responsible for letting the Mo family go to Peiyi Xingyi.

After thinking for a while, the emperor's father Zang said again: "I'm just a little confused. When King Yue invited Mo Di to a fief of 500 miles, he also refused, thinking that he would not sell his righteousness. Chu, Song, Lu, Zheng and other countries all had the intention of recruiting, but he refused. This time... why?"

The emperor's father Yue Ling shook his head and said, "Father, what the Mo family wants this time is Peiyi, but it is not for Mo Di to become the prime minister of Peiyi."

He looked through the moral articles of the Mohist school, looked for a while, and said, "Based on their principles, this Peiyi Zou is a void position. Everyone can be the one who really exercises power is the so-called public will of all people."

The emperor's father Zang said in confusion: "Then isn't this Peiyi priest necessary to be Mo Di? The Mo family is practicing righteousness in Peiyi, and Mo Di's reputation is like a rainbow in the sky. Can anyone still compete for it?"

The emperor's father Yue Ling clapped his hands and said, "Father, this is the problem. Da Yin and others must not understand what the Mo family wants. What they think is the same as you think. Because they have never read the articles on the Mo family's principles, but I can understand what the Mo family really wants."

The emperor's father Zang thought of the previous statement that his son had used the Common People's Court to seize the position of Inquiry Order Yin of the Political Court, and he couldn't help but feel excited. He knew that his son was far more intelligent than himself, so he asked repeatedly.

The emperor's father Yue Ling twisted the pages of paper, pointed to a few lines of words and said, "Father, what the Mo family wants is that Modi can be the priest of Peiyi, and others can do it, but no matter who does it, it must follow the will of all people. Instead of wanting Modi to be the priest of Peiyi."

“The difference…”

He thought for a long time and said, "Just just like the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei who cannot be granted the title of the emperor, aren't the three places of Han, Zhao and Wei? After receiving the title of the emperor, the land has not increased, but it is completely different."

"What the Mo family wants is their rule, not Mo Di to be the priest of Peiyi."

"With this rule, Mo Di can definitely be the priest of Peiyi, without the title of Duke and Marquis. Without this rule, even if Mo Di is the priest of Peiyi, it will be useless, because what the Mo family wants is not fiefdom, but their rules become the rules of the world."

The words of the Emperor's Father Yue Ling were like thunder in the dark night. Under the dark clouds, the lightning suddenly passed by illuminated the night sky and split the darkness.

The emperor's father Zang suddenly said, "So that's it! I wouldn't have understood the difference if you didn't explain it clearly."

The emperor's father Yue Ling smiled and said, "So we have more advantages than Da Yin and the others. The burning of the granary must be done by Da Yin and others."

"Among the disciples of the Mo family, there are many knights who assassinate the unrighteous king, and they cannot tolerate such things. I don't think they want Da Yin and others to become the Inquirer Yuan Order, which is beneficial to us."

"And if we know what the Mohist family wants and talk to it, then the common people's court can support us. Because of food, city guarding, farming, iron tools and other matters, the common people's court must convince the Mohist family, and their Xuanyi Department can control the public opinion of the common people's court."

After the emperor's father Yue Ling said, he said: "Our Sicheng Emperor clan cannot be Shun of Danzhu, but it may not be Duke Zhou of Fucheng, and Gongbohe of King Xuan."

At this time, since there are no outsiders, you can blurt out if you have some rebellious words.

Back then, Shun imprisoned Tang Yao and exiled Yao's son Danzhu, thus completing the usurpation of power and becoming the leader of the Chinese tribal alliance. The so-called "Shun imprisoned Yao, and then blocked Danzhu again, and did not meet his father."

If we give some more similar examples, it is actually the recent incident of the Tian family replacing Qi, but at this time the Tian family still kept the puppet of the Duke of Qi, so this incident did not happen.

Because the Sicheng Emperor clan was, like the Le, Ling, Zi and others, they were all branches of the Song Gong bloodline, and they were still somewhat different from the Tian clan’s Qi family. They could not be called usurpation, but could only be called seek.

The example of Shun imprisoning Yao and releasing Dan Zhu is actually telling the emperor that the situation has changed, so don’t think about usurping the throne for the time being.

Now that the establishment of the Zhengyuan is now unchangeable, we should strive to become Zhou Gong and Republican Bo who acted as the royal government.

The year name was just like Duke Zhou assisting King Cheng and the Republic assisting King Xuan. He did not use his own year name, but the order was issued by Duke Zhou and Gongbo.

Take the truth without the name.

This is the choice to maximize interests at this time, because if we want to usurp the throne, it will be more difficult than before, and we will also have to face the Shangqiu people organized by the siege.

The people of Shangqiu who had experienced coups and besieged cities were very dissatisfied with the nobles and were tired of endless coup internal struggles, especially after the Xuanyi tribe of the Mohist school gave a picture of the future.

After the Sicheng Emperor and his son discussed, they asked the Emperor's father Yue Ling to come forward and ask to see Mo Di and complete this exchange of interests.

…………

The Mohist family was stationed in a tight garrison, and people from Shangqiu were in and out from time to time.

Either listening to the publicity of the Xuanyi Department, asking about some things about the future, or wanting to join the Mohist school and become a Mohist.

I have basically completed my busy schedule and can finally take a few days off to discuss what happened next with the Mo family.

The publicity of the Xuanyi Department was in place, and because of the organizational form during the siege, the establishment of the Zhengyuan was impossible to change this time.

The propaganda made by the Xuanyi Ministry is also in place. Although there are many loopholes in this new way of government formation and most people are not familiar with it, there is a beginning that can be continuously learned over the long years.

In addition to the propaganda and incitement before, the Mo family members also prepared another thing under appropriate suggestions.

After hearing the opinions of the Mozi, Mozi asked first: "What do you mean by Erdu Pengcheng?"

He pointed to the location of Pengcheng on the suggested map and said: "Pengcheng is at the intersection of Danshui and Sishui. It is separated from Peiyi and remains in the same place."

"From Pengcheng downstream, it can reach the Huai River Hangou and is close to Chu. The area here is rich in coal and iron and fertile, and it is really a place where it can be developed."

"For Song, if you want to maintain neutrality between the Three Jins and Chu, you have to consider the siege between the Three Jins and Chu."

"Although Shangqiu is steep, it is close to the Three Jins. The Three Jins send troops to come day and night, so this is something we cannot ignore."

"If the Chu people change, they can stick to Shangqiu and wait for the Three Jins to invite the Chu people to fight under Shangqiu City."

"If you manage Pengcheng as the Erdu, you can be wary of the Three Jins. If there is any change in the Three Jins, you can retreat to Pengcheng to wait for the Chu people to go north to fight."

"This is a reason to give the people and the nobles of Song Gong, and they are acceptable."

Historically, Pengcheng was indeed a refuge for the State of Song. Because of the rise of the Three Jins, the Chu people were civil strife, and the Mo family died in Yangcheng in an organized manner, which led to the State of Song being penetrated by South Korea. Song Gong retreated to Pengcheng and finally returned to Shangqiu by mediating and counterattacking.

It was also at that time that Pengcheng began to develop. After a great development of merchants' migration to the south, it wiped out the local nobles, and then moved the strategic center of the Chu people after the destruction of the Song Dynasty, making Pengcheng the capital of China and Western Chu between Chu and Han.

Nowadays, for the Mohist school, controlling Pengcheng has become a necessary path for the next development.

He pointed to the map and said, "When Pei County faces east, there are Teng, Xue and other places, this is something we can go deeper. To the south, it is Pengcheng."

"If Pengcheng can be controlled, Pengcheng, Pei, Liu and other places will be connected together. At this point, the Mo family has the strength to stop the war in the Central Plains."

"Pei County is too small now, so you can make an appointment with Shangqiu. In the future, it may be possible to make an appointment with Song State, but it is not enough to make an appointment with the Central Plains and the world."

"If you get Pengcheng, Teng, Xue and other places, the warlike kings in the world will be more cautious and dare not start a war in the Central Plains easily."

What he said was high-sounding was actually to take advantage of the upcoming chaos that the Mohist family took advantage of the opportunity of great powers to occupy the Pengcheng area and operate vigorously, so as to truly have enough power to shock the world.

From the beginning, Pei County was chosen for Pengcheng, because the geographical location was really great.

It is not easy to defend but difficult to attack, but Yue people will inevitably have a comprehensive strategic contraction within ten years, and the Mo people sent to Wu will accelerate this process.

The Qin people could not rise for the time being and were suppressed by the Three Jins. The strategic center of the Chu people could not move eastward, so the threat from the Chu people in Pengcheng was not great, and the Chu State would soon be unable to protect itself.

Once the Chu State encounters a crisis of inheritance rights, the Central Plains will inevitably be in chaos, and Pengcheng will be far away from the chaos in the Central Plains. It will not be difficult to develop within more than ten years.

Even if the Yue Kingdom declined and moved south, Qi Kingdom had not yet ended its turmoil in replacing Qi, and it would take twenty or thirty years to rise and prosperity. Therefore, the great powers around Pengcheng had no strength to enter this place within twenty years.
