Chapter 267: The Prince Runs to Zheng Mi Bing Yao (3)
The Qu General who arrived in Pei County overnight brought shocking news to the Mo family.
When he arrived, everyone was busy with the construction plan for the canal next year. Except for Qin Huali and others who were not in Pei County who went to the Sanjin, most of the senior figures of the Mohist school were present.
This news was a relief for Shi, but was shocked and exclaimed to the others.
King Chu was assassinated!
King Xiong Dang returned to Ying for less than a month. He was killed by an assassin on the street market. After approaching, he stabbed Xiong Dang's throat with a sword.
The assassin destroyed his face before his death, which was unrecognizable.
Only before he died, he left some words.
"The Mo family killed our Sima, and held a carbuncle. More than a hundred people died and injured in the royal family. However, the king still treated Mo with courtesy, which was because of his relatives and relatives, and was not enough to be the king! I killed for Chu, not killing, but righteousness!"
After saying that, this man destroyed his face and committed suicide by slashing his sword in the street market.
Among the sons of the King of Chu, the ones qualified to inherit are Prince Sui and Prince Ding.
The Duke of Chu was in chaos. Since the time of the Communist King, the dispute over inheritance rights caused by the monarch ascended the throne has never stopped.
Back then, Zi used the analogy of the rabbit walking in the market, and the later Prince Qiji's rebellion verified this matter.
It can be said that this incident was a serious lesson for the people of Chu, and the subsequent destruction of the country all arose because of this. However, Xiong Dang was in his prime, or because of Wu Zhu's superstition, he had no designated heir at all.
The prince suspected that he was born to the daughter of Qi and had a good relationship with Tian.
The prince Ding was born to Zheng's daughter, which was because the Zheng people were close to Chu and attacked Han.
The two of them have certain aristocratic support.
However, the prince was suspected of being a long-term plan, and most of the county officials and officials supported him were county officials.
The prince took advantage of the opportunity of the King of Chu going north to fight for hegemony, and asked his younger brother to go to Zheng State and stay in Yingdu to operate.
No one knows who sent the assassin, but it is obvious that many nobles have let this matter go, otherwise such a thing would not have happened.
It is normal for a monarch to be assassinated.
Not to mention the mysterious thing that the Marquis of Jin was robbed and killed, Qin Jun was also forced to commit suicide by a nobleman.
The nobles have great power, and it is the key to making conspiracies, and the two princes may not be so clean.
The death of the King of Chu was considered a political murder that the other people acquitted.
The prince suspected that he used his management in Chudu and quickly gained enough support after his father's death, and was promoted to the King of Chu by the nobles.
Prince Ding claimed that the assassin was sent by his brother and received the support of some nobles, but at this time Chu Du was already under the control of his brother and had no choice but to escape.
The newly succeeded King Chu knew that his younger brother had the right to inherit and had many nobles support, and could even get support from foreign forces, so he naturally got rid of it and quickly.
However, the prince also had power in Chu Capital. Following many disciples, friends and scholars, he bribed the gatekeepers and fled overnight. He took care of himself along the way, and the King of Chu could not catch up with him.
On the day when this incident happened, Qu Jiang went from Chu to Pei County day and night to inform the Giant Zi of the news.
For a moment, everyone present was confused, and only Shi understood in his heart that this was exactly what he wanted, and that he could tell more truths.
If the country is present, the prince will definitely flee and use the power of the Three Jins to seize the throne. He will not hesitate to split the Chu State and restore Chen and Cai. Is this considered traitor?
If the country is present, King Xiong of Chu would want to change and benefit the people of Chu, but instead was killed. The person who assassinated him can be said to be eliminating the harm for Chu.
So, whose country is it? Whose Chu is it?
He had already begun to prepare all kinds of inflammatory speeches afterwards, but he still pretended to be shocked by the news on his face.
Mozi, who was sitting in the head, heard this, slowly closed his eyes and sighed for a long time: "The fight will be over!"
After telling the news, Qu Jiang did not dare to look at Mo Zi's eyes because it was full of fatigue and helplessness, and even a hint of despair.
When he arrived just now, Mo Zi was smiling happily with everyone and even joking, obviously full of confidence and fantasy about everything and the future.
Qin Huali had already gone to Wei and Han, and the Wei people also had contact with the Mo family, seeking gunpowder to defend the city and iron tools for the reform of Jiahe. He was willing to participate in this Mo family's military meeting to benefit the world.
The Mo family guarded Shangqiu regardless of life and death, and fought to the death to win all this.
It seems that there will be peace in the Central Plains for at least twenty years, and the world will no longer be disturbed by unjust wars within twenty years, and the economy will be developed in vain, the population will be doubled, and the Jiarong Revolution... Everything seems so good.
And the shocking news came, and in just a moment, all the hopes that Mo Zi's old eyes had were shattered.
Just as he sighed, the fight will stop...it will be over.
Because in front of the Mo family, I have analyzed the reasons why this war will be successful: the balance of power between Jin and Chu, the difficulties in siege caused by the emergence of gunpowder weapons, and the increase in food for the defending party caused by the improvement of planting technology. As long as there is no field battle to win, both sides will be beneficial to attack and defending party.
Moreover, with the fact that the Mohist school, the elite organization that is best at defending the city, was interfering with the prestige and intimidation of the Chu army through the prestige, the Bings Association could indeed be achieved under this balance of power.
But... Shi also said it very clearly that this time, the fight will be just a balance, and once it is unbalanced, it will naturally be impossible to stop the fight.
As for benefiting the world? As for the righteous war and not attacking? The king will not believe it.
Where can Mozi not know the truth about all this?
Because I know, I am desperate.
The prince decided to flee to Zheng State, and the Zheng people must escort the prince to Chu. How could the Three Jins miss this opportunity to weaken Chu State?
As a loser, Prince Ding had any concerns in order to take up the throne and unite with the enemy San Jin? Not to mention San Jin, even barbarians would borrow troops immediately!
Everything in the Mibing Association is based on balance and stability, and now this premise has been broken!
While Mo Zi sighed, he felt a little dark in front of him. He wanted to say something but couldn't speak.
I have been more than seventy years of my righteousness this year, and I have been practicing righteousness for fifty years. Hundreds of disciples have died. What I want is to benefit the world, to conquer the world, and to love both without attacking.
The appearance of the situation brought about a turning point. In just three years, we took advantage of the opportunity to stop the war in the Central Plains.
After Mo Zi returned from Shangqiu, he was in a very good mood, so good that he could joke with his disciples, because he felt that he had pursued righteousness for fifty years and finally realized something today.
The world, even if it is stable for twenty years, isn’t it a good thing for the people of the world?
The hall was silent. Qu Jiang looked at Mo Zi and said with a knee: "Giant, I..."
He didn't know what to say, and he knew that he was doing right, but he really couldn't bear to see the giant's expression, and it seemed that he had aged a lot in an instant.
Mo Zi waved his hand and signaled that Qu Jiang would not have to worry. He suppressed his inner hope, squeezed out a smile, and said, "It is the same as losing it if you have gained it before, and the result is... ok... ok..."
Two words in a row, but in the end they turned into a helpless bitter smile.
After hearing so much about the world trend, everyone heard him talk about many contradictions and analysis, and understood that what Mozi said was true. This time, the Strike Meeting... was considered a premature death.
Even if Qin Huali has arrived in the Three Jin Dynasties, he had said before that the militant association has a great deal of importance, so many details must be discussed and not missed.
This is something that everyone agrees, but it can be seen that at most, when I just met the Marquis of Wei, it is impossible to agree on a covenant to settle the war.
Besides, even if it is agreed, will the Sanjin give up this rare opportunity?
Mo Zi rubbed his head that had fallen out of his old age, and pointed it at Shi and said, "Shi, what do you think of this?"
He stood up and walked to the simple world situation chart, took a few glances, shook his head and said, "What the sir said is right. If the prince can enter Zheng alive, the world will be in chaos."
He looked at everyone and suppressed his excitement, because Chu and Jin started a war due to inheritance rights. Although the world was in chaos, the chaos would be concentrated in Zheng and Han, and the Song State, as the eastern front, would not be affected by the war.
The time needed for Peixian and Pengcheng was achieved through this great power war, and he was extremely excited.
He also said: "The prince must have supporters, and there are a large number of people, otherwise he would not be able to run away. If he does not have supporters, if he thinks he will not have the chance to seize the throne after running away, why should he run away?"
"You also know that most of the royal family of Chu are important officials. Among them, the position of imperial court, except Peng Zhongshuang, are all royal family members."
"The prince and grandson account for the majority. If the prince does not escape, he can also be an important official. Since he escapes, he obviously has the ability to seize the throne."
"Zheng Bo is the uncle of Prince Ding, how can he not save him? The Zheng people fight against Chu, how can the Three Jins stand up? The Three Jins send troops, will the Duke County Duke who supports Prince Ding rebel against Chu?"
"Balance is broken, and it is impossible to stop the war."
After saying that, he bowed to Mo Zi and said, "Disciple knows that this time of stopping the war is a 50-year dream for Mr. Lu. But now that things have come to this point, I hope Mr. Lu Lu, and all the brothers and comrades will give up their fantasies and prepare for another way."
"This road has been tried in Shangqiu. By chance, it almost led to the suspension of war in the Central Plains."
"Ruopei and Peng, there are 3,000 Mo and 30,000 righteous men. The warlike king in the world dares to start a war easily?"
As everyone nodded, Wu Ma Bo, one of the seven enlightenment of the Mohist school, suddenly spoke out.
"Jiuzi, the words of Shi make sense. But I have one word."
"I will benefit the world by killing one person. Will this person kill or not? If you can prove that you know that killing this person is Privileged or not?"
"When it comes to the technique of killing in the world in close combat, my Mo family disciple is the only one in the world. The giant once said that if it is not good for the world, then the thirteen swords will kill it together. If it is so, can't that person be killed?"
Everyone understood Wu Ma Bo's intention, and that he wanted to send assassins to assassinate Prince Ding before Prince Ding fled to Zheng.
Once a prince with the right to claim his power is determined to die, then the Mibian Alliance seems to be able to persist, which will be of great benefit to the world.
