Chapter 63 Breaking the game
It is precisely because the princes have a country and the officials have a family.
Merchants have no country, common people have no home, and handmade things have no land.
This is the rule under the times, but with the development of productivity, this rule is spontaneously disintegrating, but the conservative forces are still huge.
Ji Sunluan was no longer a person from the old era in terms of economic attributes. This was an important factor in Wei Rang's ability to persuade him to succeed.
Ji Sunluan actually did not agree with everything about the Mo family, and he didn't even know much, but in the face of interests, it was easy to stand on the side that the Mo family wanted.
A county will bring talented people.
Fei's country is not big or small. If there are always talented people, there are many nobles who have studied some of the morals of the Mohist school. Some even think that the morals of the Mohist school are reasonable aristocrats, but thinking that it makes sense does not mean that they will do it.
Ji Sunluan is an "person" with economic attributes and has entered the new era, but his mind and thinking are still stuck in the old era.
Those who have studied the Mohist theory have entered a new era of mind and thinking, but their economic attributes are still in the old era.
In the Feiguo Palace, after several days of persuasion and negotiation, there was still no progress. The conditions proposed by the Mohist school were like asking you to fall into the vessel and asking you to take a vessel, which was impossible to accept anyway.
Fei Jun was worried and slightly angry, leaving only a few close servants around him.
One of the closest servants is the most special, with a beautiful and fair appearance.
Just as the song of Yue people sang: When will it be today, it flows in the boat. When will it be today, it will be with the prince. I am ashamed and not ashamed. I am very upset and never stop. I know that the prince has trees on the mountain and branches. I am happy to you but I don’t know.
The handsome man was riding a boat and saw that Mr. Chu was beautiful, so he sang and looked at him. Mr. Chu then put on his sleeves, walked and hugged him, and raised an embroidered quilt to cover him.
This is the case with the male spirit, but because of the existence of social status, the monarch must attack and the close servant must be affected.
In addition to being a beautiful person, he is also very talented, especially read poetry and books, and is also quite knowledgeable.
This man was also from a noble family, with a surname and a clan. Because his fief is south of Zheshan, most people call him Zheyangzi. This son is not a title of fame, but just a respectful title. Of course, the monarch would not call his male favorite like this.
Zheyangzi has read more books from the Mohist school over the years and has gained a lot. In the past few days, Meng Sheng and others persuaded him to accompany him often.
He was one of the few nobles who realized the current crisis in the capital, and was not as optimistic as the rest of the city.
Meng Sheng was aggressive this time and did not give in. He did not make any concessions before and after the previous battle of the Hanshui River. He was in a trend of more than 40 words without changing, adding or deleting a word.
The Mohist family was very powerful. Although Meng Sheng was a scholar in his family and was considered a senior scholar, his strength behind him was as strong as Wu Yue and Chu called himself king and looked at the Chinese politics, without any natural respect for the monarch.
Now that he has survived another day, Zhe Yangzi saw that his lover Fei Jun was exhausted, so he invited him to the dormitory. Soon Fei Jun's eyebrows were slightly relieved, and Zhe Chengzi wiped his mouth with cotton.
Fei Jun sighed, and Zhe Yangzi knew that he knew why he was worried about his lover. He knew that this was a national affairs, not a private matter, so he called him: "Your Majesty, now there are many chaos in the city, and the people of the country are like fire, so you must observe it."
Fei Jun said aloud: "How come I don't know? It's just that the Mohist school's changes are unacceptable."
Zhe Yangzi nodded and said, "Since this is the case, we must guard against the riots of the people. We can invite the officials and the six ministers to quell the rebellion, and each leads private troops into the capital to suppress the people."
He stretched out his hand and made a head-cut gesture and said, "The people are ignorant and afraid of death, and seek profit and suffer from trouble. If they kill a few people, they may be stable. Those who drive out the country will be closed. This fashion can be done and the country can be protected."
Fei Jun nodded, shook his head and said, "I have the same intention. It's just that the Mo family practices righteousness. If I do this, the Mo family will say that I am an unrighteous king. The righteous teacher is majestic and cannot compete with the Yue, let alone our country of hundreds of cycling?"
This is a fact. The big reason why the people of Fei Country can make trouble is because of the existence of Si Shang, as a strong backing, to strengthen everyone's courage.
The Mohist school wrote about the unjust punishment in the "Mo Jing". The king of Fei knew the consequences of doing so, so although he wanted to solve the problem with the simplest method, he could not solve the problem with the simplest method.
Fei Jun looked at Zhechengzi, and his gentle love finally appeared on his face, and he drove away a little displeasure and said, "Although your method cannot be implemented, it is for my own good."
Zhechengzi also smiled, but took a step back and said with courtesy of his ministers: "Although the Mo family said that it was unrighteous to punish Qin, Wei, Qi, and the kings of the country were justified? The Mo family could not punish them if they were unwilling to punish them."
"If you only look at Si Shang, there is no solution. If you agree with the Mo family, you will be chaotic and abolish the etiquette, and the country will be in chaos. If you disagree, you may have a national affairs."
"But if you look at the world, this matter can be resolved."
"One delayed, just talk about this matter and then discuss it to stabilize the people of the country. The secretly transferred the doctor, Shangqing, who had a family to protect the country, gathered private troops into the capital."
"The second one will write several letters and ask for help from Qi and Wei, and use the power of Qi and Wei to suppress the Mo family."
Fei Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Fei Xiao. I am like a sheep."
"The Mo family is like a tiger, Qi and Wei are like a wolf, and I am a sheep. It is not wise to invite wolves to drive a tiger. If I am a dragon and a leopard, I may be able to drive a tiger and swallow a wolf. If I spend a small amount of money, this matter will never be feasible."
The country of Fei was able to establish a country on Si by surviving between the cracks of the great powers. The country of Yue was strong and became close to Qi, which made the country of Yue dare not annex, and Qi could not go deeper.
There is also the monarch of this wisdom in Fei's country.
However, Zhe Yangzi said: "The master is famous, and I am famous, so that Qi and Wei can only fight against the Mo family and not invade our land."
Fei Jun frowned and asked, "What's the name?"
Zhe Yangzi said in a deep voice: "Protect etiquette! Seeking benevolence. This matter cannot be said to let Qi and Wei help support Fei's country, but to ask the countries to maintain the ritual system and the superiority of the ritual system. It also said that the Mohist family would cause chaos in the world and not give the world the opportunity to carry out benevolent government. So he asked Qi and Wei to send troops to seek benevolence in the world."
When Fei Jun heard the word "Ren", his head aches and said with a wry smile: "Are you sick? Why are you talking nonsense? The Mohist school is good at speaking benevolence and eloquent, and these proposals from the Mohist school are also benevolent governments. How can I use such a reason? I am afraid that if you use such a reason, you will be ridiculed?"
Zhe Yangzi waved his head and said, "The benevolence of the Mo family is not the kindness of the highest in the world. Benevolence comes from politeness and rudeness. How can there be benevolence?"
Seeing that Fei Jun didn't understand well, he explained again: "Your Majesty, if someone in the market owes money and plans the creditor, can this person's behavior be called benevolence?"
Fei Jun shook his head and said, "This is a normal thing."
Zheyangzi asked again: "If you collect taxes but give some relief to the people when they are famine. Then, can you call it benevolence?"
Fei Jun said: "This can be called Ren."
Zhe Yangzi smiled and said, "So, if the Mo family's morality is practiced in the world, then the world will lose its benevolence and virtue."
"Everyone is equal, and talent is judged by others. Can a nobleman be polite to a lowly and talented person? It is not possible that under equality, people without talent salute to talented persons. It is natural, just like paying off debts. Can this be rumored?"
"The Mohist theory about family and country, then the king should benefit the people. This is like owing money from the people. Paying back money is not a benevolent government, but just for granted. So how can it be called benevolence?"
"Etiquette is the beginning of benevolence. Only when there is a difference between high and low can be implemented benevolent government. If there is no difference between high and low, everyone is equal, and it is also said that the rule of law is used to make profits. If the king exists for the benefit of the people, everything he does is right, so how can he have benevolence?"
"The people are ignorant. If you become a monarch, you must steal the people's wealth and give some to the people, so that the people will call it benevolent government."
"The people are confused. There must be a difference between high and low, so that the wise can feel that they are valued by the superiors, and that they can be praised for their virtues."
"So, the basis of benevolence is that there are other rules for the noble and the low. Rules are rituals, and there is no benevolence. If the Mohist school does not obey etiquette, how can they say that they have benevolence?"
"In the past, people of Jin cast a cauldron, and Zhongni said, "The noble and humble are in disorder, so why do you make a country?"
"Where can there be benevolent government without noble and humbleness? How can there be virtuous politics without noble and humbleness?"
Zhe Yangzi looked at the king and approached and asked again: "If there is a person who killed chickens and slaughtered dogs on the street now, there are some talented people. One person has a low status and is given a hundred gold ritual to see him, and he is also a weak left; one person has a noble position and no need for a hundred gold rank, and he is waiting for him. Then, which kind of talented people thinks he respects himself?"
Fei Jun said: "It is the noble person who is respected more by the noble blood."
Zhe Yangzi asked, "But if everyone is equal, how can this respect be distinguished? How can the virtues of the nobles be demonstrated? The Mohist school wants to seek profit, so whoever gives more benefits will do things for whom, which is a collapse of morality. Therefore, the morality of the Mohist school will make the world unvirtuous, rude, and benevolent."
Fei Jun understood the meaning of this. If you follow the Mohist theory, what the monarch does is beneficial to the people, it should be taken for granted. So can things taken for granted? Just like paying back money by debts, can you call it benevolence?
But Fei Jun would ask, "But the Mo family still talks about kindness."
Zheyangzi has read many books from the Mo family, and nodded after hearing this, "The benevolence of the Mo family is love for oneself. The mainstream benevolence of the world is love. This is the difference."
"The Mohist school selects wise men as the emperor, gathers all righteousness and has a synonym, and convenes all the people to elect representatives and controls the laws that benefit the people. Who do those laws that represent the laws that benefit?"
Fei Jun said: "Everyone seeks profit, but it is mostly for himself."
Zhe Yangzi smiled and said, "Then, people choose representatives to govern the law and rule, and formulate laws and policies that are beneficial to themselves. Isn't this love for themselves? Therefore, the benevolence of the Mohist school is love for themselves, and their system is also practicing loving themselves. Once their 'benevolence' is to practice their 'benevolence', it will inevitably happen... The choice of wise men as the representative of the law."
"In this way, how can the monarch have the qualifications to carry out the mainstream benevolent government in the world? The mainstream benevolence in the world is love. To be in the upper throne, like raising a horse, you can love a horse; like sheep, you can love a sheep. If everyone loves himself and controls the government because of his love for himself, how can there be benevolence? All politics are introduced by everyone loves himself. How can shepherd the sheep? How can shepherd the horse?"
"So, if the Mo family benevolence is to love oneself, the monarch of the world will inevitably be frightened. This is what the Mo family still concealed from the princes of the world. We can write it out and tell the world to spread it."
Fei Jun still didn't turn the corner and chuckled, "Isn't this going to debate with the Mohist school? Is this useless to say these?"
Zhe Yangzi opened his eyes wide and said, "How come it is useless?"
"We must turn the affairs of Feiguo into affairs of the world. We must turn the affairs of Si into disputes between etiquette, law and rules."
"Fei Kingdom should be the first to oppose the Mohist morality, expose the Mohist ambitions, and turn the affairs of Fei Kingdom and the country into major events for the princes of the world to maintain the rules."
"In this way, Qi and Wei will send troops, the world will be shaken, and Si Shang will become the powder keg for the world, and will drive chaos in the world, so that your country can be protected!"
"The bigger this matter is, the more beneficial it is to you; the more people you kill, the more stable your status is. If you first raise a knife to slaughter the Mo people in Feiguo and expel the Mo family, then you will have a place in the world alliance in the future."
"Jump out of Si and stir up the world, and the country can be saved. Otherwise, it will be a dead knot. If this strategy is adopted, it can be untied."
