Chapter 71 Suppressing the rebellion

The fight at the small tea shop soon spread to the Mohist base in the capital of Feiguo, which made Xu Ruo a little confused.

As Meng Sheng was there, Xu Ruo went to ask for advice.

"Do you think this is a good thing? Or a bad thing? I think that in this case, the people should first consider the details of the system, the system, and change, and then consider the mysterious morality. Is that true?"

Meng Sheng smiled and asked back: "Since we need to talk about law and reform, what are the reasons for law and reform? What are the reasons for change?"

"If you can't tell the difference between debut, you cannot deduce the art. Is the reason for change? Is the monarch's mercy to carry out benevolent governments? Or should the system itself benefit everyone? Is the change the duty? Or is it mercy? Is benevolence? Is it love others? Or is it love yourself? Or is it as Taoism says that benevolence and righteousness come out and the world is in chaos?"

"Can these seemingly useless things be distinguished clearly?"

This is a question that does not require careful consideration for Xu Ruo. He hurriedly said: "I can understand the truth that is like this. But will such a quarrel be divided into the power of the people?"

Meng Sheng nodded and said, "So, it is appropriate to say that the common people should be kept by the differences. It is also said that this kind of benefit to the world should be dominated by the Mohist school. Zi Mo Zi said that in ancient times, thousands of people had different opinions. Even if it benefited the world, different people had different ideas. Based on this, they rationally outlined what the world would look like."

"Everything must be taken from its essence to remove the dross. The same is true for the righteousness. Lao Dan's words are not without merit for us Mohist school. The words of Zhongni and Zi Mozi have often praised them. Those who meet our righteousness will absorb and transform them; those who do not meet our righteousness should be removed."

"The world can only have a mainstream meaning, so it must be the same, otherwise the world will be in chaos. The same is words, language, and meaning. Otherwise, the Zhao people have the same meaning as the Zhao people, and the Chu people have the same meaning as the Chu people. As the saying goes, the hearts of the non-sparage of our race must be different. This race can be different, and this meaning can be different. If the world does not value the same, it will fall apart."

Xu Ruo nodded and said, "It's like this in the world. Isn't it the same with the theory of Fei and the country? Some people hope that the monarch will govern the law, some people hope that the people will discuss politics and republic, and some people will even hope that the monarch will be divided into more food, small countries and few people will do their own politics to achieve autonomy..."

Meng Sheng smiled and said, "But some people come forward and say, is the current system unshakable?"

Xu Ruo suddenly said, "This is not."

Meng Shengdao: "That's it. Have you ever seen a craftsman who makes pottery? It takes many steps to make pottery. The first step is to dig out the hard clay and smash it with water to mix it. Then, do you want to make a pottery bowl, a pottery jar, or a pottery pot?"

"The current dispute is whether to make a pottery bowl or a pottery jar. But there is no dispute over the fact that the original pottery clay and water are mixed."

"The Mo family... want to make clay pots. Then we must take the lead and convince those who want to make clay bowls to make clay pots, or first break the clay clay with them and mix the clay water, and then talk about the rest."

Xu Ruo sighed and said, "What I am worried about is the issue of dominance. With the above judgment, the people of Fei's country can spontaneously carry out revolutions and naturally move closer to us. However, under the chaos, thousands of people have many righteousness and ambitious people frequently appear."

"How can the Mohist school dominate the country without exerting its efforts?"

Meng Sheng stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky and said, "Looking at the world, don't just look at Feiguo. The affairs of Feiguo are not Feiguo's affairs, but the affairs of the Mo family, Wei, Qi and other countries. I ask you, if we do not have our military support, even if Ji Sunluan becomes the leader and changes, can he support it?"

Xu Ruo shook his head, as if he understood something, Meng Sheng said again: "If this is a great country such as Chu, Jin, Qin, Qi, etc., the people of the people are rioting, discussing laws and political affairs, our Mohist family must participate in it and die first, so that they can gain leadership."

"If Qi and Jin are like this, as long as they win, change the land system and make the people profit, the people can understand what profit is and what power is. Then why bother with this? Zhenbing shouts to participate in it, and just use the power of the people of Qi and Jin to organize the righteous army, who can stop the world?"

"The problem is that Feiguo is too small, and the people are passionate and enlightened, but their strength is not enough to fight the world system. Therefore, the greatest support of the Mohist school is not to be a pioneer in the riots of the Chinese people, climbing the city and beating drums to fight, but to take the lead in acknowledging the legitimacy of the change after the riots are successful, and relying on the righteous teacher to repel possible interference. This is the initiative we should seize."

"Looking at the world, the Mo family is not good for the future of the world today. Because Feiguo is too small. If this is Chu, Qi, and Jin, we will naturally go naked. As long as we succeed, the world can be expected. No need to consider the other consequences, we rely on the people's desire to seek profit and the benefit of the righteous army and soldiers, so that the world can agree with our rules."

"Now if you don't pay attention to the matter of Fei Kingdom, you will become an uncontrollable situation. The battle between Qin, Chu, Qi and Jin seems to be aggravated, but if Fei Kingdom is radical, the people discuss politics and abolish the lords, they will immediately stop to suppress the great cause of benefiting the world."

Xu Ruo had already understood and asked in silence for a long time: "The situation in Feiguo is the best result for the world of benefiting the world... is not the best result for the people of Feiguo?"

Meng Shengdao: "After entering the Mo family, you must look at the world."

"In the past, Wu Mazi and Zi Mozi argued, saying: I am different from Zi, and I cannot love both. I love Zou people from Yue people, Lu people from Zou people, my hometown people from Lu people, my family people from villages, my family people, my family people, my body in my family, and my relatives, and I think it is close to me. If I hit me, I will get sick, and if I hit him, I will not get sick, and if I don't get sick, I will not get sick? Therefore, I will kill him for me, but I will not kill me for profit."

"If you don't look at the world, you will be like Wu Mazi said. He is from Lu, so you love Zou people more than you love Yue people, Lu people more than you love Zou people, and then you love the people in your hometown more than you are from other places in Lu... If the world is like this, do you know what the consequences?"

This is something the Mohist school has been promoting. If you want to unify the world, you must promote the concept of people in the world and firmly oppose any "national"ism in the Jiuzhou and Xia. Otherwise, the division between Zhao, Qin, Lu, Zou and others will have devastating consequences for the world.

Xu Ruo didn't say anything, he realized himself.

In his opinion, according to the morality of the Mo family, the best result that the people of Fei country could achieve was to completely abolish the monarch. However, it seems that it would be difficult for the Mo family to not go into battle bare hands, and Ji Sunluan would eventually have the identity of a young man, and the people in the era would probably still choose Ji Sunluan.

He didn't know that Wei Rang was Mo'er, nor did he know that Ji Sunluan had never come forward, but the Mo family was secretly controlling him and borrowing a puppet to control the situation of Fei's country within a controllable range.

So Xu Ruo was a little confused. Meng Sheng was using "benefiting the world" to explain, that is, the situation of Feiguo may not be the most beneficial to Feiguo, but it can be beneficial to the world in the future. This is a kind of compromise and helplessness under the situation. I hope Xu Ruo can look at the world and get out of the troubles.

After Xu Ruo was silent, he said slowly: "Seeing the world, what is the best result for the situation in Feiguo?"

Meng Sheng quoted Mo Zi again and said: "Zi Mo Zi said that if the world wants to profit, it must be the same but the same, and it is determined to be one. Nowadays, Si is just not attacking the alliance, which is a kind of meaning. Not attacking is the meaning of the Mo family, but the meaning of the Mo family is not just not attacking."

"The best situation is that the non-aggressive alliances of the countries in Si Shang go further. Non-aggressive alliances, tax and fee alliances, education alliances, text alliances, weight and measure alliances, currency alliances..."

"Don't hurry, wait. When the time comes, we will do things that are beneficial to the world."

Meng Sheng looked at the direction of the palace in the city and thought that he had come forward and gave both sides some time to breathe. It seemed that he gave the king and nobles of Fei to prepare time, but in fact it gave the people of Fei to more time. The king and nobles of Fei to the state of Fei to the point of view, it seems that the situation of Fei to the state of Fei: as long as Ji Sunluan becomes a coup, even if the nobles do not support it and the old forces raise troops to oppose it, it will be useless.

The Mohist family can send troops legitimately, but the affairs of Feiguo have little to do with Feiguo, but are sandwiched between Wei, Qi, Chu, and Mo. The ultimate decision of their direction is these external forces.

…………

In the Feiguo Palace, Fei Jun was extremely impatient, and his close servants were also frowning, some were shouting loudly or some were eager to blame.

What Ji Sunluan said in front of the palace gate made Fei Jun’s situation immediately unfavorable. This was a situation that the ministers and nobles did not expect. Ji Sunluan would stand up to support the people.

Aristocratic coup also requires the support of the people. However, if the people want to riot, the nobles will not support it, especially because the conditions are so harsh. Being a monarch requires the support of the nobles, and the current opinions of the people are simply opposed by the nobles.

Nobles can make coups, but not revolutions. This difference makes Ji Sunluan's reversal at a critical moment far-reaching significance.

Neither the king nor the nobles were born to know everything. Under empiricism, they could only infer the current situation from the past situation. It would be impossible to succeed without the riots inciting behind the scenes. This is a long-standing experience and it seems to have become a rule.

When Ji Sunluan jumped out, Fei Jun realized that the situation was serious.

The ministers and nobles all advised: "The people in the capital are in chaos, and Gongzi Luan is luring people to do things that are chaotic. At this moment, it is still fine outside the capital. We should urgently dispatch private soldiers and soldiers from all walks of life to diligently suppress the rebellion in the palace!"

"Whoever is rioted, kills. If not, it is not enough to deter the common people. If the common people seek profit and fear death, they must be afraid of death, and the chaos can only be quelled."

Now the city is in chaos, and people with swords and spears are connected everywhere. In addition, many people have experienced serving in the righteous army. In a mess, the people in the capital cannot defend themselves with only these soldiers in the city.
