Chapter 72 The King's Treason

Hearing such a suggestion, Zhe Yangzi, who was accompanying him, said nothing.

He believed that the affairs of Fei State could not be solved by Fei State itself, so it was necessary to mobilize the princes of the world to "respecte etiquette and protect the rules" to drag the whole world into the land of Fei State, and completely turn Fei State into the battlefield between the princes of the world and the Mo family, otherwise it would be impossible to solve it.

However, Fei Jun had denied his idea before, fearing wolves in front and tigers in the back, and he did not dare, or was unwilling to escape and wait for the future to be restored.

When Fei Jun made the decision that day, Zhe Yangzi had already made the decision. Once the Chinese people's riots succeeded, he would "first-righteously" and punish the tyrants to seek wealth under the new righteousness.

So today, the ministers and nobles said that they would mobilize the soldiers to quell the rebellion, and Zheyangzi did not say a word.

Some things are too bloody and cannot be said in front of everyone. Just like what was persuaded by Fei Jun that day, they could only talk privately, and they could not be said directly when the ministers discussed politics. The nobles would oppose the Fei Kingdom becoming a battlefield, and the Mo family was right next to them, and they were the first to destroy their fiefdom system.

Perhaps these nobles present just wanted their fiefdom not to be swallowed by the anger of the Mo family, but if they heard Zhe Yangzi's suggestions, they would definitely give many high-sounding reasons to object. Zhe Yangzi, who is familiar with the classics of the Mo family, believes in the interests analysis, and he is unwilling to put forward the opinions of slaughtering the capital and rioting people in public at this time. If things go wrong, he will be pulled out and dismembered to calm the anger of the people.

At this moment, Zhe Yangzi and his opinion on the aristocrats' suggestions to ask the doctors to summon private soldiers and send their confidants to their fiefdom to collect their children from their subordinates to fight against the people. Of course, they did not object, they just listened silently.

By default, it is not an open agreement. If you fail in the future, you will have a chance anyway.

Fei Guo was too young to have ambitions and dare not have ambitions, so he created a group of degenerate nobles who were just waiting to die and only knew how to oppress the people.

Now these nobles are surprisingly united: they neither want to lead the troops of Wei and Qi into the country nor dare to anger the Mo family as martyrs of the ritual rules, so they think of relying on private soldiers and soldiers to solve the problem of the capital.

At least, it sounds like there is no chaos elsewhere except for a few big cities. People elsewhere may have heard of the name of the Mohist school, and some may have fled to the Sutra of Si, but they still don’t understand what Dharma is, what profit is, and why they are the lord.

Relying on the private soldiers of the nobles to solve the chaos in the capital is the only way.

However, these nobles would not send troops just here. Since the capital was in chaos, they would need to get what they wanted from it.

Several nobles said together: "According to the past, the law cannot be changed. Today, I would like to ask you to swear by the swearing. From then on, there will be no reforms. All races will be blindly engaged in blind dates and will not invade. If you violate this oath, the gods will be in a hurry!"

"Ji Sunluan uses the people's rebellion to change the law of ancestors, so that the people's selfishness is too strong, which will harm the country. If the king changes the law in the future, what is the difference between Ji Sunluan?"

"In ancient times, it is not justified. This time, the use of armored soldiers and private soldiers is not only for the country, the country, but also for the etiquette and laws."

Fei Jun had no choice but to say: "Good!"

The Mohist school’s suggestions on reform were not only aimed at the people, but also to weaken the rights and interests of the nobles and require the nobles to pay taxes.

For a great country, this is a very attractive suggestion for the king of a great country.

But for a small country like Fei State, it is tantamount to giving the nobles a precaution. The king... may not necessarily stand with the nobles.

If the Mohist family's requirements this time included a lot of content that weakened the monarch's power, wealth, and fiefdom interests, and only some suggestions for the nobles, the monarch might not be able to accept it.

Seeing that Fei Jun agreed, the nobles said, "The city is too chaotic at this time. If they move with chariots and horses, they may be prepared for the mobs in the city."

"It is better to send people out of the city privately and stabilize the people first. The matter of change is already being discussed. Wait until the soldiers gather in the future and then go back on their word."

These ministers and nobles in the court were in the capital, but their fiefs were all in other places, and their foundations were also in other places, so it would take time to mobilize private soldiers.

Meng Sheng came out to mediate a few days ago, so that the double rebels did not have a conflict in front of the palace gate. These nobles also felt that they could use the stupidity of the Mo family to get the time they needed the most.

After discussion, Mr. Fei sacrificed his sacrifice with the nobles and vowed with blood: he would not invade each other in the future, and the king would not reform. If he implemented a tax policy, he would need to discuss with the six nobles and the nobles' fiefdoms shall not be deprived of the nobles and shall not be taxed on the private land of the nobles.

Conversely, the nobles would also swear to protect the king to the death and not allow rebellion or other things.

After the alliance was completed, several confidential confidants or close servants were selected, and they asked them to change their clothes, leave the palace at night, and leave the city to convey the news to the doctors and nobles on various fiefdoms, or the descendants of the nobles in the court, and asked them to ignite private soldiers and soldiers and come to the capital to quell the rebellion.

Fei Jun is not a person who can do great things. All he thought was that if it really didn't work, he would ask Wei Qi and other countries to send troops to attack the Mo family.

As for now, it is difficult to make such a decision, because Fei Guo is too close to Si Shang, and once such a decision is made, he will easily become a fugitive king.

He also had the fantasy of letting the nobles quell the chaos.

…………

A few days later, the capital of Feiguo was already in chaos.

Different stakeholders speak on the street about their thoughts about change, attracting different people.

The prices of grain in the city are rising, and merchants seize this opportunity and start hoarding food, increasing the prices of food, and preparing to make profits.

Some people spread the Mohist new work "On Political Affairs" on the streets, which was proposed by the synonyms of the law. If the law cannot be executed by itself, there must be an executor. The executor must be separated from the power to make the law, which has caused more people to think.

The chaos after the tea shops that few days have not been resolved. Different supporters gathered together to discuss what they supported and improve the system they supported.

This chaotic situation was finally broken by a copper ringtone. A rider was shaking the copper ringtone in his hand and galloped on the streets of the capital of Feiguo. He would shout loudly whenever some gathered people passed by.

"The king secretly ordered the doctors and nobles to come out with their soldiers and private soldiers to come to the capital to slaughter us! Are you still arguing about these things here? The commoners, farmers, industry and commerce, gather together, don't argue for now!"

The rider didn't know who he belonged to or from which side he was, but his shaking of the copper bell and his subsequent shouts immediately attracted the attention of the people in the capital.

A gathering place where land policy was being discussed, Aoi heard the rider's words and shouted loudly: "What are you talking about? What's going on?"

The rider shouted: "Mr.... Bah! The tyrant asked his servants to quietly leave the city and were captured. He heard that he would gather the private soldiers and soldiers of the doctors and nobles to quell our "rebellion". But you are still making noise about those things here!"

Kui cursed after hearing this, "I have long said that the nobles and monarchs are unreliable! Now, look, they have no intention of reform? That day, when they said that they would delay it, they just wanted to discuss reform again, but they were discussing how to slaughter us all!"

The crowd suddenly became a fuss. Some were nervous, some were afraid, and some were angry. Some people shouted: "Go to the market! Go to the market! Everything that has served in the charity master goes to the market. Didn't the skills we learned mean that we had the power to protect ourselves?"

"Yes! Go to the market!"

"Don't be afraid! If you want to slaughter us, we must first let his blood dry!"

Even if there are timid people, they are surrounded by the crowd and move towards the wide market.

In another place, Ximen Tu and others were listening to a person who promoted the content that they could not return to nature. After hearing the rider's words, Ximen Tu sneered and said to himself: "In this world... there is no benevolent monarch? If there is a monarch, all of them are evil! I should kill him to become a righteous man!"

…………

More and more people gathered towards the market. A high platform had been built in the center of the market. Several people were tied to the wood on it, and several people were holding several letters. Some were chanting the contents of the letters. It was exactly what Fei Jun wanted the nobles to bring private soldiers and soldiers into the capital to quell the rebellion.

After the people's anger was ignited, a young man jumped onto the stage and shouted loudly: "People, industry and commerce! He once followed the doctor Ji Liangyan: The people are the lord of God. Therefore, the sage king first becomes the people and then devotes himself to God!"

"The Tai Ou says: God will follow the people's desires! There is nothing wrong with the people's desire for profit. The nature of the people is loved by the emperors of heaven and heaven."

"We are the people, and our desires are for profit. God will follow what we want, so what is wrong with us?"

"The Book of Xia also says that the people are the foundation of the country, and the country is peaceful! The people are the foundation of the country, but today, our 'monarch' wants to slaughter us because we seek profit!"

"From this perspective, the monarch is treason! He should be punished!"

This was a horrifying sentence, and the scene suddenly became chaotic and many people were startled.

The king treason?

This sentence sounds so ridiculous, as if it were crazy words. After a few short sentences, it was so reasonable and without any loopholes.

The people are the lord of God. Therefore, the sage king first becomes the people and then devotes himself to God! From this, it can be attributed that God lives behind the people.

God will follow the people's desires. This proves the legitimacy of the people's reform and seeking profits. This is what God likes and will definitely follow the people's desires. In addition, the Mohist sayings that encourage selfishness and benevolence over the years make these words sound more reasonable.

Perhaps, when people seek profit, they will feel guilty and embarrassed, and feel that they seek profit because they have desires. This is not a good person. But over the years, the Mohist school has been inciting: release their own desires and seek profits. As long as they make laws stipulate that they do not harm others, what kind of laws can give everyone the opportunity to seek profit.

This ideological imprisonment of asceticism has been broken, and people like to listen to what they want to listen to. These self-interested contents have smashed the shackles that have been put on the people's thoughts for hundreds of years.

What remains is a lineage: the people are the foundation of the country, and the people are the country. The king wants to slaughter the people, but he wants to regard them as rebellion because the people seek profit. This must be something that the Emperor of Heaven does not like, and it is also "traitordom".

The key point is what is the definition of this country? Is it the country of the king? Or the country of the people?

If the people are just the "resources" of the king, the laborers who cultivate the land, and the prisoners who go to the battlefield, then the king will never treason. If I don't like my own things, I will kill them. What's wrong with it? Is it a sin to kill my own chicken and my own pig?

However, the Mohist school said that labor creates wealth and land without anyone ploughing is worthless. It is the people who feed the monarchs and nobles rather than the other way around. This is the basis of the economy.

The remaining ones can reasonably draw the ridiculous but serious conclusion of "the monarch treason".
