If you scold me, get out of here, that is a very harsh reprimand.

But the words my father scolded were more about care.

Ximen Bao actually liked this concubine's son very much. He himself had come into contact with the theory of the Mo family, so he was convinced that young people, especially the nobles and concubines who had no worries about food and clothing, would definitely like some content in the Mo family's morality.

Young people are passionate, and they are always better than focusing on things like hunting and playing with women. Moreover, what the Mohist family has to do sounds very stylish and is suitable for young and ignorant young people.

After that reprimand, Ximen Bao basically never talked to Ximen Pi again, but occasionally he heard some rumors, and sometimes he would pay attention to what his son was doing recently.

This time, the news that the Marquis of Wei asked him to siege Handan came, and Ximen Bao was sure that Ximen Teng would come to see him and would definitely wear a noble costume.

Wearing that gorgeous outfit, it was his son of Ximen Bao, who talked to his father as his son.

Taking off his gorgeous clothes, he was a young man who was bewitched by the morality of the Mo family, questioning the executor of this unjust war with the justice that the young people knew.

Now, the father and son are in a deadlock again.

Ximen Bao didn't care about Ximen Ting's morality in learning the Mohist schools, which was nothing wrong in itself. As for questioning himself, in his opinion, it means that his son has great ambitions and is not afraid of majesty, and may succeed in the future.

What he was angry might be just a mentality of regret: his son is too naive, even if he goes to Si Shang, he is afraid he won't be able to make a name for himself.

A year ago, he said that the Mohist morality learned by Ximen Tsu was just the basics, and he learned the people as the gods to become the purest of the people.

Now he said that Ximen Tsu had no idea what the Mohist slogans really contained. His son thought that Si Shang was a paradise, and that the people there had no struggle, and they were both virtuous and comrades, and everyone was pure and good-looking.

All of this made Ximen Bao worry.

My son has already reached this point and may be unable to turn back.

It doesn't matter if you don't look back. You are a concubine's son. Ximen Bao also attaches great importance to the Mo family's morality in the future. It may really sweep the world.

Moreover, as a nobleman and a minister, Ximen Bao was very aware of the dirty politics between various countries.

Just like him, when Wenhou was alive, he almost was distrustful by Wenhou because of some slander. Finally, he used some methods to settle the position of Ye Shou.

If the young master had attacked the rule of law back then, I was afraid that he, the Ye Shou, would not have been able to do a long-term basis.

He was not hostile to the Mo family, but on the contrary he admired some of the actions of the Mo family. If this concubine's son who could not inherit everything could join the Mo family, it would be a destination.

Looking at the world, the Mo family is now an uncrowned king and a marquis who are simply conferred a title. They can compete with the Three Jins, Qin, Qi and Chu. The other countries are just small countries and cannot compete with them.

However, what Ximen Bao was worried about was that his son, with full of passion, regarded Si Shang as a paradise, and thought that everyone was kind and a place for benevolent people. After he went there, he realized that there was a gap with his imagination and could not bear the pain of the shattered fantasy.

By then, I was already full of disgust with everything that was old; I felt uneasy about the new policy of Si Shang; then my life would be ruined.

People need to be perseverant in order to achieve great things.

Ximen Bao didn't want to care whether his son joined the Three Jin Dynasties, Qin Chu, or the Mo family, but he just hoped that his son could make a difference.

But if I were already full of disgust with everything in the old world, and I felt uneasy about the new policy of Si Shang, and under the sway, there would be no place in the world.

In a world of change and a world of chaos, if you want to achieve great things, you can only choose between the old and the new, and there is no third way.

Perseverance does not mean loyalty or loyalty.

In Ximen Bao's view, such as Wu Qi, who had learned swords, Confucianism, and military tactics, became an official in Lu State, and turned to Wei State, and now he has gone to Qin State.

Even so, Ximen Bao was sure that Wu Qi could accomplish great things because he had perseverance and knew what he wanted. He didn't seem to be dedicated and absolutely loyal, but everything was for the four words "to make achievements".

Wu Qi was consistent, so from Lu to Wei to Qin, he could accomplish great things.

Where is the son?

I felt that everything that was old was dirty, but was he really ready to devote himself to the great cause of the Mo family? After going there, if he was disappointed, he would feel disgusted by the old, and then he would be confused about what he could do and what he wanted to do... Even if this person was abandoned in this troubled world, he would be memorable for the rest of his life.

He scolded his son, not to scold his son, but to make a choice by scolding him, to be determined, and to make a decision.

More than a year later, today's scolding still has the same meaning and the same truth.

He was waiting for his son to answer, and judged from his son's answer whether his son was ready and strengthened his mind.

If he was still kneeling down and crying like a year ago, he said that his heart was tortured by morality, then Ximen Bao would choose to lock his son up before going to war. He was afraid that his son would be so depressed that he could not find a way, so he decided to die to get rid of old pain and new disillusionment, and even ran to Handan foolishly to defend the city for "justice".

After this scolding, Ximen Tiao was stronger than Ximen Bao imagined.

Although his words were still fierce, he did not have the childish behavior as he had a year ago. After he scolded him, he politely said: "Father, the Mohist law has the theory of stating the truth and not the heart. The Mohist scriptures have the theory of objective and subjective."

"You may not be able to understand these words, but you can simply understand them as objective as traces; subjective as heart."

"What did Mr. Zhao think? Is it not important whether I really want to benefit the world or whether I really want to benefit the people of Zhao?"

"What is important is that everything he did in Handan has benefited the people. Even if this benefit is for his own power and the position of a monarch, it is still objectively progressive, and I will support it."

"As for what he will do after becoming a lord, whether he will choose another way according to the morality of the Mo family, that is one thing. I cannot do these things now because he may have done out of his own power, and even what he is doing now is against."

"Father, why do the people of Ye respect you and love you? Because of your bloodline? No, it is because you manage Hebo and build Zhangshui, so that the people can benefit."

"And now you are going to mobilize the people of Ye to attack Zhao. This is the order of the Marquis of Wei. I have never expected to persuade you to give up."

"I just want to tell you that your approach is unjust. By the way... I also want to tell you that I am going to study in Sishang."

Ximen Bao was slightly stunned, but was not too surprised, and just asked, "What did you think of what I said to you a year ago? Do you think you understand the meaning of the Mo family now?"

Ximen Tiao shook his head and said, "I don't understand very much, I don't understand it."

"But before, it was like a fog in front of me, without the sun or the starlight, I don't know how to go."

"And now, although the eyes are still blurry, it is not the fog around, but just the water on my face in front of me. Although it is blurry, someone will help me wipe it clean."

"Everything you said is true, but what else is there? Just like the story I told you last year that Gongsun Ze was a good person and a gentleman, but he was just a good person, a gentleman. What I want to do is no longer be a good person, but want the world to not need the good person like that in that story."

"I've finished telling that story, but I wondered what will happen after the story? Gongsun Ze might mock the common people for being polite, but with compassion, he might even send some salt to the farmer. However, another possibility of the story is that the farmer has his own land and no longer needs the mercy of such a gentleman."

Ximen Bao smiled, nodded and shook his head, and asked for a long time: "What happened this year?"

Upon hearing this, Ximen Tsui smiled bitterly and said, "A lot of things have happened this year."

Yes, a lot of things.

Just after being scolded by Ximen Bao a year ago, Ximen Teng had been confused, hesitant, helpless, and didn't know where to go.

After a few months, he listened to a lot of reasons and solved many doubts. Until one day, he had a conversation with someone in that Mohist base in Yecheng.

More than half a year ago, a middle-aged man came to the Mo family stronghold in Yecheng. He was knowledgeable and well-informed. The man from the Mo family stronghold was transferred away. It is said that he seemed to have gone to Gaoliu, north of Zhaodi.

The new middle-aged man is very talkative and knows a lot of things. He should be a nobleman, but he may have done a lot of jobs in Jiahe, and he can chat and laugh with the children of aristocratic people, the people of Jiahe, and the farmers of Jiahe.

Middle-aged people are very distinctive, missing a little finger, and they were cut off at the same time.

After hearing the middle-aged man tell many moral stories, Ximen Tiao asked curiously about the middle-aged man's little finger.

The middle-aged man just smiled faintly and said, "I wake up and show my ambitions, and devote myself to the cause of benefiting the world."

I answered casually and told indifferently, but many people around me were illuminating their eyes, guessing what kind of heart-wrenching story was behind it.

Ximen Tsu sighed, "There are always many stories in you Mozhe, which make people excited. Such a life is life. Our life is now boring."

The middle-aged man did not make sense directly, but asked with a smile: "Is that so? Tell me, do you know what story about Mozhe?"

Speaking of this, many of them felt that their lives were empty and they were so idle, but they didn't know what to do. They envied the romantic and passionate children of the Mo family's stories and said with great knowledge: "Too many!"

"Mozi advised the King of Qi, Shengchuo rebelled against Yi and helped Xiang Ziniu. Qin Zi climbed Mount Tai and drank with Mozi and obtained the art of defending the city. He used strange techniques to kill the witch Zhu in the world. He made a sword of marshal Nie Zheng, and Gong Shang passed You Yue and killed Jiao. Hu Feizi, the five brave men in Linzi, said that Qu generals…"

Saying stories that sound quite romantic and passionate, Ximen Li felt itchy again when he heard it. He felt that such a life was life, and that it was meaningless to live now.

But after saying this, the middle-aged man with a broken finger laughed and said, "I yearn for these stories, and I think that such days are interesting, right?"

Ximen Tsu thought it was to persuade him to join the Mo family. He had already intended it, so he nodded quickly.

The middle-aged man laughed and said for a long time: "I have seen all the people after these stories. Let me tell you about it."
