Chapter 205: Puzzled (Part 1)
"Yurang said that the scholar died for his confidant, and the woman satisfies the one who pleased him. So he asked Zhao Xiangzi to take off his clothes, stab him with a sword three times before committing suicide."
Boyi, in the Mo family's military tent, was in a good mood, so he chatted with several staff officers and some guards, and accidentally told the story of Yu Rang assassinating Zhao Xiangzi.
Speaking of this, Shi smiled and said, "From this matter, some people's evaluation of our Mohist family that makes people's hearts different from ancient times and the world is unethical, and it may not be unreasonable."
Everyone around him knew Shi was joking, and Shi also asked a guard beside him with a smile: "Just like you. When you are a guard studying, what do you do if the person you guard surrenders to the enemy? Even if this person is with you day and night, it will be very good for you?"
The guard almost subconsciously replied: "We must distinguish between the big and the small. If the chief officer is sure to defect to the enemy, he will be killed immediately."
Shi laughed and said, "If you just say this, you will definitely be scolded and scolded by those people. You also want to say that we don't believe in people and have no friendship. You also want to think, you see, Shi is in the Mo family, and the guards around you cannot be appointed by themselves. The guards around you are not confidants, but I am afraid that the Mo family will not last long..."
Everyone laughed. The rules of the Mo family were so strange that the world was so tight that the guards around them were not confidants. It was enough to surprise the nobles, and it was even enough to infer that the Mo family would not be able to act like this for a long time.
Although the Mohist school of morality is a theory of "not fighting", it also advocates the courage of a gentleman, and there are many people in the market, and there are many legends of assassin at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. In addition, it has become some reasonable stories.
While there was nothing to do, he asked again: "If anyone of you is a guard, if someone defected to the enemy, gave up righteousness and took personal gain to the world, you will be killed, I am afraid that with the virtues of the world, it will be difficult for you to leave any good reputation."
"In the past, the elves stabbed Zhao Xuanzi and found that Zhao Xuanzi was worried about the people. He felt that he would not believe in killing and killing but not righteous, so he committed suicide and was praised. But I think, if it were you, you would definitely not feel that there was anything wrong if you didn't kill. If you kill the superiors who are guarding you but give up righteousness and take personal gains and harm the world, they will be killed for granted the truth."
This is true. From a certain perspective, the Mo family has indeed lacked some silent and warmth. Things like believing in the trust of the people around them are taboo and violate the rules. Therefore, when they really want to kill, they will never think about the dilemma of not believing in unfaithfulness, but will be refreshed and neat.
Shi still smiled, and through this story, he said to the people around him: "This is why we are considered the Tangwu Revolution, not just rebellion."
"In the age of change, it is unreasonable to use past morality to evaluate what is done in change. Because the new morality after the change may be different from the past. The good or bad of the paradise may be bad at this time."
"Since it is the Tang and Wu revolution, it is to change everything. If there is a sect of kings, princes, generals and ministers, then I will become a new king and prince, which is not considered a revolution."
"It is not only to create a paradise that can harm the world. The important thing is to break a pottery jar and then reconstitute it into shape with the broken soil, and calcin it into pottery. This is a very slow and long process, so we cannot be anxious, but we cannot relax those things such as war."
"This is the meaning of our distribution of land in Qi State. The nobles have the virtue of nobles, and those who are self-cultivated have the virtue of self-cultivated. The virtue of nobles is to not do cheap things; but the virtue of common peasants, industry and commerce is to rely on labor to enrich themselves."
"We must first make the common people, farmers, industry and commerce the lord of the world so that we can determine the new standards of virtue and good or bad. By then, everything we do will be in line with virtue, but now we can only be a waste of virtue in the world."
After talking about these things, an older Mohist sighed and said, "To count it, Nie Zheng's death is for the sake of justice in our Mohist family, saying that it is for Qin to no longer die. Gong Zaoye fought with him for so many years, but in the end he used his death to make Gong Zaoye win. The sadness is understandable."
Speaking of this matter, it was not a secret. Shi nodded and said, "He has great righteousness in his heart, but Qin Jun is also his confidant. Qin Jun, Shengchuo and others could have kept this matter hidden in the name of not being involved in the monarchy, but he still treated Nie Zheng's sister well, which made everyone in the world know that this can be regarded as a confidant."
The older Mozhe nodded and sighed: "Shengchuo has long rebelled against Mo. After all, he is still a person in the old world. I'm afraid that some of what he does will be difficult for you to understand."
He looked at Shi, hesitated for a moment and said, "Sometimes when you think about things, you rarely have the ideas you already have in the world, and some things you really can't understand."
"Treat Nie Zheng's sister, one is to repay Nie Zheng's death. But the key point is that if he does not treat his sister well, no one knows his reputation. Shengchuo and Qin Jun would rather let everyone in the world know that it was their move, and they should treat Nie Zheng's sister well, which is precisely because of the heart of a confidant. Nie Zheng has the righteousness, but he also seeks fame. Since he is a confidant, he will naturally do it without Nie Zheng's words. Shengchuo still has the style of being a hero in the market... If Qin Jun can do this, his demeanor is enough to convince Wu Qi. There are not many monarchs in the world who can use Wu Qi, but Qin Jun should be counted as one."
I understand the meaning of the Mozhe. His way of thinking is always completely different from what is already there in the world at this time. Just like when he did not learn to write, he taught characters to learn to recognize characters, the disciples he taught were mostly similar to him in terms of thinking, and many things were really difficult to understand.
Just as he was about to tell another story, a man rushed in and said anxiously: "Shishuai, something happened."
"Tian Qing was assassinated and said it was the move of our Mo family. The Qi army is mobilizing, and it seems to be moving, and is gathering towards Yingyi."
Everyone present immediately became busy from the leisure time just now, took the report and glanced at it, and said, "Let's have a meeting, call someone."
I put down the report and thought that I was just chatting about the assassin's death in ten steps, which was really not enough to talk about.
There is no need to assassinate Tian Qing, and he must be notified of such a big thing.
The Mo family did not like assassination very much, especially after the reorganization of Shangqiu, they felt that the fact of assassination was not very meaningful, unless the order for the punishment was issued, but the Mo family was organized closely. Even if the local Mo people acted spontaneously, they would have to be reported before the action. If there was no such organization, the Mo family would not be the Mo family that had been organized strictly since the Mozi era.
The report said that it was Tian Qing's close servant who shouted the slogan of killing the unrighteous person, which was even more unrealistic.
As for the moral standards of the Mohist school, it is also popular in Si Shang. The general righteousness outside Si Shang is still the so-called minor righteousness of the Mohist school.
I thought to myself that the nearby deceased soldiers around the nobles were not guards around the Mo family’s senior officials. They were all close friends and killed people at any time.
Later generations, Mengchangjun was ridiculed when he went to Zhao State because he was not tall. The taxi who followed him immediately got out of the car, chopped hundreds of people, and almost slaughtered half of the county town. The nobles in the world did not think that this was a mistake. On the contrary, they were extremely envious of their ability to support scholars. This was the standard for the good and bad of the world at this time.
After thinking about it, I asked about the details sent by the scouts, and the people gathered together.
"What does Tian Wu want to do?"
The six fingers that have just healed will naturally not call them Gongziwu or other names. They call them by their name directly, which is also a common doubt among many people present.
"The news came from there that Tian Wu was attending the funeral, but he said that he wanted to bring Qi people home or something. Judging from their mobilization, is it necessary to win the Yi?"
Liu Finger shook his head and said, "Winning Yi wouldn't be suicide? Liang's father is in the hands of our army. They won Yi, and they didn't know that our Mo family is good at guarding us."
"If you divide the troops, beware of our confrontation with us, can the remaining few people defeat Yingyi?"
"If we don't divide the troops, we can't defeat you. We will surround Liang's father. Isn't this still a loss?"
Everyone present was also confused, including Shi himself.
The strategy itself is to rely on land reform, and to constantly oppress Tian Qing while the world situation was ineffective in interfering.
If Tian Qing did not attack, he would continue to reform the land and strengthen his strength so that the Qi State could provide enough food and grass to support the military personnel logistics, and in the end, he would crush Tian Qing to death without any effort.
Tian Qing couldn't stand the initiative to attack, so he couldn't choose Yingyi. Yingyi was a dead place. It seemed that capturing Yingyi would change the situation in Qi, but the Linzi Army would completely collapse if it could not conquer the Linzi Army.
After thinking about it for a while, I had no idea, so I asked, "What if you do?"
Liuzhi thought for a while and said, "I am afraid that the attack on Win Yi is fake, and that I want to mobilize us. If I were Tian Wu, the way to break the deadlock that I could think of at this time was in Lu."
"First pretending to attack Win Yi, but in fact, the army went deep into Lu and attacked Qufu. Support the coup of Lu Gongzi and reached the Qilu alliance, so that he could continue to hold on and last longer."
Liu Finger considers the overall situation, but he is not a nobleman. Even though he has grown up over the years, he cannot think of the intrigues of the nobleman.
So, from the overall perspective, this idea is indeed the most likely.
The representative of the First Division also said: "I think so too. Our Yishi Division is divided into two now, and the public manufacturing side is insufficient, so the Qi army may still win."
