Chapter 32: Merit and Sin

If you stop breaking, you will be in trouble.

The emperor's father Yue Ling was also a person who did great things. After measuring, he immediately ordered to flee Shangqiu and rush to his fiefdom to meet with his private soldiers.

If Shangqiu City can be controlled, its own private soldiers can suppress Shangqiu. If it is not in its own hands, it will lead to great difficulties.

Perhaps there are still many bottles and jars in the city, but they can be given up at this time.

…………

Inside the palace.

Several close servants around Dai Cong wiped the blood from the sword and piled up the bodies of soldiers loyal to the emperor's father's clan into one place.

Several ink men did not make a sound behind him. Dai Cong coughed lightly, and immediately a servant brought his clothes.

He changed his armor stained with blood, put on the gorgeous clothes of the nobles of the Xia Dynasty, straightened his clothes and jade, and walked alone to the closed inner door of the palace alone.

With the help of the Mo family, he had already controlled the situation near the palace. At this time, there was no need to go to see Duke Song with his blood-stained soldiers.

The door was opened soon.

Just as the moment he opened it, Dai Cong immediately covered his cheeks with tears. After entering the palace, he knelt down and cried: "Master! The emperor's family has the intention of usurping the government. I had no choice but to chase it. The war in the city is my fault!"

Song Gongzitian, who had just watched the tiptoe dance, immediately stood up to greet him, brewing his emotions and said, "What crimes are there? What crimes are there?"

"The emperor's family has always been in a state of chaos, ambitions, and insatiable. If you can expel him, this is your merit. How can you say it is a sin?"

"You have made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. Today, you can tell your ancestors about the ancestors during the sacrifice of the mulberry forest. The descendants of Dai Gong will save the Song Dynasty from danger. This is what the ancestors like, so how can you blame you?"

After repeated recurrence, Dai Cong stood up and said, "The national affairs cannot be ruled for a day. The emperor's family and his family have been secretly accused of the position of the Grand Principal of the Inquiry Yuan for a long time. All the people of the country have resented. Today he has fled and beg the emperor to put national affairs first and inform the people that they should elect the Grand Principal of the Inquiry Yuan."

"In the past, Mr. Ye, Gao, was in trouble with the rebellion of Mr. Bai of Chu, and was rewarded without giving me the title. He avoided suspicion and returned to the government and hid in Ye. Mr. Ye is a gentleman. I have always envious. After the work is over today, please allow me to return home."

Zitian quickly helped each other and said, "This is a bad thing!"

"After Bai Gong was defeated in the past, Ye Gong gathered the Grand Sima and the Order Yin together. However, only Chu had talent, Gongsun Ning and Gongsun Kuan, and all of them could be responsibilities."

"Besides, Mr. Bai was killed at that time, and the State of Chu had already settled, so he could live in seclusion and give way to the wise."

"Now the emperor's clan's sects are still there. Although Shangqiu is temporarily safe, there are still disasters. At this time, the people are uneasy. If you give up your throne, this is not to imitate the ancient sages, but to ignore the country of Song!"

Dai Cong seemed to have realized it suddenly and hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's not the words of the emperor, I will ruin the country!"

Zitian said again: "Besides, since the Chinese people participated in politics twenty years ago, the position of the Grand Tutor of the Zhengyuan was chosen by a gentleman, and it was not something I could decide."

"I am offering sacrifices to me, and I am asking for advice from the founding house. How can I resist the oath?"

Zitian is telling Dai Cong, please rest assured, I have absolutely no intention of seizing power and seizing power.

Leave the sacrifices to me; you will be responsible for political affairs.

Only the same thing is that in the past, the function of public land tax was to be used for sacrifices. You have to give this sacrifice money from the tax, and you cannot lose my cost.

Dai Cong didn't understand the meaning of this and sighed: "Since Duke Xiang, the dance in the mulberry forest has not been played for a long time, and the tripods passed down by Cheng Tang were also rarely sacrificed. This is really the responsibility of the descendants of the Shang Dynasty."

Dai Cong meant to tell Zitian, don’t worry, as long as you don’t care about politics, I’m going to find a way to allocate more money for you.

The reasons for using the mulberry forest dance and the cauldron sacrifice are also achieved.

The blood oath of Zitian back then was mainly because he had no strength to violate it. If he really wanted to monopolize the power, these nobles would kill themselves first. At that time, they would definitely mention the blood oath of that year.

In Zitian's opinion, the Dai family, the Emperor's Father clan, and the Ling, Le, and Xiaodu clans are all the same, without any difference.

Today's events are nothing more than Dai's win.

If the emperor's family won, they would definitely come to see each other with Dai's head today. Zitian felt that what he would say at that time might be similar to today.

Seeing Zitian say this, Dai Cong said again: "Now the emperor's family and his family have rebelled and fled, and beg the emperor to give him the order to punish him for rebellion."

Zitian hesitated slightly and then said, "The emperor's father's clan is also a branch of the public clan. The guilt and responsibilities need to be clear."

He doesn't want to take this responsibility.

If the emperor and his family come back in the future, they will be responsible for today's words.

Today, Dai won in Shangqiu. Now, but what about the future?

If he wants to make a decision, Dai must give him some confidence.

Dai was not unaware of what Zitian was thinking. Zitian also avoided this topic and asked again: "Are there many casualties today? They are all people of the Song Kingdom, and they can't bear the many casualties."

Dai Cong said: "There are not many. The emperor's family is unpopular, and the people will help eliminate rebellion. The people of Shangqiu have suffered from the emperor's family for a long time, and there are many people who turn against each other among the emperor's family's private soldiers."

This is telling Zitian that the situation in the city is completely under control. At least the city in Shangqiu did not object to this matter, but instead had many supporters.

In fact, if Si Shang was not on the side, it would be the same if anyone had changed, but the people always hoped that a ruling man would do better and live a better life. There were not many such expectations.

Zitian asked again: "Today's affairs are beneficial to the country, and those who have made great contributions can be rewarded. But I don't know whose children are the ones who defeated the private soldiers of the emperor's father's clan?"

Dai Cong hurriedly said: "Most of them are craftsmen and workers in Shangqiu workshops. Especially the workshops in the southwest of the city can be the first contribution, but most of them are righteous and do not make profits. Those who guard Shangqiu twenty years ago saved Shangqiu today."

Zitian nodded and thought to himself that it was indeed the Mohist family behind him.

Since Dai Cong said this, it is equivalent to telling Zitian that I have the support of the Mo family behind me. You can safely declare that the emperor's father's clan is rebellious. How can the emperor's clan compare with the Si Shangyi Master?

The Shangqiu coup was caused by the various nobles who wanted to find Chu and Wei to support it. However, the seemingly pro-Jin faction defeated the pro-Jin faction, but in fact, the Mo family organization that was neither pro-Jin nor pro-Jin, was divided into part of the power, and forced the pro-Jin faction to not get enough suppressive power.

Nowadays, the nations are in dispute, Zitian is no longer the young monarch who changed his era when his father died and believed that he had great talent and could defeat Chu and retreat to Jin.

He now understood that the geographical location and national strength of Song State were destined to survive, and that the only way to rely on the vassal was to rely on the vassal.

The path he looked on by his father, whom he looked down upon, seemed extremely wise now.

When Jin was strong, he was close to Jin, and when Chu was strong, he was close to Chu, which allowed the country of Song to preserve.

Ru Zheng, what is he like now?

Since the Dai clan has defected to Sishang and the Sishang Mo family is supporting him, this back is much stronger than those nobles who do not have foreign support.

If the local nobles of the Song State had no foreign backers, where could they be in power?

Zitian was quite satisfied with this answer. Not only was he satisfied that Dai had a backer, he could safely and boldly call the emperor's father's clan a rebel; more importantly, since the Mo family participated in this matter, he asked the Dai family to take power, it was clearly intended to continue to maintain the existence of Song State, and not to do anything like equality or electing princes in Song State. His position as Song Duke can be preserved.

If the Mo family did not participate, it was just Dai's actions, so I am afraid that Song Gong would be panicked at this time. At that time, Dai family could not only take Song, but also Mo family could directly swallow Song Xiaofei's gift.

However, Zita is not in a hurry to make a decision, he needs to wait for a Si Shang official attitude.

Now that things have come out, with Si Shang’s ability to convey information, and is so close to Si Shang, I believe there will be a result within ten days.

As long as the official statement from Si Shang is released, the attitude of the Mohist school can be confirmed.

Do you support Dai's?

Or do you support Dai's ban on the emperor's father and still maintain the existence of Duke Song?

At that time, the Mo family will inevitably send people to meet, one will come to see Duke Song as the envoy of the Mo family; the other will go to see Dai as the envoy of the head of the Si Shang government.

Only then can Zitian make the final decision.

As for what is happening outside now, he doesn't know much about what is happening outside. It's not enough to just listen to Dai's words.

Whether Dai Shi had a thigh or had the support of the people behind him, this was a storefront. What Zitian needed was the official attitude of the people behind Dai Shi, and Dai Shi's words were nothing in his ears.

Dai Cong himself seemed to have not had such awareness, not because he did not have such an enlightenment, but because this Mo family's temporary uprising did not receive the consent of Si Shang, or in other words, it was not allowed in time.

He hopes to confirm this before responding to Sisaka.

The fox pretends to be a tiger's power, and uses the power of Si Shang to induce Zitian to recognize himself and recognize his royal father's clan as a rebellion. Then, the Mo family will be more inclined to the status quo in supporting itself and maintaining the independence of the Song State.

Si Shang has not made a clear statement yet. Dai Cong wanted to pretend that Si Shang had supported him, and induce Zitian to admit himself and issue an order to kill the emperor's father; at the same time, he wanted to borrow Zitian's attitude to induce Si Shang to truly support himself and support himself, and achieve a fait accompli.

Zitian is not stupid, but his heart is like a mirror.

There are many Mo people in Shangqiu, but unless there are special envoys sent by Si Shang, the level is not enough. Moreover, with Si Shang's consistent organizational ability, Zitian understood that if Si Shang had made a clear statement this time, then the only one who came to see him now would definitely not be Dai Cong, but there would inevitably be Mo people coming together.

The Mohist rules destined that the Mohists in Shangqiu could not express their opinions alone and had to wait for the decision from Si Shang.

Similarly, even if the person who came from a unknown Mo Man or even a young man, as long as there was a written document from Si Shang or a public opinion directly said that the Mo Man really supported this matter, because the Mo family's rules were strict, public opinion and public statements were not casual, and even the highest level of Mo Man in Shangqiu area was not qualified.
