Chapter Thirty-Three What?
Two days later, Pengcheng.
I was woken up shortly after I fell asleep, and I couldn't help but get up.
But after I took the paper and read it, I immediately woke up.
"In two quarters of an hour, the seven enlightenment will all arrive."
The secretary knew what was on the paper and said slowly, and hurriedly put on his clothes.
In a room, expensive mermaid oil lamps burn brightly. This is the grease brought by the whaling industry that has developed in the coastal areas of Qi. As lubricating oil and lighting grease that were parallel to castor oil before the emergence of oil, it is now a must-have consumable for many textile workshops.
Soon, the rest of the people were all here.
Before coming, they had read the news and knew about the major events that happened in Shangqiu three days ago.
Things have been done, whether good or bad, whether right or wrong, that is not what we are going to discuss now.
Shi rubbed his nose and said with a tsk, "The emperor's father Yue Ling is also an idea--that is, he wants to force us to attack Song in order to seek anti-Mo in various countries."
A Qi Wuhai, who was in his forties, said, "Didn't the Giant say before that the nobles are herders and shepherd the city, and the people are just lambs. They can be regarded as three animals to sacrifice anything they want to do."
"He had no choice. We were like a flirtatious man who had fucked a virgin, abandoning the emperor's father's clan and supporting Dai's family, so he had to find someone else."
Several people smiled, and Shi also smiled and said, "But his good idea may not be useful. Now that Shangqiu is not in his hands, he is just a nobleman, no longer the Grand Osaka of the Inquiry Yuan."
"I see that this is done right, and I make a quick decision. No matter what, the initiative is in our hands. Is it a talk? It depends on us."
"But this matter needs to be investigated and studied again, and ask what was going on with the person involved at that time. But even if this matter is right, I think the praise needs to be more low-key."
In just one sentence, the disposal of the Mozhe in Shangqiu was determined, but the words could not be too full.
After years of internal struggles in Si Shang, the world faction suppressed the non-aggressive and founding faction of Si Shang, but the radicals or opportunists also rose greatly. After all, they used their power to suppress the non-aggressive and founding faction.
If this matter is highly praised, it may cause many consequences.
Shangqiu is different from other places. It was the place where the Mo family started. One Mo person might be able to capture one of the hundred people, and there are three left, at least sympathizers.
That is the place where the Mohist school has the most powerful force outside Si Shang, and it is also where the ruling power of the ruling class is the weakest.
The handling of Shangqiu's matter... In the opinion of the situation, although it was very unexpected, there was nothing wrong with it.
At least he seized the initiative, but praised with great fanfare may trigger speculation among the Messengers elsewhere, so that they directly riot in cities and towns everywhere without considering the actual situation.
If you succeed, you will make great achievements. If you fail at most, you will be excluded from the inside. This is not possible.
So he first stated that this matter must be investigated carefully before giving a conclusion.
Is it necessary to be in love?
Has it been voted internally?
Didn't I hear the wind before so I didn't have time to report?
Has it been weighed through the pros and cons?
All of these need to be investigated by the Supervision and Inspection Department and finally a conclusion is drawn.
Shi has always maintained a steady attitude, not for anything else, but because of the historical lessons given by the First Emperor in later generations.
Without enough cadres, insufficient public base and publicity, even if the world is unified, it is likely that the nobles will seize the opportunity to rebel.
Another strategy of starting Chu and then Central Plains has been decided, and the Song State and the Central Plains are not the most urgent matter.
He had a steady attitude, and among the seven enlightenment, there were both radical opportunistic attitudes, and some compromised and non-aggressive countries. He could only talk about this matter as a giant, and he had to go through investigation and give praise and a low-key attitude.
Everyone did not object to this attitude.
One person said: "Now Shangqiu is in the hands of Dai and us. What will we do next? Should we continue the riot and take advantage of the public's anger to get it in one step, first let the Dai family take power, and then expel Dai family? Or... or continue to allow the Dai family to take over the political power of the Song State?"
This kind of thing involves too many things. It seems to be a simple issue, but it actually involves possible internal struggles in the future.
If the riot continues and uses the power of the people to get in place in one step, the situation will be greatly disadvantageous in the future, and countries will jointly send troops, so that there will be a difficult situation in Sishang, then those who support the continued riot will be questioned.
At least one hat with a wrong route cannot be removed. The next time you choose Qi Wuxie, you will definitely be questioned and questioned.
If Dai's support for the Song Dynasty, if Dai's future stable situation kicks the Mo family away and becomes the anti-Mo vanguard, then those who support Dai's support for the Song Dynasty today will also be questioned.
There is always someone who takes the blame, but the organizational structure of the Mo family also has one advantage, that is, the giant can actually take the blame.
Because the blame is wrong, if everyone is wrong, then it is the error of the organizational model and organizational method, which will shake the foundation of the Mohist school, so it is best to bear it by one person.
This question was thrown to Shi. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think too much and said, "In my opinion, Dai's acquisition of Song is beneficial to the great cause of benefiting the world."
"First, Dai cannot control the situation in Shangqiu now. He needs our help."
"Secondly, it takes time to benefit the great cause of the world. It takes time for Dai to sort out the state government of Song State to gather power. Time is beneficial to us."
"Third, that is, the idea of the emperor's father Yue Ling. Since he wanted to use the power of Wei, Chu and Han to deal with us, we would also have to give Wei, Chu and Han countries a step."
"Although the incident in Shangqiu starts suddenly, it may not necessarily trigger a new round of war in the Central Plains."
He made a statement, but in addition to his statement, there must be enough analysis to convince the rest of the people and not to directly give a conclusion. This is also the internal rules of the Mohist school.
However, after analyzing such a thing, Qi Wulai, who was considered his direct line, followed up and said, "The Giant's idea is right."
"Whether or not the fight between Wei, Chu and Han countries is not due to the emperor's father Yue Ling, but to our attitude."
"If we quickly control the situation of Song State and give Wei, Chu and Han a step, they may not send troops. This step means that Song State will continue to remain neutral, not participate in disputes among countries, and will not allow various countries to station troops."
"Yuli, the State of Song is actually our forbidden body. Others cannot take it away. All we need is a buffer country, a buffer country that is close to us, at least not against us."
"The production, grain, silk, and trade of the State of Song are actually controlled by us. As for the population, as long as we allow the State of Song to re-dividate the land and break the patriarchal ritual system of feudal division, the population will naturally flow to us."
"Outside, Chu is in a critical period of change. South Korea has no interest in Song and is just thinking about annexing Zheng. Wei is panicking about us and Qin's east-west rivalry."
"As long as we make a sufficient attitude and make an attitude that maintains our interests in the State of Song at all costs, they must hesitate and consider the price they bear."
"At that time, with the neutrality of the Song Kingdom as a step, they can also take a step back and at least give the domestic nobles an explanation."
"We must be clear that the monarchs of various countries themselves may not have the will to fight. For example, King Chu, who now has no energy to launch such a war."
"But they must convince the nobles in the country, and there is at least one reasonable reason. In terms of Chu, Xiong suspected that the biggest enemy now is not us, but the vassal of Chu."
"We cannot just consider our difficulties, but put ourselves in the shoes of the bear's suspicion."
"If you fight, you must compromise with the nobles, and everything you have done for the reform will be in vain."
"If you don't fight, if you don't have a legitimate reason, the nobles will be afraid of forcing the palace."
"As for Qi Yue, if Wei Chu Han doesn't move, they dare not move. Their attitude depends on Wei Chu Han."
"In turn, Wei, Chu and Han's attitude depends on us. The faster the situation in Song State is calm, the less likely they will send troops."
"Therefore, the external situation is still within us."
"As long as we are united within, united in one's heart and one's morality, and make a general mobilization to trigger the Second Central Plains War, the three countries of Wei, Chu and Han will be weak, and even use appeasement to acquiesce to the current situation of the Song State, so that we will not fight against them."
The First Central Plains War refers to the melee five years ago involving Zhongshan, Chu, Wei, Qi, Si Shang, Han, Zhao and other countries.
I couldn't help but think of the saying that peace can survive by striving for peace, but there are many problems that need to be considered in this fashion.
Wei Chuhan's attitude cannot be based on his own judgment and guessing, but he cannot wait too passively for them to react first.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, the emperor's father Yue Ling made a mistake. He overestimated the importance of the rules and laws of the old era."
"In that coup twenty years ago, even if we don't participate, the Song State will be in chaos. We do not have the ability to create a chaos. We can only borrow such chaos when chaos comes."
"The three families divide Jin, the Tian family replaces Qi, the Qin State's reform, the Chu State's reform, and the Zheng State's three divisions, the Siziyang Rebellion, and the Song State's internal chaos... all these all illustrate one thing."
"That is the rule of the old era. The world under the patriarchal rule of etiquette can no longer exist and needs to be changed."
"Twenty years ago, our Mohist school talked about valuing virtuous people. Those who are noble are not always noble, and equality is chosen. Apart from the Confucian scholars who think we have no father, they agree with it in all countries."
"Why? Because before that, the scholars in the world had realized that relying on the old rules and rules and patriarchal system, they could no longer continue to rule, and the world would inevitably change."
"Therefore, hundreds of schools of thought contend, and people all over the world are disciples of various schools. Even if they are Yang Zhu, who is self-interested and self-interested, there are many disciples."
He paused and looked at the two people who had always thought that Wei, Chu and Han would inevitably send troops to intervene, saying: "If the old rules are really that important and the patriarchal franchise is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then our doctrines with Yang Zhu will not cause debate in the world, but will be laughed at as heretics and dismissed. No one believes them and will not cause any trouble."
"The rebellion of Jin, Qin, Qi, Chu, and Zheng made everyone in the world understand that the rules of the old era were wrong."
"But! New rules have not been established yet. Our rules are a possibility, and their rules are also a possibility. However, there is no new system of the world that makes people take it for granted. The whole world thinks it should be like this and cannot be changed. Including us, theirs."
"So, whether it is to choose the emperor or to be equal and love, the result is that some people oppose it, but the content of the objection is to carefully analyze the various possibilities, the chaos caused by equal and love... But except for Confucian scholars, no one directly said that this principle is difficult to tolerate, and no one else thinks that the rules of the old era are natural and unchangeable, and they just examine our morality and find loopholes in it."
"If... the world is like this now, when our doctrine is released, the people think it is ridiculous that the emperor cannot be chosen, and the scholars think that equality is simply contrary to human ethics, then it can be said that the whole world will oppose us."
"But it is not the case now, so people in the world have more of this attitude towards us: let's look at it, and look at the results. Even most low-ranking nobles, lost nobles and scholars who desire equality."
"This is the biggest difficulty for all countries to send troops. The soldiers are composed of people. Even the Marquis of Wei and King Chu, he needs soldiers, including soldiers and doctors on the soldiers."
"The scholars in the world will choose to faithfully execute the king's orders, but in their hearts they do not think that our sins are unforgivable and untolerated."
"As for the people who were at the bottom of the army, we did one thing in Qi State, that is, they captured the prisoners and put them back. The consequences of this matter seemed to be just a small profit at the time, but now, the King of Chu and Wei Hou must also consider one thing: what if their soldiers were captured by us and suffered another great defeat, and those prisoners were "bewitched" by us and returned to China, what should we do?"
He smiled and looked at everyone, and patrolled around and said, "The Emperor's Father Yue Ling felt that by raising the anti-Mo banner, he would be recognized by the world. However, he forgot one thing... The world, even the countries of Chu and Wei, are not one person, but a whole of millions of people, and everyone has different ideas."
"What is against Mo? What is against us? What is against us is our morality."
“What is our morality?”
"Prefer virtuousness, equality, love, stability in the world, prosperity in the people, no three troubles, no war."
"Then, he held high the banner of anti-Mo... that would be very interesting. He opposed the wise, that is, he wanted to block the upward path of scholars and down-and-out nobles; against equality, that is, to make those heroes with great ambitions inferior to others; against both love, that is, to hope that the people of the world will flow into blood; against the stability of the world, against the prosperity of the people, and against the lack of three troubles..."
"He thought he raised his arms and shouted for the world's response. I think this is a joke. Because most people may not know our profound morality, but they know that we oppose war and hope that the people will be rich. They have brought many new tools to the world to prevent the people from hungering and trapping. Moreover, the people like to divide the good and bad. Except for those places in Song that have developed and tasted the suffering of the new era, the rest still thinks we are... good people."
