Chapter 41 Qin Chu is different

Having said that, it was equivalent to saying it too much.

This is like the state of Chu was about to push its own ancestral temple, and no king of Chu dared to do it.

Not only does it mean to be profitable, but it is said that this matter involves the meaning of the Mo family and Modi's reputation, which is equivalent to telling the envoy of the King of Chu: as long as all countries enter Song, Si will definitely send troops, and there is no room for maneuver.

There is no need to talk too much with the envoy of the King of Chu. He only needs the envoy of the King of Chu to convey an attitude to the King of Chu, because the envoy of the King of Chu could not make the decision, and this matter involved too much and could not be decided by a diplomatic envoy.

The envoy of the King of Chu himself could not express his opinions on the matter of the Song State first. Now that he has brought out the ancestor of the Mo family, the envoy of the King of Chu is even more unable to say it.

Now he could not express any attitude, so he could only say, "I can't decide this matter anymore, I must ask the king."

Shi asked the secretary to bring a letter and said, "This is my letter to your king. Please forward it. Please repeat my meaning seriously."

"In addition, I still say the same thing to talk about profit, and the Mohist school and the people."

"The wealth of the King of Chu is the sum of all the wealth of the people of Chu; the glory of the King of Chu is the sum of the glory of the people of Chu. The King of Chu is not Xiongyi, but a throne. This throne cannot spontaneously execute its will, so one person is Xiongyi."

"The profit of Chu is inside but not outside. Chu has a place of five thousand miles, a million people, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the vastness of Dongting. If you can make profits from it, why do you need to make profits outside?"

"The Mohist support is the reform within the country, because it can benefit the people. It can also be cultivated and developed in Cangwu and other places outside, and it can also make the people rich."

"The affairs of the State of Song are like bait, and there must be fish hooks on it. Not to mention that Si Shang and Chu went to war, Wei Han would have to benefit the fisherman. If Wei Chu and Han sent troops together, how could I be with Si Shang?"

"At that time, the people are resentful, and one man is in chaos and seven temples will be buried. What will your king have to see the ancestor Yuxiong?"

Chu is the same as Jingtou.

The name of Chu State did not originate from the title of the Zhou emperor, but was that Chu was first and then the feudal matter was to attack Zhou.

The wife of ancestor Yuxiong was dysfunctional. The wizard gave birth to a legitimate son by caesarean section. His wife died. The wizard used "Chu" to entangle her cut-out abdomen and buried her, which made her name become the name of Chu.

When Shi talked about Chu, the messenger also understood Shi's meaning.

Because Chu originated from the royal family, the people of Chu have nothing to do with Chu, and Chu is only related to the royal family. If someone raises trouble in the future, the land of Chu will not disappear, and the people on the land of Chu will not all die, but that is Chu, not Chu.

What he said was concealed was to let the King of Chu think clearly about the consequences. If there was a long war, would the State of Chu be able to bear it?

If you can't stand it, it would be fine before, but now people's wisdom is getting better. At that time, a riot among the Chinese people will be if Chu is still Chu, that is an unknown number.

This is a warning and a deterrent.

Although the envoy of the King of Chu could not express his opinion, he could not lose face in diplomatic occasions, so he snorted: "Mo Di traveled hard to do righteousness in the world and created the Mo family. If the battle lasted for a long time, the Si Shang might not have survived."

"The Mohist school said that it is beneficial to the people and the world, and after a long battle, the people will suffer. Do you have a good face to meet Mo Di?"

Shi laughed and said, "In the past, Mozi and I traveled to Sishui. He once said that the meaning of the Mo family lies in the will of heaven. Since it is beneficial to the people, the people should do it, and the people should do it even if they don't."

"If I don't do it because the people don't understand, I will not do it, but I will have no face to see Zi Mozi. The Mo family's utilitarianism, and you don't know. When defending the city, the person who put out the fire without authorization is guilty, will he kill or not? Zi Mozi had given the answer thirty years ago, kill!"

"The people on Si all have this heart, and tens of thousands of ink have this meaning."

"Do you hear that God will follow what the people want."

"The Mohist school is in line with the will of heaven. The will of heaven benefit the people, and the people seek great benefits. Therefore, what the people want is the benefit of the people. If the people want, God will follow it. How can it be defeated?"

When the King of Chu died, he laughed loudly and said, "In the past, Jie of Xia compared himself to the sun. When the sun was about to fall, what would happen?"

Shi also laughed and said, "That's because Jie Xia was wrong. People, only the people are the eternal sun. From the ancient sage kings, to Yuxia, Shang and Zhou, to the princes, and the emperors rotated, the people exist forever."

"The people are the most precious. If there is no people in the world, there will be no world. Therefore, the world is the whole people, and the people are the world. The world is the most precious, so the people are the most precious."

"The people's will be unrivaled."

"The king is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat or cover it. When the Chu State fights against the Song Dynasty, the people will have no profit, so won't they be resentful?"

The envoy was speechless because he knew that if he continued to argue, it was the unification of the Mo family's selfishness and the world. Si Shang could say that interfering in the Song State was for the benefit of the people and for the future benefits, but Chu State could not say that.

Because... it really doesn't make sense.

Having said this, there was no need to say anything more, and the envoy of the King of Chu stopped talking.

Shi said a few more words, and asked someone to take him away and make a ride immediately. The Mohist family will also send an envoy to return to Yingdu with him tomorrow.

Shortly after leaving, the envoys of the King of Chu saw another convoy, and it was the envoys of Qin who entered the heavily guarded area of ​​Pengcheng.

The envoy of the King of Chu sighed. He knew that this was deliberately made by the Mo family for the State of Chu, but this was a fact.

Qin's attitude is unclear. Even if it is really clear, Wei may not be willing to send troops with all his heart. This is a signal to the King of Chu: consider the attitudes of various countries and make a choice.

…………

The Qin envoys were previously blocked by the Emperor's clan in Danshui. Soon, two brigades of the Mo family sent troops to seize the important ferry of Danshui and quickly sent people to send Qin envoys to Si.

Due to the relationship between Shengchuo and the Mo family, Qin State could not send rebel Mo to Si Shang, but it was also familiar to Si Shang.

The relationship between Si Shang and Qin is neither good nor bad, because of the existence of Wei and Han, the ownership of Xihe and the division of Qinling in Nanzheng and Qinling, which makes the relationship between the two extremely subtle.

On the one hand, the Si Shang denounced Sheng Chuo's rebellion against Zi Mozi, and the Qin State's reform was actually the king rather than the people; on the other hand, both sides were flirting with each other, and after today, they sent envoys to protest tomorrow, and talked about trade, development of the West, military cooperation, agricultural technology cooperation, introduction of Western language talents, etc.

Anyway, the confrontation between Wei, Chu and Han did not suffer any substantial losses to both sides, and the Mo family did not engage in Qin, so it had little influence; Qin itself was strict with its reforms, so the people could not participate in various association activities like the Mo family in the Central Plains.

The words of meeting the Qin envoy were completely different from those of the Chu King envoy. They did not talk about the meaning at all. Instead, they directly asked about the achievements of the Qin reform in recent years, the development of the west, and the income of silk trade in the Western Regions every year, etc.

Both sides have no interest, and both pursue and have the strength to pursue a foreign policy of getting along with each other from far away. This is a natural geopolitical alliance.

Si Shang's attitude towards Qin, or to Qin, was to let Qin develop well, explore the Western Regions and Central Plains... the two sides have never formed an alliance.

When the Heze alliance was held, Qin used gunpowder to put Si Shang on the road, and Si Shang did not suffer any losses. They suppressed Wei together, but there was no clarification.

But in fact, the two sides have never had any formal alliance treaty, and everything comes from the respective interests of both sides.

For Qin, the Song Incident was very beneficial to Qin.
