Chapter 81 Finding a way out

When the Mo family's envoy left, Mr. Song let out a sigh, and when only his confidants and children were left, Zitian glanced at the eldest son Pi Bing and asked, "What did you see?"

Bibing had no talent, and was not stupid. He was just an ordinary person, so he shook his head and didn't see anything.

But Gongzi Jiang said, "Can't my father see the intention of the Mo family's strategy? What will my father be in the future?"

"The Emperor's Father's clan is ambitious, and the Dai clan is also for the sake of great power. He thought that the Emperor's Father's clan would be driven away, but he didn't want to drive away a wolf, but a tiger came."

Gongzijiang is Zitian's smartest child. He is smart and studious. When he comes to his background, he is not the eldest son, but his talent is several times or even ten times stronger than Gongzi's military command.

This sentence hit the nail on the head, but Zitian didn't care. Instead, he continued to look at his son Pi Bing and said, "Pi Bing, please tell me."

The young master Pi Bing held it in for a long time and said, "My brother may be right. But what can I do?"

When Zitian heard the five indifferent and helpless answers "What can I do?", he laughed and walked out on his own.

Several confidants followed closely, and Zitian smiled and said, "I am still Duke Song now, so I still have the power to establish the prince, right?"

The confidant nodded, and Zitian said, "Father and son have passed by, brothers have joined hands, Zhou rituals and Yin customs meet in Song Dynasty. I think we will report to the world tomorrow and make the pirate soldiers the crown prince."

A close confidant said: "The king's words are extremely true. The foolish will be blessed, while the wise will suffer misfortune. Prince Jiang is too smart."

Zitian sighed and said, "Yes, I'm very smart. Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong place. He was not born in Handan, Yingdu, Anyi or Linzi. He was born in Shangqiu."

How could the confidant not know what Zitian meant, and said: "Why would you rather send Prince Jiang to Si as a magistrate? If you send him to Wei, Han and Chu, you will only be afraid that the prince's tribe will suffer in the future."

Zitian nodded and asked with a smile: "Do you think Wei, Han, Chuqi can't win in the end?"

The confidant sighed: "In the past, some people who lived in Heze saw the vastness of Heze and thought that the East China Sea was nothing more than that. Later, they traveled to the East China Sea and stood by the sea to realize that it was ridiculous."

"The State of Song is too close to Si Shang. I am like the one who stood by the sea and finally saw the sea. Isn't that the Lord has appointed the young master to be the crown prince?"

Zitian was silent for a long time and smiled self-deprecatingly: "More than 20 years ago, my father passed away, and I ascended the throne and changed the rule. I thought my father was cowardly, so I went to Chu first, and then I paid tribute everywhere. Today I saw the bribes tomorrow, and I felt ashamed."

"More than 20 years ago, I was in Shangqiu. Doctors fought for each other, but they fought for a Mohist family to take advantage of the situation. I took a full twenty years to succeed to the throne and finally figured out how ridiculous it was for me to laugh at my father back then."

He raised his head and looked at the palace walls, as if his eyes had penetrated the thick walls, saw the street market outside, and the bustling crowds in Shangqiu City.

Among these children, he did not like to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to rush to

Including now, he still doesn't like it.

The son he really likes is Gongzijiang, and that child has the shadow of his youth.

If it were twenty years ago, I would have made Gongzi Jiang the crown prince without thinking. Anyway, few people have long followed the etiquette and rules.

But now, he naturally chose the young master whom he disliked the most as the prince.

People will always grow.

It was like it took me twenty years to realize how ridiculous it was for me to laugh at my father.

It was like it took me twenty years to understand how ridiculous the idea of ​​dominating the world and rebuilding the Shang Dynasty when I was young.

He believed that with Gong Zijiang's talent, he would definitely grow, and perhaps he would grow up in less than twenty years.

Maybe fifteen years, maybe ten years, maybe seven or eight years.

However, what he was afraid of was that the world, or the Mo family would give Gong Zijiang even seven or eight years of growth?

People must live to grow.

If you die, you will be gone.

Dullness can be true or fake, or even like a mirror in the heart, but pretending to be like you don’t know anything on the surface.

However, being dull, having no ambition, having fun and forgetting one's ambitions, can survive, and it seems to be the only way to survive.

If that is the case, what is the difference between being really stupid, being fake, or being like a mirror in your heart, but pretending to be stupid on the surface that you don’t understand?

If Gongzijiang's growth ends up with no ambition, he must have no ambition, and he is not allowed to have ambition, then it is better to establish his son who has no ambitions directly.

Ambition is good.

But that requires being born in the palace of Linzi and Yingdu, Anyi, Handan.

Born in Shangqiu and in this world, the ambition that can be praised is the most useless thing.

It's a fatal character.

After a long time, Zitian withdrew his empty eyes and asked his close confidants around him: "What will happen to the Mohist so-called selection of wise men as emperors?"

My close confidant said: "I know about Teng Hou, Xue Hou, and Tan Hou."

Zitian laughed and said, "The Mo family called himself Mu Yu and inherited the ambition of Dayu. Yu Xia was established, and we destroyed him in Shang, and the Zhou people rose up and attacked me. Now, there is also the rise of the Mo family called Mu Chengyu's ambition, which is interesting."

"The Tian family of Qi State has looked for a further thing. Let's start with the dispute between Huangdi and Yandi, but what's the use? The two emperors of Yan and Huang are in front of Yu, but what's the use?"

"There is still a tripod made by Dayu in the Sanglin Society. I want to invite the Mo family to sacrifice to Yu. Unfortunately, the Mo family thinks that Tushan in Yue is Tushan, but they do not recognize Tushan in Song land as Tushan."

After hearing Zitian's words, his confidants were full of helplessness contained in the flattery.

There were three Ke in Zhou, and there were sacrifices in Xia, Yu and Shang, but when the king of a country only wanted to be the three Ke, how much helplessness and powerlessness was included in this?

The Sanglin Society tripod was left to Song, the Song Dynasty who was defeated by King Wu to attack Zhou. If the Mo family really invites the Mo family to sacrifice the tripod, the meaning of it is self-evident.

However, the confidant said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Mo family will not want San Ke. They all said that Shang Tang destroyed Xia and King Wu defeated Zhou to change the destiny. However, the word "revolution" does not mean this in the meaning of the Mo family."

"They don't need and don't want to change the destiny, because... the Mohist family is 'destined'."

"Your Majesty should have known the 'decision of life' between the Mohist family and Yang Zhuli Yuko and others. It lasted for ten years. The Mohist family firmly believed that there was no life in the world, and even if there was one, it could change life."

"They rely on force, the force of violence."

Zitian sighed: "Violence, yes, violence."

"In the past, Jiang Shang attacked Chaoge and was also a vicious person, and he was also violent. But after hearing about the destiny of heaven, King Wu was worried and trembling, and he did not sleep for three days, and soon he went to illness. Since then, God is not God, and destiny is not destiny. The Mo family is preparing to even not want the name of destiny."

The close confidant said: "Since the emperor has decided to make the prince a soldier the prince, why don't you think it will be longer? Teng Hou and Xue Hou are already equal to the common people, but are they really equal?"

"If today there are kings who are well-given and kings who are truly virtuous. If the king is concerned about the family, he should think further."

"You made the young master a soldier the prince, but you didn't think about continuing to be the king of the real title. Since that's the case, why not be the king of the simple title?"

A true king is a person who has a fiefdom and is exploited by relying on the land's labor rent.

The suifeng monarch is a person who has no fiefdom but has wealth and relies on industrial and commercial interest and profits.

These Zitian knew and understood what his confidant said, "Mr. Teng seems to be equal to the common people but is actually still unequal."

The people of Teng Hou and Xue Hou lost the name of Marquis, which was useless, and received money and shares. The family is still there, but there is still a lot of wealth.

Zitian has already begun to think of a way out for his family.

However, it is difficult to make such a decision after all.

After careful consideration, he asked, "Is it really impossible for Sanke to continue the sacrifice?"

The confidant asked, "Everyone loves the world, and they are all people in the world. The Mohist family's records of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were passed down to the world; the Fuxi and Nuwa's affairs were spread to the market. The emperor has not yet understood what the Mohist family wants to do?"

Zitian smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing more than finding some reasons for Mo Di's love."

The confidant nodded, then shook his head again, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if Fuxi and Nuwa are the ancestors of all the people of the Xia Dynasty, can everyone in the world sacrifice their sacrifices?"

Zitian did not speak, and his confidant said again: "The Mo family is in Si, so that the common people will choose their own surnames. Haven't the emperor understood one thing yet?"

"It's like the surname of Zi. If you sacrifice your name, you will be sacrificed by the king. This is the past."

"Now there is also a surname from Si Shang, but will they worship the ancestors of the Lord?"

"Since you can't tell the difference, wouldn't it be best to directly worship the oldest ancestors? If you sacrifice to Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong, Suiren... everyone can sacrifice to them, and they are all ancestors. Even if it is Shangqi, then you have to take the ancient emperor as your ancestor. Why would the Mo family keep Sanke for sacrifice at that time?"

The confidant looked at Zitian and said solemnly and deeply: "The Mo family must seek righteousness when doing things. So if a person does everything, we do not need to know the person's mind. We only need to know the righteousness he believes in, and we can know what he will do."

"Your Highness thinks that the Mo family really has a sense of respect for those surnames and ancestors?"

Zitian did not have a deep study of the Mohist scholar's knowledge, and he thought of a plan to continue flattery, that is, the tripod of the Sanglin Society.

So he said, "Although the Mo family is very burial, they value ghosts and gods. Moreover, I want to envy Dayu, this is unchangeable, right?"

The confidant said, "The ghosts and gods valued by the Mo family are more of rules than ghosts and gods. According to the real name of "Mo Bian", a thing can be called ghosts and gods or rules, and the essence will not be changed because of the change of the name."

"How could people who think they value ghosts and gods, and who truly value the 'ghosts and gods' that the people in the world do choose to be buried as their righteousness? Because the ghosts and gods that the people in the world think are the ghosts and gods, while the ghosts and gods that the Mo family thinks are actually just rules. Rules, they don't like them and don't need to be buried in a thick and famous tool, so of course they can be buried in a thin part."

"Your Majesty may not know how Mo Zhai explained the name and reality back then."

"When Mo Di said, for example, if you admire and love Dayu, you don't love Dayu himself, but love what Dayu did. Master, please carefully understand this sentence, and use the grammatical words set by the Mohist school and the Le Zheng Confucians. How dare you ask what the sentence of the emperor is saying?"

This involves simple grammar. Zitian received a good aristocratic education and could naturally extract this sentence.

After thinking for a while, Zitian suddenly said, "Respect for things, love for things, and admire them?"

This is a simple refinement, and the closest believer paused and said, "Ran. The Mohist school has always said that he admired Yu, loved Yu, and respected Yu. In fact, the debate in Modi's name and reality only omitted the most critical 'thing'."

"Does the name belong to the matter or the person?"

"Does ancestors belong to things or people?"

"Does surname belong to a matter or a person?"

"These are all questions that can be answered easily, so don't you understand? The Mo family cares about who is the descendant of Dayu and who is the descendant of Shang Tang? They won't care."

"There is no noble but no noble, and there is no humble. They recognize Dayu, but do not recognize Xia Qi. They take it for granted that Dayu won the world because Dayu's behavior benefited the world. And they believe that Xia Qi won the world, which ruined the rules of choosing wise men as emperors in ancient times. So if someone could do what Dayu did, even if Xia Qi was overthrown, the Mo family would praise him. Will they care about surnames and sacrifices?"
