Chapter 262: Taoism, Jurisprudence, and the Son of Heaven (4)

He was despised as a powerful man in the countryside.

Value determines meaning. The Zhou emperor now has no appeal and has lost the power of the divine power, and has no value to use.

For example, today the princes are trying to create the divine power that they can explain and control. Today, the Emperor of Zhou was brought out as a storehouse not because of the benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness of the princes, but because of the threat of the Mo family.

However, the princes' own theories are not perfect, and they are started in a hurry. Most of them can only explain the affairs of their own country, and they may not even be able to leave the capital, making it difficult to explain the world.

The five virtues system of Qi State was not perfect, and the monarchy system of the Three Jins had not yet been completed. At this time, the most inconspicuous Emperor Zhou became a person with some capital and private negotiations with Mojia.

At least, the Zhou emperor was still the theoretical master of the world and had a little divine nature.

The scholar also used this to hope that the Mohist family would give the Zhou emperor a way of survival, or a way to continue to maintain certain privileges as an idol of the theocracy.

Han, Wei, Qi and others had no capital for negotiation at all.

Shi naturally refused. He didn't care about the divine nature of the Zhou emperor, and the people in the world no longer cared about it.

When the scholar saw Shi insulting the emperor again, he took a deep breath to keep himself calm on his face and said, "Shizi's words are short-sighted. Only talking about violence and interests is not a long-term approach."

"In the seven hundred years of the Shang Dynasty, Zhou obtained the destiny of heaven. The Mohist school said that it was not destiny, and also said that strength could defeat destiny. In fact, he did not know what destiny was."

"The destiny of heaven is not the destiny of the Emperor of Heaven that fools the people, but has another meaning."

"Only by knowing the destiny of heaven can shepherd the people. Although Si Shang has been well-managed and prosperous in recent years, it is only a land of one state. In the world, nine states are used together, and nine states may not be used together."

"If there are disputes today and the princes arose together, there are Qi people, Chu people, Wei people, Han people, Zhao people, etc. Since the Mo family said that they should have a synonym, and the world will be united, and there are only people in the world. So how can we make the world sure that they are people in the world?"

"For example, the reason why the Qi people are Qi people is because the Qi people know that there is a Qi Duke. If the people in the world know that they are the people in the world, they need to find a king that everyone in the world recognizes."

"If the Emperor of Zhou is retained, then all the people in the world will be Zhou."

"But if the Emperor Zhou is not retained, but the wise man is chosen as the Emperor, then today Jia is the Emperor, then the world is the A person, tomorrow Yi is the Emperor, and the world is the Yi person, and then the next day B is the Emperor, then the world is the B person, which is not conducive to the unity of the world."

Shi asked back, "Does there be a hereditary emperor in the world so that all the people in the nine provinces can find the belongings of the people in the world?"

"You call the emperor, the person who cultivates the heavenly title, is the moral example of the world; but we call the emperor, this is not the case."

The scholar shook his head and said, "You think very well, but you don't know the destiny. Just like the Zhou rituals, clothes and hats. In the past, Zhongni once said that if you are slightly Guan Zhong, I will be covered with my hair and left lapel."

"Isn't it because of Zhou Li's clothes? The barbarians have Hu clothes, tattoos, and hair, because they don't recognize the emperor."

"Just like Qilu, they were originally Dongyi. After the feudal period, Qilu realized that they were courtesy of the Dharma. Isn't this the emperor's credit?"

"If the merchants from Handan are thousands of miles below and are connected to each other in the north and south, the merchants from Handan will not go to Yingdu like barbarians, and the merchants from Linzi will not be unable to speak in language when they go to Luoyi. This is the fundamental reason why the world can truly be united."

Shi smiled and said, "The feudal system is divided into the feudal system, which is the merits of Duke Zhou and even the princes of the past. What does it have to do with Ji Xi? If you think that the merits of your ancestors are reasonable for the descendants of your descendants, then can it be said that the aristocrats originally occupied the land? We are not going to become new hereditary kings, princes, generals, and ministers, because we think that the system of the clan nobles is unreasonable. Which ancestor in the world has not made great contributions to the conquest of the world? If the emperor can give more merits, why can't the nobles do it? If we continue, why can't these people in the Mo family do it? Then what is the difference between us and you in the world?"

The scholar said: "There is no difference between private ownership and family and the world. Property can be owned by private ownership, inherited and passed on to future generations. Why is the fiefdom not possible?"

Shi skillfully used the bourgeoisie's speech on the street lamp of feudal aristocrats: "Because property is reasonable labor income based on the creation of wealth by labor, it can be passed on to future generations. The fief is because the land belongs to the world, and it is the so-called emperor steals the land of the people and returns it to himself. This is like something stolen, which cannot be inherited and must be returned to the original owner."

The scholar did not argue about this, but asked: "What about the destiny? Destiny was not stolen or stolen, but it can also be inherited."

"Now the destiny of heaven is in the hands of the Zhou royal family. This destiny was passed down from Yao and Shun, and Shun was passed down to Yu, Yu was passed down to Qi, and Qi was passed down to Xia Jie and Shang Tang to take it. Later, Shang Tang took it to King Wu defeated Zhou and took it, and now it was passed down to the hands of the present emperor."

"Shang destroyed Xia, and had a fief of Xia, which was the successor of the destiny of heaven. When Shang destroyed Zhou, there were three Ke, and the Yin people established Song."

"Now the Mo family is not allowed to have a fiefdom, so isn't this like a robber?"

"This robber saw the fate of the Zhou royal family, snatched them and took them for himself, and then asked the original owner of the fate to work and reform. Will the Mo family do this for a long time?"

"This is the act of the barbarians."

Many Mo people present burst into laughter, and Shi also laughed: "Is Yao Shun's father? Is Shun Yu's father? Who told you that destiny must be inherited by blood?"

"If destiny is the possession of the world by one family, then it would be better if destiny is not needed."

The scholar sarcastically said, "If the Mo family does not believe in destiny and does not, then why should there be a emperor? Since there is still a emperor, then we must recognize the existence of destiny and recognize the rules of inheriting destiny."

He said: "This emperor is not that emperor."

"If my brother is called a mugwoman, there are also animals in the mountains and wild sieges, and they are all called mugwoman. Is this the same thing?"

"Like the representatives of the public opinion of Si Shang, they are mostly called Hou, Bo, Zi, and Nan. Is this the same as Hou Bozi Nan under the feudal system?"

"Your emperor is a so-called man with destiny. We do not admit that he has a destiny. The Mo family is not a destiny. Therefore, the emperor we call him is not a so-called man with destiny."

"What I call the Emperor is equal, the Mo family has the meaning of equality. Everyone is the son of heaven and the daughter of heaven. The emperor elected is just the first national."

"After all, the world has no hands, feet, mouth, and head. There needs to be someone who represents the world, symbolizing the unity of the world."

"If a country sends an envoy to the extreme west, someone will always meet him on behalf of the Jiuzhou world. The envoys want to deal with everyone in Jiuzhou, but it is impossible for everyone to come forward to meet him. This requires one person to be selected to carry the will of everyone and implement it."

"The people of the nine provinces are all children of heaven, and everyone is equal. The elected emperor is just the representative of the millions of emperors in the nine provinces."

"So, what's the use of the destiny of the family? Your destiny was robbed by robbers, which was illegal; our emperor is the representative of the synonym of the world, and it was nothing more than borrowing names."

"Besides, using this name is to declare to the world that everyone is equal, no noble and no noble and no humble. If the world returns to unite in the future, I will be elected as the emperor, and I will be declared to the world. I am the son of the shoemaker and also as the emperor. As long as there are wise men, anyone can be the emperor."

"With this name, like the hundreds of marquises and viscounts on Si, it is all for the purpose of making the people of the world feel that everything that was once unattainable is now common."

The Mohist school’s so-called choice of emperor was actually the head of government.

Although the head of government and head of state overlap in some cases, the focus is different.

The focus of the Mohist school's selection of emperors is on the head of government, while the focus of the emperor under the old concept of emperors is on the head of state.

The concept of the emperor is constantly changing.

The Gods worshipped during the Shang Dynasty were all the previous kings of the Shang Dynasty, so the Emperor of Shang was that I regarded my ancestors as God, so I was the Emperor.

When it was Zhou, the ancient lineage was linked. The above ancient lineage was the branch closest to the blood relationship of the Emperor of Heaven. The Zhou people were also the orthodox ancient line of blood, so they could be called the Emperor.

The emperor at this time was the so-called "Cultivation of Heavenly Ears".

However, after the Qin Dynasty destroyed Zhou, Qin in the Han Dynasty, and Ji Han’s revival failed, the meaning of the divine power was much worse, so the emperor became the "the eldest son of heaven."

The legitimacy of the "Son of Heaven" at this time originated from the feudal legal system of patriarchal blood. Under the inheritance system of the eldest son, as the eldest son of heaven, he naturally ruled the rest of the world.

Nowadays, the three major meanings of the Mohist school are synonymous, equality and love, so it is absolutely impossible to recognize the patriarchal system. The inheritance right system is also an equal inheritance system rather than a eldest son's inheritance system, so it is impossible to use the concept of "the eldest son of heaven" as the meaning of the emperor.

The Mo family is not destined, so they cannot use destiny.

The Mohist family has a lot of lowly people, so it is impossible to use ancient lineages.

Therefore, the meaning of the so-called emperor of the Mohist school can only be "the son of heaven". The emperor selected is actually the first citizen who is a marker.

As for some things that the scholar was worried about, he felt that the other party could not understand the concept of patriotism in future generations at all.

Scholars think that there must be an orthodox emperor so that they can ensure that the people in the world know that they are in the world.

But in fact, people from later generations will stand when they hear the national anthem, and when they see the flag raising, they will feel distressed when they hear the disasters in their own country thousands of miles away...

A country does not necessarily need a virtual king. As the representative of the entire country, it can be completely replaced by a community of consciousness.

Since this is how I think, Shi really has nothing to talk to with the other party.

The conditions given by the other party have no right place to impress, and there is even no value to utilize.

Emperor Zhou now wanted to be a cousin who could be anyone, and begged the Mo family to join him so that he could spend some money. However, the Mo family made a utensil that could be solved by itself, so that Emperor Zhou was not even qualified to be a cousin.

The Mohist family used Taoism and heavenly aspirations to usurp the divine power system in a sense; used nature to give the legal principles of seizing power and land reform; used the concept of equality of all people in the world as the son of the Emperor of Heaven and the concept of the emperor as the first citizen, which distorted the meaning of the emperor.
