Chapter 272 The Battle of the Two Sons (9)

The one who makes the decision can be big or small.

To put it in small terms, it is the command of the king.

In general, it is the rules of the world.

If the king dies in the country and the doctor dies in the crowd, there is no need to talk about it.

At this time, Qi Jiang's so-called "scholar system" system was a broad system, and a broad system that divided the feudal system into the same broad sense as rituals.

Under this broad sense of "system", the spirit of scholars is free in a sense.

For example, Wei Ji was taught a lesson by Tian Zifang when he was a child: The rich should not be arrogant, and the poor should be arrogant.

When the system remains unchanged, under the broad sense of "system", scholars belong to the world, and loyalty is also the system of the world.

Therefore, the land controlled by the king is only part of the world, so scholars can be very proud. If you don’t leave your master here, you will have your own place to leave your master.

As long as the system and rules of the world remain unchanged, if you, Wei, do not leave me arrogant than me, I will go to Han, Zhao, Qinqi with my knowledge and ability, which is also in line with the "system".

Therefore, if a king does not respect the virtuous and the poor, the scholars can vote with their feet.

Therefore, what Qi Jiang mentioned at this time does not mean that he should be loyal to the emperor and die from the superficial meaning of the monarch's orders, but that scholars should fight for the rules of the world, and the interests and freedoms of scholars.

He sublimated the significance of this war and told the scholars who could inspire that this was not a fight for the king, but a fight for the true righteousness and system, that is, a fight for themselves.

The general of Qi said again: "In the past, when Jin and Chu fought each other, the Jin people returned to Gongzi Gu Chen and Lian Yin Xianglao's body in Chu to seek knowledge and knowledge. The king said: 'How can I repay me if my son returns?' replied: 'I will not accept the grudges, and the king does not accept the grudges, and the king does not accept the grudges, and there is no grudge or virtue, and I do not know what to repay.' The king said: 'Although, I must tell Bugu.' replied: 'For the spirit of the king, I will be able to return the bones to Jin. The wicked king will kill him, and die and be immortal. If you follow the favor of the king and get rid of him, you will give him the heads of the ministers outside the king. If you ask for the wicked king and kill him, you will also die and be immortal. If you do not receive the order, you will be able to inherit the clan position and then go to work. The leader of the partial teacher to build a territory. Even if you meet a deacon, you will not dare to disobey. He tried his best to die without two hearts and fulfill his etiquette, so he will repay him.' The king said: 'Jin cannot compete with him.' He will return him with the courtesy."

"What is immortality?"

"Zhi Wuzi told us what immortality is, and how the world lasts forever. He also told the Mo family what the world is forever. King Wu has the root of the world with an inch of land, and the barbarians invaded and the strong summers."

"We should be immortals, what's wrong with death?"

The word immortality was the highest spiritual pursuit of the nobles at that time, and debates about what immortality were emerging one after another.

The immortality of the Mohist school believes is to make the world prosperous, go through fire and water, never die, so that the world's wealth will increase, the people's population will increase, and the people will be rich, so as to achieve both the unstriving and love.

And what the nobles think of immortality has another meaning.

The original idea of ​​immortality in the aristocratic concept or Fan Xuanzi's words is immortality in the mainstream three views of aristocraticism, that is, my ancestor was XX, and in the Yu Dynasty, he was a noble, and in the Xia Dynasty, he was still a noble, and after the Shang Dynasty, he changed to Shang King, and my family was still a noble, and after King Wu conquered Zhou, my family was still a noble, and my family was still a noble, and now my family is still a noble, and it has not fallen for three thousand years. This is immortal.

And the immortality in the words that Qi will inspire scholars at this time has another meaning.

When Zhiwuzi was captured by Chu State and exchanged prisoners, the King of Chu asked him how you would repay me if I let you go?

Zhiwuzi said that you were not the one who let me go on the initiative, but were exchanging prisoners. After I went back, if the king killed me, then I would die as a result of the defeated army, so I would die forever, because my death was for the rules, and the king killed me according to the rules, and my death itself maintained the rules and systems.

If the king does not kill me, but my father asks the king to take the responsibility for death, and then my father kills me in my ancestral temple, then I will be immortal. Because my death itself still maintains the rules.

If the king does not kill me, my father will not kill me, but let me continue to be a noble and inherit the status of the family, then my greatest reward for the King of Chu during my tenure is that when you lead troops to attack Jin, I will do my best to attack you. This is also a role model for a minister, maintaining the rules between the king and the minister, and this is also the greatest reward for you to release me.

No matter what, the rules are the greatest, and if you die for the rules, or if you don’t die for the rules, that is immortality.

In a sense, the same is true for the immortality of the Mohist school. It seems that the difference is that the "rules" they do are different, so the Mohist school avoids the meaning of "immortality".

This is one of the reasons why the Mohist school has always adhered to the principle of "political command".

Otherwise, a strange historical view will appear. After the concept of nations in later generations appears, it will be similar to the invaders being heroes, war criminals being heroes, and massacres being heroes, all kinds of things are just for their own masters.

This historical view is absolutely unacceptable to the Mohist school, so the immortality in the Mohist school must be considered immortal only if it contributes to the benefits of the people of the world and loves and benefits the people of the world and fails to die.

This is why the Mohist school acted as "reversing the world and re-establishing rules". It was necessary to break up some things that existed in the past, reshape the three views of the world, and even reshape the definitions of details such as heroes, immortality, etc.

The heroes under the Mohist three views may be bandits under the aristocratic three views, and who can only master the present can master the past. So this is a drastic change in the world, not as simple as changing dynasties.

Immortality is good.

But how can it be considered immortal? It is no longer the aristocratic style, but has new definitions and standards.

At this time, the agitation of General Qi was effective.

The soldiers died, and the ones who died were the ones that were beneficial to them, because these Qi nobles were not vagabonds who had no permanent property, but were sergeants with fiefs.

Once the Mohist family wins the world, the systems that are beneficial to these scholars will be destroyed, so scholars have the obligation and responsibility to die for the broad sense of system.

This is the material level.

On the spiritual level, if you die for the system of the world, then spiritually, those who die for it are immortal, and immortality is one of the highest spiritual pursuits of the nobles.

Whether it is a name that is kept in history, a achievements or a family continuation, it is actually a means of pursuing immortality under various interpretations of immortality in the so-called aristocratic spirit.

Death today is also a way to pursue immortality.

The nobles in the Qi army were thrilling their blood. When they heard this, they drew their swords. They took off their tops and exposed their right arms. They each took the purple turban of the true five virtues of Qi and tied them on their heads. They excitedly said: "Die will die, and they should be immortal!"

Fasting the right is a sign of punishment and a sign of resistance.

At this time, the right hand has a deeper extended meaning.

If you are exposed to the right, you will be punished.

Death is the greatest punishment.

To die with your right is an attitude of pursuing immortality by death: I am willing to bear the greatest punishment, that is, death, in exchange for the immortality of my spirit.

Coincidentally, this is a fusion with another meaning of the right that only appears later, forming the true meaning of the right under the cultural accumulation of two thousand years later.

When Zhou Bo in the Han Dynasty quelled the Lü family's rebellion, he once said that he supported the Lü family's right arm and the Liu family's left arm.

It coincides with the division between the left and right factions in the later era of the Europa Revolution: the right one supported the old forces, and the left one supported the new forces.

At this moment, the right has traveled through hundreds of thousands of years to achieve a kind of destiny that seems to be destined by heaven. The right person conservatively and reactionary support for the old forces.

This time, the charge of the nobles of Qi State, the right has since become a division of the three views of the world, extending it to the meaning of "left" as radical progress and "right" as conservative reactionary. This is to change the accumulation under history, so I will not mention it later.

At this time, more than 200 nobles from Qi State each held short swords and organized a truly fearless charge.

The nobles lined up in front of the formation and took the lead in charge. Behind them were the Qi army infantry gathered behind the hillside, followed closely behind, hoping to capture the hill at one time and use the hill to defend it.

On the hillside line, the Mohist infantry who had been loaded quietly held muskets and quietly watched the nobles who were densely packed under the hillside, with their right arms exposed, purple headscarfs tied on their heads, holding short swords and shouting slogans.

The officer on the hill thought to himself, this was a massacre.

Then he calmly ordered the soldiers.
