Chapter 34: Self-Knowledge
The tall man thought about these words carefully, and as a rebel against Mo, he still read many Mojia books over the years.
After all, there is still a foundation of Mozi, even if it is suitable to tamper with the original meaning of Mozi, but after all, it is not a new one, but a use of the topic to play, piercing and chiseling, careful study seems to be in the same vein as the meaning of Mozi, but there are many differences that cannot be seen.
The rules of the Mo family are strict, and he is not afraid that Wu Qi will defect to the Mo family.
Because Wu Qi is already old, and the Mo family is an organization with its own team foundation, if the Mo family is thirty years younger and has today's situation, I am afraid that Wu Qi has already traveled to Sishang alone, whether it is really beneficial to the heart of the world, he will also devote himself to the Mo family to seek great things.
The more he thought about Wu Qi's words, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, all the things the Mo family had done so far were to pinch the clay out of the clay pot, rather than simply changing the color of the clay.
It's just that they no longer have the opportunity to devote themselves to the great cause of changing the world from the source.
Sighing at the heroes of the world and lamenting the changes in the world, Wu Qi pointed to a few loose northern inkers in the distance who were always inadvertently showing their equestrian skills, and whispered: "I asked the man who rode a horse a few days ago, his name is mare's milk, and he is a Hu man. Such a person can die for the Mo family. You rebels haven't learned the essence of the Mo family after all. β
"Defending the city, arranging households, producing, and saving money are all Mohist techniques. You still can't learn how the Mo family let the Yue, Hu, Qi, and Chu people get together and fight to the death. β
The tall man smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you think that what the Mo family said about the equality of everyone under the Emperor is very reasonable?" Doesn't the public think that the hereditary lineage of the nobles and even the Son of Heaven is unreasonable? β
"However, if we seek wealth and fame, we must turn our backs on the will of truth."
"The Mohists said that if they are in line with the will of heaven, they will win in a hundred years. However, if we take a hundred years as a theory, everyone will die, is it difficult to achieve it without living? β
Wu nodded and smiled, and the tall man said: "Qin of public power, we are naturally happy." There are just two things that are not clear. β
Wu Qi made a gesture of please speak, and the tall man said: "First...... It is rumored that you are a ruthless person, so you can leave your family in Wei Di alone...... Are you truly heartless? β
This time he fled, Wu Qi did not bring his wife and children, and threw him directly to the Wei State. Anyway, with the notoriety of killing his wife and begging for a general, and carrying a greedy and lustful morality, it is not bad.
This was too lazy for Wu Qi to answer, but no one had ever asked so bluntly in person, Wu Qi raised a trace of interest and said, "Uncle acne this person...... There is self-knowledge, there is the wisdom of people, but they are just jealous and jealous, but they are not stupid. β
"With him, the talents of Wei have not been buried."
"However, it is not buried, it is excavated but not reused, and it is meaningless."
"I have credit for Wei, and my uncle knows that he forced me away, but he will love my family because he doesn't want to be notorious. This man is like a cat, he cherishes his fur and licks the slightest bit of muddy water. β
"However, I also have a knack for people, so I also know that Wei Zhen and Uncle Acne will not attack my family, so why should I worry?"
The tall man sighed, "There are no absolutes. β
Wu Qi laughed and said: "My wife is rich because of me, and my children have been free of food and clothing since they were born. I have obtained them for them. β
"They are rich because of me, so they will also bear the evil that is hidden behind them."
"There are often sons who fail to coup d'Γ©tat or are implicated and sigh: It is better to be a safe life. I haven't seen them sigh like this. β
"My son has reached the crown. Everyone in the world knows that his father is Wu Qi, who is my Dingxi River and the Great Liang! Although the family does not have much money left, they also have land and property. How much higher is that than the shoemaker's background? β
"When I was his age, I had already traveled to Weilu, killed thirty fellow villagers, and fled with guilt. If he was really ambitious, it would have been easier than I had been. If he has no ambition and is rich because of me, then I am miserable because of me. β
"You think I'm ruthless?"
The tall man was silent and did not answer, and said for a long time: "If you talk about Confucian fathers and sons, you are ruthless." But if it is utilitarian, it seems to make sense. β
Wu Qi looked up to the sky and laughed: "So, just like the hero we talked about just now...... To evaluate a person, there must be a rule to measure it. What the Mohists have to do is to comment on the characters of the world and measure them by the rules of the Mohists; What Confucianism has to do is also to judge the characters of the world by the rules of Zhongni. β
"I don't care if others will evaluate me in the future, whether I am benevolent and righteous, whether I am greedy and lustful."
"What I care about is...... Thousands of years later, even if people say that I am ruthless and unrighteous, they have to admit that the world has changed because of my Wu Qi, and everyone in the world who will enter the picture will be compared with me Wu Qi. Ruthless or not, does it matter? β
After Wu Qi finished speaking, he said: "The people who pinch the world's pottery are Confucianism, Mo, Lao Dan, Yang Zhu, and Liezi. Those who are qualified to color in the world are we. Since you have followed Mozi, let me ask you, is there a colorless pottery in the world? β
The tall man shook his head and said for a while, "But...... Isn't the reform of Qindi also an act of pinching the world? β
Wu Qi shook his head and said, "A tree without roots can't last long." What is the basis of your transforming righteousness? Might it justify itself? Do you have your own morality to carry out throughout? β
"The Mohists have done the art of straw paper, printing. He also changed the text so that he could learn from it. Without a moral doctrine, it can be feasible for a while, but not for a long time. If it is still a bamboo slip record, it may be possible to burn all the world's doctrines to fool the people, and it is no longer possible. β
"As you said, the Mohist family seeks to be a hero for thousands of years. But people will eventually die, and they can't stop living because they want to die. β
The tall man bowed and said, "Listen to the words of the public, and the mouth is suddenly opened." I had argued with Soluz before, but I hadn't thought it through. If you want to be famous, you can't think about creating your own rules to become famous. β
"Biyi's explanation, no one in the world can refute the Mo family, so the best way is to ...... Regardless of the question, let it hold the righteousness. Do you have to have my own unrighteous mind to achieve great things? β
Wu Qi clapped his hands and praised: "You finally understand." You and I both know that Qin Di's approach is not conducive to the world, because the Mo family's explanation of benefiting the world cannot be refuted. But if you know it's wrong, do you have to stop doing it? β
The tall man bowed down again, and asked: "The second thing is that the public has been guarding the West River for many years, and there are many people who hate the old nobles of the Qin people. Before I came, Katsuki said a lot of things that convinced me, but I didn't need to, I just sent someone to see you, and you agreed......"
Wu Qi looked at the tall man and knew that this person was really just confused, and he didn't have any doubts, so he said with a smile: "Most people in the world think that I can only govern the army and administration, but I don't know how to fight politics, this is a peculiar idea." If I don't understand, can I be famous in the world? β
"People all over the world may think that it was my uncle who squeezed me out. In fact, what is Uncle Acne? If Wenhou is here, who can exclude me? It's just that Wei Hou doesn't dare to use me. β
The tall man said in a deep voice: "Then what do you think of entering Qin?" β
This is the first time that the two have talked openly and honestly, after all, the tall person is not Shengqiu or Qin Jun, and he is actually not qualified to discuss this matter with Wu Qi.
Wu Qi asked: "The old nobles of the Qin people hate me, you all know, don't you know that Sheng Xuan and Qin Jun don't know?" β
The tall man thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's naturally known." β
Wu Qi asked again: "Since this is the case, you know it...... You also want to invite me into Qin. Even if you don't tell me, I can know that Qin Jun has now effectively subdued the old nobles. I'm going, but it's just an excuse for the old nobles, an excuse for rebellion, and Qin Jun uses this to use his sword and soldiers to take power. β
"This is the situation within the Qin State, and the talents of Sheng Xuan and you people are there. The Mo family's rejection of Surabaya was only a land of two counties, and now it has become a thousand-mile business. Qin Jun is justifiable, he has been reforming for seven years, and he can't stop the old nobles, so he dares to invite me to Qin. β
"Otherwise, if seven years ago, even if I entered Qin by myself, Qin Jun would not dare to agree. Am I right? β
The tall man was secretly shocked in his heart, but he said: "I'm afraid of being right, but I haven't thought about it so much." β
Wu Qi shook his head and chuckled, did not comment, and said, "This is a domestic matter of the Qin State. But any change must be like a cure, and the body must first be weakened before it can be recovered. β
"When the country is like a man, when the body is weak, it is the time when other countries are eyeing each other."
"The prince of Zhao will fight, Sishang is fertile with water and soil, and the Wei people have no intention of interfering with Qin, and only ask Qin not to send troops to Xihe when Zhao is in turmoil."
"The Mo family occupies Nanzheng, you talk to the Mo family, and exchange the iron smelting technique for Nanzheng Zhuyi to appease the people."
"There is a risk of the Baogu plank road, and the Shu people can't attack it."
"Qin and Chu have been married for many years, and they have many alliances to resist Jin, and they can't manage it."
"Now at this time, it is a rare opportunity for the Qin State to change. Once you miss it, if you want to change again, I am afraid that there will be something decided between the king of Chu and the prince! β
When Wu Qi said this, he was full of heroism, and laughed: "Qin Jun and Sheng Xuan invited me to Qin, which is already the ambition to break with the old nobles and change. If I don't go, won't I change? β
"So, if I don't go, they're sure they'll win."
"Now, now that I have joined the Qin Army, how many heads can I cut off those old nobles? The Qin people are old and expensive, how many can they fight? With 50,000 soldiers, I can only talk about the hatred of Xihe for 20 years, and when I smell my Wu Qi's name, I dare to seek Xi......he when I return to Anyi."
Wu Qi's face rippled with a look of pride that he was about to display his ambitions, and he smiled disdainfully: "I'm only afraid...... After I entered Qin, those old nobles heard of my reputation and didn't dare to make trouble. β
He said it so arrogantly, but the tall man worshipped and said: "The great talent of the public is admired below." The name of the public, the old nobles of Qin, no one knows. Wei lost the king, and the Wei country was in danger! β
"If the public is here, raise 100,000 troops in the West River, can Qin Guoyan change? If there is a change, internal and external collusion, Qin Lianluoshui and Weishui will also be lost! β
Wu Qi sighed, thinking that when Wenhou was still alive, his suggestion for Wei's strategy was to subdue Qin and then seek the Central Plains, so as to turn Wei, a place of four wars, into a corner, and take advantage of the technological changes of the Mo family to diligently repair internal affairs, and take advantage of the existing reforms of Wei to attract Qin peasants to make the Qin people unwilling to resist......
But now, what he was most worried about back then finally happened: the dispute between the Three Jin Dynasty was inevitable, Wei Zhen only cared about Xiaoli, interfered in the internal affairs of the Three Jin Dynasty, and sought the throne for the Tian family to surrender for the hypothetical name of the Tian family, stabilized the Qi State, and fought with the Chu State for a long time, so that the Mo family could gain a firm foothold in Si Shang, and once he sought Si Shang, he would face the Mo family......
Thinking of this, Wu Qi let out a bitter and helpless lament for the first time.
"Raise a hundred thousand teachers? Hahahaha...... Does he have that mind, and let me, an invincible and invincible man, be able to govern the government and the people, issue decrees, and raise 100,000 troops for the generals? The concubine can't conspire with him, and the foundation of the Wei State will be ruined here! β
"The troubled times have fallen, and the etiquette has collapsed. As soon as the doctrine that the Mo family is equal and the blood is unintentional comes out, the monarchs and ministers of the world ...... Hahaha, I'm afraid it's even harder to trust each other. Troubled times, troubled times, Mo Zhai Quanxia knows, I don't know if I would have thought that this would give birth to how many ambitious and lowly people with low blood will stand in the wind and waves? β
