Chapter 162: The Decree of Injustice (Part II)
He finished writing the letter, folded it, and handed it to the herald beside him.
Looking at the ruins, Shi Xin didn't think about the slaughter of Wucheng, but thought about the way to deal with the Linzi army after it was defeated.
Gong Zaoye's words, as well as his reply, this should be the consensus of the Mo family, and it is impossible for anyone to change it.
Gongzaoye's letter has already said that he has suggested that the issue of an "unjust order" be discussed.
From the perspective of personal feelings, from the moral code of life, appropriate support.
From the point of view of love and the righteousness of the day, it must also be supported.
Wucheng was slaughtered, and the matter must be attributed to the person who ordered it, and it must also be judged.
As for the result of the disposal, the righteousness of the Mo family decided that it would not "cut the grass and eradicate the roots", but it was more decisive than cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, that is, completely cutting off the material basis for this kind of thing.
From a utilitarian point of view, perhaps this matter can also be attributed to "small unbearable chaos and big conspiracy".
It is clear in his heart that the resolution of the matter of Wucheng Massacre will inevitably shake the world, because it will be the heirs, relatives, and real nobles of the king of a country who will be disposed of.
The monarch was killed, isn't it non-existent, Zhou Tianzi was still shot by someone, what about the monarch?
However, killing the sons of the princes with the "injustice" of the Mo family's condemnation may push the Mo family directly to the forefront.
What to do?
Shi rubbed the bridge of his nose under his eyes, pinched it hard to clear his mind a little, and called the herald soldier and said, "You go to Wucheng quickly, tell Gongzaoye, and say that I suggest that he be careful Tian Qing set up an ambush, and not pursue because of a momentary anger." ”
After the herald took the order, Shi sat on the earthen rampart again, took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to the center of the Mo family, which was the propaganda caliber of the massacre of Wucheng this time.
The hatred between Qi and Sishang cannot be instigated, and this is the most important thing to be resolved at present.
In addition to putting forward his own opinions for the unified voice of the Xuanyi Department, at the end of the letter, he also wrote down his extreme worries about the future situation.
"Today, there are two trends to be wary of."
"First, it is a Qin-style change."
"Sheng Xuan and others assisted Gongzi to enter the Qin reform, and the road they traveled was something we must be wary of."
"The theoretical basis of Qin's reforms is that land cultivation is the only means of increasing value, which is something we must criticize, and in this case, the fact that grain needs gas, fertilizer, and water and the total amount of things remains unchanged can already refute them, so we should take this opportunity to completely overturn this incorrect statement about the generation of wealth."
"The essence of the reform of the Qin State is to strengthen the centralization of power, and this strengthening is based on the talents of Shengqiu and others, the trust of Gongzilian, and the construction of Gongzilian's fiefdom in recent years."
"With Wu Qi's entry into Qin, the defeat of Yiqu, and our entry into Nanzheng, the changes in the Qin State will be extremely drastic, and the result is likely to lead to the complete subjugation of the old nobles of the Qin State, and the means of awarding military merits and receiving fields by Sheng Xuan and others will make the interests of the people of Qin and the expansion of Qin State consistent."
"Not only that, even if the old nobles of the Qin State are defeated, they may still hold the positions of officials, generals and other positions, and they will vigorously support the expansion of the Qin State."
"The Qin State valued agriculture over commerce, land was forbidden to be bought and sold and could only be granted, and the laws and regulations were strict, and the people had no way out except for meritorious service in the army."
"The Qin State also left such a way out for the people, which will make the people, old nobles, foreigners, and princes of the Qin State all keen to expand and fight."
"In the long run, the Qin people are the Qin people, the Wei people are the Wei people, and all beings in the world will be estranged."
After a pause, he wrote, "Second, there is another possibility besides the Qin State. ”
"For example, Qi Guo."
"The rule of the Tian family relies on the Tian family and many nobles, and Tian He does not have the strength to carry out radical changes."
"This kind of incomplete change may give rise to another possibility."
"There is a compromise between the nobility and the monarch, the monarch has military power and real power, but the nobles have their own fiefdoms and can maintain the status of a state within a state in their fiefs."
"All generals, doctors, and bureaucrats are all from the same clan. Although the monarch centralizes power, he does not have the ability to carry out a thorough change in the world of great contention, just like the Qin State invited Wu Qi to Qin, and an incomplete change is a compromise. ”
"When the time comes, the expansion of the Qi Kingdom will be the expansion of the nobility."
"The newly expanded land and population will become the fiefs of the nobles of the Qi State, and the fiefs will be dispersed to ensure that the monarch is the strongest."
"The monarch could approve of the nobility's rule in his fiefdom, taxation, the obligation of servitude to the peasants, and so on. But the nobility had to fulfill their military obligations and pay their military contributions. The monarch relied on gunpowder, iron and other weapons to organize an army belonging to the monarch. ”
"The Qi State does not have the danger of Luoshui, the door is wide open, and it cannot be as drastically changed internally as the Qin State, relying on the talents of Wu Qi and others to completely cut off the old nobles, so that the Qin Jun becomes the king of the Qin people."
"But the power in the hands of Tian He, and make it difficult for the nobles to resist, after the first battle of Nanjishui, if the Qi State changes, it will definitely form a new army, when the nobles can not resist the standing army of the peasants in the hands of the monarch, and the Qi Jun does not have the ability to completely give up the noble relatives and become the king of the Qi people, it will reach a balance Every time the expansion is expanded, more officials will be needed, and these officials will be selected from the children of the nobles. Only by laying more land can more nobles be divided, and the nobles can also get the most benefits. ”
Shi Shi stopped writing, carefully considered the vocabulary, and said, "It seems that there is a difference between the two, but in fact, the difference in essence is not big. ”
"Both of these possibilities are something we have to be wary of."
"There is only one way to solve the problem at the root, to redistribute the land, to abolish the fiefs of the nobility, and to revoke the right of the nobility to rule over the fiefs."
"The division of the land of the nobility disintegrates the basis of these two possible things, which determines that we must be prepared to live and die."
"Without the dismantling of the land system, this foundation will always exist and could be resurrected at any time."
"Dismantling this land system will mean that we will be irreconcilable enemies of the nobility of the world."
"The matter of Wucheng, if the giant son issued an unjust order, then these issues have to be considered in advance."
"With this prestige, we can meet the princes, just like the Kuiqiu Qihuan Alliance, if someone digs up the Yellow River embankment, the princes of the world can also determine a small part of our righteousness, at least to slaughter the city, burn the city, the world to discuss it, the world does not ask for it, my Mo family to ask for it."
"But in addition to the prestige, we have done some teeth and claws, and our bodies are exposed, and the princes and nobles of the world must also begin to nervous about the rest of our righteousness."
"A future war is inevitable."
"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and I think that the wheel is not a one-time exposure."
"For the sake of the future war, we must do a good job of propaganda and preparation now, and some things that we have to hide for the sake of the situation can no longer be hidden. Only in this way can the people know why they are fighting and how to completely put an end to the brutality of the world. ”
"The princes of the alliance are defined by Aoi Hill, which is a symptom."
"Dismantling the ritual and patriarchal law, opening up the fields and fields, and canceling the privileges of the nobility and the fiefs of the nobility are the root causes."
"Otherwise, today my Mo family is strong, the Wei people are suffering from the rebellion of Zhao Zhongshan, the Chu people are forced by Chen Cai's change, and the Qi people are trapped in the dispute over Fei Land, or they have to form an alliance to follow the righteousness of my Mo family not to slaughter the city."
"In the future, if my Mo family does not take the world, or the Marquis of Wei quells the chaos, the King of Chu changes, and the Marquis of Qi cultivates, no one will abide by the covenant. Just like the first and second battles. ”
"If you want to benefit the world, you must cure the root cause. This is solid, and the standard is autonomous. ”
"It has been more than 60 years since Zi Mozi founded the Mo family. Twenty years have passed since Shangqiu Juyi set the rules. ”
"I have been in charge of the Xuanyi Department for nearly 20 years, and I have always been cautious."
"From gathering righteousness and setting rules twenty years ago, to Pengcheng Gong's rebellion and killing hundreds of tribes in the month, the caliber of the Xuanyi Department is righteousness."
"From the Battle of Lushui to the Battle of Nanjishui the day before yesterday, the caliber of the Xuanyi Department is about the world."
"This statement about the world may have to be used until the alliance after this break."
"But after the alliance, the propaganda of the Xuanyi Department must change. It is no longer a matter of doing righteousness, no longer covenanting the world, but it is about becoming the righteousness of the world. ”
"About the world, at most, it will constrain the princes not to slaughter cities, not to kill, and not to raise unjust wars. These are palliatives. ”
"Only by the righteousness of the world can we achieve our goal is to change the rules of the world and dismantle the aristocratic fiefdoms, which are the basis for brutal injustice, so that the world can be ruled greatly. This is the root cause. ”
"The Xuanyi Department must understand the three stages of our Mohist Xuanyi, and quickly make adjustments to adapt to the new situation in the world."
"If not, if you don't make changes as soon as possible, sooner or later there will be a Sishang clan in the world, and when you stand side by side with the Qi, Chu, Qin, and Jin clans, how can you talk about love in the world?"
In the end, Shi said again, "I agree with the signing of the unjust order." ”
"However, before it is issued, it is necessary to solve all kinds of problems that may be faced in the future, and the whole Sishang needs to be prepared, and the Mo family needs to be synonymous and unified from the bottom up."
"I'm not saying that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, if this matter is not issued, then what is the difference between the Mo family and those princes who are competing for the importance of the world?"
"It's just that if it is issued because of a moment of indignation or indignation, the consequences are unpredictable."
"After this war, the Qi State can no longer perform in Si for five years. The Three Jin Dynasty fell out, and the Wei people could not go south for five years. Chu has changed newly, the nobles have rebelled, and they can no longer try to Huaibei for five years. ”
"This time, the issuance of the unjust decree can be said to be the sword of the world, and it can be said to the princes."
But for the people of the world and for the tens of thousands of ink people, it must be made clear that the disputes and brutalities in the world do not lie in whether the princes are brutal and unjust, but the root cause is that the nobles of the world have a system of expanding the feudal fields to the outside world. In order to solve the problem, it is not possible to rely on the sword of the world, but it is necessary to eradicate the soil for the existence of such disputes. ”
"Chop the grass and remove the roots, the soil is there, and the spring breeze will rise next year, and the grass seeds will grow again with the wind."
"If you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, you will scrape the soil away and water the molten iron, and the catkins and grass seeds will be like snow, how can they grow?"
