Chapter 404: The Ruthless Years of Heaven and Earth (5)

Wu Qi thought for a while, and finally asked, "Qin Chu, what's the difference?" ”

Sheng Xuan asked rhetorically: "I see that above your case, there is the Mo family's nine-number geometry. Haven't you read the theory of contradiction analysis? ”

Wu Qi showed a look of admiration and said, "I have read it, it is very beneficial." ”

Katsuki smiled, "Then you can understand what I said." ”

"If you want to change, whose interests do you want to move? Feudal monarchs, Shiqing, princes, and old nobles. ”

"If you want to change, you need the monarch to think that you need to change, so you must think about change when the country is weak."

"As long as the monarch changes, then he must have a conflict with the feudal monarch Shiqing, and all he can rely on is the wandering talents who are not Shiqing."

"You took away the West River from the Qin State, so that the Qin people did not dare to go east; You killed the four feudal kings and one important minister of Chu in Daliang, so that the Chu people wailed all over the field. ”

"Then, aren't people like you exactly the virtuous talents that Chu Jun and Qin Jun need the most?"

"On the one hand, you have the talent to complete the change and strengthen the power of the king."

"On the other hand, you have a grudge against the old noble enemy, if you dare to seek the country and usurp it without the support of the king, then the old noble Shiqing will definitely kill you."

"Therefore, the king can use you as a sword to reform the old system, change customs, and whip the old nobles. You can also rest assured that you are the prime minister, because your foundation is too shallow, and you have offended too many old nobles, and you have no ability to seek the country and usurp it. ”

"Therefore, if you want to be a phase, it must be Qin and Chu."

Wu Qi picked up the wine cup, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "More than ten years ago, you rebelled. But your method of analysis and reasoning for the world is still the same as that of the Mo family. ”

Sheng Xuan pointed to the sword that Wu Qi was lying across his knees, and said with an indifferent smile: "This method of analysis and reasoning is a sword. The sword can save the world, but it can also kill. The key lies in righteousness, and righteousness is the one who wields the sword. Giant...... No, Mo Zhai once said, righteousness, benefit. My righteousness, my profit, is different from the Sishang Mojia. ”

Wu Qi asked again: "Then what is the difference between you and the current Mo family?" ”

Sheng Xuan raised his head and laughed: "The Sishang Mo family, what we want to do is to overthrow everything that is old. Rules, systems, and even the world...... They believe that reason can reason to deduce a system that is most suitable for the world, where all people are equal and people are rich......"

Every sentence is praising the Mohists, but every sentence is full of disdain.

In the end, Shengxuan's voice suddenly raised, and he said loudly: "But I...... There is no opposition to the old system and the old rules at all. ”

"What I object to is that the old system and the old rules excluded me and did not make me a human being."

"Troubled times will rise, the world will be shaken, the big husband was born in this troubled times, and he should seek wealth and fame."

"Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind? Under the Emperor of Heaven, everyone is equal. This is the era when I borrowed the upper position, but I only seek the upper position, but not under the emperor, everyone is equal. What I ask for is a prince and a general, would you rather have a kind? Why don't I have a place for it? ”

"On the art of the battle array, I am not as good as you, and I may not be as good as those people from the Mo family in Sishang. Compared to those who were born with the blood of Guiqing, how am I inferior? ”

"In terms of the art of governing the country, I am not as good as you, and I am definitely not as good as those people in the Mo family in Sishang. Compared to those who were born with the blood of Guiqing, how am I inferior? ”

"I'm so good, why can't I be rich and famous? Mr. taught me to benefit the world, I don't want to benefit the world, I want to benefit myself, what's wrong with me? ”

His face was slightly red, and his voice was extremely high-pitched, if he said these words in the Mo family more than ten years ago, or even the current Mo family, he would definitely be laughed to death.

The confession was much lighter than what he said, and there were still many people who went to Mo Zhai to complain, saying that the confession had no ideals at all, let alone Shengqiu's words at this time.

However, Wu Qi on the other side did not laugh, let alone object, and after Sheng Xuan calmed down, Wu Qi asked: "So, don't mention this, do you think the rational principles of the Mo family can be realized?" ”

Speaking of this, Shengxuan's face showed a yearning and nostalgic look, and he sighed and said: "The old man is a scholar of heaven and man, and he knows the will of heaven, and he has the help of a character like Yan Zhishi. Reason...... I believe it. ”

But what about believing? If you want to achieve it, let alone a hundred years, it will be hundreds in the long run. I was dead by then. ”

"I just want to be vigorous before I die. After I die, what will happen to my children and grandchildren, and what will I care about? If some of the descendants of King Wen have been reduced to servants, how much more will I be servants? ”

"Besides, I have followed the old man since I was a child, and I know that after death is just an empty space, the funeral festival is separated by death and life, and there is nothing after death, where do I care about the sacrifice of descendants?"

"But my husband was born in troubled times, and the old rules are about to collapse, in such troubled times, why don't I ride the wind and make a fortune? was vigorous before his death, and the world shook after his death, this is the life of a husband. ”

"As for the wish of benefiting the world, it is those people of the Mo family, I have betrayed Mo, what does it have to do with me?"

"They are all right, and I believe them."

On his face, there was a kind of blandness that had seen through the vicissitudes of life and counted thousands of years, but in this blandness there was a scorching flame.

"Since it will be achieved, then I am just the wave of the times, I believe."

"But even so, my wave must be shocking enough and rippling enough!"

This is an era of arrogance, the sons of the hundred schools are arrogant, and their disciples, even if they are betrayed disciples, are so arrogant that they don't care about "city" and "forbearance" at all.

The heroic words were manic and intense, but they aroused the heroic spirit and mania in Wu Qi's heart. The distrust and exclusion suffered in the past three years, with the help of the Mo family's spirits and the arrogance of the disciples who rebelled against Mo, were stimulated for a while.

Sheng Xuan suddenly got up, slapped the case, and asked loudly: "Wu Qi, I have thought about it for a long time, but I haven't thought clearly, what is the 'benefit' in your eyes?" What do you want? ”

"Everyone in the world says that you are greedy and lustful, but you are rarely close to women, but they all say that you are incorruptible and self-reliant. All rewards are given to the soldiers. ”

"Your mother is mourning but not running, and your wife is resting. You don't love your family. ”

"You can suck abscesses for soldiers, and you can share weal and sorrow with soldiers. You don't want to be finely dressed. ”

"You are already in the position of the king, and you are famous all over the world in the first battle."

"Then you ...... in this life? What exactly are you looking for? ”

Wu Qi muttered, "What am I asking for?" ”

He put down the wine cup, thought of the incident of Yicheng thirty years ago, and also thought of the matter of Lu State twenty years ago, thought for a long time, looked at Shengqiu and said: "Twenty years ago, I was a general in Lu State. At that time, you were Xiang Ziniu's number one retainer, and the handsome army invaded Lu, do you remember? ”

Sheng Xuan naturally remembered, and Wu Qi said again: "Then you should also remember, how did that matter be solved?" ”

Speaking of this, Sheng Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "The eldest grandson sued the giant son, saying that I forgot my righteousness for the sake of profit. The giant came forward to lobby the princes, and took advantage of the power of Chu to attack the Song Dynasty and summoned his disciples to garrison the Lu State. When the giant saw Qi Hou and Xiang Ziniu in person, he persuaded him to withdraw from the army and dismissed me. ”

Wu Qi sighed: "That's your memory." As far as I am concerned, it is Mo Zhai's words in Qufu. When he saw Lu Hou, Lu Hou asked him how to defend? ”

"He said how to defend and then said something at the end."

"Let every man have his own strengths, and the world should do everything; Jun his duties, the world has everything; All of them like it, and the world is prepared; There are many strengths and weaknesses, and everything in the world is in charge. ”

Wu Qi looked at Sheng Xuan, thought of the words twenty years ago, and asked: "Let everyone have their own strengths, and the world should be in charge; Jun his duties, the world has everything; They all like it, and the world is ready for ......"

"I have the talent to govern the country, I have the talent to change, I have the ability to face the enemy. I like to govern the country, I like to govern, I like to be in charge of the army. ”

Mo Zhai said, everything he likes, the world is ready! What I love is what my talent can do. ”

"I hope that I will be the prime minister, restore the country and strengthen the army, dominate the world, and make the world one."

"As to why it is one, that's not for me to consider. I just need to think about how I can make a name for myself in this troubled world and never forget it. ”

"The well frog should not speak to the sea; Summer insects are not allowed to speak to the ice. So, I don't care what the world thinks of me, because they don't know what I want. ”

"There are carpenters, jadesmiths, and stonemasons...... If these people want to reach the top, they must like it, not just to make a living. ”

"So, isn't this also a profession? And this profession happens to be what I like, what I like, what I am good at, and what I want to achieve. ”

"I love the profession, that's all. As many people can't understand, Bole is famous all over the world, why he should live in a stable and be with his horses. Actually, the reason is very simple, because he likes it. Just as many people don't understand, why did Bian He have to say that the jade of Jingshan is in the stone after he broke his leg? In fact, the reason is very simple, he loves jade, but he loves jade, not the ten thousand dollars and hundreds of gold that this jade can be exchanged for. ”

He looked at Katsuki and laughed, "I'm not like you. ”

"What you think about is wealth and fame, and the heroes of troubled times. Everything you do, it's for that purpose. ”

"All I want is to do what I want to do and do it to the best of my ability. Then things such as wealth and fame and heroes in troubled times will naturally befall me, but what I pursue itself is not these, these are just incidental. ”

"You're not as good as me. Because for me, wealth and fame are nothing more than inadvertently imposed on me in the career I pursue. So, don't think I'm the same as you, we're not the same. ”

Suddenly, he raised his glass and said, "I'm not as good as you, but I can understand." It's just that...... Now, do you think about what your future holds? The man said, between the heaven and the earth of life, if the white horse passes through the gap, it will be sudden. ”

"May the public think about it early."

Wu Qi raised his glass accordingly, thinking in his heart...... Where do we go after that?

…………

In the far west, in the city of Babylon, there was also a man who was thinking about this question.

Where do we go after that?

After three and a half years of hardship and danger all the way west, Solushen stood beside the ruins of the "Tower of Babel" known to the locals, pondering this question.

What he thinks about is not a life choice like Wu Qi, but a real and spatial direction of where to go.

After more than three years of danger, more than three years of exhaustion, and more than three years of sleeping in the open air, Solu survived and walked through Persepolis, going farther than the later generations of Ban Chao Ganying, and he was not intimidated by words such as "The good in the sea makes people think of the land, and there are many dead".

And now, in front of this group of envoys of hundreds of people, there are two paths.

Along the river, across the Phoenician coast of Syria, to the south is the country of the Queen Mother of the West in the "Biography of Mu Tianzi", where there is a stone tower of dozens of zhang, and there is also a monster statue of Mu Tianzi solving the three-legged puzzle, but there is now a rebellion and self-reliance.

Going up the river and continuing to the west, there is the place where the stories of the Greeks recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" take place, such as the battle of Hot Springs Pass and the ten-year fight for a woman. If you want to go there, you need to cross the sea, and the sea is not a small risk.

After three years of traveling, Solushen's heart has never doubted or wavered, and even when he reaches the country under his feet, he has heard many stories, legends, myths and religions, which has made his mind more mature and more profound.

From the great cunning of the East, to the disciple who served Mo Zhai, and then after fermentation and maturity in the past three years, he gradually realized his own ideas, and he can already be called a "son".

The heart is firm, what is thinking, what is really right, is just the road under your feet, where to go.
