After the envoy of the Mo family left, Duke Song exhaled, and when only cronies and children were left around him, Zitian glanced at the eldest son and asked, "What do you see?" ”

He didn't have any talent, he wasn't stupid, he was just a very ordinary person, so he shook his head and didn't see anything. Vertex X23US

But Gongzi Jiang said: "Father, can't you see the intention of the Mo family's strategy?" What will my father be in the future? ”

"The imperial father's family is ambitious, and the Dai family is also for power, I thought that the imperial father's family would be driven away, but I didn't want to drive away a wolf, but a tiger came."

Gongzijiang is the smartest child in Zitian, sensitive and studious, and when it comes to his background, he is not the eldest son, but when it comes to talent, he is several times or even ten times stronger than Gongzi's army.

These words hit the nail on the head, but Zitian didn't care, but continued to look at his son and said, "Bibing, you can talk about it." ”

Gongzi held back for a long time, and only said: "My brother may be right." But what can be done? ”

Zitian heard the five indifferent but helpless answers, "what can I do", laughed, and paced out by himself.

Several cronies followed, and Zitian smiled: "Now that I am still the Duke of Song, I still have the power to establish the crown prince, right?" ”

The cronies nodded, and Zitian said: "Father and son successively, brother and brother, Zhou etiquette and customs, converge in Song." In my opinion, tomorrow I will sue the world and set up a soldier as the prince. ”

A cronie said: "The king's words are extremely true. Blessed are the foolish, but woe to the wise. Gongzi Jiang is too smart. ”

Zitian sighed, "Yes, very smart. It's a pity that he was born in the wrong place, he was not born in Handan, Yingdu, Anyi or Linzi, he was born in Shangqiu. ”

How could the cronie not know what Zitian meant, and said, "Why don't you send Gongzi Jiang to Sishang as a hostage." If it is sent to Wei Hanchu, I am afraid that the clan will suffer disaster in the future. ”

Zitian snorted and asked with a smile, "Do you think Wei Han Chuqi can't win in the end?" ”

The cronies sighed: "In the past, there were people who lived in Heze, and when they saw the vastness of Heze, they thought that the East China Sea was nothing more than that. After swimming in the East China Sea and standing on the seaside, I knew that it was ridiculous back then. ”

"Song Guo is so close to Sishang, I am like the person who stood on the beach and finally saw the sea. The king set up a prince to set up troops as the crown prince, why not mean this? ”

Zitian was silent for a long time, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "More than 20 years ago, my father was cowardly, first to Chu, and then to Jin, to pay tribute everywhere, today to see tomorrow heavy bribes, I am deeply ashamed." ”

"More than 20 years ago, I was also in Shangqiu, and the doctors competed, but they fought for a Mo family who took advantage of the situation. It took me twenty years to succeed to the throne at that time, and I finally figured out how ridiculous it was for me to laugh at my father. ”

He raised his head and looked at the palace wall, as if his gaze had penetrated the thick wall, and he saw the street market outside, and saw the bustling crowd in Shangqiu City.

Among these children, he did not like to open up troops, because he once felt that they were incompetent and virtuous, and they were like people.

Even now, he still doesn't like it.

The son he really likes is Gongzi Jiang, and that child has the shadow of his youth.

If it was twenty years ago, without even thinking about it, he would have made Gongzijiang the crown prince, anyway, few people have long followed the rules of etiquette.

But now, as a matter of course, he chose his favorite son, to be the crown prince.

People will always grow.

It's like it took me 20 years to understand how ridiculous it was for me to laugh at my father in the first place.

It's like it took me 20 years to understand how ridiculous the idea of dominating the world and recreating Yin Shang when I was young.

He believes that with Gongzijiang's intelligence, he will definitely grow, maybe it won't take twenty years to grow.

Maybe fifteen years, maybe ten years, maybe seven or eight years.

However, what he is afraid of is that the world, or the Mo family, will give Gongzijiang even seven or eight years of growth time?

People have to live to grow.

If you die, you're nothing.

Stupidity can be true or fake, or it can even be like a mirror in the heart but pretending to understand nothing on the surface.

Yet dull, unambitious, and forgetful, they can survive, and it seems to be the only way to survive.

If this is the case, what is the difference between real dullness, false dullness, or dullness like an inner mirror that pretends not to understand on the surface?

If Gongzijiang's growth can only be without ambition in the end, must be without ambition, and is not allowed to be ambitious, then it is better to directly set up the most unambitious son.

Ambition is good.

But that needs to be born in the palace of Handan, Anyi, Linzi, Yingdu.

Born in Shangqiu, born in this world, that ambition that can be praised is the most useless thing.

It's a terrible character.

After a long time, Zitian retracted his empty gaze and asked his cronies beside him: "You say, what will the Mo family's so-called selection of sages as the Son of Heaven look like in the future?" ”

The cronies said: "The Marquis of Guanteng, the Marquis of Xue, and the Marquis of Tan also know. ”

Zitian laughed and said: "The Mo family calls itself Mu Yu and inherits the ambition of Dayu. Yu Xiali, I am annihilated, the Zhou people are rising and destroying me, and now there is the rise of the Mo family who is called Mu Cheng Yuzhi, which is interesting. ”

"Qi Guotian's family, looking for something farther away, starting with the dispute between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, but what's the use? The two emperors of Yan and Huang are fixed in front of Yu, but what is the use? ”

"The Mulberry Forest Society still has the tripod cast by Dayu, I want to invite everyone from the Mo family to worship Yu. It's a pity that the Mo family thought that the Tu Mountain of the Yue Kingdom was Tu Mountain, but they did not recognize the Tu Mountain of the Song Dynasty as Tu Mountain. ”

Hearing Zitian say this, his cronies were full of helplessness in the flattery.

Zhou has three ke, and Xia Yushang all have sacrifices, but to the point where the king of a country only wants to do three ke, how much helplessness and powerlessness is involved?

The tripod of the mulberry forest society, which was left by King Wu to the Song of the Shang descendants, if the Mo family is really invited to worship the tripod, the meaning is self-evident.

However, the cronies said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Mo family won't be three-hearted." It is said that Shang Tang destroyed Xia and King Wu cut down the Xuan, which was to change the mandate of heaven. But the word revolution, in the meaning of the Mohist word, does not mean this. ”

"They don't need and don't want to change their destiny because ...... The Mo family is 'not fatal'. ”

"The monarch should have known that the Mo family and Yang Zhulie Yukou and others had a 'debate of life' that lasted for ten years, and the Mo family firmly believed that there was no life in the world, and even if there was, power could change lives."

"They rely on force, the force of violence."

Zitian sighed, "Violence, yes, violence. ”

"In the past, Jiang Shang attacked Chaoge, and he also used divination and murder, and he relied on violence. But after King Wu heard about the Mandate of Heaven, he was so worried and trembling that he couldn't sleep for three days, and soon fell ill. Since then, God is not God, and Destiny is not Destiny. The Mo family is preparing to not even want the name of the Mandate of Heaven. ”

The cronie said: "Since the king has decided to appoint the prince as the crown prince, why don't you want to go further?" Tenghou Xue Hou is equal to the common people, but is it really equal? ”

"For example, today, there is a king of plain seals and a king of real seals. Your Majesty, if you are worried about the family, you should think further. ”

"You set up a prince to set up troops as the crown prince, that is, you didn't want to continue to be the king of the real seal. In this case, why not be the king of the plain seal? ”

The king of the real fief is the person who really has a fief and relies on the labor rent of the land to exploit it.

The king of the su feudal is a person who does not have a fief, but has wealth and relies on industrial and commercial interest profits.

These Zitian all know and understand the meaning of what their cronies mean, "Tenghou seems to be equal to the common people, but in fact it is still unequal".

Teng Hou and Xue Hou lost the name of the marquis, which was useless in the first place, in exchange for money, wealth and shares, the family is still there, and the wealth is still large.

Zitian has already begun to think of a way out for his family.

However, it is too difficult to make such a determination.

After thinking about it again, he asked, "Is it really not possible to continue the sacrifice for the three kes?" ”

The cronies asked rhetorically: "The world and love, all are the people of the world." The records of the three emperors and five emperors made by the Mohists are passed down all over the world; The matter of Fuxi Nuwa is in the market. Hasn't you understood what the Mo family wants to do? ”

Zitian smiled bitterly: "It's just to find some reasons for Mo Zhai and love." ”

The cronies nodded, then shook their heads again, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if Fuxi Nuwa is the ancestor of all the people of Zhuxia, can everyone in the world be sacrificed?" ”

Zitian didn't say anything, and his cronies said: "The Mo family is in Sishang, so that the common people choose their own surnames, hasn't the king understood one thing?" ”

"For example, if the surname of the son is sacrificed, it will be sacrificed by the king. This is the past. ”

"Now Sishang also has a surname, but will they sacrifice to the ancestors of the king?"

"Since it is impossible to tell the difference, wouldn't it be best to directly worship the oldest ancestors? If you sacrifice Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong, and Suiren...... Everyone can be sacrificed, all are ancestors, even if it is a business contract, then it must be the ancestor of the ancient emperor, why should the Mo family leave three sacrifices at that time? ”

The cronies looked at Zitian and said solemnly and deeply: "The Mo family must seek righteousness when doing things. So if a person has to be righteous in everything he does, we don't need to know the person's mind, we just need to know the righteousness he believes in, so that we can know what he will do. ”

"You think that the Mo family really has a sense of awe and respect for those surnamed ancestors?"

Zitian did not study the Mohist culture deeply, and the flattery he thought of was the continuation of the strategy, that is, the Ding of the Mulberry Forest Society.

So he said: "Although the Mo family is thinly buried, it is heavy on ghosts and gods. Moreover, if you want to envy Dayu, this point is unchangeable, right? ”

The cronies worshipped: "The ghosts and gods that the Mo family values are not so much ghosts and gods as rules. According to the theory of the real name of the "Ink Debate", a thing can be called a ghost or a rule, and the essence will not be changed because of the change of name. ”

"Do you think that they value ghosts and gods, and really value the 'ghosts and gods' that people in the world think of, how can they choose to be buried as their righteousness? Because the ghosts and gods that people in the world think are the ghosts and gods, and the ghosts and gods that the Mo family thinks are actually just rules. rules, if you don't like it, you don't need a thick burial vessel, so of course you can bury it thinly. ”

"You may not know how Mo Zhai explained the name and the truth back then."

At that time, Mo Zhai said, for example, admiring and respecting and loving Dayu, what he loved was not Dayu himself, but what he loved and admired what Dayu did. Your Majesty, please carefully experience this sentence, and use the grammatical terms set by the Mojia and Le Zheng's Confucianism, dare to ask what your lord is talking about in this sentence? ”

This involves simple grammar, and Zitian has a good aristocratic education, so he can naturally refine this sentence.

After thinking for a moment, Zitian suddenly said, "Respect." Love. Pasteurs? ”

This is a simple refinement, and the cronies immediately said, "Yes." The Mo family has been talking about Mu Yu, Ai Yu, and Jing Yu, but in fact, the debate in the name of Mo Zhai only omits the most critical 'things'. ”

"Does a name belong to a thing or a person?"

"Do ancestors belong to things or to people?"

"Does a surname belong to a thing or a person?"

"These are all questions that can be easily answered, so don't you understand? Will the Mo family care about who is the descendant of Dayu and who is the descendant of Shang Tang? They won't care. ”

"You are not always noble, you are cheap, they recognize Dayu, but they do not recognize Xia Qi. They take it for granted that Dayu has the world, because Dayu's behavior is beneficial to the world; And they think that Xia Qi won the world, breaking the rules of choosing a sage as the Son of Heaven in ancient times, so if someone can do something like Dayu, even if Xia Qi is overthrown, the Mo family will praise it loudly. Will they care about surnames and sacrifices? ”

"That's why I advise you to make plans early. On the occasion of changes that have not been seen in a thousand years, take the first step, be the king of the plain seal, and stop thinking about the actual seal and inheritance. ”
