Chapter 63: Breaking the Deadlock
It is the princes who have countries and doctors who have families.
Merchants have no country, people have no homes, and handicrafts have no land.
This is the rule of the times, but with the development of the productive forces, this rule is spontaneously disintegrating, but the conservative forces are still huge.
Ji Sunluan is no longer a person of the old era in terms of economic attributes, which is an important factor in Wei Rang's persuasion success.
Ji Sunluan's thoughts actually don't agree with everything about the Mo family, and he doesn't even know much, but in the face of interests, it is easy to stand on the side that the Mo family wants.
In the land of a county, there are talents.
Fei Guo is not big or small, if there are always virtuous people, there are also a few nobles who have studied some of the morality of the Mo family, and even some nobles who feel that the morality of the Mo family is reasonable, but feeling reasonable does not mean that they will do it.
Ji Sunluan is a "person" with economic attributes, and has stepped into a new era, but his brain and thinking are still stuck in the old era.
Those who have studied the Mohist doctrine have gone to a new era with their brains and thinking, but the economic attributes are still in the old era.
In the Fei Guo Palace, after several days of persuasion and negotiation, there was still no progress, and the conditions proposed by the Mo family were like inviting the king into the urn and asking the king to ask for a noose, which was impossible to accept anyway.
Fei Jun's face was full of sorrow, slightly angry, and only a few close attendants were left.
One of the attendants was the most special, beautiful and white.
As the Yue Ren song sings: Tonight, the night is in the middle of the boat. Today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince. Shame is good, not shameful. The heart was annoyed and unstoppable, and learned that the prince. The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king.
This beautiful man held the boat, and when he saw the beauty of Prince Chu, he sang and said. So the prince of Chu repaired it, hugged it, and covered it with embroidery.
The man's temperament is like this, just because of the existence of social status, the monarch must be attacking and the close servant must be suffering.
can be the close attendant of the monarch's pillow, in addition to his beautiful appearance, he also has many talents, especially good at reading poetry and books, and quite knowledgeable.
This person is also from a noble background, has a surname and a name, and because the fief is in the south of Zheshan, many people call it Zheyangzi, this son is not a title of the king, just a kind of honorific title, of course, the monarch will not call his male pet like this.
Zheyangzi has also read more books of the Mo family over the years, and he has gained a lot, and in the past few days, Meng Sheng and others have persuaded Fei Jun to persuade him to always accompany him.
He is one of the few nobles who is aware of the current crisis in the capital, and he is not as optimistic about the affairs in the city as the rest of the people.
Meng Sheng was aggressive this time, not giving an inch, and he did not have the posture of making more concessions before and after the battle of Lushui, and there were more than 40 articles that did not change, add or delete.
The Mo family is aggressive, although Meng Sheng is only a scholar when it comes to his background, and he is considered a sergeant in the family, but the strength behind him is so great that it is just like when Wu Yuechu called himself the king and watched the politics of China, without any natural respect for the monarch's identity.
Now that another day has passed, Zheyangzi saw that his lover Fei Jun was tired, so he invited him into the bedroom.
Fei Jun sighed, Zheyangzi knew why his lover was worried, and knew that this was a state affair and not a private matter, so he called Jun Dao: "Your Majesty, now there is a lot of chaos in the city, and the people are like fire, so you must not ignore it." ”
Fei Jun sighed and said, "How can I not know? It's just that the Mo family's changes are unacceptable. ”
Zheyangzi nodded and said, "In this case, we must guard against the rebellion of the countrymen." You can invite the doctor and the six secretaries to quell the chaos, and each lead private soldiers into the capital to suppress the people. ”
He stretched out his hand, made a gesture of cutting off his head, and said: "The people are ignorant and afraid of death, and they seek profit and are in trouble, if they kill a few people, they may be able to settle down." Those who drive ink and close the country, this fashion is promising, and the society can be guaranteed. ”
Fei Jun nodded, shook his head again, and said, "I also have this intention." It's just that the Mo family does righteousness, if I do this, the Mo family will say that I am the unrighteous king, the righteous teacher is strong, and the more Shang is invincible, what about our country of hundreds of times? ”
This is a fact, a big factor in the fact that the people of Fei can make trouble is because of the existence of Sishang, as a strong backing, to strengthen the courage of the people.
The Mohists wrote this kind of thing in the "Book of Ink", and the monarch of Fei knew the consequences of doing so, so although he wanted to solve it with the simplest way, he couldn't solve it with the simplest way.
Fei Jun looked at Zhechengzi, and the gentle love finally appeared on his face, and he drove away a trace of unhappiness and said: "Although your method can't be implemented, it is for my good." ”
Zhechengzi also smiled, but took a step back, and said with the courtesy of a courtier: "Although the Mo family is unjust, but Qin, Wei, Qi, how can the monarch be justified?" The Mo family is not unwilling to be punished, but it cannot be punished. ”
"The matter of Fei Guo, if you only look at Sishang, I am afraid there is no solution. If you agree with the Mo family, you will be in chaos and the country will be in chaos; If you don't agree, I'm afraid that the people of the country will come out of the king. ”
"But if you look at the world, this matter can be solved."
"One delayed, only said that the matter would be discussed again to stabilize the people. The secret doctor Shangqing has a family to protect the country, and gathers private soldiers into the capital. ”
"The second is to repair several books, ask for help from Qi and Wei, and use the power of Qi Wei to subdue the Mo family."
Fei Jun smiled bitterly: "Fei Xiao." A widow is like a sheep. ”
"The Mo family is like a tiger, Qi Wei is like a wolf, and the widow is a sheep. Inviting wolves to drive away tigers is not wise. If I am a leopard, I may be able to drive tigers and wolves. Fei is as small as a sheep, and this matter is definitely not feasible. ”
Fei was able to establish a country in Sishang by surviving between the cracks of the big countries. When the Yue State was strong, it became clear that the closer the Yue State was to Qi, so that the Yue State did not dare to annex it, and the Qi State could not go deeper.
There is still a monarch of this kind of wisdom.
However, Zheyangzi said: "The teacher is famous, and I am famous, so that Qi Wei can only fight against the Mo family and cannot encroach on our land." ”
Fei Jun frowned and asked, "What's the name?" ”
Zheyangzi said in a deep and solemn voice: "Protector! Seek benevolence. This matter cannot be said to let Qi Wei help the society of the Fei State, but to say that it is necessary to ask the countries to maintain the etiquette and humility, and that the Mo family is going to make the world chaotic, and the world cannot be allowed to have the opportunity to practice benevolent government, so he asked Qi Wei to send troops to seek benevolence in the world. ”
When Fei Jun heard this benevolent word, his head hurt a little, and he smiled bitterly: "Aren't you sick, what are you talking about?" The Mo family is benevolent and good at arguing, and these proposals of the Mo family are also benevolent government, how can I use such a reason? I'm afraid that if you use such a reason, you will be ridiculed, right? ”
Zheyangzi shook his head and said: "The benevolence of the Mo family is not the benevolence of the upper class in the world. Benevolence is self-respecting, and rudeness, how can there be benevolence? ”
He saw that Fei Jun still didn't understand much, so he explained: "Your Majesty, if someone in the city owes money and plans the creditor, can this person's behavior be called benevolence?" ”
Fei Jun shook his head and said, "This is a normal thing. ”
Zheyangzi asked again: "If you collect taxes, but give some relief to the people when they are famine." So, can it be called benevolence? ”
Fei Jun said: "This can be called benevolence. ”
Zheyangzi smiled and said: "Therefore, if the morality of the Mo family is practiced in the world, then there will be no benevolence and virtue in the world." ”
"Everyone is equal, judged by talent, etc., so can the nobility pay tribute to the lowly and talented people, and be praised? No, under equality, in terms of talent, it is natural for those who have no talent to salute those who have talent, just like paying off debts, can this be praised? ”
"The Mohist theory of the family and the country, then the monarch should benefit the people, this is like owing money to the people, and paying back the money is not benevolent, but just a matter of course, so how can it be called benevolence?"
"Etiquette is the beginning of benevolence, and there is a difference between the noble and the low, so that benevolent government can be practiced. If there is no distinction between the noble and the low, everyone is equal, and it is said that the law is for profit, and the monarch exists for the benefit of the people, and everything should be done, how can there be benevolence? ”
"The people are ignorant, and the king must rob the people of their wealth and give some to the people, and the people will call it benevolent."
"The people are chaotic, and there must be a difference between the high and the low, so that the virtuous can feel that they have been valued by the superiors, and this can be praised for virtue."
Therefore, the basis of benevolence is that there are different rules for the noble and the low. Rules are courtesy, and rudeness is unkindness. The Mo family is not polite, how can they be said to be benevolent? ”
"In the past, the Jin people cast the punishment tripod, Zhong Ni said, the noble and the lowly are disorderly, how can they be a country?"
"If there is no noble and lowly, how can there be benevolent government? If there is no noble and lowly, how can there be virtue? ”
Zheyangzi looked at the monarch, took a step closer and asked, "If there is a chicken and dog slaughterer on the street now, there is a slight talent." A person has a lowly status, and he goes to see him with a gift of 100 gold, but he is also empty; One person's blood is noble, and there is no need for 100 gold, so he waits for nothing. So, which kind of virtuous person thinks that he respects himself? ”
Fei Jun said: "It is the blood nobles who respect it more. ”
Zheyangzi asked, "But if everyone is equal, then how can this respect be distinguished?" And how can the virtues of the nobility be demonstrated? If the Mohists seek profit, they must use profit to judge virtue, so whoever gives more benefits will do things for whom, which is moral collapse. Therefore, the morality of the Mo family will make the world immoral, rude, and benevolent. ”
Fei Jun slightly understood the meaning of this, if according to the Mohist doctrine, what the monarch does is beneficial to the people, it should be taken for granted, then the natural thing can be called benevolence? Just like repaying debts, can repaying money be called benevolence?
But Fei Jun would also ask: "But the Mo family still talks about benevolence." ”
Zheyangzi had read a lot of books from the Mo family, and when he heard this, he nodded and said: "The benevolence of the Mo family is self-love. The mainstream benevolence in the world is love. That's the difference. ”
"The Mohists elected sages as the Son of Heaven, gathered the righteousness of the people and synonymously, and convened the elected representatives of all the people to make the law for the benefit of the people. Who is benefiting from the laws that are made by those representatives? ”
Fei Jun said: "Everyone seeks profit. More is good for yourself. ”
Zheyangzi said with a smile: "Then, people elect representatives to make laws and govern, and they formulate laws and policies that are beneficial to themselves, isn't this self-love?" Therefore, the benevolence of the Mo family is to love oneself, and their system is also practicing self-love, and once they want to practice their 'benevolence', it will inevitably appear...... The selection of sages as representative of the law-making matter. ”
In this way, where is the monarch still qualified to practice the mainstream benevolent government of the world? The mainstream benevolence in the world is love. To be in a higher position, such as raising horses, you can love horses; If you are a shepherd, you can love the sheep. If everyone loves himself, and governs because of his love, how can there be benevolence? All politics is launched by everyone who loves himself, how to shepherd the sheep? How to put a horse? ”
"Therefore, with the benevolence of the Mo family and the love of themselves, the monarchs of the world must be afraid, this is what the Mo family still hides from the princes of the world, we can write it out and spread it to the world."
Fei Jun still didn't turn around, and chuckled: "Isn't this to debate with the Mo family, is it useless to say this?" ”
Zheyangzi's eyes widened and said, "How can it be useless?" ”
"We must turn the affairs of the country into the affairs of the world. It is necessary to turn the matter of Sishang into a dispute over etiquette and rules. ”
"Fei Guo should take the lead in opposing the morality of the Mo family, exposing the ambitions of the Mo family, and turning the matter of the Fei country into a major event for the princes of the world to maintain the rules."
"In this way, Qi Wei will be able to send troops, the world will be shaken, and Sishang will become a powder keg in the world, and the world will be in chaos, so as to protect your society!"
"The bigger the trouble, the better it will be for you; The more people you kill, the more secure your position will be. If you first raise a knife to slaughter the Mo people in the Fei country and expel the Mo family, then the World Alliance will have a place for you in the future. ”
"Jump out of Sishang and stir up the world, and the society can be saved. Otherwise, it's a dead knot. By doing this, you can untie the knot. ”
