When Shangqiu Cheng was discussing the candidates for the first time in the common people's house, Shi was also very busy.

On the one hand, it is necessary to build momentum for the autonomous status of Pei County, and on the other hand, it is also leading public opinion and preparing to reach a relatively peaceful first meeting of the Consultation Yuan.

It can't be asked for too much, so that it is irreconcilable, thus cutting off the opportunity for people to learn and grow.

It can't be too little, so that now such a good form, when the people's armed organizations have not been disbanded, have not won enough benefits to disappoint the people.

In addition, the people were also called upon to prepare timber and make wheelbarrows to facilitate the transportation of grain from Pei County to support Shangqiu through the years of scarcity.

He is experienced in all these things, and he can be considered to be able to plan as a whole, and after Mozi discussed with the Mo family's high-level officials, it was natural that Shi Shi was in charge of these things.

Now his reputation is loud enough in Shangqiu, and he is no longer the son of that little shoemaker, but a Mohist radical who can incite and call on enough people.

When he was busy, in order not to divert the attention of the nobles and monarchs, the Mo family came up with the third article that mediated the dispute, that is, the promise to bury those who died in the chaos.

The Mo family is against thick burials and has always hoped for festival burials, but this kind of festival burial requirements are only valid within the Mo family.

It is impossible for ordinary people to have the opportunity to be buried thickly, so there is no need to tell too much, because the property has deprived them of the opportunity to be buried thickly, so there is no need for the Mo family to "deprive" them of the "power" of a thick burial.

And the funerals of the nobles and scholars, they are not ink scholars, and because of Gongsun Ze's request before his death, this large-scale funeral is imperative.

Since the king of Chu has a thin waist and starves to death in the palace, and the Marquis of Qi is good in purple clothes and Linzi is purple, then Mozi seems that if the king is a good festival burial, then there will be more festival burials below.

As the so-called upward and downward effect, Mozi cited the story that Duke Wen of Jin likes coarse cloth clothes, so many courtiers also wear coarse cloth clothes, which is still useful for changing customs.

It's just that now the Mohists have gradually had a political purpose and are no longer a simple academic group, and this funeral ceremony has a different meaning.

The Mo family understood that this was to delay time, divert the attention of the monarch and nobles, and make them have no energy to face the many changes in the city.

Confucian scholars can preside over funerals, and Confucianism is originally a priest.

Although there are many rebels in the Mo family, and there are also many full-time priests, it is impossible to come forward to preside because of the funeral theory.

Mozi also knew the true purpose of this matter, but he finally had doubts in his heart and asked, "In this way, isn't it preaching the wind of thick burials?" ”

Some disciples also replied: "Giant, even if we don't do it, won't they bury it thickly?" Our rules, after all, are not the rules of the world. All this is to prepare for our rules to become the rules of the world in the future, and the disciples think there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Mozi also knew it, but he still sighed: "Shi Zeng said that filial piety is not in the heart, and there is no filial piety for the common people." This is true, but if the wind of thick burials rises in the world, won't everyone in the world pursue this kind of atmosphere? ”

"Now that the will of heaven is mastered, it seems that the wealth of the people will become more and more, so those who were originally unable to be buried will also be buried thickly. Those who could have been buried were even more so. ”

"What's the use of all this wealth being buried in the ground?"

"If everyone in the world thinks that a thick burial is right, how can more people join the Mo family? This matter, for our future pros and cons, still needs to be considered. ”

Seeing that the disciples were still going to speak, Mozi waved his hand and said, "I know, I know." After all, we will not participate in this matter, and the monarch and nobles will also bury those scholars, and they must always subdue the hearts of the people and not make people dissatisfied. ”

"Now that the coup has failed, the deaths of those people have no meaning: they have not changed anything, they have died. In this case, if there is no funeral, I am afraid that the soldiers will be dissatisfied. ”

He sighed and said, "When will the people of the world know that burying these riches in the ground in vain is something that the Emperor of Heaven does not like?" Is it also bad for the world? ”

After a long sigh, I thought that I was old and aging, but the rules of the world had only changed a little, and there was a fly in the ointment after all.

In the city, under the persuasion of many parties, it can be regarded as to ostensibly bridge the contradiction between the nobles and the monarch, and a funeral was held in such a cumbersome and complicated way.

Every time it is tedious, it will buy more time for Shi Shi to promote something.

Gongsun Ze's body, wrapped in lime, still stinks slightly.

This gentleman who longed for his death before he died, didn't want to see everything he didn't want to see, and died before the troubled times of the Warring States, so he died with a smile before he died.

In a large house in the city, there were many taxis that died in the coup, and many of them responded to Gongsun Ze's call to rescue Song Gong on their own.

Those who did not die at that time were not killed for violating the Mo family's ban on defending the city for the time being, but many people killed themselves and became a taxi who kept his promise.

These people died for Song Gong, and it also made Song Gong understand that what he could rely on was Zhou Li: because he was Song Gong, these people died without hesitation, not because he was Zitian.

How many people are still in Shangqiu City who can be martyred?

Zitian didn't know, but he knew that these people who could be martyred were the strength he could really rely on.

Just like the feelings of his predecessors when they fled abroad: When he was the king in the palace, the soldiers praised the monarch's bravery, and the close ministers praised the monarch's beauty, but there were few who really accompanied him to escape.

Now that the people are unreliable, let alone the nobles, Zitian knows that he must make a sufficient gesture: to maintain Zhou Li is to protect himself.

In the room filled with the slight stench of corpses, Gongsun Ze's body had been cleaned, and the rotting bruise-purple wounds had been carefully stitched up.

A new quilt was placed on Gongsun Ze's body. This quilt is about the surplus of a farmer in a year's life.

The Confucian priest in charge of the conjuring of spirits wears a solid lavender garment, the left side of the top and bottom are connected together, and the collar is inserted between the bands to hold it in place.

When the hour came, he went out of the house, climbed up the ladder to the east eaves, stood in the middle of the ridge, and took out a suit of clothes.

Facing the north, he shouted, "Hey! Gongsun Ze is back! ”

After shouting three times in a row, he threw the waving clothes down the roof, and the people below carried the suitcase, found the right position to catch it, and then carried the suitcase into the house, and covered the clothes for Gongsun Ze first.

The Confucian scholar who was in charge of the conjuring of spirits walked from the roof to the west and climbed down from the eaves of the west side, which was regarded as completing the first step of the ritual of conjuring spirits.

The ink man who was watching was secretly dissatisfied, and said that this new quilt was only afraid that a farmer would be able to accumulate it for a year, so it would be buried?

Besides, the clothes are not cheap clothes, and isn't it bad for the poor people of Shangqiu to have these clothes?

All they think about is how to benefit the world, which is incompatible with these etiquette.

The original formal ceremony, in the eyes of these ink practitioners, is indescribably awkward, they have accepted the view of Mozi's funeral, and reject this complicated ritual from the heart.

When the clothes were covered, another person in charge of the sacrifice used a ritual vessel to pry open Gongsun Ze's upper and lower teeth, and fixed his legs with a low table, and placed a lot of dried meat, meat sauce and sweet wine on it according to the identity and specifications of the scholar.

This should be paid by the nobles who participated in the coup d'état at the time, but in the final analysis, these things were obtained from their fiefs, or the wealth of the fiefs was used to lend money to recover interest.

The closest person in Gongsun Ze's family, standing on the east side of the west steps, facing south, instructed a mourner.

"Gongsun Ze is dead, please inform the monarch to report the funeral."

After repeatedly saluting, after the mourners accepted the thanks, they got up and left, and went to inform Song Gong, who had already known, that this was a process that had to be completed.

The hall began to be covered with curtains as a mourning hall.

After sending someone to report the funeral, Gongsun Ze's closest family members entered the house and sat on the east side of the corpse bed. His brothers and cousins all faced west and stood behind him.

The wife and concubine of the Lord of the Lord's mourning sat facing east on the west side of the bed. The deceased's father, brothers, and sisters were in the inner room. For relatives outside the five garments, the woman sits outdoors facing north, and the man stands facing north under the hall.

Gongsun Ze's attendants are also qualified to stand north under the hall, wearing mourning clothes that should be used by disciples.

Song Gong, who had already known the news, immediately sent someone to mourn after completing the procedure and receiving the funeral report.

In view of the low status of the scholar, it is impossible for the duke to go to mourn in person from the perspective of etiquette, so he must send someone.

And even if many people died in that turmoil, Song Gong could not send people at the same time, but had to wait in the palace for people who came to report the funeral one after another, and then send people to mourn one after another after getting the news.

Not only the Duke of Song, but also the nobles who participated in the coup d'état also had to perform such rituals.

The people sent by the Duke of Song to mourn must arrive first, and then the people sent by the nobles to mourn can arrive, which are all rehearsed and orderly.

When the mourners arrived, the curtain was immediately removed, and the mourners were to go out to meet the messenger of the sovereign, but not to weep.

After the salute, the mourners enter the door and stand on the right side facing north. The angel of the monarch came in from the west, facing east.

Then, according to that set of rules, say a few words of sorrow and the like, and then the mourner will begin to weep, and must cry.

Not only do you have to cry, but you also have to kneel on the ground and cry, and when you cry, you have to bow and buckle your head.

After buttoning his head, he immediately got up, patted his chest, and cried loudly, which is called crying, and at this time, he must cry in his voice and cannot speak normally to express his grief.

After weeping, the messenger of mourning departed, and the mourner of the Lord immediately got up, restrained his crying, and sent him to the door, and then bowed again.

Nobles such as doctors need to be present in person, but at this time, there is no need to go out to greet them, but to greet them directly inside.

Crying is still to cry, but at this time, you must not beat your chest and cry, that is the crying method that can only be used by the messenger who receives the king......

All this will take nearly half a day, and this is just the beginning.

Because of the particularity of this incident, although Song Gong could not come to mourn for the first time because of his identity, he could send a car to send a car to give some clothes and other items in person.

The mourner should expose his left arm to greet the king, and then let the king sit in the house and touch Gongsun Ze's chest, while the rest of the people avoided it.

After touching the chest, summon the mourner to enter, and then order the mourner to touch the body, and the mourner cannot touch the chest, because that is the place where the king can touch it......

Such cumbersome etiquette, many dead taxis, and in order to subdue the hearts of the people and maintain their own etiquette, the act must be done,

These dead taxis bought about five days for the right time. And Gongsun Ze, who had been obsessed with Shi before he died, Shi also used his body to the extreme, and told Song Gong what he said before his death, forcing Song Gong to spend a lot of time to come in person.

All these cumbersome and ceremonial rituals were presided over by Confucianism, and this kind of cumbersomeness was ridiculous in the eyes of everyone in the Mo family, but they were secretly happy - time, the time that the Mo family lacked the most, was won by these corpses.

Dead people, too, useful.
