The rebellion of the nobility, of course, was in their own interests.

Neither for the people nor for the Chu people.

It's just that, after all, when you say it to outsiders, you need some reason to say it to outsiders.

Da Yin didn't think about it, so he replied: "I'm from the Song Dynasty, how can it be for the Chu people to attack the city?" Such a statement is an insult to me. ”

He drew his sword and angrily reprimanded, and said: "We are doing this precisely because we are in line with the will of the people and the society at the top." Is this actually wrong? ”

Shixiao asked: "But if the Chu people don't want to destroy the Song Dynasty and sacrifice to the people, then will the Chu people attack Shangqiu, will it damage Sheji?" ”

Da Yin hurriedly said: "But the public opinion is raging, and we can't bear the suffering of the people from hunger." After all, it is the people who want to expel the unrighteous king, and we just obey the will of the people. ”

Shi shook his head and said, "However, the public opinion I have heard is not like this." Da Yin, you keep saying that it is for the people of Shangqiu, but just like you raised a hunting dog, you fed the dog to eat grass, and said that he was allowed to eat grass for the good of the dog. But don't you think you should ask your dog if he wants to eat grass? ”

Da Yin's face twitched, he didn't answer, and said for a while: "Xiao Si Kou is in charge of the matter of the three inquiries, he should know the wishes of the people of Shangqiu." ”

This is not to shirk responsibility, but Xiao Si Kou's own job is these, Xiao Si Kou hurriedly said: "The people in the city really don't want to defend the city anymore, the granary was burned by the Chu people, and if they continue to defend it, they are afraid that countless people will starve to death in the city." The people did not want to starve to death, so they wanted to defend the city, and this is the will of the people, and this is what I have asked. ”

Originally, Xiao Sikou was also going to add words like the Mandate of Heaven, but when he thought about the other party's "non-fate", he knew that it was useless to say it.

Shi immediately retorted: "Juzi said, everything has big benefits and small benefits. For example, at this time, there are 100 catties of wheat, and there is still some time before next year's planting, so you can only eat less every day and mix it with bracken and sunflower vegetables to support it until next year. ”

"If someone says that if you don't mix it with fern and sunflower vegetables at this time, and eat enough every day, you may be able to deceive many people. But this is not a big benefit, but a short-term small benefit. ”

After that, he pointed to the people who gathered together behind him and distributed weapons, and said: "Now the people want to make big profits, not just small profits, so this is the real public opinion." ”

"Juzi said, criminals are forbidden, but they are not guilty. Song Gong was angry, even if he caused harm, but is all the blame for him? ”

"Did the little priest ask the people what they thought before he was angry? There are also subordinates of Liuqing, didn't they think about the consequences before they were angry? Then why didn't they persuade each other? ”

"Today's events, the opinion of the people is to meet Song Gong and seek great benefits, and also to prepare for the fact that such a similar thing will not happen again in the future. This is the real public opinion. ”

"The Mo Shi came today just to promote a few strikes and fights, and they all said that they were all for the people and the community, so please stop the war."

"Today's matter, if it is for the people of Shangqiu and Song Zhisheji, it is not guilty, and Song Gong can swear not to investigate today's matter. If Song Gong can't even agree to the great benefits of the people, then it's not too late to change! ”

The words have come to such a grim point, and Da Yin also understands what the real public opinion is that Shi is talking about.

The real public opinion at this time is not a reason, but the hundreds of ink warriors, three hundred Peiyi armor soldiers, and thousands of people who have distributed weapons behind him.

It's useless to talk about reasoning.

And looking at the people behind him, Xiao Sikou also knew that the strength of the ink man's demagogic methods was far beyond his own ability.

A few days ago, he thought the people had only one option left to expel the monarch.

At that time, he also knew the public opinion near the city wall.

But in just a few days, these people were bewitched by the ink man to change their minds, what is "big profit" and what these people want, Xiao Sikou is not clear.

But when you think about it, the people under the walls are no different from the people inside the city.

Since the Ink Scholar has made the people under the city wall change their minds in a short period of time, I am afraid that the people in the city will not be able to withstand the words of the Ink Scholar Xuanyi Department.

Little Si Kou understands that today's events cannot be changed.

Even though the Moshi said that they were only doing third-party mediation, in fact the attitude was clear: if the mediation is smooth, then mediate. If it doesn't go well, you have to go into battle yourself.

Da Yin looked at these armed Shangqiu peasant soldiers, and then looked at the Peiyi soldiers who were neatly lined up with the heroic posture of soldiers, and he also knew that today's affairs were not so simple.

In desperation, he had no choice but to ask, "Could it be that the Moshi is going to give up defending the city in order to let the two sides stop fighting?" I have heard that the Mohist is the most trustworthy of all, and that he cannot repent of what he has promised. ”

Shi didn't answer, and Gongzao Ye Lang said: "Zi Mozi personally defends and has his own means." Don't say that the Chu people are tired, even when the morale is high, they can also ensure that Shangqiu will not lose for a few days. ”

Da Yin didn't understand what means the Mo Scholar used to defend the city, but since he dared to mobilize these many people to leave the city wall, with the faith of the Mo Scholar, he must first ensure that the city wall is not lost, which is the root of all problems.

The condition for the nobles to launch a rebellion was that they believed that the Chu people were attacking the city so violently that Mozi began to mobilize most of the forces in the city to defend it, and at this time there was no force to participate in the coup d'état in the city while ensuring the city walls.

The Moshi had also approached these nobles before, telling them that the Chu people were attacking the city fiercely, and they might need the private relatives of these nobles to participate in defending the city.

On the other side, the Sicheng Emperor's family, the ink man completely invoked the private armor of the Sicheng Emperor in the city, no matter how you look at it, it is the feeling that the city wall is in danger.

Now that Gongzaoye said this, Da Yin knew that the Mo family was trustworthy, and since he said so, then the city wall must still be able to do so after mobilizing so many troops, and he was shocked in his heart.

Since it can ensure that the city wall is not lost, then if the ink man and the Sicheng Emperor are united, there is absolutely no possibility of success in the coup.

Da Yin felt that he needed to buy more time to win those armor soldiers to break through the Xiao Wall, and then the matter would be irreparable.

He was about to say a few words of truth, but he only listened to Shidao: "The giant has an order, since it is for the people of Shangqiu, it must put the will of the people first." At this time, the Chu people were attacking the city urgently, and if someone helped the Chu people to attack the city in the name of public opinion, then they could only deal with it according to the means of defending the city. ”

"The giant said that wheat and weed cannot be separated when they are young, but if they are strong, they can always be distinguished. Now you are either attacking the city for the Song Dynasty and the people, or for the Chu people, since you can't tell the difference, please call the army, if the Song Gong can't go abroad according to the permission! ”

"The giant has an order, at this time, if the two sides can't stop the army, the ink will come forward to fight back against the side that continues to fight! Just like the king who helps the weak or fights the belligerent! ”

Da Yin's face changed slightly, now that he has a great advantage on his side, if the ink artist sits idly by, he is actually helping himself.

But now the ink man wants both sides to strike the army, that is, it is clearly to help the weak Song Gong.

Da Yin said sharply: "The ink master is doing this, is it to help the Daoless Song Gong?" ”

Shi reiterated: "The Mo only asks both sides to strike the army, and whoever does not strike the army will help the side that strikes the army." It doesn't mean to help anyone, can't Da Yin stop the army? If you strike out, will the Ink Warriors still attack you? ”

Hearing this, Da Yin looked at the spear behind him and the silent people, and sighed: "What if the king can't agree to the people's opinions? What if the king can't satisfy us? Some truths are right, but who can do them right? ”

Shi solemnly replied: "The giant has his own means, so don't worry about this." Only within one hour, if Song Gong cannot agree, then the ink will no longer mediate. These people do not belong to the Mo, and if their big profits are not satisfied, then they will naturally pursue small profits. ”

"It is harmful to give up big profits and take small profits. And taking small profits and sacrificing big harms is for the sake of profit. ”

Shi nodded lightly at Gong Zaoye, and Gong Zaoye immediately called the two ink swordsmen beside him and said, "If Da Yin agrees, I will immediately send these two people into the palace." Tell the people what they want to look forward to, and only give Song Gong a choice. ”

Da Yin looked at these people and understood in his heart that the matter had come to this point, and Duke Song could agree to any conditions, as long as he could maintain the position of duke.

When the ink man said this, he was actually helping Song Gong, but the ink man said that he was only neutral and mediated, and he had no intention of helping either side at all.

Da Yin understands that one is strong and one is weak, if there is a third party, then neutrality is to help the strong, and mediation is to help the weak.

Seeing that Da Yin was still hesitating, he added: "Now Zi Mozi has found that the Chu people are strong and capable, and there is no need for too many soldiers to defend the city. Emperor Sicheng begged to see Zi Mozi, thinking that you people were helping the Chu people to attack the city, and there were rumors that if the Chu people broke the city, the Sicheng Emperor and his family would be wiped out, so their private subordinates were panicked, or there were many people who wanted to return to protect the head of the family......"

This can be regarded as a final warning, and it can be regarded as telling Da Yin not to think that the siege of the Chu people will involve all the energy of the Mo people, and now not only can these people be dispatched, but even the private soldiers of the Sicheng Emperor clan can also go down to the city.

Listening to Shi's words, Da Yin smiled bitterly, he had been planning a coup d'état for three years, waiting for the opportunity for the Chu people to attack the city, but he didn't want the force that he had never thought would participate in the coup d'état to come forward to participate in the coup, resulting in a complete loss.

Now that things are impossible, the time given by the ink man is very small, and Song Gong is in danger, as long as he is not allowed to commit suicide, he will definitely agree to the people's conditions first.

Da Yin thought to himself, if he didn't agree, it would give the ink man an excuse to stand on Song Gong's side, but if he agreed to strike the army...... Big things go!

It seems that coups have always failed, and if you are not killed, there is only one way to escape.

Da Yin thought of the person who sat in the throne of Da Yin decades ago, after the failure of the coup, he served the son Qi who had the right to inherit and fled to the Chu State, and now the family has long been ruined and no longer has a reputation for power.

couldn't help asking: "If I wait for the army to strike, won't the king retaliate?" Is the oath reliable? Of course, the ink artist is for the benefit of the people of Shangqiu, but to do so is to let us flee! Even if I can say yes, how can the rest of us say yes? Aren't the people of the armor who follow us to worry about it? ”
