Two days later, Pengcheng.

Not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up, and it was inevitable that he would be a little angry.

But after reading the piece of paper that I received, I immediately came to my senses.

"After two quarters of an hour, the Seven Enlightenments will be there."

The secretary knew the contents of the paper, said unhurriedly, and hurriedly dressed himself.

In one room, the expensive merman oil lamp burns brightly, which is the grease brought by the whaling industry that has developed in the coastal areas of Qi today, as the lubricating oil and lighting grease that was alongside castor oil before the advent of oil, and is now a necessary consumable for many textile workshops.

Soon, the rest of the people had arrived.

Before coming, they had already read the news and knew about the big event that had happened in Shangqiu three days ago.

Things have been done, good or bad, right or wrong, that's not something to discuss now.

Shi rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "The emperor's father, Yue Ling, is also a person with ideas, this is to force us to attack the Song Dynasty, so that all countries will turn against Mexico." ”

A Qiwu in his forties next to him said bitterly: "Didn't the giant say before, the nobles are herdsmen, and they are the shepherds of a city, and the people are just lambs, which can be used as three animals to sacrifice whatever they want to do." ”

"He has no choice, we are like a light man who has a virgin, abandoned the imperial father's family and turned to support the Dai family, and he had to find someone else."

Several people smiled, and Shi Ye smiled: "It's just that his good ideas may not be useful." Now that Shangqiu is not in his hands, he is just a nobleman, and he is no longer the Great Yin of the Inquiry Yuan. ”

"I think this is the right thing to do, and the decision is right at the right time, no matter what, the initiative is in our hands. Is it talking? Is it hitting? It's up to us. ”

"It's just that this matter still needs to be investigated and investigated, and we will ask what the situation was at that time. But even if this thing is right, I think the praise needs to be low-key. ”

In just one sentence, the disposition of Shang Qiu Mo's person was defined, but he couldn't say too much.

After all these years of internal struggle, the Tianxia faction suppressed the non-offensive faction in Sishang, but the radical or opportunist faction also raised its head, after all, it was with their strength that suppressed the non-offensive faction.

If this matter is greatly praised, it can have many consequences.

Shangqiu is different from other places, it is the starting place of the Mo family, and one Mo person may be able to be caught among a hundred people, and the remaining three are at least sympathizers.

That was where the Mohists were most powerful outside of Sishang, and where the ruling class was the weakest.

Shangqiu's handling of this matter...... In Shi's opinion, although it is very unexpected, there is not much wrong.

At least the initiative was seized, but the fanfare of praise could trigger speculation elsewhere, so much so that they directly rioted in various cities, without considering the actual situation.

If it is successful, it will be a great achievement, and if it is defeated, it will be excluded internally, which is not good.

Therefore, he first stated that this matter must be carefully investigated before giving a conclusion.

Is it a last resort?

Was it an internal vote?

Is it true that I didn't hear the wind before, so I didn't have time to report it?

Was it a trade-off between the pros and cons?

All these need to be investigated by the people of the Supervision and Inspection Department, and finally a conclusion is given.

Shi has always maintained a steady attitude, not for anything else, but because of the historical lessons given by the first emperor of later generations.

Without enough cadres, not enough popular base and propaganda, even if the world is unified, it is likely that the aristocracy will seize the opportunity to rebel.

Another strategy of first Chu and then the Central Plains has always been set, and the Song State and the Central Plains region are not a top priority.

He has a steady attitude, among the seven evils are both radical opportunistic and non-compromised, and he can only talk about this matter as a giant, talking about the need to be investigated and then given praise and a low-key attitude.

There was no objection to this attitude.

One said: "Now that Shangqiu is in the hands of the Dai clan and us, what should we do next?" Is it to continue the riot, with the help of the power of popular anger this time, let Dai take power first, and then expel Dai? Still is...... Or continue to allow the Dai clan to take over the government of the Song State? ”

This kind of thing involves so much that it seems to be a simple issue, but in fact it involves a possible internal struggle in the future.

If the situation is very unfavorable in the future if the situation continues to be carried out with the help of the people, and the countries jointly send troops to cause a difficult situation in Sishang, then those who support the continuation of the riot will be questioned.

At the very least, you can't take off the hat of a wrong line, and the next time you elect the Seven Enlightenments, you will definitely be questioned and criticized.

If it is said that it supports Dai's capture of the Song Dynasty, if the Dai family will stabilize the situation in the future and kick the Mo family away and become the vanguard of the anti-Mexico movement, then those who support Dai's taking the Song Dynasty today will also be questioned.

There is always a need for someone to carry the pot, and the organizational structure of the Mo family also has an advantage, that is, the giant can actually carry all the pots.

Because the pot is a mistake, if everyone is at fault, then it is a mistake in the organizational model and organizational method, which will shake the foundation of the Mo family, so it is best to be carried by one person.

This question was thrown to Shi, Shi pondered for a while, but he didn't think too much about it, and said: "In my opinion, Dai's taking the Song is beneficial to the great cause of the world." ”

"First, the current situation in Shangqiu cannot be controlled by the Dai family. He needs our help. ”

"Second, it takes time to benefit the great cause of the world, and it also takes time for the Dai family to sort out the national politics of the Song State and gather power. Time is in our favor. ”

"Third, that is, the idea of the emperor's father, Yue Ling, since he wants to use the power of Wei Chuhan to deal with us, we must also give Wei Chuhan a step down."

"The matter of Shangqiu, although it happened suddenly, it may not lead to a new round of war in the Central Plains."

He can be regarded as giving a statement, but in addition to his statement, there must be enough analysis to convince the rest of the people, and he cannot directly give a conclusion, which is also the internal rule of the Mo family.

However, after analyzing such a thing, after Shi expressed his attitude, Qiwu, who was considered a younger generation of his descendants, followed up and said: "The giant son's idea is right. ”

"Whether Wei, Chu and Han countries fight or not depends not on the emperor's father, Yue Ling, but on our attitude."

"If we quickly control the situation in the Song State and give Wei Chuhan a step down, they may not be able to send troops. At this level, the Song State continued to remain neutral, did not participate in the disputes of various countries, and did not allow the garrison of troops from various countries. ”

"Yuli, the Song State is actually our forbidden country, others can't take it away, what we need is just a buffer country, a buffer country that is close to us, at least will not oppose us."

"The production, grain, silk, and trade of the Song Kingdom are actually controlled by us. As for the population, as long as we allow the Song State to redivide the land and break the patriarchal ritual system of the feudal system, the population will naturally flow to us. ”

"Outside, the state of Chu is in a critical period of change, Korea has no interest in the Song and is only pondering the annexation of Zheng, and the state of Wei is panicking that we and the state of Qin are advancing east and west."

"As long as we have a sufficient attitude, an attitude that will do whatever it takes to maintain our interests in the Song Kingdom, they will hesitate and consider the price they will bear."

"When the time comes, with the neutrality of the Song Kingdom as a step, they can also take a step back, at least give an explanation to the domestic nobles."

"We must be clear that the monarchs of various countries themselves may not have the will to fight, such as the king of Chu, he simply does not have the energy to start such a war now."

But they had to convince the nobles of the country that there was at least one justifiable reason. Still in terms of the Chu State, Xiong Suke's biggest enemy now is not us, but the feudal monarch of the Chu State. ”

"We can't just think about our difficulties, we have to put ourselves in the shoes of the bears and think about this matter."

"Fight, then you must compromise with the nobles, and everything you have done before to change the law will be in vain."

"If you don't fight, if there is no justifiable reason, the nobles are only afraid that they will force the palace."

"As for Qi Yue, if Wei Chuhan doesn't move, they won't dare to move, their attitude depends on Wei Chuhan."

"In turn, Wei Chuhan's attitude depends on us. The faster the situation in the Song Kingdom calmed down, the less likely it was that they would send troops. ”

"So the external situation is still for us, but it is still within us."

"As long as we are united internally, with one heart and one mind, and make a general mobilization at the expense of triggering the Second Central Plains War, the three kingdoms of Wei, Chu and Han will be weak, and even do not hesitate to use appeasement to acquiesce to the status quo of the Song State, so that we will not fight with them."

The First Central Plains War refers to the melee five years ago involving Zhongshan, Chu, Wei, Qi, Sishang, Han, Zhao and other countries.

I can't help but think of the saying that if you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace, but there are many issues that need to be considered at this time.

Wei Chuhan's attitude can't just rely on his own judgment and guess, but he can't be too passive and wait for them to react first.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Actually, the imperial father Yue Ling made a mistake, he overestimated the importance of the rules and laws of the old era. ”

"The coup d'état twenty years ago, even if we didn't participate, the Song Kingdom would be chaotic, we don't have the ability to create a chaos, we can only borrow such chaos when chaos comes."

"The three families were divided into Jin, the Tian family was divided into Qi, the Qin State was reformed, the Chu State was changed, plus the Zheng State was divided into three points, the Siziyang Rebellion, and the Song Civil Strife...... All of this says one thing. ”

"That is, the world under the rules of the old era and the patriarchal system and etiquette can no longer exist, and it must be changed."

"Twenty years ago, our Mohists talked about the virtuous, the noble are not always noble, equality, and the selection of the virtuous as the Son of Heaven, but in addition to the Confucian thought that we have no father, it is recognized in all countries."

"Why? Because before this, those scholars in the world had realized that relying on the old laws and rules and patriarchal system, they could no longer continue to rule, and the world would inevitably change. ”

"Therefore, hundreds of schools of thought contend, and people all over the world are disciples of various families, even if it is a self-serving and self-interested Wujun scholar like Yang Zhu, there are many disciples."

He paused for a moment and looked at the two humanists who had always thought that Wei Chuhan would inevitably send troops to intervene: "If the old rules are really so important, and the patriarchal division is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then our doctrine and Yang Zhu's doctrine will not cause controversy in the world, but will be ridiculed as heresy and disdainful, no one will believe it, and it will not be able to make any waves." ”

"The rebellions of Jin, Qin, Qi, Chu, and Zheng made everyone in the world understand that the rules of the old era were wrong."

"But! New rules have not yet been established, our rules are a possibility, and their rules are also a possibility, but there is no new system of the world that makes people take it for granted, and the whole world thinks that it should be like this, and it cannot be changed. Ours and theirs. ”

Therefore, whether it is the choice of the Son of Heaven or equality and love, the result is that some people oppose it, but the content of the opposition is a careful analysis of the chaos that may be caused by all kinds of possibilities, equality and love...... However, except for Confucianism, no one directly said that this heavenly principle was intolerable, and no one else felt that the rules of the old era were natural and unchangeable, but only examined our morality and looked for loopholes in it. ”

"If you say...... As soon as our doctrine comes out, the people think it is ridiculous that the Son of Heaven is not optional, and the scholars think that equality is simply contrary to human morality, then it can be said that the whole world will oppose us. ”

"But not now, so people all over the world have more of such an attitude towards us: look at it and watch the after-effects. Even the majority of the low-ranking nobles and the nobles who have lost their status and those who aspire to equality are included. ”

"That's the biggest difficulty for countries to send troops. The soldiers are composed of people, even if it is the king of Wei Hou Chu, he needs soldiers, soldiers on top of soldiers, and doctors on top of soldiers. ”

"The corporal of the world will choose to faithfully carry out the king's orders, but in their hearts they do not think that our sins are unforgivable."

"As for the people at the bottom who are soldiers, we have done one thing in the Qi country, that is, we have captured the prisoners and released them back. The consequences of this incident may have seemed to be just a small profit at the time, but looking at it now, the King of Chu and the Marquis of Wei must also consider one thing: what if their soldiers are captured by us, and there is another big defeat, and those captives are 'bewitched' by us and return to the country? ”

He looked at everyone with a smile, looked around and said, "Emperor Father Yue Ling thinks that by raising the banner of anti-ink, he can be recognized by the world, but he forgot one thing...... The world, even the countries of Chu and Wei, is not a single person, but a whole composed of tens of millions of people, and everyone has different ideas. ”

"Anti-ink, what is it against? It's our morality. ”

"What is our morality?"

"Shangxian, equality, love, stability in the world, prosperity of the people, no three troubles, no war."

"Well, he held high the banner of anti-Ink...... That's interesting. He is against Shangxian, that is to say, he wants to block the way of the rise of scholars and down-and-out nobles; anti-equality, that is, to make those heroes with great ambitions inferior; anti-love, that is, I hope that the people of the world will fight and shed blood; Anti-world stability, anti-people's prosperity, anti-freedom from three troubles......"

"He thought he was raising his arms and shouting in response, and I thought it was a joke. Because most of the people may not know our profound morality, but they know that we oppose war, hope that the people will be rich, bring many new tools and seeds to the world so that the people will no longer be hungry, and the people like to divide the good from the bad, except for those places in the Song Kingdom that have developed and tasted the suffering of the new era, the rest still think that we are...... Good. ”

"In the eyes of the Chu people, how old is his imperial father Yue Ling? When it comes to fame, how can it compare with us? Why did he let the world gather to respond? “
