Shixin supported Zhongshan to rise up against Wei at this time, because it would be beneficial for the Mo family to sweep the world in the future.

However, how to support it, and with what kind of reasons to support it, because there is the existence of the supreme rule of "morality" of the Mo family, it must be justified.

If you don't talk about politics and lose morality, then all the support of the Mohists for Zhongshan will be no different from those of the Zongheng who only talk about diplomatic interests.

This must be made clear.

Otherwise, the Mo family shouts to the left, but the legs and feet turn to the right, then the Mo family will lose its biggest reliance - the support of passionate young people who agree with the righteousness of the Mo family in the world.

Although the orchestra pit is from an aristocratic background, because of the Leyang Leshu, the growth environment is not the same as that of ordinary nobles.

He admires the achievements of the Mo family in recent years.

The Mo family does not live in Luoyi, but cherishes the world.

The Mo family does not seal the size, but governs the people.

Moreover, more and more low-level civilians from the Mo family have stepped onto the stage, which also makes the orchestra pit have its own identity with the Mo family's statement of equality.

It's just that his identification is still taken out of context.

For characters like Le Chi, the requirements for equality are: seeking equality from above, seeking hierarchy from below, in short, everyone above the self is equal, and this category of equality lies in the position of "I", rather than the equality of "everyone in the world is a minister of heaven" as mentioned by Mohist.

Because if the support hierarchy is strict, then there is no future for a character like him. After all, the Le family is a branch of the surname, and Le Yang's origin depends on being a guest of Zhai Huang of Wei State.

But if everyone who supports the Mo family is equal, then a figure like him will not be superior. What such a class needs is to drive out those old aristocrats and come to power as new aristocrats.

This kind of hidden distinction Le Chi himself is not aware of, what he likes may only be behind the sentence "choose the sage as the son of heaven", there is the possibility that he may also become the son of heaven of the monarch and princes.

Therefore, what he admires is not the feelings of these ink people who will not spin their heels for the benefit of the world, but only the fact that such a shoemaker's son can climb to the top of the Mo family.

As far as the world is concerned, the Mo family is already considered a non-national country, and after the battle between the water and the aid, it is already one of the strongest in the world.

Just like after the restoration of the Zhongshan State, he thought that he could attack the Yan State, and the Yan State was still early to be reborn after being destroyed by the Qi State, and the Mo family replaced the status of the Yue State as the "Tiger Country" and became a great power that could influence the situation in the world.

This time, the relict of Zhongshan wants to restore the country, and the only force that can be relied on is the Mo family.

The tension of the orchestra pit ranged from the uneasiness of seeing the legendary admirer, to the fear that he had said the wrong thing and annoyed the Mo family and cut off the Mo family's support.

Seeing that Lechi asked, he asked rhetorically: "Zhongshan has returned to the country, this matter is confidential." As a confidant of Zhongshan Jun, what considerations do you think is the right way to come to Sishang? Whose advice is this? ”

Le Chi got up and bowed: "My father is the general of Zhongshan, and my grandfather destroyed Zhongshan." I don't have the skill of size, so I want to follow the technique of Shen Baoxu and cry Qin, and make meritorious contributions to the great cause of restoring the country. Those who are virtuous should be in a high position to benefit the people of a country. ”

He felt that the Mo family would like this statement, and perhaps it was his own heart. A virtuous person should have fame and fortune in his body and be in a high position, so that he can live up to his talents and benefit the world, which Le Chi thinks the Mo family should like.

In the past, Shen Baoxu did not reveal the conspiracy of his best friend Wu Zixu, so that the Chu State was subverted. Shen Baoxu begged Qin to send troops to rescue Chu and revive the Chu state.

This allusion to the orchestra pit is the most appropriate, Wu Zixu, who destroyed the Chu State, was a close friend of Shen Baoxu, and it was the musician who destroyed Zhongshan.

Le Chi said: "Besides, the Mo family's words are not attacking, the strong do not take the weak, and the big is not greedy for the small. In my opinion, the restoration of the country is in line with the righteousness of the Mohists, and it is to ask for the help of the Mohists. ”

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as you say this, Shi immediately said: "This is false." ”

"In the Sishang countries, the restoration of the Mohist family is for the benefit of the world by doing righteousness. The country has no way, the politics is dark, and the system has hindered the increase of people's wealth, so that the people have three troubles. ”

"What is in line with the righteousness of the Mohists is not the restoration of the country, but the government of Shangxian after the restoration of the country. This is something to figure out. ”

"For example, the Mohists like green, so they like leaves. You are holding a red leaf and thinking that the Mo family prefers leaves over green, which is a mistake. ”

Although Le Chi was a little nervous, he couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that if the Yue Kingdom practices benevolent and righteous politics and benefits the people of the world, then the Mo family will let it go and don't want to help the weak restore the country?" Even if the Yue Kingdom has the heart to sweep the world, won't the Mo family care? ”

This is exactly the "name" of the Mo family to compete for the world in the future, where can there be a little hesitation and slowness, and immediately said solemnly: "That's true." Therefore, it is the truth of the Mohists to punish the unrighteous for righteousness. ”

When the orchestra pit heard this, he was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he said: "I know how the Mo family has succeeded today, it is precisely that everything is in order, words are the same, and actions are the same, which is something we can't have." ”

"But Gongzi Zhi is not virtuous, the fief Zhongshan is the king, there is a lot of tyranny, and the people are miserable."

Shi nodded and said, "Then that's another matter." The Mohists are based on the rule of doing righteousness and benefiting the world. Do what meets the rules, and don't do what doesn't. ”

"If you restore a certain country, it can benefit the world, and this can be done. And you can't say that the Mo family likes to help people restore the country. If this point is not clear, there is no need for us to continue to talk about it. ”

The orchestra pit is young after all, where can he talk about these things with Shi, who is already middle-aged.

Seeing Shi's unhappy face, Le Chi was both worried and a little admired in his heart, saying that the people of the Mo family behaved in a good manner, and they had heard a lot, and it was a little surprising to see the high-level figures of the Mo family today.

Before he came, he prepared a lot of rhetoric, knowing that the Mohists talked about rules and liked to debate, so the orchestra pit prepared many questions to prove the legitimacy of Zhongshan's restoration.

From the time when the Zhongshan people formed a tribe, to the Wu Gong learning the customs of the Central Plains and formulating the rules and regulations, in order to prove that Zhongshan was legal, and to prove that it was wrong for Wei to annex Zhongshan by relying on the strong and bullying the weak.

I don't want to, all this preparation is useless, the meaning of the Mo family is that it does not recognize any legal principles at all, even if it is a feudal country in the era of King Wu of Zhou, the Mo family now only distinguishes between righteousness and injustice.

Le Chi has read a lot of Mohist articles and books, but it is obvious that the Mohist line has gradually changed in recent years, and some of the correct principles of the Mozi era have now begun to explain why they were correct back then and why they can't be cut to fit now.

After all, these changes were not missed by the orchestra pit in Sishang.

In fact, the Mo family now also has a request for Zhongshan Kingdom, at least to use each other, but the monarch of Zhongshan Kingdom and Le Chi did not understand the general trend of the world at all, and finally fell behind.

Slightly tempted, Shi judged from the somewhat nervous and panicked tone of the orchestra pit that Zhongshan Kingdom did not realize that the Mo family now also needed the restoration of Zhongshan Kingdom to contain Wei State.

Since the other side did not see it, then the bottom line of the two sides is completely different, and what Shi said just now is to grasp the initiative in this negotiation.

Create a false impression: You are in a hurry to restore the country, but whether the Mo family supports it or not is not necessarily.

So he called someone, brought a few books, put them on the table, and said, "If you want to do the government of benevolence, righteousness and benefit the people, I have three books that I can teach you, but I think you have read them." ”

The orchestra pit glanced at it and found that the three pamphlets on the table were "The Wealth of Nations", "On the Government", and "A Compilation of Hundreds of Strange Techniques of Cropping".

Except for the new "On Government", the other two orchestra pits have been read, but in fact, the orchestra pit doesn't like to read it.

He prefers to read the Mo family's books on city defense, military formations, gunpowder era tactics, and so on, and these three are too ...... Tedious.

"The Wealth of Nations" is a Mohist theory on the economy, based on the creation of wealth through labor, how to give full play to the advantages of the era of iron cattle ploughing and water power, so that the system can increase the wealth created by everyone, and at most it is beneficial to the world.

The basis of human nature in this pamphlet is that human nature is free from evil and good, and that profit-seeking is human nature under economic assumptions, and explains some economic problems in this way.

Going deeper, this pamphlet was actually a battle manifesto to overthrow the rationality of the aristocratic fiefdoms, and provided reasonable support for the peasants and businessmen to seek benefits and ban the aristocratic regime.

"On Politics" is based on the self-interest of human nature, the disagreement of the ancients, and the righteousness of all people as the law, etc., and carries out some improvements and checks and balances in the construction of government power.

The last book, "Compilation of Hundred Crafts and Miraculous Techniques", belongs to some technical issues.

This is a book that Mozi had already begun to organize before his death, and Mozi had already seen the intention of these books at that time.

The saying of "The Wealth of Nations" is to say that it is reasonable for the people to seek profit and overthrow the aristocracy. "On Politics" teaches the people how to build a new system after overthrowing the aristocracy.

Taking King Wu as an analogy, then the former book is the Mo family's "Mandate of Heaven", and the latter book is the Mo family's "Zhou Li".

The Mohist books on military affairs and technology are interlocking, and the Mohist books on military technology are excessively in-between: to overthrow them by violence requires the study of military knowledge and technology.

The intention of this is naturally unclear to the orchestra pit. But when he saw these three books coming out, Le Chi's face changed slightly.

Although I haven't read much, it would be a dream story to carry out institutional changes after the restoration of Japan according to the contents of these three books.

The main force of the restoration is all nobles, how can it be that the purpose of the restoration is to drive themselves away?

Although I haven't read the new booklet "On Politics", I can think that the contents may be more terrifying than "The Wealth of Nations" if you look at the title of the book.

He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and picked up the most harmless third book: "Nothing can be done overnight. With these three books, we can carry out a government that benefits the people, and one of them can be regarded as beneficial to the people. Take one of the three, compared with nothing, it can also be said to be beneficial. ”

Hearing this, he shook his head and nodded, noncommittal.

The orchestra pit shook his head when he first saw Shi, panicking in his heart, thinking that his choice was annoying, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to do anything.

Later, Shi nodded again, although it was not perfect, but after all, it could be regarded as agreeing, and he was very happy in his heart, and was about to say that once the country was restored, he would promote the magic skills to benefit the people, but Shi asked: "The content of these three books is not mentioned for the time being, if you want to restore the country, what are your plans?" ”

"Zhongshan is at risk of Taixing, but it is surrounded by Zhaoyi. According to the Wei people, the son is incompetent, and you may succeed. But you can't ignore Zhao Guo's attitude, do you have any plans for this? ”

In the matter of Fei Guosi, the Mo family set a general strategy for resolving the possibility of intervention in Zhao State, so even if the matter of using Zhongshan State to restore the country, it must be carried out within this general plan. Rational use of Zhongshan to achieve the goal of disintegrating the Three Jin Alliance
