On the eve of turmoil, it was chaotic.

It was like the darkness before dawn, there was no moon or sun, it was pitch black, everything was unrecognizable, and no one could tell clearly.

Perhaps one day he was the executioner who proposed the slaughter of the people, and the next day he became a pioneer in the pursuit of the people's interests.

If this was just a coup d'état, it would be normal for the nobles to be in harmony with each other, just as the Taizhu jumped against the coup d'état and made the winner of the coup become the Duke of Song.

Such as Zheyangzi and Ji Sunluan who was kept in the dark, the actions of these people are indispensable factors for a coup d'état.

The Mo family is Shangxian, which is one of the core doctrines of the Mo family.

But before the emergence of this world, before the beginning of agricultural and technological changes in Sishang, when the Mohists used most of the technical income monopolized by workshops to start education, and a large number of people who received basic education were sent to the villages and communities in Sishang by force, who could become virtuous?

At the very least, if you are a nobleman of the lowest rank, it is possible to become a virtuous person.

Because reading and literacy requires a certain amount of work, and without wealth, bloodline, and fiefdom, it is very impossible to become a "virtuous" talent.

People like Zheyangzi can become "virtuous", because the Mo family talks: non-righteousness is not rich, and non-righteousness is not expensive. And the Mohists also said that in ancient times, ten people had ten righteousness, and one hundred people had one hundred righteousness, and this wealth was related to righteousness, but this righteousness was not fixed.

The Mo family spent a lot of money and hibernation for a lot of time in Sishang, all in order to make the word "Shangxian" become a real "Shangxian", otherwise it would just be a continuation of the bloodline theory - farmers are not unvirtuous, but they do not have money and enough time to study, how can they be virtuous?

If it weren't for the dormant and forbearant education in Sishang for more than ten years, and without the military barracks of the righteous teachers running into enlightenment schools over the years, Fei Guo's affairs today would not have been able to jump out of the core of a coup d'état after all.

It's just that the Shang Xian of the Mo family provided a "justification" for such a coup, and in the end, the "sages" who came to power were still nobles, because only they could acquire enough knowledge.

But this time, unlike in the past, the difference lies in the people waiting for news in front of the palace.

This was the first time in the history of the world that the Chinese people took the initiative to pursue their own interests, because those people in short brown ragged clothes and sweet potatoes stood in front of the palace door, so all this became different, and it was no longer a coup d'état.

When Ji Sunluan, who was not welcomed, half took the initiative and half was lured to change the economic attribute class, the concubine clan and Wei Rang planned how to buy weapons and launch a coup d'état.

In order to always be able to ride others without being ridden by others, an old aristocratic careerist like Zheyangzi was ready to change from an executioner who did not hesitate to spend a decade of blood two days ago to a standard-bearer for the benefit of the people and pondered the details.

When Fei Jun hesitated to launch a "holy war" against the Mo family and maintain the etiquette system, he was worried that the nobles would oppose it because of the Mo family's imminent attack.

The nobles in the Fei country thought that this matter could be relied on "the law is innocent, and the etiquette is innocent." The ancient system is so immutable; The respect of the law of etiquette cannot be abolished" when it comes to prevaricate the people of the country.

The true force of this revolution was silent before the palace, so long that the nobles who were good at coups had forgotten their existence.

The aristocrats always felt that the people could take advantage of it, but they could not rely on it, so they turned their hands into clouds and turned their hands into rain, and one after another murdered kings and coups d'état were constantly changing the soup without changing the medicine.

But this time, some of these silent people decided to change both the soup and the medicine.

So this incident in the capital of Fei is very different from those things in the past.

Among the crowd gathered in front of the palace room, there was such a very ordinary person.

He was in his thirties, with a square face, a black face, short brown, straw sandals, and his forehead was covered with wrinkles left by the sun's exposure to moisturizing everything.

In general, the people gathered in front of the palace were like this.

Perhaps this person's name is Aoi, the Aoi of Sunflower Vegetables, which is a vegetable that farmers often use to replace insufficient corn, and it is also a common name among farmers.

Or because of the local language, because there is no surname, people occasionally often call Ah Kui.

At this time, Aoi was holding a black, sweet potato noodle nest in his hand, chewing and cursing to the person next to him: "I don't think the monarch has the heart to change, even if he gives birth to a child, he is not so slow, my wife pulled it out when she gave birth to the third baby, how many days has it been?" ”

"If you want me to say, Xu Wan said it very well, but it doesn't make sense. Isn't the Mo family unreasonable and not polite? I don't think Xu Weak's reasoning is clear, and it is not as clear as the representative of Lian when we were a righteous teacher. ”

"Faith in the king? Hum...... It is better to believe that tigers do not eat people, wolves do not eat meat, dogs do not eat, and cows do not eat grass! ”

The mouth full of vulgar words does not affect Aoi's appetite, this black sweet potato noodle nest tastes a little bitter, not very delicious, but no matter how you say it, it is better than his name Aoi Cai.

Many years ago, sweet potatoes were introduced to the country and became an important food for surviving the famine years. If you want to eat sweet potatoes like grain, you have to dry sweet potatoes, which are not the bright yellow ones that are dried after they are cooked, but when they are raw, they are dried and then ground into powder for storage, and they will become moldy on a slightly rainy day, and then they will ripple out on the tip of the tongue with a bitter taste that is difficult for nobles to swallow.

The existence of such food allows Aoi to stand here now, otherwise he would have chosen to flee a long time ago.

The words that are scolding in his mouth now, some people who knew him in his early years, may remember the words that Aoi used to say many years ago, but they are completely different from these.

Many years ago, when the name and morality of the Mo family had not yet spread to the country of Fei, the people of Aoi would always say something that made people "awe-inspired".

At that time, he would tell others that he was also a bird, and he was the same ancestor as the monarch and the six kings. At this time, there is no such word as this family, but the general meaning is not bad.

Bo Yu is the nephew of King Wu after the Duke of Zhou. Ji You was born to Wen Jiang, although Wen Jiang and his brother committed adultery, and everyone in the country knows about it, but there is no evidence that Ji You is the species of Qi Hou.

Moreover, it doesn't matter whose seed it is, it is important to recognize who is the father under the patriarchal system, just like Tian's concubines let the guests go up and keep the seeds, but these sons will not go to find their fathers and will only recognize the legal fathers under the patriarchal law, so "Shu farmers" like Aoi say that they and the monarch are their own family, which is not bad.

At this time, I don't know how many generations have passed since the bird, under the patriarchal separation, the son gives birth to a doctor, the doctor gives birth to a concubine, and the concubine born from the scholar is the common people.

At that time, Aoi's words were often admired, what kind of person is a nobleman, naturally he will not surrender his identity and slap Aoi and ask You are also worthy of the surname Ji?

At that time, Aoi often told stories about the delay of the government, and every time he talked about it, his face glowed as if he had drunk sour wine, and it always sounded like his ancestor.

If there are too many such stories, the people who listen to them will get tired of it, and after a long time, no one will listen to them.

A few years ago, after the first battle of the water, it was decided that the alliance would not be attacked, and the Fei country would also train righteous teachers.

The person who was in charge of military service did not exempt Aoi from military service because she was a bird, but Aoi scolded and went to serve in the righteous division, and only scolded the ancestors of those who let him serve in his heart.

When she arrived at the Volunteer Master, Aoi thought it was drudgery, but she didn't want to eat food first, wash her face with soap, give her clothes to make military gifts, and the Soldiers' Committee was in charge of the food allowance, and then she learned to read and write, learned a few "idioms", learned how to plant reasonably, learned how to weave reed mats from her partners, and relied on her identity as a member of the Volunteer Teacher to repay the loan and knocked down two iron sickles, a shovel, an iron plow, and many sweet potato potato and carrot seeds.

The officers and soldiers in the volunteer division are equal, and there is little corporal punishment, and Aoi was punished for squatting for three days and picking up dung for ten days for the nearby village community.

That punishment was in the third year of his entry into the volunteer teacher, that is, half a year before he could retire and go home to take away the food and vegetable money accumulated on weekdays and borrow an iron plough with his neighbors and partners.

It's not a big deal, it's just that the neighbor who served with him once made a joke and said: "You used to say that you were a bird all day long, and you were the same ancestor as the monarch, why didn't the monarch even give you a bone when he was eating?" You're his relative, why don't you eat as well as his dog? ”

This is also some of the things that are often said in the righteous teacher, or the task of the representative of the company and the content of the righteousness proclaimed every ten years, which attracted the laughter of the people of the company.

There is a way to hit people without slapping their faces, if this matter is someone else, they may be shy and laugh at it, but Aoi has served in the righteous teacher for two or three years, and every time he recalls the "stupid words" he said in the past, he blushes, wishing that he had never said those things that made him feel disgusting before.

When he heard his neighbors laughing at what he thought was a "shame scar", his face turned red, but he didn't scold, and he started with the ability to train in the volunteer teacher for two years.

As a result, he was smashed open by the company commander with two fists, squatted for a few days and didn't say anything, and had to pick up dung to reflect.

Fortunately, after coming back, the company sent him a sentence, which was "shame, and then courage". Even the deputy told him: "It is a good thing to know the shame of the past, which means that you can clearly distinguish between what is glory and what is shame, and you will not do those things that make you feel ashamed in the future." What is terrible is not shame, but what is terrible is not shame but pride. ”

Others also talk about shame and bravery, and the Mohists also talk about shame and bravery, the difference is only what is shame and what is bravery, which is the key, and this is an important factor in why there are representatives of Lian among the righteous teachers.

After three or four years of service, when I went home again, I planted crops and wanted to live a good life but increased taxes, and most of the wheat flour I grew paid taxes and served in labor, and I could only eat dried sweet potatoes.

Fortunately, he is not limited, and the experience of serving in the inky dye vat of the righteous master has changed from the one who often talks about himself with a ruddy face and talking about himself as a bird, to a Aoi who often gathers in the mill and can scold the eighteenth generation of the monarch's ancestors in his mouth.
