Chapter Seventy-Eight: Meritorious Service

Sixteen-year-old Wei Ying talked eloquently in front of everyone, seemingly light and light, but in fact, his heart was also pounding and nervous.

At this time, there is no Jixia School Palace, and it is unlikely that there will be Jixia School Palace again, the rise of Si Shang, making the academic center of Zhuxia difficult to move, the original Qilu, Wei Xihe two corporal situation has changed greatly, Sishang is now the academic center of Zhuxia.

Those who want to become famous, those who want to move the world, seems to be the shortest road, that is, to become famous in Sishang, once you become famous, you can be known to the world.

Wei Ying is a closed-door disciple of the corpse, intelligent and intelligent, and has been fond of the study of criminal names since he was a child.

Li Kui's changes, Wu Qi's changes, Deng Xi's bamboo punishment, etc., he all shot and hunted. The military merit itself is the abuse of the Three Jin Dynasty, and Zhao Zi's sentence Tian 100,000 can be regarded as the ancestor of the military merit, and everything Wei Ying learned under the influence of this has the imprint of the environment.

He was gifted and intelligent, young and ambitious, eager to become famous and make contributions, so he did not study abroad to join the Mo family, because it was too difficult to become famous within the Mo family - the theoretical system of the Mo family has been stabilized, and the successors are at most tinkering with the ruts, and it is too difficult to become famous in one fell swoop as Wu Qi once was under the strict organizational discipline within the Mo family.

If you want to become famous as a scholar, the fastest way is to go to Sishang, but don't join the Mo family, because once you join the Mo family, you can only become a member of the organization in this life, like a drop of water in the sea.

The sea is vast and thousands of people admire, but no one will admire a drop of water in the sea.

The main reason why he can become famous in Sishang is that the Mojia giants, whether they are Mozi or Fowl or today's Shi, they are first and foremost the leaders of a school, and then they are the rulers of the Sishang regime.

It is of course good to be praised by people in the art industry, but the meaning of being praised by people of different identities is very different.

People of various schools are now gathered in Si, as long as they can get a word or two of their appreciation, or can refute one of them for a while, then from Chu Zhi Cangwu to Yan Zhi Guzhu; From the East China Sea of Qi to the desert of Qin, the world will hear its name within a few years.

His husband Corpse is not a member of the Mo family, but he has some places to communicate with the Mo family in terms of cosmology, and the concept of the universe was also the first to be put forward by the corpse: the four directions are called the universe, and the past and the present are called the universe.

The corpse gives an accurate definition of the universe, that is, infinite time and space.

If you really give him the name of a school, he can be regarded as a miscellaneous family, not the kind of miscellaneous of Lü Buwei, but an intermediate product of the Confucian-Mo conflict, and a miscellaneous family of Taoism and Confucianism and Momo absorbing Confucianism.

He was also the first to give the concept of "the people are the water, the king is the fish, the fish will die if there is no water, and the water will still exist if the fish dies", and it had a great impact on the Confucian reforms launched by Mencius in later generations.

It's just that he, a miscellaneous family, supports an absolute monarchy, and his closed disciple Wei Ying also grew up under the background of the Sanjin culture, which can be described as a friend who forgot his years.

After all, the first changes started by the Three Jin Dynasty, such as the military merit and the granting of the field criminal law, all originated from the Three Jin Dynasty, and many of the corpses had their own ideas, which were not quite consistent with the Mo family.

Before the Mohists were properly reformed, the morality of the Mohists was a variant of Leviathan, and at that time, due to the limitations of the times, the means that could be thought of to restrain the monarch used the supervision of gods and ghosts similar to religion to force the king not to do evil.

With the change of the times, the power of the people gradually awakened, and the contradiction between the monarch and the nobility intensified, which made the Mohists also force Confucianism to change, and finally Taoism was also influenced by both sides and some people tried to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides, which finally opened the era of a hundred schools of thought.

At the great debate four years ago, the corpse and the right discussed space and time, and discussed the "relativity" of the up, down, left, and right, which made the final supplement to the Mohist theory that the earth is round: because the up, down, left and right are relative, and there is no absolute meaning in infinite space, even if the earth is round, the top of the head of the person under his feet is still up, not down, which also solves the doubts of many scholars—if the earth is round, then the person under his feet is not head-down?

It can be said that without the corpse's argument about the universe, space and time, it is somewhat difficult for the Mohist doctrine that the earth is round to the whole of Kyushu, because the ability to explain in line with this era is definitely inferior to that of the corpse.

This is the consensus of the cosmology, but the political ideas put into the earthly world, the differences between the two sides are actually very large.

In terms of logic and cosmology, the corpse is very close to the Mohists, for example, the concepts of the unity of reality and name, the continuity and inseparability of time and space, the relative and the absolute, etc., which have always been emphasized in the "Mo Debate", which can be said to be influenced or said to have their own understanding.

At the same time, he also supported the Mo family's doctrine of Shangxian, Ba Buxiao, and Gui Wuheng and Noble and Cheap, and even supported the theory of "Ba Buxiao", which was obviously to lift the aristocratic job.

But there are many differences, the corpse is in favor of absolute monarchy, because of the appropriate correction, so that the Mohists do not support absolute monarchy, but inherit and develop "everything is above, and there is a slander", forming a new political system.

After integrating the Mohist and Confucian culture, the corpse put forward the statement of "taking wealth as benevolence and strength as righteousness", abandoning Confucianism's original right to interpret benevolence and disagreeing with Mohist's idea that benevolence is love.

The corpse believes that absolute monarchy and justifiable punishment can make the domestic aristocracy restrained, so that the interests of the people can be protected to a certain extent, and can also minimize internal friction and make the country strong.

Under the premise of thinking that "the monarch is the fish and the people are the water", the monarch's power is infinitely strengthened, so that a dual structure of the people and the monarch is formed, so that the monarch becomes the symbol and executor of a country's sovereignty, if it can be done, then under this kind of absolute monarchy, the monarch does not need to embezzle property, because the whole country is the monarch's, and the sum of the people's wealth is the wealth of the country, that is, the wealth of the monarch, because the monarch is the sovereign entity of a country.

This is undoubtedly similar to some of the ideas of the Mohists before the large-scale revision of the Mohist theories began, and it is precisely because of the chaos in the world, the struggle for power of the aristocracy, the powerlessness of the monarch, and the suffering of the people that an idea that conforms to the times.

The corpse has no opinion on the Mo family, and has always thought that the Mo family's methods in Sishang are very in line with his ideas, and they have indeed achieved "wealth as benevolence and strength as righteousness", which seems to be a political system where power is concentrated and can do great things and suppress rebellion.

The corpse and his disciple Wei Ying discussed, and the results of the discussion were very subtle.

His disciple Wei Ying believes that the policy of Sishang is very good, but it is limited to Sishang, and cannot be copied elsewhere, and if you want to achieve fame, you can't not learn from the means of Sishang, but you must not copy the means of Sishang, because except for the Mohists, there is no other prince who has an organization of tens of thousands of comrades with the same righteousness and one heart and one mind, and it is simply a disaster to copy the practice of Sishang to go to other countries.

If you want to make achievements in other countries, you must support an absolute monarchy, govern the country with punishment, ban the superior and inferior, honor the virtuous and talented, suppress the aristocracy, and preferably achieve the level of "democratically elected, absolutely powerful, and hereditary princes".

It can not only borrow the power of the people, but also obtain the legal rationality of the throne in the general environment of the collapse of etiquette and happiness, which not only denies the legal principle that the power of the Son of Heaven is granted by the Son of Heaven and the power of the princes; Rather, it becomes the power of the prince and the people, and once granted, it is an irrevocable legal principle.

These words greatly inspired the corpse, and the young Wei Ying also put forward his own views on some schools of thought in the Hundred Schools of Thought.

He believes that the development of farmers depends on "true equality" to attract people.

The Mohists developed and grew by "hypocritical equality of personality hidden under property inequality" to attract people.

All the princes had to do was to choose "unequal equality clearly defined under strict laws" to strengthen the state.

That is, the law does not pursue any fairness, but only wants equality that everyone must abide by under the law, but it also clarifies the unequal status, and at the same time gives the bottom a ladder to climb up, only in this way can it develop and grow in the context of the collapse of etiquette and the Mohist family's pursuit of their own rights.

At this time, there are hundreds of schools of thought active in the world, even the most breezy Taoists, there is also a faction that has entered the WTO, as long as the heart of the world is in mind, there is always a heart of the world.

And for a young person, the temptation to make a name for himself, to take charge of a country, and to forge ahead bravely in a world of great contention is really an irresistible delicacy.

Wei Ying has always had great ambitions, he always wanted to achieve fame, and what he admired the most was Wu Qi, who swore to his mother that "if I don't mix well, I won't come back" and finally became famous all over the world.

This kind of ambition is also destined to make him not want to join the Mo family, because those who join the Mo family mostly think about the collectivism of "aspiring to be the world", and suppress the pursuit of fame that "moves the world", and it is true that there is no such thing as "one person shocks the world, one person strengthens one country" in Sishang, which is full of talents.

The people in Sishang are integrated into the organization and system, and after leaving Sishang, many people are just the posture of the Chinese people, and they do not have the talents of the world, but the organization and system of the Sishang are too good so that the people of the Chinese people can rely on this system to compete with the so-called top people in the world.

This is something that Wei Martingale does not like.

Besides, Sishang is already very strong, Sishang also has its own system organization, he is young, he should make contributions, why choose Sishang, who is destined to be drowned in the Mozi of creation, stable fowl, perfect for these three generations, and then destined to be forgotten even if he stands at the peak?

He wanted to make a contribution, he wanted to be fierce, and his husband provided him with this stage and opportunity, which is today's debate.
