Gong Zaoye touched the scar on his face and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that I overestimated my strength at the time, and I left such a scar, and he slashed a sword on the face." ”

Shi was shocked: "Your swordsmanship is not as good as his?" ”

Gongzaoye rarely showed a series of pride and said: "How can it be inferior? In this world's swordsmanship, I only serve the giant, how can others let me disobey in swordsmanship? ”

"What I mean by overestimation is that the strength between me and him is between the equals, not as simple as the giant beating me, I beating Luo Qianli, and Hu Feizi beating the general......

"Between the two of them, they can't help but do their best, and they can't be at ease. Actually, I'm still slightly better than half paid, and when he cuts my face, I can actually cut off his wrist. ”

"But I thought at the time, a broken face is nothing more than a broken appearance, a husband is standing in the world, when he is aspiring to be a good man in the world, how can he care about his face? But if he breaks his hand, I am afraid that he will be depressed for the rest of his life, unable to do righteousness, and there will be no chance to convince him to benefit the world. ”

"I took it away, and he knew that I did, but I didn't convince him like the giant beat me back then, after all, it's really just a thin line, and it's hard to tell the difference between victory and defeat in another fight."

When Gong Zaoye said this, he raised his head and smiled: "At that time, my face was full of blood, standing there to talk about the righteousness of the Mo family, but he didn't listen to it, only said that if I felt that I let him and let him feel guilty and enter the Mo family, it would be meaningless, so it would be better not to say it." And he said that he had cut my face, and that he would break it to repay me, so that I would not feel guilty for listening to me. ”

"Although his swordsmanship is high and his body is strong, he is extremely beautiful, and I can't bear it."

It's a little awkward to listen to, I can't think of how a strong man can be evaluated as extremely beautiful in life?

The people next to him also laughed, and Gong Zaoye shook his head with a smile and said: "He also has a sister, who was born from compatriots, and the two are similar in appearance, and his sister can be regarded as a beauty." ”

Oh, and suddenly figured out why Nie Zheng cut his face after assassinating Xia Ti in history, his mother had died at that time, and there was only one sister in the world, but I was afraid that it was because of the similarity in appearance, so he cut his face to prevent his sister from being harmed.

Just as Gongzaoye just said that Wu Qi killed more than 30 people, it was a ranger in the market, and he had his own rules in the market, and when the legal system was not sound and most of them were secret laws of the aristocracy, he couldn't manage it so widely, and there were underground rules.

But Nie Zheng later killed the Minister of South Korea, Han Hou's uncle, and Han Qian's younger brother...... That's not something that can be covered by the rules of the market.

Gong Zaoye sighed, and he didn't know what he remembered, and said: "He wants to break his face to repay the kindness of my subordinates, just so that he can be equal when communicating with me, otherwise he will always feel that I am relying on my subordinates to persuade him." ”

His sister looked at me with a pleading look in her eyes...... I said forget it, so I scolded him, only saying that he would naturally know what a gentleman's courage was in the future. I said that one day in the future, I will move the world with the courage of a gentleman, and I will come to reason with him again. He said that if there was a day when he saw the difference between the courage of a gentleman and the courage of my so-called small righteousness, he would naturally listen to me......"

We made a pact and parted unhappily. He only said that if my Mo family had something to ask for in the future, he would definitely help as a friend, but if he wanted him to join the Mo family, which had a lot of rules and discipline, it was absolutely impossible. ”

Shi was curious: "What about Wu Qi?" ”

Gong Zaoye said hesitantly: "Wu Qi saw that Nie Zheng and I finished fighting, and I probably knew that it might not be our two opponents, so I scattered my thoughts of becoming famous as a ranger." Talk to me. ”

Thinking about Wu Qi's character, he said in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for such a person to persuade him to join the Mo family, wouldn't his behavior be very similar to betraying Mo Shengxuan? It's all for fame and fame, regardless of the benefit of the world? Or that the benefit of the world in his eyes and the benefit of the Mo family are not the same thing at all.

When Gong Zaoye said this, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It was this exchange that Wu Qi knew the rules and morality of my Mo family, and felt that it was very incompatible with him. I told him about the fame of the Mo family, the righteous deeds such as stopping Chu from attacking the Song Dynasty, and what did I say that it is not to attack and love, to be the world's fen, and to be an official to benefit the world rather than fame and fortune......"

"After he heard this, he asked me why the Mo family could only be reused in Song, Lu, Wei, and Yue, which was defeated by the Chu State?"

Speaking of this, Gong Zaoye slapped the table and said, "I said the wrong thing at the time. I said that the world is full of warlike kings, and the country is small and weak, so we can use the non-offensive theory. For example, Lu Rusong is a small country, and there is no way to defend the city except for using giants......"

After listening to this, Wu Qi was stunned for a long time. The next day he departed. Later, I estimated that it was because of these words that he woke up. ”

"He has studied soldiers and swordsmanship, but the only thing he lacks is knowledge and history. So he ran to the country of Lu and worshiped Zeng Shen as a teacher. What does he value in Confucianism? Zeng Shen is a gentleman in the world and a moral watch, how could he Wu Qi learn these things? ”

"Later, the giant told me, and I understood. Zeng Shenzhi's learning, passed down by Zuo Qiu Ming, Zuo Qiu Ming is the Spring and Autumn and Chinese language, which is exactly what Wu Qi wants to learn. As for Zeng Shenzhiru, he was not interested, so his mother did not return. ”

"As for why I went to Lu country, it was probably because of what I said. Sanjin was strong at the time, he was a nobody, how did he become famous? So he went to Lu State first, Lu Country was small and invaded by Qi, and he could become famous. ”

"At that time, it was also a coincidence, when the giant went to Lu for the first time, Zhong Ni's grandson was in Lu, and Lu Hou didn't use the words of the giant son, and the giant went away in anger."

"Soon after, the State of Qi attacked Lu many times, and Lu Hou invited the giant again, and the giant told Lu Hou that there were two strategies."

"The best policy is to say that loyalty and righteousness, love the people, reform the system, be virtuous, abandon the words of Confucianism, and use force and reluctance, Qi does not dare to attack."

"The next policy is to be thick for the leather currency, humble rhetoric, urgent to pay tribute to the neighboring princes, drive the country and do everything, and the trouble can be saved for a while."

After thinking about it, I felt that Lu Guo was forced to that part at that time, it is said that even if the best policy cannot be used, the lower policy should be used, why did it still end up like that?

Gongzao Ye patted his forehead and said, "Hey...... At that time, Lu Hou hesitated. Later, I asked the giant son, saying that I have two sons, one is good at learning, and the other is good at dividing people's wealth, who thinks it is the prince? ”

Gong Zaoye laughed and said, "You also know, sir, this person speaks...... Straightforward and fast-hearted, and has always seen people thoroughly. ”

"Just say...... I don't know. Or what you do is rewarded and what you do. The courtesy of the angler is not for the fish; Bait rats and insects, not love. I hope that the sovereign will be in harmony with his will and deeds. The will and the heart, the wish of benefiting the country and the people. The meritorious person is abroad, and the country gains and benefits the people and the people get the ......"

Everyone laughed, knowing that this was Mozi's consistent behavior of speculating on people with a utilitarian heart, and it was in line with the Mohists' rhetoric of "benevolence and righteousness are unknown in the heart" and "the love and benefits are external, and they can be seen", but these words are indeed not so easy for people to accept.

Mozi is saying. It is not yet possible to know. The second son may have done so for the sake of reward and honor. The angler bows down, not as a sign of respect for the fish; Using bugs as bait to trap rats to eat bugs is not to love mice. It is estimated that these two children of yours are pretending, neither really love to read, nor do you really like to divide wealth into the people, but to show you.

So I want you Lu Hou to combine their motives and effects to observe, and see if their motives are for the benefit of the country and the people in the future? Can the effect of their work benefit the country and the people?

Both parents love their sons, and so does the monarch, Lu Hou heard Mozi say this about his son, saying that his son may be pretending, and his heart was very displeased, that is for sure.

Gong Zaoye said with a smile: "Not long after this incident, it was reported that the first few attacks on Lu were the main generals under Xiang Ziniu, and at that time he was not a rebel, but an important part of the Juzi's plan to 'persuade the princes to come out'. At that time, there were four people in the Qi Guotian clan who could be the head of the family, Gongsun Sun, Tian He, Tian Hao, and Xiang Ziniu...... Xiang Ziniu's strength was slightly stronger, so Juzi sent Sheng Xuan to think that in the future. ”

"Who knew that Gongsun Sun was the weakest, and the remaining three families first made him the head of the family, and then the two brothers Tian and Tian Hao got rid of Gongsun Sun, and Gongsun would be independent in Xiaqiu, Xiang Ziniu was forced to fight back and was also killed."

"At that time...... At that time, the grandson came to Lu and told Juzi Shengqiu that he was the main general of Xiang Ziniu's invasion of Lu several times, and Juzi was furious. And Lu Hou was already a little unhappy with the giant, and after knowing about it, he was even more angry that the ink man helped Xiang Ziniu. ”

"Wu Qi had a reputation in Lu at that time, and took this opportunity to become famous in a battle, resisted the attack of victory, and controlled Qi with weak Lu, and became famous all over the world."

"The giant felt that Xiang Ziniu's previous invasion of Lu had something to do with Shengxuan, and he had no choice but to ignore it, so he left Luhou and went to Qi State."

"On the one hand, he sent his disciples to Yue Guo, Wei Guo and Sanjin to carry out activities, and prepared several families to work together to punish Qi State; On the other hand, he reasoned with Xiang Ziniu and Qi Hou, just as he did when Chu attacked the Song Dynasty, and warned Qi Hou and Xiang Ziniu...... If the attack on Lu continues, the princes of the world will be worried about the expansion of the Qi Kingdom, and the disciples of the Mo family will have to come forward to contact ......"

"In the end, Xiang Ziniu retired from the army, and the world knew that Wu Qi knew the soldiers, and Shengxuan was dismissed by Xiang Ziniu, and was taken back to Shangqiu by the giant, and escaped the rebellion of Xiang Ziniu of the Qitian clan."

"You'll know what happened after that. Shengqiu rebelled against ink, and Liqiu became famous and served Qin Gongzilian; Wu Qi left Lu, and the name of the West River broke through the West Qin. After that, you fit into the Mo family, and our Mo family is not idle, Shangqiu, Niu Yan, and Teng are known to the world. ”

Although the food is fragrant, it is far less than the wine under the story.

From the beginning of telling these stories, more and more people gathered around, including businessmen from all over the world, wealthy locals, ink people who came here to improve their lives, or rangers and travelers who did not join the Mo family but were active in Pei as friends of the Mo family.

The names of these people can be described as thunderous, and this kind of story is also the first time many people have heard of it, and Shi Ye finally understands the relationship between all this...... the relationship between Mozi and Xiang Ziniu and Shengqiu in the article "Lu Wen", and the opportunity for Wu Qi to become famous in Lu State.

After Gongzaoye finished saying this, he got up and looked at the people who came around to listen to the story, and said loudly: "More than 20 years ago, in Jindi Yicheng, I, Wu Qi, and Nie Zheng were all young, but the three of them chose three completely different paths. ”

"I follow the giant to benefit the world, and the battle of Shangqiu can be regarded as the courage of a gentleman; Nie Zheng had the courage to be a hero, and he fled to avoid trouble after killing someone, but he still adhered to the 'righteousness' in his heart; Wu Qi became famous for fame and fortune, and finally became famous in Xihe as a party. ”

"If you talk about talent, Wu Qi can also govern and know the army, enter the prime minister, and the country is rich and the army is strong. But he has no ambition in his heart to be the heart of the world. ”

"If you talk about righteousness, Nie Zheng is a person who values his promise and lives lightly, is not afraid of life and death, is filial to his mother, and is a ranger. But he couldn't tell what righteousness was, what love and usefulness were, so that he was valued by others and used to do something that was not beneficial to the world. ”

Therefore, the Mohists should talk about synonymology. What is this righteousness? Does it matter? It is very important, without the righteousness recognized by everyone in the world, it is not easy for you to distinguish between right and wrong in doing things, and you don't know whether what you are doing is right or wrong in the eyes of future generations? How can they be immortal? ”

"Don't say that there are many rules of the Mo family, and don't say that the righteousness of the Mo family should be talked about every day, and it will not work if you don't talk about it."

"Now that the giant is old, I am also gray, the young man who has been around for more than 20 years is no longer there, but the story that happened in Yicheng more than 20 years ago is still repeating."

"Many of you are still young, and the three of you chose three different paths back then, and now you young people should also choose your own path early. Understand what righteousness is? What is bravery? What is benevolence? What is love? In this way, when you are old, you can evaluate yourself, whether what you have done in this life has been consistent? Is it possible to give yourself peace of mind? Is it really conducive to the world and fulfilling the wish of the heart? ”

His voice was like a bell, and he was even more energetic after drinking, and he used such a story to tell the story of the young man, and the people around him who listened to the story bowed their heads and thought.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and with a little drunkenness, he asked Gong Zaoye privately: "Righteousness is naturally the same, but how to do righteousness, there is always a difference, in your opinion, how to do this righteousness in the future?" ”

Gong Zaoye was also a little drunk, and did not answer directly, but looked at him left and right: "King Yue is belligerent, and this battle needs to be done with all his might." I want to pay back to the giant, and with the righteousness of the Mo family over the years, I invite the world's 'friends' to come to Pei to help in this battle. ”

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't ask any more.

I don't know who started it, and a few people sang loudly to express their hearts.

Big rat big mouse, no food for me! Three-year-old girl, don't care about it. The dying woman is a paradise. Paradise and Paradise, I have what I have.

Rats and rats, no food for me! Three-year-old girl, Mo I Kende. The deceased woman is suitable for the country. Happy country, happy country, I am straight.

Rats and rats, no food for my seedlings! Three-year-old girl, Mo I am willing to work. The deceased woman is suitable for the suburbs. Le Jiao Le Jiao, who is the eternal number.

For a time, many people on the street sang along, and the lyrics of the Paradise and the Country of Music came and went, and another song "Paradise" was introduced; A song "Cutting Tan".
