is contemptuous of the Son of Heaven and is dismissed as not as strong as the township.

Value determines significance, Zhou Tianzi now has no appeal, and second, he has lost his divine power, so he really has no value to use.

For example, the princes today are trying to create their own divine power that they can explain and control, and Zhou Tianzi was brought out today to serve as a façade not because the princes are benevolent and faithful, but because of the threat of the Mo family.

It's just that the princes' own theocratic theories are not perfect, and most of them can only explain the affairs of their own country, and they may not even be able to leave the capital, and it is difficult to explain the world.

The Five Virtues system of Qi is not perfect, and the monarchical system of the Three Jin Dynasty has not yet been completed, but at this time, the most inconspicuous Zhou Tianzi has become a person who has a little capital and contacts and negotiations with the Mo family in private.

At least, Zhou Tianzi is still the theoretical co-master of the world, and he still has a little divinity.

It is precisely for this that the Nashi people hope that the Mo family will give Zhou Tianzi a way to live, or a way to continue to maintain a certain privilege and be a theocratic idol.

Han, Wei, Qi, etc., on the other hand, did not have any capital to negotiate at all.

Shi naturally refused, he didn't care about Zhou Tianzi's divinity, and the people of the world didn't care anymore.

Seeing that Shi Shi insulted the Son of Heaven again, the scholar took a deep breath to keep himself calm on his face, and said, "Shi Zi's words are short-sighted. Talking only about violence and profit is not a long-term approach. ”

"Yin Shang has been in business for 700 years, and Zhou has the mandate of heaven. The Mo family said that it was not fate, and said that strength can win fate, but in fact, it was not known what the mandate of heaven was. ”

"The Mandate of Heaven is not destined by the Emperor of Heaven because of the foolish people, but has another meaning."

"Only when you know the destiny of heaven can you herdsmen. Although Sishang has been prosperous and prosperous in recent years, it is only a state after all. The world is in Kyushu, and one state is combined, and Kyushu may not be used. ”

"If there is a dispute today, and the princes rise together, there are Qi people, Chu people, Wei people, Han people, Zhao people, and so on. Since the Mohists said that they want to be synonymous, the world is one, and there are only people in the world, so how can we make the people of the world sure that they are people of the world? ”

"For example, the reason why the Qi people are Qi people is because the Qi people know that there is a Qi Hou. And if you want the people of the world to know that you are the people of the world, you need to find a king who is recognized by everyone in the world. ”

"If Zhou Tianzi is kept, then everyone in the world is a Zhou person."

"But if you don't keep the son of Zhou Tianzi, but choose the sage as the son of heaven, then today A is the son of heaven, then the world will be person A, tomorrow B will be the son of heaven, the world will be person B, and the day after tomorrow C will be the son of heaven, then the world will be person C, which is not conducive to the unity of the world."

Shi asked rhetorically: "Could it be that there must be a hereditary Son of Heaven in the world, so that all the people of Kyushu can find the belonging of the people of the world?" ”

"Your so-called Son of Heaven is a person who cultivates Heaven and is a moral example in the world; Our so-called Son of Heaven is not like this. ”

The scholar shook his head and said, "You think very well, but you don't know the destiny of heaven. Such as Zhou Li, well-dressed. In the past, Zhong Ni once said, micro-tube Zhong, I wear the left side of the hair. ”

"What can make Zhong Ni sigh and almost put on his left hair, isn't it because of Zhou Li's clothes? Yidi has all kinds of clothes, tattoos, and hair, and this is because they do not recognize the Son of Heaven. ”

"Just like Qilu, they were originally Dongyi, after the separation, Qilu knew the etiquette and the law, isn't this the credit of the Son of Heaven?"

"For example, if there is a radius of thousands of miles today, the north and the south are interconnected, and the merchants of Handan will not go to Yingyi just as the merchants of Yidi and Linzi will not go to Luoyi without language barriers, which is the foundation of the world that can really be one."

Shi said with a smile: "The feudal system is the work of the civil and military Zhou Gong and even the princes of the past, what does it have to do with Ji Xi?" If it is reasonable to think that the merits of the ancestors and the descendants of the aftermath are reasonable, then is it not wrong to say that the nobles originally occupied the land? We don't want to be the new hereditary princes and generals, because we don't think the hereditary system is reasonable. The world's secretaries, which ancestor has not made great contributions to the world's conquest? If the Son of Heaven can be overwhelmed by merit, why can't the nobles? Besides, why can't these people within the Mo family? So how are we different from you in the world? ”

"There is no difference between private ownership and the world. Property can be privately owned, inherited and passed on to descendants. Why can't fiefdoms? ”

Shi skillfully used the rhetoric of the bourgeoisie to hang the street lamps of the feudal aristocracy: "Because property is a reasonable labor income based on the creation of wealth by labor, it can be passed on to future generations." And the fief is because the land is originally owned by the people of the world, and it is the so-called Son of Heaven who stole the people's land and gave it to himself, which is like a stolen thing, which cannot be inherited and must be returned to the original owner. ”

The scholar did not argue with this, but asked, "What about the destiny of heaven?" The Mandate of Heaven is not stolen or robbed, but it can also be inherited. ”

"Now the Mandate of Heaven is in the hands of the Zhou royal family. This mandate of heaven was inherited from Yao Shun, Shun passed to Yu, Yu passed to Qi, Qi passed to Xia Wei Shang Tang to take it, Shang Tang took it after King Wu took it and took it, and now it has been passed to the hands of the current Son of Heaven. ”

"Shang destroyed Xia, and there was a Xia fiefdom, which was the inheritance of the handover of the Mandate of Heaven. Shang destroyed Zhou, there were three Ke, Yin people and Song Dynasty. ”

"Now that the Mo family is not allowed to have a fief, isn't this like a robber?"

"This robber saw the Mandate of Heaven in the hands of the Zhou royal family, snatched them and took them for himself, and then let the original owner of the Mandate of Heaven go to labor reform, will the Mo family do this for a long time?"

"The Mo family is doing this, it's Yidi's behavior."

Many of the ink people present burst into laughter, and Shi Ye laughed: "Is Yao Shun's father?" Is Shun Yu's father? Who told you that the mandate of heaven must be inherited by blood? ”

"If the mandate of heaven is the possession of the world by one family and one surname, then this kind of destiny should not be desired."

The scholar sneered: "If the Mo family does not believe in the mandate of heaven, it is not fate, then why should there be a son of heaven?" Since there is still the Son of Heaven, then it is necessary to recognize the existence of the Mandate of Heaven and recognize the rules of the inheritance of the Mandate of Heaven. ”

Shi Dao: "This son of heaven is not the son of heaven." ”

"For example, my brother's name is muntjac, and there are beasts named muntjac in the mountains and fields, all called muntjac, is this the same?"

"For example, the representatives of public opinion in Sishang are mostly called Hou, Bo, Zi, and Nan, is this the same as Hou Bozi and Nan under the feudal system?"

"Your Son of Heaven is the so-called person with the mandate of heaven, we do not admit that there is a mandate of heaven, and the Mo family is not a mandate, so the Son of Heaven we are talking about is not the so-called person with the mandate of heaven."

"My so-called Son of Heaven, the Mo family has the righteousness of equality, everyone is the son of heaven and the daughter of heaven, and the elected son of heaven is just the first people."

"After all, there are no hands, feet, mouths and heads in the world, and there needs to be someone to be the representative of the world, symbolizing the unity of the world."

"If a country sends an envoy from the far west, there must always be someone to meet him on behalf of the world of Kyushu. The messenger has to deal with all the people in Kyushu, but it is impossible for everyone to come forward to meet them, so it is necessary to select one person to carry the will of everyone and carry it out. ”

"The people of Kyushu are all children of heaven, and everyone is equal. The elected Son of Heaven is only a representative of the tens of millions of Sons of Heaven in Kyushu. ”

"So, what's the use of the destiny of that family and one surname? Your destiny was robbed by robbers, and it is not lawful; We, the Son of Heaven, are synonymously elected representatives of the world, and we are nothing more than borrowing names. ”

Moreover, the use of this name is precisely to declare to the world: everyone is equal, and there is no constant high and no constant cheapness. If the world is unified in the future, and I am chosen as the Son of Heaven, I can proclaim that I am the son of a shoemaker, and I can also be the Son of Heaven, and as long as there is merit, everyone can be the Son of Heaven. ”

"The use of this name, like the hundreds of marquises, counts and viscounts in Si, is to make the people of the world feel that everything that was once unattainable is now commonplace."

The so-called election of the Son of Heaven before the Mo family actually chose the head of government.

While there is some overlap between Heads of Government and Heads of State, the emphasis is different.

The Mohists focused on the head of government in selecting the Son of Heaven, while the Son of Heaven under the old concept of the Son of Heaven focused on the head of state.

The concept of the Son of Heaven is also constantly changing.

The gods sacrificed during the Yin Shang Dynasty were all the first kings of the Shang Dynasty, so the Son of Heaven of Shang is that I regard my ancestors as God, so I am the Son of Heaven.

When it came to the Zhou Dynasty, it linked the ancient lineage, and the ancient lineage was the one closest to the blood of the Emperor of Heaven, and the Zhou people were also the bloodline of the orthodox ancient one, so they could be called the Son of Heaven.

At this time, the Son of Heaven was the theocratic leader of the so-called "Xiutianjue".

However, after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, the Han Dynasty Qin, and the revival of the Ji and Han dynasties failed, the meaning of the theocratic line was much worse, so the Son of Heaven became the "eldest son of the Emperor".

The legitimacy of the "Son of Heaven" at this time stems from the patriarchal kinship system of feudal jurisprudence, and under the primogeniture inheritance system, as the eldest son of heaven, it is natural to rule the rest of the world.

Nowadays, the three major meanings of the Mohists are synonymous, equality, and love, so it is absolutely impossible to recognize the patriarchal system, and the inheritance system is also an equal inheritance system rather than the primogeniture inheritance system, so it is impossible to use the concept of "the eldest son of heaven" as the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

The Mo family is not fateful, so it can't use the mandate of heaven.

The Mo family is from a large number of lowly people, so it is impossible to use the ancient lineage.

Therefore, the meaning of the so-called Son of Heaven in the Mohists can only be "everyone is the Son of Heaven", and the elected Son of Heaven is actually the first citizen to be a marker.

As for some of the things that the scholar was worried about, I felt that the other party was not able to understand the patriotic concept of later generations.

The scholars felt that there must be an orthodox son of heaven, so as to ensure that the people of the world knew that they were from the world.

But in fact, people in later generations will stand when they hear the national anthem, stand when they see the flag raised, and feel distressed when they hear about the calamity in their own country thousands of miles away......

A country does not necessarily need a hypocrite as a representative of the whole country, but can be completely replaced by a community of consciousness.

Thinking so, Shi already has nothing to talk about with the other party.

The conditions given by the other party have nothing that can impress the suitable, and there is no value in even using them.

Zhou Tianzi now wants to be a watch that anyone can do, and begged the Mo family to join him so that he could mix up some money to spend, but the Mo family made a tool that could be solved by himself, so that Zhou Tianzi didn't even have the qualifications to be a watch.

The Mohists used Taoism and Tianzhi to usurp the theocratic legal system in a sense; The usage is natural, giving the legal principle of seizing power and land reform; The concept of equality in which everyone in the world is the son of the Emperor of Heaven and the concept that the Son of Heaven is the first citizen distorts the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

Forty or fifty thousand infantry, 16,000 cavalry, and more than 100 bronze cannons made the Taoist law and the concept of the Son of Heaven only obey their will. Accept or be conquered by violence, which is the most authoritative thing in the world, and some people use violence to force others to accept their will.
