Chapter 63: The Truth and the Source (5)
"Two."
"Sir, I am seventeen and my sir is seventy. After my husband's death, who will decide whether I am doing righteousness or not? After the death of Mr., Poultry Slippery, Gongzaoye, Meng Sheng...... I, even if I'm still a child, Six Fingers and the others will die. After we die, who can guarantee that it is not someone like Katsuki who will become a giant? ”
"Sir can reward me, who will reward those who violate the righteousness in the future?"
"People change. That's why the gentleman wants to forge the sword thirteen in case I rebel. So, how can we ensure that the chosen giants are doing righteousness? How to ensure that the heart of the giant is the heart of every ink maker? How to ensure that the top and bottom are synonymous at the same time, and at the same time, ensure that the words of the giant uphold the current righteousness of Mr.? ”
"Where are the thirteen swords of the giant son of the future generations?"
"After these people are gone, how can we ensure that all the ink masters respect the words of the giant? Only the righteousness of the giant and the world's ink can be guaranteed, so how to ensure that the giant and the world's ink are synonymous? ”
"It can both think and concentrate, and it is the right path for future generations."
"If these two things are not resolved, the disciple will not dare to agree."
"It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that I'm afraid that righteousness will be difficult to do! I believe sir, but I don't believe in the giant a hundred years later! Mr. is here, Yu Slippery, Gongzaoye, Meng Sheng, Ji Chengzi and others are here, I don't worry about my Mo family, but I am worried about the Mo family after they die! ”
"Zhong Ni died, and the Confucian was six points. Zisi, Zixia, Zizhang, Yan Huihou, Zhongliangzi, and lacquer carving, each passed on to his disciples. If the first thing is not solved, the Mo family also has this worry; If the second thing is not solved, the ink will be six points! ”
What he said seems to be a bit alarmist, but not all alarmist.
At this time, Xunzi had not yet been born, and the Confucian eighths had not yet appeared, but the Confucian sixths had already been formed.
The six of them are all disciples of Zhongni, and each believes that his own Confucianism is the real Confucian, although it has not yet reached the point of accusing each other of being a heretic, but it is also about to happen.
The Mo family can laugh at Confucianism like this now, but the end of the Mo family is similar.
Meng Sheng was killed by Wu Qi's dying counterattack, and the organized Mo people were all wiped out, and the discipline of the Mo family was destroyed by Meng Sheng: he passed the position of the giant to Tian Xiangzi before he died, but the disciples of the Mo people did not obey Tian Xiangzi's orders.
After all the backbone members were wiped out, the Mo family was divided into three. One entered Qin, one entered Chu, and the other part came to Jixia School Palace.
Each faction elected its own giant, and each faction considered the other family to be heretics.
The root of it lies in the first point of the appropriate theory.
Mozi practiced righteousness, but did not systematize these principles, nor did he put forward what the world should be like after practicing righteousness.
Mozi's knowledge is incomparable to that of later generations of Mozi, and if it can't be compared with knowledge, then you can only learn the rest of Mozi's place: taking suffering as pleasure.
Originally, the hardship was just to do righteousness, and some of the ink people in later generations turned the hardship into the unity of ends and means, and finally this ink who did not enter the Qin integration official system also died out - they are no longer more than who knows more Tianzhi and who does righteousness, but who can endure hardships and who can be as tired as Dayu The hairs on the legs are soaked in sweat.
It's hard to endure hardship.
But compared to the rest of Mozi's skills, it is easiest to learn hardships.
When a person can't become a saint but wants to learn from a saint, he will always choose the easiest point in the saint to learn, and then turn the easiest point into the whole saint, so that he will get closer to the saint.
But the saint is no longer the same person, but a strange, self-created alien with the same name.
Confucius was also a sage of Confucianism, so he was also changed by later generations of Confucian scholars with the same name, but he was not at all a master who was exquisite in the six arts and was proficient in driving and archery.
For the Mohists, the alienated ascetic Mohist thought of later generations eliminated the possibility of more people joining the Mohists.
As a result, after Meng Sheng's death, the organizational scale of the Mo family has not recovered, and there is no longer the strength to interfere in ordinary affairs everywhere.
It is now in the best era of the Mo family.
Mozi is still there, and the Mo family is the largest and expanding.
The people who founded the Mo family are still alive, some loopholes can still be plugged, and some dregs of the limitations of the times may be removed.
So he must solve these problems at the root, otherwise the fate of the Mo family is inevitable. Even if he avoided Wu Qi's posthumous strategy, he could not reverse the situation in the world.
The first doubt is to change the Mohists from a mysterious group to a group with a clear political purpose; The second doubt is that he can become the leader of the ink people in the future, even if it is one of them.
When Mozi heard Shi's two questions, he was neither angry nor accusatory, and his expression became a little cautious.
After that serious illness, he was thinking about the future of the Mo family.
One is dying for himself, and the other is that the ghosts and gods are hard to hold.
In the matter of the village community's handling of Sang Sheng, Mozi saw it with his own eyes and was touched, as if he had figured it out, but he couldn't grasp the essence.
Obviously, each farmer can have his own opinion, but in the end, the opinion is still the right opinion.
That's not how Mozi is organized, but it achieves the effect Mozi wants to pursue.
The story that is told by Shi is very different, and Mozi is also deeply touched.
It is true that he is doing what he is doing now, but as Shi said, the driver is listening to his command, and the driver himself does not know where to go.
It's okay to be alive, but what if you're dead?
After his death, maybe the second generation of giants will know where to drive, but what about the third generation? What about the fourth generation?
Although he is intelligent and has a tough personality, he is not the person who can understand all his thoughts like Gongshang.
Besides, the bird slippery is also old, what about the bird slippery after death? Can everyone really know a clear purpose like themselves?
It is appropriate to say that Confucianism has six points, which even a smart person like Zhongni did not expect.
Although Mozi criticized Confucianism, he respected Zhongni very much, often praised him, and thought that the other party was extremely intelligent, but the reason was different.
Therefore, the last words made Mozi have to be cautious.
The Mozi scholars were also pondering this question, and Mozi asked, "Are these things taught to you by Mr. Nasai and Mr. Tang Han?" ”
Shi shook his head and nodded, and said, "Mr. Tang Han once commented on Mr., I don't know if Mr. wants to hear it?" ”
It is an evaluation, and there are naturally praises and slanders.
Mozi said with a smile: "The person who can create the official book is far more intelligent than me, of course you have to listen." You say it. ”
Shi took a deep breath, pondered the vocabulary, and said: "Doing righteousness in the world, although Mo Zhai can do it alone, he can't help the world!" The flood of the past Yu was broken, and the river was broken and passed through the four Yi Kyushu. There are 300 famous mountains, 3,000 branches, and countless small ones. Yu personally manipulated the rivers of the world. The philip has no girdles, the shin has no hair, the rain is very strong, and the wind is fierce, and it puts all the nations. Yu Dasheng also, and the shape of the world is also the same. Mo Zhai is Yu, without hair and rain and wind, and also has the ability to pass through the world and rivers. Its energy is heavy, and its suffering is light. However, if Mo Zhai passes away, the disciples can all their talents, and there are few people; Those who can distinguish between the heavy and the heavy are lonely. It is a hundred years old, and the ink of the future generations will be clothed with brown and clogs, day and night, with self-suffering as the extreme, or say: 'It can't be like this, it is not the way of Yu, and it is not enough to say ink'. The inkers of the future generations will be self-suffering and hairless. However, Mo Zhai's talent and the heart of the world are rare. Guy is easy to suffer and difficult to know righteousness. Mo Zhai is really good in the world, and he can't ask for it, although he is reluctant to give up, he is also a talented man! And then it will fail! ”
This is the evaluation of Mozi in the Tianxia chapter of "Zhuangzi", which is retold after a slight modification. This is a famous story for later generations.
This remark, slightly modified to describe Confucius, also makes sense.
There are too few people who can have the talents of Confucius, so they can only learn the easiest ones in Confucius's learning, and abandon the essence of it.
The dross is easier to learn than the essence.
Shi knew that with his own identity at this time, it was not appropriate to say such things. But because of the Mr. Sai and Tang Han that he fabricated, he can talk about it through the mouths of the two of them.
Mozi seemed to give Shi the conclusion of the coffin in advance, and said the previous praise.
In turn, in the name of the apocryphal Tang and Han dynasties, he also made a summary for Mozi as if he had closed the coffin.
Some are mysterious, some are mysterious.
He knew that if he didn't take advantage of today's opportunity to make things clear, it would be too difficult to do things in the future.
So after he said this, he said, "Sir." Leopards and tigers don't look the same. A donkey with a tiger skin and a real leopard, so who is more like a tiger? Those who value only fur will say donkey statues, and those who value origin will say leopard statues. So does Mr. hope that the ink of the future generations will be like a donkey in a tiger's skin? Or like a leopard? This disciple is suspicious. ”
"Sir is like a tiger, but all the disciples have tiger teeth, tiger claws, tiger skins, and tiger roars, but none of them can be compared with Mr. In the future, who will be the tiger with teeth, claws, skin, and howl? When the four are combined, the square is a tiger; Or are all four tigers? This disciple is suspicious. ”
After Shi finished saying these two doubts, the venue was silent, thinking about Shi's words.
Including Katsuki and others, who seemed to have been forgotten by the ink man, were also thinking about these words.
Mozi did not directly answer Shi's doubts, nor did he directly explain these two things, but pointed to Shengqiu and the others: "The matter here is the business of Mo. You are no longer inkers, and don't listen anymore. Ink Person, send them away! ”
Gongzaoye got up and stepped forward.
Although Sheng Xuan and the others have already said no words, they still have feelings after all.
Seeing that these familiar ink artists were going to discuss with each other again, but they couldn't participate, I was inevitably a little disappointed in my heart.
Sheng Xuan prostrated on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Farewell to Mr. Shengxuan!" The grace of the gentleman will not dare to be forgotten. The gentleman does not ask for a knot, but the disciple cannot fail to repay the kindness of the gentleman. ”
"Although he is no longer an inkman, if he is driven by him in the future, he will be a dog and a horse. It is too hard to practice righteousness, and it is difficult for disciples to persevere. But please believe that Mr. Sheng also had the heart to do righteousness, not the kind of scheming and ruthless person. ”
"Since the gentleman has a good reputation, he has also left this evidence, and the disciple wishes him this beginning and ending with this! The disciple's sword is not as good as the public smelting, if it is suitable for betraying the righteousness one day in the future, the disciple will also punish it! ”
After speaking, he let out a long whistle, and without waiting for Gongzaoye to drive him away, he bowed three times to Mozi with the more than ten people, and got up and left.
He drew his bronze sword and whipped it with his rough fingers to make a ding-dong rhythm, singing as he went.
"In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. ”
"The way is slow, thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, I don't know how I mourn! ”
"My heart is sad, and I don't know how to mourn! My heart is sad, and I don't know how I mourn! ”
After more than ten people walked dozens of steps, they stopped the song trumpet, and at the same time turned around and said, "Mr. is 100 years old!" May the righteousness of Mr. prevail in the world! Rebel disciple, farewell sir! ”
The last moan, drowned among the walls of dirt, was silent.
