Chapter 269: The Prince Ben Zheng Defeats the Soldiers (5)
Debate 54 doesn't know much about Zheng Guo's ruling Si Ziyang, but he knows that Zheng Guo has been divided into seven clans since Mu Gong, and the seven sons of Mu Gong are collectively referred to as Qi Mu, just like the six Qing of Jin are in power, but they are all foreign surnames from Jin Guo.
How to say that these seven families are also after Zheng Gong, so it is more like the situation of the Song Kingdom, where the families outside the Gong clan were separated and gradually took power.
Zheng Gong has little real power, and the ruling power is one of the seven Mu Ziyang, the two of them are one king and one phase, fighting openly and secretly.
Liezi lived in Zhengdu all the year round, knew the situation in Zhengguo, and asked for advice again after arguing fifty-four.
Lie Zi said with a smile: "In the past, someone said to Si Ziyang that Lie Yukou is a virtuous person, but he is poor. This is your chance to be kind to the wise as a ruler. So he sent someone directly to give me a lot of grain, but I refused. ”
"My wife sighed in her heart, why is she so miserable? Everyone in the world who hears the word is rich and rich, but she will suffer with me. ”
"I said, donkey ** didn't know me. He didn't send anyone to find out if I was wise or not. ”
"He can support me today because others say I am wise; Tomorrow, if someone says I'm guilty, will he just come and kill me? ”
"Besides, if I take something from someone else, if he is useful to me, I will not die for him, this is unrighteousness. But he was originally a man without a way, and if I died for a man without a way, it would still be unjust. Therefore I did not accept what he had, and I also thought that he was a man of no way. ”
"Invite people to buy people's hearts, but do not seek true sages; Listen to what others say, and don't make it clear. As such a person is in power, Zheng Guo is in danger. ”
Liezi has an indifferent attitude from beginning to end, which is his three views and his way of life.
The clothes on his body are not much better than those Mo families who suffer from themselves, not only his wife has asked me how I can still live a poor life when I hear the Tao, but also disciples have asked him.
Liezi's knowledge is the opposite of the Mo family.
From the cosmology, epistemology, to the concept of destiny, they are all opposites.
An essay entitled "Tang Wen" sparked a debate with Shi about the worldview and the geography of the world.
An article "Destiny" sparked a debate on whether the mandate of heaven exists, whether people's birth, old age, sickness and death, wealth and poverty are predestined or can be changed the day after tomorrow.
The fifty-fourth came this time to argue about these issues, but when the prince of Chu was about to go to Zheng, he first postponed the original plan and asked Liezi about Si Ziyang.
After asking, Liezi said, "You come this time, why don't you come with the right name of the Mo family?" He asked me if there was a contradiction in writing both "The Fool Moves the Mountain" and "Force". I was about to argue with it. ”
Debate 54 saluted: "If the son wants to argue, I am also good at arguing, but now I am a Mo family debate, first ink and then debate." I'm afraid that the matter of the argument will be postponed for a few days, and I need to inquire about what Zheng Ren means. ”
Liezi stroked his palms and laughed: "You can be born, and Tianfu is also; You can die and die, and God is blessed. can be born but not born, and heaven will punish it; You can die without dying, and heaven will punish you. You can live, you can die, you have to live and die; You can't live, you can't die, you can't die, you can't die, you can't die, you can't live. However, life and death, not things and not me, all fate, wisdom is helpless! ”
"Life and death are the destiny of heaven, and the world has its own destiny, can this be changed by manpower?"
"Isn't it ridiculous that you Mohists often say that Tianzhi is measurable, or that Tianzhi is measurable? If so, do you know when you're going to die? If so, do you know how to reverse it? ”
"You can't even know your own life and death, how dare you claim that you can benefit the world according to the will of heaven? It is impossible to change one's life against the sky. ”
Hearing this, Fifty-Four suddenly drew his sword and said with a smile: "I want to kill you, so can I say that the Mandate of Heaven will let you die today?" So it's not me who killed you, it's Destiny? Is it understandable in this way? ”
Liezi didn't seem to see the short sword around his neck, and said with a smile: "In the past, when Zheng Dengxi was in power, he made a law written on bamboo slips "Bamboo Punishment". Zheng Guo used it many times to make the political affairs of Zichan difficult, and Zichan could only succumb. So Zichan arrested Deng Xi, humiliated him in public, and killed him soon after. ”
"It can be seen that Zichan is not able to use the "Bamboo Punishment", but has to use it; Deng Xi was not able to make the child give in, but had to make him submit; Zichan was not able to kill Deng Xi, but had to kill him. ”
"You are holding a sword to my throat today, like a blade cut through my hair, and you can kill me or not. This is the destiny of heaven, if you kill me, it is the destiny of heaven that you have to kill; If you don't kill me, it's destiny for you not to kill me. ”
"This is my life, isn't it yours too? I know that the Mo family hides many outlaws, but if you kill me here, you will also die, so is this just my fate? ”
"It's not that you can't kill me, it's because you're a Mo debater and you have a lot to do, so you have to let me go. It's not something that human beings can resist. ”
Fifty-four shook his head, withdrew his sword, looked up to the sky and laughed: "As you said, all this is fate, everything is fate, what is the use of that person living?" ”
Liezi said: "When a person lives, it is his life. ”
Debate Fifty-Four sighed, feeling that this was a round and round words, but there was really no way to refute it, and asked: "My Mo family is for the benefit of the world, urging the world to kill soldiers, so that the people are safe and healthy, and the Central Plains truce, doesn't this let some of the original damned people live?" ”
Liezi asked rhetorically, "How do you know that they are going to die in the first place?" Do you think you have launched the Mandate of Heaven and know the world? But haven't you thought that the appearance of your Mo family is a kind of life in itself? Those people don't deserve to die, so the destiny gave birth to your Mo family. If those people deserve to die, then the prince will run to Zheng, and the soldiers will die, and they will still die. ”
"Do you think what you do is changing the world? In fact, this is fate, you are destined to do it, and it is destiny not to do it! ”
When Fifty-Four heard this, he couldn't laugh, but said, "So you're all right?" Even if you know that doing something can change your fate? ”
Liezi looked up to the sky and smiled: "Fate cannot be changed. Don't you hear about Ji Liang's illness? ”
"Ji Liang was sick for seven days, and his son thought he was going to die, so he asked for a famous doctor and witch."
"A doctor said that the cold and heat in your body are not in harmony, the void and the reality have crossed the limit, and the illness is due to hunger and excessive saturation and lust, which makes the mind troubled and scattered, and it is not the cause of heaven or ghosts. Although critical, it can still be treated. ”
Ji Liang was furious, saying that this was a quack doctor and drove him away.
"Later, another famous doctor said that your fate has been decided from the moment you were formed. What can drug acupuncture do to you? It's useless, wait for fate! ”
"Ji Liang praised this as a famous doctor! So a few days later, Ji Liang's illness was cured. ”
"Isn't this fate?"
"Furthermore, life and death, and even the life and death of relatives, this is the destiny of heaven."
"The son of the Wei people Dongmen Wu died, but he did not grieve. He said, "I did not have a son, and I was not sad when I did not have a son." Now that my son is dead, as I did when I had no son, what do I have to grieve? ”
"This is the one who really knows his fate!"
Liezi got up, bowed to the fifty-fourth again, and said, "You Mo family! It should be like Dongmen Wu. ”
"In the past, there was no army meeting, the world was in chaos, and the people came like this. Now that there is a soldier meeting but it died because of the appearance of Wang Ziding, isn't it the same as when there was none? What do you have to grieve? ”
Debate Fifty-four was full of color, brushed his sleeves and did not accept the gift of Liezi, and said angrily: "The Mo family is not fate! Destiny does not exist! Man will conquer the sky! ”
"If we are not fatal, we have to save the world and benefit the world! Your knowledge can cultivate yourself, but you can't calm the troubled times! ”
"If the times are peaceful, I may come to listen to your learning, thinking that he is a stone of the mountain. If the times are unpeaceful, I really can't listen to your knowledge anymore! ”
With that, turn the straw sandals, twist the short brown, turn and walk quickly.
Liezi sang at the end: "How can the mandate of heaven be violated? Even if you benefit the world and save the world, it is already predestined by heaven. How can Destiny be wrong? You don't even know what the Mandate of Heaven is, and how do you know that you have reversed it? ”
He didn't look back at the fifty-four heads, put his sword on his body, and said in his heart: "Mr. once said that the scholars and gentlemen of the world really hope to seek benefits for the world and eliminate harm for the world. ”
If these words and deeds are in the world, and the people of the world are in peace, thinking that poverty is life, wealth is life, and cannot be changed, then the world will be in chaos! Such remarks are the great enemy of my Mo family! ”
"Even if I win him, what can I do? It is appropriate to say that the matter of proclamation is for the purpose of proclamation, not for the purpose of argumentation. What the Mohists need is propaganda, not debate, I will not argue with him today, but in the future, when the world will gather famous people, they will be refuted in front of everyone! ”
"Words must win, and the momentum of my Mojiali world must also be done! He is like a paradise in the world, but he still returns to the destiny of heaven, and I will assassinate him! ”
After thinking about it, he said to the ink man who was walking beside him: "Let's go to the Siziyang Mansion and ask to see me in person, my Mo family wants to know what Zheng Ren is going to do!" ”
Not long ago, after passing through Zheng Guo, he had already met with Zheng Jun and the ruling Si Ziyang, and told them about the soldiers' meeting, and the two of them had agreed, only saying that if the three Jin soldiers were killed, they would inevitably meet the alliance.
Now, there is no news from the Sanjin Dynasty, the prince of Chu must have entered Zheng, and the army killing meeting, which seemed to be about to succeed, is about to become a bubble in the eyes of the fifty-fourth.
…………
Xiong Ding's escape to Zheng not only caused a shock in the Mo family, but also made the stormy political situation of Zheng Guo even more weird.
This Zheng Guo, who once shot Zhou Tianzi in the shoulder and dominated the Spring and Autumn Period, has now begun to decay and has long lost the prestige of the past.
The previous Zheng Jun was killed by Han Wuzi who broke through Zheng Cheng, and the people set up the younger brother of the previous Zheng Jun as the new monarch.
Because of this blood feud, he had a bad relationship with Han, so he had to face Chu, coupled with the in-law relationship between Zheng Bo and the king of Chu, the relationship between Zheng and Chu has been maintained very well.
With the strength of a small country, Zheng Guo sent troops to fight with Korea for many years, and each won or lost.
