Chapter 299: The Defeat of the Golden Jade (3)
The State of Chu and the State of Song are very different, both in terms of the situation in the country and the vastness of the territory.
Different national strengths, the mentality of the kings is very different, and if the Mo family wants to achieve the goal they set, it is impossible to reproduce the means of the Song Kingdom.
It is suitable to believe in the monarch or not, but now you can borrow the power of the monarch to weaken the nobility, break the boundary of blood first, and you can cooperate at this moment.
Xiong Su looked at Shi who was neither humble nor arrogant, and didn't know all kinds of thoughts in Shi's heart, so he said: "The widow has read some articles of the Mo family, and the first king has also sworn an oath with the Mo family. It's just a non-offensive one...... I have some ideas. ”
"If you want to decide the world without attacking, what you need is for all the monarchs of the world to agree with the concept of non-attack. If Chu agrees and Wei does not, then can Chu only be beaten? So that's not the case. ”
"The widow has also heard that you have said that the world must be one, and the king of the world can be determined. What is benefiting the world? There is a Chu State in the world, so can't the Mo family benefit the Chu State first? ”
The benefits he is talking about are not just the loans and weapons promised by the Mo family, but the deeper benefits.
Hundreds of scholars, the Mo family has a lot of technology, abundant funds, and complete weapons, if this can help the Chu State, it is definitely a dream of the King of Chu.
After all, the Mohist philosophy is about centralization, but this centralization requires "synonymous with the upper and lower", concentrating power on the "bearer of the public will".
The Mohists did not believe that the bearer of this public will must be a king of noble blood.
But in the eyes of the monarch at this time in the world, it seems that he is the "bearer of the public will" chosen by heaven.
It is appropriate to understand that what is too radical will only make the situation get out of control if it is said now: the Shang Xian who is drawn from the defeat of Jin Yu can be said, because at least the monarch listens. But there are other truths within the Mo family, which cannot be explained at the banquet.
Just as Meng Ke saw King Hui of Liang a few decades later, and the other party asked, "There will be Eliwu country", it is completely unreasonable for the monarchs of the big countries to talk to them about the "benevolence and righteousness" of Confucianism, and they will not have the slightest interest.
Now it's just a feast, and you can say something vague and expansive.
Shi said: "In the past, the king of the Sang clan cultivated virtue and abolished the military to destroy his country." There is the king of the Hu family, who is brave and brave, and mourns his society. ”
"Back then, the giant first learned from the Chengsang clan, lobbied Yingdu, and stopped attacking the Song Dynasty, but he was not listened. Later, fortunately, there were still 300 disciples in the Mo family, all of whom had the courage of the Hu family, and finally persuaded King Hui not to attack the Song Dynasty. ”
"The Lord of the Way will use his people to make peace first and create great things."
"If you are not at peace with the country, you can't go out into the army; If you are not in harmony with the army, you cannot go into battle; If you are not in harmony, you cannot enter the war; If there is no peace, there can be no victory. ”
"Therefore, if you want to win a decisive victory, you must first make peace with the country. Peace with the country must first benefit the people. If it is beneficial to the people, it can be called beneficial to the world. ”
Shi said: "War is the continuation of the court. If the government decree is not in harmony and the people are not in favor, how can it win? Zheng Xiaoguo also, the child property reform, Si Ziyang inherited his government, so he took Chu Wuyang last year. This is something that cannot be ignored. ”
"In the first battle of Shangqiu, the Song capital was almost in civil strife, and it was precisely because the interests of the people were violated that they did not go to defend the city."
"If the king can clear politics and make the people benefit, far better than in the past, how can the people be willing to accept the rule of the Three Jins?"
These broad words did not arouse a refutation from the aristocracy.
The king of Chu heard the meaning, and it was obvious that he was telling the king of Chu to change.
However, how to change must not be said at the banquet.
So the king of Chu stopped talking and praised: "That's the truth." If I had heard such a thing in the past, I would have rang the bell to congratulate me. It's just that the Mohists don't use it for festivals, and they don't need to be played if they want to come to these ritual music. It sounds pleasant to us, but to you it sounds like people's fat and people's ointment, and it costs people's energy......"
At the end of the banquet, he only said that he hoped that the ink man could continue to talk about how to benefit the country, so he invited someone to go to bed and talk secretly.
This is not a military formation, and the nobles are helpless, although they are disgusted with many truths of the Mo family, especially after saying such things as Jin Yuqi, but after all, they still can't be stopped.
Shi and Meng Sheng didn't drink much, and the two followed the palace people into the palace together, and the king of Chu had already driven away from the attendants, leaving only three people.
Shi Dao: "The rules of the Mo family, when you meet the king, there must be a second person present." ”
King Chu said with a smile: "There are so many rules of the Mo family, but it is a pity that there are still hundreds of people in the world who enter the Mo family for the benefit of the world, so many of the Mo family's principles are right." ”
"Now, there are only three people, you and me, and the words have come out, and they have stopped at six ears."
After that, the king of Chu bowed to Shihe and Meng Sheng and said: "Please also ask for advice on the strategy of benefiting the country and strengthening the country!" ”
After returning the salute to Meng Sheng, Shi said: "Didn't the first king tell me what I said under Shangqiu City?" ”
Xiong Su hurriedly nodded and said, "Naturally." There is some truth to these words. It's just that...... If a person is sick, you tell what the disease is, but the key is how to heal it. What I asked for was how to heal. ”
"Since the first king swore an oath with the Mo family, it is beneficial to the world and not to attack the people, and I can also abide by it."
Shi nodded, but said in his heart: "You are not complimenting, but because you can't beat others now." You may believe all these statements, but I don't believe them. ”
He thought so, but said something different.
"The prince is set to go to Zheng now, and the throne is unstable. The aristocracy is changeable, can it be changed at this time? ”
After a few conversations, Xiong Su already knew that the two ink masters on the other side spoke sharply and straightforwardly, coupled with the analysis of the world by the ink masters reported by Zhao Zhiai before, the king of Chu did not hide it, and said directly: "At this time of change, I am afraid that there will be another rebellion of Bai Gong." If you don't change, I'm afraid Chu will also have the disaster of Quwo Daiyi! ”
Shi said: "The Mo family also knows that in order to benefit all the people in the world, it is necessary to change. To change, we must first stabilize the situation. To stabilize the situation, it is necessary to defeat the Zheng, Wei and Han coalition forces. If you want to fight the Zheng, Wei and Han coalition forces, it is too late to carry out the government of benefiting the people at this time, so the Mo family can first borrow money from the king to assist in the guard. ”
"But in the end, if the state of Chu wants to be strong, it still needs a government that benefits the people. If the people of Chu are benefited, it is the king of Chu, because the Mohists believe that the glory and wealth of the king is the sum of the wealth of all the people. When a king goes out to meet allies, he can be seen as a whole nation. ”
This is suitable for playing tricks, this king...... It doesn't have to be a king of blood.
The king of Chu felt quite reasonable, because at this time there was no king of noble blood.
So he said, "That's right." Since I am the king, then all the people of Chu belong to the country of Chu, and they all belong to me. Therefore, the magnificence of the palace is only my place of residence, not all my wealth and glory. ”
Shi Haha smiled, faced the King of Chu, and said bluntly without fear: "But you don't dare to change now, and you don't dare to say that." Can you take the power of the county magistrate? Can you collect taxes in the land of the king? So, all you have now is a little Yingdu. ”
"Moreover, if you change, the feudal lord will be dissatisfied. Your brother can say that he does not change, so as to gain the support of the feudal nobles. ”
"And his flight now proves that the feudal lords who support him do not support you as much. Therefore, the key is, when the matter decided by the prince is settled, do you want to make the Chu State strong in the future? Or do you just want to sit in your seat? ”
This was to provoke the king of Chu, because Shi knew that Xiong Su finally launched an incomplete reform with the help of Wu Qi. Wu Qi was only in power for two or three years before he was shot to death because Xiong was suspected of illness, and he died in government.
Xiong Su raised his hand and swore: "The widow naturally wants the Chu State to be strong. Are you willing to be the king of success? ”
Shi then asked, "If one day you change the law and cause the displeasure of the nobles, will you be able to ensure that you will defeat them?" ”
"This is not the rebellion of Bai Gong back then, Bai Gong was in turmoil, and the nobles only need a new king of Chu, so there may be those who want to be loyal people, oppose Bai Gong, and quell the trouble."
"But if you change, you will be the enemy of all the feudal monarchs of the Chu State, do you think you can fight these feudal monarchs now? Gathering their power, why do you think they won't choose another 'Ming Jun' who is 'Fagu Division'? ”
"You want to change the testimonies, so where are so many people obeying you? Or who will carry out the decrees you have issued? ”
"Now that the nobles and scholars have fiefs and can read the written language, they can become courtiers. Now that your decree is to deprive these courtiers of their rights and fiefdoms, can they carry it out? ”
"Before the change of the decree, the people did not benefit, so how could they support you when the feudal lords and nobles were in rebellion?"
Xiong is young after all, and he has never taken into account these profound contradictions, and these hidden things that are not considered on a daily basis are the real resistance to change.
He sweated down and secretly took chances, and said in his heart: "The knowledge and contradictions of the Mo family are outstanding. It was so clear that I knew the root cause as soon as I heard it. Since they said it, there must be a way. ”
Now they are all in the secret room, and they don't have to worry about these words being heard by others.
And it is impossible for the nobles who want to come outside to think that they will directly pick out the words to this extent.
The king of Chu hurriedly bowed: "Please also ask!" ”
Shi Dao: "This time, the repayment conditions of the loan proposed by the Mo family to defend the city are difficult to say, but now that there are only six ears, it can be said that these means are also the basis for the king's change in the future." ”
The king of Chu suddenly understood in his heart that after all, it was for the sake of those loan repayment conditions.
However, he still did not understand what these things had to do with the future changes that Shi said.
After thinking about it, I couldn't think of the connection, so I asked again.
Meng Sheng listened on the sidelines, and said happily in his heart: "Appropriate words can always say things that are beneficial to oneself to things that are beneficial to others. I can't do that. The king of Chu asked, I am afraid that this matter has already become half of it! ”
