What do the Mo family want?

On the bright side, everything is done for the sake of three words, which is what Mozi often says about benefiting the world.

Helping Shangqiu defend the city was to warn the "warlike kings" of the world not to start a war against a small country lightly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Mozi was never afraid to use the power of the balance of great powers to maintain peace, when Xiang Zi Niu Shuai attacked Lu, when Wu Qi was still in Lu, Lu Hou once asked Mozi how to block.

Mozi said that the state of Lu was too weak, and even if Wu Qi could win the battle, it would be better than a moment. The best way is to use development sparingly, treat the people well, and at the same time make good allies, and use the power of the three Jin and other great powers to restrain the ambitions of the Qi state.

The "warlike kings" of the world may not be afraid of the hundreds of disciples of the Mo family, but they are afraid that the Mo family will defend the city there, and they will not be able to attack for a long time and be overtaken by the rest of the countries or defeated by the expedition of the laborers.

What the so-called Mo family wants by the emperor's father Yue Ling is naturally not a very broad word of "benefiting the world".

After thinking for a while, the imperial father said, "The Mo family wants Peiyi? This matter is not difficult, with Mo Zhai's merits, he was named Peiyi Zai, who in the world can not be convinced? ”

Emperor Zang felt that this question seemed to be a little simple.

From the beginning, when the Mo family went to Peidi to do righteousness, it was a transaction: the Mo family handed over Jiahe to the Sicheng Huang family, and they curryed favor with the Sanjin who wanted to be the marquis, and the Sicheng Emperor was responsible for letting the Mo family go to Peiyi to do righteousness.

Just after thinking for a while, the imperial father Zang said again: "It's just that I'm a little puzzled. At that time, the king of Yue invited Mo Zhai with a fief of 500 li, but he also refused, thinking that he would not sell his righteousness. Chu, Song, Lu, Zheng and other countries all had the intention of soliciting, but he refused, this time...... But why? ”

Imperial Father Yue Ling shook his head and said, "Father, this time the Mo family wants Peiyi, but not to make Mo Zhai the leader of Peiyi." ”

He flipped through the moral articles of the Mo family, read them for a while, and said: "Judging from their reasoning, this Peiyi Zai is a vacant position. Anyone can be the one who can do it, but what really exercises power is the so-called public will of the people. ”

Emperor Zang was puzzled: "Then isn't this Peiyi Zai necessarily Mo Zhai?" The Mo family is righteous in Peiyi, and Mo Zhai's reputation is like a rainbow in the sky, can anyone still compete? ”

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, clapped his hands and said, "Father, this is the problem. Da Yin and the others will not understand what the Mo family wants, what they think is the same as what you think. Because they haven't read the Mo family's reasoning article, but I can understand what the Mo family really wants. ”

The emperor's father, Zang, thought of what his son said before that he used the People's House to seize the post of Ling Yin of the Inquiry Yuan, and couldn't help but be warm, knowing that his son was far smarter than himself, so he asked repeatedly.

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, twisted the pages, pointed to a few lines of words, and said: "Father, what the Mo family wants is that Mo Zhai can be the leader of Peiyi, and others can do it, but no matter who does it, he must follow the will of the people." Instead of wanting Mo Zhai to be Pei Yi Zai. ”

"The difference ......"

He thought for a long time and said: "Just like the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei, they can't be sealed by the Son of Heaven, aren't the three places of Han, Zhao and Wei these people?" With the seal of the Son of Heaven, the land did not increase, but it was completely different. ”

"What the Mo family wants is a rule for them, not Mo Zhai to be the leader of Peiyi."

"With this rule, Mo Zhai will inevitably be able to be the slaughter of Peiyi, and there is no need for a princely seal. Without this rule, even if Mo Zhai became the leader of Peiyi, it would be useless, because what the Mo family wanted was not a fief, but their rules to become the rules of the world. ”

The words of the emperor's father, Yue Ling, were like a thunderbolt in the night, and under the dark clouds of haze, the lightning suddenly crossed and illuminated the night sky and split the darkness.

The emperor's father Zang suddenly said: "I see! I wouldn't be able to understand the difference unless you explain it clearly. ”

Imperial Father Yue Ling smiled and said, "So we have an advantage over Da Yin and them." The burning of the granary must have been done by Da Yin and others. ”

"Among the disciples of the Mo family, there are many chivalrous warriors who assassinate the unrighteous king, and they can't tolerate this kind of thing. I don't think they want Da Yin and others to become the Governor of the Inquiry Yuan, which is good for us. ”

"And if we know what the Mo family wants, and talk to them, then the common people's house will be able to support us. Because of the food, defending the city, crops, iron tools, etc., the people of the common people will believe in the Mohists, and their Xuanyi Department can control the public opinion of the common people. ”

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, said, and said: "The royal family of our city can neither be the Shun of Danzhu but may not be able to be the Duke of Zhou and the King of Xuan. ”

At this time, there are no outsiders, and some big rebellious words can be blurted out.

In that year, Shun imprisoned Tang Yao and exiled Yao's son Danzhu, thus completing the usurpation of power and becoming the leader of the Huaxia Tribal Alliance.

If you give some more similar examples, in fact, the most recent thing is the Tian family's generation of Qi, but at this time, the Tian family still has the puppet of Qi Hou, and this incident has not happened.

And because the Sicheng Emperor family, after all, like the Le, Ling, Zi and other clans, are all branches of the Song Gong bloodline, and the Tian clan is still a little different, it cannot be called usurpation, it can only be called taking.

The example of Shun imprisoning Yao and letting Danzhu go is actually telling the emperor's father Zang that the situation has changed, and don't think about usurping the throne for the time being.

Now that the establishment of the Inquiry Yuan has been temporarily unchangeable, then it is time to strive to become the Duke of Zhou and the Republican Uncle who acts as the king.

The era name is the same as that of the Duke of Zhou and the Republic of Xuan, and they do not use their own era names, but the order is issued by the Duke of Zhou and Gongbo.

Take the reality and not the name.

This is the choice to maximize the benefits at this time, because if you want to usurp the throne, it will be more difficult than before, and you will have to face the people of Shangqiu who have been organized by the siege war.

The people of Shangqiu, who had experienced the coup d'état and the siege of the city, were very dissatisfied with the aristocracy and were tired of the endless coup d'état, especially after the Mojia Xuanyi Department gave a picture of the future.

After the father and son of Sicheng Emperor discussed, they asked the emperor's father Yue Ling to come forward and ask to see Mo Zhai to complete this exchange of interests.

…………

The Mojia station was heavily guarded, and from time to time there were people from Shangqiu coming in and out.

Either listening to the propaganda of the Xuanyi Department, or asking about the future, or wanting to join the Mo family and become a Mo person.

has basically completed the busy suit, and can finally take a few days off for a while, and discuss the next things with the Mo family.

The propaganda of the Propaganda Department was in place, and because of the organizational form during the siege, it was impossible to change the establishment of the Inquiry and Political Yuan this time.

The propaganda made by the Propaganda Department is also in place, although there are still many loopholes in this new way of forming the government, and the vast majority of people are not yet familiar with it, but there is a beginning that can be learned over a long period of time.

In addition to the previous propaganda and agitation, the Mo family is still preparing another thing under the appropriate suggestion.

After listening to Shi's opinion, Mozi first asked, "What do you mean by Pengcheng, the second capital?" ”

Shi pointed to the location of Pengcheng on the suggested map and said: "Pengcheng is at the intersection of Danshui and Surabaya. It is separated from Peiyi. ”

"From Pengcheng down the river, you can pass through the Huaishui ditch, and close to Chudi. Coal and iron are abundant, and the land is fertile, so it is really a place that can be developed. ”

"As far as Song is concerned, if you want to maintain neutrality between the Three Jin and Chu now, you have to consider the situation of the siege of the Three Jin and Chu."

"Although Shangqiu is steep, it is close to the Sanjin, and the Sanjin army is coming in the morning and evening, which cannot be ignored."

"If there is a change in the Chu people, you can stick to Shangqiu and wait for the three Jin Dynasty to invite the Chu people to fight against Shangqiu City."

"If you run Pengcheng as the second capital, you can beware of the three Jins. If there is a change in the Three Jins, they can retreat to Pengcheng and wait for the Chu people to go north to fight. ”

"This is a reason that can be said to the people and the nobles of the Song Dynasty, and they are acceptable."

Historically, Pengcheng was indeed a refuge for the Song State, because of the rise of the Three Jin Dynasty, the civil strife of the Chu people, and the organized death of the Mo family in Yangcheng, which led to the Song State being penetrated by Korea, and the Song Duke retreated to Pengcheng, and finally relied on mediation to counterattack before returning to Shangqiu.

It was at that time that Pengcheng began to develop, experiencing a great development of merchants moving south, sweeping away the local nobles, and then moving to the strategic center of the Chu people after the destruction of the Song State, making Pengcheng the capital of Western Chu in the Chu-Han dispute.

Now for the Mo family, controlling Pengcheng has become a necessary way for the next step of development.

Shi pointed to the map and said: "To the east of Pei County, there are Teng, Xue and other places, which we can go deeper. To the south, is Pengcheng. ”

"If Pengcheng can be controlled, then Pengcheng, Pei, Liu, and other places will be connected. At this point, the Mo family can be regarded as having the strength of the Central Plains Army. ”

"Now Pei County is too small, you can make an appointment with Shangqiu, and the future development may be about the Song Kingdom, but it is not enough to make an appointment with the Central Plains and the world."

"If you get Pengcheng, Teng, Xue and other places, the warlike kings of the world will be more cautious and dare not easily start a war in the Central Plains."

He said that he was high-sounding, but in fact, in the coming chaos, the Mo family took advantage of the opportunity of the great powers to occupy the area around Pengcheng and vigorously operated, so as to truly have enough power to shock the world.

From the very beginning, Pei County was chosen for Pengcheng, because the geographical location is really good.

It's not that it's easy to defend and difficult to attack, but that the Yue people will inevitably have a comprehensive strategic contraction within ten years, and the ink people sent to Wu will accelerate this process.

The Qin people could not rise for the time being, they were suppressed by the Three Jins, and it was impossible for the strategic center of the Chu people to move eastward, so the threat of the Chu people in the Pengcheng area was not great, and the Chu State was about to be difficult to protect itself.

Once there is a crisis of inheritance in the Chu State, the Central Plains will be in chaos, and Pengcheng is far away from the chaos in the Central Plains, and it is not difficult to develop within more than ten years.

Even if the Yue Kingdom declined and moved south, the Qi State would not be able to rise and become strong for twenty or thirty years because the turmoil of the Tian clan had not yet ended, so the big powers around Pengcheng would not have the strength to set foot in this place for twenty years.

As for the interior of the Song Kingdom, as soon as the Inquiry Council is established, all kinds of bullshit will emerge in an endless stream, and it is difficult for Song Gong, Si Chenghuang, Da Yin and others to get involved.
