Chapter 211: A Hundred Feet of Collusion (6)
This incitement is extremely shameless, and it is suspected of taking advantage of the danger of others, and it is not the work of a gentleman.
As the saying goes, taking advantage of people's danger is not benevolent!
Whether it is suitable for "benevolence" or not, the Mo family is "benevolent", but the "benevolence" of the Mo family is not the same thing as the mainstream "benevolence" in the world at this time.
Mo Zhai's attitude towards forcing the prince of Chu to succeed to the throne after the rebellion of Duke Bai of Chu, that is, the reason why Gongsun Ze resented the Mo family all his life, is also the reason why the understanding of "benevolence" is completely different.
No matter how stupid everyone present, they also heard the meaning of the appropriate words.
Shi has already said before, Song Gong, Si Cheng, Liuqing, doctors, and even scholars...... They all have reasons to defend the city, but the farmers and industrialists do not, because the change of hands of the city has nothing to do with them, and it basically does not affect their interests.
Now they say that they need some reason to defend the city, why don't the people understand?
Now there are helpers and ploughers in the city, and they ask for money to do things, and they don't do things if they don't give money, but no one says that they are shameless, despicable, or even immoral.
If defending the city is also doing things, you must always ask for some reward from the profiteers: if you don't give it, you won't keep it, anyway, after the city is broken, the farmers and merchants will still be the farmers, but those who eat meat will suffer, not all families are like Chen Tian, who can make a comeback in a foreign land.
In the craftsman's association, there were also three or five "gentlemen", so they said: "This is ...... I'm afraid it's not the work of good people. ”
As soon as he heard this, he said: "Do you think that this is like someone who has a daughter, but is threatened by a tiger, and someone happens to be able to kill a tiger, so before killing the tiger, he asks for that person's family wealth, and if he doesn't give it, he won't kill it?" Isn't this a good person? ”
The analogy was so simple that the moral gentlemen said, "That's right." ”
Shi shook his head and said, "That's the case." But if the person who has a wealth of money is a good person, shouldn't he agree before someone else asks for it? ”
Someone said: "If others are unkind, is it not the reason why I am unkind?" ”
Shi Daqi said: "Whose truth is this?" My Mo family doesn't have such a reason, even our mortal enemy Confucianism, and there is no such reason? Zhong Ni once said, repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue? I have never heard of Confucianism in this way. ”
"Yang Zhu? They want to be noble, and there is no such reason. Who in the world has such a truth? ”
How did the one who spoke know the words of so many people? It's just that hundreds of years of moral indoctrination have made them subconsciously feel that this kind of thing is not right, and it seems to be ...... Unkind, unkind, immoral.
How can we take advantage of the exhaustion of the monarch and nobles to gain benefits from them? This is obviously an immoral thing, I always feel very bad to do this, and I am not a good person!
Those people thought for a while, and then muttered: "You ink writers are all good people, and you can all die for others, isn't this the truth of your love?" ”
Shi burst into laughter and said, "The ink master can not die for others, but can die for the benefit of the world, which is different." You are a craftsman, so isn't it unethical to sell the things you make and collect money from others? ”
The number of these people in the craftsman's association was already small, and the others couldn't listen to that kind of reasoning for a long time, so when they said this, they also burst into laughter and said, "It should be like this." I make wheels, and I always have to sell them for a price. Now if you want to defend the city, you can sell it for a price. ”
Shi smiled and said: "Yes, you are not ink masters, we ink masters know that defending the city is for the benefit of the world, and you also have to know what the purpose of defending the city is to get?" Right? ”
The incendiary discourse that resulted from this began to spread within the Craftsmen's Guild, where the crowd gathered around Shi to discuss the relationship between the state, the nobility, the princes, and the commoners, and why they should defend the city and why they should pay military dues......
Similar words, similar incitements, began to spread among artisans, farmers, merchants, and servants.
At night, the people of the Xuanyi Department took advantage of the convenience of defending the city and the convenience of organizing the people in the city to start the largest propaganda and agitation after the defense of the city...... Or rather, incitement.
Why defend the city?
Once this becomes a problem, it is destined to be more than just a matter of defending the city.
…………
On the same night, thousands of miles away in the Wei capital, Qin Gongzi Lian Zheng and Rebel Mo Shengxuan, who had been in exile for many years, were drinking, with distress on their faces, and sighed for a long time.
What is a long sigh is not the fate of being expelled when he should have been the king, and being exiled when he should have inherited the throne.
Gongzilian lamented the battle in the West River.
The news that the Chu people are going north to fight for hegemony has been coming for a long time, and the envoys sent by the Song people to ask for reinforcements have already arrived, which is a major event in the world, and this is also the resurgence of the dispute between the two hegemons of Jin and Chu.
A month ago, Childe Lian got a piece of mixed news.
The Qin people mobilized several men over the age of fifteen to counterattack Xihe, cooperate with the Chu people to go north, suppress the hegemony of the Three Jins, and stabilize the aggressive situation after the Three Jin defeated the Qi State.
Childe had joys and worries a month ago.
Happily, he is the son of Qin, even if the Qin Jun at this time is not him, and even hurt him, but he is a Qin man after all.
Xihe is the pain of the Qin people, especially after Wu Qi, who once killed his wife and begged for a general, guarded Xihe, which made this pain even worse.
Now, the Qin people finally seized the opportunity of the Chu people to go north, apparently after forming an alliance with the Chu people, they exchanged ideas and sent troops to seize the West River.
If he can get Xihe, Gongzilian feels that he should be happy.
However, he was just as worried.
If the Qin people win this time and get Xihe, then he, the exiled son, will not have the opportunity to return to Yongcheng to inherit the throne in his life.
prestige, fame, momentum, popular ...... All of these things will be accompanied by this counterattack against Xihe, if successful, so that Qin Jun at this time will reach the peak.
Although he is a Qin man, he hopes to regain the position of Qin Jun after all.
This mixed mood has all turned into bitterness, helplessness, and resentment at this moment.
for the joy of joy is dashed.
Because the sorrow of sorrow has dissipated.
The villain who killed his wife and begged for a general once again defeated the Qin army, and while launching a counterattack, he passed the news of Xihe worry-free back to the Wei capital, and the Wei people celebrated for several days.
From the time the villain with low morals guarded the Xihe, several counterattacks by the Qin people were all ineffective and fruitless.
And what's even more terrifying is that this villain is not only a handsome talent, but also a character who can get in and out of the picture.
Not only can you govern the army, but also govern the country, Xihe is under the governance of this person, and the Qin people continue to flee.
One trades off the other.
Childe was extremely depressed.
Weiss treats him well, but he also knows the reason why Weiss treats him well, just because he is qualified to be a puppet of the Wei people.
And the contradiction between Qin and Wei is deepening day by day, if he relies on the power of the Wei people to regain the throne in the future, then he can only take refuge in the Wei people in his life, otherwise he will not be able to suppress the nobles of his country at all.
Fortunately, a few years ago, those capable rebels took refuge in him, and gave a very clear solution: they could not rely on the Wei people to seize the throne, but only on the internal chaos of the Qin people, so as to return.
But Qin and Wei are too close after all.
The Wei people have the danger of Kun Pass, Hangu Pass, and Hequ, and the Qin people only have a plain left, and they are about to reach the point where there is no danger to defend.
Now that the battle of Xihe has been lost, Weiss also invited Gongzilian to the celebration banquet, and Gongzilian had no choice but to participate.
At the celebratory dinner, Gongzilian saw Duan Ganmu, Li Kui, Tian Zifang, Wei Chengzi, and Zhai Huang...... and so on, and so on led to the Wei people's powerful virtuous ministers.
This made him more depressed than the defeat in the Battle of the West River.
Nowadays, the Chu people surrounded the Song Dynasty, and the envoys of the Song people have been in Wei for a long time, and at the celebratory dinner, Wei Si has said that he will soon relieve the siege of the Song State, so as to defeat the Chu State and inherit the hegemony of the Jin Dynasty.
Childe Lianyu is depressed.
The number of strong in the world, three Jin family. Qi has been defeated and Xiaqiu, Qin has been defeated in Xihe, if the Chu people are defeated in Shangqiu again, who in this world can control Wei?
Drinking a few glasses of strange liquor brought by merchants from other places, Gongzi Lian's mind was a little dizzy, and he couldn't help but think of the song he sang when Jizi passed through the Yin Ruins, and finally held back with a long sigh.
He looked at Sheng Xuan, who was sitting at the bottom, and asked with an indescribable strange mentality: "Do you think that the Chu people can defeat the Wei people in Shangqiu?" ”
Hearing this, Sheng Xuan understood what Gongzilian meant.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the Wei people are already so powerful, and they have the West River, if they can be defeated by the Chu people, it seems that it will also be beneficial to the Qin people.
At least, that's what it seems.
Perhaps, Gongzilian is just depressed and doesn't know how to face the behemoth Wei. This behemoth Wei, who has talents such as Wu Qi, Li Kui, Ximen Leopard, Zhai Huang, etc., seems to have only pinned his hopes on the Chu people to defeat the Wei people.
At the very least, it can make him feel that the Wei people can be defeated.
And now, the Wei people are undefeated.
Destroy Zhongshan, break Jiang Qi, capture the West River, and divide the ...... So far, there is no defeat...... Even when Qi Huan was hegemonic, there was still a battle of long spoons that was defeated by weak Lu!
Qin Gongzi Lian needed a fantasy, or a hope, a hope that the Wei people could be defeated.
Katsuki is very smart, so he understands what Childe Lian wants to hear.
But after Sheng Xuan got up and saluted, he said in an extremely solemn and unchangeable tone: "The Chu people will be defeated." Shangqiu has a son Mo Zi to defend, and the Chu people cannot break it. Labor expedition, and the siege of the city is tired, the Wei people will send troops this time, and they will win a big victory over Chu! ”
Probably in order to make Gongzilian more sober, he said loudly: "Not only is it a big victory, but I am only afraid that Han Wei is single-minded, even if the Zheng people have a blood feud with Han, they have to be hired by Wei, and the Song people will inevitably be pro-Wei and betray Chu!" The Wei people are hegemonic, and they are unstoppable! ”
Gongzi was stunned when he heard this, and the wine bottle in his hand almost fell to the ground, and he sighed: "Who would have thought that the people who begged for food in the past could become today's thing?" ”
He glanced at Shengqiu, shook his head and apologized, "Yes, it's your husband who guards Shangqiu." Your skills are like this, how can the Chu people break through Shangqiu? ”
Even if he was drunk, Gongzilian still maintained a sense of sobriety: although these rebels are for fame and fortune, they still have their own pride, and they can't snub them, let alone make them feel a little insulted.
Without him, Childe is nothing even now, but these capable people can go anywhere.
Seeing that Childe Lian said this, Shengyu said: "What Childe is looking forward to, I can understand." But Zi Mozi and the Mo people are all guarding Shangqiu, and the Chu people will be defeated, but in my eyes, it is beneficial to you. I don't know why you're feeling depressed. ”
