Chapter 111: The Covenant of the People is Powerful (2)
While Shi was talking about all this, Mozi kept staring at Shi.
In the last conversation around Shi's forged "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Mozi already knew about Shi's differences with himself.
Although he has been familiar with Shi Shi for less than a year, he can understand the right person, and he knows that since he said that difference, I am afraid it will be difficult to change.
Therefore, Mozi wanted to hear if Shi would take this opportunity to say what he thought, rather than the statement that the Seven Enlightenments of the Ink Scholar and the Ink Scholars agreed upon after listening to him.
There is a difference between the two.
Now it is appropriate to wear the crown of the golden crow and speak in front of everyone, and the ink man fully cooperates, but he is only the tongue of the ink man, not the giant son of the ink man, and he is not a single person.
He had already spoken, and he couldn't stop it, so Mozi wondered if he would break the rules of the Moji that he had proposed himself.
Mozi has dead soldiers and good shooters around him, and he can even send people to stand by the right side.
But he didn't do it, just listened.
He did not hesitate to exchange the possible hearing of all the people for judging the right people.
Because he thinks that suitability is very important, so important that he can use the words heard by thousands of people to see if suitability is a real disciplined ink man.
Fortunately, everything that is suitable for talking about is something that has been discussed with the ink masters, including the theory of ghosts and gods.
Shi knew that he was a compromise with the ghosts and gods of the ink man, but this compromise actually won in the end.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse and the Emperor of Nature are both Emperors of Heaven, but they are not the same thing at all.
When he said the chaotic state of the dark forest, it meant that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was dead, and the remaining Emperor of Heaven was just a symbol.
It's not that the Emperor likes people to love, to be synonymous, to make some kind of law.
It is the Emperor of Heaven who has made people in the world, and the existence of people is reasonable and the Emperor's preference.
Therefore, the rationality of the synonym and the law is deduced from the pursuit of human profit, which has nothing to do with the emperor's preference: the emperor only prefers the person himself, not the good of the good man, the love of the beloved, and the good of the good.
This is something that can be distinguished by the debating inker, but he will not object.
The Emperor of Heaven has given only the right to life and private property rights of man himself, but he has not given him likes and dislikes, and these laws are not based on the preferences of the Emperor of Heaven, but only according to the derivation of human nature for profit, the so-called method of knowledge of Mo Debate.
This is the biggest difference, the most imperceptible correction, and a compromise that wins all the inkers.
Mozi may not have been able to detect this correction yet, and was very satisfied with the appropriate choice.
Because he knew that at such a time, he could say whatever he wanted, and no one could stop him.
But Shi didn't talk about it, but respected the result of the argument a few days ago, and only became the mouthpiece of the ink artist instead of himself.
Therefore, Mozi put his hands behind his back, knowing that Shi's gaze was not here, but he still nodded at Shi's in the distance, as a silent, even invisible, encouragement.
Shi, who was wearing a sunflower crown on stage, didn't see Mozi's encouragement, and didn't even see too much movement.
The crown of sunflowers on his head obscured his own eyes, and also the eyes of others looking at him.
There is a wild bee collecting pollen on the flower plate, busy with his life, just as the people who gather here do it for their own benefit.
It is appropriate to wait for silence, the eruption after silence, and the silence again after the eruption.
He didn't look at everything in the audience, he just listened with his ears.
At this moment, it seems that the east is facing the Jieshi and listening to the sea.
Those silences and outbursts are like rising and falling tides, rushing in waves and retreating in waves.
From those doubts, surprises, doubts, support, and shouts, he heard his own hope and the hope of the Mo.
Most of the people at the front were the craftsmen of Peiyi, the members of the artisan association, the people elected by the various village communities, and those who were the first to come into contact with these doctrines in the Shangqiu village community.
Fit can hear, they have accepted.
But it will take some time for those who are behind to accept, and they need to be guided and persuaded by those who speak smoothly.
Some of the craftsmen in the front of the artisan association who were closest to the ink maker asked their own questions first, and they did not ask directly according to the agreement, but asked the ink maker who arranged them around, and he conveyed it.
Because these people are very close to the morality of the Mo, only the young Six Fingers are arranged here.
A carpenter asked: "Little Ink Master, you ink masters always talked about Yu Sheng before, is it because of this reason that Yu is called the Holy King?" ”
Six Fingers repeated the carpenter's doubts, and after confirming that it was correct, he ran to Shi's ear and said it, and Shi made an answer, which was passed on by Six Fingers.
Although he was young, he had been following him for a long time, and his speech was already clear.
When he came back, he said, "It's the same thing. ”
"In the era of Dayu, wind and rain, the river was blocked, and all the people under the river were fish and turtles. At that time, what people were most looking forward to was being able to control the floods. ”
"So people gave up their right to be free, followed Dayu to the wind and rain, polished the hair on the legs, thickened the cocoons in their hands, and even died of exhaustion on the banks of the river, in exchange for the interests of themselves and their descendants and their descendants."
Dayu did it, so he was called the holy king and has been preached. Isn't that the truth? ”
"If Dayu comes to the shore of Surabaya now, when the wind and rain are good, he still wears the wind and rain and polishes the hairs on his legs three times through the door of the house, and does not care about the most harmful disputes in the world, but still digs the river, can the people of the world still obey? Can we still honor him as a holy king? ”
"In ancient times, Dayu was also a wind and rain, if it is also a wind and rain now, but the former is a saint and the latter is not a saint, isn't this because everyone's most desired profit has changed?"
"Therefore, what made Yu the holy king is not because he has weathered the wind and rain, but because he can make everyone benefit and fulfill the contract signed with the world, so he can become the co-lord of the world and establish Xia."
His father, Kun, was unable to control the flood, so he was killed. It was the Holy King Di Yao who killed him, and didn't Di Yao's power to kill him come from the agreement and interests of the people of the world? ”
"If you can't brave the wind and rain, you can't complete the contract and let the people of the world benefit. But he became a holy king because he benefited the world, not just the wind and rain. ”
"You can't ignore the difference."
"A holy king is the one who can keep his agreement with the people of the world and who can benefit the people of the world."
"That's why we said that we should choose the virtuous as the Son of Heaven, and the standard of the virtuous is the will of heaven, and isn't the will of heaven based on whether everyone can benefit or not?"
"Isn't it the will of heaven that the things that can benefit all people are gathered together to become the covenant? Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven hopes that everyone will be in distress, and that they will not be able to gain but only harm? ”
"Therefore, the ink scholar respects Yu Sheng, which is the same as the truth just now."
The truth is not complicated, and it also solves the problem of "making the ink of later generations mostly wear fur brown as clothes, and take clogs as clothes, day and night, and self-suffering as the extreme, saying: 'It can't be like this, it's not the way of Yu, it's not enough to be called ink'".
He changed the ink from an ascetic who suffered from the wind and rain to a political reformist who put the interests of the people first.
This kind of silent correction has been done secretly, and now it is said to the craftsman by the six fingers, and in fact it is also said to the many ink makers.
After listening to the relay of Six Fingers, the man thought for a long time, nodded and said, "That's the truth, I already understand what you mean." Then I accept the truth of the Ink Scholar in the covenant and the choice of the Son of Heaven. ”
The people kneeling next to him also nodded in agreement, and then applauded in unison.
They were the first to applaud, and there were more people who asked more strange questions, and then those ink writers passed them on to Shi one by one, and Shi Zai answered them one by one.
Too many people, too many problems, and all these problems must be explained within the framework of Mo's morality, attached to the social contract and the unity of profit and righteousness.
From the noon meeting to the time when the scene calmed down after answering the last question, it was already evening.
At sunset, the sun shines on the suitable sunflower crown, adding a bit of indescribable fantasy.
He listened quietly, feeling the heat of his face swept by the sun.
When the sound of the crowd gradually turned into the calm of the ebb and flow, he raised his left hand and asked in a loud voice, "Are you willing to give up your right to kill others at will in exchange for your interest in not being killed by others for no reason?" ”
Those who had recently said in unison, "Yes!" ”
There are a lot of inkers mixed in it, and this sound is like another wave of willingness, and it is slowly pushing from front to back, attracting more willingness.
"Are you willing to give up your right to plunder others at will in exchange for the benefit of not being plundered by others?"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to give up a portion of your grain as reserve in exchange for the benefit of not starving to death in the event of a famine?"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to give up your freedom to sleep with any woman in exchange for the benefit that your woman will not be slept with by others?"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to give up your interest in injuring others to the point of being disabled in exchange for the benefit of not being hurt and disabled by others?"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to give up your right to abandon your children at will in exchange for the benefits that your old children must provide?"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to give up part of your freedom in exchange for the benefit of building canals and dams together so that they won't drown in future floods?"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to give up your interest in occupying other people's land at will in exchange for your own land not being usurped by others?"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to give up your free access to other people's houses in exchange for the benefit of not being allowed into your own houses?"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to give up a part of your freedom and food in exchange for the interest of you gathering together to train and protect yourself from being slaughtered by others?"
"Yes!"
……
One after another gave up, one after another in exchange, one after another in exchange, in exchange for the willingness of one sentence after another to condense into a tide.
When I asked the last question, it was getting late.
Shi raised a blank bamboo deed in his left hand and said, "These are the deeds you want to sign." ”
He folded the blank bamboo deed hard, broke it in response, and shouted loudly.
"This deed is so fragile, it will be broken as soon as it breaks, and the world is so fragile, everyone who signs the bamboo deed should protect it."
"This bamboo deed is made by all the people, and everyone can say what they want to do, whether it is to kill people at will, to plunder at will, or to give up the contract of this world, believing that they will only gain and will not be harmed. As long as you dare to bear the consequences of doing so. ”
After shouting, the right hand holding the sunflower scepter was raised high, facing the sunset, and the left hand was also slightly raised upward, at the people who were intoxicated by the sunset and the golden crow-habitat holy scene, and summarized the two sentences just said.
"Everything is empty!"
"All is possible!"
