Destiny Only Han

Chang'an City.

The Sun Also Rises.

However, the first ones to walk out of the house were not the ordinary people in the city, merchants and officials, but the children of seven or eight years old.

They carried a backpack diagonally across their shoulders, which was filled with copies of the "Chang'an Post" that smelled of ink. They were hawking them all over the street while competing for them.

The children of the poor are in charge early.

These children are used to the hard work their parents have to do to make money, so they will naturally try their best to work-study and earn more money to supplement their family income.

If everything goes well, they might still be able to keep a few copper coins to buy a sweet and sour candied haws to enjoy...

But today, they are sure that they can eat the candied haws that can only be eaten during the festival!
Otherwise, today's "Chang'an Post" is extraordinarily thick, with an unprecedented one-to-one ratio of regular publication and advertisements. It's true that the sun is rising in the west!

Therefore, a five-baht coin cannot buy you a scam, and a five-baht coin cannot buy you a loss!
After a while, people began to whisper and discuss in teahouses, cafes, and public carriage stations in the city. However, when the law enforcement officers with swords in their waists and patrolling the streets with water and fire sticks passed by, they remained silent. He became extremely cautious.

The reason is simple, they are discussing government affairs.

Therefore, naturally we can't let those government "doglegs" hear it!
Even if the big man has freedom of speech!
After a while, the discussion started again.

The origin of everything lies in the headlines on the front page of Chang'an Post and two lengthy interviews.

The most conspicuous part of the newspaper read a line of large characters, "All crimes will be brought to justice!"The Tingwei Mansion announced that it would be sworn in with illegal and criminal elements, and collectively swore to clarify the situation so that all people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment." The two exclusive interviews on the back are "Go deep into the grassroots!The interview ordered by the emperor made Jin King Liu Qi brave the dangers and finally solve the major case", "Eliminate violence and make peace!The right eunuch of Tingwei, Yinhou Huanjue, did these things after arriving at Nanjun"...

Of course, in order to ensure sales of the next issue of the newspaper, in addition to the front page, the remaining two interviews will be printed in three installments.

Chang'an people have long been accustomed to this. After reading official reports, imperial newspapers, and financial sections such as futures and bonds, they directly skipped the more than 20 pages of advertisements and went directly to the newspaper supplements, and then exclaimed again. Voice.

"Reward order!"

"The Tingwei Mansion is now issuing an announcement to all counties in Neishi. If the common people report that the powerful and guilds are illegally harming the people, once it is verified, the reward amount will range from one thousand to one hundred thousand yuan..."

The man was thinking about it and couldn't help but cast his eyes towards the place where the ancient cypress trees could be seen faintly in the distance.

Tingwei Mansion.

..............................

Lishan.

This place is a branch of the Qinling Mountains, stretching for forty to fifty miles from east to west. From a distance, the mountain looks like a horse, so it is named Lishan Mountain.

Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, this place has been a place for the rulers to enjoy and relax, so it is full of pavilions and pavilions.

At the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, far away from the bustling place, if you walk for more than ten miles along a relatively steep mountain road, you can see a green mountain valley covered with bamboos and more than a dozen houses scattered among them.

One of the houses is right by the river. The two-story bamboo building has no decoration at all. There is only a desk, a bamboo bed, a few large boxes, and nothing else. Even this only furniture, Only a layer of insect-proof and waterproof varnish was applied, making it completely natural.

Not only this bamboo house, but also the other small houses are naturally carved and decorated without any extra decoration and furniture for enjoyment.

shabby.

If a house is like this, it is undoubtedly shabby, but every house is like this, but it gives people a vague sense of otherworldliness, as if the people living here are the legendary 'houses in the human world, without cars and horses' The noisy hermit.

The black and white bamboo plaques hanging on both sides of the bamboo building's door reveal the identity of the residents.

ink person.

Naturally, the simplicity of the bamboo house is no longer simple, but a status symbol or an idea.

Be thrifty.

There is no extra furniture in the main building, which is another Mohist concept.

Save money.

This small settlement is where the Mohist Hidden Sect is located, and the owner of this bamboo building is Zhao Nan, the direct disciple of Pan Gong, the former leader of Song Dynasty and Mo, and the current leader of the Mohist Hidden Sect.

Zhao Nan's father was Zhao Ping, the Dongling Marquis of the former Qin State. After the fall of Qin State, Zhao Ping declined Liu Bang's invitation and followed the example of Boyi and Shu Qi who had gone to Zhongnan Mountain after the fall of Shang Dynasty. They refused to eat grains from the Han Dynasty...

But after three days and nine meals, he figured out one thing. The reason why the sages were sages was because they did things that future generations could not do.

So he went down the mountain again, but by then Liu Bang had become the King of Han. He led a group of people who were either filled with indignation or panic along the plank road to Hanzhong, and even burned the plank road with fire...

No one knows what Zhao Ping was thinking. People only know that Zhao Ping later bought a piece of land in the east of Chang'an City and became a melon farmer...

Well, they sell melons.

And Zhaoping melons are good, so the melons he planted have the reputation of Tangling melons...

However, Zhao Nan did not inherit the family business. Instead, by chance, he became a disciple of Pan Gong, the leader of Song Dynasty and Mo. Nominated by the public, he was unanimously elected as the leader of the Mohist Hidden Sect!
This is the Mohist's "Shang Xian".

Of course, some Mohists said that Zhao Nan was actually Pangong's illegitimate son... But this is purely slander, and it is the slander of the Mohist Yinzong by the Mohist Shangxiantang!
Therefore, Zhao Nan is going to hold a meeting of Mohists today to explain the Mohist classics to the Mohists of the Yin Sect, in order to prove that he became the leader of the Yin Sect not only because of the teacher's recommendation, but also because he is the 'sage'. ', is a sage chosen by God!
And this is the Mohist's 'unfate'.

In other words, as long as you have talent and ability, you can change your destiny!
I control my own life!
After the sun reached its zenith, hundreds of people gathered outside the bamboo building.

These are the elites of the Mohist Hidden Sect.

Among them were old and young, men and women.

This is another Mohist philosophy.

And love.

Under the Mohist concept of "frugal use", they all wore commoners and straw sandals, without any gold or jade decoration on their bodies, but what was stuck in their waists was only a wooden sword instead of an iron sword.

This is where Song Mo is different from Chu Mo. Chu Mo emphasized the use of swords to punish violence, while Song Mo advocated convincing people with reason. Therefore, wooden swords were used to symbolize "non-attack" to express the concept of being armed and not doing harm.

After a while, Zhao Nan slowly appeared at the door of the bamboo building, looked around, and sat on the ground.

The same goes for those ink writers.

No one cares whether sitting on the floor is comfortable or not.

Zhao Nan slowly spoke:
"Heaven loves people less than a saint loves people; it benefits people more than a saint benefits people. A great person loves small people less than a small person loves a great person; it benefits small people more than a saint does. The benefit of a small person is to the benefit of a great person.”

"Taking Zang as your relative, and loving him is not loving your relatives; taking Zang as your relative, and benefiting him, is not benefiting your relatives. Taking joy as loving your son, but wanting it for your son, (not ) Loves his son. Taking pleasure as a benefit to his son, but seeking it for his son is not a benefit to his son."

"In the body, the weight of power is called power. Quan means neither right nor wrong. Quan means right. Cut off the fingers to save the wrist. Choose the big among the benefits, and choose the small among the harms. Choose the smallest harm, not the harm, but the benefit."

"...When you meet a robber, it is beneficial to cut off your fingers to save yourself; when you meet a robber, it is harmful. Cutting off your fingers and cutting off your wrist are the same benefits in the world, there is no choice. Life or death, there is no choice. Kill one person to survive. In the world, it is not to kill one person to benefit the world; to kill oneself to save the world, it is to kill oneself to benefit the world. In the process of doing things, the importance of power is called seeking. Seeking to do it is wrong. To choose the smallest harm, seek to do it. Righteousness is not righteousness.”

……

What he was talking about was "Mozi Dachou".

This article talks about a lot, such as Mohist concepts such as heaven's will, universal love, frugality, frugal burial, etc., but the main point is actually the Confucian saying that "you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw, and he who gives up the fish to take the bear's paw" It's the same thing.

Taking the big means taking the big, which means that when faced with a choice, choose the 'big' and discard the 'small'!
On the bamboo tower, Zhao Nan kept talking.

Under the bamboo building, the ink artist was in a state of intoxication.

"In ancient times, when there was no criminal government in the early days of the people, they used the saying "people have different meanings". One person has one meaning, two people have two meanings, and ten people have ten righteousnesses... Therefore, father, son and brother are responsible for committing evil. Separation cannot harmonize each other. All the people in the world harm each other with water, fire, and poison. Even if they have the remaining strength, they cannot work with each other. They cannot share the decayed wealth with each other. They hide the good way and cannot teach each other. The chaos in the world is like that of animals."

"I understand that the reason why the world is in chaos is because there is no political leader. Therefore, the most virtuous person in the world is selected and established as the emperor..."

……

Zhao Nan is now talking about "Mozi Shang Tong".

This is the content of his speech today.

To put it simply, the electoral system is to be implemented in the Han Dynasty. Whether it is the emperor or the civil and military officials, they must first be recognized as wise by the 'countrymen' before they can be elected...

At this moment, several inappropriate sneers suddenly sounded in the distance.

"What a man without a king and a father!"

A group of Mohists turned their heads and looked over, and saw a rich old man with gray hair and many wrinkles, but his face was ruddy, his back was straight, and his pair of triangular eyes were sharp and sharp, which made people dare not look at him directly.

Zhao Nan frowned: "Who are you? Why did you break into the forbidden area of ​​our Mo family?"

A smile without any warmth appeared on the old man's face, and he softly said two words: "Hand in hand."

Zhao Nan asked again: "Is he waiting for the title of Tingwei?"

This time, the old man didn't answer at all, but nodded slightly to acknowledge.

In an instant, all the Yin Zong Mohist's eyes widened, and they didn't even dare to breathe too hard.

The shadow of the tree of names.

But the crux of the problem is that these Mohists have no idea what mistakes they have made!

They are all the leaders of various guilds in Guanzhong, especially Song Mo who advocates convincing people with reason. At most, he just opens the door for those 'righteous men'. He definitely did not violate Han law!
The important thing is that in Dahan, gatherings and lectures are not illegal, and there is no need to report to the official in advance!

So, why is Hou Feng, a veteran cool official, here?
make a sightseeing tour?

impossible!
While all the Mohists looked at each other in disbelief, Hou Feng walked straight up to the bamboo building, sat down facing the crowd, looked at the wolf and eagle, and said softly:
"how?"

"Aren't you going to run away?" (End of Chapter)
