I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 313 I want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine

The Mohist caravan was not in a hurry on the road, and it took two days to arrive at Handan City.

Next, they needed to go south to the Chu region, which was far from the direction Tiying went east to Chang'an, so they had to go their separate ways.

However, Chen Luo made arrangements for this secretly.

There is a branch of the Mohist family in Handan City. They originally planned to send a caravan to Hexi County for purchasing at the end of the month. At his own instruction, the departure time was advanced three days later, and the destination was also changed to Guanzhong. It happened to be on the same road as Tiying, so it was guaranteed her safety.

After all, after hearing about her deeds, those Mohist disciples were very happy to escort her, both in public and private matters.

According to Chunyu Yi's family background, Tiying's daily life is at least above the average level, not to mention wealthy. However, in order to redress her father's grievances and be punished on his behalf, she had to sleep in the open air along the way and became dark and thin, as if Firewood piled beside the stove in a common people's home.

Tiying's behavior is definitely worthy of publicity and praise in a man who rules the world with filial piety.

As for personal likes and dislikes, Chunyu Yi did not actually commit a crime. He was persecuted by those powerful and powerful people and was imprisoned just now.

Almost all Mohist disciples hate those unreasonable powerful people, so they naturally sympathize with Tiying's experience.

Chen Luo did nothing more except hiding his identity among the crowd and communicating with Tiying several times while the motorcade was traveling, and arranging the matter after arriving in Handan.

Although he wrote a letter, relying on the power of deterrence, he could easily get the dignitaries of Qi to release Chun Yuyi from prison, or write a letter to Liu Heng to accuse the dignitaries of Qi of their arrogant and domineering behavior, which would definitely make him Those people were punished, but if they did so, it would violate the original vision of abolishing corporal punishment.

If she chooses the former method, then while Tiying is grateful to herself, she will definitely not go to Chang'an again.

If you do this, you will probably leave an image of "Master Qingtian" in some unofficial historical gossip, and then you will have no other use.

The abolition of corporal punishment lacks the catalyst of "Ti Ying saves her father". Based on an optimistic scenario, I am afraid it will have to continue for another ten to twenty years, thousands more victims will be caused, and tens of thousands of families will suffer tragedies.

The latter method is not essentially different from the former, and may even be worse.

You must know that he refused the conquest and established an image of having no intention of politics and returning to his hometown to retire. If he suddenly revised his book and interfered with Qidi affairs, Liu Heng would give himself face, but he would not have a suitable reason to refuse the subsequent conquest.

What's more, with his own intervention, with Liu Heng's deep mind, he may start to consider whether Tiying is a chess piece ordered, and what purpose it has. Even if he originally supported the abolition of corporal punishment, after being affected, it is estimated that he will not be very Make decisions decisively.

In this way, it is self-defeating.

Therefore, regarding Tiying's matter, Chen Luo decided to maintain the status quo for the time being. At most, he would send a letter to Zhang Cang, so that Tiying's process of going to Beijing to submit a letter would not be too difficult, and he would no longer intervene.

If something unexpected happens, for example Liu Heng does not choose to abolish corporal punishment as he did in history, or simply ignores Tiying's petition, at worst he will take action to save Chunyu Yi when the time comes.

After all, there are no highly skilled doctors within the Mohist family, but Mohist disciples who have been traveling abroad for a long time often encounter some difficult and complicated diseases. Many times, their fellow disciples can only watch and worry, but can't do anything.

Chunyu Yi happened to be proficient in the "Mai Jing" and good at preparing medicines, so he was a rare talent.

Another reason why Chen Luo helped Tiying was to win Chun Yuyi's favor, so that he could be invited to the Mo family after he was spared from prison.

Three days later, the Mohist caravan left Handan, crossed the river, walked through Qi, and was about to arrive in Chu.

"I came back a little late, and I can't smell the sweet-scented osmanthus." One evening, when the convoy was camping in the suburbs to rest, Chen Luo looked at a golden leaf falling slowly on the ginkgo tree beside the road, and sighed, "But at least I can Catch the first snowfall in Chudi."

Beside him were several young Mohist disciples sitting around. They looked at Chen Luo with admiration mixed with a bit of curiosity.

Within the Mo family, the only person with a heavier weight than Chen Luo is probably Mo Zhai.

Mozi founded the Mohist school, while Chen Luo redefined and popularized the Mohist school.

Many of the older generation of Mohists have mentioned to them that at the end of the Warring States Period and the Qin Dynasty, the grand occasion of "neither Confucianism nor Mohism" was no longer the case. At that time, Qi Mohism disappeared and Chu Mohism struggled to survive. He has a place, but he can’t even get into the middle level and can only play the role of a craftsman.

Under such circumstances, Chen Luo reintegrated the three Mohist factions and gave them a new direction. As for material support, it exceeded the support of any previous monarch for the Mohist family.

What's even more impressive to Mohists is that after Chen Luo reintegrated the Mohist family, instead of choosing to take the position of the giant, he abolished it and instead chose one person each from the original Chu Mo, Qin Mo, and Qi Mo. , and he served as the "talker" together.

If a major decision needs to be made within the Mo family, at least three people must agree before it can be implemented.

This is something that the new Mohist disciples have become accustomed to, but when this decision was first promulgated, the impact it had on the older generation of Mohists was earth-shattering.

Knowing that Chen Luo gave up his status as a giant was enough to puzzle them.

According to the Mohist tradition, they must be loyal to the great master, and even if the great master gives an order to commit suicide, they must execute it without hesitation.

In any era, there is no problem at all if you have hundreds of dead soldiers under your command and occupy a county.

But Chen Luo not only refused to become a tycoon, but also announced that he would abolish the status of tycoon and replace it with a "talker", dividing the original power into four, but not only weakening it by [-]%.

After all, the current Mohist school is equivalent to having four theoretical leaders, so Mohist disciples can no longer be like before, where a certain leader issues completely unreasonable orders, and they all have to execute them. Instead, they have room for detours. .

Chen Luo felt the eyes of the Mohist disciples around him focused on him, smiled and said, "Are you drinking?"

Two people shook their heads, while the other three or four people responded loudly: "Mr. Chen, we drink, but we only drink a little."

Wine is brewed from grain, and the Mohist teachings have the idea of ​​"frugal use", so they rarely drink for pleasure.

Only one Mohist disciple, who looked very young, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, I know how to drink."

Regarding this outstanding existence, Chen Luo looked at him and felt that his appearance was somewhat familiar.

So he smiled and asked: "You like drinking, why is that?"

"A real man is born in heaven and earth. When he sees injustice, he needs to draw his sword. After performing a righteous deed, he naturally has to drink wine to cheer up." The young-looking Mohist disciple said plausibly.

Chen Luo laughed loudly and said: "You are not old, but you have such ambitions. Not bad, not bad. What is your name?"

I always admire the brave warriors who draw swords when they see bad guys on the road.When they see bad people doing whatever they want, most people think about their parents, wives and children at home and have some concerns and will not choose to come forward. This is human nature and there is no need to be harsh.

In many cases, it is the social reality that "everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and does not care about the frost on other people's tiles".

But when you see a righteous person who stands up for others and the weak, you should praise him loudly!

Although it can't be reached, my heart yearns for it.

As for those sour and jealous words, and mocking words that think they are smart, they will not only chill the hearts of those who do justice, but will also make the overall atmosphere of the entire society worse and worse.

The Mohist disciple scratched his head in embarrassment, not expecting that his remarks just now would attract praise from Chen Luo.

However, he straightened his back and spoke confidently: "Mr. Chen, my name is Guo Xie. I am already fifteen years old, so I am not too young."

"Huh? Your surname is Guo, who is Guo Li?" Chen Luo recalled the figure who once threatened profiteers alone with a sword in the market, and found that Guo Xie's face was [-]-[-]% similar to him.

"That's my uncle, and he's also my second most admired person." Guo Xie replied, his face full of pride.

Guo Li became the leader of Chu Mo's branch at the end of Qin Dynasty. After the Mohist family changed to the talker system, he was naturally selected as one of the first four talkers until he stepped down due to illness seven years ago.

"So he's Brother Guo's nephew." Chen Luo reached out and patted Guo Xie on the shoulder, but he felt that the other party gave him another familiar feeling, but he couldn't figure out the reason for the moment.

He continued to sigh: "Your uncle and I were very good partners during his lifetime, and I admired him very much as a person. It's a pity that I couldn't meet him before he passed away."

Guo Li is a very pure kind of good person. When he encounters something that makes him uncomfortable on the road, he always goes forward with his sword. When he gets older, when he encounters similar situations, he will use a cane in one hand and a sword in the other.

Very Chu Mo’s chivalrous spirit!

During the period when he led the Mohist family, all Mohist disciples hated evil as much as they hated evil.

At that time, many people followed their own requirements and went to the local areas to investigate corrupt officials.

They encountered such an extreme kind of bug that they couldn't even wait to report it to Chen Luo, so they secretly broke into other people's mansions at night, used swords to force them to hand over evidence of corruption, and threw it into their boss's house the next day. door.

Of course, the Mohists do not advocate the use of violence to counter violence. Except for those extremely vicious thieves, they rarely use such methods.

"Mr. Chen, it's okay." Guo Xie pursed his lips. His face, which was originally full of pride, suddenly dropped a bit at this moment.

"When my uncle was seriously ill, someone asked him if he wanted to write to you. My uncle refused at the time and said..." He recalled Guo Li's answer in a low voice, "Mr. Chen is a man who does great things. I It's a blessing to be able to follow him and see peace in the world, otherwise he would have died anonymously in the Puyang market, why bother him anymore because of me?"

"Then I didn't receive the news until your uncle passed away." Chen Luo raised his head helplessly, remembering that it seemed to be an unusual afternoon, and he opened a letter sent from Chudi with a little doubt. Letter, seeing that sorry news.

Just like a strong horse cannot catch up with a person who has left, no matter how fast an arrow is, it cannot reach the other side of the long river of time.

However, I once heard a quite interesting theory called the Big Crunch of the universe. Everything will happen again in reverse. The train leaving will reverse and enter the station. Heavy rain will flow into the sky. The loosened hands will slowly tighten. People embrace each other again...

But it is just a romantic conjecture that cannot be confirmed. No one knows what the end of the universe will be like.

A heat death that returns to darkness, or will be torn into nothingness.

Chen Luo tried to force out a smile, but in the end he said calmly: "Your uncle, he has been so stubborn in his life, and he can't change the things he believes in.

At the beginning, he said that I was someone worthy of being followed by the Mohist family. I was only in my weak years at that time. How could I afford such a title? He rejected your uncle without even thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, he always believed that he was right, followed me silently, and helped me with a lot of things.

Your uncle said he was very grateful to me. In fact, I am also very grateful to have your uncle here. "

Without Guo Li and the help of Mohist disciples, there are too many things I would not be able to accomplish.

This is Chen Luo's heartfelt voice.

If they hadn't painstakingly investigated the "Assassination Case" that shocked the Han Dynasty, how could Jing Wang Liu Jiao be exposed so easily?

During his tenure as the imperial censor, if they had not visited Kyushu, his workload and difficulty would have skyrocketed, and he would not have been able to do it as perfectly.

What's more, the existence of Mohist craftsmen and Mohist caravans is an existence that cannot be replicated by oneself. You must know that craftsmen with faith are easy to find, but merchants with faith are hard to find even with a lantern.

Chen Luo unknowingly kept talking for a long time, regardless of whether the young disciples of the Mo family around him understood or not.

After speaking a little dry, he looked around and looked at the slightly confused expressions on their faces, and couldn't help but chuckle.

This is so similar to myself more than 20 years ago. All I think about is how to move forward faster and defeat the opponents one after another in front of me. Unlike now, I just want to go slower.

Looking at the ginkgo leaves falling on the roadside, Chen Luo carefully counted the old friends who had left.

"In the 17th year of the Han Dynasty, General Zhongli passed away; in the 19th year of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Sheng passed away; in the 21st year of the Han Dynasty, Sima Xin passed away. In the same year..."

Those familiar faces remain in my memory and will never change with time.

If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager.

There are not many friends who stay in Chudi, waiting for me to go back, and then greet them with fou.

Chen Luo looked much relieved when he looked at the energetic faces around him.

No one can be young forever, but there are always people who are young.

But there are still many old guys who can drink alcohol!
