warring states careerist

Chapter 262
This historical trend is the biggest reliance, and everything that Shi has done before is to accelerate the process of this historical trend and has not changed the overall situation.

As long as the king of Chu dies, the situation in the whole world will inevitably be like this.Only Han Wei participated in the matter of entering the prince of the Three Jin Dynasties, and the Zhao people would then prepare to stab a knife in the back.

The people of Wei won Daliang and moved their capital to the Central Plains, which would inevitably lead to the conquest of Wei by all countries, and would never allow an aggressive Wei in the Central Plains.

The decline of the Chu people and the southward migration of the Yue people are all certain things, and it is inevitable for the Mohists to manage Pengcheng.

In the past, there may still be many doubts.

But now, with the battle of Shangqiu, Shi's vision has been approved by the Mohists, and the "grasp" of the general trend of the world is also convinced by all the Mohists.

After he said it, everyone agreed after discussing it.

In the end, the Battle of Shangqiu made Mohists see the hope of "the sword of the world", and of course the longer and sharper the sword, the better.

And now the conditions are considered mature. After three years in Peiyi, Peiyi is not far from Pengcheng, the two places can speak the language, the climate is similar, and there is iron development, everything is ready.

The matter in Shangqiu is too complicated. Even if the Advisory Council is established, the Mohist School can only have enough influence within a few years, and then as time goes by, the influence will gradually weaken.

At least it will not be like now, with the full support of defeating the Chu army, borrowing food, etc., so it is extremely important for the Mohist family to have a foundation that can support their own development.

Just as what Shi said, all Mohists also think that Peiyi is too small, and they can only make appointments with Shangqiu but not the world, so if they follow Shi's path, they must manage Pengcheng.

Looking at it now, Shi's method of coordinating the world is still useful, and it does not conflict with Mozi's ideas.

Mozi's philosophy is to reason and let the king take the lead.

Shi absolutely never expressed his opposition to reasoning, but only said that in addition to reasoning, some other constraints should be added appropriately, such as an army controlled by the Mohist.

Reasoning needs to be coordinated with fists, and Mozi has never objected to this point: when he entered Chu alone to explain the truth to the King of Chu and Gongshu Ban, Mozi did not forget to let Qin Huali lead the disciples of the Mohist school to guard Shangqiu. It was those three hundred disciples who made his reasoning convincing.

Mozi looked at the simple map with great interest, nodded for a while and said: "From this point of view, if Nengpei and Pengcheng are both dyed with ink, the Central Plains will be more confident in eliminating soldiers. The warlike king of the world would not dare to Move lightly."

"Today, my Mohists can ally with the King of Chu with hundreds of elites within five steps. In the future, if there are more than [-] troops in formation, with gunpowder, it will really make the warlike kings of the world wait and see."

"It's just... if this matter is to be done, not only the consent of the common people, but also the approval of the Court of Gentlemen, is considered within the rules."

When Mozi was thinking about whether he would send someone to explain the significance of this matter to the Song Dynasty to the nobles and Duke Song, some Mozi reported back, saying that it was the emperor Yueling who asked to see him.

Shi waited for the disciple to be overjoyed, knowing that the emperor's father Yueling came here, and he must ask for something.

Mozi looked around at the disciples, named Shi's name and said, "In that case, follow me to see Emperor Yueling."

Shi took the order, and the rest of the Mohists discussed for a while, then went to busy with the affairs in Shangqiu city, continued to build momentum and continue to prepare.

…………

It was not the first time for the emperor's father Yueling to meet Mo Zi, nor was it the first time to discuss with Mohists.

It's just that when he saw Mozi appearing with appropriateness, the emperor's father Yueling was still terrified, knowing that many changes in the Mo family were made by this person, and today's matter may not be so easy.

He doesn't really like dealing with He Shi, and actually he doesn't like dealing with Mozi either.

For this person, in the eyes of the emperor Yueling, he was a little unclear. He didn't know what this person was thinking, and many thoughts were unexpected, which were not what he should have at this time.

Mozi is the kind of person who is confident and proud. What he insists on is difficult for others to convince.

When these two kinds of people got together, Emperor Yueling didn't want to face it, but he had to.

After the two parties saw the ceremony, Shi also carefully looked at the emperor's father Yueling. There were many rumors about this person's deeds in Shangqiu City, and he also knew that Dai's taking Song was closely related to this person's son.

However, Dai's acquisition of the Song Dynasty could not be completed overnight. By the time of the actual acquisition of the Song Dynasty, it must have become a matter of course, which shows the ability of this person.

Furthermore, some things in the defense of the city before made Shi Shi full of vigilance against this person.

After sitting down with Mozi, Shi first listened to the compliment and thanks from the emperor's father Yueling, and then talked for a long time about benefiting the world.

Mozi smiled and didn't speak, and didn't answer Shi Shi, knowing that this person's purpose was definitely not like that, so he could only wait quietly.

After the emperor's father, Yueling, finally got down to business, he talked about the autonomy of Peiyi.

He has read Mohism's articles, and he has read them thoroughly. Although he absolutely disagrees with some of the rules and principles in them, he understands the logic behind them.

So after telling it according to the logic inside, Mozi was a little surprised and praised: "You are not wrong about this matter."

The emperor's father Yueling said: "If the annual tax amount can be fixed, it will be beneficial to the public and the society of Song Dynasty."

It is impossible for Peixian County to withhold all the taxes, because there is no ancestral temple in Peixian County, so according to the past rules, the tax is used as sacrifice expenses, and part of it must be sent to Shangqiu as the expense of offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple.

And if Peiyi is not a fief of a doctor, then all the taxes cannot be retained, because the doctor himself also needs sacrifices.

The emperor's father Yueling finished talking about the tax, and then said: "As for the fu, what the Mohists conceived is exactly in line with the interests of Song Dynasty. With only three hundred righteous teachers, they can pass through the formation and break through Chu. This kind of fu is like a chariot. Hundred times."

"It's just that I'm afraid Dayin and the others won't agree to this matter."

He glanced at Mozi, then at Shi, and said softly: "When defending the city, the granary was burned. It is said that it was the secret work of the Chu people, but it is unknown. There will be a coup in a few days. Whose death? Don’t the Mohists have no doubts about the granaries that were burned by the scholars?”

"Thinking about it this way, they burned the granary, and the people were angry with defending the city, and they also hated the Mohists who defended the city. Dayin and others have always been friends with the Chu people. This time the Chu people besieged the city, they are only afraid of joy in their hearts."

"However, if they do this, it may lead to a famine in Shangqiu and starve thousands of households to death. This is something I cannot bear."

After speaking, he let out a long sigh, as if he was worried about the people in Shangqiu City.

Shi took a look at Mozi who didn't change his face, and laughed secretly in his heart. He had long said that the nobles' schemes were bloody and dirty. In the internal discussions of the Mohist family, Shi never refrained from thinking about these nobles with the most vicious attitude.

Therefore, the earliest version that Mozi heard about the burning of the granary was a guess made by Shi: not only guessing what Dayin and others did, but also guessing what Sichenghuang and others did.

After all, if reinforcements from the Three Jins arrive when the city is in trouble, the Sichenghuang clan will also benefit more.

Now the emperor's father Yueling put the responsibility on Dayin first, but Mozi had preconceived ideas in his heart, he had heard Shi's vicious speculation, and he just sneered in his heart, watching the performance of the emperor Yueling expressionlessly.

The emperor's father, Yueling, couldn't see through Mozi's mind, wanted to see Shi but saw that Shi's face still had that indifferent smile that made him a little dissatisfied, and knew that he couldn't read his words today.

Then he said again: "Da Yin and the others tried to establish the uncle as the king, but met with obstruction from the Mo family. Don't they have resentment in their hearts? Wouldn't such resentment hinder what the Mo family wanted to do?"

"So, within the Gentleman's Court, I'm afraid that Dayin and the others will never agree to the Peixian matter in order to retaliate."

Mozi was silent for a moment, then said, "Can you understand how the rules of the Inquiry Council work?"

The emperor's father Yueling nodded and said: "The Mohist Xuanyi Department preaches all day long. Even if I am not as smart as a saint, I can understand it earlier than the common people. Your Xuanyi Department wants the common people to understand, how can I not understand it?" understand?"

At this time, the rules have not yet been set, but I just borrowed some experience from the previous life, trying not to make it difficult for the nobles to accept, so as to avoid some irreconcilable contradictions.

Therefore, the power of the Gentlemen's Court is still very large, because they are too young and they will never agree. Even though the rules have not been formally established at this time, in fact, they communicate with each other secretly, which is basically settled.

According to the so-called "electing the emperor" idea of ​​the Mohists, Ling Yin of the Consulting Yuan was elected by the Common People's Yuan.

However, because they were worried that the nobles would unite to strangle against the Mohist family, the Mohist family would not become Song's first Ling Yin under such circumstances, but decided to give up to the noblemen.

Because there are still conflicts among the nobles, the conflict between Si Chenghuang and Liuqing, the Mo family must take advantage of it, and they cannot stand up at this time and let them bridge the gap and deal with the Mo family together.

Compared with Ling Yin and the old aristocrats who are slightly more powerful, the Mohists themselves are also planning to choose the Sichenghuang lineage, thereby increasing the rift between the two sides and making their struggle fierce.

The term "electing the Son of Heaven" was not aimed at all the people in the first place, and was essentially monopolized by the nobles.

Ordinary people do not have such fame, nor do they have enough ability, at least at this time, it is impossible to have it.

And the Mo family, the only one that can contend, is absolutely impossible to stand out at this time.

However, the power and responsibility of Ling Yin of the Consulting Council cannot be large enough at this time, because in the previous three oaths, Song Gong still needs to guarantee the interests and official positions of the nobles within ten years.

All of this is the result of Shi Shi wanting the Mo family to be a crap stick: no matter who becomes Ling Yin, he has to rely on the power of the people to suppress the other faction, so he has to sell some of their interests above the bottom line.

The autonomy of Peixian County needs to be ordered by the Inquiry Yuan, according to the rules basically determined by the Inquiry Yuan, which will be convened for the first time.

If you want to be the Ling Yin of the Xunzhengyuan, you must be elected by the people, and if you want to be elected by the people, you must make a deal with the Mohists at this time, because the Xuanyi Department of the Mohists controls the public opinion in Shangqiu: Even if the Mohists are not qualified, they must Willing to be this Lingyin, but not allowing others to be, until it becomes a mess.

The meaning of the emperor's father Yueling is already very clear: the Mohists cannot allow Dayin and others to become Lingyin of the Consulting Yuan, because they have enmity with you, and they will definitely oppose your wishes.

And if your Mo family can help our imperial father's family to rise to power, we will become Ling Yin. In return, we will absolutely support your Mo family's request for Pei County.

However, he didn't know that the Mo family's appetite at this time was not only for Pei County, but also for Pengcheng, which was supposed to be the second capital.
