warring states careerist

Chapter 356

Nie Zheng is not a Mohist figure.

Whether it was the Mohism before Mozi's death, or the Mohism that split into multiple factions after Mozi's death, Nie Zheng did not conform to the morality of Mohism.

Of course he knew Nie Zheng, and he had heard people say that the scar on Gong Zaoye's face was left by Nie Zheng. He had always been quite curious about the assassin and ranger who looked like a "long rainbow piercing the sun".

When he heard other Mohists talk about the origin of the scars on Gongzaoye's face before, he also felt that with Gongzaoye's excellent swordsmanship, if it weren't for Nie Zheng, who has a long rainbow shining through the sun, few people in the world would be able to fight one-on-one with him. Injured him... Although he has basically never seen Gong Zaoye make a move, he has seen Luo Xiaoli, who was knocked to the ground by Gong Zaoye's stick, kill someone.

Instead of talking about world affairs after drinking, I asked Gong Zaoye, who was a little depressed and worried about his friends, about Nie Zheng.

Gong Zaoye felt sad and sighed: "Sheng Chuo knows his ability, Wu Qi also knows his ability, there are many people in the world who know his ability, but they just want to borrow their ability. My friend is in danger of Xiaoyi!"

"Juzi once said that loving oneself is not for self-serving. It is not like others loving horses for using horses. I love this friend myself. If Yan Zhongzi knew the name of Nie Zheng, I am afraid that it was also spread by Wu Qi, thinking that the chaos in South Korea, He wants to assassinate the uncle of Marquis Han."

"Sheng Chuo and Mr. Qin's bond with Nie Zheng is only for his courage. But my friend, it's hard to tell what is love and what is use."

Gongzaoye is also one of the Seven Enlightenments of the Mohist School. He knows Mozi's knowledge very well, and his explanation of love is in line with the meaning of the Mohist School.

A few people jokingly said: "This is said, in fact, most people in the world are like this. Like a man and a woman, do you love your daughter as you love yourself? Or do you love your daughter for your own use?"

Shi could not help laughing, and said to himself that what Mozi said was really interesting after thousands of years. How is the love of self-love and the love of horses different?Among the horse riders, how many people love horses instead of using them?
After thinking about it for a while, I felt a little desire in my heart, so I hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "Before Wu Qi became famous, did you know him?"

Gong Zaoye laughed and said, "Naturally. When Xiangziniu invaded Lu, the giant persuaded Xiangziniu to stop fighting. During this period, Sheng Chuo was the number one general under Xiangziniu, and Wu Qi was the Marquis of Lu. You think I am Only then did I know him? Actually, I knew this person long before that."

I thought that Wu Qi's reputation started from guarding Xihe, or at least from Lu Guowei's general, but from Gong Zaoye's words, it seems that Wu Qi had some reputation in the circle of street warriors long before he became famous... The so-called Jianghu famous.

The Mohists were mostly active in the Central Plains, and Gongzaoye and Nie Zheng were old friends when they were young. Sometimes Gongzaoye would ask the Mohists who went north on official business to inquire. Naturally, they knew that many people were making friends with this powerful swordsman in the world.Gong Zaoye speculated that Yan Zhongzi's friendship with Nie Zheng was deliberately disclosed by Wu Qi, and it may not be impossible to cause civil strife in South Korea.

Hearing this question, Gong Zaoye took a sip of the wine, raised his head, recalled his youthful years, and sighed repeatedly.

"It was more than 20 years ago. At that time, I became famous in the market in Chudi, fighting people, avenging people, and doing what I thought of as 'chivalry' at that time. Later, I challenged the giant and was beaten up by the giant. Convince me later, and I will serve the giant and become a Mohist from then on."

"Later, Juzi felt that if the Mohist's business is to be successful and benefit the world, it must recruit disciples, and let the disciples serve as officials to persuade the king to follow the morality of the Mohist school."

"That year Guan Qianyu and I were ordered by the giant to go to Weiguo to lobby Marquis Wei and build momentum for Gao Shizi to become an official. You also know that my words are sharp compared to ordinary people, but compared to that Guan Qianyu who died young. Qianyu is far behind."

"He's the one to talk about the lobbying. Later, Gao Shizi became Wei Shangqing. It can be seen that many of you have never seen the benefits of Guan Qianyu's words. Hey..."

Many figures in the Mohist school have passed away prematurely. The first to third heirs selected by Mozi have actually died young.

Gongzao suppressed the sadness in his heart, and then said: "The giant asked me to go to Luoyang along the way after finishing the work in Weidi, and recruit some people from the market to join the Mohism. One is that my swordsmanship is not bad, and the other is that the people in the market I'm also familiar with that set."

Shi nodded, thinking that it was natural, although Mozi could fight and speak, but he was incapable of doing both. To recruit disciples in the market to expand the reputation of the Mohist school, Gongzaoye was really the best candidate.

Gong Zaoye smiled and said: "At that time, there were several people in the city of Weiguo. If I didn't know the courage of a gentleman as the giant said at that time, if I was still a knight-errant in the city, I would have challenged them to compete. In the name of courage."

"At that time, in the market of Weiguo, Wu Qi was the No. 1 ranger. How could I not know his reputation?"

"Back then when he was in Dingtao, his family had a lot of private land, was rich, and was born as a scholar. It's a pity that he was only a scholar, not a nobleman, so he wanted to study in order to gain fame. Traveling abroad cost a lot of money. In the end, nothing can be achieved, and people in the market will inevitably ridicule."

"He picked 34 people by himself, and after using his feet to disperse the crowd, he killed them all. He became famous for a while. How could I not know about such a common man?"

Shi knew that Wu Qi had killed people in the marketplace, and that he had killed dozens of people, but he didn't know that he did not kill them secretly, but opened Wushuang in the marketplace, killing all 30 people.

He couldn't help thinking about Nie Zheng's fleeing to avoid disaster, and also about the rumors about Wu Qi's mother's death. Expelled by Zeng Shen? At that time, he killed someone, so mother was not implicated?"

The two people next to him also looked at Shi, laughed a few times, Gong Zaoye said: "You are not a person in the market, and you don't know the rules of the market. Wu Qi was ridiculed by others, so he made an appointment with everyone, and the disaster was not as good as his family. If you are afraid of death, you don't accept the fight. Since you accept it, you will be ridiculed if you go to harm your family. The street knight is not afraid of death, but is most afraid of being ridiculed. Since Wu Qi made an appointment with them, he killed one by one 34 people, it means that the challenger is not capable, and it is normal in the market rules."

"It's just that so many people have been killed, this Si Kou still needs to be in charge. Since he fled out of Weiguo, he can't be in charge."

"At that time, he didn't directly flee to Lu to study in Zeng Shenna, but wanted to study in Jin. One is that Zixia didn't talk about 'restraining oneself and returning to the rituals', so that he could achieve fame; the other is that when Qin Huali rebelled against Confucianism and returned to Mo, the world was shocked. At that time, Qin Huali had already learned the art of defending the city from his husband, and he was active in the Three Jin Dynasty; the third was the rumor that Bi Wan, who was only a mere man, finally achieved the position of Shangqing, and there were many military meritorious titles in Jin..."

Shi suddenly understood, otherwise, with Wu Qi's character, how could he go directly to the most moral Zeng Shen?Otherwise, when Wei Wenhou used Wu Qi, how would Li Kui, Duan Ganmu and others know this person's talent and character?It turned out to be here.

Gong Zaoye went on to say: "I went all the way west from Weidi, and persuaded 30 people in the market along the way to follow Juzi. During this period, I also heard about several famous people."

"That year I was in Zhicheng, which was only a hundred miles away from Luoyang. It was there that I met Nie Zheng and Wu Qi. At that time, Zhicheng was the strongest. My swordsmanship was unrivaled in Chu, Nie Zheng's name is also widely heard in Jin, and Wu Qi even killed 34 people in Wei..."

"I thought at the time, if these two people could understand the courage of a gentleman in the Mohist school, Juzi must be delighted to accept these two disciples. Because... at that time, you had not yet joined the Mohist school, and Juzi hoped that the Mohist would be good at fighting and defend the city so as to promote the world. Non-gong, so most of the disciples who were recruited at that time were brave and ruthless, and the giant will train them slowly."

Shi smiled and said: "The giant was also very powerful at the time, I think about the characters of our Mohism... Qu Jiang, Xian Zhishuo, you, Luo Xiaoli, Gao He, Suo Lucan... who are they? "

When everyone heard this, they laughed one after another. They couldn't help but lamented the demeanor of Mozi back then, and lamented that Mozi was old now.

These few people, in the appropriate words, before joining the Mohist School, were all... energetic leaders of social organizations.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn" once commented on these people.

Zi Zhang, Lu's despicable family; Yan Zhuoju, Liang's father's great thief; learned from Confucius.Duan Ganmu, the great master of the state of Jin, learned from Zixia.Gao He and Xian Zishuo, also the tyrants of the Qi State, refer to their hometown songs and learn from Zi Mozi.Solushen, the giant cunning of the East, learned from poultry slippery.These six people, who were tortured to death and humiliated, are not exempt from being tortured to death and humiliated today, so they are famous people in the world.

Gao He and Xian Zishuo are thugs in Qi State, Suo Lucan was originally a well-known fraudster in the East, most of them are "chivalrous", fighting against nobles, because killing a few ordinary people will not be called a thug at this time , Civilians have nothing to deceive.

It can only be said that Mozi's ability to train his disciples is indeed rare in the world.Although I have never seen Mozi make a move, I think those "violent" and "giant cunning" people can't be subdued by just lip service.

After Gong Zaoye smiled, he recalled his youthful yearning look on his face, and sighed: "Nie Zheng was a knight-errant in Zhicheng at that time, and he often took revenge or fought injustice for others. Wu Qi had just entered Jin Dynasty and wanted to be famous. I want to use this well-known figure in the market to show off my reputation; I hope that these two people will serve the giants under the righteousness of the Mohist."

"After going back and forth, I became friends with Nie Zheng. He is a man of loyalty in the market, and it's okay to be friends. However, at that time, our Mohists had to 'obey the rules and discipline', and he didn't want to be restrained, no matter what. Join the Mohists."

"He and I had an argument about 'Dayi' and 'Xiaoyi'. Later, when I was young, I got angry. Nie Zheng asked me, what did I achieve when I joined the Mohist school?" The courage of a gentleman?"

"I asked him, how many of those who made good friends with you love you, or are they just to use you? You are immersed in this dream of being sought after, and you uphold small righteousness, and you will suffer disaster in the future."

"Nie Zheng and I fell out because of this kind of dispute. Since neither of us could persuade the other, we fought. I was still young at that time, and although I followed the giant, I still had a brave and ruthless heart. You Happy to see what you said."

"I was thinking about what the giant did when he accepted me as his disciple, so I wanted to convince him first, and then explain the truth to him."

"It was a big sensation at the time. He had long been famous in Zhe City, and he was the number one swordsman of the Three Jins. We competed, and Wu Qi thought about it. After we finished the competition, he would fight us the winner and won. Afterwards, he can become famous in Jin, and he can also study. You have to know that you need fame to study. If you are not famous and you are not a nobleman, how many people will accept you?"

Gong Zaoye chuckled, and said, "Although it is said that the giants can accept apprentices, common farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are welcome, but the acceptance of apprentices by the giants was extremely strict back then, not ordinary people can be apprentices. The same is true for every family."

I thought about the disciples that Mozi had accepted, and then I thought about the influence of Mozi before but only a few hundred people. I also understand that at this time, I have to learn real skills when I study, and I have to have my own skills in sincerity, otherwise it will be very difficult to be accepted. For official disciples.
