warring states careerist

Chapter 475
It is precisely that the princes have the country and the doctor has the family.

Merchants have no country, ordinary people have no home, and handicrafts have no land.

This is the rule of the times, but with the development of productivity, this rule is disintegrating spontaneously, but the conservative forces are still huge.

In terms of economic attributes, Ji Sunluan is no longer a person from the old era, which is an important factor for Wei Rang's success in persuasion.

Ji Sunluan's thoughts actually didn't agree with the Mohists, and he didn't even know much about them, but in the face of interests, it was easy to stand on the side that the Mohists wanted.

Every county has talents.

Fei country is neither big nor small, if you talk about talents, there are always some nobles who have studied some morals of the Mohist school, and there are even nobles who think the morality of the Mohist school is reasonable, but thinking that it is reasonable does not mean that they will do it .

Ji Sunluan is an economic "person" who has stepped into a new era, but his brain and thinking are still stuck in the old era.

And those who have studied Mohist theory, their brains and thinking have entered the new era, but their economic attributes remain in the old era.

In the palace of Feiguo, after several days of persuasion and negotiation, there was still no progress. The conditions proposed by the Mohists were like asking the king to enter the urn and asking the king to put a noose to the nobles. It was impossible to accept no matter what.

Fei Jun looked sad and slightly angry, only a few servants were left around him.

One of the servants is the most special, with a beautiful and fair appearance.

As the Yue people's song sang: what evening is this evening, the boat is in the middle of the boat.What day is it today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince.Be ashamed and be good, don't be ashamed.I was so upset that I learned about the prince.There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king, and the king does not know it.

This handsome man punted the boat and saw that Mr. Chu was beautiful, so he sang to him.So Young Master Chu pulled out his coat of arms, embraced them as he walked, and covered them with the embroidered quilt.

Masculinity is like this, but because of the existence of social status, the monarch must attack and the close servant must accept.

Being able to be a close servant of the king's bedside person is not only beautiful in appearance, but also talented, especially good at reading poetry and books, and quite knowledgeable.

This person is also from aristocratic background, with a surname and family name, and because the fief is in the south of Zheshan Mountain, most people call him Zheyangzi. This son is not called a prince, but a respectful name. Of course, the monarch would not call himself that. Male favorite.

Zhe Yangzi has also read more Mohist books these years, and has gained a lot. In the past few days, Meng Sheng and others and Fei Jun persuaded him to also often accompany him.

He is one of the few nobles who is aware of the current crisis in the capital, and he is not as optimistic about the affairs in the city as the others.

This time Meng Sheng was aggressive and refused to budge an inch. He didn't make concessions before and after the Battle of Lushui at all. There were more than forty items that remained unchanged, added, and deleted.

The Mohists are aggressive in military force, although Meng Sheng is only a scholar when it comes to his background, and his family is regarded as a sergeant, but the power behind him is as great as when Wu Yue Chu was the king and watched China's government, and he has no respect for the monarch. Natural respect for identity.

Now that another day has passed, Zhe Yangzi sees his lover Fei Jun looks tired, so he invites him into the bedroom, after a while Fei Jun frowned slightly, Zhe Chengzi wiped his mouth with cotton.

Fei Jun let out a long sigh, and Zhe Yangzi knew why his lover was worried, and knew that this was a state matter rather than a private matter, so he addressed him as Jun Dao: "Your Majesty, there is a lot of chaos in the city and the people of the country are like fire, so we must investigate."

Fei Jun heaved a sigh and said, "Why don't I know? It's just that the Mohist reforms are unacceptable."

Zhe Yangzi nodded and said: "Since this is the case, we must prevent the riots of the people of the country. You can invite the doctor and the six ministers to quell the chaos, and each lead private soldiers into the capital to suppress the people of the country."

He stretched out his hand, made a gesture of beheading and said: "The people are ignorant and afraid of death, seeking profit and suffering. If you kill a few people, you may be at peace. If you drive away Mohist people and close the country, there is still something to be done at this time. Insurable."

Fei Jun nodded, then shook his head and said: "I also have the same intention. It's just that the Mohists practice righteousness. If I do this, the Mohists will say that I am an unrighteous king. The righteous teacher is strong, and the more powerful you are, the more invincible you are, let alone us. A country of hundreds of times?"

This is a fact. The reason why the people of Fei Country can make a fuss is because of the existence of Sishang, who serves as a strong backing to strengthen everyone's courage.

The Mohists wrote about punishing unrighteousness in the "Mo Jing". The king of Fei Guo knew the consequences of doing so, so although he wanted to solve it in the simplest way, he couldn't solve it in the simplest way.

Fei Jun looked at Zhe Chengzi, tender love finally surfaced on his face, he drove away a trace of unhappiness and said: "Although your method cannot be implemented, it is for my own good."

Zhe Chengzi also smiled, but took a step back, and said with the courtesy of a courtier: "Although the Mohists say that punishment is unjust, how can the rulers of Qin, Wei, and Qi be called righteous? The Mohists are not willing to be punished, but they cannot be punished."

"If you only look at Sishang's affairs, you may have no solution. If you agree with the Mohists, you will mess up the government and abolish the etiquette, and the country will be in chaos; if you don't agree, you may have people from the country to betray the king."

"But if you look at the world, this matter can be solved."

"One is to delay, just say that this matter will be discussed again to stabilize the people of the country. The secret call doctor Shangqing has a family to protect the country and gather private soldiers into the capital."

"The second is to revise several books, ask for help from Qi and Wei, and use the power of Qi and Wei to subdue the Mohists."

Fei Jun smiled wryly and said, "Fei Xiao. A widow is like a sheep."

"The Mohists are like tigers, Qi and Wei are like wolves, and the widows are like sheep. It is unwise to invite wolves to drive away tigers. If I were a leopard, I might be able to drive away tigers and devour wolves. Fei Xiao is like a sheep, this is absolutely impossible."

Fei country was able to establish a country in Sishang by surviving in the cracks between big countries.The stronger the Yue State, the more close it is to Qi, so that the Yue State dare not annex it, and the Qi State cannot penetrate deeply.

There are still monarchs of this kind of wisdom Feiguo.

However, Zhe Yangzi said: "The teacher is famous, and I am famous, so that Qi and Wei can only fight against the Mohists and not invade our land."

Fei Jun frowned and asked, "What's your name?"

Zhe Yangzi said solemnly and solemnly: "Protect the rites! Seek benevolence. This matter cannot be said to ask Qi and Wei to help Kuang and Fei's society, but to ask all countries to maintain the ritual system, and to say that the Mohist The world is going to be in chaos, and there is no chance for the world to be benevolent, so I ask Qi and Wei to send troops to ask the world to be benevolent."

When Fei Jun heard the word benevolence, his head hurt a little, and he said with a wry smile, "Aren't you sick, what nonsense are you talking about? The Mohists talk about benevolence and are eloquent, and these proposals of the Mohist family are also benevolent, how can I use such words?" What is the reason? I am afraid that if you use such a reason, you will be ridiculed, right?"

Zhe Yangzi shook his head and said: "The benevolence of the Mohists is not the benevolence of the upper class in the world. Benevolence comes from courtesy, and there is no courtesy, how can there be benevolence?"

Seeing that Fei Jun didn't quite understand, he explained again: "Your Majesty, if someone in the market owes money and plots against the creditor, can this person's behavior be called benevolence?"

Fei Jun shook his head and said, "This is normal."

Zhe Yangzi asked again: "If you collect taxes, but give some relief to the people when they are starving, can you call it benevolence?"

Fei Jundao: "This can be called benevolence."

Zhe Yangzi laughed and said: "So, if the morality of the Mohists prevails in the world, then the world will lose benevolence and virtue."

"Everyone is equal, and everyone is judged by their talents. So can it be said that the nobles salute the humble but talented people? No, under equality, in terms of talents, the untalented salute to the talented. This is a matter of course, like repaying a debt, can this be praised?"

"The theory of the Mohists about the family and the country is that a ruler should benefit the people. This is like owing money to the people. Paying back the money is not a benevolent government, but just a matter of course. Then how can it be called benevolence?"

"Property is the beginning of benevolence, and there is a difference between high and low, so that a benevolent government can be practiced. If there is no difference between high and low, and everyone is equal, and it is said that the law is for profit, and the king exists for the benefit of the people, and everything should be done, how can there be benevolence? Woolen cloth?"

"The people are ignorant. To be a king, you have to rob the people of their wealth and give some to the people. Only then will the people call it a benevolent government."

"The people are chaotic, and there must be distinctions between high and low, so that talents can feel that they are valued by the superiors, and only then can they be praised for their virtues."

"So, the basis of benevolence is that there are different rules for high and low. Rules are etiquette, and there is no benevolence if there is no etiquette. The Mohists don't observe etiquette, how can they be said to have benevolence?"

"In the old days when the people of Jin cast punishment tripods, Zhongni said, there is no order between the noble and the humble, so why is it a country?"

"Without high and low, how can there be benevolent government? Without high and low, how can there be virtue?"

Zhe Yangzi looked at the monarch, took a step closer and asked again: "If there is a chicken butcher in the street, he is a little talented. If one person is lowly, it is useless to offer a hundred gold gift to see him; one person is bloody and honorable. You don’t need a hundred gold, just wait for it. So, which kind of virtuous person thinks that he respects himself?”

Fei Jundao: "It's people who are blood-noble and honorable who are more respectful."

Zhe Yangzi asked: "But if everyone is equal, then how can this respect be distinguished? How can it show the virtues of nobles? The Mohists seek profit, and they must use profit to judge virtue. Then whoever gives more benefits is a good man." If you want to do things for someone, this is the collapse of morality. Therefore, the morality of the Mohists will make the world without morality, courtesy, and benevolent government."

Fei Jun slightly understood the meaning of this. According to the theory of Mohism, it should be taken for granted that what the monarch does is beneficial to the people, so can what is taken for granted be called benevolence?Just like repaying a debt, can repaying money be called benevolence?
But Fei Jun would still ask: "But the Mo family still talks about benevolence."

Zhe Yangzi had read many Mohist books, and nodded upon hearing this, "The benevolence of the Mohist family is self-love. The mainstream benevolence in the world is love. This is the difference."

"The Mohists choose sages as the son of heaven, gather the righteousness of all people to share the same meaning, and summon the representatives of all people to make laws that benefit the people. Who do the laws made by those representatives benefit?"

Fei Jundao: "Everyone seeks profit. Most of them are for their own benefit."

Zhe Yangzi said with a smile: "Then, people elect representatives to make laws and govern, and formulate laws and policies that are beneficial to themselves. Isn't this self-love? Therefore, the benevolence of the Mohists is self-love, and their system also They are practicing self-love, and once their 'benevolence' is to be practiced, there will inevitably be...the matter of selecting sages as representatives to rule the law."

"In this way, how can the monarch have the qualifications to practice the benevolent government of the mainstream of the world? The benevolence of the mainstream of the world is love. If you want to be in a superior position, you can love horses like raising horses; you can love sheep like shepherds. If everyone loves himself, How can there be benevolence in governing because of self-love? All policies are launched by everyone’s self-love. How do you shepherd sheep? How do you herd horses?"

"Therefore, if the benevolence of the Mohist school is promoted for the sake of self-love, the monarchs of the world must be terrified. This is something that the Mohist school still hides from the princes of the world. We can write it down and spread it to the world."

Fei Jun still didn't turn the corner, and said with a light smile, "Isn't this a debate with the Mohists, so what's the use of talking about it?"

Zhe Yangzi opened his eyes wide and said, "How can it be useless?"

"We must turn the affairs of the Fei Kingdom into the affairs of the world. We must turn the affairs of Sishang into a dispute over etiquette and rules."

"Fei Guo should be the first to oppose the morality of the Mohists, expose the ambitions of the Mohists, and turn the affairs of the Fei State into a major event for the princes of the world to maintain the rules."

"In this way, Qi and Wei will surely send troops, shake the world, make Sishang the powder keg of the world, and cause chaos in the world, so that your country can be protected!"

"The bigger this incident is, the better it is for you; the more people you kill, the more stable your position will be. If you slaughter the Mohists in Feiguo first and expel the Mohists, then you will be in the Tianxia League in the future." A place."

"Jump out of Sishang and stir up the world, and the country can be saved. If not, it will be a knot. If you do this, you can untie the knot."
