warring states careerist

Chapter 480

When Meng Sheng said this, he turned around and turned to the people gathered in front of the palace, and said loudly: "The attitude of the Mohists, today, as the Mohist's candidate for Wuhai, I made it clear that the Mohists support the trip that benefits the country and the world. The matter of the country is the choice of the people of Fei country, as long as it is beneficial to Fei country, the Mohists will support it!"

The last words are actually a statement: if a "rebellion" really happened, the Mohists would definitely support it.This is to take advantage of the opportunity when the people are present, to tell the people that you can do it casually, and you have a backer behind you.

The crowd gathered in front of them suddenly erupted in joy, and Ximen Tu in the crowd finally showed a smile. It seems that the Mo family finally made it clear that they would support this kind of behavior that benefits the world. courage.

The faces of the nobles of the Fei Kingdom changed drastically. They never expected that the Mo family would clearly say that they would support the people at this juncture.At this time, the public opinion is raging and angry. If there is no one to support it, maybe it can be suppressed, but how can it be suppressed now?
The reason why Meng Sheng did this was because the timing was not yet ripe. Today, he went out of the palace to announce that his suggestion of admonishing the practice of benevolent government was rejected, which only aroused the anger of the people.

But empty anger is not enough. The people also need organizations, weapons, and a further program.

The Mohists have led the way to this point, and there are still follow-up arrangements for the rest.

Before, the people still had some illusions about the monarch, imagining that the monarch could change spontaneously, so as to benefit the people.

But today's events have completely rejected this fantasy.

After this illusion is shattered, what should we do?
Many theories of Mohism are spreading, leaving many choices for the people. It is time to think about what to do after disillusionment.

Is it to make laws to restrict the rights of the monarch, so that people in the country can consult and discuss politics like the Song Dynasty?
Or just get rid of the monarch directly and choose a wise man as the monarch?
All of this is a step that people could not think of when they had fantasies about the monarch before.

But now, this foundation is already in place, but the people gathered here have not yet been really organized, and it will take time.

Perhaps the monarchs and nobles of Fei Kingdom also need time, but the people also need time. Both sides are not ready yet. The Mohists are sure that the people can win in the capital, so they choose to sideline the fight at this time.

The biggest difference between this and the past is that the people who may riot and uprising have the powerful foreign aid of the Mo family.As long as the victory can be controlled within the scope of the capital, Sishang will be able to help stabilize the situation, which is justified and will not cause shocks in the world.

Nowadays, there are not many places where the Mohists can make troubles, only the place left on Sishang.Now let the affairs of Zhao, Chu, and Qin be the direction to attract the world's attention. The Mohists don't want the affairs of Fei to be so "shocking" that the princes will be shocked, and the elimination of soldiers will also intervene with all their strength.

At this moment, in desperation, the nobles in the palace finally made a wise decision.

"The matter of reform is still discussed. Please leave the people of the country and wait a few days to determine the result! We also give the Mo family a favor!"

After all, the nobles told the soldiers to back off.

Meng Sheng came forward and advised the extremely reluctant people to retreat temporarily.

The original tense situation seemed to be resolved just like that, but greater violence and anger were gradually brewing.

Meng Sheng and the others did not leave the capital of Fei Kingdom for the time being, but waited and observed the situation in the city in the Mohist stronghold.

With this disappointment, more and more people began to consider holding their fate in their own hands, having lost the last bit of confidence in the monarch.

More and more people who had served in the Volunteer Division began to gather in restaurants and markets, and a large number of weapons were distributed through various channels.

Since Prince Luan showed his support for the people that day, he has not shown up again for the time being. There are rumors that Prince Luan hated the monarch and nobles because he was seeking benefits for the people, and he is hiding in a safe place for the time being.

Although Young Master Luan didn't show up, there was a lot of news about him, or a lot of remarks that were made on excuses.

And some "rumors" about Gongzi Luan gradually began to spread among the people.

For the time being, there has been no news from the palace.

In a small tea booth near the west gate in the city, where the Mohists would give lectures on weekdays, more and more people gathered, but they have begun to not pay attention to whether the monarch and the six ministers can accept the change.

A crowd of people with swords or muskets gathered here, of all kinds, listening to what a man was saying there.

The man standing on the high place said: "Although there are rumors that if Young Master Luan can win the throne, he will definitely change, but... I don't believe it. He said so today, I'm afraid it will change tomorrow. Even if he remains the same, if In the future when our descendants are born, who can guarantee that their ruler will not practice tyranny?"

In the past few days, the news that son Luan would change if he became king had spread throughout the capital of Fei country, and Ji Sunluan's performance before the palace that day also attracted the attention and support of many people.This rumor came from nowhere, and it became more and more popular, and Ji Sunluan didn't know where, and he didn't come forward to tell the people whether he said it or not, which made the people think that he must have said it.

Although the Mohist preached the saying that "all people, old and young, noble and humble, are all ministers of heaven", the distinction between noble and humble under hundreds of years of rules has become a custom.

The people of the country can interfere in state affairs, but so far there has never been a situation in which a commoner has come to power. Even if the monarch is driven out or killed, a successor is elected from the palace.

This kind of rule cannot be changed within a day or two, it may require a violent storm that is full of blood.

Under the wooden platform, Aoi waved her fists and shouted, "The princes and nobles are simply unreliable. Letting them make profits and enrich the people is like persuading tigers not to eat meat and gadflies not to suck blood."

"What Young Master Luan said today is good, what if it changes tomorrow? If you want me to say, just follow the rules of the Mohists, we need to formulate laws and regulations to clarify how to collect taxes and how to serve in the service, so as to restrain the future!"

"The law is the will of the people, the people are the foundation of the country, and the monarch should obey it! The princes and nobles will say nice things about coups and seizures of power, but there are so many nobles who seize power in this world, how many of them really practice the government that benefits the people?"

"In my opinion, it should be like the state of Song, where the people discuss politics and are elected as representatives, and the monarch must also obey the laws..."

After he finished speaking, some people applauded, but some people laughed.

Ximen Tu sternly said: "The princes and nobles...why do they want to be monarchs? Why do they have to have a monarch?"

"The Mohists say that everyone is the minister of the emperor of heaven. In ancient times, wise men were chosen as the son of heaven. In ancient times, the princes and nobles were just wise men. They are no different from us, only more wise."

"The purpose of selecting sages is only to benefit others. So if we want to benefit others, why do we have to have a monarch? Even in my opinion, we don't even need a monarch or ministers!"

"Once upon a time, Lao Dan once said that if you hear about it, you will rule the world, but if you don't hear about it, you will rule the world! The more order this world becomes, the more chaotic it will be!"

"The Mohist not only said that benevolence is for self-interest, but also said that in ancient times, people were for self-interest, so they were synonymous and chose wise men as the emperor..."

"So it can be seen from this that self-interest is an instinct in human nature, and apart from self-interest, one also clearly knows how to seek profit. Otherwise, how could the ancients choose virtuous people as emperors?"

"Where there are monarchs and ministers, there are high and low! In my opinion, there should be no monarch, no ministers, no laws, no orders, and everything should follow the nature of the individual."

"The Mohists say that it is for the benefit of the world, so synonymous is needed, but synonymous has laws and regulations. It just doesn't believe in human nature."

"The world is becoming more and more chaotic, and these messy laws and regulations make the people suffer. Since people can follow their nature and choose the righteousness that is most beneficial to everyone in ancient times, why can't people believe that people only need to do things according to their nature? Will it be able to rule the world?"

"If the world wants to rule, it must follow the law of nature. Without any rules or laws, so that everyone does things according to their own nature, then the world will be ruled."

"The Mohist also said, follow the will of heaven, pursue the way of heaven, and use this as a guide to benefit the world. But the way of heaven is there, in everyone's body. Obviously, it only needs to let everyone do anything freely and follow their own nature, then it is obeying the way of heaven."

"The Mohists must have organizations and laws, but they say that this is in line with the will of heaven and human nature to benefit the world. Isn't this like saying: a stalk of wheat has grown in a place with a lot of water and fertilizer, but the Mohists have Do you want to move this wheat to a sunny place with a lot of water and fertilizer?"

"Human nature is in everyone. As long as there is no restraint, the way of heaven conforms to the will of heaven. Mohism insists that laws and systems are synonymous, and it is superfluous to explore what is most beneficial to people."

　Mohism is growing, and the theories of other schools are also advancing with the times and inspiring each other.Mohism's benevolence is self-love, which was established by Mozi, so based on this human nature, the idea that a small country with few people obey human nature and be free can also be deduced from this basis.This may be the chaos that must be experienced. If you want a hundred schools of thought to contend, you must bear the consequences of a hundred schools of thought.
