Chapter 487
After Zhe Yangzi climbed to the top of the city, the soldiers on the top of the city shouted, "I'm innocent!"

Zhe Yangzi said sternly: "Innocence is not meritorious service. Your parents and wives are all in the city. It is a righteous thing for the people of the country to seek profit! Don't you hear Mozi's saying that righteousness is profit? It is time to go generously. In the time of righteousness, do not stay behind others!"

"If you can make meritorious deeds, I can definitely say for you that your meritorious deeds cannot be missed. Since the establishment of the New Deal, the good will be rewarded and the evil will be punished. Those who have merit will be rewarded and those who commit crimes will be punished. This must be known."

The soldiers on the top of the city saw that the people below the city had gathered. There were a large number of people, their weapons were excellent, and they had been well trained. At this time, there were still many remnants of the formation.

Zheyangzi had already killed the monarch, and even though they wanted to be loyal to the soldiers, there was no one to be loyal to.

On this occasion, what they worry about is that the angry people think that they are lackeys of the monarch, and they will be suppressed and liquidated in the future.

Zhe Yangzi went to the city as a hostage, and they seemed to have found a spokesperson or a backbone.After all, Zhe Yangzi used to be Fei Jun's close servant, and had many contacts with the soldiers in the palace.

Zhe Yangzi looked around and said loudly: "The people who followed me to the city are all well-known warriors in the city. I heard a lot of them when I was in the palace. Some of them were also selected by the city as a representative of public opinion."

Looking at the soldiers around, Zhe Yangzi said: "You guys can make meritorious deeds, won't your deeds be known by others? Since I went to the city today as a hostage to save both sides, I can be your representative. As long as you can make meritorious deeds, not only will you not commit any crimes, but you will also be rewarded!"

Just when the crowd was at a loss, they were chaotic like headless flies. Zhe Yangzi's words immediately made him the leader of this group of flies. No difference!"

Zhe Yangzi said: "At this time, there are still people in the palace who can't understand that people are innocent of seeking profit, and the gate of the palace is still closed. Cannons have been assembled under the city, but once the shelling is fired, I'm afraid it will hurt those who are deceived .We should open the city gates and besiege those 'evil' officials."

"Whether it's evil or the micro, it's not something we can decide. If the new deal is established, we will definitely interrogate it."

"Follow me, all warriors, open the city gates, and search for nobles!"

If this is a coup, the death of the monarch means that the coup's tentative end has been set.

The soldiers all thought that it was Zheyangzi who killed the monarch, and they followed now, at most they followed evil.What's more, the monarch is dead. At this time, following Zheyangzi to fight, he changed from evil to righteousness.

Some people have heard about the New Deal, and it is in their minds.

So the soldiers at the head of the city elected Zheyangzi as their leader. After the oath, Zheyangzi held a sword and led people down the city with a gesture of generosity.

Either rush to kill, or persuade.

With Fei Jun's head in hand, the army's morale is broken, and it turns out that there is no harm in anything.

But he didn't open the city gate first, but led people to arrest those nobles in the palace.

However, there are also many hard-hearted people among the nobles, who angrily denounced Zheyangzi as a "thief who killed the king", but Zheyangzi was not ashamed but proud.

Since he is determined to get close to Xin Yi in order to get rich and honor, then the old Yi's insults to him are, in his view, the new Yi's praise.

At least for a while, he himself believed that he killed the tyrant for the sake of "benefiting the people". Not only was he not disloyal, but it was righteousness.

Now the only person who knows that he made the most cruel proposal has been killed by himself.

It's just that the deeds don't matter the heart, and his behavior now is a man of righteousness. As for what he thinks in his heart, who can know?
Now, he has become the leader of the soldiers in the palace, and he is supported.

And through his words and identity, he made himself a representative of these soldiers in the palace: after all, he was also Fei Jun's close servant. If he was punished, the soldiers would panic and cause chaos, so these soldiers became Zhe Yoko ensures that she is not harmed by Xinzheng.

There was bloodshed all the way to the palace, although there were many resistances, but since the soldiers had already waged war, killing one was killing, killing two was killing, and if there were fewer kills, they might be bitten back in the future. The palace is full of blood. Flow into a river.

Zhe Yangzi looked back at the bloodstains along the way, and thought about it.

Now the coup seems to have been successful, but in fact it has just begun. Under the feudal system, the success or failure of the capital does not mean success or failure, what matters is the reaction of the feudal nobles.

Back then, the Baigong Rebellion of the Chu State, even if the capital was controlled, Ye Gongzi Gao could still calm down relying on his fiefdom.

Even in the later generations, Qin destroyed Chu and Chu was defeated, but in the end the aristocratic forces of Chu State were still strong, and they could be regarded as the restoration of the country in the end.

And coups like Qi, Wei, and Zheng are mostly like this. The person who controls the capital may not be the final winner.

Zhe Yangzi understood.

He is full of reading history, read the Spring and Autumn Period, Zuo Zhuan, and many Mohist books on politics and historical analysis.

Because of this, he sees farther than other nobles, and also sees the matter of Fei country. Unless Wei Qi and other countries are dragged into the water and turned into a holy war between the old rules and the new rules of the Mohists, they will never win. possible.

However, Fei Jun rejected his suggestion.

He is not Fei Jun, he relies on Fei Jun, so if Fei Jun does not use his opinion, he can do nothing by himself, and he is not willing to become a martyr of the old age.

If Fei Jun used his opinion to escape early and lead soldiers from all over the world to slaughter Fei, then he, as the person who put forward his opinion, would be Zhao Shuai, Hu Yan, Jia Tuo, Xian Zhen, and Wei Ji who were beside Duke Wen of Jin.

But Fei Jun didn't use his opinion, and chose to flee at such a time, then he was the Evil Lai and Fei Lian beside King Zhou.

Zhe Yangzi is very pleased with his decision, and decisive talents can stand at the forefront of the tide of the times.

Now that the capital is under control, Zhe Yangzi is betting on whether the Mo family will come forward to support him.

He observed the behavior of the Mohists in recent years, and he was sure that the Mohists would not be that kind of stupid people who talked about morality.Back then, in the Battle of Lushui, the Battle of Futeng, and the Battle of Yuanzui, the Mohists all took the initiative to open up the Sishang situation in one fell swoop.

In Zhe Yangzi's view, the follow-up of the Battle of Futeng was the Battle of Lushui, and the follow-up of the Battle of Lushui was the Battle of Aids, which expelled the State of Yue and hindered the State of Qi. The Mohists would not allow other people to get involved in Sishang Otherwise, there would be no need to fight the battle to aid the army.

Zhe Yangzi was very clear about the level of private soldiers of nobles in Fei Kingdom.

If it is only the people of the capital city, it is enough to defend themselves.And even if only one of the righteous teachers of the Mohist family joined in, those nobles would have no chance to resist and would be suppressed in an instant.

As for Wei Qi and other congresses not taking the initiative to intervene, Zhe Yangzi also thought about the consequences.

When I was about to drill the dog hole, if I followed through, I would probably die.

If I don't kill the monarch, then even if I am not a major crime, I will lose all my wealth and achievements.

So I had to kill Fei Jun at that time, the only person who knew that he had proposed those cruel plans, in exchange for the name of "righteous man" under the new rules.

Even if Wei Qi came to attack in the future and the Mo family failed, he felt that he could still go to the south.Didn't the Mohist have already sailed to the extreme south, and have communicated with Linwu City, the southernmost city of Chu, and other cities. This is what he read from the books of the Mohist.

As for whether some people will feel that they are "little people" after the new king ascends the throne, that is not important.As long as you shout the banner of righteousness, the people will think that you are a righteous man. As long as there is no evidence, you will always be Fei Guo's "gentleman's brave man who punishes tyrants."

Therefore, he wanted to kill people harder than others, shouted the slogan of righteousness louder than others, and the most important thing was to always explain his identity: he was a servant of the monarch.

This identity will make him a weathervane in the hearts of the palace soldiers.If he doesn't fall, the soldiers will feel at ease.If he falls, the soldiers will panic.

So he can fall, but he will not fall until the situation in the city stabilizes.

As for this point, Zhe Yangzi felt that as long as he stood firm for a few months, it would not be easy to bring himself down.

So before going to bed, Zhe Yangzi thought to himself: When will the Mohists come forward?It is the most dangerous step for me to take the Mo family's step forward, otherwise, I really have to think about fleeing first.

…………

Among the strongholds of the Mohists, news from the Mohists kept coming from the city, which was generally expected.

The weapon in Wei Rang's hand was "bought" by the Mohists.

The map of the city in Wei Rang's hand was surveyed and mapped by the Mohists in advance.

The specific plans for the riots in the city were also written by the senior Mohists as staff advisors.

The only surprise was that Zhe Yangzi killed Fei Jun.

However, Xu Ruo and the others did not express any opinion on this, which is a good thing after all.

Meng Sheng, who is coordinating the overall situation here, has a calm heart, only occasionally listening to the reports of those Mohists, pacing on the ground without saying a word.

Xu Ruo thought about the "dominance" that Meng Sheng said before, but was anxious in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "When are we going to show up?"

Meng Sheng turned around, looked at Xu Ruo, and asked slowly: "Mohists want to benefit the world. Are the people willing to benefit the world? It is said that the ultimate goal of self-interest is to benefit the world and love both, but how many of the people will die? What about the heart that doesn't spin?"

Xu Ruo suddenly came to his senses, and said in surprise, "You mean that the people and us are not of the same mind for the time being?"

Meng Sheng waved his hand and said, "You're wrong. We and the people's interests are the same, but this is in the long run. In the short term...the people in Sishang are living a good life, how many of them have hearts? The heart of benefiting the world? The suffering of Qin and Jin thousands of miles away, which one do they care more about than the suffering of their neighbors? But the world is uncertain, and the world is not uniform. It looks consistent, but not in the short term. This requires us to convince and educate the public."

Meng Sheng sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the people only care about the capital city, but they don't want to shed blood for the people on the land outside the capital city. As long as there are changes around the capital city, they may be satisfied and agree, at least they will A lot of people agree."

Xu Ruo said anxiously: "If so, you should come forward quickly."

Meng Sheng shook his head and said, "I think it's time to come forward. Education and persuasion don't have to rely on our mouths alone. If you tell children not to get close to the vicious dog, they might listen. But if the vicious dog bites once, they will Will definitely remember it forever.”

When Xu Ruo heard this, he sternly said: "What are you talking about? Letting the people bleed, just to let them remember these things? This is against the righteousness of the Mohist family! If you say that, I will Call for a representative meeting to depose your qualifications to be the chief here!"

Meng Sheng looked at the excited Xu Ruo, laughed loudly and said, "Who told you that you would bleed? The righteous teacher is only a hundred miles away. As long as the people know that they are going to bleed, the volunteer teacher will arrive. How can there be bloodshed? But if the righteous teacher arrives early, how will the people know that those nobles won't let them bleed because of their compromise?"
