Chapter 577
Chapter 577
Meng Sheng sacrificed discipline and rules, Gong Zaoye felt helpless, and said sadly: "In this case, it doesn't matter who you or I go. I traveled with Zimozi back then. I have been to the State of Lu, and I have met Lu Hou several times. But if I go, some things can be said more conveniently."
At that time, Mozi not only visited the state of Lu, but also expressed his opinion on the matter of the prince of Luhou.Although Lu Hou respected Confucius' grandson Zisi at that time, Zisi did not have the military power to defend Lu State.
Later, son Fen was able to be established as the prince, and it was more or less because of Mozi's words.
When Gongzaoye followed Mozi to Lu, the Marquis of Lu asked, "I have two sons. One likes to study, and the other likes to distribute property to others. Who can be the prince?"
Mozi replied, "I don't know yet. Erzi may have done this for reward and fame. The fisherman bowed his body, not showing respect to the fish; using insects as bait for catching mice, did not mean liking mice. I hope that the lord will combine their motives and effects to observe."
In other words, Mozi thinks that these two people may deliberately show their love of learning and love to distribute property to others in order to become the prince, so they still need to continue to investigate.
It is just that it takes three days to burn the jade, and it takes three years to distinguish the material. Some things can't just look at the surface, but combine interests and analyze the interests behind them to see the essence clearly.
Later, the son often broke things, and the son Fen was able to be established as the prince.
This time the war between the Mohists and the Qi State put the State of Lu in an awkward situation, and the State of Lu also played a trick.
Marquis Lu agreed to borrow the way from Qi State, but Young Master Fen came forward and said that he had persuaded his father that Lu State had joined the Non-Attack Alliance, and this matter could not be agreed...
One chorus and one chorus, one red face and one white face, it's hard to challenge Lu Guo's etiquette.
Gong Zaoye understands the priorities, this time he led troops to Qufu, he did not intend to do something to attack the Qi army, he knew that he could not win with a small number of troops, but it might damage the spirit of the Mohist family, he just wanted to go directly to meet Luhou Explain something.
One is that he has a higher status in the Mohist school.
Second, he and Luhou were not just a one-sided relationship. When Xiangziniu invaded Lu, it was Mozi who brought them and his disciples to mediate. Both sides sold Mozi's face, so Xiangziniu retreated and won Returning deprived of the position of retainer.
Meng Sheng worried that once Gongzaoye led his troops to Qufu, he would do unnecessary things because of his anger.It is also convenient for Wucheng's disaster relief and other things to make overall arrangements here.
Hearing Gong Zaoye talk about the past, he said, "I also know about Lu Wen. Just don't forget about the plowing incident. Although I was in Chu, I also had some contact with the son of Lu. I will come forward on this matter." That’s fine, but you don’t have to go there yourself.”
Gong Zaoye suddenly said: "You mean the incident that the distant water failed to put out the nearby fire?"
Meng Sheng said, "Of course."
The State of Lu suffered a lot because it was caught between Yue, Chu, Jin, Yan, and Qi.Since Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong reformed, Qi became a big country and invaded Lu repeatedly, so the Marquis of Lu made a decision that year.
Let the sons of the country go to Jin and Chu to serve as officials.
To become an official at this time, most of them are doctors and have their own fiefs. Once the state of Lu is in trouble, one can persuade the two great powers of Jin and Chu to rescue them, and the other can mobilize soldiers from their respective fiefs to rescue the beloved Lu state. .
At that time, the doctor of the State of Lu, Li Jia, said: "Everyone in the world knows that people in Yue Yue are good at swimming. One day your son fell into the water, and you went to Yue State to find someone who was good at swimming to rescue him. I'm afraid your son will drown."
"Everyone in the world knows that the sea has the most water, which is endless. One day your house caught fire, but you insisted on using sea water to put out the fire. This is because far water cannot put out a nearby fire."
"Now Qi State is next to Lu State. Although Jin and Chu are powerful, if Qi State enters Qin Lu State, they may not be able to rescue them in time."
It was precisely because of Li Biao's words that the Marquis of Lu invited Mozi to enter Lu, and later solved the matter of Xiang Ziniu's invasion of Lu, and the sons of Lu also returned one after another.
Meng Sheng was in the state of Chu back then, and he had a good relationship with Lord Yangcheng, and the son of Lord Yangcheng, he was a teacher and friend, so he was also a figure in the aristocratic circle inside the state of Chu.
He was not the same as Gong Zaoye. Gong Zaoye was considered a street knight back then, while Meng Sheng was from an orthodox aristocratic background. Some of the people he came into contact with have now returned to the Lu Kingdom to become officials. This is a relationship that can be used.
This is all in the past. Meng Sheng mentioned this, but he didn't want Gongzao to find enough reasons to lead troops to Qufu.
Gong Zaoye had no choice but to agree.
Meng Sheng and Gongzao Ye jointly wrote a letter to Pengcheng, stating the manpower and supplies needed here, and Gongzao Ye Zi made overall arrangements in Wucheng.
…………
Ludu Qufu.
Inside the palace, the officials stood sideways.
The news of the Nanjishui battle has already spread, and the news of the slaughter of Wucheng has also spread here. The army of the Qi State is just outside Qufu. This situation is already quite ugly.
Lu State, as the only prince who can use the emperor's ceremony in some sacrifices, has had a really difficult life in the past few years.
Decades ago, Yue State rose, and Lu State lost Sishang.
After that, Jisun's family overran and claimed the country, dominating the south of Wucheng.
Afterwards, the Qi State was strong and Qi and Yue fought against each other. After all, the Lu State was a native of the Central Plains and was closer to Qi State, so it formed an alliance with Qi State, which led to the signing of the Yue King Yiyao in Qufu with Qi and Lu 20 years ago. According to the contract, Marquis Lu drove the chariot for King Yi of Yue, and Marquis Qi served as guard for King Yi of Yue, and they were greatly insulted.
Different from the state of Jin, which is the "filial son of the royal family of Zhou", the state of Jin has the real and correct surname of Ji, the feudal state of Tang Shuyu, and an important reliance on the power of the emperor of Zhou, but it has been colluding with the state of Yue, which does not belong to the Central Plains system and even claims the king Take it, it is common for the country of Yue to attack the country of Qi in the Central Plains system.
As the fief after Duke Zhou and the place of activities of Zhongni, the State of Lu still maintained a bit of integrity, and the relationship with the State of Yue was always at odds.
Both are relatives with the surname Ji, and the two countries of Jin and Lu are not the same.
20 years ago, the Mohists rose up in Sishang. In the following years, the Qi State attacked and the Mohists sent troops to resist, making the situation of the originally crumbling Lu State much better than in history.
The revolution in Fei State caused panic in Lu State.
But when the Mohists announced in a high-profile manner that Fei Guo's affairs should be taken care of by the Mohists, the Lu State had to hide its inner panic: anyone can be the leader of the world to condemn Mo's restoration of feudalism, but the Lu State cannot be the leader.Sishang is too close to the State of Lu, it is really close at hand.
In the battle of Nanjishui, Qi's [-] army was wiped out, and the Mohists lost only [-]. They broke through [-] cities in Qi, went down to Pingyin, and demolished the Great Wall. Qi's Linzi army had to stay in Wucheng for only a few days. Withdrawing, this made the people of Lu State full of panic about the possible future revenge of the Mo family.
Especially after Wucheng was massacred, the State of Lu, as a member of the Non-Offensive Alliance, understood the bottom line of the Mohists in some matters.Back then when the Qi State attacked Lu, the Mohists fulfilled their obligations without saying a word, and did not ask for any gifts except for the food and grass that the Lu State needed to bear.
As for people like Sheng Chuo back then, the Mohists came forward and believed that Sheng Chuo had violated the righteousness of the Mohist School, and told the princes of the world not to allow Sheng Chuo to be born as a Mohist, and they did what they said.
Lu Hou can't help but regret now that he agreed to Qi's idea of borrowing the road last year, but he can only sigh in his heart: weak countries have no diplomacy.
If they didn't agree at the beginning, who knew that the Mo family could win so easily, if they couldn't win, they would hate the Qi State, then Qi State, the land that was the least acquired in the past, would probably take this opportunity to go along with it.
In Lu Hou's heart, he hoped to maintain a balance between the two great powers.
Now the Mohists have driven away the power of Yue State in Sishang, Huaibei, and the friction with Qi State is increasing day by day; situation, wanting to settle down next to the neighbors of big countries.
According to what Lu Hou saw and what he knew about the Mohists, the previous policies were actually correct.
Including asking Young Master Fen to explain to the Mohists this time, and accepting Qi's conditions for borrowing the way in the name of stupidity, etc., are all correct.
He had a lot of contacts with the Mohists. He had been in contact with the Mohists when Mo Di was alive, so he understood the style of the Mohists.
I made this move very well, no matter whether Qi Sheng or the Mohists win, the State of Lu can still maintain its independence, at most, it is necessary to calmly guard against the Mohist's overly radical theory of no king and no father.
However, after the news of Wucheng's massacre came, Lu Hou knew that the matter was so serious that he could no longer stand on the sidelines.
Mohism has many rules, such as non-fighting, non-attacking, great righteousness, small righteousness...
When the Mohists stayed in Qufu back then, non-attack was also the Mohism’s rules, but some Mohists still had a chivalrous spirit, and they would fight against violence and peace at every turn. At most, Mozi would advise a few words: Be reasonable, and do it if the reasoning doesn’t make sense.
However, when Sheng Chuo invaded Lu, Mo Zi directly brought Sheng Chuo back and expelled Sheng Chuo directly.
Marquis Lu understands the difference between the big righteousness and the small righteousness of the Mohists, and the difference in the way of handling them is also very different.
The massacre of the city is actually normal. Nowadays, the princes of the world, from Bashu to Yanqi, who hasn't done the massacre of the city and the relocation of the people?
But the mistake is that in the Mohist rules, in the Mohist righteousness, in the Mohist definition of normal and abnormal in the world, it is abnormal to massacre the city.
Qi State and Han Wei Zhao Chu are at war, and if the city is slaughtered, it is no big deal.
But to fight with the Mohists but slaughter the city, then this is a big deal, and the Mohism cannot tolerate it!
Marquis Lu understood that he had to make a choice: slaughtering the city during the Mohist battle was equivalent to shooting and wounding the Emperor Zhou 400 years ago when the rituals and music were still in existence.
