Chapter 591 Unshakable Power ([-])
Uncle Gong smiled and said: "I object with my mouth, but I support it in my heart."

Wei Jian also smiled, and said: "It's exactly what I want. The Mohists act, and once the order of punishing injustice is issued, Tian Wu will die, and no one can persuade him."

"I will definitely send envoys to oppose this matter. But my objection will not affect the outcome of this matter. Mrs. Tian will be grateful for my kindness, and will vent her anger on the Mohist family, and become resentful against the Mohist family."

"Since you have a grudge against the Mohists, you will have to ask for help from the widow. Within ten years, the widow will face the south."

Uncle Gong said again: "Besides, if one day in the future, the Mohist family becomes stronger and the feudal lords are increasingly resentful, your lord can take advantage of this matter to make an alliance with the feudal lords to fight against the Mohist family. How can the sons of the lords die at the hands of the common people?"

"Dayi is in hand, but it may not be used at this time. Use it when it is strong, and forget it when it is weak. This is the way to become a hegemon."

In this way, Wei Jian was finally satisfied. Agreeing to negotiate peace does not mean admitting defeat. It seems that everyone is getting what they want, but Wei Guo still failed in the end.Because Wei State's goal was to get involved in Sishang and divide Feidi, but this strategy was not achieved.

Just saying it is different, Wei Jian can say that out of "benevolence", he can't bear to see the soldiers fighting and the Wei people are miserable, so he negotiated peace.

And this time, the peace talks will allow the Wei State to take a breather, temporarily shrink its strategy to win the victory on the front line of the Chu State, and retain Wei State's "righteousness" to discuss the Mohists together for the leader in the future-Wei State will not recognize Tian Wu's being killed. Regarding the matter of execution, he will never send troops to attack the Mohists for this matter now, but just leave an excuse for the future.

The incidents of Zhao, Zhongshan, Chu, and Xihe followed one after another, and Wei Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least this matter can be carried out safely.

After the matter was decided, Wei Jian said with emotion: "I thought that the Mo family would be in chaos when Qin Huali was about to die of serious illness. But I didn't expect that the Mo family would not be in chaos. This is really incomprehensible."

"Talking about the great powers in the world, have you ever heard of a king who died of illness but the son did not fight?"

Uncle Cuo also had to shake his head with emotion.

In the Jin Dynasty, there were the Quwo Rebellion and the Liji Rebellion.

In Qi, there was a dispute between the five princes and a rebellion between Duke Xiang.

In the Song Dynasty, there were three surnames sharing the government and fighting among brothers.

Qin Youchen forced the emperor to commit suicide, and the rebellion of the concubine abolished the emperor...

In particular, the Mohism's internal organization seems to be open, but in fact it makes it difficult for these monarchs under the feudal system to understand why they support troops and do not seize power.

The incident of Qin Huali's serious illness was undoubtedly another blow to those who criticized the radical theories of the Mohists, such as "everyone is equal and the emperor is selected as the emperor".

They originally criticized that human nature is evil, and everyone seeks profit, which will inevitably lead to chaos in the world.You also want to be the emperor, and I also want to be the emperor. You want to have the world, and I also want to have the world. How can there be no chaos?

Originally, the Mohists could only use logical explanations to ridicule them: the emperor in their eyes is not the emperor of the world, but a villain who regards everything in the world as his own private property, so he wants to own the world.The so-called Son of Heaven in the Mohists wants to treat all things in the world as public objects, and the purpose of occupying his position is only to benefit the world. The world is not the private property of the Son of Heaven...

But in the end, it is difficult for the public to understand the logic. Those who criticize the Mohist family, use some private matters of family affairs, to understand the world as private property under the feudal system, but the public also thinks that it is indeed the case, so everyone wants to Isn't the world in chaos when the emperor is in heaven?

I don't want Qin Huali to be seriously ill this time. It should have been a time of crisis for the Mohist school, but I used it instead. I took this opportunity to announce to the world: the righteousness of the Mohist school is in line with the will of heaven. Power issues lead to chaos in the world.

Why there is no chaos, Wei Jian can't understand, and neither can Gong Shucuo.

Many Mohists can understand.

But outside the Mohist school, there are still people who can understand and realize the unshakable power contained in the seemingly tedious and boring rules of the Mohist school, which is far ahead of the times.

Among these understandable people, they may not believe in the meaning of Mohism, but they must have read the books of Mohism, and some of them are even traitors of Mohism themselves.

Just like Liyang, the new capital of Qin a few months later, in a conversation where only Qin Jun won the gap, rebelled against Mo Shengchuo, and Wu Qi guarded the Xihe in the former Wei Dynasty, they are the ones who can recognize the power in it, and they are ready to borrow this kind of conversation. Power thus strengthens the monarchy and enhances national power.

They didn't accuse the Mohists of being rude and unruly, but felt that accusations were useless, and the more they accused, the more they would make the truth clearer. If they didn't say anything, they should absorb the essence of power and discard those that would endanger the monarchy. Dross.

Wu Qi has already entered Qin Dynasty, and has been appointed to Chengzhongquan and Luoyin. His road to Qin Dynasty was not smooth.

It's just that when Ying Shichao was in exile in Wei State, he paid more attention to Wu Qi. Wu Qi stayed in Xihe, and the Qin people couldn't cross Luoshui even after a series of defeats. He saw Wu Qi's general and ministerial talents.

Sheng Chuo also analyzed to Qin Jun how to use people like Wu Qi and how to guard against them, but when it comes to the fundamentals, Sheng Chuo also made it clear: "If you want to cure the symptoms, you can only break the feudal system, control the prefectures and counties directly under the central government, Generals are not allowed to have fiefs, only to cut off their economic base for rebellion."

This is a long process, and it is also the reason why Qin Jun invited Wu Qi to join Qin this time. After all, he was invited to join Qin to strengthen the centralized monarchy and destroy the feudal system, so that in the end, he can dare to use talents and be able to use them. In the end, the ambition of people like Wu Qi can be stopped.

Sheng Chuo described Qin Jun in this way: Now the doctors have fiefs, the people and soldiers in the fiefs, and the money and food, but he hopes that they will not seek power.It's like giving someone a sword and hoping they don't kill people with it.

The most fundamental way is to take back the sword from the person who owns it, then there will be fewer people killing people with swords in the world.

Qin Jun laughed and said: "Someone is holding a sword. If you want to take the sword, you will have to bleed."

Sheng Chuo also made it clear: all changes are bloody, and Qin will not be strong without bloodshed.Now the emperor has directly governed the land of three counties, there are fifty thousand men who dare to fight, there are thousands of common people who can be officials with officials as teachers, there are Wei Guo who can't take into account the external situation in the west of Luoshui, and Wu Qi In this way, the general who knows the invincibility of his soldiers, if he does not bleed at this time, when will he wait?
Sheng Chuo also said that in the original feudal system, even if the nobles made mistakes and punished them, it was just a change of nobles, and the essence did not change.Moreover, they are required to govern the enfeoffed land on their behalf, so as to maintain the vast land.But now, when the land is granted to the people, the people are grateful to the emperor; the officials are educated, and their power comes from the superior; the land of thousands of miles cannot be directly controlled.Those nobles are already useless, it is better to replace the nobles with officials, and replace the feudal system with the direct administration of counties, counties and townships.

Only in this way, the power is concentrated in the hands of the emperor, and Qin can be strengthened day by day.

Qin Jun praised and praised him for his kindness.

This time, Wu Qi was invited to join the Qin Dynasty, under the premise of winning the division to secure the position, moving the capital to avoid the old nobles, several counties directly under the central government, rebelling against ink to teach characters to select officials, granting land to the people, and gaining prestige after repeated victories against Xirong. , It's time for a showdown with the nobles.

The state of Wei is now surrounded by wars, and the nobles want to find foreign aid, but they are afraid that the state of Wei will be powerless.

The south made peace with the Mohists, with the Qinling Mountains as the boundary, not to attack Nanzheng, and repeatedly bought ironware from Nanzheng to replenish its strength.

Yiqu, Wuzhi, etc. in the west were repeatedly defeated by the new army of Qin State who started to equip stirrup cavalry and gunpowder, and practiced military meritorious military expansion for profit. The appearance of iron and gunpowder made the essence of war a struggle for productivity. And population, Xirong can hardly resist Qin's new army.

With a stable external environment, we can calmly start from the inside.

In fact, the gap to win the master is very urgent, and the victory is also very urgent, because the external stable environment does not know how long it can last, so this time inviting Wu Qi to enter the Qin Dynasty to have a showdown with the nobles to carry out a drastic change is inevitable, and it will be drastic Much crueler.

The faster and more brutal civil strife may be a good thing for the country, because protracted war will weaken a country's strength, while brutal civil strife will promote reform and unification.

The contradictions triggered by this clarion call for change officially broke out on Wu Qi's first day in Qin.

The nobles of Qin State opposed Wu Qi's entry into Qin Dynasty one after another, and opposed Wu Qi's appointment as a general. The reasons were nothing more than three or four points.

First, Wu Qi is greedy and lustful, without loyalty.Aside from such moral taints as murdering his wife and begging his general, a person who is a guard but seeks refuge in the State of Lu, then jumped from State Lu to State Wei, and now to State Qin, such a person cannot be trusted.

Second, not only Wu Qi, but also Sheng Chuo and others cannot be trusted.They are not Zhao Ying, they are not of my race, their minds must be different, they cannot be used, and problems will inevitably occur if they are used.Although there were incidents of forcing the monarch to death before, but no matter what, the meat was rotten in the pot, and it was still the Qin State of the Ying family. Qin country repeats itself.

Third, it was Wu Qi who guarded Xihe and prevented Qin from advancing eastward.This kind of hatred cannot be dispelled, and such a person cannot be used anyway.

Fourth, Wu Qi, Sheng Chuo and others are all from humble backgrounds. If they are appointed, it will lead to chaos in Qin.If there is no distinction between high and low, it will be a broken rule.If you use sluts instead of nobles, then the country will perish.

If this is the case, Sheng Chuo asked Rebel Mo, who came with him and was good at debating, to write a book to refute.

Book words:

Ximu Gong asked for scholars, Yu Yurong from the west, Xi Yuwan from the east, Xi Yuwan from the east, Wang Shu from the Song Dynasty, and Pibao and Gongsun from the Jin Dynasty.These five sons were not born in Qin, but Mu Gong used them, merged with the country in twenty, and then dominated Xirong.

Wu Qi used soldiers, eating people and cooking bones, and the soldiers had no heart to return to the north.76 battles with the princes, 64 total victories, Yu Zejun Jie, invincible in battle, invincible in attack, this unparalleled sage is also.

Qin wanted to be powerful, so he had to use it.

Today Qindong has lost the West River, and the people of Wei are powerful. Luoshui is a ditch and Zhushan is a wall. The water is not deep and the mountains are not dangerous. If there are no wise men, the country will be in danger.

In the past, when Qi Huan was fighting for the throne, Guan Zhong drew his bow and shot, this is revenge for killing.However, Qi Huan ignored the previous suspicions and worshiped Guan Zhong as his prime minister. Therefore, Qi had the prosperity of Kuiqiu, conquered Rongdi in the north, and conquered Manchu in the south, making the country rich and the people strong. Of.

The theory of high and low is even more ridiculous.

For example, if medicine is natural, the root of a herb, the emperor eats it to relieve his disease, why should he say "the root of a herb" and not eat it?Today, the farmers pay their taxes to the feudal lord, and the feudal lord serves wine, sweets and rice cakes as a sacrifice to gods and ghosts. How can it be said that "what a bitch does" and not enjoy it?Therefore, even if you are a bitch, the agriculture at the top, and the medicine at the bottom, are they not like the root of a herb?

In the past, General Tang went to see Yi Yin, and ordered Peng's son Yu, and Peng's son asked halfway, "What is your general?"Tangkou: "I will go to see Yi Yin."The son of the Peng family said: "Yi Yin is a slut in the world. If you want to see him, you can call him and ask him, and he will be rewarded."Tang said: "It's not known to women. There is medicine here today. If you eat it, your ears will be brighter and your eyes will be brighter. Then I will say it and eat it by force. Today's husband Yi Yin is also in our country. It is like a good doctor and a good doctor." Medicine also".After Lai Yi Yin Zhixian, Tang Guo faces the world in the south.

That's why the "Tang Oath" said: "Yu seeks the sage Yuan, and work together with him to rule the world." Then the sage of this statement is still based on the promotion of the virtuous and the able.If the holy king is like this, will it not work later?
And Shun plowed in Mount Li, pottery in the river, fished in Lei Ze, and ashes in Changyang.Yao got it, subdued Ze Zhiyang, and established himself as the Son of Heaven.To take over the government of the world and rule the people of the world.Fu Shuo lived on the island of Beihai, on the earth, and wore brown clothes with strings, and built it in the city of Fu Yan.When Wu Ding got it, he raised him and established him as the Sangong, so that he could take over the government of the world and rule the people of the world.

Yao's promotion of Shun, Tang's promotion of Yi Yin, and Wu Ding's promotion of Fu Shuo, do you think that they are blood relatives?But these three sons are sages in the world, so they follow their words, use their strategies, and practice their ways.

What do you do by following your words, using your schemes, and following your own way?Said: The country is rich, the people are strong, the army is prosperous, and the country is long-lasting.

Therefore, if a ruler wants to have a rich country, a strong people, a prosperous army, and a long-lasting society, he should not talk about high or low, but should talk about virtuous and mediocre.

Those who rebel against the sages and enter the Qin Dynasty are not those who want the country to be poor, the people weak, the soldiers few, and the society to be overthrown?
And I heard: Under the overturned nest, are there any eggs again?

The nobility, wealth, and salary of Ying's clan all came from Qin.Qin Qiang, the clan will benefit from the noble, rich and lucrative.If the Qin Dynasty is weak, the clan relatives will become poorer, humbler, and perish.When Qin died, the clan relatives were all ordinary people.

The strength of Qin's survival is also the survival of the clan's relatives, which must be observed.
