warring states careerist

Chapter 91
Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

The truth is this, the young master doesn't even suspect these three rebels, but he suspects that the Wei people are cheating on him. He is worried that these people are the Wei people who are trying to test him, but he is also worried that he will lose his talent because of his doubts.

It is both a charcoal test and a test, and it is impossible to get straight to the topic.

After inviting the three of them into the secret room, Gongzilian did not allow the dead soldiers to follow.

Young Master Lian felt that if his uncle wanted to assassinate him, he would definitely not send such a person.

It's not that these people don't have the means to kill themselves, but that these people have clear minds, well-spoken words, sharp words, and a grasp of the general trend of the world that is far superior to ordinary people.

Although the uncle took the seat that belonged to him, it is still the blood of the family after all.

Young Master Lian also heard that his uncle was reforming. He first implemented the tax system of first-time hectares on both sides of the Weihe River and allowed officials to wear swords. This was obviously an attempt to compete with those old nobles for power.

These three rebels are considered talents, and they are the ones who can be used. Young Master Lian felt that they were overqualified for assassinating him, so he decided to take a big gamble.

If these three people were not sent by the Wei people to test them, they might be really useful in the future.

If these three people were sent by the Wei people to test, then he might be able to subdue the three of them.

In the secret room, the eloquent Mohist didn't wait for the young master to test him, and said directly: "Young master, do you want to go back to Qin?"

There is no need to deny the return to Qin, even if Weiss really sent these people to test it out, Young Master Lian also understands that Weiss will not object to returning to Qin.

What the Wei people objected to was that they would continue to fight the Three Jins after returning to Qin, not a pro-Jin and pro-Wei state of Qin.

Rebel Mo saw that the young master had even admitted, and said: "Young master, if you want to return to Qin, there are two strategies. I can't know the ambition of the young master, so I can't choose to talk to the young master about the best strategy or the worst strategy."

When the young master heard the words, his heart moved, and he asked: "If you don't talk about ambitions, what's the best way?"

"The worst policy? Get married to Wei Si, and in the future lieutenants, ask to marry Wei's daughter. Bribe Wu Qi to attack Qin fiercely, and let Wei Si say that it is not the son who joined Qin, otherwise the attack will continue. When there are changes in Qin, the son can return the loan. The power of the people of Wei returns to Qin as the king, but Qin and Wei are like Chen Cai and Chu. Vassals!"

Young Master Lian had already heard the meaning of ambition, and tentatively asked, "What's the best strategy?"

"The best policy? Ying Miaozi is the uncle of the son, and he must be old. He endured Ying Mourning's death and searched for warriors to assassinate the successor. The people of Qin will be chaotic. The son must not use the power of the Wei people at that time, but bicycle Return to the country, wait for the master and young ministers to be suspicious, contact the old people, and seize the throne in one fell swoop. Without the help of the people of Jin, the son will only be the Lord of Qin."

Although Young Master Lian is only twenty, he is also from an orthodox aristocratic background, and he has been educated in the palace style of conspiracies and tricks since he was a child, so he doesn't understand the difference between the two.

He was not sure whether the other party was sent by the Wei people to test him. He wondered if there were changes in the country and his uncle was seriously ill, so the Wei people came to test him and planned to let him go back to the country?
But now he couldn't say that he would wait until he got definite information before answering.

At this time, the taxis are full of pride and spikes. If you are a little negligent, you will think that you are a monarch who cannot serve. If you are silent, you will appear to be an indecisive person...

After thinking for a while, Young Master Lian made a decision, and solemnly saluted the three rebels: "I have ambitions. Qin also has ambitions. If I return to China, Qin will have ambitions!"

Originally, he was hesitant and worried that the Wei people would be unfavorable to him, but then he thought, if the purpose of getting married with the Wei people is just to return to the country and win the throne, then he will not be comfortable doing it.

The people of Wei took Xihe away, and the people of Qin resented it.

If he returns to the country with the help of the people of Wei, then if he wants to sit still, is there any other way besides relying on the country of Wei to restrain the nobles in the country?If you really want to do this, once the Wei people win in the Central Plains, wouldn't Qin be in danger?What's the point of what Qin Jun did?If you really can't be arbitrary, you might as well not go back.

In this way, it is nothing more than that Wei people are wary of themselves and will not support themselves to return to the country.But he will not object to his return to the country. At most, he will use the Wei people's non-support in exchange for the loyalty and appreciation of these rebels.

Rebel Mo listened to the young master expressing his feelings directly, and praised: "Young master's ambition, we can already know, then we can let the young master listen to the next words."

"If Ying mourns the son's death, his son will ascend the throne, and the son will not be able to return to Qin at that time. But I know a warrior is here, and his swordsmanship is as good as that of Mo Zhegong. He is good at small righteousness and commitment, The young master can give me a thousand pieces of gold, and I will find a way to make it work."

Gong Zilian didn't know who the warrior who rebelled against Mo was, so he asked, "How is his sword skill compared to the warrior just now?"

Rebel Mo smiled and said: "I have met him twice with others. Compared with the warrior just now, it is like the light of a bright moon shining brighter than a firefly. In the past, he was dedicated to assassins, but he still needs to get close. If this person Assassination, ten steps and one kill, to kill a soldier, there is no need for fish sticks! I have heard the saying among Mohists that the people of Qin now also offer sacrifices to Hebo, and when they are waiting for the sacrifice, it is time to assassinate."

This is the second time Young Master Lian has heard Shi's name today. He had also heard it in Weidu before because of the wheat flour and bean food incident, but it is different from today's situation.

In his heart, he sighed at the warrior who rebelled Mo said that he could assassinate without using fish sticks. He was fascinated and praised a few words, and then asked: "The Mohist you mentioned is well-known, how do you know this?"

"Shi once studied as a hermit, and Zi Mozi also admired himself. The two hermits knew the general trend of the world. We had heard a lot about it before we rebelled against Mo. To tell you the truth, I have recounted the hermit's words about the strength and weakness of various countries. Some things It was only after we heard this that we were able to wake up, and only then did we want to send charcoal in the snow to see the young master."

It may be that Rebel Mo guessed that Young Master Lian would ask where the hermit was again, and said: "The hermit has passed away. There are two disciples left behind, one suitable and the other republican. If you are suitable for ink, the republic is ten thousand times better than the republic, but you have seen through the world. Inevitably, so I floated in the sea on the bridge and did not become an official. This is also a sword that sings dragons on the sun, although it is tempting, it is not available."

This is the second time today that Young Master Lian is leisurely fascinated by these people who sound like geniuses but are hidden from the world. Since they are not available, he breaks his mind and asks: "Since that is the case, how about after the assassination?"

Rebelling Mo recalled the general trend of the world and the method of reasoning and deduction called "contradiction" that he had talked about with Mohists before he betrayed the Mohists, and said confidently: "If the new Qin Lord is assassinated, the Lord Shaochen Doubtful. The new king and the old nobles must give more rewards to the nobles in order to win their hearts. However, Ying Miaozi has already rented hectares and mu taxes in Qinhang, and there are many private acres. Rewarding nobles requires money to tax land, and those who have more private acres must be dissatisfied."

"Shi once said that those who are rewarded with a lot of land are the old nobles, and those who have many private acres and learn from private scholars are the new nobles."

"The old rich are satisfied, and the new rich are dissatisfied. Don't you know who you should rely on? Don't you want to repeat the history of your grandfather who was forced to commit suicide?"

These words stabbed Young Master Lian's mind, he asked repeatedly: "If you get the position, what should you do?"

"My lord, did you hear that Mohist went to Peidi to do righteous deeds?"

"I don't know, I just heard about it today."

"Then this is where we can learn. Yongcheng is rich in old and expensive, and it is close to the west. If the son wins the throne, he can move his capital near the Weishui River to be close to the Xihe River, so that the people can be relocated and enriched. You can learn from the method of doing righteousness in the land that is not too expensive."

"After moving the capital, what should we do?"

Confrontation said: "Mohist advocates the virtuous, and common peasants, businessmen and commerce have talents. The son uses us who rebel against Mohism and the world's wanderers. We are not old nobles and have no foundation. We can only rely on the son. After the son moved the capital, he took control of several lands. Respecting the worthy and selecting talents, promoting the taxation of first-time rented crops and private acres, and lowering the tax on the land in the hands of the son to attract Jin people to flee. Reusing us is the best choice for the son. We have a shallow foundation and are not old, but we have talents. Zi Mozi once said that if the peasants, businessmen, and businessmen have talents, they will be promoted, and the country will be governed. If the son is in Yongcheng, he would not dare to honor the virtuous; but if the capital is moved to Weishui to be close to the Xihe River, there are not many nobles in the old days, so he can honor the virtuous."

"Moving the capital is a big deal. What if the old nobles are not allowed to move the capital?"

Confrontation said: "After the son returned to Qin, he could use the words of revenge for the powerful country to spread Yongcheng. Anyone who disagreed with the move of the capital said that his heart was for the three Jins and aroused the hearts of the people for revenge. Especially Qin people died in battle in Xihe. His father and brother With hatred in my heart, if the young master said this, those old nobles would not be able to directly object. If I use other reasons at that time, the Mohists are eloquent, can't my three-inch tongue not speak against them?"

"Besides, moving east to approach Wei, the West River is in the hands of Wei people, isn't it dangerous?"

Conversation: "The Mohists are good at guarding the city. Rebelling against Mohism is just because of injustice, but it is not because of injustice. Those methods for doing justice to the world will not be done. At that time, spread rumors about Wu Qi and wait for Wu Qi to lose his position. What's more, once it is implemented With the New Deal and enough officials, wouldn’t it be possible that even if the Wei people were strong, they would not be able to fight? Could it be that the Wei people could use soldiers, but the Qin people could not?”

"The old ones are expensive, how can we ensure that the new policies can be implemented?"

Confrontation said: "Mohists must observe discipline, and those who guard the city of Mohism must respect the orders of the giants. The giants gather people with righteousness, but don't the princes gather people with benefits? Open rice fields, destroy well fields, lighten taxes, grow wheat, reform Military system. Set up an army in the new capital, with those who cultivate private fields as soldiers, imitating military pawns, and the prince will personally control. Anyone who opposes the new policy will be killed. If you don’t break it, you can’t build it. If you don’t kill the old nobles, the new government will be difficult to carry out. Nothing to talk about."

"If those who oppose the New Deal are killed, how will it be managed?"

Confrontation said: "The Mohists demand the same justice between the upper and lower levels, and this righteousness is based on the will of heaven. The young master also hopes that the upper and lower levels have the same meaning, but this righteousness is based on the ambition of the young master. To open an official school, only accept self-cultivating children, let us Rebel Mo taught the law of officials and promoted them as close servants. Whether they are appointed or not is only up to the prince, and those who cannot agree with the prince will not be used. Ten years later, Weishui will have a thousand new officials and tens of thousands of private land. If you want to control the people, won’t you still be able to control the entire Qin State? At that time, the officials and the son will be of one mind, and the people will be governed by the officials, and the people will be of one mind with the son.”

"It's too difficult to be up and down, how to guarantee it?"

Confrontation said: "The Mohists guarding the city must form a corps of people, and practice the law of sitting together. The Mohist guarding the city, the punishment order is strict, and there are detailed rules for what can and cannot be carried. The Mohist guarding the city must be rewarded and punished." , There are details about rewards and punishments. Mohists guarding the city must have a full-time person who tells the law, and strives to let the people know, first make orders and then punish them."

Rebel Mo said again: "If you can turn Qin into a city guarded by Mohists, then can't you reproduce Duke Mu's hegemony?"

Young Master Lian heard the rebellious Mo talk about so many Mohists, so he asked: "This is all the Mohist's method, why are you rebelling against Moh?"

"For salary, high-ranking officials, ambitions, bells and whistles. Those who don't use Mohist righteousness, but those who imitate Mohist are united in one mind, and this righteousness is determined by the emperor; those who don't use Mohist are not offensive, but those who imitate Mohist defend the city and organize the people. Using the method of the Mohist to defend the city, there is naturally a way to break the city; you don't need to do justice, but use the means of doing justice in unjust battles; you don't ask the people to understand the will of heaven, but you want the people to know the thoughts and decrees of the king... …Ultimately, for what, righteousness and who decides the law is the difference. We have no righteousness.”

Young Master Lian hesitated a little, and asked: "Is it possible to use the unrighteous people?"

Rebel Mo laughed and said: "In the past, Qi Huan became the hegemony, he made a fool of himself to get close to the palace, and Yi Ya cooked his son to flatter him. These are all unrighteous people, so before he died, Qi Huan covered his face with his sleeves and was ashamed to see Guan Zhong under Huangquan. But when Qi Huan went into exile, did Yi Ya and Shu Diao follow him?"

"I haven't heard of it."

Rebel Mo said again: "In the past, Goujian tried his best to destroy Wu, but he did his best to kill the language. We didn't dislike you and worry about you. Do you still have the right to doubt us now?"

"Three Jins are powerful, Wei Si seeks scholars, Li Kui seeks talents, talented people go to Wei, how many people in the world are willing to follow you? Do you still have to pick and choose?"

"The rebellion of Han, Zhao, Wei and other six ministers led to the strong Jin Dynasty. Should Chonger kill Zhao Chengzi and Wei Wuzi when he was in exile in the past to prevent the rebellion of the six ministers a hundred years later?"

"Young Master, if you just want to be the Lord of Qin, you can use bad tactics. Of course, you won't need us. But if you want to be the Lord of Qin and the Lord of Qin, you can only use us."

"We are innocent, but we are greedy for profit. Now that you are in exile, following him is the most profitable. That's all. We have more than 30 people sitting around and discussing with you before choosing to follow you. Don't think that your virtuous name has spread all over the world. The world... If I hadn't mentioned it half a year ago, I wouldn't have cared about you."

"In the eyes of us rebels, you are nothing more than jade that was trafficked from Jingshan to a distant place by Shijia. Shijia doesn't love jade, but only loves the profit from jade sales. You will be your Qin Jun, and the country will be rich and powerful; Our revenge and achieving the desired wealth is nothing but a deal where everyone gets something."

"Zi Mozi said, there is no distinction between old and young, high and low, all are ministers of heaven, and the world is equal. In the eyes of us rebels, you have nothing noble, but you are just a person who can let us achieve our goals, and we happen to be It's just whether we want to pursue the Mohist's righteousness of equality for the world... But we no longer seek this righteousness, but it doesn't mean we don't believe in it."

Although these people have rebelled against ink, but under the influence of their ears and eyes, they don't take blood status seriously at all, and there is a sense of contempt in their hearts, and they are not polite when they speak.

The opposite is just a son in exile, if he doesn't need it, he can just leave, the world is so big, only one has the ability, is there no place for him?
Young Master Lian had never heard anyone talk to him like this, and he was extremely horrified, and he was extremely wary of the real Mohists.

But at this time, the words of the rebel had already moved him, he had no choice now, and what the other said was very straightforward, he already believed it completely.

Although the tone is disrespectful, it makes sense.

After thinking about it for a long time, he let out a long cry, calling for the dead to tell them to light a torch in the courtyard, the so-called "court burning".

There is a poem in "Xiaoya":
How is the night?The night is still young, the light of the courtyard burns.The gentleman will stop, and the sound of Luan will general.

How is the night?The night is still dark, and the courtyard is burning.When the gentleman comes to an end, Luan makes a loud noise.

How is the night?At night and in the morning, the courtyard is bright.When a gentleman stops, he speaks and observes his banner.

Court Liao's ceremony is the highest etiquette recognized by seeking talents, which is to show respect for these rebels.

Young Master Lian bowed to each other and said: "Master Ying is here to swear an oath, and never doubt it again! My wish: return to Qin, strengthen Qin, and take Xihe! Your wish: Zhongming Dingshi, famous in the world. Everyone takes what they need, we If your wish is fulfilled, your wish will also be fulfilled! Throughout my life, I will never let you down!"

Rebel Mo also bowed and said: "The sons each take what they need, which is in line with "Yi". But you will never betray me, and you don't have to make an oath. Although we rebel against Mo, we strictly respect the law and don't believe you people. Make an oath. Only hope that things will come true in the future, and formulate laws. Why can we be killed, why can we be released, why can we be imprisoned... Write down one by one, tell the world, we will abide by it, and we will be punished if we violate the prohibition. I won't intercede. But please don't say what you say, and change things three times a day!"

Young Master Lian was stunned and speechless, and nodded for a long time.

Then discuss the matters of returning to Qin, strengthening Qin, removing old nobles, and supporting new talents.The more I listened to it, the more I felt it was very meaningful. I actually forgot to eat late at night... Three days later, my face was full of joy.
