Chapter 401 It¡¯s scary to think about it carefully

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the monarch and the officials are at a deadlock with each other, external forces need to be introduced to break the deadlock.  Generally speaking, in the early Spring and Autumn Period, monarchs would bring in external forces from abroad to compete with the officials. For example, the Qin and Jin Dynasties were good at marrying countries to help each other, watch each other, and rely on foreign people to suppress their country's officials.

    But in the late Spring and Autumn Period, it was useless to cure the Qin and Jin Dynasties. Seeking external support from abroad was tantamount to seeking death. In an era when wars of annihilation occurred from time to time, it was unwise to introduce foreign troops into the country.

    Therefore, facing the oppression of the scholar-bureaucrats, the monarchs are actually already a vulnerable group, and it is difficult to find external forces that can help them.  Some people say that they can go to other nobles, but in fact other nobles are also eyeing the position of the king.

    Confucius almost became the savior of Qi Jun when he proposed "junjun, minister, minister, father, father, son, son". However, Confucius was not powerful enough to compete with the Tian family of Qi. At the same time, Confucius advocated the restoration of Zhou rites, and the king himself was a violation of etiquette. Confucius was introduced  Although he could check and balance the doctor, the king himself had to slap himself in the face, so he could only say goodbye to Confucius.

    Looking around, facing the following dilemma, who can the monarch trust and rely on?  The Legalists finally raised their arms and expressed that they could rely on us.

    "It's a pity that Legalism has not yet taken shape. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of near people, so we can't count on Legalism.

    Where do you find external forces?  After the unification, the Han Dynasty gave an answer, which was to use relatives to check and balance the officials.  The imperial power of later generations basically followed this routine, using relatives to check and balance the officials, and then relying on scholar-officials to check and balance the relatives, playing a balance game.

    ¡°But in the Spring and Autumn Period, even wives couldn¡¯t believe it. After all, there were many men on the street who could be husbands, but there was only one father.

    In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many kings in the streets, but there was only one father, so it was not unusual for him to marry a king.  On the other hand, there is only one future emperor. Marrying the emperor does not mean that everyone can do whatever they want. The emperor only has one husband and one father, so it depends on whether the emperor gives more or the father gives too much.  Generally speaking, the emperor must have given more, so the wife can still believe it, and the wife's natal family can also believe it.

    Therefore, in the era of great unification, the imperial power, relatives, and officials formed the iron triangle of power, which was quite stable.

    During the Spring and Autumn Period, you could not rely on your relatives, because the monarch's bargaining chips were too small, and he could not even control his wife.

    Who can you rely on?

    Song State is also facing the following situation of overpowering its superiors. Song Jun is also asking who in the world can be his foreign aid and restore peace to Song State?  In fact, who will help him stabilize his position as king and become the anchor of kingship?

    " Confucianism definitely won't work, because Confucianism is about self-denial and restoration of etiquette, so self-denial is not enough, but restoration of etiquette is definitely not possible.

    Neither can Taoism. Taoism believes that the world is hopeless and that everyone just needs to take care of themselves. The best way to do this is to not pluck out a dime or take away from the country.  Moreover, Taoism also requires the monarch to do nothing, but the monarch will not accept inaction, and only fools will have power but do not use it.

    So in the end, the Mohist family was left. Song Jun heard that the Mohist family was very active in the Song Dynasty recently and had a strong tendency to punch Confucianists and kick Taoists, so he thought about asking the Mohist family to help.

    So Song Jun asked people around him about the Mo family?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT ??Yi Zhiqiang, who loves the gods and ghosts, makes friends with the world, recruits talented people, uses powerful tools to cultivate seeds, and promotes healing to the hearts of Taoist friends. Everyone in the Song Dynasty welcomes him.

    Song Jun is so awesome when he hears it?  Immediately arrange to meet the giant. This is the foreign aid he needs. If Mozi enters the court, wouldn't it be safe?

    At this time, villains jumped out. These villains are all treacherous and loyal. On the surface, they are thinking about the king, but in fact, they are all for their own interests.  After all, they are parasites attached to the monarch. The monarch only has so much blood, and the villains themselves can't get enough. If Mozi comes, won't they absorb even less?

    Therefore, the villain will never allow Mozi to take a share of the pie, so they said to Song Jun: "The Mohist giant has the appearance of a sage." The villain's method is to praise and kill him. What is a sage?  In ancient times, the sages were the kings, and the kings were the sages. It is only now that virtue does not match the situation.

    So the kings are afraid of sages, because if sages appear, where will they be?  Aren¡¯t you going to be the green leaf that supports the sages?  When the time comes, if all the people of the country elect sages as kings, then won¡¯t the clown become the king himself?

    Back then, Confucius was also praised like this by villains, and now it¡¯s Mozi¡¯s turn.

    Song Jun really hesitated when he heard this. He was still self-aware and knew that he was far behind the sages.

    But the Mo family is indeed a foreign aid to break the deadlock. At this time, it depends on whether the monarch has the courage and whether the monarch's hatred for the doctor exceeds everything else, including his attachment to the position of the monarch.

    Seeing that Song Jun was still hesitating, the villain immediately said: "I heard that the Mohists were very capable and would provide medical consultation to the people of the country. The people of the country were grateful to the Mohists and joined them one after another. The Mohists were as strong as Shang Tang and Zhou Wu."

    Song Jun sweated on his forehead and immediately said, "Let's talk about this later." He didn't want to be replaced.

    It seems that the villain succeeded, but that night, an eunuch who had joined the Mo family came to Song Jun and remonstrated: "I heard that your Majesty wants to see the giant, but I don't know why there is no follow-up?"

    When Song Jun saw that he was an eunuch in the palace, he didn't hide it and said directly: "I really want to see him, but everyone says that Mozi has the appearance of a sage, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to compare with him." The monarch did not name him.  Who was the villain who caused the trouble? He just said in general terms that the people around him said it to him.

    The eunuch immediately knew that the monarch was worried about his position, so he persuaded him: "I have also heard some Mohist ideas, one of which is called 'suppressing the murderous intention'. The Mohists believe that 'holding a sharp weapon, the murderous intention arises', and the Mohists know medical skills  Learning skills is like holding a sharp weapon. If they really want to take over the king, they don't need to stand in front of the king before taking action. Because the Mohists suppress the murderous intention, they will not threaten the king, but fight with the king.  If we become friends, your Majesty will also be a member of the Mo family, so who will threaten you?"

    "Am I also a member of the Mohist family?" This is a new statement. Song Jun never thought that as the king of a country, he could also join the Mohist family.  But soon he asked worriedly: "I heard that people in the Mo family rub their heads and put their heels down. Even the rich men work until the skin on their heads and soles is worn out. I don't like working." Song Jun said that he wanted to  If he wanted to work, he would not join the Mo family.

    "Your Majesty, you are indeed hard-working, but you also said that the Mohist position is not limited to craftsmen. The king and ministers also have positions, but the division of labor is different, and there is no distinction between high and low." It was because he was respected in the Mohist family that the eunuch joined the Mohist family without hesitation.  , and now it is even more admonishing, hoping that Song Jun will also join in.

    Song Jun also has a simple mind. As long as he is smarter, he will think too carefully. Even the people around him are already Mohists, so who else is not a Mohist?  Mohists have penetrated into every aspect.

    The division of labor is different, and there is no distinction between high and low?  Song Jun doesn't like to hear this. He is a duke, the first of the five male nobles, and the first among the emperors. Why is there no distinction between high and low?  Especially since I am a descendant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and my bloodline can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty. That means 'the princes, generals and ministers really have the kind'. How come there is no distinction between high and low?

    The eunuch found that after he finished speaking, Song Jun's face was not very good-looking, and he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. Song Jun was a duke and a noble, and he had to distinguish between high and low.  His mind immediately changed, thinking about how to make up for it. He must facilitate the meeting between Song Jun and Juzi.
