The first thousand two hundred and seventeenth section Mohist's performance (2)
"Zimozi said: The princes, princes, scholars and gentlemen in the world today want to bring benefits to the world and eliminate harm to the world. If there are ghosts and gods, they must respect the Ming Dynasty, which is the way of the sage king."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
Everyone in the world knows that Mohism has the Three Tables method, but few people study these three tables carefully.
Everyone in the world also knows that the Mohists advocate universal love, non-aggression, respect for unity, understanding of ghosts, heaven's will, non-fate, and frugality, etc., but few people understand it in depth.
Most people understand Mohism's ideas literally.
Do you love both sides and not attack?
So you are anti-war?
Fuck you, mother! How dare you resist the war?
There is also Tianzhi, Feiming, do you want to rebel?
But at this time, when Yang Yi personally revealed the true intention of the Mohist Minggui, all the officials and princes present were dumbfounded.
"It seems, it seems, what the Mo family said makes sense..." The princes began to whisper among themselves.
Even the scholar-bureaucrats were shaken.
For Chinese people, respecting and worshiping ancestors is a genetic inheritance engraved deep in the blood and will never be erased!
The Mohists, on the other hand, promoted feudal superstitious ideas under the slogan of benefiting the world. At first glance, they sounded really lofty.
At least, it is more acceptable than the Confucian idea of "respecting ghosts and gods and keeping away from them."
This is also the reason why Mohism was able to suppress Confucianism and Legalism during the Warring States Period and defeat them both.
The Mohist family is not just a practical person.
When they talk loudly, they themselves are afraid!
Famous people ** or not **?
However, in history, there were Mohist debaters who defeated all the famous debaters head-on!
When it comes to the benefits of eloquence, Mohism is actually the top three among the hundreds of schools of thought.
The other two, unfortunately, are now gg Smecta.
The Yang Zhu School died in silence.
Famous scholars were completely annexed by the Legalists.
Yang Yi glanced slightly at the ministers and princes in the audience. He knew very well that these were the people he needed to win over!
We must eliminate these people’s prejudice against the Mohists!
At least make them neutral towards Mohism!
Therefore, even though Xianglishizhimo has not talked about Minggui for a long time, it is still brought out at this moment.
The purpose is to impress these dignitaries emotionally.
"How do you understand ghosts?" Yang Yi said slowly: "It makes people awe and restrains them!"
"If people don't have awe and perseverance, wouldn't it be true that Jie and Zhou are with us, and ten days of flying sky will bring nothing to the common people in the world?"
"Ghosts and gods are looking down at you, and the way of heaven is turning, and you will be punished..."
This is the fundamental reason why the Mohists want to reveal ghosts!
At the time of Mo Zhai, all the countries in the world were fighting in chaos. There was no etiquette, no benevolence and righteousness. The people were in chaos. All kinds of ministers killed their kings, and the kings killed their ministers.
Mo Zhai was keenly aware at that time that this was because people no longer had a sense of awe.
When people don’t have awe, then naturally they can do anything!
Yang Yi's words immediately moved many people.
Some ministers nodded secretly.
Isn't that true?
Nowadays, the murderers of many cases are desperadoes without any fear!
Not only do they not fear the law, they also don’t fear the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. It’s terrible!
Seeing this scene, Yang Yi felt confident in his heart, so he continued: "Now, sacrificing ghosts and gods to ancestors is to share the happiness of the world with them, harmonize the family, and unite the neighbors! If there are no ghosts and gods, wouldn't it be a gang that is in chaos in the countryside?
order?"
This makes people feel even more comfortable.
Many people are thinking, if there are really no ghosts and gods, then the world will not be in chaos?
Most importantly, if you cannot become a ghost or god after death, then where will your soul go after you die?
In addition, today, when you realize your destiny, if there are no ghosts and gods, where will the destiny come from?
"That's why Zimozi enlightened the ghosts in order to bring great benefit to the world!" Yang Yi concluded.
These words made Liu Che also nodded slightly.
In today's world, it is naturally impossible to have any atheistic ideas.
Liu Che would not allow such rebellious thoughts to exist!
Because the imperial power is granted by heaven, and a large part of the legitimacy of the emperor's rule comes from the blessing of the ancestors.
Atheism, at least now, has no market.
but……
Liu Che knew that atheistic thought did exist at the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period...
Mo Zhai's Minggui is a direct response to those guys!
In that ridiculous and chaotic world...everything really happened.
And Yang Yi looked at the reactions of the ministers and princes in the audience and knew that he had chosen the right entry point.
As long as the ministers and princes are willing to listen to him, then this in itself is a huge success!
Of course he also knew the disadvantages of the Mohist family.
Therefore, he has been preparing for today's speech for a long time.
This speech was drafted ten times before it was finally finalized.
Clearing his throat slightly, Yang Yi said: "Zimozi also said: In ancient times, the sage kings gave five punishments to govern their people. Just like the silk threads have rules, and the nets have rules, they connect the people of the world.
Don’t be the same as those above! Therefore, if you want to bring great benefits to the world, you must be the same as the emperor!"
With that said, Yang Yi saluted Liu Che and said: "Your Majesty Fu Wei, he holds the Constitution of Heaven in his mouth, combines Yin and Yang in action, and controls the universe in action!"
At this time, the entire Shiqu Pavilion was kidnapped by him.
Regardless of whether they were willing or not, everyone, including the princes, princes, concubines and princes, knelt down and worshiped: "Your Majesty Fu Wei, you hold the constitution of heaven in your mouth, combine yin and yang in action, and guide the universe through actions!"
Liu Che laughed in his heart.
Yang Yi has been with him for so many years, and he has finally learned some skills. He is good at sneaking concepts.
Moreover, it can indeed eliminate many misunderstandings about Mohism from the outside world.
but……
Liu Che also knew that for the Mohist family, he was now in a state of both using them highly and being wary of them.
the reason is simple.
Do you think the Donglin Party is the first political force to form a party in Chinese history?
wrong!
Big mistake!
The Mo family is the one!
Moreover, Mohism's organization, discipline, coordination and execution ability are beyond compare to the Donglin Party.
At least, it’s the distance from Mars to Earth!
the reason is simple.
The entire organizational structure of the Mohist school is actually very, very close to modern political parties.
They have a unified program, unified political demands, the same pursuit of ideals, and communication channels that closely link up and down.
From master to apprentice, the goal is the same and the direction is the same.
In recent years, the Mohist societies established by the Mohists in and around Qishan Plain have destroyed Liu Che's original illusion that the Mohists were not good at governing and governing the country.
Facts have proved that Mohism is not so much a school of thought.
Rather, it is the prototype of a Chinese-style primitive political party.
But now, with Liu Che's intervention, they even started to elect Juzi, and it was one person, one vote, and they had a great time.
Can you believe this?
More importantly, Juzi still has a term of office...
What’s even more exaggerated is that these guys also know how to build their own grassroots organizations!
If they are given opportunities and space to develop, they may not be unable to take power in the future.
By the time……
Liu Che was a little worried about the future Confucian-Legalist Huang Lao.
These loose schools were no match for Mohism during the Warring States Period.
Now, in the face of the more powerful Mohist family, how long can they resist?
However, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing becoming a reality for at least twenty years.
With the current power of the Mohist family, they can't even get out of Qishan Plain, so how can they talk about governing?
……………………
I am always the most passionate and inspired when writing about Mohism.
Because, I like this school of thought!
The demise of the Mohist family was the biggest regret at the turn of the Qin and Han Dynasties! (To be continued.) 8
