Zhu Xiuniang left the Xuanfu Department in a daze, and when she returned home, she plunged into the small study and read until the sky was getting dark and the moon was high.

Zhu Que didn't know what happened, and came to inquire several times, Zhu Xiuniang said that she was studying knowledge, and Zhu Que was a little relieved, as long as the King of Qin didn't take advantage of it, other things were nothing serious.

Zhu Xiuniang read at night by candlelight, but her brows furrowed deeper and her mind became more and more confused. She couldn't figure out what Zhao Tun said, but she couldn't refute it. At this moment, she couldn't find the answer in the book.

What Zhao Tun said before was obviously not a lie. Seeing that he was confident and eloquent, and even mentioned the word "programme" that she had never heard of, it should be that he had a school of thought in his heart.

But any theory in the world must have a source, a foundation, and the guidance of the sages. Which one did Zhao Tang learn from?Which doctrine is it an extension of?Whose guidance do you accept?
It can't be Confucianism, Zhu Xiuniang was sure, but then she couldn't help but hesitate, after all, the other party is a royal prince, how could it not be extended to Confucianism?

She frowned delicately, sat behind the desk and thought for a while, stood up after a long silence, and found a handwritten Han Feizi from the corner of the bookshelf.

Although this book is handwritten, it is very new, and it can be seen that it has hardly been read, and it is placed under many Confucian books just to make up the number.

Zhu Xiuniang opened it absent-mindedly, and when she saw Xianxue's article, the words in it attracted her.

The most prominent learning in the world is not Confucianism or ink!
Moxue, Mo said?
This doctrine, which is the greatest opposition to Confucianism, has gradually disappeared since the Han Dynasty and has no inheritance.

Although there are still some Moshuo books that have been printed, they are not complete, and many are lost. Most of them are ordered from booksellers at high prices by the Jingshu Jingge, for collection, and there is no market for them.

However, Zhu Xiuniang has read a lot of books. She had read a few volumes before, but she really didn't like the sayings in them, so she didn't even collect them. There are no such books as Mozi and Suichaozi in the study.

But because she has read it, she knows that the Mohist doctrine advocates universal love, non-gong, valuing the virtuous, advocating the same, Tianzhi, not fate, not joy, saving money and so on.

These theories are too different from Confucianism, even completely opposite, she thinks they are all different ideas!

Universal love is the biggest heterodox theory. Confucianism says that there are gradations in love, but Mohism says that there is no difference in love.

Mohist love does not distinguish between thick and thin, closeness, love for others is like love for yourself, not restricted by rank, status, fame and family, it is equal love.

But how can people be equal?
When Zhu Xiuniang thought of Feiming again, she suddenly became a little stunned. The Mohist's Feiming was specifically proposed for Confucianism's destiny, and Feiming disagreed that everything is ordered by heaven, and believed that man is determined to conquer heaven, and everything depends on human effort!
She let out a long breath, and suddenly felt relieved, and finally found the source of Zhao Tun's words, the king of Qin actually pursued the way of the Mohist school.

Zhao Tun said that man will conquer the sky, and the people have their own destiny. Isn't this the Mohist's theory of fate!
At that time, she was only thinking about the words from Confucianism, but she never thought that the words came from the Mohists.

Zhu Xiuniang couldn't figure out these theories of the Mohists, such as equal love, man's determination to conquer nature, and man's actions. She doesn't believe or approve of these.

She was born in a wealthy family, dressed in fine clothes, and was used to extravagance. Those households of merchants and peasants, and ordinary people in the market, in her eyes, were people from two worlds. How could they be equal?How can we love both?And isn't all of this destiny?
She had just read Han Feizi, and even though she glanced at it briefly, she still remembered a few articles. At this moment, she thought to herself that King Qin, as a royal family, is always sensual and intoxicated, but now he is talking about Mohism. shield?

Scholar-bureaucrats are not punished, princes break the law, and fail to share the crime with the common people. If you say that you love equality, man will conquer heaven!

Zhu Xiuniang had a calculation in her heart.

Early the next morning, she took the car to Xuanfu Division again, but this time she came uninvited. When she left yesterday, Zhao Tun didn't let her come today.

In the study room, they no longer asked about etiquette and dignity, they let people sit down and drank tea when they were offered, and then said under Zhao Tang's puzzled eyes, "His Royal Highness Qin, can you trust Mo?"

Zhao Tun was stunned, what Mo said?It took a few breaths to realize that it was the theory of the Mohist school, and he immediately understood the reason. There are some things in the Mohist school that are similar to what he said yesterday, but they are not the same thing. Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiuniang went back to investigate seriously. He shook his head and said : "I heard that the knowledge of the Mohist school is good, but I seldom dabble in it, and I don't believe it, so I'm not interested."

Zhu Xiuniang was a little confused when she heard the words, not interested, and rarely dabbled?Is this my guess wrong?

Seeing that Zhu Xiuniang's calm and pure expression turned into astonishment, Zhao Tun stood up and walked out of the case with his hands behind his back, saying, "I don't believe the four sentences of Hengqu, so why do you believe in both love and non-attack! Xiuniang, you are overthinking."

Zhu Xiuniang immediately became embarrassed. Although Zhao Tun's expression was calm, she could clearly see the contempt and ridicule beneath that plainness.

Is this secretly mocking her for her ignorance?Zhu Xiuniang was silent for a moment, until now she didn't understand why Zhao Tun wanted to see her, not for beauty, not for study, could it be that she was just to laugh at her, the so-called No. [-] talented woman in Shezhou?
Zhu Xiuniang calmed down, thinking that the King of Qin was very strange, and his every move was irrational, so she asked tentatively, "What theory does the prince have?"

Zhao Tang looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said: "There is no goodness and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious actions, knowing the good and knowing the evil is conscience, doing good and eliminating evil is investigating things."

This...isn't this still Confucianism? !
Zhu Xiuniang's body froze, as if it was yesterday, and she stayed on the spot again...

More than a dozen miles south of Jiangning City, there is a winding path beside the official road, leading to a distant village.

Just at the end of this small road, facing the official road, there are several grass and wood houses, with pergola set up in front of the houses, and a few old wooden tables with thick bread paste, I don't know how many years old they are.

There were large coarse porcelain bowls on the tables, the bowls were shabby, many of them had nails on them, they were extremely shabby.

There is a pile of earthen stoves on one side, with a big pot on it, "Gudu, Gudu" is boiling water, and there is a small square table in the back with a mess of jars, greasy and dirty, I don't know what is in it.

There is a wooden pole outside the shed, and a tattered flag is picked out, on which the word tea is written crookedly in black charcoal.

This is a tea shop, which specializes in the business of official pedestrians, but it is too close to Jiangning, and people who go out of the city will hardly patronize it. Tea costs money.

So the business of the tea shop is not good. Right now Jiangning is closed to the city, and no one comes and goes. Everyone in the countryside knows that there is going to be a war, and no one comes here to make jokes on weekdays.

At this moment, a thin, withered man came out of the mud room behind the tea shop. He was wearing a dark black slanted jacket and a green leather gauze hat. Carrying a wine jar in one hand, grabbing a handful of unknown beans in the other hand, humming a little song, came to the table and sat down.

He patted open the mud seal, it was old burning altar, no need to sift the wine, so he ate with beans, sang while eating:

Grandpa was born in the mountains,
There is no money and no land.

Since following the second king,
The sky is high, the earth is broad, and the heart is broad.

Although he sang the song, his eyes kept staring at the official path, even his protruding ears seemed to be trembling slightly, listening to the movement around him.

In a blink of an eye, half of the jar of wine was down, the man's face turned rosy, his two rows of rat whiskers were shaking, and he continued to sing triumphantly:

The bones are soft and the body is healthy, the eyebrows are thick and the eyes are bright.

Looks like a stranger, walks like a flying fairy.

The silence of the night passes through the wall and hangs deeper around the house.

Stealing camp master guest, my name is Shi Qian.

After he finished singing, he lifted the jar to his mouth, poured the rest of the wine soup into his stomach with a "gududu", then burped, and threw the wine jar far away, with a crisp "crack", Really free and easy.

Then just when he was about to lie down on the bench and take a nap for a while, he suddenly jumped up, holding it like a flea on a drum, as light as nothing, and his legs and feet were like springs.

After jumping up, he put one hand over his ear and listened to the official road. Then his face changed, his eyes rolled, and he went to check under the flagpole outside the shop.

The flagpole was painted with a strange pattern of white paint, it was conspicuous, and it could be seen from a distance on the taupe wooden pole.

This skinny man was none other than Shi Qian who was sent out of the city by Zhao Tun. After seeing the pattern of the flagpole, he checked a few places beside him, then put a dirty and torn rag on his shoulder, and grabbed the broom Start sweeping the floor.

Just a dozen or so breaths later, there was the sound of horseshoes vibrating from the official road, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the front, which turned out to be a team of thousands of people.

There were two big flags flying in front of the team, one with the word "Holy" embroidered on it, and the other with a square character embroidered on it.

Shi Qian took a broom and looked at the team, and the team also saw this tea shop, and saw a warrior in front of him with a helmet and armor yelled "Shut up", and the team slowly stopped.

The general looked young, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face like a silver basin, and a straight waist. He looked up and down the tea stall by the roadside, and finally his eyes fell on the flagpole. His eyes were fixed on the sign above, and his expression froze.

The person next to him also saw the sign, his face changed greatly, he rubbed his eyes, and then looked carefully to confirm that it was correct, and then exclaimed in a low voice: "General Shi, this, this..."

The young warrior had an incomparably dignified expression, and said, "That's right, it's the beacon of light!"

The person next to him said: "General Shi, how can there be a bright sign here?"

The young warrior shook his head: "I don't know either, but except for the marshal and the embassy who have been in the army, the other two envoys of light are outside. But who is it?"

The person next to him said: "The right envoy and the former envoy's subordinates have never seen each other before, especially the right envoy, who only hears his name, and doesn't even know his martial arts skills!"

The young warrior looked at him and nodded: "I only know the name of the right envoy, but I have never met him. He is different from the other envoys. One line."

Of the four bright envoys of the Ming religion, the left is the most respected. The seven Buddhas of Fang are the left envoys of the light, followed by the right envoys of the light, and then the former envoys of the light. Contrary to the previous emissary, he never leaves the sect, and always follows the leader Fang La, who is Fang La's shadow.

The person next to him nodded and said: "This subordinate knows that the Qinglin Dragon King is also from the lineage of the saint, but the Qinglin Dragon King has been to the main altar, and the subordinates have seen it."

The young warrior pondered for a moment, and said: "Whether you are the right envoy or the former envoy, there must be a reason for appearing here. It may be that they know that the Holy Army wants to attack Jiangning. If they have something to say, they will leave a mark with the marshal. I will go to see you .”

The people next to him immediately agreed, and the young general jumped off his horse, led a dozen of his men, and walked towards the tea shop.

Shi Qian looked at them at this time, and seeing that they were not far away, he shouted loudly: "The sun and the moon are infinite, but because of the light, there is no joy in life, and no pain in death!"

The young warrior paused, and replied: "Punish the evil and promote the good, only because of the light, there is no joy in life, and no pain in death, please ask this brother, who is the envoy who left the mark here? "

Shi Qian took a step forward, made a meeting ceremony for the Mingjiao, and then said: "The sun and the moon are bright, God bless the envoy, it turned out to be General Shi, the head teacher, here, the subordinates are polite."

Shi Bao said: "It turns out that the right envoy is here, I wonder if he is in the room at this moment? I'll go and pay a visit later!"

Shi Qian shook his head and said, "The Right Envoy is not here, but left two letters, one addressed to the vanguard of the Holy Army, and the other addressed to the Zuo Envoy, Marshal Seven Buddhas."

When Shi Bao heard that the right envoy was not here, he showed a puzzled look on his face. After all, they only saw the bright sign approaching, and Shi Qian just made a simple incision in the sect. If the right envoy Li Fei was there, would they meet He knew the truth and falsehood, but at this moment when this person said that the envoy was not there, doubts arose in his heart.

Shi Qian has traveled all over the rivers and lakes for a long time, observing words and expressions, and has already seen what Shi Bao is thinking. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it forward: "General Shi, this letter is from the Right Envoy to the vanguard of the Holy Army." official."

Shi Bao opened the letter to read, and the first thing he saw was the rectangular imprint at the bottom. This imprint was covered with cinnabar, with complicated patterns, and there were dense small characters on it.

Seeing this imprint, Shi Bao breathed a sigh of relief immediately. This imprint was stamped with the Token of Light. There are only four of the Token of Light in the entire sect, and only the four Great Envoys of Light have it. As for the token of the leader, it is the Token of Light. .

The Order of Light is not only the identity token of the Messenger of Light, but it can also be used as a stamp to sign some letters and verify the identity.

And the Yunlu writing on the Guangming Order is extremely complicated, and there are Persian scripts on it, so it is extremely difficult to counterfeit. Coupled with the teaching slogan, as long as you see the imprint, it is true and correct.

Shi Bao read the letter carefully at this moment, his face changed from time to time, after reading it, he nodded at Shi Qian and said, "Good brother, it really was written by the right envoy himself."

Shi Qian said with a smile: "General Shi, then this letter from the Right Envoy to Marshal Fang..."

Shi Bao said: "Brother, wait here, I will send someone to report to the rear immediately, this matter is important, it is better for the letter to be handed over to the marshal personally!"

Shi Qian said "yes" and said: "Then invite General Shi to come in for tea and wait together."

Shi Bao said: "That's very good!" After saying that, he sent someone to deliver a letter to the Seven Buddhas of the Chinese army in the rear, and then sat down in the tea shed.
