Chapter 62
The Mohists can only use this method to punish Shengchuo.

It's not that there is no other way, but that he has his own set of theoretical systems, and the rewards and punishments for Mohists must conform to the set of theories he upholds.

Mozi's definition of crime is as follows: "Crime: breaking the ban, but harming the innocent."

When the prohibition is enacted, as long as the prohibition is not violated, then even if the harm is caused, it is innocent.

If the order does not prohibit, it is permitted, and even if it is harmful, it will not be punished.

The harm caused can only be punished according to the prohibition it violates, not according to the degree of harm, but laws must be formulated according to the degree of harm.

Sheng Chuo caused harm, and what he violated was the prohibition of being an official without righteousness, so the punishment can only be punished according to the order of being an official without righteousness, that is, to stop him from politics.

Sheng Chuo tore his face directly, saying that the righteousness of the Mohist is a dirty thing in the world, and it has never happened before.

Since it didn't happen, it wasn't expected.

All that can be done is to expel Sheng Chuo from the ink team, and then use this as a warning to fill in these loopholes and enrich the ban.

But before the injunction is executed, no future injunction can be used to punish the crime at this time.

Similarly, his praise of fitness is also in line with Mozi's theoretical system.

"Reward: The work of the superior and the inferior."

Since it is necessary to repay the merit, it is appropriate to pay less money and value righteousness, so there is really no way to repay the merit except praise.

Sheng Chuo called Shi "Shoemaker Shi", which is why Mo Zi praised Shi so much.

In his view, "people are all ministers of heaven without young or old, high or low."

Heaven endows people with equal rights and qualifications. There is no high or low under the sky, and everyone is equal.

That's why "people who are farmers and workers, if they have the ability, they will be promoted."

Don't look at blood, seniority, seniority, parentage, but ability. The phrase "a shoemaker is suitable" is an important reason for Mozi's criticism of comparison.

In fact, Sheng Chuo was right in saying something.Just because of the sentence that heaven endows everyone with equal rights and qualifications, Mozi's righteousness has already become "indecent" in this era.

But from Shi's point of view, this is the most amazing thing.

Obviously, Mozi only needs to change that everyone is a minister of the sky to a son of the sky, and then he can seamlessly connect with Jianai and run all the way towards the evil path of monotheism.

After demonstrating the theory that everyone is equal and all ministers of heaven, Ke Mozi used an extremely secular explanation on the issue of universal love: mutual benefit, people love and help each other can get more benefits, so they should love both .It's not that everyone is the son of heaven, so the theory of blood and relatives at this time should naturally be combined with love.

In addition to benefits, Mozi also uses dialectics to complete the internal logic cycle of universal love: loving all people is not not loving oneself, and oneself is among all people.As you are in what you love, love is given to you.To love others without distinction means that everyone loves himself.If you love yourself, you can only get a share of love. If you love others, you can get all the love you love for others plus the love you love yourself.

What is appropriate for the village community, and what is appropriate for doing justice with the money obtained from wheat flour, is not necessarily out of the universal love of all people.

However, Shi can use harsh words to attack Sheng Chuo, who has a bad reputation, but others cannot use harsh words to attack Shi who is in the limelight.

We can only observe his actions and see their effects, and know his heart by his actions.

Therefore, in Mozi's view, all these actions are precisely the expression of loving all people.

Mozi believes that Shi is a person who loves others as much as himself, and deserves such praise.

Except for Sheng Chuo and others, the vast majority of Mohists feel that such praise is okay, and it is also a spur to themselves and other Mohists.

There was only one person who was very close to Shi, who had a little doubt.

Liuzhi, who was following Shi, looked at Shi, pondered over Mozi's compliment just now, and recalled the story Shi once told.

Although he was a little nervous, after swallowing his saliva, he imitated Shi's appearance and asked, "Ju Zi, you... do you think Brother Shi is useless when you praise him so much?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed. Liuzhi was the youngest Mohist. Although he claimed to be, his previous performance had already won everyone's approval.

At this moment, when he suddenly asked such a strange question, everyone thought that he was young, maybe he had thought something wrong, but they just laughed and did not refute it.

Mozi smiled and looked at this child who made him feel very good, and asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?"

Liuzhi has been listening to Shi's stories about Mozi, and he respects Mozi, but when it comes to Shi, he still musters up the courage to speak.

"Juzi, Brother Shi told me a story. The more you value someone, the easier it is for you to scold him. Brother Shi said, if I become a Mohist in the future, if someone scolds me and is justified, then I must not When I get angry, I feel that I am valued, otherwise why scold me?"

"Brother Shi said that Geng Zhuzi was scolded by you all day long, and he was not happy. You said, if you were going to the Taihang Mountains, with a horse and a cow, which would you choose to whip? Whipping a horse is not because you hate horses, but because you think horses It’s faster than a cow. As for a cow, spurs are useless, so it’s better to put it there and feed it well, and wait until it’s used as a sacrifice... You don’t want Brother Shi to be a sacrifice, do you?”

The timid voice, the hesitant and tense expression, and the desire to protect the heart of the person he respects are mixed together in this child who is under 15 years old, which is complicated and interesting.

All Mohists, including Mozi, were amused by Liuzhi's words.

Only Shi, who didn't care about Lian Shengchuo's curse before, was shocked, his whole body trembled, and his back was covered with cold sweat.

Just now he was still immersed in the excitement of Mozi's praise of himself, and having this sentence recorded on the bamboo slips, this is what he really wants, and it is not the same as Sheng Chuo's gift.

But Liuzhi's seemingly childlike words gave Shi a great vigilance.

He was going to give this story to Liu Zhi, but now this story is told by Liu Zhi again, it seems to be a child's talk, but it actually makes Shi cold sweat.

I'm not dead yet!Only the dead can possibly receive such an evaluation.

The theory of offering sacrifices is nonsense, Mozi must have a second hand in doing things, and I am afraid that he was too happy just now.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Mozi quietly. The expression on his face was a bit strange. Mozi didn't pay attention, but smiled and came to Liuzhi's side and said, "Son, someone feeds the horse with beans. The horse is very fat. So he felt that animals like to eat beans. One day, someone gave him a tiger, and he also fed beans to the tiger, but the tiger didn’t eat it. Let me ask you, is it wrong that horses like to eat beans? Tigers don’t like it Is it wrong to eat beans?"

Liuzhi shook his head and said, "That's right."

Mozi nodded and said, "That's it. Some people need to be whipped and scolded, this is their beans. Some people need to be praised and rewarded, this is their meat. It is wrong to feed horses with meat. It can be fed to tigers." Beans, isn’t it right? They are all food, but they have to be divided into beans and meat because of tigers and horses.”

Liuzhi seemed to understand it, and felt that since the giant was not going to be a proper sacrifice, there was no need to worry.

After saluting, he obediently retreated behind Shi, and continued to organize the bamboo slips.

After Mozi finished talking about Liuzhi, he glanced at Shi again, and suddenly said to the group of Mozi, "Why do people only have posthumous posthumous titles after they die?"

Qin Huali replied: "Because a dead person can't change what he did before he was alive. It can't be changed, so he can be given a posthumous posthumous title."

Mozi asked again: "Then it is said that posthumous posthumous titles are not due to death, but because they cannot be changed. Is this the truth? Death may not be changed, but death is just a minor reason for not changing, not a major reason. This is the case. Does it make sense?"

Qin Huali nodded, and the Mozhe who approached also nodded.

Mozi suddenly turned to Shi and asked, "Shi, since you have become a Mohist, can your heart of righteousness remain unchanged?"

There was almost no hesitation or pause, and he used a sentence that did not exist at this time.

"I also have the kindness of my heart, even though I have died nine times, I have never regretted it! The kindness of my disciple's heart is to do righteousness, so the heart of doing righteousness will never regret it after nine deaths!"

Mozi laughed loudly and said: "I once said that if the emperor makes mistakes, he must be punished. You said that you want me, the Mohist, to forge the sword of rewarding and punishing the world. You are neither the emperor, nor can you use this sword of rewarding and punishing the world. A three-foot copper sword is enough. This is an order, and it is also an alliance."

After all, Mozi didn't look at Shi, and called out several names in a long voice.

Every time a person is called, one person will come forward in response.

"Poultry slippery!"

"Yes!"

"Gongzaoye!"

"Yes!"

"Meng Sheng!"

"Yes!"

"Luo Huali, Gao He, Xian Zishuo, Cao Rang, Wei Yili..."

He called the names of more than ten people in a row, and each name surprised Shi Shi.

Except for the few familiar ones, the last few people are either the villainous youths who ran rampant in the village, or the "warriors" who kill people at every turn, or the assassins who killed the nobles and changed their names and then hid themselves among the Mohists...

The dozen or so people stood in front of Mozi, who still smiled and said: "The order is issued by the giant, if you don't violate the order, you are not guilty. I will make an order today."

"Shi knows the will of heaven and swears to do righteousness. If he does not act righteously, he will harm the world, more than ordinary people. If the emperor has committed a crime, he must be punished. How about Yu Shi? From today onwards, Ruo Shi is still in the Mohist school, which violates righteousness The thirteen of you must raise the three-foot sword and kill him!"

Qin Huali and Gong Zaoye both admired Shi, but they didn't hesitate at all when they heard what Mozi said.

"Principal Commander! The disciple swears that if this is the case, even if he hides in the Luoyi King City, even if he is guarded by armored soldiers, even if the disciple dies, he will be killed!"

Shi swallowed his saliva, and looked at the 13 people who took orders, none of them were not famous.

People like Gong Zaoye are capable of killing dozens of soldiers with one blow.

What's more, Qin Huali was basically appointed as the next giant. Since Qin Huali took the order, it meant that all Mohists would receive this order.

It's not that Mozi doesn't care about the Tianzhi, Mr. Sai and Tang Han that he mentioned, but he cares very much, and he also understands how much power is contained in it.

That's why I used that eulogy to hold myself high, and then use these people's three-foot sword to supervise.

That praise was a net that Mozi gambled on his reputation as a knowledgeable person all his life, a net that spurred Shi to move forward, and a net that added countless psychological costs to Shi's betrayal.

For those who are praised all day long, those praises are also a kind of bondage, a bondage that forces them to move forward but not back.

The three-foot sword was Mozi's reaction after hearing Shi said to cast a sword that rewards and punishes the world. He didn't believe that heaven punished the emperor, so he wanted Mozi to forge a sword that rewarded and punished the world. A three-foot sword.

Punishment is suitable, you don't need the sword of the world, you only need the three-foot sword.

Those Tianzhi, Gaiyuan, Caobo, Lishu, Tianxiajian, Paradise, and Sibaiqiudian all belong to Mo... All these sayings make Mozi have to guard against, and he has to guard against it so carefully.

It's not unbelief, it's just increasing the cost of betrayal so that it doesn't betray.This is the function of laws and regulations, and it is for the sake of the world that there will be no more laws and regulations.

After all, Mo Zi was reasonable. After the oath of more than ten people, Mo Zi asked Shi: "If you don't want to, you can leave Mo Zhe like Sheng Chuo. If you leave Mo Zhe's army, the order of the giant will not be controlled." As far as you are concerned, unless you do something that disrupts the world, your life will not be in danger. But if you really want to do justice to the world and stay among the Mohists, you must implement such laws. Think about it, whether to leave ? Or stay?"

Everyone thought that Shi would say something astonishing as the kindness of the heart, nine deaths and no regrets, but they didn't want Shi to answer directly whether to leave or stay, but asked: "Sir, there are two things I didn't get right. Clear, so I can't decide yet."

"First, righteousness always has a purpose. What should the world look like in the hearts of us Mohists who practice righteousness? This is what I must know."

"A man from Shangqiu wants to go to Chu, but he goes north. He must be wrong. I know this. Mr. Doing righteousness now is like a husband who wants to go to Chu, but doesn't tell the driver that he wants to go to Chu. Instead, he sits on the left side of the car and says: Go forward, bypass that tree, cross that river, turn around that mountain..."

"Everything you say is correct, and it is righteous, but just like those Mohists who are confused and do not distinguish between righteousness and righteousness, they don't know where they are going."

"Therefore, Mohists must have a charter. This charter is to tell every Mohist what the world should be like after practicing righteousness. Knowing this, then you can know whether what you are doing is doing righteousness. It will not Only when there are opposites and opposites, can we truly share the same meaning.”

"Only when you know the purpose can you know whether the approach is correct. Only when you know about going to Chu can you know that going to the north is wrong."

Mozi didn't answer, he didn't teach, he didn't scold or disappoint.

Instead, with a smile on his face, he asked, "Second?"

 There is also suspicion of Chen She Yingzheng.Dear friends, don’t make wild assumptions~ It’s just a small white article that happened a long time ago, some of the words of these people are also the original words in the scriptures, whether they have three children or take over indirectly, they have nothing to do with reality , are the original meaning of the ancients, don't think about it.If you see some weird organization names, don't make complaints about them.Another: After discussing this meeting of Mohists, the secretariat was renamed as the secretary of the book, and the appropriate duty was changed to the secretary of the book.
