Chapter 63
"Second."

"Sir, I am seventeen this year, and Mr. is seventy this year. After Mr. passes away, who will decide whether I am doing justice? After Mr. passes away, Qin Huali, Gong Zaoye, Meng Sheng... I, even if I am still a child's six fingers, etc. Everyone dies. After we die, who can guarantee that the one who becomes a giant is not someone like Sheng Chuo?"

"Sir, you can reward and punish me. Who will reward and punish those Mohists who violate righteousness in the future?"

"People are subject to change. That's why the master casts thirteen swords in case I rebel. Then, how can we ensure that the selected giant is righteous? How can we ensure that the heart of the giant is the heart of every Mohist? How? Guaranteed to be synonymous at the same time, but also to ensure that the words of the giant uphold the current righteousness of Mr.?"

"Where are the thirteen swords of the giants of later generations?"

"After these people pass away, how can we ensure that all the Mohist will respect the words of the Mohist? Only when the righteousness of the Mohist is synonymous with the Mohists in the world can it be guaranteed, so how can we ensure that the Mohist is synonymous with the Mohist in the world?"

"It can be both speculative and concentrated, which is the right way for future generations."

"If these two matters are not resolved, the disciple dare not agree."

"It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm afraid that righteousness will be difficult to do! I believe in the master, but I don't believe in the giants a hundred years later! With the master, Qin Huali, Gong Zaoye, Meng Sheng, Mo Chengzi and others are here, I don't worry about my Mohists, but I Worried about the Mo family after they pass away!"

"When Zhongni passed away, Confucianism was divided into six parts. Zisi, Zixia, Zizhang, Yan Huihou, Zhongliangzi, and Qidiaokai passed on to their disciples. If the first matter is not resolved, the Mohists also have this concern; the second matter is not resolved. Solve it, Mo Zhe may also score six points!"

What he said seemed a little alarmist, but it wasn't all alarmist.

At this time, Xunzi had not yet been born, and the theory of Confucianism's eighth part had not yet appeared, but the Confucianism of six parts had already been established.

The six are all disciples of Zhongni, and each believes that their own Confucianism is the real Confucianism. Although they have not yet reached the point of accusing each other of heresy, they are coming soon.

Mohists can laugh at Confucian scholars like this now, but Mohists will end up similarly.

Meng Sheng was killed by Wu Qi's death-defying counterattack, and all the Mohists in the organization were wiped out. The discipline of the Mohist family was broken by Meng Sheng: before he died, he passed the position of giant to Tian Xiangzi, but the Mohist disciples did not obey. Tian Xiangzi's order.

After all the key members were wiped out, the Mohist School was divided into three.One entered Qin, one entered Chu, and the other part came to Jixia Academy.

Each faction has elected its own giant, and each faction believes that the other family is a heretic.

In the final analysis, it lies in the first point of the suit.

Mozi practiced righteousness, but he did not systematize these principles, nor did he propose what the world should be like after practicing righteousness.

Mozi's knowledge is incomparable to later generations of Mozi. If you can't compare with knowledge, then you can only learn from the rest of Mozi: take pleasure in suffering.

Originally, suffering was only for the sake of doing righteousness, but some Mohists in later generations turned suffering into a unity of purpose and means. In the end, this group of Mohists who did not enter the Qin Dynasty and merged with the official system also died-they no longer knew more than anyone who knew the will of heaven. , Whoever does the righteousness is greater than who can endure hardship, who can be as tired as Dayu, and the hairs on his legs are soaked and bald with sweat.

Hard work is hard.

But compared to Mozi's other skills, it is the easiest to learn through hard work.

When a person cannot become a sage but wants to learn from a sage, he will always choose the easiest point of the sage to learn, and then turn this easiest point into the whole sage, thus getting closer to the sage.

But the saint is no longer the same person, but a strange, self-created alien with the same name of his own creation.

Confucius was also a sage of Confucian scholars, so he was also changed to the same name by later Confucian scholars, but he was not a master with six skills and was good at driving and archery.

For Mohists, the alienated asceticism of Mohist thought in later generations has prevented more people from joining Mohism.

Therefore, after Meng Shengzhi's death, the Mohist's organizational scale has not recovered, and they no longer have the strength to interfere in ordinary affairs.

Right now we are in the best era of Mohism.

Mozi is still there, and Mohism is the most prosperous and is still expanding.

The person who founded the Mohist school is still alive, some loopholes can still be plugged, and some dross limited by the times can still be removed.

So he must solve these problems at the root, otherwise the fate of the Mohists is inevitable.Even if Wu Qi's posthumous conspiracy is avoided, the situation in the world cannot be reversed.

The first doubt is to change the Mohists from a mysterious group to a group with a clear political purpose; the second doubt is to make myself one of the leaders of the Mohists in the future, even if it is one of them.

When Mozi heard Shi's two questions, he was neither angry nor accused, and his expression became a little cautious.

After that serious illness, he was thinking about the future of the Mo family.

One is about to die, and the other is that it is difficult to support the theory of ghosts and gods.

When the village community dealt with Sang Sheng, Mozi saw it with his own eyes and was touched. He seemed to understand a little bit, but he couldn't grasp the essence.

Obviously, each of those farmers can have their own opinions, but the final opinion is still an appropriate one.

That was not the way Mozi organized, but it achieved the effect Mozi wanted to pursue.

Mo Zi was also deeply touched by Shi Shi's story of opposites.

It is true that he is doing righteous things now, but just as Shi said, the driver is listening to him, and the driver himself does not know where to go.

It's okay to be alive, but what should I do if I die?
After his death, maybe the second generation of giants can know where to drive, but what about the third generation?What about the fourth generation?

Although Qin Huali is smart and has a tough personality, he is not someone like Gong Shangguo who can understand all his thoughts.

Besides, Qin Huali is also old, what happens after Qin Huali dies?Can everyone in the future giants really be like themselves and know a clear purpose?

Shi said that Confucianism has six points, which is something that even a smart person like Zhong Ni did not expect.

Although Mozi criticizes Confucian scholars, he respects Zhongni very much and often praises him. He thinks that Zhongni is extremely intelligent, but the reason is different.

Therefore, Mozi had to be cautious about Shi's last words.

A group of Mohists were also meditating on this question, and Mozi asked: "Mr. Na Sai and Mr. Tang Han taught you all these things?"

Shaking his head and nodding again, he said, "Mr. Tang Han once commented on Mr. I don't know if Mr. wants to hear it or not?"

Since it is an evaluation, there are naturally praises and slanders.

Mozi laughed and said: "The person who can create the official script is far more intelligent than me. Of course you have to listen. You just say it."

Shi took a deep breath, pondered over the vocabulary, and said: "Although Mo Di is alone in doing justice, what is the world! In the past, Yu's obliteration of floods cut rivers and connected Siyi and Kyushu. There are three hundred famous mountains and three thousand branched rivers. , There are countless small ones. Yu personally manipulated the scorpion and mixed the rivers of the world. The legs have no legs, the shin is hairless, the rain is very heavy, the wind blows, and the nations are set. Yu is also a great sage, and so is the world. Mo Di imitated Yu, who has no fan, no hair, bathes in rain and wind, also has the ability to connect the world and rivers. His ability is important, and his suffering is light. However, if Mo Di passes away, there will be few disciples who can fully utilize their talents; Therefore, for a hundred years, later generations of Mohists must wear brown fur and clogs as clothing, and work day and night, taking self-suffering as the extreme, or saying: 'It can't be like this, it's not the way of Yu, it's not enough to be called Mo'. The Mohists of the later generations must have progressed by suffering from the lack of legs and hairless legs. However, Mo Di’s talent and the heart of the world are rare. It is because he knows the difficulty of righteousness because of his suffering. Mo Di is really good in the world, and he will not be able to ask for it. Yes, even withered and unwilling to give up, a talented scholar is also a husband! But after that, he will decline!"

This is the comment on Mozi in the Tianxia chapter of "Zhuangzi", which is reproduced after slight modification.This is a famous article for later generations.

These words, slightly modified to describe Confucius, also make sense.

There are too few people who have the talent of Confucius, so what can be learned is only the easiest to learn from Confucius, and the essence of it is discarded.

The dross is easier to learn than the essence.

She knew that in her own capacity at this time, it was not appropriate to say such a thing.But because the Mr. Sai and Tang Han he fabricated can be said through their mouths.

Mozi seemed to be making a final conclusion in advance, and said the previous praise.

In turn, he used the fabricated name of Tang and Han to make a conclusion for Mozi that seemed to be a final conclusion.

Some mysterious, some mysterious.

He knew that if he didn't take advantage of today's opportunity to speak clearly, it would be too difficult to do things in the future.

So he said this and said, "Sir. A leopard and a tiger don't look the same. A donkey with a tiger's skin and a real leopard, so who is more like a tiger? People who only care about fur will say donkey Like, but those who value the original will say that the leopard is like. So, do you want the Mohists of later generations to be like donkeys in tiger skin? Or like leopards? This disciple doubts."

"Mr. is like a tiger, but all the disciples have tiger teeth, tiger claws, tiger skin, and tiger whistle, but none of them can stand alongside him. In the future, teeth, claws, skin, and whistle, who will be the tiger? The four If they are in harmony, one is a tiger; or are all four of them a tiger? This disciple has two doubts."

After Shi said these two doubts, there was a complete silence in the venue, everyone was thinking about Shi Shi's words.

Sheng Chuo and the others, who seem to have been forgotten by the Mohist, are also thinking about these words.

Mozi didn't directly answer Shi's doubts, nor did he directly explain these two things, but pointed to Sheng Chuo and others and said: "The things here are the affairs of the Mohist. You are no longer Mohist, and don't bother anymore." Listen. Mo Zhe, send them away!"

Gong Zaoye got up and walked forward.

Although Sheng Chuo and the others have said nothing, they still have feelings in their hearts.

Seeing these familiar Mohists want to discuss with each other again, but I can't participate, I feel a little bit disappointed.

Sheng Chuo prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Sheng Chuo bid farewell to Mr.! I will never forget Mr.'s kindness. Mr. does not ask for a ring, but the disciple must repay Mr.'s kindness."

"Although you are no longer a Mohist, if you are driven by me in the future, you will be a dog and a horse. Doing righteousness is too hard, and it is difficult for disciples to persevere. But please believe me, Sheng Chuo also had the heart to do righteousness, not the kind of scheming generation."

"Mr. is well-respected, and he has left this testimony. I wish him the beginning and the end! A disciple's sword is not as good as a public sword. If one day in the future, he violates the righteousness, the disciple will also punish him!"

After finishing speaking, he let out a long whistle, and before Gong Zaoye came to drive him away, he bowed to Mozi three times with the dozen or so people, got up and walked.

He drew out the bronze sword, slapped it with his rough fingers and made a ding-dong rhythm, singing as he walked.

"In the past, I went away, Yangliu Yiyi. Now I come to think about it, it is raining and snowing."

"The road is slow, and I am thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, and I don't know I am sad!"

"My heart is sad, I don't know my sorrow! My heart is sad, I don't know my sorrow!"

After walking for dozens of steps, more than ten people stopped singing and turned around at the same time, saying: "Mr. is a hundred years old! May your righteousness prevail in the world! Disciple who betrayed righteousness, farewell sir!"

The last mournful cry was drowned in the wall of dirt, and there was no more sound.

　"Zhuangzi, Zapian, Tianxia" respects and criticizes Mozi very much.By the time Zhuangzi came to school, the Mohists had already been reduced to a mysterious group that compared bitterness, and they no longer had the energy and spirit that Meng Sheng had before.Mozi learned from Yu because he has Yu's ability.Later generations of Mohists did not have that kind of ability, so they had to learn the easiest way to learn, self-suffering.sad husband!
　　In addition, at this time there is no Confucian eight-point theory, but in the eight-point Confucianism, except for the two schools of Mencius and Xun in later generations, basically all of them have appeared, and the remaining one will be merged with the theory of five virtues and destiny after the emergence of Jixia Academy. Supplement it with Zixia here.According to Xunzi's eight points, there is no Zixia Confucianism, but the Mohists have dealt with Zixia Confucianism a lot, and the mutual calling of pigs, dogs, and beasts also started from Zixia's disciples, so there must be Zixia Confucianism among the Confucian scholars familiar to Mohists. (It was the conflict between Zixia's disciples and Mozi that caused Mozi to scold Confucian scholars like pigs and dogs. In turn, Zixia's disciples first scolded Mozi as inferior to animals.) But now, Confucianism is on the decline, and Yang Zhu and Mohism are mainstream for the next 30 years.Therefore, Mencius said that Yang Mo's way is endless, and Confucius' way is not.The era when Qin Huali was a tycoon was the time when Mohists flourished the most, and it was also a time when they were equally influential with liberals such as Yang Zhu.One wants the wind and rain to enter and the king cannot enter, and the other wants the social contract theory plus the right of natural equality. The shadows are gone and integrated into "Tao Zang", and I also want to thank the Mohist school who went to the school after three points.
