Chapter 98: Qin Xiaogong's Mohist General Institute's Political Discussion
After running back to Fuhuayuan, Chu Yian drank several glasses of cold water. Qin Sheng looked at her speechlessly: "Why are you running so fast? Just walk slowly."
Chu Yian gasped for breath: "If we say one stick of incense, it means one stick of incense. We must be punctual and not break our promise."
Qin Sheng didn't comment and turned to ask Chu Xiuyuan: "Does your father-in-law need anyone to take care of things?"
Chu Yian shook his head: "No need, let him handle it himself."
After saying that, he walked to the desk and sat down, glanced at what he had written before, and completely forgot about Chu Xiuyuan.
Qin Sheng also walked to the desk and sat down, spread out the paper and picked up the pen.
They were surprisingly tacit in this matter. After just one sentence, they never mentioned Chu Xiuyuan again, but concentrated on doing the next thing.
Last time I wrote about the leader of the Mohist school who sent people to kill Qin Xiaogong and Wei Yang. The people who were trying to kill Wei Yang were stopped by an unknown force and set a fire. Those people shouted that the Mohist disciples were killing people and setting fires, and then they ran away.
After escaping the disaster, Qin Xiaogong planned to go to the depths of Shennong Mountain in person to find the headquarters of the Mohist School.
Although the Mohist School is not a country, nor is it a very powerful killer organization, it is just a school of thought.
However, this school of thought, which regards itself as the righteous way of heaven and dominates the world, has developed an arrogance that looks down on the world over the past hundred years.
Therefore, only after hearing that Wei Yang had killed more than 700 people and the county magistrate did he dare to issue a death order against Qin Xiaogong and Wei Yang. He was not afraid at all that Qin was a country and it would not be difficult for it to eradicate the Mohist school.
However, the Mohist school is well-known and has an excellent reputation. It is obviously not a wise choice to act rashly against the Mohist school. Not only will it cause great turmoil, but it will also lead to attacks from various schools.
This was obviously not what Duke Xiao wanted to see. The best way was of course to persuade the Mohists to give up the plan to kill him and Wei Yang.
With the help of a friend, Duke Xiao successfully arrived at the Mohist headquarters and discussed politics with countless Mohist disciples.
Although the process was full of ups and downs, Duke Xiao's sharp words angered the Mohist disciples several times and he was almost killed.
Fortunately, although his words may not have impressed the Mohist disciples, they impressed the Mohist leader who had been silently observing everything behind the scenes.
Just when the disciples were setting up a battle array to kill Duke Xiao of Qin, the leader of the Mohist school came out to stop it and treated Duke Xiao as a guest of honor.
At this point, Duke Xiaogong and the Mohists turned hostility into friendship, not only winning the support of the Mohists but also resolving a lot of trouble.
Qin Sheng was amazed at this passage: "Duke Xiao is truly a man of great skill and courage. He knew that everyone in the Mohist school wanted to kill him, yet he dared to go alone. His attitude was always neither humble nor arrogant. His political arguments were well-reasoned and he was even able to convince the Mohist masters. This is truly rare."
"If it were the person above, let alone arguing with the Mo family, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to go to the Mo family headquarters alone."
He not only values power, but also his life. He will find a way to eliminate any existence that may pose a threat to him.
He has learned the saying "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" to the extreme, no, it should be said that he has learned it too much.
This thought would be better used to resist foreign enemies, but it was targeted at their own people. Qin Sheng really didn't know what to say to relieve the depression in his heart.
If only he were half as good as Duke Xiao.
Hearing Qin Sheng say this, Chu Yian smiled and said, "It was actually quite dangerous. Qin Xiaogong was almost killed several times. If he can't convince the Mohist leader, he really won't be able to leave the Mohist headquarters alive."
"If he died, it would be difficult for Wei Yang's reforms to continue."
Not to mention reform, Wei Yang himself would not have a good ending. Those who were offended by him all wanted to kill him.
The matter at the Mohist headquarters was over, and the next issue was the prince's fiefdom. Previously, the prince's fiefdom was taken back because of the abolition of the well-field system.
Wei Yang, the unsympathetic politician, thought about it and felt that his actions might have gone too far, and he had to retain the prince's fiefdom.
So the prince was allowed to choose a piece of land as his fiefdom.
The prince was very happy and naturally chose his former fiefdom, Mei County.
Then there was the absurd incident mentioned above where Crown Prince Ying Si massacred the Bai clan members, causing the three tribes of Meng, Xi and Bai to surrender and plead for mercy.
When Duke Xiao heard about this, he was on an inspection tour and it was two months later that he hurried back to Liyang.
The first thing he did after returning was to visit Ying Qian. Ying Qian had suffered an unexpected disaster and had his nose cut off. Now he has completely withdrawn from the center of the reform and locked himself in his mansion.
Nothing King Xiao could persuade him. If possible, he would certainly hope that Ying Qian would continue to support the reform.
After leaving helplessly, he went to see the prince and was so angry that he almost killed him.
Duke Xiao of Qin was furious and said that if he had been in Liyang instead of Wei Yang at the time, and if he had been in charge of this matter, he would have killed Ying Si without hesitation to appease the public anger, and would not have allowed Ying Qian to suffer such injustice for no reason.
It was because it was Wei Yang who stayed in Liyang that his life was saved.
Although Qin Xiaogong did not kill the crown prince, he was extremely disappointed with him and deposed him from the position of crown prince.
Let him travel to Qin as a scholar and take a good look at what Qin has become like today, instead of just reading books and harming others and himself.
Crown Prince Ying Si also knew that he had made a big mistake. Without saying much, he bid farewell to King Xiao and left Liyang alone.
