After returning to the palace, I ordered preparations the next day and set off the next day. The next stop was to enter Nanjun, passing through Yicheng County (today's Xiangyang) and Dangyang County (today's Jingmen) to Jiangling, the seat of Nanjun.
Early the next morning, all ministers were summoned to a court meeting in the palace to deal with recent reports, mainly the progress of various arrangements for the Western Regions, the Xiongnu and the Northern Hu.
After the court meeting, I wanted to go out and conduct a secret investigation, but then I thought that I got off the car at the city gate, and I was afraid that many people would already remember my appearance, so I gave up.
After dinner, Meng He suddenly came in to report. He Xian asked to see him.
I'm a little surprised. Is there anything I didn't say at Nanyang Jiangzuofu yesterday? He waved his hand and He Xian walked in after a moment.
He bowed and said, "I have seen Your Majesty!"
I waved my hand and said with a smile: "Come and sit down. I'm a little bored. You came at the right time."
He Xian thanked him and sat down.
I looked at him carefully and said with emotion: "I didn't talk to you in detail yesterday, but if I look closely today, I have worked too hard! I think you were only thirty years old when we first met in Lishan Mountain, and we passed away like this. It’s been six years in a blink of an eye!”
He Xian was also a little disappointed, and sighed: "If it weren't for your majesty's praise, how could I be where I am today! It's hard for me to repay your majesty's great kindness in this life!"
I waved my hand and said with a smile: "Don't talk about that. Why do you come to see me?"
He Xian became a little nervous and said uneasily: "I have been hiding something from your majesty. It is a harmless and trivial matter, but now that your majesty is touring the world, I feel that it is better to tell your majesty the truth. Please forgive me!"
I didn't care. Six years had passed and five years had passed since he came to Nanyang. There wasn't much interaction between the two of them. Is there anything that still deserves my attention now?
"It's okay, just tell me."
Unexpectedly, He Xian organized his words, and the first sentence he spoke aroused my curiosity: "My real name is not He Xian, and Gongshu Jin is not a member of the Gongshu family, but a member of my Moh family!"
I was stunned and stared at him in astonishment. I didn't expect him to say such a sentence and asked curiously: "What do you mean? Why don't you use your real name? Gongshujin's surname is Gongshu, so how can he be from your Mo family?"
Being able to work for Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng wouldn't even know their details, right?
He Xian paused and asked, "Your Majesty is well versed in hundreds of schools of thought. Do you know that the Mohist family is divided into three factions?"
I nodded: "Of course I know. Since the death of Mozi, the Mohist school has divided. There is the ink of the Xiangli family called Qin ink, the ink of the Deng Ling family called Chu ink, and the ink of the Deng Ling family called Chu ink. Qi Mo's Xiangfu clan call each other Biemo. When you serve Da Qin, should you be Xiangli clan's Mo?"
He Xian said respectfully: "Exactly. Qin Mo is pragmatic, Chu Mo is a knight, and Qi Mo is speculative. Among them, Qi Mo indulges in arguments and debates, placing his hope on the king's self-reflection. How can this be realized in a time of great strife among countries? Therefore, the Qin Dynasty declined before it unified the world;
Chu Mo went to the other extreme, advocating "splash the blood of a gentleman and let the world be brave". They believe that there is no just war in the world, and "non-offensive" means that no war is allowed! Whether it is a war of justice or a war of unity, they will choose to help the attacked party.
As for Qin Mo, the faction to which Chen belonged, there were two reasons why he helped the Qin State at that time. First, Qin's laws only focus on the merits of people, regardless of whether they are high or low, which is in line with the Mohist philosophy of advocating unity and respecting the virtuous. Second, Qin Mo believes that only by unifying the world can "non-offensive" be realized. Otherwise, as long as the countries exist, war will always be Endlessly. Therefore, Qin Mo entered the Qin State and manufactured various siege equipment, weapons, bows and crossbows to help the Qin Dynasty unify the world; he promoted water conservancy, built the Great Wall, and built Chi Road to help the head of Guizhou live and farm in peace, and truly realize "love all but not attack"! "
After listening to He Xian's words, I fell into deep thought and said to myself: "Chu Mo nominally ended the war with war, but he perpetuated the weak in the countries and prolonged the chaos in the world. But Qin Mo was the real one who used war. To stop the war, since the conquests of the various countries are not going away, then just choose a stronger one and quickly annex the other countries. After the world is unified, there will naturally be no more wars."
Then he raised his head and looked at He Xian, admiring: "Wonderful, isn't this Gatling's life-saving method? Since we can't save you with medical skills, and you still go to war after finally rescuing you, why not just invent a human life harvester?" , makes you tremble at the mention of war! No wonder the late emperor puts you in such high regard, you really share the same goals with the late emperor!"
I have refreshed my understanding of Ying Zheng, he is worthy of being the First Emperor! Qin Mo supports unification, Li Si supports the system of prefectures and counties, countless heroes can die well, and all the like-minded people gather around him! It's just about knowing and employing people. Who dares to say that Qin State has six generations of accumulation and can unify the world with just another person?
Although He Xian didn't know what Gatling was, he understood what I was saying to myself and agreed: "What your Majesty said is true, it is exactly like that!"
I digested it for a while and continued to ask: "What does this matter have to do with you and Gongshu Jin?"
He Xian explained: "Qin Mo first entered the Qin Dynasty during the reign of Duke Xiang of Qin. By the time of King Huiwen, Fu Huangfu, Tang Guguo, Maang Zi, etc., the Mohists had not yet distinguished themselves from each other. By the time of the emperor, Xiang Liqin Wu Hou, a disciple of Qin Mo, was ordered to enter Qin in the name of Qin Mo Juzi and help the emperor unify the world. However, this move aroused strong opposition from Chu Mo, who believed that Xiangli Qin was aiding Zhou in his crimes, so Deng Lingzi sent countless rangers to assassinate Xiang Liqin and Wu Hou. , and even the emperor!"
I frowned and said, "It seems that the people in Chu Mo are too paranoid and don't understand that unifying the world is what is best for Guizhou."
He Xian nodded and agreed: "Your Majesty is wise. Xiang Liqin died of illness not long after, and there were so many forbidden troops around the emperor, how could he assassinate him at close range. So Chu Mo turned his target to the five princes, but the five princes at that time He was already old and frail and could no longer serve the emperor, so he passed the position of Juzi to Xiang Duan. In order to protect the new Juzi, the five princes were still called Juzi to the outside world. At the same time, in order to prevent the new Juzi from being exposed, he also petitioned The emperor chose Yu Jin, a shrewd disciple, to lead the Qin craftsmen in the name of a public loser, so that Qin Mo would not be visible to the world."
I suddenly realized it and asked in surprise: "Are you Qin Mo Juzi Xiang Duan? That Mohist disciple Yu Jin is Gong Shu Jin?"
He Xian nodded and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is wise! The reason why I named him He Xian is to lament when Qin Mo will reappear in the world!"
I looked at He Xian curiously and sighed: "No wonder Gongshujin defended you so much when we were in Lishan. It turns out that you are his boss! I am also curious why the leader of the Mo family is Gongshujin even though it is clear that the Mo family has made great contributions in Da Qin. Man, that’s how it is! Now that the world has stabilized, when I return to Xianyang, I will rectify your name and Qin Mo’s name!”
He Xian shook his head slightly and said with a serious expression: "I am confessing to your majesty that it is not for this reason. I believe that the number of your majesty's guards is far greater than that of the emperor's patrol! So I came here to remind your majesty that you must be careful of Chu Mo when entering the old Chu land!"
