"Xiao Xuan, although the Mohist giant has promised to lead the rest of the Mohists to join the Yanhuang Academy, you must not tell anyone about their identities. Moreover, many of these Mohists are skilled in martial arts. You must pay attention to management and don't let these People go out and cause trouble~! You know, there are a lot of people watching you now~!"
After Mo Huai, Mo Zhong and Mo Yun left with their mission, Li Gang looked at Li Zexuan and said sincerely.
Li Zexuan was startled and a little confused, so he asked: "Sir, why is this~?"
"Do you know why emperors of all dynasties have suppressed the Mohist family since Qin unified the world~?"
Li Gang put his hands behind his hands and sighed deeply, then turned around, stared into Li Zexuan's eyes and said.
Li Zexuan replied naturally: "Isn't it just because Confucianism can better govern the people~? So all other schools of thought can only slowly die~!"
This question must be answered by any modern person, because countless historians have analyzed this question: For feudal rulers, Confucianism, which takes benevolence as its core ideological system, can better cater to the ancient emperors' implementation of feudal monarchy. Demand, so Confucianism is popular, and other theories should naturally become less popular.
"You kid~!"
Li Gang stared and pointed at Li Zexuan angrily. As a mature man, of course he knew that what Li Zexuan said was the truth, but could he just say the truth casually~? He laughed and cursed, and then said: "You can talk nonsense here, but please don't say these words outside~!"
Li Zexuan knew he had made a mistake and quickly said yes.
Li Gang shook his head and continued:
"In fact, in addition to the reasons for Confucianism, there is another important reason why emperors in the past suppressed the Mohists - in the context of great unification, a powerful organization with strict internal disciplines will inevitably make the court extremely wary. Although the Mohists may only have one He is passionate and has no political ambitions, but what monarchs of all ages fear most is not greedy villains, but sage gentlemen with the ability to mobilize~!
Take Xiao He, for example. After the Emperor of the Han Dynasty established a stable position in the country, Xiao He's retainers advised him to "buy more fields and despise yourself by spoiling yourself", so that Liu Bang would feel at ease. Xiao He listened to the advice and forcefully bought the people's houses and fields at low prices. As expected, Gaozu was very happy. If Prime Minister Xiao is like Mozi and thinks of "moving the top and letting the heel go to benefit the world", maybe there will be another headless ghost in the Weiyang Palace.
Therefore, after the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, he immediately sent out the Shadow Secret Guards to hunt down the Mohists. In the Han Dynasty, the imperial court suppressed the Mohist family several times, which directly wiped out almost all the Mohist family~! The Mo family has been surviving until now, with less than a hundred people left. Although these people are no longer a threat to the imperial court, Xiaoxuan, you still have to avoid suspicion and don't fall for what others say~! "
What Li Gang said is quite right, because for a monarch, what is terrifying is not the ambition to rebel, but the ability to rebel.
Therefore, the Mohist school as an organization must only exist in the era of various countries. At that time, the great unity of the world had not yet been formed. The biggest danger faced by the monarchs of the vassal states was the enemy countries around them, so they had to be much more relaxed about the people under their rule.
Once "the six kings are finished and the world is one", the monarch will inevitably turn his subjects into enemies. Not only is it impossible for organizations like Mohism to continue to exist, but even the knights who adhere to some Mohist ideas and take it as their own duty to eliminate violence and bring peace to justice will also die because of "violating the prohibition with force." Not tolerated by the imperial court.
Li Zexuan was listening to the side, and the turbulent and bloody era emerged in his mind. He couldn't help feeling sad that such a great school of thought as the Mohist School was born in this terrible era. After a long silence, he said to Li Gang He solemnly cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you sir for reminding me, I will pay attention~!"
He knew in his heart that if Li Gang didn't really regard him as his junior, he would definitely not say these words.
Li Gang shook his head. It could be seen that he also felt pity for the fate of the Mohist family. At this time, he looked at the green bamboo in the corner outside the door and said with emotion: "The purpose of the Mohist family is: "Spoken words" "If you want to do it, you must do it yourself." There are many warriors in the Mohist sect, and all the people in the Mohist family are willing to go through fire and blade without turning back. This kind of dedication is valuable, but it can easily manifest itself as a collective behavior, which will affect the long-term development of the school. Development is useless.
At that time, the Mohist giant Meng Sheng was defending the title of Lord Yangcheng of Chu State. None of him and his 183 disciples retreated, and they all died in battle! In the chaotic world at that time, such an incident was definitely more than one for the Mohist family. Although the Mohist family had hundreds of thousands of disciples at its peak, how many times could such a large number of disciples be able to withstand such wars~?
Therefore, I believe that the Mo family's bravery and ruthlessness are not advisable. To this day, Yanhuang Academy is a good place for Mohists like them~! I hope they can teach and educate people in the academy in peace and quiet, without causing any more trouble~! "
Taking lofty ideals as the goal, strict organization as the norm, and willingness to devote to the ideal are the overall characteristics of Mohism. When they participate in social changes and practices in a collective and group manner, they can show an extremely powerful force.
However, the tragic result may just be among them: when this group suffers a strong blow, with their persistence in justice and ideals, and their spirit of preferring to die rather than retreat, the result is not collapse but only There is no grass growing. If the land falls apart, it can be managed, but if there is no grass growing, it will be unsustainable!
"That's all~! That's all~! Let's not talk about these old things. It's too late. I know that you are very particular about food. I only have pickles in my house, so I won't let you eat here, so as not to make you feel disgusted~ !”
After a long time, Li Gang may have realized that these topics were too heavy. He stood up and looked at the clock and said half-jokingly.
Li Zexuan said with embarrassment: "Sir, what are you talking about~! I am not the kind of rich man who is spoiled and can't bear hardships. I even ate wild vegetables with my master in the mountains~! Being able to eat at the same table with you is You can even eat pickled pickled vegetables~!"
Li Gang waved his hand angrily: "Go, go! I didn't cook for you here, so you can go home and eat by yourself! Oh, by the way, two of my friends will come to Chang'an in the next two days, and you will come too then. Let’s meet~!”
Li Zexuan was still depressed, but his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the second half of the sentence, and he hurriedly asked: "Sir, who are your two friends~?"
"You will know in two days, but you don't have to worry. They are all the same as me, they have easy-going temperaments, and they will definitely be willing to stay in your academy~!"
