Non-offensive means opposing all unjust wars. Mozi supports defensive wars. Because he himself has led people to participate in several wars to help people defend the city.
In Mozi's view, unjust war is extremely shameful.
Of course, a war started because of different ideas is just.
Or, some subordinates are rebelling, and going to quell the rebellion can be considered a form of justice.
But if it is a war waged for desire, it is extremely shameful, and we are opposed to all such wars!
Most of the defensive battles were initiated by the opponent. Therefore, during the Warring States Period, Mozi often led the Mohist disciples to help the defenders defend the city.
At that time, they will use a lot of knowledge they have learned and use Mohist mechanisms to help everyone defend the city.
Shangxian: Advocate for talented people.
As the name suggests, this article advocates virtuous people. Talented people should be respected by the Mohists.
And they should also learn from those capable people.
Shang Tong: God "selects those who praise the virtuous, sage, wisdom and eloquence in the world and establishes them as the Son of Heaven." He establishes them as the three princes and princes of all countries, as well as the generals, officials and village chiefs. From bottom to top, all members of society are the same as the Son of Heaven. "Righteousness"; and "If the superiors have made mistakes, they should be punished."
The wishes of the members of society are conveyed at all levels, and officials at and below the common people at all levels act in accordance with the common "righteousness", thereby achieving "rule of the world."
This is actually Mozi’s view on the governance of the world.
Frugality: The emperor saves the people's resources.
I hope the emperor will not be too extravagant and wasteful, such as building so-called palaces everywhere.
This kind of practice is a waste of people's energy and people's livelihood, but if it is reclaiming wasteland or developing canals, it naturally cannot be counted among them.
Tianzhi: A form of expression put forward to realize the social ideal of "loving each other and benefiting each other".
"Heaven" has the will to reward good and punish evil. "Heaven's Will" regulates and restricts people's thoughts and behaviors. "Heaven's Will" is the source of law. "Heaven's Will" is the best law. The core of "Heaven's Will" is "Heaven's Will" Love each other and benefit each other." The purpose of Mo Zhai's admiration of "Heaven's Will" is to emphasize the fairness and equality of the law.
In fact, this is the admiration for the rule of the Three Emperors in ancient times.
The highest form of governance is to respect the way of heaven and govern.
That was the era of the Three Emperors in ancient times.
Of course, this era has long passed.
The Mohists never just talked about how to govern the country, but actually helped generations of people and kings.
They will not only help some weak and bullied countries to defend their cities, but also help some common people.
Mohist's organ skills are famous all over the world, no one knows about them, and no one knows about them.
In the State of Lu, there was a Gongshu Ban named Jiangzu. Because he was in the State of Lu, he was respectfully called Lu Ban.
Lu Ban's mechanical skills were at the pinnacle, but he liked to help the king make siege equipment.
Lu Ban even claimed that with the siege equipment he invented, there would be no city that could not be conquered.
Later, after Mozi found out about it, he personally competed with Luban in front of a king.
In this competition, Luban competed nine times and lost nine times.
Gongshu Ban, known as the ancestor of craftsmen in the world, actually lost nine out of nine battles against Mozi.
However, Mozi did not say how superb his skills were, but said that he hooked with love and rejected with respect, and finally gave Lu Ban an education.
It was also after this incident that Luban stopped inventing siege equipment, and instead turned to inventing some civilian products.
Like the Mohists, they all began to invent some daily necessities for ordinary people.
Farm tools such as hoes are used by people in their daily lives.
This can also be seen that the Mohists' thoughts are extremely high, and it is not just thoughts, they also really devoted their lives to benefit the people.
These are the children of the Moh family.
Therefore, the power of the Mohist family was extremely huge.
Although the mortal world is now unified and some of the Mohist ideas are no longer suitable, the Mohist school is still active among the general public.
In addition to the Mo family, there are still many families.
Take Legalism for example. The representatives of Legalism are Guan Zhong and Shang Yang. The most famous ones are not only that, but Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, is one of the representatives of Legalism.
In this way, we can also see the power of Legalism today.
There is also the Yin-Yang family. The representative of the Yin-Yang family is Zou Yan, also known as Zou Zi.
There are also famous strategists, farmers, miscellaneous strategists, strategists, military strategists, doctors, etc.
The representatives among these great people all subsequently became Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
This is one of the benefits of having a strong sect doctrine.
Among them, the most powerful ones are Confucianism, Taoism and Mohism. These three schools are one of the most powerful schools among hundreds of schools of thought.
The remaining ones are similar to the Yin Yang family, political strategists, military strategists, etc. These are actually not small in power.
When powerful Hunyuan masters continue to appear among hundreds of schools of thought, it is destined that these theories will be carried forward one by one and spread throughout the ages.
Among them, Confucius, Zhuangzi, and Mozi are the leaders, and they are the leaders of hundreds of schools of thought.
…
In heaven.
When all the representatives of various schools of thought came to the heaven, Ying Zheng even received them in person.
Ying Zheng not only unified the country geographically, but also unified it culturally.
Although the unification of the former is also a great achievement, it is not Ying Zheng's greatest achievement.
His true greatest achievement was cultural unification.
This cultural unification is the complete integration of the world into one country, instead of the previous feudal system of many countries and cultures.
The entire Qin Empire unified its writing system, unified currency, etc. This meant that all cultures were unified.
Of course, Ying Zheng did not say that he wanted to unify his thoughts.
In Ying Zheng's view, a country can have many ideas, but it cannot have many cultures.
We must be unified culturally, but we can be liberalized ideologically.
This thought is the thinking of hundreds of schools of thought.
Each family has its own attitude towards the world and its own different views.
This is thought.
All in all, although these various schools of thought have very different ideas, they all achieve the same goal through different paths.
That is to benefit this country and this society.
In Ying Zheng's view, a country cannot imprison its thoughts. Only through constant ideological collision can a more brilliant country be born.
Therefore, Ying Zheng respects these people more.
When they entered the heaven, Ying Zheng ran over to meet them personally.
"Everyone, why are you here in heaven?" Ying Zheng looked at the great thinkers in front of him with a majestic look.
In a sense, Ying Zheng still admires them very much.
At the beginning, although these people were not mortals, but their cultivation was not high, they were willing to devote their whole lives to their own doctrines, and they continued to work for their own ideas.
Therefore, from this aspect, these people are worthy of respect and admiration.
"Your Majesty, now that your Majesty is about to ascend the throne as the Emperor of Heaven, we naturally want to promote our doctrine to your Majesty and hope that your Majesty can use it widely..."
Confucius walked out of the queue, saluted Ying Zheng, and said with respect.
To him, Ying Zheng was also an emperor worthy of his utmost respect.
He looked through history and found that no human being in the mortal world could compare with this kind of great man. Only the legendary Three Emperors of the Ancient World could rival him.
This is Ying Zheng, this is the First Emperor.
Although his so-called virtues surpassing the Three Emperors are a bit too much...
But it is a real fact that he surpassed the Five Emperors!
Therefore, it is not a big deal to use this emperor's term.
Even the current Human Emperor Xuanyuan is about to announce his abdication and pass the position of Human Emperor to Ying Zheng.
When Ying Zheng becomes the Human Emperor and is crowned the Heavenly Emperor, from then on, the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor will become one.
The human race no longer has an emperor, but the human race has its own emperor!
This kind of power is beyond the understanding and imagination of all other races except the demon race.
Although Di Jun treats everything extremely fairly, the demon race still has benefits that other races can hardly imagine.
For example, the thirty-sixth level of Heaven includes an unknown number of races among the demon clan.
There are many races, all living in heaven.
Those demon clans all didn’t know how happy they were in their hearts.
For them, this is a godsend!
Not only that, there is also the advantage of serving as an official in heaven. Most of the officials are selected from the demon clan.
Although some official positions have been given to other races and forces, where are there such a number of monsters?
A large number of grassroots officials and backbone officials belong to the demon clan!
As for other forces, they either have some names or are given some high-level positions.
Of course, this benefit now also applies to the human race.
Because the human race won and the demon race lost.
However, the Monster Clan has not suffered any major purges. After all, they are not fighting for anything.
Of course, it is also true that there is a fire.
"Your theories were adapted to the mortal world in the past. Today, I am the administrator of the entire prehistoric world. Are your theories still applicable?"
Ying Zheng said indifferently, his tone was neither sad nor happy, and it was hard to tell what he had in mind.
In fact, he was not opposed to using these people's teachings to govern the world.
But after all, that is a theory for the mortal world, not today's prehistoric times.
The ancient world was so vast that there were countless mortal realms!
Therefore, what is applicable to Dan Nian in the mortal world may not be applicable in today's prehistoric times.
What's more, the human race is the largest in the mortal world, and although the human race is the most powerful in the prehistoric era, the other forces cannot be underestimated.
There are countless other races, and those races may not agree with these so-called schools of thought.
Therefore, it is actually more difficult to apply these theories.
As soon as Ying Zheng said these words, the eyes of the disciples below suddenly lit up.
What this means is that if they can apply it, then their doctrine can be adopted!
"Your Majesty, all our theories can be used universally. If your Majesty adopts them, they can be modified according to the time and place. With a little repair, they will definitely help your Majesty stabilize the ancient times."
Mozi smiled slightly and said to Ying Zheng above.
According to their Mohist ideology, no matter who the other party is, it is always beneficial to the people. I believe that those races will not reject this matter.
Therefore, Mozi was extremely confident.
At this time, Confucius, who was tall and muscular, also said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, my Confucianism will surely appease the world and bring peace to the subjects. If your Majesty can adopt it, it will be a blessing to all the souls in the world, and it will also be your Majesty's blessing." fortunate."
"Your Majesty, our Yin and Yang family respects the five elements of heaven, earth, and the five elements..." Zou Zi strode out and saluted Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, my famous master can help Heaven to denounce disloyal ministers..."
"Your Majesty, my advisor will definitely help Heaven clean up the world..."
"Your Majesty, our military strategists can also help greatly increase the combat power of the heavenly army..."
"Your Majesty, my family of doctors can benefit all races in the world..."
"Your Majesty, my farm can help all people..."
"Your Majesty, my miscellaneous family..."
"Your Majesty, my family..."
All the disciples came forward and told Ying Zheng the benefits of adopting their own theories.
Only Zhuangzi, a Taoist, remained silent and watched all of this quietly.
For him, let nature take its course.
No matter what, you can take your time.
It would be best if Ying Zheng could adopt his theory.
But if the other party doesn't adopt it, then it won't be adopted.
Use it if you like.
Taoism emphasizes tranquility and inaction.
Taoist Liezi and Zhuangzi did not say a word, which successfully attracted Ying Zheng's attention.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhuangzi and Liezi with curiosity and asked: "All the disciples have told me about the benefits of trusting them and how they can help me govern the world. Why don't you two say anything?"
"If your majesty believes in Taoism, Taoism will naturally help your majesty to govern the world. If your majesty does not believe in Taoism, what use will it be even if the two of us are as big as a river?" Zhuangzi smiled slightly, bowed to Ying Zheng and said.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You Taoists are quite interesting."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Zhuangzi smiled lightly and said with satisfaction.
At this time, several others admired Zhuangzi.
At least, they couldn't say a word when facing Ying Zheng.
At this time, Gongsun Long, a famous master, sarcastically said: "Zhuangzi and Liezi treated them so indifferently, why do they follow us to this heaven again today?"
When Zhuangzi heard this, he smiled lightly and dismissed it.
In his opinion, this group of famous people are just guys who like to play sophistry, and they can't do anything except talk.
Talking to these people will only add trouble to yourself. Ignoring them is the best way to deal with them.
However, Liezi retorted: "Although we are indifferent, if His Majesty has some interest in Taoism, we can naturally answer it for Your Majesty."
