Mo Di, who was sitting on his knees in the storage room, suddenly laughed and said to Luo Huaichen, "Mo family's ideas are going to flourish."
Luo Huaichen smiled and said: "Yes, Big Master, that's why I asked you to bring the Mo family to Luo Country. This is the paradise of the Mo family.
Your thoughts are so magnificent, people in the world are in such hardship, and everyone is looking forward to your appearance. "
Mo Zhai added: "Marquis Luo said that Mohists will die. Even if Mohist thought flourishes, it cannot avoid the fate of extinction."
Luo Huaichen still smiled and said: "Yes and no, the greatness of universal love cannot be realized now. Perhaps the complete Mohist family will disappear, but the spirit, classics, and culture of the Mohist family will be passed down forever.
Mohist technology will transform the world, Mohist thought will make people smart and allow great wisdom to continue. This is one of the meanings of Luo's existence.
Until the sun and moon collapse and time ends.
One day, the idea of universal love will return to the world, and world unity will definitely come. "
The short conversation between Luo Chang and Mo Zhai seemed to be just Luo Chang trying to persuade Mo Zhai, and then Mo Zhai strengthened his will.
But just like the dialogue between Laozi and Confucius and the dialogue between Luo Ci and Confucius in the past, Confucianism began to flourish since then.
Mo Zhai understood that Luo Chang had clearly told him that Luo liked Mohist thought very much and was ready to promote it throughout the world.
Even if the monarchs of various countries do not accept it for the time being, the Luo Kingdom has always supported the existence of Mohists, just like many Confucian students in the academy.
While Mo Zhai stayed in the storage room to perfect Mohist theory, the Mohists soon discovered that the development speed of Mohist thought was much faster than imagined.
The Mohist theory places great emphasis on logical reasoning, and the only ones with extremely weak logical reasoning are Tianzhi and Minggui, but these two articles were automatically brought to King Su in the Luo Kingdom.
The Confucian and Mohist families soon began a "friendly" discussion, arguing three times a day, and then some contradictory aspects of the Mohist theory were picked out.
For example, it emphasizes people's subjective initiative, but later says that everything about people is determined by God, and people have no right to choose.
The Luo Kingdom Office pays a lot of attention to the Mohists, but it does not focus on those political ideas. For the Office, these are the most indispensable things.
In particular, the Mohist political thought of universal love and non-aggression was an extremely idealized political thought. Although Luo Guogong admired it, it did not recognize it.
"The greatest treasures of the Mohist family are the art of reasoning and the skill of craftsmanship, especially the skill of craftsmanship. If Luo can continue to refine it, he can continue to create new weapons.
The reason why Zhuxia defeated the barbarians was not only because Zhuxia was more united, but also because Zhuxia had a more advanced civilization.
When bronze ware first appeared, the barbarians were still able to fight against the Zhuxia. However, as the smelting technology of bronze ware became more mature, the barbarians became increasingly vulnerable.
This is the role of weapons. If the Luo family can always maintain advanced weapons, they can always lead the progress of Zhu Xia and maintain the survival of the family. "
In the Luo Kingdom Academy, the Confucian students no longer debated with the Mohists, and were replaced by Taoist scholars, because the Confucian and Mohist families discovered that the conflict between the two sides was not fundamental after they quarreled.
However, Taoism and Mohism have fundamental conflicts with their theories. Most of Mohism's theories are based on the universal love of nature, and the entire Mohist theoretical system is derived from this.
But Taoism simply says four words, "Heaven and earth are unkind!"
It directly defeated the foundation of Mohist theory, and all subsequent inferences became castles in the air.
So Yang Sheng asked Mo Zhai, who was reading the old and new editions of the Tao Te Ching in the keeper's room, and said with a smile: "I am in the Luo Kingdom, but I have forgotten King Su. The Mohist debate skills are really useless."
Yang Sheng was full of confidence and said: "In the past, when I preached in the academy, King Su was like the sky. Could it be that King Su was also unkind?
For eight hundred years, the monarchs of the Luo Kingdom respected the principles of King Su, and were all benevolent. This led to the prosperity of the Luo Kingdom. The people of many other countries, only the Luo Kingdom could live and work in peace and contentment.
If King Su was unkind and the monarch of the Luo Kingdom had just sat back and watched the destruction of his people and the fall of his country, would the current situation still exist? "
The Taoist disciple said another four words, "The Luo family is not king!"
"Mr. Yang Sheng, Mohist theory seems to put King Su and Heaven together, but please know that the King is the Son of Heaven, the son of Heaven, not the son of King Su. King Su is supreme and holy, but his love is limited.
Not to mention the monarchs of other countries, after the royal family moved eastward, even the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, King Su, was unwilling to pay attention. As long as he did not collude with the barbarians, King Su would only spread his glory in the Luo Kingdom.
Do you want to use King Su's benevolence to balance those monarchs who don't love everyone?
I'm afraid Su Wang is not willing. "
"boom!"
In the entire academy, both Confucian scholars and Mohists were shocked to the spot by these four simple words, followed immediately by countless calls and questions.
The Luo family is not king!
This is the response of Taoist scholars to Mohists. Su Wang is like the sky, but Su Wang is not the sky.
Even if it is as praised in the poem, King Su's spirit is really in the sky, King Su is benevolent, King Su rewards good and punishes evil, but King Su's descendants are not kings.
Will King Su always interfere in human affairs?
For eight hundred years, King Su has protected Bangzhou's destiny, but this protection has become weaker and weaker as time goes by.
Who can forget the great battle between the Xia and Zhou Luo?
It is the consensus of everyone in the world that Bangzhou's destiny is on the verge of collapse, but no one knows yet where the destiny will fall.
But not in Luo country!
Taoists believe that they have simply stated a truth, but this natural truth has always been ignored by people.
But it was extremely shocking to the Mohists, because these Mohists suddenly discovered that as long as Luo became king, the ideals of the Mohists could be realized.
But Luo Shi is not king.
King Wu once wanted to pass the throne to King Su, but King Su said that he had no destiny and could not be king. All kings of Luo Kingdom, regardless of their royal status, were loyal to the king, and everyone in the world regarded this as loyalty.
But Luo Guo didn't think it was simple loyalty. King Wu accepted the order from heaven, and King Su took over the destiny from King Wu, so he protected Bang Zhou.
Before Yang Sheng could speak, a Mohist lost his voice and said: "Does King Su not love the people of Zhuxia?
If King Su does not pay attention to the human world, who will make the monarch cautious? "
At this time, the Confucian scholars came back to their senses and said to themselves: "The Taoists usually look peaceful and quiet, but they are aggressive when they make a move. They usually mock the benevolence of the Confucians, but now they did not expect to directly attack the Mohists. "
But of course this opportunity to add insult to injury should not be missed, "Of course it is with rituals, King Su has left wisdom enough for the world to prosper for tens of thousands of years.
King Su hopes that people can constantly strive for self-improvement, instead of praying to him for everything. The foolish monarch will drive him away, and the evil ministers will kill him. "
…
Any stable regime is composed of many political logics that conform to the current era. If the regime has too many illogical aspects, it will present a turbulent political situation. After the end of the pre-Qin era, "the Luo family is not king" " has become the underlying logic of politics. During the millennia of ancient and medieval times, when there was doubt about the Luo family's lack of authority, politics would always gradually move toward chaos. ——"Examination of the Logic of Political Operations"
