"But."
Xu Wanrong frowned, "The supplies are really not enough."
Of course she understands the principle of winning people's hearts, otherwise she wouldn't be able to become the White Lotus Saint.
But you have to consider both sides of everything. You can't just let people eat for a few days at first, and then just drink the northwest wind, right?
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
How can a saint be so easy to be a saint, and a golden body cannot be established just by thinking about it.
Now, in the name of the Mohist family and Mozi, we have begun to recruit victims. If we do well, it will be the icing on the cake. If we do poorly, we will dig our own graves. The reputation that the Mohist family has worked so hard to accumulate for so many years will be greatly affected.
It's not that she doesn't support Wang Mang or doesn't trust Gu Dan, but the reality is here. Can people only eat people's hearts?
After Mozi left, the people in the Mo family went crazy and seemed to follow Moqiu's road to the dark side. Unexpectedly, even Wang Mang had already had this trend.
Wang Mang frowned deeply, but he was extremely firm and unquestionable, "Even if we only consider the reality, the Mohist family is the hope for many people in disasters. It's just that Mozi's requirements for Mohists were too strict in the past, which led to many people only thinking It's hard to live up to the desire.
Now that we have stood up, not only should we act in accordance with the ten righteousness standards of Mohism, we must also let the people see our differences.
Once the foundation is not laid, no matter how much you say, it will just be rhetoric, and the appeal of the Mohist family will be greatly reduced! "
After a pause, Wang Mang changed his tone and said, "And don't forget one thing."
"What?"
Xu Wanrong was stunned. Could it be that there were some divine weapons that she hadn't thought of?
"Big Moon is dead."
Wang Mang said in a deep voice.
Xu Wanrong naturally knew this news, but why did Wang Mang suddenly mention this?
She glanced over with doubtful eyes, and Wang Mang just looked at her quietly without speaking.
In an instant, Xu Wanrong seemed to understand something. Her delicate body trembled and she felt a little unbelievable. The doubts in her heart were solved, but more questions followed.
Big Moon - Let's still call this place Big Moon. Big Moon is indeed dead, and the royal family was wiped out by the White Lotus Cult.
And looking at Pingzi's attitude towards Mr. Gu, there is definitely no problem with Mr. Gu's strength. The only difference is how powerful he is.
In other words, as long as Gu Dan is willing to deal with the White Lotus leader, Dayue will have the final say.
It doesn't matter what the new country is called. What's important is that Big Moon at this time really needs a new country to cover the previous pain of digging bones.
As a person who firmly stands on Gu Dan's side, he knows very clearly that Gu Dan had no intention of becoming king and hegemony before, and he did not even form a real team.
If - if Mr. Gu had not wanted to ascend the Dragon Pavilion, he would have chosen the most satisfactory person to be the emperor.
From the moment Mr. Gu left, the screening had already begun.
But she didn't understand.
Xu Wanrong suddenly felt that her lips were a little dry. After working hard for more than ten days, she had barely drank any water. At this time, she gently licked her lips with the tip of her tongue. It was astringent, with a little salty taste mixed with blood. smell.
This feeling is not good, but it makes people feel more awake and real.
If this disaster relief event is regarded as a competition, and Mr. Gu personally ordered Wang Mang before leaving, does it mean that Mr. Gu likes him more?
Xu Wanrong suddenly felt a little happy in her heart, and then felt a huge fear.
Emperor, emperor!
Can that position really be given up?
Even if they really give in, can they do it well?
Xu Wanrong suddenly understood why Wang Mang was so insistent.
You have to consider whether this is your only opportunity in this life.
In order to ascend to the Dragon Pavilion, Huang Chao and the White Lotus Leader had worked hard to rebel for so long, and now this fruit was placed in front of them with salivation!
Enough to make people fight for it with all their might.
Xu Wanrong is undoubtedly a smart person. She quickly figured out the key and immediately said: "If you just follow the path of the Mo family, Wang Lang, you will not have any advantage!"
How can future generations surpass Moqiu's path?
Can't we go together to sacrifice our lives for righteousness?
That's just a comparison at most.
And when it comes to following his path, Mo Zhe is not just a decoration.
Not to mention anything else, Na Qin Lisheng had just been promoted to Grandmaster, gathered the Mohists who had followed Mo Qiu, and determined to continue walking along the Ten righteousnesses of the Mohist family.
Where is Wang Mang?
It sounds like he is Mo Qiu's "first disciple", but in fact he is just the first person to join the Mo family martial arts gym. How can he compare to Qin Lisheng, who truly teaches by words and deeds and is more powerful?
Wanting to win Mr. Gu's favor by continuing the old relationship, Qin Lisheng had also stayed in the Gu family courtyard for so many years, and his kindness was not bad.
"The road of Mohism."
There was a slight smile in Wang Mang's bloodshot eyes. He shook his head and said, "That is Mozi's path, not mine. But since you are using Mozi's name, you must do your best to do it the best you can." That’s all.”
"Then what can the prince do?"
Xu Wanrong asked nervously.
She was also a very thoughtful person, but the impact of this incident was so great that it turned her already overthinking mind into a mess.
"I have asked Xia Zhangsi to lead a group of people to kill the big family."
Wang Mang said.
"Xia Zhangsi?!"
Xu Wanrong frowned.
Xia Zhangsi was originally the master of the White Lotus Sect's Mahayana Hall. He once pursued him and offended the two of them miserably, and was finally captured by Mr. Gu.
However, the sudden flood saved his life. He hadn't seen him in the past few days, so he thought he was dead. He never thought that he was sent out by Wang Mang to kill people.
Wang Mang's eyes flashed with danger, and he said coldly: "Let's buy food from those big dogs. If you are willing to sell it, it's okay. If you are not willing, the remnants of White Lotus are roaming around Yuzhou. It is reasonable to kill some people, right?"
It was obvious that he had already made a plan in his mind, and it was not a temporary idea.
Xu Wanrong was about to clap her hands and applaud, but immediately paused and said with some hesitation: "Of course this is a good idea. But is this approach unethical?"
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the White Lotus Saint, who also killed Yingye, could say the words "not very moral" in her mouth.
Wang Mang knew in his heart that the reason why Xu Wanrong said this was because he was afraid that if he was caught, his name would be stained and he would be 'lost'.
After all, Mozi is too dazzling. Now that he has raised the banner of Mohism, he will inevitably be picky about his personal style and strive to use Mozi as a benchmark.
And this benchmark is too powerful, and it will make people look small if it is set against it. If there are more bad deeds, I am afraid it will not be recognized.
"I haven't even written a word about it. Besides, for things like morality, it doesn't matter what you say, only what others believe. Of course there are real born saints like Mozi in this world, and the word "morality" is the embodiment of it. I do say Admired in my heart.
But there is only one Mozi, and there are people like me who just do things. As long as the means are useful, since we are not saints, we shouldn't get a golden body for ourselves.
If you go up there just pretending, you'll have to come down pissed off, so why bother? "
Wang Mang shrugged slightly, "This is the best way I can think of. It will not lose the name of the Mohist family, but it can also temporarily solve the urgent need. You can't do everything just for the name. What should be done must also be done."
"I think too much."
Xu Wanrong rubbed her temples, "Obviously the disaster has not been eliminated yet, so I started thinking about what is there and what is not."
"Care leads to chaos."
Wang Mang gently tucked Xu Wanrong's scattered hair back at the ends, "You have been suffering these days, go and have a good rest."
"I can still"
"For our children."
Wang Mang stretched out his index finger, gently touched Xu Wanrong's lips, and stopped his unsaid words, "Go and rest."
Xu Wanrong looked at Wang Mang infatuatedly. Her man could not be said to be very handsome in appearance, but when everything happened, he always seemed calm and reliable.
The two people's heads began to move closer unconsciously.
"cough."
A slight cough sounded beside him.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice sounded one after another.
"Did I come at the wrong time?"
Gu Dan crossed his arms in front of him, looked at the pair of mandarin ducks in front of him who were deeply in love, and said slightly narrowly.
"Brother Gu Gu?!"
Wang Mang was startled for a moment, and then the calm and reliable look that was full of masculinity all retreated, and he touched his rough cheeks with some embarrassment, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Mr. Gu!"
Xu Wanrong was also shocked. Gu Dan came back without knowing when. Her face turned red and she wanted to bury her head in the ground.
"Go and rest."
Gu Dan waved his hand to her, and a burst of strong vitality entered his body, nourishing the body that was already quite tired. "You should rest well when you are pregnant. It is not yet time for pregnant women to work hard."
"yes."
Xu Wanrong didn't dare to stay for a moment and ran away as fast as she could.
Only Wang Mang stood there, not knowing what to say.
For example, when did Brother Gu come back?
How much did Brother Gu hear about what he and Xu Wanrong talked about?
Although he had never wanted to hide it, speaking it himself and being caught and heard were two completely different concepts!
Until Gu Dan walked up to him and patted his shoulder, his voice was as steady and calm as ever.
"well done."
Gu Dan said.
"Brother Gu!"
Wang Mang then raised his head, feeling a little happy.
Gu Dan had obviously heard their discussion and said straight to the point: "There is no problem in practicing virtue as a human being. This is a good thing. But if you only cultivate virtue for a country, there will be problems.
A country is not an individual, but a community of all its people. Everyone gathers together to live a better life. The emperor is not an extraordinary being. The mission of a person in that position is to do his best to ensure the interests of the vast majority of the people of a country.
The function of the country itself is to 'make up for the excess losses and make up for the deficiencies', so that everyone can continue to live a better life, rather than taking the benefit of all people. Emperor Zongming is a lesson learned from the past. "
Gu Dan can only talk about these concepts in as simple a way as possible so that these things are not difficult to understand.
Wang Mang listened carefully, nodded, and was not in a hurry to express his opinions.
"Nothing is perfect. It is normal to have gains and losses. Before doing something, you must have a shot in mind and understand what you are doing, rather than doing something just for the sake of doing something."
After a pause, Gu Dan said: "I'm still here. Whatever you want to do, as long as it's not for selfish desires, you can do it boldly."
"Brother Gu."
Wang Mang discovered that Gu Dan was different from before.
Gu Dan never said such things before, he was more like a spectator, but now, he finally wants to participate.
"Okay, no more gossiping. Dayong's men and horses will come over later to deliver supplies. You don't have to worry about the supplies anymore. Those men and horses will be left to your command first."
Gu Dan said casually.
"oh oh."
Wang Mang nodded, and then realized, "What?!"
"Didn't you hear that clearly?"
"No, it's only been ten days. This?!"
Wang Mang couldn't control the expression on his face.
He was still wondering why Gu Dan came back so soon. He thought he had not set off yet, but he never thought that he had already solved this crucial and top priority!
"The masters of the Four Nations who stayed in Otsuki are all dead, and the war is about to end. Don't be so surprised, I have to go to Daqi again. The alliance of the Four Nations has become a thing of the past. The next days are about cooking the source river that bursts its banks. , and the days of reorganizing Otsuki.”
Gu Dan said with certainty.
In order to rush on the road, Qingpingzi almost died from exhaustion. This time he left Qingpingzi directly in Dayong's palace and asked him to study the bone first, which also saved this guy from staying in Dayue to play. The alchemist's tricks are like making a monster.
As for the emperor's seat, he will definitely not take it.
If Mo Qiu was still here, he would consult Mo Qiu for his opinion, and if Mo Qiu was willing, he would agree.
Mo Qiu was not here, but he had plans in mind.
Wang Mang, Qin Lisheng, and even Gong Shang Guo
If you are trustworthy and able to take charge, there will be no problem.
As for the Mohist path
To be fair, even Gu Dan himself doesn't agree - his disapproval does not mean that he doesn't appreciate it, but that the road is too far.
It's so far beyond the reach of just a few generations.
But it is simply unrealistic to do it before the immortal returns.
The Mohist flag can be raised high, but people must still keep their feet on the ground.
If you want to impose the Mohist's standards on a country before the conditions are met, then the Mohist will not replenish it, and there are only more than a thousand people.
"You stay in Dayue and work hard. I will take care of the outside matters. Where is that boy Xunke? Let him come over. I will take him to Daqi and let him see the world." Gu Dan said.
This time I returned to Dayue from Dayong. Firstly, I was going to Daqi and I was passing by. Secondly, I was just going to take Xunke there.
He had almost watched Xun Ke grow up, and Gu Dan was quite optimistic about this smart little guy who was full of poems and had the same concern for the people of the world as Mo Qiu.
But Xun Ke was still too young and needed more time to settle and experience. He should see more of the world.
"Well, Xunke is comforting a little girl."
Wang Mang said carefully.
Gu Dan: "."
