Mozi was martyred, and the whole country of Zhao mourned, and all the countries in the world were even more shocked.
Hundreds of disciples were even more worried. In the past, there was still Mozi competing with Yang Zhu Academy. Now, what should we do? Will all the talk in the world leave Yang Zhu Academy
In the state of Wei.
King Wei and Pang Juan stood together, listening to the news from Zhao.
"Your Majesty, the Qi army was all scared away when I came back. They just want to stop me from sending troops to Zhao and surround Wei to save Zhao!" Pang Juan said depressedly.
"I know, but what if they attack the palace?" King Wei glared at Pang Juan.
"Yes!" Pang Juan immediately nodded and sighed.
Sun Bin was sure that he would come back, so he surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao.
"If I had known earlier, I would have killed Sun Bin directly, and there would have been no torture!" Pang Juan was depressed.
"That Yang Zhu is really powerful. In the past, Yang Zhu and Mozi's words filled the world. Now, Mozi is dead and the Mo family is finished!" King Wei said with a complicated expression.
"Isn't this great? Many officials in the Wei Kingdom are from Yang Zhu Academy. It's time for our Wei Kingdom to prosper!" Pang Juan said with a smile.
"But… !"
"My lord, what are you worried about?"
"But the disciples of Yang Zhu Academy came to our Wei State as officials, but they asked me to rule by doing nothing!" King Wei frowned.
"Taoist thought governs by doing nothing. Laozi, the sage, uses the rule of inaction to organize the world. This is the supreme principle of heaven and earth. This is the way of the sages. This is the foundation of the great governance of the Wei State. Your Majesty, it is a good thing to have Yang Zhuxue Palace to assist you. Ah!" Pang Juan advised.
The King of Wei looked at Pang Juan and sighed slightly: "They advised me not to treat him, but the result is that they want to treat it themselves. This is equivalent to asking me not to take care of it and giving them the power to take care of it. If they take care of it, then what is the use of me, the King of Wei?"
"My King, you are thinking too much!" Pang Juan looked slightly embarrassed.
----------
Qin State, Xianyang, above the imperial court!
"Your Majesty, Mozi is dead, and the world's theory will become a family tradition in Yang Zhu Academy, but it is not a good thing!" An official frowned.
"Master Wang, please be patient. It's not as exaggerated as you think!" Another civil servant on the side said with a smile.
"Zhang Yi? Master Zhang? This time you went to the Wei State and destroyed the Wei State's unification. It was a great achievement. However, weren't you finally squeezed out by the Yang Zhu Academy officials of the Wei State?" the previous official frowned.
"Hahaha, you are wrong. I was not squeezed out by them, but I have completed my mission and retired with great achievements!" Zhang Yi shook his head.
"But you have also seen that Yang Zhu Academy used the Wei State as a springboard to make trouble for our Qin State many times. In the past, the Mohists and Yang Zhu Academy restrained each other, which was beneficial to our Qin State. Of course, our Qin State is not afraid of Yang Zhu Academy, but , Now that the Yangzhu Academy is the dominant one, and Taoism is the number one theory in the world, it will definitely harass our Qin country!" The official frowned.
"No, Yang Zhu's words will not conquer the world! Taoism is even less likely to be the best theory in the world!" Zhang Yi said confidently.
"Why?" the official asked puzzled.
"Confucianism advocates rule by etiquette. Mohism advocates rule by man. Legalism advocates rule by law. Taoism advocates rule by inaction! These are the four major schools of governance in the world!" Zhang Yi said solemnly.
"Not bad!" The official nodded.
Although Zhang Yi calls himself a political strategist, he also understands that these four are the most accepted in the world.
"In today's world, rituals and music have collapsed, and wars are everywhere! Therefore, Confucianism, which is famous for its rule of etiquette, cannot have immediate results and cannot be adopted by the world. Therefore, Confucian disciples are considered smart and avoid it!" Zhang Yi explained.
"I didn't say Confucianism! Since Confucianism remains silent, it will naturally not affect Taoism in Yang Zhu Academy!" the official said.
"The rule of law is the most respected by our country of Qin. It can affect our country of Qin, but it cannot affect the world! Those who rule by law must rule by law. Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people. Do all countries dare? Therefore, it is impossible for nobles from all countries to put a yoke on themselves. Yes, only our country of Qin, with its great ambitions, can create peace for all ages!" Zhang Yi said solemnly.
"Our country of Qin governs the country according to law, which is naturally not comparable to other countries. But, you also said that Legalism, only our country of Qin has the soil to survive! But in the world, I am not the only one who goes to Qin!" The official argued again.
"I know that in all countries in the world, the most popular ones are actually Mohism and Taoism, because Mohism is rule by man, while Taoism is rule by inaction. Careers like great power, so rule by man is the most popular, and kings and nobles of all countries prefer it. With great power in hand, they prefer to use power as they please. This is the charm of Mohism! Taoism governs by doing nothing, which is even better for some incompetent and motivated kings and nobles. I don’t need to do anything, the country will take care of itself. You are powerful! Just follow the way of heaven! Hahahaha!" Zhang Yi laughed.
"Master Zhang, have you belittled Mohism and Taoism too much?" Some officials frowned.
After all, although the Qin State was governed by law, various schools of thought were still allowed to exist in the court. Otherwise, the Sifang Pavilion would not have been established to invite scholars from all over the world to preach.
"Haha, yes, I am speaking one-sidedly. Each school of thought has its own essence. But don't you think about it, why did the learning of Yang Zhu and Mozi dominate the world in the past? Why them? Only Yang Zhu and Mozi Is the military force strong? No, that’s what I just said. The kings and nobles of various countries do not need to understand too deep thoughts. They only need the right to do whatever they want. As long as they don’t do much, the country will naturally become strong. They only need these and are stupid. , So what if you are incompetent? Just have rights, and the country will be strong without your own efforts, that’s fine!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"The kings and nobles of various countries like the theories of Yang Zhu and Mozi, so their theories will be popular in the world. But they are useless in the Qin State. No matter what theory comes to the Qin State, it will be crawled by me, hahaha!" Wu An! Jun said with a smile.
Zhang Yi nodded: "So, the monarchs of various countries have not studied Mohism and Taoism in depth. They only care about the superficial surface and only accept what they want. Therefore, I conclude that the world will belong to me, the Qin Dynasty, sooner or later!"
"Master Zhang, you have gone off topic. What we are talking about is that now that Mozi is dead, the Yang Zhu Academy will become the dominant family, which is harmful to our Qin country!" the previous official said.
"No, I didn't go off topic. It's because you didn't listen carefully! Mozi's teachings are all over the world. Listen carefully, it's Mozi's teachings that are all over the world. Mozi is dead, but Mohist's teachings are still there. The kings and nobles of all countries, Will you give up your right to do whatever you want because of Mozi's death?" Zhang Yi smiled.
"This...?" The official was stunned.
"No, no, the right to do whatever you want will make people addicted. The nobles of various countries are just using Mohist theory to fool the people. They don't need the deep essence of Mohist theory. What they want is the superficial rule of man. Even if Mozi dies, so what? The nobles of various countries will still respect Mohism, because the surface of Mohist theory can help them continue to fool the people. Therefore, Mohist theory will not be completely suppressed by Taoism, and it may even be because of Mozi's death. , more prosperous!" Zhang Yi confidently said.
"No, it's impossible, right? Can the Mo family be more prosperous?" Several officials said in shock.
"Mozi can still restrain the Mohist disciples when he is alive. If Mozi dies, who will restrain them? If he colludes with the nobles of various countries, the evil-minded people will do whatever they want! Do you believe it or not?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Do whatever you want more?"
"The right to do whatever you want will stimulate the Mohist family to divide into several factions. Although they will not become one, no one can destroy them. It is impossible for the Taoists to dominate one family!" Zhang Yi said confidently.
"Can… !"
"The Mohist family will not be destroyed. Let's talk about Taoism again. Oh, on the surface, the Taoist family is indeed dominant, but in fact, what about internally? Yang Zhu has lost Mozi as his enemy, but he is not alone, but there will be new ones. An enemy appears, and although I don’t know who this enemy is, I can tell from the general trend that it should be from within!" Zhang Yi said solemnly.
"Why?"
"It's easier to understand with my vertical and horizontal skills. For example, in a country, two princes are competing for the throne, one is Prince Dao and the other is Prince Mo. When competing for the throne, various officials from Prince Dao's faction are We are united in our will and share the same hatred, but after Prince Mo’s faction was defeated and Prince Dao ascended the throne, Prince Dao’s faction ruled the world. Do you think many officials of Prince Dao’s faction will be of the same mind again?” Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Huh? You mean, there will be civil strife within the Taoist family?" the official asked in surprise.
"Taoism advocates governing by inaction. Lao Tzu's realm is indeed high, but Yang Zhu's thoughts are somewhat contrary. Yang Zhu has more of a desire for power. Does Yang Zhu's theory of unifying the world still govern by inaction?" Zhang Yi said with a smile. .
"this… !"
"Yang Zhu's thought has already diverged from Taoism's rule of inaction. One theory has two branches of thought, leading to the final result of only one, separation of schools!" Zhang Yi said solemnly.
"No way. Do you mean that the Taoist family will be in chaos and fall apart?" the official asked in surprise.
"The Mohist school will not die, and the Taoist school will not dominate the world. Yang Zhu lost an enemy Mozi, but he ushered in many new scholars and enemies of the Mohist school. At the same time, he also had to face the civil strife of different Taoist thinkers!" Zhang Yi said confidently! .
"Originally Yang Zhu only had one enemy, Mozi, but when Mozi died, Yang Zhu attracted a group of enemies?" Several officials asked in shock.
"Yes, so, the death of Mozi will only be worse for Yang Zhu! What are you worried about? Are you worried that he will use his doctrines and ideas to invade our country of Qin? Hahaha, don't worry about it. He suddenly has a lot more. Thinking of an enemy, if he wants to unite all countries now, it will be countless times more difficult than before! As for his individual strength, haha, how could I, the Qin Dynasty, have ever been afraid of it?" Zhang Yi said confidently.
"Master Zhang, every word is exquisite, I admire you!" Immediately, many officials suddenly saluted Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi saluted King Qin who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Although he was debating with the officials, it was still a kind of prelude to the confrontation.
"In the Ghost Valley, there is indeed an astonishing talent!" King Qin praised calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yi immediately smiled and bowed.
----------
Yang Zhu Academy.
"Cough cough cough cough!" Yang Zhu coughed.
Obviously, before Mozi died, he blew himself up, causing serious injuries to Yang Zhu.
But no matter how severe Yang Zhu's injury was, he seemed to have no intention of healing at this moment, staring at the Fuxue Daozu in front of him.
"The future? Are you from the future? Zhuang Zhou? Bian Que? Xiang Liqin? Xiang Fuzi? The future?" A sinister look flashed in the eyes of Saint Yang Zhu.
"Yes, yes...!" Chuixue Daozu looked at Yang Zhu in fear.
Yang Zhu looked at the calculations all over the place, and a sense of urgency flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that my Bagua deduction is still far from perfect. I can only calculate the current world, not the past, present, and future! Zhouyi? Zhouyi, haven't you found it yet? We must find out that rat from Shengjiutian! He is counting on me. Did you hide because you were looking for him?" Anxiety flashed in Yang Zhu's eyes.
