Section 19 The Past
"The reason for this is in this volume." Wang Yun said that he unfolded "Taiping Qing Lingdao" in front of Cai Ji.
And as the scroll spread out little by little, Cai Ji's eyes gradually changed from initial curiosity to surprise, "This is not the Mo family's post-learning?!" ”
"Good eyesight, Lord!" Wang Yun happily bowed his head and said, "This volume is written by the ink artist in the name of a scholar. ”
The reason why Cai Ji was so interested in "Taiping Qing Lingdao" before was mainly because of the habit of a master's degree in history, and he felt that this book that had been lost in later generations was very precious. Just as at this time, if Hua Tuo announced that he had completed the "Green Capsule Book", Cai Ji would also regard it as a treasure. But the content on the volume of "Taiping Qing Lingdao" in front of him is obviously not the Taoist art of cultivating immortals that Cai Ji imagined before, but the post-Mohist study that combines the content of pills and mechanism techniques. If the truth is as Wang Yun said, half of the Taiping Sutra was compiled by the Mo, which means that the relationship between the Mohists and the Taiping Tao is far closer than Cai Ji imagined. Combined with some of the Mohists' actions in history, Cai Ji has reason to believe that Wang Yun's dedication to "Taiping Qing Lingdao" at this time must have a deep meaning.
Thinking about this, Cai Ji restrained his initial surprise and turned to Wang Yun and asked noncommittally, "Why did the Mo scholar write a book for the Taoist in the name of a scholar?" ”
In the face of Cai Ji's question, Wang Yun said eloquently, "The lord doesn't know that although the Mo family has been intolerable to the imperial court since the Qin period, the Mo family has not disappeared because of this. On the contrary, for hundreds of years, the ink master has secretly formed associations, used the name of the warlock to travel all directions, won the trust of the superior with the art of the elixir mechanism, and implemented the method of the ink master. Over time, it merged with the Five Elements Family, Fangshi, and Immortal Families in various places to form the Taiping Dao. During the reign of Emperor Xi Cheng (51 BC-7 BC), state affairs were sluggish. There is a ancestor Gan Zhong can be praised, and he dedicates "Baoyuan Taiping Sutra" to the Son of Heaven. He said that although the Han Dynasty was at the end of heaven and earth, the sky did not abandon the Han and sent the red sperm to the earth. Help the Han regain his destiny. Who would have thought that Guanglu doctor Liu Xiang would be imprisoned to death on the charge of "fake ghosts and gods to confuse the public". ”
When Cai Ji heard this, he finally confirmed a suspicion in his heart, that is, the core idea of Taiping Dao did not come from Taoism. It is necessary to know that home is the root of China. In terms of qualifications, it is far superior to Confucianism and Legalism, which can be called the art of the emperor and the study of the aristocracy. Imagine that the Taoist who used Huang Lao's technique to be accepted by the rulers and preached "goodness is like water" and "quiet and inaction", how could they encourage the rebellion of the Qianshou under the banner of "To the Peace"? The only explanation is that there is a school of thought that cannot see people as they are, but it is extremely full of the heart of entering the world, and at the same time it is not accepted by the three schools of Taoism, Confucianism, and Law. It seems that only the Mo family faction meets these three conditions.
On the one hand, Wang Yun's introduction here confirms that the core idea of Taiping Dao comes from the Mo family. On the other hand, it also explains some of the reasons why the Mohists are difficult to accept by the rulers. At least in Cai Ji's opinion, a monk like Gan Zhongke didn't understand the emperor's heart at all. Imagine that it is also self-recommended. Legalists ran up and said, "The power system is judged by the monarch, and I have a number of policies to strengthen the country...... and Taoism and Confucianism ran up and said, "Heaven and man are one, and the king is the incarnation of the Red Emperor." I would like to ......" Taiping Dao ran to say, "I am the incarnation of red sperm, to help the ......" so ignorant of current affairs, it is not surprising that he was blacked out by Confucianism. Of course, Cai Ji also knew that Taiping Dao would not give up, otherwise there would not have been a Yellow Turban Rebellion. So she raised her hand and motioned for Wang Yun to continue.
Wang Yun saw that Cai Ji did not show his disgust with Taiping Dao's interference in politics in the name of ghosts and gods, so he continued to tell him, "A few years later, Emperor Cheng succeeded to the throne. The state affairs are in dire straits. Emperor Wai was ill for a long time, and Xia Lianghe, a disciple of Gan Zhongke, persuaded the minister Li Xun and others to persuade the Son of Heaven with Taiping Dao again. In order to recover from his illness, Emperor Wai ordered the name to be changed to 'Emperor Chen Shengliu Taiping'. After Xia Lianghe, Li Xun and others gained power, they used Taiping Dao to implement changes and rectify the dynasty. However, the scholars in the court attacked Taiping Dao wantonly, and Emperor Wai was ill for a long time. Xia Lianghe and others were all killed by traitors in the end. ”
"Use Taiping Road to implement law changes? Isn't it copying ink science? Cai Ji asked curiously.
"How can ordinary warlocks know how to govern the country? Since Moxue prevails. Wang Yun did not shy away from admitting.
Cai Ji nodded and asked, "What happened later?" ”
Since then, the Taiping Road has cut off the heart of assisting the Han family. The Mohists took this as a precept and rebuilt the "Baoyuan Taiping Sutra", renamed it "Taiping Qing Lingdao", and merged it with the "Taiping Essentials" to form the "Taiping Sutra". Until the two emperors of Huan and Ling were in turmoil, the dynasty was sluggish again, and the great sage and good teacher conspired with Ma Yuanyi, the emperor of the Mo family, to overthrow the Han family and establish the Huangtian Divine Kingdom. According to the plan agreed by the two sides, the great sages and good teachers recruited troops and horses in the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan, and contacted believers. Ma Juzi wandered among the dignitaries of the imperial court and planted fine works for the Taiping Road. After ten years of such a painstaking arrangement, the great virtuous and good teachers got millions of soldiers, and Ma Juzi also got the Zhongchang Servant Feng, Xu Feng and other officials of the Beijing Division as the internal response. The two sides agreed that on the fifth day of the third month of the seventh year of Guanghe, the great virtuous and good teachers raised troops from Bazhou, and Ma Juzi led the children of the Mo family to infiltrate the Beijing division to assassinate the important members of the court, so that the inside and outside should work together to overthrow the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop! Until ......" Wang Yun said this, his hands that were originally resting on his knees were clenched into fists, and he trembled slightly,
"Until Zhou Tang, a native of Jiyin, reported Ma Yuanyi to the government." Cai Ji said the final ending for Wang Yun. In Cai Ji's impression, Ma Yuanyi has always appeared in various historical books and novels as the generous leader of the Yellow Turban. But compared to other Yellow Turban generous leaders, Ma Yuanyi's power is obviously much greater. He not only enjoys the name of "divine envoy", but also commands the generosity of Jing and Yangzhou, and independently plans and implements the Luoyang plan. If it is said that this person planned the Yellow Turban Uprising with Zhang Jiao as a member of the Mo family, it is reasonable.
When Wang Yun'er heard Cai Ji mention the traitor Zhou Tang, he couldn't help clenching his fists, gritting his teeth and saying, "Yes!" On February 15 of the seventh year of Guanghe, Zhou Tang wrote to the imperial court to denounce Ma Juzi. The general He Jinqin led the Yulin Army and the five school battalion divisions to surround the mansions of Feng Wei and Xu Feng, and arrested the children of the Mo family. Ma Juzi was seriously wounded and captured, and a few days later he was sentenced to a car split. The rest of the Yellow Turbans in the city were also slaughtered by the officers and soldiers. ”
Wang Yun was choked up when he said this. And next, Zhang Jiao got up early and other events, Cai Ji was already familiar with it. So she didn't urge Wang Yun to continue. Instead, he lamented in his heart that the Mo family paid too much attention to assassination. From ancient times to the present, which faction has relied on assassination to seize the world and sit in the world? Such a style is destined to be difficult to achieve great things! However, Cai Ji did not say these thoughts of hers, but waited for Wang Yunqing to stabilize and then turned to ask him. "Then Lin Langjun is a disciple of Ma Yuanyi?"
"Yes. At the beginning of the seventh year of Guanghe, Lin Langjun was raising grain and grass for the great sages and teachers in Jizhou, so he did not enter Beijing with Ma Juzi. Wang Yun nodded and replied, "After we failed in the uprising, it was also thanks to Lin Langjun who took advantage of the powerful power to mediate from it. was able to escape the pursuit of the government. ”
"Raising food for Zhang Jiao? No wonder he is so familiar with Haoqiang from all over the world, and he is proficient in the art of touching gold. Thinking of his many speculations about Lin Fei's identity, Cai Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this moment, the ins and outs of the future are really clear. Lin Fei's identity is not so mysterious. Of course, Wang Yun may also be lying, but this is no longer a problem for Cai Ji. After all, in the face of absolute strength, a single conspiracy and trickery is empty talk. At the same time, Cai Ji also believed that Wang Yun was so open and honest about the origin of Taiping Dao and Lin Fei's in order to further consolidate the alliance with himself. So the next moment, she also bluntly asked Wang Yun, "According to what Wang Xiaodao said, Taiping Dao has a deep relationship with the Mo family. But as far as Lone knows. The Mohists advocate both love, non-attack, Shangxian, Shangtong, Tianzhi, Ming ghosts, non-life, non-music, thrift, and funeral. Why did Wang Xiaodao say that if you don't believe in ghosts and gods, you can get the "Taiping Sutra"? ”
"Back to the Lord. Mozi said: 'The three generations of holy kings in the past have not been caught, the world is unjust, and the princes are upright. Fathers and sons and brothers are not merciful and filial, and the elder brother is not strong enough to listen to the rule, and the slut is not strong enough to engage in it, and the people are adulterous, tyrannical, and thieves. Why is this so? They all wonder about the difference between the existence and non-existence of ghosts and gods. I don't know that ghosts and gods can reward the virtuous and punish the violent. Now, if the people of the world are made to believe in the power of ghosts and gods to reward the virtuous and punish the violent, then the world will be in chaos! Wang Yun said with emotion, "It can be seen that the ghosts of the Mo family are persuading people to follow the way of heaven and be auspicious, and to act against the way of heaven will be fierce." and not to fool the people in the name of ghosts and gods. The Lord said frankly. If you don't believe in ghosts and gods, but believe in cause and effect, wouldn't it be the right response to ghosts? ”
Cai Ji didn't expect that although Wang Yun was young, his knowledge was not inferior to some celebrities. At this moment, after listening to his explanation of the "Ming Ghost", Cai Ji couldn't help but stroke his hands and smiled, "A good one who follows the heavens is auspicious, and if he goes against the heavens, he is fierce!" Then she changed the conversation again, "But even if this is the case, Lone will not implement the Mo family's method with just a few words from you." ”
"Of course." Wang Yun calmly echoed, "Since Gan Zhong Ke was defeated, Taiping Dao has known that only by saving the people from fire and water can he achieve a peaceful world, rather than using magic to please the king and generals. Don't hide it from the lord, when he was in Jinxi in the past, Lin Langjun had many disputes with Yu Ji. The reason is that Lin Langjun is bent on practicing the method of ink in Jinxi, in order to prove to the Lord that ink learning is effective. Yu Ji, on the other hand, only wanted to build an ancestral temple, recruit believers, and receive incense. Later, in order to seek fame and fortune, he used magic to curry favor with Yuan Shao to the point where the people lived and died. Therefore, in Wang Yun's heart, Yu Ji has already deviated from the Taiping Road. ”
"If that's the case, Lin Fei should personally explain this to Tonggu." Cai Ji, who heard that Wang Yun was defending Lin Fei, sneered.
"If this is said by Lin Langjun, will the Lord listen?" Wang Yun asked rhetorically.
Cai Ji was asked by Wang Yun like this, and couldn't help but pause. Indeed, if Lin Feilai had been talking to him about the ins and outs of Taiping Dao and the Mo family at this time, Cai Ji might not have listened so seriously. Or to be more precise, Cai Ji would have had reservations about Lin Fei's words.
At the same time, Wang Yun saw that Cai Ji did not answer, so he sincerely bowed his hand to Cai Ji and said, "Lord Mingjian, since Lin Langjun established Jinxi City, the people have their fields, the dwellers have their houses, and the barbarians from all over the world dare not come to attack. ”
Cai Ji really can't refute this. Jinxi has only been less than three years since the city was founded. Lin Fei not only allowed the Taiping people who immigrated to Liaodong to gain a firm foothold, but also built Jinxi into a military town of the Qi army in Liaodong. With these merits alone, Cai Ji had to nod and admit, "Lin Feizhi's talent is indeed comparable to Zhidu. ”
Zhi was a famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty. He is loyal to his duties, fair and honest, not afraid of violence internally, and dares to beat the powerful and powerful; Actively resisted foreign aggression, making the Xiongnu famous. Later generations spoke highly of him, and ranked him alongside famous generals such as Lian Po and Zhao Hao of the Warring States Zhao State, and was known as "the general of the war and the minions of the country". Cai Ji praised Lin Fei as Zhidu, which naturally recognized his talent. Wang Yun, who was deeply encouraged, struck while the iron was hot and said to Cai Ji, "Since the Lord also approves of Lin Langjun's strategy, can you promote the method of Jinxi to Guannai?" ”
But Cai Ji waved his hand and simply vetoed, "No." ”
"Why?" Wang Yun was puzzled.
"Jinxi is Jinxi, and the Central Plains is the Central Plains, and it cannot be generalized." Cai Ji shook his head again and again. In fact, Cai Ji has always paid attention to Lin Fei's governance in Jinxi. Especially when she was in Youzhou, she also specially discussed many systems in Jinxi with Pang Tong. As a participant, Pang Tong is naturally full of praise for a series of systems in Jinxi. But Cai Ji, who came from more than 1,800 years later, still saw some limitations of the Jinxi system. For example, the system adopted by Lin Fei in Jinxi was derived from the law of the Mo. Because of the hard-working and self-disciplined people, under the quasi-military management, they can give full play to their human initiative. The Taiping people in Jinxi have similar su zhì, so they can adapt to the method of the ink and concentrate on opening up the wasteland and building the city. However, this kind of organization, which is similar to the production team of later generations, is not very applicable in the intertwined customs of clan power, and may even provoke popular revolt.
According to Cai Ji's idea, some systems in Jinxi must be adjusted before they can be promoted in the Guannai. And the target of promotion is not ordinary natural villages, but tun tun tun cultivated official fields. Because most of the people who replaced the government were homeless, they were less impressed by the clan and were prone to paramilitary management.
So when Cai Ji saw Wang Yun's disappointment, he couldn't help but smile slightly, "That's it." This "Taiping Sutra" was accepted by Lone first, and you went to tell Lin Fei that if you want to accept the ink method alone, you should pass through Liaodong. Let me see if the Mo family can open up territory for the Han Dynasty like Confucianism and Legalism. ”
After hearing what Cai Ji said, Wang Yun immediately straightened his waist excitedly, and bowed solemnly to Cai Ji, "No! We will live up to the Lord's trust! ”
――――――
It is hereby declared that the content of this chapter about the Mohist and Taiping Dao is all Liu Dingcha's information and self-brain supplement~O(n_n)O~
In addition, some book friends said that the Mo family would not assist the imperial court. Well~ I can only say that if the Mo family doesn't seek to be a leader, what if they want to send disciples to various countries to be officials for Mao? For Mao, do you have to invent so many siege and defense equipment? What about preaching "accumulators" for Mao to prepare for the guard? Once upon a time, Mohist and Confucianism were the two great scholars. Well, even admit that the Mo family is more arrogant~~~ (to be continued)
