"Yu came to the main altar today to invite the elders to go north on behalf of the Lord Qi."

Lin Fei said the purpose of his trip straight to the point, but in exchange for the other party's cold refusal, "The elder has never been involved in mundane affairs, please go back." ”

Waiting for the rhetoric obviously couldn't dismiss Lin Fei, and seeing him straighten up his waist, he smiled to himself and said, "Not involved in mundane affairs?" Why did Juzi conspire with Taiping Dao in the world? Why did he send Yu and Deheng's junior brothers to divide the Qi and Wei families? ”

The woman behind the bamboo curtain was still unmoved, "You should know that Juzi is in charge of the portal, and the elders study ink, each has its own duties, and does not interfere with each other." ”

"If that's the case, why did Juzi let you marry Zhuge Kongming?" When Lin Fei said this, he couldn't help but clench his fists and said bitterly, "Yueying, you are a rare talent in Momen in a hundred years!" ”

It turned out that the woman sitting behind the bamboo curtain at this moment was Huang Chengyan's daughter, Zhuge Liang's fiancée Huang Shuo - Huang Yueying. It is said that this Huang family girl has been smart since she was a child. When she was seven years old, a Mohist scholar came to the Huangfu as a guest. The other party saw that Xiao Yueying heard about it, and he never forgot it, so he proposed to Huang Chengyan to accept his daughter as an apprentice. Huang Chengyan has always liked to make friends with celebrities and strangers, not only did he accept it, but also funded the construction of this Zhuangzi in Da Xian Mountain for Momen. Since then, Huang Yueying has been studying under the Mo family for more than ten years. Because the Mo family is quite secretive, Huang Yueying is obsessed with Moxue and rarely makes friends with famous Shuyuan, so over time, there are rumors that she is "too ugly to see people".

However, Lin Fei knew very well that his little junior sister was not only beautiful and wise, but also well-versed in the past and the present, and her attainments in Moxue and Yixue far surpassed those of the Momen disciples. So much so that the elders of the Momen all recognized that Huang Yueying had completely inherited their mantle, and when the time came, this young girl could become a new generation of elders. Therefore, Lin Fei thought for a long time that Huang Yueying was the smartest in the world. The most knowledgeable and strange woman. It wasn't until he met Cai Ji in Donglai ten years ago that he realized that troubled times are not only heroes, but also surprising women. But even so. Huang Yueying is still an irreplaceable goddess in Lin Fei's mind. It is no wonder that after learning that Juzi actually arranged for Huang Yueying to marry Zhuge Liang, Lin Fei would lose his cool and run

The general altar questioned the matter.

Huang Yueying is still a girl in the boudoir after all, and in the face of Lin Fei's straightforward questioning, her cheeks suddenly turned red and argued, "Senior brother shouldn't question Juzi." Yue Ying was engaged to Mr. Zhuge at the behest of her father. Moreover, Mr. Zhuge promised Yueying that after marriage, he would guide Yueying to learn. Senior brother Ru Kezhi Mr. Zhuge is proficient in Qimen Dunjia. Even Elder Chen couldn't even look at it. ”

Hearing Huang Yueying mention Zhuge Liang, her tone was full of longing and happiness, and Lin Fei felt a shock in his heart for no reason. Before he could speak, someone behind him laughed loudly. "Of course! Zhuge Kongming, Quan, Zhiying, and Wisdom, have more than one tube, Yan, Yueying and such a handsome man in the world, and it will be harmonious in the future. Luan Feng and Ming! ”

If you are familiar with the humanities and customs of Jingzhou. At this moment, you must be able to recognize that the person who spoke is Sima Hui, a famous Yingchuan scholar who has been active in Jingzhou Shilin for a long time. This person is a noble and noble person, and has the ability to know people and discuss the world and identify talents, so he is known as "Mr. Shuijing". In addition, Sima Hui was also proficient in ancient scriptures, and was as famous as Song Zhong, a great Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, when he was in Jingzhou. Liu Hui, a native of Nanyang, Jingzhou, and Xiang Lang, a native of Xiangyang, were both students of Sima Hui. Now these two have held important positions in Cao Wei and are deeply respected by the Cao family's father and son. Even the famous scholars Yin Mo and Li Ren, who were far away in Yizhou, came to Jingzhou to learn ancient scriptures from Sima Hui and Song Zhong because Yizhou was only popular in modern literature and scriptures.

It is said that Hongru like Sima Hui and other famous people should not have anything to do with the Mo family. But at this time, Lin Fei and Huang Yueying were not surprised, but both respectfully saluted Sima Hui and said, "I've seen Juzi." ”

That's right. The other identity of Mr. Shuijing in front of him is the current Momen Juzi. Of course, this is not to say that Sima Hui's acting skills are outstanding, and he can be compatible with the dual identities of Hongru and anti-thief Bing Huo at the same time. In fact, if it weren't for the Taiping Road Incident that year, which caused the death of the previous generation of Momen Juzi and many backbones in the war, it would not have been Sima Hui's turn to be ordered to become a Juzi in danger.

In view of the strategy of the previous generations of Juzi, Momen was almost destroyed. Sima Hui himself was extremely disgusted with Momen's cooperation with Taiping Dao. In his opinion, the moral criterion of the Mohists to "punish violence and eliminate evil" is outdated. Because "violence" and "benevolence", "evil" and "good" are no longer clearly distinguished in this era. In the era of Emperor Huan and Ling, it was true that the officials were corrupt, and the people were forced to suffer from taxes. But the yellow scarves rose up, and the lives of the people were not improved after the violence and evil, on the contrary, the world fell into chaos because of this, and hundreds of people were ruined and starved all over the country because of the war. After Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban Army, which lost its guide, quickly degenerated into a stream of grass bandits, causing disaster to the world. Such an ending obviously violated the Mohist principle of "non-offensive", because Mozi himself was an extremely war-averse person.

In order to make up for the mistakes made by previous generations of Juzi, Sima Hui advocated that the Mohists should send their own elites to serve the imperial court like Confucianism and help the Han family re-establish order and end the war. To this end, he first sent Ma Jun, who was the most proficient in the art of the Momen, to Xu Dushi. Later, as the Son of Heaven moved south to Xiangyang and canonized Liu Bei as the Duke of Jing, Sima Hui bet on Liu Bei again. For example, the marriage contract between Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang is led by Mr. Shuijing.

On the other hand, for Lin Fei and others who cooperated with Taiping Dao in the north, Sima Hui has long avoided suspicion with a blind attitude. It was not until Cao Cai defeated Yuan Shao and Yu Ji died that the two sides resumed contact one after another. But even so, Sima Hui still deliberately kept a certain distance from Cai Ji's forces. This is because Sima Hui thinks that Cai Ji is not a long-term solution to gain power by taking advantage of crooked ways such as Taiping Dao. Second, after migrating from the Momen General Altar to Da Xian Mountain, the Mo family's sphere of influence also moved from the Central Plains to Jingzhou. The conservative Sima Hui currently only wants Momen to take root in Jingzhou, and then slowly plot against the Central Plains.

Of course, now Cai Ji has been enshrined as the Duke of Qi and has become the king of a country, and Lin Fei also holds an important position in the State of Qi. Sima Hui is prejudiced against Lin Fei and Cai Ji, and it is not good to continue to reject the power of Qi thousands of miles away. At this moment, facing Lin Fei, who was uninvited, Sima Hui sat down quietly and said, "Zhengjie has something important to do when he comes to the main altar today?" ”

Although Lin Fei was dissatisfied with Sima Hui, the Mo family stipulated that ink practitioners should unconditionally obey Juzi. So he replied in a deferential tone. "Back to Juzi, Yu was ordered by Lord Qi to invite the elders to the north to teach."

"Going north to teach? What classes are taught? Sima Hui asked knowingly.

"Lord Qi has always admired Moxue. He invited the elders to give lectures on ink science. Lin Fei bowed his head and replied.

"Moxue..."Sima Hui said with his long beard twisted in his hand, "Zhengjie, as a disciple of Momen, you should know that Moxue is the secret of this sect, how can you easily show it to others?" ”

Of course, Lin Fei knew that Moxue was a treasure that was not passed down from the Momen. Even if he had given Cai Ji "Mozi" as a gesture of goodwill before, it was just a scratch of the surface. Not to mention that it is difficult for ordinary people to grasp the essence of Mozi without annotations, that is, Moxue itself has made great progress through hundreds of years of research by the children of the Mo family. He also accumulated a large amount of knowledge that was not recorded in Mozi. As for the conditions for Momen to recruit disciples, it is even more harsh, without a certain talent, even if he is sincere in his studies, it is difficult to enter the eyes of the Momen elders. In fact, Lin Fei also regarded Moxue as a killer weapon for the revival of the Mo family. He believed that the mystery of Moxue should be maintained as much as possible to arouse the interest of the princes, and then he became a prominent scholar who was deeply relied on by the princes. It's just that he never expected that there would be princes in this world who are more knowledgeable than him.

It is said that when Lin Fei arrived in Longkou with Zhen Yao and Wang Han at the invitation of the Duan brothers, he did not plan to stay in that small coastal city for long. Because the instructions he received from Zongtan at that time were to ask him to use the relationship of the Zhen family in Zhongshan to get close to Yuan Shao. However, from the moment Cai Ji, who was only 14 years old, stood in front of the barren tidal flats and described the future prosperity prospects of Longkou Port to everyone, Lin Fei came up with the idea of changing his plan. Because he traveled to the Central Plains, he had never met a bureaucrat until now. What warlord has such a clear and enthusiastic plan for the future as Cai Ji. So Lin Fei secretly investigated Cai Ji's background after leaving Longkou. and soon learned that Cai Jinai was his daughter. But just when he thought he had mastered the secret of Cai Xiaofujun, Cai Ji publicly took the decree as a woman in the first month of the second year of Xingping and officially took office as the Taishou of Donglai.

Cai Ji's move brought a great shock to Lin Fei. It is true that he has seen women who do not allow women to shave their eyebrows before, but these women will more or less complain that they are born as women. Only Cai Ji and Huang Yueying not only did not resent being women, but also impressed men with their own wisdom. On Cai Ji's body, Lin Fei vaguely saw the shadow of his little sister Huang Yueying. It was this familiar feeling that made him finally make up his mind to give up Yuan Shao and help Cai Ji instead.

Of course, Cai Ji is not Huang Yueying after all, let alone Yu Ji, Zhang Luna and other gods. In the face of the troubled times of rivers of blood, she neither hid in the study with her head covered, nor did she use her relevant knowledge to pretend to be a ghost. From the waterwheel to the artillery, from the opening of the lecture hall to the creation of the Zun Jing Pavilion. Cai Ji always actively applied what she knew and learned to various aspects such as people's livelihood, military affairs, and economy without concealment, and selected knowledge that had nothing to do with national defense secrets and compiled it into a book. It was printed into a book and disseminated to the outside world on the platform of the lecture hall. But Cai Ji and the Qi country she built did not lose its technological advantage because of the spread of knowledge. On the contrary, the lecture hall and the Zun Jing Pavilion attracted thousands of scholars to rush to Longkou to study, and some of them passed the imperial examination to become a member of the Qi state. The other part stayed in the lecture hall for a long time to study academics with lecturers such as Xu Yue and Duan Zhi.

Seeing that Cai Ji had become the king of a country step by step from a puppet, and that the research results of the three or four years of the Lecture Wutang were worth ten years of painstaking study by the elders of Momen, Lin Fei would naturally reflect on whether what Momen had done in the previous decades was correct, and would question whether the plans of the elders of Juzi were in line with Mozi's original intentions. Now, Lin Fei no longer regards mastering knowledge as the privilege of a few, and at the same time, the thriving status quo of the Qi State also gives him the confidence to confront Sima Hui face to face.

So the next moment, I saw Lin Fei raise his head and retort to Sima Hui sternly, "Juzi's words are wrong. Mozi said: The reason why benevolent people do things is that they will benefit the world and remove the harm of the world. If there is chaos today, the heroes rise together, and the rest of the people who are ink should do everything they have learned to benefit and harm, how can they live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and stand by and watch! ”

Hearing Lin Fei talk about the Mo family's concept of "love", Sima Hui on the other side was unmoved like an old monk. It is true that Mozi advocated that a benevolent gentleman should take it as his responsibility to prosper the public interests of the people of the world and eliminate the public hazards of the people of the world. But when there are so many princes today, why does Momen have to support Cai Ji? Could it be that she, Cai Anzhen, represents the public interest of the world?

Of course, Sima Hui, who was a noble person, would not refute Lin Fei so bluntly in person, and saw that he shook his head and sighed when he twisted his long beard, "Since ancient times, there has been no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, and today's world is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period. If Yu Ruo sent the elders of Momen to assist the princes, wouldn't it be against Mozi's way of attacking? ”

Facing Sima Hui, who sent his junior brother Ma Jun to Cao Wei and talked about the "non-offensive way" on the other hand, Lin Fei secretly sneered in his heart, and then retorted confidently, "Juzi Mingjian, the Lord of Qi is different from ordinary princes, he has always been sympathetic to the people's livelihood and has never fought unjustly. Now the hungry in all states and counties of Qi have food, the cold have clothing, and the laborers have rest. How can such a benevolent and righteous ruler be assisted by those who cannot be inked? ”

"Never raise an unrighteous war?" Sima Hui remembered Kong Rong's appearance of accusing Cai Ji after drinking, and immediately asked in a mocking tone, "Who was the one who invaded Beihai in the past?" ”

When it comes to the Battle of Beihai that year, Lin Fei is much more familiar than Sima Hui. Because that battle was the first battle after the Five Elements Escape Banner defected to Cai Ji's command, Lin Fei himself also made a lot of efforts from it. I saw him unhurriedly explain, "Juzi doesn't know that in the past, the Qi lord's conquest of Beihai was forced by Yuan Shao's father and son. Inevitably injured the innocent, the Lord of Qi specially ordered the Five Elements Escape Banner to take the capital of Beihai County Changcheng by night, not only did not hurt the people in the city, but even the family members of Kong Wenju were all sent back to Xudu afterwards. ”

Where did Sima Hui know that there were so many stories behind the Battle of Beihai. Seeing that what Lin Fei said didn't seem to be a lie, it was not good for him to continue to dwell on related issues. After all, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and he only listened to Kong Rong's words about Cai Ji's seizure of Beihai. However, even if Lin Fei was telling the truth, Sima Hui still wouldn't let the elders of Momen go north with Lin Fei. Because in his eyes, Lin Fei's Momen resources were far superior to his, the Momen giant. Not to mention the wealth accumulated by Momen and Taiping Dao back then, the three hundred and five elements of the Escape Banner alone were enough to reinvigorate Momen. It's a pity that when it was Sima Hui's turn to take over as Momen's juzi, the Five Elements Escape Banner had been taken under Cai Ji's command.

In short, both public and private, Sima Hui didn't plan to let Lin Fei continue to use Momen for profit, so he followed and changed the conversation, "Even so, Lord Qi has the heart to chase after all. If the Lord of Qi is really as benevolent and righteous as Zhengjie said, why doesn't he make the law of salt production in Qingzhou public, so that the people of the world can share the benefits of salt?
