Chapter 40: Debate

"Handsome! Such an Uncle Cao is charming! Come with me! Mozi wants to see you. Luban No. 7 opened the bronze door behind him and led Cao Cao out.

Outside the bronze gate, the winding path leads to seclusion. A sheep's intestine path paved with cobblestones, under the background of bamboo and wood on both sides, looks like a long time.

An octagonal pavilion with a stove of sandalwood burning in the pavilion.

Under the smoke and glass of sandalwood, an old man sat on the futon with his eyes closed, like a fairy hidden in the world.

"You're here! Sit. Mozi didn't open his eyes, and opened his mouth to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao did not hesitate, sat on the ground, and faced Mozi's immortal posture with a relaxed attitude.

"Mozi, I'll go first! Call me when you're done. "Luban No. 7 doesn't want to stay here, it feels very depressed.

"Nope! It's good for you to stay, and it's good for you to listen. ”

Mozi's words, Luban No. 7 did not dare to disobey. In the organ village, the most authoritative is Mozi.

"Cao Cao, I invite you here today to have a good talk with you. If you can let go of your soldiers and abandon your pen, presumably the princes of the world will be at peace a lot, and the royal family will also increase a lot of prestige. ”

"Mozi, you are a sage, so you will not be indignant because of your words. If things in the world can really develop in an orderly manner as you said, let alone let Gu let go of all this in front of him, even if Gu dies immediately, Gu will die without regrets.

However, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and all princes have their own selfishness and desires. When something and desire come together, even the best things can become very bad.

If a county magistrate becomes a county guard one day, his desires will continue to tempt him and make him move towards a higher place. Of course, in some cases, such a desire is good, at least it allows people to move forward and not slack off.

But most of the time, these desires can make people become insatiably greedy, especially in the face of power. Just imagine how many people in this world want to be emperors. The days of being an emperor can be described as happy as a fairy, to be windy, to rain and rain, surrounded by beautiful concubines, and dare not obey an order.

Yuan Shao and Liu Biao in the past, Liu Bei and Sun Quan today, which of them is not loyal to the banner of the Han family, and is running their own territory.

Maybe Lone did it too annoyingly, and the banner was too flashy, and it flashed their eyes. Therefore, they will say that the Son of Heaven is holding the princes alone.

Mozi, in today's conversation, the protagonists should not only be you and me, but also Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Only when a few of us are together and the final result is discussed, it is possible to develop in the direction you have in mind. ”

Mozi's expression was calm, and his eyes were still open. He didn't let his mood fluctuate because of Cao Cao's words, as if what Cao Cao said had been rehearsed in his heart.

"The world says that Zhuge Kongming's tongue is a lotus, and a word says that the sages of Jiangdong are moved. In my opinion, your eloquence is not under Kong Ming, if the world is peaceful and prosperous, you should become the pillar of the court and the model of officials.

Cao Cao, now that the north is unified, why don't you let your subjects live and work in peace and contentment, and you have to go south to destroy Sun Liu? Could it be that their presence will keep you awake at night and unable to eat or sleep? Or is it just your own selfish desire to actually destroy them? ”

"The affairs of the world, together for a long time, must be divided for a long time, and it is the law of history to divide and merge. If Lone has the ability to unify the whole country, why should he look at each other across the river?

Since you said that Lone held the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes, then Lone really had to move the Son of Heaven out this time. In the heart of the Son of Heaven, he didn't want to be a sinner in the clan, he wanted to follow Emperor Wu, dominate the country, and become a generation of Ming monarchs.

If with the assistance of Lone, he and Sun Liu rowed the river and ruled, let me ask, is Sun Liu the king of the land? Or is it better to stand on your own?

Could it be that they are suddenly kind-hearted and willing to surrender, not wanting the Son of Heaven to rule the river?

Hahaha..., Mozi, do you know? Your proposal just now is in their hands, and they wish that Lone could listen to your suggestion and let the Son of Heaven rule with them.

Putting the above aside, let's assume that the Son of Heaven is really ready to rule the river next. So, I want to ask Liu Bei, where is your original intention? Aren't you on a mission to revive the Han Dynasty? Now it's time to divide the river and rule? Haven't you been converted?

And with the smart Sun Zhongmou, you have been living peacefully in the six counties of Jiangdong. Neither the excesses nor the decadence of the performance. So, at this critical moment, are you ready to submit? Or show your true heart and let everyone see the real you!

Mozi, say something that makes you feel lonely and self-righteous. It is precisely because of the existence of loneliness in this world that the balance is in a state of balance. If loneliness is gone, will there be chaos in this world again? I don't know, but I'm afraid that this Liu family Han room will no longer exist.

In the long history, we have experienced the era of a hundred schools of thought in which a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought contended. It was a brilliant time, and there were many great sages and wise people, and you were one of them.

You also know that it is precisely because of the special period of war that all kinds of ideas have sprung up one after another.

It's a contradiction, and a contradiction can drive things forward. In the end, Yingzheng unified the world and established the Great Qin Empire. After he unified the country, he pursued the principle of overthrowing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism, and for a time Confucianism became a study that scholars in the world vied with.

Speaking of which, you must be able to understand the meaning of Lone's words. In the vast land of resources, only unification can correct people's hearts, understand their wisdom, and unite their strength. ”

Mozi didn't say a word, and his eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened.

His eyes are as deep as the starry sky. The breath is restrained, and it contains mysterious laws.

There are no words, only eye contact.

Cao Cao opened his heart and unreservedly displayed his soul and mind under Mozi's gaze. And Mozi did not refuse, in his own way, quietly reading the real Cao Cao.

Luban No. 7, who was standing on the side, saw that the two of them suddenly fell silent, sitting there motionless like two stone sculptures. Its mood immediately became tense.

"Daddy! Come here! How do I feel that something is wrong? This is so weird, Mozi has never been like this before! ”

A breeze blew by, and the last bit of sandalwood burned out under the action of the wind.

The next moment, smiles appeared on both Mozi and Cao Cao's faces at the same time. This smile is calm and light, kind and easy-going.

"Shhhh False alarm, wait a minute, I must comfort my surprised little heart! Luban No. 7's clenched little hand loosened, and the nervous it suddenly felt the pressure on it and flew away.
