Chapter 225: The Holy Teacher
With the leader of the prayer dragon, the remaining former emperors of Dayong, Daqing, and Dayue have followed suit one by one, and they have said that there are also talented and intelligent people in their royal family who want to come to the Xia Dynasty to study for a while.
When it is said to be refreshed, it actually means proton - but unlike proton, it is one-sided.
The Xia Dynasty doesn't need to send protons, not to mention, the protons sent by these countries, if nothing else, will definitely be able to become a treasure after going back.
Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and they understand people's hearts very well, so they naturally understand what this means.
If we extrapolate according to the limit of about 120 years of the Grandmaster, what is the limit of surpassing the Grandmaster? According to the less, how can you be 150 years old, right?
One hundred and fifty years old, in the mortal dust, it is six or seven generations, even if he is replaced by an emperor, how can he survive three or four generations, and if he is lucky, he may be able to survive a few more.
And before that one grew old, the four kingdoms were destined to only look up to the Xia Dynasty, unless he no longer supported the Xia Dynasty.
In this case, it is better to simply reduce the things that are hidden, and send the future emperor directly over, and just listen to the instructions and be done.
Gu Dan did not take the lives of the royal family, so they had to repay the favor - Gu Dan could not do with, but they could not give it.
The various trade-offs involved are naturally well thought out.
Wang Mang nodded and agreed, this is indeed a good opportunity.
The current Xia Dynasty is not strong, or the general environment is still a mess, and it needs to be rectified, deal with the four countries well, and even occupy the mainstream, it is necessary to pull the tiger skin to make a big banner.
The four countries want to curry favor with Gu Dan, why doesn't Wang Mang covet the talents and resources of the four countries?
It doesn't matter if it's a mess now, who can say what will happen after that?
While the coercion of Gu Dan is still there, of course, it is necessary to make up for it from the four countries, including but not limited to things such as opening the country widely, doing business exchanges, etc.
But these things are not to be talked about today.
Everyone who could be present knew that in addition to the great joy of the founding of the Xia Dynasty, there was also one thing that was enough to wash away the joy, so after a brief congratulations, the people of several countries retreated to the side, looking solemn and solemn.
Inkhill has fallen.
This news has reached the time when it has to be promulgated, and even announced to the world.
So on such a happy day, under the brocade of flowers outside, white flowers still account for more than half.
It's not that those officials don't know how to avoid it, but they don't need to avoid it, and they even have to take the initiative to spread more white flowers.
At this time, almost all the people thought that Moqiu was still alive, and even thought that the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty was Moqiu, so the people cheering on the street shouted the word sage.
Once the news of Moqiu's fall spreads, it is equivalent to a sea needle in people's hearts falling.
But the Xia Dynasty can no longer deceive itself, and it is impossible to keep pulling Moqiu's morality on his body to appease people's hearts - people's hearts are appeased, but people are gone, is this like words?
There must always be an account.
Instead of coaxing and appeasing people now, I will secretly release the rumor in a few years that Moqiu is long gone. That would inevitably damage the majesty and credibility of the Xia Dynasty too much.
Credibility is a thing that is hard to accumulate, but it is consumed very quickly.
Wang Mang was not prepared to destroy the Great Wall, even though he knew that announcing the news of the fall of Moqiu at this time would greatly damage the trust and expectations of the people, he had to do so.
This is respect for the Xia Dynasty, respect for Moqiu, respect for the Mo family, and respect for yourself.
"There's one more thing you should already know."
Wang Mang sat on the dragon chair, and his voice sank slightly, "The giant of the Mo family, Moqiu has died. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below.
Regardless of whether they already knew it, even if they pretended to be sad at this time.
Only a few people did not change their expressions.
For example, Yu Lisheng, Gong Shangguo, and even Xun Ke.
They looked coldly at the coy behavior of the civil and military officials who had been temporarily promoted, and did not say a word.
"Mozi is my master. I followed him to learn martial arts and morality. Throughout his life, he was just the word 'morality'. For the sake of morality, Mozi founded the Mojia family; For the sake of morality, Mozi rushed to Yuzhou; For the sake of morality, Mozi killed Emperor Zongming; For the sake of morality, Mozi took 3,000 ink warriors to behead the Daqing commander; For the sake of morality, Mozi defended the city for several years. ”
Wang Mang's voice paused slightly, and then he said: "It is also for the sake of morality, after the source river burst the embankment, Mozi relied on his life in exchange for a peaceful place in the world!" ”
He counted the things that Moqiu had done, and after these deeds, it was definitely going to be publicized by the imperial court, but at this time, it was actually a memorial to Moqiu's achievements during his lifetime.
"I can say very responsibly that without Mozi, there would be no Xia Dynasty, and there would be nothing today. Without Mozi, the war would not have stopped, and the people would not have seen the dawn of hope. Without Mozi, it would be difficult for people in the world to understand what the word morality is! ”
Wang Mang's voice became excited, almost tearful, and his heart ached, "Mozi, who founded the Xia Dynasty and fought all his life for morality, my master, has been unable to see everything he has fought for!" ”
Crying was heard below.
The cry grew louder and louder.
Although he knew that some of them were pretending to be people, the corners of Xun Ke's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.
The man who saved his life, his true master, was not able to see all this.
Obviously, it is only less than a year away, and even if you wait a few more days, there may be a different result.
But, there is no if.
Perhaps, as Mr. Gu said, Master Mo still has one day to wake up.
But will they still be able to see that day?
And most importantly, for the people who are full of hope at this time, can they wait?
I'm afraid I can't wait.
For a person like Moshi who has a heart for the common people and really has the ability and faith to run for the common people, how many years will it take for such a person to appear?
Mr. Gu has done a lot of things, and if those things are said, his prestige will not be less than that of the ink master, but Mr. Gu is not the ink master after all, and Mr. Gu refuses to stand up and become an inspiring banner and a banner representing the world.
I'd rather transfer all my deeds to Master Mo than show them in front of others.
In the absence of the ink master, there is a lack of a person to resist the flag in this world.
The cult of personality is unimaginable in such an era, not to mention that the power of the individual is indeed there!
In times like these, the individual is able to transcend the collective, and even dominate the collective.
The surrender of the four countries is the best proof of this.
After the ink master left, I don't know how many people will have to fill the vacancy left behind.
Fortunately, this sad state did not last too long, Wang Mang on the dragon chair still had something to say.
"My heart hurts!"
Wang Mang pounded his chest, the corners of his eyes were shining, and his title had changed unconsciously, "Mozi is not only my master, but also the master of the world." What he is defending is not the interests of a certain country or a certain place, but the morality of the world, the morality of the people who cannot stand here!
The world respects the ink master as a saint, and his person is also like a saint, and there is no whitewashing! I am now posthumously crowning Mozi as the 'Most Holy Master', enjoying the incense of eternity, and serving the Mohist family as the state religion, and I hope that the Xia Dynasty will live up to the morality respected by the Moshi! ”
Holy Teacher!
That's a great name.
And I hope that the Xia Dynasty will live up to Mozi's morality, and it will raise it to a higher level.
The implication is that no one in a kingdom may be as virtuous as a man.
There is no more outrageous praise and appreciation, which is more affirmative than ever.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything to say?"
After promulgating his posthumous seal, Wang Mang asked seriously.
"Mozi's virtue is unique in the world, and the most holy teacher is right!"
"Mozi is a role model for the people of the world, and the four characters of the Holy Master are well deserved and deserved!"
"Mozi's merits are enough to convince people's hearts, the Holy Ancestor couldn't be more appropriate, my emperor is wise!"
All kinds of voices of approval and approval resounded in the hall.
Not a single person objected.
So Wang Mang nodded lightly and waved his hand, "Then spread the news." ”
"Is it today?"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites stood up hard, didn't they say that it would drag on for a few days, at least wait for this festive atmosphere to pass, why did they suddenly change their minds?
"How can you neglect this?"
Wang Mang frowned, and said quickly: "Hurry up and report!" ”
"Yes!"
The official of the Ministry of Rites immediately nodded in response, and trotted out quickly, sweat on his forehead.
Wang Mang suddenly played this play, he was really not afraid of being overthrown by the people under the excitement of the crowd!
Those people who were originally full of joy suddenly learned that their emperor was not the born saint who had been propagandizing, and the born saint had already driven west, and the one who really ascended to the great treasure was called Wang Mang, a guy who had never heard of it, what should be the reaction?
On the dragon chair, Wang Mang took a deep breath.
This decision was also a deliberate one.
Since you want to be a good emperor, you must first show your own attitude.
From a common sense point of view, it is almost hopeless to surpass Moqiu, unless he is also martyred, and then there is such a small chance to lose.
But why go beyond that?
Murphy is a saint.
And he, now the emperor.
A saint is a saint and an emperor is an emperor, these are two completely different tracks.
In terms of human and moral character, he is far inferior to Moqiu.
But when it comes to being an emperor and ruling the world, this is just the beginning, who dares to be sure of what will happen next?
If he wants to make a career, he can't shy away from this.
Rather than being looked down upon, it is better to be straightforward from the beginning.
The Xia Dynasty had just been established, and he had just ascended the throne.
It's at its weakest, and it's the most indifferent.
Now there are many problems in the Xia Dynasty, and the civil and military officials have just been pulled out, and there are still some guys who fill the vacancies first.
When it's all problems, a little bit of a problem doesn't matter.
If you don't do it now, wait until the tail is too big to announce it, how do you have to write it in the history books?
History is like a knife!
You can deceive the people now, but you will be beaten in the face in the future!
It's better to make it clear from the beginning, anyway, he hasn't accumulated any majesty and virtue yet, and he is not afraid of being scolded.
After all, such an emperor who picked it up can't stand even a little abuse as a grievance, and it's too ignorant of current affairs.
When the officials of the Ministry of Rites disappeared in front of him, Wang Mang's eyes fell on Yu Lisheng, the new Mo family giant.
"Yu Lisheng, you are the second giant of the Mo family, and you will inherit the morality after the Mo master! In your hands, I hope that the brilliance of the Mo family will not fall, and the Mo family can continue to shoulder the word 'morality'! ”
Wang Mang said seriously.
"Ministers, they will live up to the expectations of the people."
Yu Lisheng said seriously.
As soon as he took over as the Mo family giant, he made a choice that Moqiu had never made.
Get involved in temples.
Moqiu has also met Emperor Zongming several times, and Emperor Zongming has not mentioned the reward, but when it comes to the official positions in the temple, they are all rejected by Moqiu.
It's still the same sentence, morality, don't sell.
It is not unaware of the disadvantages of dabbling in temples.
But I had to do it.
If you don't get involved in temples, the Mohists are a simple civil organization.
A non-governmental organization, and the powerful force at its disposal, has to eliminate violence and peace everywhere, punish adultery and eliminate evil - this is really nothing in troubled times, anyway, the world has collapsed, and what you do is a good thing, then you can do it, and there are countless people who respect it.
But it was troubled times!
What about the peaceful and prosperous times?
What is the Mo family going to do?
How should the ink man behave?
If you don't have a position in the court, you have to remove violence and peace, punish adultery and eliminate evil, where does your reputation come from?
Do you want to report to the government before doing something?
If the government and the Mo's views are to the left, who will listen?
These issues have to be considered.
To put it mildly, this is an individual who is above the law of the country, and the Mohists have no right to enforce the law in the strict sense.
To put it mildly, this is treating the law of the country as nothing, and every time the Mo family does something, it is slapping the face of the Xia Dynasty and the face of the court!
Without entering the temple, no country can tolerate the Mo family.
After entering the temple, can the Mo family still be the Mo family?
The former question, there is no solution.
The latter problem can also be guaranteed by personal efforts.
Therefore, Yu Lisheng chose to take the Mo family to join the Xia Dynasty and become a part of the Xia Dynasty system - if you have to compare it to Da Yue, it may be analogous to Jinyiwei, who is directly responsible for the emperor, but the purpose and reputation are not at all a grade, and the things to be done are not a grade at all.
In this way, the Mo family is doing things for the emperor, and every time the Mo family does a big thing, it is no longer to slap the face of the country and the emperor, but to help the emperor clean up the silverfish and cut off the stubborn disease.
The Mohists also have the legitimacy to act, no longer the word "morality" in words, but the justice supported by the state and the right to enforce the law, which is absolutely beyond reproach.
"Good."
Wang Mang nodded slightly, and this matter turned the page.
After the biggest thing, then we can talk about other things.
Qi Yinglong, who had already been a little impatient, and his eyes had scanned the people in the hall back and forth several times, and he took the lead in stepping out, and said neatly: "Dare to ask where is that one?" I have some things here, I want to visit him, and I hope that Emperor Xia will be successful! ”
