Dahan first prince

Chapter 341 A New Beginning for the Mo Family
"Going to Fengqu, the horses and horses along the way are tiring, but are you tired?"

After sending away Wang Ling and Cao Shen, Liu Ying was left behind by his old lady Lu Zhi.

Just as she secretly yawned, she was interrupted by Lu Zhi's voice. Liu Ying could only end the yawning 'forward' with a wry smile, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then waved her hands with a smile.

"It's not even about the horses and horses."

"Only in recent days, government affairs have become complicated..."

As she said so, Liu Ying looked at Lu Zhi with more and more resentment.

——God is pitiful...

Ever since the Yuanshuo court meeting set up Liu Ying's career plan of 'enjoy the crown in spring, get married in spring and summer, and be in charge of the court in Jixia', Liu Ying has never had a single peaceful night's sleep in Weiyang Palace!

During the day, Liu Ying naturally read memorials and briefings, or discussed government affairs with Cao Can, Wang Ling, or Yang Chengyan and other ministers;
At night, Liu Ying didn't even have time to make a fool of herself, there were already three or two eunuchs, leading a delicate beauty, waiting in the bedroom...

In the middle of the night, sleepiness swept through, but Liu Ying didn't return to the bedroom that he had been thinking about day and night, and it wasn't even if he didn't return...

The more she thought about it, the more helpless Liu Ying felt, and even her lower back felt faintly sore.

But Lu Zhi didn't seem to see Liu Ying's "tragedy" at all, just nodded as if nothing had happened, then picked up the tea bowl, shook the phoenix crown slightly from side to side, and began to blow tea.

"Even if you are tired, you have to hold on."

"Even if you become the master of this world, you have to bear this burden."

"The days to come will still be long..."

Hearing Lu Zhi's seemingly relaxed but actually implied reminder, Liu Ying finally had no choice but to nod slowly even though she still had some resentment in her heart.

Liu Ying understood what Lu Zhi said.

——For emperors, especially those in the feudal era, to have more offspring, especially male offspring, can be described as a 'political mission' in an absolute sense!
In front of such a sacred political mission, all health and scientific fertility must obediently get out of the way!

It's just: he has a limit to everything...
Anyway, Liu Ying is still just a 17-year-old child...

Following this trend of "struggling", Liu Ying is very worried that her self in this life may not even be able to survive her previous life...
But obviously, regarding this matter, the Queen Mother Lu Zhi, who had gradually handed over the power to Liu Ying, was extremely firm.

"If the government affairs in the court are busy, you can also divide the minor matters and hand them over to the prime minister and the internal historian;"

"As for Baiqu, Chang'an, or Shanglin Garden and other matters, the Shaofu can also do it all, and just look at it from time to time."

"Only the emperor's notice: There are always some things that cannot be done by his subordinates..."

Hearing another cryptic reminder from my old lady, Liu Ying finally could only smile wryly and bow her head to show that she understood.

Otherwise what can we do?
——Could it be that Liu Ying, who is a majestic son of heaven, wants to support her waist in front of her mother, and put on a posture of "the cow can't plow the ground"?
Not to mention that Liu Ying is the son of heaven, no one would dare to make such a disrespectful act even if he is a boy from an ordinary family!

Fortunately, when he was about to leave the palace, Lu Zhi finally let go, and implicitly asked Liu Ying to "take a day off", so that "Alone" could sleep soundly.

For this, Liu Ying only felt tears welling up in her eyes, wishing she could kowtow thirty times to her old lady!

Although it was only for one day, it was so precious to Liu Ying who had been fighting for several months.

But then again: Liu Ying is now the emperor who is about to rule in person.

Since he is the emperor, the word "rest" has already been worshiped by all the officials in Liu Ying, and he was permanently insulated from Liu Ying when he worshiped the ancestors in the Taimiao...

"The left supervisor of the Shaofu ordered the minister to leave..."

"Sit down, sit down~"

"Sit down and say, come."

After returning to Weiyang Palace, they summoned Yang Li, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, into the hall. Without waiting for Yang Li to salute, Liu Ying waved her hand casually, signaling Yang Li to sit down and talk.

As for the reason, it is not very complicated.

For one thing, although Liu Ying didn't know that her actions had already given birth to the speculation of "Your Majesty has forgotten Yang Li and the Mohist family" in Yang Chengyan, the Minister of Shaofu, but she was more or less aware that the separation of these few years would definitely make Yang Centrifugal worries.

To be precise, it is the last spark left by the Mohist family, worrying about the future of the Mohist family in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Ying needs to put on a friendly and easy-going attitude as much as possible within the acceptable range, so as to calm Yang Li's restless heart.

The second reason is that Liu Ying wanted to use this to leave a good impression on Yang Li, or the Mo family.

In the winter three years ago, Liu Ying, who was not yet a prince, was entrusted with the responsibility of "supervising the country" by the former emperor Liu Bang, and completely renovated the Weibei Zhengguo Canal;

It was also in that winter that Liu Ying, the crown prince of the supervisory state who personally inspected the Qu'an, saw the barefooted brown-clothed ink man Yang Li for the first time, not the 'Shao Fucheng' Yang Li.

I don't know if it's the last obsession left by the people of later generations: Liu Ying always has an inexplicable fondness for the Mohists.

But as a mature political figure, Liu Ying is also very clear in her heart: For the feudal era, or the hereditary civilization of feudal monarchs, the political stance of Mohism is so dangerous.

So that year, when the former emperor Liu Bang asked the question of "what do you think of Mohism", Liu Ying replied: Chu Mo has many chivalrous men, who use martial arts to violate the ban; Qi Mo has many eloquent men, who are useless to the country.

Only after Lu Ban at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty could be made stronger by virtue of the abilities of machinery, carpentry, and metallurgy.

This answer is not just Liu Ying's "answer sheet" to deal with the former emperor Liu Bang to ensure that the reserve position is unquestionable, but also Liu Ying's true thoughts deep in her heart;
For a group like 'Chu Mo', not only Liu Ying, but also feudal civilization, as long as it is 'civilization', it will absolutely not accept it.

Because of the word "Chu Mo", it is written as a chivalrous man and pronounced as a bandit;
When they are happy, these people can help the old lady cross the road; when they are unhappy, they can also chop women and children with swords.

Both good and evil, good and evil, chivalrous and robber, this is the kind of person he is talking about.

As for Qi Mo, although he is good at debating, he does not have the destructiveness of Chu Mo chivalrous men and the instability of social security, but it is of no use to today's Han Dynasty.

The reason is simple: Today's Han Dynasty is in the period of post-war reconstruction, at the critical time point of restoring the broken world to its former prosperity after hundreds of years of wars since King Zhou moved westward.

At such a time, compared with a group of people who feast day and night, get drunk, talk about the country, and point at Chang'an and shout "I can do it", the Han Dynasty still needs to work hard and actively participate in the construction groups.

Just like the later generations, China in the new era needs countless predecessors to make selfless dedication, so that they can single-handedly revive the silent Chinese civilization in that devastated era!

As for the mouth, at least we have to wait until everything is on the right track and the people have no worries about food and clothing, and then the young and ignorant passionate youth can enjoy the pleasure of "slamming Fang Qiu".

This is Liu Ying's attitude towards the three schools of Mohism.

——The chivalrous men of Chu State resolutely resist; the eloquent men of Qi and Mo stay aside for the time being.

Today's Han Dynasty needs engineers composed of engineers from Luban in the late Qin Dynasty to actively participate in the construction of the Han Dynasty.

For Liu Ying's point of view, the first emperor Liu Bang also expressed his agreement when he was still alive.

It's just that at that time, the Han Dynasty hadn't even dealt with its internal problems, and the princes with different surnames in the Kanto region hadn't been eradicated, so there was really no spare energy for a technology tree;
In desperation, even Liu Ying, who is 'full of knowledge', can only send Yang Li to Wu State to open salt fields and dry salt.

But today is different from the past. In just a few years, the Han Dynasty has emerged from the quagmire of the civil war, and its financial situation has officially entered the positive cycle of health science.

The wealthy Shaofu has the ability to allocate enough scientific research funds for Yang Li, the Mohist Du Miao, to plant a technology tree; and Yang Li himself has proved himself in Wu State, and he is not an 'honorary Mohist'.

For now, even after bathing and changing clothes before entering the palace, Liu Ying still can easily see in Yang Li's eyes a fortitude and peace that did not exist in the past.

And this perseverance and peace, formally the experience of the past three years, gave Yang Li the best reward...
"Qing...you are a little tanned."

"It's also thinner."

After speaking softly, Liu Ying slowly got up from the imperial couch, and took two steps with her hands behind her back.

"When you are a few years old, how hard is it for Qing to release Wu Dong?"

"If you enter the palace today, you may wish to tell me: what kind of suffering you have suffered in the Yantian of Wudong..."

As soon as Liu Ying finished speaking, Yang Li grinned. Although he saluted Liu Ying for the first time, there was still an inexplicably peaceful and relieved look on his brow.

For the 'suffering' that Liu Ying said, Yang Li clearly did not forget the slightest bit, but through those eyes that were still shining, Liu Ying could not see any complaints or gratitude for the end of the suffering.

In those eyes, all Liu Ying could see was peace.

When people take a look, they will be deeply immersed in it, and they will not be able to regain their peace for a long time...
"Thanks to His Majesty's concern, minister, I am very grateful."

"When I was a few years old, I was ordered by His Majesty to open the salt fields. I ate and slept with the prisoners and civilians in Wudong. I never used 'suffering' to myself."

"In the past, the late father taught the ministers, but the ministers failed to understand the teachings of respect and dignity. In the past few years, the ministers were able to solve their doubts one by one..."

After saying this with a smile, Yang Li sat back in his seat indifferently, with an inexplicably reassuring smile, and fell into the memories of the past.

"Your Majesty, if you don't know: most of my Mohists take universal love, non-aggression, honoring the virtuous, respecting the same, frugal use, festival burial, non-joy, heavenly will, understanding ghosts, and non-fate as their duties;"

"In the past, when the late father was still alive, he also said to his ministers every time: Mohist scholars should urge the people of the world to love each other and benefit each other, so that the king, Yao, and Shun will be superior!"

"There is also a saying in "Mozi Jieyong": All Mohist scholars have no brocade clothes, no shoes on their feet, and no wealth left in their bodies; but there are still people who are suffering in the world, and Mohist scholars must not violate it for a day This rule!"

"Those who break the law will be sentenced to death according to the law of the Mohist school, and the crime cannot be forgiven..."

As he said that, Yang Li couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, looking at Liu Ying with a slightly ashamed expression.

"However, at that time, the minister only knew that both love and non-aggression, and that he respected the same and the virtuous. He only heard that festivals were buried with festivals, and that it was neither joy nor fate;"

"The minister has never known: What is universal love, what is non-aggression;

Listening to Yang Li expressing this extremely philosophical insight in an extremely indifferent tone, Liu Ying looked at Yang Li with a little appreciation.

"Oh?"

"So, in the past few years, Yang Qing has gained a lot from Wu Dong?"

Hearing this, Yang Li just smiled and cupped his hands, bowing deeply to Liu Ying.

"Although the teachings of various schools of thought are said to be: a hundred schools of thought, they end up in the same direction through different routes. It is called: enlightenment."

"The Confucian ancestor Kong Qiu also once said: If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening."

"Today, although I can't say a little bit about the direction of the Tao, I also know: the Tao of Mohist, the Tao of Zi Mozi, what are they talking about..."

Hearing this, Liu Ying finally nodded in satisfaction, and then smiled slightly teasingly at Yang Li.

"That's it~"

"Three years ago, what I said on the bank of the Zhengguo Canal, sir, is your intention settled?"

After speaking, Liu Ying sat back on the imperial couch with a big grin, breathed heavily, and then straightened her face.

"Your Majesty, you can speak frankly."

"If you wish, I will keep my promise in the past, and keep my eyes open for Mo Di's words!"

"Even if you don't want to, I am definitely not a king who can't tolerate others; after Mo Di, I will never lose my anger."

"Yu Qing, I should never know that Yang Li is the descendant and grandson of Qi Mo's direct lineage and Mo Di's direct line..."

After saying this with a sincere expression, Liu Ying straightened her body and waited closely for Yang Li's reply.

On the surface, what Liu Ying was waiting for was Yang Li's choice of "willing" or "unwilling";

But in fact, both Liu Ying and Yang Li knew in their hearts that Yang Li's answer would directly affect the future of the entire Mohism, the entire world of academia, and even the entire Han Dynasty and the entire Chinese nation.

But this right to choose was handed over by Liu Ying to Yang Li, the 'sesame official' who was only a thousand stone level...

"Before I was three years old, Your Majesty once said to your ministers: If you have a dynasty and rule China, Your Majesty has only one wish?"

After an unknown amount of time, an extremely flat whisper finally broke the silence in the hall again.

And Yang Li's gaze towards Liu Ying was finally peaceful and indifferent, with a touch of fortitude unique to Mohist scholars.

"Set up a heart for heaven and earth;"

"Building lives for the living and the people."

"Continuing the secret knowledge of the saints!"

"For the sake of all ages, open peace..."

Recited aloud this clearly plagiarized but still inexplicably inspiring motto, Liu Ying only smiled and raised her head.

But under the imperial steps, Yang Li stood up with a smile, and solemnly bowed to Liu Ying according to the etiquette for celebrities who were recruited by the monarch during the Warring States Period.

"Your Majesty treats his ministers as national scholars. Although ministers dare not call themselves national scholars, they should still repay them as national officials..."

"——Chenli, I wish to follow His Majesty's wishes and become a great son of the Mohist family!"

"Chenli, I would like to drive the chivalrous men of Chu and Mo to the Mo sect, and temporarily abandon the eloquence of Qi and Mo!!"

"From now on, in the next hundred years, the Mohists will not participate in or discuss politics, and the Mohist scholars will not be rewarded, and will not be listed as officials!!!"

"In local counties and counties, Mohist scholars are not senior officials, do not practice Mohism rules, and do not advocate Mohism to communicate with the people; any scholar who wants to enter our Mohist family will be investigated by Zongzheng himself, and his Majesty will personally decide!!!! !!"

"Under the age of ten, all Mohist scholars regard themselves as 'the queen of Luban's craftsman', and never regard themselves as the queen of Mo Di..."
