The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 460: The Position of a Giant
Seeing that Xiangli Sheng was only saying polite words, the Six-Fingered Black Knight smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xiangli, if you have something to say, just speak your mind. Over the years, I have been worried about the development of the Mohist School. Our Mohist School is a famous school in the world. Even if we are separated for some trivial reasons, we are still a family after all."

"The founder worked hard all his life just to make the world a better place. The great wish of all Mohists is that there will be no more disputes in the world. We all want the world to be better and people to live a better life. Brother Xiangli, is what I said true or false?"

Xiang Lisheng looked solemn and nodded: "That's right! I will never forget the teachings of my ancestor."

The six-fingered black knight nodded and said, "In a few years, I will be sixty years old. Thanks to the love of the predecessor and the support of many disciples of the Mohist School, I have been in the position of the leader for nineteen years. In these nineteen years, although I have not achieved much and am unable to support the country and the people, and can only travel around the world, I dare to pat my chest and say that in my life, I have lived up to the heavens and the earth!"

Xiang Lisheng stood up and bowed: "Your reputation for chivalry is known all over the world, and everyone knows it. You have always been public-spirited and righteous, punishing the strong and helping the weak, helping the needy, and personally practicing the Mohist philosophy. Over the past twenty years, the Mohist school has become more and more popular, and you have made an indelible contribution. I admire you too!"

The six-fingered black knight quickly stood up to return the greeting, invited Xiang Lisheng to sit down, and replied: "I don't deserve such praise from Brother Xiangli, I just speak my mind all my life."

The six-fingered black knight sighed and said with a smile: "I was also born in a poor family. I also knew the feeling of being hungry when I was a child. Fortunately, my master accepted me into the Mo Sect, otherwise I would have been a pile of dry bones. I hate to see the poor suffer the most in my life, and I will help them in any way I can."

"It's just that my own strength, or even the strength of the Mohist family, has caused all kinds of suffering in this chaotic world, which is ultimately just a drop in the bucket."

"We Mohists believe in non-aggression and universal love, but in this era of great contention, there is endless chaos. How can we realize the great wish of our ancestors? How can we realize the great wish of Mohists?"

"If we want to achieve true peace for all people and love without aggression, the prerequisite is that there will be no more disputes. If we want the world to be free of disputes, we must first unify it!"

"Today, Qin is the only powerful country in the world, with a holy king in power, hundreds of families helping each other, and all the wise men gathered. The day is just around the corner for the King of Qin to unify the world and comfort the people."

"The world has been in turmoil for five hundred years, and the people are suffering. If the nine provinces can be unified, the people will be able to enjoy peace! This is the common wish of our Mohist founder and all Mohists."

Xiang Lisheng nodded heavily without saying anything.

The six-fingered black knight sighed deeply: "Brother Xiangli, do you know that something big happened in the State of Chu?"

Xiang Lisheng asked, "Master, please speak."

The six-fingered black knight said: "The King of Chu died, Chunshen Jun was killed, and the entire clan was exterminated."

Xiang Lisheng's eyes were shocked: "Is this true?"

The death of the King of Chu was expected, after all, he had been bedridden for a long time, but why was Chunshen Jun killed?

Six-Fingered Black Knight continued, "In order to seize power, Crown Prince Han instructed Li Yuan to plan to exterminate Chunshen Jun's entire clan. Before the late king's body was cold, Chunshen Jun was tricked into the palace and killed. His entire clan was exterminated that day."

Xiang Lisheng was shocked and said, "Why is it so? How could it be so? How could Prince Han do such an unwise thing and destroy his own country?"

The six-fingered black knight smiled bitterly and said, "A tiger father has a dog son. Chunshen Jun has always been neutral, and his achievements are greater than his master. He is deeply rooted in the court of Chu. The new king took this shocking action to seize power. Li Yuan also wanted to replace him, so he followed his lead."

"With a king like this, the day of Chu's demise is not far away."

Xiang Lisheng sighed and said, "I never thought that Chunshen Jun was wise, loyal to the State of Chu, and dedicated to his duties, even offering his own fiefdom, but he ended up like this."

The six-fingered black hero choked up and said, "That's why I am even more worried about the future of the Mohist School in Chu."

"Brother Xiangli, we are a family after all. The mechanical city built by our ancestors is also in Chu. Hundreds of years of hard work and hundreds of years of inheritance cannot be destroyed in my hands!"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight burst into tears and stood up and bowed to Xiang Lisheng.

Xiang Lisheng quickly stood up and dodged, then rushed to the side of the Six-Fingered Black Knight and helped him up.

He said hurriedly, "Master, you are embarrassing me. How can I accept your courtesy? Master, please stand up quickly, please stand up quickly!"

Xiang Lisheng is now completely sure of what the Six-Fingered Black Knight means, which is to make Qin Mo accept Chu Mo as well, and he is willing to humble himself for this purpose.

But this is easier said than done. Xiang Lisheng naturally has the final say in Qin Mo, but Qin Mo does not belong to him alone after all. As the leader of Qin Mo, he has to consider Qin Mo even more.

Although most of the people in Chu Mo are Mo Xia, there are also masters of mechanical engineering who occupy the Mechanical City and have a complete orthodox inheritance.

They have both military force and technology, as well as a huge influence and a large number of people. If they really go to the Qin Dynasty, yes, the Qin Dynasty will be stronger, but Qin Mo will have a hard time. How many jobs will be taken away!
Yes, Daqin is in urgent need of all kinds of talents now, the more the better, but this is only temporary.

Who can be without disciples and descendants?
If we are generous now, what will our descendants eat in the future?
Besides, Chu Mo's power is huge and his people are numerous. If he really joins Daqin, it will be another matter who has the final say among the Mohists of Daqin in the future. After all, the Machinery City has the reputation of a giant.

Moreover, even if the Six-Fingered Black Knight saw everything, that was a matter for the future. Chu Mo was also very powerful now. It was still a question whether they could really do it if they were allowed to enter Qin.

Even if he entered Qin, whether he could work there with peace of mind was another matter.

This is a problem both internally and externally; it is not a simple matter.

Although Qi Mo also has many people who entered Qin, their nature is different. Qi Mo has many academic people, who do not conflict with Qin Mo. In today's flourishing Qin, they are even a supplement to Qin Mo. But Chu Mo is different.

Xiang Lisheng helped the six-fingered black knight up and sighed, "I understand what you mean, but how easy is it?" The six-fingered black knight hurriedly said, "As long as you are willing to accept it, it's fine. We have our own rules in the Mohist school. Qi Mo has already entered Qin. Speaking of it, the world is unified, and our Mohist school should be united again. How can we continue to be divided?"

"I am old, and it is time for me to step down from this position. My brother is now the leader of the Qin Mo School, and is compatible with the Qi Mo School. He is also recognized as the Grand Master of the Mohist School by the world. It is only natural that my brother will be the leader of the Mohists, and no one should object to it."

"I wish to pass on the position of the Great Master to you, my brother, and help you unite the Mohist School again!"

Xiang Lisheng's pupils shrank, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't say anything to refuse.

Giant, the position of a giant.

It has to be said that the chips given by the Six-Fingered Black Knight completely captured Xiang Lisheng, making it difficult for him to refuse.

Since Xiangli Sheng followed Ying Zheng, everything has been smooth sailing for him. He has enjoyed wealth, glory, fame, and reputation.

For public purposes, he holds an important position and is a noble and distinguished person; for private purposes, he is the leader of Qin Mo and a world-famous grandmaster of the Mohist school. When Qi Mo entered Qin, even Qi Mozhao all bowed down to him.

He already lacks nothing.

If there is something missing, it is this position of giant.

Do things in the right way; if the name is not right then the words will not flow.

As a grand master of Mohism and a Mohist, how could one not want to become a great figure of Mohism?
Becoming a leader of the Mohist school and re-merging the Mohist school with the current power of the Qin Dynasty, what a magnificent thing it is!

I will be the greatest Mohist after my great master! I will be the one who recreates the Mohist school!
Xiang Lisheng is very clear that the reason he has come to where he is today is not because of his extraordinary abilities, but simply because he has followed the king, had the opportunity to publish a book, and had the king's strong support.

No matter how high my status and how great my fame is now, it is only temporary. Thousands of years later, I am afraid that no one will read my works. At most, people will record that I was a person who wrote books to promote Mohist thought in a certain period of time.

But if, he became a great master of the Mohist school, and in the name of the great master of the Mohist school, with the help of the great momentum of the Qin Dynasty, he could rebuild the Mohist school, then his own reputation would be truly solidified in the history books and would be prominent in the annals of history.

This is more than just a record-breaking event; it is truly worthy of being written about in a special volume.

Xiang Lisheng couldn't resist this temptation, absolutely couldn't resist it.

Xiang Lisheng asked Six-Fingered Black Knight to sit down and he drank several sips of water to calm down.

Even after I calmed down, I still couldn't say no. My heart was pounding and I couldn't calm down at all.

The master is right. The Mohist School is divided into three factions, but the Mohist School is ultimately one family. Being the head of one family is always better than being the head of a faction!

As the contemporary grandmaster of Mohism, I hold a high position and have the opportunity. As a Mohist, it is my responsibility to unify Mohism!
If I really become a great master, unify the Mohist school, and rebuild the Mohist school, then my lineage will naturally be completely stable, even more stable than it is now.

This should be done, it must be done!
Xiang Lisheng was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Master, this, ah, how can I be so worthy and capable? Master, you are in your prime, how can I take your place?"

How could the Six-Fingered Black Knight, who had experienced many things in the world, not see that Xiang Lisheng was already moved? He had made up his mind before entering Qin this time. It was impossible for him to unify the Mohist School. If he continued like this, he would not even be able to save Chu Mo.

But Xiang Lisheng has the ability and opportunity, and unifying the Mohist School again is also the lifelong wish of the Six-Fingered Black Knight. Even if he does not accomplish it himself, if he can make this happen, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of his lifelong wish.

Anyway, I have been a tycoon for nearly twenty years. If I can help to make this happen, it will be a story that will be passed down through the ages and will go down in history.

It can also preserve the foundation of Mohism and live up to the trust of our ancestors, which is already the best outcome.

The six-fingered black knight hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Brother, you are wrong. I am old. Your name is known all over the world. Everyone in the Mohist School admires you. Even the other schools of thought all praise you. Only with virtue and talent, it is legitimate and reasonable for your brother to sit on the throne of the great master."

"Brother, how can you not care about the Mohist School? As a Mohist, how can you not be responsible for the Mohist School?"

"Now that the world is about to be unified, the Qin Dynasty is flourishing and a hundred schools of thought are contending. There are many rivals. The opportunity cannot be missed. It is a great time for the Mohist School to unite as one and carry forward the Mohist School."

"How can we miss the opportunity to develop our Mohist school because of some internal affairs of our Mohist school? If so, how can we face our ancestors after we die?"

Once this opportunity was given, Xiang Lisheng immediately made up his mind.

Xiang Lisheng said slowly: "The master thinks so highly of me. For the sake of the Mohist School, how can I not obey? We are a family."

"But this matter still depends on the king's will, otherwise it will be difficult to accommodate so many disciples."

"I will meet the king tomorrow and explain this to him. Let's see what he thinks. What do you think?"
