Chapter 1197 The Leader of the Mohist School Is Commonly Known as the Black Boss?

Princess Taiping turned and ran away upon hearing this.

If the queen mother had said this to someone else, Taiping would not care at all, and would probably humiliate the other person severely.

Now, the queen mother said this to Yunchu, a fool, and Princess Taiping had no intention of confronting Yunchu except running away.

She was indeed a princess, but unfortunately, princesses were not worth much in the Yun family. Not long ago, Princess Anding, who was born to the same mother as her, was beaten and could not get out of bed for several days.

Even if Princess Anding could not be compared with her, Taiping, what about the prince?

In the past, when the prince was studying in the Yun family, he was beaten because he was very naughty.

For this point, the prince brother has never concealed it. He is even a little proud of it.

Taiping felt that she could tolerate being beaten. What she was afraid of was that the queen mother would throw her to the Yun family to study and be beaten endlessly.

Although Taiping was spoiled, she was also a smart girl. She learned from Shangguan Wan'er, Yun Luan, and Prince Hong what it was like to study in the Yun family. If the tutor Wei Qingcheng who taught her was a strict teacher. Then, for Taiping, entering the Yun family to study was like going to hell. Because the Yun family's education focused on mathematics, the study of things, geometry, economics, and the principles of heaven and earth, these subjects were more difficult to learn than simple Confucian studies. Taiping had seen what Shangguan Wan'er had learned, and it was not enough to describe those subjects as obscure and difficult to understand. The Yun family's doctrine was the Mohist doctrine, which was an evaluation of the Yun family's knowledge by scholars in the Tang Dynasty. As early as the pre-Qin period, Yang Zhu and Mo Di were the leaders of the world's knowledge. "Yang Zhu and Mo Di's words filled the world, and the world's words, if not attributed to Yang, would be attributed to Mo." This was the conclusion drawn by scholars in the Tang Dynasty after studying the little family learning revealed by the Yun family. Taiping was unwilling to enter the Yun family school because she knew the content of the Yun family's education. She was unwilling to spend a lot of time calculating the sum of the interior angles of a triangle, the weight of the Great Tang Dynasty's Moral Heavenly Hub, and other boring questions such as when a person walking from south to north and a person walking from north to south would meet.

Taiping ran away, and Yunchu and Wu Mei didn't care much. If Yunchu suddenly wanted to educate Taiping, she would be caught and taught obediently even if she ran to the ends of the earth.

Yunchu didn't refuse Wu Mei's question about educating Taiping today, which was rare. Unfortunately, Taiping ran away, and Yunchu naturally wouldn't chase her.

Taiping was unwilling to be taught humbly, and Yunchu also met Wu Mei's request. Therefore, he stood up and walked outside Shangyang Palace and untied the rope tied to Shangguan Wan'er.

After roughly checking Shangguan Wan'er's injuries, he lifted her chin and said, "No one's life is more important than your own. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Before doing anything, you must look far enough, especially when doing dangerous things.

Taking risks is the stupidest way to move forward. You may win by luck once or twice, but there are definitely more tests in your life. Every time you gamble with your life, it is highly likely that you will lose your life. When people die, what ideals can you talk about?

Live well, and when you live long enough, you will find that many good things, many good things you have dreamed of before, will be cooked with time, and finally come to you automatically."

Shangguan Wan'er hugged Yun Chu's arm and said, " Father, I want to be an official in the southwest."

Yun Chu nodded, returned to the hall and said to Wu Mei: "Demote this child to the southwest women's district to be a female official. After a few years of hard work, she will be able to serve the queen."

Wu Mei frowned and said: "Women's district?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Both sides of the 1,400-mile road from Baidao to Shitou City are areas where women are in charge. I think it is best to send female officials to govern these places."

Wu Mei suddenly understood and said to Yun Chu with a smile: "1,400 miles?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "There are 670,000 people under his rule."

Yun Chu is now a big shot. Every word a big shot says is a golden word. Just a small suggestion involves the interests of three states and millions of people.

Since it was Yun Chu who proposed to send female officials to the southwest to serve as local officials, then Wu Mei has enough reasons to appoint her own people in front of the emperor and the prince.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.

As the bodies and blood on the open ground of Shangyang Palace were washed away, those who were waiting to be torn apart by five horses were released, and Wu Mei's face was as sunny as a loving mother.

"Your Majesty has ordered the Shaofu Supervisor to arrange the marriage of Anding and Yunjin. Anding is my daughter. What kind of dowry do you think will satisfy Anding?"

Yun Chu frowned and said, "The marriage of the royal daughter should be the business of the Ministry of Rites and the Zongzheng Temple. Why was it handed over to the Shaofu Supervisor?"

Wu Mei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with me. Maybe it has something to do with the debate that will begin in Louguantai. All the power of the Zongzheng Temple has been assigned to the Chongxian Office, and it is unable to arrange Anding's marriage."

This is a return of favor. Yun Chu is very grateful to Wu Mei for her favor. She is ready to meet the emperor and talk about this matter. Although the emperor always looks down on Li Si, he cannot be so partial to this extent that Sisi, a child, can't even be a good bride.

The current state of politics in the country is such that even such a severe drought cannot change the pace of officials' work. It is futile to talk about any changes at this time.

The core focus of the emperor's governance has shifted from external to internal. The Ministry of Rites is stepping up the compilation of the "Great Edict". This thing is the emperor's summary of his decades of experience in governing the world. He is ready to fix his ideas on governing the country in the form of legislation, so that future emperors and court officials can always govern the Tang Dynasty as well as they are now according to this set of things he has compiled.

Emperor Taizong compiled the "Emperor's Model" for Li Zhi. Li Zhi claimed that he relied on the "Emperor's Model" to bring the Tang Dynasty to such a high level. Emperor Taizong had a far-sighted vision, but there were still some subtle points that needed to be improved.

So, Li Zhi prepared to leave a "Great Edict" for Li Hong. The content of the "Great Edict" is in the same vein as the content of the "Emperor's Model", which can be regarded as a royal secret book.

As an important official of the court, Yun Chu naturally had read the content of the "Great Edict" before it was completed.

It's pretty good. Li Zhi's thoughts on governing the country in "The Great Edict" are said to be in line with Taizong's thoughts, but in fact they are completely different. If Emperor Taizong were to be resurrected, he would be angry to death when he saw this "The Great Edict" which is said to be inherited from him.

Li Hong is not a good person either. He claims to be extremely eager for this "The Great Edict", but in fact, he doesn't know how to curse in his heart. His thoughts on governing the country are completely different from Li Zhi's. Of course, because the coordinates are different, his thoughts can't return to the correct direction of Taizong's "The Emperor's Model".

However, Li Zhi is the emperor, and everything he says now is correct.

"Your Majesty, I think the national policy of 'five re-reviews' is extremely correct. This ensures that any death penalty sentence needs to be reviewed multiple times to prevent miscarriages of justice and hasty executions, thereby improving judicial fairness and respect for life.

This is consistent with your majesty's philosophy of governing the country with benevolence and righteousness as the main principle, implementing lenient laws while strictly controlling the judicial process, protecting the lives and rights of the people, reducing false and wrongful convictions, and achieving true justice in the law.

I think it is very necessary to compile this idea into the "Great Edict" so that future kings can learn from it and avoid repeating the mistakes of the tyrannical Qin."

Li Zhi, who was peeling an orange, stopped and said to Yun Chu, who was kneeling opposite him, "Don't talk nonsense. Where was the tyrannical Qin? The taxes during the war were indeed very heavy, but after the war, In order to give the people a rest, the tax is 50% of the tax. The corvée and military service that are criticized by everyone are actually only two years, one year for corvée and one year for military service. The Qin bamboo slips dug out from the tombs in Wohudi said it very clearly.

Even if the people below made mistakes in the execution, from the perspective of the emperor, the First Emperor was not a tyrant. It was just that after Liu Han won the world, he said so in order to maintain the legitimacy of his "comforting the people and punishing the criminals".

The saying of "five crimes" you mentioned was made by our predecessors, but I just issued this decree to the world.

Read more in the future, don't take it for granted and say something nice to achieve your ulterior motives. "

Yun Chu saw that Li Zhi was unwilling to listen to his flattery, so he sighed and said, "Your Majesty, can you stop tossing Sisi? This child, send the Ministry of Rites and the Zongzheng Temple to help, so that this child can marry in style, isn't it good? "

Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu and said: "Your Yun family's knowledge inherited the Mohist doctrine. Do you know why the Mohist doctrine quickly disappeared after the pre-Qin period?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "My knowledge is not from the Mohist school. The Yun family's family school has only one purpose in general, that is, "benefiting the world", and it has been completely and thoroughly separated from the court politics and does not involve national policies. Your Majesty can use it completely and thoroughly."

Li Zhi sighed and said: "You idiot, do you know why Mo Di's words almost disappeared from the world?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "I know a little, but I can't see the whole picture."

Li Zhi sighed and said: "Because Mo Di's doctrine is not good for the imperial power."

Yun Chu was puzzled. Said: "What is good for the world is good for the imperial power."

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "I hate people like you who have only a superficial understanding. You have to be careful. Mohism is very annoying. The core of their doctrine is "universal love", "non-aggression", "respecting the virtuous", "respecting the same", "heaven's will", "understanding ghosts", "non-fate", "non-music", "frugal funerals", "frugal use" and other views.

Universal love is the core, and frugal use and respect for the virtuous are the fulcrums.

You should understand what "respecting the virtuous" and "respecting the same" mean. They believe that the master of the world should be a virtuous person, who should be selected by everyone, not feudal, inherited, or granted by heaven!

Which emperor can accept the abdication of virtuous people and selection?

In addition, due to his origin, Mozi's thoughts naturally represented farmers and handicraftsmen, so at that time, a large number of grassroots people joined his school.

In order to manage these silly disciples, Mozi established his own school rules, and used the students' identity as handicraftsmen to conduct a lot of theoretical research, exploration of things, and especially the research and development of war weapons, and finally formed an armed force independent of the regimes of various countries.

Tell me, which emperor would allow an armed force independent of his own rule to exist?

The State of Chu was going to attack the State of Song, and Lu Ban specially designed and manufactured a cloud ladder for Chu to use in siege.

Mozi got the news and rushed to Chu to dissuade him. He used the tactics and weapons he created to defeat Lu Ban's cloud ladder in the demonstration, and finally forced the King of Chu to give up attacking Song. This is "Mozi Saves Song".

But does the King of Chu prefer Mozi who tried to stop him or Lu Ban who made war weapons for him?

The answer is self-evident.

The position of the Mohists is inherently opposed to the imperial power, so they are opposite to the orthodox Guochao society. Mohists mean black, and the leader of the Mohists is also called a giant. I am willing to call the disciples of the Mohists the underworld.

And the giant of the Mohists can be called the "black boss".

Listen, these three words don't sound like a good thing. If it doesn't die, who will die?

So, Yun Chu, you have to be obedient and study some knowledge that is beneficial to the dynasty. Don't think about it all day long. If you want your knowledge to be passed down through the ages, the first thing you have to do is to benefit the Tang Dynasty!

There is no other way. "
