Chapter 754 A Gentleman's Revenge Begins Now
"The Tian family is in power?" Tian Kuo lost his voice and shook his head, "Absolutely not!"
He said seriously: "Juzi, please understand. I, Tian Kuo, became a Mohist not to fight for power and profit, and let the Tian family replace King Chen. It was because I saw too many unfair and cruel things. I knew that the world was about to be in chaos and the chaos would be destroyed overnight. That's why I was thinking hard about a way out. Juzi, your ideas of loving each other, benefiting each other, respecting the virtuous and the same, and not starting unjust wars, etc., moved my heart. I felt that today is right and yesterday is wrong. I just want to revitalize the State of Chen, spread the Mohist doctrine to the world, end wars, and welcome the prosperous times together."
Yes, it's still pure... Meng Qi nodded slightly, feeling a little moved.
He still walked slowly with his hands behind his back, his tone was low, but with a smile: "If it's beneficial, what's the harm of being slandered by the world?"
"Huh?" Tian Kuo was stunned, not knowing why.
In front of him, Meng Qi was wearing a dark robe with long sleeves hanging down, walking slowly: "The Tian family is in power, not for themselves, but for the benefit of the people of Chen State. Why not? Could it be that you, Tian Kuo, are worried about being slandered by others and are concerned about your reputation, so you are unwilling to do this kind of thing that benefits both sides?"
Tian Kuo's expression changed slightly, and he murmured to himself, so what if it is slandered all over the world? So what if it is slandered all over the world?
After a while, he took two quick steps and rushed to Meng Qi, with a solemn and respectful expression, and bowed with great ceremony: "Juzi's words are subtle and righteous, and he has seen through Tian's heart of seeking fame and reputation. I respectfully accept this teaching. If it can benefit Chen State and everyone, what does it matter if it is slandered all over the world?"
Meng Qi nodded slightly: "The Tian family is in power, not to replace Chen, but the current few families are arrogant and extravagant, hate Mohism, are short-sighted, and only care about themselves. At the critical moment, they suddenly changed into the royal family of Chu and Tang, and the fall of Chen State has nothing to do with them."
Tian Kuo said thoughtfully: "Does Juzi mean to get rid of the Wang family and the Gongyang family?"
"At the beginning, Chen State had hope for revival, and the country was strong and the people were rich, but they colluded with Jin Guangdong to destroy it. Now they are still sucking the blood and marrow of Chen State, and they don't repent. This is unjust and they should be killed!" After the Mohist doctrine was formed, Meng Qi paid great attention to his words and deeds. Every word and every move must be in line with this doctrine, or he can find a strong reason to explain it, otherwise the Mohists who followed him and others would doubt and waver, and the upper and lower levels would be divided.
Although he was just to complete the task at the beginning, after changing their views and gathering them together, he had a responsibility, which came from their wholehearted trust and selfless responsibility.
They are not objects, but living people. He can't always lead them, but at least he has to leave an image that makes them "no regrets".
Alas, if it was an evil way, there would be no such psychological burden... Meng Qi sighed secretly. Knowing oneself, illuminating the soul, perfecting the soul, and improving the soul are themselves an important aspect of martial arts practice. Many strong people have loopholes in their hearts, so that they are defeated by the weak.
Tian Kuo nodded heavily: "This is unjust, he should be killed!"
He personally experienced the incident at the beginning, and felt extremely happy when Meng Qi killed Gong Yangzeng.
After saying that, he suddenly became embarrassed: "My Tian family is almost the same..."
"If you want to repent and make amends, it's not too late, and this matter will benefit your Tian family without any harm." Meng Qi stood beside the mountain road, with endless fields in front of him, lush and green. "Jinguandong is powerful, and reform in the name of Mohists will definitely not work. But if the Tian family is in power and takes a moderate policy, only doing things, not promoting Mohism, how can Jinguandong pay attention? Isn't the national policy of abolishing customs taxes adopted by nearby countries?"
Tian Kuo gathered his thoughts, holding paper and pen in both hands, listening attentively and recording quickly, for fear of missing a word. When he was young, he was taught by his father about civil and military affairs, but he didn't see him so attentive.
"To punish the unjust and benefit everyone is definitely not a banquet, singing and dancing, there must be bloody fights, once weak, it will be many Mohists who die." Meng Qi sighed.
Tian Kuo's face was filled with grief. In the past two or three years, dozens of Mohists he knew had died for their faith. He had long realized the difficulty and cruelty of spreading Mohism and benefiting the world. He was no longer the naive young man he had been.
"Jin Guang Cave is outside. If Mohists are involved, they will be extinguished by thunder. Only the Tian family can take action and use the name of internal strife to conceal the truth." Meng Qi's tone gradually became serious.
Jin Guang Cave is a secular Taoist sect. As long as it does not involve their interests, why would they care about secular coups?
Meng Qi's thoughts were clear, and he spoke fluently: "Once the Tian family succeeds, the Wang family and the Gongyang family will be uprooted, including the royal family that depends on them, so that many resources and many official positions will be freed up, and the Tian family can select talents and talents in the name of making up for the loss of Chen State, open public schools, and cultivate outstanding warriors, so that people will not be associated with Mohism."
"The weak Chen State can also take the opportunity to announce to the surrounding small countries that it will not be attacked or invaded. In the eyes of the Tang State, the Chen State without a master and calmed down is no different from other small countries, and then secretly send lobbyists to bribe the important officials of the Tang State, so that there will be no worries for a while."
"When the foundation of Chen State is stable and it has a good relationship with both sides, it can wait for a good opportunity to sell itself for a good price, so that the royal family and the Tian family can at least keep the resources and food."
Tian Kuo was listening with high spirits, but the last sentence was like a blow to the head, making him almost think he heard it wrong. Isn't it to save Chen State?
Meng Qi turned around and looked at him: "The world's momentum has shifted, and Chen has missed its chance. With its current weakness, it is impossible to catch up, unless there is a genius who can achieve enlightenment within ten years."
"Yes, with the assistance of Wu Hao, the King of Wu defeated the rebels in a year. Now that he has rested and recuperated, he has received support from many Taoist sects and Buddhist sects. He is encroaching on the southern countries and is forcing other powerful countries to make more or less changes." Tian Kuo exhaled, feeling heavy-hearted.
Meng Qi smiled and said, "There is no need to be so depressed. If our Mohist School rises in Qi and revives Qi, we will have the power to destroy injustice. By then, all Mohists in the world will be one family, loving each other and benefiting each other. Chen may be able to retain the title."
Tian Kuo's eyes lit up and his mood became excited. At the same time, he also felt that the identity of Mohists transcended the boundaries of family and country.
"Juzi, how should we act specifically?" he asked.
"Convince your father to take action during the discussion of state affairs and wipe out the Wang family and Gongyang family. Then inform all countries and Jinguandong that the Wang family colluded with the remnants of Yuxu and tried to seize power. They first unexpectedly destroyed the Gongyang family, and then due to internal strife, they were wiped out by the Tian family and affiliated families. Now the Tian family respects King Chen and relies on Chu and Jinguandong, just like in the past. We sincerely ask Chu and Jinguandong to send strong men to temporarily garrison Chen to prevent other small countries from taking advantage of the fire." Meng Qi said calmly, and the last expression of loyalty was the meaning of the title.
Tian Kuo pondered the plan while saying: "After Gongyang Zeng and his son were killed by you, Juzi, their strength was greatly reduced. Jinguandong was very angry and sent a top strong man to protect Gongyang family and urge Chendi to search for Mozhe. It is said that he was the direct disciple of the original Chixia Taoist priest."
"That's great." Meng Qi was quite surprised.
Tian Kuo didn't notice his mood change: "Where did the remnants of Yuxu come from?"
Jinguan Cave and Chu State are not so easy to deceive!
"Of course it's Su." Meng Qi pointed at himself, showing a hint of smile, meaningfully, "When the time comes, you will inform Jinguan Cave of the escape clues and news of the remnants of Yuxu."
The kindness of Chen Wang's recognition and the disaster of his tragic death have not been fully repaid!
No, this matter is not enough to sharpen myself!
…………
In the court hall, the young contemporary Chen Wang was in a high position, his eyes were dull, and he was drowsy. Below, the Grand Tutor Wang Dan, the Grand Sikou Tian Heng, the Grand Sikong Gongyang Gao and others were discussing state affairs. The top master of Jinguan Cave, Yu Ziheng, was sitting cross-legged next to him, holding a sword, leaning against a pillar, his eyes half open and half closed, as if he was wandering in the sky.
Tian Heng held the file and was furious: "In the past few days, many evil things have happened in Shangying, which frightened merchants!"
"How can bandits be banned?" Wang Dan was old, his eyes were drooping, and his tone was calm.
"More than bandits?" Tian Heng turned to his son and said, "Read the details."
The young Sikou Tian Kuo said seriously: "There are children of the Wang family whipping slaves in the street, and the means are cruel."
"It's said that they are slaves. Whether they live or die, what does it have to do with outsiders?" Wang Dan was calm and secretly speculated in his heart. The Tian family suddenly took this matter to make trouble. Could it be that they want to exchange some benefits?
Tian Kuo didn't say much, and continued to read: "There are children of the Wang family bullying merchants in the restaurant and kidnapping singing girls."
"I have asked people to punish them, and the punishment is not for the doctor." Wang Dan was slightly annoyed. The Tian family was targeting him.
Tian Kua read out all the evil deeds of the Wang family and Gongyang family, and finally turned to Chen Wang and said, "The prosperity of Shangying is hard-won, and these bad apples must be eliminated quickly."
Little Chen Wang was startled and woke up from his dream. He wiped the unknown liquid from his mouth and looked at Tian Kua blankly, wondering why he asked for his instructions today?
"How dare you!" Wang Dan and Gongyang Gao shouted.
"Today's court meeting ends here." Wang Dan brushed his wide robe and walked out the door. He didn't know the purpose of the Tian family, so he interrupted it first and then made plans.
Suddenly, he slowed down his pace and saw a young man in ancient clothes and a high crown at the door of the hall. The color was dark black, which made him look calm and simple, and his face was unfamiliar.
"Who are you? Trespassing into the forbidden area!" Wang Dan said sternly.
Meng Qi put his hands behind his back and looked at him straight in the eyes: "Get rid of the bad apples."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and covered it from top to bottom. His five fingers were like jade, covered with a layer of fluorescence, full of the terrible momentum of vicissitudes and wildness.
The world became dark. Under the heavy force, the void around him was shrinking, emitting a terrible attraction. Wang Dan wanted to retreat, but he couldn't help but face it. The shrinking and twisted void made his body heavy and his movements slow. He wanted to take out the hidden treasure, want to perform magical skills, and skills, but it was all slow!
In his sight, the white palm became bigger and bigger, filling his sight, as if it had a demonic nature, and then slapped his forehead.
Crack!
The light shield that was triggered by the stress shattered, Wang Dan's forehead cracked, his brain burst out, and his body collapsed to the ground, without a single intact bone.
"Turning the Sky Seal? The remnants of Yuxu!" Yu Ziheng, a disciple of Jinguang Cave, jumped up, with a bit of panic in his tone!
My condition is slowly recovering. The updates for the remaining two days this week will be at 12:30 noon and 19:00 pm. I will use the nights for adjustments, and will make up for the overdue updates later. Best regards.
