The Master of the Kingdom - Chapter 121

In front of Su Yi, Yi Ran was a sensible, straightforward and good boy, but in front of outsiders, he was very arrogant and domineering. There were many elders from the previous dynasty who wanted to support him in fighting for the crown prince. Later, seeing Yi Ran look like this, they gave up. However, after Yi Ran was “instructed” by Su Yi, no longer wearing a mask and starting to do things seriously, some former elders or speculators wanted to make trouble.

In response to this, Yi Ran waved his horse whip again and declared to everyone that even though we are sensible, our arrogant temperament has not changed. It’s just that if you don’t commit a crime, I won’t commit a crime.

Yi Ran has always been in charge of the new grain promotion. This time, His Majesty transferred Yi Ran to Qingzhou on the pretext of promoting corn in Qingzhou. After all, salt or something is still too sensitive.

Although Yi Ran’s mother was embarrassing, and the cause of death was also embarrassing, Yi Ran himself was still very favored. In the past few years, everyone with eyes has seen it. Moreover, those who wanted to provoke Yi Ran and the prince found out that although the two of them were arguing with each other anytime and anywhere, if someone attacked any of them, the other would immediately change the target and beat the outsider first.

Of course, many people think that this is because they are still young. As they grow up, Yi Ran knows the taste of power, and the relationship with the prince will deteriorate.

This will not be mentioned for the time being. I’m just saying that although the second prince has not been crowned king, the emperor’s love for him is obvious to all, and no one will despise him. The king was not appointed because the emperor was still thinking about the king who was appointed by the prince.

Therefore, Yi Ran came to Qingzhou because of smooth sailing. Let’s talk about what happened later when doing things, but during the journey, there shouldn’t be anything wrong.

But Su Yi was really surprised that Yi Ran interrupted a human leg.

“Who would provoke the second prince with so little eyes?” Su Yi asked curiously.

Mu Yan leaned on Su Yi’s shoulder and said, “Why don’t you know that he took the initiative to look for things?”

Su Yi looked at Mu Yan and said nothing.

Mu Yan snorted coldly and said, “Because the carriage broke down, I stayed at the inn for one more day. His Royal Highness went out and strolled around and saved a person who had been beaten up. As a result, the boy who beat him didn’t have eyes, thinking We fought together with His Royal Highness the second prince, and we kicked it to the iron plate.”

Su Yi opened his eyes wide and said, “A beautiful woman was saved?”

Mu Yan said, “Men.”

Su Yi was puzzled: “With the character of the second prince, he probably wouldn’t take the initiative to look for things.”

“Then you have to ask him to find out.” Mu Yan said.

Su Yi thought for a while, and said, “Since this has happened, should we pick it up… Well, you are busy at work, and there are many people staring at you, let me go.”

Mu Yan said, “I was going to go, so I will help him with the aftermath.”

Su Yi laughed: “Yes, this matter still needs to be dealt with. Even the prince can’t beat people around, let alone the second prince, Qingzhou has serious business to do.”

Mu Yan said, “You mean, you have to go if I go?”

Su Yi said: “On the salt field, they only need to slowly explore how to increase the output; on the glass workshop, the craftsmen have also found ways to increase the output and quality; the shipyard is still studying new drawings; as for weapons Over there, it is the place you care about. I am fine anyway. Most of the experimental equipment is stuck in the road with His Royal Highness, so let me go.”

I didn’t bring most of the things in my house when I left, and I took them slowly by water after the beginning of the spring. Yi Ran came here this time, and he was on the way, and someone could help **** him.

Although Mu Yan didn’t want to see Su Yi and Yi Ran at all, but sooner or later they would have to meet each other, a few days early and a few days later, there seemed to be no difference under the premise that he could not see Su Yi himself. Mu Yan agreed.

This happened to Yi Ran. As the governor of a state and the emperor’s trusted favor, Mu Yan would go to meet Yi Ran and erase the negative impact of this incident. It was quite normal.

The place where Yi Ran stayed was half a day away from the state capital. That night, Su Yi met Yi Ran. Yi Ran was in good spirits, and he was not ashamed of hitting someone at all.

There is really no guilt…

“What’s the matter? Who made you so angry?” When Su Yi got out of the carriage, Yi Ran was waiting for him in the courtyard of the inn.

When seeing Su Yi, Yi Ran obviously showed a surprised look: “Master Dao, why are you here?”

Su Yi squinted and said with a smile: “Let’s see what you are doing.”

Since Su Yi came, Yi Ran didn’t bother to be polite with Mu Yan, and immediately smiled and leaned to Su Yi’s side, and took Su Yi’s arm and said, “Isn’t he just a person who doesn’t have long eyes. It’s cold outside, and Dao Chang enters the house quickly.” sit.”

Mu Yan followed behind them and sighed depressed.

That’s why he didn’t deal with Yi Ran.

“I went out and wandered around at random, and saw someone gathering to fight, so I was curious to go over and see, who knew it was a group of people beating one person.” Yi Ran poured water for Su Yi himself, and Su Yi accepted it with a smile.

“Then you saw the uneven road, did you draw your sword to help?” Su Yi said, “I haven’t seen you so passionate on weekdays.”

Yi Ran raised his eyebrows and said: “Who made me hear that kid’s mouth is dirty?”

Su Yi laughed and said, “Who arranged it?”

“It must be you.” Mu Yan interrupted, “His Royal Highness was so angry that the second prince was interrupted by the nonsense, and he dared to get the person who was talking nonsense, that is, you.”

Yi Ran nodded and said, “I’m really tired of living.”

Su Yiyu said sincerely, “I am just a little Taoist priest. If you believe it, you will be close. If you don’t believe it, you will be insulted. It is not good. Even your Majesty, there will be people whispering in the back. Even a saint will dislike and disrespect him. People, why are you so angry?”

“It won’t be made if I hear it.” Yi Ran said in his heart, who made the person’s mouth dirty, said that Su Yi had nothing to do, said that Su Yi followed Mu Yan like this, in fact, it was Mu Yan’s male favorite, maybe it was Mu Yan Jin’s dedication. Your Majesty, the male favorite of the two. When Yi Ran heard this, he only abolished the man’s leg, which was considered very restrained.

However, he would never say this, and it would smear Su Yi’s ears.

Thinking of this, Yi Ran gave Mu Yan a gloomy look.

Mu Yan glanced at Yi Ran calmly, then retracted his gaze.

The empress had known about him and Su Yi, and had already acquiesced in it. After all, he has decided not to have an heir, and Su Yi also does not want an heir because he is afraid of trouble. Since the two do not need an heir, it doesn’t matter even if a man falls in love.

In this era, it is not uncommon to break the sleeves and divide the peaches, but they need offspring. Since the child step is omitted, the mistress does not need to have it.

In this era, there are many people who never marry in their entire lives.

It’s just that the empress asked Mu Yan to conceal the matter, and not to make Su Yi feel aggrieved at all. If there is any rumors, the emperor and empress will stop them.

The prince and Yi Ran also knew about this. Although they were very dissatisfied, the empress said that in the end, it depends on Su Yi herself. If Su Yi is willing, then don’t intervene. The prince and Yi Ran are silent, and just take action. A few traces of depressed resentment.

Speaking of it, the emperor’s family is more enlightened than modern in this respect, but this is based on the extreme guilt of Su Yi.

Su Yi said that he would not marry a wife or an heir. The empress family believed that Su Yi was worried that his eldest son’s identity would have problems after being stabbed out by someone with a heart. After persuading many times to no avail, the empress thought that if Su Yi had a lifelong person, it wouldn’t matter whether it was a man or a woman. What’s more, Mu Yan is very good and can help Su Yi.

This mentality is about the same as marrying a daughter.

Although Yi Ran knew about Mu Yan and Su Yi, no one knew except their family and Mu Yan himself. But when I heard this kind of remarks, I still felt angry.

When Mu Yan knew that Yi Ran was “causing trouble”, he knew why the man had his leg broken. He came this time to clean up the mess for Yi Ran and also to settle the accounts.

As for Yi Ran’s dissatisfaction with him and Su Yi, he didn’t care if Su Yi himself had agreed.

Su Yi was curious as to what bad things the man said about him, but Yi Ran didn’t say anything.

Mu Yan said: “Probably it means you are trying to get your reputation, or you are a liar.”

Su Yi said: “In the past, people in Beijing often said this. I thought you were used to it.”

Yi Ran followed Mu Yan’s words: “It used to be before, now is now, can it be the same? Now the Daoist is a celestial master who is pro-appointed by the court, and there are still people who are talking nonsense.”

Su Yi said: “You are free. He Qing, how should this matter be handled?”

Mu Yan said: “Beating against people is a violation of the king’s law, and insulting the celestial master is even more sinful, and disturbing and trying to attack the second prince is even more serious. Naturally, I personally asked the teacher to ask the crime.”

Yi Ran said coldly: “I’ll go too.”

Su Yi pointed to herself: “Should I go?”

Mu Yan said helplessly: “Of course you won’t go.”

How could Su Yi go about this kind of wicked thing?

Su Yi said with resentment: “You must be talking about it all day, then I’m not very boring.”

Yi Ran said: “I rescued the person who was also in the inn, saying that he came to go to the Heavenly Master. I chatted with that person, and I heard that his ancestor seemed to be a descendant of the Mo family. He came to join the Taoist Master this time, and he brought it with him. The book “Mozi” that has been lost among the people.”

Because in chatting with Su Yi, Yi Ran once heard that Su Yidao doesn’t care how Mozi thought he is, but he is beneficial to the development of science and technology. It is a pity that “Mozi” was lost. Therefore, after Yi Ran listened to what the man said, he deliberately stayed in the inn to recuperate, and Yan would directly take him to see Su Yi.

Yi Ran thought, Su Yi would definitely be interested in this gift.

Su Yi was really interested. It was late today, and the man was hurt again, so he was inconvenient to bother. He decided to meet the man the next day. It would be better if the person had something with him, and he would not be bored that day. It would be better if the person’s injury improves, and we can talk about it.

On the second day, Mu Yan and Yi Ran went to Xingshi to ask their guilt. It’s such an arrogant and damning ruling class even if I break someone’s legs. And Su Yi enthusiastically went to meet the suspected descendant of the Mo family who was going to defect to him.

In the period of the Hundred Schools of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Mohist school was as famous as Confucianism and Taoism. Even in the Mencius period, Mohism had a greater influence than Confucianism, and because of its many thoughts and Confucianism, it was the greatest enemy of Confucianism. Mencius attacked the Mohist school many times in his book, and you can think of the influence of the Mohist school at that time.

At that time, Mozi was a great saint who was as famous as Confucius, even better than Confucius.

However, at the turn of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Mo family declined. When Sima Qian was writing “Records of the Historian,” the Mohist family even disappeared. Even Sima Qian who wrote historical materials that were so detailed that they were suspected of lying under the emperor’s bed and peeking daily on the beams found that they could write very little.

As one of the earliest scientific groups in ancient China, Su Yi is of course very interested in Mohist legends. The sudden disappearance of the Mo Family may be a group that was too close to them, although it was easy to cling to each other and it was easy to be swept away, and his thoughts were somewhat unacceptable to the emperor and the people at that time.

Su Yi thought that at this time, there was no trace of the Mo family. He didn’t expect that there would be a descendant of the Mo family to vote. He heard that he still brought the complete Mo family classics. How could this make Su Yi not happy.

I don’t know if the Mohist school is as miraculous as the legend, and has already produced many advanced equipment.

When Su Yi came to the man’s room, the man just woke up.

The man’s name was Yang Xu, and he looked quite young, but his hands were full of calluses, and he seemed to work a lot. Yang Xu’s clothes have been changed, but I heard that although Yang Xu’s clothes are not very luxurious, they do not look bad.

Since Yi Ran had rescued the person, he naturally ordered people to take good care of him. Yang Xu was given food and water every day, and someone helped to wipe his body and hair. Therefore, when Su Yi saw Yang Xu, Yang Xu looked neat and tidy. Although his face was paler, he was still in good spirits.

When Su Yi entered the house, Yang Xu thought it was Yi Ranli and was about to salute, but he found that it was a young man in a long gown, and he was immediately puzzled.

“Poor Dao Suyi.” Su Yi said straightforwardly, “Jushi Yang, how good is your health?”

Yang Xu was shocked and immediately struggled to salute.

“You don’t need to be polite, the wound will open and it will be bad. Pang Dao is no more than an ordinary Taoist priest.” Su Yi motioned to others to hold Yang Xu and let him lie down again.

Yang Xu smiled bitterly and said: “It is really embarrassing to let the heavenly master see Caomin so embarrassed.”

Su Yi smiled and said: “The embarrassed person should be the perpetrator. What embarrassment does the victim have?”

Yang Xu loosened his eyebrows and said, “Heavenly Master Gaode, it’s the grass-minded people.”

Su Yi said, “Are you a descendant of the Mo family?”

Yang Xu said, “Exactly.”

Su Yi said with emotion: “I heard that the Mohist family has not been born and walked for many years, so Pang Dao thought I had never seen it.”

Yang Xu said with a smile: “Actually, I have been walking outside, but not under the name of the Mo family. After all, the times are different.”

Su Yi nodded and stopped mentioning the matter, but instead asked about Yang Xu’s investment this time.

The Mohist thought was not liked by the emperor. When Qin unified, Mohist suffered heavy losses and temporarily dormant. After the Western Han Dynasty dominated Confucianism, as the Mohist who was criticized many times by Mencius alone, it was naturally hit again.

Now the Mohist school does not actually mention Mohist thoughts, but only inherits the Mohist’s skills.

In fact, this trend was already present in the late pre-Qin Mohist school. The Mohist changed from respecting ghosts to simple materialism, from writing books and talking to starting to study equipment.

This probably has something to do with the fact that the Mo family has always been very pragmatic. At that time, the war became more frequent, and the Mohists were busy making all kinds of equipment to resist Qin’s attacks.

However, Qin finally swept Liuhe, no matter how superb his skills were, he could not stop the car with a mantis arm.

Now there are only a dozen kittens left among the orthodox descendants of the Mohist school. These people don’t mention ideological matters, but just want to find a reliable person to pass on the classics passed down from the Mohist school to this day. If this continues, after their generation disappears, it will be difficult to say whether the Mohist classics will exist in the world.

Without a group to help each other, it would be difficult to preserve so many things with just one person as a family.

The Mo family is now at a critical juncture, and only hopes to pass things on. Even if no one sees it, and no one learns, at any rate, let future generations know that there was once such a school, and there were so many schools of amazing talents that are not inferior to Confucianism and Taoism, and once existed in the world.

There is no printing yet. Although books have gradually become paper, which is much more convenient, books are still copied by hand and it is very difficult to circulate. For these books to circulate, they must all become paper books, and they are not just one. The Mohist people have been doing this kind of work, but it is too difficult for them alone. They can only hope that they are willing to help.

However, in the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was respected. Although it is not regarded as the sole respect of Confucianism, it is also the revival of Taoism. Is there anyone who is worthy of the Mohist family?

But even if hope is slim, they still hope to try it.

As for why they found Su Yi, it is probably because what Su Yi is doing now conforms to their Mohist thinking, and they suspect that Su Yi might be interested in some things about Mohist school. Moreover, Su Yi is a Taoist priest. Although the relationship between Taoism and Mohism is not good, it is not bad. Zhuangzi once evaluated Mozi fairly and objectively.

So after they discussed it, they thought that perhaps Su Tianshi would be more willing to help them than the rest of the powerful. If Master Su is willing to help them, maybe they can be used by the court. Even if you are instructing craftsmen to make all kinds of equipment, they can be regarded as giving the people what they have learned systematically.

Nowadays, the Mohists are not staying behind closed doors. As individuals, they are gradually applying what they have learned to the world.

A group of simple ancient scientists.

Although Mohist made this decision, he felt that he didn’t have much hope. With such a high status as Master Su, how could he receive these little-known pawns, not to mention Mu Yan, who is standing in the way. Hearing that the people received by Master Su Tian will first be screened by Qingzhou Governor Mu Yan. It is said that no one in Qingzhou has ever seen Master Su, how can they meet?

Although Yang Xu is young, his skills and knowledge are among the best in the Mohist school, and he is also the most talkative person in the Mohist school. The Mo family handed over the errand of the temptation to Yang Xu, but he didn’t know that Yang Xu interjected when he heard people insult and slander Su Yi in the restaurant, and was almost beaten to death.

However, if we lose our horses, we will know no good. The man who rescued Yang Xu was actually the second prince Yi Ran. And Yi Ran promised to take Yang Xu to see Su Yi, which made Yang Xu feel that the fight was worthwhile.

With the recommendation of the second prince, he can see Master Su, and the plan will be half successful. As for the remaining half, it’s up to fate.

But Yang Xu obviously had better luck. He didn’t expect Master Su Tian to come in person, and he had a very happy conversation with him. Even Su Tianshi knows a thing or two about Mohist thought.

“Your thoughts are very good, but others can’t do it.” Su Yi sighed, “Since you know that the world is chasing profit, you know that they can’t’commit love’, let alone’non-attack’. And the world has it all. Laziness, even a hardworking person, is for a better and more comfortable life. If the purpose of labor is to work, then no one wants to work. Throughout the ages, only the great sage, the great sage, can only give, not enjoy. But how can everyone be a sage?”

Yang Xu didn’t feel offended after hearing this, but just smiled bitterly.

He could hear that Su Yi was not opposed to Mohist thinking, but was too ideal to do it. This is not offensive.

In fact, why doesn’t the Mo family know? But just like the world of Datong once described by Confucius, they only put forward their ideal world. The reason why it is called the ideal world is that they themselves know that reality does not exist.

“Tianshi, can the Mohist thought be realized in the future?” Yang Xu asked a question he wanted to know but was afraid to know.

Su Yi thought for a while, and said, “In fact, no matter what Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Legalism, etc., their ideal world will not be realized in the future. After all, people are selfish and cannot reach the ideal situation.”

Yang Xu opened his eyes and said, “Really…”

Su Yi said: “Yes. But in the future, it will integrate the ideas of various schools and absorb the strengths of each family. Although it is not a realization, it is an infinite approach. For example, the Mohist’s “honorable”, regardless of the selection of talents. In the future, nobleness is almost realized, at least everyone has a chance. However, people with status must have a higher starting point. After all, the connections are different. But people with a low starting point are not without opportunities. At that time, national leaders It was elected. Of course, to be a national leader, status capital power itself is definitely indispensable, but at least it is not hereditary.”

“The future may still not be an ideal society, but as long as the society is not interrupted by a major disaster, it will always be progressing overall.” Su Yi smiled and said, “It must be much better than modern times. If you were born two thousand years later, your status It’s completely different.”

Scientist.

Yang Xu couldn’t help but smiled bitterly: “Is the heavenly master comforting the grassroots?”

Su Yidao: “If you believe it, then you don’t believe it. Do you need to comfort someone from the poor Dao? The poor Dao is a blow to you. You were born two thousand years ago.”

Yang Xu was silent for a long time, and then laughed out loud, with tears coming out of his laughter: “I believe it! I believe it! As long as the future recognizes our Mo family, what does it matter even for two thousand years?! Our Mo family will eventually be killed. remember!”

Su Yi smiled and said, “That’s natural. Don’t worry about this at all.”

Mohist school is also a big hit in film and television novels.
