The Hao Pond is located near the site of Haojing, the old capital of the Zhou Dynasty. Nowadays, the city-state of the illustrious Zhou Dynasty can no longer be seen. All we can see are elk wandering among the ruins, and a field of golden millet, standing on the roof of an abandoned water mill beside the pond.

, you can also catch a glimpse of the Afang Palace under construction in the distance, where 100,000 people are working hard. Novel .

As night fell, four black figures approached the abandoned mill one after another. They met by the pond and then walked into the mill. They saw a person waiting inside. With the last light before nightfall, they could see clearly that this was

The eldest disciple of Qin Mo giant Cheng Shang: Shi Lin.

"Shi Lin, did you send the black paper kite?"

The leader of the four was lame, named Yang Yi. He took out the black paper kite from his arms and held it between his two fingers.

The paper is dark brown in color and is made using a special method. The folding method is very special. Only those who know how to fold it can accurately fold it in one step. This is the secret code for the Young Masters in the Mohist family to communicate with each other and gather together.

No need to be surprised, the Mohists are a well-structured organization. They once had powerful weapons that made the princes look at them. Although the number is small, only 180 people, they cannot withstand the advanced technology, and they are all dedicated to the ideals of the Mohists.

Fighting can make you go through fire and knife, and you will die without hesitation!

Later, although the Mohist school split and declined and was no longer a prominent school, Qin Mo, who took root in Yongzhou, still retained strict discipline. In recent years, Qin Mo's internal divisions have become increasingly serious, and the young faction can't stand the inaction of the giant Cheng Shang.

, and followed the ancient path and started a secret society.

"Yes, I did it."

Shi Lin's expression was a little sad: "The day before yesterday, I sent three brothers who were sent to Lingnan to do hard labor to Baqiao. They returned them today. I have given them the clothes that the second and third sons asked me to send."

It turned out that in mid-March, the Mohist family was asked by the Shaofu to send people to the Lishan Mausoleum to provide advanced technology and help the craftsmen solve engineering problems: it is said that the Lishan Mausoleum has been built to the key underground palace, and the depth has reached three springs, and the mercury

He imbued hundreds of rivers and seas with the mechanism, astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, and ordered craftsmen to make mechanical crossbow arrows...

These incredible ideas require Mohist technology to realize them.

But helping the monarch build a mausoleum is contrary to the philosophy of Mohist. Among the ten principles of Zi Mozi, frugal burial and frugal use are extremely important.

Although the tycoon Cheng Shang decided to obey the order of the Shaofu and send his disciples to assist, when the three disciples arrived, they were surprised by the scale of Lishan Mountain and the amount of money and labor consumed, which was far beyond the bottom line of what Mohists could tolerate.

, after discussion, they refused to cooperate and decided to imitate Mozi’s disciple Gao Shizi and betray his fortune for the sake of righteousness...

This was a big mistake. Zhao Gao, the deputy supervisor of Lishan Mausoleum, deliberately complicated the matter and asked the Mohists: "Is His Majesty's law more powerful, or the meaning of the Mohist scriptures?"

Although the three Mohists were stubborn, they were not stupid and kept silent. However, they were arrested by Zhao Gao and reported to Qin Shihuang, saying that the Mohists believed that the court was unjust and did not provide technology. How could Qin Shihuang care about such a trivial matter? He waved his hand again.

Order Tingwei to deal with it.

In the end, the three of them were sentenced to the same sentence as Xi and were sent to Lingnan to serve as secretaries because the Marquis of Changnan had just requested from Qin Shihuang that Panyu would build a shipbuilding workshop and needed the help of Mohists and craftsmen...

From the perspective of the wealthy man Cheng Shang, this was the commutation he had obtained after arguing with the Tingwei and the Shaofu several times. However, the young men in Qin Mozhong did not think so.

“That’s really good!”

Yang Yi walked lamely to the stone mill, punched it on the head, and gritted his teeth and said: "Zimozi said, nothing should be valued more than righteousness! There are many people who betray righteousness and yearn for salary, but there are very few people who refuse salary and yearn for righteousness. Three

Although people have traveled far, they are worthy of the name of Mohists, but the giants are too weak."

After saying this, he raised his head and said: "Shi Lin, Cheng Juzi is your master, what do you think?"

"We are all dissatisfied with the giants, otherwise we would not be able to connect with each other and make a difference."

After experiencing the innocent exile of his brothers, Shi Lin had a profound enlightenment. There was no longer confusion in his eyes, and he said to the four of them:

"I asked you to come here today because I have something to discuss with the Second and Third Sons!"

By this time, it was completely dark, and the five of them could only huddle together and whisper.

Shi Lin said: "Zimozi said in "Universal Love" that those who do things for benevolent people must seek to bring benefits to the world and eliminate harm to the world. I dare to ask two or three sons, before unification, which harm to the world is greater?

"

Yang Yi said: "The harm to the world at that time was naturally that big countries attacked small countries, everyone disrupted small families, the strong robbed the weak, the masses oppressed the few, deception led to foolishness, and the nobles despised others."

Shi Lin said: "However, what caused this is that the world is divided into seven countries. The princes compete for power and use their weapons, poison, water and fire to kill each other. The world is unified. If the merger can be completed and the seven countries become one country,

Then the disputes will be eliminated. In order to achieve 'songyong', we, Qin Mo, will not hesitate to violate the meaning of 'non-attack' and help Qin Tianxia..."

This process was bloody. Shi Lin and the four people present, except for Yang Yi, who was born and raised in Guanzhong, were all orphans left over from the war. They knew how much the reunification had cost.

Out of guilt over his violation of "non-aggression", Qin Mo adopted the homeless people, raised them, and taught them the Mohist scriptures. Everyone's sense of identity with the Mohist family was far greater than that of Qin.

"But what about now? The princes have been destroyed, and feudalism has been abolished in counties and counties, but wars have not been eliminated. In the past, the people of the seven kingdoms resented each other, and the people were still poor and precarious. However, the court became more and more extravagant, taxing miscellaneous labor, making the world boil.

"

Shi Lin glanced at the crowd and asked vigorously: "I dare to ask the two or three sons, at this time, which one is causing the greatest harm to the world?"

The four of them opened their mouths, but none of them said anything.

"Don't dare to say?"

Shi Lin smiled: "Then I will say it for you!"

He stood up and jumped onto the millstone. His face was distorted with anger, and he said in a suppressed voice: "Nothing can cause greater harm today than the unkindness of a ruler! Nothing can cause greater harm today than your Majesty's arrogance."

Brutal!"

"The First Emperor of Qin, he is the greatest danger to the world today!"

…

This statement was like a stormy wave! It swept everyone's hearts and minds. Even if they had complaints against the imperial court, no one dared to say it due to the authority that the emperor had established over the years.

But after all, they are the Mohists who were scolded by Mencius as "without a father and without a king"! Within the Qin Dynasty system, who else should figure this out most, besides the Mohists?

After a brief silence, Zhao Yin, an orphan who had been rescued from the ruins of Handan by the former tycoon "Tang Fuzi" many years ago, boldly asked: "May I ask Shi Lin, how can we get rid of this great harm today?"

?”

Shilin's answer once again caused a stir.

"Kill him!"

"ah!"

Even though they were prepared, the four of them could not help but take a few steps back. Some people immediately lay down by the window and looked outside guiltily, fearing that they would be dead if they were eavesdropped. Others were close to the wall, wondering if they should do it at this time.

Time to run away...

Qin Law, if you don’t report the suggestion of rebellion to the official, you will be implicated!

But Shi Lin was aggressive and continued to say these words, which were enough to dismember him and wipe out the three tribes!

"A Confucian scholar once asked Zi Mozi: In the past, when Yu conquered the Miao Dynasty, Tang conquered Jie, and King Wu conquered Zhou, why were they all established as sage kings?"

"Zimozi said, this is not called 'attack', but 'kill'!"

"Confucian scholars believe that punishing the superior and punishing the inferior is called killing. But we, the Confucian scholars, think otherwise. As long as the punishment is violent and unjust, it is punishment!"

Mohist punishment has nothing to do with rank, but is the punishment of justice for injustice.

The lowly Guizhou prisoner, faced with the cruelty of the princes and generals, fought hard to kill him, which is also justice!

It’s no wonder that Mencius, who also agreed with “killing a husband”, had nothing to do with the Mohists’ punishment of violence and scolded them: “Without a father and a king, they are just like beasts.”

After Mozi's death, the Mohist school split, and the teachings of each faction deviated. Among them was the "Xia Mo" group. They lived in plain clothes, helped the poor, killed cruel officials, and eliminated tyranny. They hoped that the light of universal love could shine on the suffering people.

.

But of course, this faction was suppressed by the princes and attacked by other Mohist factions, and soon died out.

However, today, the banner of punishing violence was once again carried by a young disciple of Qin Mo:

Shi Lin's eyes were fearless, he walked towards the four people and said plausibly:

"As a monarch, even if he is an emperor, if he imposes tyranny and does not repent and refuses to listen to repeated advice, it is natural that he will be punished by everyone! This is to eliminate harm to the world!"

"No!"

The first person to refuse was the lame Yang Yi.

He blocked his ears with both hands and kept shaking his head.

"Although I am a Mohist, I am also a Qin person in Guanzhong. I am not one of those assassins who think about the Six Kingdoms all day long. I will not rebel against Qin or overthrow the country of my parents!"

"I will pierce my eardrums, bite off my tongue, pretend I didn't hear anything, and I won't report you!"

As he said this, he was about to leave the mill. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into someone!

…

A figure suddenly appeared outside the door. Except for Shi Lin, everyone in the mill was shocked, thinking that their words had been eavesdropped.

But the man at the door raised the open flame in his hand, waved it in front of his face, then threw it to the ground and stamped it out.

Everyone had seen his face clearly, and Yang Yi was the most surprised.

"Tang...Mr. Tang."

The visitor was none other than Tang Duo, who had a conversation with Hei Fu at the Yangcheng Wall with Cheng Shang many years ago. But unlike Cheng Shang who became Hei Fu's friend, Tang Duo became a guest of Prince Fusu and is now in Shaofu.

Serving, he is Qin Mo's second-in-command and the soul of the Young Heroes sect.

"Yi, you are wrong, very wrong!"

Tang Duo stepped into the mill and forced Yang Yi back.

"Zi Mozi once said that when you look at other people's country, you look at your own country; when you look at other people's homes, you look at your own family; when you look at other people's bodies, you look at your own bodies. This is the Mohist philosophy of mutual love and mutual benefit."
