Chapter 222
: Inner and Outer Sighs
Chapter 222
After speaking, more than a dozen celebrities nearby stood up and said, "I'm willing to go! Is there no loyal person in the Song Dynasty who dares to die?"
These people imitated Gongsun Ze's appearance one after another, cut off a strand of their own hair, handed it to the city patrolman, reported their names, and publicly elected Gongsun Ze as the leader.
Along the way, they beat the city wall again, and gathered 45 people, all of whom were swordsmen, with strong martial arts skills, and rushed towards the palace in the city.
…………
Inside the palace, a small number of soldiers stood guard.
The two Mohists escorted the wounded valet without hindrance.
Seeing that it was the Mohist, the people gave way one after another, without resentment and close to Jin.
Seeing that it was the Mozhe, the nobles only ordered their soldiers not to hurt the Mohist with their hands, and only let them pass by.
Zitian was overjoyed when he saw the Mohist coming, thinking that the Mohist must have agreed to his question.
Whether he was inspiring before or said such a strong word, it was all to establish his image before the valet.
He felt that he knew the rules of the Mohist very well, so he found a reason why the Mohist must intervene: the rebellion of those people was an interference in defending the city.
It is because of this kind of thought that he can stand still and fearless in front of everyone.Only in this way can the loyalty of some people be won.
Whether it is close to Chu or Jin, it is humiliating in his opinion.
He always felt that Shang Tang could use forty chariots to attack Xia Jie, King Wu could burn Lutai with three thousand tigers, and Gou Jian could defeat Wu with three thousand gentlemen, so it is not necessarily true that he has a thousand miles of Song Dynasty. Can't do it.
As for today's matter, he is sure that Mo Zhe will become a sharp blade in his hands, and use it to eradicate those nobles who are extremely unfavorable to him.
Especially his uncle, after all, after the Song Dynasty was a businessman, there was a tradition of brotherhood and brotherhood, and there were coups all year round, and the struggle between father and son brothers never stopped. confusion.
The state of Song has always been Zhou ritual and Yin vulgar. Even the place where the dead are parked is different from the country of Zhou's relatives, so it has become a country of jokes for many countries of Zhou's relatives.
How can you not be happy to think that today you can use the Mohist who is impossible to participate in the coup and remain absolutely neutral to eradicate your most threatening enemy?
But he didn't expect that after the two entered, Zitian's expression changed suddenly when the attendant asked Mozi's three questions, and he was extremely panicked.
He knew that he couldn't show a panicked expression at this time, but the shock in his heart made it difficult for him to control his emotions.
He knew that Mozi had always hoped that the monarch would abide by the morals of the Mohist school, but if it wasn't for the time of the country's subjugation, which monarch would be willing to abide by those things?
Now that Mozi asked him three things, he has not done any of them, so Mozi is actually telling him that Mozi will not help him.
What's more, he didn't expect that he thought he had seen through the Mohist's rules, but in fact he didn't understand at all.
Not to mention the sophistry of the Mohist school, which made it impossible for him to refute: the ban did not say that the people of the country were prohibited from rioting, and if those rebellious nobles were not regarded as a means for the Chu people to attack the city, the Mohist would have no reason to come forward.
However, if those rebellious nobles were regarded as a means for the Chu people to attack the city, it meant that he, the monarch, did not have the power to punish them, and could only be handed over to the Chu people to punish these nobles.
The two Mohists showed no fear, and only asked: "Have you heard the words of the giant, the monarch? Now, please make a decision."
In order for Zitian to make a quick decision, the two Mohist said again: "When we came just now, there were hundreds of soldiers outside the palace and thousands of people."
"The people don't know why they defend the city. If even our Propaganda Department can't convince you, then it's your fault."
Zitian knew that these non-official Mohists had always had no respect for the monarch.
He grew up in the palace, and had seen Mozi or Mozi's disciples many times, spit flying in front of his father, and knew that these Mozi's disciples were not afraid of death at all, and no one else could sway them except Juzi's orders. them.
Zitian took a deep breath, and when he was still hesitating, a soldier rushed over and reported that the soldiers who were making trouble outside had gathered and were demolishing houses to prepare wood to make tools for attacking the palaces in the inner city.
The two Mozi were expressionless, but stood with their swords behind their backs. Zitian's previous bold words disappeared completely with Mozi's reply, leaving only endless anxiety.
He is Song Gong, so he is doomed to be killed if he loses his position and will not even have a chance to escape.
Now he has no other choice. If he doesn't go out and tell the people, the people outside will not believe it.
Say it yourself, it is very likely that you will be shot to death when you just show your head.
Now, Zitian knows that only the Mohists can convince the public.As for how they can convince the public, that's not what he should think about.
It's just that he didn't know what conditions the Mo family wanted him to agree to.It can only be said that as a monarch, you must never listen to some principles of the Mohist school, but now that it is at stake, so what if you don't listen?
While hesitating, he heard shouts from outside, and the sound of wood hitting the palace gate.
Apparently, those rebellious nobles had already begun to attack.
Someone shouted loudly, telling Zitian's crimes as a king.
Such as changing the Yuan when the father died, such as the unequal rewards and punishments, such as listening to the city, such as burying the people of the country for his own selfishness, such as angering the people of Chu that led to the siege of the city...
All these, intermittent voices came in continuously.
Someone vaguely sang that nursery rhyme again, only talking about today's events is to obey the destiny, otherwise how could such a nursery rhyme be spread three years ago?
Zitian was horrified, knowing that there was nothing he could do.
Today is different from previous coups, where the losers of the previous coups can still flee.
But now that the Chu people are besieging the city, once the opponent's coup succeeds, where can he, the monarch, flee to?
Zitian thought to himself, why not agree now, otherwise there is no other way.
As for what to do after agreeing, it may be very troublesome, but at this moment, as if dying of thirst, even if there is a glass of poisoned wine, he can only drink it.
He was about to agree to the two Mohists, but he didn't want to hear the sound of fighting outside again, Zitian stopped when he just reached his lips.
He thought to himself: "Is there any change? If there is a change, why should I agree to Mo Zhe's conditions?"
A soldier rushed over and shouted: "Your Majesty, there is a group of people who are fighting against the rebels. They are extremely brave and are approaching the palace."
When Zitian heard this, he knew that if there were still people fighting at this time, it was obvious that these people were here to rescue him.
He couldn't help thinking of many stories, recalling who had he been kind to?
When Qin Zhiye stole Uncle Qin's horse and ate it, Uncle Qin captured him and should have put him to death, but Uncle Qin said that he had heard that horse liver was poisonous, and he would get sick if he didn't drink alcohol. Since he ate all the horses, he might as well drink some more liquor.
In future wars, when Uncle Qin was besieged, it was these savages who risked their lives to save him.
Then there was the matter of King Jueying of Chu and the matter of Wei Huo forming a grass-roots ring, Zitian couldn't help secretly happy, thinking, could it be possible that I have done such a thing that can make people die?
If things come true today, there will be another beautiful event in the history books that can be as famous as Qin Bo giving wine, Zhuang Wang Jueying, and Wei Huo Jiecao.
Zitian hurriedly climbed to the high place and looked outside under the guard of the soldiers.
Outside, the soldiers of the rebellious nobles had already surrounded the palace, and thousands of people followed behind. Most of them had no weapons in their hands, but they all had a mentality of watching the excitement, and some even pointed at the palace.
Zitian knows that people's hearts are not available.
If this was the young master Bao back then, where would these people point and watch?They will definitely be excited to fight with these noble soldiers.
Looking at the southwest side of the palace, there are about 50 or [-] people, wearing leather armor, holding short swords, spears, bows and arrows, and they are rushing towards the palace.
But Zitian recognized the leader.
When the Mohists organized soldiers in the city to attack the Chu people at night, Zitian remembered that this person was among them, but he was so pedantic that he was still thinking about what a gentleman is in the battle formation.
Therefore, after capturing the nobles of the Chu people and returning, when Zitian rewarded those people, he said mockingly that this person was a real gentleman, but in fact he called him pedantic.
As the king of the Song Dynasty, Zitian knew that many of his ancestors died above their mouths.
Some were expelled for being cheap, some had their necks broken because of being cheap, and some were almost shot to death because of being cheap... But even with these precedents, most of the successive Dukes of Song still retained the habit of being cheap.
Zitian remembered that the scholar he had ridiculed was named Gongsun Ze, and was even more puzzled.
It could be seen that Gongsun Ze was desperately approaching the palace, fighting with those noble soldiers.Zitian thought to himself, since I have ridiculed this person, why does this person serve him so well?
At this time, the scholars were as proud as swans that should not be indecent. In the past, even a royal hand did not eat mutton when rewarding him, so he drove the doctor in the car into the army and was captured.There are also things such as killing the whole family because of a taunt, causing chaos at all costs, killing the king and killing the king.
Before Zitian climbed to the top, he thought about the story of Qin Bo giving wine and Zhuang Wang Jueying, but he never thought that the person who desperately came to rescue him at this time turned out to be someone he had ridiculed.
From a distance, I heard Gongsun Ze shouting again, and Zitian vaguely heard something like saying that the world will be stable when the king comes out, and he heard something like the salary of eating the king, and couldn't help saying: " This person! A true gentleman!"
He had said these words after attacking the people of Chu on the night before Yueyue, and the target was the same person.
It's just the same, the taste today is completely different from that at that time.
The gentleman of that day was pedantic.Today's gentleman is loyal.In fact, they are the same gentleman, but Zitian has a different heart.
Looking at the distance, it seems that some people are also running towards this side, and it seems that they are also here to help him.
Zitian thought to himself, after all, the etiquette of the world is still useful. After all, he is the king of the country, and after all, there are still some people who should come to protect him as a matter of course.
Zitian thought, perhaps, the turning point of the matter is here, and there is no need to agree to Mo Zhe's conditions, maybe the existing etiquette and rules in this world can save himself, so why need Mo Zhe's rules?
As soon as he thought about it, he ignored the Mohist who was waiting to reply, and Zitian drew his bow himself, making a gesture of helping the battle, and said to his attendants: "Prepare the soft ladder, and when those gentlemen approach, I will cover them into Xiaoqiang!"
The two Mohists who were waiting for a reply remained expressionless, and calmly retreated to the side, saying in their hearts, "Shi said, charcoal in the snow. Zitian, Zitian, I'm afraid these people in front of you are not charcoal, but a little flame. You Since we are still looking forward to things turning around, then it is not the time for us to act. It seems that this day is not cold enough! How do you know how powerful the people's resentment will be? Although it is not as beneficial as it is, it is not what you can do bear it!"
