Chapter 75: The curtain just opened

After Zheyangzi climbed to the top of the city, the soldiers on the top of the city shouted: "We are not guilty!"

Zhe Yangzi said seriously: "No sin is not a merit. Your parents and wives are both in the city. The people seeking profits are righteousness! Didn't you hear Mo Zi's words? Righteousness is profit? This is the time to go to righteousness with great pride and cannot be left behind!"

"If you can make meritorious contributions, I will make it clear to you that your merits cannot be missing. Once the new policy is established, you must reward good and punish evil. If you have merits, you must reward you and punish you for your sins. This is something you must know."

The soldiers on the top of the city saw the people gathering under the city, with a large number of people, excellent weapons, and good training. At this time, many remaining formations remained.

Zheyangzi had killed the king again. Even if they wanted to be loyal to the responsibility of the soldiers, no one could be loyal.

At this moment, what they were worried about was that the angry people believed that they were the lackeys of the monarch and would be suppressed and liquidated in the future.

When Zheyangzi climbed the city as a charity, they seemed to have found a spokesperson or backbone. After all, Zheyangzi was once Fei Jun's servant and had many interactions with the soldiers in the palace.

Zheyangzi looked around and said loudly: "The people who followed me to the city are all famous warriors in the city. I have heard a lot in the palace. Some of them were also chosen by the city as a sign of public opinion."

Looking at the soldiers around him, Zhe Yangzi said, "You can make contributions, will your contributions not be known? Since I have climbed the city as a charity and saved both sides, I can be your representative. As long as you can make contributions, you will not only be free from any crimes, but also be rewarded!"

It was at a loss that everyone was chaotic like headless flies. Zhe Yangzi's words immediately made him the leader of this group of flies. Everyone said in unison: "We must follow the words of a gentleman, and we are no different from you!"

Zhe Yangzi said: "At this time, there are still people in the palace who cannot understand that the people are not guilty of seeking profit, and the gate of the palace is still closed. Cannons have been gathered under the city, but once the shelling is bombarded, it is afraid that those who are deceived will be hurt. We should open the city gate and siege those ministers who are "evil."

"We cannot decide whether it is evil or Wei Zi. If we think the new policy is established, we will definitely interrogate it clearly."

"Warriors, follow me, open the city gates and search for the nobles!"

If this is a coup, the death of the monarch means that the temporary ending of the coup has been decided.

The soldiers all thought that Zhe Yangzi killed the monarch, and now they follow him, at most, they will follow evil. Besides, the monarch is dead, so they follow Zhe Yangzi to fight, and then they will change from evil to righteousness.

Some people have heard about the new policy, and it is their thoughts.

So the soldiers on the front of the city elected Zheyangzi as their leader. After the oath, Zheyangzi held a sword and led people down the city with a generous attitude of going to justice.

Either charge or advice.

With Fei Jun's head in hand, the morale of the army collapsed, and it was impossible to go ahead.

But he did not open the city gate, but led people to capture the nobles in the palace.

However, there were many tough people among the nobles who angrily accused Zhe Yangzi of being a "king thief", but Zhe Yangzi was not ashamed but proud.

Since he was determined to get close to Xinyi in order to seek wealth, then the insults of the old righteousness to him seemed to him as the praise of Xinyi.

At least he himself temporarily believed that he killed the tyrant for the sake of "righteousness to benefit the people". Not only was it not unfaithful, but it was just righteousness.

Now the only person who knew that he had made the most cruel suggestions had been killed by him.

It is precisely because he is judging his actions, and now he is a righteous man. As for what he thinks in his heart, who can know?

Now, he has become the leader of the armored soldiers in the palace, with some support.

And through his words and identity, he became the representative of these soldiers in the palace: he was originally Fei Jun's close servant. If he was dealt with, the soldiers would inevitably panic and cause chaos, so these soldiers became the shield for Zheyangzi to ensure that he was not harmed by the new policy.

Kill the palace and bleed all the way. Although there are many resistances, since the soldiers have already used their weapons, killing one is killing, and killing two is also killing. Moreover, if they kill less, they may be bitten back in the future. The palace can be said to be blood flowing like a river.

Zhe Yangzi looked back at the bloodstains along the way, and he had his own concerns.

Now this coup seems to have been successful, but in fact it has just begun. Under the feudal system, the success or failure of the capital does not represent success or failure. What is important is the reaction of the nobles in the fiefdom.

Even though the capital was controlled by the Baigong Rebellion of Chu, Mr. Ye could still pacify his fiefdom.

Even later Qin destroyed Chu and Chu was defeated, but in the end, the nobles of Chu were still strong, and it was eventually considered to be restored.

And the coups like Qi, Wei and Zheng are mostly like this, and those who control the capital may not be the final winner.

Zheyangzi understands.

He has read the history of books, read the Spring and Autumn Period, read the Zuo Zhuan, and also read many books about political and historical analysis by the Mohist school.

It is precisely because of this that he can see further than other nobles and see the affairs of Fei State. Unless the Wei and Qi countries are pulled into the water and become a holy war between the old rules and the new rules of the Mohist family, there is absolutely no possibility of victory.

However, Fei Jun refused his suggestion.

He is not Fei Jun, he relies on Fei Jun, so Fei Jun does not use his opinion, so he can do nothing by himself, and he is not willing to become a martyr in the old era.

If Fei Jun used his opinion to flee early and lure troops from various countries into Fei to massacre in advance, then as the person who made his opinion, he would be Zhao Shuai, Hu Yan, Jia Tuo, Xian Zhen, and Wei Yuan beside Duke Wen of Jin.

But Fei Jun didn't need his opinion and chose to escape at that time, so he was the evil one around King Zhou, Fei Lian.

Zhe Yangzi was very pleased with his decision, and decisive talents could stand at the forefront of the wave of the times.

Now that the capital has been controlled, Zheyangzi is gambling, will the Mohist family come forward to support it?

He observed the behavior of the Mo family over the years and was convinced that the Mo family would not be the kind of stupid and empty talk of morality. In the Battle of Hanshui, the Battle of Teng, and the Battle of Aid, all of the Mo family took the initiative to open up the Si Shang situation in one fell swoop.

In Zheyangzi's view, the subsequent battle of Fu Teng was the Battle of Hanshui, and the subsequent battle of Hanshui was the Battle of Aid, which expelled Yue and hindered Qi. The Mo family would not allow the rest to be involved in Si Shang, otherwise there would be no need to fight the Battle of Aid.

Zhe Yangzi knew very well what the level of aristocratic private soldiers and soldiers in Fei State was.

If it were just the people in the capital, it would be enough to defend itself. Even if only one of the Mohist teachers was involved, those nobles would have no chance to resist and would be suppressed in an instant.

As for whether Wei Qi and other Congress would actively interfere, Zhe Yangzi also thought about the consequences.

When I was about to drill a dog hole, if I followed me, I would probably die.

If you don’t kill the king, then even if you are not a serious crime, you will lose all your wealth and merits.

So I had to kill Fei Jun at that time, killing the only person who knew that he had proposed those cruel plans in exchange for the name of "righteous man" under the new rules.

Even if Wei Qi comes to attack and the Mo family fails in the future, he feels that he can still run to the south. The Mo family has not sailed to the extreme south, but has communicated with Linwu City and other cities in the southernmost part of the Chu State. This is what he saw from the Mo family's books.

As for whether someone will think that after the new king ascends the throne, it doesn't matter. As long as they shout the banner of righteousness, the people will think that they are righteous men. As long as there is no evidence, they will always be the "brave gentleman who punishes tyrants" in Fei's country.

Therefore, he wanted to kill people more ruthlessly than others, shouted slogans of righteousness louder than others, and most importantly, he always explained his identity: he was the monarch's close servant.

This identity will make him a vane in the hearts of the palace soldiers. If he does not fall, the soldiers will feel at ease. If he falls, the soldiers will feel panic.

So he can fall, but he will fall after the situation in the city stabilizes.

As for this, Zhe Yangzi felt that as long as he stood firm for a few months, it would not be easy to get himself down.

So before the bedroom, Zhe Yangzi thought to himself: When will the Mo family come forward? Only when the Mo family comes forward will he take the most dangerous step. Otherwise, he will really have to consider escaping first.

…………

Among the Mo family's strongholds, there were constant news from Mo people coming from the city, which was generally expected.

The weapons in Wei Rang's hand were from the Mohist family who "buyed".

The city map in Wei Rang's hand was surveyed and mapped by the Mohist school in advance.

The specific plans for the riots in the city were also written by senior Mohist leaders as consultants.

The only accident was that Zhe Yangzi killed Fei Jun.

However, Xu Ruo and others did not express any opinions on this, which was a favorable matter after all.

Meng Sheng, who is coordinating the overall situation here, is calm and just occasionally listens to the rewards of those ink masters, and walks on the ground without saying a word.

Xu Ruo thought of the "dominant power" that Meng Sheng mentioned before, but he was anxious and couldn't help asking: "When will we come forward?"

Meng Sheng turned around, looked at Xu Ruo, and asked slowly: "Mo wants to benefit the world. Are the people willing to benefit the world? It is said that the ultimate benefit to self-interest is to benefit the world and love both sides, but how many people have the will to die?"

Xu Ruo suddenly woke up and said in surprise: "What do you say is that the people and us are not united for the time being?"

Meng Sheng waved his hand and said, "You are wrong. It is because we and the people's interests are consistent, but this is in the long run. In the short run... The people of Si Shang live a good life, how many people do they have the heart to benefit the world? Which of the sufferings of Qin and Jin thousands of miles away are more concerned about than the sufferings of their neighbors? But the world is uncertain and the world is different. The good days of Si Shang will eventually be destroyed in the troubled times, so it is consistent in the long run, but in the short run. This requires us to convince and educate the people."

Meng Sheng sighed and said, "About Feiguo, I am afraid that the people only care about the capital, but they are unwilling to shed blood for the people on the sealed fields outside the capital. As long as the capital changes are made near the capital, they may be satisfied and agree, and at least many people will agree."

Xu Ruo said anxiously: "If this is the case, you should come forward soon."

Meng Sheng shook his head and said, "I think it's time to come forward slowly. Education and persuasion may not depend on our mouths alone. Tell the children not to get close to evil dogs, they may listen. But if the evil dog has bitten it once, they will remember it for the rest of their lives."

When Xu Ruo heard this, he sternly said: "What are you saying? Just watch the people bleeding, just to let them remember these things? This is contrary to the Mohist family's meaning of benefiting the world! If you say this, I ask to hold a representative meeting to dismiss your qualification as the general here!"
