At the end of the secret talk, the emperor's father Yue Ling set the time and plan for his action. The private soldiers on his fief had gathered together in the name of training, only a few dozen miles away from Shangqiu.

The envoy of Chu State had arrived at Si Shang. The envoy of Qin State was about to cross the Danshui River, and the Mo family was still preparing to continue negotiations with Chu State. This was the most perfect time.

"You guys, the country is in full swing."

…………

That night.

In Shangqiu City.

A tavern near a street market.

It was already late at night, and even in the prosperous Shangqiu, the wine shops were almost closed.

Behind the wine shop is a small courtyard, which has high earthen walls, which are very thick.

A figure walked to the earthen wall, and skillfully touched a place under the earthen wall under the moon.

With a hard push, a hole was easily dug through the thick earth wall. It could be seen that it was originally empty, but there was a thin layer of grass mud on the outside to cover it.

The figure crawled through the small dog holes that could only accommodate them. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was immediately captured by someone.

He was not in a hurry or resisted, fearing that it would be bad if he resisted and died at the hands of his own people.

After saying a cut, the man who captured him immediately let him go and sent him to a secret room in the courtyard.

Soon, the candles lit up, and the windows around were covered with thick curtains, and there was no trace of fire outside.

After a person arrived, the figure who crawled through the dog hole immediately said, "What happened."

"The emperor's father Yue Ling is going to take action. He will force the State of Song to rebel, use backward actions to force the people to resist and thus be out of control, and prompt various countries to send troops."

After saying these secret matters for a few words, the person present was quite shocked.

They had heard similar news before, but they were not very accurate. They were mostly sayings about catching the shadow of the wind.

But the person in front of him is different. He is also a confidant of the Emperor's Father clan. He secretly joined the Mo family more than ten years ago. Unless it was a huge matter, he would not be able to interact with him in person.

There are not many people who can communicate directly with this sender, because once they are used, it means that the deepest piece buried in the Emperor's Father clan will be activated and will be difficult to use in the future.

The Song State was in chaos, and the Mohist family on Si Shang seemed to be sure to win, but they did not conduct large-scale activities in Song State like Handan in the past. But in fact, the Song State is one of the most critical core areas of Si Shang, so there will naturally be Mo people with enough identities to secretly operate here.

The person in charge of the Mo family in Shangqiu was a man in his fifties. He had been secretly engaged in Chu and Zhao countries back then, and the secret lines of the Mo family in various countries were considered old qualifications.

The Mohist family used righteousness to attract scholars. Many people became Mohist secretly in various countries, and many people did not reveal their identities. This was the rule set when they were in charge of the secret Mohist.

The locals may also need the initiative elsewhere, but Shangqiu is like the back garden of the Mo family. It is very simple to support anyone. The confidant of the Emperor's Father Yue Ling gradually became a trustworthy person around the Emperor's Father Yue Ling under the Mo family's activities.

He has outstanding abilities and has accomplished several major events, and has always criticized the morality of the Mohist school in some public occasions.

His level of refutation was very high because the writers of the Xuanyi Department of the Mohist school were all written for him, which was also considered a person whom the emperor's father Yue Ling had never considered the rebellion.

After taking a deep breath in Shangqiu, Mozhe, who was in charge of a secret work, slowed down his nervousness and asked, "Will anyone find out when you came out?"

The man shook his head and said, "No, no one except us knows the pits underground that we dug before."

I had already made many preparations in Shangqiu many years ago. The Mohist school had a method of "preparing caves". The technique of digging pits was unparalleled in the world. I dug a secret passage in that person's home early in order to communicate if something happens in the future.

The Mozhe asked again, "When will we do it?"

"Ming Yezhong."

The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's enough time. You can wait a moment."

Soon, several people came in from outside, the door was tightly closed, and several people were guarding outside.

He roughly explained the situation, and the few people who arrived also looked surprised.

"If you go back to Si Shang, it will take at least five or six days for the news to be heard. I'm afraid there will be no time."

"Or why don't we inform the Dai clan first and hide him first?"

Now the power of the Emperor's Father's clan in Shangqiu City is not very strong, because his private soldiers are still dozens of miles away. Once these private soldiers are mobilized, with the infiltration of the Mo family in the Song Dynasty, they will inevitably become vigilant.

This matter is naturally something that needs to be done suddenly, so that people may be unprepared.

The emperor's father's clan in the city had only more than a thousand organized troops, but they were all elite.

Obviously, after he was about to take action, he immediately transferred his private troops to a surprise attack.

Without the support of the army, all plots are meaningless.

But this fact is too great. It is difficult for the ink artists here in Shangqiu to make a decision. It seems that reporting layer by layer is the easiest way.

At the very least, if something happens in the future, you will not take responsibility. After all, you will follow the procedures, and at most you will not be trusted and considered incompetent.

But if you make a decision on your own, it will be fine in the future. If it is not good, you may be held accountable, after all, the procedures have not been fully implemented.

The Dai clan is the spokesperson and collaborator of the Mo family's nobles in Shangqiu. At this moment, it seems that the safest choice to keep the Dai clan.

As long as the Dai clan is still there, the matter in Shangqiu will still be a coup of the nobles, and the nobles will return to the country to obtain politics through military troops. There are a lot of precedents before.

The person in Shangqiu, of course, knew the strategy of Si Shang Central on the Song State Affairs, that is, to control the situation as much as possible.

However, some people also say: "Take the initiative first, and then take the initiative to others."

"Since the emperor's father Yue Ling decided to take action, he wanted to exchange blood for the resentment and revenge of the people, so as to prompt various countries to send troops, it would be more than just killing the Dai clan."

"Since he said he wanted to do it first, he forced us to cause trouble, why don't we do it first?"

"He didn't have many people in the city. We kept watching it, and it took two days to arrive."

"We still have a chance. Field battles may not be as good as those, but as long as we seize Shangqiu and the riot is successful, we can take the initiative in our hands."

"Besides, once he takes action first, our people will suffer serious casualties, and those who are close to us on weekdays will inevitably suffer many casualties, and then we will be passive."

"Whether we send troops or not, we must be in a passive state."

"Since he wants to make blood flow into a river, we will kill the blood flow into a river first. There are hundreds of people in the city who organize it, take the initiative, capture the leader first, and then support the Dai family to the throne. Wouldn't it be better?"

"Besides, the people support us, what are we afraid of?"

Time passed minute by minute, and the debate continued. Everyone knew that this was not that simple.

If we take precedence, the reactions of countries will be unpredictable.

The Mohist family has branches in various countries and many people who have public activities. When this happened suddenly, no one expected that the emperor's father Yue Ling would be so crazy and would use the entire Song Dynasty to bury it.

There were many speculations on Si Shang, but the Song Dynasty felt that it was very advantageous. External countries could use diplomatic threats to unite and join forces to prevent countries from sending troops.

But he didn't expect that the emperor's father Yue Ling would do the opposite, and he would lose all his reputation and the possibility of public recognition, forcing the people to revolt, use massacre to incite hatred, and prompt the nobles of various countries to be nervous and have to send troops.

Someone also said: "If we take the initiative in this matter, the song will be with me."

"The princes of all countries will be alert to us, fearing that they will not be good for major plans."

"And if the emperor's family takes action first, the song will be there."

"Even if we send troops, it is because the emperor's clan took action first. At that time, the people sympathized with each other, and the princes would not be too alert to us..."

As soon as this man finished speaking, someone said, "This is a bad word."

"We don't need people's sympathy. What we need is that people feel that we are strong and we can rely on, rather than letting them sympathize with us."

"As for the vigilance of the princes, if we don't take the initiative, will the princes not be alert?"

"Can we exchange thousands of lives for so-called sympathy? We allow the people to be killed just for the song?"

"Just when we evaluate people in future generations, we say that these people are so miserable and are full of sympathy and sighing for what we have done?"

"The giant said that what we want to do is not to put the ink pieces on the shelf, so that everyone can sigh at the lingering fragrance; but to make ink that dyes the world black. Even if future people think this ink is black, it is not as good as Qingshui when they think it is."

"It's fine to endure elsewhere. In Shangqiu, why should he endure? Since he wants to kill our whole family, we will kill their whole family first. Even if the so-called song is in me, what are you afraid of?"

"Right and wrong are tortuous, isn't it clear enough about the affairs of Zhou and Wu of Shang?"

The person in charge who had never spoken was silent for a moment and said, "Zi Mozi once said that profits are power. Weigh big profits and small profits to make decisions."

"Let me talk about the disadvantages of taking preemptive action first."

He skillfully took out paper and pen, and everyone knew that time was precious, so they immediately put forward their opinions in order.

“There are too many drawbacks.”

"We should take the initiative and shock the countries. At the least, we should expel those who are active in various countries, and at the worst, we should massacre them. Shangqiu is powerful, but elsewhere, we should be small, not enough to resist, nor enough to succeed in the riot."

"Once countries send troops, we are not prepared enough, and now we are developing, and the time is on our side, so we can delay as long as we can."

"The important part of the Song Dynasty is that once troops are sent, Wei, Chu and Han will not allow us to monopolize the Song Dynasty. At that time, we will be greatly affected by the war in the Song Dynasty. It may require the mobilization of the entire Si Shang to win this battle, which will hinder our continued development."

When people who proposed the preemptive drawbacks said this, someone immediately refuted: "This is a bad statement! What is our development for? It is for the benefit of the world. It is not that everything we do is for the development of Si Shang."

"As the saying goes, we must distinguish the purpose and means, and don't make mistakes. We develop not for the sake of development, but for the benefit of the world. The Song Kingdom is naturally part of the world, and it is the world..."

His words were immediately interrupted by a serious voice, and the person in charge of Shangqiu said: "Talk about the disadvantages first, then talk about other things. Don't argue with justice, purpose, means, only pros and cons."
