My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 100 Digging into the Technology Tree

Mohism has many ideas, such as universal love, non-aggression, respect for the virtuous, and understanding of ghosts. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Mohist followers might have promoted most of these ideas.

but.

As time goes by, the Mohist school today is no longer the same as it was back then.

Just like Confucianism, just the "Spring and Autumn Annals" can be divided into several different views and factions.

Although they belong to the same school, the Gongyang School and the Guliang School have different and even hostile views on some issues.

As the saying goes:
Heresy is more hateful than paganism!

Sometimes, the fights and quarrels among fellow students are not much less intense than those against foreign enemies. This phenomenon among Confucianists was particularly evident during the Song Dynasty.

Mohism can be placed on a par with Confucianism. Confucianism has internal strife, but doesn’t Mohism have it?
There are also!

There are three schools of Mohism.

1. Qi and Mohism. This school has evolved to the present day and has basically abandoned the mechanical construction of Mohism, focusing on debate and advocating "universal love".

Previously, Liu Ju asked the scholar from Qi what he thought about "non-aggression".

The scholar lied...

Universal love is love without distinction and without discrimination. No matter who they are, even strangers, they should be treated as relatives.

In other words.

Qi Mo is a group of idealists who rely on their mouths and eloquence to spread and advocate love and peace to the world.

You want this kind of person to support the emperor's continuous wars?

It’s hard to think about it.

Qin Mo, this school also chose a direction from Mohist thought to specialize in - equipment.

Qin Mo and Qi Mo are like the two extremes of Mohism, one belongs to the idealist school and the other belongs to the pragmatic school.

There are three schools of Mohism.

In addition to Qi ink and Qin ink, there is also Deng Ling's ink, also called Chu ink.

Chu Mo also has a specialization - being a hero and doing good.

As a knight, he travels around, and with his understanding of justice and peace, he fights for justice and eliminates violence... okay.

These are all old almanacs.

When there were many states in the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Mo could indeed be chivalrous and righteous, but in the unified Han Dynasty, it was called: knights use force to break the law!
Today Zhang San bullied Li Si, and you couldn't stand it, so you killed Zhang San with a knife. You think you are a chivalrous man, but where does the law of the country stand?
Where is the face of the court?

Murder is against the law and the imperial court would definitely not ignore it. In the Spring and Autumn Period, if Chu Mo killed someone in Wei, he could still escape to Yan.

He will be a good man again in the future.

But in the Han Dynasty, if you killed someone in Hedong County and fled to Youbeiping County, you would still be a fugitive!

Behead them if you catch them!
Qin Mo and Qi Mo, one is a pragmatist and the other is a dreamer, while Chu Mo is a complete radical.

They have already lost their radicalism...

When the Qin and Qi factions decided to come to the Prince's Palace to recommend themselves, they contacted their fellow disciples in the south, but received no news.

nowadays.

The only two remaining factions of the Mohist school had already sat in front of the prince, and Liu Ju had mixed impressions of them.

One person is good and the other is bad.

Just like now, after Liu Ju examined their ideological background, he asked again: "Why do you want to come and join me?"

The scholar replied: "Your Highness is famous and has inherited the legacy of Lord Xinling. I admire you so much that I have come all the way from Qi, hoping to serve you!"

The dark-skinned man glanced at his fellow disciple upon hearing the voice, and his dull face trembled.

It still has to be you, Qi Mo.

It sounds better when spoken than sung...

He looked at Liu Ju, bowed, and said bluntly: "Your Highness, I have heard that the current crown prince does not care about status or identity when selecting talents!"

"I spent many days asking around in Chang'an and learned that if a butcher came to surrender, the prince would personally meet him. Only then did I believe it."

"My Mo Clan is in a precarious situation. We dare not seek refuge elsewhere, so we can only try our luck in the Crown Prince's Palace and hope for a chance of survival!"

Oh?
After hearing this, Liu Ju smiled.

I have said that I will treat everyone equally and I have also insisted on setting an example myself, and today I finally saw the results.

It's not easy!

He glanced between the two of them and already knew in his mind that Qin Mo was honest and Qi Mo was frivolous.

With an impression, Liu Ju stopped probing, leaned back, and said clearly: "Since you have come to surrender, I believe you all have real talents and knowledge. Tell us about them."

"If you are useful, I will promote you!"

This statement came out.

Needless to say, the two Mohist disciples were excited, but Zhuang Qingzhai, who was sitting in the hall with them, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "I knew it!"

Skillful.

Dongfang Shuo beside him was smiling and thinking: "I knew that His Highness would be interested in the great talent of Mohism."

On the other side, the Mohist disciple from Qi was the first to speak, full of confidence and excited: "Your Highness, I am well versed in classics and humanities, and I am good at debate."

"Although I am not as good as Yan Ying of Qi State in the past, I believe I am not far behind. I can speak for Your Highness and be Your Highness's messenger to help Your Highness out of trouble!"

When he talked about his own abilities, he was in high spirits, and even though he was dressed poorly, he couldn't hide his swagger.

The tone is even more arrogant, even comparing him to Yan Ying...

Liu Ju said nothing after hearing this and turned to look at the other person.

"I'm not good at speaking, but I'm good at making things." While speaking, the dark-skinned man's face did not show any excitement, but rather a look of uneasiness.

"In order to recommend myself today, I, the Qin Mo lineage, have specially forged a sword and presented it to Your Highness."

talking.

He turned his head and looked towards the palace entrance.

Su Wu stood there with one hand pressing a knife and the other holding a sword. The knife was his sword, and the sword was the precious sword that was taken away from the honest man when he entered the hall earlier.

choke!
Su Wu stood in the hall and personally drew his sword to demonstrate. As soon as the sword was unsheathed, the sword reflected a cold light under the candlelight in the hall.

"What a sword!"

The one who gave his evaluation based on just the appearance and voice was Su Sheren. Liu Ju smiled and said, "Whether it's good or not, you have to try it to know!"

"Can we give it a try?"

Seeing the prince looking at him, the Qin Mo man did not dare to say too much, and said carefully: "Of course you can, but it is easier to cut wood than iron with one blow."

Liu Ju raised his eyebrows slightly, then pointed to a corner of his desk.

Seeing this, Su Wu hesitated.

"No problem, come on!"

The prince spoke, and Su Wu no longer hesitated. He twisted his wrist, grasped the sword, and chopped with force.

boom!
The sword didn't stop at all and chopped off a corner of the wooden table. An ordinary sword could do the same, but it would never be able to cut it off with just one strike.

It is even more impossible to be so smooth.

Liu Ju took the eight-sided sword and looked at the blade. There was not a single scratch on it. He was secretly delighted. This was what he wanted.

As expected, Mo Jia did not disappoint him. Others traveled through time and climbed the technology tree, but Liu Ju now not only climbed, but also dug!

Soon.

There were only three people left in the Reception Hall: Liu Ju, Dongfang Shuo and Zhuang Qingzhai.

After seeing the true qualities of the two men, Liu Ju said: I need to consider it, and let the two Mohist disciples leave first.

Although he said he was considering it, Liu Ju actually had already made up his mind.

"Let that Qi Mo disciple go back to where he came from. He is unwilling to accept this and has transferred to his family. Don't recommend anyone from the Qi Mo lineage in the future."

Liu Ju waved his hand and said, "But the more disciples like Qin Mo, the better!"

"what?"

Dongfang Shuo was obviously puzzled. "Your Highness, I think being good at debate is also a great talent. If you can recruit one, why not recruit all of them?"

Seeing that he really didn't understand, Liu Ju said unhappily, "I recruited Qin Mo because they are good at construction and useful to the country, and Qin Mo is steady and low-key."

"You look at the other one?"

"Even though he is down and out now, he still behaves so arrogantly. When he enters the Crown Prince's Palace, won't he be so arrogant?" Liu Ju shook his head: "This person is not worth having."

He looked at Dongfang Shuo and said meaningfully: "Talents are not about quantity but quality. For eloquence, you alone are enough for me!"

"If I accept Qi Mo and let him be my mouthpiece and messenger, what will you do in the future?"

"Handing over the Grand Order to someone else?"

The Grand Secretary, one of the Nine Ministers, was in charge of the court's diplomatic affairs with vassal states and border tribes.

this moment.

Dongfang Shuo's expression froze. After a moment of shock, he bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

As he strode away, he kept muttering, "I'll get that guy out of here right now..."

After Dongfang Shuo left, Zhuang Qingzhai sighed: "Alas!"

The former young master smiled bitterly.

"Teacher, don't worry." Liu Ju was open-minded, or rather, confident.

The inventions of horseshoes and stirrups in the past were just small-scale things. It was not that Liu Ju did not want to do something bigger, but that his strength did not allow it.

Now with the Qin Mo lineage, the shortcomings have been made up.

after.

Liu Ju provided ideas and Mohist disciples provided professional capabilities, just like a tiger with wings, it was sure to take off!
When the time comes, I will come up with some good stuff, which will definitely make the emperor speechless...

but.

Zhuang Qingzhai not only smiled bitterly at the pressure from the emperor, but also from Confucianism!
