With the release of Hou Junji and others, the original excited court hall returned to calm, and the grand western expedition finally came to an end. Although there were some defects, it did not affect the overall situation.
However, it caused a storm among the people, but it did not stop. When the general and the Minister of the Ministry of war were jailed, the Mohist son pleaded guilty in the Tai Chi hall in order to save his fellow robes, and everything made the people enjoy talking about.
"Is there a crime in Mohist school?"
For a while, it has become a topic of common people in Chang'an.
"Of course, the MOH family is innocent. He is not only clean and has not participated in the looting, but also restricts the firearm army. None of the firearm Army soldiers looted, which is the only face of the western expedition. How can he be guilty?"
"Yes! The Mo family's apology was just to save Hou Junji and others. Later, they gave the law of reforming the military system to make atonement for the generals of the western expedition."
"The ink family is sentimental and righteous, and naturally innocent!"
Chang'an people who supported the Mohist School said one after another.
"No! The MOH family is guilty!"
"One of his sins is to plunder Gaochang's Secret skills. I'm afraid the value of wine secret skills and textile secret skills is far better than the stolen goods plundered by Hou Junji. In my opinion, the Mohist school is just a little smarter and doesn't take money directly." a merchant snorted coldly.
With the entry into force of the prohibition order and the listing of the wine produced by mojiazi at the foot of Yantai Mountain in Dengzhou, it immediately attracted the pursuit of the people of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that people's eyes turned red with envy. For a moment, the theory of mojiazi robbing Gaochang in a disguised form spread widely.
"The second of his sins is to fish for fame. In order to protect himself in Gaochang, the Mohist School polluted himself with Gaochang's Secret skills. When he returned to Datang to plead for paoze's reputation, he pretended to plead for mercy for the generals. In fact, it was only for his own reputation." a scholar snorted coldly.
When someone asks, how should they deal with themselves after they put themselves in the position and the reputation of Mohism.
"Uphold justice and die!"
The scholar said with awe inspiring righteousness.
Everyone was speechless, but they couldn't help laughing. Everyone would talk big, and the practice of Mohist school was probably the smartest.
"The third of Mohist's crimes is the crime of belligerence!" a middle-aged scholar shouted.
"Don't Mohists always advocate non attack for the crime of belligerence?" they were stunned
"Non attack!" the middle-aged scholar snorted coldly: "That's the Mohist school before. Today's Mohist school has nothing to do with non attack. You can count it. Since Mohist school was born, it has never missed a war. What's more, Mohist school, known as non attack, is in charge of the firearm prison and has studied the method of breaking the city with one blow. It's even more rumored that Mohist school holds a peerless weapon and the victim will die. Such Mohist is not only belligerent, but also Mohist The sinners of Mohism will lead Mohism astray. "
All of a sudden, there was an uproar. Some people wanted to defend the Mohist family, but they were speechless, because these are facts. Driven by people with intentions, the Mohist family's theory of greed for money, love for fame and belligerence is very popular in Chang'an city.
The Confucian journal naturally did not miss this opportunity. It seemed to report the debate fairly, but in fact it contributed to the fire. For a while, the reputation of Mohist school was greatly damaged.
"Hahaha! You also have today in the Mohist school!" Wei Si'an laughed wildly in the Confucian journal. He has always been unhappy with Mohist school. Now he has been inspired by Confucianism and naturally spared no effort to discredit Mohist school.
"As the saying goes, if heaven wants people to die, we must first let them go crazy. The Mo family is too arrogant, so there is today's disaster. Besides, we don't arrange the Mo family. The Confucian journals publish iron facts." editor in chief Ma sneered.
"This time, I'd like to see how the Mohists sophistry?" Wei Si'an said proudly.
In the Mo mansion.
"Greedy for money, love fame and be belligerent! It seems that there are good Confucianists who attack the Mohist school from the reputation." Merton looked at the Confucian journal in his hand and shook his head with a smile. Both the Confucian and Mohist families have already fought each other economically and politically. This time, the Confucian school is unique and attacks the Mohist school from the reputation.
"Master, disciple, I'll inform uncle Mo San and ask him to correct his name in the ink journal." Wu Meiniang angrily said that it was she who found the article in the Confucian journal and came to report to Merton at the first time.
Merton shook his head and said, "how can this kind of thing be justified? In the end, it can only be described more and more dark. If the Mohists defend in the ink magazine, it is right in the abacus of the Confucian magazine. They are worried that they can't make things bigger."
"Then Sue Confucianism magazine for slander, let them publish an apology in the newspaper, and reject the previous report. Di Renjie, you write the petition," said Di Renjie, who was commanded by Wu Meiniang.
Di Renjie glanced at Wu Meiniang and said carefully, "what Mo magazine said is what Mo Hou has done. Although his position is somewhat biased, it is all facts. I'm afraid we can't convict him with slander."
"Let you write, you write. Which side are you on?" Wu Meiniang was angry. When she heard Di Renjie's words, she was angry.
Di Renjie's face drooped and helpless.
"It's not necessary to write a petition. As di Renjie said, it's useless at all." Merton waved his hand.
"Then you can't let them slander master's reputation!" Wu Meiniang said anxiously.
Merton said, "these are all facts. How can we say slander!"
"Ah!" Wu Mei Niang couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't expect master to plead guilty so simply.
Merton didn't think so and said, "just take this opportunity to teach another lesson for the teacher!"
"Mo Hou teaches!" Di Renjie couldn't help but be shocked by the speech. If the Mo family is a famous teacher, I'm afraid no one doubts it. Several lectures for Wu Meiniang have been talked about and become classics.
Unfortunately, he is not a Mohist child, but a legalist child. Now Di Renjie arched his hand and said, "boy, step down first."
"No, today's lesson is about sin. Today's lesson will be of great benefit to you in the future." Merton stretched out his hand to stop.
"But the boy is a legalist." Di Renjie said sadly.
"So what? Mo is a descendant of the Mohist school. He didn't attend classes in master Han's hall to study law." Merton said.
Wu Meiniang said proudly, "that is, self-study only makes cars behind closed doors. Only by winning the strengths of a hundred schools can we carry forward our own theory."
"Thank you for your teaching!" Di Renjie, who is also a wise man, arched his hands to Merton and thanked him.
Merton nodded and continued, "in fact, I have not only these three sins, but also seven sins, arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, overeating and * *."
The seven sins of later generations are Dante's summary in the divine comedy. Today, the west is still shrouded in theology, and the Renaissance is far away. Now Merton puts forward the seven sins 600 years in advance.
Merton looked at Wu Meiniang and di Renjie in deep thought and said in his heart, "I'm afraid my biggest sin is greed. I want to leave the best knowledge in the world on this great land."
