Chapter 307 Entering the urn
Jing Ke weighed the pros and cons with a complex expression, but did not reply for a long time.
Chen Sheng was not in a hurry, ordered someone to bring a charcoal stove and a kettle, and leisurely started making tea.
Not long after, on the crowded long street below, a proud Legalist disciple wearing a Xie Zhi crown, black attire and a bladeless iron ruler hung from his waist recited the "Han Code" loudly along the street.
, the people of Chen County who were walking up and down the street had long been accustomed to this. There were only a group of children with big noses, laughing and joking behind this Legalist disciple. When the Legalist disciple recited a sentence, they would imitate it...
…
The crisp children's voice fell into Chen Sheng's ears, but it was like the sound of nature.
He stood up, folded his arms and watched the not-so-smart Legalist disciple gradually go away, with admiration in his eyes!
The first batch of Legalists recruited by Han Fei into Jixia Academy were naturally all outstanding Legalists.
But excellent people are often too smart.
The shortcoming of smart people is that they always like to use clever ways to do things that save time and effort and kill multiple birds with one stone.
Otherwise, they just hold back their energy and always want to make big news and make a big splash...
But at the level Chen Sheng is at now, he would rather have more practical talents like the Legalist disciple below who are willing to do things down-to-earth!
"Is this a Legalist disciple?"
Jing Ke didn't know when he stood up, staring at the leaving Legalist disciple like Chen Sheng, and asked.
"Yes."
Chen Sheng nodded, turned around and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
"Dongdongdong..."
A messenger rushed up to the second floor, cupped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Chen Sheng pointed to the direction in which the Legalist disciple was leaving: "Go and inquire about the Legalist disciple who just passed by, and report his name and deeds to your right minister!"
The messenger clasped his fists again: "Wei!"
Jing Ke stood next to Chen Sheng, looked at the back of the Legalist disciple who was walking away, and then looked at the back of the messenger who turned around and hurried downstairs. Suddenly, an unreal and absurd feeling came to his heart.
.
Hundreds of them traveled thousands of miles, but perhaps they were not as effective as Chen Sheng's words...
'Is this the benefit of having a mountain at your back?'
Jing Ke asked himself this.
But after thinking for a moment, he couldn't come up with an answer, so he simply asked directly: "If I, a disciple of Wu Mo, enter Chen County, you might treat me with the same attitude?"
Chen Sheng frowned slightly and said seriously: "Let me say it again, I want you to join our Han court as the guardian envoy of the Demon Slayer Division because I trust your ability and your character!"
"Your status as a member of Wumo Clan is, at best, the icing on the cake."
"It's not because you are a member of the Wu Mo Sect that I want to invite you into my Han Court; it's because of you that I am willing to let you Wu Mo into my Han Court!"
"If you have any doubts, then let this matter rest. You have the right to act like you have never heard of it."
Chen Sheng had a straight face and Yang said angrily.
In fact, he did value Jing Ke's identity as a poet.
But when negotiating, of course you can’t let your trump card slip and let the other party seize the opportunity to raise the price!
In Chen Sheng's eyes, Wu Mo is a twisted extremist organization.
On the one hand, they cling to the powerful, doing dirty work for them in exchange for money, and they act ruthlessly and unscrupulously.
But on the other hand, they dedicated most of the dirty money they earned to their Mohists, and the vast majority of them believed from the bottom of their hearts that what they did was just, and that their Mohists' views were
The future of Kyushu.
The two contradictory qualities are perfectly integrated in Wu Mo and other Mo painters, and finally create such a person who can assassinate and ambush unjust people, and carry out a kind of defense war and holy war without fear of sacrifice, and with a healthy and passionate momentum.
Distort extremist organizations!
Although they are not a religious organization, their style of conduct does have a bit of a cult...
Of course, in the dark social background where the "secular official system" and the "inspection and examination system" completely cut off the lower class people's way of advancement and the class barriers are indestructible, it is really true that Wu Mo participated in all the dirty work done by the internal strife among the powerful class.
It’s not a mistake!
If you kill ten people from aristocratic families, it is rare that even one person will be wronged!
What? Common people?
Ordinary people are also worthy of the high-ranking aristocratic families. The nobles and ministers spend a lot of time to ask Wu Mo to take action?
However, it is precisely because the vast majority of Wu Mo practitioners in the middle and lower levels of Wu Mo always firmly believe that their actions are just, which leads them to rebel even if they encounter some truly just tasks.
.
This may be one of the main reasons why Mohism, Taoism, and Confucianism are both one of the three major schools of thought in Kyushu, but their popularity is far inferior to that of Confucianism and Taoism.
After the death of Mozi, the founder of the Mohist school, the three major disciples of Mozi split the Mohist school, causing the Mohist school, which could have fought against Confucianism and Taoism, to decline day by day, with each generation becoming worse than the last.
There are outstanding Mohists such as Jing Ke and A Yu who truly have a righteous heart, but they cannot accept the extreme practices within the Mohist school. They have successively changed their followers from followers to followers, or even turned followers into villains and turned back against others, which has resulted in the succession of Mohist talents, and each generation is inferior to the last.
But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if it is divided into three parts, the Mohist school is still one of the three most prominent schools in Kyushu.
It was under such circumstances that Jing Ke and A Yu transformed from Chen Sheng's assassins to Chen Sheng's relatives and friends...
Of course, Chen Sheng didn't point out what Wu Mo could do if he came in.
But when Wu Mo entered the Han court, it became his capital in the game with Confucianism and Taoism!
…
Jing Ke looked at Chen Sheng suspiciously.
He neither dared not believe Chen Sheng's words nor fully believed them...
"The first question is, if I follow your advice and join your Han court as the Demon Slayer Division and Guard Division, can I settle the affairs of the Division with one word?"
Jing Ke asked.
Chen Sheng nodded without hesitation: "This is natural, but those who should be supervised by the Wang Ting will also be supervised by the Wang Ting... Let alone the Demon Slayer Division, even I, the King of Han, don't want to do whatever I want. Likewise,
Must be supervised by the royal court!"
"I know!"
Jing Ke also nodded without hesitation: "Second question, if you let me, a disciple of the Mohist family, enter the Han court now, the Han court will not ask us to assassinate the king again in the future, right?"
Chen Sheng listened and smiled calmly: "With all due respect, you think too highly of your Wu Mo disciples. If you really want to assassinate the king and kill the driver again, we in the Han court have people who are more proficient in this than you Wu Mo disciples."
!”
After a pause, he emphasized his tone and said seriously: "I really don't like your Wu Mo stuff!"
Jing Ke:……
Chen Sheng's words were so confident that he could not refute them.
Who told them, Wu Mo, even dispatched the gatekeepers of Xiu Yi, but they couldn't do anything to defeat Chen Sheng?
"I will go back and discuss it carefully with my colleagues on the left and right, and I will give you an answer within three days!"
He said it simply and neatly without any further ink marks.
"That's going to be soon!"
