Chapter 1920: Sailing (25)(2/2)
Shi Lan had no objection.
………………
Outside Songhai City, the Mohist seaside stronghold.
The martial law in Songhai has been lifted, and the Mohists no longer need to hide in Xuanwu.
Of course, I still dare not make any big moves, I just relax a little.
"The city is very lively now." Taizhi slumped down on a chair, holding an apple in his hand, and said with a smile, "Ying Zheng went out, and I don't know how many people's hearts were touched."
He went into Songhai City early in the morning to investigate the situation and had just returned recently.
Gao Jianli on the side asked in a deep voice, "Anyone wants to take action?"
Thief Zhi shook his head, "It's hard to say, it doesn't feel like it."
"It's noisy, it doesn't look large-scale, and it doesn't look like it's ready to take action."
Ying Zheng's visit did not cause much commotion, and his defensive efforts were relatively conservative. To say the least, it was actually a good opportunity.
But just because it looks very suitable for action, it makes people afraid to do it.
Having just suffered a huge loss in something like an assassination, no one thought that the Empire would really let down its guard.
It is common for court officials to remember what they eat but not what they fight. After all, many times they have no obligation to remember what they eat unless their superiors give orders.
But for an organization like Shadow Guard Luowen, it is very dangerous to focus on food rather than fighting.
In less than half a month, if the emperor was put into crisis twice, Zhao Gao and Zhang Han would have no choice but to die.
Regardless of whether he judged logically or based on what he saw during his own investigation, Thief Zhi didn't think there would be trouble today.
"Are there any other findings?" This judgment was also in line with Gao Jianli's view. He did not hesitate and asked other questions.
Thief Zhi thought for a moment and then replied, "On the whole, it's nothing special, it's just like that."
With the current situation in Songhai, any big event will definitely attract a large number of people to join in the fun, either overtly or covertly. Everyone knows this situation, and there is nothing to say.
"Is there anything abnormal?" Gao Jianli asked.
Thief Zhi touched his chin and pondered for a while, "There are some abnormalities... there seems to be a little too much activity around Little Saint Xian Manor."
"I just don't know what those people are like...it doesn't give me the feeling that they are kind people."
"Didn't you catch your tongue?" Yuki-onna interjected.
"I don't dare." Thief Zhi replied with a smile, "The city is noisy. It's easy to hide, but it's inconvenient to do it."
"I'm afraid of alerting others and causing trouble."
Although the martial law in Songhai City has been lifted, it is still loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
There are a large number of troops stationed inside and outside the city, and the men of Luo Sheng and Shadow Guard are also hidden and ready to take action at any time.
Under such circumstances, no matter how good the thief is, he would not dare to take action casually. If he gets into trouble, it is likely that he will be the only one being tricked.
Gao Jianli had no doubts about this, and said with a slightly worried tone, "From this point of view, I'm afraid that Little Saint Xian Manor is really going to get into big trouble."
Pirate Zhi really didn't care about the life and death of the Confucian family, and replied casually, "That's their business, and we can't get involved."
The reason why Robber Zhi behaved so ruthlessly was because Zhang Liang had already told them in advance that no one else could take care of this matter.
On the other hand, it was because he himself was quite disgusted with Confucianism.
There are many things that Taizhi disagrees with about the knowledge of Confucius.
When it comes to resisting the empire, Bandit Zhi also knows very well that Confucianism can never be their ally.
Confucianism at this time was not as bottomless and characterless as the Confucianism of later generations.
Today's Confucians and Confucian scholars still have their own ideas and persistence, and they have not interpreted or distorted Confucius' knowledge to the outrageous level of later generations.
But one thing is exactly the same between them - Confucianism cannot rebel.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Confucian disciples can be dissatisfied with the emperor, they can make comments to the emperor, and they can even criticize the emperor - of course, whether the emperor will kill you or not is another matter.
If you are really disappointed with the emperor and the government, you can wash your tassels with clean water or wash your feet with turbid water. At worst, you will not care about the temple, just like the small sage's village before that only focused on reading the books of sages.
But you cannot resist the imperial court openly and violently.
Confucius pursued self-denial and restoration of propriety throughout his life.
Fu Li is essentially to help the Zhou Dynasty win the resurrection match.
However, now that the Zhou Dynasty has been completely buried, even the most stubborn group of people within Confucianism are not obsessed with this, but have flexibly adjusted the content of "Restore Rituals".
From helping the Zhou Dynasty to fight for the resurrection, it changed to guiding the empire to the right path - the right path in line with Confucian concepts.
At present, Confucianism has made few achievements in the aspect of "restoring rites".
However, no matter how difficult it is to go through the "restoration of rituals", Confucian disciples can only turn their heads and think about "self-denial" and cannot think about other things.
And "self-denial" definitely means that you cannot rebel and cannot resist imperial rule by any clear means.
Therefore, the most Confucianists can do is provide some indirect assistance to other anti-Qin forces, hoping that they will really oppose the empire...unless the empire is destroyed and a new dynasty is established.
"But we have inherited a lot of favors from the ovary, so it's hard to ignore them completely." Xue Nu reminded after hearing this.
Robber Zhi shrugged and said nothing.
Zhang Liang's favor must indeed be recognized. He does not support helping Xiaoshengxian Village, but he will not object either.
Anyway, he can't help it. If you can help him, he can do it.
Gao Jianli pondered for a moment and made a decision, "The Mohist family will repay their kindness, and it is absolutely impossible to let the net attack all the schools of thought."
