"The protector of the country does not go inside!"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the imperial court was very strange. Although the focus of the imperial court was on Gao Chang's incident, it did not mean that they did not know what happened to the Mo's Village and the feud between Meton and the Jiangnan aristocratic family.
Xiao Yu's face couldn't help but turn ashen. He was the main culprit behind the Mo clan's failure to enter twice. Now that the son of the Mo clan had brought this up in front of all the officials, how could he not be embarrassed? This made the proud Xiao Yu fly into a rage out of humiliation.
Li Shimin looked at the strange officials and could not help showing an imperceptible smile. He said, "Mo Zi helped the Song Kingdom with all his strength but was treated like this by the Song people. I can't help but feel bitterly disappointed."
Under the echoes of Meton and Li Shimin, almost all the Jiangnan officials were ashamed. In this regard, there was no doubt that Jiangnan had wronged the Mo Family.
"The story of Mo Sheng's protector of the country does not go inside is now known to the world. Could it be that Mo Sheng comprehended the great Mo Skill in the rain outside the Song Kingdom?" Hou Junji did not forget the matter at hand while adding salt to the wound.
Meton shook his head and said, "No, this secret skill can be traced back to the battle between Mo Sheng and Gongshu Ban in the imperial court of the Chu Kingdom before he returned to the Song Kingdom."
Xiao Yu and the Jiangnan officials were so angry that blood rushed to their hearts. It was clearly something that happened in the imperial court of the Chu Kingdom, but Mo Jiazi just mentioned the story of the protector of the country not going inside when Mo Jiazi returned to the Song Kingdom. Mo Jiazi must be deliberately taking revenge on the Jiangnan officials and humiliating them in front of the imperial court.
Xiao Yu was unhappy and said coldly, "It's sad and lamentable that Mo Zi went south alone to resolve the war between the Song Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom with his own strength and saved the people from war. Unfortunately, thousands of years later, his descendants have completely forgotten the Mo Family's non-offensive philosophy and even have ulterior motives to instigate a war between the Tang Dynasty and Gao Chang, causing the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to die in vain. Is the Mo Family still the Mo Family today? I wonder how Mo Zi would feel if he knew this in the afterlife."
Meton mocked the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family by saying that the protector of the country not going inside, while Xiao Yu countered Meton with Mo Jiazi's betrayal of the Mo Family's non-offensive philosophy. At the same time, he cleared the Jiangnan Aristocratic Family's name. A Mo Village that betrayed the Mo Family was not worthy of sympathy.
Meton said proudly, "The Mo Family's non-offensive philosophy is not against war, but against unjust wars and meaningless wars. However, Mo Zi had been running around for his whole life, but he could not stop the world's disputes. Finally, the Mo Family was divided into three parts, and the Xiangli Family inherited Mo Zi's unfulfilled wish. They finally came to the conclusion that only when the world was united could the world not be attacked. Finally, they joined the Qin Kingdom and helped the Qin Kingdom unify the world. For thousands of years, the Xiangli Family was determined to unify the world and committed to the unification of China. At that time, my late father used the strength of the Mo Village to seek refuge with the Emperor. What he wanted was for the world to be united and the world not to be attacked. This is the Mo Family's true non-offensive philosophy. "
Li Shimin could not help but nod. The Xiangli Family did not betray the non-offensive philosophy, but used another form to practice the non-offensive philosophy.
Meton turned his head and looked at Xiao Yu solemnly. "Moreover, Xiao Yu thought too highly of the Mo Family. During the war between the Song and Chu, it was not Mo Zi alone who resolved the war between the Song and Chu, but resolved a war that the Chu Kingdom was bound to lose. Mo Zi and Gongshu Ban's practice in the Chu Kingdom's imperial court showed the Chu Kingdom that the war was bound to be lost. Naturally, the Chu Kingdom would not continue the war, so they took the initiative to withdraw their troops."
The officials in the imperial court nodded. Meton's words were indeed to the point. He did not exaggerate the myth of Mo Zi, but explained the inside story to the guests.
Hou Junji's heart was moved. He immediately understood the invincible and invincible method that Meton talked about. It was the same as Mo Zi and Gongshu Ban's practice of attacking and defending, to know the outcome of the war in advance. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, naturally, one could win every war.
"If we use Mo Zi and Gongshu Ban's method of attacking and defending, we can simulate the war. Both sides will fight over and over again, looking for the opponent's weakness and increasing our own advantage until we have the confidence to win, and kill with one strike." Meton looked around and said proudly.
The eyes of the generals suddenly brightened. As generals, they naturally knew how serious mistakes were on the battlefield. If they could repeat the war and make up for the mistakes, how exciting would it be? This was the divine weapon that the military dreamed of. It was comparable to the telescope to the Daoist School, and the microscope to the Doctor School.
Xiao Yu was an extremely smart person. Naturally, he also understood Mo Jiazi's meaning. He could not help but shake his head and laugh. "This is ridiculous. Do you think we can win the war against Gao Chang if we take off our clothes in the imperial court and practice with wooden boards?"
Immediately, the civil officials could not help but burst into laughter. In their eyes, this was even more ridiculous than talking on paper.
Meton did not get angry at all. Instead, he looked at the officials calmly and said, "The reason why Mo Zi and Gongshu Ban can attack and defend with simple objects is because they are extremely intelligent people. They can easily understand each other's intentions. After a thousand years, the war of attack and defense has changed a lot. The battlefield has become more unpredictable. A moment of carelessness could lead to a total annihilation. For this reason, the School of Mo has tried for a thousand years to improve, hoping to recreate the battle between Mo Zi and Gongshu Ban. However, all efforts were in vain. It was not until three years ago, when His Majesty rewarded my daughter with a million hectares of the Maowusu Desert, that the Minister got the inspiration to perfect this secret technique."
"Desert? Is this Ink Technique made of sand? "Wang Gui shook his head and laughed.
The officials all laughed. However, to everyone's surprise, Meton actually nodded slowly and said, "Yes, it is made of sand. Adding water to the sand can increase its viscosity. When placed on a plate, it can easily simulate all kinds of mountains and rivers. At the same time, it can be repeated many times. The Minister calls it a sand table."
"Sand table!" The generals couldn't help but think. If sand could really be used to simulate the terrain of the battlefield, then for a general, it would be easy to coordinate the entire situation. It would play an important role in the war.
Meton nodded solemnly and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is sand in the palace. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to recreate the battle between Mo Zi and Gongshu Ban in Taiji Palace, using the sand table technique to simulate the battle between Gao Chang and Gongshu Ban."
Back when Meton was building the swimming pool for the Imperial Palace, he had already sent a lot of sand to the palace. Now, he could put it to good use.
"Permitted!" Li Shimin said with a wave of his hand.
In a short while, the ground of Taiji Palace was covered in sand. Under Meton's skillful hands, a vivid map of the Western Regions appeared before the civil and military officials.
Mountains, rivers, roads, cities, deserts, oases — all of the Western Regions could be seen before their eyes. Looking down on the entire Western Regions, everyone felt like everything was under their control.
