Chapter 19: Mohist sincerity!

On that day, Tie Niu led several guards out of Xianyang.

At the gate of Xianyang city, they went their separate ways again.

Ying Yuan was recuperating in the palace, feeling so comfortable.

Attending court to observe government affairs deprived him of his sleep time in the morning. Couldn't he make up for it with a good sleep?

Even in the afternoon, when Fusu came to the palace, he was told by the maid that "Prince Yuan is seriously injured and sleeping, and he has specifically ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him."

After receiving such a reply, Fusu had no choice but to leave and told Xiang Licheng the "helpless news" at the gate of Xianyang Palace.

"Master Xiangli, why don't you go back first and come to see my sixth brother later."

Fusu sighed, not knowing whether it was because of Ying Yuan’s laziness or the situation of this Mohist leader.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Licheng shook his head, his eyes full of determination:
"Sir, this matter concerns the rise and fall of my entire Mohist school."

"After I returned, I discussed this with everyone in the Mohist School. Gongzi Yuan's words are indeed the only way out for the Mohist School in the future."

"Yesterday, I was disrespectful to Xiang Licheng. Today, the young master is not feeling well. I am waiting here as a small apology."

"Please don't persuade me anymore, sir."

After saying that, Xiangli Cheng bowed slightly to Fusu as an expression of his gratitude.

After all, this Prince Fusu really did go to see Prince Yuan, and this friendship is worthy of the word "benevolence".

Hearing this, Fusu became even more shocked.

He listened carefully to what his sixth brother said yesterday, but he did not expect that it would have such a great impact on the Mohist School.

even,

Xiang Licheng, the great leader of the Mohist school, was waiting anxiously in front of the Xianyang Palace.

In Fusu's heart, he felt that his sixth brother actually had great talent.

"If that is the case, this young master is equal to the great master."

"Even if Sixth Brother wakes up and says a few good words for you, it will be considered as my humble contribution."

Fusu nodded and spoke in a deep voice.

This is not simply a demand of the Mohists, it is also extremely important to the Qin Dynasty.

If the Mohists could really devote all their efforts to serving the Qin Dynasty, the national strength would be greatly improved.

"Thank you, sir!"

Hearing this, Xiang Licheng was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly.

Prince Fusu is kind to others. I am sure that even Prince Yuan, after hearing Prince Fusu's good words, would be more favorable to the Mohist school.

Time passed gradually and the sun set from east to west.

It was almost evening, and Fusu and Xianglicheng had not eaten yet, and they were feeling a little hungry.

But in order to express his sincerity, Xiang Licheng insisted on waiting, and Fusu had no choice but to accompany him.

"Sir, Xiangli Cheng, Master Yuan wants to see you."

Just as the sky was getting dark, a maid, led by the royal guards, walked up to the two of them, bowed politely, and spoke softly.

After saying this, Xiang Licheng, who had been standing for a whole day, felt his legs and feet become stiff and he was even shaking, almost falling down.

If the guards had not reacted quickly and caught him, he would have fallen miserably.

"Master Xiangli, let's go over there quickly."

Upon seeing this, Fusu quickly reached out his hand, and together with the guards, he supported Xiang Licheng and spoke gently.

Xiang Licheng was excited and nodded repeatedly. Then they walked towards Ying Yuan's palace.

As we walked into the hall, a fragrance wafted into the air.

"Brother, Master, you must be very hungry. Come and have a meal."

A light laugh was heard, and Ying Yuan had actually ordered someone to prepare dinner early.

Xiang Licheng's face was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned ecstatic!

Gongzi Yuan allowed him to sit down and eat, which was a very good attitude. It also indirectly showed that Gongzi Yuan was broad-minded and did not take his disrespectful words yesterday to heart.

Who knows... can the Mohist school really find the right path again with the help of Gongzi Yuan?

"Thank you, sir."

Xiang Licheng even staggered a little when he walked, but he still did not forget to perform the proper etiquette.

Fusu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and slowly walked to his seat and sat down.

He was really worried that his sixth brother had a willful temper and would not be very nice to Xiang Licheng.

After all, the importance of Mohism was known to all countries in the world. Even some poor and weak countries almost kowtowed to Mohists to help them build city defense equipment to prevent foreign sieges.

Ying Yuan smiled faintly, as if nothing had happened, and invited the two to eat, but he had his own thoughts in his mind.

This old man Ao Xianglicheng was beaten, but given food to eat, this was clearly a favor.

Although they were all minor quarrels, this kind of emotional tug-of-war made it easier to see Xiang Licheng's true attitude.

Now the time is almost right.

"Sir, you seemed to have made up your mind about the Mohist school yesterday. I wonder why you came to see me again today?"

"If you are here for a debate, then after listening to your words, I am not willing to argue any further. At most, I will just say, 'Your words are very good! Good! Good! Good!'"

Ying Yuan watched the two of them eat a little and asked with a smile.

He doesn't have the time to do anything complicated.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Licheng didn't even have time to chew and swallow the food in his mouth. He spat it out directly into his palm and quickly stood up and said, "Sir, I was really blind before and presumptuously guessed your intentions."

"The young master's remarks yesterday made Xiang Licheng toss and turn and unable to fall asleep."

"After returning to the Mohist School, the Mohists all said that the great way you have taught is the light! We, the Mohists, must follow what you have taught, come from the people and go to the people."

"For this reason, although the Mohists did not speak out in the council, Xiang Licheng also knew that this was a serious offense. This morning, I went to the outside of the palace to wait for the young master, hoping to express my apologies."

"Now that I have met you, I am extremely ashamed. Please do not take my disrespectful words yesterday as a grudge. Please allow me to follow the Mohist school."

Xiang Licheng paused for a moment, then made up his mind and said directly, "Surrender!"

The word "surrender" represents Xiang Licheng's attitude.

He didn't intend to beat around the bush, and he didn't even feel qualified to talk about conditions, so he just revealed his cards directly.

Such behavior does not leave any room for oneself and may seem stupid, but in fact it is another form of sincerity.

For Ying Yuan, Mohism was not the only choice, but Xiang Licheng was so tactful and told him the truth right away, which made him appreciate this great leader of the Mohist revival even more.

From this point of view, the cohesion of Mohism was not simply due to the trend of Qin's unification of the world, but this Mohist leader also played an indispensable role!

"Master Xiangli, since you have spoken sincerely, I will be merciful and accept your loyalty!"

"At the beginning of today, the Mohist School will work for our Great Qin!"

Ying Yuan slowly stood up, holding the wine cup in his hand, slightly covering it with his sleeve, and drank it all in one gulp!
