Therefore, among the Hundred Schools of Thought, not a single one stood up to speak for the Agricultural School and the Yin-Yang School, because both schools had broken the rules!
If they were to condone the actions of the Agricultural School and the Yin-Yang School today, and someone were to move against their own grandmasters in the future, who would stand up to speak for them?
The various feudal lords also chose to remain silent. Through the covert notifications of the Mohist School, both the King of Chu and the King of Qin learned that individuals from their own states had also participated. Since the Mohist School showed them face and did not pursue the matter further, they knew when to quit while they were ahead. As for the other feudal lords, some were themselves involved while others were aware of the inside story, so they all chose to remain silent.
