Chapter 622

Yanyan took the records regarding Ji Hao from Moya's hands. He truly was an extraordinary man who lived in reclusion while hiding amidst the bustling world. According to the clan surnames, the Mohist School suspected that Ji Hao was a distant descendant of the Zhou royal family. In his youth, he had been unconstrained and untamed, traveling among the various feudal states in pursuit of obtaining an important position and being heavily employed by lords. Yet, it was precisely because of his unconstrained nature—comparing himself to sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought such as Confucius, Mozi, and Laozi, and even uttering that the words of the sages might not necessarily be true and could not be fully trusted—that the Hundred Schools considered him to be unorthodox and rebellious. As a result, he was not employed by the feudal states.
