Chapter 612: True Filial Piety
With the example of Hufu riding and shooting in the past, Merton's beard hair treatment lice was immediately convincing, and even Li Shimin couldn't help but be persuaded a little in his heart, Datang was originally extremely open, and the advantages of hair were obvious to all, and many people's resistance was reduced a lot for a while.
"What is filial piety? I'm afraid that the ink sacrificial wine is suspected of being off-topic. Quan Wanji saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately reversed the topic.
Merton saw that the effect had been achieved, and did not dwell on this topic any more! Instead, the filial piety was re-debated: "Filial piety is concerned but not formal, but we are putting the cart before the horse, the most obvious of which is that in the Han Dynasty, filial piety was extremely popular, and many literati at that time in order to be officials, it can be said that they did everything to show their filial piety in order to be an official, and the boy believed that its purpose was to be an official and not to be a filial piety!" There are even people who cheat for being officials, and the Taoist master Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi" once satirized this phenomenon, saying: Show talent, don't know books; Cha Xiaolian, his father does not live. Han Su is as white and turbid as mud, and Gao Diliang is as timid as a man, so that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the war was continuous, and the country's social affairs were turbulent, so that the imperial examination system prevailed in my dynasty, which curbed this wind! ”
Kong Yingda and the others' faces suddenly darkened, and the system of filial piety and honesty may be the biggest black spot of filial piety, showing the disadvantages of filial piety to the forefront.
"Although there are many disadvantages of filial piety, it greatly advocates filial piety, so that the people of the world take filial piety first, and the disadvantages outweigh the benefits." Quan Wanji argued.
Merton retorted: "Honoring one's parents is naturally respectable, but in Mo's view, filial piety can be divided into filial piety and foolishness, one of the two is filial piety, and the other is stupid, and for the sake of the so-called filial piety, regardless of the worm disease, I am afraid it is the biggest foolish filial piety in the world."
"Foolishness!"
After Merton put forward the concept of foolish filial piety, it exploded in the court like a thunderbolt, since ancient times, filial piety is a story that is respected and praised by the court, but in the mouth of the Mo family, there is still a saying of foolish filial piety.
"It's simply lawless, and I beg Your Majesty to severely punish this disloyal and unfilial person!"
All of a sudden, the ministers were excited, as if they had been poked against the scales, and they were full of anger.
Li Shimin suddenly looked at Merton with a headache, this kid is really going to make trouble, so he had to say in a round at the moment: "Merton, if you don't have an explanation today, I will definitely spare you." ”
Quan Wanji snorted coldly: "Filial piety is a matter of course, from Yu Shun's filial piety to the sky, Zhou Tanzi deer milk to the family, Zhong by a hundred miles of negative rice, all dynasties and dynasties have filial piety touched the heavens, Weichen has never heard of foolish filial piety." ”
Merton sneered: "You are all well-educated people, but you don't know if you have heard of Guo Ju's burial of his mother. ”
"Bury your child and serve your mother!"
Suddenly, the civil officials were as silent as ducks pinched by the neck.
Guo Ju's burial of his mother occurred in the Jin Dynasty, and according to legend, Guo Ju was extremely filial to his mother. Later, the family gradually became poor, and his wife gave birth to a boy, Guo Ju was worried that raising this child would inevitably affect the support of his mother, so he discussed with his wife: "The son can be reborn, and the mother cannot be resurrected when she dies, so it is better to bury the son and save food to support the mother." So the husband and wife took their son out and dug a pit to bury him. Fortunately, a jar of gold was dug up, and his son was spared death.
Merton looked coldly at the silent civil officials and said: "Although Guo Ju has filial piety, but the act of killing children is against human nature, one is against the old mother's love for her grandson, and the other is against the old mother's unkindness. This filial piety is foolish filial piety! ”
"Foolishness!"
At this time, even Li Shimin couldn't help but be silent.
"This is just made up by the predecessors, and how can it be so coincidental that a jar of gold can be dug up!" Kwon Wanji flatly denied it.
Merton laughed and said: "In this way, Yu Shunxiao moved the sky, and Zhou Tanzi's deer milk is fake." "In contrast, it is still a little more reliable for the doe to give milk and dig up gold in the ground.
With his spear and the shield of his son, Quan Wanji suddenly tasted what it was like.
"If Guo Ju's burial of his mother is not exquisite, I don't know how you adults will look at the matter of selling themselves to bury their father." Merton asked again.
"Selling oneself to bury one's father, it is a matter of Dong Yong in the Han Dynasty, his filial piety touches the heavens and the earth, attracting the goddess to go down to earth, and achieving a good story in the world, this is a good thing of filial piety and righteousness, and it is naturally a great filial piety!" When Quan Wanji heard this, he said proudly.
The other civil officials also looked at Merton proudly, and Merton was poor in donkey skills, and he actually helped them speak. Kong Yingda shouted that it was not good, according to the temperament of the Mo family, how could he make such an obvious mistake.
Merton sneered: "Then I don't know what Lord Quan thinks about the common women on the streets of Chang'an City selling themselves to bury their fathers!" ”
A woman on the streets of Chang'an sold herself to bury her father! Suddenly, all the ministers were silent, and everyone knew that there was only one final destination for these women, and that was the Qinglou!
Morton Mouran shouted: "Although the deceased is the greatest, but for the sake of the so-called filial piety, let the parents be buried, and sell themselves in the Qinglou, and suffer humiliation and humiliation, this is filial piety, or foolishness, is this kind of behavior worth advocating." If Quan Daren agrees, he can immediately publicize the supreme filial piety of Kwon Daren in the ink magazine. ”
Quan Wanji's face suddenly turned red, if he nodded in favor of the woman selling herself to bury her father at this moment, I am afraid that he will immediately be written in history into the pillar of shame, leaving a stench for 10,000 years.
Not only was Quan Wanji like this, but the other ministers also avoided Merton's forced gaze.
"Filial piety is a matter of course, but to do it to your parents, support your old age, and enjoy your old age! However, it is not foolish and filial, not to blindly obey, to obey the parents, the slightest disobedience, will be crowned with the hat of unfilial piety, since ancient times, the tragedy of buying and selling marriage is countless, the root of which is foolishness! Merton said generously.
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh, Merton's words were said to his heart, after the change of Xuanwumen, although he ascended the throne, but he was detained in the name of unfilial piety, at this moment Merton's words can be said to be right in his heart, if he obeyed Li Yuanyan's words and blindly obeyed, he may not know what the end would be now.
As long as the people of the world take care of their parents and get medical treatment for their illness, it is filial piety, not for their own reputation and official position, deliberately for outsiders to see, make a joke about Zhou Mu greeting him and offering a chapter to ask for an heir." Merton said excitedly.
All the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent for a while.
The boy also believes that the people of the world should pay more attention to filial piety during life, rather than being buried in the scenery after death, a greeting before death is better than crying for three days after death, and a bowl of hot rice before death is better than three years of filial piety! This is the filial piety that parents all over the world need, rather than letting some people use the name of filial piety to gain fame for themselves, which will lose the essence of filial piety, which is a greater stain on filial piety! Merton's words were deafening, and everyone couldn't help but think deeply.
"Filial piety is not obedience!"
"Filial piety before death!"
"A greeting before death is better than crying for three days."
"A bowl of hot rice before death is better than three years of filial piety!"
……………………
In this era, once the parents died, they must keep filial piety for three years, ordinary people will keep filial piety for three years, the family will lose their livelihood, and they will suddenly become poor, and the officials will keep filial piety for three years, and the official journey will be interrupted. And now Merton can speak for everyone.
"This is the real filial piety, the purest filial piety in the world, not mixed with any utilitarian filial piety!" Merton said with a sonorous voice.
