Back at the Military Aircraft Department, several ministers of military aircraft got together to discuss "Is there anything that can be improved about the Ding Worry System"? However, this topic is extremely sensitive, and almost no "scholar" is willing to risk the world's condemnation to take the initiative to propose "reforming" this system that has been in practice for thousands of years -- mainly to shorten the period of observance.

Cao Yuying, Xu Gengshen, and Guo Songtao among the ministers of military aircraft are all authentic "scholars".

As a result, the atmosphere of the meeting was a little awkward.

"This matter," Guan Zhuofan said, "It's urgent, it's not urgent, it's not urgent, it's not like a discussion can make a decision, but if I can discuss it more or less today, I can go to the ring with Weng Shuping, and I can have a little more confidence." ”

After a pause, he smiled and said, "I won't tell you anything, I have never done an errand like today, I will destroy my ambition first, and before I go out, I will lose the number." Therefore, please all the princes and express their opinions, I will secretly learn and see if this messenger can 'play a fairy game in the belly of dead chess'! ”

Several ministers of military aircraft all smiled.

"My identity," King Gong said, "unlike Bo Chuan, Zhuo Ru, Uncle Xing, and Yun Xian, I don't have any scruples, I'll talk about it first." ”

After a pause, he continued: "I agree with the meaning of 'above'. Think about it, in one life, you can contribute to the court, and you can do it for a full time, but it is only thirty years. Ding's father is worried, Ding's mother is worried, the two 'three-year mourning', together, these thirty years, two out of ten, five to one, is really - take the words of "above", "too delayed"! ”

King Gong said, "My identity is not like Bo Chuan, Zhuo Ru, Uncle Xing, and Yun Xian. There are no scruples". Meaning: He is the prince, and his family mourning is the national mourning, and above the transcendent "three-year mourning", there is no problem of the people's ministers worrying about the system.

Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "What the sixth brother said is extremely true! If it is an heir, in addition to the worries of Ding Bensheng's parents, he also has the worries of Ding's parents. The four 'three-year mourning' are full of calculations, and the 'system' of one hundred and eight months must be guarded, and the whole ...... Nine years! Coupled with the repeated back and forth on the road, the thirty years that the sixth brother said is not one of five, at least ...... One of the three! This is indeed a 'delay'! ”

Wen Xiang said: "Thank you for the understanding of the sixth master, but my identity." There is nothing to scruple about in this matter. I think too. Twenty-seven months is too long. Or some people, the time is not long, not enough to relieve the pain of filial piety, not enough to fulfill the sincerity of filial piety, I think, this statement, may not be tenable! ”

After a pause, he continued: "If twenty-seven months is considered a long time, and the national mourning is a hundred days, what should we say? What if some people think that 27 months is not long enough, and that 37 months, 47 months, and 57 months are 'Chinese'? ”

Wen Xiang said that "my identity, in this matter, there is nothing to scruple about", referring to the fact that his parents have passed away, and he supports the shortening of the period of observance, and no one can attack him for "reserving a place for the future", "Xirong forgetting to mourn" or something.

Also, although Wenxiang is also an authentic "reader", he is full, Ding worries about the system, it was originally a routine of the Han people, since the imperial court is set as a national system, the full staff will also be implemented according to the rules, but in fact, he doesn't care much, at least the "love" section is very discussable.

King Gong, Guan Zhuofan, and Wen Xiang spoke successively, all of which were quite reasonable and powerful, and their words, Cao Yuying, Xu Gengshen, and Guo Songtao, all agreed with each other in their hearts. In addition, Cao, Xu, and Guo Xiang are all authentic "reformers" in handling foreign affairs, and they will not prevaricate with words such as "the ancestral system is immutable". However, in any case, if you agree with it, you can't say it for a while, so the pressure is great.

The three of them were hesitating, and Wen Xiang looked at Guan Zhuofan again and said: "Fang Cai, the trouble that the prince said about Ding Bensheng's parents and Ding Hei's parents, Yu Minzhong in the Qianlong Dynasty is a good example. Ding Min was born in succession, he first Ding Ben's father was worried, and he returned to the sect and guarded the system; After the recovery, his father died again, so he returned to his hometown to guard the system. It didn't take long for Ben's biological mother to die again, and this time, Ding Minzhong hid and did not report it, and was impeached by the official. ”

After a pause, he said: "Ding Minzhong, of course, is talented but not virtuous, but if the period of abiding by the system can be slightly shorter, I don't think he will necessarily make such a decision." ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "Yes, not everyone is a saint. Besides, even if it's ......"

Speaking of this, he smiled, turned his head, and said: "Today's 'call', the 'above' words are in a hurry, and Zeng Xiangxiang is pulled out, I think, Zeng Xiangxiang was really careful about the registration system back then!" I remember, at that time, there were quite a few people who didn't think of his move, well, it seems, Zuo Jigao is one of them? ”

He turned to Guo Songtao and said, "Immortal Yun, you should know more about this matter, what kind of situation is it?" ”

Guo Songtao said: "What the prince said is right, at that time, Zuo Jigao wrote a letter to Zeng Disheng, and Zeng Disheng showed me this letter. ”

After a pause, he said: "I remember what the letter said: In the book "Compendium", after the seizure of the love topic, it is always judged by the time and place of the person, so it is customary to emphasize the outline, maintain the name and religion, and guard the vulgar. As for the phrase 'there is no avoidance of the matter of the Golden Revolution', the scriptures are straightforward and not suspicious. Sincerely, with the same murderous thing as the military salute and the funeral, there is no need to forget the thoughts of glory; And at the time of the war, the situation is urgent, and there are no changes that cannot be changed. If it is in accordance with the righteousness of heaven, that is, the peace of people's hearts, then the so-called 'seductive affection' of the secular is the so-called 'obedience' of the sages, so what is the suggestion? ”

"Outline" refers to the "Outline of Information Governance".

Guan Zhuofan praised: "'Obeying the righteousness of heaven, that is, the peace of people's hearts' - this sentence is good! The so-called "love-grabbing" of the secular is the so-called "obedience" of the sages' - to put it more thoroughly! How is it, Zeng Xiangxiang saw it, what was his reaction? ”

Guo Songtao smiled and said: "Zeng Disheng said with a wry smile: 'The dog is bloody, speechless. ’”

Several large military planes were stunned, and then laughed "haha".

At this point, although Cao, Xu, and Guo have not made a clear statement, the tone of shortening the period of Ding Wei's defense system and expanding the scope of affection has been set.

Xu Gengshen raised a question: a year after the death of his parents, that is, in the thirteenth month, he performed the sacrifice of Xiaoxiang; Two years after his death, in the twenty-fifth month, he performed a great auspicious sacrifice; Every other month, that is, in the twenty-seventh month, the sacrifice is performed, that is, the "sacrifice of removing clothes", the filial children take off their plain clothes, and the "observance" ends - the time points of these three sacrifices are not changed by the imperial court.

Guan Zhuofan said: "When it comes to Xiaoxiang, Daxiang, and the sacrifice, it is enough to give leave, and it is hard to go back and forth, but it is better than not going straight for three years." ”

Xu Gengshen asked again: Do you want to "discuss" this matter?

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said, "That's not necessary. If it is 'discussed', I am afraid that not many people will praise it. ”

There is one sentence that is not easy to say: This is especially true of the three of you, let alone others?

There is another sentence, which has not been said: "Submission", naturally no one dares to openly "praise and support", but after the "reform" of Ding Wei's system has been completed, there will probably not be many people who sincerely oppose it.

The reason is very simple: on the table, one by one, they are impassioned, their parents are dead, and they can't wait to cry to death to show you; However, there are a few people who are slaughtered for officials, and they are really willing to hand over this black gauze hat and go back to their hometown to guard the "three-year mourning"?
