Chapter 13 The Foolishness of Filial Piety that Makes People 'Moved'
Chapter 13 The foolishness that makes people 'moved'
Filial piety comes first, this is the unchanging theme of Chinese civilization, even if it is an emperor, it cannot escape the shackles of filial piety, many such examples in history, such as Han Wu, or such as Zhao Zhen.
Moreover, writers and historians also praised filial piety, which made filial piety once the foundation of the country, and the importance of filial piety in ancient times can be seen from the filial piety in the inspection system.
It is even almost to the point of pathology, such as 'the parents of the body', which makes the ancients unable to trim their hair, eyebrows, beard, or even nails for the rest of their lives, and in various ancient criminal laws, 'endurance, completion, and hair' are criminal laws punished according to the spirit of filial piety.
torture, that is, shaving; The second type of completion is to shave off the sideburns, which is often combined with hard labor sentences such as Chengdan; The third type of punishment is not only the beard, but also the hair. In the pre-Qin period, men had to grow beards, which was a symbol of status, so historical materials specifically recorded that Liu Bang was a "beautiful beard".
Overexaggerating filial piety does have a moral bottom line, but it will also cause many unnecessary tragedies, such as 'foolishness'.
Cruel ones such as 'Guo Ju'er'.
Reluctantly accepted allusions such as 'Lao Lai Banyi' and 'Lying on Ice for Carp'.
These stories suddenly seem to be really touching, but after careful scrutiny, I feel that not only do not conform to the core concept of socialism, but even have some suspicions of insufficient IQ.
It's like the current Wang Li.
A noble son who received elite education since he was a child and was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, has extreme admiration for his family and his father, and even tries to sacrifice himself to protect the family.
"If you really die, then your death will become the biggest thorn in the hearts of Yingzheng and your father, for the emperor, any unstable factors will be strangled in the cradle, if you die, no matter what, your family can't avoid this difficulty." Wang Xu sighed and said, "The other party has figured out your character and used your filial piety to trick you, it's an acquaintance." β
Wang Li's eyes widened, as if he had been greatly impacted.
After dozens of seconds, he stood up suddenly.
"Sit down, with your current ability, you can't get out of this forest." Wang Xu put a few more slices of barbecue meat on the sapper shovel.
"I'm going back! You can't let your father do stupid things! Vertical son Feng Zhang! I'm going to tear you apart and burn you alive! Wang Li roared with red eyes, like an angry tiger.
"Feng Zhang?" Wang Xu frowned and searched for this character, there was no record of this name in his memory, but this surname was very easy to associate.
The person who can be so familiar with Wang Li must be a family of the same level, so it is estimated that he is the descendant of Feng Quji's family, who later served as the prime minister of Qin.
The clichΓ© is here, and Wang Xu has basically unraveled the ins and outs of Wang Li's appearance here.
The Wang family's high merit is not only the emperor's suspicion, but also the jealousy of his colleagues, after all, a double marquis, the Qin State has been founded until now, and the marquis are all bent to the fingers, so far, in addition to the royal family, there are only these two marquises.
Even Wu Anjun Bai Qi, Shang Jun Shang Ying, and Gongsun Yan, the three famous big men, are also tightly the feudal monarchs of Daliangzao.
It is enough to see the difficulty of the marquis of the Qin State.
But Wang Li, who has just been weakly crowned, has already taken over Daliangzao from his grandfather Wang Qian, and as long as he follows his father Wang Ben to mix up a little bit of military exploits in the future, he will restore his grandfather's throne.
Such a great honor naturally caused dissatisfaction among colleagues.
As for how many people are calculating the Wang family, Wang Xu doesn't know, but what can be determined is that the forces headed by this Feng Zhang bullied Wang Li to be unfamiliar with his young mind, pretended to be kind enough to analyze the contradictions between the emperor and the Wang family, and then used filial piety to kill him.
Otherwise, if Wang Li hadn't left voluntarily, it would have been impossible to appear in the deserted suburbs of Liaodong, thousands of miles away from Xianyang.
Wang Xu still appreciates Wang Li's fearless sacrifice for his family, but he does not approve of it.
But in order to show that he was moved, Wang Xu prepared to wear the story of Wang Li in the future and educate future generations that although filial piety is valuable, foolish filial piety is not advisable.
At the same time, Wang Xu also had a strong interest in this Feng Zhang's Feng family, if you think about this family is really interesting, the Feng family in the Qin Dynasty appeared Feng Quji and Feng Zheng, two officials to the top of the secretary, but according to their ancestors, they are not from Qin.
However, the figure closely related to the Qin State, the ancestor of the Feng family called Feng Ting, was the key figure who single-handedly contributed to the Battle of Changping.
Feng Ting was originally a Korean, serving as the county guard of Shangdang, Shangdang is an important military place, at that time in the Qin State's strategy route, Bai Qi's first strategy was here, at that time Feng Ting knew that he couldn't hold Shangdang, so he came up with a 'Li Dai Taozhuang' strategy, and dedicated Shangdang to Zhao State.
The king of Zhao coveted the land of Shangdang, did not listen to Pingyangjun's opinion, accepted Shangdang, and also gave Feng Ting the title of Huayangjun.
In order to take the important land of Shangdang, Bai Qi launched the Battle of Changping two years later, which achieved the name of Bai Qi to kill gods and people, and also opened the curtain for Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms.
History records that Feng Ting fought in Changping and died in battle.
However, his descendants served as loyal ministers in the Qin Dynasty.
If it weren't for Wang Xu's examination of the "Warring States Periodical Family Book" and the brain-burning spy war drama of Su Qin, the first person in Infernal Affairs, it would be really difficult to find the Feng family's greasyness.
With Feng Zhang's means of manipulating Wang Li, there is no doubt that he will be a psychological master in later generations, and usually this kind of psychological master has a talent for espionage.
Wang Xu couldn't help but open a brain hole and made an assumption, joining Feng Ting to present the party to Zhao State back then, which was itself instructed by Qin State?
Otherwise, how could a 'three-surnamed house slave' with an unknown family background appear in the Qin State, where there are many capable people, and there are two extremely powerful characters?
Wang Xu's occupational disease has been committed again.
The burnt smell of the barbecue pulled Wang Xu back from his mind, and he looked at Wang Li not far away screaming at the night ghosts, and then looked at the people of the Guzhu clan not far away eating 'hot pot'.
Wang Xu threw the meat that had been burned into charcoal in the shovel into the fire, and checked the 'wheel' created by Tushan Niangzi, although the shape is irregular, but it should not affect the use of it, after all, it is walking on a dirt road in the mountains, and there is no need to consider shock absorption.
"Emperor, the solid wood wheel is heavy, and it may be inconvenient to move." Tu Shan Lady appeared at the right time.
"Walking in the forest is inconvenient, as long as you can push it." Wang Xu smiled: "Can the wooden planks of the body be cut?" β
Tu Shan Niangzi looked ashamed, "The wooden planks required by the emperor are too large, and there are no suitable trees around to make raw materials. β
Wang Xu wanted to make a 'mobile bunker' three meters wide and four meters long, which was indeed a great challenge for ancient carpenters who did not have composite technology.
"Do you know the mortise and tenon of the Gongyi family?" Wang Xu asked.
"Mortise and tenon?" Tu Shan was stunned and shook her head, "I have never heard of it, the secret skills of the public loss family have never been passed on, and the public loss family has disappeared for nearly a hundred years." β
"Come, I'll make one for you." Wang Xu selected two pieces of waste materials and made a mortise and tenon joint with a belt.
This is the name of the furniture parts of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the bottom surface of the panel is beveled and the bevel is split out of the bevel through the groove, and the name of this file is called the belt.
When the thin plate that is not wide enough is widened, the "dragon and phoenix tenon plus belt" is used.
Archaeologists all started as brick movers and carpenters, and the suspicious and simple mortise and tenon structure was easy for Wang Xu.
The advantage of communicating with professionals is that there is no need to explain the principle, and after a glance at Tu Shan's lady, she kneiled on the ground with excitement and swore that she would never pass on the secret technique.
"The public loser doesn't pass on the secret technique!" A frightened voice came from behind him.
Wang Xu turned his head to look at Mo Kui and smiled, "Have you seen it?" β
Mo Kui's original wise eyes were a little cloudy at the moment, "How did the Emperor know." β
"You're questioning me?" Wang Xu narrowed his eyes.
"The sinners don't dare!" Mo Kui's body trembled and knelt on the ground to apologize.
"Go get something to eat, Mo Lian left you meat." Wang Xu smiled, didn't say anything more, and watched Tu Shan's lady experiment with wearing mortise and tenon joints.
After Mo Kui thanked him, he glanced at Tu Shan and left.
"Wang Li, come over when you've shouted enough." Wang Xu called Wang Li over.
Wang, who was getting more and more decadent after venting, limped over, his face gloomy and anxious.
"Do you want to understand something?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.
Wang Li nodded, and said, "I'm an idiot." β
"To be able to figure this out shows that you're not really stupid." Wang Xu chuckled.
"Help me." Wang Li stared at Wang Xu with burning eyes.
Wang Xu looked at him and was silent.
There is always an inexplicable pressure to be stared at by Wang Xu, mainly from the pair of demonic heavy pupils, Wang Li swallowed nervously, and raised his hand, "Swear by the honor of my Wang family!" β
For this general, honor is indeed more than everything.
Wang Xu was willing to trust Wang Li, but he didn't dare to fully trust his family.
Because big families are all intricate political families, it is impossible to be a simple general, so before they have no strength, there are only two consequences of contacting such a big family, one is to become a slave, and the other is to die.
Before he had a foothold, Wang Xu was not prepared to have too much to do with the Central Plains.
Seeing Wang Xu shaking his head, Wang Li immediately became irritable again.
