459, kill and cripple (I)
Soon, Jingwen told Dugu Kaiyuan the news that Dugu had succeeded to the deceased Dugu as a cheap son, and Dugu Kaiyuan was angry. Dugu Kaiyuan scolded Jingwen for being a-stirring stick, and he had to intervene in everything. However, this is a matter of his family's reputation, and he can't help but be far from alone. Now that Jingwen, a "-stirring stick", has intervened, Dugu Kaiyuan has no choice but to ask Emperor Li Shimin to call the shots. It's also very difficult for others to make decisions because it's a family affair. And Dugu Kaiyuan can only go to the emperor Li Shimin to cry his father and call his mother, hoping that the emperor Li Shimin will see the friendship of his ancestors and help make the decision. And Emperor Li Shimin was also one of the Eight Pillars of the Kingdom that year, so it was difficult to refuse, so he could only bring Jingwen to ask.
"Your Majesty, Dugu Mou has been succeeded to Dugu as his stepson, that is, he has inherited the family business of the Dugu family. According to the patriarchal law, the stepson also has the right to inherit and can be regarded as a son-in-law. Therefore, now Dugu Mou is the head of the Dugu family. Dugu Kaiyuan came here to shout, it was too late. What's more, Dugu Kaiyuan is also a concubine, so naturally he has no inheritance rights. Jingwen said.
And Dugu Kaiyuan immediately said: "My brother has died, how can he take in his stepson?" What's more, why doesn't the stepson choose from my lineage and choose an outsider? ”
Dugu Kaiyuan is also right, because even if you choose your stepson, you will choose from the same clan. But Jingwen of course they knew that if they chose from the line of Dugu Kaiyuan, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving them the position of the head of the family? When the time comes, where will there be Duguxin's mother's good fruit to eat? So, this kind of thing must not be done.
But Jingwen had already prepared. said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is also very simple. That is, Dugu's wife accepted the righteous son instead of her husband, what's wrong with this? What's more, as for why they didn't choose from Dugu Kaiyuan, that is, Dugu Kaiyuan didn't care about family friendship back then, which broke their hearts, so they didn't choose in Dugu Kaiyuan's vein. ”
"Oh? Regardless of friendship, how do you say this? Li Shimin asked.
Jingwen immediately said: "Back then, the Jiangdu Incident, Yu Wenhua and the Dugu family were slaughtered, and the only one who could survive. That is, my concubine Duguxin and his mother Zhou. And they were also forced to follow Empress Xiao of the former Sui to Dingxiang City. It wasn't until I destroyed the Tang Dynasty that the Turks came back. And at that time, this Dugu Kaiyuan general was also able to escape. But he did not come back to deal with the funeral affairs for his family relatives, but went to Datang as an official. After that, he never looked for his family relatives for many years. This indifference to loved ones. It made Zhou's heart very chilling. Therefore, there is no inheritance from their lineage. ”
And Li Shimin's brows immediately furrowed. Obviously, he was also very dissatisfied with Dugu Kaiyuan. In ancient times, the reason why it was called a family world is that the family is very important. And the family pays attention to filial piety and friendship. And when the Dugu family was slaughtered by Yu Culture. You actually ran away on your own, leaving all the family members behind. And although taking a step back, Duguxin and her mother Zhou also survived, but they are women! Although women in ancient times had a low social status, once they encountered danger, they would not force women to take the initiative to resist. The Tang Dynasty didn't let women keep the festival desperately, so Duguxin and her mother survived, and no one would blame them.
But this Dugu Kaiyuan has been secretly born for so many years, and even if he is secretly born, he will be secretly born, you should at least be affectionate and deal with the aftermath of your own family! But Dugu Kaiyuan didn't go to deal with the aftermath, and he actually left it to be an official of the Tang Dynasty. And Datang has pacified the world for many years, and you don't go to worship these relatives, so you're too inauthentic, right? Regardless of the safety of his relatives, he ran away by himself, which can be said to be unfriendly. Moreover, it would be a big unfilial piety to not even care about the aftermath afterwards.
In ancient times, the emphasis was on ruling the world with filial piety, if a person is not filial, then let alone being an official, he can't be a man. If a person is rumored to be unfilial, then there is no political future. Now, although Dugu Kaiyuan's father has died a long time ago, he still has brothers and sisters. If you don't even care about your brothers and sisters, isn't it a big unfilial piety? Therefore, this unfilial hat must have been buttoned up.
But Dugu Kaiyuan was also aggrieved for a while, and Jingwen was completely buttoning his hat. Dugu Kaiyuan actually didn't deal with the afterlife of his relatives, and there was a reason for this. In the turbulent times of the world, where can I deal with the aftermath casually? This is actually understandable, but Jingwen has such a big hat buttoned down, and it has become a sin. If Dugu Kaiyuan dares to refute with war, then Jingwen will be able to refute it immediately, and you will be unfilial in order to avoid war. As for not going to worship the family, this can also depend on the situation.
In fact, filial piety is very idealistic. Some rich people let their fathers and mothers be clothed and fed, as if they want to give everything in the world to their parents, and they don't feel filial enough. But is this something that anyone can imitate? I am afraid that many people from poor families can only save three meals a day to honor their parents. Therefore, filial piety does not have a unified standard, and it cannot be measured at all. However, Jingwen now uses Dugu Kaiyuan as the reason that he did not deal with the aftermath for the clansmen, indicating that Dugu Kaiyuan is not filial. Dugu Kaiyuan didn't know how to answer, because this was too idealistic, and it was problematic to explain it.
"Your Majesty, I'm ......" Dugu Kaiyuan just wanted to explain, but Jingwen immediately blocked it.
"Your Majesty, can such an unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous guy still be an official in my Tang Dynasty? My Datang rules the world with filial piety, and Dugu Kaiyuan is simply a rude, righteous and shameless person, and he can't be a person anymore? Dugu Kaiyuan, what else do you have to explain? Jingwen said.
Dugu Kaiyuan took a deep breath, he knew that it was useless to explain it, because the theory of filial piety was too big, and there was no unified standard, it all depended on what one mouth said. Because no matter what, everyone has shortcomings, and it depends on whether anyone catches the fuss. There is no excuse for the sin you want to add, as long as you grasp the shortcomings and use the topic to play, you can completely connect with the ranks of your unfilial piety. This world is like this, just look at what it says. Now Jingwen is completely playing on the topic, Dugu Kaiyuan has no way to explain it at all, and it is useless to explain it.
