Chapter 26: Three years of mourning
Zheng Xuan was a great Confucian in the world, and he was a protΓ©gΓ© of Xun, according to the etiquette of the time...... In fact, it is more accurate to say that after Zheng Xuan passed away, Shi Xun should go to pay tribute in person, and may also need to help his coffin return to his hometown for burial...... However, it was just a matter of sacrificing, asking for a month's leave from the imperial court, galloping to Xudu as soon as possible, and going back and forth did not hinder the plan of sending troops to Meiji in early April. If the coffin returns to his hometown...... My God, Zheng Xuan is a native of Gaomi in Beihai, from Xudu to Gaomi, this distance is not close and not to mention, the coffin cannot be transported quickly, back and forth, this small half a year has passed, and the daylilies here in Shuozhou are cold!
It is Xun who is hesitant and difficult to decide, and here it reflects the weakness of his weak foundation. If you are a big family, the people in the clan are luxuriant, and there are many things such as weddings and funerals, and you are taught and guided by your elders, how to deal with such things, how to measure the pros and cons, and how much you know. However, it was Xun Zhengzheng who was in his teens before he impersonated and mixed into the scholar family, plus the family was not well-known and not prosperous, so he was absolutely inexperienced. As far as he is concerned, of course, he doesn't plan to help Zheng Xuan's coffin return to his hometown, if he really wants to do that, it is estimated that the position of Shuozhou Assassin will be lost - as a pastor, how can there be a reason to take a half-year long vacation, and the court will definitely have to be replaced-so won't his plan for many days be in vain?
I worked hard to repair the front-line base, subdue Xianbei, and thought that Wei was my adopted son, where did I come from? Walking a hundred miles and a half and ninety-nine, it is a failure!
No, you have to talk to someone. But who should I turn to? Guo Boji is still young, Qin Yilu and Sun Yunan are all poor, so it is estimated that they don't understand this...... Come to think of it, yes. Zheng Wengong has not yet returned to Lishi. Ask us.
So he hurriedly sent people. Zheng Hun, who was about to return to the office, was invited and sincerely asked for advice. Zheng Hun pondered for a long time, and then replied with a slight frown: "Hun has a word, so that the king will not be guilty." β
Yes Xun said that you gave me advice and ideas, how could you offend me? "It doesn't hurt to say anything."
Zheng Hun suddenly took a step back, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply towards Shi Xun: "For the sake of the king, please follow Yan Shujian, Kong Yuanshi, and Li Yuanli." and the example of Wang Jingxing in this world. β
What are the examples of these people? Shi Xun's mind turned slightly, and he suddenly woke up, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he smiled bitterly: "It's even like this?!" β
Uncle Yan insisted on his name, and received the "Zuo's Biography" from Yingchuan Tangxidian, and then became the Marquis of the Plains. Kong Yuanshi is known as Yu, one of the "eight and". Emperor Ling made up for the Yang Order at the beginning, and also abandoned the official with the funeral of his teacher. He died at home. Li Yuanli is famous, one of the "Eight Jun", with Xun Shu of the same county (Yingchuan) as his teacher, Xun Shu died when he was still a scholar, and he resigned from the official to mourn. Wang Jingxing is Wang Lang, who studied under the late Taiwei Yang Ci, and when Yang Ci died when he was appointed to the hill, he abandoned the official service and mourned.
Therefore, Zheng Hun's meaning is very clear, not only agreeing that it is to support Zheng Xuan's coffin to return to his hometown, but also to build yì He simply resigned from his official position and went to mourn for Zheng Xuan.
It was Xunxin who said that since I came to Shuozhou to take office, there is no place to be sorry for you, why do you Zheng Wengong want to drive me away? Now whether it is the situation in Shuozhou, or my own career, I am at a critical juncture, and you are not unclear, but as soon as I leave, these will all be in vain - what good is it for you?
"The teacher is not a close relative, and he has to be convinced?" That's a teacher, after all, it's not an immediate family, it's enough to express grief for him, is it necessary to resign and mourn? It's not that if there is a precedent, you must follow it, it is not a serious etiquette and regulation after all.
However, Zheng Hun replied: "The Book of Rites? There is a cloud in "Tan Gong": "The teacher has no crime and no hidden, and there is no way to raise the left and right, and he has served until death, and his heart has been mourned for three years." 'Who is the cloud? There is a rule in the scriptures that if the teacher dies, he will be "mourned for three years".
It was Xunxin who said Hu, not only do you want me to resign to go to Zheng Xuan's funeral, but you also want me to keep it for three years...... I rely on how many three years in my life, three years of mourning for my father is terrible enough, plus other immediate family members - for my own family, although Shi Yi is an uncle, he is the eldest parent, and he has taken care of himself after Shi Yi's death, theoretically if he hangs, he will have to serve three years of mourning - plus the teacher, all the good youth is wasted. In Shixun's heart, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of disgust for Confucianism......
But he still has to struggle: "The heart is not mourning." "If you want to say that I have mourned in my heart for three years, that's no problem, anyway, what I think in my heart, no one else can guess......
Zheng Hun shook his head and said: "Although it is a mourning without service, it is also a mourning service." "Although it is not necessary to wear filial piety clothes, the process of mourning must still be experienced-" "Tan Gong" Fuyun: "The funeral of Confucius, the people of the door are suspicious. Zigong said: "The mourning of the former master, if you lose your son and have no service, the same is true of the road of losing your son." Please bereave your husband and son, if you lose your father and do not obey it. "And so the second and third sons came out. If you live in a group, you will not be able to go out. 'If the clouds 'live in groups', they will be mourned. β
When Confucius died, the people gathered together to study how to treat the funeral and how to wear filial piety, Duanmu Ci (Zigong) said, thinking that when Yan Yuan died and Zilu died, although the master did not wear mourning clothes, other etiquette was no different from that of a dead son. Since the death of an apprentice is like the death of a son, then the death of a teacher should be analogous to the death of a father, except that he does not need to wear filial piety clothes.
So the people don't wear filial piety clothes, just tie a filial piety belt (η») on the head or waist, and untie it when a person goes out, and usually when the big guys are together, they are all knotted. Zheng Hun said, since the disciples of Confucius usually get together, it can be seen that they mourn Confucius together, so it can be seen that the funeral ceremony of the teacher, except that there is no need to wear filial piety clothes, is no different from the dead father - you also have to go to the grave to settle the house and mourn for three years, so how can you not resign? Who gives you three years of paid vacation?
It's Xun Shin who said fuck you! When the disciples of Confucius got together, they must have mourned for Confucius? That just means that the sect hasn't split yet, and the big guys haven't divided their luggage and gone back to their respective homes. However, he only dared to slander a few words, and it was not easy to refute Zheng Hun clearly, because Zheng Hun's recitation of the classics was not wrong, and its solution was also the general rule of the years. Come up with another solution.
He had to turn around the corner to find a slowdown. When the sink is a little moaning. asked Zheng Hun and said: "Ying Zhongyi's "Customs and Customs", has Wen Gong read it?" Zheng Hun shook his head: "I've heard of its name for a long time, but I haven't seen it, and it's a pity." β
Ying Zhongyu is Ying Shao, shortly before his death, the old gentleman once sent a set of "Customs and Customs" written by himself, and he had nothing to do, and he read through it several times. So he immediately recited "Customs and Customs? The verse on the "Rite of Sorrow": "Whoever has a rod is in the gate of authority." As for a family that suffers the pain of the same life, and prostrates itself on the grave and does not return, he really does not love his relatives but loves others. Without him, he will be blessed. β
Ying Shao This is for the general Peng Xuandu for his teacher Zhang Huan's "staff" - that is to say, holding a mourning stick to mourn for it - commented: Now those who are mourning for the teacher, most of their teachers are powerful (for example, Zhang Huan, that is, a famous general and a famous Confucian, but before his death, but he was too often), some people are guarding the teacher's funeral, and they encounter their own dead people. Ignore it at all, this kind of behavior of not loving their relatives but loving others. There can only be one explanation - "Shu Fu repays the ear", doing political investment, expecting a return.
It's what Xun meant, Zheng Wengong, what precedent did you mention to me just now, Yan Du, Kong Yu and the like, it's probably the same. But with my current identity and status, do I need to rely on Zheng Xuan's mourning to get political rewards? Zheng Xuan's official is not small, but I am not weak, and I am not a county order or a prince......
Zheng Hun arched his hand and said: "I know the meaning of the envoy, and I don't want to ruin state affairs with unconventional courtesy." No matter how much he quotes the scriptures, after all, the funeral for the teacher is still different from the funeral for the father, and it is not the etiquette commonly observed among the scholars at this time - in other words, even if the father is mourned for three years, then everyone is not required to abide by it - besides, the scholars who do not have a teacher, many have more than one, this has to be guarded for three years and three years, who does the country use as an official, and who does the people use as a pastor?
However, Zheng Wengong immediately changed his head again: "However, it makes Jun Zi different from others. As a scholar and a new sect of Confucianism, the word of etiquette should not be taken lightly. It is better to be ridiculed than to be ridiculed, and it is not enough to be reprimanded as crazy. β
When Shixun heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Zheng Hun is right, now he is not an ordinary scholar or bureaucrat, and he is also a little famous in Confucianism, even if the relevant etiquette is overdone and ridiculed as pedantic, it is better than not doing it, and being reprimanded as arrogant and rude. Unless I'm like Cao Cao, and I plan to break the jar - anyway, no matter how hard I try, you will also see me as "ugly", then I will simply go around breaking his vulgar etiquette to show you - as long as I want to maintain my reputation in the Confucian forest and the literary world, then I have to use vulgar etiquette from now on.
What can I do? Do you really have to resign?
Shi Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said as if talking to himself: "What if the court takes away the love? β
The word "love grabbing", in fact, has not existed in these years, but looking at the meaning of the text, Zheng Hun pondered it a little, and he roughly understood. Some of the tricks carried out by Han Confucianism are even more unbelievable than those of later generations (for example, holding a three-year mourning for a teacher), but most of them have not been systematized, but they are just the whims of some people, or deliberately selling their fame and reputation, so the court does not have the habitual "revenge". However, similar things happen from time to time, for example, Cao Cao died his father before, because the court and the central government couldn't do without him, so Xun Yu and a few others studied and went, and he was not allowed to mourn for three years, but changed it to three months - Cao De was serious about mourning for three years.
It's Xun's meaning, if I resign from the table and the court doesn't agree, what should I do?
Zheng Hun Ci showed a hint of a smile: "If the court does not allow it, it will not be rude to the king." "Whether the court agrees or not, that's the court's business, but you can't help but show this attitude.
It was Xun who was stunned, and then he regained his strength-dare Zheng Wengong didn't want to bombard me away, but just wanted me to express his position, so that I wouldn't have to lose my hard-won good reputation in Confucianism because of small losses. So what's going on...... I think I can do it! (To be continued......)
