Chapter 401 Father and Daughter Assess Prospective Uncle, How to Choose Between Loyalty, Filial Piety, Benevolence and Righteousness
The second princess told her parents about the test results of these two times, Ning Guifei was as happy as her, if she was really such a good child, she would also rest assured that she would hand over her daughter to him, but Emperor Tai'an disdained, "What can these little tricks try?" You women are shallow. ”
These words offended all the women's families, Ning Guifei didn't dare to say it, and the second princess was dissatisfied, "Where am I shallow?" Okay, okay, I'm shallow, my father can come up with an unfathomable idea? ”
Emperor Tai'an smiled slyly and asked his daughter, "What is the third time to try?" ”
The second princess said, "Try Ren." "If you are brave and clean, try this benevolence again, and if you are a good person, you will be able to marry.
The emperor said: "Filial piety is the first, as a person in the world, which can lack wisdom, bravery, benevolence and righteousness?" It is not advisable for you to try these things separately, so you will say that this is the first time, he is indeed not moved by women, but have you forgotten that a weak woman in distress in the barren mountains and mountains, and he is unwilling to ask him to send him home, is it too cold-blooded? If, because he cherishes his feathers, the woman returns home alone, and on the way home she loses her chastity or her life, it is unkind; In the second round, he knew that there were thieves in the temple attacking, and he was not afraid of bullies raising sticks to defend himself, which was indeed a brave word, but people like ours, there is also a saying that the son of a daughter can't sit down, he is not a martial artist, but he is afraid that it is also the kung fu of the three-legged cat and the spirit of some young people, he is not wise to attack rashly, and then the worse situation, if this time it is really a thief attack, he recklessly dispatched to be injured to death by the thief, how big a blow to his parents, this is unfilial piety. Do you think he did a good job both times? ”
Emperor Tai'an is worthy of being a monarch, and these words convinced Ning Guifei's mother and daughter, if they are really much more advanced than them, but the second princess is not happy, the person she likes, why is her father so bad?
If you say so, those generals and families, whose ancestors have defended their families and died on the battlefield for generations, are loyal and famous generals to the monarch of the country, but are they not cruel to their wives and children? Even famous ministers and strong generals are still like this, how can they just be a young scholar, how can they do better than them? ”
The second princess said the same reason, but the emperor was not happy, she hadn't married He Ziying yet, why did she protect him like this!
"Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are really difficult to take care of, this needs to be trade-offs, the first round he barely passed, because there are others around him, not to the point of black and white, if he is the only one, he does not send the woman home she may be in danger, he sent the woman home he may lose his reputation, this is what really needs him to choose, but in the second round, he obviously made an improper choice, to put it mildly, what does the monk in the temple have to do with him, it is worth him sacrificing himself to protect others? At that time, he should have hid in the house with his classmates and did not come out, if the thieves really deceived him to come to the door, he would defend again, after all, he went out rashly, and he couldn't say that he could help him, and the monks in the temple were also distracted to take care of him, and if he really had an accident, was it these monks or his parents who were really sad? ”
The father and daughter almost argued for these two rounds, and the second princess said that he would ask his father to set up a clever game, which could test his loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and loyalty at the same time. Emperor Tai'an smiled, of course he had to try.
He Ciying felt that he had been a little moldy recently, how could he always encounter some messy things, looking at the grandparents and grandchildren kneeling in front of his carriage, he was very anxious.
Today, he should go to his family's grange to inspect the harvest, his parents said that he is not diligent and does not divide the grain, and he is about to start a family, and he still doesn't understand anything, how can he afford this family when he marries a wife and has children in the future.
He Ziying is very dissatisfied with his parents always looking down on him, as if he will starve to death if he leaves his parents, and he looks down on people too much, he has grown up so big, he has hands, feet and brains, and now he doesn't dare to say that he can support his family and support himself.
The old beggar stopped his car and kowtowed, saying in the northern dialect that his little grandson was seriously ill, and begged a good Samaritan to help him and see his little grandson.
The grandfather and grandson described it as really pitiful, and He Ziying was not a hard-hearted person, so he let them get into his carriage, and asked the coachman to turn around and go back to the city to see the child.
The old beggar knelt in the carriage and kowtowed again and again to thank him, the carriage was bumpy, he did not kneel and knocked his head on the cushion, and immediately printed a black mark out, he was very embarrassed, he was busy wiping it with his hands, but the more he wiped it, the dirtier it became, and his hands were not clean, which made him embarrassed, kneeling in the carriage and feeling uneasy, his hands were rubbing his dirty clothes repeatedly, as if this would wipe his hands clean, but his clothes were not cleaner than his hands, how could he be a beggar and the word clean.
He Ciying sighed, took a plain white handkerchief and dipped some tea for him to wipe, the old beggar took it with trembling hands, but wiped his face for the little grandson lying in his arms, the little beggar wiped his face clean, and then revealed a clean and beautiful appearance, looking quite white and tender, unlike the old beggar who has gone through the vicissitudes of wind and frost, if he changes into clean and beautiful clothes, he is also a pleasing child.
He Ciying let him sit and talk, the old beggar sighed a few times, sat on the floor of the carriage with his legs bent, sat upright, and tried not to get to the clean and beautiful carriage of the master's house.
He talked to the old beggar on the road, and asked him how he begged, what he used to do, and what about the child's parents?
The old beggar lamented a few times, saying that he was originally from the Liang country, and after the war, the country was ruined, and he also broke a leg, and fled with the homeless, and lost everything in the household registration on the way to escape, so he was classified as a refugee by the government, and everyone avoided walking when they saw them, so he still had a lot of strength, and no one would want such a worker slave. The little grandson was not his own grandson, but a child left behind by a pair of parents on the way to escape, and it was difficult for an able-bodied adult at that time to make a living, let alone with such a young child who could only eat and drink and not work, his parents abandoned him, and when the old beggar found him, he was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to cry. The men who were with the old beggar saw the boy and discussed that it would be better to sell him and make a profit. Although they fled at that time, it was not a famine year, and it was enough to beg or steal some crops along the way to eat, so this child was picked up by a group of beggars on the side of the road, but no one said that they wanted to eat him, and who would want to eat his own kind if he was not starving to death?
The old beggar thinks that who will buy such a young child and send it to a childless family with good intentions, I am afraid that people will not want it, a beggar's child, sick and dirty, they can't adopt a healthy and clean one?
The old beggar thought about it, and was reluctant to let such a young child be gone, so it was a life, so he took him with him, thinking that there would be a suitable person who wanted to adopt him in the future, and then sent him there, but he was raised for six years, and a little beggar who followed the old beggar, who would come to ask about it.
