Chapter 014: Brainy and Blind Happy
"Two sons, please."
I don't know how long it took, Shen Tujia finally finished his official duties, rubbed his forehead tiredly, and then invited Liu Pengzu and Liu Sheng into the pavilion and beckoned them to sit down.
Raising his head thoughtfully and moving his gaze back and forth on the two of them, Shen Tujia's attention was inevitably attracted by the younger Liu Sheng.
"I have heard the name of Gongzi Shengren and filial piety for a long time, all over Sanqin;"
"Now, since the son has worshipped the old man as a teacher, the old man might as well ask each other with 'filial piety'."
"Please also ask the son to try: What is filial piety?"
Seeing Shen Tujia's inquiring posture, Liu Sheng couldn't help but sit up straighter, lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, but finally scratched his head with a smile.
"I'm not afraid of the prime minister's jokes, students have always disliked literature, and they really can't talk about any insights in the allusions of the sages and the righteousness of poems and books;"
"As for filial piety, students can't say anything big······"
"Hmmm······"
"Since the prime minister asked, then the student, try to speak; If something is wrong, don't be angry. ”
Speaking with a self-deprecating face, Liu Sheng pondered for a moment, and finally raised his head calmly.
"Students feel that filial piety means filial piety to their parents and clan elders;"
"Among them, the one who must be especially filial is the mother who has the grace to give birth and nurture."
"Because the children are all born after their mothers were pregnant for nine months, and they fought hard to walk in front of the ghost gate, and they went through a lot of hardships before they gave birth."
"After that, the mother will also teach her children to babble, toddle, and teach her children how to behave in the world."
"With such a great kindness, if the children still don't want to be filial to their mother, then even if this person has great ability, I'm afraid it won't have anything to do with the word 'human'."
Patiently listening to Liu Sheng say his understanding of 'filial piety', Shen Tujia nodded with satisfaction, and let out a long sigh leisurely.
"Childe is right."
"The grace of birth and nurturing is indeed the greatest kindness in the world; No matter how you repay it, you can't repay it in your lifetime. ”
It is precisely for this reason that the Han family rules the world with filial piety, and even if it selects officials, it also attaches great importance to private morality; And the most important thing in private morality is filial piety. ”
Saying this softly, Shen Tujia looked at Liu Sheng again, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Then the son might as well talk about it, what should be done to be filial to his parents?"
As soon as these words came out, most of the restrained color on Liu Sheng's face dissipated, and between his eyebrows, he also had a little confidence.
"Students believe that there is no specific measure of filial piety to parents, and it is mainly based on heart;"
"Whether it is a famous family or a poor farmer, filial piety is nothing more than to let parents suffer less and enjoy more blessings."
"In addition to making parents live better and more comfortable, we should also let parents worry less and make parents happy; If someone bullies both parents, as a child, you should also stand up and protect your parents from being bullied by others. ”
"But having said that, there are still differences between people and people."
"For example, it is not difficult for wealthy families to make their parents happy, but it is not so easy for poor farmers;"
In the same way, it can be said that it is easy for a wealthy family to make their parents carefree and not bullied; But for poor farmers, it is even more difficult. ”
"That's why the student said: To distinguish whether a person is filial or not, we can only look at what the person thinks in his heart, not what the person has done."
"Because if you only look at the deeds, then among the poor peasant households, I am afraid that no one can be called a 'filial son'······"
As Liu Sheng's words fell, Shen Tujia smiled with appreciation, and even clapped his hands lightly without holding back.
"Color!"
"Childe's remarks today, even if the old man listens to it, he feels that he has learned a lot."
"In particular, the view of 'distinguishing filial piety and discussing the heart regardless of traces' really made the old man enlightened and benefited a lot."
"The prime minister praised ······"
praised without hesitation, and when Liu Sheng smiled and said 'false praise', Shen Tujia nodded with a smile, and looked at Liu Pengzu beside Liu Sheng.
"Yu Gongzi, there are many rumors in the market: Gongzi Peng Zu, the debate can be called a must!"
"The old man heard that since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve;"
"Childe might as well say: Is it difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety? If it's really hard to do both, how should you choose? ”
"Should we be loyal to the monarch and serve the lord, or should we be filial to our parents and elders?"
Seeing that Shen Tujia asked about himself again, Liu Pengzu just smiled indifferently;
But after hearing Shen Tujia's question, the smile on Liu Pengzu's face immediately froze on his face.
"Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to ······"
He let out a thoughtful murmur, and only a moment later, Liu Pengzu's face was once again covered with the smile from before, as well as a little bit of confidence.
"The prime minister immediately asked, and the students did not dare not answer."
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult, and it is said that ordinary people are in a dilemma between being loyal to the king and serving the lord and being filial to their parents;"
"And in most cases, loyalty to the monarch means disobedience to filial piety, filial piety to parents, and the difficult situation of disloyalty."
"Regarding the question of which one should be chosen when loyalty and filial piety are both difficult and difficult, in the past few hundred years, it can be said that there have been many discussions;"
"But for students, there is no 'dilemma' in this problem······
Speaking of this, Liu Pengzu smiled even more, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes when he looked at Shen Tujia.
"The common man is caught between loyalty and filial piety, because his parents need to be taken care of, but the monarch also needs to be loyal himself; There is simply no way to do both. ”
"But the student has lived in the palace since he was a child, and his father is the lord of the world; For students, loyalty is filial piety, and filial piety is loyalty. ”
"As for the dilemma of ordinary people, it is difficult for students to understand their predicament if they have not experienced what they have experienced;"
"The prime minister asks students to make choices for ordinary people, which is really difficult for some strong people······"
said lightly, but it made Shen Tujia stunned!
After seeing the cunning in Liu Pengzu's eyes and the faint smile on his face that would never be offensive, Shen Tujia finally took a deep breath, and then nodded slowly.
"The old man has lived for more than 70 years, and among the people he has seen, there are not many people who are good at debating."
"But among these people, there are only a few people who are as eloquent as Childe······"
vaguely expressed his recognition of Liu Pengzu, and Shen Tujia finally stood up, twisting his waist a little regardless of his image, and moving his sore back.
On the side of the activists, Shen Tujia did not forget to continue to ask questions.
"The temperament of the two sons, the old man already knows it in his heart."
"Next, the two sons might as well talk about whether it is right or wrong to talk about the fact that Your Majesty and Mrs. Jia accidentally encountered a wild boar when they went to Shanglin Yuan to play?"
