Why did Xiao Feng talk to Hai Rui's mother instead of Hai Rui when he came up?

Because Xiao Feng had read Hai Rui's information in his previous life, he knew that this guy was a mother's boy. He was only four years old when his father died, and his mother was twenty-eight years old at the time.

Hai Rui's mother has been widowed since she was twenty-eight years old, and she has worked hard to raise Hai Rui to adulthood. She is also a scholarly family, and her level of knowledge is very high.

Hai Jui's enlightenment education is that his mother personally taught Hai Jui's books such as "The Book of Filial Piety", "University", and "The Mean".

At that time, books were very expensive, and Hai Rui's mother was unwilling to spend money in vain, and it is said that she actually memorized the whole text, Hai Rui of the church!

According to this record, it can be speculated that this is that women were not allowed to take the exam to be officials at that time, otherwise with the level of Hai Rui's mother, at least she would start as a lifter!

And Hai Rui was promoted and became an official, all the way to Nanjing's right capital imperial history, behind which there are his mother's earnest teachings.

It is recorded that Hai Rui was imprisoned by Jiajing for carrying the coffin to the book, and his mother also wrote to him, telling him that life and death are small matters and that he should not give up his principles!

It is precisely under such strict teaching from his mother that Hai Rui has been running all the way to the end of the ages since he could speak, and the Qing officials who have been famous for all the ages have been running wildly to death.

According to other accounts, Hai Jui's life was far from happy.

He should have been too unable to laugh since he was a child, and he didn't have much time to play, his mind was full of rules and etiquette, and he could no longer hold complicated feelings.

Therefore, he is very filial, for the sake of his mother's likes and dislikes and the continuation of incense, he married three wives and divorced two wives, and he was still taking concubines in his old age, which shows that he has no feelings for his wife and concubine, just for childbirth.

History of the fate of the first two wives who were divorced, and the later ones, but

Judging from the results, it can be regarded as a relief.

Because Hai Rui's last wife and concubine both died violently in the same year, the cause of his wife's death is unknown, and the concubine hanged herself.

Hai Jui's life is like a candle, lighting himself, illuminating the people who are like ants in the dark, so that the ants have confidence in the light.

But no one knew that the few little ants closest to the candle flame were mercilessly scorched by the candle flame.

And the person who lit this candle was Hai Jui's mother. His mother made his life and ruined his life, and in the end, he had no children and no relatives, lying desolate in the history books, illuminating future generations.

So Xiao Feng wanted to try to see if he could make Hai Rui's life a little better and more like a normal person. It started with his mother.

At this time, Xiao Feng, who had just won the Sauce Beef Cup Debate Tournament, was pulling the mother and son to share the sauce beef and pig's head meat, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the crying and talking from Hai Rui's inner hall.

Hai Rui's face was also a little unbearable, feeling that his wife had embarrassed him. In fact, he can't blame his wife, it's really Hai Rui's small yard is too small.

Although there is nothing to say about the inside and outside, in fact, there is only a row of rooms, which is just a bit staggered, and you can hear a fart outside the house.

Hai Rui arched his hand: "My lord smiled, the insiders were rude, it was Hai Rui's lax management of the family, my lord, please continue to eat." ”

Xiao Feng glanced at Hai Rui: "Brother Hai, since I have eaten at your house, I can be regarded as a friend."

My sister-in-law cried very sadly, but was there anything difficult about it? Listen to it, maybe I can help. ”

Hai Rui waved his hand again and again: "Home."

It's just a thing, it's just a family matter, and I don't have to worry about it. ”

At this time, Hai Rui's lady who was in the house heard the words outside, she struggled again and again, and finally her mother's nature overcame the fear of rules, pushed open the door and ran out, kneeling in front of Xiao Feng and crying.

"My lord, although the little woman rarely goes out, she has also heard that the great man has a profound sense of humanity.

When adults talk to the lord and mother-in-law, there is no rule for a little woman to show her face, but the little woman's daughter is about to die, so please save her! ”

Hai Rui's face darkened, and he snorted: "Presumptuous! What are you doing, go back to the house! Adults are here, showing up, talking nonsense, what kind of system! ”

Xiao Feng glanced at Hai Rui: "Brother Hai, you are familiar with etiquette, don't you know that there is something to do urgently?" Not to mention that human life is at stake, even other urgent matters should be put before the etiquette.

Mrs. Sister-in-law said slowly, what is the matter. Although I am familiar with medical skills, I only have experience in certain diseases, and if it is really a difficult disease, there are famous doctors in our army, and I can also diagnose and treat the young lady. ”

Hai Rui's wife was shouted angrily by Hai Rui, and half of the courage she had finally accumulated was scared away. Xiao Feng was repeatedly encouraged before he spoke timidly.

"Four days ago, the servant of the house asked for leave to go home to visit relatives, and before leaving, he bought two catties of cakes from the street and wanted to take them home.

The little girl, who was five years old, saw the servant carrying a cake in her hand, thinking that it was her own belongings, and stretched out her hand to eat it. The servant took a piece of paper from the paper bag and gave it to the little girl, and went home.

The little girl was eating, and when the master came back, he asked the little girl where she got the cake, and the little girl said that it was given by the servant. The old man asked me if I had ever bought cakes, and I said no.

The old man was furious, saying that the little girl was an official eunuch and begging for food.

Corrupt Guidelines. And as a woman, how can she accept a man's gift casually?

At that time, the old man reprimanded the little girl, saying that the little girl had no family style, was rude and unruly, and was not his daughter, it was better to starve to death, but he still thought it was his daughter.

Who knew that from that day on, the little girl refused to eat a mouthful of food, and only drank a little water every day, and it has been four days until today. The little woman tried every means to persuade her, and even beat and scolded and intimidated, but the little girl refused to eat.

Just now the little woman took the meat sent by the adult and went to see the little girl, the little girl was delirious, but she still refused to eat, and the little woman was helpless and could only ask the adult for help. ”

Xiao Feng looked at Hai Rui, and Hai Rui showed a slight look of remorse on his face: "At that time, under the anger of the lower officials, he really spoke more heavily. Unexpectedly, the little girl took it seriously, and her family persuaded her many times, but she refused to eat. ”

Xiao Feng suppressed his anger and asked lightly, "Have you personally persuaded her?" ”

Hai Rui was stunned: "No." What the lower officials said is not wrong, but I really don't know how to persuade each other. ”

Xiao Feng was furious: "I see that you don't know how to persuade each other, you think from the bottom of your heart that if a girl can die with her full name, it will not be bad!" ”

Hai Rui's tone also hardened: "My lord's words, the lower officials don't dare to take it." People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, am I willing to starve my daughter to death? ”

Xiao Feng looked at him coldly: "Then you go and persuade your daughter to eat!" Apologize to her and tell her that you're talking! ”

Hai Rui said angrily: "There is nothing wrong with the lower officials! Adults are so strong, do you want to overpower people? ”

Xiao Feng looked at Hai Rui's mother: "Old lady, do you also want to watch your granddaughter starve to death?" ”

Hai Rui's mother was silent for a moment: "Naturally I don't want to, but."

Hai Rui was not at fault, let him apologize against his will, and the old body also felt inappropriate.

Rui'er, you go and persuade Nannan, if she is willing to eat obediently, it is the best, if not, it is her own life. ”

The old lady spoke, Hai Rui no longer had a hard top, turned around and walked to the house, Xiao Feng followed unceremoniously, Hai Rui wiped her tears, and quickly ran inside.

Only Hai Rui's mother and Zhang Wuxin were left on the stone table, Zhang Wuxin was murderous, half-withered and half-honored, but the old lady was not afraid, still eating sauced beef by herself.

Zhang Wuxin ate the pig's head meat with his head bored, and sighed secretly in his heart, this old lady's aura is so strong, if she is a person who practices martial arts, she will definitely be able to become a great weapon, but unfortunately it is a pity, she is too old and too late.

A little girl of five years old, wearing a small coat of woven cloth, curled up on the edge of the bed, a small lump, with a round face that was no longer ruddy, with a withered yellow color.

Next to her bed was a plate of beef in sauce, a plate of pork head, and a bowl of steaming rice porridge. The scent kept getting into her nose, and she swallowed involuntarily, but her eyes were tightly closed.

Hai Rui's heart was also sour, but his face did not change, he stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "Nan, get up and eat." ”

Nan Nan opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at Hai Rui, with a look of surprise on her face, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes. But she shook her head and closed her eyes again.

"I want to be a good daughter, I want to be the daughter of the Hai family, I don't eat."

Hai Rui was silent, he didn't know what to say. He always felt that he was not wrong, what was wrong with educating his children?

That's what my mother taught me when I was a child.

I've never made a mistake like this!

In despair, she collapsed against the wall, covering her mouth and crying.

In the past few days, Hai Rui refused to come to see Nannan, she thought that it would be good for Hai Rui to come, but she didn't expect that the last hope was also dashed.

Xiao Feng stepped forward, stood at the head of the bed, and looked at Hai Rui condescendingly, Hai Rui hung his head, and he was a little overwhelmed, and his momentum was not so strong.

"Your daughter must regard you as a hero and a role model, so she will take your words as a guide, as long as you don't deny your previous words, she will not be relieved.

Just like you do to your mother, you will only blindly obey and never think, in fact, your mother may sometimes make mistakes. ”

Hai Rui raised his head abruptly and looked at Xiao Feng unconvinced, and Xiao Feng looked at him coldly.

"I'm not convinced, right, let me ask you, is your mother not wrong about eating beef just now?"

Hai Rui retorted: "That's just a trivial matter, even if the adults are reasonable, it can't be said that the mother is at fault." Adults live in temples, and their knowledge is naturally higher than that of their mothers. ”

Xiao Feng sneered: "In this case, your daughter has been on hunger strike for four days, and you have not come to the house to persuade you.

Is it right that your mother, the only person in the family who can command you, is slow to persuade you? ”

Hai Rui was speechless for a moment, but in his mind, all the mistakes of his parents must be the fault of his children, so he retorted loudly.

"Even if Hai Rui is ruthless in this matter, he can't blame his mother."

Xiao Feng laughed and said, "There are parents in the world, right? ”

The word "of course" was already on Hai Rui's lips, and he suddenly remembered that the old gray man was coming, hard

I bit these two words back alive, and I used too much force to almost bite my tongue.

Xiao Feng looked at Hai Rui and said: "Do you think that it is your father's responsibility to educate your children, and you are based on etiquette and law, and you are the foundation of officials."

Even if your daughter really starves to death, you only have heartache and no guilt, because you are not wrong, right? ”

Hai Rui raised his head again and looked at Xiao Feng: "My lord, isn't it?" ”

Xiao Feng suddenly asked: "Hai Rui, where the etiquette is, is it different from person to person, or is it the same and you have to follow the etiquette and law?" ”

Hai Rui said proudly: "Of course, everyone is treated equally, and the etiquette must be followed." I guess the lord is asking me if the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the people when he breaks the law, right? ”

Hai Rui suddenly turned from defense to offense, Xiao Feng just smiled faintly: "If that's the case, how should you answer?" ”

Hai Rui's spirits lifted, this is his knowledge dessert, even if you Xiao Feng is good in other aspects, I am also very confident in this!

"Your Excellency can know that in the ritual law, the Son of Heaven is not equal to the common people, and the sins of the Son of Heaven can only be punished by God. The change of dynasties has always been a punishment from heaven!

Those who are courtiers, whether they are direct advice, or carry the coffin to the book, are all fulfilling the responsibility of the courtiers, but there is no punishment for the gift of the Son of Heaven!

Parents are at fault, children can cry blood advice, death to block, this is filial piety, monarchs and ministers are like fathers and sons, the Son of Heaven violates the law, and the ministers are just responsible!

In the ritual law, there are not only special regulations for the Son of Heaven, but also for scholars and doctors. ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "Then what if it is two civilians, it is also against the etiquette law, should they be treated equally?" ”

Hai Rui cautiously jumped over a small pit: "My lord, same."

For civilians, there is still a distinction between generations, and there should also be a distinction between those who are of different generations. As I just said, fathers and sons cannot be treated equally. ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "Then if two civilians, of the same generation, also violate the etiquette law, should they be treated equally?" ”

Hai Rui thought about it again and again, and after making sure that there was no pit, he nodded. Xiao Feng sighed and looked at the girl lying on the bed with a faint breath.

"Hai Rui, you touch your conscience and say, if it is your son who is lying on the bed, let alone asking for a piece of cake, even if he steals someone else's cake, can you starve him to death ruthlessly?"

Hai Rui was blindfolded at once, and he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word.

Xiao Feng once again made the two highest priority concepts in his mind collide violently like pinions, and collided with fierce sparks.

A small gear is: there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. This sentence was repeatedly taught to him by his mother, and it was also the unfinished business that he practiced and worked hard all his life.

It stands to reason that Hai Rui's family is not very poor, his father was an official and left his family more than a dozen acres of land. Hai Rui's mother is also very hardworking, and has been working tirelessly since she started a family, so she is not a poor family.

Hai Ruidang's teachings, although the official is not big, but the money is also okay, and the families in Fujian and other places attach great importance to education, and they donate a lot to the county school palace.

Although Hai Jui is not greedy, these donations are often distributed to teachers at all levels in the form of allowances, and the provost is also a part of the secretary. This is courtesy, not greed.

Therefore, from any point of view, Hai Jui should not be so poor that he can't even eat meat

I had to wait until my mother's birthday to buy two catties of meat.

Some historians believe that Hai Rui's family's economic problems lie in Hai Rui's frequent wives and concubines.

Hai Rui married three wives in his life and took two concubines. From ancient times to the present, marrying a wife is a very expensive act. Although the ancient mother-in-law may not force you to buy a house, the bride price is still indispensable.

Not to mention taking a concubine, a good girl, you will be a concubine, what else can you do except for money? You are handsome, so are you willing to give your daughter to you as a junior?

Of course, for other nimble officials, this expense may not be a big deal, but Hai Jui is the first Qing official in the ages, and these expenses are enough to make him bankrupt.

So did Hai Rui marry a wife and take a concubine to covet beauty? By no means, although he is also a normal man, he is really to give birth to a son and continue the incense.

Therefore, judging from Hai Rui's historical performance of listening to his mother's words the most, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, and this concept must have been repeatedly instilled in him by his mother, and the priority is extremely high.

The second pinion is: Ritual is the way of the saints and cannot be blasphemed. This is also a career that his mother has repeatedly taught him, practiced all his life, and made him famous for eternity.

But Xiao Feng's question is asked about the death hole of etiquette: there has never been a etiquette law that says that if a man steals something and a woman steals something, it is a woman's mistake that is greater.

Although there are actually many patriarchal rituals, such as adultery and family conflicts, which are all patriarchal, there is really no such thing as stealing!

Hai Rui's daughter asked the servant for a piece of cake to eat, and she made a mistake

However, it is not as good as stealing a piece of cake to eat, so Xiao Feng's question is logically very reasonable.

If your son stole a piece of cake from someone else, and made a greater mistake than your daughter's, would you bear to watch him starve to death?

At this time, of course, Hai Rui can play tricks and say that he will. Anyway, I don't have a son, and having a son doesn't necessarily steal things, so no matter what I say, you Xiao Feng has to listen to it.

The problem is that if Hai Rui was such a person, such a thing would not have happened, and Xiao Feng would not have to ask him like this. Hai Rui Haigangfeng is a person who will not cheat in his life.

Hai Rui was silent for a long time, and finally spoke with difficulty: "No." ”

Xiao Feng didn't bother to ridicule him why he wouldn't, and asked bluntly: "If you need to apologize in order to save your son's life, are you willing?" ”

Hai Rui was silent for a longer time this time, more pinions clicking sparks in his head, and finally spoke: "Ken." ”

Xiao Feng took a step back and pointed at Nan Nan with his hand: "Please." ”
