Chapter 286: Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the tiger mountains
Regarding this "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures", Su Lin was a human being, and he had heard of the great name of this painting on earth and in the Confucian and Taoist worlds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures" on the earth were written in the Yuan Dynasty, and most of the filial piety stories in them are based on the "Biography of Filial Piety" edited by Liu Xiang, a scholar of the Western Han Dynasty. In the world of Confucianism and Taoism, there is also a similar "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures", in which the story is similar, but they are all endowed with the idea of filial piety, which is transformed by the only holy word "filial piety", and it can become an illusion and trap people in it.
Filial piety is the first of all kinds. Among the hundreds of schools of thought, it is not only Confucianism that advocates filial piety, but basically filial piety is a recognized virtue of the human race. Wu established the country with filial piety, and through the ideological power of filial piety, the livelihood of the people in the country can be improved, the family is harmonious, and the probability of having a great filial son is also greatly increased.
And this "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Map" is the treasure of the entire Wu country, and there is no chance to see it on weekdays. Only when Wu has a great filial son, will it alarm the monarch and use this "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures" to test the filial piety of the filial son.
Among them, there are twenty-four layers of filial piety illusion, which is the story of twenty-four filial piety. Once filial piety enters it and wants to come out, he must go through this twenty-four layers of filial piety illusions, and go through the comprehension and test of the profound thoughts of filial piety. Every time he passed through the illusion, Wu Guoyun was added to help him improve his literary position.
Being able to pass through a twenty-four illusion of filial piety can already be called a filial son, but only after going through the twenty-four illusions can one comprehend the true filial piety. After all, the profound idea of filial piety also has high and low levels. The filial piety to parents naturally has a weight.
In the state of Wu, for thousands of years, only a few two people have completely passed the test of twenty-four filial piety and become twenty-four filial piety. As for the ordinary filial sons who are elected by the state and county, they can generally only experience three or four layers of filial piety.
These filial sons who have pursued filial piety, once they pass the test of twenty-four filial piety, even if they have only experienced one layer of filial piety, they will have national fortune and external forces to help them break through the literary position. Even a Meng Tong who has not yet enlightened his mind can forcibly open his mind and obtain the corresponding literary power, and then be arranged by Wu Guojun to a certain official position.
In the past, Wu Guo had a term of the Ministry of Rites, which was served by a filial son who had passed the test of the eighteen filial piety illusions. It can be seen that in a country like Wu, which is based on filial piety, as long as you are filial to your parents and carry forward filial piety, even if Wen Tao's talent is not good, she still has the opportunity to get ahead and be reused by the monarch.
However, although this "Twenty-four Filial Piety Maps" has a huge role in testing filial piety and helping Wu Guo to select talents with filial piety. But at the same time, it has always had the role of punishing unfilial people. Once a person with unfilial piety enters the illusion of filial piety in the "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures", even if the literary rank is as high as Confucianism, he will be directly punished by the filial piety thought in it, making him reflect on and repent, and even die of life......
"Su Lin, you are also a Confucian scholar of my Wu Kingdom. I believe you know the role of this "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures"? Even if you go through the struggle of Taishi Wu Jin now, you only need to pass the test of a filial piety illusion. However, if you really have unfilial thoughts in your heart, or have done unfilial things, even if you only have this illusion of filial piety, it will be easy to punish your heart and make you never recover!"
Su Zhong frowned slightly, reminding Su Lin on the side.
"Ah, second uncle, what ...... Last time my brother was in Fengle County, he sued the vicious woman of his stepmother Su Liu to the yamen, and then ...... Su Liu committed suicide in prison, is this considered his brother's unfilial piety?"
As soon as she heard this, Su Lin didn't speak, but her sister Su Ru became worried, and hurriedly explained to Su Lin, "But second uncle, my brother is here to save Ru'er." Su Liu is a vicious woman, she has abused me and my brother since she was a child, and that time she tied up Ru'er and forced Ru'er to marry...... My brother is also for Ru'er's ......"
"This ...... It's a bit hard to determine. Although it is said that the Su Liu clan is as vicious as a snake and scorpion, everything is deserved. But Surin, she's your stepmother after all, and you're going to watch your stepmother go to jail...... I'm afraid it's up to you to judge!"
Regarding what happened to Su Lin's family in Fengle County, Su Zhong had actually investigated it a long time ago, and he had a complete understanding of the causes and consequences of Su Liu's family. However, even so, he still can't make a judgment.
"According to my own judgment, Second Uncle, what does this mean?" Su Lin said strangely.
"Filial piety and unfilial piety were originally distinct. But in this matter of yours, Su Liu, as your stepmother, is no longer worthy of the identity of a stepmother for her vicious crimes against you and Ru'er. And you also forgave Su Liu at the beginning, and then Su Liu suffered the consequences. It stands to reason that you can't be considered unfilial...... But the result of the fact is that your stepmother died because of you...... You've got to get over it!
To put it simply, you have a clear conscience and feel that this is not unfilial, so ...... On the contrary, if you feel guilty and feel that it is because you have caused Su Liu to hang yourself, then you have planted the seeds of unfilial piety, although outsiders seem to you to be not within the scope of unfilial piety, but you yourself have already blamed yourself for being unfilial...... As a result, you may be caught by the filial piety idea of "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures", and you will be punished ......"
Su Zhong explained simply, this is the wonder of the world of ideas. The same thing, when viewed from different angles, has different results. Outsiders' attitudes and outcomes towards things may be very different from their own conclusions about things.
Even if it's one thing, everyone thinks you're not doing anything wrong. But if you feel that you are wrong, then once you encounter a thought against you, you will show a flaw and be hit with a blow.
"I see! Then the second uncle doesn't have to worry. All the while, I didn't feel like I was doing anything wrong. A vicious woman like Su Liu will not change her dead nature, this is her inevitable end, and she deserves it. In my understanding of filial piety, there will be no shadows and flaws. Even after experiencing the torture of the twenty-four filial piety illusions, I can still maintain my inner independence and firmness, and I will not waver in my ......"
Su Lin smiled and said, "If those people in the capital want to rely on this "Twenty-four Filial Piety Diagram" alone to punish me and try to destroy my will and thoughts, then it is too whimsical, right?"
In fact, the reason why Su Lin thinks this way is because he comes from a society with a high degree of civilization and openness on earth. If he was really a native of Wu, he would be able to understand the intentions of those people and Su Zhong's worries.
After all, Wu is a country of filial piety, and every citizen is basically labeled with the ideological label of "must be filial" from birth. For the words of parents, almost all of them are absolutely obeyed, and they dare not disobey, even if these words and orders are harmful to their own interests and even their lives, it is incumbent on them from the point of filial piety.
This is also why, Su Lin and Su Ru, who were oppressed by Su Liu's family before, almost all of them were submissive, and they didn't dare to resist at all. Among them, it is this kind of "foolish filial piety" thinking that is at work, and in the same way, if it was the "foolish and filial piety" Su Lin in the past, in the face of Su Liu's self-hanging, he would definitely feel that it was because of himself that he blamed himself as an "unfilial person".
However, fortunately, Su Lin's dominant way of thinking is mainly from some concepts from the earth, and he has not been labeled by Wu Guo's filial piety thoughts, so even if Su Liu hanged himself in prison, Su Lin did not have a trace of guilt and self-blame at all, let alone the guilt of "unfilial piety".
"Second uncle, apart from this "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures", are there any obstacles on the way? I believe that there will not be only one or two people who want to harm me, and they wish I died on the way to the capital......
Su Lin is too lazy to count the enemies of the family he has provoked now, and now that he is famous, even many families who have no grievances with him may take the initiative to ask for trouble for various reasons. Not to mention that at the feet of such a mixed Son of Heaven in the capital, five of the eight Confucian families are in the capital, and there are many semi-saints living in seclusion, as well as royal ideological powerhouses, which can be said to be potential enemies of Su Lin.
"I don't know for the time being, but you have also read the letter sent by the eldest brother. Above the court, the Ran family is united with the cabinet to attack you, and the Zhao family Zhao Tian is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, including Dali Temple and Zongren Mansion are their sphere of influence.
Moreover, the Zhao family's power in the Ministry of War is entrenched, although the current Shangshu of the Ministry of War is the eldest brother, it is difficult to ensure that the officials of the Ministry of War will find you trouble. In addition, the Xiang family also has many henchmen in the court, and what worries me the most is the Taifu Fangzheng heart, including Li Yuncong, the secretary of the Criminal Department...... Tut-tut...... Boy, if you do the math, you will really step into the tiger's den in Longtan when you go to the capital this time!"
It's not that he doesn't know, he was shocked, Su Zhongdu sweated hard for Su Lin, he was just a mere lifter, and he provoked so many behemoths. Ordinary people, who are not conscientious and honest at home to study and research ideas, looking forward to the national examination list of high school jinshi. Those high-ranking families can't afford to provoke any of them, where is there like Su Lin, who has just been lifted by someone, and he has caused a lot of trouble.
"Haha, second uncle, I'm not scared yet, why are you afraid?"
Su Lin didn't have the slightest fear, but clenched his fists and said, "Even if it's the Longtan Tiger's Den, I, Su Lin, have to break through." Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains!"
