Chapter 144: Ruling the World with Filial Piety (Asking for Subscription, Asking for Recommendation)

Wei and Jin inherited each other, ruling the world with filial piety. This matter did not attract the attention of later historians, and many historical books did not mention it, which was far less controversial than the Qing Tan Xuanyan. It seems that it is neither characteristic nor effective, and has little to do with the control of chaos in the world. This is something that advocates did not expect.

Why should the Jin Dynasty rule the world with filial piety? Because the heavenly position comes from Zen, that is, from the skillful seizure, if we advocate ruling the world with loyalty, the foothold will be unstable, the handling of things will be tricky, and it will be difficult to make arguments, so we must rule the world with filial piety. Lin Yi is the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he should set an example for hundreds of officials and people in the world, and he should put this filial piety in the first place no matter what, so although Sima Shu had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, he finally died in humiliation at the hands of a woman, and he was burdened by this filial piety, Lin Yi would never allow such a thing to happen again.

This is because the basis of the ideological policy of "ruling the world with filial piety" is hypocritical, and it is not conducive to governing the country. Jia knows that it is acting, but he can't take it seriously, but he must act seriously. Turning over the historical books of the two Jin Dynasty, it can be seen that the drama was talked about very well at that time, which caused a certain climate.

The first is that there seem to be a lot of filial sons. The Book of Jin contains 14 filial sons, which is not much, and the biography contains 55 people who are said to be "filial piety" and "filial piety in mourning", which is more than three times that of "The Biography of Filial Piety". Wang Xiang, who was included in the "Twenty-four Filial Piety" in later generations, was a veteran minister of Emperor Wu of Jin. The popular Li Mi's "Chen Qing Table" has touched countless readers in future generations with its pure filial piety and emotion. Wu Yinzhi, who is famous for "drinking greedy springs and feeling refreshed", is also a great filial son. He only ate pickles for dinner during the funeral. Yin Zhongkan is blind in one eye, which is a glorious symbol of his great filial piety, and the biography of the Book of Jin: "My father has been ill for many years, Zhong Kan is undressed, he learns medical skills, investigates its subtlety, and tears when he takes medicine, and then he glances." "The writer Yu Xianxiao is even more difficult: his mother and brother are in Xiangcheng. Shile was killed when he broke the city, "he did not explain the woods, did not marry the eunuchs, did not drink and meat, and hung for twenty years." ”

Filial piety is a moral norm advocated by the imperial court, and unfilial piety has of course become a serious crime. "The World Says Praise" quoted Chen Liudong Zhongdaori: "Every time I see the national pardon book, I will forgive the rebellion and rebellion, and the grandson will kill the king's parents, and the son will kill his parents, and he will not be pardoned, thinking that the king's law will not tolerate it." It can be seen that the sin of unfilial piety in the Jin Dynasty was worse than rebellion. It's a big deal.

Therefore, the easiest way to bring down a person is to buckle him into a big hat of "unfilial piety". When Wei Kongrong and Ji Kang were killed, the superficial charges were "unfilial piety".

If you want to stink the enemy, you must expose their sins of unfilial piety. Tao Kanping Du Tao and Du's general Wang Gong confronted him, and Tao shouted to him: "Du Tao is a Yizhou official, embezzling treasury money, and his father is not mourning." Lady of the Queen. What is the ensuing also?" quarreling and exposing each other's shortcomings is also indispensable for exposing unfilial piety. Henan Yin Yuchun and Sikong Jia Chong quarreled at the banquet, and Jia scolded Yu: "If the father and the elder don't return to support, what will they say?" Yu scolded back: "Jia Chong is fierce in the world." Youer alone!"

The moral binding force of filial piety has reached such a strong strength that even celebrities such as Hu Mufuzhi and Xie Kun, who are known for breaking the etiquette and unruliness, can distribute nude clothes and molest women. But none of them are burdened by "unfilial piety".

Therefore, "ruling the world with filial piety" has indeed created a certain climate. In order to implement the policy of "ruling the world with filial piety", the rulers of the Western Jin Dynasty had many actions.

As the founding monarch. Emperor Wu Sima Yan took the lead and set an example. In June of the fourth year of Taishi, Emperor Wu issued an edict: "There are those who are studious, filial, faithful, and innocent and disobedient, and they will be punished; "The Book of Filial Piety" is a work that anyone must learn from top to bottom, from emperors to commoners.

Imperial court ceremonies, especially funerals, were more frequent. Because funerals are directly related to filial piety, they attach great importance to them, and some problems are handled too strictly, even to the point of harshness and pedantic. There were once ministers who entertained guests during the period of filial piety, and not only were they dismissed, but even all the officials who participated in the banquet were fined.

One of the most powerful measures is the Zhongzheng Gate, the so-called "Township Clean-up Discussion". Due to the implementation of the nine-product Zhongzheng system, scholars must first be evaluated by Zhongzheng, if there is a stain of unfilial piety, Zhongzheng will not pass. "The Legend of the World: Ren Sheng" notes: "(Ruan) Jian also regarded himself as Kuangda. Father's funeral, the line encountered heavy snow and freezing, so he ordered Junyi. He was ordered to set up a millet for his guests, and he ate it simply, so that he was cleared and abolished for several or thirty years. "I ate a little meat soup under such a special circumstances, because I was stuck by Zhongzheng during my father's funeral, and I couldn't use it for nearly 30 years. Chen Shou, the author of "Three Kingdoms", "was bereaved by his father, had a disease, made the maid pills, and the guests went to see him, and the township party thought it was derogatory." and Shuping, sitting is a stagnation for many years. Yan Zhen was a loyal and upright man, his father died when he was young, and his stepmother framed him for stealing the gold treasure left by his father, and sued the government, so he was "cleared for more than ten years". Such examples also include Wang Shi, Zhou Xian, etc. Zhongzheng gatekeeper can be said to be the Jin Dynasty's organizational measures to implement filial piety to rule the world.

So, how should we judge the "Zhongzheng gatekeeper"? To say that the Zhongzheng does not check the gates does not conform to the facts; but how to check the gates is quite mysterious. A typical example of revealing this mystery is that when Sima Zhao was the emperor with the title of Xiangguo in the last years of Cao Wei, his son Sima Yan needed to go through the procedures for evaluating the township products. This incident made Sizhou Dazhongzheng very nerve-wracking. There is no need to discuss how many products Sima Yan should be evaluated; the annoying thing is that if the whole state only evaluates Sima Yan as a top grade, it will be too exposed. And if he wants to find someone who can be equal to him, who would dare to be it? As a result, the Zhongzheng of the 12 counties in the state jointly planned and recommended Zheng Mo to come out as a "companion". Sima Zhao also specially wrote to Zheng Mo's father, Zheng Yuan, saying: "Children have to go to the toilet and the likes of virtuous sons, and they are ashamed to be tired of stealing virtuous people!" This is really skillful, and it should be included in the textbook of power arts.

More than 20 years later, at the beginning of Emperor Wu Taikang, Liu Yi wrote a book to expose the disadvantages of the nine products, and there are clouds: "Today, the establishment of the center, the determination of the nine products, the superior and the inferior, honor and disgrace in hand; There is no burden of public examination, and there is no taboo of private reprimand. With all kinds of intentions, there are thousands of seekers. The wind of incorruptibility is extinguished, and the vulgarity is made. "In today's nine products, the sparse cut its length, and the relatives decorate its short, and they are vain. It can be seen that the neutrality at that time was neither "neutral" nor "positive". This can be seen from the example of Ruan Jian.

However, Sima's affairs are still inevitably tricky, because they encounter the contradiction between filial piety and loyalty. The kings of the Wei and Jin dynasties betrayed their respective masters, but after becoming masters, they needed the loyalty of their subjects to them. Shame on loyalty and advocating filial piety, its original intention is to seek filial piety and loyalty: "seeking loyalty must be in filial piety", "capital to the father to the king". When Emperor Wu was in power, Liu Bin said: "Those who are ministers must judge their kindness with righteousness, and those who are sons must also cut their righteousness with affection." In the court, he obeys the king's order, and at home, he follows the father's system, and then the monarch and the father are both benevolent. Loyalty and filial piety"

It can be agreed upon in talk, but it is difficult to do both. Zhou sighed: "The way of loyalty and filial piety, peace and security?

Wen Qiao is a typical example of what made the emperor difficult to deal with. Erjing fell, and Sima Rui Zhenjiang left. Liu Kun supported Sima Rui as emperor in Heshuo, and sent Wen Qiao to persuade him to enter and envoy to Jiangnan. This is a great loyalty to Emperor Yuan. And Wen Qiao's mother dragged her son and didn't let him go, so Wen Qiao had no choice but to break his sleeves and leave resolutely. This is against the mother's order and unfilial. Zhongzheng resolutely checks, "up to nobility." The local products are still not enough. The emperor had no choice but to "deal with special circumstances": "Every lord will issue an edict" ("The Legend of the World?

Wen Qiao is loyal but not filial, and there is a Shen Jin, but he is filial but not loyal. Shen Jin's father, Shen Chong, was a henchman of Wang Dun and a traitor. Shen Chong was captured and killed by Wu Ru, and Wu Ru should be a loyal minister. Shen Jin wanted to be a filial son and avenge his father. "Destroy the Wu family". Shen Jin killed a loyal minister for a traitor, he should be a traitor, but because he was in line with filial piety, he was affirmed.

Since filial piety is the most important. Disloyalty does not affect the festival, so we were surprised to see that Liu Yin and Wang Yan in "The Legend of Filial Piety" both betrayed the Jin Dynasty and became Liu Cong's high-ranking officials. It is still in history. Qinghe Cui Yue, Yingchuan Gou Xuan, Hedong Pei Xian, Beidi Fu Chang, and Fan Yang Lu Chen, all of whom were famous in the Shi family, became the official of Hou Zhao. Liu Jun is the son of Liu Yi, a famous minister of the Western Jin Dynasty. The lawsuit was subordinate to the school captain, "upright and fatherly", and when Liu Yuanbu captured Wang Mi in Luoyang, he immediately served Wang Mi. What's even more ridiculous is that Wang Yu, Wei Zhong, and Liu Minyuan all turned their backs on the Jin Dynasty and defected to the enemy, but because they were loyal to their bosses or the righteousness of saving their fellow villagers, they were still in the "Legend of Loyalty and Righteousness". "Bandang knows loyal ministers", the Jin Dynasty's "Bandang" can be described as extreme, and there are countless people who forget their righteousness. Sima's loyalty and filial piety are inevitable, and it is inevitable that they will eat bitter fruits.

What's more, the Sima clan is so hypocritical in advocating filial piety! Looking at what the royal family has done, have they set an example of filial piety? No! They have set a bad example of unfilial piety. In the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, they killed each other, brothers killed each other, uncles and nephews killed each other, and grandchildren killed each other. According to Dong Zhongdao's words quoted above, they committed a heinous crime. After Emperor Huai Sima Chi was captured, Liu Cong asked him in person, "The Qing family cannibalizes each other, why not?" Sima Chi had no choice but to reply: "Expelled for His Majesty." For the Sima family, who rules the world with filial piety, this is really a cone-hearted irony.

The hypocrisy of advocating filial piety is also manifested in bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and contradicting itself. Ruan Jian's father ate meat during his funeral and was abandoned for nearly 30 years. Nguyen Kyen is the nephew of Nguyen. When Ruan's mother was mourning, he openly drank and ate meat on Sima Zhao's seat, and Si Li's lieutenant He once said to Sima Zhao: "The public party rules the world with filial piety, and listens to Ruan Ji's heavy mourning to drink and eat meat on the public seat! Sima Zhao said: "If this son wins the disease, can't you endure evil for me?" Ruan Jian lost her umbrella and had to be rectified.

There is no joy in mourning. Emperor Ming had just died, and the national mourning was unexpected, Shang Shu Meitao played a female role privately, and was impeached by Cheng Zhongya in the imperial history. And when Xie An was in power, "the mourning is not wasted." Wang Tan's book is metaphorical, not followed. The dress is effective, and then it becomes customary. "Why is there no one to impeach? Because Xie An has already ascended the stage and is in a powerful position, no one dares to touch it.

For this system is dead, but man is alive. No matter how high the standards and how strict the requirements, as long as the power intervenes, they will all pass. And at this point, the vitality of the system is over.

Acting is acting after all. The Jin Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and although it had a certain influence at that time, it failed to rule the world. The fate of the people and the fate of history has never been something that can be swayed by acting.

The Jin Dynasty emphasized filial piety but was a young filial son, and the rule of filial piety was the same as the nine-product Zhongzheng system, which was the main reason for the accumulation of illness and weakness in the imperial court.

"The imperial court values filial piety and rules the world with filial piety, but it is just self-deception!" Lin Yi continued to say loudly.

"Your Royal Highness, as the crown prince of the imperial court, actually said such a big rebellion, which really disappointed the old man!" Zhang Hua said with a displeased face. This Zhang Hua is really an old stubborn, just because this Jia Nanfeng is the nominal mother of the prince, he has never supported Lin Yi to raise troops to depose Empress Jia by force. Sima Shu has always been burdened by this filial piety, this is the obedience, so there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the East Palace, but they are very guilty of a woman's death.

In this life, Lin Yi would never let such a tragedy happen again! Therefore, no matter whether he had the support of Zhang Hua or not, he would depose Najia Empress by force. Of course, if there is Zhang Hua's support, there will be less resistance. After all, this Zhang Hua is in the court for Zaifu. Respected. However, Lin Yi can also understand him from Zhang Hua's point of view. After all, Lin Yi is the soul of the people 2000 years after the future, and he can't imagine the thoughts of these people at this time. Since they were children, since they were born, what they have learned and seen, is to implement this idea of "filial piety", "filial piety" has become more important than their lives, the more famous Confucian, the more so. Besides, Xie Jiu is Sima Shu's biological mother, but in the minds of famous ministers like Zhang Hua. The distinction between respect and inferiority has long been deep-rooted, and Jia Nanfeng turned out to be the queen, his Sima Shu's mother. This kind of thinking is also difficult for modern people to accept.

"Your Highness also knows that the kindness of parents and heaven and earth are the same! No matter what you use to repay your children, it is difficult to repay them; as a child, the main thing in serving your parents is filial piety, and you must speak softly and listen to your ears, so that your parents can be at peace at night. Go and say hello to your parents in the morning.

Can His Highness's difficulties be more difficult than Shun's filial son? Shun's parents asked him to seal the warehouse with mud, but moved away the stairs, his father set fire to the warehouse, and Shun came down with two hats. They asked Shun to dig a well, but they filled it with earth, and Shun crawled out of the hidden gap and was immortal. When Shun was in Lishan. When he went to the fields and ploughed the fields, he cried to the sky every day, and he wanted to bear the sins of his parents.

There is no greater wrongs than Shen Sheng and Birch. Shen Sheng was the crown prince of Jin Xiangong in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because his father believed his stepmother's slander and did not dare to disobey his father's orders, he hanged himself in Xincheng; Yin Boqi was the secretary of the Zhou Dynasty and the son of Yin Jifu. He served his stepmother very dutially, he had no clothes and shoes, and he pulled a cart for his mother on the snow, and his stepmother once caught a poisonous bee, removed its poison, and tied it to his clothes. Yin Boqi saw it and stepped forward to take it for his stepmother. The stepmother yelled, "Birch is pulling at my clothes". The father was therefore suspicious of his son. Birch could not wash away this humiliation and committed suicide.

Only by serving parents who are difficult to serve can we see the pure filial piety of being a son. Parents like or dislike him, should not be suspicious, whether it is right or incorrect, where dare to care?

If he is not filial as a child, his crime is really not light! Then, the state will have torture instruments such as knives and saws to punish him, and there will be thunder from heaven to bombard!" Zhang Hua began to teach Lin Yichun again.

If this king blindly succumbs to Empress Jia and allows her to mess with the government, the whole dynasty is controlled by foreign relatives and magnates, regardless of the fact that Li Min was born in dire straits, this is disloyalty, this is foolish filial piety! And Shen Sheng and Birch are really extremely stupid and filial, and if they see the poisonous mother and do not stop it, this is for the tiger!" Lin Yi argued again. He knew that although he couldn't bend for a while, he still had to fight on the basis of reason.

Zhang Hua, like Lin Yi, although he has long been unaccustomed to the actions of the Jia Hou party, he is a minister and a son of man, but he only admonishes him from the side and allows him to act recklessly, but does not stop it. Like Na Shun, Shen Sheng, and Birch, resigned to fate, Lin Yi naturally thought that this was foolishness. Shun can survive and achieve a great career, that is, he is a god who descends to earth, and the poisonous mother naturally can't hurt him.

"Mencius said: 'Parents love them, they are happy but do not forget, and when they are evil, they work hard but do not complain. Confucius said: "The five punishments belong to three thousand, and the sin is greater than unfilial piety." Taoist Zeng Yun: "A thunderbolt shook the world, and it was dedicated to beating ordinary people who were disrespectful." Honoring one's parents is unconditional, and the punishment for those who are unfilial is severe. Zhang Hua continued to argue.

"There are three kinds of filial piety: to support one's parents in wealth and material affairs, it is only a small filial piety; to achieve fame, glorify one's ancestors, and make one's parents glorious and happy, which is for the middle filial piety; to guide one's parents to tend to be righteous and faithful, is for great filial piety! The father is in the throne, but he does not care about the government, let the power fall into the hands of women, do not care about the livelihood of the people in the world, in the long run, the country will not be a country, the royal majesty will be lost, and the throne will not be guaranteed; As sons of man, watching them step by step into the wrong path of no return, ignoring them and resigning themselves to fate, this is a great unfilial piety!" Lin Yi also argued.

Although what Lin Yi said was justified, Zhang Hua always grasped the truth that "filial piety to parents is a matter of course, and unconditional obedience must be followed". The problem that Lin Yi grasped was that it was disloyalty and foolishness to blindly obey, resign himself to fate, and see his parents go astray, and not give guidance to him. The two of them were arguing endlessly, and they were bright for a while.

If this continues, I am afraid that there will be no conclusion even if the debate lasts for three days and three nights. Because this is the same question as having a chicken or an existing egg, which is a refutation in itself. Lin Yi and Zhang Hua looked at each other and smiled, and they both gave each other a step, Lin Yi decided to salute the soldiers early tomorrow, even if he had to do so, he would not take Na Jiahou's life, just take back the government. Zhang Hua also made a move, although he did not support Lin Yi to contact other ministers to depose Empress Jia, but he would not support Empress Jia's party, he would only remain neutral, and he would not leak half a sentence about tonight.
