Chapter 2081: The dispute over filial piety
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.
No one thought that Kong Rong was obviously a descendant of Confucius, but he would not obey the words of the sage Kong.
To be honest, Kong Rong himself has a lot of controversies, but at least he dares to complain.
In history, he was caught by Cao Cao and killed because he said that parents had no kindness to their children.
You must know that Confucianism has always emphasized loyalty and filial piety as its foundation.
Based on filial piety, people should be filial to their parents, and by extension, people should be loyal to the monarch.
It is said that the monarch is the parent of the people in the world and raises the people of the world, so the people of the world should be filial to the monarch.
So filial piety is fundamental and the cornerstone of governance in many dynasties.
It is the basis for winning people's hearts.
The posthumous titles of many emperors of the Han Dynasty basically included the word filial piety: Emperor Xiao Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiao Wen of the Han Dynasty. They were filial piety to some emperor.
To prove one's legitimacy.
The same is true for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in later generations. Ming Xiaozong and Hongzhi Zhongxing were regarded as the emperors of the Ming Dynasty through the ages, so they got this posthumous title that was the best in their hearts.
Kong Rong publicly denied the basis of filial piety, which undoubtedly completely broke people's previous cognitive basis.
From this we can know that no matter what Kong Rong's character is, from what he can say, we can know that during the Three Kingdoms era, people's thoughts were still active and they dared to initiate some fixed core things. question.
You must know that Kong Rong's words did not benefit him at all.
Whether it is reputation in future generations or actual benefits.
In terms of reputation, he already has Kong Rong Rangli, and even children in later generations will know about it.
He no longer needs to seek fame and reputation.
In terms of interests, as long as he honestly adheres to what Confucius said and stands with the mainstream of scholars in the world, even Cao Cao can only suffer from his criticism.
Kong Rong is obviously the person who can benefit the most from the concept of loyalty and filial piety.
But instead he said such shocking words radically.
As for the purpose, it is obviously related to the increasingly ignorant filial piety of people at that time.
For example, Guo Ju buried his son to serve his mother. For the sake of filial piety, he could bury his son to prevent his mother from saving food rations for his beloved grandson.
Kong Rong was obviously opposed to this approach.
"How could Kong Wenju say such rebellious words?" Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this.
At this time, the other party has not criticized him yet. His understanding of Kong Rong is only that he is a famous person, the kind who has been famous since childhood. Compared with him, Cao Cao, he is a child of the heavenly family.
Absolutely heavenly.
Those are the descendants of Saint Kong.
What is he? He is a descendant of the eunuch family. In order to clear this stain, he did not hesitate to use ruthless means to break with the eunuch class.
Cui Cheng was also confused. Kong Rong was a descendant of Confucius, and he was also the first class among the gentry.
It can be said that according to the Taihang Mountain people, Kong Rong should have been the most stubborn and conservative to adhere to this loyalty and filial piety, which would be beneficial to his own interests.
But he was opposed to the word filial piety.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that Kong Rong, the filial son of the direct descendant of the saint, is a clear-cut opposition to foolish filial piety.
Because of this incident, Cao Cao even caught hold of him and was killed.
You can say that he is a madman, or you can say that he has something to pursue and does not want to rely on the words of his ancestors to make a living.
"What kind of relationship should a father have for his son? In terms of its original meaning, it is actually love and desire. How does a son treat his mother with ridicule? It's like putting things in a bottle and leaving them when they come out. ”
These are Kong Rong’s original words.
And he was so powerful that the two children who died with him also said the famous saying of the ages:
"How can any eggs be completed when the nest is overturned?"
During the Jian'an period, he was sentenced to abandoning the market and his wife was executed together.
Kong Rong’s words were spoken for decades earlier under the guidance of Wen Rensheng’s philosophy.
He is saying that parents have no kindness to their children.
There is no kindness in being born but not nourished.
Parents cannot use the reason of having children to give unlimited orders to their children.
Children cannot unconditionally obey their parents.
The peacock flying southeast happened in the Han Dynasty. It was a tragedy caused by the growing ignorance and filial piety at that time.
Kong Rong’s statement is somewhat similar to the modern point of view.
It is in line with the core of Wen Rensheng’s philosophy.
That is, parents and children are independent individuals.
The two are equal in personality and cannot give orders to each other.
Parents can discipline each other on a reasonable basis for the purpose of educating their children and nurturing each other, but they cannot rely on the gift of procreation to require the other party to obey them without restriction, including beating and insulting to vent their emotions, etc. .
Kong Rong was obviously against ignorant filial piety.
For example, "The father wants the son to die, and the son has to die."
However, he did not explain this.
Therefore, the current gentry people were scolding Kong Rong for being unfilial.
"You have gained a false reputation. You are really young. It is not inevitable."
"Kong Wenju is not a son of a man, and we are ashamed to associate with him."
At the same time, In the Taihang Mountains.
Inside a certain school.
Xun You found Kong Rong, who was chatting and laughing with Mi Heng, a future troll who was still a twelve-year-old boy.
"Brother Kong, outsiders have misunderstood you. Why don't you give an explanation and let them insult you?" Xun You came over and said.
He came to Kong Rong, of course, for a purpose... The other party is famous, and when the people choose a king in the future, this guy will definitely come in handy.
He understands that his ability does not lie in controlling military power.
He can make suggestions, but he cannot kill decisively.
In this case, starting with reputation, you may not be able to be a monarch in the future and leave a name in history.
This is much better than assisting a king.
That’s why he came to persuade Kong Rong, because he understood that as long as Kong Rong told his true meaning, there would be a reversal.
Sending help in times of need is what the wise do.
At this time, the little Mi Heng said: "Huh, everyone in the world is mediocre. Except for Master, only Kong Wenju is impressive. Why do you have to explain to mediocre people?"
Xun You was shocked when he heard this.
Whose kid has a map cannon at the exit... I also learned this term from Master Zhao.
"Well said, a vulgar person will not listen no matter how much I explain, nor can I understand. I will only wait for Qing Shi to understand me." Kong Rong said with a smile.
He is 32 years old this year, 20 years older than Mi Heng, but he immediately fell in love with him.
This is phase nature.
The big troll Mi Heng only obeyed two people, one was Kong Rong and the other was later Yang Xiu.
Now there is one more person, Zhao Xiangshi.
"Well, it seems that I am also a mediocre person, but I do understand that Brother Wenju's real idea is that a small stick can be used to receive, and a big stick can be used to move. This is what Confucius said. Son You shouldn't sacrifice your life for the sake of so-called filial piety, that would be extremely unfilial." Xun You sighed.
Kong Rong also criticized others, but he criticized Cao Cao because he wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty.
His death was an internal power struggle, not caused by trolling.
So after he heard this, he immediately felt like a confidant.
"That's why, apart from Master and you, the people who know me are also Gongda." Kong Rong stood up and bowed to Xun You.
“I dare not take it seriously.” Xun You immediately avoided it. Of course he couldn't accept it.
“The day before yesterday, I listened to Master’s lecture. He casually said that many of the words of Saint Kong had good intentions. However, later generations only want glory and wealth, fame and wealth, and to cater to the king. , It will inevitably be misinterpreted and used far-fetched. Thousands of years later, I don’t know how much hatred will be caused to him. As a descendant, I must bear the responsibility of clearing his origin. "This is Kong Rong's great filial piety. Tell me why you said the outrageous thing.
"So that's it. It's true that Kong Wen promoted filial sons in the world, and he really lived up to his name." Xun You admired him very much.
You must know that there is really no benefit in saying this by Kong Rong. If he puts it in the eyes of a king who can't stand him, it will be a recipe for death.
The descendants of saints cannot even protect themselves.
Because you are unfilial, you naturally do not deserve the protection of a saint.
Killing you will not trigger much resistance from the scholars.
Xun You was indeed a wise man, and he directly predicted Kong Rong's outcome.
Fortunately, in this branch, Kong Rong will not have such a sad ending.
Xun You thinks about it for himself, can he tolerate Kong Rong?
I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate it if he continues to be a monarch.
Because this guy is famous, if he wholeheartedly opposes him, if he gets involved with his heirs, he will use this excuse to kill his whole family.
If he had not been the monarch forever and only served for ten years... no matter how much he objected, he would have been overthrown after serving for ten years.
Are you still afraid of being scolded?
Suddenly, Xun You understood Master Zhao’s good intentions.
"I understand. No wonder Master Zhao said that you can't keep the king for a long time, otherwise you will have great selfishness, and even completely forget the way of benevolence and righteousness, and only seek profit." Xun You said suddenly.
Kong Rong nodded when he heard this and said: "Yes, you have to choose a wise man, but you can't do it for a long time. The current emperor is not wise, so he should be replaced. Then choose a wise man from the Han clan. ”
Xun You was stunned for a moment, then continued: "Brother Wenju, must you choose from the Han Dynasty?"
"Of course. Now that the Han Dynasty has been in the world for four hundred years, it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Han Dynasty is orthodox. Master. What Zun said is just an ideal state. There are many mediocre people in the world. There are more than a million descendants of the Liu family. Choosing one person from a million to be the king can not only cater to the hearts of the people, but also manage the court. This is the best of both worlds." Kong Rong was determined. road.
Haha, it’s true.
This guy is a pro-Han sect. Although he came to listen to Master Zhao's class and did not worship him as his teacher based on his age, he did not accept it completely.
Only accepted part of it, and then integrated it with his existing opinions.
Xun You was not disappointed. After all, after what was said today, he, Xun Gongda, had the ability to recognize people.
This is one of the necessary conditions for "choosing a king".
One is that the monarch does not need to be knowledgeable in military affairs or civil affairs, but he must be knowledgeable in personnel affairs.
If you don’t understand personnel matters, no matter how proficient you are in other things, it will be in vain.
The two talked for a while, and Xun You found that Mi Heng had great potential and would definitely become famous in the future.
Because this kid is so good at arguing...
If you say something wrong, he will smile with you one moment, but he will fall out with you the next moment.
That is, people like Kong Rong can tolerate and appreciate the other person's temperament.
Not long after, classes started again.
Wen Rensheng came forward again this time.
Wen Rensheng was talking about human body medicine this time.
When he came to the Three Kingdoms, his biggest enemy was nothing else but disease.
When it comes to fighting and fighting, no one can kill him.
He can detect many dangers in advance and be prepared for absolute safety.
The possibility of natural disasters is also very small.
The house he lives in is made of bamboo, so he is only afraid of fire but not earthquakes.
Only disease, sudden illness will defeat him.
So after he established the foundation, he used a lot of strength to conquer the disease.
At least deal with the common wind and cold, these two enemies that ancient people were so jealous of.
I don’t know how many babies and young people died because of a cold that caused high body temperature.
"The human body is a ball of water. Adding foreign objects can make it clear or turbid. How to determine whether foreign objects are useful or not requires comparison and experimentation."
"Today's topic It’s about the double-blind experimental method.”
Everyone listened carefully.
In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, Chinese medicine still focused on evidence and began to dissect.
The earliest and simplest proof is that Shennong tasted a hundred herbs.
Until later it was mixed with metaphysics, Taoism and Buddhism. Just like Confucianism, it became more and more mystical and no longer pursued empirical evidence.
After all, the latter is worry-free and less prone to accidents.
“For example, this herbal medicine can treat wind and cold. We will try to see what effect it will have on different patients with and without it.”
“If it works, we will try it again. Pinch off the ends of the herbs and choose which part is most effective.”
“If we continue testing like this indefinitely, we will finally find out which ingredient can make the turbid water in the human body become clear again. Get up.”
Everyone nodded.
Wen Rensheng’s words explain things in simple terms, and there is nothing to argue about.
Some students are also interested in medicine. In this era, doctors are not a humble profession, and people still have the argument that "it is not a good appearance, but a good doctor".
Later on, it turns out that everything is inferior except for reading.
“A drug that treats a disease must be tested in this way, rather than following what others say. If others say it is effective, it will be effective. Whether it is effective or not must be double-blind and empirical. Everything in the world is like this. "It's useless to just talk about it, you have to verify it in practice," Wen Rensheng said lightly.
Xun You thought so.
He is a counselor type of person after all.
We must pursue practicality rather than empty talk.
At this time, someone else stood up and said: "Master, nowadays there are many aristocratic families and celebrities who attack your lectures and even regard you as a traitor. I wonder what we are going to do?"
< br>The person who spoke was Xun Chen.
Xun You knew that this uncle was also ambitious.
I am afraid that he will also be his opponent in the future.
"Humph, a bunch of mediocre people, what do they know? They only cling to their shortcomings and are not worth mentioning. If Master says a word to them, Master will lose." Mi Heng said directly.
Uh, cow.
Everyone pointed their thumbs at the twelve-year-old boy.
People mature early these days, or those who mature late cannot survive.
Many people get married at the age of thirteen.
So twelve years old can already be treated as an adult.
"Haha, it's not necessary to say that they are mediocre, but they say it, but they use it very honestly. They have all the words and teachings that the teacher has said. Use it." Wen Rensheng said with a smile.
Everyone nodded.
Isn't it?
Many scholars are using the words Wen Rensheng said to manage their manors.
Now the Han Dynasty is a typical manor economy.
Haoqiang has a complete economic ecology in a manor.
Farmland, blacksmith, carpenter, leather, textile, and herbal medicine hall, almost self-sufficient.
Of course, it is definitely not possible to be a doctor. We still have to look for famous doctors in the world.
After all, this is an industry that seems easy to get started, but very difficult to cure people.
