Chapter 828: Parents are unkind and children are unfilial, turning the table on foolish filial piety! Confucius is a little loyal, Mencius is a little filial!
Zhao Ji’s words can be said to be jumping into the minefield of Mencius’ Confucianism.
For a time, more than ten doctors raised their hands and shouted: "My advice..."
However, Zhao Ji didn't wait for them to finish speaking, and said softly: "Don't give me any advice..." , Gu Bu Na!”
“Get out of the way, don’t delay Gu Hui’s return to Ganquan Palace to rest.”
Chunyu Yue's eyes turned black and he almost fainted again.
Chun Yuyue has never seen such an unreasonable person in his life!
But this person is still the Queen Mother of the Qin Dynasty. Chunyu Yue dare not and cannot draw a sword against her!
Chun Yuyue could only change his direction and faced Ying Zheng and raised his hands solemnly: "The Queen Mother knows the law and breaks the law, which is against the laws of Qin! It is against human ethics! It is against the principles! It is against the laws of heaven!"
"In the past Taoying asked Mencius, if Shun’s father kills someone, what should Shun do?”
"Mencius thought that Shun should have allowed an official to punish his father, and then run away from his father."
"I advise you, the king should follow Shun's old example and order an official to punish the Queen Mother, and then carry the Queen Mother and leave the Qin Dynasty before the execution. , serve the Queen Mother and enjoy her old age!”
“In this way, the King will be worthy of the great Qin State!”
If you can’t persuade the Queen Mother, how can you not persuade the King?
The Queen Mother does not care about the country and has no good intentions in her heart.
The king can't be like the queen mother!
Zhao Ji, however, was surprised and asked before Ying Zheng spoke: "Father Shun kills people, so Shun has to run away from his father?"
"Father Shun is willing?"
< br>"Is he really willing to give up his power and wealth and become an exiled savage?"
"If Father Shun was unwilling, how did Shun carry Father Shun away?"
Zhao Ji didn't think too much, Zhao Ji was just really confused.
But Chun Yuyue and all the other doctors' minds were buzzing.
Confucius' "father and son hide from each other" and Mencius' "stealing and fleeing" jointly established the Confucian thought of relatives hiding from each other, clarifying the proposition that "family is superior to country" and "father and son are superior to monarch and ministers".
Many people, including Gongyangzi and other Confucian scholars from other schools of Confucianism, do not agree with this and criticize it from various aspects such as the rule of law, the rule of man, the rule of the country, and the rights and responsibilities of the emperor. The discussion focuses on Shun. .
Now Zhao Ji has set her sights on Father Shun.
Not to mention whether Shun would escape behind his father's back as Mencius hypothesized, let's talk about Shun's father, would he be willing to leave?
If Father Shun was a gentleman like Shun, why would Father Shun violate the law and kill people?
None of the disciples of Meng's Confucianism could say that there was something wrong with the laws at that time, because the laws at that time were formulated by Shun himself, whom they admired!
Since Shun's father violated the laws established by Shun, it means that Shun was not a gentleman.
Since Father Shun was not a gentleman, how could he be willing to abandon everything he had and become a savage? He could have ordered Shun to pardon him in the name of filial piety and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth. Shun's disobedience would be unfilial.
Shun carried Shun away despite his father's resistance. Is this behavior filial or unfilial?
Chun Yuyue's mind was racing. After a few breaths, he spoke slowly: "Mencius said: "Everyone has a heart of compassion. Everyone has shame and disgust. Everyone has a respectful heart. Everyone has a sense of right and wrong. "
"Father Shun naturally also has a heart of shame and a sense of right and wrong. "
"As long as Shun elaborates on the pros and cons, Shun's father will naturally follow Shun out of shame and hatred, and a sense of right and wrong! ”
Chun Yuyue’s explanation is in line with the theoretical system of Mencius’ Confucianism, and it is difficult for others to refute it.
But Zhao Ji laughed: "I don't know if people are born with a heart of shame and evil, a heart of right and wrong. I only know that people are born with a desire for advantages and avoid disadvantages, and like wealth and power."
"It's Zheng'er's pain. The pros and cons have been repeated countless times, but I don’t want to give up the position of Queen Mother and leave.”
“What you said is really ridiculous!”
In the Confucian concept, Ying Zheng may be. Far inferior to Shun, but it is unknown whether Zhao Ji or Shun's father is superior or inferior.
After all, Shun's father always wanted to kill Shun, but Zhao Ji only raised an army to rebel once.
As the current Queen Mother of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Ji said such words as a mother. Although she cannot compare with Father Shun, it can already show that all parents in the world will not be like Chun Yuyue's Father Shun, who can listen to the advice of their children. , willing to give up power and wealth.
At least, Zhao Ji will not follow Shun to flee like Shun's father as Mencius speculated.
Either Ying Zheng pardons Zhao Ji and commits illegal acts.
Either Ying Zheng executes Zhao Ji in accordance with the law, or he forcibly kidnaps Zhao Ji regardless of her will and commits an unfilial act.
Illegal or unfilial, you choose!
With one word from Zhao Ji, Chun Yuyue was killed!
The Yuan Shou was speechless, Chunyu Yue was dizzy, and all the Confucian disciples of the Meng family were speechless!
Zhao Ji felt a little bored when she saw this, and looked at Ying Zheng and said: "There are still a few members of the orphans who have left the country and have not been able to reunite with the orphans."
"Zheng'er must remember to send the orphans as soon as possible. They found Gu Gu's mother clan to be together in order to be happy!"
Ying Zheng suppressed a smile and bowed his hands: "Wei!"
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction: "My son is really pure and filial!"
Chun Yuyue came back to his senses and hurriedly faced Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty!"
"The Queen Mother has found her. The members of the mother clan must not be reunited with their clansmen, but want to torture them with cruel punishments!”
“The king should advise the queen mother to be merciful and never encourage the queen mother’s cruelty!”< br>
Chun Yuyue no longer wanted to, or even dared to communicate with Zhao Ji.
Chunyu Yue could only target Ying Zheng!
Ying Zheng nodded solemnly: "I will give you a lot of advice!"
Zhao Ji said slightly irritably: "I have said it before, but I will not accept the advice!"
< br>"If Zheng'er remonstrates again, it will be unfilial!"
"How noisy a bunch of rotten scholars are." "I'm lonely!"
"Whoever dares to remonstrate again, I will order Zheng'er to execute him!"
Zhao Ji flicked her cloak, turned around and boarded the carriage.
Ying Zheng sighed softly and asked sincerely: "I also know that what my mother said is inappropriate, but I don't want to be unfilial to my mother."
"Why do you doctors teach me?"
Chunyu Yue was stunned and speechless, and all the Confucian scholars were dumbfounded!
In the view of Meng's Confucianism, whether children are filial or unfilial can only be felt most directly by their parents.
If parents say that their children are filial, it may be out of love.
But if parents say that their children are unfilial, then the children must be unfilial!
Now Zhao Ji directly presses the name of filial piety on Ying Zheng, forcing Ying Zheng to help him commit cruelty, otherwise it will be unfilial.
So, does Chunyu Yue want to persuade Ying Zheng to act violently out of filial piety, or does he want to persuade Ying Zheng to act mercilessly but act unfilially?
Chun Yuyue has always believed that filial piety is the foundation of benevolence, but today for the first time he discovered that filial piety can actually run counter to benevolence!
Han Fei did not hide the sneer on his face: "Confucius talked about loyalty, but he was only a small loyal person, not a big loyal person."
"Mencius talked about filial piety, but he was only a small filial person. , there is no great filial piety at all."
"It is natural and brilliant when it comes to writing, but it is all a joke when it comes to practice!"
"But you take what Mencius said as a guideline. It shows that you don't even have a small, small, or small wisdom!"
Ying Chengyu also came out and said: "I also think that Mencius' filial piety does not apply to our country, the Qin Dynasty. "
"The reason why the King pardoned the Queen Mother is not only because the Queen Mother is the King's mother, but also because of the Queen Mother's various protections for the King in Handan City."
"This. The reason why Queen Mother Fan severely punished her mother's family was because her mother's family had repeatedly insulted the King and the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was filled with resentment, so she committed cruelty and refused to accept remonstrances."
"I. I think that by looking at the relationship between the king and the queen mother, we can understand the relationship between parents and children in the world."
Ying Chengyu bowed his hands in front of Ying Zheng and said: "My advice!"
"If parents are kind, then they should ask their children to be filial."
"If parents are not kind, then it is not an exaggeration to ask their children to be filial." . ”
“Children should remonstrate when their parents make mistakes. If the remonstrance is useless, they cannot follow it.”
“If children follow their parents’ mistakes, their punishment should not be reduced because of their filial piety.
A group of Confucian scholars deliberately refuted it because Ying Chengyu's words directly overturned the Confucian thought of "relatives hiding each other"!
But think about Zhao Ji’s madness just now, and think about how Ying Zheng would have been as filial to Zhao Ji, regardless of right or wrong, as the Confucianism of the Mencius demanded.
The Confucian scholars could not say the words they refuted, and even shuddered.
If Ying Zheng is really so filial to Zhao Ji, it will definitely be a disaster for the Qin Dynasty and even the entire world!
If they can't ask Ying Zheng to be so filial to Zhao Ji, then naturally they can't ask everyone in the world to be so filial to their parents!
Ying Chengxuan continued: "I believe that a small filial piety is filial to the family, and a big filial piety is filial to the country."
"Filial piety to parents is certainly worthy of praise, but filial piety to the country should be praised even more. If the family and the country are contrary to each other, , it is a great filial piety to give up your family and take over your country!”
“Otherwise, if your parents rebel, your children will be in a dilemma!” Basically, the imperial court should recruit all the families and sects from all over the world, and then randomly select tens of thousands of families among the people, inquire deeply about the relationship between their parents and children, and formulate a filial piety that is in line with the current situation of our Daqin and has the characteristics of Daqin."
“After I understand the filial piety of our great Qin Dynasty, we will formulate laws according to this filial piety, giving heavy rewards to fame, light rewards to profits, and light punishments!”
"And ordered the legal officials of the Qin Dynasty to teach their disciples this filial piety."
Ying Chengyu's advice made all the sects and families dissatisfied.
For Lu Buwei, he failed to define filial piety as the foundation of governing the country.
For Han Fei, light rewards and small punishments are not enough to guide social thinking.
For the Confucian disciples of the Meng family, they failed to bring foolish filial piety and kinship to the Qin Dynasty.
But Ying Chengyu's advice made all the factions somewhat satisfied.
In Lu Buwei’s view, Ying Chengxuan regards filial piety as the foundation of loyalty. If Ying Chengxuan can succeed, Great Qin will include filial piety into the toolbox of governing the country for the first time.
In Han Fei's view, it is not natural for Ying Chengyu to use his filial piety. The benefit theory of filial piety and filial piety is that parents have to pay, and children will be rewarded. Charity and filial piety are regarded as investments and returns, and the court's It is the referee's position to decide whether the investment and return are reasonable.
From the perspective of Mencius scholars, Ying Chengyu’s idea of letting legal officials teach students filial piety is exactly the same as Mencius’ idea of “respecting the teachings of Xiangxu and applying the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood”.
After Ying Zheng pretended to ponder, he said in a deep voice: "I think this is a very kind thing for my brother Wang!"
"This matter should be done quickly!"
"I want to be filial to my mother, but I don't know how to act is right, and how to act is wrong."
"You should still do it. I’d like you to discuss it together and teach me something!”
Ying Zheng did not make any compromises to the forced conquest in the name of filial piety initiated by almost all the people of Guandong. He only welcomed Zhao Ji out of his ‘filial piety’. He returned to Zhao Ji and adopted a strategy that was different from the strategy proposed by the Kwantung parties as advised by Ying Cheng.
The momentum created by all the forces in the Kanto region was forcefully broken by Ying Zheng.
However, Yingzheng's method of breaking the situation attracted the admiration and closeness of the Kanto people.
In this round, Ying Zheng wins completely!
Facing Ying Zheng’s smile, even Chun Yuyue and other doctors could only helplessly and helplessly shout:
“Your Majesty is wise!”
