Chapter 828: Parents Are Not Kind, Children Are Not Filial, and the Table of Foolish Filial Piety Is Overturned! Confucius Is a Little Loyal, Mencius Is a Little Filial!

Zhao Ji's words can be said to be jumping into the minefield of Meng's Confucianism.

For a moment, more than a dozen doctors raised their hands and shouted: "My advice..."

However, Zhao Ji didn't wait for them to finish speaking, and said quietly: "Stop admonishing me, I won't accept it!"

"Everyone, get out of the way. Don't delay your return to Ganquan Palace to rest."

Chunyu Yue's eyes turned black and he almost fainted again.

Chunyu Yue 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!

Chunyu Yue 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 of justice! It is against the laws of nature!"

"Xitao should ask Mencius, if Shun's father kills someone, what should Shun do?"

"Mencius thought that Shun should allow his father to be punished and then escape behind his father's back."

"I advise you, Your Majesty, you should follow Shun's old example and order a judge to punish the Queen Mother. Before the execution, you should carry the Queen Mother on your back and leave the Qin Dynasty to serve the Queen Mother and enjoy her old age!"

"In this way, the king can be worthy of the great Qin State! Be worthy of the great Qin people!"

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: "Shun's father killed someone, so Shun is going to run away from his father?"

"Father Shun is willing?"

"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 a burden and fleeing" jointly established the Confucian idea of ​​"family hiding from each other" and clarified the proposition that "family is superior to country" and "father and son are superior to monarch and ministers".

Many people, including Gong Yangzi and other Confucian scholars from other schools of Confucianism, disagreed with this and criticized 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 focused on Shun.

Now Zhao Ji 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 Shun's father was a gentleman like Shun, why did Shun's father violate the law and kill people?

None of the disciples of Mencius 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 took away Shun despite his father's resistance. Is this behavior filial or unfilial?

Chunyu Yue's mind was racing, and 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 lays out 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 Meng's 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, hatred, right and wrong. I only know that people are born with a desire for advantages and avoidance of disadvantages, and they like wealth and power."

"Even though Zheng'er has been raving about the pros and cons for thousands of times, I still don't want to give up my position as Queen Mother and leave."

"What you are saying 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.

After all, Shun's father always wanted to kill Shun, but Zhao Ji only raised an army to rebel once.

As the current Empress Dowager of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Ji said such words as a mother. Although it cannot be compared to Father Shun, it can already show that all parents in the world will not be like Father Shun in Chunyu Yue's mouth, 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 honestly like Mencius speculated that Shun's father would do that.

Or, 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 guard 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. She looked at Ying Zheng and said, "There are still a few members of the tribe who have left the country and have not been able to reunite with me."

"Zheng'er remember to find them as soon as possible. Only when Gu Gu's mother clan is together can they be happy!"

Ying Zheng suppressed his laughter and bowed his hands: "Wei!"

Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction: "My son is indeed pure and filial!"

Only then did Chunyu Yue come back to his senses. He hurriedly faced Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty!"

"The Queen Mother must not be looking for her mother clan members to reunite with her clan members, but to torture them with brutal punishments!"

"The king should advise the Queen Mother to be lenient and be kind, and never encourage the Queen Mother's violent nature!"

Chunyu Yue 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 lots of advice!"

Zhao Ji said a little irritably: "I've said it before, but I won't accept the advice!"

"If Zheng'er remonstrates again, it will be considered unfilial!"

"A bunch of rotten people, how noisy they are."

"I'm lonely!"

"Whoever dares to remonstrate again, I will order Zheng'er to kill 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!

According to Mencius' Confucianism, parents' feelings about whether their children are filial or unfilial are the most direct.

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 pressed the name of filial piety on Ying Zheng, forcing Ying Zheng to help him commit cruelty, otherwise it would be unfilial.

So, does Chunyu Yue want to persuade Ying Zheng to do cruel things out of filial piety, or does he want to persuade Ying Zheng to do ungrateful things out of kindness?

Chunyu Yue always believed that filial piety was the foundation of benevolence, but today he discovered for the first time that filial piety can actually run counter to benevolence!

Han Fei did not hide the sneer on his face: "Confucius preached loyalty, but he was only a small loyal person, not a big loyal person."

"Mencius talks about filial piety, but it is only a small filial piety, not a big filial piety."

"It's natural and brilliant when it's written in books, but it's all a joke when it's put into 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, Da Qin."

"The reason why the King pardons 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 time the Queen Mother severely punished her mother's family because her mother's family had repeatedly insulted the King and the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was filled with resentment, so she committed violent acts and refused to accept remonstrances."

"I believe that by observing the relationship between the King and the Queen Mother, we can understand the relationship between parents and children in the world."

Ying Chengqiao bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said, "My advice!"

"If parents are kind, they should expect their children to be filial."

“If parents are unkind, it is not wrong for their children to be unfilial.”

"When parents make mistakes, their children should remonstrate. If the remonstrance is useless, they should not follow it."

“If a child commits a wrongdoing by his parents, his punishment should not be mitigated because of his 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 again about Zhao Ji’s madness just now, and think about what if Ying Zheng was really as filial to Zhao Ji as the Confucianism of Mencius required, regardless of right or wrong.

The words refuted by the Confucian scholars could not be uttered, and they 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 whole 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 should be filial to the family, and a big filial piety should be 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 at odds, you should sacrifice your family to take the country. Only then will you be considered a great filial piety!"

"Otherwise, if the parents plot to rebel, the children will be in a dilemma!"

"Based on these two points, the DPRK should recruit all the families and factions from all over the world, and then randomly select tens of thousands of families among the people, conduct in-depth inquiries to understand the relationship between their parents and children, and formulate a policy that is in line with the current situation of our Daqin and has Daqin characteristics. "Filial piety."

"After we 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 all the legal officials of the Qin Dynasty to teach their disciples this filial piety."

Ying Chengyu's advice made every faction 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.

As far as Meng's Confucian disciples were concerned, they were even more unable to bring foolish filial piety and intimacy 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 was not natural for Ying Chengxuan to use his filial piety. The benefit theory of filial piety and filial piety is that only when parents contribute, will their children be rewarded. Charity and filial piety are regarded as investment and return, and the court is placed in the position of deciding whether investment and return. Reasonable refereeing position.

From the perspective of Mencius scholars, Ying Chengyu's idea of ​​​​letting the legal officials teach students filial piety is exactly the same as Mencius's idea of ​​"respecting the teachings of Xiangxu and applying the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood".

Ying Zheng pretended to meditate, and then said in a deep voice: "I think this is a very kind thing for my brother Wang!"

"This matter should be done as quickly as possible!"

"I want to be filial to my mother, but I don't know how to behave is right and how to behave is wrong."

"It's time for you all to discuss it together and teach me!"

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 back out of his "filial piety" and adopted different suggestions from Ying Chengyu. The strategies proposed by all parties in the Kanto region.

The momentum created by the joint forces of various forces in the Kwantung region was forcefully broken by Ying Zheng.

However, Yingzheng's method of breaking the situation can attract the appreciation and closeness of the people of Guandong.

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!"
