Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2758
What Kong Rong said in the prison, as soon as it was spread, the world was full of excitement!

"Why did Kong Wenju say that? ! 』

"It's ridiculous! 』

"The five punishments belong to three thousand, and there is no crime greater than unfilial piety!" 』

Almost everyone was talking about Kong Rong's almost rebellious remarks, and even felt that Kong Rong had fallen into a hopeless madness, so he said such words.

In Xu County, Kong Rong's remarks immediately became the focus of discussion among countless gentry children.

Kong Rong himself, who had been silent before, once again came into the sight of everyone, but this time, the evaluation of Kong Rong has changed drastically from the last time.

Because of Kong Rong's remarks, once again touched on a sensitive topic.

In the Han Dynasty, filial piety ruled the world.

There are not few Confucian classics, but among these classics, the Book of Filial Piety has the fewest words and the shallowest content.Basically, among the first few classics that many gentry children start to learn, there must be the Book of Filial Piety.

Not only that, the emperors and literati of all dynasties also highly praised the filial piety.Throughout the dynasties, many emperors have personally annotated the filial piety scriptures. It seems that there is an unparalleled charm hidden in the less than [-] filial piety scriptures.

The Book of Filial Piety is called "Jing", but it is not the same as the Book of Changes and the Book of Songs.

The latter's "Jing" was added because the Han people regarded Confucian works as classics. The original names were "Yi", "Poetry", etc., but the "Jing" in "Xiao Jing" was originally there. , generally represents the meaning of reason and principle.

There are different opinions on who the author of this ancient book is.

Some say it was Confucius, some said it was Zeng Zi, and some said it was written by their disciples and later scholars. However, the title and content of "Book of Filial Piety" are clearly quoted in "Lu Shi Chun Qiu", which shows that "Book of Filial Piety" is indeed It is a pre-Qin classic, not Han Confucianism, or an ancient book forged by later generations.

"Filial piety" is a very important social foundation moral standard in China.

In the final analysis, it is because no matter what society or doctrine, the concept of "filial piety" in the family will always be the foundation of social stability and the source of power for the development of the entire society.

Because human life is very short.

Not to mention that the average age in feudal dynasties is forty, even if everyone can be a hundred years old, it is actually very short. At the same time, the previous ten years have not yet reached adulthood, plus this disease and other disasters, the fragile human body To die is to die, so on the whole, in the feudal dynasty, it is not easy to live, and it is even more difficult to live longer.

Under such circumstances, ensuring the survival rate of human beings is the most basic social morality and national norms.

If "filial piety" is not advocated, parents don't love their children, and they play games on their own after they are born, and the children don't feel sad or care when they die, what will the society as a whole be like?If children don't respect their parents, and don't learn risk-avoiding survival skills from their parents, they rely on their own heads to fight and fight. What will happen to the whole group?
Therefore, the "Book of Filial Piety" was called the "Classic" at the beginning, because the principles contained in it are in line with the moral needs of human development for thousands of years, and it is a written expression of the continuity of human race.

The care and assistance of the old and the young is a beautiful embodiment of human civilization itself.

What Fei Qian aimed at and rejected in Qinglong Temple's big discussion was the kind of people who used the name of loyalty and filial piety to seek personal gain for themselves, and those who promoted filial piety for the sake of promoting filial piety and honesty, for the sake of fame Those guys who can boil the corpses of their parents to bones and still not bury them are not trying to refute the "Book of Filial Piety" itself, nor are they trying to trample the so-called "loyalty and filial piety" on the ground, and then raise the banner of disloyalty and disfilial piety Cited as self-breakthrough and personality display.

Not to mention in Shandong, where "filial piety" is extremely important...

Kong Rong's remarks almost shook the foundation of the Shandong gentry!

All of a sudden, the voices of refutation and scolding rolled in, overwhelming.

And at the bottom of these turbulent voices, there seemed to be some small voices, "Kong Wenju...he is in a prison, and he saw his child die...maybe he said such words..."

"Kong Wenju may have lost his mind... This white-haired man gave away a black-haired man... Sigh..."

But these small voices were covered by those turbulent sound waves, and then fell silent, sinking down like a spiral, down to the abyss.

Sometimes what is not necessarily loud is correct.

It's like some bricklayers in later generations preaching that the fatality rate is not high, holding up a huge sign, indicating that the value is only so much, with an understatement on his face, and the sarcasm of you bastards who make a fuss over a molehill.But for those families who have suffered misfortune, that seemingly small and innocuous value in some people's mouths is the disaster of the whole family and the pain of a lifetime.

This also seems to be understandable, after all, those bricks were not burned in the crematorium where the flames were constantly burning at twelve o'clock.

Many people have also heard that Kong Rong's family is in deep prison, and they also know that their children died in front of them, but after their words spread, these Shandong gentry children don't care about how much suffering Kong Rong suffered in prison , but whether Kong Rong's words are round or not, are they rebellious or not? !
Because of this, some people even said that if Kong Rong could say such a thing, then he deserved to be arrested, bad luck for the whole family!

Some people rushed to the gate of Xu County Prison in anger, and yelled at Kong Rong inside!

As for the "anger", how many people really feel that Kong Rong's remarks are unbearable and express anger, and how many people use "anger" to show that they are not the same as Kong Rong because they heard that Cao Cao started to attack? of……

That would really be a matter of opinion.

Amidst such noises, Cheng Yu slowly walked into the Xu County Prison.

In the vestibule of the prison, Cheng Yu ignored the nodding and flattering prison chief, nor did he scold the pale-faced jailer who was at a loss, nor did he pay any attention to the trembling jailer who lowered his head to one side, but stood sideways. Head, listening to the voice outside the prison...

Condemn Kong Rong's voice.

The boiling sound wave, passed into the prison, seemed to become a small sound.

But I can still hear it, I can hear it very clearly...

Cheng Yu sneered.

How long has it been?I don't know if among these voices, there are those who shouted to support Kong Rong to fight to the end?
"You are hereby asked to go to prison and be punished according to the law!" 』Cheng Yu said a word to the little officials around him, and stepped forward, his eyes became colder and colder.

In the prison, it was extremely dark.

After Cheng Yu entered it, he got used to it and saw Kong Rong's figure.

"Kong Wenju, this is the end of the matter," Cheng Yu stood outside the cell, looking down at Kong Rong, "Why do you defile yourself? 』

Cheng Yu didn't believe that Kong Rong would really think it was right to be unfilial.

Because Kong Rong was very sad after the death of his father. Over the years, he has put more emphasis on filial piety. How could his attitude change so drastically in a short period of time?
The only possibility is that Kong Rong wants to use this to "defile himself".

But Cheng Yu really felt that when it was all over, wouldn't it be too late for Kong Rong to slander himself again?

That's why Cheng Yu said to Kong Rong why this is so, and that's what he meant.

If you want to defile yourself, do this as soon as possible!
In recent years, you, Kong Rong, have cherished your feathers and your reputation, and now you suddenly said that you don’t want your reputation, and you made such "unfilial" remarks...

Who believes it?
Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Kong Rong.

Now seeing that your child is really dead, do you feel the fear of death?
Cheng Yu can be said to be a pragmatist through and through. He doesn't care about reputation, so he doesn't like Kong Rong's words and deeds in pursuit of fame.Now I feel that Kong Rong has come up with such a play for his own survival, and he looks down on Kong Rong even more.

Cheng Yu's original name was Cheng Li. When he was young, he often dreamed that he climbed Mount Tai and held the sun in his hands. In an instant, his whole body emitted infinite light, so he later changed his name to Cheng Yu.Perhaps when Cheng Yu was a teenager, he had a very strong sense of superiority and mission over ordinary commoners, just like he was holding the sun with both hands on Mount Tai.

However, the young Cheng Yu has been wasted until middle age, and he never waited for this opportunity of "sunrise".Cheng Yu's life has been ordinary for 43 years...

Finally, the Yellow Turban Rebellion came.

When the officials in the original county were panicked when they encountered the Yellow Turban Bandits, and even abandoned the city to flee, Cheng Yu suddenly understood that these usually high-ranking guys were so unbearable!

The Yellow Turban Rebellion made Cheng Yu successful,

By the time Cheng Yu rejected Liu Dai's call and turned to defect to Cao Cao, he was already over fifty years old.

Before he died, Liu Bei once said, "If you are fifty, you will not be young." 』

In that era, the age of 50 or [-] was the death date of quite a few people, that is to say, the age when Cheng Yu really debuted was already the death date of most people.

Standing on the shoulders of historical giants, of course he knew that Cheng Yu could live for a long time, but at that time Cheng Yu definitely didn't know how long he could live, just like the political commissar in the anti-Japanese drama should not know that the war of resistance is still left. Same for several years.

From his point of view, every day of his life may be the time of death, and the next moment of his life may usher in death.

People who face death have no scruples.

When Cao Cao was short of food, it was Cheng Yu who sent "rat meat".

"Big rat" meat.

Or the meat called "rats"...

Now Cheng Yu squinted at Kong Rong, thinking that Kong Rong was just a "rat".

Kong Rong and Cheng Yu had nothing in common, so Kong Rong didn't explain anything to Cheng Yu, and remained silent, as if tacitly acquiescing.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu didn't say much, and ordered Kong Rong to prepare some food, clothes and quilts, and then ordered the Li brothers to be imprisoned, and then left.

He felt that Kong Rong was useless.

If Kong Rong had realized earlier that fame is useless and was willing to be a practical person, Cheng Yu would have paid more or less attention to one or two things, but now, especially after Prime Minister Cao has already raised his butcher knife and is ready to completely wipe out What's the use of Kong Rong only repenting when he dragged the retreating gentry children?
No matter how much Kong Rong said, no matter how rebellious and immoral he was, Kong Rong still could not escape the dead end.

too late.

Just like those criminals who were arrested and brought to justice, what is the use of expressing regret when they put on cold handcuffs?Is it possible that saying two words of regret can erase all guilt?

Cheng Yu's visit this time was not just for Kong Rong.

The Li brothers were arrested, and Cheng Yu sent them to be neighbors with Kong Rong...

Regarding the fact that Kong Rong's child was frozen to death, Cheng Yu punished the jailer, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because he also thought it might be a normal phenomenon.More importantly, Cao Cao has already made a move, and a large number of gentry children will be arrested and die with Kong Rong.Kong Rong, as the first offender, ransacked his family and exterminated his family, so his children are nothing more than the difference between early death and late death.

Sooner or later you will die, so naturally you don't need to care about it.

As for the food, clothing and quilts given to Kong Rong, they were just items that should have been there, not special care.

Cheng Yu left, and the Li brothers got close to the wooden fence of the cell, and called out to Kong Rong, "Brother Wen Ju!Brother Wenju! 』

Kong Rong turned around and looked at the Li brothers.

"Brother Wenju!My two brothers have long admired Wenju's name! ’ Li Pan said, ‘To see Brother Wen Ju face to face today is a blessing for Sansheng! 』

Kong Rong smiled slightly and cupped his hands.

Seeing Kong Rong's response, Li Pan and Li Cheng immediately looked at each other, and then whispered expectantly: "Brother Wen Ju, my little brother is away, in order to rescue Brother Wen Ju from prison, he is running around to clear his name...it's no good." Being hated by villains in the court, as for this place...』

Li Pan and Li Cheng held on to the fence tightly and stared at Kong Rong, "Brother Wen Ju is pretending to be abusive now, but do you have a way out? 』

The implication is that both my brothers were arrested because of you, if you have a way to escape, don't forget the two younger brothers!

Different from Cheng Yu's understanding, on the one hand, Li Pan and Li Cheng feel that fame still has some effect in the present, and people with fame should not be so easy to be killed, just like having a golden body of immortality.

After all, in many rumors, it is said that even if a certain person meets an illiterate bandit and says that he is such-and-such a so-and-so, he may not be able to live, let alone in Xu County. ?

So what Cheng Yu said to Kong Rong, "Why do you need to defile yourself", in the ears of the Li brothers, it became that Kong Rong was trying to get out...

On the other hand, the banner played by the two Li brothers mainly relied on Kong Rong's previous reputation. If Kong Rong suddenly "polluted himself", wouldn't what they did before be a joke?If Kong Rong wanted to do this, at least he had to inform his brothers?

Therefore, Li Pan and Li Cheng stared at Kong Rong eagerly, hoping that Kong Rong could give them an explanation.

What can Kong Rong say?
He could say what he said, but he didn't actually say it to the Li brothers, nor did he say it to other people?
What Kong Rong said was for his children.

"What kind of relationship should a father have with his son?"In terms of its original intention, it is actually lust.What is the relationship between the son and the mother?For example, if you put something in a box, if you leave it, you will leave! 』

Kong Rong had a premonition that he might really be doomed this time.

Many people can only appreciate the hard work of their parents when they become parents.

So is Kong Rong.

Although he preached "filial piety" before, and then said that if children don't keep filial piety for their parents, that's what it is, but at this moment, when Kong Rong had a premonition that he was about to die, he was willing to leave the hope of life to own children.

It may be the explosion of Kong Rong's personality, or it may be just the instinct of human self-continuation, but in any case, Kong Rong hopes that his children will not stick to the "filial piety" he used to say before, and don't worry about "family affection". It means that the relationship between parents and children is not as close as it was said before, and let them "leave or leave"!
Get out, leave now!

leave here!

leave!

Never come back!

This may be a father's last exhortation to his child.

Obscure admonition.

Because Kong Rong knew that what he said would definitely spread, and then it might reach the ears of his children. In this way, his goal would be achieved, at least he could make the last effort for his children.

So what can Kong Rong say to the Li brothers?
Said that he was telling his children that these things have nothing to do with the two of you?

Kong Rong could only remain silent.

But this kind of silence made the Li brothers gradually change from being puzzled, confused, and then into anger and resentment.

The Li brothers felt that they had been tricked by Kong Rong, and more importantly, Kong Rong had the means to defile himself. In order to save his life, he sold the Li brothers!
At the beginning, the Li brothers just begged in a low voice, and then persuaded with kind words, hoping that Kong Rong could say something, but all they got in return was Kong Rong's silence...

Afterwards, the Li brothers gradually began to sneer, and then quickly turned into swearing, and the sound of roaring echoed in the cell.

Kong Rong sighed and closed his eyes.

Outside the cell, Cheng Yu tilted his head, listening to the voice inside, frowning slightly.

This situation is inconsistent with what Lu Hong reported.

Lu Hong arrested the two Li brothers because the Li brothers colluded with Kong Rong and wanted to do something wrong, but now it seems that Kong Rong and the Li brothers are not very familiar with each other.Cheng Yu originally wanted to eavesdrop on some plans between Kong Rong and the Li brothers, but now it sounds...

But it doesn't matter anymore, Cheng Yu snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Even if the two Li brothers had no connection with Kong Rong, they were not in the same group before, but now they are in the same group.

As for being wronged, it was simply not within the scope of Cheng Yu's consideration.

For Cheng Yu, things or people can only be divided into two categories, useful and useless.

Now that since Li Panlicheng and Kong Rong met, he couldn't hear anything, so naturally there is no need for him to stay here for a long time.

This time, Cheng Yu really left, leaving the hustle and bustle behind.
