What Kong Rong said in prison is that once it is heard, the world is full of excitement!

"How did Kong Wenju say this?"

"Extremely ridiculous!"

"The five punishments belong to three thousand, and the crime is greater than unfilial piety!"

Almost everyone was talking about Kong Rong's almost ruthless remarks, and even felt that Kong Rong had fallen into hopeless madness before he could say such words.

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

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

Because of Kong Rong's remarks, they once again touched on sensitive topics.

During the Han Dynasty, the world was dominated by filial piety.

There are not many Confucian classics, but among these classics, the number of words and contents of the Book of Filial Piety is the smallest. Basically, many children of the gentry will definitely have the Book of Filial Piety in the first few classics.

Not only that, emperors and literati throughout the ages also highly praised the Book of Filial Piety. Throughout the dynasties, many emperors have personally made annotations on the Book of Filial Piety. It seems that there is an unparalleled charm hidden in these less than two thousand Books of Filial Piety.

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

The latter word "Classic" was added by the Han people as a classic. The original name was "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Filial Piety", etc., but the "Classic" in the "Book of Filial Piety" was originally available, and generally represented the meaning of truth and principle.

Who is the author of this ancient book? There are different opinions.

Some people say it was Confucius, some say it was Zengzi, and some say it was their disciples, written by later generations, but the title and content of the Book of Filial Piety were clearly quoted in "Lüshi Chunqiu". It can be seen that the Book of Filial Piety is indeed a pre-Qin classic, not an ancient book forged by Han Confucians, or a later generation.

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

In the final analysis, it is because no matter what society it is or what kind of ideology it is, the concept of "filial piety" in the family will always be the basis of social stability and the driving force for the development of the entire society.

Because a person's life span is very short.

Not to mention that the average age in the feudal dynasty is forty, even if everyone can be a hundred years old, it is actually very short. At the same time, the previous ten years were underage, and with this disease and disaster, the fragile human body died if it was said to die. Therefore, overall, in the feudal dynasty, it was not easy to live, and it was 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 do not love their children, and they will throw themselves away and play games on their own. If the child dies, they will not be sad or careless. What will the whole society become? If the child does not respect his parents, and does not learn risk-avoidance skills from his parents, and they will rely on their own to fight. What will happen to the entire ethnic group?

Therefore, the "Book of Filial Piety" is called "Classic" as soon as it is opened because the principles contained in it are in line with the moral needs of human development over thousands of years and are a literal manifestation of the racial continuity of human beings themselves.

Care and assistance for the elderly and young is a beautiful manifestation of human civilization itself.

What Fei Qian targeted and abandoned in the Qinglong Temple's great thesis is the kind of person who used the name of loyalty and filial piety to seek personal gain. It is the kind of person who praised filial piety and honesty for the sake of fame, and those who can turn their parents' bodies into bones and still not be buried. It is not to refute the "Book of Filial Piety" itself, nor to trample the so-called "loyalty and filial piety" morality underground, and then raise the banner of unfaithfulness and unfiliality to lead it to a breakthrough of one's own personality and a display of one's personality.

Not to mention in Shandong, which attaches great importance to "filial piety"...

Kong Rong's remarks almost shake the root of the Shandong gentry!

For a moment, refutation and scolding came, overwhelmingly.

And when these surging sounds were low, there seemed to be some silly sounds, "Kong Wenju... He was in a prison, and when he saw his child die... he said such words..."

"Kong Wenju may be a little crazy... This white-haired man gave the black-haired man... Alas...

But these tiny sounds were overwhelmed by the surging sounds, and then they became silent, sinking like a spiral, sinking to the abyss.

Sometimes it may not be loud, it is correct.

Just like some bricks in later generations advocated that the mortality rate was not high, and they raised huge signs to indicate that the number was only a small amount, with an understatement on their faces, and the corners of their mouths were ridiculed by you, the group of people, made a big mockery. But for those families who endured misfortune, the value that seemed small and innocuous to some people was the catastrophe of the entire family and the pain for a lifetime.

This seems to be understandable. After all, the bricks were not burning in the crematorium that was constantly lit up for twelve hours.

Many people also heard that Kong Rong's family was in prison and knew that their child died in front of him. However, after his words came out, these Shandong gentry children were not concerned about how much suffering Kong Rong suffered in prison, but whether Kong Rong said anything was perfect or not, whether he was rebellious?!

Some people even said that if Kong Rong could say such words, he deserved to be arrested and his whole family was in trouble!

Some people rushed to the gate of Xu County prison in anger and cursed Kong Rong inward!

As for these "angry", how many people really think Kong Rong's remarks are unbearable to express their anger, and how many people are because they heard that Cao Cao started to take action, so they use "angry" to indicate that they and Kong Rong are not together...

That's really a matter of opinion.

Amid such a sound, Cheng Yu slowly walked into the Xu County Prison.

In the vestibule of the prison, Cheng Yu ignored the jail head who nodded and bowed, nor did he scold the prison divine with a pale face, nor did he pay attention to the prison guard who was trembling with his head down on one side, but turned his head and listened to the voice outside the prison...

Declaring Kong Rong's voice.

The boiling sound was transmitted to the prison and seemed to turn into a slight sound.

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

Cheng Yu sneered.

How long has it been? I wonder if there are any of the people who have shouted to support Kong Rong in the fight to the end among these voices?

"You are asking for prison and punishing according to the law!" Cheng Yu said a word to the surrounding officials, stepped forward, his eyes becoming more and more cold.

In the prison, it was extremely dark.

After Cheng Yu entered it, he adapted for a while before he saw Kong Rong's figure.

"Kong Wenju, things have come to this point," Cheng Yu stood outside the cell, his eyes drooping, looking at Kong Rong, "Why do you have to be defame yourself?"

Cheng Yu didn't believe that Kong Ronghui really felt that it was right to be unfilial.

Because Kong Rong was very sad after his father's death, and over the years, he has been more important than filial piety. How could such a major change in his attitude in a short period of time?

The only possibility is that Kong Rong wants to "self-deprecating" with this.

But Cheng Yu really felt that it was not too late for Kong Rong to be dirty when it was at this point?

That's why Cheng Yu told Kong Rong why do you have to do this? This is what he meant.

If you want to be self-deprecating, do this as soon as possible!

Over the years, Kong Rong, you have cherished your feathers and cherished your reputation. Then, now you suddenly say that you don’t have a reputation and say such “unfilial” remarks…

Who believes it?

Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Kong Rong.

Now that you see that your child is really dead, you feel the fear of death?

Cheng Yu can be said to be a complete pragmatist. He doesn't care about his reputation, so he looks down on Kong Rong's words and deeds in pursuit of fame. Now he feels that Kong Rong has created such a play for his own life, and he looks down on Kong Rong more and more.

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

However, the young Cheng Yu wasted his time until his middle age and did not wait for this "sunrise". Cheng Yu's life spent a full 43 years in dullness...

Finally, the Yellow Turban Rebellion came.

When the officials in the county were panicked when they encountered the Yellow Turban thieves and even left the city to flee, Cheng Yu suddenly realized that these guys who were always arrogant were so unbearable!

The Yellow Turban Rebellion made Cheng Yu successful

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

Before his death, Liu Bei once said, "A man of fifty years is not considered young."

In that era, forty or fifty years old was the death of a considerable number of people, which means that the age when Cheng Yu really debuted was already the death of most people.

Standing on the shoulders of the historical giant, of course, I 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, shouldn't know how many years there are left in the War of Resistance.

From his perspective, every day of his life may be a death period, and the next moment may be a death.

People who face death are scruples.

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

The meat of the "big mouse".

Or the meat of "rats"...

Now Cheng Yu squinted his eyes and looked at Kong Rong, feeling that Kong Rong was just a "rat".

Kong Rong and Cheng Yu had no common topics, so Kong Rong did not explain anything to Cheng Yu, and was silent, as if he was a default.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu didn't say much, and ordered some food, clothing and quilts for Kong Rong, and then asked someone to take the Li brothers into the cell and left.

He felt that Kong Rong was ruined.

If Kong Rong had realized that the reputation was useless and was willing to be a practical person, Cheng Yu would have paid more or less attention. But now, especially when Prime Minister Cao had already started to raise his butcher knife and was preparing to completely eliminate the children of the gentry who were pulling back, Kong Rong would repent. What's the use?

No matter how many rebellious Kong Rong said, Kong Rong could not escape death.

Too late.

Just like those criminals arrested and brought to justice, they only expressed their regret when they put on cold handcuffs. What is the effect? ​​Could it be that just by saying a few words of regret can all eliminate all the blame?

Cheng Yu came this time, not just for Kong Rong.

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

Cheng Yu punished the prison guards for Kong Rong's child being frozen to death, but he didn't care too much, because he also thought it might be a normal phenomenon. More importantly, Cao Cao had already taken action, and a large number of children of the gentry would be arrested and died with Kong Rong. As the chief criminal, Kong Rong was indispensable for raiding his family and extermination, so his children were just the difference between early death and late death.

If you die sooner or later, you naturally don’t need to worry about it.

As for the diet and quilt given to Kong Rong, it was just a project that should have been, not a special care.

Cheng Yu left, and the Li brothers came to the wooden fence of the cell and called Kong Rong, "Brother Wen Ju! Brother Wen Ju!"
