As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.
No one thought that even though Kong Rong was a descendant of Confucius, he would not obey the words of Confucius.
To be honest, Kong Rong himself had a lot of controversies, but at least he dared to criticize.
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 their 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.
Therefore, 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, which emperor they were filial piety to.
This is used to prove one's legitimacy.
The same was true for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in later generations. Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Hongzhi Zhongxing, and others were regarded as the emperors of the Ming Dynasty through the ages, so they received 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 said, we can know that during the Three Kingdoms era, people's thoughts were still active and they dared to question some fixed core things.
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 had Kong Rong Rangli, and even children in later generations knew 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 his criticism.
Kong Rong is obviously the person who can benefit the most from the concept of loyalty and filial piety.
But instead he radically said such shocking words.
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 her 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, and 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.
And what he is, 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 in adhering 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 great filial son of the direct descendant of the saint, took a clear-cut stand against foolish filial piety.
He was even caught by Cao Cao because of this incident 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. He wants to express his feelings. 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.
Moreover, he was so powerful that the two children who died with him also said the famous saying of the ages:
"When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?"
During the Jian'an period, he was sentenced to abandoning the market and his wife was executed together.
Kong Rong’s words were spoken decades earlier under the guidance of Wen Rensheng’s philosophy.
He is saying that parents have no favor in procreating their children.
There is no kindness in being born without nourishment.
Parents cannot use the reason of having children to give unlimited orders to their children.
Children cannot unconditionally obey their parents because of this.
The Peacock Flying Southeast happened in the Han Dynasty. It was a tragedy caused by the increasingly fierce ignorance and filial piety at that time.
Kong Rong's statement is quite similar to the modern view.
It fits well with the core of Wenrensheng’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 grace of procreation to demand unrestricted obedience from the other party, including beating and insulting to vent their emotions, etc.
Kong Rong was obviously against ignorant filial piety.
For example, "If the father wants the son to die, the son has to die."
However he did not explain this.
Therefore, the current gentry people scolded Kong Rong for being unfilial.
"It's a waste of fame. It's really young. It's not inevitable."
"Kong Wenju is not a son of man, and we are ashamed to associate with him."
At the same time, in the Taihang Mountains.
Within a certain school.
Xun You found Kong Rong, who was chatting and laughing with a certain future troll, Mi Heng, who was still a twelve-year-old boy at this time.
"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 plans, but he cannot kill decisively.
In this case, starting from reputation, you may not be able to be a monarch in the future and leave your 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 spoke his true mind, a reversal would come.
It is what the wise do when they need help in times of need.
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, vulgar people will not listen to me no matter how much I explain, and they will not understand. I will only wait for Qing Shi to understand me." Kong Rong said with a smile.
He is 32 years old this year, a full 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. Sons should not do anything for the so-called filial piety.
Sacrificing one's own life 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 trolls.
So after he heard this, he immediately felt like a confidant.
"That's why, apart from your master, you are the one who knows me, and there is 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, for the sake of glory, wealth, fame and wealth, and to cater to the emperor, future generations will inevitably misinterpret and use them and make them far-fetched. Thousands of years later.
, I don’t know how much hatred will be caused to him. As a descendant, of course I have to bear the responsibility of clearing up his origin. This is great filial piety." Kong Rong then said why he said the treasonous words.
"So that's it. It's true that Confucius and 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 at all from what Kong Rong said. If he put it in the eyes of a king who couldn't stand him, it would be a recipe for death.
Even the descendants of saints cannot be protected.
Because you are unfilial, you naturally do not deserve to be protected by saints.
Even if I kill you, it won't 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 thought for himself, could he tolerate Kong Rong?
I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to tolerate it if he remained a monarch.
Because this guy is so famous, if he wholeheartedly opposes him and gets involved with his heirs, he will use this excuse to kill his whole family.
If he is not the monarch all the time and only serves for ten years... no matter how much he objects, he will be overthrown after he has served 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 emperor for a long time, otherwise you will become extremely selfish and even completely forget about 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, the Han Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the people of the world for four hundred years, and the Han Dynasty is orthodox. What the Master 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? Choose one person out of a million.
The king can not only cater to people's hearts but also manage the court. This is the best of both worlds." Kong Rong said firmly.
Haha, as expected.
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.
He only accepted part of it and then integrated it with his existing opinions.
Xun You was not disappointed. After all, after today's words spread, 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 people, 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 guy is so good at arguing...
If you say something wrong, someone who is smiling with you one moment will fall out with you the next moment.
That is to say, people like Kong Rong can tolerate and appreciate the other person's temperament.
Not long after, classes started again.
This time Wen Rensheng came forward again.
Wen Rensheng is talking about human body medicine this time.
When he came to the Three Kingdoms, his biggest enemy was none other than 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 low.
The house he lives in is made of bamboo, so he is only afraid of fire but not earthquakes.
Only illness, sudden illness, can defeat him.
So after he established the foundation, he used a lot of strength to conquer the disease.
At least first 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 have died due to high body temperature caused by a cold.
"The human body is a ball of water. Adding foreign objects can make it clear or turbid. How to determine the usefulness of foreign objects requires comparison and experimentation."
"What I'm going to talk about today is the double-blind experimental method."
Everyone listened carefully.
In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, Chinese medicine still focused on evidence and began to practice anatomy.
Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, which is the earliest and simplest proof.
Until later it was mixed with metaphysics, Taoism and Buddhism, and just like Confucianism, it became more and more mystical and no longer pursued empirical evidence.
After all, the latter saves worry and is less likely to cause trouble.
"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, cut off the head and tail of the herb and choose which part has the most effect."
"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."
Everyone nodded.
Wen Rensheng's words are profound and simple, so there is nothing to argue about.
Some students are also interested in medicine. In this era, doctors are not yet a humble profession, and people still have the argument that "it's better to be a good doctor than to be a good person".
Later on, everything is of inferior quality, only reading is of high quality.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "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 tested.
Double blindness and empirical evidence. Everything in the world is like this. It is useless to just rely on words. It must be verified in practice." Wenren Shengdan said.
Xun You thought so.
After all, he is a counselor type of person.
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?"
The person who spoke was Xun Chen.
Xun You knew that this uncle was also ambitious.
I'm afraid he will also be his opponent in the future.
"Humph, they are a bunch of mediocre people. What do they know? They only cling to their old ways 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 at the age of twelve, you can already be treated as an adult.
"Haha, it's not necessary to say that they are mediocre, but they say what they say, but they are very honest in their use. They have used every one of the words and teachings that the teacher said." Wen Rensheng
smiled.
Everyone nodded.
is not that right?
Many scholars are using the words Wen Rensheng said to manage their estates.
The Han Dynasty now has a typical manor economy.
A powerful manor has a complete economic ecology.
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.
