Chapter 842 842 Public opinion, it’s time to take action
Most of the people in front were literate. If they thought it made sense when they first read Feng Qi's article, but when they heard this man talk about Wan Zhuang, they couldn't help but think deeply...
Like Wan Zhuang, is it filial and right to obey your parents in everything?
According to the education they received, Wan Zhuang did nothing wrong. He was a filial son and very filial to his parents. But is this foolish filial piety really right?
As a son, you must be filial, but as a husband? What about as a father?
How do the positions of being a son and being a husband and a father contradict each other? What should they do?
There is nothing wrong with Wan Zhuang being filial to his parents, and there is nothing wrong with obeying his parents, but in order to be filial to his parents, does he have to watch his children being sold and his wife die tragically?
In addition to those who were literate, there were also many ordinary people who gathered around when they heard Wan Zhuang's cry. After hearing what Wan Zhuang had done, these people kept wiping their tears: "I don't understand the truth, but I
I know I don’t want to be the second Wan Zhuang, I don’t want my wife to die and my children to be separated, I don’t want to live like this for the rest of my life.”
"Wan Zhuang is so filial, is he wrong? He is not wrong, so whose fault is it?"
"My father and mother are also partial. My eldest brother's family has a house and a shop in the city, but I am still renting other people's property to live on. I can't even support my wife and son."
"What kind of partiality are you doing? Do you remember what happened to Chen Shilang's family? Their eldest son was useless, but the second son was good. The dean of Yuanhan Academy fell in love with him and promised his daughter to him, but Chen Shilang
He didn't agree, so he used filial piety to force the second son to give up his fiancée to the eldest son, and also hid it from the dean with him. As a result, on the day of the wedding, the bride found out that the person in the bridal chamber was her uncle, and he was killed that night. "
"There is also the uncle's family in Qing'an. The mother loves her young son so much that she wants the eldest son to pass the title to his younger brother and is not allowed to pass it on to his son. Because of the title, the eldest grandson was even beaten. The eldest grandson was too filial, so the grandmother beat him.
If you suffer like that, you can only lie in bed if you want to be alone, and you can't even marry a wife."
"Filial piety, filial piety... Wan Zhuang has been filial for his entire life. When you finally look at him like this, does he still look like a human being?"
"According to what you say, we shouldn't be filial to our parents? No matter whether our parents live or die? If a person doesn't even have filial piety, is he still a human being?"
"I didn't say it was unfilial. I didn't see Mr. Feng Qi say that you should accept the small stick and avoid the big stick. To be filial, you have to look at the situation clearly and be as filial as Wan Zhuang. If it were you, how could you survive?"
"Wan Zhuang's kind are in the minority after all. There are people who are as selfish as Wan Zhuang's parents, but most of them are good. You can't stop eating because of choking."
For thousands of years, the word "filial piety" has been deeply ingrained in the bones of the people of Tianqi. It is natural to be filial to your parents. However, Feng Qi's article was not wrong, and Wan Zhuang's story woke everyone up.
There is nothing wrong with being filial, but how to be filial to your parents is a problem.
A group of students didn't care that this was a bulletin board, and started arguing about the issue of filial piety. Many people were watching. The argument was so intense that they didn't even know when the officials would take away the manuscripts on the bulletin board.
, not to mention that Wan Zhuang and the villager who was familiar with Wan Zhuang's affairs were leaving. They were just discussing...
Of course, Wan Zhuang's story is true, and the person who told Wan Zhuang's story is indeed from his village. But how can there be such a coincidence in this world? Feng Qi wrote an article discussing filial piety, and Wan Zhuang happened to pass by?
All this was just arranged by Young Master Xiao. He found Wan Zhuang and gave him a chance to make a comeback...
As for those students who had heated discussions, half of them were also arranged by Young Master Xiao.
Nothing will last long if it is one-sided. Only arguments can spark topics and allow people to discuss things for a long time.
Feng Qi's article discussing filial piety quickly suppressed Mr. Ji's self-deprecating and mocking poem about Feng Qi. No one even remembered what the poem was about. Everyone was discussing Feng Qi enthusiastically.
Questions thrown up.
The next day, several great scholars simultaneously published articles in support of Feng Qi. While some supported Feng Qi, others naturally refuted it. The two sides started a war of words. You wrote one article and I wrote another. The debate was very fierce.
As a result, the discussion on how to be filial to parents and whether there are standards and principles for filial piety has reached its climax.
Not only the students in the city, but also those outside the city, also found people to copy out the great Confucian's articles, read them carefully, and pondered them carefully, and some of them also expressed their own opinions.
As for Feng Qi’s article?
After the onlookers finished reading, they were busy listening to Wan Zhuang's story. When they realized it, Feng Qi's article had been torn up by officials. No one had copied the article, but everyone knew that
Feng Qi never said anything about not being filial to his parents, he just raised the topic of how to be filial.
Therefore, no matter how intense the discussion was, no one said that Feng Qi had done something wrong, and no one targeted Feng Qi.
Although the literati's scoldings were all on paper, they were equally intense, no less fierce than the exchange of swords on the battlefield. Almost everyone in the city was involved in this debate. What kind of medicine sect, and the sudden death of Mr. Mo Wen were all covered by these
People throw it into their minds.
The emperor even had to leave the bulletin board empty so that the great scholars could post articles on it to facilitate discussion among the students.
"This boy is indeed very capable." Those powerful families who had underestimated Feng Qi no longer dared to underestimate him when they saw that Feng Qi had single-handedly suppressed the Ji family's affairs and caused a bloody storm in the Tianqi literary world.
This is like turning one's body into clouds and turning one's hands into rain. All the students and great Confucians in the world have been used by him. Who dares to underestimate such a skill?
The people who were optimistic about Feng Qi were naturally even more proud: "I just said that this boy should not be underestimated. The old man of the Feng family is in trouble this time."
"Why is it so bad?" someone asked in confusion.
"At first, I thought Feng Qi took action to help Princess Yanbei. It was only now that I realized that Feng Qi took action just to be upright and press the old man of the Feng family to death. Didn't you hear what they discussed? My parents are not kind.
How should children be filial? What did the old man of the Feng family do to his youngest son?
He is a loving father, but not to Feng Qi. Since he is not a loving father, children naturally do not have to obey everything, they only need to support their old father. With this principle in mind, Feng Qi has no scruples in dealing with his biological father. Then Feng Qi has no scruples in dealing with his biological father.
Even if the old man goes to sue Feng Qi, no one will pay attention to him."
This move is truly beautiful.
Everyone who knew the inside story all praised Feng Qi for his skill. Ji Yunkai, who was far away in Youyin Temple, also praised Feng Qi for his "brilliant" when he learned that Feng Qi had caused such a big disturbance in the capital.
"It's time for us to leave!" Feng Qi had already made a start. If she didn't take action, the Ji family would think she was dead.
Filial piety? What is considered filial piety?
This time, she must shut up the Ji family completely... (To be continued)
