Did your mother's life affect your performance?

They know filial piety, they know "wai" and they also know "bao".

But when combined... this word is very strange.

Several ordinary historians gathered together to watch the excitement.

They all looked at the old historian: "Mr. Ge, you have been in charge of the royal library for more than 40 years from the previous dynasty to this dynasty. You have seen a lot of things. What does this...'filial piety outsourcing' mean?"

The old historian stroked his beard, pulled out his knowledge from his mind, and tried to interpret: "Filial piety should have no other meanings. Outsourcing - perhaps it means to wrap filial piety with something from the outside."

Those ordinary historians: "!!!"

agreed:

"It must be this meaning."

"Mr. Ge is very wise!"

"I don't know, when Xiao Bai Ze said to wrap filial piety, was it a good bag or a bad bag?" "It

must be a bad one. If it is good, it is even better. How could you not know how to answer which is more important, filial piety or rules. Filial piety is wrapped in a layer of mud, filial piety is outsourced, It should be saying that he was clearly doing filial things, but was misunderstood by outsiders!"

"That's right! That's right!" "That

's not necessarily true. Maybe he is too filial and can't answer this question. If he said that filial piety is more important, wouldn't he have to let the little princess in?"

"I agree with that!"

Officials would each have their own opinions when they discussed. The old historian next to him smiled and stroked his beard slowly.

He was very happy that he had learned another word.

Outsourcing filial piety. Well, I guess this is a word similar to "gold nuggets and pearls".

[Anyway, I won't help him. People who outsource filial piety are really disgusting. Their own mothers are not filial, and they marry a wife and ask her to be filial. 】

"Huh?"

So this is what filial piety outsourcing means?

Old Zuo Shi no longer cared whether he guessed wrong or not, and quickly asked someone to prepare the paper, grind the ink, and pick up the pen.

Quick! Explain in detail how this prince's groom is unfilial! Our Zuo Shi's performance is here again!

——As for marrying a daughter-in-law and asking her to be filial, in the eyes of many people, it is something that should be done.

A daughter-in-law should be filial to her parents-in-law.

On the other hand, Huo Xi Ma, who heard the voice clearly, was flustered and embarrassed. But this was what Xu Yanmiao was thinking, and he couldn't rush over to argue.

No, he can!

Huo Xima looked at the little princess, sighed deeply, and said earnestly, "Princess, filial piety and rules are not mutually exclusive. For example, in a certain family, before he passed the imperial examination, he was too busy with his studies to take care of his mother and could only entrust the household affairs to his wife. My mother did miss me and wanted to see me from time to time, but if I fetched water to wash her feet, she would be happy, but would scold me and ask me to study hard and focus on the imperial examination."

"Later, I devoted myself to learning and buried myself in paperwork..."

[And then you passed the imperial examination only after you saw off your mother at the age of sixty? ]

[Did your mother's life affect your performance? ]

"Puff--"

The laughter of the historians came from behind the old historian.

Although Lao Zushi himself calmed down and didn't laugh, his hand shook violently, leaving a big black crescent on the white paper.

Xu Yanmiao's mouth is too poisonous!

What did Huo Xima say to attract such sarcastic remarks?

Curious.

Several Zuo Shi looked at each other and began to instigate: "Mr. Ge, why don't we get closer to see the situation?"

"Yes, yes. Huo Xi Ma is already very old, and we can't bear to see him bully the

young princess." Although the old Zuo Shi is already 72 years old this year, he also wants to see the excitement (crossed out), but he also has a sense of justice and can't bear to see others bully an eight-year-old girl: "In that case, I'll take this chance as well."

...

Yan Linghui looked at Huo Xi Ma's face, which suddenly turned blue and white, and his forehead was bulging with blue veins, and felt puzzled.

This person is too fragile. Didn't she just take advantage of her young age, crying and stabbing him, deliberately asking "Which is more important, filial piety or rules?" Why did she answer like this while being so angry?

If such a person is weak, when he is impeached by the historian and targeted by political enemies, will he really not be so angry that he will vomit blood?

Yan Linghui saw that Huo Xima suddenly stopped talking, curled his lips quietly, and then pretended to sob and continued: "Devote yourself to study and bury your head in documents, and then what?"

Huo Xima endured for a moment, then pretended not to care about Xu Yanmo's words, and continued to output to Yan Linghui: "Then, I passed the imperial examination at the age of 60. For decades, I have never given up my studies to go back to serve my mother. In the eyes of the world, I am undoubtedly unruly. That is my mother, but I have thrown all the filial piety to my wife. But in the eyes of my mother and my wife, I am It is the most filial. Because that is what my mother wants, and it is my true way of being filial to her."

Huo Xima: "Does your mother want you to challenge the secular rules for her, and be criticized by others, saying that you are restless?"

Yan Linghui: "My mother wants you to do that."

Huo Xima's words were directly blocked by the words "My mother wants you to do that", and he suddenly realized that the princess was strong all her life and married a female prince consort. How could she care about secular rules? He was just confused and couldn't think straight for a while. He actually wanted to use the princess to suppress this little girl.

But it doesn't matter, outsiders don't know about this.

Just like in a debate, he doesn't need to get the approval of his opponent, he just needs to get the audience to agree with his ideas.

"Nonsense! How could you tell such a lie just to pass the imperial examination?"

Huo Xima's expression was slightly distorted, but in the sunlight, this distortion was not very noticeable: "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. How could she want to put you in a situation where you will be criticized by thousands of people?" As

soon as the words fell, the voice of disgust was heard.

[Yes, yes, I think you have experienced this.]

[After all, when you were in your fifties, your mother had a stroke and lay in bed for several years. She had difficulty defecating and urinating.]

【At that time, we didn’t have money to buy a maid, so your wife served us day and night. You never went into your mother’s room once, pretending to study. 】

【Sage~book! 】

【Pooh! 】

Xu Yanmiao was gossiping and getting angry: 【What? Sage told you that your mother is lying in bed, can’t eat by herself, can’t wipe her feces and urine by herself, can’t your son be disgusted by her dirtiness? 】

【Hehe, you don’t have to take care of your mother for a day, you just need to tell your wife: That’s my mother, she’s sick now, she’s in a bad mood, we’re husband and wife, you take care of her. 】

【How filial you are. 】

【I’ll have to ask Mr. Quan later, is this the kind of filial piety that Confucianism means? 】

【Is this kind of filial piety outsourced, not doing anything but talking, other people's filial piety is "I want to be filial to my parents", his filial piety is "My wife should be filial to my parents"? 】

【If this is the case, I can't learn it. 】

Nonsense!!!

Quan Yingzhang angrily hammered the ground with his cane, pretending to hammer Huo Xima's head.

Confucian filial piety is not like this, he alone cannot represent the entire Confucianism.

Human nature is evil, people are not born to be filial. People "want to eat when hungry, want to be warm when cold, want to rest when tired, love profit and hate harm", this is instinct. People restrain their instincts and obey their parents in the face of survival, this is called filial piety.

Filial piety to parents is against human nature and requires external force to force.

That Huo loves leisure and hates work. He doesn't want to take care of his mother who has suffered a stroke. What kind of filial piety is this! He forced his wife to be filial. That is his wife's filial piety. What does it have to do with him!

——Yes, the ancient literature school is headed by Xunzi. Quan Yingzhang firmly believes that human nature is evil.

Quan Yingzhang turned his head and looked at other people in the ancient literature school: "Bring me paper and pen, I will scold him to death!"

We must not let little T Bai Ze misunderstand the ancient literature school. We must draw a line between this insect and the Confucianism of the ancient literature school!

Someone from the Ancient Literature School quietly suggested: "Mr. Quan, should we classify him into the Modern Literature School?"

Quan Yingzhang: "Oh?"

Someone from the Ancient Literature School coughed: "Look, the Modern Literature School is headed by Mencius. Mencius believed that human nature is good, and filial piety is a human instinct. Since it is an instinct, he pushed the matter of filial piety to... No, to his wife. He obeyed his mother's wishes and didn't care about her. He didn't take care of her when she was sick. Isn't this just in line with Mencius' words: The greatest filial piety is to respect one's parents?"

"Huo Guozuo must be a member of the Modern Literature School!"

Misinterpretation! Absolute misinterpretation! But the misinterpretation between schools is not called misinterpretation, that is called academic dispute.

Quan Yingzhang was never a soft-hearted person, so he said decisively: "Okay, just write it like this."

- As for how angry Ji Sui was a few days later when he found out about this, and how he picked up his pen to fight back, the point was that "this person has nothing to do with our modern literature school, he is from your ancient literature school, the reason is xxxx", and how both schools treated Huo Guozuo like garbage and kicked him around, that's a matter for later.

And now, Huo Guozuo only knows that he was criticized by Xu Yanmiao, and the other party also dragged Quan Gong into it.

He knew how much Quan Gong wanted to lure Xu Yanmiao into the ancient literature school!

Once those voices appeared, they basically made him cut himself off from the ancient literature school!

...

"Oh my!"

"That guy is still as sharp as ever!"

"Look at that phrase 'holy~ wise~ book', it's so weird."

"Blushed! His face is no longer blue, it's red from holding his breath!"

"What! Quick! Give me the telescope, let me see!"

The excitement was for his colleagues and had nothing to do with Huo Guozuo. He just thought... Oh, he didn't know his colleagues were watching the excitement and even used the telescope.

He just felt that Xu Yanmiao was targeting him for no reason.

His mother had been dead for fifteen years! Her bones might have turned to ashes. Is there any meaning in using his mother to target him?

*

Xu Yanmiao thought it was very meaningful.

Of course, it wasn't for his mother. He simply couldn't stand the outsourcing of filial piety.

【Tsk tsk, dad died early, mom supported the family alone. He is not filial at ordinary times, he throws away the bowl after dinner every day, and I never see him wash mom's feet at night. Then when he gets married, he always says to his wife: It is not easy for my mother to support this family, you and I are husband and wife, you must be filial to her on my behalf. Or: My mother raised me up with great effort, can't you understand her a little more? 】

【What, did your mother's life become difficult only after your wife came? If not, I suggest you reflect on who is the root cause of your mother's difficulty. 】

【Wow! 】

【Why is this person like this! 】

【Before my mother passed away, she was busy all by herself during the New Year, and she had the nerve to criticize my wife for being ignorant and not helping - Tsk tsk, before I got married, my mother had always cooked the New Year's Eve dinner by herself. She is so old, but she doesn't even help to carry the bowls, right? 】

【Or was she blind before my wife came into the family? As soon as my wife came into the family, she immediately regained her sight and realized how hard it was for my mother? 】

【Applause -】

【You should give my wife a plaque with the words "Miraculous Doctor" on it. 】

"Hiss -"

What a curse! ! !

The officials in Beijing were simply amazed.

Xiao Bai Ze's words were getting more and more venomous, but he was quite normal when communicating with others, and could even be called kind. Why is there such a big contrast between his inner thoughts and his appearance?

"Could it be that you have practiced this by criticizing His Majesty?"

one official blurted out, but was quickly silenced by his colleague's eyes.
