Chapter 98 Do you know the twenty-four filial piety!
  "Weapon?" Fusu looked at Qin Chi doubtfully.

Qin Chi put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Your Majesty rules the world and sweeps across the six countries. He has a broad mind and will not be imprisoned by one family's words, let alone believe in a certain family's words and hold them as a treasure."

"Whatever is useful to Da Qin is useful to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will believe it!"

"This is your Majesty's way! It's also what I told you, the emperor's way!"

"Hundreds of schools of thought are harnessed to govern the Qin Dynasty. Where will they be reflected in the end?"

Fusu pondered, really couldn't think of an answer, and then shook his head: "Please ask the teacher to clarify the doubts!"

Now, he has regarded Qin Chi as his teacher. It is precisely because of Qin Chi's holy words and truth about "The Art of the Emperor" that Fusu bows down!

In his heart, although Qin Chi is a court lieutenant, he has long been an emperor's master! !

"Of course it will be used on the common people!"

Qin Chi said matter-of-factly: "Your Majesty is dedicated to the Qin Dynasty and the people. The weapons he uses and the teachings he controls will eventually be used by the people!"

"Of course, for Your Majesty, whatever is useful will be used!"

Fusu murmured to himself: "Qi..."

Qin Chi said with a smile: "Confucianism is not a study that harms the country, but every school of thought has its mistakes and dross. As your Majesty's son, the young master must not believe in all of it, but only in a corner!"

Fusu nodded repeatedly, listening very seriously to Qin Chi's teachings.

After receiving the previous teachings on the art of emperors and the way of being a king, every word Qin Chi said to Fusu had credibility.

"The sages asked us to study, in order to make people understand right from wrong, understand etiquette, and fill the hearts of people in the world with great love. If everyone knows etiquette and does their job step by step, there will naturally be no more wars in the world!"

"But as His Majesty said, there is no limit to what people want! Can everyone in the world really have great love? Among tens of millions of people, can everyone really do it? Facts have proved that no! "

Fusu's face was complicated, but he gradually understood.

In this world, the weak eat the strong, and Da Qin relied on blood and bones, war and fire, and annexation step by step to reach what it is today.

Begging everyone to have great love?
  it's out of the question!

"The way of Confucius and Mencius, Confucianism is too idealistic. They dreamed up a world that was impossible to realize, and asked mortals to do it. Haha, think about it carefully, sir. If there really is such a world, wouldn't everyone be enlightened? immortal?!"

"Who will bear the pain and blood in this world?"

Qin Chi pointed at the imperial palace: "That's your Majesty!"

When Fusu heard this, his expression became even more complicated, and his expression was extremely humble and respectful.

I don't want to admit what Qin Chi said, but I have to admit it!

"Young Master, when studying Confucianism, you should learn its strengths, not its weaknesses!" Qin Chi said, "Adhering to ideas is called rotten Confucianism, being stubborn and ineffective is called decrepitude. Da Qin does not need rotten Confucianism and decrepitude. It needs more people who can plan for the people and serve the world. A 'public tool' for planning!"

When Qin Chi said this, he saw Fusu thinking and listening carefully. He sighed again and decided in his heart that he might as well explain it in more detail.

"Since the ancient king talked about filial piety, the Confucianism of the later generations, there were twenty -four filial piety, all from the great Confucianism. Among them, there were essence thoughts and their disadvantages!" Thoughts all come from 'filial piety'!"

In the pre-Qin period, there was a concept of filial piety, and pension policies for the elderly were formulated. For example, the Great Situ of the Western Zhou Dynasty was not only in charge of the collection and management of finance and taxation, but also responsible for all matters related to pensions.

It's just that the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period replaced the kingly way with their tyranny!
  Now Confucianism wants to restore the ancient system, and what it restores is these so-called "benevolent policies."

"In ancient times, Confucius once said: Yao, Shun, and Yu were both great and filial! I believe you have also read the corresponding allusions!"

Fusu nodded...

He had read this story when he was a child, and Chunyu Yue taught him that it was "filial piety to the world."

"Shun's stepmother was ruthless and his stepbrother was unruly. She wanted to burn and bury Shun alive many times, but Shun remained respectful and loving to his stepmother and stepbrother as always."

"Yao heard about Shun's deeds and was greatly moved. Afterwards, he vigorously cultivated and abdicated the throne to Shun! For more than 20 years, Shun worked hard, understood the people's sentiments, and made outstanding achievements. He could have treated his stepmother and stepbrother after he became successful. He was given a small punishment, but he did not do so. Instead, he gave his stepbrother a fiefdom and made him a prince. How does the young master view such a story?"

Fusu cautiously replied: "This shows that Shun's mind and structure are very broad. He is alert, brave, and cautious. As the saying goes: Therefore, a great virtuous man must get his position... he must live a long life. Shun had a great virtuous man. Not only did he get With status and wealth, he became the master of the world, and gained an eternal reputation, and his people also lived longer, living to be over a hundred years old!"

"The so-called misfortunes and blessings depend on each other. Shun was persecuted by his parents, which reflected his noble virtues and lofty ambitions. In the end, he won the world. Isn't it a blessing?"

Qin Chi smiled and shook his head: "No!"

"Confucius said: How to repay kindness with kindness?"

"A man of great virtue may not necessarily be able to obtain his position, nor may he be able to live long!"

"Shun's stepmother and stepbrother persecuted him so much, but he ignored the past grievances and made his younger brother a prince. He had a lofty mind, he was noble and extraordinary, so he got the throne, but for thousands of years, only Shun was the one. Such a blessing!”

"But there are tens of millions of people in the world. If anyone can be like Shun, have a great mind, repay evil with kindness, and become emperor, wouldn't it mean that everyone is the lord of the world?"

"But do you think such a world is possible? Is it realistic?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment, and was a little surprised by Qin Chi's rebuttal angle.

Seeing that he was thinking seriously, Qin Chi frowned and continued to tell Fusu a few more stories from the Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures.

Of course, many of the stories are not from this era, but they are thought-provoking!

Qin Chi said: "I have another story. It says that in ancient times, there was a man named Guo Ju. He was a well-known filial son, but his family was poor. Even having a full meal was a luxury. The mother at home felt sorry for her three-year-old grandson. Every time he diverted his own food to give it to his grandson, he became thinner and thinner."

"Guo Ju was very worried about this. He believed that the child can be reborn, but the mother cannot be resurrected if she dies. Therefore, in order to honor his mother, he actually buried the child to serve his mother and used the saved food to worship her! "

Fusu was shocked when he heard this.

Is this happening?

Buried his son and gave the saved rations to his mother?

Are there any such cruel and ruthless people in this world?
  The tiger's poison will not eat its seeds, but Guo Ju is willing to sacrifice his life for his life. It is really cruel!
  "Guo Ju is the head of the family. He can go out to work and earn more food, but he has the idea of ​​burying his son to save food rations. So... if the Guo family still can't reveal the blame after burying his son to serve his mother, then Guo Ju will do it again. Will he kill his wife or commit suicide to serve his mother?"
