Among all the dynasties in China, the Han Dynasty can be said to be the most important dynasty in filial piety. If we look at the reasons, there are many. In fact, the most important thing is that the Han Dynasty implemented the system of recommendation for three or four hundred years.

Many people believe that filial piety was promoted from beginning to end in the Han Dynasty, and filial piety was also very popular in the Han Dynasty. In fact, it was not. In the early Han Dynasty, filial piety was not as popular as many people think.

Filial piety, as an ethical concept, certainly did not emerge until the Han Dynasty. The Confucianism of the pre-Qin period had a full discussion, but as Liu Xiang said in the "Chen Ni's Book of the Strategies", "After the death of Zhong Ni, morality was abolished, the upper and lower parts were disordered, father and son did not get married, brothers were not at peace, and husband and wife were separated, so no one could protect their lives." The concept of filial piety that maintained the patriarchal system since the Western Zhou Dynasty was wiped out.

Therefore, it can be said that until Qin Shihuang unified the country, filial piety was mainly Confucianism that advocated the prosperous era of the Western Zhou Dynasty. As a one-man statement of his own ethics of establishing a country and governing the country, it had not yet become a social norm that was widely accepted and practiced by the society at that time.

In the early Han Dynasty, it was indeed emphasized that filial piety was used to govern the world, and there were also historical evidences. For example, Emperor Hui, Empress Gao, Emperor Wen, and Emperor Jing issued relevant edicts to respect and praise filial piety and brotherhood. Emperor Hui and Emperor Wen himself were also called "benevolence and filial piety". Since Emperor Hui, all the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty have also used filial piety as their posthumous title.

However, although all these historical facts can show that the supreme ruler spared no effort to promote filial piety in the early Western Han Dynasty, it cannot prove that filial piety, as an ethical norm, has been widely recognized and practiced by society.

What is interesting is that sometimes what rulers vigorously advocate is often what the entire society lacks, just like what later generations advocate every year... Cough cough cough...

If you take a little examination of historical materials, it is not difficult to find that until Emperor Wu, filial piety did not become a generally recognized social norm. In the early Han Dynasty, there was a folk song that best revealed the social psychology of filial piety: "Hu is filial piety and brothers are following the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same as the same

This shows that the people were still very keen at that time...

Then Emperor Wen of Han repeatedly emphasized "filial piety and brotherhood, the great esteem of the world". Among the emperors in the early Han Dynasty, he advocated filial piety the most powerful, and he wanted to come on stage and call Oli for himself. However, the result was that most people at that time did not agree with it, and even "a county of thousands of families? Yun Wu responded to the order", which indirectly shows that most people in the early Han Dynasty did not catch a lot of colds about the "filial piety" proposed by Confucianism.

In the edict, Emperor Wu of Han also said: "...The filial sons and grandchildren in the world are willing to do their best to bear their relatives, and to force public affairs outside? They lack wealth inside? They lack filial piety..."

Confucians were very angry and criticized, saying that those who did not achieve "filial piety" were like killing their fathers and mothers? It was worse than animals. Even after controlling the court, they used "filial piety" as the assessment standard, so that there were two ways to elect talents in the Han Dynasty? One was Maocai? The other was filial piety? But in the middle and late Han Dynasty, there was basically no Maocai recommendation? The rest was all filial piety and honest...

Because? The threshold for filial piety and honesty is actually too low. Anyone can do it. Even if he has never read the scriptures and does not recognize big words, he can still be filial and honest.

So? Under such a situation, how can we reflect the nobleness of the gentry? The uniqueness of the gentry, the superman of the gentry, huh? What is the most advanced than ordinary people?

General behavior obviously cannot meet the needs of the children of the gentry, so more and more strange things gradually began to happen. For example, Zhao Zi, a robber came to his house to rob. In order not to disturb his 80-year-old mother, Zhao Zi took the initiative to invite the thief to dinner. He also said that in addition to leaving some clothes and rations for my mother, the thief would choose money and belongings for his wife and children, and he would never stop him...

Such enthusiasm actually caused the thief to be unsure and dared not take action. He felt that Zhao Zi must have had some conspiracy and was preparing to escape from this so-called "trap", but Zhao Zi chased him out with money and insisted on accepting the thief.

Fortunately, Zhao Zi has not expressed that he must accept his wife if he asks the thief...

Of course, Zhao Zi said that it was not a matter of considering that giving money was reasonable. Giving your wife was a bit too much, so he did not desperately pull his wife to give it to the thief.

From this we can see that in the late Han Dynasty, in order to seek fame, such strange things among the gentry were already numerous, and in order to gain fame, the behaviors performed were even more contrary to common sense, just like the various ugly things made in the acne scars in later generations to attract attention, which were in line with each other.

So, from a certain perspective, Wang Xiang’s so-called “Lying on ice and asking for carp” is actually not too much. Well, maybe Wang Xiang hadn’t married yet at that time? Or would he be “burying his wife and asking for carp”?

And this kind of thing is like the "pillow business" in later generations. It can be done, but it is hard to say. Or it has not affected your own family before, even if you hear it, you just smile knowingly, but now you are robbed of the "scene" and lose your position as the "protagonist". Naturally, you can poke it out, indicating that Wang Xiang, you are a stinky XX, actually sold it out, and sold it three times...

Suddenly, the melon was so big that it fell to the spot with a click.

Wang Xiang was extremely embarrassed.

This feeling is like being criticized at a press conference for a new drama. If you are "pillow open" to get the protagonist, you have also produced relevant evidence and three more, indicating that Wang Xiang has slept at least, well, he has done it three times...

Suddenly, the children of the gentry near Yecheng, Jizhou, who had won the first place, became naturally angry. They thought Wang Xiang had a pure look and thought he was really not a worldly fireworks. As a result, they had to rely on a pillow to gain fame. The key was that they sold three times!

I only sold my charming figure once, okay? This guy actually sold it three times! Three times! And there is evidence. If there is no evidence, how many times did this guy with a pure face sell it?

Seeing this, Ding Chong coughed and said, "There are many rumors in the countryside, and it may not be a personal matter..." These are all fake reports and are synthesized. Don't believe it, don't believe it.

Immediately another person stood up and said loudly in the audience: "In the lower part of Langya Mao family! There are rumors about Wang Xiuzheng's affairs, and there are rumors around Langya! In the past, when Wang Xiuzheng had a poem on the spot, "Lying on the ice and getting a carp for his parents, I am very filial and sincere, and I am the best at heaven." This is Wang Xiuzheng's personal words, I believe it is not just a rumor!?"

"oh……"

"I see……"

『Soga…』

Everyone was talking about it.

Wang Xiang's brain was in chaos at this time, and he didn't know how to argue, his face turned red, as if blood was about to drip. Who was not arrogant when he was young? At that time, he drank too much and occupied part of the factor, and the other part was praised for too long, so he forgot that he actually didn't have the ability and did not do that...

Just like water turns into oil, qigong, and a certain core, I was a little nervous and cautious when I started blowing, but after blowing too much, I even believed it was true. After being beaten up, I angrily accused the young man of really not understanding the rules!

Ding Chong was angry now, feeling that the young people in front of him really didn't understand the rules!

"Ding Kaozheng, Sikong selected talent and Jizhou. The way of doing it is correct. However, since "talent" is called "virtuous", "virtue" should be the first. If a person who is possessed by evil spirits and cheats and seeks fame and reputation will probably lose Sikong's good intentions and will also harm the hearts of the children of Jizhou..." Su Cheng stood up and looked around for a while, his voice calmly, "Now there is only one strategy, and I don't know if Ding Kaozheng, would you like to listen to the top of the list?"

Ding Chong glared at Wang Xiang a few times, feeling that Wang Xiang's current performance was not good, so he should at least stand up and say, "You have defiled filial piety", or something similar, or even if it is not good, he should come to the stage and mess up the matter. Ding Chong himself can shake his sleeves and ask for escape first. Now, why are you staring at me with a stupid ball?

In desperation, Ding Chongqiang smiled and said, "You might as well say...

Su Cheng smiled and pointed to the Zhang River not far away. "Since the king's first place could have been lying on the ice in the past and seeking carp. Today, it is better to be on the side of the Zhang River. How about it? At this time, the Zhang River has not frozen yet, and it is not limited to carp. If anyone gets a fish, he will feel the filial piety of the king and falls on the shore, we will all bow down to the shore, and there is no other words! But I don't know what Ding Kaozheng and Wang's first place are thinking?"

Everyone present immediately echoed, claiming that if Wang Xiang could really ask for a fish to jump ashore on the side of Zhangshui, he would believe the rumors about Wang Xiang before and would also promote Wang Xiang widely to make his name public.

Of course, the other way around is that if Wang Xiang can't do it, he will also make his name known, but it won't be a good reputation...

"This..." Ding Chong pondered, suddenly regretting, feeling that he should have turned his back and turned the table at the beginning, because at the beginning it was just a question. Ding Chong could also say that these doubts were targeting Sikong, Ding Chong himself, and there was a reason to turn the table over and turn the table over and turn the table over and turn the table over and turn the table over and turn the table over and put it too much. But now, if you turn the table up again, the smell of protecting Wang Xiang is too heavy, and even if you turn the table over, the effect of stopping the topic will definitely not be ideal. There are so many people on the scene, how much does it cost to hit the hot search?

We still need to solve the problem. We cannot let this problem continue to ferment. It is naturally the best to be able to solve it on the spot. It is not the best way to drag it down or avoid it.

Otherwise, Cao Cao's examination and formal examination held in Yecheng, Jizhou would lose its original meaning.

Ding Chong's thoughts quickly rotated and began to measure the importance of them.

Before Ding Chong made a statement, Shen Rong in the field coughed, and consciously focused all his eyes on him. He was a little proud and said with a smile: "We have no idea of ​​what regionality we have. If the top of the king is really capable of it, we, the scholars in Jizhou, should bow down. If we cannot find fish by the ice, it may not be that the top of the king intends to deceive him. I guess it is a little negligence, or the sky is not beautiful..."

After hearing Shen Rong's words, Ding Chong couldn't help staring at Shen Rong for a moment, then nodded slightly, turned to look at Wang Xiang, "Wang Xiuzheng, what do you think?"

Wang Xiang knew that he was doing his own business, so he lie on the ice and asked for carp. He just said that, but he really took off all his clothes in the middle of winter and lie down on the ice. He still wanted carp? He was almost the same for death. Therefore, when Ding Chong asked, he naturally couldn't say that there was no problem, but he couldn't say that there was a problem, even if he was stuck on the spot, speechless.

Ding Chong sighed slightly.

It seems that even if Wang Xiang is protected, Wang Xiang may not be able to be a good official. The so-called "official" means one mouth on the top and one mouth on the bottom. If it is like Wang Xiang's current moment and he can't say anything, how can he be a good official?

What's more, what Shen Rong said just now was that the children of Jizhou did not oppose Ding Chong or Kaozheng, but felt that Wang Xiang, a "outsider", had taken over the top of the list that originally belonged to the Yecheng of Jizhou, and therefore caused dissatisfaction among the children of Jizhou, which was the current situation.

The recruitment of Wang Xiang as the top list is just to indicate that Cao Cao will not discriminate against anyone because of his region and is willing to accept talents from anywhere in the world. However, it does not mean that Wang Xiang can only be used as the daughter of the horse bone. It is natural that Li Xiang and Zhao Xiang are used as an example...

"Wang Xiuzheng, you might as well give it a try..." Ding Chong said slowly, which means that Ding Chong is about to give up Wang Xiang.

After all, in this era, the system of formal examinations has just begun. What are the so-called top rankings, praises and marches, and they are all tricks learned by General Cavalry. Even Ding Chong himself may not have a deep understanding of the system of formal examinations. In this chaotic situation, he seems to think that sacrificing a top ranking may not be a big deal. After all, the overall situation is the most important.

Wang Xiang stood up in a daze and slowly headed towards Zhangshui. He knew that he could not find any fish. He knew not only he knew, but most people also knew it. However, the lie before was like the emperor's new clothes. He seemed to be able to wear it when he didn't tell it. However, once he was exposed, he found that there was nothing naked...

Watching Wang Xiang walk toward the Zhang River, Su Cheng and Shen Rong looked at each other, then nodded slightly. Su Cheng turned around and used a color among the crowd next to him...

Wang Xiang slowly walked to the edge of the Zhang River in front of everyone. Before he could come up with any response strategy, someone suddenly shouted: "No! Wang Langjun is going to jump into the river!"

Wang Xiang was stunned. Who? Who wants to jump into the river? Me? Do I want to jump into the river? No?

Wang Xiang couldn't help but turn his head and look back, but saw the appearance of several guards rushing out from the crowd, and then rushed towards Wang Xiang himself with a loud scream. Wang Xiang was so scared that he couldn't help but take a step back. Most of the stones on the river bank were smooth, and a little staggered when the center of gravity was unstable. Then the guards who rushed over were directly pressed to the ground...

Ding Chong and others were a little farther away, so they naturally couldn't tell whether Wang Xiang was voluntarily bent down to jump into the river or stepped on the river pebble and unstable center of gravity. Anyway, it looked like Wang Xiang was about to jump into the river and was pressed down.

Ding Chong frowned, "Come here, please send Wang Langjun back first!"

Ding Chong was very disappointed.

In fact, Ding Chong asked Wang Xiang to try it just now. On the one hand, it was due to the situation on the scene, and on the other hand, it also expressed to Wang Xiang that Wang Xiang was not sure whether he wanted to or caught it. Anyway, as long as he tried his best, he would get a fish in his hand at the edge of the Zhangshui River, and then he said that the fish was jumped into his arms or to the shore, and others could not tell clearly, so this level naturally passed.

Unfortunately, Wang Xiang did not understand this, but was directly pressed to the ground on the shore, and then confirmed the so-called "going to the river"...

What a fool!

Ding Chong cursed in his heart, but he didn't expect that in less than half a day, he heard almost the same sentence from Cao Cao: "I am really a fool!"

Ding Chong was shocked.

Cao Cao waved his hand and added: "The people in Jizhou are so stupid and stubborn that this is..."

Ding's family is considered a marriage between Cao's family, so Cao Cao was quite direct about Ding Chong's words, and did not even modify them too much. Cao Cao sighed again, "You will do this matter well!"

"The people in Jizhou are not because of the Wang family's son or the regional view, but want to stop the system of exams and justice!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "The exams and justice are more important than talent, and more important than virtue! Today, the exams and justice are discussed in the exams and justice are a big discussion on virtue. This may be correct, but this may be noticed? Youyang was defeated by such a traitor!"

Ding Chong was stunned, then suddenly realized.

People in Jizhou are obviously unwilling to take any new path to talent promotion. The original path is obviously simpler and better to get more benefits, while the new examination system is obviously more difficult and harder to walk.

Especially under the auspices of people from Yuzhou, on-site exams, etc. If you don’t have any talent, you rely on piecework or by the help of your disciples, how can you stand out and get a good ranking?

Wouldn't this cut off your future?

Therefore, after the list came out, these Jizhou children did not talk about any issues regarding Wang Xiang's talent and ability. Instead, they seized on the deeds that Wang Xiang had boasted before, and put on the names of fraud, exaggeration and arrogance on Wang Xiang. The fundamental purpose was to target the examination and formal system, indicating that there was something wrong with the examination and formal system, and it was better to have the original examination and examination system...

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and a little cold light flashed in his eyes, "Since that's the case, that's it!"

When did Cao Cao be afraid of whom?

Since you have chosen to be shameless, then everyone might as well be shameless!

Cao Cao couldn't help but remember that when he found Xu Zijiang, if he hadn't made up his mind and acted like a scoundrel, he might have been fooled by Xu Zijiang!

Is it even harder in Yecheng now than before? When Cao Cao had no official position or soldiers, he could make Xu Zijiang surrender. Could it be that he would not be able to do so now?
Chapter completed!
