Soon, Jing Wen told Dugu Kaiyuan that Dugu Mou had adopted Dugu Mou to his deceased Dugu Hun as a cheap son, but Dugu Kaiyuan was angry. Dugu Kaiyuan scolded Jing Wen, a messenger, and had to intervene in everything. However, this was related to the reputation of his family, and Dugu Kaiyuan had no choice but to ask Emperor Li Shimin to make a decision. It was also very difficult for others to make a decision because this was a family matter. Dugu Kaiyuan could only go to Emperor Li Shimin to cry and call for his parents, hoping that Emperor Li Shimin would help him make a decision because of his friendship with his ancestors. Emperor Li Shimin was also one of the eight pillars of the country back then, so he could only bring Jing Wen to ask.

"Emperor, Dugu Mou has been adopted by Dugu as his stepson, that is, he inherited the Dugu family's family business. According to the patriarchal law, the stepson also has the right to inherit and can be regarded as a legitimate son. Therefore, Dugu Mou is the head of the Dugu family now. Dugu Kaiyuan comes here and shouts, it is too late. Moreover, Dugu Kaiyuan is also a concubine's son, so naturally there is no inheritance right." Jing Wen said.

Dugu Kaiyuan immediately said: "My brother has passed away, how can he take up a stepson? Besides, why don't the stepson choose from my lineage and choose an outsider?"

Dugu Kaiyuan was right, because even if he chose his stepson, he would choose from the same clan. But of course Jing Wen and the others knew that if he chose from Dugu Kaiyuan's lineage, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving them the position of the head of the family? Then, where would there be good fruits for Dugu Xin's mother and their others? Therefore, such things must not be done.

But Jing Wen had already prepared. He said: "Your Majesty, this matter is actually very simple. That is, Dugu's wife accepted her adopted son instead of her husband. What's wrong with this? Besides, as for why she didn't choose from Dugu Kaiyuan, that is, Dugu Kaiyuan ignored the family friendship and made them heartbroken, so she didn't choose from Dugu Kaiyuan's lineage."

"Oh? What do you say about friendship?" Li Shimin asked.

Jing Wen immediately said: "In the Jiangdu Incident, Yu Wen and the Dugu family were massacred, and the only one who survived was my concubine Dugu Xin and his mother Zhou. They were also forced to follow Empress Xiao of the former Sui Dynasty to Dingxiang City. They did not come back until the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks. At that time, General Dugu Kaiyuan was able to escape the disaster. However, he did not come back to deal with the funeral for his family, but instead became an official in the Tang Dynasty. After that, he had never looked for family relatives for many years. This indifference to relatives made Zhou very disappointed. Therefore, he did not adopt it from their lineage."

Li Shimin immediately frowned. Obviously, he was also very dissatisfied with Dugu Kaiyuan. The reason why he called the family in ancient times was that the family was very important. The family emphasized filial piety and friendship. When the Dugu family was massacred by Yu Wenhua and the slaughtered, you actually ran away by yourself and abandoned the family members. Although one step back, Dugu Xin and his mother Zhou also survived, they were women! Although women in ancient times had a low social status, once they encountered danger, they would not force women to resist actively. The Tang Dynasty did not allow women to fight to the death, so there would be no one to blame him for Dugu Xin and his mother.

But Dugu Kaiyuan has been born secretly for so many years, and even if he has, he will have a secretly. At least he is in love and deal with the funeral of his family! But Dugu Kaiyuan doesn't deal with the funeral, and he actually let go and become an official in the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty has been pacifying the world for many years, you don't go to worship these relatives. Then you are too unauthorized, right? You run away by yourself regardless of the safety of your relatives. This can be said to be a disinterest. Moreover, if you don't even care about handling the funeral afterwards, it would be very unfilial.

In ancient times, the emphasis was on governing the world with filial piety. If a person was unfilial, then it would be impossible not to be an official. If a person was rumored to be unfilial, then there would be no political future. Although Dugu Kaiyuan's father had long passed away, he still had brothers and sisters. If he ignored his brothers and sisters, wouldn't he be very unfilial? Therefore, this unfilial hat must have been put on.

But Dugu Kaiyuan was also frustrated. Jing Wen was completely holding a big hat. Dugu Kaiyuan actually did not deal with the future generations of his relatives, and there was a reason for this. In the chaotic times in the world, how could he handle the funeral at will? This is actually understandable, but Jing Wen took such a big hat and became a sin. If Dugu Kaiyuan dared to refute with war, then Jing Wen could immediately refute that you would be very unfilial to avoid war. As for not paying homage to your family, this can also depend on the situation.

In fact, filial piety is very idealistic. Some rich people make their parents have rich clothes and food, as if they want to give everything in the world to their parents and feel that they are not filial enough. But can anyone imitate this? I am afraid that many people from poor families can only save filial piety from three meals a day. Therefore, filial piety does not have a unified standard and cannot be measured at all. However, Jing Wen now uses Dugu Kaiyuan not to deal with the funeral of the clan members, indicating that Dugu Kaiyuan is not filial. Dugu Kaiyuan doesn’t know how to answer, because this is too idealistic, and there is a problem in how to explain it.

"Your Majesty, I..." Dugu Kaiyuan was about to explain, but Jing Wen immediately blocked it.

"Your Majesty, can such unfilial, unkind, unkind and unrighteous guys still be an official in my Tang Dynasty? I ruled the world with filial piety. Dugu Kaiyuan is simply a person who is ruling without any politeness, righteousness and shame, and can no longer be a person? Dugu Kaiyuan, what else do you have to explain?" Jing Wen said.
