As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

No one thought that even though Kong Rong was a descendant of Confucius, he would not obey the words of Confucius.

To be honest, Kong Rong himself had a lot of controversies, but at least he dared to criticize.

In history, he was caught by Cao Cao and killed because he said that parents had no kindness to their children.

You must know that Confucianism has always emphasized loyalty and filial piety as its foundation.

Based on filial piety, people should be filial to their parents, and by extension, people should be loyal to their monarch.

It is said that the monarch is the parent of the people in the world and raises the people of the world, so the people of the world should be filial to the monarch.

Therefore, filial piety is fundamental and the cornerstone of governance in many dynasties.

It is the basis for winning people's hearts.

The posthumous titles of many emperors of the Han Dynasty basically included the word filial piety: Emperor Xiao Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiao Wen of the Han Dynasty, which emperor they were filial piety to.

This is used to prove one's legitimacy.

The same was true for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in later generations. Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Hongzhi Zhongxing, and others were regarded as the emperors of the Ming Dynasty through the ages, so they received this posthumous title that was the best in their hearts.

Kong Rong publicly denied the basis of filial piety, which undoubtedly completely broke people's previous cognitive basis.

From this we can know that no matter what Kong Rong's character is, from what he said, we can know that during the Three Kingdoms era, people's thoughts were still active and they dared to question some fixed core things.

You must know that Kong Rong's words did not benefit him at all.

Whether it is reputation in future generations or actual benefits.

In terms of reputation, he already had Kong Rong Rangli, and even children in later generations knew about it.

He no longer needs to seek fame and reputation.

In terms of interests, as long as he honestly adheres to what Confucius said and stands with the mainstream of scholars in the world, even Cao Cao can only suffer his criticism.

Kong Rong is obviously the person who can benefit the most from the concept of loyalty and filial piety.

But instead he radically said such shocking words.

As for the purpose, it is obviously related to the increasingly ignorant filial piety of people at that time.

For example, Guo Ju buried his son to serve his mother. For the sake of filial piety, he could bury his son to prevent his mother from saving food rations for her beloved grandson.

Kong Rong was obviously opposed to this approach.

"How could Kong Wenju say such rebellious words?" Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this.

At this time, the other party has not criticized him yet, and his understanding of Kong Rong is only that he is a famous person, the kind who has been famous since childhood. Compared with him, Cao Cao, he is a child of the heavenly family.

Absolutely heavenly.

Those are the descendants of Saint Kong.

And what he is, he is a descendant of the eunuch family. In order to clear this stain, he did not hesitate to use ruthless means to break with the eunuch class.

Cui Cheng was also confused. Kong Rong was a descendant of Confucius, and he was also the first class among the gentry.

It can be said that according to the Taihang Mountain people, Kong Rong should have been the most stubborn and conservative in adhering to this loyalty and filial piety, which would be beneficial to his own interests.

But he was opposed to the word filial piety.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that Kong Rong, the great filial son of the direct descendant of the saint, took a clear-cut stand against foolish filial piety.

He was even caught by Cao Cao because of this incident and was killed.

You can say that he is a madman, or you can say that he has something to pursue and does not want to rely on the words of his ancestors to make a living.

"What kind of relationship should a father have for his son? In terms of its original meaning, it is actually love. He wants to express his feelings. How does a son treat his mother with ridicule? It's like putting things in a bottle and leaving them when they come out."

These are Kong Rong's original words.

Moreover, he was so powerful that the two children who died with him also said the famous saying of the ages:

"When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?"

During the Jian'an period, he was sentenced to abandoning the market and his wife was executed together.

Kong Rong’s words were spoken decades earlier under the guidance of Wen Rensheng’s philosophy.

He is saying that parents have no favor in procreating their children.

There is no kindness in being born without nourishment.

Parents cannot use the reason of having children to give unlimited orders to their children.

Children cannot unconditionally obey their parents because of this.

The Peacock Flying Southeast happened in the Han Dynasty. It was a tragedy caused by the increasingly fierce ignorance and filial piety at that time.

Kong Rong's statement is quite similar to the modern view.

It fits well with the core of Wenrensheng’s philosophy.

That is, parents and children are independent individuals.

The two are equal in personality and cannot give orders to each other.

Parents can discipline each other on a reasonable basis for the purpose of educating their children and nurturing each other, but they cannot rely on the grace of procreation to demand unrestricted obedience from the other party, including beating and insulting to vent their emotions, etc.

Kong Rong was obviously against ignorant filial piety.

For example, "If the father wants the son to die, the son has to die."

However he did not explain this.

Therefore, the current gentry people scolded Kong Rong for being unfilial.

"It's a waste of fame. It's really young. It's not inevitable."

"Kong Wenju is not a son of man, and we are ashamed to associate with him."

At the same time, in the Taihang Mountains.

Within a certain school.

Xun You found Kong Rong, who was chatting and laughing with a certain future troll, Mi Heng, who was still a twelve-year-old boy at this time.

"Brother Kong, outsiders have misunderstood you. Why don't you give an explanation and let them insult you?" Xun You came over and said.

He came to Kong Rong, of course, for a purpose... The other party is famous, and when the people choose a king in the future, this guy will definitely come in handy.

He understands that his ability does not lie in controlling military power.

He can make plans, but he cannot kill decisively.

In this case, starting from reputation, you may not be able to be a monarch in the future and leave your name in history.

This is much better than assisting a king.

That's why he came to persuade Kong Rong, because he understood that as long as Kong Rong spoke his true mind, a reversal would come.

It is what the wise do when they need help in times of need.

At this time, the little Mi Heng said: "Huh, everyone in the world is mediocre. Except for Master, only Kong Wenju is impressive. Why do you have to explain to mediocre people?"

Xun You was shocked when he heard this.

Whose kid has a map cannon at the exit... I also learned this term from Master Zhao.

"Well said, vulgar people will not listen to me no matter how much I explain, and they will not understand. I will only wait for Qing Shi to understand me." Kong Rong said with a smile.

He is 32 years old this year, a full 20 years older than Mi Heng, but he immediately fell in love with him.

This is phase nature.

The big troll Mi Heng only obeyed two people, one was Kong Rong and the other was later Yang Xiu.

Now there is one more person, Zhao Xiangshi.

"Well, it seems that I am also a mediocre person, but I do understand that Brother Wenju's real idea is that a small stick can be used to receive, and a big stick can be used to move. This is what Confucius said. Sons should not do anything for the so-called filial piety.

Sacrificing one's own life would be extremely unfilial." Xun You sighed.

Kong Rong also criticized others, but he criticized Cao Cao because he wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty.

His death was an internal power struggle, not caused by trolls.

So after he heard this, he immediately felt like a confidant.

"That's why, apart from your master, you are the one who knows me, and there is also Gongda." Kong Rong stood up and bowed to Xun You.

"I dare not take it seriously." Xun You immediately avoided it.

Of course he couldn't accept it.

"The day before yesterday, I listened to Master's lecture. He casually said that many of the words of Saint Kong had good intentions. However, for the sake of glory, wealth, fame and wealth, and to cater to the emperor, future generations will inevitably misinterpret and use them and make them far-fetched. Thousands of years later.

, I don’t know how much hatred will be caused to him. As a descendant, of course I have to bear the responsibility of clearing up his origin. This is great filial piety." Kong Rong then said why he said the treasonous words.

"So that's it. It's true that Confucius and Wen promoted filial sons in the world, and he really lived up to his name." Xun You admired him very much.

You must know that there is really no benefit at all from what Kong Rong said. If he put it in the eyes of a king who couldn't stand him, it would be a recipe for death.
