Three hundred and fiftieth chapters only in filial piety
"Filial piety has no beginning or end, and those who are in trouble are not born yet." [The Classic of Filial Piety·Common People]
"This can't be done. The city is too dangerous. I promised to honor you, and I won't let you do anything wrong." Sun Li raised his eyebrows and immediately objected: "Gongsun Ji must be waiting for you to die in the city!"
"No matter what, I have to make this trip. Even if Gongsun Jizhen is waiting in the city, I will admit it." Like his father, Wen Hui once made a decision, his attitude will be extremely tough and difficult to change. His eyes
He looked resolutely at Sun Li, Ma Tai and others who had no idea what he meant, then looked at Xiao Lu Yu who looked at him approvingly, and said righteously: "If I can't even do the word 'filial piety',
, even if I go to Chang'an in the future and save my life, how can I gain a foothold in the world?"
These words are horrifying and moving. The Han Dynasty governed the world with filial piety, and all actions were called "filial piety and integrity." "Filial piety" is not only the basic moral character of a person in this era, but also a prerequisite for becoming an official.
He may be stupid and mediocre, but he must not be unfilial. If Wen Hui abandons his father now, even if he reaches Guanzhong safely, he will be criticized and accused, becoming the biggest stain in his life.
Sun Li was impressed by Wen Hui's observance of filial piety and regardless of personal safety and life and death, and stopped trying to persuade him. Naturally, he had no reason to stop him.
Later in the evening, Ma Tai, who was still worried, secretly found Sun Li and asked about the matter.
Sun Li said softly: "Although letting Mr. Wen go to a dangerous place is contrary to Mr. Wen's entrustment during his lifetime, if someone knows about it, he will be greatly relieved."
"But this is too risky." Ma Tai couldn't help but sigh a little. Although he also admired people with filial piety, if they changed places, he might not risk his life to make this choice.
"So we have to help secretly and make arrangements in advance. We must fulfill our filial piety, but we have to prepare the way to save our lives." Sun Li said lightly, with a vague understanding as his eyes moved: "Maybe
, this can be regarded as a good opportunity to escape.”
The next day, wearing a beheading robe, holding a turban staff, a tassel on his head, and wearing a crotch Wen Hui walked into Zhuoxian City dignifiedly. Everyone saw this man who was dressed in the most advanced beheading attire in the funeral ceremony.
Young men were whispering on both sides of the street. They didn’t know which family this handsome young man was in. He lost his father. He was even more curious as to why he was the only one on the street without the necessary mourning team behind him.
Some powerful men from powerful families took to the streets to do shopping. Many sharp-eyed people recognized the young man's identity and immediately ran home. Wen Shu was good at governing and mediating the relationship between Zhuojun's powerful people, which was very kind to him. Therefore, many scholars
For example, after the Zhang family and the Li family heard that Wen Hui had entered the city, they thought about it briefly and asked people to secretly spread the news.
Li Li, a powerful man from Zhuo County, was young but very decisive. He even said directly to his slaves: "This man is a pure filial piety! He is not afraid of death and takes away his father's body. He is such a filial piety. If he is killed again, how can there be justice in the world? I'm afraid.
Heaven cannot bear to see this."
"I accept your order." The servant in charge lowered his head and said in agreement: "I will spread the news throughout the city right now, so that the entire Zhuo County people will know about Wen Lang's filial piety."
Li Li nodded lightly, and at this moment he heard the announcement from his disciples that Sun Li from Rongcheng was visiting. Li Li squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The good deeds of Lord Wen are spreading throughout Yanzhao! It seems that it is not just us, but
Others can no longer bear to sit back and watch the righteous men being killed, and want to do something."
In fact, Wen Shu was not very outstanding as a politician in Zhuo County and was deeply loved, mainly because of many local powerful men. When the scholars saw that Wen Shu was brutally killed just because he disobeyed Gongsun Zan, they couldn't help but feel sad.
Feeling indignant. In the face of Gongsun Zan's powerful force, they did not dare to resist openly, but because of the opportunity of Wen Shu, many powerful people in Zhuojun and even other counties in Youzhou had the idea of secretly resisting.
This time, the story of Wen Hui entering the city, throwing himself on his father's corpse and crying in mourning, spread quickly with the participation of many people behind his back. Everyone said that Wen Hui was pure, filial and sincere, and he would be blessed in the future. Faced with the raging public opinion,
Gongsun Ji, the governor of Zhuo County who was newly appointed by Gongsun Zan, found it very difficult. He had just caught Wen Hui, who had thrown himself into a trap. Before he started to feel depressed, he was made extremely passive by external public opinion.
In the midst of worries, Du Boluo Feng stepped through the door, raised his hands and said, "Master Fu, I have sent you a message to go to Yijing."
"I am raising food and fodder for the army. May I ask what happened to make it so urgent?" Gongsun Ji asked guiltily.
Luo Feng raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Ji and said word by word: "How could the prince of the government not know? The day before yesterday, the Marquis Lu of Linxiang took in the orphan of the Wen family, and the whole family was killed by the insurgents. Only the youngest son was left outside. At this time, everyone was dead.
Everyone knows it.”
"Bastard! Where did the thieves come from?" Gongsun Ji subconsciously asked, but when he saw Luo Feng's calm eyes and thought of the word 'rebellion', he couldn't help but trembled and said in disbelief: "You
This is, no, the Lord is suspicious of me?"
"Yes or no, please go to Yijing first." Luo Feng said meticulously.
After Gongsun Ji Liushen left without a master, one of his subordinates quietly approached Luo Feng. Luo Feng looked at Gongsun Ji's carriage and horses going away and said without looking back, "Are you ready?"
"We are ready. There are a total of seventeen people who are willing to follow Uncle Du. As long as Uncle Du gives the order tonight, Mr. Wen can be robbed from prison." The man said in a low voice, and his words were quite unfair:
"Nowadays, people are spreading rumors that the emperor is unkind and unjust. The governor of Erqianshi did not comply with the order and killed him whenever he asked. The family members of the late grandfather, my mentor, even dared to send people directly to the door to commit violence... A true man behaves in this world, not only
In order to build up meritorious deeds, we must also practice kindness and righteousness. Brothers don’t want to do this anymore.”
"Hmm..." Luo Feng muttered: "Since the Lord has never let go of the Lu family, it can be seen that it is difficult to change his mind. At the third watch tonight, you invite others to hijack the prison with me. After leaving the city
, go directly to Dukang Pavilion, Sun Deda and his party are still waiting there... Let's go to Chang'an together."
The man said excitedly: "Good! Since we can't stay here, we might as well go somewhere else! I think Chang'an is very good. The emperor of the Han family is at the top, and even Gongsun Zan, no matter how brave and domineering he is, can only hold a halberd!"
Yi Jing.
As soon as Gongsun Ji came in, he saw Gongsun Zan dressed in linen clothes, with red eyes like an angry lion. He felt a thump in his heart, and suddenly felt something was not good, and almost took back the leg he took.
"You came just in time." Gongsun Zan did not care about why Gongsun Ji came over. In his eyes, Gongsun Ji was more like coming to apologize after making a big mistake. The crime of killing the teacher's family was almost confirmed: "Lin
Did you send someone to the village? Lu Gong is my mentor, and I have always treated him with great respect, but you are so brave that you dare to cause trouble on your own, regardless of how the people in the world treat me!"
Gongsun Ji immediately knelt down and swore to the sky: "There is absolutely no such thing! How can I not know the importance of Lu Gong's kindness to the prince, and how dare I offend others? This fact is because someone secretly framed me, no, to harm the reputation of the prince.
, please also give me your respect, Junhou!"
"If it wasn't you, who would have dared to kill the Lu family!" Gongsun Zan looked at Gongsun Ji who was kneeling on the ground shaking like chaff. Although his face was still furious, in fact, he had gradually come to his senses.
Isn't there one person in Bohai County who wants him to be ruined?
Gongsun Zan looked a little defeated. He was invincible and unstoppable on the battlefield, but he was always inferior to others in terms of people's calculations. The mistake had been made, and it would not help. He could only try his best to make up for it and redeem himself.
A reputation that is extremely corrupted: "You, you go back to Zhuoxian immediately..."
"Your Majesty! There is an urgent report from Zhuoxian County. Bai Mayi and seventeen cavalry from Du Boluo Feng rushed into the prison and kidnapped Mr. Wen!"
Gongsun Zan was so angry that his face turned blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay."
"Junhou." Baima Yicong was Gongsun Zan's personal soldier, and now even they have deserted them. This shows how much impact this incident has had on Gongsun Zan's soldiers. If it is not handled well, his power will immediately fall apart.
Guan Jing, the chief minister, was anxious in his heart, fearing that Gongsun Zan would become impulsive again. He was about to say something, but he saw the furious Gongsun Zan suddenly seemed to be deflated, and turned around in an extremely haggard and lonely manner:
"A filial son and a righteous man, I didn't expect that they would never be together with me."
