"Today, we are using the method of famous masters to argue what filial piety is!" Merton said solemnly to the civil officials.

Kong Yingda is naturally no stranger to the famous method, which has been extremely popular among students since it was brought to the country by Merton.

"The more you argue, the clearer it becomes! The Tang Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and I also want to hear the understanding of filial piety between the Confucian and Mo families. Li Shimin laughed and said, although he seemed fair, he actually gave Merton a chance to defend himself.

Kong Yingda snorted coldly and said, "What is filial piety!" Husband filial piety, Lourdes is also the book! The word filial piety, the upper is the old, the lower is the son can inherit his parents, and can follow his wishes, extremely filial piety! ”

"What Confucius sacrifices to the wine is reasonable, the son is said to be filial piety, out is to be cowardly, and the love of the public, and the kindness, the line has more than enough power, then to learn the text. Filial piety is the foundation of the country and the foundation of our Chinese civilization. Quan Wanji said coldly.

……………………

A group of civil officials echoed one after another, and suddenly Merton became the finger of a thousand people.

"Alright, now it's the turn of the opposing side to speak!" Li Shimin became a referee with great interest.

The civil officials did not stop at this time, and glared at Merton one by one.

Facing the pressure of the ministers' anger, Merton took a deep breath and said: "The Mo family advocates and loves each other, and naturally advocates filial piety!" ”

"It turns out that the famous Mo family will also say one thing and do another!" Kong Yingda snorted coldly.

Suddenly, the entire hall burst into laughter, and the civil officials who impeached Merton suddenly looked at Merton with mocking eyes.

Morton said without shame: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the son wants to raise but the parent is not there, Mo's parents died early, and it is a big regret in life to fail to fulfill filial piety, but in the heart of filial piety and not in the form, but to judge filial piety and unfilial piety by hairstyle, I am afraid it is a joke in the world." ”

Kong Yingda retorted: "If the parents of the body are affected by the skin, if even the hair is wantonly destroyed, and even this filial piety cannot be done, how can we talk about great filial piety, impeachment and loyalty to the country!" ”

Mo Dun looked at Kong Yingda and said: "Mo wants to ask Confucius, have you ever cut your hair and cut your beard, according to your theory, are you unfilial, the whole world, I'm afraid you are unfilial!" ”

Above the court, the hundred officials were suddenly embarrassed, who can not cut their hair and ignore their beards since ancient times,

Kong Yingda's breath suddenly stagnated, and he retorted: "The old man is a small repair, and he has not damaged the hair ornament, but he is not like Mohou, who has ruined my thousands of years of etiquette in China!" ”

Merton shook his head and said: "The ancients had to have hair because they thought that hair was the continuation of life, and secondly, the ancients lacked things to keep out the cold, and hair was a rare thing to keep warm. This has nothing to do with filial piety or unfilial piety! And now the doctor has stated that hair and nails are generally exogenous to the human body, cutting them is not painful or itchy, and the human body is harmless, if you don't cut it, it will be inconvenient to behave, and worms are rampant. ”

Kong Yingda suddenly finished speaking, and the other Confucian officials also had a dodge in their eyes, if a person does not cut his nails, it will be extremely inconvenient, he can't lift his hands, and it is difficult to even eat, everyone is used to cutting off their nails, and the hundred officials actually ignore this fatal problem.

"Kong Shengnai is the most holy master, and his words are subtle and righteous, especially what you yellow-haired boy can blaspheme." When Quan Wanji saw Kong Yingda retreating, he immediately spoke out in support.

Mencius said: If you believe in books, it is better to have no books! The kid admits the greatness of Confucius, but for the sake of rigid hair ornaments, he doesn't care about the health of the people in the world, and the kid thinks that this is definitely not Confucius's original intention. Merton retorted.

Merton's words suddenly made Li Shimin nod slightly in his heart, as an emperor, what he pursues is the external Confucian and internal law, and the overlord is miscellaneous, and a sentence in the Confucian Book of Filial Piety naturally cannot be compared with the health of the people in the world.

"The Book of Filial Piety is the foundation of my Tang Dynasty filial piety, and it is also the holy text of my Confucianism! How can you allow a child of the Mo family to interpret it wantonly. Kong Yingda said angrily.

Merton said solemnly: "The parents who suffer from the hair and skin of the body dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also, then the kid will argue with this sentence, then may I ask if the parents personally shaved the hair of their son to cure the head lice, whether it is against filial piety!" Or! If a person's parents die young, is it a violation of filial piety to cut their hair. ”

Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Merton took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Since Confucius wine can't answer, then the kid will say it for you, that's because what really connects hair and filial piety is after the appearance of the "Book of Filial Piety", so what you are trying to maintain is not my thousands of years of Chinese hair ornament tradition, but the legitimacy of your Confucian family's "Book of Filial Piety"!" From the very beginning, your position is biased! ”

"You!" Kong Yingda only felt a mouthful of blood surging, he thought that he was righteous and Lingran, but he was ruthlessly pierced by Merton through the disguise in his heart, and his selfishness was naked in the court.

"The hair is a barbarian hair ornament, because your Mo family takes the lead, and the people of the world are vying to follow suit, my Chinese hair ornament civilization is ruined, and you Mo Dun and the Mo family will be the biggest sinners in my Huaxia!" Quan Wanji shouted.

Many civil officials suddenly rekindled their fighting spirit, Merton's reason is more, but there is a fatal problem, that is, cutting off hair in the Tang Dynasty is a kind of punishment, a kind of humiliation to people, Merton's move is to let the people of the world follow suit, so that thousands of years of Chinese tradition will be destroyed.

Merton retorted: "In the pre-Qin period, the South Vietnamese people had hair, and the Central Plains grew hair, and the boy thought that the biggest problem was that South Vietnam was hot all year round, and hair was the warmest thing, and South Vietnam didn't need it, so it was just hair, which had nothing to do with etiquette, but convenience, I am afraid that in the eyes of South Vietnamese, my Han people have long hair, I'm afraid it is difficult to understand!" ”

For others, Merton's words are naturally playing the piano to the cow, but for those who have been officials in the south, they have a deep understanding that the south is very hot, and when it comes to the long summer, long hair is probably the biggest burden.

Especially for Feng Zhidai, he agrees with Merton's point of view the most, when he was in Gaozhou, because the weather was too hot, he cut his hair directly, and it was not until after Chang'an City that he grew long hair, but every summer, it was his most difficult moment.

Of course, Feng Zhidai at this moment naturally did not help Merton, but fell into the well and said: "A bunch of nonsense, now the southerners are also proud of their hair, this is my Chinese etiquette and education, Mohou's move made the people of the Central Plains hair, emulate the barbarians." In time, the South will be unstable, and you Merton will be the greatest sinner! ”

Morton was not afraid to say: "Confucius said: choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones, during the period of King Wuling of Zhao Wuling, I am afraid that it is also the same as today, everyone is against it, my Chinese civilization has flourished so far, and what I rely on is to embrace all rivers and rivers, and be inclusive." Instead of resting on its laurels. ”

For the story of Hufu cavalry shooting, I am afraid that in the court, the hundred officials know best, but when the state of Zhao declined, often this defeat, King Wuling of Zhao had a big mind, and saw that the Hu people had some special advantages in military clothing: wearing narrow sleeves and short jackets, it was more convenient to live and hunt and fight; The use of cavalry, bows and arrows in combat has greater flexibility and mobility than the military vehicles and spears of the Central Plains.

Decided to emulate the Hu people's costumes and combat methods, King Zhao Wuling put forward the idea of "wearing Hu clothes" and "practicing cavalry and shooting" in Handan City, determined to take the strengths of the Hu people and make up for the shortcomings of the Central Plains, but in the process of reform, they encountered great obstacles! Baiguan refused to accept Hufu on the grounds of "the way of the ancients, against the heart of people",

"Ancient and modern, far and near, easy to use! This is the strictness of King Zhao Lingwu to persuade the Zhao people, and now the hair cures the head lice, and the people are healthy, which is really easy to use in the north and south! Merton shouted.

Merton quoted the scriptures, Confucius and Mencius said that they came immediately, and they quoted the classics and the Confucianism did not fall behind.
