Kong Qiu knew that the Qi country was going to have civil strife since he heard the abolition order that day, so he led the disciples to the Qi country non-stop, but who expected that when he arrived in Linzi, Tian Bao had been destroyed and Tian Sui Tho had already taken the army to the border of Qi State, and he didn't see Lao Laizi, who was also named the elder of the country, which made him feel the most regrettable thing during this period!

The weather in May was very hot, Lu Di had just taken two steps, and his hot head was red and wet, Qi Jinggong saw it and hurriedly asked Liang Qiu to take a big banana fan to fan Lu Di, but Lu Di snatched the big banana fan from Liang Qiu's hand, and went straight to Qi Jinggong's side to fan him.

Everyone nodded when they saw this picture of the father's love and filial piety, and Kong Qiu was even more emotional, and asked a large group of disciples behind him, "Do you know that the word filial piety on the oracle bone of the Shang Dynasty is a child supporting the old man?" ”

The disciples shook their heads and didn't know, and then bowed very taught. Kong Qiu asked again, "What do you say filial piety?" ”

"Filial piety is to raise them, to provide them with the best food when they are alive, to dress them in the best clothes, and to give them the best sacrifices when they die," said a disciple.

"Zichi, what you said is not right! If filial piety is just raising, then what is the difference between it and people raising cattle, sheep and horses? I think filial piety is respect, respect for parents, and respect with body and mind; Filial piety is true love from the heart, the language should be kind, the face should be pleasant, and the behavior should be respectful. A disciple objected.

As the elder of his disciples, Min Yan was also the most virtuous person, and all the senior brothers looked at him and wanted to hear his opinion. Min said, "Master, I don't know what filial piety is. But I know the manners of a Son of Man. ”

"Oh? Zijian said, "Kong Qiu smiled, very appreciative.

Zijian is the word for Min loss.

"Master, as a son of man, you must know what your parents like and what you hate, and we will try our best to satisfy their likes when we like them, and we will try to keep our parents away from him if we hate them, and this is what the disciples think is the etiquette of being a son of man," Min Cheng thought for a while.

Kongqiu nodded and then shook his head. The disciples didn't know what they meant, and Duanmu Ci asked, "Master nodded and shook his head, I don't know what it means?" ”

Min Zheng also looked at Kong Qiu respectfully, wanting to know why. Kong Qiu glanced at the disciples and said, "I nodded because Zijian is the same as he said, Zijian can love what his parents love, can hate what his parents hate, and then put what he loves and what he hates into action, and try his best to meet his parents' requirements." But Ziji, if your parents love and hate others or violate the rules of etiquette, do you still love what you love and evil what you hate? ”

"This? Master, the disciple thinks that there are all parents in the world, even if they have something" Min Cheng said here and paused and continued, "The disciple thinks that it is just like the sun in the sky, although he is very uncomfortable and even a little disgusted by the people who are roasting him at this time, but the sun is the sun after all, we can only look up to him, obey him, respect him, when we encounter a cold winter, when the sun comes out, we will also be warm, right?" Therefore, the disciples thought that obedience and the maintenance of family harmony were the rites of the Son of Man."

Kong Qiu didn't answer Min Yi directly: "What do you think of the word filial piety now?" The top is a character, and the bottom is a subcharacter. From the superficial meaning of the word, it means to serve and respect one's parents wholeheartedly. What is Yaya? It is the law of the changes and endless growth of all things in heaven and earth; Zi Chengyao means that it is in accordance with the scriptures of heaven and the righteousness of the earth, in the words of Lao Tzu, it is in accordance with the Tao, and people will praise it in accordance with it. ”

"Master, then dare to ask how to achieve filial piety?" Duanmu gave the way.

"This question is late, Zixia, Zijian all make sense. Those who do not support their parents are not filial; Those who do not respect their parents are not filial; Those who are unhappy with their hearts and go against their will are also unfilial. In short, I think that filial piety is the life and death within the ritual system, and the life must be in accordance with the etiquette, and the death must also be in accordance with the etiquette; Filial piety is love, it is love for parents, but it must be love within the etiquette, otherwise love is not love but mourning but hindering! ”

All the disciples thought for a long time and nodded their heads.

"Master, what if there is a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety? How should disciples and others choose? It was another disciple who spoke.

Bo Niu asked this question very well, because he elevated filial piety to his parents to loyalty to the country. I have always told you that governing a country requires the use of etiquette, and the behavior of the people of the country will not produce **** and pain. What is a country? Look at the ears of wheat, and the fullness of the ears of wheat is like a nation, and the sons of the grain are like every family. A nation is made up of families, and if every family is at peace, then the nation is at peace. The family is the parents and the children and the brothers, and the children are filial to their parents and their brothers and love each other, just like filial piety and love for the king, how can there be infidelity? The foundation of the etiquette system is filial piety, is the love of the people, only in this way, the old man is safe, the friend believes in it, and the young man cherishes it... The society can be established! ”

The endless teachings of Kong Qiu here made Yan Ying, Gao Zhang, Gongsun Qing, Xianzhang and other doctors listen to it with fascination and appreciation. But Lu Di rolled his eyes in his heart, this Kongqiu, is he really confused or fake, why does he keep emphasizing the courtesy of the upper and the higher, but never talked about what the upper and lower should be? After all, people are not rivers and the water only goes in one downward direction, and it is important to go down and up, and up and down is equally important. However, his handouts are in line with the needs of the superiors to govern the country, and the subordinates are all respectful and courteous, which monarch would not like it?

Qi Jinggong just cut a few steps, he was tired and had a back pain, he stood up, hammered back and said, "Fellow villager, the widow only cut a few steps and felt hot and dizzy and tired, the widow wanted to spend so much time and energy to cut such a close distance, but why did you open the sickle later than the widow but quickly left the widow behind, how did this do it, is there any trick?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the old man doesn't know what the trick is, but after he has made up his mind to harvest this piece of wheat, he will bow down, move the sickle, and work until he has to rest..."

Qi Jinggong was stunned when he heard this, and Kong Qiu stepped forward to salute the old man respectfully, and then said to Qi Jinggong, "Your Majesty, the elder means that when you make up your mind to do something well, you need to work hard, no matter how hot the sun is on your back, how hot and dry the air is, you must persevere, only persistence can achieve success, just like this wheat harvest!" Scholars must be Hongyi, there is a long way to go! ”

Yan Ying and the others also bowed down and praised. The villager elder smiled stupidly, "Your Majesty, doctors, the old man is just a farmer, but I didn't expect what Kong Guolao said..."

As soon as his words fell, everyone was amused, but Qi Jinggong didn't think so, and rewarded the old man with some wealth. Between the monarchs and ministers, they laughed and laughed, but they were very harmonious in the wheat field.

Just when Qi Jinggong lifted his trouser leg and went down to the field again, a soldier hurriedly hit his horse and came over, "Report, your lord, it's not good, General Tian Sui Tho has been defeated in six battles and six times, and now he has retreated to Maiqiu."

What the? Everyone was taken aback, and Qi Jinggong collapsed to the ground in fright.

After returning to the capital, Qi Jinggong held a secret meeting of his confidants.

Guo Xia shouted, "Your Majesty, Xia... Oops..."His wound was affected by Fang Cai's overstepping, and he inhaled cold air in pain, but still said, "Xia, I'm going to replace Tian Sui Tho and personally serve as the main general, I don't believe him Zhao Wu is really that powerful!" ”
