Chapter 229: Filial piety comes first
The Chinese nation has always paid attention to filial piety, and various stories of flaunting filial piety emerge in endlessly, which is also one of the virtues that are very conducive to national stability. Lu Chengqi has never denied the practicality of "governing the country with filial piety", after all, everyone eats this set, and it is also beneficial to the rule of the imperial court.
Confucianism can occupy the academic dominance of the Central Plains for thousands of years, and there is naturally a reason for it. The five constants of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faithfulness" advocated by Confucianism are the basic moral norms for being a human being, and if they are used as ethical standards, they can handle the relationship between people well and achieve a harmonious state with each other.
The Confucian principle of dealing with others is "gentleness, kindness, courtesy, thrift, and tolerance", which means "gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility". Even if I don't agree with you, I respect you. This is actually the same as the "I don't agree with your point of view, but I swear to defend your right to speak" put forward by the West later. However, this is only mutual respect between the reader and the reader, and not the respect for the reader and the other classes, as is the case in Western doctrine. This is also where Chinese culture is very contradictory.
Finally, on top of all these good standards, there is a higher moral standard, that is, "loyalty, filial piety, honesty, shame, and courage", which are the five virtues. Why do you put loyalty first? This is also the reason why Confucianism can become the doctrine that the ruler likes, and if he advocates loyalty to the king, he will naturally be loyal to the imperial court. To be a courtier is to be loyal to the king, and as a son of man, to be filial to his parents, and honesty refers to honest conduct and knowing shame. Needless to say, courage refers not to martial arts, but to courage.
These fifteen words exhaust the essence of Confucianism. It also explains why it has become the largest school of doctrine. In fact, Confucius only proposed "benevolence, righteousness, and propriety". Mencius extends to "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom". But none of them can be the ruler's dish. Only Dong Zhongshu further interpreted it as "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith" and put forward the induction of heaven and man, which established the status of Confucianism as the doctrine of emperors. After that, Confucianism continued to develop, and then derived the ten moral standards of "gentleness, kindness, courtesy, thrift, and tolerance" and "loyalty, filial piety, honesty, shame, and courage", which firmly made Confucianism hold the status of the first brother in the ideological circle.
And if Zhou Zhi is affected by this, she will naturally be vulgar, thinking that Lu Chengqi has not visited his concubine for more than half a year, which is a great unfilial behavior. And it is not Lu Chengqi, who is the original soul. How do you know that the ancients attached so much importance to filial piety?
Lu Chengqi had also heard about Gyeongbokgun, but firstly, he was afraid that the diorama would be dismantled, and secondly, he really couldn't mention the idea of filial piety to a stranger. Maybe deep in his soul, he is still nostalgic for his parents in his previous life, so he resists so much, right?
For the emperor for a long time, Lu Chengqi also understood that there are some things, even if they are superficial. It is also necessary. If the emperor does not practice filial piety, how can he convince thousands of people. Respect the way of loyalty and filial piety?
As soon as the thought turned, Lu Chengqi immediately said: "This matter is negligent, Zitong reminded me correctly." Today happens to be nothing important, so I and Zitong will go to see the concubine. In the Jingfu Palace, although there are many people in the palace, she must still be very lonely. ”
Seeing that Lu Chengqi had a mistake and would correct it, Zhou Zhiruo's face that could be broken by blowing a bullet showed a smile and said: "Your Majesty can know the mistake, and Mingjun's evaluation will definitely not be able to escape." ”
Lu Chengqi smiled bitterly, if he hadn't scattered everyone, including the attendants who recorded his daily life, I am afraid that this stalk would have been passed down for thousands of years. The queen praised the emperor as a wise man through the ages, this matter is above the history, I'm afraid it's the first time, right?
Thinking about what he had to do, Lu Chengqi also ate faster. But after a cup of tea, I was full.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Chengqi took a short rest, and then let the chamberlain lead him in front and went to Gyeongbokgun Palace. Queen Zhou Zhiruo naturally wants to follow her.
In the palace, even if Lu Cheng started to move, the imperial guards had to follow closely behind, and they didn't dare to slack off. After a long time, Lu Chengqi was also accustomed to the existence of these people, and almost ignored them.
Gyeongbokgjeon is located in the innermost part of the harem of the Dashun Imperial Palace, very close to the back garden. From the perspective of the environment alone, this is the most suitable place for retirement in the palace. But because there are too many scenery, it seems a little sparsely populated.
Passing through the dark green tile-colored corridor, and then passing through the long palace road, it can be regarded as from the vertical arch hall to the Gyeongbokgung hall. Before entering the temple gate, he saw many palace maids weaving cloth in the temple. Of course, the cloth woven by the palace maid cannot be the linen cloth used by ordinary people, but the precious silk cloth. The tool used was a spinning wheel that Lu Chengqi didn't know.
In fact, the spinning wheel appeared very early, and it was already very popular in the Qin and Han dynasties. After arriving in the Dashun Dynasty, there was a large spinning wheel. At this moment, the spinning wheel used by the palace maid is this kind of large spinning wheel.
This kind of large-scale spinning wheel requires the joint efforts of two people to complete, and the work efficiency is much improved compared with the previous hand-spinning wheel and pedal spinning wheel. But Lu Chengqi, who was reborn, still felt that this kind of textile was too slow.
After paying a little attention to some palace maids, the chamberlain said loudly: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Hearing that His Majesty the Emperor was coming, these palace maids hurriedly stopped what they were doing and bowed down. Lu Chengqi said: "Excuse me, do you know where the Empress Dowager Zunci is?" ”
At this moment, an extremely nice voice came from the hall: "But Your Majesty has arrived?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a down-and-out middle-aged woman, wearing a bow robe, slowly walked out of the hall. This kind of clothing is colored by Huang Luo, covering the knees, big belts, and leather with the color of the clothes, and the shape is very similar to the queen's Yiyi, but there is no Zhai Wen, and it is worn by the royal women when they personally serve silk.
Lu Chengqi noticed that the woman in front of him, even though she was over forty years old, still looked very young, and there were no wrinkles on her ruddy face. Maybe it's the royal family, and they're all well-maintained. has a gentle temperament, which is the same as Zhou Zhiruo, step by step, showing everyone's beautiful demeanor. This kind of temperament, even after a woman is old, still exists. It's like an old wine, the older it gets, the more mellow it becomes.
This Liu family was originally Lu Chengqi's cheap father and Emperor Yuanshou's concubine. Since the death of Lu Chengqi's biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhang Xian, it has been the Liu family who raised Lu Chengqi and has always regarded it as his own. However, the unlucky ghost before, his body was weak and naughty, and Liu's discipline was quite laborious. is not his biological mother, and as soon as he speaks, he goes to complain to Emperor Yuanshou. The Liu family also suffered a lot of admonitions from Emperor Yuan Shou because of this, which were very wronged. But she never thought of Xu and still treated Lu Chengqi as always.
